We’re just days away from 2018 which happens to be a “Year of the Dog” according to the Chinese Zodiac. In Japan, the country of origin for the Pokémon series, there are reminders everywhere as New Years draws near. There are also plenty of dog-like Pokémon now in the series, so many so that it might be hard to just pick one favorite but today we challenge you to do just that! What is your favorite dog (or dog-like) Pokémon?!
From Poochyena to Furfrou, Granbull to Manectric, what’s your favorite Pokémon that resembles a dog from our own world?
Here are some pictures to give you inspiration as you think of your answer! Tell us below!
I don’t know whether it’s the adrenaline I got from listening to BOTW boss battle music speaking, but I sure would like a Pokemon game following a similar line of BOTW.
So would I
You can have a new Ranger style game that’s like it.
Well my brain’s busted, I spent a gigantic amount of time clearing out my closet and tomorrow I’m going to do one of the hardest things I’ve ever done…throwing out my old Bionicle containers…I’m…..im gonna need a minute…
I just spent part of my night scrolling through the Bulbagarden Forums thread regarding the Pokémon Switch rumors and worrying about people’s opinions on it. Yep. That’s me. That’s who I am. I swear that if it is not worrying about the weather, it has gotta be something else. Always have to be worried. Lol.

I wouldn’t worry what other people say. Just read the rumors and come up with your own opinions. You may disagree with others, but at the end of the day the facts will make themselves known.When we finally find out what the new game really is people will have to deal with it in their own ways. Some may bitch more than others tho lol
Make this your new philosophy for life.

That’s my Facebook quote!!!
@Monkeyfuzz:disqus Started watching HxH a few weeks back
Is Mereum of however it’s spelled supposed to feel so freaking overpowered?
I think so and yes, it’s spelled Meruem
Wait have you watched it?
Idk, I haven’t watched it. I’m behind on my anime again.
hmm
Mereum is simply one of the greatest characters in the anime history …….the word “Mereum” means the virgin Marry in some eastern language ….I won’t to spoil the story for u but u will see connection between them.
He’s edgy
So u don’t like him?

Alrights Pokéjunglers, I got some hands on exclusive insider information regarding Pokémon Switch. It’s best to keep this confined since it contains sensitive details about the game.
– The next game will have Pokémon in its title.
– The game will be for the Nintendo Switch console
– It’s possible to buy the game through both retail and digital channels
– The game will feature Pokémon, which you can use to battle with
– It’s possible to add aditional Pokémon to your team
– The game is being made by Game Freak, who apparently made several previous entries in the Pokémon franchise.
– The game will be exclusive to Nintendo consoles, due to a never-seen-before deal made with Nintendo and Game Freak.
– The game will feature a story which you can complete and continue on playing afterwards.
– The game is set to release an unspecified time after writing this post, but we do know it’s not releasing before.
That’s all! They are quite the changes to the overal formule, do you like them? Discuss!
No way it’s made by the badass elephant guys
It’s about time we got a Pkm game with Pokemon in the title, a clear improvement over the last games.

That’s literally Darkrai merged with a shiny Pheromosa.
Please reply to my nice comment.
Anyone going to reply and notice what I did? Huh? No? Ok…
What did you do?
I noted how that Dakrai looked like a merge of shiny Pheromosa and Darkrai.
Sure, hun, but aren’t your forgetting something? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/72229159f21c470ec9969904ac5982d3b9da71b0b8c56232f0f0de80cd828239.gif

No. It was just a parody of the Mickey Mouse song from the 50s-70s.
In future maybe include some context.
did that song insult mickey?
No it was an insult to Rattata and Patrat.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a70221b35259fc549d5fb831ccda1a38107f0adf404ef9577925a347ad09db3f.gif

