Release of SM2 Brings Some Amazing Cards

Recently we got a peek at the cards in the newly released Japanese set, SM2. I’m sure most of you have seen at least a few of these by now, but a brand new set warrants another look. I will include a few in the article here from various Twitter posts and if you’d like to see them all, there will be a video at the bottom of the article that has everything else that has been released.

We don’t know what exactly this will mean for the next English set just yet. If we have everything that’s been released in our English set, we would have over 35 Ultra Rares, Full Arts, or Secret Rares. That just sounds outrageous. But only time will tell. I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated as we get news about English releases.

First off, we have the Wishiwashi GX/Full Art. The first card of Wishiwashi we have in its School Form.

 

Next up, we have a Secret Rare Fighting Energy. The Metal and Psychic Energy Secret Rares from Sun and Moon Base Set are really holding up price-wise so it’s nice to see TPCI continuing the trend. We also have a Secret Rare Lightning Energy in the set. We saw a Secret Rare Double Colorless Energy and Grass Energy in SM1+ which we still have not had in English. So potentially 4 Secret Rare Energies for the English SM2?

 

So what do you guys think about the new cards? Are you excited to own them for yourself? And what are your thoughts on the controversial amount of Secret Rares in the Sun and Moon sets so far?

  4. OK food for thought, why is it that so far all the crazy people I see on twitter hide behind weird anime avatars? I honestly get spooked now when I see them pop up because I’m expecting them to say something either bigoted or overly obscene. Heres hoping I find some nice normal people with anime avatars soon to break the stigma

      • So some person online, one of my friends, was in a relationship… Her dickweed of a boy friend had two girlfriends… one besides her… and it was clear she wasn’t okay with it, okay?

          • When she broke up with him after a while, he acted like a total idiot , and I decided to…put him in his place

          • Quite literally
            1. I first started by questioning if she meant anything to him, and questioned the relationship in general
            2. I asked him to prove that he would “change” and tell me literally why what he did was wrong
            3. I began to take a bit more of an aggressive tone by telling him the kind of scum he was
            4. I literally spelled out “You’re a piece of shit” for him
            5. I finished him off by making him guess my “seven letter word for him”
            (Blocked was the word)

          • Awwh! Thanks!!!
            My personal favorite moment is when he guesssed the word bullshit and I replied with
            “Nope! That’s eight letters! We learned how to count in preschool!”

  7. Well now that I’ve finished the divine beasts I’ll type my thoughts on them breifly because the world needs to know my every opinion.
    Vah Medoh and Vah Rudania’s prebattle fights were really dissapointing. Vah Medoh’s was literally just pressing X to paraglide whenever and aiming with arrows. It didn’t have the cool lighting and moving effect that Naboris did or the ice and waterfall aspects that Ruta did. It really felt like it was meant to be done first. And Rudania’s was just a puzzle. I was hoping for some cool mine cart ride thing around death mountain but nope, a guardian puzzle. And WOW, Thunderblight Ganon is really really deadly.

    Reply
    • Look at the recovered memories list. The order for the Champion’s memories is shows that the order “should” be: Medoh, Rudania, Naboris, Ruto. And yes I agree, Naboris was by far the most challenging. I tackled it third, after having done Ruto and Rudania, and even with the powers I got, it was still very had. I can’t dodge & flurry rush for the life of me lol

  9. We really need a Nintendo Direct next week…things are really, really slow right now. I know they have a lot planned for E3 which is in just a matter of weeks, but we deserve some news about Virtual Console, Arms, and other new features on the way. Speaking of E3, I sense a 99.9% probability of Animal Crossing…

    – Xenoblade 2

    • Some new games
      But I really want to see a return to games actually having some effort in

      Mostly in the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi department since the last couple have been stagnant turds with hardly any effort story and gameplay wise

      Also I’m yearning for a new Animal Crossing possibly on the Switch but one thing occurred to me, the lack of streetpass will restrict some connectivity capabilities I mean they can just shit out Animal Crossing new leaf II but the Switch iron is white hot and they need to keep striking

      Lastly is Smash I yearn to smash and I want to see new characters along the lines of Inklings and Shovel Knight

        • Kinda hard, I mean how would they have the same scany friend code locator thingy if it’s not in the initial hardware

          Reply
          • Streetpass just uses a protocol over Wifi similar to what is used when playing local multiplayer. They could make it something you have to active manually, but it’s technically possible. I don’t know if they want it though, they must have realised it’s underused in the west.

