After the Gym Leader and Elite Four Showdown, we’re bringing you a new series: Mascot Pokémon Showdown! We’ll look at the cover Pokémon of the original box art from Pokémon Red to Pokémon Moon (ignoring remakes). Who will come out on top as the top Mascot Pokémon? Let’s find out!
First up, is Kanto. Generation I consisted of four games: Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. These four installments were the only in the series to not feature a Legendary Pokémon, instead, they each contained an image of a Starter Pokémon. Released in Japan in 1996, and in 1998 in the US, they were the first Pokémon games that sucked us into the world we’re still in today.
Pokémon Red Version
Pokémon Red featured the original Fire-type Starter, Charizard, the Flame Pokémon, on its cover art.
Its design is based on a European dragon as told about in legends. The tip of its tail has a flame that burns hotter as it gains battle experience. Mostly inhabiting mountain sides, Charizard is one of the biggest causes of forest fires, even though it’s not their intention.
Its signature move is Blast Burn, introduced in Generation III, which has now become an exclusive move for every Fire-type Starter. Despite being part Flying-type Charizard wasn’t able to learn Fly in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green. Both of Charizard’s Mega Evolutions have the highest base stat totals of all non-legendary Fire-type Pokémon. Its name comes from ‘charcoal‘ and ‘lizard‘.
Pokémon Blue Version
Pokémon Blue featured Blastoise, the Shellfish Pokémon. It’s the original Water Starter and it’s based on a turtle with resemblances of a tank.
Because the water jets it shoots from its cannons are so strong, it has to make itself heavy in order to withstand the force – they can even burst through concrete walls!
With the signature moves Skull Bash and Hydro Cannon, Mega Blastoise has the highest Special Attack base stat of all non-legendary Water Pokémon. Its name is a combination of ‘blast‘ and ‘tortoise‘.
Pokémon Green Version
Pokémon Green showed Venusaur on its cover, the Seed Pokémon. 
As the first Grass Starter, it’s based on some form of prehistorian reptile with a Rafflesia Arnoldii on its back. It uses its flower to catch sunlight, which it then converts into energy; making its flower more vibrant.
Its signature move is Frenzy Plant. Mega Venusaur has the highest base stat total and Defense stat of all Poison-type Pokémon. Its name comes from ‘Venus flytrap plant‘, ‘venom‘ and ‘dinosaur‘.
Pokémon Yellow Version
On the cover of Pokémon Yellow is the Pokémon franchise’s mascot: the Mouse Pokémon – Pikachu! This game marked the first and only time where you didn’t actually get to choose your Starter Pokémon – your rival only had one choice as well (although it could evolve into different options), Eevee.
Pikachu is based on various rodents, despite its category suggesting it’s just designed as a mouse. Pikachu stores electricity in its cheeks to release at enemies. It also uses this power to roast hard berries to make them easier to eat.
Volt Tackle is the name of its signature move. Its name comes from ‘pikapika‘, an onomatopoeia for an electric spark, and ‘chuchu‘, which could either be the onomatopoeia for squeaking, or simply a kiss.
That’s it for the first instalment of Mascot Pokémon Showdown. We hope you guys enjoyed the new Showdown format! Keep a look out for Generation II in a few days time!

