Check out the official Pokémon merchandise that was either revealed, leaked or is now available for purchase this week:
Tbh I actually thought (for the XY starters)that it was going to be Grass/Rock, Fire/Psychic, and Water/Fighting. I saw it as the Rock type would beat Fire, Psychic would beat Fighting, and Fighting would beat Rock. Plus it would be a pretty cool way for all 3 starters for balancing each other.
Speaking of things Gamefreak would never do because they hardly believe in retcons:
Hoopa and Giratina are Ultra Beasts.
Hoopa can freely create Ultra Wormholes with its rings, and Giratina is an invader from an Ultra World (the distortion world) that had to be sent back by Dialga, Palkia, and Arceus… or are they UBs too?
Hire me Gamefreak I literally just wrote the plot twist for Gen 4 remakes
That would mean an ultra beast was the god of Pokemon.
Tbf it wouldn’t matter much seeing as UBs are still Pokémon so it’s not changing Arceus from being a Pokémon creating Pokémon
What I mean is Ultra Beasts are from another world, so Pokemon would be entirely unnatural in the Pokemon world wouldn’t they?
Not if Arceus created them in our world
I mean the Christian God technically isn’t from earth
Hm I guess so. I’d be fine with them doing this if they felt it necessary. I do wonder on what the future of UBs will be in future gens.
Probably swept under the rug like Primal Reversions, Megas, and probably Z-Moves
Makes sense
Tbh… if Arceus is still considered a god-like Pokémon, girl I’m atheist bc there’s nothing special about that deer caught in an ornate fence
But Giratina was banished to the distortion world, not from there. So that would mean Arceus would be an ultra beast because it had to create a portal to send Giratina there in the first place. But I think the clear distinction we have to make is that ultra beasts are from worlds other than pokemon-earth. Arceus and the creation trio are beyond that, not from anything really because they created it all. The only pokemon that I think could fit being an Ultra beast would be Deoxys because we don’t know where it’s from.
Damn you’re right… okay so easy fix Giratina is banished to Ultra Space… idk I really want them to bring back Ultra Beasts I love them
I think you could definitely make an argument for the Distortion World being an Ultra World/Ultra space. It fits the few characteristics that we know of it. Devoid of pokemon life save for the one species that inhabits it. But Giratina def is not an “ultra beast” I would think. Honestly though it gets hard to make distinctions in pokemon sometimes because often the mythology we rely on is limited.
And often poorly written?
Sometimes 😉 I think my main issue is that it needs to be expanded upon. They made a god pokemon and then locked it away within the game. The most we even know about it comes from a Wifi event from HGSS where we literally see it create a legendary pokemon
Ugh I forgot about that… I just hate Arceus…
But really the bottom line is that “Ultra Beast” is just a term to describe something scientists couldn’t classify and study, so they couldn’t understand them. When you get down to it, they’re really just pokemon. Not quite something separate from pokemon. They just have special characteristics.
Ash’s best team based on win percentage, this is factual so cant be argued with.
Pikachu
Snorlax
Glalie
Charizard
Greninja
Krookodile
There’s a fine video about that on YT
Win percentage is bs when some of these Pokémon fought twice the battles others did whilst some of these Pokémon were rarely used yet successful in certain situations
Consider yourself argued with
No grass type.. his sceptile :,(
Sceptile has a pretty average win percentage, esp in its pre-evolved stages
But i agree that Sceptile should be in there, because well look at my avi
I never recall his glalie doing anything spectacular, so that’s definitely the most interesting member there
GLAYLEE
Also props to Krookodile for being the actual boi
His Krookodile was probably the best of his Unova team in every way.
It was the best of the majority of his teams tbh
It was also the only Pokemon on his team in Unova. I dont consider the thrash he messed around with Pokemon
I think he really underused Leavanny, then again I didn’t watch the whole of gen 5 anime because it was generally bad.
Literally not worth watching except for the Plasma arc and the Charizard reunion episode
His Glalie has a 57% win percentage
That’s easy to have when you were used like twice
Nope 4 times as Glalie and twice as snorunt which it is at 50-50 in Snorunt form and 75-25 as glalie
hyperbole

C’mon English lessons!
C’MON GRAMMAR LET’S GET GRAMOROUS
You’ll never be Grammar.
Well grammar have you ever watched the show?
Omg are you single ?
Edit: bye bye wig
Yeah but I’m also not long out of single digits so I’m sorry ?
Smh you’re right I can’t rob the cradle
Can’t be pulling a Detox
Hold it… X
I’M ROXXXY ANDREWS AND I’M HERE TO MAKE IT CLEAR
Okay I’m done here
AS2 made me feel that way too
I just read up on it. It participated in all, but one watch of the Hoenn league and lost only once in a double knockout with a sceptile
Glalie was pretty immense in the Hoenn League if i remember correctly, won all of its battles.
Except one which was a double knockout with a Sceptile

