Pokémon Mascot Showdown: Generation VI

Greetings everyone, here is another Mascot Pokémon Showdown. The winner of last time is Zekrom with 35%!
Now it’s time for Kalos. Generation VI released in 2013 with a worldwide release for the first time. This generation contained just two main games, namely X and Y, and featured some great new stuff like the Fairy-typing, Mega Evolution and trainer customization.

Pokémon X Version

Pokémon X showcased Xerneas, the Life Pokémon. It’s the first Fairy-type Legendary and is a stag-like creature shaped like an X. The horns on its head contain the colors of the rainbow and can grant someone eternal life. When it’s at the end of its own life, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1000 years.

There is no other Pokémon known than Xerneas that can learn the move Geomancy, making it the only Legendary Mascot whose signature move is a status move. It has the same stat distribution as Yveltal, but has the highest base stat total and Attack stat of all non-Mega Evolved Fairy-type Pokémon. Its name may come from the letter ‘X‘ and ‘cervus‘ (Latin for ‘deer’).

Pokémon Y Version

Pokémon Y featured Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon. It is an avian Pokémon with the Dark/Flying type combo. Its wings and tail make the letter Y when fully extended. It has the power to absorb life energy. In contrast to XerneasYveltal sucks all the life energy of every living thing around it when it is at the end of its life, creating a cocoon of itself so it can sleep for 1000 years.

Yveltal‘s signature move is called Oblivion Wing. It has the highest base HP stat of all Dark-type Pokémon and is actually also the only Dark-type Mascot Legendary Pokémon known yet. Its name possibly derives from the letter ‘Y‘, ‘yvel‘ (Middle English for ‘evil’) and ‘talon‘.

  1. Kalos sucked in many ways. But they got the legends designs right. Though the lore is crap and so was the story, Xerneas is remarkably beautiful and my favourite legendary neck and neck with Reshiram.

    Also, been thinking that though sun and moon got character development perfect ( a huge strength) aside from being able to travel dimensions they don’t really help much. They should have had something to do with the Sun and moon themselves, maybe they were linked to their energies or something, or controlled their influences on earth. Also how many cosmoem are there ? I want there to only be three ( perhaps per universe), I liked the idea of the original 2 and the heir.

  2. Anyone has a HA Sandshrew (female) with egg moves for trade ? I can give you HA carvanha with egg moves or HA Vulpix with egg moves or HA Mareani with egg moves.

    • Zekrom is on par with Yveltal. But Xerneas is much better than Reshiram.

      Also Gen 5 had brilliant designs. Some of my favourites come from that gen.

        • Metagross is my all time favourite Pokemon.
          My profile picture’s been this since ORAS came out.
          Gen 6 and 7 had Pokemon on par with every other gen. And the worst of all is the small quantity wasn’t really made up by cool designs.

          Reply
          • There’s a perfectly perfect reason why there’s been a bit less;

            3D GRAPHICS AND BEAUTIFUL FEATURES!
            I don’t know how so many people overlook it, GF now puts actual effort into make the background and entire game beautiful 3D, as previously they lazily just updated the 8bit and had more than enough team and time to make more Pokemon.

          • Fair enough. That can be a valid reason.

            But people say the quality of designs improved in Gen 6 so that’s why there are less. Unfortunately that’s not the case.

          • I think the main reason is just of them switching to 3D, I feel like there was a limited amount of Pokemon they could do when the game was 3.2 GB!

  3. Wish I could vote both because I have no distinct preference. Despite XY not being very good games, the legendaries were very well designed imo

    Reply
    • XY may not have been the best games story and character wise. But they introduced some of the best battle and breeding mechanics. I also really liked the XY 3D models more than the SuMo ones at the moment.

      But yes, I agree these legends were both great in terms of design. They’re actually better than the SuMo legends imo.

      Reply
      • They also weren’t the best region wise, difficulty wise, post game wise. . .
        I could go on and on. What I can say is that I do agree with the battle mechanics and breeding mechanics outside of mega evolution. Also the communications were good, the PSS really makes me hate the FP.

        Reply
        • I think the region was fine. Difficulty is debatable, as I think Gen 7 is the same difficulty. Post-Game is also as poor as the current Gen 7 Post-Game outside of the UB quest.

          XY trumps SuMo in terms of 3D models, new mechanics, accesibility and networking (imo) and mega evolution > Z-moves.

          Reply
          • Mega evolution was a very poorly planned out mechanic IMO, but to be fair, so are Z moves.
            The region was very bland, there was no coherence, and nothing really memorable about it at all. As for post game, SM has:
            – UB quest
            – Battle tree
            – Battle royale dome
            – Catching Tapus
            – Exploring the rest of Poni
            XY has:
            – Battle maison
            – Looker quest
            – Catching Zygarde and the kanto legendaries

            The difficulty is debatable, that’s true, but for my personal experience, SM was the hardest pokemon game I’ve ever planned. Rather than simply beefing up the levels and calling it “difficulty”, they added complex strategies that you had to work around. (I had EXP share off in both XY and SM, and XY was the easiest game I’ve ever played)

            In the end, it’s all just opinion, but I’m just trying to defend my viewpoint. 😛

          • Yeh I’m just defending my point too. Sometimes I think people are too harsh on XY. Post game it also had mega stone hunting, friend safari (which was a more engaging way to get people to exchange friend codes). Also had better leveling up options with the Battle Chateau and Restaurants.

            Mega Evolutions was always something that I wanted to use and would plan my team with it in mind. This gen, I haven’t even thought about Z moves outside of the odd NPC using them against me.

            There was plenty of good things about XY back in the day and sometimes it feels most people are biased towards SuMo cos it’s the new thing. To me it feels they are holding more things back (HAs for example) than they did in XY.

          • X and Y was pretty easy for me, but sun and moon gave me a challenge and I like that, and the battle tree trainers are way better , they know how to set up, stall etc, made feel like I’m really working for BP. The battle mason was dull and boring. I like the kalos region more than unova, hoenn and kanto, but I like alola alot more, I like it just as much as johto but not as much as sinnoh

  4. This reminds me of how disappointed i am in zygarde. Zygarde didn’t get even get a story in the post game. Zygarde just is so irrelevant. I wouldn’t even be this mad over it but all the form changes to it only to find he was reduced to a side quest. Disappointing. My vote goes to Death Bird.

    Reply
    • Death bird for the win.

      Zyagrde and Lysandre were cool in the anime and completely wasted in the games.

      Its Sad. Lysandre could have been a great character. A third game following XY could have been amazing

      Reply
  5. Honestly I am dissapointed in these two legendaries plus Zygarde. Before XY came out I was expecting a good and deep backstory behind Xerneas and Yveltal because they are the Life and Death Pokemon. But sadly, they don’t get any of that, as the two only appear (and are really mention) in the TF base, and that’s just really the whole “Oh they’re the mascot legendaries, the game’s going to force you to catch them”. And then nothing else is talked about their past. Nothing. And also for Zygarde, I was pretty hopeful that he would get a chance to shine with a story in SM. But that’s just a side quest, and you don’t even get the slightest backstory of the Order Pokemon. It’s a shame that these 3 legendaries don’t have any story behind them, other then they are the Life, Destruction, and Order Pokemon.

    Reply
  6. Looking back at Xerneas and Yveltal, I hope they will continue to give the mascot legends a backstory like Solgaleo’s and Lunala’s in the future. Gen 7 is now my favorite gen, partly because of how well implemented those legendaries are in the story.

        • Oh no, that’s very kind of you to offer, but I’d prefer to get the shiny on my own merit, it’s just more rewarding. You can have the castform for free when I get around to it, no worries. 🙂

  7. Well now what a coincidence. I just finished watching the latest episode of XYZ and was just thinking about how I wish the games were as badass as the show is right now hahaha Anyway I voted for Yveltal as I liked that in Y it was a bit more explicit about Lysandre wanting to kill you rather than the dumb part about giving you immortality……lol

  8. That was a hard choice for me, i like both equally but i ended voting Yveltal just because its signature move is one of my favorites

  12. Ugh….I wish there was a way you could get all stages of the legends evolution line without having to trade too much…..If only they allowed you to breed your legend to get the other two lower stages. Obviously they wouldn’t be able to become the final legends, but an easy fix would to say that they need wormhole energy or something dumb and that’s why they can’t evolve past Cosmoem. It’d make things SO much easier. I want a living dex, but this stops me indefinitely. So the only way to get both Cosmog and Cosmoem is to trade, but that’s nearly impossible with how the GTS is and the fact you only get one to begin with…….*sigh*…..Also I find the alternate world/cosmog you get in it to be pointless and dumb. Good idea, but not useful enough hahaha

  15. Mini annoyance in sm. Lycanroc should have been two different pokemon. They have stats, abilities, movesets. They should have just made them different. Also Lycanroc midnight has awful stats. 82 speed is the awkward speed, too slow for to outspeed anything too fast for tr. Ideally it should have been. 105/125/80/55/80/42.

