It’s super lame that they chose probably the lamest Kanto gym to emulate in the Malie City gym and it doesn’t even change to the other ones… :/
it’s like they’re intentionally teasing up
2018 Kanto Remakes on the Switch
I hope one day they remake kanto like a new game years later but I guess it would be a challenge to make something good from it
Maybe use the region and everything in it, but rework a story relating to Team Rocket
Maybe steal some of it from the adventures Manga
I haven’t gotten to it yet, but I guess it’s hinting to something
But I only can think of two things that it would hint to
Switch is a Kanto region game or Gyms return in Switch
It’s super lame that the first time you go in there only one person in the gym has a Pokemon from Kanto………Not sure about later times, but I don’t think it’s much better. How in the world can it be a “Kantonian gym” if most of the Pokemon they use are from other regions?
Not to mention they didn’t even use remix of the Kanto battle themes…not even a gym leader one.
I went there again today. Only difference was that Ryuki was there.
Laaaaaame
Just baseless spitballing here, but it could be that the Kantonian Gym is a parallel to how Hawaiians try to emulate Japanese culture in some of their tourist attractions: that they do a very poor job of it. My reasoning behind this assertion, I ate half a bag of candy.
Maybe…..but idk. I’ve never been one to call GF lazy for the sake of calling them lazy. they usually have a plan for things and when it doesn’t go the way fans want they start pulling out the word “lazy”. This time however I’d say maybe they were a tiny bit lazy. They went out of their way to build an entire building, but when it came to any of the content inside they stopped short. I think they just didn’t care enough and that’s what happened. Which is a shame as it could have been a very cool facility.
A thought just hit me
This site has ties to Disqus so wouldn’t that protect this site? Or would all of Disqus also get swallowed whole by the matter?
And another thought, would the Discord board still be up? As it is more an app than a site…
Regardless its still not ok. But if this site somehow could be kept safe it would make me much happier
Dismantling Net Neutrality doesn’t necessarily mean pokejungle will be blocked or anything. Theoretically, It could be by your internet provider if they so wish, but I’m not sure why they would. Either way, getting rid of neutrality is disgusting
It won’t go that way fast. What will most likely happen is throttling of high bandwidth streaming websites like Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime,… unless you upgrade your plan to a ‘high speed unlimited’ plan for $20/month more. ISPs are shitty, but they won’t make everything pay per piece suddenly, then they would be dead lol.
im smiling

Oh my god! No!

That’s pretty nice
Google is paying 97$ per hour,with weekly payouts.You can also avail this.
On tuesday I got a great new Land Rover Range Rover from having earned $11752 this last four weeks..with-out any doubt it’s the most-comfortable job I have ever done .. It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don’t check it GoogleNetJobsFreeWorkFromHome/find/jobs…..

Wait, would all websites and users, no matter which country be in danger if net neutrality would be repealed?
No. Doesn’t make it any less shitty.
I mean, other countries would probably have something simmilar happening soon after it works in the States
You do realise that most countries with a half decent government would realise that their people wouldn’t like this, right?
Well not all countries have a half decent government
I would say 98% don’t. But I may be Biased Considering I’m American and Am in a State of Constantly being Pissed off by Life in General
Most of those countries would try to rid of net neutrality without seeing America do it lol
It apparently is already a thing in New Zealand
Welp I Hope it doesn’t get repealed.
No just the U.S.
If your in Europe or Asia or any other continent than you have no worries on the matter
Despite this some of the members off the top of my head that are at risk are: Starstorm, Seraph, Alex, Earthen, The ultra Monster, Deerlia (I’m pretty sure) and myself to name a few
*Whimpers*
Will effect me too. Freaking FCC trying to screw with our internet. Well that one guy mainly but whatever
I’ll be affected as well, unfortunately
I as well.
I can’t tell if I should indulge in Cyber Monday…
With the way things have been going, my basement dismantled just so my brother can play VR, my electronics having battery and charging issues
I just don’t feel as materialistic as I used to be, but at the same time I have a void I want to fill with things in a vain attempt to feel happy
You should go on a trip somewhere. It’s always nice to have a change of scenery.
Well, after winter because snow is super rad
Seconded. The one thing that sucks going to University in Florida that there aren’t really seasons or snow. Can’t wait to go back home for winter break.
Go to a desert or a mountain
No seriously I feel you’d like a trip to one of those places, it feels very you
Just hit 4750 srs for Poipole. I’ve done 4200 srs without the charm and 550 with it. Hopefully I get the little guy within the next day or two!
