So far, they are covering the spaces of Pokémon Origins. And its great.
Animation looks SOOOO good
I would rather have another origins rather than 4 minute videos with absolutely nothing

Pretty happy with this one. Felt perfectly melded into Origins. Now on to Johto for the next two please!
It’s such a waste. All this quality for short, chopped and pointless episodes. Go figure.
I can’t determine wat the point of Pokémon Generations …..did the pkmn compny try to test something?
Omg, some of that dialogue was so cringe worthy, not to mention how bad bruno and agatha’s voice actors were. 2/10
Agatha’s voice is indescribable and fit her perfectly.
It sounded like someone trying to pretend to be an old woman. They should’ve actually just got someone who was old.
Yah but Lance was 10/10….
Yeah, he was decent. No complaints
I actually liked Agathas and didn’t notice anything wrong with Bruno
is anyone’s disqus all stretched out?
Yes
I don’t like change
I don’t like it, but I’m sure it’ll go back eventually.
so i need to start thinking about my team
all i got is
Heatigre
Lycanroc
and Mudsdale
so i need something to beef it up, i wanted maybe an Electric type or a Grass type but nothing’s calling out to me
maybe i’ll settle on Bewear and maybe Jangmo-o if it looks tough enough
What about Vikavolt?
i’m not one for bugs, and Vikavolt just doesn’t seem compatible with me
There’s not much to choose from in terms of electric
nope, well honestly in all my life the only Electric types i’ve ever ran for a main game were Electabuzz and Eelektross
Those are good ones. An electric/fire type would be perfect for my team since idk if I’m really into Salandit all that much and Turtonator probably won’t be available until late in the game.
Electabuzz is one of my favourite electric types. I feel I also need a Grass or Electric Type to combat Water types, I’m thinking Lurantis which I’ve seen you don’t like. I hope some good new ones are revealed soon. We never seem to get that many Electric types, in comparison to say, Water.
Well too bad since you never use foreigners in your first playthrough. Your own words. VIKAVOLT
I can’t find a good Electric type too I hope we can catch Tapu Koko early in this game…and for grass type I choose Morelull I know Grass/Fairy-type sucks but it has a good design and actually only few pkmn can use spore.
Whimsicott is great, though mostly for it’s Prankster ability than it’s type. It would probably be better as a pure Fairy, maybe wouldn’t look as good though. I wonder if Morelull will Evolve.
Whimsicott NEEDS TO FUCKING DIE
AND PRANKSTER seriously one of the most abusable and broken abilities out there
But it’s SO FLUFFY. At least it’s use of Prankster is mostly to shut down status moves with Taunt. Stopping stuff like Will-O-Wisp.
have you ever been Leech Subbed?
No, but then I take it down as fast as I can, don’t give it a chance to set up. I have seen it try a substitute, but when I fought that particular one I was using an Infiltrator at the time. The only time it’s really annoyed me is when it was in a triple battle with Terrakion and used Beat-Up to max Terrakions’ attack I hadn’t seen it before, I counter it easily now.
doesn’t matter
if you can’t kill it on one shot or break its sub and kill it
leech Seed
Protect
Sub
Protect
sub
protect
sub
and it goes on and on until you die
Prankster Taunt it? But then you’d have to use a Whimsicott too and hope you outspeed it. Grass types are unaffected by leech seed, have you tried using Torterra, Ferrothorn or Cradily?
do i look like i have anything to taunt it with, these are extremely situational
So is using Whimsicott though. Sap Sipper would also work. Infiltrators, Magic Bounce and Magic Guard, predicting and Protecting/Detecting are some other options.
ugh all the Pokemon with those abilities i dislike, like a lot
Imprison with Substitute could work, as could Liquid Ooze I think. Really if you’re not willing to try other options, or Pokémon you dislike at the moment then you are kinda stuck. Maybe gen 7 will introduce your saviour.
liquid ooze? there’s only like 2 pokemon who can use it and one of them suuuucks
Although Tenacruel could try to Acid Spray it down to size but honestly i see Tenacruel only as support and a rapid spinner then a offensive
If it can take down Whimsicott in that role maybe it’s worth a try? Also Sound based moves pass through Substitute, not sure if that helps at all.
it really doesn’t unless your running an Arourous
I think Quick Guard blocks moves with raised priority from Prankster. No Ground types learn it but a few Rock and Steel Types do. I’m trying to find other options but it really does seem to be quite limited beyond what I’ve suggested.
The only thing I might be comfortable with is a Infiltratior Crobat but even then you can’t guarantee it’ll stay and let me hack it to pieces
Use Infernape it can be super fast with a Flame charge or just regular stats and being physical attacker Flareblitz it to death
And Taunt it’s also Fighting and you like fighting
Are you getting Sun or Moon?
both
Moon’s pre-bought and i have an entire jar of tip money devoted to Sun which is about…70ish dollars
So this Lycanroc is the Midnight form?
No, Sun is my main game
Are you only using new Pokemon? Cause, we’ve seen that there are older Pokemon in the game that could be used as well.
new Pokemon no exceptions
if i wanted to use old Pokemon i’ll play the game they debuted in
What about Crabrawler? Or Oranguru?
oranguru looks decent but naw
and Crabrawler might make the cut if it gets a decent evolution
I don’t think it’ll evolve. Would you use an Alolan type like Sandslash?
hell no
How about Komala? It has to have a beast of an evolution.
Earthen needs bulky. Alola Sandslash is way too vulnerable
Well I swore off Alolan Forms because I firmly believe that they are wasting slots for new Pokemon
Sandslash is also on my team rooster so far
Never understood people who insist on only using the new Pokemon in a region. I use whatever I like and or whatever Pokemon is available in the region. I don’t care if they’re “new” or not
that kinda statement just urks me
New generation means new pokemon, and your squandering a new experience by using old favorites
that’s why i loved BW so much they forced everyone to use new stuff (and i get off on the complainers)
And your attitude urks me
People can use whatever the hell they want, and that includes old Pokemon. Who are you to say what’s the “right” way to play and what’s “squandering”?
Why I’m using an Eevee
I only use new Pokemon in my first run throughs mostly so I can get to play with them and see how they work. It becomes a new experience, a new team, and it keep things fresh for me.
If I just used mons I already knew and loved, I would be excluding a lot of other mons. Plus, as I learned with Crobat when I played HGSS, even a Pokemon I brushed aside can surprise me and become my fav mon in a team.
You’re free to do whatever you want, though. I’m just bringing up why I do it.
LOL the absolute state of this
Anohi, #000 on the Alola Pokédex which directly translates to “rainbow origin” is a mythical Pokémon that was born in the colors of the rainbow. Type is Fairy and has a unique ability called “Prism Tone” where it gains STAB on Electric, Water, Grass and Fire-type attacks.
>Marshadow, a gigantic scorpion (most likely based on an emperor scorpion) that is said to slumber in the oldest temple in Alola. It is venerated as the bringer of destruction. Once awaken, it covers the sun with its tail and every living being will fall under its command. Marshadow’s typing is Dark/???, which second type changes depending on the jewel it wears on its head. Has a unique ability called “Umbra Legion” where its teammates get STAB with Dark-type moves.
>Parcuatro, a legendary Grass/Flying that is said to reside in the heart of Lush Jungle. Based on the flower “Bird of Paradise”.
>Agatha of the Elite Four is the Kahuna of Akala Island. Uses Tapu Akua, a Ghost/Fairy guardian.
>Alola forms:
•Bellsprout line – Electric/Grass
•Ekans line – Water/Dragon
•Doduo line – Fighting/Flying
•Persian – Dark/Psychic
•Tentacool line – Water/Electric
•Jynx – Grass/Psychic
>No new mega-evolutions. Megastones can be located through a minigame in Rotom-dex.
>Every main protagonists (male and female) from the past 6 regions can be selected as online default avatars (which also gets 3D models during battles)
Um. Link?

Rowlett’s dex # confirms this fake among other things like the person pretending the PWT is the Aether Paradise.
So like…I’m guessing you’re posting this for the pure ridiculousness of it right? Cuz there are SOOO many things that are already confirmed fake… Like if this had come out 2 months ago it could have been somewhat believable
I would enjoy this if it were true
this sounds so fake
Lmao it keeps coming
Leaked concept arts (from the starters) are directly from the anime (implying Ash’s Litten will fully evolve)
Starter evo names: Mightigre, Sirenade, Shoothood
Synchro is not real, the starters secret is that they have their own exclusive Z-moves and are dual-type
Pokemon with day/night forms: Salandit, Cutiefly, Rockruff, Vikavolt
October 4th info features: Dolphin Water/Electric for Sun, Dolphin Water/Fairy for Moon
More than 110 Pokemon
Type: Null is Marshadow pre-evolution
Team Skull and Aether will acquire both version mascots at one point in the game
Where exactly are these leaks?
4chan
So you know these are fake right? Not trying to insult you, I just genuinely can’t tell.
Dont think I ever said they were real?
No I know you didn’t I was just asking. Cuz these leaks are so blatantly fake I didn’t think anyone would post them except as a joke lol
This is so great. I really wish the official anime was more like this. I only felt ripped off by how short each battle was
*Sigh* Yknow, I wish one of these episodes was just ONE battle like Blastoise vs. Dragonite almost was instead of cramming in a bunch of peeks at the battles. When I heard of Generations, I thought each battle would be an episode in and of itself, they deserve to be, but right now, Pokemon Generations just seems like a series of trailers to me. Good animation doesn’t mean squat without substance.
This is Generations biggest problem and the main reason why i feel like its overhyped by the fanbase
I’m hoping it’ll get better as time goes on, like next episode will be Red vs. Blue. However, if it follows the pattern, it’ll be a tease.
First episode: Pikachu battles a bunch of pokemon. Great! Hope there’s more!
Second episode: Police hunt down Giovanni. Oh cool! Look at Arcanine burn down that wall!… Oh! They have him cornered, will they battle him? No?… He just walks away? Ok then?…
Third Episode: Blue challenges Elite 4. Or, more accurately, Blue uses one attack per League member then sits on a throne…
Episode 4: Red vs. Blue. If this pattern continues, Red and Blue exchange quips, battle scene starts, skips battle so Red enters Hall of Fame. Taking all bets!
Pretty sure next episode will have nothing to do with Red vs Blue at the Pokémon League.
I LOVE this!!! Especially since it shows how blue became champion! One issue is that there doesn’t seem to be a “champion” before blue… So idk how the system really works now lol. But other than that WOW!!
I also love how this kind of shows that Agatha has some kind of mischievousness to her which I believe in the manga this was fully fleshed out as she was a part of team rocket or something? And the way Gengar entered the battle XD amazing!
I’m really lovin these shorts. I hope they are like a trial run for an actual series in a similar style aimed at older members of the fanbase. That’d be AMAZING!
It’s that simple, really: no one had ever beaten the Indigo Plateau Elite Four before. Blue was the first. There was no Champion before him.
That’s the case in the games too. When you beat Lance, he says you’d be the Champion if someone else hadn’t defeated him a little while before.
The games’ League isn’t like the anime League. Even collecting the eight badges is a rare occurrence and kind of a big deal in the games.
if u read oak’s pc it saying that the e4 is calling out trainers to come challenge the league. so it adds on that the Indigo Plateau was recently created before the events of R/B/G/Y
MANGA SPOILERS BEWARE: Agatha (and the rest of the elite 4 for that matter) were massive villains in the Advenures manga, distinct from team rocket (in fact team rocket fight together with the main characters to defeat them, and Giovanni has a pivotal supporting role). They wanted to destroy humanity because of the damage they were causing to the environment, and their endangerment of wild pokémon.
In fact Agatha was by far the most evil of them, with a relatively young Lance being something of a misguided ideologist (and even fighting other antagonists later on), Lorelei being pretty nasty but also scarred by humanity’s evil treatment of pokémon (and she turns up in a supporting role later in the Sevii islands), and Bruno actually being brainwashed by Agatha rather than actually a willing participant. Agatha however is pretty much pure evil, though she does indeed believe in the validity of their goal, she harbours a deep hatred of Oak stemming from rivalry in their youth gone sour, and nearly succeeds in murdering his grandson with her gengar’s dream eater.
So yeah, this definitely has some neat hints to that version of the character, though nothing close to the manga counterpart’s utter evil.
Oh my god…. I need to read this manga!!!
I feel like Generations is filling in the gaps of Origins with a different perspective on each episode so far.
The only thing I liked about this was the little meeting the E4 had at the beginning, and the ending with Blue waiting on the throne for Red. The rest was just a waste of really good animation *sigh*
If they made these longer on the other hand, i would actually be impressed.
Lorelei would sure have to freeze me after I had my way with Bruno and Lance.
Wow apparently Nintendo Europe will not progress any Wii U orders anymore after September 30th. Guess they’re going all out with the NX?
honestly seeing how companies talking about it, makes me really excited for the NX now
When the Agatha and Blue get more character development in just under 5 minutes and the anime fails to give proper character development to other important characters in undrr 24 minutes.
Seems as though Pokemon Leagues are a recent addition to the Pokemon World and occurred after the Kanto War in Kanto and there was no Champion until Blue.
R/B/G/Y explained that already, if u look at oaks pc
Awesome! Pokemon History is so interesting to me and hope it’s expanded upon more in Sun/Moon.
Explain for me o.o
It’s new to Kanto, I don’t know about the Pokemon world as a whole. For instance: Cynthia implies she became the Sinnoh Champion a looooooong time before the events of Diamond and Pearl. Alder was the Champion for such a long time he had retired and was asked back. And so on.
Well we don’t know for sure since D/P/P and R/B may be several years apart in terms of events taking place.
Nope! Only 3 years
Maybe no one had ever defeated the Kanto E4 to assume the position of champion.
“I’ll smash your ice into a million pieces”
Ok, Blue you gotta be more subtle with your puns that was just bad
I’m not the only one that thought that was a bad line! Yay
Yeah he should say I will melt u like Ice cream melted in hell.
New Z-moves type symbols leaked on Twitter it seems (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/692af6dda2a695fb8927cf3ce77c7cae370e2b65c2fe43243294423857bdeed8.jpg
awww Ground suuuuuuuucks
they should’ve done a fissure crack or something
The Steel one is probably the lamest though, along with the electric one
I like dark one dragon looks good too.
The ice one is almost exactly the iceberg badge from Kalos. Also, the water one is really similar to Wave badge.
I like the bug one a lot
The Wii U is close to being completely dropped by Nintendo. Rumours and sources state that the Wii U is in it’s last order date for retailers in Nintendo of Europe. Expect to see the NX rather soon; before mid-October. It’s about to become a hot product in a few years as it seems like Nintendo will completely cut production by 2017. Peace out Wii U, you were great while you lasted.
Wii U was a solid 6/10 but had a 10/10 line up
Agreed, had a couple of good games but overall it was average at best.
Mario 3D World, Splatoon, Pokken (eh), Mario Kart, Mario Maker, Zelda Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD,
Plus the virtual console. Earthbound! I love it!
Liked Hyrule Warriors as well
Never played it… it has Midna though so I should
It was re-released as Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS. It contains all DLC packs too
I might pick it up. Linkle is on that too. Linkle and Midna are some of my favorite Zelda characters so yeah.
3DS has always been the better platform
Isn’t it coming in March 2017?
Let me rephrase that; expect the NX reveal before mid-October.