    Reply
    • They’re trying to cut down on dex numbers though. Usually the 4 Oricorio, the wishiwashi, and the Lycanroc would’ve been seperate entries, but they’re trying not to reach 1000.

      Reply
      • It’s very strange for them to do this, because there isn’t any harm in adding in more Pokemon. Not only for the forms, but some Pokemon that didn’t get an evolution (like Komala and Minior) could’ve had one, and also some could have had pre-evos (such as Turtonator)

        Reply
        • It’s funny when people say pokes like turtanotor should have a prevo/Evo. Look at all the pokes from gen 1 that were perfectly fine with no evolutionary line. Aerodactyle, Lapras. I love munchlax but snorlax was already pretty complete without it. There are even more examples from other gens

        • Well think about how much freaking space that takes up guys. Not to mention just keeping up with continuity and keeping track of ALL of those Pokemon. They don’t want to over saturate their own market. You have to think of these things from a business perspective.

  18. Whenever someone mentions XY I get really angry at Game freak for making Kalos so bad.
    They had so much potential,

    The legendaries Give and Take life,
    Zygarde is such a cool concept
    The region is based on France,
    There is a King who lived 3000 years searching for his Pokémon.

    Everything had so much potential, yet GF messed every thing up and now Kalos games are the worst games in the Franchise after Kanto. :/

    Reply
        • Red and Blue is the 1st generation of Pokémon. The first of many things are usually the roughest. It was also the first to get a remake, the roughest of all the Pokémon game remakes. If Game Freak were to create these games again with everything that they’ve learned, they would definitely be a great game to play, especially because sometimes things get better with time… except for bland Kalos. One of their latest games and yet it had no spice. At least Kanto has the spice of a child’s first Pokémon adventure and is the pioneer generation. Either way, I love and accept every single Pokémon game, region, and Pokémon that exists. The diversity of that world as a whole is what makes Pokémon so great.

          • I’m not looking it as the first.
            I’m not looking at Kalos as one of the newest.

            What I’m looking at is, how much I liked the game. And I didn’t like Kanto. I don’t hate it, and I DID enjoy the games, just not as much as the newer ones.

            It being the oldest one Doesn’t make me like it more.

          • With your first reply, you should’ve clarified that it was more of your opinion than anything else or it just comes off as if you’re claiming facts, especially since the only thing you had to say about it was that Kanto was “the WORST.” Since, sadly, it was the worst to you, but not to many others.

            And you probably should be looking at it as the first because the time it was created is a huge factor of a game’s gameplay and aesthetics, which makes it an important. Point being, if your favorite generation was instead the first one, it might actually affect how much you’d truly enjoy it, due to that era’s limitations. If Kanto we’re introduced as the 7th gen instead, you’d probably like it better than you do, similarly, due to this era’s advantages.

          • Literally all it has going for it is that it started the series. If we ignore that it was the first, it doesn’t have anything going for it.

          • That’s part of my point. It was the first. It doesn’t have that luxury of experience the other generations have poured into them. Now, if we were to go back to that generation in a whole new game, it would undoubtedly be great. Game Freak would add an actual story (Imagine a story about your journey, slightly altered based on which starter you choose. Battling Team Rocket and the mysterious 8th Gym Leader. Becoming a legendary Champion and eventually heading towards Mt. Silver. Each legendary having its own little backstory/quest. There’s even more that can be expanded upon!), it would look better than Sun & Moon since each new game tends to have a visual upgrade, and would, of course, come with cool new possibly gimmicky features.

            Point being, if Sun & Moon, or any recent generation, for that matter, were the 1st or 2nd generation instead of the 6th or 7th, looking back at it, we most likely wouldn’t nearly enjoy it as much as we do now because it wouldn’t be filled with Game Freak’s past experiences and innovations or Nintendo’s advancements in soft and hardware. If you grew up with the first two generations, you’d most likely love ’em. If you grew up with the fourth generation+, you’d most likely not be satisfied with those first two gens as playing those games means playing with less features. It would be less than the acquired taste you’ve become used to from Game Freak and Pokémon.

      – 1 Pokemon per different Gen
      – Rapidash representing her journeys in Kanto
      – Milotic being given from her mother as a present.
      – Influence of Gladion on Draggle
      – Influenced of Mother with Tsareena
      – Lopunny (Shiny) is a gift from Sinnoh’s Cynthia
      – Legendary captured by Lillie which is later revealed to have known Nebby. She also took it because of heavy Nebby influence (Stars confirms Moon to be canon as come on, Nebby was clearly going to be a bat/moon!)

      Basically Lillie’s team is made out of influences, family, gifts and friends. Since she has a legendary, she doesn’t use it till your final 2 battles. Plus, she has a shiny Lopunny.

      She had so much more potential. But she kinda blew it in the end. I am disappointed with the direction of the UBs they took. To think they would be these killer identity copying ultra Pokemon but nope they half assed it and just merely let Lusamine copy their look. Just so much wasted story they could’ve done that they were either too lazy or stupid to do

      • I like it and think it is a good segway to the next story

          How and why would Hapu have Tapu Fini and fighting Guzzlord

          Reply
          • Because the UB on that island was Guzzlord and a UB attacked each island
            Hapu also says she fought it WITH the Tapu

          • Did they honestly, fucking did nothing nor anybody even mentions it
            They totally failed in the execution

            If it were me (And I’m seriously considering a career as a Videogame Lifeguard to pull in game designers in when they go too far) I would have the UBS actually go nuts and actually cause trouble INSTEAD OF A LAZY CUTSCENE THAT DID LITERALLY NOTHING. I am just so disgusted with the story

          • Yep, no epic battle where you are the Kahuna taking control of the Tapu and fight it
            Team Skull pussed out during the final confrontation and you literally just walked a short walk in ultra space rather then a whole world like reverse world where you’re occasionally attack by Nihilego but nope just pure laziness

          • Yeah, the conversation after Hapu becomes Kahuna at the shrine she mentions in like a quick blurb of text

    • I KNOW RIGHT

      As soon as I saw here I was like
      “oh dang new waifu”
      nah just kidding I was like
      “SHE LOOKS LIKE A SNORUNT”

      And I KNEW she would have a Froslass, then I saw the frozen pokemon stuff then I’m like ok get over here Salazzle we got an Ice Type to deal with then NOPE

        Corrie’s easier to keep up with imo, never pinned down why but it being the best soap helps with that.

        My kettle woke up my little sister, which really surprised me because she’s a hella deep sleeper. Had to explain to her it wasn’t a home invasion XD

        • One day I’m going to sit down and find an episode of Eastenders where nobody says the word “family”. I’m still waiting.

          Yeah, I get that feeling. Maybe it’s because stuff tends to happen quicker or something.

          Should have told her you were being held hostage by a man demanding all your teabags.

  39. So quick question. Have any of you folks been watching the VGC European Championships. There have been some interesting matches so far. I’m just trying to play catch up now.

  40. Shiny chained a Modest Grubbin after 5, then a Timid Caterpie after 3, then I got greedy and without saving, went for a Dewpider who, after about 50-something, lost count, I fell asleep. Woke up and the first two were gone… POR QUOI!? T_T

  41. Just remembered when I was hatching a bunch of Abra for Nature-scumming I accidentally hatched a shiny one. Fastest I’ve ever acquired a shiny from a game.

  42. Whelp I went into the other dimension to get Cosmog and now I feel like there’s no other reason to be there than just to be there. I wish they gave more incentives to go into the other dimension. The only thing I find interesting about it is the idea that you could possibly stay there for as long as you want. That is if I’m not wrong about that and eventually you have to go back to your dimension for specific things. It just feels like a missed opportunity.

    Reply
      • But that’s so lame. I need to do something that only happens during the day when it’s nighttime (I have Sun) then I’ll just freaking wait until morning…..It just seems like they could have done something cool with it and they didn’t. Don’t even get me started on the fact that they give you another Cosmog, but it just evolves into another Solagleo……Plus the idea that you could never really have a living dex without either having 3 games or being able to get two other people to give up theirs for no reason on their part…..Seems flawed lol

        Reply
        • Yeah, if you could have inverted the time at the begining I would have completed the game much quicker because I wouldn’t have waited until the next day to do stuff.