    • -Xenoplade 2
      – Final Fantasy 14(highly unlikely, but it has been mentioned and since the technical issues of the game have been an issue due to the NA servers and not the PS3, it does have a small chance of happening.)
      -Persona 5 (give me my Waka Persona now plz)
      – Pokemon DP remakes(lets be honest if they are remade they’ll likely be on the 3Ds since the engine already exists meaning it would be much cheaper to make right out of the gate, and the 3Ds does have the larger install base and is inherently cheaper to make games on so it’s the far more likely choice. That and pokemon doesn’t really work as a console game, which it would have to be in the switch by default.)

    Dragon-Epic Badge-Drakoslav (Dragon in Russian + slav (many slavic names end with slav) )
    Fighting-Super Badge-Clark (Superman)
    Flying-Wind Badge-Winda (Wind + a (most female slavic names end with a) )
    Normal-Home Badge-Typica (Typical + same as Winda)

      A powerful trainer who clawed his way to the top of the region only to be horribly denied title of Champion despite winning the match (some bs reason that his motives to be champion were deemed ruthless and unhonorable) in his outrage he vowed to bring Eyanu to its knees so it can recognize his power
      Ergo form a team that will shake the foundation of the region

      He plans to resurrect a monstrous Pokemon that layed waste to the region thousands of years ago

    • In the Summer version It’s Team Spring and it’s leader Mullein (specializes in Bug types).
      She has a mental illness and she wants to create eternal spring to prevent bug types from dying and to make everyone happy (you too, even if against your will).

      In the Winter version It’s Team Autumn with It’s leader Heliopsis (specializes in Ghost types)
      He also has a mental illness and he wants to create eternal Autumn when necromancy and magic is the strongest. He could then bring back his loved
      ones.

  17. What ideas do you want to see in the 21st Pokemon Movie? My Pokemon ideas for the movie are:
    Marshadow Lesser Forme (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
    Marshadow Greater Forme (Pokemon Stars)
    Cosmog
    Cosmoem
    Solgaleo
    Lunala
    Pokemon Stars 3rd Legendary (or 4th if you count Necrozma) that also evolves from Cosmoem

    If you have any ideas for the 21st movie, let me know.

    • Ultra Beast Outbreak
      Ultra Space is torn wide open and hundreds of Ultra Beasts pour into Alola and Lusamine is responsible, some heavy Lillie/Nihilego stuff, Ash befriending a Kartana, the Tapus fighting off Swarms of Ultra Beasts, and this idea that Lusamine summons a thousand Nihilego and fuses with them transforming her into a giant rampaging monster
      As much as I hate the Ultra Beasts I feel they could at least do the movies some justice by being a better plot that the game deserved

    • Well so far, I have this:
      Main Legend Trio (Also known as the Temporal trio)
      Nadirth (Rock) – The living embodiment of the Pokemon world’s ancient past, created by the natural energies of a prehistoric earth. It battles with Zernimus that causes disruption among the natural timeline.
      Zernimus (Steel/Electric) – The living embodiment of the Pokemon world’s forthcoming future, artificially created by futuristic human and alien technology. It battles with Nadirth that causes disruption among the natural timeline.
      Equilistence (Ground/Psychic) – The mysterious third member created by a temporal anomaly, and is the living embodiment of the present. It will punish those who alter the course of the timeline by imprisioning them in a time loop for all eternity.

      The Children of Xerneas
      Baressence(Grass/Normal)- the being of Fertility, it can cause life and nature to exist in barren wastelands, spurring new life.
      Resiphyr (Flying/Water)- The being of Purification, its purpose is to cleanse the polluted airs and waters through its healing abilities.
      Delespirit (Ghost/Fairy)- The being of Soul, its purpose is to spiritually heal civilizations by helping them find inner balance and peace.

      ??? Unnamed legend trio, will be based on European folklore

      ??? Unnamed legend (it’s kinda like Heatran, it’s a single legend with no affiliation with any other legend)

      Event legends:
      Rikeren (Rock/Steel) – A mystical Pokemon that, according to myths, has powers to create rare minerals that are extremely valuable. It will, however, take anything mineral like for its own, which it doesn’t realize as stealing.

      Myghtter (Fighting) – Selos’s powerful guardian, in ancient times it has fought countless enemies (such as UBs) in order to protect its region. It has been long honored as the region’s protector, and it is rumored to be in a slumber somewhere in the region…

  20. I really like my idea for the rival in my fakemon games. Her/His gender is opposite of your character’s and he doesn’t get a starter, he has a three stage pure water type baised on the Baikal seal and he/she is a water type specialist. Depending on the starter you chose he later gets other pokemon. He gets Clawitzer if you chose the fire starter, Ludicolo if you chose the water starter and a new water/fire type if you chose the grass starter. Is that a good idea?

