The Simpsons, FOX’s long-running animated comedy series, has again poked fun at Pokémon in a new segment that featured Lisa and Homer as anime-inspired versions of themselves walking in what appears to be Pokémon GO while singing to the tune of the original anime’s theme song.
Do you think they did a good job? Or was South Park’s Chinpokomon superior?
Well this is certainly bound to be a weird article comment section XD
Chinpokomon was superior totally
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BgE2sQ_Ry0&spfreload=5
Mmmm..I think we can agree that Tinymons are the best parody
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Bkzkoi2hk
I hated that show so much
It had its moments haha
But it’s part of the holy quadrilogy
https://youtu.be/JMxr_v_SfhI
That was a fun time in that show
They referenced Shadow Lugia in one of them
Yeah, I think it’s at the end of this video actually lol
Yay, they referenced Go

Months after its prime
I haven’t watched the Simpsons in a VERY long time……well not the most recent ones anyway lol Did they change Lisa’s voice actress or is that just how she sounds when she sings? lol
Wow, this is the deadest I’ve seen the Jungle in a while
Calm after the storm
Or the calm before the storm 😮
I hope
If the place holder spot on the Nintendo direct page coding is anything to sneeze at we may be getting something cool to look at next week lol
Pokemon Tennis
I’d buy that
Pokemon Dash 2
Pokemon Ranger Switch
You practically have to do that one cowboy move in gangnam style/cotton eyed jo to capture pokemon
I watched this episode yesterday and told y’all bout it
#hipsterearthen
Well I did
So anyone interested in seeing my list of Fanmon’s so far?
Just do it quick
Like tearing off a bandage
Hang on writing first on phone then will convert to here
Do you have notes? (I mean you’re bound to)
But I put everything down there for quick access
Make Trump blush
So this is how desprate we are for news huh?
There are so many of you making ideas for fangames so help me out for Pokémon Wish lol
The ideas I have right now are
– Jirachi is the legendary
– There is a wish festival to celebrate Jirachi and everyone puts in their wishes (even though they never come true)
– Three rivals that want to get Jirachi all for their own reasons
– Takes place 15 years after RSE in Hoenn
Earthen gets angry and kills everyone with a chainsaw
*gets spray bottle*
*Reves up chainsaw with a “I’m gonna kill you Govnah” look in my eyes*
*gets popcorn*
Water is super effective against earthen
What about chainsaws
Depending on the water on any solvents in the water it could rust it over time or even possibly short circuit it then and there
This is a gas powered chainsaw, a little moisture won’t do jack squat
Then all he has to do is outrun until it runs out or use a long range weapon
Not if I saw off his legs!!!!
I think three trainers with pokemon could fight someone armed with a simple chainsaw
Well I could just rush em, I mean it can still would most Pokemon
Pffft you wouldn’t do shit to harm pokemon if they were real
Try me
It’s all talk, nothing more
likewise
Does one of the rivals secretly want to use jirachi for evil
Probably :3
Good, good..
Heatran Sky forme
Yus
Aka flying Heatran
http://www.mypokecard.com/en/Gallery/my/galery/d8sICfwzvOsy.jpg
I named my Necrozma that
I guess it’s an accurate name :p
I also have a turtonator named Cosmog Unbound
I gave them random ass names
Ewww turtonator
Always such a freaking issue when it comes to steel monos
South Park > Simpsons.
Dumb idea I’m messing around with
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e7b76e544c74d583a649a22801b7585bd2d22723ff1ba4a4abe7c64eea14d935.jpg
PK Star Form
Jirachi Comet Form is cooler since it’s already basically a star and the millennium comet is what causes its third eye to awaken in the anime
I know how to kill way more than two birds with one stone
Set up stealth rocks on a flying mono team
I don’t have defoggiest idea what you’re on about
Stealth rock is so stupid conceptually
-It’s called stealth rock, yet they float in the open air, very un-stealthily
-What’s causing them to float?
-If they’re floating, how do they hit pokemon on the ground?
-Can’t flying pokemon just avoid them when sent into battle?