X — EVAN
Dang I didn’t know so many people liked Blastoise… well there’s till time for Charizard to take its rightful throne!
Cuz Blastoise count as American symbol.
Because of the cannons? If not how so?
No …….blue had been posted in America at first place………Red and Green in Japan .
Charizard!!!
Squirtle is the one starter I’ve never had any interest at all in picking. Dang I dislike Blastoise so much.
Love Squirtle and Wartortle, but absolustely hate Blastoise. I don’t even understand it. I love turtles, but not that one. >.>
Anything but Charizard. But I don’t know who to pick out of them :C Pikachu isn’t as good as raichu, Blastoise is cooler in its first two stages, and Venasaur is well its venasaur
If this continues… Charizard, Suicune, Groudon, Dialga, Reshiram(x2 ;D), Xerneas.
Lunala… for now. (Though I don’t know if they’ll do a 3rd entry)
are these your picks? or what you think will win?
Indeed!
Venusaur is easily my favourite starter, I used all 3 in my playthroughs of Pokemon X and I easily had the most fun using Venusaur than any of the others
Here have some art https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7d525f363099c1958eef5055719a3b6645ce1befc731941f98bc6f84cc28dc8f.jpg
By Versiris on Deviant Art
I can’t wait for the B2/W2 edition! I just know Kyurem is gonna win!
LOL
But WHICH Kyurem?
Charizard should extinct or should have been never existed.
What format do you guys prefer for the Showdown-series?
Charizard is the only starter to have the potential to be part Dragon type. Therefore it’s objectively the best.
‘Objectively the best’
Stealth Rock says otherwise :p
I went with my fav starter Charizard (even if I started with Yellow). I just love it too much <3
Charmander/Charizard was the worst starter in gen 1. After it learns ember at level 9, it doesn’t get Flamethrower until level 46 and you don’t get Fire Blast until Blaine gives it to you. Bulbasaur way outclassed the other 2 back then, but at least Squirtle eventually gets Surf in comparison to Charmander. I do like all 3 though, just putting the facts out there.
Charmander was weak to the first Two Gyms and only has One that it had a type advantage over. Charmander was Hard Mode.
It was hard because it was bad xD
VENUSAUR! underrated & underappreciated.
Lost out to Charizard and Blastoise hype
That’s mainly the issue with Grass starters tbh
I thought this was going to be unfair but it appears that Charizard is actually having to fight for the win for now.
No love for Venasuar huh?
It’s pretty disgusting that it’s tied with Pikachu. Get that rat out of here
It’s always been Charizard and Blastoise.
There were only two starters in Gen 1
Sad really
Well, my Pokémon red nostalgia tells me charizard.
Two things
First how is Pikachu Losing!… I choose you Pikachu!
Second will Gen.2 only Ho-Oh and Lugia and Suicune or will it have Feraligatr, Typhlosion, and Meganium as options? Sadly I would rather vote starter than Legendaries
It’ll feature the Pokémon on the cover.
Aww! Can after we do starter fight
I mostly never use Legendaries so I don’t go in depth with loving many in particular (except Suicune, Dialga, just about every small mythical (Mew, Celebi, ect.) and The lake guardians)
The first Showdown featured the starter Pokémon, but it involved them being in their first stage. Maybe there will eventually be one involving their last stages.
Yay!!! Oh right I just remembered that
Gen 2 had the worst starters though
Ho-oh and Lugia were epic.
Suicune was pretty meh.
excuse you, gen 2 had the hands down best starters of any gen
I’d put them close second under Sinnoh but I’m with you on this
I will say nothing of sinnoh starters, but the pokemon in the sinnoh dex, like the regular ones I always thought had a certain design element that connected it to gen 2
Yeah they are the best connected origins regions I’ll be happy for a remake of either
No excuses necessary. Hands down the most terrible I have ever laid eyes upon. Although Gen 5 gave them a run for their money.
:O Gen 5 also had good starters though, one of them was iffy sure but they were still good starters
My opinion is for starters
Sinnoh
Johto
Unova
Kanto
Kalos
Hoenn
Sinnoh
Hoenn
Kanto
Unova
Alola
Johto
Kalos
Oh right Alola is third on mine
Johto
Hoenn
Unova
Kanto
Kalos
Alola
Sinnoh
Based on how many of the starters I like of the 3, johto I like all three, and Sinnoh I only choose Chimchar because I have to
Exactly my thought! I choose you Pikachu, always have, always will! X3
I love Blastoise but I don’t use him because of his shi**y stats. Charizard for the win
Send that weed to the mulcher because Charizard is always the fan favorite
Pikachu
That’s not what the polls say
I wish that’s what they’d say
Are you glad it’s not a “who’s the hottest”-contest anymore?
Well don’t sell yourself short there all it takes is one Google search to find these powerful Pokemon in suggested images
Well technically….
wtf why is charizard pulling ahead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07So_lJQyqw
^This is me on a daily basis tbh
It’s probably gonna end up as:
Charizard
Suicune
Rayquaza
Giratina
Zekrom
Yveltal
Can’t tell between Solgaleo and Lunala but my money is on Lunala
I always thought Xerneas was more popular than Yveltal tbh, and I think so far Lunala is more popular than Solgaleo
Yveltal has got the cooler look. But Lunala probably has the edge over Solgaleo but too early to tell
Agree to disagree on that first part, Im so glad we have such a diverse fandom
Awww man. Which idiot would pick Suicune in a poll that contains Ho-Oh and Lugia?
I’ve noticed the series pushes Suicune more than the birds. Shame
Me.
Exactly. In terms of awesomeness dog/leopard thing trumps birds
People who happen to have different opinions from you
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/44a0c3146e06cda5bcb2aab35d086b8e5b6ec5fde65968fe6799cad506a06eb7.gif
How dare they?
Not their fault they have the superior opinion :p
That is completely their fault. Who said they were allowed to even form an opinion?
Smh
This is how I would rank, MY favorite to least favorite.
Suicune
Lunaala
Xerneas
Yveltal
Solgaleo
Reshiram
Ho-Oh
Rayquaza
Charizard
Lugia
Pikachu
Venusaur
Kyogre
Blastoise
Giratina
Dialga
Groudon
Palkia
we gotta wait 7 more weeks until we finally see Cynthia demolish the other champions:(. Anyways, if you vote for Charizard you are basic. Blastoise is the best. and Pikachu flop should not even be there
basic like cynthia 😉
as if. choosing Cynthia is the correct answer for everything
Do we even need a poll to show that Cynthia is better? Either everyone already knows she is or they’re in denial.
Yaaasssss! Blastoise all the way!
I voted for my dude Blastoise, cus it was my first starter Pokemon. Blastoise forever!
Curious question: if you guys were to apply to be a Gym Leader in a hypothetical region, what type would you specialise in, what number would you be, and what TM would you use?
I would answer this but its obvious
The number and TM aren’t obvious :p
I forgot to mention, but the TM can be any rational move of your type.
Theres only one Fairy TM, but if i could pick any move it would be either Moonlight, Moonblast or Baby-doll eyes
oh and I will except nothing less than number 8
Steel
4
A new TM for Iron Head
Noice, any idea on team or badge name or nah? (would’ve included that in the op but that’s be too much to ask for the initial post imo :p)
Team:
Drilbur lvl 22
Honedge lvl 22
Magneton lvl 23
Metang lvl 25
Ore Badge
why not replace that Drilbur with a nice legal Lairon
Drilbur is 100% legal.
Plus he will be a nice Excadrill for my rematches.
no it aint it should be all steel
but the rematch is fine because its always a tune up
It is 100% legal and there’s nothing you can do about it :p
Excuse u I don’t believ Drilbur is Steel Type :p
But in all honesty though, I’m surprise GameFreak doesn’t take advantage of Pokémon that evolve into the speciality type, by doing that you’ve got a fire counter that still fits into your theme.
Exactly. It still fits the theme of steel types and The Ore badge, because it’s basically a drill. Scyther wouldn’t work even though it evolves into a Steel Type.
My Gym would obviously be a Quary and the player has to traverse to the bottom by rearranging platforms using mechanical switches.
Simple
Ground
And Earthen don’t settle less then number 8
Rhyperior/Warhog
Piloswine
Graveler
Gabite
Sandslash
Onix
i would force my competitors to fight their way through 3 agonizing pitch black floors in my Underground Arena and you better know strength kuz i haul boulders in every morning to make it all the more harder
and those who manage to defeat my Earthen Warriors i’ll begrudgingly award them the Terrain badge along the most powerful TM, TM 26 Earthquake then tell then to GIT OUGHT
Graveler, Gabite, Piloswine and Onix? Isn’t that a bit underpowered for Gym 8?:x
it’s the right amount
Because half the time you buttmunches just load up on every powerful Pokemon in the Type pool then making it sound realistic
Yeah but like you’re bringing up the exact opposite problem of your issue, your team is quite underpowered. Most eighth gym leaders will have either all fully evolved Pokémon and stand alones, or mostly fully evolved Pokémon and maybe one not fully evolved 😡
Maybe have all fully evolved and have four team members, or five and have two NFEs?
fine
Rhyperior
Excadrill
Warhog
Golem
Claydol
Quagsire
Warhog?
its one of his fakemon that he created, don’t get him started
I wouldn’t mind hearing it tbh, I love fakemon :p
suit yourself 😛
he consented
Imagine using a Z-move with Piledriver. What accuracy did you use to balance it out though?
Warhog: the Macho PKM
Ground/Fighting
Ability Guts/Sheer Force HA: Anger Point
HP 120
Attack 145
Defense 100
Sp Atk 30
Sp Def 95
Speed 70
Bst 560
A massive pig like humanoid with dark pinkish skin with splotches of dark brown mud on its body in the shape of a leotard, majorly muscular arms, legs and pectorals, its would have a 4 clawed hoof like fists and hoofs for feet, its warthog like face has a long snout with 4 tusks coming out of the mouth 2 big and 2 small, its eyes would be bright red and it would sport a large Crimson Mohawk that runs down the top of his head all the way to the base of his back ending with a tail with a small tuft
I think it’s pretty cool! The thing seems to hate special sweepers and the like but the concept seems cool and I love the play on Warthog
and this is it’s dex entry
“Warhog pride themselves on having powerful bodies, to train they punch boulders to rubble; Using their great strength they can fight one hundred foes without rest”
And to top it all off a Signature attack
Piledriver
Fighting
Physical Base damage 150
The target is grabbed and launched high into the air and the user crashes down to the ground with tremendous force, the user must recharge afterwards
way underpowered. I miss the days where the 8th gym leader was an actual challenge
That’s a bad team. Final Gym leaders never have 6. I would go.
Piloswine lvl 42
Gabite lvl 42
Sandslash lvl 43
Golem lvl 44
Rhyperior lvl 45
What if someone goes into your gym with a Contrary Seperior with Leaf storm and Giga Drain? Edit: Dragon Pulse too
Pretty much every gym has one Pokémon that can screw it over :p
Eat a bag of d*ks
Gladly
to like half this site those words mean nothing XD
For a good number of members that’d be a luxury, Earthen :p
The question is, where?
Yo, can somebody make a candy called dicks and animate someone eating a bag of them? XD
This is what happens when someone takes time to plan stuff and then it all gets wronged lol
Serperior kills your team
you are aware that no team is ever going to be immune from another pokemon or really “the best” right?
Technically some teams are close to that lol just like those teams with L1 aron and recycle toxic magnemite etc
its all in the players skill not the team they use
50% skill 50% pokemon
Not 100% skill
Or 100% pokemon
you can be the most skilled in the world and use a Goodra but when its faced agains Mega Rayquaza then that thing is doomed in that case there was no skill even needed to be honest 1 life orb Outrage and Bam Bam Bam Goodra fainted.
Skill makes you choose your pokemon
LOL
Can’t forget Hax
Those teams are very easily beaten with a single status move. Or even Stealth rocks up on the field. They are a Gimmick nothing more.
There actually is
A team of Marshshadow
Even if you win, you’d feel bad for hurting the lil bbus
Fight
Gym 7
Blaziken
Priemape
Hitmonlee
Hitmonchan
I will give TM Bulk up??
If I can use any move instead of a TM I will use Sky Uppercut
Dark! and 8th gym leader
Zoroark
Krookodile
Houndoom
Drapion
Hydreigon
Bisharp
And the TM would be dark void 🙂
My team is a bit overpowered so I’d maybe use a Zweilous and Krokorok instead
maybe whittle some of them the problem with making a real sounding gym is everyone goes overboard and just adds every powerful pokemon
I just put my favorite ones. That’d be my team for the most powerful trainers, but I’d use less pkm and weaker ones depending on the trainer’s level. They just gotta have a good fairy-type and I’m doomed so
If I were you, I’d probably devolve two Pokémon and remove one or remove two but keep the rest the same 😡
Ok, so
Zoroark (my favorite pkm ever after Darkrai so not touching it)
Drapion
Zweilous
Pawniard
Sneasel
Is it realistic?
Hmm, I feel Pawniard is quite underpowered. Maybe just have five with one NFE, seeing how Dark tends to be a ‘frail, but strong’ type?
hmmm
Zoroark
Drapion
Zweilous
Bisharp
Spiritomb
I’d need a good strategy against fairy and fighting types tbh. I changed Sneasel to spiritomb so I don’t have to worry about the fighting types for that one.
I feel that Bisharp and Drapion are good Fairy counters seeing as they’ll outspeed a good number of them and can certainly deal damage
Also a Toxic Spikes Drapion lead would be a terror
Seeing as Illusion works differently in the anime I’d make Zoroark transform into a legendary just to make the silly trainers shit their pants