  21. Can someone who knows the shiny swap method please help me?
    I am currently hunting for a shiny minior with the swap method. I read that for genderless pokemon I have to reject and accept eggs before getting the shiny. So what I was thinking about is:
    Let’s suppose that the shiny magikarp is the 23 egg on 30 eggs. Can I reset, collect 22 magikarp eggs, then take out magikap from the daycare, save the game and do the switch? So the first egg I collect will be a shiny? This would help if I have to reject the first shiny because of its ivs.

  22. Here is a new Fakemon I have, but it’s a mystical one (I mentioned it briefly when I was answering Earthen’s question below):

    Before I introduce it, I will explain it’s backstory. It’s a Pokemon that has existed since the dawn of time. It has witnessed events that have taken place: the Mew Age, the age of pre-historic Pokemon, and even the dawn of civilization. It has learned through its lifetime to master arts of fighting, becoming the conqueror of combat. It has been said to outlast any foe, even if it lasts months in combat.
    Using this power, this being protected Selos for malevolent dangers outside the region. Some of these beings include UBs and some other legendaries who might intend harm. Each time, it emerged victorious, saving the region from catastrophe. The citizens praise its almighty power, in which they write legends and myths this Pokemon appears in. Some myths describe its power to plow away mountains, seperate the seas, and even shape islands from its strength. Monuments are placed in every city and town about this being, to worship it as the region’s guardian.
    So here is the most powerful Pokemon of Selos: Myghtter

    Myghtter
    The Almighty Pokemon
    Type: Fighting
    Ability: Power Within – All abilities’s effects are ignored
    Height: 18′ 01″
    Weight: 1390 lbs
    Stats:
    (HP) 80
    (ATK) 170
    (DEF) 140
    (SP ATK) 80
    (SP DEF) 110
    (SPD) 120
    (BST) 700
    Movepool: Myghtter’s movepool is vast, which some it can learn is it can learn almost every single Fighting move, all moves with punch in it, all moves with kick in it, and even all moves affected by Iron Fist.
    Dex Entry: Myghtter is known as the most powerful Fighting Pokemon of all. It’s spirit can never be broken or undeterred, so it will always remained focused on combat. It has learned every form of combat, which it surprises it’s opened in battle by using a multitude of fighting skills it beat it.
    Signature Z Move: Unleashed Onslaught
    Move required: Close Combat
    Power: 230
    Category: Physical
    Description: A unique Z-move belonging to Myghtter, the user completely devastates the target with unbelievable flurries of all forms of combat. Finally, it unlocks its signature finishing blow, annihilating the target.

    Name origin: Myghtter comes from parts of Might, and the Norwegian word for protector

    Thoughts?

  23. Here’s a pokemon important to my fan region (I don’t have dex entries yet):
    Europson (words “European Bison” mashed together)
    Fighting
    Based on a baby european bison (animal important to Polish culture)
    Evolves at level 20 into:
    Youngrrior (young + warrior)
    Fighting
    Based on a young European Bison and a pre-medieval slavic soldier
    Evolves at level 40 into:
    Zubrrior (“Żubr” (Polish word for the European Bison) and Warrior)
    Fighting/Steel
    Based on an adult European Bison and a pre-medieval slavic warrior in chain armor with a spear
    You get a Europson from the 3rd gym leader before battling him and that’s the only one you can get (because they’re protected by law). This pokemon’s important because It’s related to the third legendary.

    What do you think about that?

  24. So I’ve been thinking about how if DP DO get a remake of some kind what my starter will be. I’ve already used all three Sinnoh starters in some way so they’re already in my main Pokemon roster boxes. I don’t want to double dip so I think I may transfer over a different Pokemon to be my starter this time. Just gotta figure out what it’ll be. Doesn’t matter what region, but I’m trying to decide whether I want to keep to the Water, Fire, Grass trio or go outside the boundaries and do something different lol

