  5. Reason to vote for Sabrina:

    “As her power increased, she grew more obsessed with developing it. She became less and less emotional, using her abilities for destructive purposes, even transforming her mother into a doll. This caused a deep psychological rift. The emotions she tried to shut off developed into a separate personality- a young girl who manifested as a puppet around Sabrina. Sabrina’s mind was divided into the cold, callous woman with a thirst for power and the little girl who just wanted to have fun.”

  6. The only choice here is between Wallace and Volkner.

    Since Volkner was the only one of the ones I picked that won, guess I better go with him.

    My personal Favourite all time are Tate and Liza, followed closely by Morty.

  7. Going to have to pick from my bae’s Sabrina and Elesa, I’ll go with Elesa.
    Anyways, here’s something extremely interesting. Nintendo actual considered a Fire Emblem and Pokemon crossover before a Fire Emblem and SMT crossover.. Potentially, we could have had Intelligent Systems make a game similar to Pokemon Conquest, but superior. I really hope the gets re-opened. The concept is already awesome!

  13. i bet in day 2 of the Pokemon world championship i like to see 1 in the following:

  15. 4 girls and sissy guy really? how can I choose of these ?……….I could choose old Sabrina style Clair them not bad though I like her city,gym and Dragon’s Den , Volkner is just good in anime.

    Reply

    • She’s just such a cool character! She subverts the stupid sexy model trope by being actually really intelligent and caring. She helps Bianca get permission to go on a journey, she uses some awesome pokemon, both versions of her gym are awesome and memorable. All while having one of the simultaneously most coolest and sexiest designs

  23. I didn’t know how I attacked ppl here when I call Wallace sissy and he is truly is …….y ppl r so edgy while u talking about something related to them …..I don’t mind if u r sissy or gay that’s ur choice but if u think that’s the right choice y u consider ppl attacking u ………….just stop living fucking drama.

    when I say this ” 4 girls and sissy guy really? how can I choose of these ?” wat I exactly mean I love strong and bad ass characters and I can’t choose any of those this just my opinion.

    I read “sissy” word many time there did this really count rude …..wat should I say soft guy or girly guy ….that’s if the problem with my words but I think the problem in ur mind.

    ur Protector Shady.

  28. I like how Wallace’s vote score just like shot up recently, I honestly wish you could rematch the gym leaders in ORAS (and wally) just so I could fight them all again, I think the best thing about BW2 was fighting gym leaders and notable trainers from all the other regions, I hope that returns in SM

  31. Losing in the battle frontier after a long winning streak is a feeling of loss that pokemon games are missing out on. Wow.

    I got really lucky with RNG in the battle hall hanging on with 2HP numerous times and getting flinches and critical hits when one more turn would’ve meant losing. Wow I can see why people love the BF. We NEED this to return.

    Reply

    • Don’t remind me. All that grinding gone to waste. It feels bad, but at the same time, it makes you want to keep doing it, until you get there. Nothing else in the Pokemon games has made me feel that way.

      Which Battle Frontier are you playing by the way?

      Reply

        • Ah fair enough. I never played the HGSS one that much. I only played Emeralds. I had to actually EV train to get far, cos it gets challenging really quick.

          Reply

          • I would love a clone of any frontier in SM. A new one would be great as well, but don’t just give us another maison.

          • Especially since EV training is so much more enjoyable in the newer games! The Battle Frontier has quickly become one of the features I really hope returns

          • Not only did it have variety and difficulty, but I liked how big and well designed it was. It really felt like a place I’d want to be, so I hope we don’t get another one building battle area like in the last two gens.

          • Surprisingly yes! Mine’s moveset is Return, Iron Tail, Shadow Claw and Sucker Punch. He has a bit of a hard time with fighting types and more defensive mons, but he is still pretty valuable to the team

          • Easily done, I love Voltorb flip. Every time I play through the game, I grind to get a dratini, when I often don’t even use it, I just like playing Voltorb flop.

    • We need either the difficulty of the frontier, or the variety of the frontier, or both. The maison was generic and easy, no real challenge to me. If the story is easier for the kids, at least make a good difficult post game, it’s not like most of the kids they’re targeting will play it anyway.

      Reply

      • Post Game definitely needs some kind of challenge. Something that people keep going back to until they complete it. It would add an interesting dynamic. Especially with how easy connectivity is these days, you can do it with other people to increase the fun and the challenge.