Wow, I am legit dying rn from how spicy the chicken patty I just ate was
Can’t be worse than the horrifically painful intestinal distress I dealt with last night
Also this stupid Snowshrew isn’t hatching correctly, nearly a box and a half and I still don’t have a male 5iv Slush Rush Snowshrew
I’ve hatched like 10 Boxes worth of Event Rockruffs and I still haven’t gotten a Shiny
Where did you get it from? I like spicy food so I may be interested.
School Cafeteria
Your biggest hope for a Gen 8 type combo?
Poison/Fairy x100 for me tbh
Ground/Fighting….20 god damn years…and they haven’t used this combination……
It won’t be perfect….weaknesses to water, grass, ice, flying, psychic and fairy but I don’t care…
It’s the two types I live and breathe
A nice attacker :3
You know GameFreak will make it slow as hell and also trial
*frail
So it’ll be regional crabominable… crap
They are saving the best for last!
Or for never!
Dragon/Fairy that isn’t a mega
Electric/Dragon that’s not a Mega/Legendary
Electric/Dark
And most of all
Fairy/Fighting
Ghost/bug that isn’t shednja
Ice/Fire or Fire/Ice. One of the two.
Covering all those bases I see ?
All the ones that matter.
Finally my Snowshrew is ready now I must make the ultimate decision….do I nickname it Snowslash now or just have it stay Sandslash
Unless I nickname it Snowshrew now and when it evolves I trade it back to nickname it Snowslash
I’d say Snowslash
i already named it Snowshrew but when i get the ice stone in Po town i’ll pop it back to ultra sun and change it to Snowslash
Why trade it back to US?
you dumbo i’m giving it right back because i want the name to match the evolution
You can’t rename traded Pokémon tho
You get to name rater before you get an Ice Stone (I’m almost sure)
You re-bred it? I gave you a perfect one…
it was female…
You asked for a female. Also why does that matter?
i asked for female only to change the egg moves up, i didn’t want you to do anything more for me
and i’ve made it very clear i am a pokemon sexist
It really bugs me they still call Alolan Sandslash… sand slash.
Why would they ever call it that
You’re right, but if they made it its own mon, it wouldn’t seem right either
Because it’s part of the species known as Sandslash, even if the subspecies doesn’t live in sand anymore.
Well I know that but like. Someone who has only lived in Alola their whole life wouldn’t call it Sandslash.
I know it’s just so players don’t think it’s a new mon or whatever but still
Elephant hawk-moths are called elephant hawk-moths even though the adult moth has nothing to do with elephants. People will call things the same even if the name is now redundant for the sake of consistency.
oooooo these are pretty :O
https://butterfly-conservation.org/files/elephant-hm-3_for_web_keith-warmington.jpg
at least they aren’t tarantula hawks New Vegas taught me those things are scary
I really want to know what all the other regional variants are traditionally in Alola, since we know AloPix is Keokeo and Alochu is Hodad
Keokeo sounds interesting
Hoooooooooooooooodayd
Do this names mean something in Hawaiian?
Ke’oke’o is Hawaiian for white
Hodad is a slang term which is actually Spanish iirc which refers to a non surfer who acts like a surfer – Alolan Raichu doesn’t actually surf, it imitates surfing
I don’t really get why gallade isn’t fairy/fighting
Because it has nothing fairy about it.
Gardevoir is spiritual and is based on a mage. Along with this, it’s guardian angel based (this point is far more subjective though)
Gallade drops all of this and becomes a Knight. A trained fighter that uses their skills to protect. Hence, why it loses Fairy for Fighting.
Also no Pokémon had Fairy replace one of their types, excluding normal.
But, like wouldn’t loosing Psychic make much more sense? Psychic is much more mage related. And also Fairy/Fighting works better for a knight that Psychic/Fairy.
No and no
Psychic has very little ties to traditional magic in Pokémon. It’s all stage magic based, along with genuine Psychic powers (Gallade is an empath) and things related to the cosmos.
Why would fairy make sense for knight? Fighting covers that by itself
Isn’t the whole empath thing thrown around between several mons of various types? Marshadow for example can sense emotion
Marshadow does it by entering people’s shadows (ghost based empathy) and Lucario does it through aura (which is either fighting based or typeless). Ralts line are Psychic empaths.
True true
I feel like there’s another mon who does it
Sunniera 2.0 is a technological empath. Hacks into your accounts, monitors your daily activities, and infers what you are feeling at that moment.
Delphox is a mage/Witch and it’s psychic
Delphox is based on the mage stereotype but actually fits more into the role of a seer – which is more Psychic. It doesn’t perform anything that’s pure magical. It also needed to be Psychic because Fighting/Fairy/Dark isn’t a triangle. Fighting/Dark/Psychic is.
