Hey everybody, it’s time for a new Mascot Pokémon Showdown. But first, the winner of last time is Lugia with an amazing 50%!
Now we’re moving on to Hoenn. Generation III came out in 2002 in Japan and in 2003 in the rest of the world. This generation is home to three games: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Generation III introduced some new and great aspects to the series, like weather, double battles and the Battle Frontier.
Pokémon Ruby Version
Pokémon Ruby showed Groudon, the Continent Pokémon, on its cover. Groudon has the ability to stimulate volcanic eruptions to create land and convoke acute droughts to evaporate water. Because Groudon has these amazing powers, Team Magma is after it to create a giant landmass. However, it sleeps underground in a chamber filled with magma. When it awakens and encounters its rival, they will start a catastrophic battle.
Groudon’s signature move is Precipice Blades, a powerful Ground-type attack. In its primal form, Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon of all time and has the highest base Attack stat of all Ground and Fire Pokémon. It may be based on the Hebrew legends of Behemoth, an isopod or an ankylosaur. The name Groudon derives from ‘ground‘ and ‘don‘ (‘lord’ in Spanish).
Pokémon Sapphire Version
Pokémon Sapphire featured Kyogre on the cover, the Sea Basin Pokémon. It is a gigantic whale-like creature who possesses the ability to expand oceans. Kyogre is also able to control water and rain to drench withered places with water again—the reason Team Aqua wants to use Kyogre.
The signature move of this Pokémon is called Origin Pulse, a Water-type attack that was introduced in ORAS. When it is in its primal form, Kyogre has the highest Special Attack, Special Defense and base stat total of all Water-type Pokémon. It is based on the Leviathan, the Hebrew counterpart of the Behemoth. Its name comes from ‘kai‘ (海, ocean) and ‘orca‘.
Pokémon Emerald Version
Pokémon Emerald featured Rayquaza, the Sky High Pokémon. This Pokémon is a snake-like dragon that lives in the ozone layer. It has an organ that resembles a Mega Stone, which enables it to Mega-evolve without an item. It is famous for soothing the other two of the weather trio.
Mega Rayquaza has the highest Attack, Special Attack and base stat total of all Dragon and Flying types. It is based on, again, a Hebrew legend, namely the Ziz. It’s an unconquerable master of the sky. Its name probably derives from ‘raqiya‘ (Hebrew for firmament) and ‘quasar‘ (a region surrounding a black hole).

Umm guys why did someone follow me then the website under their profile is a s*xting website??
They’re just bots trying to get you to click their malware site. Don’t worry about it, they’re everywhere/
Yeah what’s weird I wanted to ask who it is by posting to them they have never posted anything here’s the picture of the profile it just seems weird
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7030186911053d1899f92d86a1fdce69ccf1b429d0bcd1c5674e770a1c6b6e8e.png
Just bots. Dont worry about them. Block them if you have to just dont click on anything related to it.
But seriously. F*** tumblr pornbots.
Me: OMG yay! Someone followed me-
Follower: Thumbnail is a naked girl
Me: Oh… okay.. just another porn bot…
So I should unfollow them my force of habit I followed them
Why the hell did you follow them?
Force of habit I’m unfollowing now
and they dont even like your post. like wtf i want notes too
Yup and I’m unfollowing them it’s just weird walking into that as a website on their screen
always check their username, that the best way to know they are bots
The name was Elizabeth the picture is below on a screenshot I took to show y’all
i dont mean that. I mean @disqus_72373dsbjds. Thats her username. Elizabeth is just her handle
Oh
I’m still annoyed that midnight lycanroc is only pure Rock . . .