          I’ve been hoping to find out if you can evolve Cosmog into Lunala by trading it to a copy of Moon and evolving it there, I’ve got a feeling it’s possible because of how Rockruff works but I haven’t had chance to try it.

          Gamefreak don’t account for people who try to keep living dexes because they don’t expect people to do that. Besides which you’d also have to trade for other version-exclusive legendaries and you’d need another Type: Null

          • This is true…..*sigh*….I suppose it’s just the kind of thing that’ll take multiple games to do and once again I’m no longer a National dex owner……hahaha

          • Tbh it doesn’t bother me much because there are other things about SM that bother me a lot more. It’s got stuff that it did really well and other stuff where they just screwed up again. Alt-World is somewhere inbetween.

          • And yeah, no national dex makes me sad, I’d already completed most of the dex before becoming champion, all I have left is trade-evolutions, stone-evolutions, happiness-evolutions, the Tapus, the UBs and a few eggs.

    • Agreed, aside from time-of-day evolutions the only uses for the alt world is Cosmog and time-specific Zygarde cores (which I think was a stupid idea in the first place). It’s still cool, but It could have been better.

      Reply
      • I just feel like if they were gonna make it be another dimension then they should have added extra stuff to it. The only things that make it different from your regular dimension, ignoring the day/night stuff which doesn’t even matter if you just have patience and wait for the correct time anyhow, is the symbol on the alters. They could have at least made it seem like the trainers you faced in your dimension weren’t battled yet as they’re from a dimension where you didn’t yet. That would have made traversing the opposite dimension more worthwhile. Even just a little anyway….lol

        Julius (was going to be Venus, but I couldn’t be bugged SRing even though I got a Jolly male so it got named after a guy who claimed to be a descendant of Venus)

        Alexandria (after the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and in turn Alexander the Great)

        Ambrosia (The food of the Gods)

        Lycaon (First werewolf, would’ve saved it for Midnight but I didn’t have a better name :/)

        Demeter (Goddess of harvest and agriculture, who has the sickle as a symbol)

        Babylon (after the Whore of Babylon)

        I had my whole team by Mallow (I had Alolan Grimer all the way up to and including Kiawe and swapped in Cutiefly because I couldn’t resist)

        Reply
        • Fun fact: The lighthouse of Alexandria is also known as the pharos of Alexandria or simply the pharos, which is the origin of the ‘pharos’ in Ampharos’ name.

          Also ‘Ambrose’ is a real name with the same root of Ambrosia.

          I had all but Lurantis by Mallow, can’t remember what I was using before that, but I remember I had to grind the fomantis up because my team got stuck being about 10 levels higher than everything else for most of the game.

          • I was going to get one before Lana but decided to wait to catch one from Lush Jungle. I wasn’t sure if I was going to have one originally since it would have meant two grass types, but when I realised how much effort it was to get a Mareanie I decided against it.

            It annoyed me how loads of the newest Pokemon weren’t catchable until most of the Trial Captains had been beaten.

            If I remember correctly my Marowak took out the totem Lurantis in 2-3 hits. I can’t remember the exact details though, I beat all but two of the totems in three turns or less. Totem Salazzle got beaten in one move 😛

      • I’m the only one of my IRL friends who hasn’t used Toucannon (two haven’t finished the game but have it or it’s prevo in their team), I swapped my Toucannon out.

          • Well at Least Magearna has a cute little pokeball dress and is a robot. I mean that more than makes up for whatever design flaws you made up for it in your head
            (Btw idk if I’m clear I’m not being super serious about this like you can like toucan on if ya want)

          • (XD I know)
            Hey, if I saw how ugly I was, I’d curl up into a ball and cry too. That’s probably why it’s so shaky.

          • At least Magearna is a fair robot lady who can sweep your team before you even realize what happened. Toucannon emotes like he can only see itself in the mirror

          • At least Toucannon looks like it has emotions. Magearna looks like its mind is blank the the whole time. Just because a mon is viable doesn’t mean it looks good, cause Ferrothorn is waving a spiny tentacle hello in that regard

          • Magearna has emotions, you just don’t see it much in battle because it is immensely unimpressed by your team that has been disgraced by Toucannon. She can paralyze you while you think your clever boosting your stats only to steal them while you. Can’t move. Then proceeds to destroy your team one by one all while dressed in a dress worn by only the most royal of robot queens. Her adorable bunny ears twitch because she can only hear the screams of your Pokemon who want nothing more than for you to forfeit so hey don’t have to face this beauty of machinery.

          • It’s too bad Diancie existed before it, because the dress actually worked there. That body it has doesn’t even matter cause it’s just a vessel for an artificial soul. If you want a cuter bunny, look at Buneary, or for that matter a real bunny. And its original form? The red one? It looks like it has yellow rimmed watermelons poking out of its head. It even gets explosion and honestly? I’d put myself out of my misery if I was a Magearna too

          • Lopunny is cute but in a different way (don’t take that in that way no -.-) and sure, it’s red looking one isn’t too great and it may seem to be just a robo-Diancie, but it doesn’t have a rock jutting out of the bottom of it, instead replaced by actual legs. Magearna slays and it does it while looking adorable

          • But does it really? Does it really look appealing? Cause a Magearna looks best once Earthen finishes with it

            Toucannon looks like he’s ready to slaughter the entirety of the league than angrily sell you fruit loops and hunt you down if you buy other cereals

          • Well while your gross bird is selling out, allow me to break down the majesty of Magearna since you clearly don’t understand

            http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/media/uploads/june_14_assets/magearna.png

            Firstly, the legs. An improvement on Diancies rock bottom (oh dang that pun) because it can walk down the street watching peasants like you like a true queen. Then the dress which you seem to be in denial about how cute it is. Working in the pokeball aesthetic as well as being where most of it is stored for energy conservation as well as being in “not giving a shit” mode. We have her soul heart here which absorbs the life energy of all who die around it. This thing probably hires bounty hunters to bring trash Pokemon like Toucannon towards it and she spares them because she doesn’t want it’s filth. It’s head contains two shining eyes that shine in the dark and is often the only thing you see before you are Fleur Cannon’d into oblivion. Lastly the ears which I have already explained can hear the screams of Pokemon inside their pokeballs. Despite all of this power and aggression it seems to have, it actually has great elegance and is truly one of the best steel types in the game

          • All I’m seeing is an awkwardly stumbling robot wearing a dress shaped like a ball that rusted its original color away because people realized how ugly it was and threw it into the trash where it belongs.

          • They see it as the event legend they have to swallow down unwillingly before actually getting to the good stuff

  47. Alright it should sleep it’s been fun explaining why Toucannon is trash and why using it is dishonor on you and your entire family.

    So here are more seemingly unpoplular opinions

    Olivia was really cool and I like her

    B2W2 weren’t that good. Good post game though

    Male Unfezant is actually kinda neat

    Red and Blue should never be remade again

    Battle Revolution was fun. Like it sucked but I loved it

    Not an opinion but I just wanted to say that I bought Pokemon Ranch not really knowing what it was and I only had Platinum and Soul Silver so I never got any use from it

    Reply
    • -Toucannon is epic
      -Olivia is meh
      -B2W2 almost certainly weren’t that good, but I’ve never played them
      -Unfezant is meh but only as much as most other regional birds
      -R&B remakes would be liveable if they improved Kanto a lot
      -Never played, should have been a sequel to Pokemon XD instead
      -They updated it to use Platinum in Japan. What happened to your Diamond/Pearl?

      • -Toucannon is Meh I like most Pokémon equal
        -Not a fan of Olivia
        -I enjoyed B2W2

        -I would like after D&P remake a Red and Blue remake
        -I loved Battle Revolution
        -Never cared for or wanted to play ranch

        • -Toucannon is currently my favourite Flying/Normal pokemon. It’s the first regional bird (apart from Talonflame) I’ve got some decent use out of.

          -Agreed
          -Noted
          -It’s so-so
          -Again, only if they massively improved Kanto, it’s pretty dull as-is
          -It was so-so, played it once at a friend’s house
          -Would have been handy at the time for its Bank-like purposes

    • I’m not sure how unpopular these points are because I completely agree with all of them except B2W2 (love those games) xD… Wellll, Battle Revolution was a ton of fun, but I feel like the main games having 3D models sadly makes it obsolete now.

      • Same here! Pokémon lends itself so well to fantasy, shame it barely dabbles into it (it seems to prefer low key modern fantasy with a bit of Sci-fi)

        What’s yours about?