My God… That animation in Episode 3 was outstanding. Seriously, why can’t the anime just be this with either Red or Ash. I loved the perspective they took with Blue instead of Red. It seems like Blue lost respect for Oak with him forfeiting his training for Pokemon research. I just felt the tension and emotion when Red and Blue confronted each other. I seriously hope Episode 4 is the battle between them. Lastly, I loved how they kept some continuity with the VS. Seeker being on Red’s bag. Just all of that detail didn’t go unnoticed. Why can’t this be the core animation team of the Pokemon Series. rf. that feeling when you see too many hawt girls. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eef1af3195034f4ef0a695228312477ce206ab59488d241c9f07ed3d72cc6c17.png
Lorelei ~(♥▾♥~)
They made Bruno unrealistically buff….it looks so fake.
The kinda did do the same for Lorelei though
Just rewatched her part….uh…yeah they did.
I wish she got some character like Agatha did
Same. Agatha looked like Hagatha though, if you know what I mean. Her nose was huge.
That’s how she was in the original art though. Well, it was stylized but kind of implied
It’s cause she like a witch
Also I realized her and Bertha are the same character
They’ve gotta be related at least..shauntell even mentions it!
Yeah. What’s with those huge sleeve holes?
I think that’s just how the art style is maybe. Everyone looks kinda muscular. But he’s definitely pushing extreme muscle.
He doesn’t even look like a real person though lol, even within the context of this art style.
Kinda muscular us an understatement tho. He has the same build as Machamp. How are they gonna differentiate them now?
machamp has super power and doesnt even look like a human
And shiny..
I know this is probably so foolish and naive of me to ask (yet I post it here anyways), but is anyone else paranoid/nervous by Lockstin? He just to me seems like someone that always has to be right and I’m afraid of what may happen if he is right. As long we get to use all 800+ Pokemon in this supposed “major reboot” theory he’s getting on about, I’ll be fine.
He specifically mentions in all of the theory vids that some stuff he says is a bit of a stretch. Educated, but still a stretch. I’d say 80% of what he’s saying might actually happen
Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it! I haven’t really watched his videos that much.
Well part 1, 2, 2.5 and part 3 are a must watch
I think his theories are mostly great. Some are pushing it, but it’s the fact that he’s talking about a complete reboot that makes me think twice. I don’t necessarily think it will be a complete reboot but another soft reboot like Black and White were.
Maybe he is right, but I think the whole Alchemy thing might lead to something else than, say, a reboot.
I don’t really see what advantage they would have to doing a full reboot. I think mixing up the games a bit with trial captains and such is about as “reboot” as they’ll go.
Black and White were already soft-reboots of the games. Sun and Moon are taking it a step further with no gyms, elite4 and standard league format. The biggest complaint the games have, is that they are stale gameplay-wise and haven’t really changed it all bar small tweaks here and there.
I’m excited for the change! As long as it feels like pokemon, I’m all good.
BEST PART
i.imgur.com/jVz1VMo
Strongly agree.
That was a pretty badass moment
Yeah that part was really cool.
I see you added some extra makeup to your profile
Realized I forgot to put it when I first drew it. 😛
Everything about this is great!
You know… Except Bruno’s overbuilt muscles
Love the animation.. but I find English voices really take away from most animes for me. Like how I often prefer to watch and read foreign film as apposed to american I suppose
Also New Ash would fit right in design wise. I know people hate him but he fits this animation people love.. aside from his noodle arms : -/
Also I Officially Love All the starters.. even Popplio’s final evo.. will I use it? No. But I will be excited when I see others use it in battle. I hope they are all good stat wise!
I’m gonna get so much hate for this…..
Am I the only one who found Blue somewhat annoying?
No. I did as well. It was around the part where he said “DON’T COMPARE ME TO THAT OLD MAN!” I could just imagine Oak hearing that and killing himself and it was just….
Well… Killing himself would be too far. Maybe like crying and getting depressed
I did more when he just walks past them, I forgot who it was to but he’s so goddamn arrogant. I know he’s supposed to be that way, but he had no other character
Yeah. He just used a Pokémon. Took them down and got all cocky and then left.
Exactly
I did not. I found his personality to fit the one he has in game. He’s being portrayed as a powerful, yet “snotty” trainer. I loved emotion he showed when he was being compared to Oak; which he ultimately detested. He wants to surpass his old man. Considering his rivalry with Red, I absolutely love his Blue Oak.
I just felt he needed a bit more to him. Though I won’t deny, the part when he was champion and saw red got me hyped
That was likely the intention. Blue is a jerk; you’re not supposed to like him in the first place. I think his appeal is his stark contrast to all the happy-go-lucky characters the franchise throws at us.
This was better than the last two… so anyone want to talk about something S&M related?
I wanna talk about why Passimian isn’t Fighting/Grass
Hmm haven’t heard that one before I feel it should be something else unlike Crabrawler it seems to be solid for no additional typing
but some things that is a pet peeve of mine that I’d like to say (more my friends do it not you guys)
– that Flygon should have an Alolan typing of Dragon/Bug
– That it’s confirmed that only four trial captains exist
– They say Crabrawler should be Water/Fighting
omfg why can’t people accept Flygon is a ground type, GROUND G-r-o-u-n-d ground!
it makes sandstorms for crap’s sake, it’s called the desert spirit, desert as in sand, it was destined to be revolved around sand ever since it was a Trapinch, it will never ever be a Bug because it is a Ground type first its not Dragon/Ground its ground/dragon ergo ground first dragon later but like everyone they treat it more of a Dragon and completely forget what its truly about
Exactly
Nicely said.
are you joking?
it hurls berries around its not a plant itself
I think it’s a similar argument to the one people had pre-XY. A few people were confused as to why Pancham wasn’t Fighting/Grass simply because of its leaf. It just doesn’t have enough grassy qualities to be a Grass type, in my opinion.
Sounds plausible.
Hmm… Honestly the french dialog and voice acting was noticeably better on this one IMO. I’m curious to see if there’s a noticeable difference in the future.
So awesome. I just wish they were longer! Maybe it’s a trial for a longer animated series in the future?
We could only hope. Why doesn’t the Pokemon Company just make these guys the main animators? They clearly have some outstanding taste in artstyle and talent!
Yes, and no. Remember anamiation’s not cheap. Long running series have to reuse certain animations or take advantage of cutting corners where they can, where short series can blow their budget since they only have to last a few minutes. Its the old college project vs. professional product argument.
I really appreciate how antagonistic they made each E4 member. It truly reflects the personality of someone who’s been cooped up for who knows how long, waiting for someone to actually obtain all eight badges. It shows just how hard the Pokemon league really is instead of glorifying and simplifying it like they do for Ash.
Ok so this is my FireRed team so far, I’ve just beaten Misty. BTW most of the Team members so far are not permanent, I am just using them now because I’ve never used them before:
Ivysaur (Spice) Lv 19
Rattata (Ratatata) Lv 18
Beedrill (KingBeetch) Lv 19
Spearow (Kaaawwwn!) Lv 18
Meowth (Jacob (dunno why I named him that, just felt like it) Lv 14
Thoughts?
looks boring
He said they weren’t permanent
so is my attention span
Ditch the rat and the cat, and get yerself a machop or a Nidoking
Keep Meowth. Ditch Ratata
Ok thanks
I’d suggest replacing Rattata with something like Poliwrath gives you a good spread because if the Water AND Fighting type
This may seem like a semi weird idea but I was going to get a Dragonite later on to serve the role as a water type (since it learns a lot of water moves), my dragon, and my flier. I was going to put Hitmonlee on too when I got to Saffron. But before that I’ll take your advice and catch myself a Poliwag
So my team for SS is
Chikorita (Radish)- Level 13
Slugma (Sriracha)- Level 12
Ledyba [??? (I was thinking maybe Punch?)]- Not yet obtained
Murkrow (???)- Not yet obtained
Corsola (???)- Not yet obtained
Stantler (Of course, Mousse)- Not yet obtained
I need food related nicknames that make sense like the 3 I have.
Uselesswad
Hotwings
Rockcandy
No
Maybe but that would work better for Talonflame
I like it but I’ll look at more.
fine buffalowings
I’m think more on the Corn side because scarecrows
Taco Supreme
Maybe for Corsola it could be Cherry and for Ledyba it could be Pepper because of it being fast and has access to Bullet Punch (like “peppering” the opponent)? Idk I’m bad with putting food names for nicknames. Also nice to see someone else using a Grass Type Starter, I’m currently doing a Fire Red run with mons I haven’t used before, like Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur has been working pretty well for me.
it don’t get bullet punch
Doesn’t it have a priority move or something? I feel like it should have one..
it gets mach Punch
but like it would do it any good
tis the worst
Sadly true
Ledian
Formats: PU
Overview
Ledian is totally outclassed and cannot merit a slot on any serious team, as Meowstic and Ninjask do everything that Ledian can better defensively and offensively, respectively. It has terrible offensive stats, which nullifies its large offensive movepool, and a shallow support movepool, along with poor defenses and a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock, making it absolutely worthless on any team.
RIP Ledian
Shut up Earthen. No one cares. I for one do not. People just can’t express themselves without you showing off your competitive battling know-it-all attitude. Just stop. It’s tolerable sometimes because that’s just how you are, but seriously WHO CARES?!
You need to understand that it’s not something that people like when you say “Why bother” or “No one cares” or “They both suck and don’t fit on any teams”
Any Pokemon can be useful it just needs the right instinctive.
In the words of Karen:
“Strong Pokemon. Weak Pokemon. That is the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should win with the Pokemkn they love best.”
Chikorita ftw man. Best starter even though it’s the hardest to get through the first few gyms.
I feel you dude. I remember those good SoulSilver days when I still had my Frenzy Plant Meganium. RIP to it since I lost my copy of the game…
Luckily I had Rock Throw Slugma. Just beat his Stupid Roost Pidgeotto
How did you get Slugma that fast?!
Egg from Primo
What egg from Primo???
Oh just looked it up now I see it nice one!
When you are in Violet City there is a man in the Pokémon Center named Primo who gives you eggs and PC backgrounds when you give him the right keywords
Oh yeah I raged so hard at that bird and especially that Miltank and Kingdra
Corsola – Rock candy
Ledyba – Fruit Punch
Murkrow – Black Licorice (B. Licorice for short)
Way better nicknames then mine ?
Thanks 🙂
I drew a quick Wicke head because I really like her design! 🙂

Superb!
Ahhh thank you!! 😀
It’s actually really hard without a drawing tablet. I have to do all the lineart with a shaky hand, then color, then redo the lineart
What software do you use? It might have a vector curve tool that will help create smooth arcs. I can help you find it, should it exist.
I use ArtRage for all the lineart. I believe the tool I use has a smoothing feature. It works well for small curves, but large ones tend to have a lot of bumps in them still
You should try SAI! It’s pretty good and works well if you have a mouse
I actually use that for all the coloring lol 🙂
Sai has a curve tools and vector layers though.
I use Procreate but that’s mostly on ipad. Its own smoothing is adjustable, though higher settings paint slowly and tend to be annoying…
So cute!
where’s the rest of her?
the bazongas or dem hyips?
Love it!
the shadowing of this drawing is amazing. i love it
you guys have me hooked on Lockstin now.. draining my battery o_o
Can we just stop for a minute and look at this beauty?
Milotic golden age has come to an end.
Really appreciate the design. Best 7th gen starter so far…
http://pre11.deviantart.net/0850/th/pre/f/2016/266/6/c/popplio_collab_by_ukemerman-dailpmj.jpg
So far? Each Gen only gets 1 set xP
so far from the other two…
Agree to disagree there. Rowlet’s archer look is my favorite so far. But it is wonderful to see that we are pretty much seeing a universal love for the starter’s. I mean the last time it happened might have been around maybe gen four?
A universal love for two of the starters…can’t really stand that thing and you know what I’m talking about.
No I really don’t. Either it’s Rowlet, or its litten. Both are good in my book as LItten’s design’s really grown on me. Really I’m certain once animated it’ll look great. Plus you can pretend its King and that he’s trying to protect little orphan kids, and also maybe a priest.
I don’t like archer rowlett at all to be honest. Just doesn’t fit my taste design wise. I was definetly hoping for more of a horned owl however my opinion can be changed once I see some official art work to see how the creature really moves and operates, and what it looks like under that horrendous hood. Also the poplio evolution has really grown on me and I kinda love it now. I hope it’s part fairy.
As for the litten Evo with the fire crotch belt and the cartoony hands , I’ll only ever like this guy if it’s part dark type. If it’s a fighting type, I’ll never use it.
Rowlet archer is amazing, even though I’m sick of them giving the starter Pokemon “occupations”.
i’ll get the water boiling
somebody get some garlic and sea salt
pssh. Let’s just get the deep fryer. I’m in the mood for some blubber nuggets.
AHHH so prettyy. This is probably going to be one of my favorites when I can finally use it
Found the source btw

Milotic is still queen.
BALDERDASH!!!!! There is only one Queen
AND THEY ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!
WE…
are the crystal gems?
That’s a different song, but that is also cool. <3
Nah, the real queen is queen rowling.
this artwork makes me appreciate it more
I’m a huge fan of this pokemon. its gorgeous and beautiful, I hope (pretty likely) that its real.
worst starter design ever, I’m so disappointed in poppleo
I thoroughly enjoyed the new episode of Generations. It’s interesting to to sides of characters we don’t typically get to hear about a lot. I wonder who’ll they’ll do next. seems like they should be onto Johto now lol
I hope they do something that relates to the Gold v Red battle
I could see that. The only reason I could see them not doing that is due to US having actually being able to see it in game…..which would be kind of a bummer lol
True, but if it were possible, maybe it could be from Gold’s perspective from climbing Mt. Silver and reaching the summit in the first minute, and the battle commences for the next 2-4 minutes?
I think it would make more sense for them to do it from Red’s perspective in this case, seeing as the first half would then at least be something that the players haven’t already witnessed.
That would probably happen
I really, really hope so.
I just completed a 7 hour online course in 2 1/2 hours . . . Somebody check my vitals, I feel so lifeless. . .
———————
Anyway, the new generations was pretty cool. It’s not much to look forward too, but generations is entertaining. The coolest part of this one had to be when Agatha sent out Gengar. Also (ok, I know it isn’t hosted here, but I want to get the word out) if you’re in the tournament and haven’t done any battles, you have one week to start participating before you get DQ’d. I need to know who is really participating still and who is just unresponsive.
How… Is that possible? A 7 hour course in 2 and a half hours?
It’s estimated time is 7 hours. It’s not a video course, if that’s what you mean. It’s sort of a hands on programming thing. It teaches you stuff, you show you know it, you move on.
Oh ok. I thought it was a video course
Good practice for college lol. I wrap up a 16 weeks course in 10 weeks. And i know someone that did in 14 days just in time before his trial of his free book ended
Hmmmmmmm there’s nothing i can do
I think its best if we….put him down
Lol. Back in university I used to learn the entire semester in 2 weeks.
sometimes I really dont like a pokemon, but then I see some artwork and it changes my opinion
Then I see Delphox’s in game model again and go back to where I was
listen no artwork will save delphox. that thing is a mess
i personally love delphox, its the best designed fire starter I my opinion. such a nice change of pace after the previous 3 generations.
The official artwork isn’t bad. But then you see the in game model just standing there all bland and unceremonious and you’re back to square one
At least it isn’t another Fire/Fighting, yet I do love Infernape
Yeah, its typing is cool at least. I love Infernape too though
Nice to see someone else who likes it too
Does anybody else watch the lockstin videos about the end of the games? Would love discussion about the theory 🙂
Yah I do. I think most people do. His videos are awesome.
I have a lot of time at work with nobody around so I like the hour long videos to just listen to while I’m working.
Omg same! Except I do homework lol
The first thing I thought after watching part 3, was that the shiniest of the legendarys would be black and red respectively, showing off the eclipse colors tjat they represent
I wonder if Marshadow will have a black and red color scheme
I admire his work and how he ties things together but I don’t like his videos at all.
oi…vey…..long ass day of Warrioring on wow…..i think my quest comes to a halt here……
Do you speak Yiddish or are you just saying oi vey cuz you can? Cuz if you do, I’m very surprised. I thought I was the only one here!
Kuz I can biiiiiiiiitch
Gotchya
AH the animation in this episode is just outstanding!!! Even the short battles between Blue and Lorelei and Agatha were exquisite. The dialouge betw agatha and blue also revealed much about the relationship with his grandfather. The only letdown about this episode is the pokemon battle itself!! I thought they would show more or how blue defeated lance to become champion…
But overall, still a great generations episode!!
That lorelei sideboob though..
I think she has a relation with Team Rocket
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/e8/Lorelei_anime.png
This episode just reaffirms that Agatha is my favorite of the Kanto E4. It’s a shame she did so poorly in the polls :/
I was never her biggest fan design-wise (heh – I liked Bruno :P).
But that’s some top-notch personality she’s got there.

It’s nice to see that these shorts answer some little questions. We saw that Elite Four reside in Pokemon League, and they got prepared when a new trainer approaches. So they don’t wait in their “battle room” for a trainer to come. What surprises me is that in the first scene when we see a statue and four staircases leading to doors, it is exactly the layout of Unova League. Unova was the first league where the battling of Elite Four didn’t take place in succesive rooms that you have to go in a predetermined order. Actually in Unova what is seems is that you go to where Elite Four resides, or more precisely where spend their time, in order to battle them.