  25. So playing my Random Emerald i found a Tauros pretty early and it’s essentially my dream of a Fire Bull

    Toroast
    Little Calf PKM
    Fire
    Blaze HA: Rock Head
    a small crimson bovine pokemon with a skinny body, it has a squarish head with a tuft of orange hair on its head with black horns, a pink snout and bushy eyebrows, its hooves are black, it has a long string like tail with a tiny ember at the end
    “Toroast hold a lot of power in their small bodies, before they attack they spit steams of flames out their noses and charge”

    into
    Triggore
    Young Bull PKM
    Fire
    Blaze HA: Rock Head
    a bigger adolescent Bull pokemon with a stockier body with a bright brick color, it’s head has long black horns that point straight out and it’s face has moody angry eyes and the eyebrows are always pointed, its orange hair now is a Mohawk with a missing part in the middle, it’s snout and legs are relatively the same
    “Easily agitated, trainers must work very hard to establish a bond with Triggore, when they snort they spew flames that grow hotter the angrier they are”

    and finally
    Eruptoro
    Mad Bull PKM
    Fire (considering Fire/Ground Fire/Dark)
    Blaze HA: Rock Head
    a towering red bull pokemon with long imposing horns that have glowing cracks of heat, glaring eyes and wild flaming eyebrows, it’s hair now is fire that runs down the length of the spine, bulky legs and black heavy hoofs with the same glowing cracks, on its body it has patches of spiky orange fur that resemble flames, its snout has scars and always billows smoke and embers (no ring srry)
    “a powerful pokemon boasting great speed and power, it is almost permanently angry bucking wild and spewing flames from its nose, when angered enough it sets entire body on fire and goes on a rampage”

    Sample moves for Toroast
    Tackle
    Ember
    Leer
    Rage
    Flame Charge
    Smokescreen
    Work Up
    Double Kick
    Swagger
    Horn Attack
    Taunt
    Outrage

    SPOILERS FOR LION 4

    – HE LITERALLY DIDNT NEED TO UNLOCK THE DOOR??? HE COULD WALK AROUND IT
    – This episode was so pointless. Steven already knew he didnt have to be like his Mom. That’s what Bismuth was all about!
    – Why do they hate bismuth

    Reply
    • Honestly I couldn’t disagree with you more. The episode’s great and is a really good point for steven’s growth and a common problem that a lot of people deal with when they feel that they have to live up to someone else, or follow in someone’s footsteps, when really they would ever want is for you to be you and to live a happy life.

      Reply
      • But that was already dealt with. Bismuth told him and it was even better because she was a personal friend of Rose. Plus she showed that Rose wasn’t all perfect either.

        Reply
        • Not really. Bismuth showed us that rose wasn’t perfect, yes, in the sense that she did what she had to do for a cause. However it didn’t really say anything about him picking his own path. Steven simply was seen as Morally better in Bismuth’s eyes since he wouldn’t lie about what happened like Rose did.

          We really haven’t had an episode that did have Greg or Rose plainly say that they hope Steven does what ever makes him happy, and that’s what this really is.

          Reply
          • i’m still waiting for a Rose’s origins episode where it shows Rose being injected into the earth, emerging and questioning the meanings of existence and rebelling

          • If anything it seems like Rose Quartzs were simply intended to be combat medics/healers, so perhaps it’ll just be her healing some human or other life form and then asking why do they deserve to die for them to live, and not really being given an answer that can satisfy her. That would be my guess at least.

          • Yet do you really expect it to be that much different then that? At the end of the day the gem’s are just gems. Their effectively rainbow colored robots made for certain purposes. If a healer is told not to heal something because their superior said no, it would probably see it as enough of a reason to say that their wrong and rebel, like Peridot kinda did. Remember her justification for rebelling was that Earth’s uniqueness far outweighed its value as a source of resources, or just destroying it, and it could prove useful to the gems. Yes liking Steven in the others was also a huge factor, but her selling point was based on logic.

          • you’re kinda missing the whole point,
            this episode is supposed to show the inner mechanisms of how Homeworld invaded Earth and did stuff

          • Fair enough. I took your statement as being rather literal, not the early days of gem’s living on earth. that would be rather interesting to see.

          • Personal guess would either be someone super happy and motherly, or someone completely deadpan in terms of personality.

          • Sure, but if you want an episode like that, you need more too it. I really thought that Steven was already past all this and now just wanted to know what secrets Rose was hiding

          • Its a show with 11 minute episodes. You can only do so much with that time, and if anything the episode did a great job with its final joke being that people have a habit of not being able to see the forest through the trees. If anything you could see the episode as a kind wink at fans who really do look too deep into thing for their theories and want to remind them that this is still a show about a boy growing up in his unusual family and coming to terms with a lot of its baggage. That and people don’t get over this kind of stuff easily or quickly. It takes years, maybe decades to come to terms with it, and that’s if they ever do.

            And i’d be nice to think that rose has some secrets, but remember. Sometimes a ciggar’s a deep metaphor that’s hinting to something truly mindblowing and will forever change your view of the story, and sometimes its just a cigar. Rose might not have that many secrets. We might know pretty much everything about her at this point, or all that we really need to know.