Same reason moves like Ancient Power and Power Gem can fly out and hit the opponents
That’s kind of different though, because they’re just being hurled. The stealth rocks are being suspended for long periods of time
well maybe they lunge out when it senses a new entry
That’s what I kinda figured. I always picture something like the stone edge animation
Ancient Power has an aura around it (typically showing a non physical means of throwing it) tho
Yeah, but I wonder if the pokemon who uses stealth rock also has to keep concentration to make them float there. I’m probably overthinking this, but idk I think it’s an overused move
It needs an alternative or an ability that clears it out
Has anyone ever done any theme teams in Pokemon? Not including monotypes
I did a colour theme for one Soul Silver playthrough (still salty the filter changed my Gengar’s name) and a BNHA theme for an XY playthrough
I also had slight themes for my first sumo playthroughs? Cuteness/Majesty for my Primarina run and Oddness for my Incineroar run. Deci run was literally just an excuse to use Toxipex and had the theme of ‘literally the worst team I’ve used except Ninetails and Toxapex’ (although they were all better than Jolly Primarina)
Wait actually I’m pretty sure Deci run had Comfey too and it had its moments
i’ve never run them but
Serpentine
Steelix
Serperior
Arbok
Huntail
Gyarados
Dunsparce
Is there even a game where you can pull them off without trading?
Also, you with a Dunsparce? Thought I’d see Ultron, Star and Seraph with Incineroarsonas before this
it’s just a snake team you blockhead
There’s still alternatives to Dunsparce
i’m not doubling up on types
Huntail and Gyarados :p
there’s not that many snakes that i like
Haha, I actually used Incineroar in my last Moon run. It was pretty decent, I just preferred its design when it was a Torracat 😛 I have used it in some online battles since then though, it can hold its own decently.
Haha I know you’re trying to like it, it’s just that you used to be one of the more vocal dislikers XD
I try to quell my dislike for it lol. Seraph does not help with that though haha
I just don’t get why people hate it so much :<
If Torracat wasn’t adorable and everything I want out of a cat pokemon, I might like Incineroar a bit more 😮
Tbh I think that happens a lot thanks to middle evos XS
Like with Wartortle!! Part of me likes Blastoise and part of me hates it because it makes no sense >:I
Where tf did the tail and ears go
I knowww I love the fluffy tail ;(
That’s 7, eliminate one
read carefully
Welp..
I have not, although I’ve made a Game of Thrones team
-Hydreigon
-Lycanroc Midday
-Sawsbuck
-Malamar
-Pyroar
-Wishiwashi
And Avengers
-Scizor
-Ariados
-Porygon Z
-Mismagius
-Braviary
-Electivire
Lemme guess
Iron man
B. Widow
Vision?
Scarlet Witch
Cap
Hulk or Thor?
Yep! Last one is Thor, there aren’t too many physical electric mons. I would’ve put Hulk in there, but idk if there are really any good pokemon that represent him. And now that we have Decidueye, I feel like that’s way more interesting than Ariados as Black Widow, so I would probably swap those now that I think about it.
I think Aria just fits her to a t tbh
True, but I prefer Deci as a mon. Ariados needs a mega so badly. Like how is it so slow with 40 base speed. Spiders are fast..
Because it’s a phat spider
At the least it deserves priority moves for Poison and Bug (how do they not have yet!?)
Well, first impression, but that’s a golisopod exclusive for some reason
because of that BS signature attack and ability jargon they pulled in SM
True
It just makes every Pokemon more memorable tbh, and they’ve redistributed signature moves all the time anyway
meh memorable is a strong word
half of those signature attacks and abilities don’t even help that much
Solar blade
Corrosion
Water Compaction
Stake Out
Dancer
Galvanize
Merciless
and the annoying one that the exact same thing
Wimp Out and Emergency Exit (which should just be called Emergency Exit all together
and Queenly Majesty and Dazzle
Receiver and Power of Alchemy
Full Metal Body Clear body
Shadow Shield and Multiscale
Prism Armor and Solid Rock
Wait wait wait….
All those abilities would be more useful on other mons, don’t even deny that
Like corrosion on a bulkier mon or Stakeout on a mon that can force switches
well that’s good on paper, i’m just telling that they effed up royal the first time around
Granted i’m relieved Lurantis didn’t get Chlorophyll because that is just all kinds of annoying
And i am guilty of giving Komodoom Merciless as a Hidden Ability WHICH WOULD BE SATANIC
Lurantis is so forgettable.
