X — EVAN
Actually, none of the Kalos gym leaders is astonishing for me but I will choose Valerie for being the first Fairy type gym leader and actually she is quite different and interesting with her whole “I want to be a Pokemon” concept.
Wulfric because I love ice types, and because he’s bloody hot.
Also, refresh if needed
um is that Agumon?
No it’s Alola Charmander.
T_T…Well Charmander and Agumon look alike.
These Alolan forms look too much like digimon! 😉
It is a Digimon. 😉
Thats the joke
They’re back at it with those Fire Fighting types.
Korrina is the only one that isn’t boring/forgettable
Me @ this batch of gym leaders
https://57.media.tumblr.com/b7b4accba586ad321141b6ba80d69044/tumblr_o47t0v6q1L1sc4v2fo8_250.gif
Right? Snooooze. It’s like it took the boring Johto leaders and cranked up the shittiness to 10
At least Johto’s leaders were somewhat memorable. I legit forgot 5/8 of these by the time ORAS rolled around
Yeah, Johto’s were great compared to these guys.
They aren’t too bad in Johto even though Gen.2 Faulkner has the lowest level team of all time for Gym leaders none of them are over level 9
They aren’t bad, they’re just not memorable to me. I mean when you compare them to gen 1 objectively, they do more in the context of the game. However, nostalgia definitely plays a factor in that, along with the Kanto ones being better designed, imo. Also I think the Kanto leaders were more difficult.
True the only one I found challenging was Jasmine one of the prettiest Pokemon characters
Stupid Whitney for me >:P
Oh right she is only easy in HGSS if you choose Quilava and teach Fire Blast and spam it. or have mostly all female Pokemon
Mehhhh none of these do it for me
Do me a favor and vote for Korrina then. k thx fam
I sure wish Korrina was on this list
The Kalos Region: How NOT to do gym leaders.
Probably voting for Korrina since she’s not completely lame. Also, am I the only one who thinks something looks wrong with Viola..? Her crotch is super high up compared to her hips..
XY had the most forgettable gym leaders in the entire series except for maybe Korrina. It’s sad because BWBW2 gave the gym leaders actual story and made them do something other then stand in one spot in their gym
*cough* d/p *cough*
I know. I’m using BW as an example because XY came out right after generation 5 and pretty much took a step backwards except for making the games 3D
Gen 6 seems more like it should’ve been a sequel to Red and Blue rather than BW quality wise
Everything about the plot is dull and none of the characters are very interesting…idk how that left the drawing board
Exec 1: “Lets make the games 3D!!”
Exec 2: “Ok, then what?”
Exec 1: “What?”
“Focus on the graphics…we’ll pull something from our discard bin for the story.”
The sad part is how much potential the plot had. It was just executed so poorly
Exactly. Team Flare was a big letdown and honestly the starters weren’t that impressive either. IMO the last game where all the starters were awesome was DPPt. XY just had a lot going for it and failed
Wish I didn’t agree
Gen.4 is the best Hands Down
Best Region design, starters, music, pokedex, remakes, characters (second only to gen 5) lore, events, legendaries, and even had some OK movies. Rise of Darkrai is one of the best ones!
Rise of Darkrai <3 <3
I like the movies how they finally tie together for once like the events aren’t just well it happened moving on.
Arceus and The Jewel of Life was also a great finale to that little saga
And It had Weavile in that Gen.
Right? :/ So many underutilized characters and Lysandres plot was meh.
Its a shame too because XY could’ve been amazing
Nah…D/P still had more memorable ones. Many of them at least do something outside of the gym.
what dp lacked in story they backed it up difficulty. DP wasnt even that bad when it cames to story. Some of them have interactions between each other
I think the story is pretty good. It’s at least in the top 3 when you rank the gens.
i was talking about the gym leaders. DP story is literally one of my favorites. A sociopath taking over time and space? whew!!
Yay another Sinnoh lover 😀
im a hardcore sinnoh fan lol. my first year here consisted of me fighting people because they insulted sinnoh
Woo! Sinnoh defenders for life! 😀 (I feel like most hoenn lovers hate sinnoh, but that’s just my observation).
Anyone who doesn’t like Sinnoh is just wrong. There’s no other way to look at it.
It is the best Gen. yet I like Johto a fraction higher than it!
Its got HGSS too! Another reason why it is the best generation!
Agreed!
My main problem with Sinnoh was that the battles were really slow. I tend to turn off battle animations when playing through any of those games.
I don’t revisit it half as much as the other games in the series either for that reason.
I can agree with that, though platinum fixed it somewhat, but in the remakes I’m sure it’ll be better.
Platinum gave it a slight boost but I still don’t think it’s as fast as Gen 3.
isn’t pretty much everyone on here a sinnoh lover? *with the exception of myself of course* all I ever see is love for it on here, and while I like it I don’t love it and rank most pokemon games above it
Only Region I’ve seen where almost no one hates the starters
they are the best!
Nah. Hoenn and Kanto starters get a lot of love as well.
I still think that the Kanto starters are the most solid in the series so far in terms of design but that’s entirely subjective.
Kanto aren’t as good as Sinnoh imo. Charmeleon > Charizard and Wartortle > Blastoise are very jarring. Wings and Cannons? They may look cool but they don’t make much sense… Hoenns are good
I disagree. Charmeleon > Charizard and Wartortle > Blastoise feel very natural to me.
But how are cannons natural? It makes no sense at all. Wartortle has wings on its head and a fluffy tail and then both just suddenly disappear.
Those are it’s ears. Not wings.
I can’t really explain why I find the designs natural. They just make sense to me.
Cannons certainly aren’t “natural” in the traditional sense but I think they’re cool.
I like them better as little wing appendages xD Ears on turtles are strange..Wartortle is such a cool design. I would’ve loved if Blastoise stuck a little closer to it.
Ones I hear less hate on in order
Sinnoh
Hoenn
Kanto
Johto (last 3 are mostly tied)
Unova
Kalos(excluding one)
sinnohs?…..
Yes
Fun fact first region to all have dual types for starters was Sinnoh
And then Kalos came along and gave us good typings with shitty designs.
Ehh Greninja wasn’t the worst other two were butts though
Greninja isn’t the worst, but fan art is cooler honestly.
He’s far from the worst just he isn’t on my fav. in kalos
They all look sweet.
unnn…. 😛 ok if you say so, the only one I like is chimchar, I put almost all of their finals in with Chesnaught as staters that I don’t particularly care for
Well at least we can agree Chesnaught sucks
Not as bad as Delphox
Delphox is one of the worst things i ever seen. they try so hard an they failed
Oh… what it could’ve been…
http://imgur.com/a/jhVh6
Delphox had such a great concept and typing but the design is really just not good at all.
My opinion
Chespin (was my grass type for a time)
Quilidin (One of my favs.)
Chesnaught (Why GF Why)
I like Chespin and Quilladin well enough. And then it got realllly ugly.
I wish I wouldn’t have evolved my Quiladin
Turtwig for life!
Turtwig for life in my diamond I have Torterra for starter
You should’ve been here for the XY ORAS days. Pretty much most people hated sinnoh.
http://s1224.photobucket.com/g00//user/shadd16/media/tumblr_mjq10uA1Wu1r5wkkso1_1280_zps1dd9b0fc.png.html
It says that it’s a private gallery.
http://imgur.com/a/o55UW
xD Can’t wait to see all the XY love.
…. I was here for those day and before than, I still saw nothing but love for them….?
Surprised to here that, but the way I remember it was that people were saying that DPPt were the worst games.
Well, at least Sinnoh is better than Kalos.
see I disagree, I acknowledge all the faults kalos has but its still way higher in my opinion :/
-deep breaths-
I’m playing through Platinum right now, and the story is a lot more serious that I remember, and that’s a good thing.
difficulty is not something I see as a positive nor does it influence the game good or bad in any way for me
I respect that opinion, but I’d rather not be able to win without any thought whatsoever. DPPt are much more enjoyable and replayable because of the challenge they presented to me. XY was fun one time through, but it isn’t fun to replay because it’s thoughtless.
But DP had difficult leaders, which made them memorable.
Lucario drain punch… >:I
RIP Vespiquen. I’m doing a Nuzlocke right now and it killed Bee+.
Damn that was probably hard to get too..
I just got lucky on my first honey. What was really lucky was getting a female.
I couldn’t bring myself to release it, I’d cheat
You can just permanently box them if you dont want to release them in Nuzlockes
That’s always true
I did that on my previous platinum Nuzlocke. xD I lost though in that one though so it doesn’t matter.
Aw xD
difficulty means nothing to me
It’s everything to me. I don’t care if the leaders had personality, if I don’t remember their fight because they were pushovers, they aren’t good leaders. That’s the main reason I hate gen 6 in general.
… tbh I found gen 4 leaders to be pushovers with the exception of fantina, which may be why she’s the only one I remember, with xy i remember a lot more of them because their gyms and designs were interesting, like olympia and Valerie, but I forget about korrina and the grass leader all the time because they were simply lack lustre in their gyms, or totally awful in design imo (korrina)
I guess it’s up to opinion either way. To me, I’m having trouble with platinum this time through.
I’m surprised you didn’t remember Korrina when she was the only one who left the gym.
See they don’t need to leave their gym to leave an imprint on me, I am at this point convinced I have a different definition of quality and rememberability than almost everyone here, which there is nothing wrong with, I’m just different I guess, honestly everything about Valerie, her gym, the town it was in and the surrounding areas had me totally amazed, but I understand most people have to have things told to them by the game to enjoy it, where as I usually see elements in the games that most people don’t and totally adore them
So what makes you like a gym leader then exactly..? Usually people like characters if they leave some sort of imprint on the player through dialogue and such.
My top things for liking a gym leader are as follows:
-Gym Design
-Leader Appearance
-Speech
-Backstory
-Pokemon Used
Valerie is the best imo because she wanted more than to just battle with pokemon, she wanted to understand them and know how they felt, thats why she got into fashion, she basically paid tribute to the pokemon she loved by modelling clothing after them in an attempt to understand them better.
She speaks with such elegance and grace, and gives off one of the kindest vibes of any gym leader. And she is incredibly strong both in battle and out of battle, her outfits weigh outrageous weights and through all of that she can still mop the floor with you if she so desires. Her gym is the most perfect embodiment of both her personality and the fairy typing, with rich fall colours and a house inside a tree, with a whimsical essence throughout.
I see. Generally for me they’ve got to have a role outside of the gym. I can’t really just like a gym leader when they say a few nice things before and after the battle and then stand there and do nothing while the towns pokeball factory is being raided.
yes thats fine but in kalos really none of the gym leaders do any of that, and while yes Korrina does leave her gym the only reason she does so is to introduce the character to mega evolution, which any character could have replaced her and done, it doesn’t give her any more character development it just develops the plot of the game and to like her for that and think it makes her the best is absurd because aside from that she’s more lacklustre than most of the gym leaders in the region, and her gym is just a mess
That’s fair. I guess we’re not really given much to work with from the get go though 😛
You’re not the only one.
Until today I’d forgotten Korrina left the gym, and apart from giving the player a Lucario I can’t remember anything she said or did.
Valerie doesn’t need to leave the gym, her gym is a mansion with a tree attached and it’s full of Furisode girls in neat costumes.
Plus the autumnal trail leading up to that town is probably my favourite route from Kalos purely because it’s the first time a game has had trees with orangey leaves and it was really pretty. Wasn’t too keen on the swamp, but the trees were nice.
And the scary house was a bit of a dissapointment, I was hoping it would be more like the old mansion from Sinnoh, giving the player chance to catch ghost pokemon or something.
Yeah what was even the point of the scary house?
An excuse to bring the friend group back together for 5 minutes seemingly.
X and Y always seemed unfinished to be fair. I think it took longer for them to upgrade to 3D than they expected so they ended up losing time to design pokemon and add stuff or something.
Yeah, it does seem unfinished.
Pretty much every gym leader in existance is a pushover though. I haven’t lost to a gym leader since Gen 3.
Roark went outside his gym and you had to go get him.
Gardenia shows up outside the Old Chateau, although I can’t remember if this was before or after the gym battle.
Maylene walks to Snowpoint as “training”
Fantina likes and iirc competes in contests.
Crasher Wake is Crasher Wake.
Byron didn’t really do anything but he’s Roark’s dad so I guess that counts for something.
I can’t remember what Candice did either.
Volkner was always the most memorable because of how Flint asked you to beat him up in a Pokemon battle, as he was getting bored of destroying anyone who faced him in a pokemon battle.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Emerald or even the original games to have boring gym leaders. Those are far worse than D/P/Pt in my opinion.
*how Flint asked you woops edited
They are pretty cool in HGSS too! They visit Johto and Kanto on certain days!
Does Byron have story regarding the Lunar wing or something? Candice did something with Snowpoint temple
I don’t think so. I think Byron’s main shtick is being Roark’s dad. That must be pretty depressing.
Candice does let you into Snowpoint Temple, you’re right on that.
Hm maybe Byron comes to the boat to iron island then?
Maybe. I haven’t replayed D/P/Pt for a while.
Me either. It’s hard to go back generations. So many missing features. I’ll wait till remakes most likely, even though I love them.
I never played Emerald and never really cared to, I loved R/S but when emerald came out I couldnt afford it and didn’t see much in the way of it being too different. The original games however, yes they were pretty barren but in my opinion D/P didn’t really do much more than they did, however in HGSS they had a lot more quality
R/S and Emerald are the exact same. I just mentioned Emerald because that was the game I played more when I was younger.
Also D/P did a lot more than the original games did honestly. Especially with the gym leaders.
*not the exact same but the only change is replacing Wallace with Juan as a gym leader
They aren’t the same. Emerald tweaked the plot so that Rayquaza got involved and R/S didn’t have the battle frontier. You could catch all three of the main legendaries, you got given a Johto starter after beating the champion. Also they swapped the gym leaders around slightly.