        • People usually never do the times during the Pokemon wars which would be more low-to-high fantasy than urban fantasy (which the modern Pokemon is)

          • But the story turns bad near halfway
            It starts out all fun and easy shaking down bad guys and raiding dungeons, but soon after the one dirty Captian of the guards kinda plans to get rid of her when we stumble onto some kinda secret and lots of stuff

            I literally thought of this on the fly and fell in love with the idea, oh and the ogress is named Orchid

          • Ehhh she’s the more misunderstood type, accused of being a monster despite her civility also the era is fantasy so most humans harbor prejudice towards most ogres, Giants, ogres and troll kind

  55. Alright Junglers, who’s interested in a tourney? Seeing as I’m glad to announce I’m no longer on ‘leave’ (if more homework pops up I will be getting out of dodge but I’ll still post now and again), I was thinking about organising one! But not just any tournament
    .. I want to do something niché, more memorable.

    So, if anyone’s interested, would you guys like:

    Mono-stage Madness: Pokémon with no evolutionary relatives only. All special Pokémon banned.

    Middle Cup: Only Pokémon that evolve into and from something. For the bants, Cosmoem is allowed. Not that anyone would use it.

    Final Evo 5: Only Pokémon that reach their last evolutionary stage before level 5 are allowed (non-evolvers are banned), the tourney will be held with no restrictions with all Pokémon expected to be Level 5

    Sky Battle: Only Pokémon flying/floating in their model with the Flying-Type, Levitate or Wonder Guard are allowed. No Special Pokémon.

    You’re Grounded: Only Pokémon that can be hit with Earthquake (how effective it is doesn’t matter) on the ground are allowed. No Special Pokémon.

    • (Psst, niche doesn’t have an accent on the e.)

      Interesting set of cups. If I had an IV-trained team already I’d consider it but I started 11 days after everyone else so I’m still too far behind.

      FE5 seems to only apply to trading, stones, location and friend evolvers if I’m not mistaken.

      Are moves like Magnet Rise banned from the ground thing?

          • Like you honestly weren’t thinking Fairy, because everyone bleeping thinks everything vaguely girly, cute or magical looking should be fairy

          • I’d say in Absol’s case it has less to do with it being “girly” and more so to do with other types no really matching up with it’s design well. Flying and fairy could easily be put on it and nobody would mind (except you of course lol), but any other type doesn’t seem to fit.

          • Well yeah it doesn’t NEED one, but if it was going to get one the other type would need to complement it. Which in my opinion not many of the other types do. At least design wise.

          • Actually I was thinking

            Electric-Could say static is the reason for its fur sticking up

            Ghost-Could make it an ‘angel of death’

            Flying-Could give it actual wings

            Also of course people are gonna think magic = Fairy it’s our closes t thing to a Magic-Type

          • I will admit Ghost would fit, but not entirely since just perpetuating the negative stereotype Absol deal with

          • I mean

            It appears when calamity happens

            Death can be a calamity, and a calamity can cause death

            Thus an angel of death

          • I’ll never forget that stupid tumblr of that guy who wrote winded reasons for Pokemon that didn’t be fairies. The other half why I hate these things is the people totally sucking their dicks, and wanting everything to be a fairy despite having nothing to do with them
            Chansey
            Roserade
            Mismagius
            Fucking Glalie
            Jynx
            Any Legend part Psychic
            Castform
            Rapidash
            Delcatty
            Fucking Milotic

          • No I don’t, NOT EVERY SMALL CUTE THING NEEDS TO BE A FAIRY
            And clearly Gamefreak agrees by not changing the lake trio or Cresselia

          • ‘Oh, we shouldve seen all the UB fights’

            ‘Oh, there should’ve been more Ground-types’

            ‘Oh, there should’ve been less prissy Fairies’

          • Seeing all UBs is now a bad thing huh?
            And if you remember I said they’re should be more of every type 5-6 fully evolved types
            And we do need less fairies, gen 7 had 9 freaking fairies while most types barely got anything

          • It’s on bruv

            Banshees are Fairies, Mismagius is a literally based off of a Fairy.

            Milotic is siren and Mermaid themed. You know. The perfect Water/Fairy theme? Primarina? Tapu Fini?

            Rapidash is a unicorn, giving it the ‘magic typing’ would be common sense, especially as Fairies and unicorns are commonly associated.

            Celebi is literally onion Tinkerbell

            AzELF, UXIE, MeSPRIT

            It’s ridiculous no moon legends are the same type as Moonblast or Moonlight

            Now the ones I agree less with

            Glalie is an Oni and is found in the Fairy Egg Group. Also puts it on par with Froslass.

            Delcatty is in the Fairy Egg Group, evolves by Moon Stone (like Clefable and Wigglytuff, moon and Fairy connect), and learns a good amount of Fairy moves

            Roserade us in the Egg group and being based off of the hellebore is similar to changelings… Grass/Poison suits it better though.

            Castform could be seen as a weather fairy of sorts, being in this egg group? Idk man I really don’t agree with this one.

            Jynx I’m just as miffed as you

          • I don’t agree that Banshees along with sirens automatically translate into fairies
            And saying Milotic is a siren is very much stretching it has never once allured anything in all known data entries, it’s a sea serpent that looks pretty and looks don’t mean fairy
            And the Tapu Fini is a weak argument since all the fucking Tapu are fairy
            I’ve said it time and time again, Rapidash is barely a unicorn and is a hot blooded race horse, even going as far as Apollo’s fiery steeds, barely a prissy unicorn
            And those stupid mythical all trade fairy magic for get psychic power
            And though inspired by fairies they embody human emotions and feelings which are by very definition mental which is psychic

            And I never agreed that moon based Pokemon should be fairies or their connection to fairies and moon to begin with, just because two moves or really just one doesn’t mean all fairies worship the moon

          • Earthen, Banshee is an Irish word literally meaning ‘Fairy Woman’

            Siren is what got Primarina Fairy and Fini has traces of it too sooo

            Also, look at Milotic’s Dex entries and moves more. It manipulates emotions and environment with its voice-a mark of a fictional siren.

            All the Tapu being Fairy doesn’t stop Fini invoking sirens.

            They gave it a born. It’s drawn feminine. It’s obviously made to be a unicorn.

            Celebi is barely Psychic, it literally just time travels so they could just replace Psychic with little notice

            The Lake Guardians and Cress didn’t have to exchange Jack shit, they could’ve been both.

            They can be Fairies representing human emotions tho

            Never said you agreed just said there’s an undeniable bond

          • Sirens are supposed to be avian, not aquatic.

            Rapidash would be weird, it’s supposed to be ‘fairies and unicorns’ implying the two are separate like ‘birds and bees’ or ‘salt and pepper’.

            Celebi I can partly understand given its role of a forest guardian and its heavy pixie inspiration.

            The lake trio embody thought concepts (logos, ethos, pathos) and only look like fairies. Tbh despite having good designs the lake trio never gets any usage anyway because they played a back-seat in the story so I doubt anyone would use them even if they were part fairy.

            We only have two moon legends (unless you count Darkrai) and only one was introduced post-fairy.

            The fairy egg group shouldn’t mean fairy typing, just like how the mineral group contains exceptions like Voltorb, Porygon and Trubbish. Heck, Gligar and Trapinch are in the bug group.

            Hellebores aren’t linked to fairies and many things shapeshift (e.g. Yokai, Dittos, Lurantises).

            Castform was man-made, fairy would make no sense.

          • Modern depictions of sirens are literally ‘it has a voice which can manipulate shit’.

            Hellebores pretending to be roses is similar to Fairies disguising themselves as mortals, that was my point. Also, I literally said I don’t really agree with any of them.

            They could’ve easily retyped Cresselia regardless of when it was introduced

            They still are literally named after Fairies and look like them, and due to having no contrary like Fomantis, it’s not a good argument.

            The Fairy Egg Group stuff is all stuff I didn’t really care for, I was just showing they still have a weak base for the type. GF intentionally named that group Fairy.