Clown pants not-bug
Should’ve been a bug. Reverse orchid mantis is stupid
-shakes fist at sky-
It makes sense tho and it’s more creative than ‘look at this literal flower mantis we just put here’
https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3438/4593531893_f67a757fa1.jpg
For you maybe, mines was the star of the show and the totem was the Miltank of Alola
Lurantis needs Chloro tho
As I just mentioned, stakeout is the main one I hope gets more spreading :3
hello ubers
You’re really overexaggerating
It wouldn’t even make it past UU… there’s a mon in RU that does exactly what Lurantis would be doing and more
Lunala doesn’t have scales
Solgaleo doesn’t have a clear body
Necrozma apparently isn’t made our of rock
Dazzling is based off of Dazzle camouflage, which Bruxish has and Tsareena doesn’t
Receiver makes sense with sports, PoA makes sense with a living clump of ooze
We haven’t really got Pokemon that fit most of the new abilities without already having all their abilities, and they’ll obviously be distributed later on in the franchise to new Pokemon
Solar Blade makes sense because Lurantis has blades and spends a shit ton of time photosynthesising (do feel this’ll be distributed later, especially to Virizion and Sceptile) so rn it makes sense to be an exclusive
Dancer is a gimmick ability for one
Aerilate was only on one Pokemon until ORAS, same can happen for Galvanise
They help in story where you progress, whereas comp doesn’t have progression like that
yeah yeah the big ass paragraph
Rough sketches of Rivals and the professor
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/83c7f967518c4a0e95d8af017405f9a9e987af9c1c8f48f8e8c2cb186d56e6e1.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/88c1c903cad161fb10876954de0b086791501b13af449d59934f8bcbd2b3cb02.jpg
Top left one is a hottie
The rival?
Yeahhh they lookin mysterious
Is the bottom one the prof? She’s a cutie
Yeah. She’s the only Pokémon professor that studies something real. She’s an astronomer
Does she look at the correlation between Pokemon and astronomy or just astronomy?
Well I suppose both since she does live in a world with Pokémon but mostly just space.
The player is an assistant to her in Mossdeep City at the start of the game
The characters are actually pretty well designed, especially the professor (´ ˙○˙ `)
Thank you!! I really like the professor. I’m not totally satisfied with the Rivals yet but it’s a good start
Emo/Goth rival is perf
I mostly want to decide on the brother’s haircut and their outfits
I actually want to see how the 3rd one looks like
Kinda still figuring out what they should look like
Random and off topic, but I honestly think the 2003 Clone Wars miniseries sucks compared to the 2008 show. I’m not a fan of the samurai jack art style outside of that show and the 2003 CW was all action and rarely any character work. Half of the action doesn’t even make sense.
I’ve never seen it but I like the style. Maybe it doesn’t work as well in motion?
I just don’t find the art particularly impressive. It looks lazy to me.
YOU MONSTER!!!! *Sigh*….. I suppose not everyone is gonna like the same thing………….the 2003 CW was so good tho lol
It had like two good scenes and that was when General Grievous cornered the jedi masters in that wrecked building thing and when Shaak Ti fought that horde of Magna guards. Some of it is just stupid though, like Durge. Wtf even was that. And then Ventress just randomly appears as a total plot device to show Anakin’s evil side. She dies as soon as she was introduced. At least she was a real character in the 2008 show.
Well to be fair the 2003 show was just supposed to be a short quick to the point ting to get people interested. (not that that’s an excuse for bad writing in general) Either way it’s still a pretty great short series. Maybe I just have my nostalgia glasses on tho lol
I used to honestly really like it, but then I watched the 2008 show and looking back is not so great. Everyone on the internet seems to have a friggen boner for it though (not talking about you) and always bring up ahsoka being a plot hole and all these other plot holes that don’t exist
Edgiest Pokemon?
Giratina

Blocked
Giving kids epilepsy before it was illegal
I can’t believe they refuse to show Porygon at all since then. It’s not like Porygon itself is linked to epilepsy. It’s the dumb flashing they did.
The general public doesn’t even know anything about it
I feel so bad for it… Pikachu is the one to blame
They could at least just do pory 2 and Z
I think they got a quick cameo in a movie but that’s it
It’s not fair
technically Pikachu is to blame
it was his Thunderbolt that did the strobe effect injuring all them kiddies
Kartana
Mega Absol. Look at those fucking emo bangs.
https://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/absol-mega.jpg
Plus the edgy head sword
I hateeee mega absol. The design is so bad. No offense, cause I know you like it.
i agree, i wanna pull every piece of fur off it
It makes no sense. What the fuck is up with the angel wings? And it looks really bad in Gen 6/7 graphics. Absol used to be one of my favorite pokemon and now I can hardly look at it.