Anyone remember when the anime screwed up and revealed Dewott and Servine early? Like, the BW starter lines as a whole also leaked (far closer to reveal than the SuMo starters tho, but the SuMo starters didn’t have leaked middle evos), but these were leaked and confirmed extremely quickly because Woobat and Axew were revealed like a week later.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/30e7fa4edf09ca887424cbbbb87ff411e5d3efbe253a01d729dc334db3705d85.png
Ah yeah, the anime which also destroyed the fun parts of Team Rocket and made them into Plasma 2.0 for the anime, made fifty thousand “rivals”, and removed fun contests. I HATE the B/W anime. At least the S/M anime had some great moments, B/W overall was belch, with a few gold moments like Dawn returning as well as Cynthia and Looker.
hey Luna, DID THAT SONG YOU MADE A PARODY OF INSULT MICKEY?
NO
then why does your parody insult Meme-Rat?
I had no idea that existed.
? I’m talking about how Rattata is a Meme, it’s okay to insult Patrat though.
I had no idea that Rattata was a meme, I just thought it had enough letters to make the same rhythm as Mickey.
The marketing team (or whoever was in charge for this kind of stuff) were really competent back then
The new marketing team now is really competent and are extremely good at hyping things. It’s just that they don’t have enough content to work with.
This is especially apparent with Gen V and VI which were super hype but had very little left to the imagination, whilst they tried their best to hype USUM but it just didn’t have enough content to hype.
*VI and VII, lol.
Meanwhile the Legal Department are still a bunch of Asshats.
Tragic, hopefully the switch case ends up being different and not the miserable and grief-stricken thing that was USUM hype season
USUM had a hype season!?
Wasn’t 75% of the hype season people just disappointed how similar it was and then 25% hyped?
Yes
Nah it was just a season cuz it had no hype
I remember this scan and reporting on it when I used to have my fansite.
R.I.P. Pokemon Aqua Crystal. <3
On the topic of starter leaks, which disappointed you more? Unova, or Alola? Did you prefer one whilst being more disappointed from an individual design in it?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5c60873d072b870e29dc7c3af514bdf12b2bd861cb1bba0e285bb142562ce783.png
I can remember where I was when I saw these, which is odd because I usually can’t remember any hype season before SuMo super well. That said, I was quite indifferent. These were probably the least surprising ways for these Pokemon to develop besides Samurott, but at that point I really didn’t like Oshawott anyway so I didn’t care. And I like pigs too much to care Emboar was now Fighting-type. The middle evos were either leaked before (Servine and Dewott) or literally just an inbetween with no traits of their own (Pignite) so they didn’t really sway me at all.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8c34dd8a2319cf55c767244837f6c4dd86048554cf1de0beb1a8bd998512e6a1.jpg
I really didn’t mind Popplio until I saw these. I absolutely loved Primarina’s design, and as SuMo hype season is when I really started to like Fairy-types, I was so excited for it.
Might come as a surprise to some, but before I joined here in like August(?) 2016, I stanned Rowlet and couldn’t stand Litten. I actually didn’t really like Incineroar until I did a playthrough with it, whereas I liked Rowlet until I saw more and more of Decidueye at which point I stopped caring. Not a big fan of the feather fingers or the goofy goggles, and when the hood goes down it looks uggo.
So overall, Unova just didn’t faze me and Alola was a mixed bag. Which is arguably better because it actually provoked opinion from me.
Wrestlecat grew on me. the only leaks that changed my mind on a starter were the small ones right before XY came out and revealed the Disappointment that was Delphox(which isn’t as bad as I remember it looking)
I can’t bring myself to hate any of the Unova starters or their evolutions including emboar but Inceliroar is just the worst
How can be Incineroar be any more of a disappointment than Emboaring tho? Third Fighting-type in a row and not even the middle evo can redeem it :p
Because I don’t know something about Emboar looks huggable
I’m not the best judge of that because anything I use on an in-game team becomes huggable to me :p
Don’t use a Ferrothorn
Won’t unless I fail my exams 🙂 :p
Emboar IS huggable :3
http://i.imgur.com/JHXwXsY.jpg
Yay!
Lol when the unova starters leaked I only cared about NSUNS2 back then.
But about the Alolans, I was fascinated at how creative Deci was, like whoever made that leak evolved Rowlet’s theme about throwing its feathers in a very cool way, and I really liked the design too like Deci alone made me wish the leaks were tru.
My reaction to Inci was pretty much the same I have now, couldn’t whether I like it or not. And for Prima I really liked its design back then, now it’s just meh to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’d have to say Unova.
For Unova, I can’t stand Emboar. I feel like there was so much missed potential and that it would of been great as a quadrupedal pig. Serperior was middle ground, didn’t love or hate it. And I didn’t mind Oshawott’s line. But it’s not my favorite Water type Starter line out there.
For Alola, the same with Incineroar, I couldn’t stand it but wasn’t surprised that it turned out to be bipedal given the theme that the past 6 Generations before it featured final Fire type Starter Evolutions that were bipedal. Decidueye was middle ground like Serperior. And I loved Popplio’s line.
Kalos. All suck.
Probably Alola I guess? Because I didn’t like Tepig from the beginning so Emboar couldn’t disappointment me. Snivy turned out amazing, so the only disappointment was Samurott. With Alola I had hopes for Popplio’s evos, and I simply don’t care for them now. And with Litten, Incineroar is major salt in the wound because the first two evos are awesome.
I was so happy to finally see little Pokabu’s evos and I LOVED EM
I hated Emboar but secretly wanted this leak to be real because of Samurott.
*THE BELOW POST IS 99.9% NOT REAL*
I saw this posted on 4chan and it looks deceptively real. I guess it’s possible to copy that format but maybe, just maybe, there really is an unlisted video on the Nintendo channel.