            Magearna and Silvally are also manade and can be Fairy-Typed

          • Fairy also kinda goes with the angel theme (they’re often grouped with Fairies in Japan or compared to them) and nearly all angelic Imagery in Pokémon is Fairy-Typed (Togepi Line and Sweet Kiss, both Fairy, Gardevoir has Guardian Angel behaviour and is Fairy, Diantha is angel based appearance wise and uses said Guardian Angel)

  57. Phew…….I thought I had lost my Lucky egg for a second……ended up being on a Vullaby that I had intended to evolve, but gave up on. I had thought that I might have released or traded a Pokemon with it away. I’m relieved that I still have it. I wish there was a way to get more like in XY/ORAS so I wouldn’t have to worry about it hahaha

  66. I have a theory that Cresselia, Lunatone and Lunala are all connected. All are Psychic. So here’s the thing:

    – Cresselia is its alive form, the regular form. After it begins to die, it transforms into its cocoon form, aka Lunatone. Of course, most of its body sheds away and becomes dense, and turns into the shape of a crescent. Finally, after Lunatone explodes or shatters, its Death form comes out, Lunala, as its Psychic-GHOST, it could be a dead form of Cresselia.

          If you’d said C# I would have jumped at it, but now I’m hesitant.
          UnityScript is a poor knock-off of ECMAScript (i.e. JavaScript), which is bad because it’s duck-typed instead of having nice strict, static typing.

          If you’ve got any particular issues I can have a look though. Logic issues and certain syntax issues are universal to all languages.

          Reply
          • This is why I never attempt LD, the criteria is too restrictive unless you have everything planned in advance and a really good toolchain.

            Like I say, any specific problems I can glance over, it shouldn’t be too hard, I know a lot of languages.

            Also, when LD is over, start learning C#. UnityScript is proprietary muck, C# is far more widely used and more useful.

          • I can do fun:

            public static IEnumerable GetStandardDeck()
            {
            foreach (CardSuit suit in Enum.GetValues(typeof(CardSuit)))
            foreach (CardValue value in Enum.GetValues(typeof(CardValue)))
            yield return new Card(suit, value);
            }

            Yay language features.

          • I’ve been programming for at least 5 years now, so yeah, I know stuff 😛

            Trust me, the learning curve is a real rollercoaster.

            Basically this is using two enums (CardSuit, consisting of Spade, Heart, Club and Diamond; CardValue, consisting of Ace, Two to Ten, Jack, Queen and King), iterating through all their values and returning Cards that combine the two, sort of like producing the permutations.

            Imagine it like a grid/table with Suits along one axis and Values along the other and the algorith is stepping though all the possible combinations to produce a full 52 card dex.

            It’s written in an odd way because it uses special C# syntax to produce what’s called an ‘Enumerable’ which is an abstraction of a sequence of values (i.e. a list of items). Enumerables are special because unlike Lists or Arrays, the values aren’t always pre-computed. In this case, you can get the enumerable and only create the list of cards when you need to, by enumerating through the enumerable. This property is known as ‘lazy computation’ because it can avoid computing things until they’re definitely needed.

            Side note, laziness is one of the three virtues:
            http://threevirtues.com/

            I hope that was englightening and not overwhelming because I’ve just realised I take for granted how complicated that actually is XP

          • It depends on the data being used. Enumerables cannot be modified because they might not have storage behind them (i.e. an Array is an Enumerable, but so are certain functions, like the one I wrote there, so there’s no promises other than being able to go through a sequence of stuff in order).

            If you want a list of stuff you can modify the values of, use a List or Array. If you’re processing a sequence of values, do enumerable stuff.

            Sorry, got carried away. I like programming – such wonderful depth, and it all hooks up and works together like gears in a clock or an assembly line.

          • Final tip (lest I end up talking for another hour or two):
            The best way to get ahead is to practise outside class and learn extra stuff or set yourself small challenges.

    • You need rain and a chain of SOS-ing.

      Tbh you’d be better off IV breeding and then thief-ing a King’s Rock from Hariyama.

      Train up something with Thief and Compoundeyes for max effect.
      I used to use Galvantula but since they don’t live in Alola a Butterfree will suffice.

          Lillie’s was different indicating she should be battleable.

          • Really hope Mohn gets more developed in Switch version assuming it’s true. It’s funny tho that Mohn ended up setting up exactly what the Aether Foundation was meant to do, create a haven for Pokemon.

          • It was probably his idea in the first place… unless…

            Lusamine carried on Mohn’s UB research and Mohn carried on Lusamine’s conservation efforts. Weird.

            Side note, there’s a lot of half finished families lying around.

            Hau’s father/Hala’s son…
            Acerola’s Father/Mother (since Nanu’s her uncle).

            Got a feeling I heard something about Olivia having a relative but can’t find any evidence.

          • There’s so many questions I want answers to, but considering how they just passed over Kalos, I have serious doubts about any substantial answers coming lol.

            Unless…they didn’t want a Johto syndrome to occur. They gave Kalos its own game, and they gave Alola its own game. Now in the Switch version you make a 2 region game….nah…I need to let that dream die xD

          • I’m more interested in Mohn and familial relations than I am any of the other stuff in terms of stuff needing closure (i.e. don’t care about Ultra Space).

            I do think Aether Paradise seemed a bit light in the story though tbh, it only gets visited twice and the AF members only battle you at one point. Even though I knew AF was the real threat, by Po Town I was wishing Guzma would make a last minute comeback since Guzma and Plumeria had made more of an impression and their final fights were too weak.

            I can live without Kalos 😛 too few areas of interest.

            I’d rather they merge Sinnoh and Alola if they were going to attempt a dual region game again.

            That or a new region and Alola together. Or Alola a few years on with more islands somehow, especially if it’s going on the Switch.

          • I have to agree with you on this. I too am more interested in Lusamine and Mohns story. I felt Lusamines character needs a lot more backstory to truly get a feel of the overall plot.

          • Yeah, we get her husband left, but from what they showed in the story she didn’t really feel very villainy because there wasn’t much interaction beforehand. She was good at the climax, but because she’d only been seen once before it didn’t feel as meaningful as Guzma/Plumeria because of their significant presence.

            They should have had her slip slowly into madness over time so the player got to know her and slowly see she was evil. Instead what we got was as subtle as an iron bar. They also should have made her attempt a few more wormhole opening events that accidentally caused blackouts or released another UB that the player had to track down and battle.

            Long story short, I think they had good ideas but fluffed the execution a bit.

          • All we know is she had an obsession with UBs and neglected her Children because of it. But we don’t really know much else.

            And I actually like that idea of fighting more UBs during the story. You could get periodic calls from the Aether Foundation or something. Maybe even a worrying call from Wicke about Lusamine’s health for example.

          • We know she went off the rails when her husband, Professor Mohn, vanished into an Ultra Wormhole. We know she somehow dictated what the kids should wear and how they should behave. We just don’t know specifics. I’m presuming that might have been intentional so that people could assume things too graphic to show in the game or something.

            As much as I don’t like the UBs I think it would have made more sense from a story perspective. I particularly like the idea of having to investigate the source of a Powercut, but that would probably only work well at night.
            I would have thought more like Lusamine turning up to tell you in person (when Lillie isn’t around) about the incident, where she feigns concern really well, but after you defeat it and let it return to the wormhole she starts to get noticeably agitated for a moment before returning to feigning niceness. Kind of like the Happy Mask Salesman in Majora’s mask. And then maybe have Wicke slip you a note asking for help or looking worried or something (especially since they went out of their way to be able to animate the characters’ faces this time).

          • It’s one hell of an understatement though

            It just doesn’t feel right to call it leaving when it involves extradimensional animals and sci-fi bs

          • Totally agree, I loved Lusamine by the end, but we’re first introduced to her in a way that has her come across as benevolent, although a little eccentric. Then suddenly we meet her again and she’s totally different. It makes sense in the way that she was just faking being good, but I would have also enjoyed seeing a bit more development in her slipping into madness.

          • She wasn’t really that benevolent in the first encounter tbh, she had an evil smile when the UB showed up. She hadn’t even been talking for long before that. She was practically a stranger.

          • By the end of it all I quite liked Plumeria, having the guts to appologise. Also for a villain-hero switch it seemed justified since she always cared about the grunts.

            Wish Skull had more admins though.

          • I don’t like the chavviness of the hand waving or grafitti and the grunts are mostly meh, but their two leaders are interesting.

          • Yeah, I really want to get further info on Mohn and Lusamine and it’s so tragic really…we know Mohn and where he is, and we can never tell Lusamine or her children…

            Aether Paradise was definitely light on story. You got there once, meet them, and then the next time it’s because they are bad.

            It just bothers me that Kalos didn’t get the fleshed out game it deserved imo. But there are a lot of connections with Kalos and Alola so far. I guess the same can be said for Alola and Kanto, but Alola even has a Zygarde cave!! If they do do a follow up to Alola, I hope they don’t just put gyms into those empty plots…I’d rather a combination of gyms and totem battles.