  33. Yay Valerie won 😀
    Out of all of them, though, I’d have to go with Volkner. While I do love Sabrina, Elesa, and Valerie, Volkner just speaks to me that the others don’t. :3
    Oh, and as for the new Pokemon released, I am okay with Tortunator (it has some good things going with it) and I like Crabrawler :3
    Oh, and seeing the CoroCoro mons in the game made me like them a bit more, especially Stufful.

    Reply

  34. Do you like Elesa’s BW design or BW2 design better? I prefer the original BW model because I think it better suited her (for no particular reason).

        • …Grass? When has anyone been seriously hurt by a blade of grass? Ice can be buffed pretty easily. Give it more resistances and make it strong against fighting and fairy. Make less defense centered pokemon and give megas to bulky ice types to make them more attacking

          Reply

          • Still Plant whips and razor edged leaves would work and energy beams would still strike the ice just fine
            Face it Ice isn’t getting buffed anytime soon

          • I’d agree except with making it strong against fighting. It makes sense fighting would be good against it. I would make it strong against something else, like steel.

    • it makes sense to me, fighting types are inhumanly strong not just average strength thats what makes them fighting and while yeah ice can hurt average people but it can still be shattered if hit in the right place with the right amount of force

      Reply

    • If not the Ice Type itself, at least buff Hail

      Defence boost to Ice Types (Similar to SpD boost to Rock Types in Sandstorm)
      Speed Boosting ability (literally all the other weathers have one)
      Always double Avalanches Power in Hail
      Icy Wind should lower speed by 2 stages in Hail

      Come on, at least do something

      Reply

      • fighting is seen as a hero and dark evil, and good always triumphs over evil (except in the real world, we’re pretty much screwed there)

        Reply

          • LOL at fighting being OP, quite the opposite id say, I have never once had a problem with a fighting type, even before fairy was introduced the only one that could be considered such was Scrafty

          • Fighting is indeed a Powerful Type. It’s hits Rock and Steel Types which are Primarily defensive. It’s also the only thing that hits the Bulky Normal Types like Chansey, Miltank e.t.c. And it always you to easily dispatch of the frail Ice Types which are strong offensively.

            Fairy has given it a nerf though, especially cos some of the things it used to like hitting (Normal Types) have been retconned to Fairy Type (Clefable and Granbull for example)

          • I guess I just never saw it even remotely as a threat (sometimes normal types would give me more trouble) so I never really thought other people did either

      • Okay, I guess rock can smash ice, maybe, but steel? Plus ice breaks down rocks, and in certain situations, freezing ice can break stuff made of steel, like pipes.
        I dunno, it just is less believable than fire and fighting.

        Reply

        • Water seeps into pores in rocks. When the temperature drops, this freezes, thereby expanding and breaking the rock. This is a natural phenomenon.

          I think Ice should be super effective against Rock

          Reply

          • Yeah, I agree too, and maybe add steel too. Like I said above, ice can also break steel/metal. I provided the pipes thing, but the Titanic was brought down by an iceberg.
            It’s not a perfect explanation, but it’s better than steel and rock beating ice, imo.

          • With Steel it’s more difficult. It’s dependant upon the composition. And you need very low temperates to even come close to weakening Steel. Plus it’s not just the freezing itself, you still need to apply an external force to shatter it, even after frozen.

            And steel tools are used to dig through Ice relatively easily. So I can give them that one.

          • Dude the iceberg theory is bullshit, it is the equivalent of a gigantic jagged rock scraping the metal hull

          • It’s still ice, all ice even. An iceberg is deadly and it is just as hard as steel if hit right, which is what happened.
            And it’s not even a theory, that’s legit what happened to the Titanic.

          • That only works when it’s still water it’s either cold wind, beams of cold energy, or large chunks of ice being hacked at the opponent that is literally all ice attacks in a nutshell

        • It’s a solid hunk of metal it most certainly smash ice
          Like a sledgehammer or a icepick
          And the whole ice breaking stone and metal is only through long term freezing and melting and refreezing eroding it bit by bit and expanding until the point of fracture or bursting
          Bitch we don’t have time or any move that acts like time

          Reply

          • But it still can break, regardless of time. I don’t think it would be too much of an issue to make ice SE against rock and steel, as it still makes sense.
            I’m not too adamant about it, so I really don’t care to argue about this extensively.