Because prior to the fairy bullshite
Ralts Kirlia and Gardevoir where pure psychic
Male Kirlia exposed to a Dawn Stone become Gallade which gained Fighting ergo Psychic/Fighting
Now that they are retconned to Psychic Fairy there is no reason the secondary fairy typing should transition towards Gallade who was already Psychic/Fighting to begin and end with
the prime rule is that pokemon do not shift their primary type the only cases of this happening are to Azuril, Swablu and Fletchling which are all normal types but this rarity does not mean any ol pokemon can get away with it
Uh why would it lose its primary typing?
And Fairy barely has any phisical attacks so it won’t get benefited from it
I’m slowly learning Pokemon Essentials…ugh my brain…
What for?
My fan game that I decided to make half a year ago. That’s what’s all the fakemon I made are for.
Is there any lore in Pokémon you want to see expanded?
I want a larger explanation on aura tbh
I’d like to see that. I’d also like to see backstories for the main villains. Btw, Aura is actually a main concept in my series.
I want more information on Ultra Space
If i may allow my case the transversing into different dimensions kinda tore pokemon lore a new one
not only do these pocket dimensions hold pokemon of varying species but some actually contain human-like lifeforms. i need to know if they’re true humans or interdimensional
Megas in all honesty. I hate how they seem to have dropped it in favor of z moves
a better question is how the majority of them go crazy from it
That is a good question. Expand on having to have a strong bond with a Pokémon to preform mega evolution as well. You shouldn’t be able to mega evolve a Pokémon you just got. Looking at you lucario in pokemon x and y
Garchomp: Its arms and wings melted into something like scythes. Mad with rage, it rampages on and on.
Tyranitar: Due to the colossal power poured into it, this Pokémon’s back split right open. Its destructive instincts are the only thing keeping it moving.
Scizor: It stores the excess energy from Mega Evolution, so after a long time passes, its body starts to melt.
Acerodactyl: It will attack anything that moves. Mega Evolution is a burden on its body, so it’s incredibly irritated.
So were we fed a bunch of lies that Mega Evolution unlocks true untold power through our united bonds? or that a surge of dominate traits and abilities overwhelm our pokemon and go nuts
That is so weird. I love the theory that the rotom fed comes up with screwed up entries to mess with you honestly lol
Why are certain mons in the Ultra Space and why are there more likely to be shiny? And is Ultra Space in the end an alternate dimension if the Rotomdex says it’s a certain distance from the Altar?
We could see our first Gen 8 mon as soon as February and that really excited me tbh
Let’s just hope people don’t get their hopes up too much with the starters this time in particular if the fire starts out a qaudruped. I was personally fooled by both tepig and fennekin staying that way and they both went bipedal. Didn’t make that same mistake with litten
That said I am super excited to see the first gen 8 pokemon!
I imagine a small horse that Evolves into a Fire/Fairy Bipedal Unicorn
I can totally see that happening and just imagine the rage from the community at it lol that said I would prefer a quad fire/fairy Pegasus but it’s most likely not happening lol
I just want Toroast the fire bull calf
the evolution can either be bi or quad but as long as its fire/rock fire/ground, fire/fighting or the rare pure fire
I would love a bipedal bull Pokémon since it would be a Minotaur. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Greek mythology. obviously this should tell you hydriegon is my favorite pseudo legend
y’know Hydreigon isn’t directly linked to Cerberus right?
Hyriegon is a hydra though? That said a Cerberus Pokémon would be interesting!
….how foolish of me
All this talk of Greek mythology makes me really want a region inspired by Greece somehow. The legendary trio could totally be inspired by Zeus hades and Poseidon
just don’t do the whole family tree…
Oh I agree that would be overboard lol make the final mythical be based on Kronos though since he is their father in the mythology.
I’d imagine the rest of the Olimpians and the main Titans being the Ultra Beasts of that gen, with the Sea-Sky-Afterlife trio being mascots, while still being those pantheon mons (like Solgaleo/Lunala are mascots and still UBs)
Want to add that I would prefer fire/ground from the types you listed. Make it what Emboar should have been.