It did a bit more by making the player encounter them outside their gyms, but otherwise not that much more.
I never really played RS. Emerald was one of the first Pokemon games I played, and I played the hell out of it.
I know of some tweaks to the game over RS though, Incorporating both evil teams together, awakening both legends, Rayquaza and Sootopolis Cut Scene. My favourite change was Magma Base in Mt. Chimney (made so much more sense). Also the Gym leaders were made a bit more difficult. Emerald also tweaked the AI trainers so there were more optional Double Battles than in RS.
That’s why I never bought Platinum or B2/W2.
Emerald’s battle frontier was a nice addition, but ultimately it was only slightly better than R/S.
Black 2 and White 2 are entirely different games than B/W.
They have a lot of differences and things added but they’re not “entirely” different.
I was with you until you started slagging off Emerald 😛
Emerald is my favourite pokemon game. I just think the gym leaders are bland and don’t do anything, bar Wallace.
And the twins.
Roxanne and Brawly are forgettable admittedly.
Wattson is more of a character and he takes you to new Mauville.
Flannery might not do much, but she looks good doing it.
Norman is the character’s father and shows that normal pokemon can present a bit of a challenge (not a major one, but a reasonable one).
Winona has a cool winged hat.
Tate and Lisa are to date the only gym with mandatory double battles. They’re easy enough to beat but the twin thing was pretty cool.
And Juan (it was Juan in Emerald, since Wallace had become champion) was pretty suave, but not quite as cool as Wallace.
Wallace was pretty cool apart from looking androgynous since he had a cape and a neat hat. Steven was the better chamion though, that kid knows how to dress.
The twins and the water type gym leader were all memorable, I agree on those.
I’m just trying to be un-biased as possible. I can remember all the gym leaders in RSE off the top of my head but I can see how they can boring to some people or not memorable.
I agree with everything you said.
Although in the anime Brawley was a surfer and Roxanne was a Pokemon School Teacher if I remember correctly. Unfortunately that didn’t translate into the games.
Roxanne was the first ever gym leader I faced in my pokemon career and one of the only only two I remember having problems with. But I was 7 and kept trying to use my Treecko to beat her, which wasn’t the smartest move 😛
Brawly will always be quite forgetful for me though. His fight was remarkably easy compared to the rest.
but isn’t treecko strong against rock types….? 😛
No, it’s 1x against rock, and I don’t think I had any grass moves anyway.
Did you fight any trainers at all? Treeko gets a grass move at level 6…
I really can’t remember, it was over a decade ago after all 😛
welp, see I always get rock and ground mixed up because lets be honest they are super similar and usually are both present, so I usually think rock is weak to grass, whoops
It is.
oh, so I was right the first time then? ok cool 😛
Aparently it’s super effective against Rock, but Rock does x1 damage to grass, i.e. Grass doesn’t resist Rock. Weird.
Her Nosepass is surprisingly tough, even for a type advantage.
Brawleys Makuhita was also tough with that vital throw, even when I was using Taillow and Ralts.
I literally can’t remember anything about when I beat Brawly other than I did it on my first try.
Nosepass is surprisingly tough when you’re early on.
Harden to up defence, Rock Tomb to lower opponent’s speed, then Tackle and Rock throw to do damage.
I played Emerald many times. Brawley was always a weird case, sometimes he wouldn’t be a problem, sometimes he’d be annoying as hell.
Just realised they replaced Rock Throw with Block in Emerald for Roxanne’s Nosepass. I bet they did that because of beginners struggling to beat her in RS
Emerald is a good game, more for its locations that anything. (And the incorporation of both Evil Teams together, and Rayquaza cut scene)
To get to Dewford you have to take a boat.
To get to Lavaridge you have to take a cable car to the top of a volcano.
Fortree is a Treehouse City
Mosdeep has a Space Centre
You have to dive to get to Sootopolis.
And of course Pacifidlog…floating town in the middle of the ocean
And finally..that’s right you guessed it….Battle Frontier.
Still my favourite Pokemon Game of all time.
all of these things except the battle frontier are present in r/s though?
Yeh, should have said Gen 3 (or more specifically Hoenn). But the convo earlier was talking about Emerald, so I just carried on from that.
oh my bad 😛
RS didn’t have the Rayquaza aspect, In RS Rayquaza was just a dragon locked up in a tower none of the NPCs mentioned and it had absolutely zero lore to it. It was practically a secret pokemon, I only found the tower by chance.
The other stuff @Chaos mentioned is pretty much the same, but there are other things he didn’t mention that are different.
to be fair it was mentioned in RS just only by a few npc’s because it wasn’t the main focus of the game
Which ones? I never saw any of them mention it or the tower.
the tower I don’t think any did, but I distinctly remember at least two npcs mentioning the flying dragon that flies high over hoenn, I think one was in pediflog and the other was in the town to the left of the daycare
They were talking about Latios/Latias.
“There is also a legend in Pacifidlog Town of a flying Dragon Pokémon that never needs to rest.” – Bulbapedia, it only refers to one pokemon and most people pretty much agree its rayquaza and even bulbapedia says this, no one says anything about the other two, and there is another npc that mentions it I just can’t remember where or id find the evidence for you
I liked Gardenia, Volkner and Wake.
None of them were particularly challenging but I sitll think most were designed better than the Kalos ones.
Gardenia… I still hate her for I can’t beat her in Platinum!
Weird, I never had any problem beating her. Just get a decent Starly or something (I used my Chimchar to be fair).
He had Grotel, Luxio, Buizle, Wormadam(trash cloak), Krickitune, Drifloon
Drifloon should be capable, Buizel would be a bit weak, Kricketune should do well, Grotle and Luxio are so so and Wormadam should be fine for Roserade.
Don’t see why she’d be an issue.
Krickitune was Lv. 12
Grotel, Luxio, Buizel, and Wormadam were 21
And Drifloon was 15
Wormadam was too slow
Grotel almost did well along with Luxio
Those levels are really unbalanced.
You should listen to those NPCs that say it’s bad to not train your team evenly 😛
I mostly do only I got tired of training Drifloon and I tried to make an anime like one and Krickitune was technically not supposed to be their but I have and brought it back
Anime-like teams are unrealisitic, the anime writers never think things through properly.
Aside from giving the player a Lucario, Korrina wasn’t that memorable either.
She does allow for Mega Evolution though
I never used mega evolution during the main storyline, I pretty much boxed the Lucario right off the bat because I had a better one that I used to beat hers 😛
Besides which they could have given that role to anyone and it wouldn’t have made much difference.
wow we just said like the same thing lol, I guess we’re on the same slant of things this time 😛
Stranger things have happened *looks at Octillery*
lol, is it sad that octillery is one of my fav water types? but yeah i get that its transformation is a bit jarring, as a child I always thought remorraid evolved into matine because I could never find one in the wild, I soon learned better
There’s nothing wrong with Octillery, it’s a good pokemon. It’s just the fact it evolves from Remoraid. I think in Gen 2 they ended up just grouping pokemon that didn’t really fit together because they didn’t want too many non-evolving pokemon. They already had Smeargle, Girafarig, Dunsparce, Qwillfish, Misdreavus, Honchkrow, Mantine and Skarmory, so I think they were getting desparate to be honest 😛
I think I evolved Remoraid by chance or noticed that Octillary was next in the dex and took a gamble. Or maybe one of the fishermen mentioned it or something.
XY Gym Leaders in a nutshell
https://66.media.tumblr.com/a80ed6f58ca1f316fbef375830b31351/tumblr_inline_obv0omYh8j1sdg6f3_500.gif
Valerie is the only one that deserves this!
Tree mansion gym is best gym.
All of them suck. Not going to sugar coat it here. I’m voting for Ramos though because my brother and I joke about him.
Daimt I would like to vote for Ramos too …..I thought nobody will do that.
Something you can say about the region though: The gyms are all pretty cool.
Yeah, I’ll give it that. And my first time through, Wulfric’s puzzle gave me some trouble.
His is probably my least favorite. I don’t understand what it has to do with Ice. He is also fat and ugly so that may have something to do with it
It doesn’t really but it was tough.
Fat I’ll grant you, but I wouldn’t call him ugly per se.
He’s not particularly good looking, but he’s not ugly, he’s just your average old man.
What was it? I’ve totally forgotten them all.
I’m assuming forgetting it means it didn’t cause me any problems lol
Korrina ugly gym with the rollerblades made me so mad cause there was a part i always screw up and i was basically running in circles
It’s unique though lol
it is but is easily one of my top 3 most frustrating gym experiences with maylenne boxing bags at first
Those damn punchin bags!
Oddly apart from the grass one and Valerie’s, I’ve totally forgotten what all the gym traps were.
lol xD
Viola had some Web thing
Grant had rock climbing
Clemont was a quiz from Bonnie
….and can’t remember the rest.
Korrina was skating, Ramos was a tree, Valeria was a dollhouse, Olympia was invisible, and wulfric was a castle made of ice
Well to expand on Olympia (whose gym is coolest in Kalos for me) it was a clear path where you run around a sphere made up of constellations and stars! It’s like they pulled it from Mario Galaxy
God, every time Kalos comes up I realize more and more I dislike it. Especially mountain Kalos. the whole western side of kalos is so bland and slow and I don’t like it and…
blaaaaahhh Kalos whyyy
Im not the biggest fan of the Kalos Gym leaders, I really like Clemont because of the anime, but if I had to pick one just considering the video games, then I’d say Olympia. She is elegant, mysterious, and intimidating in a way (atleast for me). I also like the fact that she had been foreshadowing Pokémon Moon’s mascot right in front of our faces from the very beginning.
I vote for Ramos he is the only one I liked and right in front of his Gym my Quilidin evolved v.s. my rival
Wulfric it is then. After a bunch of boring Ice leaders, Wilfric is pretty cool. Also I like Avalugg.
almost lv.60 Avalugg destroyed by Aura sphere but was possibly one of the best Ice types since Weavile!
Lol. Non existent Special Defence, Amazing Defence. Good job Gamefreak.
Ice type are in my top 10 favs. Avalugg being second third goes to Glaceon and First to Weavile
i love glaceon
More of a Steel Type fan myself. Which is why I love Steven (and he mains my Favourite Pokemon of all time)
I like me steel but I’m more a water Guy
Anybody think Olympia will have a part to play in sun and moon or make a cameo? I think it would be nice of they tied her to the legends some how.
That seems possible, although most likely post game if anything.
I think Phoebe of the Hoenn Elite 4 is more likely than Olympia.
Olympia should’ve been the last one. She’s way more interesting than the silly ice guy.
Ps: Japanese people seem obsessed with black gym leaders being rock type.
Ughhhhhh one thing peeved me was the lazy Badge names
Bug Badge, Psychic Badge, Fairy Badge,
Bug should’ve been the Shutter Badge
Psychic should’ve been the Cosmic Badge
And Fairy…..Ehhhh Pisshit Badge or Nymph Badge
Those are really bad names. Never noticed.
Pisshit badge?
Fairy should have been BurnInHell Badge.
y’all really hate on the fairy type way too much on this site, it confuses me so
I don’t hate them, I’m just playing on Eartherns emotions.
Although having said that, I don’t love them either, and think we could have done without.
Don’t screw with my emotions or I’ll #%?!ing murder you
I won’t screw with them I might screw around with this though
I don’t hate the type, but how man are in gen 7 already bothers me. We have around nine fairies so far (I think) one dark. And outside of Alola forms, we have no new dark or ice, and we have like 7 fairies.
honestly I’ve argued many times as to why its not really all that many, and that the introduction of the ones we have are not taking away from other types but at this point I just accept that people don’t really listen to me all that often so all I will say is wait until the game comes out before you say that, because so far all we have is what gf chooses to show us and we have no idea how many pokemon are in the games, heck there could be more ice and dark then fairy once the games come out so…
What about the Jamitrightbackupyerass Badge
It’s a mythos name
I think The Pixie badge could work
Weird they didn’t think of that considering they though of Pixie Plate (Item) and Pixilate (ability)
And Clefairy who turned fairy type sounds like it’s saying “Pixie”
It really bothered me as well. It was a really easy fix too, which is what bothered me the most.
Also why do you hate fairies so much? It’s not like they nerfed ground, if anything they buffed ground because ground counters the types good against fairy.
Probably because the type is a bit OP. But Earthen also likes Fighting types.
It was always fretting over Psychic and Flying now I got to start using what little move slots for Iron Head or Poison Jab
Why didn’t they make Fairy weak to Dark or Bug.. UGH
Cos then it would just be Psychic :p
Fairy should be weak to Rock and Bug should Resist Fairy
Or the very least Fire
Well if it was weak to Dark, Steel, and Poison, it wouldn’t be too similar to Psychic! 😛 But I see the point. I’m still pissed it’s strong to dark AND resists Bug. Bug didn’t need that!
dark and bug wouldn’t make any sense though because in fairy lore fairies are tricksters and morally ambiguous, so they are not fazed by evil, but sometimes are evil themselves, and a lot of the time they live in close quarters with bugs and usually have dominance over them
They didn’t need to be strong to dark though :I
I’ve said this many many times
I hate Fairy Type Pokemon on two different levels
The Competitive scene is now flooded with the little bastards and they’re very annoying in their own way, Azumarill’s butts high attack and access to BDrum and AJ, Togekiss and Whimsicott were annoying before but now Fairy users have access to them, Klefki are annoying, I’ve proven Slurpuff is nightmarish, and the Megas are just very powerful
And the other half is the people, I just hate all the moronic drooling nitwits who think everything should be a fairy for stupid reasons or just because we need more and more, and not for nothing the idea how hundreds blindly flocked to team fairy makes my gut churn with bile, Pikachu should be a Fairy, Camperl a fairy, any tiny cute mythical a fairy, cresselia a fairy, Milotic a fairy, you must admit that can get annoying watching them blindly want
That is why I Lord High and Mighty EarthenWarrior, Esquire do solemnly swear that I shall hate Fairy Type Pokemon for the rest of my days
But why would Clamperl be a fairy. It’s a clam and its head just resembles a pearl.
it shouldn’t earthen just lets children with dreams anger him and thinks that most people have outlandish requests for what should become a fairy when its really not true, he just angers easily.