It’s the angel of death lol
Well it’s stoopid >:P
well it’s just a bunch of fur standing up from the power of mege evolution
That’s the stupidest reasoning I’ve ever heard
well i’m just saying why it does, the artistic view that’s your problem
http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Absol
Yes, that’s what I’m saying. Their design and reasoning for it is fucking dumb. It might be worse than mega manectric
Mege evolution. When a Pokemon mega evolves with the power of memes.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What’s wrong with me
*Facepalm*
Meger eevolutioyown
siiiigh….anybody remember when mega evolution was cherished and loved, the power between Pokemon and trainer to unlock untold inner power…..i don’t
I did, but for literally one Pokemon
Ampharos
I remember seeing Ampharos get Outrage and thinking “It would be so cool if it was part Dragon!”
And … well… my dream was granted
Well they gave me megas to 3 of my favorites
Garchomp
Heracross
and Aerodactyl
I hate all of those megas
shocker
It’s funny cause I love them before they mega evolve
it’s funny the ones i like get the most dissing
Just not a fan of the designs. Mega aeros rock beard is disgusting to look at. Megacross is alright, I guess. There’s just something about it I dislike.
Garchomp is a complete downgrade (to literally every player who even knows how to competitive)
I don’t like Heracrosses mega design but I’m happy it got one
Same for Aero
That’s not entirely true
i for one run it very well, and i take advantage of Sand Force 170 attack and STAB Earthquake hurting anything that doesn’t resist it, and the boost to Iron Head is pretty decent
my only qualm is that now i am crippled for the speed drop
That’s why everyone hates it, it is a downgrade because the things Garchomp is meant to kill can now outspeed it
well nobody’s perfect and i’m used it, i still use it and it has brought me years of good battles, just gotta look at the positives
ONE FUCKING SEVENTY ATTACK that is majorly good
it can tank a good hit
and i can still use regular Garchomp and mega when i feel i won’t live
Xurkitree has 173 special attack and look where that got it
Dude it’s a glass cannon WITH TAIL GLOW
they’re not gonna let something that powerful out without ruining it for us
Kartana
Pheromosa
Black Kyurem
Do I REALLY need to continue?
oh shove that list back up your ass
I’m just giving examples
Oh! Here’s a good one! Rampardos! 150 attack! Great top tier mon right?
Why did it need 170? Make it 160 and give 10 of that back to speed. Or, take away the fucking FORTY they idiotically gave it in sp attack and put that in speed
I think the mixed attacker thing could work since Garchomp likes Fire Blast sometimes
Just make its attack 150 and plonk the twenty into attack, making it actually good
*speed
that i will say is fracking stupid, Fire Blast ain’t worth squat
Ice types
Skarmory
Celesteela
Bulky grasses
Then again, you could just run normal chomp and pack the firium Z like most chomps do these days instead of Mega
With Fire fang
But then you’re left with a bad attack
A better Mega Chomp would be lit
It really would….
But I’m glad it doesn’t exist… Garchomp is broken enough as is
It could work, but did it really need to. Garchomp didn’t need a mega. Same with metagross and salamence.
About that… another Dragon needs it… BAD
Kingdraaaa
Flygon
>:O
Love how the literally smacked the mega evo symbol on its face
So suble ;3
Everything about it is bad. From the emo bangs to the bat wing tail.
I meant subtle
I’m just gonna say Bisharp
Another rough sketch but Yee. She’s the youngest of the siblings
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6f95dfc536feac12730f8a530c59b8a44cdeacb5b6c471daf150082985390845.jpg
NEEEEEEEEEEEEERD 😛
Yep yep she’s a huge nerd who wants to be like her totally awesome older sister
:3
What did i miss?
The second coming of Jesus
How did he come a second time when he never came for a first time
Stars’ art for her game
Cool :3
I saw that below
Anythin else?
Nop
Okaei
I love how the first SuMo mon smogon thinks of for NU is Type Null
Not Lurantis or even Alolan Raticate
Type Null
It definitely fits but that’s a really weird pick first
It physically hurts me knowing that Type null is in such a low tier
It could be a lot worse… a tier lower
(Basically my thoughts on Gourgeist)
i hate that thing…..
But it’s amazing
not when your on the business end of a will-o-wisp
I mean design
Besides, Will-O-Wisp is useless against me most of the time
well it is to me, Ground Mono doesn’t like it one tiny bit….