Even from a game standpoint they could make your Zororark special and have it pretend to be Darkrai, possibly even using a moveset near identical to Darkrai’s (Dark Pulse, Sludge Bomb, and maybe Nasty Plot with a Hidden Flamethrower or Extrasensory for coverage?)
I don’t like most people would even know what a darkrai is
Okay, here’s mine:
Gym #1
Pixie Badge
Cottonee Lv.12
Mimikyu Lv. 13
Marill Lv. 15
The puzzle would be a misty, overgrown maze you have to navigate, with me at the centre. Simple maze for the first Gym. TM is Draining Kiss.
Does anyone think that’s a bit overkill or nah?
Three Pokémon in the first Gym has that been done before? Either way I like it because I love a challenge!
In Emerald and the Sinnoh Games I believe!
Ooh you’re right! Which is why I loved Emerald! <3
It was the reason I loved Sinnoh, a good challenge and fun to play!
I’ve got to play Emerald some time though
I remember first getting Diamond and oh my goodness was it tough! Especially with the lack of fire types D: I believe Chimchar-line and Magmortar were the only new ones.
In Diamond, Ponyta and Chimchar were the only Fire Types before the Champion 😮
Luckily I love both lines so it’s fine for me
I don’t remember choosing a Fire-Type haha. I think I just taught my Dialga flamethrower and called it a day haha!
I’m pretty sure I caught Ponyta and Chimchar just to be sure because I knew beforehand there was an ice area ^^;
Must have been why I had a tough time during the game haha. I remember when I found out we could run indoors! I was SHOOK!
The Pokémon games continue to make amazing advancements
Running in doors?
Cycling in gates?
SITTING DOWN?!?
😛
Looks like they took out sitting down this time around lol, oh well maybe on the Nintendo Switch haha!
People are annoyed about the battle frontier being removed
I’m angry about the lack of sitting
maybe bump them all down about 2 lvs and its about on par with other games, but I don’t think you have to change it at all
I’m imaging that it’d be a region with a higher level bump to allow some Pokémon to be used in later Gyms (like all of Unova’s late bloomers :p)
Well in Emerald Roxanne’s Nosepass was level 15 so it’s not bad.
I’d be the standard 8th Dragon Gym Leader.
Haxorus (DGN)
Dragalge (PSN/DGN)
Drampa (NRM/DGN)
Dragonite (DGN/FLY)
Garchomp (DGN/GND)
Hydreigon (DRK/DGN)
I’d give a new TM for Dragon Dance or Draco Meteor and my badge would be called the Slay Badge. My Gym would be a castle in which you have to rescue the princess, but on the way you encounter lots of dragons (from trainers).
why not the Valor badge it sounds more triumphant
To be honest the team feels more like a rematch team, maybe Ditch a team mate? 😡
I really don’t care, people should prepare for a long time before challenging me. I’m not removing a team mate so my opponent could have an easier time beating me 😉
hmmmm
Haxorus
Drampa
Dragalge
Gabite
Zweilious
Just made this because I’m bored
https://s18.postimg.org/m73bgr6x5/Dragon_Gym_Leader.png
I would use
Hydreigon
Flygon
Kommo-O
Dragalge
Altaria (Ace)
Garchomp
Make the player wear a knight suit and I’m in!
7th Gym Leader with Water as my type, I’d probably give Scald as a TM
Pokémon: Main – Jellicent, Wishiwashi, Lanturn and Gorebyss
Scald Jellicent
Sounds like pure evil if you ask me :p
I love Jellicent soooo much! I think I read somewhere that it was supposed to just be pure water type, and if so I’m glad they added Ghost to it!
Not sure what numbered I’d like, but my gym would be Ghost/Dark, TM would probably be Will-o-wisp or Snarl.
I would only run a full team match.
M. Sableye, Dusknoir, Gengar, Zoroark, Bisharp, and Weavile. (I’m basing my team off the anime and not the game’s stats. XD)
Oh, and badge name: Enigma Badge.
My Gym’s theme would be a haunted house gothic style. Ghost and dark pokemon roaming the halls and challenging any trainers who’ve come to challenge me. No gym trainers.
Sweeeeeeet, what particular mons?
I’d be a Gym Leader of Water
Tm: Water Pulse
Badge: Aqua badge
1 match
Poliwhirl (Water)
Corphish (Water)
Tympole (Water)
2 match
Politoed (Water)
Crawdaunt (Water/Dark)
Palpitoad (Water/Ground)
Lombre (Water/Grass)
Chinchou (Water/Electric)
Seadra (Water)
3 Match
Politoed (Water)
Crawdaunt (Water/Dark)
Seismitoad (Water/Ground)
Ludicolo (Water/Grass)
Lanturn (Water/Electric)
Kingdra (Water/Dragon)
Yo, NICE
I’d be Dragon :3
I’d be the special Gym with an Ice/Fairy mix.
Glaceon (ICE)
Aurorus (ICE-ROCK)
Allolan Ninetales (ICE-FAIRY)
Froslass (ICE-GHOST)
Florges (Fairy)
Mega-Diancie (FAIRY-ROCK)
I’d given a new TM possibly an Ice-Fairy mixtape called Icy Pixie Dust and my badge would be the Elegant Snowflake badge. My gym would be in an icy places filled with small igloos where either a Fairy-type or Icy-type is blocking, and you need to get the key to get to the Gym Leader.
7th or 8th electric type Gym leader
I would give the TM Wild charge and like the Shock badge or something
My team:
Zebstrika (main)
Luxray
Eelektross
Galvantula
Lanturn
7-8th gym
Ghost Type
Badge: Phantom Badge
TM: Shadow ball
Main: Dusknoir
2nd: Chandelure
3rd: Aegislash
4th: Cofagrigus
5th: Mismagius
6th: Drifblim
8th Gym
Dark Type
Zoroark
Sableye
Tyranitar – Mega
Krookodile
Hydreigon
TM – Dark Pulse
Badge: Shadow Badge
If I were a Gym leader, I would be the 8th gym to fight against, and I would be a Dragon type specialist (along with Dragon-like Pokemon). I would reward them with TM Dragon Dance. In addition, if they fight against me in a rematch, I would give them a Mega Ring in the post-game. My team would be:
-Vibrava
-Hakamo-O
-Charizard
-Seadra
-Kommo-O
Rematch:
-Flygon
-Kingdra
-Noivern
-Dragonite
-Kommo-O
-Mega Sceptile
I’d be a Dragon gym leader in Unova. Dragon Claw would be my TM. I guess I’d be gym leader 8, but after taking over the Opelucid Gym, I’d move it to White Forest. My team would consist of:
Shiny Dragonite
Shiny Haxorus
Flygon
Hydreigon
Tyrantrum
Mega Charizard X
I’d be an Ice type gym leader, probably the 7th gym.
Gym Badge: Frost Badge
TM: Ice Beam
Beartic
Weavile
Abomasnow
Mamoswine
Glaceon
*Im in desperate need of awesome ice types in Sun and Moon
Flying-type, which sounds like an odd choice. But I dig those Flying ones, especially the core Pokemon of each Gen (Pidgeot, and the likes, even Pikipek’s Toucan evo).
Can’t really answer the other two questions though, because I can’t decide. LOL.
If u Puzzled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSVjV-eyKrg
I think there’s a problem with the mobile version of the site. I was going to vote for Venusaur, but when I scrolled down, the poll said I had already voted for Charizard and refreshing it and removing just tells me I’ve already voted. Is there a way to fix that?
Revoting, not removing. My phone autocorrected
Damned rigged elections!
I can’t have Charizard win. Goodness he’s so overrated!
Underrated*
no one on this earth can ever say its underrated, its the only pokemon the Genwunners cling on to as their last tie to the pokemon franchise
I feel people hate it only because other people like it. Which is not really a great reason for disliking something, but whatever suits them I guess.
Not directed at anyone in particular :p
Still love me some Charizard. Yeh it’s mainly nostalgia I admit, but Charizard was cool to me as a kid and I still love it.
True I can see that, I guess my dislike comes from the fact that I hella love Water starters, I choose them each generation….despite some of them having bad designs. I always grow to love them tho. *looks at Oshawott*
I was the same with Fire starters…and then Tepig came along. Ugh.
Tepig had so much potential! I was hella hoping for a Fire/Ground Boar….but then we got Emboar. I was like, Well it’s a Boar. Gen V had bad starters, Snivy was good up until Serperior, I was also hoping for Grass/Dragon
tbh there are a lot of pokemon that I was kind of just meh about at first but I slowly started to strongly dislike them because they were so fan serviced and shoved down everyones throats. Like Lucario, I was meh and then it like took over for no reason and I was like ok it will die now when gen 5 came out and Zoroark was announced and I was all pumped to see him in the next smash game, but no they had to give us Lucario again
Can’t argue with that to be honest. I’m guilty of disliking Fairies cos they are being shoved down our throats.
I have other reasons as well, but that plays a part.
I’ll try to step back and see it from your perspective, even though fairies are my all time faves, even If I can’t at least I can say I tried eh
Tbh I feel that they aren’t tremendously fisted down out throats, but Sinia telling you about it was so useless and ham-fisted, should of left the hype for the out of game media and just introduce it subtly like Steel and Dark.
its a good enough reason to dislike something for me, I don’t need people thinking I’m a lemming or cant think for myself, if I don’t feel like I have my own individuality theres not much else I have going for me, plus I grew up in a town where everyone thinks the same way about like everything and if you don’t you get basically shunned for it so I took pride in standing apart from their bs. Not saying everyone has to think like this but Its still a valid reason to dislike it, because a lot of its so called “fans” arent even really fans of pokemon, just charizard
does this come off as bitchy?
That sounds to me like doing something for the sake of it. Something I can’t really accept, but won’t argue with you over. I just feel you need to have proper reasoning behind the choices you make, so you can justify it if needed later, and so you don’t dwell on a decision because youve already considered the angles. Plus I don’t care much what other people think of me :p
well the choices I make are my own and come from my own mind, they just get solidified if I feel like they are too different or not well received by the masses, and in a sense thats me not caring about what other people think about me myself. I reject the “crowd” mentality and think its utterly boring. Im not doing it just for the sake of it though.
I dunno, maybe it was just the way you wrote it and I misunderstood. But never mind.
Charizard is still the best :p
This. Completely. People love to hate Charizard.
I’d argue this. From the perspective of outside the Pokémon community, Charixard is the overrated one. But in the Pokémon community, Blastoise has become the overrated one. I hear so much about Blastoise everywhere in the community and none for Charizard because it was ‘overrated’ (but it only was overrated in the sense of casual/genwunners/people not into Pokémon.
I never hear anything about blastoise like ever
Legit hear it everywhere, especially on YouTube.
fair enough percy 😛 ill take your word for it
It’s a vicious cycle. But I don’t get why something being overrated is a reason to dislike it.
For the recorded I dislike people who use terms like overrated and underrated to justify their love or hate for something
Same. People need better reasons to hate things. I just was using those terms for explanation.
i think I found ironic when I used a OU only pokemon I was literally getting sweeped everytime, but now I use a OU team that literally only has hippowdown as his OU member, i have been winning more often
Hippowdon is OU now? Wow, I haven’t played OU in ages.
I enjoy me some RU and NU
yeah, there are so many pokemon that I never expect to be OU. Azelf and Tangrowth are OU shockingly
welcome to my life, fight the system
I find it ironic that pikachu (the franchise mascot) is losing. I guess people are tired of pikachu being SOOOO overated.
Too much of anything is bad
except happiness
That’s arguable.
Pikachu was never that loved. Maybe in Japan, but to everyone else Pikachu was just Pikachu.
Idk, non fans tend to react positively to Pikachu
That explains it then. Everyone on this site is a fan
Blue version has Vulpix
Aha another reason to pick Charizard.
I like me Vulpix but not as much as Houndoom
Well do you like it more than Growlithe?
A little bit more
Then Blue for You!
Venu here
Charizard the best pokemon of all time… accept this
Mm… Sableye is cuter and much more ominous. 😛
AGRREEED
Not when Darkrai exists
You mean Marshadow?
*dark voids you*
It’s true :3
Hop hop lop lopunny
DANGIT. I just voted Venusaur because it’s my favorite of the bunch, only to see Charizard completely tied with Blastosie! I’m gonna vote Blastoise on my laptop just to keep that overrated fire lizard from winning!
http://lparchive.org/Earthbound/Update%207/1-capture_12022008_083417.png
Blastoise is gonna need all the help it can get. Charizard will still leave it in the dust.
If it was overrated, it wouldn’t be tied with Blastoise. Charizard was much more overrated before. Now, what’s overrated is hating on Charizard for being overrated. I seriously don’t get why so many people like Blastoise, Venusaur looks much better than that ugly turtle.
Okay, Gym Leaders out of the way and E4s pretty much just being better Gym Leaders without teams, what would you guys have as your Champion Team? Mine would be:
Galvantula
Tsareena
Ninetales
Milotic
Froslass
Mega Altaria
Zoroark
Milotic
Gardevoir
Lucario
Salamence
Volcarona
Any Megas or nah?
Mega Lopunny
Mimikyu
Mienshao
Lurantis
Popplio3
Noivern
It was painful not putting certain pokemon on there trying to have a balanced team
Mega Altaria (or M Audino)
Morelull2
Slurpuff
Banette
Mismagius (or Granbull)
Ninetales Alolan
I knew you’d just do your favorite Pokémon 😀
Was there ever any doubt? 😛
No! I made my off my favorites, but I tried not to go the mono route which was a difficult task 😛
I added ghosts, that was me trying not to be so mono lol
Lol To be honest my real team would be either all ghost, all dark, or a mixture of the two.
go with all ghost and we can create a double gym lol fairy and ghost, getting ready to mess up anyone that comes inside
Two non-Fairies? BLASPHEMY! 😛
Fairy, Ghost and Dragon are my favs
*sees Dragon*