This would be so easy to fake lol
It wouldn’t surprise me if we got a Direct in January or February to show off some of the titles that are upcoming for the year. But I wouldn’t count on seeing Pokemon for Switch news there. It would probably come separately in a Pokemon Direct.
There is a Direct in January for sure
I’ve already found a flaw, Nintendo would call it “Nintendo Direct 1.3.2018” if it were real, assuming they don’t change their ways for no reason. So…consider this an opportunity to predict what will happen in January’s Direct.
Damn peeps are desperate for this January direct already :p
Pls be real even though it probably isn’t
Lol. Way too soon for them to announce it even.
I know it’s fake but here are my predictions for a January 2018 Direct anyhow;
– Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC Pack/Mario Kart 9 (either is great)
– Yoshi’s Yarn Adventures (Yoshi Switch)
– Metroid 4
– Super Smash Bros S
– Kirby and the Acid Balloons
– Xenoblade: The Actual Game (no more chronicles)
– Animal Crossing: Town Master
– Free downloadable Zelda BOTW DLC; cutscenes showing post-Ganon life (free or paid)
– Nintendo Musical (use characters to make a musical)
– Kirby and the Acid Balloons
– Xenoblade: The Actual Game (no more chronicles)
Gurrrrl you don’t need any more acid after these predictions
I have no heck of an idea for Kirby and Xenoblade so I made some bad, bad, WIT titles for them. Just think of them as “Kirby Switch” and Xenobalde Switch.
They just released a new XC. They have DLC to reveal. You think they’ll announce a new game?
They did with Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Huh what? No they didn’t.
I mean they released it fairly soon after SM.
But that was after they were done with the previous games and it was only an enhanced remake, they are still marketing $30 DLC for XC2, they’re not going to cannibalise on that.
Only Fighting games and Pokemon pull that BS.
We’ve already got a Kirby game coming, and Xenoblade Chronicles is the name of the franchise.
I know I just randomly guessed a Kirby game name for it.
It’s called Kirby: Star Allies
– Not happening
– Likely
– Maybe
– Not sure
– Lolwat?
– Nope
– Could see AC, but not that title
– Hahahahahaha
– Is this a joke?
Nah, I mean there was Wii Music, Wii Party, Wii Party U, I’m sure a Switch Musical of sorts would happen. Plus, there must be something MK will happen next year, a new game, DLC, or reveal/announce of a new game.
Bombed, ‘bombed’, also bombed and it was this what put a dent in the Wii U marketing campaign. They’re not going to repeat that.
Finally back!
I saw Ferdinand yesterday and seeing Star wars in a bit for my Birthday, other news I got Super Mario 3d maker and already have finished World 1 of my idea for a Mario game.
Also want to talk about Ferdiand a bit
I thought it was a great movie, for a book that’s about 10 pages it was very well done. I only didn’t like the a$$hole Horses, so annoying
Darth Vader is Luke’s father, Luke and Leia are twins, Han Solo loved Leia, Emporer Palpatine was a Sith lord. There, enough spoilers already for you.
Don’t forget Han Solo dies.
