X — EVAN
So honest thought that came up while marathoning the anime. Since we know that Mega’s have all but been confirmed to be returning at this point, I wonder if they’ll be taking a page from the anime and making Mega stones be displayed on the models ingane before being used. It would be a cleaver nerf as you would see instantly if the pokemon has a megastone or not, and honestly it doesn’t seem like it would require much work to add something small to existing models. Any thoughts on the idea?
I think it might be cool to see something like that, and I think it’s feasible. The only thing I’m wondering is if you’d be able to customize the devices that can hold the mega stone, or if they just make one model for each different pokemon.
I could see just having a single model for every pokemon, with Charazard and Mewtwo being the acceptations of course. Like it wouldn’t be hard to make a little wristband for Gengar, or maybe a little bow for Mawile.
But they are confirmed. Masuda said so on an episode of Pokenchi
I didn’t actually know that. I only knew about the 2017 mega merchandise thing. Thank you for sharing.
Yeah, a lot of people missed it since it was all Japanese. I’m hoping that GF will just show mega evolution being used so people will know
Out of original elite four, my least favorite is Bruno. The only reason is he never freaking used a Primeape!
Primeape was a beast back then so it’s his loss!!
I know! He easily could’ve replaced one of his onix with it
welcome to the #brunoisoverparty
Why isnt the new zelda game called Breath of the Wind?
Because its called Breath of the Wild
But why
Because I think the theme of the game is exploring the “wild.” I think the “Breath” they’re referring to is it meaning “life” rather an in/exhale. Breath of the Wind means something different.
Bruno, because i love the name.
Wait… If Ash-Greninja exists because of a special Bond, then why isn’t there Ash-Pikachu? I mean, It would be stupid but that would be the only one that makes sense.
I hoped that too but alas he doesn’t even get special Z-Move
Because they’ll never change Pikachu’s appearance. Not even temporarily. since it’s the series mascot it needs to stay constant.
Yet it still lost a lot of weight 🙂
Yeah, but the over all design won’t change. The only reason it lost weight and such was due to some inconsistencies with how it was being drawn back in the day. Now there’s a standard and they won’t stray too far from it.
Magikarp got a Z-Move
Magikarp’s Revenge is real!!!! Just kidding
Won’t they have to make an Alolan Pikachu?
not really, exxecute (mispell probably) evolves to an alolan exxegutator (misspell again)
*ExEGGcute
*ExEGGutor
let me live i never knew how to spell them in the firs place
I’m not trying to be THAT guy, I just put that there because I thought you may wanna knoqw
such a nice guy you are hearts.emoji
Well I’m hoping Alolan pokemon only evolve from their Alolan pre-evolutions that just makes a bit more sense to me.
Pichu is Pre-Evo 100% proven statement it gets none (E3 stream)
No that is incorrect cause if a base stage gets a Alolan forms it’s Evos should too yet an evolved Pokemon that shows it evolve in a sequence of the game shows it won’t but its evolution had a change also it’s shown in the official gameplay at E3 Pichu doesn’t get one which sparks that Pikachu won’t either (most likely also Eggsecute and Cubone won’t either)
Exeggcute sorry
No as Raichu keeps its electric typing. I would be willing to bet that the evolved Pokemon that keep their typing the same in some capacity don’t need to have their pre evos change. The only one that has me confused is Cubone, but until we have solid proof it’s hard to say.
Or are u saying they won’t change ash’s Pikachu?
Because its connected to Mega Evolution, thus the Pokemon still requires to be in its final evolutionary stage, unless it doesnt have an evolutionary line like Kanghaskan.
Because the writers are terrible.
Just got a lv100 Cradily via wonder trade. Not too shabby imo xd
Gotta love when that happens.
Any decent nature or evs
Sassy nature
Oooo so Sassy
Cool I got for a Zigzagoon a Shiny Totodile with Pokerus that was useable in Competitive

I tried on Safari. It worked after the 2nd reload of the page. Thanks
You’re welcome!
For whatever reason it has started to work for me again. Idk what changed, but I always thought it was due to my ad blocker

For all the people who can’t vote: Try voting on your phone. That always works for me.
Your Friend Safari allowed me to catch Snorunt, thanks! Glalie is my favourite Ice type!
>Implying Glalie is better than Froslass
Mega Glalie is…..something..
It looks like it should constantly screaming
“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
I love the top half of the design, but the dumb mouth and charcoal beard ruin it for me
I like its beard
Of course you do…. 😛
Icicle beard
I am beard
I’m a Glalie fan too! One of my favorite ice types, I just have mixed feelings about Mega Glalie
Did you get mine?