          • Well I am so either agree with me now or I’ll compiled the facts until you have no choice but to agree

            So Ice Shard or Ice Beam will just shatter an Aggron’s body
            Is ice beam going to melt through the possible pores in a rock type’s solid body and just crack it
            Because all those claims require additional moves, ice moves wouldn’t just blatantly cause metal or stone to break

          • How about neither? There is such as thing as agree to disagree.
            And no it wouldn’t, cause videos games are not too realistic. You can suspend your disbelief about things, you know.
            Whatever though, keep doing you Earthen.

          • Nope it’s either I’m right your or your right there is no middle ground
            And my case is much stronger

          • There’s no right and wrong to everything Earthen, and this is just a video game discussion, no one needs to be wrong here.
            And at the end of the day, GF can do whatever the hell it wants to do, regardless of whose right or wrong.
            Just agree to disagree and move on.

          • Just not how the world works
            Gamefreak knows how these types work and every one of them makes sense

          • Actually the world is more grey, than black and white Earthen. There are some scenarios in this world that no one person is right on. And, yes, in discussions such as these, no one is truly wrong.
            Not really, there are some type matchups that don’t make sense when you think about them. I always though Ground would resist fire since you use earth to put out a fire (hence why fire is weak to it), but it doesn’t, and that’s just one example.

  38. I gotta go back to stupid fart faced work
    I think this whole gym leader polls is yet another “Who’d you want to sleep with contest”

  39. Urrrrrrrrrrrgh I had enough my mind is blowing up …..I can’t handle this ..all these comments cuz I just said Wallace is sassy ??of course no body cares about 4 girls.

    I have been here for 3 years I share theories drawing concept and others as well but nobody pay attention to this like they did in this one …..where is ur justice when ppl call me high when defend Hoopa unbounded …..ppl tun my comment into racism I know y cuz they r trying to act like a victim, many ppl here attack many pkmn character I love but I don’t attack them cuz that’s their opinion.

    And yeah as u call me I am offensive I admit this but my attitude depend I can be gentle and will very offensive if u attack me not cuz emotional but I am against the idea.

    The emotional is the reason y I hate humanz ……it’s not a personal issue is bigger than that and I am pretty sure I didn’t do anything wrong in the 1st place……هif the the majority of u r against that then I am welcoming to my banned and waiting it ….that’s better than said something I didn’t believe in.

    • Literally no one has said anything to you in hours, and you know you did not say that wallace is Sassy, sassy can be a good thing.

        • hey, Im not the one that keeps posting about this after everyone stopped caring.

          Yeah I get its probably a typo but sometimes people like to change their stories so it seems like they were never in the wrong, ya get me?

          Reply

          • I do get you, but why provoke it further. Is his story going to affect what happens to him. Are we here to pass judgement? Let him comment and don’t respond, why is that so hard?

          • perhaps because literally no one was talking about him or the incident and yet he’s still posting about it trying to make himself seem like a victim when it should have just been left where it was?

          • English is not my native language so I need time write ……and the only one who make himself seem like a victim is just u I don’t this I am strong ….ur the one who start this.

          • I didn’t start this, you did, but I’m ending it. So literally stop replying to me, you’re just making yourself look like a fool.

    • Well when you say something that comes off offensive, of course people are going to start turning heads. No one is attacking your favorite characters. Literally no one, What people are upset about is that you are mad that there are only “sissy” gym leaders to vote for. Me and others have tried to explain that strength doesn’t come from masculinity or manipulation and violence. It can come from anything about a person. Everyone is strong in different ways.

      I don’t want you banned. I don’t think anyone wants you banned. You just need to understand when you messed up, explain why you think that way then apologize. Alot of people belittle people’s feelings and laugh when they get offended but that stuff is actually important. Ignoring when people take offense to something only leads to resentment on both sides. I know that you don’t mean to make people feel badly but you need to understand where we are coming from.

      You can say you did nothing wrong but you need to know why you are being “accused”.

      Reply

    • I think it’s best to forget about it. You have different opinions about it than some here and I feel it was blown out of proportion partly due to the language barrier. Just be careful when you bring up discussion about femininity and masculinity here, a lot of people here are going through different situations and difficult times.