Me, too. I was hoping for Rock/Fairy for Mid-day and Rock/Dark for Midnight
Yeah or even Rock/Normal for midday which I think would be interesting
4x fighting tho XD
Same with Rock/Dark though
OK WHY THE FUCK WOULD A BADASS WOLF BE A FREAKING FAIRY
SERIOUSLY WHAT POSSIBLE REASON WHY
it’d be fairy to combat with the midnight, or werewolf one. it actually does make sense thematically to have it be that way. and fairies can be badass, just look at tapu koko and tapu bulu 😛
Oh please that’s the lamest excuse
It could’ve been Rock/Fighting having a sense of justice on the same level but nope it’s always the stupid fairies that’s the go-to type for ANYTHING
And the reason why Lycanroc isn’t a dark type is because it’s not evil or deceitful enough, more of a hot blooded fighter
And the Tapus are barely fairy types more just slap to bulk up the fairy count
It’s literally a werewolf who evolves from the power of the moon.
Rock/Dark makes way more sense than Rock/Fighting
Yeah a big floating rock in the sky
The moon doesn’t even cause darkness
But nonetheless it’s forever a Rock type and will always be one
The moon is directly associated with darkness and night…
I was thought that there would be some split to make the two forms opposing. Fairy and Dark are kind of opposing types.
The legend of Werewolves are technically fairy tales. I could understand if the day form was rock/fairy and the night form was rock/dark
Yeah, perfect opportunity for dark, which we only got one of. :/
Oh my god 12 more days

“Sun and moon comes out next week” is soooo satisfying to say.

i Have been in pokejungle ever since Nov. 10, 2013.. time flies
I remember joining a few days after the Mega Evolution reveal all that time ago.. Time really does fly.
I joined around that time, too. Way back when XY was still a mystery.
I’ve been here since spring of 2013. I don’t remember specifics, it may have been February, it may have been may, idk.
Actually I remember it was Feb when Sylveon was teased. #LightType
the what is sylveon typing era was the funniest thing ever. The amount of theories to end up being a new type was so funny
So fast its almost strange to think about it, I joined back in October 2013 though before joining I was a lurker for a few months came to PJN more often for Pokemon news than most sites
lol I joined back in freaking January of 2013 (back when I was called CharizardKing).
OMG
Hi Deers, i got a problem on my hoof… I never thought about what to name myself or a team i can work with… Anyone able to think of anything relevant for both games? I would like something Deer-related if possible for Moon, and something Moose related for Sun… Moon is a girl player, Sun will be a boy (so it’s fair to both people, deers) and i need a balanced team idea that would suit a deer like me~
Any ideas?
Bambi
John (hehe John Deer.)…or John Doe
Fawna
Stagnus
Jane Doe
Fawna sounds cute, i might keep it on my list, got any ideas for the guy?
How about Cerno
Can you… define that?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cernunnos
I can see that, yes~
Zazzlebumbles the forever shunned
Did you say… Zazzle?

I’ve got something a little special planned for a ten day countdown thing. It’s not that exciting, so don’t get your hopes up, more of just something I thought would be fun to do.
I’ve already forgotten about it
forgotten about what?
Who the heck are you
I don’t know, you tell me.
I DONT KNOW!!!!
NEITHER DO I
Sure. All for it!
Haha great! Again, it’s nothing big, but I thought it’d be fun to sort of wrap up the months of waiting we’ve done together here.
Nyargh curse you daylight savings CURSE YOUUUUUUUU
You given us an extra hour to sleep but added an extra bloody hour in the day and I want them do end faster!
All I can say is, I’m sorry Europe.
xD
I have a little dilemma. This is my team for Pokemon Sun:
Decidueye
Salandit2
Lycanroc (day)
Wimpod2 (if it has water type)
Mimikkyu
And here is where I have a problem
I want a lot of Pokemon in this spot: Vikavolt, Passimian, Kommo-o maybe even Mudsdale
which one do you guys think I most need in my team?
Kommo-o
Passismian
I love Passimian’s design, but I don’t know if it’ll be a strong pokemon stat wise…Although I would love to use him either way so it’s a hard choice XD
I wouldn’t worry about stats in the main game. I’m usin Oricorio, who likely won’t have good stats, but because I like the design and concept.
Tru, which is why I’m leaning heavily towards Passimian and Vikavolt.. But probably Passimian
I’d say use Kommo-o or Vikavolt (based on my opinion only, not on what your team needs).