Yoooouuuu’re Welcome! 🙂
And if you don’t have a phone capable of using the internet?

Without a doubt
I did it….i did dang done doo’d it
i hit the level cap
Lance shouldn’t just won this …..but the whole tournament.
Bruno… Just because he’s bangable
Precisely
Why in the name of Arceus can Seismitoad and Kingler not learn waterfall?! I was researching Pokemon to use and I’m very surprised by this stupidity
well Seismitoad is bit of a puzzler but Waterfall needs a pokemon that can rush through a waterfall
maybe Seismitoad just too blubbery to do so but a Kingler would never climb a waterfall
If Seaking can climb a waterfall then Seismitoad should
Seaking invented the damn thing
and fish can swim up waterfalls
Well Poliwrath and Politoed can use waterfall.
Because Poliwrath has clearly defined muscles for swimming and if a Poliwhirl could swim through a waterfall then Politoed can do it better
But Seismitoad can learn bounce. Salmon jump up waterfalls. There are other species that can “swim” up waterfalls and they do so with the power of suction through their mouth to latch onto rocks. Also, Seismitoad is a strong swimmer. It’s all there. It doesn’t make sense, accept it.
It can learn bounce solely as a nod to frog’s jumping power
Seismitoad at its core is a amphibious Pokemon with powerful warts that vibrate at ultrahigh frequencies
And what proof do you have saying Seismitoad are strong swimmers
Like I said with swift swim.
It’s just the name of the ability
That’s hardly any proof,
Well all I’m saying is that although it may not be all that fast, if there’s a torrential downpour and you somehow have the ability to move more quickly because of it, you probably are a good swimmer.
What you said makes zero sense
It could just be using the moist environment to glide around
You know, it’s like midnight here and I’m shiny reseting, reading, typing this, and watching tv. But I think you’re just using top down processing to explain why it shouldn’t be able to use waterfall, when really it’s not a stretch to see why it should.
Crawdaunt can use Waterfall. So Kingler should
But Crawdaunt is streamline
Kingler can only sidestep
True
That’s bullshit reasoning and you know it…it’s not like they’re literally walking up the water.
Well it’s supposed to be a charging attack that has enough force to climb a waterfall
Kingler isn’t built for that kinda stuff and Seismitoad could be poor swimmers for all we know
You can’t be a poor swimmer and have the ability swift swim
Swimming has nothing to do with it
It’s all about speed increasing with rain
I’m tired of trying to justify these thing good night automaton! HARUMPH
Aw, you wished me a good night
I’ve decided a way to play through SS. I made a roulette of all the obtainable Pokemon in HGSS. Now I’m gonna spin it and see what I get. (Not including starters)
.0. That is awesome! I gotta do that for Platinum! How are you doing the roulette?
http://wheeldecide.com/
Click on the “Modify Wheel” button and you can type in what you want on there.
Nevermind, found this site
http://www.wyncorporation.com/pokemon/pokemon
I enjoy the roulette, but that’s only because I use that site a lot. I’m only including first forms btw. I get to evolve them.
Oh I just noticed that is the IHE wheel for the Search for the Worst
That’s actually pretty cool. Tell me what you get! I’ve decided to play through white 2, but since I don’t really want to use a starter I’m using riolu as my pseudo starter.
Anyone else have any unique challenge runs? I’m thinking of doing a wedlocke challenge but I wanna hear some other ideas
I had this sicko idea for doing a World of Warcraft Nuzlocke
See how long you can progress without dying because if you die you must delete the character and start over
You’re gonna use the random generator one right?
I’m considering it. Either that, a wedlocke or some other challenge. I’m definitely doing it on Platinum though
I have one I just finished on X, my own rules. Since the Kalos pokedex is split into three, I used only the first Pokemon from each pokedex (My starter and the first Pokemon I saw after getting my Dex upgraded). I plan on using one Pokemon from each island when SM rolls around.
I think I’m just going to do a Wedlocke 😛 Taking name suggestions for Character/Rival/Pokemon
Rival: Booty
Character: Jimjam
Pokemon: water: Drippy, Grass: Shrubby, Fire: Owww
Idk.