That is true, he has a quick temper haha
Who’s talking about children?
In all seriousness kids don’t play Pokemon
I meant Goreybss
Shutter badge wouldn’t have made sense because it’s nothing to do with bugs, but you’re right that Bug Badge was plain. Should have been ‘Elytron’ or ‘Carapace’
He might’ve meant Shudder?
Shudder wouldn’t have been much better.
“Corrina”… Spell check boys! lol. Anyways, she’s my pick because she’s done the most with the player. From providing the Mega Ring and assisting with trainer. I’d say that she had the largest presence of all the leaders!
It’s Korrina
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Korrina
Am I the only one who thinks Wulfric looks a bit like Martin “Wolfie” Adams?
http://www.lincolnshirelife.co.uk/images/uploads/main-images/_main/2012_A.jpg
Maybe GF inspiration?
I’m rather baffled with some of the comments on the Jungle. I’m confused to why X/Y and sometimes OR/AS is getting a surprising amount of hate. We were all extremely excited to play the games, but suddenly I’ve notice a dive in the amount of people who enjoy the titles. Everyone obviously could for their own opinion, but I thought X/Y/OR/AS were some solid titles. They looked amazing, had interesting battles (really needed more difficulty tho), and had some outstanding music. I’m not going to lie, I believe S/M will dwarf these titles in terms of content, gamplay, and quality. Yet, for GameFreak first drastic try to create a 3D Pokemon Game, it’s rather commendable.
Thank you!
Because XY was ruined due to leaks from early obtained games, ORAS had literally every new feature spoiled by the company, XY had short gameplay and was too easy. ORAS lacked the post game. But even then ORAS>XY
ORAS had a post game, just only one “new” place to go to. I don’t think anyone would’ve bitched about it if they had included the Battle Frontier (which should’ve been in the game)
That’s completely true. Yet, I don’t know about “short gameplay”. It takes about 18 to 20 hours for me to complete the main-game of X/Y. That’s quite usually for an RPG.
the game wasn’t short, people just thought it was because it hinted at something more after the main game, and when there wasn’t people look back and think that it was short
It’s usual for a Pokemon game, but not usual for an RPG, at least in my experience.
I say that’s more for modern RPGs. I’ve played RPGs that have gone on to 50+ hours. Xenoblade Chronicles and X had to be some the longest I’ve played.
It was mostly reading the long dialogues. XY could’ve been really good if there was more to explore.
If you compare the plot in X&Y to past gens, it’s very weak. Kalos also had diversive starters, uninteresting characters, and no post game. I think ORAS were a solid remake, although not as good as G/S to HG/SS was.
X/Y just seemed very rushed tbh, and it showed. Bland characters, unimportant (and not to mention, unmemorable) locations, poor story line, and way too easy. It also helps to understand that a lot of people were hyping up X/Y, and it just didn’t seem to live up to it.
I personally enjoyed them, but only as a one-time run through. S/M will definitely be a lot better from the looks of it.
I understand where people are coming from. I even stated before that it felt like GameFreak focused more efforts on creating an amazing looking 3DS game over the story. Literally, Korrina and Wulfric were the only leaders with a semblance of personality. I remember a bunch of locations due to the music, but I’d say it was a good attempt at a 3D Pokemon Game. It’s obvious that S/M is going to be superior right out the gate.
Careful there, I thought XY were going to be the best games ever from the looks of it, and look what happened. I’ve decided to not judge SM just yet.
I think a large chunk of their time went into rewriting the engine to work with 3D models instead of sprites.
People tend not to realise just how much work that actually requires, seemingly even the GF team when they were making X & Y.
As someone who wasn’t keeping up with the hype, it still didn’t seem quite as good as I had hoped.
It seems like they spent too long making the 3D stuff pretty just to justify their migration to 3D.
Most of the easiness was because of the change to the Exp Share mechanic to be fair. Pokemon levelled up much much quicker.
I’m surprised that you’re surprised. XY’s plot was a repeat of gen 4s, it introduced an abysmal amount of new Pokemon, it lacked any bit of difficulty, it’s signature new mechanic mega evolution felt rushed to me, and they led to the meta game of gen 6 being one of the most repetitive and bland we’ve seen in years. It was fun one time through, but I hope they never make another gen like 6. I dearly hope that SM can make up for what gen 6 lacked.
I also forgot to add that I feel like they added new features just to say that they did. Mega evolution for one, but there’s also sky battles, inverse battles, and many more mechanics that had the potential to be cool, but they didn’t let them live up to their potential.
Very understandable. I love Mega Evolution, but the concept did feel rushed. I don’t get the connect to Generation 4, but I would agree with random concepts being added just to have them.
Well, that’s just my opinion, the plot being too similar. The way I see it, they are both using the energy of the legendary Pokemon to reset the world and create their own.
Ulimately the plot of every game but Kanto (and maybe Johto) is “use the legendary to force people to accept what we want the world to be like”. In Kanto is was just “steal ALL the pokemon”.
Sky battles were a nice idea, but flawed in practise because Flying types aren’t varied enough.
We were excited to watch Batman vs Superman, that doesn’t take away from how bad it was once, we actually saw it.
The same applies to these games I guess. I just feel the execution could have been better of the overall games.
Although having said that I really enjoyed the changes they made to the competitive scene, I just feel the games themselves were lacklustre.
Damn I was literally going to say XY is the Batman v Superman of Pokemon games! Lmao
Would ORAS be the suicide squad? That’s kinda hard to say since I liked SS and not ORAS
True that
No ORAS would be like Age of Ultron to Avengers. It doesn’t improve on the original too much, but it’s not bad.
That’s a better comparison
I actually enjoyed SS as well. But then my expectations were lower. Can’t say the same for ORAS.
But no matter how much I tried to defend BvS when I first saw it, I have to admit it could have been much better.
Lol. These things can never live up to the pre-release hype.
I remember being excited for AC3 a few years ago. That gaming experience was so disappointing for me.
I’m sorry 🙁 Disappointment is the worst!
No but it really is though!
Well its kinda complicated I guess.
X and Y from the outside looked amazing. We had little story details but the game itself was visually impressive. Mega evolution and fairy type turned everything on its head. Then the game came out and story and region were both terrible compared to the greatness of Gen 4 and 5 and even 3 before. Lots of the music was repetitive and sort of annoying (Exception being Route 15 and Legendary battle them among a few others) They were way too easy, and was super bland. The story was poorly executed too.
ORAS was an improvement but still had lots of problems. It kept the easiness from X and Y and had no surprises. On top of it being a remake, anything that would surprise us was revealed before hand. Every single mega, the delta episode, contests, characters. There was nothing new to find. ORAS also suffered from blandness and I would take Emerald over it anyday.
A Z version could’ve fixed everything but instead they skipped it and went right to Sun and Moon. And while I would rather go to Alola and go back to Kalos, it just leaves gen 6 being completely mediocre
If you wanted surprises in the game why did you spoil yourself with what they revealed?
They shouldn’t reveal every single piece of info on the games! Trailers and reveals are supposed to hype you up and sell you on the game. They expect fans to look at reveals. Leaving no surprises outside of that is unacceptable.
How exactly do you not spoil yourself with officially revealed information. If most of your interests are Pokemon related, you are bound to run into spoilers, as everyone will be talking about them.
An extra thought on the music. I can hum you any town theme from any game. Can’t for the life of me do it for XY
I’d have to disagree with the music part, I enjoyed a number of the themes from X/Y. None of them got rather annoying except Lumiose City when I got lost. lol. I like to see GameFreak fix a number of the issues Kalos had. The region had potential, but I already feel that Alola will instantly be superior.
That’s kinda the main issue with Kalos though. Its potential. So much could’ve been done. Yet it comes out so poor
Route 7 music . . . Issues of a breeder I guess.
Gotta go with Wulfric here. XY gym leaders were forgettable
Ew, how does Wulfric have so many votes..
Well. It’s picking the best out of a bad bunch. So… Yeh.
But…he’s wearing a wife beater..and his team sucks
I have no idea what a wife beater is. But not like the rest of the leaders had amazing teams. Gym Leaders really went down hill from BW onwards.
A wife beater is like the skimpy little sleeveless undershirts that hillbillies wear.
Still better than all other XY Gym leaders, that says a lot. What the hell are Valerie and Olympia even doing with their lives. Smh
smh they are the only decently designed ones in this bunch of gym leaders….
Wow, we do differ in our opinion of decently designed….
clearly, if they don’t have elegance, grace or beauty, then they better have a kick ass personality or they are too basic for me.
I prefer simple designs, without the over the top features (hair styles, accessories e.t.c).
That makes them seem more down to earth and realistic. The type of People that could be seen as powerful, influential figures, which is what Gym Leaders and E4 are supposed to be… ( this is why I like Steven so much, his design represents someone with power and influence)
I think we have a different definition of power as well, steven was fine I have no problems with his design, but I for one dislike anything thats too realistic or down to earth, I like characters that are powerful from the beginning and just keep getting stronger, I was never a fan of the normal kid who gets power thrust upon them and changes the world archetype, I always liked the “they were special from the beginning and just didn’t know it”
simple can be elegant and beautiful, and imo neither valerie or olympia are over the top (at least in pokemon standards)
Yeh, I’m thinking about not just Pokemon battling. I mean how well is the character known and revered to by those around him. Does the character demand respect in every appearance. I don’t like characters who are too flashy, I like the calm and collected, cool character archetype. The type that doesn’t need attention, but gets it because of who he is.
Also Valerie’s wings, and Olympias entire dress and those rings, don’t tickle my fancy.
different people like different things, and I can respect that, as long as you’re not referring to the characters that try too hard to be edgy and such, like Paul or Trip from the anime, god they were awful. In a very different way than ash.
I did not like either of those two. There’s badass, and then there’s trying to hard. Those two fit into the trying too hard.
You say ‘realistic’, I say real world humans dress too blandly and need more elegance 😛
Olympia looks like she should be a superhero saving people and shit. Valerie should be at comic con or something haha
I think that’s a colloquialism.
Where I’m from that’s just called a vest.
Don’t vests have to zip or button up though?
No. Not unless they’re life-vests.
What vests have you been looking at?
*Googles ‘vest’*
It seems Americans are confusing vests and waistcoats.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waistcoat
This is what Britain calls a vest:
https://asset2.surfcdn.com/g-star-vests-g-star-base-2-pack-vest-white.jpg?w=1200&h=1200&r=4&q=80&o=d@VWBQug10PKIXqaK5y4BekejcIj&V=r@nZ
That’s interesting. They’re generally called tank tops here, although the white ones like that are supposed to be worn under other clothes or some people wear them at night. I think it makes you look like a bit of a douche if you wear it in public, but that’s just me
We only call them tank tops if they’re worn as a top and not an undergarment, and even then only some people, not everyone. ‘Tank tops’ tend to be thicker though.
It’s not uncommon to see them worn instead of a shirt here during the summer. Mostly by men though. And runners wear them quite a lot too.
Yeah, that’s pretty much it. “Wife beaters” are like the undershirt type, and tank tops are thicker and colored, usually. Vests to us are sleeveless and usually use either a zipper or buttons. They’re typically worn with either dress suits or there are other kinds you can wear with winter clothing. They don’t see much use outside of that.
We call the latter the same thing we have for centuries: Waistcoats.
Yeah, they’re formally called that here too, but the more popular term is vest
That’s just weird, you’d get funny looks if called it a vest over here.
Well there’s also a “sweater vest” too, not sure if they’re called that there too.
Possibly, they’re not very popular here though so I don’t know what people would call them. Might have the same name.
This is certainly not a vest my friend. If anything the proper name would be a tang top but in urban areas this specific type of shirt is known as a white beater and you can buy it from pretty much and local store for less than 4 dollars
It’s a vest.
Welcome to British English, leave your Americanisms at the door.
I’ve no problem with Wulfric physically “beating” me
I don’t know why people call white beaters “wife beaters”
I made fake accounts. Wulfric is my daddy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8nonGGV2pQ&feature=share
Gotta love that Sinnoh music!
Poketch Tunes! yay!
I know right? I came across Poketchtunes a few weeks ago and their music is pretty good
My favorite
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFZsngekoqI
Damn haven’t heard that one yet – but Steven Universe <3
Olympia because se has the coolest gym, she looks amazing, elegant and majestic, wise and mysterious which are traits that I like in Pokemon and characters.
My second choice would be Valerie
honestly the game I go back and replay the most is HGSS, but followed right behind that is XY, so I really don’t see how it doesn’t have any replay value, imo it has the most replay value, a lot of the longer games honestly I don’t feel like replaying because they are such an investment and you can’t just pick them up and go through them at a merry pace, and thats fine if you play it for the first time, but it doesn’t make me want to go back and play it again, xy is long enough but not so long that it makes you lose interest. Who has time to play games that long more than once you become and adult. I don’t.
HGSS were my favorite games in the series. I never get tired of going back and playing them.
X&Y has replay value, all pokemon games do, but I’m not really “excited” to replay it, compared to Gen 4 and 5 games. And you can make time. Pokemon games are pretty casual.