yeah no, i like Emboar being Fire/Fighting
The line is Toroast-Triggore-Eruptoro
Toroast rough and rowdy with the ability to blow embers from its snout
Triggore easily agitated and the more heat built up makes it more active
Eruptoro wild and always frustrated, it becomes so angry its whole body engulfs with flames and it rampages
i feel Ground kinda attributes to its hardy nature (not because of lava in any way) that’s why i felt pure fire made the most sense,
I think Blaziken should of been Fire/Flying
Idk, Fire Chicken just screams “Fighting”
Primarina should be Water, Decidueye should be Grass/Flying, and Incineroar should’ve been Fire/Fighting
I would say that they should maybe introduce 3rd types, but that would probably break the game even more
I say fire/dark really fits incineroar. Yes it’s a wrestler Pokémon but it’s a heel wrestler which are famous for winning by any means necessary. Dirty fighting, raking the eyes, low blows, sucker punch( why doesn’t incineroar learn it is beyond my guess)
They all should have stayed pure type
Guys me and Gov are joking lol
Oh, ok
Fair enough lol
Every fire starter should’ve been fire/fighting
At first I FELT VERY ATTACKED that Deci wasn’t Grass/Flying (Flying is my favorite type) but now that it’s been a while I’m glad it’s Ghost bc Grass/Flying is a rough type
But chickens can’t fly. Well they can but not super far
Cockfighting
Roosters are better at Fighting than at Flying
you’re wrong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcegmuWzltY
Would you rather have Gen 8 introduce Megas but only from your least favorite Gen, or Z-Moves from your favorite Gen?
Megas
Mega Kalos starters… except Greninja
Mega Ash Greninja with an abiltiy that lets it use Z-Moves
That already happened in ORAS
What? ORAS added a Mega of every Gen lol
I mean they gave megas of my least favorite gen aka Hoenn
I meant if they gave only your least favorite Gen Megas
forget it, its just easier to say i hated 95% of the megas introduced in ORAS
Did you already hate the Pokémon or did you actually hate the Megas
50 50
they caused me literally nothing but trouble
Megas. I really do not like z moves. And I honestly really don’t hate any gen of Pokémon just dislike some Pokémon from each gen. Looking at you bidoof
Megas from Johto? I guess i could live with that…
Z-Moves, Unova needs a little bit more love :3
I’m really over Megas so I’d say more Z-moves. Even if some are exclusives.
P.S. Hi bae
Megas
Oh man, OU has wisened up to Stakataka shenanigans, it’s harder to play it now that literally everything carries a Fighting or Ground type move…
i hate when they learn from their mistakes
Or not…
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-665518731
why can’t i get matches like that,
Bored…so i’m watching the first 2 episodes of the Big Hero 6 series, gotta say pretty good, not patronizing or lacking in decent animation and jokes
Nothing short of quality Man of Action animation
Is Switch online still free? I can’t get on Splatoon for some reason
Yeah, payment starts sometime in early 2018 so it couldn’t have anything to do with that.
oy….another monthly fee
lets see
i gotta shell 300 for insurance
wow subscription
pokebank
Pokebank is $5 for 12 months, I hope you’re not complaining about that.
‘HOW COULD I POSSIBLY MAKE 40 CENTS IN A MONTH :p
steal
no i’m not but it all adds up, and my job screws me out of decent wages
they barely make me work 20 hours
How much will it be?
I’m pretty sure it’s $20 for a year or something like that.
That’s frickin cheap
Ok thanks, I was in a class so I didn’t see this until now
Yes. It’s either down for maintenance or your internet is being dumb
Probably my internet, it sucks, but it works for all my siblings iPads at the same time (that’s like 5) so I think it might be my Switch
I’m really in the mood for a Nintendo Direct…if they don’t do one in December I’ll be both surprised and disappointed. They always give me something to look forward to, and this next one will be a big deal because it’ll reveal some 2018 games! Predictions anyone?
my biggest hopes and dreams are
Pokemon VIII
Smash Switch
The possibilities of a Zelda Link’s Awakening remake on 3DS (i’m not giving up on the switch yet)
Virtual Consoles including titles from the Gamecube and some N64, hell even some Wii titles i have been craving a replay of Skyward Sword lately
and dat’s all i can think of right now
Oh and Pikmin 4
I feel like that sums up Pikmin 4 perfectly
“Oh and Pikmin 4”
Who don’t like some Pikmin
That feeling when you first get 100 Pikmin and absolutely destroy a Bulborb and feel so powerful
I’ve never played a Pikmin game, I’ve only seen Chuggaconroy’s series on Pikmin 3. I really want a 4th one tho
you should totally pick up Pikmin 1
it really isn’t hard and the first one is so….pure
Animal crossing
If Pkm is really coming in 2018 then we MAY get a teaser for it. And maybe FE too if they haven’t forgotten about it yet.
Had an idea for a cool ability
Corruption
The Pokemon’s allies’ Dark type moves get a damage boost and Normal type moves turn into Dark type moves
Hmmm…. maybe it would work better as a dark type Pixilate
Agree, and change the name to ‘Villanize’ because it fits in with Normalize and Galvanize
