  18. Yass I’ve pretty much knocked out all of my ‘regional necessities’ (a recurring role Pokémon take in the region, basically starters, mascots, rodents, bugs and birds)

    Just need my ‘regional cat’, Pikaclone, and Pseudo Legends… The last of which I’m going to be making unique

  19. This was one of the hardest choices known to man but I went with Lugia after knocking out Giratina and Zekrom. I remember being the envy of my friends when I owned a crumpled-up Lugia EX card back in the day. Also, Lugia’s Song! Thank you, Haxford, for doing this series of articles! It’s amazing to me because I’ve been talking to you for so long. Can’t wait to see what comes next from you!

  21. Okay real talk why are there so much feminine pretty Grass types

    Bellosom, Lilligant, Tsareena, Lurantis, Cherrim and Florges

    And why don’t we have like five thousand more

    • honestly this doesnt tell us anything, I have seen people argue with legitimate facts for placing it before OoT, and after OoT in every single timeline, there are already too many inconsistencies and conflicts that we know of to place it or even speculate at all. My money started on Pre-OoT but now even after studying everything we know theres no way to place it until they or the game tells us

      Reply

      • We at least know it’s quite some time after SS tho since there’s been ‘many battles’ with Ganon, although the whole slumber thing kinda clued us in on that

        Reply

        • its deff after SS yeah, but for all we know it could have some weird twist were one link fell in battle and his body was kept in statsis as his consciousness was resurrected throughout the timeline until he finally returned to his proper body. (100% doubtful but I’m just using it as an example.)

      • can u read
        “there is the voice of a young person Woman who tells you that the world
        you are in has suffered many battles against Ganon. You can imagine
        roughly what period it is.”
        unless Aunoma is just lying to our faces it is not pre-OoT, because Ganondorf first appeared in OoT, it’s pretty much his origin story. And even if there were Ganon’s pre-OoT, we don’t know about those cases and Aunoma knows that. He’s clearly pointing to late Downfall or Child.

        • Can you not be rude? that would be great.

          Im not saying you’re wrong about the Ganon part, if we look at only that then yes it is deff after OoT but there are also other things that are not present after OoT that have turned up in these games thus throwing what we know about the zelda-verse and timeline off balance.

          But sure continue to be a prick about it.

          Reply

          • Maybe if you actually gave examples I could refute your points, but your comments are vague as hell so that’s pretty much impossible.

            Aonuma is pointing to post-OoT. There is some evidence that trumps other evidence, this is it.

          • ok well here I’ll just link you to the most recent discussion I found that made everything all muddy

            http://zeldadungeon.net/forum/threads/breath-of-the-wild-timeline-theory-and-ideas.56838/

            If you take all the things we know about the game at face value then they can be placed anywhere in the timeline, but also no where, the only way to truly place it is to ignore things over others, but that creates a biased opinion, which is why I say we will have to wait and see

          • at this point it could be anywhere on it and its not unlike nintendo to just go, “fuck it lets throw a curveball in” like they did by splitting the games into 3 timelines and then having tons of contradictions throughout it

          • well yeah there are a ton of contradictions in the timeline

            I still stand by my opinion that it shouldn’t have happened.

          • Well it was planned that OoT would be the imprisoning war but that never happened

            so that screwed up the timeline big time

          • Theres no reason it cant be in the adult timeline, Ganon has been killed permanently many times and yet has still come back after those times, he’s never truly dead

          • I’m pretty sure there’s another interview Aonuma had where he said it’s not connected to WW.

            And even if he didn’t say that there’s pretty much no way it could be anywhere in the Adult timeline. The King flooded hyrule forever, it’s not coming back. As of right now the Adult timeline is gonna take place in New Hyrule.

  24. Question time because I’m waiting on a Chinese and I’m bored af

    1) What are your three favourite types?
    2) Favourite Pokémon of your favourite types? (If ones a dual type that overlaps with your other type, just use it for the type you like best and then pick another Pokémon from that type)