I make time for brand new games, I rarely make time to replay pokemon games with the exception of the two mentioned, and occasionally ORAS for breeding and such
I’m just saying you mention not having time, yet you replay HG/SS, which is a pretty long game, especially because you basically HAVE to grind.
yeah because I love them beyond all else, none of the other long games warrant that, they are the only long one that I make time for, as I have said
HGSS is just so rich in content and life. The colors are vibrant and the region as a whole is filled with charm. Johto is filled with pokemon you don’t think of using in other games so you can have many different teams each playthrough. Battle Frontier, Pokeathelon, just so much to do. It is an example of what a pokemon game should be.
Lol we basically said the same thing.
I just love gushing about these games
Haha me too. I’m going back to replay them after I beat platinum. Haven’t decided how to play them though. If I do a Nuzlocke, it’s more difficult and emotional, but there would be lots of grinding involved, so idk.
That would take months. The grinding in HG/SS is the worst of basically any game. It makes me take off a whole point of the score.
Especially with school starting up, yeah. I haven’t decided but if I decide to do a regular playthrough I’m going to consult you guys for certain Pokemon. I know I want to use Mismagius and Slownkng though.
You’ll have to trade a dusk stone to get Mismagius before the E4, but I did it with Honchkrow so I’d recommend it.
I’ll probably just keep my platinum file then.
Probably a good idea!
I wish the games had the VS seeker. I love that item, I’m sad that it’s gone.
That was so nice in D/P/Pt
I’m enjoying it thoroughly, but my team is still under leveled.
Don’t be afraid to use an action replay to increase XP during grinding. If these games have one flaw its leveling up. AR’s are perfectly fine as long as you are reasonable with your levels and dont just go level 100 for the first gym. Maybe do like, No higher than the next gym’s strongest pokemon
If you’re gonna do that just battle all available trainers before the gym and then raise them to the same level as the leaders highest pokemon.
I don’t have one, and I’m scared too. My friend told me that his game got corrupted using one. Idk if that’s possible, but that’s what he told me.
Just stick with preloaded codes in that case. Be careful about ones you use online. I had my platinum save ruined by trying to breed mew and got duplicating bad eggs. I have never had an issue with the ones that are preloaded into the device though.
How do you use AR with an original cartridge? Doesnt it only work with R4 cards?
The AR has a slot on the top that you put the cart in. When you boot it up, you choose your codes then start the game
Oh you have to like buy the AR?
Yeah, they’re cheap though. I got mine for 12 dollars. I think I still see them at Walmart sometimes but if not they are on amazon
Europe has no Walmart, but I’ll Google it tomorrow morning. Thx
Your welcome! If you end up getting it, I have codes for Gen 4 events that I’ve tested and work so.. yeah
Britain sort of does. Walmart owns Asda. The products are very different though.
That’s because people don’t realise how they work.
They overwrite areas of memory based on the code formulation, and some codes erase more then they’re supposed to.
I only ever used one once on my fire red after my friend convinced me it was a good idea. It stopped me being able to trade with RSE because it cleared the flag saying I had the ability to. Never used one again.
XY had a lot of Pokemon for replay value, I’ll give it that, but it was so easy that there was no reward in replaying it for me. Also HGSS are the perfect example of what a Pokemon game should be. Those games were phenomenal, and loaded to the brim with great content.
White 2 is a game I could continuous return to, due to it being my favourite. I’m not the largest HG/SS fan, in fact Johto is my least favourite region. HG/SS did have the length added from exploring the entire Kanto Region in addition to Johto. X/Y has a bunch of replay value due tot he amount of Pokemon. The games are easy, so I felt like I’d make a bunch of progress rather quickly.
BW2 were also amazing games. I love the amount of depth it added to the characters and story.
I honestly still haven’t even seen all there is to see in White 2. XY rolled around so fast. I want to get around to finishing black so I can really take in Black 2
I don’t own those games (I went through a phase where I didn’t like Pokemon because “it wasn’t cool enough”) so I played my brothers copy, so I couldn’t get too deep in case he wanted it back.
I bought White 2 originally because I traded my Reshiram for a shiny Giratina on the GTS (probably hacked) and I wanted another Reshiram.
I think I stole Black 2 from someone actually….
oops…
I’d love to hear that story, but I’m sure you don’t want to share it. xD
It wasn’t much. Went to a friend’s house, asked if I could borrow Black 2, he said yes, never saw him again. I guess its mine now?
Haha. Once I had my friend’s Snorlax on my copy of Diamknd, and restarted and I forgot I had it. I thought he was going to kill me lol.
I feel a little bad, but at least now I have all of the main gen 5 games?
Ehh you never saw him again so as long as you don’t run into him again it technically belongs to you not your fault.
My brother did that to my Creselia (my friend helped by giving me a hacked master ball and rare candied my Sharpedo) and he borrowed it restarted
Also that reminds me of a time when my friend borrowed my copy of Blue Rescue Team, and like three years later he returned it, and I completely forgot he had it.
Rule *randomly choses number*: Do not lend games. Ever 😛
White 2 and Black 2?
You must have money to burn 😛
my ex sold my copy so….
Never let partners get their hands on your vidya games.
Especially if they’re prone to selling things.
(I’ve never sold any of my games, even the crappy ones :P)
I was never a fan of Johto. The games were too slow and required a lot of grinding.
I played through Emerald more than 20 times. My longest Hours of playtime were over 500hrs. All spent on that dratted Battle Frontier. Never even got the Gold medals 🙁 But loved every moment of it.
I have to admit I played a lot of Competitive at the end of XY, but I lost interest in it very quickly.
ORAS I completed once….and haven’t touched it since.
I honestly can’t “go back” to a Pokemon game once the generation is over. It always feels so empty and then I miss all the newer Pokemon and updates. It just feels like I’m playing a really outdated game which is why I loveee remakes.
Starting to really look forward to returning to Sinnoh. Fairies, 3D graphics and visuals, revamps to the stories. Ugh it’s all going to be so magical
accurate

So in my lows of boredom I pursue my creativity of I want to see in SM
And unsurprisingly I want to see a new Ground/Grass type in the form of a Terracotta Pot with a plant growing inside
Like a Wiggly plant creature who fashioned a protective shell from dirt and clay, or just merely hides under a pant pot and pretends to be one to avoid being attacked
And for its evolution a much different route, a literal Terracotta plant Warrior
Think of a suit of armor made out of plant pots and connected by plant vines
Similar to what Libra said below but not what’s your favourite game. I want to know your favourite storyline in game 🙂
For me it has to be BW and continuing into BW2. I loved that. It was the first game to really try make you think ” wow am I wrong to make Pokémon battle” I really enjoyed the different style !
I agree with BW for storyline.
But Emerald Rayquaza cut scene, is still my favourite single moment in any game.
That is a great scene ! I do sort of wish we had it for ORAS but I suppose we can’t have everything haha 🙂
Explorers of Sky
I don’t think that counts, but if it does, it’s up there.
It does count no games ruled out 🙂
Oh then Explorers of _____ no doubt.
Have you played conquest actually ?
I have not. The gameplay doesn’t look like it appeals to me. Is it good?
Its different. I enjoyed it but I only played once and that was enough haah. Its a pain as there is Zero post game. Literally nothing.
If it’s story focused, then I’m not surprised, as most story based games have little to no post game.
…The stories make up the whole game though
Oh add Conquest to my list then
Is this even a question? Gen 5, and I’m sure that everyone else here thinks so.
You’d be surprised how much hate it gets.
Where do you see this hate? I haven’t seen any here, but maybe I just wasn’t here at those times.
Not specifically here although I’ve seen it here. Online in general alot of people dislike it as its not the OTT villany we usually get.
To me that’s the appeal of BW !
OTT? Sorry I don’t follow.
Over the Top 🙂 I edited there.
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
No worries 🙂 Will you be changing to Alola Raichu anytime soon ? Or are you sticking with the current pic ? 🙂
I’m not sure. I like it, but not as much as Kanto Raichu. If I end up changing it, it’ll be purely for getting into the Alola spirit. But if you’re asking because you want to use it as your avatar, go right ahead, don’t let me stop you. 🙂
Haha no no 🙂 I’ve used this mewtwo since about 2010 or 2011 I think 😛
Was just wondering your opinion on. The new form haha. Its actually near 1am here so I’m going to pop to bed nice chat tho 🙂
Alright then. Nice talking with you too. 🙂
most of the people that hate BW only hate it because they hate change and cant deal with the new pokemon
Very true! People can’t distinguish them.
This is the exact reason I can’t get through B/W and I think it’s justified.
its not imo, but you do you, Im not gunna judge…. much lol
Definitely the Black&White saga. After all this time I’m still weirdly not convinced Team Plasma was wrong; I feel like the Gen V games were the first ones to really dwelve into the “phylosophy” of Pokémon and the battles, and I love them for this 😀 I’m currently replaying Pokémon Black because I just can’t sit still and wait for Sun and Moon xD
Probably have to go with BW! Close second is Platinum.
It was ok, but I don’t think it was quite as revolutionary as people make it out to be.
Explorers, BW, Super Mystery Dungeon in that order.
It’s BW, BW2, or D/P for the win!
D/P/Pt or Kanto: Both had evil teams with cool secret hideouts to explore. (The climax at the top of mt coronet is one of the best moments in pokemon) Also, both had mean rivals that you hate. It’s so much more fun battling your cool pokemon against an antagonist than some overly-happy person on your side. The evil teams were relatively simple, though, and that leaves room for improvement. (Though I liked Rocket’s edginess) I would like if the evil teams going forward had a more emotional backstory, that ties into real life human interaction and emotions (like team skull and their leader not making the trials)
If nobody heard about this, Kingdom Hearts 3 was listed for the NX by EB Games. They quickly removed the information once they figured out it was up. I think this might be a possibility of KH3 releasing on the NX as well. Square Enix has heavily talked about supporting the system.
This raises two questions for me. Is that what the box art will really look like, and why is it 120 dollars?
I seriously think the reveal date of the console will be announced soon. Like, tomorrow. Nintendo has been on a news hiatus this week, and that break ends late tonight. They can’t hold back much longer.
What do you mean a news hiatus?
I read multiple people on Neogaf saying that Nintendo was on some break from August 8-15. I can’t find any sources for it though, but I suppose it doesn’t matter. Also, Tuesday is a day they use for announcements for some reason.
Hmm. I feel like the NX will be announced mid September, but that’s just my prediction.
I’m talking about the announcement OF the announcement. Like Sony did recently.
I know, but I doubt they’d make said announcement this far away, but I hope you are correct.
They always announce their E3 plans about a month early. It’s always about a month of forewarning before major events like this. I don’t believe this will be treated like a normal Nintendo Direct with a day or two of speculation. Sony did, in fact, announce their reveal date for September 7, and that same rumor said that this was in response to the NX’s “week of September 12” reveal date. Since Sony gave so much advance notice, and they are aware of the plans, why wouldn’t Nintendo also give advance notice?
I mean they already gave us a ball park year and season/quarter that it was coming out in, why would they give us an exact date when they haven’t even showcased the console yet?
I think he means the date when they will show off the console.
oh, gotcha, I didn’t know companies made announcements like that
Here’s the Sony stuff I’ve been referencing. I expect Nintendo to give a similar notice for their own event this week.
http://www.polygon.com/2016/8/9/12417578/ps4-neo-playstation-meeting-2016-date
oh but thats not really a new console though, just a more powerful version of the one we already have right? The NX is a totally new console, still I’m not saying they won’t announce an announce date, I just didn’t know companies did that for new consoles
I mean Pokemon does. . .
thats different, sorry I mean like just for announcing consoles, as in game companies
Rumours say September! I’d say mid-September will be the reveal!
not gunna lie, I think the hype of BOTW got a lot and I mean a lot of people hyped about the NX, and it looks like a lot of developers see a lot of promise and are starting to jump on board, I mean there is already a dragon quest game slated to come out for it and now this
Marshadow’s theory No.2
I am still in Zodiac theory ….As u see in the pic below every constellation in Zodiac is ruled by some kind of planet. http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/548632/319562576/stock-vector-set-of-astrologic-infographics-solar-system-planets-with-constellations-horoscope-and-zodiac-319562576.jpg
The mos importnat for us is sun, moon and mars cuz yeah I still believing that Marshadow represent mars …..Solgaleo is represent leo (sun) and Lunala ????….yes after doing more research I can guarantee Lunala represent cancer here is the prove ….this page from Arabic astrological text Book of Wonders.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Book_of_Wonders_folio_7b.jpg/396px-Book_of_Wonders_folio_7b.jpg
So Marshadow is one of 2 ….Scorpio and Aries ….Solgaleo is surface ,Lunala is sky to complete this we need (depth) …..yeah it’s Scorpio …Marshadow is Scorpio.
……could be continue.
Where’s Ophiucus?
I didn’t say there will be Ophiucus …..I didn’t fabricated theory ,I analyze them.
don’t use emotion while analyzing it’s bad habit.
In that case it’s an awful theory.
Anyone who’s creating Zodiac-inspired theories and ignoring the existance of Ophiucus deserves to be ignored.
don’t judge me in this stupid way …..If u think I did some mistake just tell me …..no emotion.
Ophiuchus:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiuchus_(astrology)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/zp4fvcw
http://themindunleashed.org/2013/08/the-13th-zodiac-sign-ophiuchus.html
http://zodiacbooks.com/13th-sign.html
I didn’t how this match to my theory …..which planet is Ophiuchus ruled by?
I dunno, there isn’t really a single ‘canon’ when it comes to Astrology. People just make stuff up when they feel like it.
I felt that……but I am talking about mars here.
most people ignored Ophiucus until very recently anyways though… so…
Not in Japan. In Japan Ophiuchus is a major thing.
“A 13-sign zodiac has been suggested by Walter Berg and by Mark Yazaki in 1995, a suggestion that achieved some popularity in Japan, where Ophiuchus is known as Hebitsukai-Za (へびつかい座?, “The Serpent Bearer”).”
What typing would that make Marshadow?