Very weak to fighting tho
Charizard covers the fighting weakness tho
Poor glalie won’t see light of day again.. it’s “too ugly” I suppose.
Glalie is alright, mega glalie though….ugh
I mean from a money making perspective. Plushies n what not
Oh, yeah you’re right.
This wouldn’t be popular?! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7e3bc9b9672066e0e2cf711282ada4d05f1f20571fb7e1c9c36d8b02392dd768.jpg
…. ???
???
I just found a pic that says otherwise.. this can’t be right cuz gooses isn’t there at all.. it only lost once. This must be old. Plus infernape??
How long did it take to work this out?
I didnt make this
Not to keep bringing this up but.. I guess rowlet won’t evolve.. :'(
Due to that old leak I’m reminded of.. so sahd.. tho Dartrix is still really cute and full of personality yet battle ready. Dang anime…
Ash’s real best team
Oshawott
Butterfree
Noivern
Torterra
Boldore
Palpitoad
Replace Noivern with Unfezant and you’re correct
Oshawank and Bye bye? 10/10 troll
Never
Torterra and Boldore tho :3

You just crossed the fine line between best and overpowered af
Ummm Torkoal… Helllllolollol
Pikachu has been thrown in the garbage.. Ash has seen the light now. #AllStars
The real team right here ladies and gentlemen.
I think people have a hard time understanding Pokemon battles would be Wayy harder in real life.
So many possibilities..
It’s not just click.. think a minute.. click again..
It’s intense..
In reference to calling Ash weak.
Honestly.. probably only 1 or two of us could ever clear the league if it were real.
Playing a game 10 years proves nothing.
I’d totally be a co-ordinator instead, that looks way more interesting in the anime
I agree
True. It’d have to be one hell of a simulator to train for that virtually.
Wasn’t there one in that first season episode where they go to the Pokemon Academy and meet the kid who was hazed?
I’m laughing so hard right now
Like I get that an Adamant Conkeldurr would definitely one-shot Black Kyurem, but the main reason why I’m dying is because of all the build up and planning Ghetsis had for this very moment. Ghetsis went through 2 years of rebuilding Team Plasma, breaking out of prison, constructing a Pirate Ship with an ice cannon, finding Kyurem, finally getting the DNA Splicers, and finally fusing Zekrom to get 2/3 of the original dragon and freeze Unova,
Only for a regular mon you would find in a Unovan cave to Plus Ultra the living thing out of Kyurem the instant after Ghetsis fused it.
That’s pretty funny, actually, but you’re wrong about one part…
I just played White 1, they fumbled ghetsis and he actually got away, that’s when it started studying kyurem, as N’s castle was collapsing.
iirc, the shadow triad may have helped him with his escape, ironically only to contain him themselves in 2.
Huh, I didn’t even remember that, and I just completed Black back in June and I should’ve remembered that.
It was a small convo shortly after the post game begins, possibly in juniper’s lab or route 1…
Lookie deers, i got a good find at best buy~