k.
Was that one of those “Download this software now” comments, because if it was, that’s the 4th time I’ve seen that HERE.
isnt green suppose to be a 12 year old kid ? why is he look and act like a 18 years old, I prefere the one from origins
Green wasn’t in this episode. It was my understanding that was Blue and Red walked in during the last scene.
Yeah but in Japan they call Blue; Green I think it’s stupid that they are different so I call him blue
“Hurry up and come”
I swear why does everything go bad
I haven’t touched my 3DS in weeks, kept it nice and safe now I can’t get to eShop
I keep getting a 005-4701 error
I can’t tell if it’s undergoing maintenance or it’s something wrong
Because that’s the nature of the universe.?
Really not helpful I’m beginning to freak out
I got the same error code (i think) when they were updating pokemon bank just give it time.
Alright……I just hope my 3DS isn’t dying it works perfectly but I just can’t update or get on eShop
I felt the same way at the time I had all of my pokemon in the bank and I couldn’t find anything online about maintenence thought I lost all my pokemon. I waited and sure enough in a few hours it was all back online.
Lol I’m glad it’s to you
Well that’s rude how would you feel if the same happened to you? There’s no reason to be dickish
that’s nasty, even i wouldn’t wish such forsaken thoughts onto my fellow gamer’s hardware
Now I can’t even update my 3DS I keep getting error 005-4701
I am really scared now
Ok I think it’s starting to work
Miiplaza’s update is going through
I am updating my Brother’s 3DS (Aka back-up DS #1)
And soon I’ll attempt to go to eShop
Glad to see it’s working out.
Sorry I just have a crippling mind numbing fear of my personal devices dying, not working properly, deleting itself and genuine hyper-hypercondria and overall paranoia
No need to apologize, my phone and DS are a big part of my life my DS even more given it has years worth of memories and stuff I’d utterly distraught if something were to happen to it. So I can relate.
and not for nothing i’ve logged over 1500 hours into pokemon X
Ok everything is right in the world
EShop works, everything is updating and now I gotta leave the house for 7 hours because renovation,
So I’m gonna chill in the woods behind my house and just play Zelda all day in the rain
Eeew
what it’s gonna be a very nice day
gonna get some bagels and a snapple
gonna drive to the woods behind my house
plug in my iPad and put on a movie
play OoT on my 3DS
gonna do that for 3 hours then go to this thrift store and get some lunch
head back at 3
then chew out the clock for 2.5 Hours then go home
i got nothing better to do today
OoT <3
But how you gonna plug your iPad? Portable charger or something?
cigarette lighter i have a charger to plug in
You have a tent or something?
Ok so I restarted my Platinum version and I’ve decided on my team to be
Piplup- (Slippy) lvl.6
Zubat- (Chiro) not obtained
Houndour- (Doury) not obtained
Ralts- (Curtsy) not obtained
Bunneary- (Hoppy) not obtained
Snover- (Pinecone) not obtained
Nice!
Thank you I’m using Pokemon I don’t normally use that are Pokemon I enjoy
I like doing that. You learn to like (and hate) a lot of pokemon lol
Cool, liking that team. What do you want to evolve Ralts into?
Lopunny is the best 😀
I like the use of Zubat.
Probably my favourite Poison type (off the top of my head).
I have had my fair share of competition in Pokemon but I just found a neat group that could beat some of the most overused Pokemon (M-Rayquaza, Primals, M-Kangaskahn, haven’t tried it but it’s a theory
1. Galvantula for a Gastro Acid attack use to dissipate all Abilities (I’ve done it this is proven) and has attacks like Thunder and such to take down Rayquaza and Kyogre yet with disadvantage to Rock and Fire meaning can be beaten by those types easily some of these others can help counter that
2. Clefable possibly one of the most confusing why no one uses it, it can use Gravity to take Rayquaza and all other Levitate or Flying Pokemon down then with Galvantula it can use its wide movepool to smash them out of the park
3. Hitmontop the last resort v.s. Kangaskahn knowing its speed can prevail over and it using moves like Triple kick and Close Combat then Wide guard to stop Pokemon from crushing its allies in seconds
4. Reunicleus lets be real this binds up the whole team with its use of recover, High Attack, and its versatility to use Trick room and Skill swap to take it allies up into their full potential
5. Slaking we all knew the big fat guy might be here on this list and of what I’ve read it has one of the highest totals of all Pokemon ranking 29 highest stat totals of all time in these games and with Reunicleus’s Skill swap can unbundle its power and can send it spiraling in with whopping strength and speed with a variety of moves at his disposal.
6. M-Gyrados no one will get this one for its power falls under its ability to take out Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza for it can use Outrage, Flamethrower, and Hydro pump for Mold breaker breaks ineffective moves
So what’s your comments?
Uhhhhhhh Galvantula would just be two shouted because of its fragility and Mega Kang fake out into a Return killing it, then retreating if gastro acid (they’re NEVER gonna let that stay)
Clefable on the offensive is decent but is outclassed by everything else better off as a wall
All Psychic types this generation fear boosted Knock Off
Slaking is powerful only as a Choice Retaliator but Truant still hurts it
And seriously M Gyarados is easily wrecked by Primals since All Gyarados run the same thing, DDance, Waterfall, Crunch, Outrage/Earthquake and during the turn it sets up Kyoge can two shot it with Thunder and P Groudon disables Waterfall and Earthquake only gets it so far and before you say Mold Breaker it will not bypass a weather of Extremely Harsh Sunlight which negates Water moves
Yet Hitmontop has nothing wrong and I have survived with Galvantula before against Groudon to stop its ability then almost beat it
Almost?
It lost but it got it down to red health under Galvantula then it beat out my team
Was this Primals?
Yes it was it wasn’t easy it my Galvantula got it paralyzed then signal beamed it also with Gastro acid
See this is what I don’t think you understand
Gastro Acid is useless on Primals
Once they’re out the sun and rain is there indefinitely
And they can just swap out to get it back
They didn’t swap but I took it out his desolate land ability it does work I have done it
Galvantula is good for Gastro Acid but it’s so frail. Chances of you being able to get it set up before it faints is fairly small with the new VGC rules.
Clefable I almost always run because its so flexible and bulky and immune to dragon. Hitmontop is king of priority moves. They just need to bring back Sucker Punch as a tutor move.
Reuniclus; their are some better options out there for trick room but it takes too long to set up and can be a double edged sword.
Good luck getting a Skill Swap out on Slaking before Reuniclus is taken out.
It’s not my favorite Mega design, but M. Gyarados is my favorite Mega to use. I’ve won so many times with it. Very versatile.
Omg yes to the sucker punch
Do you know how freaking long I wanted a real Sucker Punch Golem?
Ever since they let it have Sturdy and Weakness policy
You take a hit from many weaknesses and then boom STAB Rock Slide/Blast and Earthquake
And if they linger SUSUSUSUCKER PUNCH
I mean it’s a one trick….turtle but I still would like to have onesie
I imagine you’re talking about doubles here. I don’t really know too much about doubles but these strategies seem really passive. By the time you set them up, they will have already taken massive chunks of damage out of you. If not already KOd the Pokemon.
I know Hitmontop (Fake Out and Priority), Clefable (Follow Me, Bulk and immunity to Dragons) and Mega Gyarados are good in VGC however.
What’s your favorite underrated track in Pokemon games? I mean, not the ones you always here people praising like Kalos route 15, Unova route 10, or Cynthia’s theme. I mean songs that you barely ever hear people talk about but you think deserves more love. For me, it’s this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JyzCDg6NYNc
This is easy D/P route 201
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2ajhgkYFCG0
I like that song too!
Safari Zone gate from HGSS!
Had to go listen to it to remember, I really like how upbeat it is!
That was one of my favorites as well. HGSS has a lot of my favorite game music.
I don’t know if it’s underrated, but I love Join Avenue.
https://youtu.be/t2cs1jubUdo
Hmmmm I guess that one rainy place outside of Fortree City
I just enjoy perpetual rainfall
The jazzy piano pieces in all of DP&Plt. I love Canalave’s theme
Probably the Burned Tower track from GSC.
Battle Factory from HGSS
Everything D/P/Pt
Surfing theme from X and Y
sunken ship from ruby/sapphire, which became the random island theme in ORAS. maybe not underrated, but I’m a huge fan of champion iris’s theme, and champion diantha’s theme.
I used to like it, but the overuse of it in ORAS was annoying.
yeah it really got rid of the mysterious feeling when you hear it everytime you stop somewhere. they didn’t overuse the theme that plays when you are in one of the regi chambers which really pastes on the feeling that you shouldn’t be there.
Slateport City. Dunno if people praise that one but dang I get hit with nostalgia on that. It makes me very happy.
omg I love Slateport. My favorite town in Hoenn
Slateport was fleeting, but full of character.
Bruno was pumped up in this episode of Generations.
Yaaaaaaaas https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a9a47b9daeb741069ec5da0978fa69606a1f19c0431f1a7f0fbaeb3bfbfa8046.jpg
I’m so sorry you had to go through that
lol I thought it was a ton of fun actually. I’ve never been required to legitimately think about strategy so it was fun to have to take the next step in understanding that stuff. Might try out the meta for Sun and Moon.
Your patience is greater than mine.
I’ve never been skilled enough to get even one. 🙁
Me too I either quit or fail
The closest I’ve gotten is a 46 streak on Super Singles.
My streak is 14 on regular singles
I didn’t have the patience for triple and rotation battle trophies because they are garbage, so I only got the single, double, and multi battle trophies. congrats though, this isnt easy to do!
Rotation didn’t really take long at all. And I just used my singles team + another good ‘mon. Triple was definitely stupid time consuming. I just used an Aron AI abuse team for that.
I’ve now got a horrible feeling they’re going to focus all the episodes on Kanto.
Give it time
I mean what other jaw dropping moments can they really do a five min short about
Eyeballing the kabuki goyles?
That wiener that points out the Wailmer blocking lilycove city?
Or the Psysuck blocking the road in lake…..Valor or was it outside the milkmaids
I get the feeling they’ll try to rave on about Lavender Tower at some point, and probably something about the Mansion on Cinnabar island, maybe showing the day the island volcano erupted or something mewtwo related, then they’ll want to do something in the powerplant and something in Seafoam islands, and something in Cerulean caves and before you know it it’ll be all about Kanto.
As for interesting events from other regions, aside from the individual climaxes of each story and the champions of each league, there’s:
Johto:
the day the Brass Tower burned down, the incident at lake rage, the time Team Rocket took over the radio, the time Glitter Lighthouse went out because Amphy was sick, stuff to do with the whirl islands, stuff to do with the Ruins of Alph, stuff to do with the Slowpoke well
Hoenn:
the truth about the Regis and the Sealed chamber, stuff about Southern Island, stuff about Birth Isalnd, a history of the Cave of Origin, a deeper look at the space project on Mossdeep, the origins of Sky Pillar (e.g. who actually built it and why), the origins of the dessert ruins that appear in emerald, hosting the fossils, stuff about Mt. Chimney or Meteor falls, the history of the Devon Corp., the full story behind New Mauville and its failure, a look at the mystery behind what Prof. Cosmo’s father did for the Devon Corp.
I could go on, but there’s 3 more regions… anyway, you get the picture.
I agree they could do a lot with Kanto. Especially focusing on the transition between gen 1 and gen 2 Kanto. But I very much doubt that’s all they will focus on. There’s is so much from other regions they could go into as you mentioned.
Personally I wanna see the fallout between team rocket following Gen 2s story climax. I also want to see the damage caused during the Gen 3 climax. Maybe some more info on Mt Pyre, the orbs, Cave of Origin and Sky Pillar. I also want some closure on Maxie and Archie and not just a ‘we’ve seen the errors of our ways’ bs
The eruption of Cinnabar volcano is probably one of the few Kanto events I wouldn’t mind seeing. If they end up doing anything about Lavender Tower I will go ballistic.
There is a lot they can do, but my faith grows thinner every time they draw the attention back to Kanto with megas, alolans and specialised Z moves (Snorlax, Eevee, Pikachu, Raichu… the pattern is there but so far nobody has questioned it)
I really want to see some focus on the ruins of the regions and the ancient civilisations because we know next to nothing about the people who built the ruins or what the regions used to look like. It’s only in the last two games and the next one that they’ve started to try to forge a timeline/history that stretches back further than the last few years. The Kalos war, the Delta episode and the creation of Magearna.
Prior to that all the legendaries have just been accepted as being there and they’ve mentioned the discoveries of ancient groups of humans, but never anything about the culture of the ancient peoples or any major events. It’s as if the world has only existed for about 20 years at the most…
Don’t forget about the concept art of N, team plasma, Kalos and the fact that the freaking poster has all generations on it and it’s called generations and we saw all the generations in the trailer.
Trust me, don’t worry.
That’s no comfort. Need I remind you how many megas Kanto ended up receiving in comparison to the other regions/generations?
They have a major Kanto bias, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were only one episode per non-Kanto generation.
Need I remind you that Kano, being first, is also the least useful gen of pokemon. Most gen one pokemon were considered trash pre gen 6. They needed the boost more then any other pokemon, with gen 2 close behind. As well remember we’ve already seen footage of the legendary beasts in Jhoto, so we know that their likely coming soon, probably next episode honestly.
They could have just tweaked the stats with little effort and they probably wouldn’t have had much complaint from fans, but instead they decided to make them centre stage, to the detriment of the new region’s own pokemon.
We know they make an apperance, but we don’t know how many episodes will focus on other regions. They may only do one episode per region.
tweaking stats slightly isn’t easy in pokemon. Simply its easier to create new forms where you can re-balance it how you would like, which is what they’ve done.
From the programmer’s perspective, it’s as easy as overwriting a few bytes of data.
It’s the community that finds issues with it.
I would still have rather they attempted something region forms prior to G7. One of the biggest issues I have with megas is the non-permenance.
Gen 2 is awesome no change needed
I see where you’re coming, but if you look at the Mega evolution distribution across the generations, Hoenn has the most (In X/Y: Kanto: 10, Johto: 5, Hoenn: 8, Sinnoh: 3, Unova: 0, Kalos: 0, In ORAS: Kanto: 3, Johto: 1, Hoenn: 12, Sinnoh: 2, Unova: 1, Kalos: 1 => Total: Kanto: 13, Johto: 6, Hoenn: 20, Sinnoh: 5, Unova: 1, Kalos: 1). It makes sense for Hoenn to have the most b/c of ORAS, with Kanto in second b/c of X/Y
X/Y, Origins, Sun/Moon etc. definitely display a Kanto-bias, but I suppose that’s to try and bring in the older fans.
Hoenn only ended up with the most when ORAS added more, prior to that Kanto was king. I admit they probably gave Hoenn too much focus too, but that’s a bit more understandable since they were remaking the region. In particular, it’s tragic that Kalos, the region that introduced megas, has only one mega evolver, and it’s a legendary.
And the key thing about those 3 are that they’re recent, much like generations. The only recent thing to not show Kanto bias is ORAS. It showed Hoenn bias, but it was set in Hoenn – it’s supposed to. Every game should be centred around the region it’s set in, with older generations either being linked in with the generation (e.g. via evolutions like Tangrowth, Roserade or the Eevee-lutions) or making less prominent appearances as catchable pokemon in the region.
They’ll never bring back the ‘older fans’ because those people (without meaning to invoke a fallacy) are not true pokemon fans. They made their decision to abandon pokemon long ago. The only thing they feel is nostalgia, which isn’t the same as genuinely liking the series. Granted, even the real fans have things they dislike about later generations, but at least we can see and accept both the good and the bad and just not abandon them just because of the few things we dislike.
I mean. Maybe.
But why else would we have a Pokemon generations poster with the primals, with Lysander and AZ, N, and with Cyrus? I mean I would be very suprised if they did all of that for all kanto or even just one episode of non-kanto. Plus in the trailer they show us mostly non Kanto stuff. They also showed us a lot of stuff in the trailer that isn’t Kanto too.
So there is hope. Don’t worry
One episode per generation (Lysander and Az for G6, N for G5, Cyrus for G4).
No logical argument is going to convince me, it’s a matter of faith in this case.
Don’t forget a lot of kanto was already covered in Origins. I don’t think they’ll linger much longer, if at all. Blue vs Red is basically the last arc from kanto, other than mewtwo, which they did in Origins.
You have greater optimism than me.
Volt Tackle, Megas, Alolans, personalised Z Moves – their determination to bring the focus back to Kanto will never cease.
Which I hate. We are celebrating 20 years of Pokemon, not just the first gen.
Jeez when you put it this way I realize how much it seems like some kids birthday party and there is one kid in the corner that everyone is giving attention instead
Exactly. They need to make all regions shine, not just Kanto.
So far the closest they’ve got to that is the monthly legendary pokemon download/giveaway. It’s certainly given me more appreciation for legendaries I had previously forgotten about by making them more accessible. For example, I think this is the first time I’ve actually owned a Shaymin.
It’s my first Victini, Arceus, Mew, Jirachi, and Manaphy and soon to be Genesect
And by Christmas I’ll have 4 Meloetta
I’ve never had one ; n ;
I think a lot of people haven’t knowing everyone looks for them and if I wouldn’t have lost White I would have 5 I’m on fire with them
Aye, I also cannot wait for Genesect.
I always regretted not getting a Genesect when it was first released.
Kanto is slightly less bland than Kalos anyways. I’m ready for this Genwunner phase to end for GF
kalos actually has an interestingish environment though, kanto does not. Cliffside lookouts that you can see to the routes and cities below, a desert area with a gorgeous cavern, the reflection cave, a ghastly marshland, and the booming lumiose city, just to name a few. kanto is mostly isolated cities, with a cape town or 2. that’s definitely due to hardware difference however, as I’m sure kanto could be interesting with a 3d environment and a little polish.
The things I like about Kanto is
1. Revisiting it in Johto
2. Vermillion City and its HGSS music
3. It’s great difficulty curve
Other than that all it has is nostalgia
revisiting it in HGSS was what I liked, it had effort put into it this time around, it was blank as heck in the original G/S/C. I didnt find that game any more difficult than the others though. I played through yellow recently and dear god my poor moltres doesn’t learn any moves leveling up in that game other than agility…. good thing blaine gave me a fire blast tm.
Move sets in gen 1 were just awful. Articuno was probably the best of the birds back in Kanto though. Wish it didn’t get overshadowed. Stealth Rock and Ice just being a vastly underpowered type just destroy it
3 is more about G1, not the region itself.
And the difficulty was more to do with the restrictions built into the game than anything else. If you played a modern game and limited yourself to using G1 Pokemon with G1 movesets you’d find it a lot harder.
Not to mention the differences in damage calculation and other things.
Also it sounds like you’re only imagining Kanto in its HGSS incarnation, which is admitedly is probably its best incarnation (despite the lack of Pokemon mansion), but that’s still a slightly biased way to look at it.
By difficulty curve I mostly mean in terms of pokemon levels
That’s probably more to do with the way the Exp mechanic was than anything else. They didn’t have a way to boost the exp gain of a single pokemon, only to share the exp earned out over the whole team.
Plus the distribution of grassland/caves/water was a bit odd.
I haven’t worked it out, but I get the imprssion that proportionately there are more Kalos pokemon that I like than Kanto pokemon. e.g. Trevenant, Gourgeist, Noivern, Aurorus, Hawlucha, Slurpuff, Aromatisse, Pangoro, Gogoat, Talonflame (genuinely my favourite regional bird).
As for the locations, I’d say they’re equally bland, but possibly a little bit prettier.
Regardless, I also cannot wait for the genwunner phase to end.
It’s clearly a double ploy to A) try to hook old ‘fans’ back in (which is practically impossible) and B) to try and capitalise on the popularity of Pokemon Go (more plausible, but still not going to work as well as they expect).
Of what I see Gen.2 and Gen.4 have better Pokemon than all else so let’s praise them awhile you know
I love people saying that the new pokemon are poorly designed when a lot of gen 1s were pretty bland. I mean, I like them okay, but.. Tauros? Seel? Pidgey is literally a freaking bird.
I had such a hard time making a team when playing through Red honestly. Blastoise, Jolteon, Ninetales were obvious picks. Then.. Vileplume I guess? Ok I guess I can use Marowak. Ehhhh I mean I didn’t want to use a legendary but Articuno I suppose.
Even Gen 2 had better mons. The starters all were cool even if they had pretty bland typings, Furret, Ampharos, Tyranitar, Espeon/Umbreon, Slowking, Crobat, Togepi line, Jumpluff, Scizor, Heracross, Marill, Hitmontop, Kindra, Skarmory, Houndoom, Sneasel, And awesome legendaries.
And yeah, they have been trying to get old fans back since Gen 6 and it didn’t work so IDK why they think doing it again will help at all. GO is so different from the games anyways that I doubt it would actually change much
Honestly except for a select few I dislike most gen 1 designs.
Don’t say you hate Venomoth?!
I love Venomoth, but it just really doesn’t work much in gen 1 with its tiny move set
That’s good I love Venomoth
I’ve always been half and half about Venomoth. I don’t hate it like I do some pokemon, but I’d rarely consider using one.
Yeah. Granted I dislike (e.g.) Trubbish and Vanilluxe, but I also dislike Grimer, Seel, Rattata, and (to a degree) Ekans. (Tauros is probably one I like slightly more even though I rarely use it. I like it more than Miltank at least.)
Yeah, it’s not just the limited choices, but also a lot are much more difficult to catch, especially the Safari Zone pokemon and the inability to hatch new pokemon from eggs.
The G2 starters are one of the very few cases where I actually like all the starters. (Not equally, but to some degree, i.e. there is nothing I dislike about them)
Furret is one of my favourite pokemon, I just wish Sentret were a bit cooler and Furret were a bit stronger.
I’ve always liked Ampharos, but I wish it had always had the mane of wool its mega form gets. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t like megas – Ampharos deserves a permenant wool mane outside of battle as well.
I actually used a Crobat for my ORAS playthrough.
Espeon and Slowking are two of my favourite pokemon as well (again, despite their weaknesses). Scizor is both one of my favourites and strong, like Crobat.
Heracross is another one I like, but I wish it had got a proper evolution instead of just a mega.
Kindra is one of my favourite Dragon and Water types, and made me like a line I otherwise wouldn’t have liked much.
I always liked Sneasel and I like Weavile even more (I just wish it didn’t have so many weaknesses with its typing).
The rest aren’t among my favourites, but I don’t dislike them either, I appreciate them all as decent pokemon.
The legendary dogs were infuriating to catch, but a good idea nonetheless.
They just won’t give up.
It’s only recently occurred to me that it might be only Kanto pokemon getting personal Z moves, so far they’re 4 for 4, so I seriously hope I’m wrong about that.
Go is different, but I’m sure in someone’s mind the prominence of Kanto pokemon is going to somehow make P-Go players decide to play Sun and Moon (ignoring that it would mean buying a 3DS instead of staring into a phone all day).
Yeah. Why are Alola firms only for Kanto Pokémon? That’s makes no logical sense unless Alola is inhabited only by Kanto and Alola Pokémon.
There are so many pokemon that could use alolan forms. Imagine an Ice/Grass Jumpluff. A ghost/water ludicolo that does that spirit dance from Majora’s Mask. Poison/Fairy Vespiquin! A Fire type Zebstrika! Dark/Fairy Leavanny
SO MUCH POTENTIAL
Not sure about those examples given (I still feel there should be precise justification to the retypings) but I agree there are a great many Pokemon that could benefit.
Ice/Grass Jumpluff would be like a hoppip that was flying around and got stuck in a snow storm and some how gained ice typing.
Ghost/Water Ludicolo would begin to do some crazy spirit dance that would give it supernatural powers. Maybe give it a unique Z-Move
Poison/Fairy Vespiquen would be like, some magical bee princess thing? IDK
A Fire Zebstrika could be in an environment that causes it to convert its electrical energy into heat energy.
Dark/Fairy Leavanny… idk. I just think it would be cool. Ate too many pancakes
“somehow” is not specific enough for my tastes. I like specific stuff. Vulpix and Sandshrew make sense because of their real world arctic equivalent, Meowth makes sense because of breeding and Marowak makes partial sense because of trying to overcome its weakness to its predators (similar to why Zangoose has the Immunity ability).
I dislike the Ludicolo idea for the same reason I don’t like Marowak having Ghost typing. One does not become Ghost type by learning to dance.
Vespiquen losing its Bug typing wouldn’t make sense, but attaining Fairy or Poison alongside it I could believe.
The only reason I dislike Fire Zebstrika is because it would be too similar to Rapidash. I could believe it becoming part Grass because of its Sap Sipper ability, but Fire seems a bit odd. Would need detailed justification.
Again, Bugs losing their bug typing wouldn’t make sense. Bug/Dark or Bug/Fairy I could live with. I could imagine it gaining Dark from living in a dark forest or Fairy by living near other faries or fairy rings. Losing its grass typing would require its form to change quite drastically though, it would have to stop looking like a leaf. Unless it became Fairy/Grass by somehow ascending into Fairy form, (which I guess means there is a circumstance in which I could accept Bug type being dropped, but that’s probably the only case I’d be happy with).
Bottom line, I really don’t want region forms to be an excuse to just give every pokemon a crazy typing for the sake of ‘being cool’. They have to be properly justified. Gaining a typing to overcome a predator or adapt to an enviroment are the two best reasons for doing that, as long as the shoe fits.
Grass/Ghost Frosslass, Fire/Ghost Spiritomb, Water/Poison Gastrodon. WHY. ONLY. KANTO?!?!
oh my god Fire/Ghost Spiritomb yesss
The Keystone would be a Volcanic rock and it’s body would be fire. This could be based off the “curse” tourists will get if they take Lava rocks home from Hawaii. It works perfectly!
That’s a good example of a case where a region form would make sense.
The only one of those I have issue with is the Frosslass because it has no logical justification.
Well Froslass is based on a japanese legend of this woman in a kimono getting lost in a snow storm and becoming a spirit? Something like that? So it could be similar, but have it be all hawaiian
Don’t forget Snorunt and Glalie would have to be accounted for somehow.
Oh. I thought you might say that. That’s why I have one. With only one icy mountain in Alola, not many people climbed and Frosslass didn’t get prey. It decided to hide in the dense forest which lots of tourists went to and kidnapped them there.
That doesn’t make sense, there are plenty of Sandshrew and Vulpix about.
Plus you’d have to change Snorunt and Glalie too because if there were no food on the mountains then they’d have to come down into the forest as well.
Yeah, there are so many possibilites.
For example, I would love to see a Jungle or Mountain variant of Gogoat.
And there are plenty of Normal pokemon from the various generations that could benefit from a retyping.
Hey I have a question why are some abilities in ORAS is it that not one Pokemon has it like rebound, persistent, and Mountaineer there are no Pokemon with those abilities
don’t forget Cacophony! I wonder if that was removed after ruby/sapphire?
Never heard of that one what did it belong to?
Never heard of these
They exist many apps show their existence and do does Smogen yet nothing about any Pokemon having them is covered at all
After doing a bit of research, I can see that all of those are part of Smogons CAP projects…ergo not official from Gamefreak.
‘Apps’ *cries* (Image)
http://i.imgur.com/QW15Pjo.png
These abilities aren’t in ORAS at all, they’re exclusive to smogon competitive fakemons.
Cacophony is different, it was an unused ability that was a clone of soundproof found in the code of gen III games.
Oh I wonder why so many apps talk about it?
what apps are you referring to? Maybe because they’re catering to showdown users?
Pokedex Pro has them in it
I’m assuming that’s not the 3DS app?
No it’s an IPod app
It is also on the 3DS
Oh is it free? Mine has limited space
No, but Bulbapedia is
Wait is there an official Pokedex Pro with these abilities on iOs? WTF? The official 3Ds pokedex pro certainly doesn’t have them…
No these abilities aren’t on it
Here’s the logo for mine

