  16. I’m beginning to question whether Pokemon even exists anymore. New games come out in 2 months and we know almost nothing. Not to mention that I keep forgetting that USUM are on the way at all. What is a Pikachu?

  18. Pretty petty that we have always those two people (or maybe it is the same guy?) from Pakistan coming in and do some garbage trolling. They even bother to create an account a week in advance and use a VPN. Why would you even bother?

  22. I was thinking. If we do end up going back to Kanto then I think I may send Pokemon over to the game to play with rather than play with regular Kanto pokes. I’m kind of done playing with Kanto native mons. At least regular ones. I may send over a bunch of Alolan form Pokemon to play with. I’d like to play with A. Executor and A. Sandslash

  25. Apparently Mario isn’t a plumber anymore. I immediately cancelled my Odyssey preorder and will write Nintendo an angry letter that I find this unacceptable.