Jk, Dragon may be my least favourite but it produces quite a few I like tbh
Basically Prince 😛

What Lycanroc?
The only one that matters. Midday
Excuse you
Stone verlis is an average Pokémon and will be addressed to as such
XD
Average is pushing it dont you think
It’s average because the adorable evo
Otherwise it’s meh
Rockruff is badass. Evolving during the day time into Lycanrock is badass.
Rockruff should never evolve during the night.
I’m evolving mine at night to get the Dionysous for my Greek God runs
Swirlix?
imagine Eclipse Lycanroc
Imagine Lycanrock only having One evolution, being the Midday one.

the fact that we’re like the only hardcore mono people on this site, and the fact that we contrast so much is just funny
excuse me? I’M the Hardcore mono guy here

Let’s say you became a very powerful trainer and you decided to go after a legendary pokemon: which one would it be? (no arceus pls x) ). Mine would of course be Darkrai! I’d probably have to find Cresselia in order to get a lunar wing before even trying to find Darkrai though.
Definitely Suicune! Been obsessed with that Pokemon and its story ever since I first saw it.
I hope you’d have more luck than Eugene
I’d pull a Maxie and gain control of primal Groudon
And kill all the fairies I guess?
every last one
I’d literally use Xerneas to give them all eternal life and fly off to Mars
that’s so gay
AND YOU KNOW IT BOI
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/238f82a75c892fcf4d5e4b1a8ded32534595a00a6b051bf1d5c224c2a87dfd73.gif
Magearna, best Fairy legend IMO and it has such good story potential
There are only 2 other fairy legendaries. It’s not like it’s a huge pool to draw from
I’m counting the Tapus so that’s anywhere between three and six other Fairy Legends :p
but hey no Poison legend because GF is good at this stuffAny fairy ever, but narrowing it down Diancie or Xerneas
I’d be so powerful. Legendary Pokemon would be looking for me, begging me to capture them.
is this how daddy kinks start?
FAE
yesNOYes
Definitely Rayqauaza
Go for Deoxys and kill two birds with one stone
If I had the option for a second one it would be Deoxys, I love it so much
Just wait untill they beat each other up and then just capture them
I am a strong trainer I will use an Ice punching and Crunching Feraligatr
Deoxys is cool as fuck, all those forms
I’d go to the Distortion World to battle Giratina
I still wish it were Ghost/Dark 🙁
I would go for Lugia.
Mew :3
If I were a powerful trainer, I would say Zygarde because I would have to find both its cores
Genesect.
Ok so it’s Mythical, and tbh Genesect doesn’t really have a Legendary Feel, (At least to me), but it’s cool.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hmmm
http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/halloween-treats-in-pokemon-go/
I stopped playing unfortunately, but glad they’re doing something cool for Halloween.
suhweeeet i just killed my first Amazy Dazy of my billionth Paper Mario 64 run
48 star points!
Even though both Charizard and Blastoise are my two favorite pokemon of all time ( Charizard for being the first pokemon to love and pick during my first playthrough while Blastoise because he was the first pokemon that I got to Level 100 during my second playthrough and eventually transferred into my Silver Version ) I’m going for Charizard,because Red version was the first pokemon game I have received.Red version is what got me into pokemon and I still love every new pokemon game that comes out to this day.
Yes Charizard may be overrated…..but I still love my fire dragon lizard
These “If you” comments are really fun
So another question because I’m bored and I’m dragging you all down with me
You wake up in a strange new world as a Pokémon, but only one which has its final form have a Mega Evolution (that has been made by GameFreak). Which would you be?
I’d be Audino, I’d love to be the healer guy on epic adventures and even before its Mega it was one of my favourites.
Scizor!! There would be nothing better then roaming the world as a badass bug
The best thing is you’d start as a Scyther which is already a powerful Pokémon in its own right
Very true.