I am not sure about it could be part of fire….u know cuz of Mars.
Fire/dark make it super effective v both lunala and solgaleo
That make sense.
Not a very ‘unique’ typing though.
What about Poison/Psychic because of Poison relating to the scorpion part, Psychic to fit the trio theme, and a unique type combo?
It’s not going to be a Scorpion though.
If they were ever going to do the zodiac they’d have to do all 12/13 at once or it would be pretty pointless.
Ughhhhhh its 02:32 here and Jungle is active. Why always me?
8:39 here buddy but I’m going soon
I wonder if this has any reltation to Solgaleo?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_and_Sun
Of course it’s lion r 2nd animal after snake in symbolize most of ancient civilizations use it in there myth and symbol……..it connected with sun and fire most of time but he can represent water,forest, metal and funeral.
I cant vote, but I would totally vote for viola. viola booty is a straight 15/10
Try using your phone. It never works on my laptop, but always on my phone.
And if you don’t have a phone that can do internet stuff?
Am the only one not voting with my genitals?
You already asked that.
lol this and sinnoh are the only ones I did this for.
Kanto: Erika
johto: Whitney
hoenn: Roxanne
sinnoh Candice
unova: Lenora
kalos: Viola
Nahhhh. As I’ve said before, I don’t see how you can be attracted to artwork
humans are naturally made to react to humans and human shaped things. its why a lot of people sculpt human shaped statues.
Still…attraction is strange to me.
Tell that to all the thousands of people who insist they have game waifus.
I don’t, but frankly vidya gaem characters are the only females I get to interact with.
Why? Girls are easy.
For you maybe.
Girls generally either ignore or dislike me.
A few have liked me in the past, but only a handful.
Aside from which I don’t leave the house much anymore, so without Steam I probably wouldn’t interact with many males either.
Making a girl laugh is an easy way to become friends.
I’m not very funny though, despite the number of amusing memes I post.
And I’d have to know some to begin with anyway, you can’t just go up to strangers and invite yourself into their lives.
I find it so easy to talk to girls, but talking to guys I find cute is hard as fuck. Girls are generally nicer from my experience
This would make more sense if I knew the context of your gender and/or sexual preferences, because at face value I’d assume this means you’re either a girl or a gay man.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b60341caf2f6b81c00f209177d7adfb462061c806aaf150d065faebe8c3964c2.jpg
Thank you for clarifying that.
The situation makes more sense now.
I have more female than male friends ,and I’m not gay.The thing is , I’m relatively fat , but I am consideredby many to be the funniest person they know .the secret is to make the most out of any funny situation, but in your own way you don’t need internet memes to do that , just be yourself as long as what you’re thinking about hurts no one , just say it out loud , be natural , they’ll appreciate it.
As I said before, I’m not really very funny, and most people wouldn’t get my jokes anyway.
And again, I’d actually have to meet and know females in the first place which is hard when you don’t do clubbing and late night drinking, don’t belong to any clubs, don’t go to college and are unemployed. (And hardly ever leave the house and never get invited anywhere).
You know, maybe I should just be a brain in a jar with robotic arms, my life would be mostly the same.

Maybe the problem is that you just don’t have any genitals.
He might not. It would free his mind of distraction
Jackass
I don’t see how mine was meant to be insulting
Everything is an insult
Ian logic is the best logic
Because I’m always right
I would prove it to you but that may result in jail time and a fine
Sorry Earthen but that immature joke made me laugh so hard????
no, pretty sure I didn’t when I voted for Valerie, not that pokemon characters are every really “attractive” per say imo. but to each their own
I can’t vote either.
The vote button doesn’t register as a button.
I just hate how they all only have 3 Pokemon. By the 8th gym leader, there’s no reason this shouldn’t be a six on six battle
They used to do it right…
Your comment actually has a lot of validity. As time went on in this franchise, things got more convoluted. But in gen 1, they pulled out all the stops: starters, challenging battles, evil rivals, evil teams, memorable characters, just a few rare legendaries, rare pokemon, an epic climax
It’s getting too easy. BRING BACK GEN 2-4 DIFFICULTY!!
Gen 5 had difficulty! Even a setting for it! 😛
I feel like that’s a good medium. It wasn’t XY easy, wasn’t Platinum hard. Also yeah, if you don’t like it you have settings.
I feel like an easy beginning with the mechanics explained to the character, then one small challenge to keep them engaged, then slowly upping the difficulty is a better approach
Because a younger person will still choose the hard version, then quit the game. (But I would love me a hard version to test my skills, being the Pokemon expert I am and a lot of people here are)
Difficulty modes would help.
It was still easier than the previous 4 gens. I was so surprised at how fast you could level up.
Well the leveling up/lucky egg is really appreciated, imo. Helps with the grinding they can never perfect. Some of the gyms were challenging, like Elesa and Lenora. But yeah, not too hard.
I honestly liked the hard leveling up better. When B/W first came out, I was only 8 so I thought it was cool how fast they leveled up (heck I evolved my Tepig before I even challenged the first gym), but now I’m 13 and I respect the difficulty of leveling up Pokémon.
oh my gosh you’re a pokebaby! good on you for traversing BW at such a young age, I know a lot of younger kids had a tough time with it
I don’t appreciate being called a baby :/
Yeah. Soul Silver was my first main series game (when I was 6). I enjoyed the difficulty a lot 🙂
I loved my Ledian. It was my all time favorite Pokemon. And it still is one of my favorites…. Actually. Ya Know What? It is my favorite.
sorry I just mean that compared to most of the people on this site (as it seems) you’re like the youngest one here, but I get sometimes kids don’t like being called that, it makes them feel like they’re being talked down to I suppose, that all changes once you reach adult hood lol, its all downhill from there 😛
Eh. I don’t really care that much. I think we have our top 3 youngests right here
3) The Last Kurusu/ Diglett Bros. 15
2) Poekoko 13 (We’re buds in real life as well)
1) Me. I’m younger than Poekoko by a few months.
Also. I’m probably taller than most of you 🙂
why are you like 7ft tall? 😛
6′ 1″ (and a half :P)
I mean, thats really tall for a 13 year old, I’m around that height, dont know 100% because I haven’t measured my height in like 4 years. I didn’t stop growing until I was like 21 (i think I stopped at least, maybe others are shrinking) I’m 22 now.
Yeah. I’m in the 98th Percentile.
I’m 6’3″, so you’re in good company here.
I’m *insert lie here*
I’m 6’4” lol
Ok. I’m 3 inches shorter than you. Still taller than MOST.
Lol poke baby.. I was 10 when it came out and boy did I have trouble with Ghetsis. BUT I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEAT HIM!! And that’s why I hope new Pokemon players get that same experience in these generations…
Like Elekid 😛
Wow, you’re pretty young. Maybe the leveling in B/W is easy, but if you’re playing on challenge mode in the sequels, you’ll need to do some grinding.
Ah. I never really did anything post game in B2.
You still unlocked the keys though I believe. I’d recommend challenge mode if you get the chance. It can be really hard. My battle with Elesa and no ground type was a doozy. I only had petilil, minccino, and a bunch of fillers
I’ll try it out as soon as I’m done with OR 🙂
Someone else had to beat the game first though, which was silly. 🙂
Can’t they give us difficulty setting from the start?
I think we can all agree on this one
Yes my brother quit Pokemon after BW because it was hard that was semi easy yet he’s making a come back cause I have him on board for Sun version and plays Diamond and Platinum
BW didn’t have enough surprises. It didn’t have you salivating at the mouth for the next surprise. Though good on paper, it was linear and unengaging
see this is what I often say, kids these days will not play the games if they are too hard, there are some kids out there who probably found XY hard, whats easy for older people is a lot more challenging for children which the games are mostly directed at, so yes a difficulty setting would be fine, but making them harder in general would not fly in the market
I think he’s getting much better cause he thinks more so do I actually and we can over come obstacles excluding taking both of us 2 hours to get through Cornet a few weeks ago!
I wouldn’t say gen 1, I thought 3 & 4 were better at that sort of thing.
IMO, it should be:
1st and 2nd gym – 2 Pokemon
3rd, 4th, and 5th gym – 3 Pokemon
6th – 4 Pokemon
7th – 5 Pokemon
8th – 6 Pokemon
I disagree, I think it should be:
3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6
Or maybe
3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6
Depends how far apart the gyms are though
Yeah, so dumb!
They spent too much time thinking about how to please kids with easy battles. Eh. It is what it is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLLNtb0X5KI
Is this the Kalos League final battle?
yeah ….Last trailer.
Part one came out, right?
I think so.
Yeah.
I saw it on youtube
Hey did anyone see my fossil idea on last post if I can copy paste it I’ll repost it!
I saw it
Ok I remember I was more asking everyone except you cause you saw it.
New idea for a Fossil Pokemon line!
Protoffin- The Faux Griffin Pokemon Rock/Flying
name broken down Protoceratops + Griffin
the reason being is that this dinosaur is what inspired the mythical griffin’s existence and flying typing only for it could have small wings at first that help with the griffin part
Serraffin- The True Griffin Pokemon Rock/Dragon
name broken down Serrated+Protoceratops+Griffin
It is supposed to have razor sharp senses and now has lived up to its myth as a real Griffin it uses serrated to show it has razor sharp mind, beak, and Talons and is very agile in battle!
Hmmmm the whole griffin aspect is a extremely tough sale as a Fossil
Honestly you should cut your losses and just go for a regular mon as a griffin because they’re beyond a believable Fossil Pokemon
Either as a Normal/Flying Steel/Flying or Psychic/Flying just a no go
It was done for the Griffin was inspired by that dinosaur and I thought hey it could work
??? What are you even saying
Griffin inspired by what dinosaur what?
Protoceratops here a link for you this might shed some light
http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/mythic-creatures/land-creatures-of-the-earth/griffin-bones/
The Dino itself
I like the idea of a fake and true version.
Yeah I thought that would make interesting detail to have one who portrays it but is fake yet then become legit
I for one would love this. I always wanted a Griffin Pokemon, so to have it as a Rock/Dragon fossil would be amazing.
Thank you
But Griffins aren’t dinosaurs and weren’t inspired by them either…
Mythical creatures and prehistoric animals are two different things
I saw this and it says that the Protoceratops and Griffin share many similarities and is what inspired its existence
http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/mythic-creatures/land-creatures-of-the-earth/griffin-bones/
Well. See you all tomorrow. I’m gonna look for things on the most dreaded place in history…………………….. The GTS….
Good luck. It’s easy, just put your stuff in, and ask for the stuff you want.
Voted Ramos just cause grandpa is rocking that outfit.
I have a confession. I never played platinum. Is it worth playing during my free time??
Yes.
It’s way better than DP
if you have no problem with the snail pace of gen 4, its by far the best of the era, and one of the best pokemon games ever.
Until BW2 it was my favourite Pokemon game ever. It’s definitely worth your time 🙂
Guys, I don’t follow rumors that much so I know nothing about the NX. Is it going to be a handheld console?
Well from what I’ve heard it’s more of a portable console.
Yes! I can’t stand being stuck in front of a tv and have always had Nintendo portables consoles. I can’t wait for the next gen of pkm on the NX, it must be so good *cries*
It’s looking more like a separate console and handheld based on more recent rumours.
hey guys look at this: In The Games Department
Pokémon Sun & Moon
It has been confirmed that Shigeki Morimoto is going to show some live Pokémon Sun & Moon gameplay footage at Gamescom in Cologne. This footage will be streamed through Nintendo Germany’s Twitch channel from 17:00 CEST, which is 16:00 BST, 11:00 EDT and 08:00 PDT. It’s not currently known what will be shown in this but we’ll report on any new information as it comes.
Today????
umm Maybe?
On Thursday according to Serebii.
And what’s that in UTC/GMT?
Us people outside American don’t use American time zones
I would look for you but I don’t know where to look for times I just sit and wait till it comes
It would help if I knew what any of those time zones were.
Seriously, it’s about time people started talking in terms of UTC, it’s an internet standard from the point of view of web developers and us programmers use it too.
I’ll look it up and post as soon as a find it
Typo I meant I instead of a
If EDT refers to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Time_Zone
Then 11:00 is at UTC-05:00 when not in daylight savings and UTC-04:00 when observing them, meaning it should be either 16:00 or 15:00 at UTC
Ok I tried yet figuring out 24 hour clocks is difficult sometimes to read
24 is the norm here.
People still speak in terms of 12 hour when the context is obvious, but write in terms of 24 hour instead of using am/pm.
I encourage you to learn your UTC timezone though, it makes things much easier for figuring out the difference between people’s time zones.
I have no idea.
SCREEEEECH I LIVE IN GERMANY HOW DID I NOT KNOW??

only ~350 eggs!
Congratulations!
No egg moves?
Thanks! The set i’m using is all tms and tutors
Ah kewl!
Congrats!
I like the nickname btw.
Exclusive image of yet to be officially revealed a new Water/Flying gen 7. Refresh if needed.
Psyduck actually had brain parasites all these years and they finally decided to take over.
So spoopy.
I’d like to vote for Valerie, but as usual, I click the ‘vote’ button and nothing happens :/
It works on mobile browser for some weird reason…
They spend too much time optimising for mobile and neglected the sane people who still use computers :C
Heh heh. I use both and I’m insane.
I think two copies of the poll on the article could be messing up “real” browsers.
Hey guys, has the no-return of megas in SM been confirmed as of yet?
Nope, come back in a month and ask again.