Hmm… Kommo-o might be hard to get in the main game so I think I might go with Vikavolt
Since XY, especially with EXP share turned on, I’ve had around 10 pokemon on rotation, because otherwise they will be so overleveled. This way I get to try out a lot of the new pokemon, while keeping it slightly more challenging
Gonna cave in and buy a Pokemon soundtrack on iTunes. I’m sick of the music stopping when I leave the YouTube app. xD
DPPt
or
HGSS?
DPPt
DPPt
https://youtu.be/zCl1gwX_CVA
I never played this game; was it any good (cause this song is pretty good TBH)?
It’s ok my file corrupted before I could finish it
To be honest I was playing Coliseum the other day as a joke
I named the characters Dicky and Whorina, just for sillies
To those who think 175 tracks is a small soundtrack: At least 50 that I counted of XY’s 212 track soundtrack is:
A) PR Video jingle
B) Clothes change jingle
C) From Pokemon origins, and not even in the game
Also going with DPPt I guess.
I love the guitarist from gen 5

I thought you meant the acoustic guy lol
I swear to god it wimpod 2 doesn’t keep water I’m gonna lose my mind………….I have no idea what I’d use for water then. I suppose I don’t really need water, but it’s still something I like having on my team.
I agree. I really hope it’s water. I mean, I do still like Wishiwashi so I might use it but Wimpod2 just looks so cool and will probably be a powerhouse so I’m hoping it keeps the water type to have good coverage.
I think I’d be more fine with Wishiwashi if it wasn’t for its name sake. While in its School form it’ll likely be a massive powerhouse, but in it’s regular form I feel like it’ll be too weak and in a pinch that could be harmful.
Just for you I’ll pray to my numerous Dark Masters that Terrorpod evolves into a Bug/Dark type
You like watching other people in pain huh? Just for that I hope Alolan Dugtrio isn’t ground type and is water/fairy instead and is super useful so it’ll be everywhere…..Doesn’t feel good does it? hahaha
It’s going to be Ground
And hopefully Wimpod keeps its water typing.
Watch it leave the ocean and become a Ground type
Like a reverse Masqurain
My guess is Ground/Normal.
Yeah that’s probably what it is. I can’t imagine it’ll deviate too far from the original.
Ice/Fairy
Lol That’d be great lol
To be fair, we have so many new water types already.
That’s true….., but I really like wimpod2 and it’s use for me is that it might be a water type hahaha
We also have lots of bug types too. xD
Maybe Water/Dark?? PRAYING ITS WATER DARK
Nah.
Watch it be pure Fairy,
LOL
TBH while it’s a joke that’s how I feel they’re treating fairies
Lol tru. You look like you could pass for a cute creature? fairy.
Are you by any circumstance small? Fairy.
Do you have the colors red, pink, or purple on your body? Fairy.
Are you a pokemon? FAIRY
They’re loosely defined, that’s my problem.
Is a fairy a pink Pokemon? Then chansey should be fairy. Is a fairy a cute Pokemon? Pokemon like Komala and Sentret should be fairy. Is a fairy a beautiful Pokemon? Then Milotic should be fairy. Is a fairy a celestial Pokemon? Then minior and solrock should be fairy.
I could go on and on, but you get the picture I’m sure.
Its bug/dragon. Calling it now
Unlikely
Wimpod’s Bug/Water so it can easily lose its secondary typing royalties free
Shoot I had some hope. But c’mon… Wouldn’t you love the Water/Dark typing? or to correct myself: Dark/Water typing?
This is also true……watch it turns out to be something completely different hahaha
If it’s another Surskit, I’ll make it my mission to utterly obliterate every Wimpod I see.
amen to that
Seriously, surskit looks like crabrawler 2. Look at the color scheme, the number of legs, and most of all the hat thing.
I figured out what bothers me about it. There are so few similarities between the two forms; it’s such an abrupt change.