As naming themes? I suggest colors, mythology, or desserts. :3
If you do colors, Prism is a good name for the player. When I did colors for Black 2, I did Light for my player and Dark for rival
I’m doing a Y Wedlocke now (near the end of it), definitely fun and challenging. I heard Platinum is super challenging, and that’s just hearing from a Nuzlocke perspective, so good luck 🙂
I’ve tried two other nuzlockes before. This time I’m grinding like crazy before the first gym though so I don’t game over 30 minutes in
Yeah, that’ll definitely help. 🙂
Ever tried out doing Pokemon X and Y but with no Exp Share and no megas? It was actually very difficult for me.
Evolock:
-No evolving allowed, you must use form-1 pokemon only (with the exception of pokemon that have a child form, in which case their form-2 is permitted).
-No evolite.
-No pokemon who aren’t capable of evolving (e.g. Kangaskhan).
the only run I was able to do is mono type run. I have no patience to force restrictive rules on myself. ive done a mono
water: Leaf Green
Poison: Green
Bug: Emerald
Normal: Alpha Sapphire
My party for SS: (Chosen Randomly)
Chikorita
Murkrow
Slugma
Ledyba (Yay!)
Stantler
Corsola
Pro tip: You can get slugma from an egg from the guy in Violet City’s pokemon center. Use this to find the password http://www.filb.de/games/tools/aikotoba
I know, I’ve done it before, but thank you 🙂
Thank you soo much! I’ve been wanting to use a Johto native fire type besides Cyndaquil for a while now but I always assumed that you couldn’t since you can’t catch Slugma or Houndour in Johto. This helped perfect my team. I feel silly for not knowing about this after all this time.
Good Night guys. Tomorrow I’ll start my SS play through with the party below. I’m looking forward to that.
Goodnight! Have fun with ledyba
Thanks 🙂
Before I go to bed, I just had a challenge idea.
You can only use pokemon of the type of the previous gym you fought. After defeating another gym, you cant progress until you have at least two pokemon of that type. Beginning of the game is free, You can use what ever you want. Nuzlocke and Dupes clause are optional
Nice, we still have this thing, let’s go Lance!
okay guy we need to guess what’s going to be next in Pokemon Sun and Moon,so any guesses?
I’m hoping this trailer shows us whether or not megas are returning
As someone pointed out though earlier in these comments, it has been confirmed already that Megas are returning on Pokenchi(I think I spelled that right) by Masuda himself. In fact given the 2017 merchandise reveal, its very likely we’ll have new mega pokemon as well.
The vote button is still broken for me.
I’d vote Lance though.
Lorelei is pretty forgettable.
Bruno’s kind of cool, but easy to beat.
Agatha looks like she should be sweeping the floors with a broom rather than pokemon battling.
I agree. I stated early my reasons for hating Bruno but Agatha also sucks and Lorelei was okay. At least she didn’t have repeating Pokemon on her team
All I can remember Lorelei having is Jynx, everything else got squashed too quickly.
You can try voting on your phone, I’ve heard that it works.
My phone doesn’t do internet.
Why more single-vote polls? ;_;
Because proportional representation is an awful system.
why does everyone say agitha uses ghost types? she had an entirely poison team. she’s clearly a poison type trainer. anyways, voting for her, she’s the only interesting one here.
Because:
A) In gen 1 there were only 3 ghost pokemon.
B) She was the only elite 4 member whose entire team shared a type, which wasn’t intentional.
C) In FireRed/LeafGreen, the famechecker claims: “Agatha’s Ghost-type Pokémon are horrifically terrifying in toughness.”
D) In her FR/LG rematch, she replaces one with Misdreavus.
ah neato I didn’t know that. kinda funny how lance is actually a mono-flying type champion in gen 2. I thought it was also kinda funny how she was replaced by koga who was supposed to be a poison type trainer as well.
Yeah, they didn’t really thing things through in the early generations. In gen I there were only 3 dragon types, 1 dragon move and no way for dragon moves to gain STAB. In gen II there were precisely 4 dragons including the original 3.
Replacing her with Koga made sense. The game was supposed to be set later on and she was already the oldest elite 4 member ever. (Maybe she died… spooky thought).
I’m guessing because Gengar’s line was the only ghost types in gen 1 so it would be hard to fill her team out with just Gengar and haunter. I do agree that she should’ve been poison though
It’s because there are 3 Ghosts types in Gen.1 so she would have for a team
Gengar
Haunter
Haunter
Gengar
Gengar
If she only used Ghost
well guys tomorrow’s the big day another info on Pokemon Sun and Moon,which means we need to get everything set up for the Big Show,so let’s cross our fingers and see what cool new Pokemon we’re going to see next! 😀