You realise that was supposed to be retired on Nov. 30 2015, right?
http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokedex-for-ios-is-retiring/
I just got it a few months ago
Probably because they are abilities similar to another ability. Cacophony was believed to be a Whismur line exclusive ability but it was so similar to Soundproof they just changed it.
What the hell is this thing?!!

Fakemon tier in showdown
The only thing that makes “persitent” a thing.
Sounds like either something from Pokemon Conquest or Smogon’s “Create A Pokemon” initiative.
Introducing Mega Pyukumyuku
http://i.imgur.com/WX3TsPG.png
On the one hand I want to cry, on the other hand it reminds me of MumBohJumBoh from Dragon Quest.
And on the other 3 hands, I don’t know…
Did you draw that?
Nope, found it on Reddit
Oh. It looks awesome tho. Pyukumukium Z gives it this power.
My Mega Pyukumuku is it has no changes whatsoever to the body but it’s organs take the shape of a vastly muscular humanoid
The head is Pyukumuku and the body is its organs shaped like Bruno from Generations.
https://youtu.be/t_FzdmPmc1I
If megas do return, the only one I’m hoping to see is Mega Meganium. Then we can get Mega Meganiummium Z
Except that’s useless since a Pokemon can’t hold two items.
What if the Z bracelet doubles as a Mega Bracelet and it’ll only have to hold the Z stone.
What if all Mega Pokemon become like Mega Rayquaza and we remove the One mega limit :O
RIP the meta
Rip life
You can’t have a pokemon hold a mega stone and a z stone at once though..
I know. But what if you could?
Ok fine. We won’t get Mega Meganiummium Z. But we will get Mega Meganium, which is good enough for me
Mega Yanmega Bug/Dragon should also happen
No, just no
Yes. Just yes.
It has zero business as a dagon
DRAGONfly
So?
So it has DRAGON rights
Does it though?
It’s an extinct Meganeura hence why it needs to learn ancient power in order to evolve
Yanmega would make a great bug/dragon … Only problem is the name issue. MegaYanmega sounds a little stupid
Ampharos became a dragon.
Exeggutor did.
So can yanmega.
So pls
Well Ampharos’s Japanese name Denryu translates to Electric Dragon
And the Exeguutor is up for debate and a lot say because of the Madagascar dragon palm and dragonfruits
But my theory is that the extreme wild growth is similar to a dragon’s temperament but that’s just me
Ampharos is dragon because it’s jap name is Electric Dragon
Exeguttor Cuz dragon fruit
Thus
A pokemon which is based on DRAGONfly like how exeggutor is based on a DRAGON fruit Should be DRAGON
Exeggutor cuz Dragon Palm Tree nor Dragon Fruit
Not. Not nir
Not to mention the palm-type tree “Daemonorops” (which produces fruit similar to coconuts) is used to produce a red resin called Dragon’s blood.
Exeggcutor had no business being psychic either so it’s really just whatever ?
Well Exeggecute have telepathy and hypnotic abilities
And they were Grass/Psychic to begin with
Amphorous the electric lamb suddenly becoming a dragon is the most jarring thing I could ever imagine
Let’s be honest, Mareep and Flaffy look like sheep, Ampharos is clearly on its way to becoming something different.
I think its mega should have been its normal form.
Dragonitenite would be funny, but I hate Dragonite and that would be OP. Maybe I’d like Dragonite more if it EVEN SLIGHTLY RESEMBLED DRAGONAIR
It has a similar snout and a long thin body.
Besides, It makes more sense than Exeggcute growing a body from nowhere.
When it comes to evolutions not making sense
Remoraid into octillery takes the cake
My explanation for that will forever remain that they decided to pair up two unrelated pokemon because they realised G2 had too many single-form pokemon.
That and the gun->turret theory, which sort of makes sense if you’ve ever seen what WWII Japanese island defence artillery looks like.
For crying out loud, remoraid is based on a PISTOL. Octillery is based on a canon. It makes sense. If you ask me Dewott turning into Samurott is the ultimate wtf moment.
I don’t think it lessens Remoraid->Octillery being weird, but I concur, Dewott->Samurott is weirder.
True. They shoulda had a middle stage
Aye.
It actually does SLIGHTLY resemble dragonair. Their over all head and snout shape is the same. And a lot of real life animals change dramatically as they grow. Look at how maggots turn into flies. I still can’t wrap my mind around that
Let’s be honest though. Mega’s are pretty much confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt, and it is very likely that we will be getting mega Jhoto starters, if you are to believe the riddler leaker.
Mega are obviously going to return, but the question is.
Will we get new megas?
Which, I think won’t happen
And I disagree with that. The’re really no reason to say that we aren’t getting new mega’s at the time. its just likely that we’ll get less then we have in the past, mostly because GF doesn’t want to hit their hard cap to early.
My belief in the riddler just went way up. Gimme my megas
Grass/Fairy Meganium
Fire/Rock Typhlosion
Water/Dark Feraligatr
Grass/Fairy Meganium
Fire/Poison Typhlosion
Water/Dark Feraligatr (Gets STAB for Crunch)
Why Fire/Poison though?
And I feel like Grass/psychic is more fitting
I chose Fire/Rock because it’s like a volcano pokemon
True. I chose Fire/Poison because it’s a Porcupine
It’s so not a porcupine and even if it was, are porcupines even poisonous ?
Fire/Rock mega typhlosion needs to happen asap and I would also really like it if we received a johto starter early on in the SnM. I loved that we got TWO starter Pokemon in XY. That was actually one of my most memorable delights of the whole game
CyndaQUIL?
It is a Porcupine and yes they are poisonous
Pretty sure cyndaquil is labeled as the MOUSE Pokemon… But whatever you say buddy 🙂
I’m sorry. You’re right. It’s an Echidna tho.
Porcupines are not ‘poisonous’.
A) Poisonous means deadly when eaten, it does not mean the animal is capable of injecting poison into another animal. The ability to inject poison into other animls (e.g. via fangs, like with some snake species) is called being ‘venomous’
B) Porcupines are not venomous, their spines are just spiky and sharp, they do not inject venom. They do however, get covered in germs and disease that don’t harm the porcupine but cause problems for any animal than gets impaled by the spines.
Ok. Yeah. You’re right about Porcupines not being venomous. But the number 1 definition of poisonous is when taken into the body, but it’s also producing poison as a means of attacking predators or prey; venomous.
Biology makes a distinction between being poisonous and venomous, it’s only through ignorance of the correct terminology that many people take one to mean the other. In a technical setting, using them as synonyms would be unacceptable.
poisonous (comparative more poisonous, superlative most poisonous)
Containing sufficient poison to be dangerous
(of an animal) Inedible due to containing poison; poisonous to eat
Yeah. You’re right. They are not poisonous
It’s not a porcupine. It’s a Honey Badger/Weasel/Stoat.
And porcupines aren’t venomous, they just carry a lot of disease.
You dolt it’s an echidna
GUYS
IT IS CLEARLY A BANDICOOT
It’s a fish!
No, it’s SUPER MAN
http://66.media.tumblr.com/aa9d727c1bbbcb5f8a30946a920d11ce/tumblr_nyjeu2P7Ix1qea7tao1_500.jpg
Now I feel stupid, but yeah. I realized that when I looked at Cyndaquil, but megas could always be something else. It could become a porcupine by getting a wider back with larger flames.
Dear Game Freak…
Just make a Raquazite please
I’d think they’d have to. The only reason Rayquaza didn’t need one was because it swallowed the meteor.
If you watch the mega evolution special you will find out that the rayquazite is too huge to be carried in a bag.
That’s BS tho
And a bicycle isn’t?
I can think of some kind of foldable light alloy bicycle.
A foldable bicycle that will fit next to the downsing machine, the fishing rod, the scuba gear, the contest uniform, the binoculars for seeing invisible pokemon, the flute, the other bike, the box of pokeblocks, the sack fool of soot, and the watering can?
LoL I guess you are right the character kinda does it like Timon and Pumba and just pulls it out. But still Rayquaza’s mega stone is too damn Humongus.
It’s called “hammerspace”

Thank you
Rhydonillum or Rhyhorillum Z
Destroyer Drill!!!!
Am I the only one worried at the prospect that personlised Z moves might be Kanto only?
Pikachu
Raichu
Eevee
Snorlax
…
They seem to be tagging the popular stuff
Well, until I get evidence of a non-Kanto and non-Alola pokemon with a Z move, I’m going to keep this horrifying possibility in my mind.
I’d say it’s likely. For some reason GF hates other Pokemon.
I don’t care about Z moves.
But I do care about Alolan Forms and I’ll be pissed if we don’t get something other than Kanto
Yeah seriously what gives? This is supposed to be the game where everything comes together and yet they just shower is with more biased affection for gen 1 Pokemon.. Who mostly suck anyway
Z moves are going to be forced onto us anyway, the same way megas were.
Except megas were good
I got mixed feelings about this Pokemon Generations. I mean these animated shorts are AWESOME, the same way pokemon origins was, but on the other hand I hate the fact that this is not a regular series. The more I watch it, the more I wish it was! so that’s way I don’t want to get too hyped about it. This is a wasted opportunity, a gold mine….but instead they just want to keep with the current pokemon cartoon with lame Ash and company xD
I’m seriously Amazed whenever someone says that Generation is good. We got 3 shorts with nothing at all. The only good thing we got was the animation.
Sometimes when you’re exposed to something, you can see all of its hidden potential even if it’s just a small glimmer. Judging from these three shorts alone, many of can tell beyond the shadow of a doubt that a full length Pokemon series with this tone, dialogue, story, and animation would be phenomenal. Sorry if you can’t see the vision 🙂
It could be
But it isn’t.
A full-fledged anime based on the games, or preferably pokespe would be a dream come true. But sadly, Generation doesn’t even come close to fulfilling it.
Why can’t we just think what we got was good?
Because it wasn’t :]
I adore the animation. It’s so smooth and just… MMMMM I love it. I’m still on the fence about it. The new one left me a tiny bit thirsty for more. For one, I wish they would just clarify who the champion was beforte Blue, I also wish all of the E4 got as much attention as Agatha. I mean, Lorelei’s breasts were bigger than her character development
Something I hate about all this gen 1 love: they’re catering to their least loyal fans. The genwunners. The ones that haven’t played your games in years, GF! Or maybe it’s for Pokemon GO people, but the main games are vastly different, so they likely won’t even like the main games.
GF is so blind to their fanbase
SERIOUSLY! they need to really get more connected with us and start making decisions based on what WE want
Fans: GF we want the battle frontier!
GF: We’ll put an Easter egg that will make you think DLC is coming, but it never will!
Fans: Give us back difficulty options!
GF: You clearly want easy mode, so we’ll just make ORAS mind-numbingly easy!
Fans: Hey stop giving gen 1 so much love.
GF: Did somebody say “giving gen 1 so much love”?
They’re obviously not if they’re changing up a decade old formula in favor of something new and exciting. Sometimes developers DO know and GameFreak, compared to other companies is obviously much more in tuned with their fan-base then people give them credit for. Maybe they’re not catering to Generation 1, but rather catering to nostalgia itself and want new players, returning players, etc… to re-engage with the original games that made Pokemon what it is today.
I liked the decade old formula ; n ;
‘returning players’ – Genwunners don’t return. Ever.
The thing is
We’ll buy them anyway.
But these GO players won’t unless GF specifically caters to them, hence alolan forms
I’m willing to bet that 90% of Pokemon GO players won’t even buy the games (I mean the ones that only play GO). What confuses me is that time after time they’re catering to their flakiest audience, whether it be young kids, genwunners, and Arceus knows what’ll be next.
I’m officially convinced Shiggy either frequents PJ or Smogon.