Very jarring indeed
Man the whole Surskit thing bums me out. I love Masquerain, but I would have loved it more if it had kept water……*sigh*
At least we have Bubble Spiders
I don’t know what to do for my teams!!! This is the first time it’s ever happened to me. I’m getting both and I’m doing sun first but I can’t decide if I want to start with litten or rowlet my first play through and I can’t decide on a team past Lycanroc day form… ugh. I can’t even wrap my mind around making a team
Then just go with the flow, catch everything and eventually a team will be formed
^^^^ Good advice. I’m planning out a team now, but I can guarantee that it’ll look much different in the real games.

Mimikyu should’ve had a friendship evo.
🙁
Yeah. I really wanted it to be like this. To kinda have a noface thing going on
If this is the full dex, while it has many Pokemon I like, this will be going down as the gen with the most wasted potential IMO,
komala…. whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
:'(
🙁
😐
NO
WE MUST HAVE HOPE
>:D
Pokedex wise, yes. Everything else would go to Gen 6
Pokedex wise of course.
In the end, the number and quality of the new Pokemon has never factored into my view and enjoyment of the game, it’s the features and game itself when it comes down to it. While it’d be a downer, I’d get over it pretty quickly.
The bottom part reminds me of The Beast from Over the Garden Wall.
@StarStorm I found your art while snooping around on Reddit. xD
😀
Dont look at my profile!
😀
Of course lol
Post it without the uploader’s permission
repost it a thousand times, each with more and more JPEG and gaining more and more karma
What do you mean? It was already posted on r Pokemon
some users on /r/pokemon acknowledge one of my shiny predictions being right
Pics or its fake
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/4m9gwz/my_take_on_solgaleo_and_lunala_shinies/
That’s cool!
Also I remember when you made that, people were calling it watermelon bat and blood moon.
Watermelon bat BECAME A REALITY
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
some being one but still 😛 i got it right
I was trying to think of a clever way to say that I wanted to see lol
I just found this Earthbound 64 website with all known info on it.
http://earthbound-mother64.weebly.com/
Can we just have an HD remake of mother 1,2, and 3 for Switch? Earthbound Trilogy? Earthbound Story? Earthbound Collection?
Earthbound 1.5 😉
No, none of them.
the 4 shinies i wished happened

Grape soda
The color swap they did was lazy IMO.
The only good one they made was Baile.
they got really lazy with the shinies this time
Not entirely, this gen had some great shinies, just not these.
alot of them are medicore atleast compared to gen 6 they are, komala shiny was one of those lazy ones
Yeah, but look at Vikavolt, the Rowlet line, the Lurantis line, the Cutiefly line, etc.
Every gen will have their shiny duds, and every gen will have their good ones.
*.
also its my opinion lol, some of them are great i just dont like alot of them. I CANT HAVE A OPINION ITHSME 🙁
You can NEVER have an opinion.
xD
Kidding aside, my personal opinion is that this gen did well on shinies, and I know there will be many that I want. But TBH your opinion has more authority behind it coming from a long time shiny hunter like you.
its also because i liked my colors better 😉
Haha that’s true for me too (at least on these). xD
But Cheeseball?…
Still bullcrap they are just inverse from original form for them
Agreed!
Only even iffy one was Sensu
Alolan vulpix is just a different shade lol
Only Shinies I love are so far
Sandshrew line
Geodude line (Cheeseball)
Diglett line
Rowlet line
Litten line
Pikipek 2 and 3
Charjabug line
Lycanroc (Midnight)
Mudbray line
Salandit line
Passimian
Wimpod line
Pyukumuku (Best)
Minior
Bruxish
Solgaleo
Lunala
First four Pokémon for my PokéJungle League team are ready. Woot!
Oh wow. xD
As a gym leader I haven’t started lol.
lol I got excited by the badges. But the last two are from SuMo so now I’m playing the waiting game.
Remember than bank doesn’t release for SM until January. And if XY is anything to go by, then bank won’t be out for a LONG time. There is talk of limiting the battles to 3 Pokemon until bank release, depending on the gym leader of course.
