Anyone want to be super optimistic and hope for our first Pokémon Stars tease?!
idk why i love this track so much lol

Iconic
I can picture the reactions of the trainers losing with this
Anyone else want a Unova style ‘reboot’ region? But not only with a large amount of new Pokemon, but regional variants too?
A game? Yes, but not if it affects the anime as well
I would take a good game and shitty anime any day of the week
Rather have both a good game & good anime tbh, like right now with SuMo. Ash ain’t got a reset and is still competent
YEES
Can 2016 be the year Nintendo finished giving Kanto special treatment?
I hope regional variants aren’t strictly gen 7 because theres so some non gen 1 Pokemon I want to have a regional variant
I’m hoping that the next Alola games have Alola forms of sinnoh mons and vice versa
Earthen: ITS NOT CLIMATE I DONT LIKE
Worst thing is sinnoh and Alola are the most different regions climate wise
Well Earthen doesn’t make these games. I’m getting my Snowglobe Chandelure
That be awesome :o. does it shake?
Yeee. The idea is that the spirit of Chandelure inhabited a snowglobe from a souvenir shops in Snowpoint City. It evolve from being leveled up around the icy rock. It has an exclusive move called “Stat Shake” that reverses the enemies stat changes
But Chandelure is already perfect?
so is ice cream but having different flavors doesn’t hurt
I had a theory that in gen 8 johto mons will get regional forms, in gen 9 hoenn and so on until gen 12 (with Kalos regional forms) that will be the last one before the grand reboot
That’s stupid
And why is that?
Why is that stupid? It makes some
sense! By gen 12 they’ll use all animals from the chinese zodiac
You’re assuming there will be a gen 12 lol
What makes you think there won’t?
OMG TWO DAYS UNTIL The Last Jedi trailer!!!!
WHAT REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!?
YES
NO WAY

Finally
First Rhyperior, now Trevenant
What’s with Duel and making low tier so powerful? Like legit, Trevenant is STUPIDLY good
Because each game has differing statistics that apply to Pokemon differently?
:p
(Shrugs)
Trevenant has an attack letting it control any other grass type on the field. If it is an opponent, they fall asleep once they finish being moved
If it battles an opponent and they live, they become a grass type…
Additionally it has destiny bond
Hopefully they won’t leaf it this strong
This is apparently the grass type saga. Sceptile and Virizion got added too and they’re really strong
People are apparently very happy though because they counter all the more busted teams of the meta
I’m rooting for that
If only it was that good in the main series…
It’s busted XD
Why won’t pichu evolve… she’s level 49…
You need to have max happiness with it
I know but they get happiness as they level.. why is it still not happy yet
Have it hold a Soothe Bell and feed it Kelpsy Berries
I just spammed Kelpsies
Spam it until you get the message ”it has no effect” then it should have max
I did that
Did you feed it Rainbow Beans as well?
Yup
Amii affects friendship?
No only affection but Isle Avue affects friendship though
The happiness game from level alone is low
She’s not happy with you because of your Incineroar slander
Mope
Incineroar loves babies!…
…
…
…
…

…
They taste great
OKAY THANK YOU IT EVOLVED
Pikachu tries to learn Wild Charge at Level 50… whyyyy
They have to keep the option open for those who don’t want to evolve their Pokemon. Partially the same reason that Pokemon learn moves before you can legally get them
Especially since Pika has the option of light ball
But why does it need Wild charge… it’s literally worthless on this thing.. volt tackle or no pika
Is it shiny?
Nope
You just want an Alolan Raichu?
Got it
A) Not everyone plays Comp, so WC can help on a Phys. Pika in game
B) It’s only now that we got a Volt Tackle move tutor, if you were attached to the Pikachu you’re not just going to throw it away when you can get a cheaper alternative
C) Flavour
I suppose .. it just seems weird
Not really, lit every NFE Pokemon has stuff like this
Is this theory that Necrozma is an UB still a thing? Haven’t paid much attention lately
I mean
Has the exact same sound effect in its cry as the other UBs
Possibly related to the Cosmog line who are UBs
Learns moves and has stats at a prime number like UBs
But its BST is higher than the UBs right?