      Reply

    • I can’t speak for everyone, but I think most people were attacking your words, not you, so don’t take it too personally. We all have our opinions and we’re all entitled to them; however, because this is a community of people with varying backgrounds you must watch your words or someone may be offended. You’re always welcome, just as we all are, to voice your opinions, but you have to be able to accept that people will disagree and apologize if you’ve hurt someone.

  48. One thing I would like to know why does Dragon have some unanswered questions like why is it not strong against Dark and weak to fighting

    Dark being how many thieves and evil people would steal from dragon lairs and most likely meet at an untimely demise at the hands of Dragons

    Fighting for in many medieval stories Dragons stole treasures and were considered evil and a mighty hero would slay the Dragon and fighting is considered a heroic type like with Dark so it would make sense.

    Yet if you look into most Asian cultures Dragons are revered as mighty Guardians and such and are worshipped I think.

    So what do you think?

    Reply

    • I prefer that leak about Marshadow being a stunningly beautiful dolphin Pokemon with a really sparkly gem in its forehead. Just everything about that one sounded amazing, and I want it so badly to be real. 😀

      BUT If the silly theme really is alchemy then it will probably be a Chimera Pokemon.

Ok, it been several hours since a certain thing went down and a certain person is still harassing me with reply’s even though all I’ve said to him is to stop and to drop it since then, if someone could deal with it that would be great, I do not appreciate someone constantly calling me names and swearing at me… (at this point they have been blocked but it should still be dealt with, its not a very nice thing to do)

          I was just going to let it slide after a while but he just will not stop.

        • I am also aware that I may not have conducted myself as professionally as I would have liked at one point or another but I will not let someone continue to so blatantly talk down to people. And I apologize for the drama that has been had today over Wallace of all things.

          Reply

        • Hmmm. I see the discussion. For me, it’s easy, as long as you both be nice from now on, it’s OK. It’s a tough call to do anything on it now. The first one making some trouble again gets his/her comments deleted and risks a warning, which if repeated can result in a temporary suspension from using Disqus on PJN.

          It’s the fairest solution for all involved ;).

    • Get a new hobby or sport, you’ll have something to do and get to know new people to hang out with. There’s bound to be something interesting in the neighbourhood.

      • I mean, there’s bunch of things to see here (it’s Paris) but I’ve been here for 2 years and only have one really good friend + some other ones I don’t see often. And at uni everyone is younger than me and so immature (I redid one year so I could change unis) (they are basically for free here, not like in the us). I’m thinking about joining a club this year, gotta find a good one. I do stuff on my own sometimes (visited two museums today) but it gets boring

          • It’s a beautiful city + I love France. Probably settling down here if I get money lol. If you have any questions about visiting the city just ask me, I am a (unofficial) tour guide in my free time

        • I mean, you are in Paris, there’s lots of stuff to do! I’m pretty sure you can find a nice place to practice some hobby or so.

          Also, if you have some free days, just take the Eurostar to London or Brussels. In London there’s lots of stuff to do, and from Brussels you can easily take the train to Bruges, Ghent or Louvain (where I reside).

          Reply

          • I wish I had the money to go to London, only been there once in 2012. Everything’s more expensive there! I’m been to Brussels, Bruges and Anvers 🙂 Tu parles français du coup? I think it’s more about doing it with someone then alone all the time, but I’l really try to join clubs and go out more this year. Thanks!

    • I did live in India for a few years, but I’m a kid, so I have school.

      Look for a good roommate who likes the same things as you and you’ll have a good time. If that’s not an option, get a part time job/volunteer during your free time somewhere you love to go (You’re in Paris, so there’s a lot of great places there. Man. I wish I could go to Paris again. Last time I went, I was 6 so I don’t remember a lot and I hated walking by myself).

      Sorry… I’m not good at giving people suggestions 🙁
      (I hope I was SOME help at least)

    • Considering that it gets Iron Fist, I think it’s a safe bet that it would get a good amount of punching moves. I also think it will get Crabhammer.
      Other than that, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head for now.
      I like the fact that one of its eyes is squinted, sort of resembling a black eye in a way. Really subtle touch that makes the design work.