Guys did the riddler mention anything about us getting mega Johto starters?
Johto starters were the worst. If anything needs a mega, it’s them. Although I don’t see how we could make those terrible things any better. Unless they get the Mega Beedrill treatment.
I’m assuming you’re looking at this from a purely competative perspective and not a design perspective.
Honestly I’ve just never been a fan of the Gen 2 starters. They were terrible even in-game. Designwise they’re not the greatest either in my opinion. I just felt they were really …. boring.
They’re one of the few starter trios in which there were no members that I disliked.
Interesting. They are only the first set of starters I had issues with. The second set were Gen 5. I just think if the starters aren’t something I’m gonna enjoy using in-game, they don’t appeal to me. Even when not look at them from a competitive standpoint.
I didn’t enjoy playing the Gen 2 games because of that, and Gen 5 thankfully had Pokemon like Excadrill and Scrafty which I enjoyed using, so it made it bearable.
I’ve actually liked the starters of all the other generations (yes, even Delphox was fine).
Delphox wasn’t one I had issue with. I actually regret not choosing Fennekin and wish I’d had Delphox as my starter.
I didn’t like Greninja because of its creepy tongue scarf, I like Chesnaut and Chespin but I feel Quilladin doesn’t fit.
As for the others, I don’t like Samurott, and I’m not a hug fan of Venusaur, Empoleon or Torterra.
Starters are never a game breaker for me, but this time round it’s starting to look like it’ll be the first time where I stick my starter in a box and use only pokemon caught in the wild, but it depends on the second stage forms and whether or not I change my opinion about the final evos after seeing them in game.
Are you kidding? I feel like they’re one of the stronest (not battling, but just in general) trios we’ve gotten.
Nope, just my personal opinion. Never really enjoyed using them.
Hmm. Rating the starter trios from best to worst:
Sinnoh
Kanto
Johto
Hoenn
Kalos
Unova
Hoenn/Sinnoh
Kanto
Kalos
Unova
Johto
My all time favourite individual starter is Blaziken.
I’ll join for the sake of it:
Hoenn
Johto
Sinnoh
Kalos
Kanto
Unova
(With Alola at the bottom unless something changes my mind later)
For me
Sinnoh
Johto
Kanto
Unova
Hoenn
Kalos
I can live with everything but Unova being higher than Hoenn.
That equates to saying Samurott is better than Marshtomp, Serperior is better than Sceptile and Emboar is better than Blaziken.

I can’t believe they missed the chance to call it Gluteus Maximus
The localisation team ruined the name.
The original name was serious.
Like I said, this is the worst localization team we’ve ever had.
They get some bits right (like calling plumeria ‘big sis’) but others are pretty awful (mainly Z moves).
I’m halfand half about wishiwashy. On the one hand it’s a bad name, on the other hand it’s an accurate translation and I can’t think of a better one.
Things I dislike:
– Passimian ISNT A SIMIAN
– Pikipek’s name
– Crabrawler. The words crab and brawler only overlap one letter, I feel like they would’ve done better.
– Lunala isn’t Lunaala
Things I think they did well
– Type: Null’s name seems fitting
– Komala’s name
– Jangmo-o’s name (even though I prefere Jangmo’o)
Things I can’t forgive
– Lycanroc’s name
– Sandygast’s name
To clarify about lycanroc, I realize that a lycanthrope is a werewolf. I just think that Lycanthroc is a better name; at least it has an overlapping letter, it isn’t just two partial words slapped together.
The problem is, it’s only a wolf, it’s not a man.
Lycan = Wolf
Anthros = Man
Lycanthro- = A portmanteau of Lycan and Anthros
I’d be more in agreement if your complaint had been the lack of a ‘k’. (‘Roc’ was a legendary bird, which is unfitting)
The name has problems, I’d rather they’d have just chosen a different name.
Also the lack of “k” confuses me. Is it supposed to be pronounced “Lycan-row-k” or Lycan-rock”?
The latter.
Passimian is a Prosimian
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosimian
-Pikipek doesn’t bother me, but I’m not going to judge it until I’ve seen its other forms.
-Crabrawler I’ll grant you is a bit odd.
-Lunala is a bit of a tough one to call, looking at the Japanese I’m not sure if it’s suposed to be Lu-na-la or Lu-na-a-la
-Type Null is just stupid, but it’s accurate. The Japanese is Taipu: Nuru
-I like Komala’s name. Coma-koala
-Jangmo-o I very much agree with. The original name is Jarako out of interest
-I like Lycanroc, particularly because it uses the word ‘Lycan’ (meaning wolf)
-I agree Sandygast is awful, I’m not a fan of Palossand either
I hope Pikipek’s evolution is named Perpek. I wanna name it Pearlfect

The only thing I hate about those sand ghost are the fact that they have shovels in their heads never really liked any pokemon that hold man made objects.
I agree about pokemon holding man made objects, but in this case I dislike the name and the pokemon designs, shovel or no shovel.
The Lycanthrope reference is cool, but it seems illogical to leave off the “thr” part, esepcailly since rock starts with “r”. Also the Passimian thing is cool, thanks for sharing that with me.
Someone else pointed out the ‘prosimian’ to me the other day because I missed it on my first read of the wikipedia article on Lemurs.
It does sound better, but the reason for leaving it out is (as I mention in my other comment) that ‘antros’ means man, and it’s not in any way human, it’s simply a bipedal wolf.
Out of interest, I just dug up my guess for Rockruff’s evolution’s name and my guess was “Lycanoctis”.
So close 😛

The best moment in a battle on Showdown.

OMG I finally got my hands on a copy of Pokemon Y. I will start a playthrough somewhere next week after I complete other playthroughs. I need suggestions for a team but I know my starter going to be Fennekin and I’ll probably go with Skrelp and Helioptle as well.
Furfrous is pretty good through 3/4ths of the game
Finally? Dude it’s nearing its…..third birthday how do you not have it?
Not everyone was able to get to it at release. I bought Mario 1 almost 30 years after its release
Because my local games store only sold used and new copies of X. I guess nobody wanted to sell their Y lol
That is weird….really weird
My plan is for my brothers birthday (I’m conspiring to buy a 3ds for him more my parents get it than me I get the easy stuff) to give him my X version so he can have a game to play an Sd card and a pre-order of $5 of Sun to set him up.
Definitely use Heliolisk, some Pokemon you should consider is Hawlucha, Aegislash, Gogoat, Florges, Tyrantrum, Avalugg, Sylveon, or Noivern. But hey, it’s all up to you.
I used all of those before in previous X playthroughs except for Florges, Hawlucha and Sylveon xD. I want to use ones I never had before
Delphox
Dragalge
Heliolisk
Florges
Aegislash
Hawlucha
No, drop gogoat for Florges
Have Aegislash and Gogoat on X, so they drop out
Hm..well are you gonna use dragalge as your water type?
Ehm it depends on what moves it can learn. But its Poison/Dragon right?
Yeah, although it starts as a water type, which prompts my question. I probably would, because it can surf but idk!
Well surf isnt that much needed if I recall. I normally dont have main team members learn HMs but Surf is always handy
If Dragalge is water type:
Delphox, Dragalge, Heliolisk, Florges, Hawlucha, Aurorus
If not:
Delphox, Dragalge, Heliolisk, Florges, Hawlucha, Barbaracle
Aurorus is really awesome but its probably gonna be second one cause I already have Aurorus on X. And I might still end up giving Surf to Dragalge, I havent heard much good about Barbaracle tbh
I’ve never had it personally, but Rock types (in my mind) can sub as ground types and considering how there’s only really that ugly rabbit to choose from for ground types, I thought it might round out that team a bit 😛
I love my Huge Power Diggersby 🙁
I just can’t get over the design, I’m sorry!
Eh, I wasn’t sure at first, but I needed a Ground type and started using him, he really grew on me over the course of my playthrough.
Its like the only gen 6 Ground type isnt it?
Yep.
Well, Zygarde
Screaming. A legendary and a faulty rabbit
Lmao I actually used Diggersby till like the 3rd gym or so
Too ugly for me
Dammit, my retcon was working up until that point.
They have an awful habbit of designing decent looking pokemon that evolve into hideous ones.
Ratatta, Glameow, Patrat, Bunnelby, Yungoos (to a point, the Trump memes have made me more accepting of Gumshoos than I would have been otherwise). Except in the case of Furret, where the reverse is true.
Dragalge is Dragon/Poison
Yes but Skrelp is Poison/Water
Yes, but Ultron didn’t say “Skrelp”.
The type change is significant.
Yeah I really meant “If dragalge is acting as your water type” since it starts as a water type and has a good water movepool.
It does, but it would lose STAB upon evolution.
Do you have any suggestions then? So far Helioptle, Fennekin, Skrelp and Hawlucha are pretty much dead certain
Depends what you’ve already used, because a lot of what I would have suggested has already been suggested by Ultron and discounted on the grounds that you’ve already used them in X.
Ugh I forgot XY only has 72
Yup. They were too busy designing megas and making the 3D graphics engine.
Delphox
Dragalge
Heliolisk
Trevenant
Mega Blastoise (maybe for a water type??) or Pangoro
Hawlucha
I finally dug out what my guess was for the name of Rockruff’s evo.
It was “Lycanoctis”.

http://pokejungle.net/2016/08/13/rumor-new-pokemon-sun-moon-information-leaked/#comment-2836169910
Sounds like a combination of a Wolf and Octopus.
“Noctis” is the genitive singular of the latin ‘nox’ meaning night or darkness.
Could have gone for Lycanox but that would have been a bit cliché, though it probably would have been more correct, admittedly.
Oh I know what it means. I used to have a superhero idea called Lycanox. It only really works for Midnight Lycanroc I guess
At the time (1 month ago) we didn’t know Rockruff would get a split evolution, or that one would be a day form and one would be a night form. Heck, lots of people still believed the rumour that it would change type and become a dual type pokemon. 😛
Yeah, I just meant now we know what it is that it would work for that one. If it had been a re-type with Dark I imagine they’d have called it that to differentiate them more.
Yeah. Also I think they might be starting to fear approaching 1000.
It’s gonna happen some time, assuming the series keeps going, which unless the next games do catastrophically low sales, they will be.
The issues are social rather than technical. Unless people are idiots and have got their pokemon databases configured incorectly. They probably either are scared of it because it’s a big number or scared because somewhere they wrote “we promice to stop before 1000” and are worried about breaking the promice.
I guess, it’s their own fault for wasting slots with stuff like Luvdisc.
Yeah. It made me sad when I found out Almomomola wasn’t an evolution of Luvdisc :C
Also I think all Pokemon should be at least two stage, I dislike having single stage pokemon, it feels like a waste.
Whilst I like a lot of one stage Pokémon I kind of agree, though I don’t want a bunch more useless baby Pokémon. Alamomola wasn’t enough like Luvdisc for me, except colour and general body shape, for me to be too bothered by the lack of connection. When I first saw Luvdisc before gen 3 I thought it would evolve into Gorebyss.
Baby pokemon would be less useless if they put them in the wild more. Putting Elekids and Magbys along (e.g.) route 3 of a game would mean they’d become Electabuzz and Magmar by the time you’re part way through and eventually can become Electivire and Magmortar in time to fight the E4.
Don’t forget, aside from the colour and the shape, Alomomola also has the Hydration ability, which is Luvdisc’s hidden ability, so I’d suspect they’re at least related.
I had the same thoughts about Gorebyss until I found out the truth. Clamperl was one of the latest entries into my Ruby/Emerald dexes because I was late finding out about Clamperl’s evolution. I thought it was a single stage for quite a while (this is pre-internet :P)
Yeah but then you still have to trade evolve with items to get Magmortar and Electivire. Would make them a bit better, but I guess they are supposed to be too young to be in the wild for some reason.
We didn’t know Luvdiscs HA before Alamomola was seen, so apart from some similarities it never bothered me.
I just didn’t evolve Clamperl back then because we didn’t know how, until we got one of the unofficial handbooks with Pokémon World (I think) magazine. Which is also when I discovered why Luvdisc wouldn’t evolve. From then on I’ve had some dislike for it, that and now because of Wonder Trade.
Then there’s stillTogepi, Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Azurill, Budew and Riolu. If they were to keep the evolved forms out of the wild it would end up being a much better mechanic.
They are all found in the wild at some point in various games, but usually it’s too late or their adult form is obtainable anyway. E.g. Mime Jr. and Mr. Mime in Reflection Cave in XY
At least Luvdisc are still good for Heart Scales.
Well I guess Wynaut 😉
Heart Scales are their only use for me, even then a different Pokémon could hold it or it could be a different item, mushrooms used to be used for the same purpose iirc.
Wynaut only exists for the purpose of completing the Japanese joke that Wobbuffet started, which sadly got lost in the English translation 😛
I could say the same of many Pokemon.
So Gen 6 apparently blocked the nickname “Barf” so when I was transferring my shiny Dratini and didn’t realize it, it got rid of its name 🙁
That’s really stupid. This is what I mean by “too child friendly”
I know! How is that even something offensive? It was a how to train your dragon reference since shiny Dragonite is green and also ugly :/
Barf = vomit, which is probably considered vulgar by some.
Well those people should get over themselves 😛
Aparently they censored “Sacrament” too.
And a whole load of others.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Glik/List_of_censored_words_in_Generation_VI
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_censored_words_in_Generation_V
I’m particularly upset with them censoring “dio porco”. Pokemon needs more blasphemy.
We literally have a god pokemon and basically a devil, yet our nicknames are “offensive”
If you think that’s bad, at one point nosepass was censored for containing ‘ass’, marshtomp was censored for ‘ars’ and sharpedo was censored for ‘pedo’.
Ugh…how lame
Creating a list of exceptions would munch memory and increase the time taken to validate the names.
Frosslass was censored for containing the word ‘ass’ too.
So was Probopass, I left out at least 7 examples for the sake of brevity 😛
I understand why one would think “Hooters” should be censored… but really?
“delightfully tacky yet unrefined”
Fun fact, the UK has only one Hooters establishment, it’s in Nottingham.
Huh. Good to know.
Anyway. Some of this stuff is horrible (btw, the name “Conan” is censored too)
That’s because it contains ‘con’, which they have an issues with for some reason.
That’s like banning Cheapskate, lie, liar or fraud.
“We should ban con because it’ll make kids want to con people”
Actually it’s because it means ‘idiot’ in french.
That makes more sense, but still… no sense
Oh ok, never mind my question above.
If I could go back I’d name it Rhaegal.
Oh my god you said b**f.
Reported. Mods please ban this foul mouthed individual.
*sarcasm*
I’m sorry! Please don’t ban me T-T

Conspiracy Theory: The gloves caused Ash to always lose the Leagues
Glove pokemon incoming
The Glove Pokemon causes Ash to lose at the Alola league (if there is one)
Actually, those are the Mitts from Legend of Zelda, giving Satoshi power to lift any pokemon!
:O
Omg I knew something was off besides the animation
I have discovered what Type: Null is! (Image)