          • I think the show is really held back by its 11 minutes. It can do so much more with that extra time. When was the last time we had a good episode with Garnet that wasn’t related to fusion ya know? I think that if this episode had something going on with the gems on the side it wouldn’t be as frustrating if that makes sense

          • Time’s a hard call. You can say its held back, but at the same time Adventure time, Regular show, Star v. the forces of evil and countless other shows are able to work with the format to tell great stories, and so does SU.

            Why do so many Garnet episodes revolve around Fusion? Because she’s really the only character that you can have episode like it focused around since she is a fusion. Virtually any other character can fill Garnet’s role in any other story, so its only natural that her episodes would focus on her main defining point.

            In anything though it seems, and I don’t mean for this to sound rude, but you seem upset that the series isn’t going or focusing on what you want to see, and are saying that the show’s bad for that.

          • I admit it really isn’t going in the direction I want but I don’t think it’s bad. i just think it could be better.

            And look at Garnet in season 1 before we knew she was a fusion. She had plenty to do. It feels more like she’s Ruby and Sapphire instead of Garnet. Now I love Ruby and Sapphire, I really do, but I also love Garnet.

            Steven Universe, I feel, is at a point where it needs to get to the plot and fast but alot of Season 4 was just beach city stuff. Which was fine in Season 1 & 2 for world building but now they dont do much. Why not dedicate those episodes to developing Lapis and Peridot because they reaaally got left behind. Lapis was all “It took me so long to adjust to Earth”. Sure would’ve been nice to see it.

            And I hate how Bismuth is portrayed as a villain. She wasn’t evil. She didn’t want to kill all the homeworld gems, she wanted to liberate gems from their fascist leaders so they could be free like the rebellion was. Which could lead into something interesting especially with That Will Be All’s events, but they just bubble her and move on and that just sucks 🙁

            The show isn’t bad, but it could be so much better. I’m not a writer or an animator (sadly) or anything but I feel like the show could just have a better way of telling its story

          • Well lets brake this down point by point. The issue with Garnet is like I said, Season 1 garnet can’t really exist in this story. The thing at that point was that not only did we see Garnet not as a Fusion, but it was clear that she was the closest thing to a mother that Steven had and was their leader. However since we’ve had episode’s exploring Steven’s relationship with rose, we can’t see her really try to act in that motherly role much, and if anything Steven’s become the leader of the Gem’s at this point, or at least h’es slowly taking the steps needed, and to a degree they kinda did say that was always intended. So it is what it is.

            Bismuth is a bit of a hard thing to break down. Is she evil? No. But she isn’t good either. She’s more of an Anti-hero in some sense. She might have had a good cause, wanting to beat the diamonds, but honestly she wanted to do it through a violent and bloody revolution. She would kill anyone who stood by the diamonds side, and in the end put up who ever supported her line of thinking. I hate saying this, but she’s pulling some techniques right from Marx. The thing was is that she’s the ugly side of war. That really war has heroes, and its monsters on both sides, and she was a monster with some rainbow dreadlocks.

            For Lapis and Peri, it simply comes down to two issues. The first being that every episode has to be told from Steven’s perspective(with one one episode being the acceptation, and its a small one at that), which intern effects how characters act since a good writer will write characters differently based on who their with, like normal people. Its kinda why Larz/Lars? is seen as a complete jerk most of the time, though seems to be a pretty decent person when alone with Sadie or hanging out with other people. Steven brings the worse out in them. In this case its just hard to write characters not wanting to put on a good face in front of Steven and having the two just interact with one another. The other issue simply is that it wouldn’t be that interesting. Its kinda like if you’ve ever see Peri’s official twitter page. Its adorable, but its rather boring since its just seeing her slowly figure out the world. With Lapis it would be seeing her take small baby steps in finding peace in the world, and would probably have to be shown as a montage to keep interesting.

            As for why focus still on beach city? Simple answer is that the shows Steven Universe, not the Crystal gems. Its Steven’s story about him and the people around him, not some grand story about alien rock women. The gems are a part of the story, but not the focus of it. That’s why we need the beach city episodes. That and generally its good to write a calm period between your heavy story storms. It allows people to calm down from what happened last and bring them back high when you want them to.