          • That kinda falls down since any trainer who beat Kiawe should know about Mohn. For Lillie and Gladion to not know they must not meet a lot of people or not know their father’s name or something weird.

            Yeah, it felt really weird. The idea of having a seemingly good team turn out bad is a good one, but they fluffed it but not making the player care about the team. They felt like a background force or a cameo for most of the game.

            It didn’t, but tbh I think it would need more development to be interesting, a lot of the places were quite bland. Aside from the Chateau on the lake, the autumnal swamp path, the big tree town and maybe the central city, most of it felt quite bare or uninteresting. Especially when the main story leaves a massive hole in the ground.

            I don’t care much for totem battles, I only found 2 of them to be challanging. One of them I actually took out the totem in one hit. Tbh I missed gyms more than I was expecting, the trials weren’t very challenging.

            I think if they go back to gyms I think the best way to improve them would be to have them hidden away in hard to reach locations instead of having them smack in the middle of a town.

            For example, have a grass gym hidden deep in a forest (like the Old Chateau was), have a Rock Gym deep within a cave, a Ground Gym deep within a dessert, a Flying gym up a Mountain, a Ghost gym in a graveyard/as a church, a water Gym actually underwater, a Fire gym atop a volcano (like Wela Park), a Dragon gym atop a tall tower, a Bug gym in rainforest on an island, a Dark gym in an abandonned city, et cetera et cetera

            And maybe make the gym leader’s last pokemon have a totem boost or something, but without the SOS calling.

          • I’m the opposite, Kalos to me had a lot of varying places, it’s just there was nothing to do in many of them. Heck, I feel that way about Alola too. The golf course, the power plant, the hotel in HeaHea, and the Hano Grand Resort as well (seriously? 1 floor is all we get?), so many places that just seem to exist with nothing of substance to them.

            I like how you said the main story leaves a massive hole in the ground…because it literally did lmfao xD

            I would honestly love if Gym Leaders got a totem boost. I think that whole mechanic was great.

          • Eh, everything from beyond the aquarium up to and including the dessert was forgettable (except for maybe one cave). Everything after the big-tree town to victory road was also mostly forgettable, except maybe that forest and the pokemon haven.
            Victory road was pretty decent to be fair.

            Yeah, the golf course really annoys be because it’s on the map and actually visible right behind the wall near the Pyuku-guy. Heck, it’s signposted. And yeah, the hotels were horribly barren. And I was half expecting to get into the powerplant, but I guess that’s becoming a trope now.

            I meant it literally, as opposed to being able Zygarde XP

            I didn’t think it added much challenge tbh, I hardly noticed the boost in anything but the first and last totems. I’d rather have the levels adapt themselves to match your team so you’re forced to play strategy instead of trying to outlevel the other team. Or make all Pokemon temporarily a fixed level during gym battles, then add exp at the end.

          • I feel like the golf course was cut content for whatever reason. It takes up so much of the island for it not to be visited.
            I’m the same in that I only noticed it in a couple fights, but anything and everything to up the difficulty is great in my book.

          • I’m thinking Kahili was supposed to be another captain, but they decided getting the Fly-crystal was too OP at that point or something (maybe because of Toucannon).

          • Keep that dream alive. Personally I hate half finished stories and im getting the same vibe from SuMo that I got from XY.

            That there is more to it. Surely they have to tie things up

          • I’ve been getting an XY vibe too, but in things other than just the plot. The world seems to be full of model stuff but somehow feels like it’s laking grass patches and interesting things.

            Maybe I’m imagining it but the tiled games felt like they had more stuff to interact with or more detail. I’m probably imagining it.

            And knowing GF, they’ll probably end up leaving stuff open. They should have gone ahead with Z, now Zygarde is nothing but a mystery.

          • I actually know what you mean. When it comes to Grass the patches seem really awkward with the modelling (they are also placed such that they are very easily avoidable). Also surfing is so limited and fishing in specific spots doesn’t really work for me. Caves don’t even feel like caves.

          • Yeah, it feels like they crafted a world and the encounters were an afterthought. When I think back to locations in old games…

            G4’s Great Marsh… Sevii’s Berry Forest… Hoenn’s Route 119 (Weather institute etc)…

            So many places full of grass and interesting things, somehow Alola feels a bit off. No idea why.

          • They reduced Zygarde to a fetch quest ;~; Here we have an amazing legendary with different forms and such high potential for an amazing plot surrounding it…and we get a collectathon.

          • Dexio even mentions this!! He says something along the lines of Zygarde is a Pokemon said to protect the Kalos region, I wonder why it is here in Alola? Perhaps it sensed an unbalance about to occur.

            And then it did nothing.

          • And not even a fun one. You should have to at least fight the cores or get a core detector or something. Time-locked cores are the real nail in the coffin.

          • I just have a hard time seeing them ever do a 2 region game again unless they are remaking GS/HGSS down the line. They are bent on this every region has to have something special about it, and Alola was the perfect storm to have a 2nd region, heck it had so much teasing to it! And after it didn’t happen, it’s just left a sour taste in my mouth.

          • I don’t know why they’re so reluctant to do it. I get that Kanto was originally only in GS because they used the same code and only slightly modified it and it was supposed to be the last game.

            Alola would have done best with a 5th (arguably 6th or 7th) island given the amount of cloud and stuff. I’m not sure a 2nd region would have worked unless it was a new region. Hoenn could have worked, but they did the remakes instead.

          • Depends, it might have been Mohn that wanted to do the conservation stuff in the first place, I can’t remember.

    • I enjoy how the personalities of each Pokemon really comes out in their walking animations. Really hoping this will be on Switch….

    • Right? I thought I was so overleveled at one point, but I ended up being a little underleveled too by the end. It was actually such a nice surprise, imo, because it made the E4 and Champion an actual challenge. Nothing worse than getting to the end of a Pokémon game and just breezing through the conclusion.

          • and? is still a useless ability even in the main game. atleast illuminate has an effect in-game, but receiver? is literally useless unless in doubles

          • Because they have given the metagame importance so they need to give it specific tools

            What could they attach to PoA and receiver? ‘

          • make it useful in singles. Is ridiculous how did they avoid it. It like they made it on purpose to make it useless on singles

          • not really. WG would not work and that is the only broken ability. So saying that will be OP is not a good excuse cause it really doesnt have the stats to abuse abilities. It will make him more viable sure, but not op

          • it is really not. his move pool is more special and utily oriented. a good physical wall blocks him. speed boost? we have sharpedo who is a superior mon and i dont see anyone saying anything about it. Water Bubble? you just putting random abilities now because he does not learn any attacking water moves lol. And the biggest point here is simple: would you really let a sharpedo, azumarill, or a mega mawile, who do their jobs so much better than passimian, die just to pass an ability. Im sorry but there is literally no point on having passimian ability do not work on singles.

          • A shit movepool doesn’t matter when you have an amazing ability: see Araquanid.

            Also preventing burns and resisting Fire is amazing for a physical attacker, and how easy it is to manipulate it in singles is still a huge factor

            At least doubles you can get knocked out before your ally

          • Still wont make him OP at all. Toxapex would still wall the heck outta it. He also has terrible sp def. Scarf pokemon would kill him asap. The thing here is that doesnt matter what ability it has, there is something that can counter it. It is very situational to be OP. And the other thing is, most team would carry the counter, because most teams carry a fully investment defensive mon and special defensive mons, there usually a scarf user, and a priority user. So yeah OU or UU but definitely not broken or OP

  87. I have an idea for a post-game thing for the 100% for sure happening Gen 4 remakes (honestly the hints are super obvious and if it’s not happening, I’ll spank the heck out of a GF member with a Gen 4 game), which would be called the Finalizing Episode.

    What happens:
    – Theory of multi-dimensions are confirmed after we get an appearance of Looker with Zinnia.
    – Annabel has begun to restore her memory, and the secrets begin to unfold.
    – You have to get the power of Giratina to help save both worlds from collapsing due to dimensional pressure.
    – It appears that the thin line between Mega-Timeline Gen 4 and non-mega timeline Gen 4 has begun to evaporate and the worlds are being collided.
    – New UB; Ultra Beast Cynthia (It’s an UB that looks like Cynthia, similar to Nihilego looking like Lillie, Beauty looking like Lusamine, etc)
    – This episode is the one that ties and finishes the long events of the theory, with Looker getting all of his memories back (remembering not only what he was doing in ORAS, but from as old as X and Y too), Anabel retaining all her memories yet again and returning to the old world, the catching of UB-10 (C.Y.N.T.H.I.A), the discovery of a man resembling Professor Mohn (it is him) and the end of the threat.