That is definitely not a fox….As great as the art is, they need to look more closely at how an arctic fox actually looks, because this is a wolf.
Evidently some people think every animal is a wolf.
Yeah…just because they’re in the same family as wolves, doesn’t make them one lol
Probably the same people who think Passimian being a Primate means it’s a Monkey.
And the leaker guy somehow thought it was a Gorilla…
These people need more David Attenborough in their lives.
I knew something about it was a bit off. Still amazing though
Why does it look like Alec Baldwin?
Any drawing requests or anything? Need something to do 😛
A Hydreigon, surrounded by Flygon, Dragonite, and Shiny Charizard Y
Hmmmm how about my Normal/Rock Fakemon Precibex
A towering mountain goat with white and grey fur, and massive horns of stone and hooves of rock
Their rugged hooves enable them to easily scale imposing mountains with ease, stubborn by nature they settle their disputes by headbutting each other off hills with their horns
I love seeing Griffin Fakemon, perhaps you could draw one for me? The typing is up to you and also the concept behind the Griffin is whatever you would like.
Another question: What is one Alola Pokemon that has grown on you? For me it’s Pyukumuku because the whole concept is hilarious yet accurate and the cry makes me laugh each time.
Type: Null. At first I was sorta indifferent but I quite like it now. Hate the name though
What about Null
Short and sweet and edgey as f*k
I like Nulleo, but Null works.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_pointer
Well I kinda got used to Bewear
I cursed its name all day the release
But seeing how thin the big and physically built Alola Pokemon pool is, I am running out of options
It’s name is amazing
Probably Drampa, didn’t like it at all when it was first revealed.
i forgot about the codger

FALKOR!
you keep your phalcor to yourself mister
Fukuryuu->Fuchur->Falkor
phallic
Well that’s just upsetting.
I was going to name mine Falkor. Hoping it’s shiny resembles it more.
Attempting to watch that film is something I regret 😛
Are you also going to call your Lycanroc ‘Gmork’, your Tortunator ‘Morla’, your Mudsdale ‘Artax’ and your Solgaleo ‘Grograman’? XD
Jack Black is in the 3rd one, first film I saw him in. I’d like a better adaptation some day.
No, I haven’t got names for those yet. I may call Mudsdale ‘Clyde’. The only horse I can think of now is Joey from War Horse or the one from Bravestar I can’t remember the name of.
I only ever watched the first, I couldn’t bear any more than that DX
I have also considered ‘Clyde’ for Mudsdale.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_horses
I must admit, Rocinante would probably be my pick. Or Shadowfax. There’s plenty to choose from though.
Shadowfax, Bullseye (Toy Story), Trojan or Bojack seem like ones I might go for. Possibly Whinney for a female.
Opposite for me. I liked it when it was first revealed but now I’m disgusted by it.
Why disgusted?
Because Falkor?
I still love it! Not one U despised at any point this will most likely be my Favorite region!
Bruxish. I still don’t like its antenna, but I’m more accepting of its ugly mouth and loud colouring than I was before.
Everything else I disliked I only disliked for about a day before accepting, or I still dislike it.
Palossand. I felt nothing towards it, then I kept thinking about it pulling things I don’t like into it’s sand-trap and suffocating/crushing them, which began to make me like it more. It’ll probably still suck outside Trick Room, and even in it.
That quicksand motif was something pretty clever for a Sandcastle Pokemon, I also like Palossand too
I think when I saw it devouring Pikachu that started the process of me warming to it. I hope it looks consistently good in motion.
my only dislike for it is that the eyes should always have an angry brow
also the Shovel radar will get very annoying
but nonetheless i must use it in a mono in order to update my title
The eyes make it look like it’s surprised instead of lurking in wait for it’s next victim. I guess Shovel Radar is better than having the Shovel for a nose. I thought it would also have a bucket as part of it’s design somewhere.
I still wish its arms looked more like hands. I would hav preferred it if it had been more like the sand equivalent of Ruin from Dragon Quest: (Image)
http://www.woodus.com/kz/DenImages/DQMBRV_Animations/Ruin.gif
Agreed, it’s design is almost too simple. There is a lot of sand art that has detail that isn’t too much, so it wouldn’t exactly be out of place.
Oranguru.
Komala
Bewear and Stufful, which I’m now pretty much ok with, especially as I love the teddy bear/mascot inspiration, though I still think they’re a rather poor excuse for red pandas, and the combination of ideas could really have been done better. Stufful’s head/mouth is still weird, but now I’ve completely integrated it as pokémon in my mind at least.
The UBs, whatever they are, have yet to grow on me though.
Stufful’s pitiful flailing I can live with, the only thing that makes me dislike it (apart from the mouth and disproportions, which I can live with) is the label sticking out of its backside.
Omg the tag is cute though.
I’ve never liked having labels on actual soft toys, never mind a pokemon (which is supposed to be a living, breathing animal-like creature. The tag is made of flesh.)
I completely get the hate for the tag, but I dunno, for some reason I love the fact they left this completely inorganic poor design element just to make it a fully fledged living teddy. Stufful’s already such a mess in my eyes that the awkwardness of this label only sort of adds to the charm for me.
Definitely these for me as well. That was the biggest transition from “hate it” to “love it” I’ve had in Gen 7 (particularly for Bewear). That name just does it wonders.
popplio’s final evo
The only thing I ever had against that one is the hair. I don’t like the double set of hair ties.
Yasss finally someone understands
Yeah, the hair ties are just weird.
None I love them all but one that less than a day after shown in Corocoro I love you bed was Mimikyu
Even Alolan Raticate and Bruxish?
Yes even them
For me, both bewear and mimikkyu
Popplio
There’s not really one that comes to mind. I either like or dislike all of them with no middle ground. But for the most part, I really do appreciate all the new Pokemon of gen 7… I think the only one that will absolutely never grow on me is rowlets final Evo… Which is sad because I love rowlett but me no want some hooded bow and arrow humanoid stilt owl. I wanted something more animalistic but whatever
nyrghhhjh Earthen bored….. we’re a solid 10 days until more info which is a long time…..
This is starting to get me thinking. They’be been doing weekly updates for quite a while now, and next week they choose to be silent. I would have expected information on the 28th or 29th following the normal pattern, but they’re waiting until the following Tuesday. Could this finally be the week that the NX is announced? Unless they just want to build up suspense, there must be something else taking up Tuesday and/or Thursday. But that’s just another Xatu conspiracy theory.
Inb4 the NX is spherical.
In all seriousness, I don’t think they’ll be announcing the NX this side of Christmas.
Should I take that statement literally? You truly don’t believe it will be talked about in 2016 after it’s been stated repeatedly by authority figures? It would be ridiculous to give the NX any less than five months between reveal and launch.
All we’ve had is small interviews/mentions here and there, nothing major. Besides which, Nintendo chooses when to reveal, not the 3rd parties.
Also they’ve got investors meetings scheduled for October, so it will probably still be ‘secret’ at that point in time.
I’d guess November at the earliest if you’re lucky.
But then again, I haven’t been following any news about it other than when the patent got filed. I’ll wait until it’s been revealed and they’re announcing games before I take anything more than a passing interest, especially after the WiiU being so unimpressive.
There’s already an Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct scheduled for early November, so I sort of doubt they would use that month. They couldn’t go any later than early November anyway because of election coverage, NES Classic Edition release, and general Christmas antics (unless they pair the announcement with Super Mario Run). The investor’s meeting really is their deadline in this case. I guess it’s possible that they could announce a December reveal date in the investor’s meeting, but that just seems really weird. Those people will want to know exactly why Nintendo is making the decisions they are making by seeing the system on that date.
The next Japanese election isn’t due for another 2 years.
It doesn’t have to be revealed by the investor’s meeting, they’ve already shown it to Ubisoft before the reveal, that could have been a ploy to get other investors interested so they can show it to the investors before revealing it to the world. It would give them chance to get feedback about what investors don’t like so they can change it before it’s actually revealed.
Revealing it after Christmas or around New Year would be a good tactic, especially since this is supposed to be rumoured to be a ‘reboot’ for Nintendo. New year – new Nintendo.
Plus people will be playing pokemon over December and they’ll probably want to wait untill all the 20th anniversary events are over so they haven’t got too much going on concurrently.
And there’s two bank holidays right after new year’s day, so it’s reasonable to expect people will be at home resting and watching TV before they go back to work, which would be a good time to unveil it.
i think they are just spreading out info more. even the anime is delayed
I reviewed recent information trends to see if this October 4th reveal could hold any hints about a Nintendo Direct of some kind next week. I feel like it does. The middle of August was very busy: Tortunator was revealed on the 18th and Crabrawler was revealed the next day on the 19th (along with Sandygast and Palossand). After that, we were left in the dark for 11 days until the 3DS Direct was announced. This was after a steady stream of information (almost weekly) dating all the way back to June, just before E3. I’d like to make it clear: they have given us 14+ day gaps before, but each time is has happened there has ALWAYS been a bigger reason.
So…..You’re saying you think we’ll get something big on the 4th? lol
Yeah, I think that they’ll give us something good for waiting for so long. But I also think that the NX could be revealed on the 29th or 30th. Maybe.
At this point I’ve given up trying to guess when the NX is going to be revealed…..They REALLY need to show it off, but every time people have said it was about time for them to do so they didn’t…soooo…… yeah lol Anyway I’d imagine as far as Pokemon go we’re getting closer to the point when they’ll reveal the starters first evo. I think when they do that we’ll get further hints towards the final evos and a better idea whether we’re getting single forms for them or split forms life Lycanroc.
Well nothing says goodnight like a well fought battle
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-444356456
On monotype, do you pick your Pokemon or does it pick for you?
My Earthen Warriors rough and true
I noticed a new (probably insignificant, yet interesting) detail while observing the Aether Foundation employees. Both of them, in addition to Lusamine, Wicke, Faba, Lillie, and Gladion have distinct difference in their eyes that no other character has. The glare is very prominent and looks almost artificial. Normally I would’ve just chalked it up to a stylized glare, but then why do no other characters have it? Not the players, nor the professor, the mother, the trial captains, Hala, Hau… No one except those with ties to Aether. I’m guessing that they’re altering their own genes and this somehow ties in with the UBs, hence their resemblance to certain humans.
You’re totally right, they all have tiny pupils and a glazed look in their eyes. Either they’re aliens acting like humans or they’re robots. Sounds kind of insane, actually.

Creative juices were a flowin. And thanks to TheOneIntegral’s video about Beast vs Humanoid forms for Sun and Moon, I did beast versions of the final evo concepts.
If Litten3 was like that I’d def choose it
That’s the sad thing. I don’t like them at all. Not one single. They’re boring as hell and feel so lazy creatively, but I know this is what everybody wants. And it sucks, cause I play pokemon to play with otherworldly creatures. Not just animals.
These don’t do it for me
Just everyone’s tiger Fakemon
A plant owl
And whatever the last thing is
Thank you. I don’t like them either, but I know this is what everybody wants. And it sucks, cause I play pokemon to play with otherworldly creatures. Not just animals.
If that top one was Litten’s final form I’d totally choose Litten.
Much better than what Gamefreak did to it.
That’s the sad thing. I don’t like them at all. They’re boring as hell, but I know this is what everybody wants. And it sucks, cause I play pokemon to play with otherworldly creatures. Not just animals.
So basically you want bipedal furries everywhere?
I don’t really care. We’ve had humanoid and unatural pokemon since Gen 1, which is why I question when this taste for animalistic designs started.
Erm… *looks at Blastoise, Charizard, Persian and Pikachu*
A turtle with cannons on it’s back standing on 2 legs, a freaking dragon, and a mouse with red cheeks and a lightning bolt tail also standing on two legs. Totally natural. That and Persian is just a big cat, and how many people do you see so much as talking about him till now that he might get an alolan form? Yeah, Persian was pretty forgettable.
They’re no more different from the animal they’re intending to be than the drawings here.
Persian was not forgettable, everyone remembers Persian as being Giovanni’s pet Pokemon.
Let’s look at some others though.
Pidgey, a brown pidgeon.
Rattata, a purple rat.
Ekans, a purple snake.
Sandshrew, a regular shrew.
Zubat, a regular bat.
Mankey, aside from having its head and body combined, it looks pretty much like a normal monkey.
Magnemite is a metal ball, some magnets and some screws.
Golem is a boulder with a head.
All the early pokemon were simple, as have many others been over the years.
Heracross, Delcatty, Infernape, Archeops, Meowstic, Komala.
The only difference between the final of Litten and the version presented here is that one is bipedal and has a belt, and one is quadrupedal and has a spinal attachment instead. It’s enough to make it look better though.
Well of course your supposed recognize the animal within the designs, but don’t let it be something that you just see in everyday life otherwise it’s forgettable, which is why I like the evolved forms of the pokemon you mentioned. They have personality along with the animal inspired design. Same for pokemon like Heracross and Infernape. They keep of balance of looking unatural but your still able to recognize what animal it’s based off of. What most of you are looking for is just an animal, but on fire.
I just want it quadrupedal and not a wrestler.
They managed to make Solgaleo quadrupedal and good looking, I don’t know why they’re so terrified of making a quadrupedal starter.
I admit that design in particular is lacking a bit of detail, but there are plenty of excellent alternatives out there.

http://otakukart.com/animeblog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/unnamed-2-300×267.png
Heck, there’s even a few bipeds that actually look reasonably decent:
http://orig02.deviantart.net/3af9/f/2016/156/0/5/litten_evolution_firoothless_by_scottahemi-da534ex.png
It’s not that they’re terrified. They just want to let the starter’s be their own things. Have their own themes and personalities.
They’ve never had a quadrupedal fire type, the closest they came was Typhlosion, and that spends most of its time upright.
They almost certainly have some bizarre rule about it.
It’s kind of unfair to say that since most of the fire starters are based off bipedal creatures to begin with. A dragon (which can be either or), and badger (can stand on it’s hind legs), a chicken, and a monkey. It was only Gen 5 where it started getting unatural with designs.
Badgers are classed as quadrupeds.
Monkeys tend to be knuckle-walkers.
Pigs are definate quadrupeds, as are foxes. Delphox is excusable because it’s supposed to be based on a mythical shapeshifting fox that was said to walk on its hind legs.
They had no excuse with Litten. All cats are quadrupdeal and can’t stand on their hind legs for more than brief periods of time.
This is why I said they can only stand on hind legs. Even though they’re quadrapeds they can still stand on the hind legs.
And you see plenty of monkeys walk on just two legs as well
Like I said said, Emboar is where it started to break from it’s natural counter part.
And to compliment on the shapeshifting fox thing for Delphox, there are myths in Japan about domesticated cats that stand on two legs and achieve human like tendencies called nekomatas. There are variants called mountain nekomatas that are much more wilder and come from wild cats like tigers for instance. They are much more ferocious like what you see from the wrestler, and can even shapeshift into humans which you see in the humanoid design. So yeah, Litten3 also matches a particular myth.
Not for long periods though, only to catch scens in the air.
I could stand on all fours longer than a badger could stand on two.
Depends on the species, not many do, and those that do still have to keep their arms quite low. Most can only manage it because they use their tail for balance.
I am well acquainted with nekomata (which is both singular and plural because it’s a loan word from Japanese). For example Espeon is based on a nekomata, hence the split tail.
However, Litten probably isn’t based on a nekomata, if it were they would have given it a more spiritual theme, or at the very least not turned it into a wrestler. They are ferocious, but they share very little in common with wrestlers.
Did you not see what I put down about mountain nekomatas?
Yes, I don’t think it’s good enough justification. Mountain nekomata are ferocious and animalistic, wrestlers are actors in fancy dress.
They are large, ferocious, can shapeshift into humans (in other words humanoid), and are very violent. The wrestler theme is only to match up with all those aspects. It just makes sense conceptually.
That justifies it being bipedal, but not it being a wrestler.
You’re missing the point. I guess you just have to be a designer to understand.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Designs are all very much relative, there’s no such thing as a good or bad design when it comes to imaginary creatures.
I 100% agree with you. That tiger looks so boring to me. The Owl and Sea lion are fine i guess, but damn that thing is just a tiger, that’s it….nothing stands out about it.
Sure it could use a bit more detail, but it’s definately better as a quadruped.

Those look darn near the same as what I just drew, and I already said my thoughts on those.
If you think giving it sabretooth fangs and fire on its back aren’t ‘different’ enough then clearly what you actually want it to have is clothing.
I don’t mind it being a quadruped, but at the very least give it some defining features. Some of my least favourite Pokemon are ones that are just simply real life animals.
If anything I prefer the simpler ones, like Heracross and Espeon.
They managed it with Solgaleo, I don’t see why they struggled with Litten’s final form.
I like Heracross. I’m indifferent about Espeon (more of an Umbreon guy myself). I don’t mind them being simple (in fact i prefer simple), but I just want them to have some defining feature to keep them from being too generic (Blastoise Canons, Venusaur Flower, Scrafty Pants e.t.c)
Aside from the markings, Umbreon looks pretty much like a normal animal.
That’s fair enough, but (as Umbreon proves) sometimes those things can be as simple as markings. The one knightwolf posted has a thing on its spine and some significant markings.
The first one I posted has sabretooth fangs and a fire running down its back, and the second has fire shaped fur. I also posted a few further down with some significant stuff.
I must admit, I’ve never liked Scrafty, primarily because of its weird clothing. I don’t like pokemon with clothing. Tools I don’t mind (Oshawott’s shell, Farfetch’d’s leek) but in most cases I don’t like clothing, especially since it’s usually implied to be made of skin/flesh and not material of some kind.
The shortness of the episodes make them sweet. I randomly showed my friend episode 3 and he hasn’t played pokemon since gen 3 and he said it was really good.
Need new info…
Not too long to wait! Also welcome to the site 🙂
But 9 days IS too long!!! D:
Glad I have unfinished games to look forward to to keep me entertained lol
The way Alakazam dropped Lapras. Seriously epic. Just wish we saw the Gengar battle!
I feel like this episode should have been at least long enough to get something out of the battles. They were basically just showing Blue fainting one Pokémon for each E4 and moving on. And I was also hoping they’d show who the previous champion was.
I think he was the first champion
This is a pretty neat idea for a regional variant of Charizard X. No idea how that would work but looks cool!