            But again, I don’t mean to sound rude, but what your saying is that the show could be better if it did what you wanted it to focus on, not that the show is bad and could improve on focusing on something else. Its kinda like when, dating myself a bit, when MLP was very popular a few years back you saw a lot of people kinda split when the show started focusing more on slice of life style episodes instead of a grand adventure which was what the creator wanted to do before she left. Then the series started to take on a more grand adventure tone, and a lot of people felt that the show was becoming worse, while other liked it. You can’t appease everyone and say that the show will be perfect for you at all times. Just remember that the writers will do what they want, and if you don’t find yourself enjoying it, don’t watch it. Vote with your views and hope that people follow with you. And if not, then its just one of those times you have to accept that a show just wasn’t for you and be happy that people enjoy it.

            As an aside, if your ever looking for something that kinda feed that SU fix, Kemono Friends is pretty good. A bit faster pace with what it reveals compared to SU and really does put the whole What does it mean to be human angle in the forefront.

  42. On the topic of changing the topic (well mostly, I thought of it because the school year’s almost over), name 4 things that would be your dream E3.

    Here are mine:
    Pokemon Radiant Platinum – A remake of platinum announced for the Switch. In the trailer they show off a huge graphics improvement, walking Pokemon, and a battle frontier.
    Animal Crossing for Switch – Pretty self explanatory, but a game similar to New Leaf that adds onto the classic gameplay of the series.
    Fire Emblem 16 Teaser – Teaser trailer for FE 2018. I want the game to have a unique concept like FE14, while showing off some cool new stuff.
    Xenoblade 2 Trailer and Gameplay – Information showcasing the concept and gameplay of the newest Xenoblade game. I’m looking forward to this game more than anything right now, so while it’s practically a given, I’m really looking forward to it.

      – Mother 1 + 2 = 3D, A 3D Wind Waker style remake of all three Mother games. The overworld would be 3D but battles would use 2D animated enemies. It would keep the spirit of the original games and Itoi would be involved in overseeing the project.

        I wanna try a 3D metroid, so if they make a new one that’s what I’d want.

        The mother thing seems cool (but Itoi would never oversee it, he has completely moved on from video games).

        Everyone thinks we’re gonna see Smash, and reasonably so because of the amiibo stuff, but I don’t expect it, and don’t want to see it yet. I want them to focus on an actual Sma5h, even though 4 was an example of a perfect smash game IMO. If they are just porting it I hope they promise to include a lot of exclusive content

      -Never going to happen, but I’d love to see FF14 come to the switch and to anounce it Yoshi P, the director and producer of the game, would come out dressed in links full outfit to help talk about SE games coming to the switch and how SE does love the switch, only to be like “oh, one more thing, my game’s coming to the switch as well” and include something like an exclusive Epona mount for players who buy/link account to the switch version.

        Reply
        • it was said to be in development in its early stages at 2015. It was also delayed a lot due to FF15 taking a lot of the staffers working on it to help finish it up. So it could be a 2018 release. Maybe late 2017 if we’re super lucky. If anything we know that they have the basic’s of the game finished thanks to 2.8, which is really good and worth being a glorified demo.

          And yeah its unlikely to happen, but it would be fun. Mostly its not likely to happen given how controlling Nintendo is and that they would probably refuse to have cross server play like the game has, though it would be interesting to see. PC, PS4, and Nintendo players all playing together as it was intended to be.

          their chase leads them to the same temple the treasure originated and was stolen by a masked villain calling himself Mr. Bling
          after a brawl they break the mask off and its revealed HE IS THE TREASURE!!!
          he plans to steal the rest of the city’s money and convert it into a weapon for world domination (and during the whole monologue W&W are oblivious and stealing stuff)

          it plays like normal M&L but instead of jumping and hammers Wario and Waluigi use Jumping and Shoulder Bashing/Kicking
          and in the overworld they overcome obstacles by abusing each other like Wario using Waluigi as a Stepladder or a Slingshot, or Waluigi rolling Wario like a boulder and a battering ram

You go through it numerous times, and all the paths confuse me just adds to massiveness of Sinnoh. The long journey from Coronet-Snowpoint City is a fun unique adventure describing how tough a travel can be. Sinnoh is easily the best region.

  45. So two things: First are the people who are watching the Pokemon anime Japanese dub liking the new season? Is it good? From the first couple of episodes I saw it seemed pretty decent, but the more I hear about how he’s STILL on MeleMele and STILL attending the school I’m getting a little nervous. The second thing is whether there has been an announcement for the English dub to start airing on Disney yet.

  48. So I got a fun challenge for you Showdown users for April Fools (it’s completely up to you if you want to do this):
    So go on the Random Pokemon Generator website, and do these steps:
    1) turn off NFE and Ubers option
    2) make it have the option to generate only one Pokemon
    3) choose your least favorite type as the type of Pokemon it will generate
    4) generate 6 different Pokemon (none of them must be legends, and must have at least one pre-evolution)

    Now that you’ve generated these 6, pick out their first stage evolutions. On Showdown, make a LC team using these Pokemon and do at least one battle with the team. Best of luck!