Missing special attackers :3
seriously we have like ONE GOOD SPECIAL ATTACKER AND THAT’S NIDOKING
DO YOU KNOW HOW FRUSTRATING IT’S BEEN FOR YEARS OF WISP RUINING ANYTHING
And Nidoking is a super easy mon to counter too
(Nidoqueen)
that’s why i run focus sash instead of Life orb
ergo i’d outspeed it and double Earth Power
say what you will but it has saved my butt and ruined others for years
they think oh that Tbolts a Skarmory oh that nido is a scarf i’ll switch to Lando, BOOM Ice beam instant KO forfeits
So you run sets that suck in nearly every occasion but excel in certain ones
you are such an ass, i experiment and do things that aren’t expected
i have years of replays that show that Focus Sash helps better than others
so years of low latter replays vs the trillions of other nidoking users who run other items and their replays?
When did you get such a elitist battling ego?
it’s just rude at this point
I’m just sayin
you just have no eye for trying different things, its either be a carbon copy smogon set or fuck off don’t play
I love running focus sash and it works
i love using Mega Garchomp
and all the other stuff i do it, its my way and that’s what should matter
Did you really just tell a person who wins matches with Six Basculins and actually tests out unque sets that they only carbon copy?
I’m just telling you that some of your sets are not very beneficial and could be made a lot better with a few edits
dude it’s anything goes, half the time its asshats who want to run crazy sets
some work some don’t
how often do you even monotype?
Oooooh you’re playing that tier…. that explains a lot
Here and there, I use bug
But I wanted it to be atleast in UU :<
Yeah… the metagame is not kind to it
This isn’t like Araquanid or Persian where you can argue its niche makes it a higher tier than normally suggested. Type:Null needed recovery and better stats
Can somebody explain why Dazzling and Queenly majesty were released in the same gen?
Because they have two different design concepts that fit two different pokemon?
But they didn’t necessarily need to do the same exact thing, for me it ends up being redundant
Yeh
It just feels weird that they do the exact same thing.. Like I wish they were even a minute bit different effect wise
It happens cross Gen all the time and happened with Vital Spirit and Insomnia, Air Lock and Cloud Nine
I get cross gen but it just feels weird in the same gen
It’s just because they want to give two different concepts the same ability when creating them but can’t find a unifying theme that’s also appropriate for the ability’s function
Bruxish has a very vivid colour scheme, Tsareena is more muted and complementary to itself.
Tsareena is Queenly, whereas Bruxish is drag Queenly
I wish they both got Queenly… I feel like it would be fucking hillarious on Bruxish
Hilarious, but for some reason GameFreak wanted it to be more accurate for once rather than play about
Inconsistent af
Yep, I wish it had it though
I don’t know why but it reminds me of Paninis mother from chowder
Better yet, explain how they even make sense when applied to the pokemon they’re given to. I’ll wait.
Queenly Majesty does make sense considering Tsareena is a royal b̶i̶t̶c̶h̶ fruit
But how does being a queen make you immune to priority…? It’s so stupid. Same with being “dazzling” or shiny or whatever bruxish is
Simple. You’re too stunned by the foe to make quick strikes, you have to concentrate to hit them which means you can’t to the quick lashes priority needs
Blech I’m starting to sound Eartheny
You areeeee. I’m biased tho because I hate Tsareena. It’s one of the worst gen 7 mons imo
Your taste is shit :p
Feel it is overhyped tho
The design just isn’t good to me. It doesn’t look like a queen or a fruit. More like a sheikah rip off
I think the same, but I mostly don’t like it because of the make up. I hate make up
Queenly I imagine being that it intimidates them somehow
I have no idea about Dazzling, waste of an ability
It just seems shoehorned in because they wanted to use it as an ability.
I dunno if it even is that
The world may never know yo
Ay
Dazzle camouflage
Wouldn’t hit a queen
i would
Good for you enjoy the arrest

Lizzap or Lizzurge…… ;__; …..