Yea. My plan is to just wait for full team battles. I’ll have plenty to entertain me till then I’m sure.
Yeah, everyone will want to explore that large post game island, battle the Alola gym leaders and take on the league, explore Kalos and solve the unsolved mysteries and then get the frontier symbols. 😀
🙂
:/
I want to believe.
;_;
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE
The weight of being the self-proclaimed most optimistic person is on my shoulders.
I must stay strong for morale.
Things to look forward to between now and the release:
– Lockstin’s theory 3.8
– LLLLEEEEEAAAAKKKKKSSSSS
– The election, maybe? If nothing else the political ads stop, which are super annoying
It’s so weird. Like, this election is actually happening. It’s never felt real but here we are
In two days we’ll know.
ugh its a lose lose situation…. im legit scared for my future.
Good luck with that last one :
It’s as dead as Decidueye around here. ._.
News blackout after demo is out was true, I guess.
Sadly. They were doing so well, and they ended horribly IMO.
Everyone is just waiting for Sun and Moon to come out.Not much is happening at this point.The last couple of days before the games come out are torture for some
I’m super bored lol.
There’s nothing to talk about other than a million different ways to ask “what is your team for sun and moon,” “what type gym leader would you be,” “insert your self into the pokemon universe,” etc.
Spill the tea, mysterious king!
Ugh so now I’m not sure if I want to get sun version or moon version! I hate that I can’t make my mind up! The only real reason I want sun is because of Lycanroc midday. Ugh I hate my brain
If it were me, I would do Sun because it has Solgaleo (my favorite legendary)
But in all seriousness, it’s whatever you want. No wrong decision, it’s just whatever your preference is over what Pokemon you want
I’m getting both eventually but idk which one to get first lol. I’m just hella indecisive. They both look so good
The question you should be asking is “When do you need Lycanroc midday?”
If you need it for competitive, then it’s OK to get moon first. If you need it for in-game, then definitely get sun first.
Ooooh. I’m just talking in game story. I’ll do my competitive mons later. Good point!
Hmm I just thought of something, if you get moon, you can try trading Lycanroc midnight on the GTS for another Lycanroc until someone trades you midday. 🙂 It shouldn’t take long.
Of course it won’t be *your* Lycanroc anymore so it’ll grow fast, and you have no control over natures…
I think your last comment solidified my resolve over the matter lol. I’m just so antsy waiting for the games I keep flip flopping what I wanna do lol. Thank you!
Sun: Lycanroc (midday) (you could have a friend level your rockruff up if you get moon, that’s what I’m doing)
Tortinator
Passimian
Solgaleo
UB-02 Expansion
–
Moon: Lycanroc (midnight)
Drampa
Oranguru
Lunala
UB-02 Beauty
–
hopefully this list will help you decide!
My thing is more the aesthetic. I like all the Pokémon and I think playing during the moon light would be a cool experience. lol thanks for the tip tho! Are you certain that drampa and turtonator are version exclusives or just guessing btw
As far as I know, the Turtonator/Drampa exclusivity is still up for debate.
So I’m guessing that that urchin Pokemon line is based on the Helmet Urchin while the evolution is based on the shell of a sea urchin https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2d47942bee514be87a0ccbe816d276c07553b53ffece65133d5116749d7d2c4f.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/11183b3ea33251a67807a839d70a1f9e15c9a6175016a7cd2aeaf653b236085c.jpg
Actually no
It has more in common with a Crown-of-thorns Starfish

Man, I gotta share this: Finally got my shiny Protean Froakie! I used the Masuda Method but it took me almost 2700 eggs, during nearly a month. When I saw the shiny, I started jumping around like a kid. Honestly didn’t think I would feel so happy about it. And relieved that I don’t have to hatch any more eggs.
Hahaha, congrats. I did almost the same thing before got a similar shiny but it wasn’t protean so I rage quit shiny hunting forever. 🙂
Congrats man,being a shiny hunter I know that patience is key and it’s all down to just pure luck