          • Oh, yeah, that is true. Design quality Gen 7 was amazing to me… but ummmmm why in gods name couldn’t Golisopod have gotten Shell Armor? It would be balanced.. and really good

          • FORGET SHELL ARMOR I WANT TOUGH CLAWS
            SO MANY FUCKING TIMES THAT EMERGENCY EXIT RUINED ME!!!!!! ARGGHHHG

            I love Golisopod i truly do, maybe slightly even more than Mudsdale but it ruins so many strategies

            My Golisopod is Defensive and nothing sratches it, while it boosts with Swords Dance just for it to latch on a opponent with all six arms and chomp down sucking blood from them butn its hard when ongoing stealth rocks cause me to go under 50% JUST TO HAVE GOLISPOD TURN TAIL AND GET THEM A SECOND TIME

          • Tough Claws would be busted on Golisopod, hence why I say shell armor

            (I love how GF thought giving that ability to a pokemon that is easily wittled down by hazards was a smart idea)

          • I know but LOOK AT THOSE FUCKING CLAWS MAN
            butt……Shell Armor plus Iron Defense would be gnarly
            but that ruins my set up

          • Again…. balance my friend, you preach it and ya gotta follow it
            Shell armor would be good :3

    • yes, they are roaming legends, I think you only encounter one of the 3 based on the starter you picked though

      Reply
          • The birds are fine but I mean thew fact that they instantly run away. The beasts were better because you had a chance to catch them every time you encountered one but with them, you had to encounter them a billion times before you could finally catch them. I actually never even caught mine.

          • what? I remember catching mine in a premier ball like with the first encounter

          • well you get to at some point, “These Pokémon will automatically flee from combat, before you even get a chance to select a move. You can track their location with the Pokédex. After they have run from you over a dozen times, they will go to the Sea Spirit’s Den where you can finally battle them” it is kinda a lot of times to encounter a pokemon

          • … wait a second…

            what the fuck is a sea spirit? Wouldn’t that be Manaphy? Sorry off topic but really. What? There is no sea spirit! Why would you call it Sea Spirits Den? Then on top of that you put the birds in there? GF why you do this

          • I don’t actually think their was anything in the sea spirits den like not even wild pokemon, you just go in there and go against the bird

  58. real talk though, has anyone ever found it weird that the “leader” of the legendary birds is said to be Lugia but at the same time Lugia is like some dragon bastard and then we have Ho-Oh who is Lugias counterpart, and an actual bird but its just kinda there. I always thought Ho-oh should have been their leader but by it being a fire type they were like, well shit we cant have two fire types…

  61. How I learned to stop worrying and love Johto!

    – The first route’s theme is amazing. A simple melody with fun instruments that gives you asense that you are taking your first steps on your own journey. It’s no one’s journey but yours
    – Right off the bat you have a cave to explore, admittedly, you need flash but once you get it, you already have somewhere off the road to explore
    – Silver is an actual criminal which is rad.
    – The routes are filled with Apricots. They spice up what would normally be a meh route and you dont even have to replant them! They come back daily!
    – Violet City is very beautiful. The dark color scheme with the lanterns shining at night makes for a very nice looking city. You also get a sense of the style of the region and a taste of lore.
    – Ruins of Alph provide some cool mystery even if its just a place for the unknown to hang out.
    – Here is an example of great region design. Route 36 blocks you off with Sudowoodo. It’s not a tree you can cut so that instills it in your mind. Once you return to it and battle the pokemon, you realize you can now back track to Violet City. (So you can head to the cave :P)
    – Lots of great pokemon early on. Mareep, Zubat, Furret, Pidgey, Bellsprout, Hoppip and Heracross to name a few
    – Another cave to explore later. This time with a Lapras you can catch on Fridays after getting surf
    – Azalea Town’s beautiful music
    – Johto Pokeballs
    – ok yeah Ilex Forest sucks I’ll give you that
    – The Kimono Girls.
    – Goldenrod City is a big city done RIGHT. No maze like design, it’s not too big, it’s easy to find everything for the most part, it has the magnet train, the underground area, a GTS area which was a big deal at the time and more great music!
    – Whitney is an awesome gym leader. Say what you want but there is no other gym leader people have as much trouble with.
    – National Park. I dont think that needs explaining
    – The bug catching contest is another cool daily event
    – Ecruteak City.
    – The legendary beasts. I love how they made you WORK for the legionaries if you wanted them before the end of the game. You didnt just get to have them (ORAS) Plus their backstories are great.
    – The towers
    – *urp* Morty
    – I just like Route 39 alot
    – BATTLE FRONTIER BOIZZ
    – Best Safari Zone. Customizing your safari zone makes it so much more interesting.
    – Route 47 (WITH HOENN LEGENDS IN THE POST GAME)
    – Cianwood City is so peaceful
    – Chuck has a…. unique gym
    – Jasmine is shown outside her gym helping Amphy and thats rad
    – The Red Gyardos and the Lake of Rage are awesome.
    – Team Rocket is just as cool in this one.
    – Clair is super rad
    – Many of the gym leaders have a presence in the world and aren’t just a trainers sitting in a room… mostly
    – Lugia and Ho-oh
    – bro.. 16 GYMS!!! A WHOLE NEW REGION TO EXPLORE. 3 years have gone by and you see how it all changed. How is that not amazing? Gary became a gym leader, Blain lost his gym, Red is missing, everything has lost its former glory. It’s so rad
    – RED