(Refresh)
I did the same thing with a picture of some reddish sauce stuff 😛
Only thing I ever disliked about the black Charizard was the flames coming out of its mouth. If they got rid of those I’d almost prefer it.

Whoa…..the layout is a little bit different…lol
I’m loving this new layout, guys! It’s not much different but it feels cleaner.
The new layout looks so purty! <3 <3 <3
I like it but I flipped out thinking my IPod had glitched!
I haven’t noticed anything different about the layout.
Presumably the changes only affect phone or small resolution browsers.
I’m on my mobile
Yeah, probably only affects portrait/small res/phone then.
Nah, it’s a full update. It should be visible to you soon.
What exactly do the changes consist of?
It’s possible it has changed and I’m just ignorant.
(There is a reason I chose to do programming and not web development after all :P)
Umm, it’s a full change. But it looks fairly similar to how it looked previously 🙂
Well, the background and the disqus comment area look the same, which is where I spend 80% of my time on Pokejungle.
Eh, I dunno, I’m probably being ignorant.
I’ll include an image just to make sure:
http://i.imgur.com/FYlpEeD.png
I can’t see any difference.
Hahaha, yeah. It has changed. You obviously just don’t pay much attention. 😉
I can’t see anything that’s changed.
The background is the same, the logo is the same, the navbar is the same and the pictures look the same.
It has definitely changed. It’s more noticeable on mobile phones, but you can still see the changes on a computer.
What’s changed exactly?
It looks pretty much the same as it did when I left last night.
From what I can tell:
-The site name at the top is now aligned to the left.
-The tabs on the brown bar at the top are now only 3, pretty sure there were more before.
-The main article image now says who wrote the article, the date and how many comments there are.
-Fonts have changed slightly (some look heavier e.t.c)
– All articles on the main page, have dates visible
– Advertisement look very different
Like i said, they are not major, but still noticeable.
On phones, the article and comments section now fill the width of the screen.
-The left alignment might be new, but I’m sure it was like that last night.
-There were definately only 3 options last night or the night before, I know because I used them to access the forums.
-That’s plausible, I never take much notice of who wrote the article until I get to the end.
-Sans serif fonts tend to be much of a muchness.
-Again, plausible, I tend not to look at that information.
I never use phones to look at internet articles, so it’s probably more of a phone thing.
I can’t be 100% certain of all the specific changes since I have no picture from last night to compare it to. But I am definitely seeing and feeling some overall changes as i’m using the site.
I guess it depends on the different ways people perceive things.
Some people can spend an entire day in a room and not be able to tell what colour the walls were. Whereas others will tell you with confidence they were white.
Welp, feels the same to me.
I don’t tend to spend much time up the top anyway.
I’d probably take more notice of a room since it’s a physical location and intended to have aesthetic qualities, but to me websites are just interfaces to data – I care about the data more than what colour the website is.
I’m on a laptop, and the homepage is different for me but not really the article itself.
The only difference I’ve noticed is the instagram thing at the bottom, so it’s possible it has changed and I’m just ignorant.
(As I said to moving, there are reasons I chose to stick to client-side programming and not get involved in web development.)
Here’s a before [left] and after [right]:
http://i.imgur.com/OydLDck.png
Weird, I’ve had the Rockruff theme for several days.
Dang this new layout is pretty cool, nice simple and modern in a way.
We’ve still got work to do on it, but it should stay mostly the same!
Keep up the great work!
I love how my Alpha Sapphire team is shaping up! Mind you, some might be replaced at one point.
Swampert
Cradily
Gallade
Aggron

Slaking/Swellow
This new layout <3 It really looks super nice!
I could live with this being Pikipek’s evo.

I want a Steel/Flying drillpecker
I can live with that being presented to me as a nice sunday roast
*serves you roasted Pochyena instead*
It’s too bland IMO. It’s like a mix of Talonflame and Swellow.
I’m open to better offers.
I liked Talonflame anyway.
I figured I’d come here for this, uh, do any of you guys have a meloetta, darkrai or keldeo you are willing to trade?
If you wait a few months you can get Keldeo and Meloetta from the 20th anniversary events.
The Darkrai event ended a while back I think, but you could always see if the code will still work.
Well I didn’t get a darkrai code and the other two I could only get if they were mystery gift…
The Darkrai2016 code still works for 5 more days
It doesn’t really matter cuz I don’t have one
No you can insert this code via mystery gift>get with code. You dont have to pick up one from a store this way
The code “darkrai2016”?
Yes
It says “your game can not recive the Pokemon this code provides
It’s probably region locked.
I forgot to mention its Australia and Europe only
Welp, I live in America.
The other two are mystery gift but they haven’t happened yet.
So the real question is, is anyone willing to trade a darkrai, even if I give it back, I just need it to complete my dex.
Probably someone will.
I’m still not ready to trade with anyone because I don’t want my name revealed.
Do you put your first and last name in or something?
Just my first name, but I still don’t want my name widely known.
Ok, that’s fine, I don’t know how many people would be widely knowing it on Pokejungle at this hour but I guess I play under a pseudonym anyway :p
It just takes one person to let it slip on Disqus and then it’s automatically accessible to anyone in the world.
Hmm… Not to press if you don’t want to trade anyway but, is there anyway to pm you or anything?
I have an account on the forums if need be, but I’m still not ready to do any trading. I might change my mind someday, but for now trading is off the table.
I’m hoping to go and play Skyrim in a minute anyway, as soon as things here quieten down.
Hey where have you been?
I stopped coming for a while because disqus is really broken for me, I also have a had a ton of work lately.
Unpopular opinion here it seems: I miss the old format. :/
I prefer the old format for mobile phones.
But the new one is good on the computer.
I still can’t see much difference.
I’m still praying they’ll change that background though, the current one hurts my eyes.
They should make an option to make the site dark or bright (sun and moon backgrounds)
I’ve got no issue with bright white backgrounds, but they’ve got this big image that’s bright yellow/red on the left and bright cyan/blue on the right, and it’s quite a low resolution so it ends up being pretty glaring.
Here’s a screenshot:
http://i.imgur.com/FYlpEeD.png
I thought it was an error on my phone. I haven’t seen it on the computer yet.
It seems I’m probably the only one on computer and I didn’t notice much difference.
They’ve still got that red and blue background, everything else is pretty much in the same place.
They’ve got an instagram thing down at the bottom but it’s not very noticeable in typical use.
I would be on the computer but the wifi on it is malfunctioning so I’m using my phone for now
+1-> Computer > Phone
I would, except my laptop is completely shot and the only other computer is a family computer, so it’s mobile for me.
I’m on computer as well, and I definitely noticed the changes from when I was last on yesterday
What sorts of changes?
I just notice it. They are not big changes, but still enough for me to notice them, especially cause I am a person who notices the little things that change.
Chaos mentioned the ones I noticed myself, so I honestly don’t want to repeat them.
Nothing of any particular importance then 😛
Well yeah, that’s kind of what they are trying to do. Just make it better through small changes. It doesn’t look all that different from the old one, just sleeker imo. We weren’t talking about a huge change of layout, just a slightly changed version of the old one.
It just looks off and different to some, especially when you’ve grown so used to it.
Same. Something similar happened to me a while ago and it was just a glitch, so I dismissed it at first.
What don’t you like?
It’s hard to pin it down honestly. I thought the old format looked very organized and professional, while this one seems like a step down. I guess if I could pin it down it’d be the line below the article’s main image, and the actual article itself. I liked that line, it made it feel organized.
Ah, well this isn’t final! This was just put up to get a feel for it. We’ll be tweaking and changing things. 🙂
I think that’s just the style modern websites have decided to adopt. Personally I don’t like the approaches modern website designers take.
Then again, I think http://www.stroustrup.com/ and wikipedia are well designed, so I think my tastes are probably the opposite of actual website designers.
i was watching youtuber aDrive talk about the riddler leak, and he mentions that the area below showcasing all the older pokemon with some faded in and out may be what is included in alola’s regional dex. I think he may be right, and I also feel the pokemon that are not faded out are available for pokeride, as we can see lapras sharpedo charizard tauros and stoutland are all colored in pokemon. unless I missed something and someone already figured out something different about them.
Pretty much all of the non-grey ones have appeared in trailers at some point, usually in battle, but also not in battle.
holy crap the vote button works on non mobile devices!
Oh good, it wasn’t just me that managed to get it working.
The working vote button is easily the best change of all.
I know this is unrelated to Pokemon but RIP Jose Fernandez.
Baseball player, dead at 24 in a boating accident.
The logo is too small on the top of the site
The tab icon is a mushroom instead of a pokemon too, and the background is still glaring, but the vote button is working, so the other issues are mininmal.
The tab icon has been the Sewaddle Mushroom for at least 3 months now.
It looks like a 1-up mushroom rather than a pokemon.
I think that was when pokemon news was slow so pokejungle started doing nintendo stuff.
Strange.
It’s very unfitting, they should get a new one.
Please remember we’re not finished yet 🙁
This is why we’re giving you feedback. xD
I’m just giving you a suggestion. It looked better sprawled across the middle of the top. 😉
ME NOT LIKE DIFFERENT
http://i.imgur.com/Wq8jZNU.gif
https://youtu.be/ZgIrXKpv2gw
Made me think of that lol.
Gary is an idiot O.O lol but here he is better…..
Shovel Knight is an NPC in Yooka Laylee <3
http://nintendoeverything.com/shovel-knight-will-be-in-yooka-laylee/
Yeah. I saw this when I woke up and went on Youtube. I was like “Whoa. Why is Shovel Knight so shiny?”
If you could completely erase any one Pokemon, what would it be? Sure, you could get rid of Dunsparce or Qwilfish or Stunfisk, but what would that even accomplish?
I just want to see Porygon2 burn. x.x
Probably the klink line or Hypno
? How dare you kill my favorite normal type!!
But I am in favor of let’s get rid of Maractus it has no value in the games cause let’s see
– 10% chance of finding
– Is a big ripoff of Cacturn
-only appears in an area of the game that many people miss if they aren’t looking
-has worst Grass type design from Gen.5
-Most forgettable Pokemon (according to many YouTubers even)
-Horrible stats
-Sooo many Pokemon can have a bigger role in a team to it
-It’s pure grass (should have gotten Fairy type)
-It’s a standalone
I think I’ve made my point it should be erased
I feel like the Finneon line is more forgettable, but maybe that’s just me.
If I wouldn’t have seen and caught one in my first Diamond play I would firget it too
I liked Finneon, Neon Tetras are cool.
Why the hell should that thing be a Fairy
Seriously why
It’s the only type that looks like it would fit cause not one type I can think I fit its description except fairy
Water or Ground fit it better, ’cause it’s a Cactus 😉
It could but it just doesn’t scream those types with design but I agree it should be one of those
grrrrrrrggh i swear everything has to be a fairy to you wackos
I would like Fairies a lot more if they were as elusive as Ghosts and Dragons, but they’re just throwing the typing around just to make up for the lack of Fairies. When Dark and Steel were introduced we only had a small handful of each, but the populations grew steadily over time.
It’s a little late for them to steadily grow and most Fairies make sense they all share the… You guessed it Fairy egg group making them fairy
Dude it has Flowers…
Flowers=Pretty=Fairy
Henceforth it looks like Fairy type
it has 2 measly flowers on its cranial lobes and that’s where you get fairy….
that just makes me angrier
Pretty=Fairy pretty or cute Pokemon are almost always fairy there are exceptions though also Pink normally = Fairy
all the more reason to try to split your skull with a cleaver
No existing Fairy types have flowers incorporated into their bodies. The Flabébé line carries them and exists symbiotically with them, but the flowers aren’t part of them like they are with Maractus.
thank you
Pretty= Fairy
Flowers=Pretty
So flowers that are pretty can be fairy simple as that
Worst reasoning ever.
Ok I admit I’m wrong but at least realize Maractus needs more than one type it has the most fragile type (shared for most fragile with Rock with 5 weaknesses each) and it’s pure typing mix with stats makes a bad matchup
Maractus did indeed get the short end of the Grass type, but saying Grass is one of the most fragile because of its weaknesses isn’t correct. They may not be physically powerful, but a large portion of Grass types are status beasts that can whittle anything down in time, reflecting the real-world longevity of nature.
True Rock is pretty fragile compared it’s kind of a weaker form of Ground
I see the point you’re making, but it’s not the strongest point. If that reasoning held true Bellossom, Cherrim, Sunflora, and Roserade would be Fairies. My point is that flowers are more linked with Grass, prettiness is subjective, and if Fairies were pretty, then why isn’t Milotic – the prettiest Pokemon – a Fairy?
GF does dumb things at times yet it still needs some new typing like Monkeyfuzz said make it Ground or Water then it can have coverage to make up for it
Oh right and more
– It’s only episode in the anime sucked really bad!
-it’s not very nice looking looks ugly
-shiny looks creepy
It’s cry’s bad too
Well Maractus is my favorite Grass type, so I guess we’re even! 😉
I just don’t like Porygon2 in terms of battling. Those suckers are annoying. I personally think the most forgettable Pokemon is Chimecho. I love it, but its existence often surprises me.
Well let’s agree to disagree cause everyone has their opinions but in forms of annoying Pokemon let’s get Golbat the annoying Bat
I vote get rid of Zubat and Golbat, and make Crobat standalone. :p
Cause Golbat and Zubat are annoying to fight, and suck at battling with a trainer
Then Crobat
Annoying only when it out speeds you but it’s more impressive than annoying so yes I agree
I use it with no evolite to prove a point that it’s good without as well
Complete agreement.
Audino, I’ve never had any love for that useless Chansey clone, to me it’s only ever been a waste of pokedex space. I guess it’s mega made it somewhat more agreeable, but if I had to get rid of one pokémon (a concept I really don’t like to think of tbh, because thought actually goes into every single pokémon, and I think you can find design value even in your least favourite if you take a closer look), it would definitely be that one.
I actually would’ve agreed with you a week ago, but after starting a nuzlocke in Black, I’ve really made use of the little EXP ‘mons. I also dislike the name because “I dunno” is the last thing you want to hear a nurse say.
Yeah, it is useful for exp farming, but it’s basic gameplay role doesn’t really justify wasting a spot on such a bland design IMO, they could have made a much better exp tank to my tastes.
What exactly could they make though? No particular elements correlate to EXP in my eyes, so I don’t know if I could ever be 100% satisfied.
Oh, nothing specifically relating to exp, just something more worthwhile than Audino could have filled that role is what I meant.
I’m still holding out hope that one day we’ll get a dunsparce evo. I really wish we had another gen like 4.
Oh, I’d erase Bewear. Yes, before the games even came out. I hate the thing with a burning passion.
I dislike its lack of emotion, but that might change when I see it in action. I always like to give every Pokemon a chance, and it usually helps me like them more after I’ve used them myself.
It’s the worst pokemon design I’ve ever seen. Without a doubt, even compared to the likes of trubbish and grimer. With a few minor tweaks, I might even like Bewear, but there are so many things that seen off to me.
It’s so “smooth”, for lack of a better word. It would be much better with some fur because as it is, it looks almost artificial.
Bewears design isn’t nearly as bad as fucking pallosand and sandyghast. Even the names are horrendous
Gothitelle’s line.
Or Drapion (though it is growing on me)
Or Heatmor (though it is growing on me too).
Garbador, samurott, emboar, serperior, greninja, molletta, kinkklang, and about 5 others that I can’t think of
And heatmor, arceus, and genesect
I respect your opinion, but I do not understand your taste in pokemon
Some of my favorites are Blaziken, pikachu, gengar, metagross, alakazam, empoleon, infernape, blastoise, flygon, ray quads, mew two, lucario, Zoroaster, riverside, chestnaught, and steelix.
Wow autocorrect sucks. I meant roserade. Not river side. Oh and porygonZ is great
I agree with so many of these. Though klinklang and the gen 5 starters have grown on me. I love Greninja. Heatmor is growing on me like a snail races.
Jynx! I can’t stand that weird ass Pokemon. Why Porygon2? It’s actually one of my favourite Pokemon. I would get rid of Samurott also.
Like I said below, it’s only because it’s a pain in the neck to battle. I curse the developer who thought the Eviolite was a good idea.
That’s true eviolite Porygon2 is very bulky. Not as bad as eviolite Chansey tho lol.
I like Porygon2, the other 3 I wouldn’t mind (though I’m a bit more sympathetic to Dusparce because of all the jokes about it).
Aside from the final form of Litten and UB02A…
There’s a lot of Kanto pokemon I’d like to get rid of, like the Machop line, but I won’t list all of them or I’ll be sat here for another hour while other people chime in to tell me how wrong I am.
There’s a lot of stuff from other generations too, but after 10 minutes of thinking I’ve settled on Cryognal.
It just serves no purpose, it’s got a weird string of beads for a mouth and it doesn’t even know what it’s supposed to be. It’s only got one (rather useless) ability, it’s stats are completely ridiculous (135 sp def but 30 def) it’s got 1 resistance and 4 weaknesses. It somehow knows solar beam despite its pokedex entry claiming it turns into steam if it gets too hot, and dear god what is wrong with its shiny form!?
Lol I always thought cryogonal should be part ghost but either way I never minded it or cared for it. Just never ever gave it much thought
It’s also one of the few genderless pokemon to learn attract.
Seriously, we need to get rid of it 😛
OMGOMGOMGOMG