Yay flamingo
It and the black bird are the Regional birds yet the Flamingo has higher chance to be a female, while the Black bird has higher chance to be male
I love how every playthrough we had each had different mons that worked and some that flopped
@symmetricaljesus:disqus Mentioned Deci didn’t work for them yet it was one of the two stars of my team. The reverse happened for Incin
Deci died to anything remotely physical for me
Lurantis outclassed it completely for me
For me Deci basically one hit or two hit whatever it saw and would pull through some really clutch hits
(Lowkey it was your Deci not liking you and my Incin not liking me and they purposely sucked to spite us)
Can we agree on one thing tho for every grass type that gets this combo
Based Leaf Blade/SD
Seriously, it’s actually godly. It’s the set I use on Deci. It also makes Spirit Shackle godly and, Imo, one of the best Z-movers in the game cause of how well it fits for him
On the other hand, Lurantis has always screamed choice band to me…. I dunno why
In game Scope Lens Leaf Blade/SD/Leech Life/Brick Break or Poison Jab was godly
It also has decent in game bulk so it’s usable
Yeah
See? This is why I love gen 7. Decidueye and Lurantis… hell even Decidueye and Dhelmise can be compared to each other a lot and even with similar movesets function quite a bit different, even in game. I never played a gen that felt so varied before and I honestly love it
….Well…most of it anyways
Dhelmise imo is bulkier and can tank better and dish out damage better
But if you wanted to outspeed anything
Good
Fucking
Luck
Oh yeah it definetly does more damage but… well….
Let’s just say that speed makes its bulk REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY misleading…. like it gets worn down very easily….
That’s only really if you’re using it against multiple pokemon in the same battle, it’s mostly for taking down one heavy hitter then retreating itself
I mean even normal mons tend to weaken it… don’t get me wrong, it’s good… it’s just that its type does FAR more to harm it than it does well combined with its speed…
Plus… Power whip…. it literally never lands
Power Whip us just a luck problem tho
Also I ran it mixed in game with Giga Drain and it was the 1v1 champ
Oh yeah, can see that
I honestly just wish it was Water/Ghost
Imagine how good it would be
It’s literally seaweed tho
I know, I mean it just would be so much better considering..
-We got four Grass/Ghost types in a span of two gens
-We have water/ghost only once
But hey it’s their choice in the end
It’s not better for the individual design tho
True true
But hey, according to tiers Decidueye is the best Alolan non-legend grass type (Beating Tsareena out by a REALLY small margin that is almost interchangeable) so I’m happy
I daydreamed earlier today of Flygon getting a Mega
I daydreamed that flygon was retconned to bug/ground
Should’ve been Bug/Ground imo
Makes it different from Garchomp (even if it came first) and its Dragon is from what, vaguely looking like a dragonfly?
I wish it was bug ground with quiver
But Earthen will just argue
If Lilligant can get it wynaut Flygon
They hate flygon.
Exactly
Because lilli it’s a dancer
And Flygon is a winged insect
Or just a Desert Spirit
Winged insect ≠ Butterfly/Moth
Thus Bee =/= Moth
Oh ffs (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Why can’t GF be a little consistent with their move names
Remember, Beeheyem and Silvally get steel wing
Phermosa is a roach lol
It would be so much better
Seriously though
Why flygon should get a move called “butterfly dance”
Lilligant
Wormadam
Ribombee
Pheromosa
Bellosom

They are afraid of Flygon actually being a decent pokemon. Dragon dance is shit compared to QD
Ribombee it’s similar to a butterfly
Wormaddan it’s based on a month that never develops eings
So is Flygon, it’s literally an insect with wings. That’s literally the only similarity between Ribombee and a butterfly
well maybe it can’t fly daintily like Quiver Dance requires
Flygon is majestic as fuck, and Bellossom doesn’t even have wings
And Dustox can?
Dustox base speed: 65
Flygon: 100
God it’s almost impossible to put logic in Pokemon moves :p
How is this not “quivering”
It’s just a move that refers to moving around in a dancelike motion
Um Earthen actually I agree with for once bug just sounds like a bad type for it
And its probably dragon for being mystical as Dragon is normally the type for that… I mean why else is Altaria dragon?
Altaria doesn’t have any other type that immediately should override its Dragon typing
Flygon does
Umm Altaria should just be a Normal/Flying
When Altaria loses Dragon Flygon can too
Hey be surprised I don’t like most Dragons and I’m sticking up for one of the 4 I really like
Altaria is based off of a star in draco which is important to the story it’s based off of (might be remembering that wrong)
Flygon is a dragon because an animal confused with antlions which are insects in the first place which means bug should take presidence
slay, baby, slay
a species that revolved in sandy regions?
it focuses mostly on pit traps and sand, i will agree that in a different reality and suffering heavy trauma Trapinch could pass as a Ground/Bug but it would lose it in favor of Dragon as it evolved
What does that have to do with anything? There are insects in harsh deserts anyway, and the desert part is represented by Ground – Dragon doesn’t play in on that aspect at all
are you just blind
What do antlions do? they make pit traps in the ground, that’s the whole theme of Trapinch
How the hell does that relate to dragon
You’re speaking some shit. Never said it didn’t do that, I just said there’s real insects in real deserts
Because Antlions/dragonflies are called Sand Dragons sometimes?