If only they had Amiibos of all Mask forms
i want a Goron and Deku Link (I hate how they made that ugly branch come out of his head when spinning)
I have to say, the updates in MM3D to the models really made them pop, especially if you played the original.
true but still i loved seeing that big hat hat twirl
So what are you losers up to lately, its been too quiet lately
i’m taking a Odyssey break out of severe wrist cramping
Well
Hunting shiny Azelf which I’m gonna name Din
Trying not to burn my room in fire because chemistry sucks
Getting hyped for melee to be shipped to my room and to play the heck out of that. And that’s really it
Also very angry at this poll. At this rate the eliminated person is gonna be… And I don’t want it to be…
in order
Hmmmmmm i’m conflicted Din is power which is Azelf’s thing but Nayru is blue…
Pyromania is its own reward
Smash4 spoiled me, i’d tried playing Melee a few months ago and if you can’t do imputs or them fancy moves you will be ruined by those who can
and that poll speaks only the truth, has Hau been booted yet i hate him with a deep searing passion
I gotta do Din. Din is power, but I know what you mean. Farore is courage, and courage is an emotion (Mespirit). And Nayru is wisdom and Uxie is literally wisdom as well.
I need to start playing with it. I will just be playing with friends and no one knows those high tech tricks so its fun (with items too)
And do you not participate in the polls? You should and so far Has has not been eliminated of the first 8… Yet. You don’t like Hau’s cheerful attitude? I love it it makes him fun.
wouldn’t Willpower be courage as well?
but then again will to fight is power,
Hau is too sweet innocent and good hearted BLLEEEEYUUCHHH that happy smiling face is just telling “Earthen please bash my face in with a rusty pipe”
True, but courage is more an emotion than power.
Lol, Well he isnt smiling in his USUM art, so maybe that’s a plus for you. I dont like it. I want cheery Hau.
i want caved in skull Hau
Seeing Kahili eliminated made me very happy
I wish she wasn’t she was very cool ;~;
I just watched “Drag Me To Hell”. Several people got dragged to hell.
tell Satan i won’t be able to come in for that 4 o clock workshop
will do
Was actually just playing Odyssey. Loving it a lot.
Anyone here NOT interested in the Switch?
I had a Wii U for Bayonetta 2 (the only game I had) but couldn’t afford Wiimotes for other games. I eventually sold it bc I didn’t use it for anything, since all my other games were on 3DS or Xbox 360 (including Bayonetta 1). I don’t really like Mario or care about Zelda or the other Nintendo exclusives. Well, Splatoon looked cool, but I didn’t have the money. Sold mine ages before Pokken came out.
I played some Devil May Cry games, and a Tomb Raider game, and I still play Skyrim sometimes. Lollipop Chainsaw was the first Xbox game I got, and I’ve played that at least 3 times.
I’m not knocking the Switch: I’ve never played it. Is there anyone else who just doesn’t care?
http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/248/287/af6.jpg
More Switch for you, Earthen.
I want a Switch and some of the games, but I think it won’t be like holding Arceus in my hands
Whoa……Just saw this on Bulbagarden. Has anyone really took a good look at the pre release download cards from a week or so ago? The ones with the Rainbow Rocket shots. In the US one it has the player riding on Lunala in Ultra Space while the UM one has the player riding on Solgaleo. So maybe we get both in these games!!!! Maybe once the version mascot gets taken by Necrozma the other one shows up some how and helps you get into Ultra Space to chase after!
So my theory was correct! Yeah!
Is there anyone with an extra ash cap Pikachu with its z crystal that doesn’t really want anything in return? I Don’t care which 1. Apparently tonight the code expired. I thought when it said until the 30th that meant it’s the last day to use it. But it ended up being the day it expires completely
Kinda wish Darkrai were part ghost
one new pokemon and one new ultra beast phew
this ones based on different depictions of the devil, and it could be either dark-fairy or dark-dragon, i cant decide since it looks and feels very dragon and i can see it being the druddigon / drampa of the region, but the devil is a fallen angel so fairy typing makes sense too so let me knowww
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3bda05d0ae4f512637331b337794cba2bed7ad3c5bde5d0abe4ff8cedcec1a66.png
and the ultra beast, UB SIMULATION (electric-psychic) is based on virtual reality and where the human race is sort of heading, the leg is transparent or “fading away” to show that were so into virtual reality that were gonna stop being real and eventually live virtually, whatever that means ;’3
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/135e978aaec12ccbf0f51a3985afb0c8d9034342f683409a77fa1fe104a9bc7d.png
hope you enjoy!
Those are pretty cool!
I dont like how Pokemon has kids openly glorying traits of the devil. Sinister. But I’ll still play.. damn.. you pokemon
*cough* Girantina *cough*
Ehhhh that’s a hard stretch, Giratina’s only connection to the devil is just the concept of banishing to a horrible plane of existence
But the real concept I sit being the master of a world where time does not flow or space having no laws aka antimatter
I heard that its design incorporates the 666
How…its a basalisk with some winged serpent
6 wings, 6 … somethings .. it’s a stretch cause 666 isn’t the actual number of Satan
It is the number of satan in popular culture tho
True but still
I wouldnt say it’s a stretch. I’d just say giratina is as far as Pokémon is willing to go for something based on the devil. I mean arceus (god) banished it to a shadow realm because it was too violent, which is pretty similar. Giratina doesn’t steal souls and torture people though because arceus isn’t a benevolent god and doesn’t condemn people
I’d say Dark/Fairy or Dark/Dragon with a Fairy type Steelworker for the ability
Happy Halloween y’all! Make sure to get some candy….
But don’t eat too much unless ya wanna experience something REAL scary! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/94aecc469bd2bb8d317b5a32532d16b4afbfb8da4187dce8a1db3af9c33af2dc.jpg
Well nobody cares about this but we’re most likely getting a new wow expansion announcement this Friday during Blizzcon
And today is going to be the most lackluster Halloween ever, my brothers don’t wanna do anything nor anything is going on, and I have to work 8 hours where I’ll be helping shlubs get bags of candy and last minute decorations and supplies hoorah….
Then to go home and keep working on odyssey finishing the wooded kingdom and starting the lake kingdom (ugh water levels are so tedious) and while I do that a Treehouse of horror marathon with my own bag of candeh

I won’t even lie, these are super cool
I love Empoleon <3
Okay, those are pretty cool
That empoleon tho 😮
Torterra looks like it borrowed from chesnaught
The quiet before the storm…
The silence is real, you can hear the whispers and the cluttering of Sewaddle’s at PJ.
Everyone knows it, we can all sense it..
something big is on the horizon..
bring on Thursday!!

Happy Halloween my friends! Who’s excited?!
not me
I still need my costume and to get through school so I’m not excited yet at least
Not one bit
I’m just watchin Scream
So my odyssey journey is now over, now to go back and get all the moons
I have 500 and I’ve only scratched the surface
have u beaten the game atleast?
Yeah and I saw the very last final challenge it’s pretty tough
I totally feel the same way. Whenever I turn on the game I’m surprised by what I find. I managed to break 600 last night, but it hasn’t been easy. It’s getting more and more difficult as time goes on, actually, because they’re so well hidden.
I found one in my shoe
Ughhhhh that’s it when I get home I’m busting through Wooded and then Lake and maybe even Metro
ugghhhhhhhh my fire is pretty much extinguished… I need a spark or a jolt to reignite my being