No and it never will be
It would make my life a whole lot less stressful
No more Mega Char Y insta Solarbeams
No more bulky as shit untouchable Mega Venusaur (Poison monos will finally be cake again)
No more Mega Medicham and Mega Loppuny (which are basically the same thing)
No more Mega Manetric trying to weasel out with HP Ice
No more Mega Latios and Latias they were annoying before they’re infinitely worse now
No more No Mega Sableye hiding behind a wall (but that did stop prankster but now they’re venerable to Toxic again)
No more Mega Diancie and its same move carbon copy set
No more Mega Blaziken speed boosting
No more Kamakazi Mega Glalies Refigerated Explosions
No more effing Mega Gardevoir spamming Hyper Voice
No more more a Mega Alakazam or Gengar outspeeding everything and it’s op special
No more Speed Boost Protect Mega Sharpedo bullying everything
No more
And lastly no more stupidly bulky Mega Slowbro spamming slack off iron defense calm mind
Please please don’t let them come back
Literally all of these have counters
Does anyone notice that all the starters spiecies names are two words
Grass Quill
Fire Cat
Sea Lion
Think that was already established by looking at the designs.
I assume that the Action Replay 3DS thing isn’t compatible with Platinum?
Nupe
So I would have to buy a DSi or DS version instead?
Yup
Cheater
Oh chill. ARs are fine as long as you’re fair with them. Gen 4 is pretty bad with grinding so exp multipliers are pretty helpful. Plus there are events that are no longer accessible.
Should have Lucky Egg a pokeball item instead of just a 5% loot chance from Chancey.
Ugh can’t find any Dutch website that sells DSi/DS AR, they only sell 3DS.
I used to have one. I would give it to you (somehow) if I could find it.
3DS cards and DS cards have different pinouts I think.
Does anyone miss me. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1471343764369.jpg
Nope, the rampant hugging murder bear is still an enigma to me if I actually want to use one
Also they screwed up where they put the mouth
http://pa1.narvii.com/6175/1e2c0b745f8aaec125e7a5c94c19448bf0e7a764_hq.gif
It should’ve been on the white muzzle not under it
Only just noticed that. That’s kind of upsetting.
I notice everything
He still wearing these kid’s thing on its head…..it didn’t grow up mentally….this i dangerous.
I didn’t know if u can understand me or not put the concept of its mouth is this ….try to feel it. http://images.parents.mdpcdn.com/sites/parents.com/files/styles/scale_1500_1500/public/Pressmaster.jpg
Eww, what an ugly animal.
Kill it with fire!
I don’t have fire
KILL IT WITH EARTH
Rhyperior can learn Flamethrower and Fire Blast.
Yeah but I wouldn’t be get STAB from it
Besides that abysmal Special Attack is a drawback
It shouldn’t even have a mouth imo
It should just be a tiny circle right under its nose
That would be acceptable
Misdreavus is upside down
Hahaha…just its face.
Five Nights at Bewares
As long as I had a weapon, I’d be fine with this.
So many Bewear haters. It is cute af
Soooooo I’m finally back home after a 4 week vacation; 1 week in Spain and 3 weeks in South Africa. I had an amazing journey and I’ve seen more than I could’ve imagined. The trip to South Africa was really exhausting though, because of the long days and the many amazing activities I have done. However, I’m glad I’m home again to join you guys in all of the discussions again and stay tuned for the very last Gym Leader Showdown next week 🙂
Nice to have ya back Haxford a lot has happened here since your descent.
Who are you again
AAAAAARGH! I hate it when the SWTOR servers go offline. Now I’m bored…
We will be getting live game play of Pokemon Sun and Moon Thursday. Hopefully we also get new information.
Hopefully Pikipek Evo., New Alolan form, how a trail works exactly, a new Pokemon or three, City names, town names, more I tell on if split evolution will happen to starters!
Sandcastle and Baby Bewear
Also my freaking Ground/Fighting type
Rugby monkey incoming, watch this space.
And if it’s not Ground/Fighting or Fighting/Ground I will be ticked
I just know they’ll screw me and make it Rock/Fighting
Oh right forgot those
What do you guys think of these Megas for SuMo?
Mega Bellossom – Grass
Mega Venomoth – Bug/Psychic
Mega Lapras – Water/Ice
Mega Lilligant – Grass/Fairy
Mega Rapidash – Fire/Flying
Mega Lumineon – Water/Poison
Mega Weezing – Poison/Fire
Mega Pelipper – Water/Flying
Mega Volcarona – Bug/Fire
Primal Ho-Oh – Fire/Flying
Mega Gothitelle – Psychic/Dark
Mega Musharna – Psychic/Fairy
Mega Delcatty – Normal/Fairy
Mega Mightyena Dark/Fire
Mega Jynx – Ice/Psychic
Mega Noctowl – Psychic/Flying
Mega Chandelure – Ghost/Fire
Mega Clefable – Fairy – ability – Lunar Terrain: boosts the power of Psychic, Fairy and Dark moves for the next 5 turns.
Mega Mismagius – Ghost
Primal Lugia – Psychic/Flying
I don’t know about Primals anymore that is a one time deal
Also the whole Lunar Terrian is redundant since Misty Terrian exists
Maybe along the lines of Fairy Fog which summons Misty Terrian
What you think of this Mega Rhyperior design?
Fat and gross
Dis is my vision
Refresh
But Blaq mis interpreted my idea for the tail, the spikes should’ve been on the club
And the head a little bigger and the two horns pointing forward like a triceratops
Mega Clefable no ability yes the rest no
Some you gave fairy type and its to bland for them it should be changed like Musharna
Primal Lugia should gain Water type knowing lives in Water, main power from water, Guardian of Water
Some typings should change cause a few too many keep its exact type instead of changing to make it badass
It’s good I just thought some of it should change to be better.
Actually that’s not true
Lugia does not have control over the seas, it can create storms from flapping its wings that last I believe 40 days, many assume that because of the whole Guardian of the sea dealie which is also a misconception as well, they choose to dwell in deep underwater trenches because it’s power is so great, a light flutter blows houses away,
So yeah
Oh I still think Water would fit it’s description for something
How could you do dis to Lumineon???
Yeah Why Poison??
I didn’t, it was someone else
Has everyone forgotten about wanting a Mega Milotic????
*Pulls a gun*
*Glares intensely*
Mega Milotic Water/Fairy
*Hurls a cleaver*
*Head gets chopped off*
I’ll get the grill up
Alola Milotic Water/Fairy
Ginger she-beast
No but More towards mega Flygon
so when are we getting news next .-.?
New live gameplay on Thursday 🙂
hallelujah! I thought we would have to wait till next month 😀
Mega Bibarel, Normal/Water and learns Wood Hammer. Flawless design, absolutely love it.
I’d change the eyes
I don’t see it getting Wood Hammer anytime soon
“The user slams its rugged body into the target to attack. The user also sustains serious damage.”
Nothing but fur und fat
I like fur and fat, preferably on the same (male) body. But I’m drifting.
Ehh to each their own
I feel switch to Grass type instead of Normal
Its a beaver…
So Wood Hammer, has a leaf on head, Beavers chew wood, and move wood
Makes some sense
Alola Flygon.Magnificent
Off aquasynchronization’s Mega’s here’s a list I would like to see

Aerodactyl sits in my top 5, but Starraptor is just majestic. Such an intimidating bird imo
It could be most badass Regional bird of all more than it as Fighting/Flying Mega!

So I wonder what part of the game Morimoto will show off on Thursday. I can’t imagine them not showing a new Pokemon. I just wonder what island the demo will be on. I don’t think they’d just show the demo from E3.
Watch them, I don’t put them above it.

That thing is old news, you should start focusing on your new partner…. Bruxish
How is that in any way related to the article, or anything in general?
Vain attempts to shift appraisal onto his bloody sea whore
As, um, direct as that is, I applaud your writing skills.
Many thanks unto my hostile publications
Alola Arbok – Poison/Dragon
This is one is desperately needed. I can’t even describe how f-ing magnificent this is.
My vote has to go to Clemont only because of his anime counterpart who I relate with on so many levels; especially the unathletic part.
Blonde Nerd, Diggersby One-Shotted his entire Team…. Well two shotted Emolga
So what do you guys hope they show off on thursday :D?
Bewarby and Sandoom
What?
Baby Bewear and the Sandcastle doy
Babywear or Babewear is my prediction.
Guys I’m bored as fuck and want to play video games. I’m wondering if I should restart either Y or AS (I’ve done it lots of times though) or maybe buy one on the nintendo store (if it’s not expensive, or else I’m gonna be broke). What do you think?
Play the old mystery dungeon games if you haven’t.
I even own sky explorers 🙁
The Mega Fairies have come to invade
Mega Florges – Fairy – Triage
Mega Vileplume – Fairy/Poison – Levitate
Mega Granbull – Fairy/Dragon – Defiant
Mega Aromatisse – Fairy – Dazzling
Mega Carbink – Fairy/Rock – Solid Rock
Mega Wigglytuff – Normal/Fairy – Fluffy
Vileplume’s primary type is Grass, so it would be Grass/Poison or Grass/Fairy in that case
I just noticed that no Mega form has its primary typing changed. Damn, Fairy/Poison would’ve been pretty good
Alola Vileplume Fairy/Poison is a possibility tho
but…
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/157/723/887.jpg
Truuu, I’d just settle for that
Not really it’s still a plant
I’ve been saying that for years
why does granbull get a dragon typing?
Because I want it
Well we don’t always get what you want
Cuz just like Gamefreak, I just felt like slapping Dragon typing into a random Pokemon
i mean Exeggutor made sense, since dragon fruit are being found on palm trees in hawaii lately
And then there’s Mega Ampharos.
wasnt it explained why?
It’s name is literally Electric Dragon
And its base form isn’t dual Dragon. Lol @ GF
Because it was a sheep
And don’t forget the Dragon Palm
They are Alola better make a dragon fruit based berry or I’ll be a bit sad!
Fairy/Fighting for Granbull better
Honestly looks more Dark then fighting
All of them… All of them I will kill with Poison and Iron
AND DETERMINATION
Vileplume can’t it can’t lose primary typing during
Carbink I feel deserves Evo based on what stone it holds
BRUHHH I WANT DIS
dat be coool
Kill with fire, kill with fire.
IT WONT WORK
HIT IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT
Guillotine!
-Scrafty’s head was removed!-
That was scary…
I think I need a moment
Wondering Scrafty is one of my favourite Pokemon, I’m gonna have to go with a firm….No.
One Pokémon I would LOVE to see get an Alolan Form is Farfetch’d.
It is such an adorable Pokémon, and has been vastly underrated and forgotten. I even personally know quite a few people who completely forgot that it was from the First Gen.
Multiple Pokédex entries describe the stalk of cane it carries as a weapon/sword, and how it will fight for territory, or to defend it’s nest. Because of that, I could see it becoming a Flying/Fighting type, especially if it was brought to the Alola Region, and had to learn to fight off enemies for nesting space even more often than its home region.
I think this would make it an awesome physical sweeper, and if it’s physical attack in speed were greatly increased, I think it would do really well in competitive, and, depending on the move pool it would gain, maybe could be on par with Hawlucha.
It would also gain that much needed help against Ice and Rock, which maybe could be its natural foes in Alola fighting with it for territory.
Any thoughts? ?❤️
That’s nice, although I don’t think an Alolan form would help Farfetch’d at all. Its BST is only 352 and none of them are higher than 65. That’s just abysmal. It needs a real evo, with perhaps what you are envisioning as its alolan form.
Good point!
I was very bummed when it and Dunsparce didn’t receive Megas, but here’s to hoping it still gets some love this time around.
I mean, THIS SCREAMS FIGHTING TYPE! ?
hm even megas wouldnt help them. they need proper evolutions
That’s definitely something I would be down for. ❤️
We haven’t had good, actual evolutions for older Pokémon for 10 years. >.<
slyveon is the only one we had after gen 4 but i refuse to count eevee as a cross-gen evolution since thats the point of it
Yeah Sylveon is hardly a cross gen evo since it was just added as a fairy type gimmick. They should’ve just added evos instead of alolan forms. I don’t think anyone sensible would’ve been mad.
Alolan forms are cool dont get me wrong! Maybe a alolan dunspace can evolve into drampa lol that be pretty cool if a Alolan form has a completely new evolution
True.
Although, being very technical, it is the first and only Pokémon since DPPt to be an evolution of an older Mon. >.<
I still LOVE Sylveon, though. ❤️
Yea but Eevee you expect that, you know more are coming, cross-gen was nice since YOU NEVER KNOW WHO WAS GETTING ONE
I’m not even sure Megas would be the best way to help them since it only gives them +100 to the BST. We need another Gen 4 where they add amazing and beautiful new evos Dx
yea cross-gen was amazing, but people complained :/
Well people can suck it because all of the designs are gorgeous.
people thought gen 4 had too many. then after that we only had gotten 1 new ( which i still dont count) in the last 2 gens
I’m in the boat that there weren’t enough lol xP
YES
I disagree.
I say Flying/Steel and the spring onion/leek becomes a proper sword 😛
Ugh Final Fantasy XV looks so freakin gorgeous. I really want it, but release date is 29/11/2016? Roughly 10 days after SuMo release. Really not healthy for the wallet.
Get a job you hobo
one paycheck can buy me 3 games
Is it every two weeks or weekly
Lazy, rather sleep and play games.
Nah jk, just graduated so taking a little break.
Sumo?
Sun and moon. Some people are afraid of using the acronym SM.
Pokemon SM SM AND SM
Also I find it more fun to use SuMo lol
I am a Sumo!!!
Well Rhyperior definitely does have the build of one lol
Imagine me sending it out
And after giving a fiery glare it does the trademark Sumo Stomp
has anybody saw this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioE3oKQ6WbU
So normally I don’t comment much but I need someone to tell me how I can make this look more like leather :/
Leather? As in tan?
Just add very very faint specks to show a texture
I’ll try that, thank you. I want it to be worn but I guess that wouldn’t really fit with pokemon.
Simple, cheat:
http://i.imgur.com/qiqqcwc.png
Oh god, I’ve misread this replies haha, the Leather in question would be her.. Bra thing, not her skin hahaha
You said ‘this’ XD
I assumed leather because technically leather is cow hide, i.e. skin.