    Reply
      • No it would be an Ultra Beast, like Lusamine and Lillie, that looks EXACTLY like them. And no it wouldn’t be the end of all Pokemon, it’d be a satisfying conclusion to the theory. It may funk up the timeline, but oh well, sometimes breaking logic is the best way to get good conclusions.

        Reply
          • They have acknowledged their periphery demographic before, throwing us a bone (story) isn’t too weird.

            Also, we’ve had pairs of games where slightly different things happen, and we’ve got time and space manipulation already. It’s just logical to follow up on it

          • I’m of the opinion that in previous games, the slight changes in each version don’t matter all that much because overall that was only one small change, introducing an entirely new universe and completely disregarding the old one except for a few references and such, just kinda irks me. It also totally fucks with the established game timeline

          • I mean it’s not exactly ‘slight’

            Team Aqua are heroes in one universe, and the villains in another. Vice versa with Magma.

            Unova is more modern in the Black Universe, and more rural in the White Universe. And unlike other games, they don’t have a third version to gloss it over and tie them together.

            Whole Pokémon populations are rarer in one universe than the other

            Also making a new timeline means they don’t have to do mental gymnastics to introduce a new feature or just leave the fans like ‘lol wut’

          • I can see your point, but Hoenn was tied together with emerald, the unova series your right about, it’s an entirely different universe depending on which version you have, on your last point, fans are always going to go LOL Wut??? whenever a new feature is introduced, it’s in our nature.

          • Did you notice the release pattern of remakes? Gen 1 had remakes 2 generations later as did Gen2, Gen 3 was 3 after, and I’m assuming that the same will follow this gen with Sinnoh. Or they could give us the middle finger and make us wait til gen 8

        • I know, I’m saying it wouldn’t happen because
          1. Cynthia has zero reason to look like a UB. It aligns better with team galactic anyways
          2. Not to all Pokémon, I mean Game Freak isn’t the type to end a plot like that so soon and on such a solid note. It would be waaaaaaaay more ambiguous

          Reply
          • Fine, at least have a partial thing happen like have Anabel end up remembering and her able to connect to the other world, that’s all I want.

    • Multiple dimensions are already confirmed by Black and White (differing areas and the Charge sidequest) as well as SuMo (Ultra Space and the day/night dimensional shift)

      Reply
        • Just like people blindly wanted Primarina to be Fairy?

          There is evidence for Stars, namely plot points that have went unused (even more than Kalos IMO) that can’t just be thrown into remakes and the fact a highly regarded person ‘leaked’ it. And it may not happen, but saying there’s no evidence is dumb.

          But you’re the guy who argued against leakers who blatantly got stuff right soooo

          Reply
          • Stop throwing things in just to sound smart.
            There is very little evidence that Stars is going to be Gen 4, Sun and Moon is barely a year old

            And what unused plots are you even talking about, details and facts make a stronger speculation rather then wild assumption

          • Just pointing out the last time you’ve dismissed stuff that came true.

            Also, what? Who the hell said anything about Stars being Gen IV?

          • And I’m pointing out you said unused plots, what are they

            And I must’ve misread that, but Sinnoh is definitely not for a while and we should hope this so called Stars fixes everything they half-assed

          • I wouldn’t say they half-assed much tbh, Ultra Beasts and Tapu Cutscenes would be demanding and would take time and resources when it wasn’t at all crucial (if anything, that’d be a luxury so they didn’t half ass shit, they just didn’t go OTT), Hyper Training would be hard to balance between frustrating and making competitive a cakewalk (they need to lower the necessary level though), the story was amazing but you have to search some of it out.

            *cough cough*

            Lusamine and Lillie’s journey in Kanto-will she ever get better? Will we see Lillie progress as a trainer?

            Everything about Mohn

            Gladion as the Aether President

            Hau’s goals to become an Island Kahuna (perfect because his grandad now has another gig)

            Where’s the third Type: Null?

            And those are just the ones I remember.

            Also, there’s plenty of hints for Sinnoh this Gen, but I’ll wait for your response to this one because the post is getting big

          • No, I mean I was waiting for you to argue back about the Stars plot points because we were talking about both Stars and remakes.

          • Well I mean

            -It’s logical, they’re the Gen after the last ones to be released (III Remakes)

            -Ultra Beasts tie in very well with Sinnoh (legendaries who were born outside of our universe and regularly traverse them-Creation Trio were like the OG Ultra Beasts)

            -Research on the construction of Type: Full (later contained as Type: Null and then when freed from the harness it was renamed Silvally) was performed at the Canalave Library.

            -That, along with its appearance (especially the helmet) and ability (RKS System) makes it clear its based off of Arceus, a Sinnohan Legend.

            -The games will be eleven years old next Gen.

            -D/P was the end of an era for Pokémon: the first four Gens felt similar, especially due to all being the based on Japan. SuMo (and Gen VII) is possibly the end of an era (Pokémon being an exclusively handheld game) if they Switch to the Switch.

            And that’s just a few. Others are smaller details, but details just the same.

          • Ok this, THIS is compiled data
            Mostly just the UB dimension and the canalave library

            Some feel like stretching

            -Dogs
            -Cats
            -Common Birds
            -Regional ‘Rodents’
            -Small Mammals

            Although I’d imagine that some Pokémon would be common on one place and rare in another, like a good amount of African trainers having Zebstrika when other continents have Rapidash and Mudsdale

            Also I just realised that two of your favourite Pokémon would be African. Curious question, would you go to another continent just to catch them?

          • Funny thing that all known Pachyderm Pokemon are Ground types
            And I really freaking love Hippos

            But the story is I received my Rhyhorn from my Great Aunt as a gift, a newborn calf who soon to become the towering King of the Earth,

          • TBF they are the perfect Ground-Type animal class, hefty, heavy set and burly.

            Wait, is this in the Pokémon world or a Pokémon version of our world?

          • Version of our world
            But my Trainersona has two incarnations
            My regular self and the highly focused Ground user

          • Do you honestly think sometimes I get tired of only having Ground types? Not often but I like others, for instance my regular self walkabout team is
            Emboar
            Rhyperior
            Heracross
            Aerodactyl
            Aggron
            Pangoro

          • Nah, I get how you feel. I may be named after them but holy fuck would it get boring after I while.

            My random team would probs be

            Primarina (Starter)
            Lilligant
            Salazzle
            Non-Alolan Raichu
            Dragalge
            Klinklang

          • Agreed. SERIOUSLY I’ve been doing this for at least 4 years. do you know how annoying it is to constantly fear scald or leech seed

            Granted this team is no better. Im just naturally drawn to ground, fire, rock and fighting types

            But one day, I want Aerodactyl as a Pokeride, it’s just a Pokemon I have a bizarre connection with

          • I’m naturally drawn to elegance and cuteness, so I understand how it feels to not be fully able to escape from preferences :p

            I mean it does make sense, it’s a fucking badass wyvern-ish (has multiple traits pteradons don’t have but who cares it just makes it cooler) pterodactyl that still has an earth-based type

  90. Another question! (Sorry if these are annoying anyone, I’m just excited homework had died down so I can be back faster and more frequently then I thought!)

    What Pokémon would live in your city? For interests of your own safety, I wouldn’t name your city directly if it isn’t a metropolis people aren’t likely to find you in (Paris, London, NYC, Singapore, etc?)

          • Most of customers will just be glad to be getting new faces, even if it’s a slower release. Lets you grab all the new ones before they becoming overwhelming.

            Also, if you like any facet of Pokémon, you’re a fan. It’s a multimedia franchise. Let’s not get snobby over a game aimed at kids, as?

          • Thank You. Finally somebody said it. I hate people making of fun of fans just cos they’re not the same kind of fan you are.

            If people enjoy something let them, seriously its not that hard. People getting all high and mighty over a game of all things pisses me off.

          • Not really? Especially since:

            A) The first expansion will take longer because they haven’t done anything like this

            B) Every Gen but V has less Pokémon then I, they’ll be faster to implement.

    • I don’t think we should expect graphics like this until next Gen – if we’re lucky 😛 I WOULD love to see the Switch graphics getting rid of the outlines, which some YouTubers have already been doing through uploading their saved battles to Citra emulator.

  105. QUESTION: I just registered for my first ever Battle Spot competition. I had to pre-register a Battle Box to do so. Can I no longer use those Battle Box Pokémon/give them any items until the competition is over?