  62. Something I’m learning replaying Platinum: Take your time when you replay Pokemon games.

    I’ve been rushing through them when I have been replaying them. I’m kinda slowing down with Platinum (playing Stardew Valley and Overwatch on the side plus School and art and youtube) it’s been so much more enjoyable.

            EVEN THE GODDAMN GRUNTS FIGURE IT OUT AND ONLY FOLLOW TO MAKE SURE SHE DOESN’T TRIP OVER A WIRE

  64. The one cutscene in Pokemon that was just awful was the one with Shauna and the fireworks. It had potential to be greater, but the fact that this cutscene should’ve been later in the game and the fact that we don’t give a shit about Shauna (since we just met her and her character is shit) makes it somewhat cringey.

        • For my first match, I was unable to accomplish because the person I faced never really said when they were ready, but for the one against Seraph, I believe it consisted of A-Raichu, Decidueye, Wishiwashi, Gardevoir, Flygon, and Lycanroc

          • Ok. If you do battle Ithsme use that team. You arent not allowed to switch teams mid tourney. Once you use one team in a battle you can NOT switch it

  65. Hey @IntimidatingWurmple:disqus and @ithsme:disqus, I’m so sorry if I haven’t done the battle yet. I’ve been constantly busy today with things coming out of nowhere, and whenever I return to the website, I find out that I’ve come too late. Honestly, I’ve been so late in this battle that I shouldn’t really be the one moving on in the losers bracket Cascoon, I don’t deserve to be the one.

  68. My tourney ideas
    A literal draft format….. Y’all know how these go. Ya draft three mons from each tier , hope the mon you want doesn’t get snatched from you, and everyone has a unique team. Everything OU and below is allowed.

    Battle Factory Tourney… you heard that right… battle factory as a tourney. Same random mons, same sets. Same ability to swap mons with others. Though keep in mind, not ALL higher tier pokemon are necessarily “better.”

      • I have to do the same. It seems that the general complaints are a mix of the generic “white Washing” babble, but people also saying that its not as deep as the first film, which is debatable. It still try’s to bring up some good points, mainly about the value of memories in a world where they can be altered or taken away on demand, but doesn’t try to focus on it to the point that it would make the average viewer lose interest.

        Reply
        • All I’ve really heard is that the special effects are good, but the story just isn’t there and isn’t nearly as satisfying as the original. Since we’re talking about “bad” movies, I saw Independence Day Resurgence recently for the heck of it and it was really, really bad. I doubt it could be worse than that.

          Reply
          • I really wouldn’t even call the story bad. Simple perhaps, but not really bad. It’s more of a story about someone coming to terms with having an artificial body, how they think of them self and how everyone else thinks of them. Yes it is kinda simple with the villain being a generic business man who sees the main character as a robot and wants to end her when he realizes he can’t be easily controlled, but that’s kinda part of the movies theme.

            I guess its more one of those cases where this movie does have some depth to it, but its more of a case of whether or not you want to dig into it. Its like watching Rick and Morty. One person could see a fun comedy that’s super cynical and mostly about showing gross-out humor and people being horrible, where another person could see the show as a metaphor for Rick being cthulhu, destroy worlds without a second thought simply because he’s become so dead inside that he just doesn’t care any more and threats everything around him as something disposable, with the rare case of his humanity still shining through in certain actions. The movie’s like that. Personally I walked away really entertained, asking a few questions, and hoping to see more. Hopefully after the shouting dies down we’ll see it have better success in the future and an outcry for more cyberpunk movies.