Cosmog and Cosmoem have lower BSTs than the numbered UBs, and Solgaleo/Lunala have BSTs higher
True but Cosmog & Cosmoem are pre-evolutions. Just wanna know more about Necrozma, such an intriguing creature
UBs probably have varying base stats, it’s just that the seven numbered ones happen to have the same BST because they all function as post game bosses (thus sharing the same role)
Need more UBs in the next game and a bigger role for Necrozma
I want common ultra beasts, like Ultra Space Pidgeys and stuff XD
Agreed, Necrozma arguably has even less backstory than Zygarde…
Well at least Necrozma was mentioned by Looker. Zygarde literally had no introduction whatsoever
It at least has its basic lore (defends Kalos, splits up so it can monitor, balances Yveltal and Xerneas) but it needs more imo
i miss the days that my theory for Zygarde’s secret power was planetary reset
where it untimely judged humanity and deemed them too destructive to the ecosystem and decides to purge them and the planet so that new life could possibly do better in the next billions of years
This is Pokemon fam, not a Sci-fi thriller
(getting really annoyed with all the fam talk)
and that would be much better then what it does now
Ehhh, I don’t see where you would’ve got that idea from, Zygarde seems more like it’d use its ability to rapidly assimilate and split up, as well as intense geokinesis
well it’s job is to protect the ecosystem and being a governor of the land i saw it having ultimate rights of the planet and it’s inhabitants (i mean nothing else ranked higher at the time) so planetary purge seemed like a legendary thing to do,
only seeing logic to keeping order and if something or someone was causing unbalance it would eliminate it, and in this case humanity was the cause ergo purging it
Ehhh, Zygarde defends the ecosystem, it doesn’t rule or control it.
Whether it is or not is more a discussion of semantics to be honest.
Throwback

Oh nooooo…
Loool i remember when i was soo convinced that the UBs are alternate forms of specific NPCs. Imagine my shock when it turned out to be false
I thought it was false from the moment that Lusamine didn’t have a version exclusive counterpart whereas Pheromosa did
Salty this wasn’t real
I’m glad it wasn’t, it was obvious Ultra beasts were going to be obtainable and this would’ve made it so awkward
I like that you can name Magearna
Hope it’s the same for Marshadow, I’m gonna call one of mine ‘Darthmallow’
That’s actually adorable
Marshadow isn’t my favorite but it needs a name that gives it justice ?
It’s perf
So who decided to make Core Enforcer a special move?
The movie’s animation and concept better fits a special move, but they could’ve at least made it so Perfgarde can run it and its Thousand moves
Exactly
Watching a Nuzlocke (randomized)
An incineroar just got buttfucked by an Aron
I mean it is a randomiser, a Magikarp has probably had an Arceus call it daddy
Only the mons were randomized though, not the moves and abilities.
It was beautiful
I mean considering it’s still a randomiser, you’ll get stuff like that. It’s not unique to Incineroar, who has physical defense than Deci
i member my Emerald Randomizer
it gave me a Lunatone for a starter
i found a Raikou outside the petalburg woods and i just kept finding legends
like i found a freaking Zapdos in a rock smash rock
My life
but i did enjoy using a Tauros early
one day my Fire Bull….
Toroast
Triggore
Eruptoros
Maybe
too many puns
you do better
it’s a angry bull that gets all its firepower from its raging emotions
Why can’t it love
because they’re just naturally aggressive creatures
MAYBE THIS ONE COULD LOVE THO!
Earthen is Triggored
well its no secret i am an embodiment of rage
but this concept is too perfect to give up
Apparently one of our governmental figures said “Not even Hitler sank to the level of using chemical weapons”
… is it okay to kill myself now or later
i’d just wait it out
I dunno if I can , I feel my brain deteriorating
then go stuff your hole with carbs and sugars
I can’t get fatter..
And he said it during Passover
I love being alive
When should I hang myself again?
Wait and watch the world burn
Liam Robertson expects a Pokemon Switch announcement in May
who that
A games journalist with legit sources at several studios. He was the first to report the cancellation of Scalebound and reported Shadow of War too. He is trustworthy
oh ok cool! may sounds about right
Deers, pardon this older Deer, but what exactly does salty mean?
I hear it lots, but i guess being 24 i am no longer “cool” or “in”.
you’re 24?
Yep, surprising, isn’t it?
gadzooks…..you’re a year older then me……
Ha earthens a baby
i’m fucking 23
Im 18
I’m 17!
OMG WE ARE BEST FRIENDS NOW
YEY!
Earthen can’t join the club
Can i join, deers?
Yes you can.
Oh joy, thank you, deer!
That’s fine, I get it a lot, my mind lines up with a child, but my age really is 24.
means your mad i think
Thank you, but i want a solid answer here, if that’s ok deer.
no….not just mad…..