Sableye!
Me as a Pokemon that can mega evolve?? Lucario
either Garchomp or Heracross
‘or Heracross’
That isn’t a Ground Type
What is this blasphemy :p
Dude Heracross is like my second favorite Pokemon of all time
it’s my Fighting type main
I guess the ‘Warrior’ part of the name should of clued me into an interest in Fighting-Types for you :
on the nose
i specialize in Ground and Fighting types
why the bloody hell do you think i’ve been pushing for a Ground/Fighting type
I thought it’d be because it’d probably have a bomb ass design :p
Like a Ground/Fighting type is guaranteed to look badass
http://i.imgur.com/E2jrnU8.jpg
please mind the sheer amount of crudeness nut i did this one one evening at a restaurant this is how Warhog would look like
one day i gotta sit down and fully perfect it I.E not drawn with crayons on the back of a friggin placemat
Looks like chuck norris transformed into a Pokemon
i was going for Zangief
I mean it’s a muscular Mud wrestling warthog with hulking muscles who can slam opponents into the ground with mind shattering power
very Minotaur like, but with a pig instead of a bull
I honestly wish it’s hair was a different shade of red
its supposed to be bloody crimson
Huh… it probably would look super cool with it
One other question, no nose ring?
i just wanted a hulking muscle pig nothing more nothing less
maybe for Mega Warhog
Ah :3
I would like a mon like this
Probably Garchomp because it is one of the best dragons (Drampa being the best of course) and he is really powerful.
Most likely Charizard because I would have the option to go X or Y Mega Evolution, which if I were fighting another Pokemon would be good since I could exploit which of its defenses are worse and I could have good combat flexibility. Plus, flying would be awesome. Otherwise I would be Blaziken or Scizor.
I feel like in this world that you’d probably only have access to one Mega Stone for one reason, but I do love your reasoning, and it’s not Mary sueish due to each form having its own weaknesses. Love it when people put this much thought into stuff!
Alright, well in that case I would probably be Charizard Y. But thanks! If I were a Pokemon I would ought to be able to defend myself, because if I came out into the world on my own in the middle of nowhere then I would need to protect myself.
Nah, you’ve won me over with the idea of dual Megas so you don’t have to decide!
Yeah, self defence is hella important, so I feel bad for all those Weedle and Magikarp our there :p
I mean if those Magikarps keep on spamming that Tackle and Splashes then they can annihilate everyone with that Hyper Beam and Hydro Pump.
True XD
You know when you think about it if you came across a Gyarados (especially a Mega one) you would be forever screwed because they are known for destroying cities
Hopefully they’d be as sentient as humans and thus have morals but if not
R U N
Or even worse…
A NEST OF THEM CAPABLE OF MEGA EVOLUTION. You would be so fucked
Medicham or Banette for various reasons. But I think Medicham more because I’m in my mind a lot but I’m feisty as hell
I’m legit surprised that you wouldn’t go for a Fairy Mega 😮
But you went for two of the best non Fairy Megas so you got my respect :p
I love fairies but I don’t think any of the mega fairies really represent me as a person, the closest one would be mega audino
I completely get you, Audino personally fits me because I do feel I am a caring person-and also I’m a complete geek for healing characters.
Im a caring person to, I will literally defend those I love with my life but in the same right if you mess with someone I love I will basically destroy you
I feel I’m more of a ‘pick up the pieces after conflict’ guy, I hate it but I always others are better suited for defending me and my friends amongst ourselves :s
Well I mean I have a protector complex so that may be part of it. which Ironically is the name of my personality on the myers briggs test INFJ, so I guess its not that far off
Seeing as the I stands for introverted you’d feel it’d be a lot more internalised :p
or I’m thinking of the wrong acronymCool to see people bring that test up! I’m ENFP 😛
Mega Beedrill or Gallade.
Ooh, both of those feel they’d be rough starts due to the Weedle and Ralts lines being quite frail 😡
But the hardest route is often worth it
As Beedrill though I’d be able to mega evolve before any other person!
Become the dictator before Earthen gets there thirty eight levels after you :p
Beedrill master race.
All Hail our
terrifying, violent and cruel dictatorglorious, merciful and awesome leader Ultron :pSharpedo, its only two stage and its water.
Well according to Pokemon mystery dungeon I would start as Treecko. Which I guess fits but so would Mawile
Once again I can’t vote. Blastoise is bold as if I voted for it even though I just now opened my browser and haven’t yet had a chance to vote. Sorry Charizard, if you lose by one point it’ll be my fault, I guess. ;(
I’m glad Pikachu is in last place. Stupid overrated mouse. I hate it so much
Pika Pika??
Apparently I was the 700th voter, guess that’s cool.
Woooow, just now I was wonder trading and I got a jolly shiny Liepard in a love ball with Prankster. It’s at level 100, moves are Rain Dance, Encore, Knock Off and U turn. The OT is AuSLove.TV is he famous??
Apparently so:
https://auslove.tv
I even got a shiny 6IV Slaking from them before what luck huh?? I traded it away because it was named Harambe lol
The meme lives on
Yes, he’s famous for wonder trading away hacked Pokemon.
Oh sh******
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/2000465-pokemon-omega-ruby-alpha-sapphire-trading/72945940
IMO if you keep it and only battle with people who know and agree its fine or even just keep it as a trophy you should be fine :p
Am I like the only one who doesn’t mind Pikachu? I completely get why it’s the mascot, but it doesn’t entirely appeal to me: but those prevo and evos are fine af ?
Your not alone
I like Pikachu I just like raichu better
Why do people hate Pikachu? It’s just another Pokemon.
I’m guessing it’s because everyone knows Pikachu.It’s the mascot of pokemon and it’s all over the place.First thing when people think of pokemon is pikachu,there’s tons of merchandise that has pikachu in one way or another.Pikachu is almost everywhere.I just guess people get tired of seeing it everywhere when there’s over 700 pokemon.
I feel Mega Blastoise should have been Water/Steel, though I admit it’s purely because of the Cannons
for all we know the cannons could be made of cartilage or a bone like subsistence, because realistically speaking the cannons are totally organic in nature which are hooked directly into some kind of mass liquid sack that constantly secretes and stockpiles a watery substance that is used in a variety of its Water attacks
Cool
Or maybe it’s just a pkm and it can use magical moves?
….get out
That wouldn’t be the first time…
*pulls a gun*
Look at everyone’s favorite Alolan Raichu, randomly becoming psychic
they did an absolutely shitty job on that one
What they should’ve said was
“Pikachu was not native to the Alola region but due to popular demand scientists brought them over to see if they could be bred there, after trying to breed Pikachu with Alolan native Pokemon they finally began showing up on the Alola Region, but little did they know that these Pikachu exposed to a Thunderstone experienced a tremendous amount of electrical energies in their brains thus evolving into Electric/Psychic Raichus
That would be cool
The one that annoys me is the description of Muk how it became how it was
IT’S SO OBVIOUSLY BASED OFF TEAM SKULL PAINT!!!
you moe ron
it was the constant consumption of Waste that caused the chemical shift in Muk’s body
and that shift caused a new chemical toxin to be born which requires constant energy to stabilize its metabolism so they constantly eat everything in sight almost savagely which explains its dark type (to a degree)
I know that, it just matches the paint, so Im annoyed that they don’t even reference that fact
Ha! You’re going to love the explanation for dugtrio and her wig collection
It wasn’t random, it was pancakes! Okay!?? Pancakes!!!!
His mega should’ve been water/steel
TEAM VENASAUR
Not because I played Green, but because I am a loyal member of Team Bulbasaur for life.
Also we all know who’s going to win this lol.
We do sadly, I’m also on Team Bulbasaur because I like it so much better than the other too recently. Bulba’s got that status moves and healing moves
OH shit! Illuminati confirmed (dex spoiler again) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/67b91fa8fbc6f5400f48063c98bb63eae03cebed0b7bbbb4a7a446f87b82d180.jpg
HOLY CRAP!!! YES!
I T A L L C O M E S T O G E T H E R
OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BIGGEST PLOT TWIST EVER…
WIMPOD IS ACTUALLY THE FOSSIL POKEMON
anythings possible but also doubtful. JUST COME OUT ALREADY POKEMON!!! lol
There are two possibilities here:
1. They just showed it in battle to demonstrate it and it isn’t actually in the wild.
2. It was revived from a fossil and scientists were able to re-introduce it into the wild and that is why it is so scared of everything. It is 3000+ years old
well now you have me onboard, it definitely looks hella ancient maybe it never evolved(real world evolved) and it still looks exactly like it did back then
AND THEY GAVE IT ARMOR AND GUNS AND STUFF BECAUSE IT WAS WEAK
Please… They look nothing alike. Different species of arthropods.
Some grumpy Gus doesn’t like jokes it seems
Lol. Charizard leaving Blastoise in the dust. The true king of Gen 1 starters is taking flight.
Charizard all the way up! Fuck Blastoise, one of the ugliest starters ever. I hope Venusaur gets second place instead of it.
I follow this Tumblr that posts art counting down til Sun and Moon so I’m going to start posting my favorites daily. I’ve been doing some of this earlier but I’m going to try to do this every day!