Which bit exactly, the grey or the brown?
The brown. ‘My bad, should have been more specific.
Better?
http://i.imgur.com/RjU7ZmY.png
Yup. Thank you. Now I just have to try and replicate a similar look in a pokemon-ish style.
I’d say do scuff marks (soft medium brush cross hatching) and maybe a few dots of highlight and shade (look at an orange if need be).
Or you could just do what I did 😛
Out of interest, what art program are you using?
Paint tool SAI
Ah, explains the approach you’re taking 😛
Lol what’s that mean?
Very handdrawy, little abuse of textures via alpha.
And presumably the image is ‘set in stone’ rather than being a group of verticies/beziers, but I could be wrong.
Oh Yeah I never use textures / stocks. Imo it just seems lazy.
As for the hand-drawn look, this is just how I sketch. I make actual lineart once I’m happy with it. I still have the body / arms to do before I move on to that though.
Fair enough.
Textures are lazy, but if you were making these things as a job, Laziness = less time for similar results = more profit.
Fair point.
*Projectile Vomit*
Show me a better version and I’ll forget you said that.
Is this like Alolan Jynx or something?
Yeah, A friend wanted me to make them one.
Nice do you have the rest of the body designed yet?
Not yet.
Also did anyone else think that Bugsy was a girl? I literally had no idea until recently. ._.
Come to think about it I never thought about it 😛
Before HGSS I was thinking Silver is a girl.
I can see that as well. Sprite art can be ambiguous. xD
I still believe that “he” is.
She’s not?
I genuinely believed that when I first played Gold.
I did then I saw I was like
“Well gotta change my list of prettiest girls now” very misleading
these guys trying to design Wimpod evolution(not bad)., they almost right about predicting Yungoos evolution in other video and I think the made electric Growlith line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izBgiG4IcnQ
I’m actually really, really glad that Sun and Moon are seemingly getting rid of the E4 and Champion, along with presumably Victory Road. Black and White is the only pokemon title to really care the story all the way through till the end, but all of the other ones seriously drop off once you beat the villain team. It makes the game less interesting if all you’re doing is beating a bunch of trainers with no plot to carry the game forward. It’s a good thing, in my opinion, that they’re revamping the structure of the game, I just hope the Trial Captains and Kahunas are worthy successors of the Gym Leaders.
I think these new games will be a breath of fresh air. Fro the first time I won’t know basically exactly how the game goes. It’ll be more surprising and that to me i s a good thing. Ultimately I think it’ll still be a rather safe game. GF isn’t exactly known to be crazy outgoing after all lol Either way it’ll definitely be super fun I think. Also I don’t think it’s been said in a while, but I remember people a couple of months ago saying that without a typical league the game would be shorter. I think that idea is silly. The idea of the games being shorter without a league only make sense if GF don’t put in something to replace it. Which they clearly have lol Anyway I can’t wait for November!!!
I know, I’m really excited! I think the Trial Captains could all turn out to be nice characters. I’m most excited for the Water (?) girl. But I don’t think the game will be shorter without a league. The islands are still pretty large and we’ll get to explore it all!
I think her name is Lana.
You are right.
Lana, Lana, LANNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Mallow, Lana, Sophocles and Kiawe
I like all those names except Mallow
It’s a type of plant.
I like it.
It just doesn’t really sound like a name to me. And all I think of is marshmallow, which fits too because she’s a chef
Actually, the two are related.
“A marshmallow is a sugar-based confection that, in its modern form, typically consists of sugar, water and gelatin whipped to a spongy consistency, molded into small cylindrical pieces, and coated with corn starch. Some marshmallow recipes call for eggs. This confection is the modern version of a medicinal confection made from Althaea officinalis, the marshmallow plant”
“Althaea officinalis (marsh-mallow,[1] marsh mallow, or common marshmallow) is a perennial species indigenous to Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, which is used as a medicinal plant and ornamental plant. A confection made from the root since ancient Egyptian time evolved into today’s marshmallow treat”
O that’s actually pretty cool!
Gamefreak know what they’re doing, I swear 😛
Interestingly the “Malva” plant is also sometimes called “Mallow”.
And Mallow is a real surname.
Conspiracy!
On thing from the guy who faked stuff for leak a while back was right with one thing this will be a longer more fun game!
I’m just glad we’re getting something different. Yes the Gym Leader & E4 is a tried and tested method, and it works to some extent, but sometimes you gotta put yourself out there, take chances.
Yeah it’s good for the brand to branch out a little bit.
My god, people really are idiots:
http://kotaku.com/pokemon-sun-and-moon-producer-bombarded-with-pokemon-go-1785290323#
Yes, they really are.
im not even surprised
This is precisely my point about Pokemon Go’s player base.
Loads of people who really don’t know the ins and outs of Pokemon.
pretty much
I want actual favorites. This isn’t a freakin’ ‘Who would you want to [( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)] the most contest’… geez
And you’re making assumptions that people aren’t voting for their favourites beacause…. ?
This is obviously based on “Oooh, she’s a guuuurrlll, she haaawwwt… she my favorite” I want people to actually look into the gym leaders, look at their beliefs, dreams, how much you relate to them, not just because they have da booty
I noticed that from the Gen 1 poll where everyone was ogling over Sabrina, and it was pretty apparent in the Gen 5 one with Elesa and Skyla.
It is most noticeable in 1, 3, and 5 gen.
How exactly?
There have been people in the comment advocating Wulfric for Pete’s sake.
Aside from which there’s a 50/50 chance of someone picking a female because 4 of the 8 leaders are female.
And
frankly nobody’s going to pick the old man, and the rock climber has
probably been forgotten, meaning Wolfric and Clemont are the only real
male contenders.
If you looked you’d see there have been a lot of people advocating Wolfric.
Yea, I support Wulfric. But when you see the shallow, skin-deep females win by a landslide, yeah, it gets old
So basically this is because people aren’t voting what you want them to vote for?
I voted Valerie because her gym is a cool tree/mansion combo and her underlings are snappy dressers.
I didn’t vote Wulfric because his team contains an Avalugg and he doesn’t have much going for him beyond a cool beard.
As for Clemont, his robo arm contraption is just plain weird.
Korrina was meh, but gets voted for a lot because she’s the only one with a major role outside her gym.
Olympia had a neat cape and purple hair.
Viola was also pretty forgettable.
^ pretty much my thoughts on them all, more or less
Elesa and Claire aren’t shallow characters though.
Elesa is debatable, Claire isn’t
Elesa provides some solid advice within the context of the game. She may be a model, but I think she’s a solid gym leader. Sabrina has almost nothing going for her within the games on the other hand.
Didn’t Elesa try to get involved with Bianca’s daddy issues? Not cool random stranger
Im joking btw
Lol yeah she did. She helped stop her dad from dragging her back home. Now that I think about it, Sabrina was lame in the show too. In the manga she was evil. -cough- Misty was cheated -cough-
Claire inst shallow
Look bud, you cant honestly believe that many peoplee liked characters lik skyla and flannery based solely off their character
Thank you
Skyla no, Flannery plausible.
It’s not so much about the votes themselves. It’s the comments that people leave to justify their choice.
Comments like ‘Sabrina, she’s hot’ e.t.c. Fair enough if that’s how you choose your favourites, I can’t really say much.
I can’t even find comments about the votes anymore, people went overboard discussing mega evolutions. I found one comment about clemont, but other than that it’s all too deep.
I haven’t looked at the other threads, I’m basing my assumptions on what I saw here earlier in the day.
I was lucky enough to get on the Gen 1 and the Gen 5 thread early and saw a lot of comments like that on those…not gonna scroll through all of them to prove a point though :p. It’s just what I noticed.
Personally, I usually leave a few lines, to a paragraph just giving a quick explanation for my choice.
That’s because a lot people here have daddy fantasies about Wulfric. Ugh.
Only one or two.
The same ones who semi regularly post Yaoi and discuss Guzma’s theoretical illicit relationship with Kukui.
I saw a couple more than 2, and I imagine there are also some other people who don’t comment here that voted because of that. There’s really no other way Wulfric would be so high.
Personally Wulfric was my favourite of the males and if Valerie hadn’t had such a cool gym it would have been between Wulfric and Olympia (Beard vs Cape).
If I had to vote male, I might’ve gone with Grant. His gym was awesome.
Eh, I found him to be really forgetttable. His gym was like a one stop shop – go in, come out 5-10 minutes later with a new badge.
I can’t even remember any of his pokemon.
The new fossils
Well yeah, he himself was. But it was a nice display of the new 3D and the waterfall was pretty.
There was a waterfall?
Ok, I give up, I’ll go look up what his gym was like 😛
Yeah I voted Blaine, Pryce, Wattson, Crasher Wake, Drayden and Wulfric. There’s no correlation there…
:I
I don’t see how that has anything to do with this poll, I don’t think people are voting Valerie to the top for that reason, but because she is their favourite and my favourite, she’s also gorgeous and deserves to win for many reason 😛
This was more about Elesa
oh, tbh I didn’t vote for her, but after I voted regretted it because she was the most elegant and beautiful, I hope people don’t feel that way about cartoon characters tbh 😛 thats a little strange
Yea, I can’t even search up any female trainer from Pokemon on Google images without… um… that stuff
The equivalent for men is there too, you just haven’t noticed it much.
Seriously, yaoi fans are at least as obsessive, if not more so.
they get into less weird things though, like idk why I see so many like 1000 pound about to explode female cartoon characters when I’m just casually scrolling deviantart
Deviantart has masssive fetish communities. No pun intended.
Besides, yaoi fans are into washboard abs muscle stuff and skinny dudes, which most people don’t consider weird despite still being a fetish purely because society tells us muscular bodies are something to strive for so it mostly passes as normal, even in the few cases where it’s steroids level exaggerated.
I looked up Brendan, nothing extremely weird til really down. Then May, first line has her posing in a bikini, then farther down with boobs the size of freakin Jupiter, really
That’s a bad example, nobody likes Brendan. Look up Wolfric or Kukui.
….exsqueeze me! Brendan is the best! (and lucas)
In a sexualised way or in a “they’re kinda cool characters” way?
I don’t even really sexualize real people, but I mean like they are cute, so like, somewhere in between I guess?
There’s cute and then there’s two men with their shirts off rubbing each other.
whatever floats their boats
Exactly, my point is that you’re not exactly the type to be drawing the men with shirts off rubbing each other, but many are and they are out there 😛
And they probably don’t like Brendan as much XD
But Brendan and May are both the protagonists of ORAS/RSE. So if I do Wulfric, I have to do Korrina or Valerie to compare, and If I do Kukui I have to do Juniper. I’m doing fair examples here.
That’s not how it works.
People’s sexual fantasies are not limited to the character’s roles within the game.
Brendan and Lucas I actually though were adorable as a kid tbh, I wanted them to have their own anime series and I think I actually wrote a story once that shipped Lucas x Barry and had them become members of team rocket… I was a weird kid
What is Yaoi exactly?
Men on men action in manga form.
It’s deeply loved by girls, gay men and transexuals alike.
Most of the Internet demographic
The ones that aren’t sexualising the female characters at least.
Except maybe the transexuals, they can generally go either way.
you should really stop using an offensive term :/
I don’t mean to be that guy, but if you mean transgender then I would switch it to that
Ugh you’re one of “Those” PCs
Everything is offensive nowadays
hey I don’t make the rules, and “ugh you’re one of those not going to respect anyone type of people”
tbh transexual has been offensive since like the 80’s, any term that was used to put an entire group of people down and belittle them and bully them usually turns out that way…
I don’t respect people naturally, but not out or spite or racism
Only a select few are in my good graces
While I don’t 100% agree with this, I do believe respect is something one can both earn and loose.
I’ll have you know my aunt was very Politically correct, you racist, sexist, bully!
joking
How the hell is that considered offensive? It means ‘people that either have changed or are in the process of changing their physical sex’.
I admit I missed out transgenders and went straight to the far end of the spectrum, but still.
Besides, it’s not like we got taught any of this in school, you’ve got to be accepting of people slipping up/making mistakes when most of the population know next to nothing about all the intricate terminology involved. Expecting people to know all about the complexities of transgers is like me expecting everyone to know binary or who Larry Wall and Bjarne Stroustrup are.
I wasn’t getting mad at you simply stating it not really an ok word, and never really has been, a small group tried to reclaim it back in the day but its pretty much always been offensive, and not a term used by anyone in a good way, same with “tranny” I accept that not everyone is aware of that, I’m just trying to let you know, we never know who comes on here and Id like for everyone to feel safe and welcome, I’m not blaming you or trying to start a fight, just letting you know
Well, I’ve never met anyone who had an issue with it before, and yes I do actually know a transgender/transexual (I’m not sure how far he went since the majority of his changes were after I left his life), they never indicated any issue with it.
One of the main reasons it’s so prominent is because of Frank N Furter from the Rocky Horror Show. Specifically the line “transexual transylvania” from one of the songs. (I don’t know which, I’ve never watched it, I just know the plot and a reasonable amount about the cultural impact. It was written by the guy who used to present the crysal maze).
You will always get some people who are ok with things and some who aren’t. For example, in college there was a black guy in our class who not only had no issue with the N word, he practically encouraged us to use it and said “It’s only offensive if people intend it to be. If it’s just used casually it’s fine.”
Personally I think the less people take offense at words, the harder it becomes to be offensive and the easier it becomes to be neutral or beneficial.
my 2 cents are that some people are always gonna be offended by things, and its good to try and minimize the potentially offensive thngs you say
But that means never ever swearing or using insults in case people take offence.
To be honest the best solution is to just be grown up about the matter and if someone says something that someone actually takes to be offensive (not ‘might be’ offensive) then merely tell the person that was taken as offensive to give said person a chance to apologise and inquire as to why it was taken offensively.