        • Similar to Rhyperior Warhog has its own Signature Attack in the form of an elemental hyper beam
          Piledriver
          Fighting
          150
          The user grabs the opponent and crashes them into the ground with tremendous force, the user must recharge afterwards

          Lets face the music Warhog is basically Zangeif with a Warthog mask and it pulls a Zangeif and does a fancy doom piledriver

          • No way, Mud Wrestling Pig is the absolute perfect Ground/Fighting type theme

            Besides I have a Normal/Fighting Kangaroo under the names Dojoey and Kickaroo

        • But it’s not a Ground/Fighting type
          I’m going to be extremely blunt, Ground/Fire types are the worst they’re just too damn weak to water and ground and we already have them in Camerupt and P. Groudon and only Groudon works because of Desolate Land
          Not even sunny day helps Camerupt because it’s too slow and frail, and unless it’s absolutely nearly flawless with its special defense and speed it will always succumb to water and ground

  71. So a poll option won despite a 74% supermajority voting against it. This is why single-vote polls are and always will be terrible. >:-(

    Multiple-vote poll please.

      • Valerie won despite only 26% of voters being in favor and 74% being against. Now imagine such a lopsided victory being applied to a real-life democracy with a policy or ballot over some important issue. The results would be disastrous.

        Here’s a summary:
        The first video explains how a single-vote poll is quite possibly the worst voting system in the world, because of how easily it lets a worse option win, how easily it can be rigged, how much it rewards liars, and how subtle all of these corrupt tricks are. This becomes all the more horrible because of how often history is literally decided by this system. The more people know about this, the better.

        The second video shows a very simple alternative that instantly fixes almost all the problems with the first system, and should always, always be used in its place.

        • I think of it this way: I won’t be able to experience the NX if I let summer go on forever. It will be very helpful to put my mind on something else before that is announced and amazing launch titles are shown.

          • Yeah, so do I. Don’t forget about SM :3 With school and marching band, it’ll be November before I even know it 🙂

          • Well that too of course, I just think about the NX as a huge part of Nintendo’s future. I’ve lived through ridicule for supporting the company through the Wii U era, and I want to see them come back on top…somehow.

  75. I don’t understand how any of these lame gym leaders one. These are like all my least favorites… They’re so bland.

  76. Happy Hour Meowth has been officially distributed! While the leak claiming that it would be also said that Gigareki was a Pokemon, that might mean the leak has some fakes thrown in it as well. The leak is too specific to correctly “guess” the Pokemon, its special move, and the Poke Ball it gets distributed in. Guess we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see Rainbow Greninja!

    • And this is why people do hacking. 🙁

      I want this Meowth so bad, but I will never get it. 😛
      I don’t see the damn point of putting the stupid code up in not every one can use it. >:( My game system says that I cant receive this gift. That’s complete and total bull crap.

      The only way that I would be happy is if the move can get transferred through breeding.

  78. Still slightly dissapointed from that episode on Thursday…
    Anyway, since I haven’t asked a question in awhile, what would be your own Pokemon team if you were a Pokemon Trainer?
    I would have:
    Infernape
    Tyrantrum
    Noivern
    Galvantula
    Samurott
    Talonflame

  79. You know what would make a really cool pokemon? The Decorator Crab. They take objects from their environment like plants, pebbles, and even sedentary sea creatures and STICK THEM ONTO THEIR BODIES. It’s a form of camouflage! Is that not sweet!? They could totally make some sort of gimmick along the lines of Furfrou or Spinda. Maybe it has different forms or you can decorate it yourself.

  81. Guys , as the last rumor or leak predicted , a meowth with happy hour is being distributed,however I still think that it’s false since anyone could get that kind of knowledge having a low post in TPC ,but still maybe some of it is true .sorry if that has already been reported , I was sick all day and didn’t get on the internet till now.

  84. I have an idea of a concept for a Pokemon.

    Basically, the Pokemon itself is based on and retains the appearance of an inanimate object. However, its backstory is that it knows that everyone hates Pokemon that resemble inanimate objects so it disguises itself as some badass looking animal in order to please everyone.

    Though, one question remains is: What object and which animal?

  88. I’m loving the art. We must embrace our memelord Alolan Exeggcutor. Anyways, I saw that the Happy Hour Meowth is actual true. Yet, events and DLC are usually on the server like a month before their release. It isn’t hard to do some detailed work in finding it. Without seeing that “Rainbow Greninja”, I’m already tossing it as fake.
    This doesn’t relate to Pokemon, but Dragon Quest XI is reconfirmed for the Nintendo NX. HYPE!