  107. Yo what if we , all of us from pokejungle, were in a Pokémon anime series. That would be perfect :3

    (And we could make an anime arc leading up to Star accepting Toucannon as best birb)

  108. Alright guys, I’ve decided that I love the anime idea too much to let it go! So I’ll do three key scenes from it, a la Generations

    Grounded-Seraph’s match with his opponent ends badly when the Earthen Dominion attacks.

    Fairy Unsettling-Seraph discovers the disturbing lengths Star will go to keep her commanders compliant.

    Infiltration-The Aether Foundation loses something precious, as Jordan gains consciousness after the events at Lush Jungle.

  110. I finally finished programming a tic-tac-toe game today! 😀
    I know it doesn’t sound like much, but this is my first semester in this field, and I haven’t worked on it in a while, because I’ve been so busy. Even thought it’s super small, it feels like a big accomplishment to me, so I just wanted to share.

    Shoot, I need to say something on topic. Uhhhhh, Porygon. That’s the best I’ve got.

  115. Ugh, this is terrible, consider it the practice first rough draft of a tired guy.. Night!

    PokéJungle Anime
    Scene 1
    Grounded

    The ground shook as Mega Gardevoir’s Hyper Voice struck against Decidueye’s Sinister Arrow Raid.

    “Alright, I know they’re both powerful, but neither even struck the ground!” Gardevoir’s trainer, Star exclaimed.

    She returned Gardevoir to her Poké Ball as the Mega Pokémon fell to the onslaught of arrows.

    The ground shook again. Decidueye’s trainer-Seraph-spoke up.

    “Uh… Miss Star? I don’t think that’s what it was…”

    Just as Seraph finished his speech, he had to scramble out or the way as a pillar of stone violently materialised underfoot. Star had also needed to avoid one.

    The Akala Arena was being stormed by a multitude of men in dirt brown robes, as if they were spirits roused from the earth itself. Audience members screamed as they either desperately escaped or found themselves swallowed up by the earth itself, before being regurgitated onto hills of unconscious prisoners.

    A voice boomed from the loudspeakers.

    “People of Akala. Well, those of you not pathetic enough to fall straight away-” began. It was a man’s voice, booming as if someone shouted through a canyon, through a megaphone. “-I am your new ruler. The King of the Earthen Dominion!”

    The man emerged from the Kahuna’s Balcony, where Olivia had unfortunately been absent from. He was heavy set, with hair and a beard that looked as if the earth itself was clinging to his face. His eyes were the colour of a mudslide-what seemed harmless now rapidly coming towards you, threatening to extinguishing your life.

    Seraph had heard of the Dominion. A cruel attempt at dictatorship, to create a Rockruff-eat-Rockruff world, without the burdens of sensitivity and femininity.

    Star obviously had too, seeing as she looked at the Earthen King with a look of pure annoyance.

    “Star, you’re… you’re a stronger battler than I am.” Seraph began, catching her attention. “Please, fend off those creeps, I’ll distract the King over here.”

    Star grimly nodded. “I don’t want to deal with that creep anyway.”

    She ran off, unleashing her Fairy artillery upon the underlings of the King. Play Roughs, Moonblasts and Dazzling Gleams lit the arena a soothing pink, washing over the threat of the Dominion’s invasion.

    The King wasn’t happy.

    “Fairies! It’s always those despicable sissy balls of ‘peace’ and ‘love’, isn’t it!?!?”

    “Not just Fairies.” Seraph smirked. “Did you think me and Decidueye here wouldn’t interfere?”

    “Feh. As if that overrated suckage spirit could do anything against my Rhyperior.”

    And with that, the King threw a Heavy Ball into the air. A meteor struck the battlefield. A massive, Rhyperior-shaped hunk of rock which was towering over Seraph and Decidueye like a huge mountain of malevolence.

    “You’re not going to get past us! Not a ghost of a chance!” Announced Seraph, his voice cracking.

    The King laughed, deeply and honestly, in Seraph’s opinion, a bit cliched. “Let’s cut this short. We’re burning precious time, and the flames are meant for Fairies.”

    The man touched the golden brace around his wrist, which caused a stone of a cinnamon complexion to violently shimmer as the King slammed his hand against the Earth.

    “Tectonic Rage!”

    There was no way out of it. Seraph’s Decidium refused to work, still recovering. He had no time to switch Z-Crystals. And Decidueye was tired from taking a Pixilate Hyper Voice to the face.

    The King’s face was engraved with a smug, bloodthirsty smirk as his Z-Power tunnelled its way into his Rhyperior. The Drill Pokémon leapt into the sky, unnaturally, before spiralling down towards Seraph and Decidueye. It wasn’t just going to knock Decidueye out. If the attack

    That’s when Seraph’s Dusk Ball opened, causing a shadow to creep out of it.

    It saved Seraph’s life, without a Marshadow of a doubt.

    The little humanoid was in its battle stance, holding a braking behemoth’s horn between its hands.

    It cried over to its trainer, who had already switched the Z-Crystal on the middle of his Ring.

    “Soul Stealing-” He began, as he began the dance. He then felt a cold presence enter his body, and his eyes glazed over as an uncontrollable smirk settled across his face. “-Seven Star-”

    The King snapped out of his reverie. “Your Pokémon! My Rhyperior! HOW!?”

    His answer was for Seraph to scream “Strike!”, which resulted in Marshadow flipping backwards, embedding the now confused Rhyperior into the earth.

    “IF WE EVER MEET AGAIN, I WILL DESTROY YOU.” The King half said, half shouted. He reached for Rhyperior’s Heavy Ball.

    But he was too late. Marshadow lunged with an incredible darkness surrounding it, before simply punting Rhyperior into the sky, the Pokémon stuck in shadow. The Heavy Ball dispersed the shadows as it retrieved the fainted Pokémon.

    The King furiously stomped away, as the last of his servants fell to a clearly exhausted Star and her even more exhausted team.

    But the most exhausted was Seraph. Using two heavily demanding Ghost Z-Moves in such a short time could spell grave consequences.

    He fell unconscious, flat on his face.

  116. @StarStorm, for the rough rough draft of the Fairy Legion chapter:

    -Is your character driven by serious or in realistic goals (I was thinking about LGBT discrimination since both of us for fit in, especially for L&G. I don’t feel confident enough that I can tackle trans issues with my writings because I doubt that I’m experienced enough even with accounts of trans discrimination to realistically write how it’d effect a Pokémon character, and I don’t even and want to think about it unless I get confirmation if you’re alright with having your gender identity influence your fictional character. I’d hate to make you feel uncomfortable or anything)

    -Is she completely in control of her actions or not? I kind of want to make her an extravagant psychopath that’d blow Lusamine out of the water, but I also want to keep her relatable and with treats of the person she’s based off of.

    Reply
    • 1. I’m fine with you including that if you feel it will help the story! If you’re unsure about something in particular just ask or if you dont want to spam the comments you can message me on the forums.

      2. She is in control but i see her more as she gets carried away with her power. Like she has moments of acknowledging her methods are wrong but keeps on going anyways. It just kinda spirals from there

      Reply
      • 1) Okay! I think at least for the rough drafts I’ll probably just stick to L&G and maybe expand it to T as well if I feel it’s good for the story? I think it’s important for me to learn how write trans characters because it’s such a relevant topic and its the representation of people.

        Also, thanks for the offer! It’s amazing of you to offer to help me with my writing, even if it’s just a fanfic! 😀

        2) I like the idea of carrying away. It makes it so she doesn’t just go away morally unscathed (personally, I hate it when the Villain has no punishment) but she won’t be straight up unlikable. Possibly even one of those ‘villains turned weird family member’ characters after the Toucannon Redemption Arc?

        Reply
        • 1. Yeah of course! Trans representation is obviously really important to me so any opportunity for me to help with that is a good one.

          2. Yep spot on! She definitively needs to become more hesitant and quiet after leaving the picture for a bit. The heros can make her slowly come out of her shell though and kinda turn into that weird family member character?

          Reply
          • 1) Definetley! Seeing how we’re getting more LGB representation even in kids shows (my Persuasive folio piece for English is literally ‘LGB Representation in Children’s Animation’ , because I wanted it to be so stupidly niche it’d gain the marker’s attention), I’m really hoping more Trans characters show up!

            2) Your character is literally going to be Fairy obsessed crossover Peridot/Lapis XD

    • That should be how it would ‘affect’ a Pokemon character, not ‘effect’.
      Affect is a verb (i.e. to affect someone), effect is a noun (i.e. the effects of something).

      If you’re going to be writing stories you might want to know that 😛