Being Salty is a feeling of pure rage and being bested…..that some asshole beating you fairly or unfairly
and you just want to annihilate them to restore your fractured honor
So basically when you fight somebody who isn’t braindead
oh i have a very blood angrying story
a while back i has helping organize this….special needs gaming thing as a collage credit
and there was this guy (a very stupid guy) who wanted to organize a Mario Party 8 game
i was playing too and i managed to win like 90 coins only for one bad luck chance time to give him all my coins and zip through the game despite being really stupid and genuinely bad at the game
the definition of salty
or you everyday on showdown would of also worked
It’s collage credit, that was a bad example
well i needed one and might as well do something with gaming, cut me some slack
I don’t know slack off, though…
wasn’t talking to you Pinky
Basically means they’re pissed
If someone loses in a game and gets angry, it becomes especially relevant
so basically Earthen on showdown
That’s a perfect example
It sounds right, but now i am curious of the origin of the word, you see, when i say salty, i think of french fries…
its just a term internet came up with
Good ol’ internet, I remember when we had this crazy thing called Dialup, it was so slow…
Hmmm…
I’d compare it to the flustered feeling someone has after consuming too much salt
Excuse my rude but how many hours left till the direct?
about 5
Oh men.. thats like 01:00 am here in the netherlands.. i Will watch it tomorrow than
Het begint om 12 uur 😉
Ik kan echt niet tellen dus , dat is te doen
The person who made the “Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons” comment replied
“I let the president down”
Are you fucking kidding me….
Sean Spicer is so spicy and stupid it’s despicable…
Try saying that three times fast~
I did it
He’s trash tho
I don’t have a medal, so you can have this acorn~
Eyyyy
Gonna be honest, wasn’t expecting Incineroar to be the bulky starter of this gen. From a purely stat wise position, it beats out even Deci in Sp.D. Definitely going to be a fun part of an RU team with Intimidate/Assault Vest
Wait what…
Incineroar has 90 Sp Def
Decidueye has 100…
Deci has 78HP
Incineroar has 95
Bulk takes HP into matter too
No but you said it “beats out even Deci in Sp.D”
(Also, it’s currently in NU)
I know It’s overall bulkier but I needed to correct that part
As in special bulk
RU
Couldn’t give a fuck sweetie 🙂
Oh, it sounded like ya meant the stat by that
Its gonna be NU
On the bright side, NU does look like a fun tier
And TBH, what else looked like the bulky starter? Deci sure didn’t
Considering Serperior is bulkier than Emboar, I wouldn’t say that it’s that straight forward
Also, Primarina?
True
(Is still salty that Decidueye didn’t have its Speed and special Attack swapped)
Why tho? It’s an archer and they aren’t exactly fast, as well as the fact that special moves are mostly non contact (read: projectile) just as an arrow is. I mean it even has a such an emphasis on being a projectile fighter it has an ability that turns all of its moves not make contact
Only because of one reason
It’s arrows are apparently physical and it quite literally gets two special moves, both outclassed by its physical moves. I know not all Pokémon is competitive, but it irks me just seeing it have a stat that high be absolutely useless.
And people say specifically sets are a thing, but it has spirit shackle and leafblade so…
Honestly, put the special Attack stat anywhere and I’m happy
In game sense and flavour >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> competitive battling in terms of design, if it wasn’t obvious enough
And I mean… Def and HP don’t make sense, it doesn’t look defensive at all and archers don’t typically wear heavy armour (they’re usually behind other armoured units or an elevated area).
Speed doesn’t make sense because Decidueye lost the Flying-Type that could relate to a owl’s diving speed, and for all we know it can’t even fly outside of its Z-Move because it can’t even learn the move Fly.
I just wish it had that stat swapped with something… that’s all…
Then again… primal kyogre has a 150 physical attack stat
Primal Kyogre best physical sweeper confirm
I have no idea anymore XD
I just cant help but be annoyed that a little buff like that could make Deci so much better… but I guess I can’t complain… I mean… it has a fun role in the meta game and works well in its tier
…besides Bisharp teams… those shut it down hard
So how does one use Alolan Exeggutor?
With pride
I mean competitively… I seriously can’t figure it out
It’s a fucking monster in trick room, and in a sun team it has harvest + Flamethrower banter
It’s not usually a Pokemon to design around tho, more like a Pokemon that happens to be there if you want it
So quiet I suppose?
Well I mean… You ain’t using that speed for nothin, even outside of a TR team
True
Neeerrrrrrr mostly bulky special
Giga Drain
Dragon Pulse
Flamethrower
Leech Seed
Hmm
Someone please explain to me why Rowlet can’t learn fly
Like this isn’t even bitching about the Pokemon its bitching about GameFreak’s weird ass design choices. Sure, Deci is based off of flightless and mostly terrestrial owls, but Primeape and Jolteon can use Iron Tail and it flies in its Z-Move
Pokelogic
I mean, even Charizard couldn’t learn fly.
Yeah it literally flies in its z-move…all well, fly is trash in comp anyway
Is Aqua Ring even good?
In game: Meh
Comp: Niche af
Unless it’s on Fini in the wild…
Apparently Deci and Prim work well together on teams
OTP
XD welp
So Yanmega,Emboar, and Drampa are all going to be NU…
I see some quickbanz
I just started to soft reset for a shiny starter in Heartgold. Place your bets who I will get
Toto
Totodile
Chikorita
Cyndaidon’tgiveashit
Totodile, the others suck