Pikipek has toucans too many
I really do love the pun with its name. Truly someone earned their internet cookie with that one.
yay! nom
I was more referring to the PIkiformes, but good pun as well Star.
…
can I get another cookie then?
Here you go:

Yes.

As long as it’s not a 3rd party tracking cookie.
Eh, toucan play at that game…
You want to fight? I have one hundred and toucan-ons ready to fire!!
Topikitopeki
Can’t believe pikachu has the lowest number of votes
1: It’s bland compared to its other forms
2: Special treatment (truly the bane of the pokemon fandom)
3: Ash’s Pikachu sucks
And Charizard doesn’t get special treatment? xD
Too be fair though, Charizard earned its special treatment, where pikachu was just handed it.
It’s super annoying though, even if it was chosen by the fans.
Charizard is love
It’s not the Pokemon’s fault the trainer can’t draw out its true and greatest potential… 😀
Good point actually
Throw a thunderstone at it
Pikachu is not really any more bland than anything else from Gen 1 to be honest.
Charizard and pikachu are so overrated. There are many better dragons. And that thing is only popular because it’s the mascot, otherwise no one gives a crap about midddle evolutions. Venusaur and blastoise are much cooler.
DONT LET CHARIZARD WIN. GETS TOO MUCH ATTENTION AS IT IS.
My class got so salty over me saying I prefer Venusaur over Charizard and Blastoise. And this boy in front of me was like, “Blastoise is much better.” It was a miracle I managed through the day without ACCIDENTALLY killing someone.
How did Pokemon come up? My class is 75% just talking and 25% teaching, but the material is quite easy, so it’s not much of a negative point.
honestly Venusaur doesn’t get enough love
Ken sugijori doesn’t even like it…
I think it is so cool! Really embodies the grass type.
Yeah its his least favourite apparently
I love it, recently I think it’s better than Charizard and Blastoise
My first leaf green play through I used it and it killed the competition
I’m actually using it in a current play through, and Ivysaur rocks, with that Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, and Poison Powder so far
Yay for more Venasaur love! 😀
On the topic of special treatment and overrated pokemon, do you ever think thats probably the reason the some pokemon kind of fly under the radar? Like GF and Nintendo play favourites so much and focus on the same pokemon over an over again that there are a lot of pokemon with like so much potential that are basically just created and ignored
Ninetales and Empoleon come to mind… I’m beginning to think they don’t want people to like fire type starters
Gen 5 comes to mind, there should have been a few more Megas for it at least.
I kinda realized the problem I have with mythicals. I can never use them! They are always banned in tournaments, they are rarely able to be obtained, when they are they are usually too powerful to use in game, like there is no time you can really use them!
I missed Mew in February and in July v.V
I remember getting the event mew for Heartgold and it one shot whitneys miltank with metronome(super power) best day ever
I have a Mew in diamond. The only legendaries I do not have if counting all the ones across gens 4/5/& 6 I am only missing Volcanion, Shaymin, Celebi, Arceus and Genesect.
I’m missing one stupid legendary and it’s meloetta
Oh yeah her well she is out in less than two months. I have a victini with v create, fusion bolt, and fusion flare and then i have the one from last month x3
Same here! Can’t wait for the event in December!
Going to be wondertrading my entire living dex the next few days to start over before Sun and Moon comes out. Can’t wait to marathon FR,HG,OR,Pt,W,W2 and X for next few weeks
WAIT NO WHY
I have extra Mythicals so I won’t be trading them away or all the teams I’ve made but I just want something to do
Why you do this???
Im a masochist
a moronic masochist
But it’s so easy to make a living dex now with Nintendo giving out all the mythicals and ORAS basically being a legendary safari zone
I was going to do the living dex but I decided to wait until SM.
Also I’m planning a marathon too, but it’s much less ambitious. It’s the latter half of HGSS (having trouble with the league, my team is like LV 37) and then X probably.
What’s your team?
Typhlosion
Bellosom
Slowking
Mismagius
Ambipom
Crobat
The only thing I disliked about HGSS was the grinding. They’re my second favorite games in the main series and would easily be my favorite if it wasn’t for that. The Exp.all would’ve worked perfectly for those games
you’re not wrong
Same here. They did so many things right, but the difficulty curve was the worst of any pokemon game.
Yeah. They definitely put a lot of effort into those games. Hell even the pokeathlon was cool
How are you about to marathon them?
I’m just going to play them in order at home. Not online or anything if that’s what your asking. I did think about doing that though
No, I mean like how are you about to do that in 25 days
I’ll probably only use 1 party member for each run to make it faster. Use the time that I would’ve used leveling to catch Pokémon. I play fast so I should be able to do it…. maybe
I predict failure
I am currently playing AS with the exp share off. I currently have a Mightyena, Combusken, Lombre, Skitty, Ralts. and Electrike and I have having problems with Wattson. I decided to go train on the trainers near the daycare, I feel like I failed. xC
Once you train up alittle but you will be fine 🙂
Right now playing to compete with my brother in AS v.s. X
My team
Grotel
Tranquil
Aron
Hitmonchan

Jasmine Masters was funny as hell, tbh Season 7 was so strong
also screw charizard, blastoise ftw
my name is Jasmine Masters and I have something to say!
*fixes wig*
*clears throat*
RUPAUL DRAG RACE FUCKED UP DRAG
and honestly season 7 was not that bad. The problem is that it followed season 6 which imo was the strongest season yet
thats fair. I honestly cant argue that at all
Can someone please explain the purpose of the show? I have met some drag queens irl and they were really rude to women who were around them, so is my understanding that they are making fun of women incorrect?
not really. Basically this show is to have more recognition in the drag community. Being part of show equals the drag queen being paid higher for appearance because their name will be recognized more. The longer you stay, the more impact you can make on the community meaning more money. And probably you just met a clown queen that her career is basically make fun of everyone
So if they aren’t transgendered they only do it to make money, I see.
crossdressers/drag queens =/= transgender
I really don’t understand..
have you ever watched the show? it might give you a bit more insight into the what drag is all about
I did once with my mom. However some of the episodes they were being very crass and rather disgusting a lot of the things they were saying like. I don’t generally associate with people who act or talk like that. I also thought Adore Delano was a female until her I love u video.
yeah there are a lot, and I mean a lot of queens who do crude humour, but then there are other queens like Max who doesn’t like that kind of talk at all and is very tame. Its all in who you are. Adore is very pretty, there are quite a few drag queens who, while in drag you would never know they were actually guys makeup is a powerful tool
I guess its probably because I was raised as a princess and generally to sit still and look pretty and to talk eloquently, boys don’t like a foul mouth, etc.
theres nothing wrong with being a princess, but please, don’t ever try to be something for a man. You are worth so much more than that
People who are transgender experience Gender Dysphoria, when their gender identity doesn’t match their sex (genitals)
Crossdressers just do it for fun and don’t experience dysphoria
they are performers. Drag queens now adays have to have be skilled in so many different things to actually make it one the show, dancing, acting, comedy, make-up skills, sewing. But first and foremost they are performers, some of them excel at stand up comedy, some of them are more into the pageantry of it all, but you cant paint them all with one make-up brush, chances are the people you met were just rude in general. The purpose of drag is not to make fun of women, like at all
I get it now, I’m generally put off by stand up comedy and comedic, I understand now why I don’t comprehend it. Sorry..
oh its all good
I loved season 6 <3
If you were locked in a room for 3 months with no internet, what three games would you bring? (No internet so no games that rely upon online to play. So no Overwatch or anything like that)
1. Pokemon Alpha Sapphire
2. Stardew Valley
3. Minecraft
Sims 3 (Endless play time.)
Kingdom Hearts 2
Harvest Moon.
To be honest I would probably not finish them because I need internet help so much.
1. Minecraft