Sand = Ground
Dragon = Dragon
Dragonflies have dragon in the fucking name, so why isn’t Yanmega a dragon type
Because Earthen doesn’t like Yanmega so it isn’t relevant
Because that doesn’t support earthen’s biased argument
we’ve been over this
Flygon was meant to be a dragon
and yanmega is an insect that is named after dragon
So is fucking Flygon tho, and it’s not even the right insect XD
So the animal that ALWAYS has the word dragon in its name is less fitting to be a dragon than the animal that sometimes is refereed to as a dragon?
Altaria Japanese name “tyltalis” have “tyl” on it Wich references a star in the Draco constellation.
This is the only connection with Altaria and Dragons so making a Pokemon type based on its name isn’t that farfetched.
But Altaria needs another typing Because that’s a stupid reason to me
It’s based on the blue bird of happiness which features twins named after that star
It deserves to be a dragon as much as Deci deserves to be Ghost
It’s like they gave that typing to Deci so it can look cooler.
It worked for me
Spirit owllllllll
Apparently it also has some reference to some Chinese dragons but don’t quote me on that
Well it’s also based on “Peng,” which were legendary birds that were enormous and had cloud-like wings. That seems dragon-like to me and not normal.
It seems pure flying to me.
And why are you bringing normal? :p
Swablu?
Swablu is just based on the blue little bird, not the giant one
No he brought up normal because swablu has it -_-
I know! 😀
I’m just pointing out that Altaria and Swablu inspirations are different enough for them to be a different type
Just cause swablu is normal, so I don’t think it would’ve worked if it carried over to altaria. I do think pure flying could have worked.
About Antlions:
“The adult insects are less well known, as they mostly fly at dusk or after dark, and may be mistakenly identified as dragonflies or damselflies;”
MISTAKENLY. Its dragon typing IS A MISTAKE
Antlions = Insects
Insects = Bugs
so what about Flygon’s whole sandstorm aspect?
The Elemental Spirit of the Desert?
Ground type
Tornadus is an air spirit and isn’t fucking Dragon lol, if anything nature spirits should be Fairy
It’s called the Elemental Spirit of the desert because of the humming singing sounds its wings make when they flap up sandstorms when they travel
What
The fuck
Does that have to do
With dragons
because they must have used the concept of Sand Dragons to base the pokemon’s theme which makes sense
Which are insects that are confused with its actual basis, the antlions, as Ultron has tried to explain a million times
Then why isn’t Yanmega dragon? It’s also based on an insect with dragon in the name
so they don’t build pit traps or not
or the name Sand Dragon means nothing right?

What the fuck does pit traps have to do with dragon typing
That’s represented by Ground type you moron
because you keep saying it should be Bug/Dragon you idiot
WE’RE SAYING BUG/GROUND YOU FUCKING DINGUS
Bug/Dragon was for Yanmega
(sorry but that’s usually what everyone says)
But i don’t care, its always gonna be Ground/Dragon and will never change
We’re just saying our opinion genius, we’re not implying our moaning will change it
Also you literally pull this everyone you lose an argument, but you get onto me for saying kids game?
Well i tell you why your wrong,
Ugh, what a bitch way to concede defeat. Come on, you know ground/bug makes more sense. Don’t be a wimpod.
I can never win with you assholes, I have to fight alone every time
It does not matter, i know why its its type
Ya didn’t win because there’s nothing to defend about its dragon typing. Your argument is that you like flygon the way it is yet you’re trying to use that as a factual basis, which doesn’t work. I like flygon too, but I can admit its typing was a mistake on GF’s part.
So Sand Dragon inspiration means nothing?
because in the end that’s what Flygon is
Nope. Antlion.
Yes, I’ve literally said this so many times. And don’t want to hear “it’s based on a dragonfly and a sandlion” bull. It’s first and foremost a sandlion otherwise trapinch shouldn’t exist.
And how does that mean it qualifies to be a dragon. Any bug or flying type with wings can do that
It’s said to be a desert spirit because of the noise that the flapping of its wings make. It’s just a urban legend based on incomplete fact
It’s literally a bug that digs traps. Then it evolves to get wings. It’s still a bug with or without wings.