Hey can the next mascot on top be a Bounsweet if it’s Evo pops up in the news?!
Just signed up for Amazon Prime, which means I get almost $20 off Sun and Moon. I think Best Buy does the same Preorder deal with their gamer program, but Prime is a better deal, imo.
Is anyone here familiar with how the My Nintendo rewards program chooses rewards? I want to know how likely it’ll be that a Sun/Moon discount will be offered as I’ve got 1,130 points saved up and nothing I want to buy.
I’m loving the new mobile look of PokeJungle. It’s a serious improvement to the older interface.
Anyways, after hunting for NX information, I finally found something interesting. There was recently a job opening from Nintendo for someone that excells at GPGPU and Heterogeneous Computing. These terms are rather interesting because it’s what AMD names those process. Everyone knows that AMD and Nvidia chips work similarly, but if Nintendo was really using Nvidia, why would they use AMD’s termonlogy. Nvidia calls these process: GPU Accelerated Computing and Heterogeneous HPU. To explain what these parts do: GPGPU allows the GPU to take some of the computing from the CPU and Hetero. Computing allows for x86 and ARM architecture to be easily developed for and it allows them to share informetion, apps, and software without the developer having to do annoying, extensive porting or optomizing.
This is beginning to show that the NX is a separate handheld and console that share information between each other. The console is likely AMD CPU and GPU (x86 architecture), with the handheld having an ARM CPU and DMP GPU. It also falls in line with the recent Pokemon CEO comment, Ubisoft’s comment, and numerous developers stating the NX was easy to develop for. Honestly, I doubt a hybrid system is even happening as Nintendo said the NX might incorporate multiple devices and that they want to do something similar to Apple, by having all devices work in harmony with different power, similar interface, and form-factors. I expect to see the NX sometime between September 26th and October 10th based on other rumours. Nintendo is running out of time to show the thing off.
Wow… cool detective work. I certainly hope it’s only 1 form factor though….
“Heterogenous computing”
Aka, two types of processors e.g. a CPU and a GPU or having one processor for the new stuff, one for backwards compatibility. (Like they’ve been doing for years.)
“GPGPU”
Aka, using the graphics processor for non-graphics calculations, e.g. general vectorised floating point operations.
It doesn’t guarantee AMD.
Those two terms are actually the correct terms for the concepts.
In fact, it was Mark Harris, ‘Chief Technologist for GPU Computing’ at Nvidia that actually came up with the term “GPGPU”. Nvidia CUDA is an example of a GPGPU system in use by Nvidia for example. As is OpenCL (a non-vendor-specific GPGPU language).
GPGPU has nothing to do with x86 or ARM since GPUs don’t use x86 or ARM instruction sets. It’s plausible there might be some systems that attempt to translate x86 or ARM into the instruction set used by the GPU, but typically GPGPU functionality is achieved through specialised languages like OpenCL.
Again, GPUs do not run x86 code. It’s possible that they might use AMD CPUs (which run on an x86-64 ISA), ARM CPUs (ARM is the same ISA the DS variants run on) and a DMP GPU (assuming DMP is ‘Digital Media Professionals’), but there is no GPU that uses the x86 ISA.
I just realized this guys mouth (Rf)

Say cheese!
This is a bad design imo
Compared to Sharpedo’s mega form it’s the lesser of two evils.
Is it me or do the advertisements seem more common and “in your face” with the new interface…?
Definitely not just you. Another reason I dislike this new format.
To give an example, there is an add inbetween the video and text for me. Smack dab in the middle of the article, which the old format never did.
The ad at the top of the page is larger than the actual Pokejungle logo, which is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.
I haven’t noticed any differences with the ads.
They’re all in still in the same place they were before. At the the bottom and away from anything important.
I guess you’re on your phone?
It’s because there’s an ad right next to the main logo and it takes up more space than said logo
This website redesign is weird but Disqus looks much better
I don’t notice any changes in Disqus . . .
Alright I’ll come clean I made some bad moves with my reasoning behind Maractus a fairy type, but come on GF give it another type to make it a helpful Allie cause why would someone try to use a Grass type that has somewhat less decent stats than most others and has a weakness to 5 types be useful like make it Grass/Ground think it’s better than Fairy idea cause reasons
-Lives in Desert
-needs another type to help it stay up
-Viable for competitive with two abilities that immunize Water which would be useful in many ways
So simple make it Ground type
And for those who wonder it’s not my least favorite it just has some reasons to blow steam off on it I like all Pokemon it just happens to get at lot of my attention in a bad way sorry Maractus I only hate your anime episode anyways your not the worst.
I take back most of my ruder comments about its shiny, being a ripoff, and most of the rest except the cry and episode I dislike both
The shiny isn’t so bad, as shinies go. Grachomp’s is still a travesty.
Yes yes it was
They should change it because it’s so hard to tell the difference. Why didn’t they stick with the brighter blue of Gabite? Whoever designed shiny Garchomp is an idiot.
“Back in Gen.4”
Shiny Maker: Ok we have some good Shinies like Mothim now we need a sh*ty one for this Gen.?
Guy: How about Garchomp?
SM: Yes the Psudo let’s just change its shade to piss off the masses
Guy: Genius
Both: Mwuhahaha
“2013”
SM: What did we do to Garchomp I know Mega should be pink
Guy: Genius!
“This year”
SM: what now do we do for Shinies
Guy: Garchomp has tanked we can’t do it
SM: Make it random
Randomly colored during Z-Move
just kick this bitch to da curb it ain’t gonna get better
Yeah it’s too late for it but I respect Wes for having its favor I support it I still don’t love it my favorite Grass type is… Jumpluff
Or Torterra it goes
Torterra
Close second Jumpluff
I’ll be the first to admit that it sucks; I just love cacti. It and Cacturne are tied for my favorite Grass types simply because they’re cacti.
Nice!!
The only way it’s going to get better is if it gets an evolution, which is unlikely to happen. Storm Drain could become useful if it had the base stats to back it up. With Ground comes a 4X Weakness to Ice, without boosts elsewhere it wouldn’t be helpful. Water wouldn’t be much help either since it’s still outclassed by Ludicolo. Design-wise these type additions make sense, but they wouldn’t give it much help in competitive viability. It can’t even function in a support or utility role particularly well as it is. I actually like Maractus btw.
I think Maractus being fairy would make sense given how weird it looks.
Still won’t make me like it though.
I hate how in Twilight Princess, in the segment where Midna’s Lament is played, the danger music plays when you are near enemies ruining all of the tension.
I know!! Side note I’m learning (very slowly) to play it on the piano.
Did they fix it in TPHD?
Idk, I had to cancel my preorder of it due to funds :/
I think they did, but I can’t remember now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhb23i-c47A
They didn’t. Come on Nintendo, that was TP’s biggest flaw!
ooops, didn’t finish. I hate it when pokemon does this sometimes. Like in BW then in Nimbasa it cuts right to the cities theme after Emotion plays. Ruins it
That’s my absolute favorite mini arc
i was truly enthralled with the severity and the atmosphere
https://twitter.com/RealShigeruM/status/780149640901586945
That would be cool a water poison sea snake.
I was thinking the garden eel and then Arbok a Dragon eel. Water/Ground and Water/Dragon type. (It’s because I saw a picture if these before and they were absolutely beautiful)
So I asked before, but now I really need a nickname for Ledyba because I caught one. It should be a food, but not a fruit or a sauce.
Shoewad
Wostevar
Anythingislitterallybetter
Mingegurgle
No
No
Not True
What?
ledian is almost as bad as Budew
But Budew evolves into Roserade?
ALMOST. So not anything is literally better
still a waste
get a Spinarak
1) That’s HG exclusive
2) I’m glued to this team because RouletteLocke
3) I would still pick Ledyba any day
I think Ledian is awesome. I love it’s huge bug eyes and little baseball hands. Just because its stats aren’t stellar doesn’t mean it can’t be fun to use
THANK YOU! Finally! Someone who appreciates it’s design!
Ledyba isn’t great but Ledian is adorable. It should’ve gotten a mega or alolan form
I like Ledyba’s face. I’m not a fan of the thick antennae.
bah BAH Earthen says, that thing is a cute novelty at best but overall a waste
Overall ≠ Competitive
Why not fruit? Cherry would be cute
I changed Radish’s name to Honeydew because Radish didn’t really make sense for Meganium. I thought about Cherry as well, but I’m thinking of better names.
idk, I think Cherry is perfect for it. I’m having a hard time finding alot of fitting names for red foods that aren’t fruits or sauses
It doesn’t necessarily need to be red. It just has to make sense 😉
But I agree. Sorry Meganium, I might just end up picking a better name for you.
I like honeydew or hibiscus for meganium. Forsythia is also pretty.
Cupcake
Brioche
Shortcake
Chelsea (Bun)
Bakewell (Tart)
Nougat
Sherbet
Liquorice
Marzipan
(Red) Leicester
Annatto (Red food Colouring)
Achiote (Bixa orellana – the plant the red colouring is extracted from)
Macaron
Cookie
That’s all I can think of right now.
Been real busy like extra busy and haven’t been on in awhile so has any new news popped up over anything????
nuthin to report
Not for another 9 days D:
I’m adding a ton of game ost’s to my phone. Any suggestions? Right now I have Cave Story, Undertale and HGSS
you can’t go wrong with Shovel Knight’s Addicting Chiptune songs
and Earthen’s personal favorite
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-oPvcdS-JE
Oooh good one! My favorite is High Above the Land
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1kf-OJdvb4
marvelous
High Above the Land is very high (heh heh) on my list, second actually. My favorite, however, is Of Devious Mechanations.
Hmm, DPPt maybe? Super Mario Galaxy? Animal Crossing:NL?
I’m just going to list some of my favorite tracks:
Skyrim Atmospheres
Fi’s Gratitude
King and Country (ES: Oblivion)
Heavy Price Paid (Halo 2)
Luma (Super Mario Galaxy)
The Great Sea (Wind Waker)
oooo this is good too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lULqrCRqC8U
Ooo yeah I should do Mario 3D World
Oh my..that was something
i love this guy’s work
He sounds like he might develop nodes
this is arguably the best
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rKZeHkcg8o
DADADADADADADADADADAAAA
I remember you posted this 3 years ago in a comment saying: “YOU WANNA SEE SOMETHING FUNNY??!?”
I can’t be responsible for past Earthen’s mistakes
He’s dead now
But past Earthen> Now Earthen
Jk.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE EARTHEN!!!
There are two TheLastKurusus
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
*Hurls a chainsaw*
But if you think about it, Kurusu (The Pokémon) doesn’t exist, so only one REALLY exists.
…….*Revs up chainsaw*
Like a violent and testosterone angle
Some Explorers of Sky stuff is pretty good.
DPPt is good
Shovel Knight of course
…. I got nothing…
Now I’m salty because I put a few on my phone and they are in the incorrect order -.-
den a playlist in da order yous want
but that takes time .o.
Ugh. I hate it when that happens (I’ve got a little OCD)
Really hate it when people say things like “I’m a bit OCD”, or “Oh I’m SO OCD”, just because they like things to be neat and tidy. I’m not trying to attack you in any way, I have debilitating OCD so it really gets to me seeing the term casually thrown about, or even used to seem like it’s a good thing sometimes.
Sorry. I meant I have a little thing called OCD
It’s OK, if you actually have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder then you obviously have every right to say so. Sorry if I sounded like I was having a go at you, it just really upsets me.
Yeah. A LITTLE OCD makes no sense.
Am I the only one who thinks the Pokemon Go teams should have been Team Acuity (Instead of Mystic), Team Valor and Team Verity (Instead of Instinct). Maybe it’s because the first team I saw was Valor…
They should be, but they don’t follow any game canon, so the teams have nothing to do with the lakes.

Electrode should be a buoy if it’s gonna be water type imo
But the others are pretty good
i watched this a little while ago
i don’t care for it
way too many water types
I mean.. It IS Hawaii
bah i just am sick of seeing Water get more stronger
ever since Scald was introduced i have been under heel by those watery jackholes
That’s true. Scald is very annoying.
And I already fear burns crippling me
It is just bad to be a Ground type master with so many immediate threats
My personal favorites here are Rapidash, Arbok and Machamp. Especially Machamp.
I recently introduced my sister to pokemon and she asked me about the names of some of the gym leaders from sinnoh
Me: There’s Byron. He’s a steel type gym leader. He’s my favorite
Sister: *googles* *starts laughing* he’s funny looking
Me *you little bitch*
She wasnt a fan of Archie either.
Well I mean Byron does have purple hair that’s very unkempt. Archie’s redesign is great though
THEY’RE BOTH BEAUTIFUL OKAY
I will say that, for artwork, Archie is a looker.
It’s more of a dark mauve or burgundy
I want to lick his chest
Calm down
I mean shovel
When you tell Byron that he may already have a kid who’s in his 20’s, but you’d still like to dig him up ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Yesss
The original was: When you tell Bertha that she may be a Fossil, but you’d still like to dig her up.
My other ones were better, but my friend and I were running out of lookers and we had to go to old people….
Eeeew old people
Exactly my thought
Would you like to hear more?
Yes actually
Give me a person
Archie idk
Ok… Umm…
Alright, here are a few:
When you tell Archie you’d want to steal his Devon Parts ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
When you tell Archie you want him to hoist his Anchor ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
And
When you tell Archie that you don’t want the blue orb OR the red orb ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hmmmm do something foooor Lt. Surge
When you tell Lt. Surge to get a surge protector ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
When you tell Lt. Surge that the switches hidden in the gym are not the only things that are turned on ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
LOLOLOLOLOL THOSE ARE BETTER
Who else?
Guzma?
When you tell Guzma you’d like to pick a bone with him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ehh….. This one’s hard considering we don’t know him yet…
True lol what about Sycamore
When you tell Sycamore that you’d like to see a different set of Pokeballs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I need to go. Bye. I’ll post more if I think of any
Okay bai
You there?
It would taste like dirt
Dirt and man sweat I am fine with that
You need to raise your standards, sonny.
Why?
No one should be happy to eat dirt
Dirt contains the microbes that make the body immune to Asthma.
It also contain worms and worms are disgusting
Works are fun to play with
Dirty men are hot

You should make that your Phone wallpaper
I would if I didn’t have people staring over my shoulder constantly lol
This is my wallpaper. PULVERIZING PANCAKE https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/65a2f8e8a6a20abb1d5b62404a7c38d9bc9dd166018f9f895106229a97cb7818.png
Meh, shades of purple
me voting for the first time in the polls after this new layout (that i really like)

hi im sorta new. let me be popular like earthen.
im getting moon. •_•
this is a zorua i drew. bruno looked atrocious.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/62a460e05df37470099c4f72fcbcfb60ae997871b5e964db4a0e5f3cbf3dd52a.jpg
I’m not sure Earthen is a good role model though… 🙂
Nice painting. Traditional art?
i just mean like how everyone knows who earthen is
yes i drew it with pen and used markers that are like copics thanks
Why does everyone other than me seem to have ridiculously good cameras and/or scanners? Tell me what yer using.
One reason I stopped posting traditional art. 😀
i have a secret to tell you even though this is the internet and nothing is a secret here and that i don’t really care if anyone knows.
all i did was prop my sketchpad up on a couch and take a picture of it with my phone
but i probably should scan it which i would do also like i normally do which is slap it onto my scanner/printer and hope it isn’t crap.
i think i get lucky, shadows suck
Thanks. So apparently you have no secret lighting/photography secrets and just get lucky….
Actually I do the same things you do, but it still looks terrible (photography wise) unlike your picture. 😀
thank you! it’s easier if you make the picture vertical then take a picture
earthen’s a great role model! he can teach people valuable lessons, like how much fairy’s suck, and “don’t be a p*ssy”
is this done with marker?
yes, something like copic but cheaper
I’d say Earthen is more infamous than popular. There’s a distinct difference.
”Some Pokemon that evolve with Sun and Moon stones are getting split evolutions, where they take the opposite stone to evolve”
”Pokemon with opposite stone evolutions: Nidorina, Nidorino, Jigglypuff and Delcatty will get a new evolution with the Sun Stone. Sunkern, Cottonee, Petilil and Helioptile will get a new evolution with the Moon Stone”
That will never happen but it’s a cool idea.
”I have some info about these boats”
Magikarp boat will take you to the Kanto resort, where you can battle several NPCs who show up there randomly. Red, Blue, Leaf, the gym leaders, E4 and Lance. Oak will give you one of the starters
Steelix submarine will take you to the Johto resort, where you can battle Ethan, Lyra, Gym leaders, E4 and Archer. Professor Elm will give you a Johto starter
Huntail ferry will take you to the Hoenn resort. Brendan, May, Wally, gym leaders, E4 and Steven can be battled and Prof. Birch gives you a starter.
Whiscash ferry takes you to the Sinnoh resort, where Lucas, Dawn, Barry, gym leaders E4, Cynthia and Cyrus can be battled. Prof. Rowan gives you the starter.
Wailord line takes you to the Unova resort, which is split in two islands, Black Island and White Island. The Black Island NPCs include: Hilda, Hilbert, Cheren, Chili, Cress, Cilan, N and Alder and the elite 4.
White Island NPCs include: Nate, Rosa, Bianca, Hugh, Iris, Zinzolin, Ghetsis. Prof. Juniper and her father are also on this island and will give you a starter.
Kalos doesn’t have a resort, instead after collecting 50% of the Zygarde Cells and shown them to Dexio and Sina, they will offer you to travel with them to Southern Kalos Island which will have a couple of new towns, a forest and a cave where 50% Zygarde resides. After capturing Zygarde, several NPCs will appear in Sunnete City and can be battled like on the other resorts. The NPCs include: Calem, Serena, Trevor, Shauna, Tierno, gym leaders, elite 4, Diantha, Lysandre and AZ. Additionally, Sycamore is also present and will give you a Kalos starter.
Oh yeah, refresh