For example if someone makes a joke that was taken to be disrespectful it and they are given a chance to speak rather than just being branded as hateful, often it turns out to just be a misjudgement of the situation and the level of informality rather than intentional disrespect.
Frankly if something is taken as offensive when it wasn’t intended to be there’s usually a miscommunication at the bottom of it. If something is intended to be offensive, it’s usually quite obvious and much rarer.
that would wrk, but in this internet culture the second anyone says they’re offended by something, everyone goes “lmao look at this offended sjw #triggered” because of some extremistd who are offended by evrything. theres a lack of sensibility on both sides of the issue
honestly this is so true, there are a lot of people out there (that frankly I feel just want attention) that cry wolf over the smallest things and go nuts over things, and its created an environment that is ruined for people who have a legitimate claim.
There are problems on both sides, but we can strive to become better I think, its not impossible.
Hence I usually stay out of it.
I think next time I won’t even bother mentioning transgender/transexuals/whatever, I’ll just pretend they don’t exist.
Frankly I think trying to say the right thing and getting it wrong is better than not caring at all, but I dunno. I give up, I’m going to just ignore the whole issue from now on, the discussions never end well.
Frankly though, everything on the internet should be taken with a pinch of salt.
If people are actively insulting you, the adult thing to do is to simply block them.
well yes for different people, things are different but just because of that one black friend, you wouldn’t go up to another one of your black friends and do the same thing. I have been working with both LGBT youth and adults for a long time, while leading the GSA at both my high school, university and other groups. Several of my friends are trans, none of them are or would be ok with being referred to as transexual, as it was used to define a mental disorder that could be cured at one point back in the day, and the whole route of the word is entirely wrong for what it is supposed to describe because it has nothing to do with their sexuality, and the rocky horror picture show is and old film and hardly something I would look to for insight on the matter. Yes there are a lot of words out there that are offensive, some in varying degrees, but you should never use them if you know that you’re going to hurt someone around you or make them feel unwelcome, especially if they are youth because you never know what that person is going through, your use of a term that makes them feel alienated could be the breaking point that sends them to suicide. We should as people always strive to do our best to be kind to one another despite our differences, and avoid derogatory terms, just because you may not see the harm in it, it can still do more damage to someone then you may ever know. You cant tell people to take less offense to something because it really doesn’t work like that, for every 1 person that is easily offended by such things, there are 4 people who stay quiet and get hurt by it.
I started writing a response, but soon realised whatever I say won’t change anything and this argument would spiral out of control, so instead of a direct response, I’m going to attempt to end this in a mutually acceptable way.
My world view is different from yours, neither of us are going to change our views.
I’m sorry to say I have a very dismal view of the world and I’m quite apathetic. I wasn’t always that way, but life experiences have made me that way.
I have nothing against transgender people, but I prefer to stay out of these matters because the waters are so muddy and it gets complicated fast, and always ends in arguments, never mutual compromise.
Frankly you will probably never get me to understand why people take offence at certain words because most words considered typically offensive do not offend me as a result of my teenage years.
Back in the playground I grew up in, if people got upset at being insulted with swear words they wouldn’t last long. Eventually pretty much everyone learned to disregard all the stereotypically most offensive insults. Ultimately insults are just insults, they can’t bring you physical pain.
Lastly, there’s no need to tell me about suicide or depression. It’s the biggest killer of young males, more than diseases, more than murder, more than accidents. I’m quite familiar with them.
As for striving to do one’s best to be kind, that’s nice in theory, but the reality is that it only works if everyone takes the same stance. There are a great many people out there who very much intend to cause harm. Letting their insults have meaning only makes them stronger. Ignore the offense and eventually they give up because what they’re saying doesn’t offend.
Much like how using swears only have a shock factor because they’re considered things you’re not supposed to say. If you’re with a group that use them regularly, they’re no longer shocking, they’re just minor adjectives used for emphasis.
I’m sorry if any of that seems cold or harsh, but I’d rather be honest. Ultimately this wouldn’t go anywhere and frankly I think this is a lot of fuss over what is just a word. As I said to kirakinn, next time I simply won’t include them at all, it’s easier than having to deal with all this guff for using the wrong word.
right, I forgot
None of the unova gym leaders are really a wrong choice though. Except maybe the trio brothers.
I liked Cilan though, he was adorable (in a non-sexual way thank you very much! lol) he had a really nice personality in the anime, but I wouldn’t pick him because the other two were horrible designed imo (awful hair)
Still better than Brycen.
ugh….. brycen…. no thank you
Then why you post on this one and not the poll where elesa was a candidate?
Because it shows the winner here
Still, it’s a bit in the past, we’ve moved on to gen 6 😛
Let me get this straight, Marlon came second and the vote was still rigged by people voting for the sexiest female characters? If that’s the case, why is Marlon second and not Skyla or Roxie?
(To be honest, Elesa would have been my second choice, she had an entire theme park to herself)
eh, I think I had enough drama for today
I’m just stating the facts and making reasonable propsitions based upon them.
So I wonder who’ll join that Knucklehead Ash in Alola
Obviously Mallow is semi-confirmed but what of another? I don’t know if they’ll break up the demographic by also putting in the Sun and Moon Female Protagonist but who knows at this point, I would also say Hau but I don’t know he seems too much like Ash to begin with but who knows maybe they’ll invent a traveling partner for the group
Brock is coming back
You heard it here first folks.
I would absolutely love if that happened. He is probably my favorite of Ash’s companions.
May was the best. Then Brock.
Actually I said it before, but it was still here.
We can only dream.
Yeeeeeeessssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I know that others have probably asked this question a lot. But when does the Pokemon anime show this week?
Tursday
Sorry I meant what time.
Leven
Question: Can you breed Sounds and Illumise?
Spinda
Serebii and/or Bulbapedia will have that information.
I checked and they’re on the same egg group but I’ve been running around like a maniac and it still says they don’t like each other
They don’t like each is normal. It’s because they are different species. They will still produce an egg but it will take time.
If it says ‘they prefer to play with other pokemon’, then they won’t produce an egg.
Oh ok thanks
Yes, both in Human-like gg group
They don’t wanna
Nevermind. They wanted to.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) even though they didn’t like eachother
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) but they did liek something
The rule is:
Like = High chance
Dislike = Fair chance
Play with other pokemon = No chance
Why illumes? didn’t you want dizzy punch on ledian? So it would be Spinda+Volbeat -> Volbeat+Ledian
You can’t get a female Volbeat
Illumumes doesnt get dizzy punch, there must be a different way to get dizzy puinch on ledian
OOOHHH Illues give birth to vobeat
Yep
No. Spinda+Illumise –> Hatched Volbeat –> Volbeat+Ledian
Illumise can hatch a volbeat?
It’s the only way.
Other than Ditto
I didn’t even know that could happen. I guess it makes sense.
Ok, start from the begining, what is the goal of this breeding?
Dizzy punch ledian
Well. They did breed. But to get Dizzy Punch Volbeat and ultimately Dizzy Punch Ledyba
Ok, that makes more sense.
You’re mostly going right with Spinda/Buneary + Illumise -> Volbeat
Volbeat + Ledyba -> Ledyba
Make sure you know the move inheritance priorities though so you don’t get duds.
Yeah. They know Dizzy Punch
I mean make sure there aren’t any moves that are going to clash and take higher precedence for inheritance.
None! Kalos gym leaders are absolutely the worst
Almost all but Ramos and Clemont
Pokemon Go players after they get Sun and Moon:
Hey! Where is the gyms!?
Oh, I EV train all the time, just look at my Vaporeon (It’s like the best Eeveelution)
Wow! 4 moves!? And I can spam Hydro Pump instead of Water Gun on Vaporeon!
IV breeding? Wow, I didn’t know there was another type of Eevee.
Where is Team Mystic? Man, I wish those were in here!
LOL TAPU KOKO IS TEAM INSTINCT N00B!
This is boring
WHY IS HYDRO PUMP MISSING ALL THE TIME!
I never understood the whole “my team is better than your team thing” like, what criteria do they have to base any of that one other than the colour and legendary? (yellow is my fav colour but I’m not gunna be omg the people with a different colour preference than me are inferior) maybe I’m missing a key point here 😛
I’m team instinct, Zapdos>4xRock Weakness skrubs
I picked instinct, come to think of it so did all my friends except one, my whole town is like yellow (last time I checked, I stopped playing the game tbh like 2 weeks ago)
I liked the Hot and Cold 3 step thing, I could still use it without the steps working, it had a thing when you spin around in place with a pokemon selected, it blinks green when you are facing it
that was a myth, it blinked green when the pokemon data around you was updated
Instinct Alright my clan
Mega Roserade
Grass/Poison
Ability – Pierce: Changes all special attacks to physical attacks
Um, Roserade is a Special Attacker, why would it want Energy Ball to be physical? Or is this like a Psyshock thing, where it uses the opponents defense instead of special defense
You do realise its wielding a rapier?
cool 🙂
Mega Girafarig
Normal/Dark
Ability – Savage: Doubles Girafarig’s power when the opponent has less than 50% HP remaining.
Skill Swap with a Super Fang user ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Mega Dragonite Y
Dragon/Steel
Ability – Paladin Armor: Defense increases by 1.5 when hit by a physical move.
…so stamina
Like Mudsdale rite
No reason to make it steel
Multiscale is Better
Mega Earthen
Ground/Anti-fairy
Ability -NEWS: Tells the oposing Pokemon that it’s gonna be a long week without news. (Lowers all Opposing Pokemons’ stats by 12 stages and OHKO’s fairies on switch-in)
He should be Ground/Dragon so Fairies murder him.
Like this
Refresh
Creepy
I know
Any Beartic fans?
Sadly it’s one of my least favourite pokemon. Sorry :C
I’d like it more if it weren’t for the icicle beard.
Wow, I’ll have you know my aunt had an icicle beard. I am offended and triggered
Icicle beard go!

…
Gross…
I like Beartic
Mega Beartic
Ice/Fighting
Ability – Refrigerate: turns all Normal type moves into Ice type moves and also boosts them up
Netflix now has the first 6 Star Wars movies, so I guess its binge time. Bye! 🙂
I don’t see it there (in the US). I have all the films on Bluray anyway so I don’t really care that much 😛
Oh come on! They couldn’t have added them when I was marathoning before the Force Awakens. (Thanks anyway. I’ll rewatch them a fifth time )
Heh, remember my Minions DvD case that had the Star Wars discs in it…. hehe
are they the garbage ones tampered by George lucas or the originals?
Trash
Ayo new article
Jump ship
No none that will appear for me at least
what new article .-.?
He lied there us none
Typo is none
Earthen doesn’t lie,
Unless I’m betraying somebody, misleading people, luring others into a false sense of security
But there is a new Article
http://pokejungle.net/2016/08/16/sun-moon-live-stream-gamescom/
Ok thank you!
It doesn’t appear on the homepage
Hmm this needs Dark type
More Mega’s not mentioned
This too
Golduck seriously needs to become Water/Psychic if it gets a Mega. Would make zero sense if it doesn’t.
One way I can say it shouldn’t cause it would give off more weaknesses
Or even an Alola form as such.
Was this for real a leak?!
This was a mega evolution leak that came out in 2013. Its fake 😛
That person and I had one thing in common Celebi as a Mega!
If only this was true. Mega Sudowudo, mega wobbufet, mega Zangoose, mega Tropius, mega drifblim, the list goes on.
Wow, 3 minutes into Lockstin’s pokemon theory part 2 and my mind is already blown
Is this the second part? IS IT OUT!?
YEAH
YAAAY ALCHEMY
If this isn’t true, I think it’s the biggest coincidence I’ve ever seen.
Link
Valerie’s bolded in the results, does it mean I voted for Valerie (because I didn’t) or is it because she’s the winner?
No, sometimes it will just embolden random choices in the poll.
I need a Unicorn pokemon this gen , and no rapidash doesn’t count.
Fairy/Normal Type Unicorn
I already have one
Equestine Fairy/Normal
Then based at time you trade it to evolve
Mythicor Fairy/Psychic Night (8pm-3:59am)
Or
Majegasus Fairy/Flying Morning (4am-9:59am)
Which trailer was this one revealed in?
A trailer for season 6
The only reason I remember their names is because the anime Gave most of them a personality. In game they’re all shit.
Since this is games, not anime. I’ll vote for korrina since she’s the least terrible
I don’t know if everyone has heard about this, but the writers of Guardians of the Galaxy (Nicole Perlman) and Gravity Falls (Alex Hirsch) negotiated to write the plot of the Detective Pikachu Movie. Also, I’m looking forward to the gameplay tomorrow at 11:00AM EST. It’s going to be on Nintendo of Germany’s Twitch, be sure to tune in!
Now I’m interested. This actually could be slightly entertaining.
THAT would make it worth watching!
ALEX HIRSCH?! WUT! That’s it I’m all for this movie. Gravity falls and Alex is the best thing to happen to tv in a long time so I hope that they will bring something awesome to the film…
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!? I know I love Gravity Falls but C’MON! Guardians of the Galaxy was a masterpiece! I cannot wait for this film!
4pm at UTC+00:00 for us non-Americans who know how UTC works
ALEX HIRSH!!! 😀
Finally doing a Nuzlocke after months of saying I wanted to do one. Doing Leaf Green on an emulator (as I don’t like nicknaming my Pokemon in physical copies
Currently at Misty’s with Smaug (Charmeleon), Boudica (Nidorina), Rainbow (Butterfree), Bella (Bellsprout) and Mystica (Kadabra)
In the graveyard are Jerry (Rattata), Cpt Jack (Spearow) & Harambe (Mankey)
I’m finding this actually pretty fun!
Single-vote polls are still bad. >:-(