The only dragon thing Altaria has is its Japanese name iirc
Still think Altaria could get another type
Well, it did: Fairy
Fairayyyyyyy
Only kind of
well you guys just focus on the image presented and not what it does
that’s your faults
Stop focusing on the image of Alolan Raichu and Marowak and focus on what they do
Alolan Maro <3
(clever, not)
I am focusing on what it is, i’m questioning its reasons
so what you think people shouldn’t question things?
Then why can’t we question why Flygon isn’t Bug without you treating us all like idiots but when we give you rational opinions from our perspectives about the Alolans you throw a bitchfit?
Act as you want to be acted on
because i give you answers, and they’re supported by facts and some creative logic
you’re just so focused on looks to actually stop and think what the pokemon itself actually does
Earthen… you just said the problem….
Your creative logic =/= real logic
It overshadows the point
Girl, we are giving you facts about antlions and insects and you’re ignoring them
We give you facts and logic and you call it shit because you just have to have your meaningless ‘victories’ whereas you actually lose by being an ignorant ass
And what the hell does Flygon do that’s dragon like?
what facts and logic is that honestly? other then just looks and species
What the hell does Turtonator do that’s dragon like?
Dragon turtle, Chinese myth. Doesn’t have another better suiting type.
Its logic because it’s actually showing you its actual basis fucknut
so what’s to say when Dragonflies that are sometimes called Sand Dragons be the basis for a pokemon? focusing on the less obvious choice to make something more unique
Turtonator can do it because
Dragon turtle was literally a dragon, the fly is only named after a dragon
There’s no ‘Reptile’ type that makes sense because it’s literal rather than figurative
Flygon is an antlion, it doesn’t even resemble a dragonfly that much
In that case why isn’t Yanmega Dragon?
Flygon. Is. Not. A. Dragonfly.
Its dragon is from them think a sandlion is called a sand dragon when a sand dragon is actually not a sandlion
It’s dragon because its arms and tail looks like from those of a lizard. And because it’s based of an insect often called sand dragons (explaining its typing)
It’s literally an insect
Should be Bug because the animal should take presidence over its nicknames
Antlion:

Sand Dragon:

Antlion’s are not a species of dragonfly, but Sand dragons are
Sand dragon’s are****
I wish
It was supposed to actually, but due to artist block from its designer it was scrapped 🙁
Oh yeah I knew that…
I just hope it does
I wish it could
agreed
And look more buglike
Ehh its Bug enough but I think Dragon works for being Mystical same goes for Noivern and Turtonator being mystical like
Noivern and Turtonator are about as mythical as a corgi’s bum
^^this
Though I really don’t want Noivern to lose Dragon…. Is there a reason they have it?
Because it’s literally a fruit bat fused with a dragon (wyvern in this case)
You can tell from the tail mostly
(Off topic, let’s be honest, Noivern is literally one of the coolest Pokemon to come out of gen 6)
YESSD
Seriously, I always loved it and want a fucking pet Noibat
It’s partly based on a Wyvern, no?
Then whats Noiverns story?
And Turtonator’s is based on a Mata-Mata (A spiecies of Turtle) and other than being reptilian why is it Dragon?
It’s a mesh of Wvyerns and bats
And also has some Gargoyle inspiration
Because there’s a Chinese myth of a dragon turtle
Noivern is literally a wyvern/bat, probably because of the similarities in wing shape
What if the whole line get’s a regional variant rather than a mega? lol
Oh god
#itdeservesamega
When triple types come around some that need to happen
Flygon- Ground/Dragon/Bug
Jumpluff- Grass/Flying/Fairy
Altaria- Dragon/Flying/Fairy
Deci Grass/Flying/Ghost
Megazard X Fire/Dragon/Flying
Rotom Forms – Electric/???/Ghost
Kyurem Forms – Ice/???/Dragon
Real talk: Poison literally got saved from being the worst type by gen 6 introducing faries. Can we give GF credit for that balance at least?
Yes
Introduced my new favourite type
Buffed my favourite type of all time
Win win
Seriously tho
(I wish they were weak to ghost and Water was weak to ice and resisted flying but hey, not all good things can happen)
I’m sorry ghost doesn’t need a buff at all
I still want it to get one to seperate it a little more from dark
But it doesn’t need one, and of course ghosts/black magic and evil/fear will be similar, they’re overlapping concepts
True true…
And steel got some love, wooo
Now it’s time for Grass to get a little buff >:)
You mean large?
The only issue…. all of its weaknesses make sense
