  8. They should’ve let you enter the Pokemon centre before your first time in kukui’s lab -_-

    Resetting for the Pikas is gonna be so fun

    • I think seeing as there is Tauros in the way it’d be fine. Really the Mum should show you the center not Lillie, she shows you everything later anyway.

  13. Ngl I’m gonna get super salty if DuskLycan isn’t just a normal evolution for Rockruff in the future, I get why they’d promote it for USUM but beyond that it should really just be evolve during that one hour of dusk

  14. Just watched the first episode of a new anime
    cliches.exe

  16. Here’s a mystery for you guys for fun~
    Anyone remember the X and Y Ghost Hex Maniac?
    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f6e2b10c9f6e05ee47e5e6f7e8a4760e0dff13706c9087ed2cd418fb6295fd3f.jpg
    Well, I had 2 theories on her, one from the same gen and a reference to the past one.
    Theory 1- OR/AS Demise, a murder mystery…
    Look carefully at what she says in the pic above…
    Now look at this: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a2051cb7f5e1d061c49ec1d88a9f524e7a6be219d2d6e8bd9e6d24a15aa4a430.jpg
    The idea is then that OR/AS take place way before X and Y, after all the Royal Unova wasn’t built yet in OR/AS (At the Oceanic Museum it says that) She died somewhere between the two games, and more likely in X and Y given some other unique clues, such as a screaming situation and a possible murder…
    Theory 2- Unova She falls, Under one Strange Roof…
    Remember how i just said in theory 1 the Royal Unova wasn’t built yet? Doesn’t mean Unova didn’t exist, in fact, Unova’s war also proves that it is pretty old and divided from Kalos.(Remember the founding of the US from Great Britain?) Maybe this hex girl simply haunted a new building as a reminder to the actual player, not the IG Avatar, that she is keeping an eye on them from Gen to Gen… in different ways and forms. Unova also had a strange and huanted place, with another dead girl too… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2b34214977e15f553b17cb7f2e8057ebed12a031028140dd4092bdb16fbe808b.png
    Yep, the Strange house From Black and White 2… She seems to be like the same concept in Unova as in Kalos, a floating, inanimate, teleporting character sprite. (I’m certain the game creators made no mistake, perhaps a nod to her?)
    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/73183c1c433089db202dd672fa3046437aa62c69d012f3863eb1b1dcb3b04b07.jpg
    She might be simply interested in the two diverse cultures and wanted to let the new player (or returning player) know that she was important somewhere, maybe in the past, or maybe in events to come…

    Those are my two theories, hope you enjoyed them and gave it a little more thought, this is just for fun, so try not to start any drama on it, i was just coming up with my ideas of it is all.

    • The Gen 6 ones were on purpose for sure, not sure about the Unova ones. I’d belevie something was going on if in Unova and Alola there were Hex Maniacs saying that same line.

      Reply

    • Umm… Unova wasn’t built yet? What?

      The time line goes

      Kanto/Hoenn – 3 years later – Johto/Sinnoh – Some time – BW – 2 years later – B2W2

      The entirety of Unova was not made in less than 10 years lol

    • My actual theory is that gf didn’t have an idea they just put it in there to keep us talking about the games before we realized there is nothing to do when you beat it

      Reply

    • It’s a bit freaky honestly. “You’re not the one” is just an off-putting statement. “The one” probably means the person who killed her who she’s trying to haunt. The Unova one is even creepier because there is absolutely no reasoning for it. The developers may have just been bored…

      Reply

    • Unova ghost girl was just there to set up your encounter with Cresselia, or at least that’s what they changed her to in between BW and BW2