You have to have games with a lot to do in them or ya might go crazy
DQ7 is awesome! Can’t wait for DQ8 to come out!
I just got it the other day and I am HOOKED!
Only 3… crap well let’s see I’ll pick
1. Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
2. Yo-kai Watch 2 Bony Spirits
3. Skylanders Trap Team (sadly stopped playing but I plan to get back into it)
Or for 3 Minecraft like you
I played the original skylanders on ps3.
i wish my brother still liked Skylanders
he liked the first two games but that’s when his dry boring sarcastic wit was born
now he’s no fun to be around
i probably have over 250+$ worth of Skylander figures luckily they were easy to shop lift
The First two I loved
Third was horrible
Fourth was great
Fifth only cause to get regular play I had to get it for PS3 and I had no clue how to play so I gave up yet I have a small plan that if what I think my dad was questioning me about I may be getting Imaginators for Christmas, yet I might to get some more money I might just sell my Swap force and Super Chargers games because I uhh… blew my money for Moon on other stuff
Definitely Minecraft since it’s a great time killer. Final Fantasy 10 and Dark Cloud 2 because I really need to finish those games and they take forever to do that.
1. Pokemon Alpha Sapphire
2. finish Chrono Cross (It’s very good!)
3. finish Tales of Vesperia
The World Ends With You
Mega Man Zero Collection
Skyrim
1. Pokemon White 2/Crystal
2. Earthbound (It cool if I counted both?)
3. Super Mario Galaxy/ Batman: Arkham City
SPOILERS
Ok so what do you all think about this: http://imgur.com/a/bJSBv
Personally I don’t really see it other than the eyes, but it’s sorta interesting to think about.
I just see my ideal choice of an island guardian. x3
I think it’s sorta coincidental lol.
I certainly hope it is, it’s one of the reasons why I believe the leaks are incomplete.
that one is my favourite but I don’t see the resemblance
Look at the nostrils as if they were eyes and the eyes as if they were hands. Other than that there’s not much.
That design is on fire imo.
It looks good when it’s open, but tbh I can’t imagine how it’ll look when closed.
If going by logic I would assume it is the second one from the bottom.
Wait what? I’m lost.
Being that they are based on a totem pole and everything. I would assume that the yellow one would be the base, the pink one above the yellow, then the red, and finally the purple as a topper and generally speaking totem poles usually have a set of four or five specific animals that all relate to one another or the environment in which they live in important ways usually because of their role in the ecosystem but also lore of the natives.
I’d say second from top, since Tapu Koko is clearly top.
You’re probably right.
People are stretching like crazy to make this thing resemble something
They need to make the rational conclusion: the dex isn’t complete.
Plot Twist: The Strange Souvenir isn’t from Alola. Alola was just a red herring
OH MY GAWD!!! IF THE NEXT REGION IS BASED ON CANADA THEY COULD HAVE LEGENDARIES LIKE THE TAPU POKEMON AS WELL!!!! MORE TOTEMS!!! only they would probs be like grass or something
i love canada
I live here, so me too, and it would be full of ice types
not a fan of canada
Would you say you aren’t a….
Fanada?
Light em up
*Precision airstrike*
we have literally done nothing to you…? we’re just up here chillen (sometimes literally)
I am jealous of your weather…Its like 80 here in Winter xC
thats like 26 Celsius, we can get up to like 30 something in the summer and in the winter it can go as low as like -20 celsius
funny thing I went to florida once and found it cold lol, I’m not suited to live here

Fair enough, I’ll accept that
why?
What? I don’t live there but of what I see it looks beautiful
I’m more prone to Australia or Italy myself
Well we could always use more ice types.
I’m hoping for a Greece/Rome themed region tbh
I’d honestly like Britain, though I’d have said a Lion, Unicorn and Dragon legends but with Solgaleo Lion seems unlikely.

What is that!
Something about NX
: )
since i’m bored i thought i’d enlighten our spirits with this

I saw this months ago, still laughing just as hard
Exeggutor is still having a good time

I wish this was real! It would go with my Special XY 3DS
dream the impossible dream. Mostly because Sun and Moon requires two screens, which the switch will never have.
That, and people tend to be quickly disappointed when you give them exactly what they ask for, only to realize it doesn’t really work well.
I hate lumiose city. Especially with how your perspective changes as soon as you exit buildings. It screws me up.
Seriously one of the worst designed areas in the seriors
It’s probably my least favorite location in pokemon ever
I hate lumiose city, but, i hate azure bay more. I think the camera is too close to your character, so it’s really hard to see where you are going
It was awesome to have a gigantic city, but I agree the design layout is beyond awful.
Perspective was the biggest issue for me, other than that I liked the scale.
It’s a little too big for my tastes. It’s just big enough that I can’t find anything
The overwhelming feel is what makes it great.
I liked Lumiose city. What I disliked, however, was how many loading zones there were.
One of my brothers least favorite parts of X that and it’s not specifically showing exactly where to go to him
T_T
a Pinsir gets wise trying to Giga Impact my Sawk without megaing only for rock slide to miss…twice
One odd wish I have for SM: I want to lose a battle. I’m not asking for it to be extremely difficult (that’d be nice though), but I don’t want it to be so easy that I never have to scurry to the center. As unlikely as that sounds, I never lost a battle in the main story of XY, so even just one battle would be a step up from that.
How about you’re fighting UB-02 Absorbtion and it powers itself up and lunges straight at you with its proboscis and Prof. Kukui jumps in front and gets stabbed right through
Shits getting real dawg
Boo
cliche
Not for Pokemon though lol
Still Cliche and a total Deus ex Machina.
Cliche in general, completely original in Pokemon.
xD
Funny how that works lol
Pls take my money.
No I’m dead serious I’d love some drama and mature stuff in Pokemon games.
Also I hope the UBs aren’t pushovers, I want them to be tough like they’re made out to be.
I only lost one and that was Siebold after I had already fought Drasna and half my team hadn’t been healed up
I think I’d like a story driven loss. One to make it seem like there’s actually a threat. In the other games it just feels like the characters are plowing through every problem they come up against.
I want a survival battle format.
I don’t think it’s odd at all, a hard game can be frustrating, but that pushes you to improve and try again. I think that is much better than a game that is completed using little to no effort, in fact, I consider easy games somewhat boring. It still baffles me that they haven’t added an Easy or Hard mode for the games, they were kinda along the right track with B&W (it could be B&W 2, don’t remember), except the requirements to access hard mode were ridiculous. I wish for SM to be harder and for the story to be much darker than any past Pokémon game.
Ok for fun:
Recommend a game you don’t think many people have played!!
______________________________________________________________________________
To The Moon – What seems like just another RPG Maker game turns out to be one of the most emotionally gripping games I’ve ever played. It is about two people from a company that goes into the memories of those on their death bed and changes their memories so they can die with memories of them living their greatest wish. Neil Watts and Eva Roseline go into the memories of a dying man and witness his life unfold backwards.
I have yet to play a game that left me in tears like this one. I can not recommend it enough. One flaw is that the game play is almost non-existant. But this really isn’t that type of game. You don’t play this game for fun. You play this game to experience a truly wonderful story. If you choose to watch a let’s play, consider buying the game on Steam or from the developer’s website. This game deserves the purchase.
I know a game that’ll leave you in tears
Rugrats Scavenger Hunt
Does Yo-kai watch count I’ve only seen in person 1 person who played it and only know of two people who played it here excluding me
That or Dinosaurs Battle of the Giants 3D wasn’t the best but it was good to an extent
And more
The Legendary Starfy
Zu Zu pets (used to play when younger)
How to train your Dragon (DS)
The original Luigi’s Mansion for GameCube
Mario Party 4
Ooh, I loved Starfy! Another great series that is sadly dead (I think?).
Yeah I think the game died after that game the only game to come to America
the original Luigis mansion is like the most popular gamecube game, like everyone has played it
The entire Spectrobes series. Criminally underrated, plus similar to Pokemon so people here might like it more than others.
Also the fact that the series is dead makes me soooo sad. ;_;
YEEEEEES
I love playing at the night since GS catching Gastly and Hoot-hoot earlier in the game this is romance for me.
Can’t focus ZZZzzzzzzzzzzz but u can retain the upvote though,
If I had to say a game that I don’t think many people here have played it would Dragon Age: Inquisition, its actually one of the most amazing games I have ever played, and I got more attached to a character that I myself created then I ever thought would happen, its a long game though with tons to do, like skyrim only with a huge and better main story that you don’t forget about. Oh and you can be gay, and there is an openly trans character.
If I had to say a game I don’t think people have played in general it would be Fantasy Life, its a solid game, it has great combat, adorable characters, solid gameplay that can go on for a very long time and its just so great and cute
Uhhhhhhh hmmmmm yeah I got nothing honestly right now I’m slaving away in World of Warcraft but I hit lvl 110 on my Monk so that’s 6 110s and 6 to go
Baten Kaitos for the GameCube.
I got a Swablu though WT with that name long ago o.0
lol That’s awesome, because the world of Baten Kaitos took place in the sky and clouds.
That game was so hard when I was little I hated/loved it. It was the one with the magic cards right, call magnus or something? Just remember that I loved the world and storyline.
Gotcha Force. seriously this hidden gamecube gem is a total blast to play, its an open arena 3rd person fighter by Capcom, where you take control of a squad (1 at a time) of small toy like robots with varying abilities and stats. there’s many classes, like ninja borgs, gunner borgs, knights, knuckle, vehicle, machine, flying, dragon, fortress, etc. it has a roster of about 200 playable characters.
Armello – An innovative digital board game. The goal is to take over the throne, whether through amassing prestige, killing the king, banishing the king/cleansing his corruption, or being even more corrupt than the king and killing him later.
What sets it apart from other board games are the use of mechanics that real world board game can’t possibly manage properly (like stealth, NPCs that move around, randomized quest locations).
Oh and it does have online multiplayer with randoms (or your friends) if you love screwing people over with spells and perils on the board.
—
I also recommend Stardew Valley, but it is very popular so I won’t describe it in length, except that its an indie farming game in the vein of Harvest Moon.
Professor Layton, just trust me on this.
SPECTROBES. It’s like Pokemon with all its creatures and battling. Would recommend 100%
No More Heroes 1 & 2 for Wii. Seriously so interesting. They’re not perfect games but I love them for what they are.
House of the Dead: Overkill for Wii. But I only recommend this one to be played with a friend and binged over the course of one evening/night.
Cute isn’t it? http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1477306488345.png
I like this style!
Yeah me to ….I didn’t who I gonna say but it’s like Opa Gengar style.
lol
I knew Lucha Tiger looked familiar! These pictures made me realize why.

For anyone who says Alola can’t have fossils because of geography, T-Rexes aren’t native to Europe, Pterodactyls aren’t native to Japan, etc., so if they took geography into account at all we would have gotten different fossils. 😛
Cuz that wat come up to designers minds in those moment.
Yeah, so geography plays little to no role in fossil Pokemon.
I hope they fix that though.
I hope they don’t, that’d mean no fossils in SM.
I mean in next gen …..but deal with that if the bubble spider not fossil….no fossil in SM.
I still think there’s more.
AND, theres Fossil Pokemon in the leaked Dex from old regions, so there must be a way to get them in Alola.
Charizard was my first baby… brings tears to my eyes knowing i no longer have my baby. ;-;
aaaaaaaand disqus wont let me vote. Venusaur is the only clear choice here.
Sometimes it only works on mobile phone browsers…
Agreed
It’s incredible to think that in 1-2 weeks’ time, someone could have their hands on a copy of Sun and Moon, revealing every secret there is to know: every pressing question, every store detail, every postgame opportunity.
That is, if they don’t get busted by Nintendo beforehand 😛
I remember the guy who got x version quite a bit early. the internet RAGED at greninja’s design, and now everyone loves it. hawlucha was leaked that way too if I remember correctly. good times!
Yeah I remember exactly that, absolutely hating greninja when I first saw it (the pics weren’t really doing it’s coolness justice tbf), but adoring hawlucha so being massively conflicted about wanting it to be real or fake. Binacle was also revealed at the same time, I remember thinking it was hella ugly wanting it to be fake but also thinking it was a pretty flawless goose barnacle pokémon. Good times indeed! (Actually, not that good, discovering we only got 71 new pokés and spoiling myself the whole dex in frustration wasn’t that fun…. How delightful it’s happened all over again…)
Ah…Hopefully Europe doesn’t get it’s worldwide release date MORE delayed due to leakers.
is that why? ive been looking for an answer to why they did that ever since the release dates were announced.
Yep, select European retailers got the games early where everything got leaked. That’s why since ORAS the European games have been delayed so leakers cannot get the games early
That’s not why at all.
It’s because of PEGI, otherwise Canada would have it delayed, and South Africa get it lat too.
Oh…okay thanks for informing me.
It’s because of PEGI, not because of retailers releasing early
Canada was threatened with 1 week delay in ORAS too with Nintendo only saying USA (instead of “NA”) for the release date. But fortunately (unfortunately?) they didn’t get delayed in the end.
so I was told that I hate women and I’m a typical an because I tried to help a lady today. yep.
Some people are stupid, that’s just the way it is
How did you try to help her?
Um, what happened exactly?
at work there was a water cooler that needed switching out, she had one, and was clearly struggling (she was pregnant, btw) so I came over to offer to help, and she said that to me.
I want to give her the benefit of the doubt that it was just a hard day but she was probably just an asshole
Wow. Way to be rude, lady.
I hope your baby is a boy who grows up to be a helpful man.
Just remember about feminists…they say men are dumb pigs and such, but they also says they’re equal to us in every way, which would include the ways they talk down to men…food for thought.
For the record, I’m for equality, not feminism, and the equality must be based on who you are as a person. As somebody once said “judged by the content of your heart, not the color of your skin”
I have a question for you. Have you ever experienced life-altering discrimination before?
So I’m thinking for my imaginary fan-made Pokemon game, there will be 5 Gym Leaders, 4 Trials, 2 Kahunas, and an Elite Four & Champion. Does this sound right?
It’s so quiet
Wake up America ya losers, I need people to talk to during breaks at school :p
So how bout them poison types
I hate em,
Most Poison Monos should literally be a cakewalk but every one of them coasts on that god awful M. Venusaur and Gengar and they’re very difficult to put down well the M. Venusaur Gengar you just gotta beak the sash or sub (they don’t even carry Poison moves half the time)
Also those Crobat I don’t understand why they’re so bulky these days
And that’s why i hate Poison Types
Even Salandit would whoop those weak ground types.
yeah no, it can’t live one second without an air balloon to stop the inevitable Earthquake, and don’t forget it has a Rock and Water AND Psychic Weakness which are always a factor in today’s competitive
Probably just use HP Grass , or potential Grass Knot, before they even get a chance to move.
I’ll just use a Golem to endure the HP Grass or Grass Knot
It activates Sturdy and Weakness Policy
Then retaliates with Rock Blast which would kill it
Underrated and desperately in need of another buff tbh
I my opinion they should be super effective against water, fairy, grass and should be super effective against steel-types when using acid attacks
I don’t think Water needs a nerf yet but if it does a Poison weakness is the way to go imo
*Groggy stare* https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1bb27c50afab8e3ac400dbaca9b5e0b9317426c8ced948fc16e80784950551e4.jpg

‘Both of charizards mega evolutions have the highest base stat totals of all fire type Pokemon ?’ What, even more than Reshiram and Primal Groudon?
No
Thatwhat the article says
I’m sorry, that should say “all non-legendary fire-types”.
Volcarona still has a higher BST. 550 > 534. Only when it mega evolves does it have a higher BST
Yeah thats what the article says “its mega evolutions”
Ah, I see that now.
Yeah, that’s untrue. Outside of legendaries and mega evolution, volcarona has the highest BST for all fire types
You know what would be the best crossover ever? Pokémon and Avatar the last airbender
Haven’t read any of these, but it exists:
https://www.fanfiction.net/Pok%C3%A9mon-and-Avatar-Last-Airbender-Crossovers/80/2002/
Did the chat stop working for anyone else I was trying to write a reply but the words wouldn’t show up. It’s fixed now but maybe it’s a mobile problem?
Isn’t ironic that Pikachi is the least favorite mascott here, while it’s in fact THE mascott of the franchise?
I was a little surprised too. I expected him to finish above Venusaur at least.
I suspect oversaturation is to blame here. Like, I was in Walmart and they had some Pokemon cups for sale. One had all the Eeveelutions on it… and right in the middle was Pikachu. The little attention hog has three cups of *just* him, get off the Eevee cup!
I chose Bulbasaur in-game at first to spite Charmander/Charizard (whom I’m really tired of) but I really ended up liking him. See, I really like toads, and he’s basically a blue toad with an onion on his back. Plus, in the anime, I like how Ash’s Bulbasaur is serious and sort of grumpy.
That’s why I picked Venusaur. I had a female in my playthrough of LeafGreen named “Blue”. That’s the best name I could think of at the time. Typically call the males by the good ol’ Southern name of “Bubbasaur”.