But Darth Jar-Jar?
For Super Smash Bros. on the Switch, I have some ideas for which characters should be in it:
– Decidueye/Incineroar/Primarina (any one of these is fine)
– Marshadow
– Callie/Marie
– Marina/Pearl
– Arms Characters
– Opera Rabbid
– Cappy
– Tiara
– Broodals
– Madame Broodal
– Link (BOTW)
– Zelda (BOTW)
– Urbosa
– Mipha
– Revali
– Daruk
– Calamity Ganon (sized down to be able to be usable)
> Primarina isn’t happening. Decidueye may happen due to popularity, Incineroar may happen due to not being in Pokken and being a fighter
> Marshadow may happen but won’t if any other Pokemon from Gen 7 does.
> The Squid Sisters seem more likely, but Off the Hook don’t IMO. More likely we’ll just get an Inkling.
> We’re probably getting at least one or two ARMS characters considering it’s already a fighting game
> How could a hat and a tiara fight? If anything they’d be present as assist trophies which can possess your foes or on a skin for Mario and Peach but they’re not going to be individual fighters.
> The Broodals probably aren’t getting on over more iconic Mario characters, especially considering how many Mario characters we already have.
> These will just be skins for Zelda and Link, they’re not as different as Toon or Young Link to justify their inclusion.
> I can see one or two Champions getting in but not all 4 tbh. If all 4 did tho that’d be cool because God knows LoZ needs more reps
> Not before Ridley he ain’t
IMO I think all 4 should appear, because honestly it wouldn’t be fair. All 4 are equally strong and shouldn’t be limited. Although IMO fi they had to choose two it should be Urbosa and Mipha.
Let’s not add too many Zelda characters, especially if they’re all from one game
Deci could also because we’ve had a final evolution for fire and water but lack a grass representative
Too many characters that aren’t necessary
Get Marina in there though I wanna fuckup some nerds with my octowife
Also cappy? Wtf are you on
Acid Balloons keep up Star
Meth
Fehth
I dunno they could make him as a skin for Mario or something or an item.
– I find mars to be more likely as a pokeball monster, and the starters are all quite likely except Prima, not popular enough and the body type is weird
– Do the squid sisters even fight lol, if so then they would be good but only one or two tho
– ARMS characters are good but not for me 🙁
– I don’t think they would bring a character from a spin off, especially this boss, fits more as a boss in some sub mode
– Lol cappy and tiara, sure thing
– Broodals as assist trophies, but lol they’re just bosses nothing special
– BOTW outfits would be cool ngl
– I really don’t see BOTW characters in Smash, and calamity ganon can work as a final smash
How can you NOT see them in Smash? Honestly would be a bit offensive to them if they or any BOTW characters weren’t added to Smash tbh.
Lol how that’d be offensive, I just don’t think they fit imo 😡
Ah, so I guess the 2nd DLC pack cutscenes were utterly useless then?
Useless for what? That doesn’t make them more likely to appear on Smash. I can list a number of characters who got more attention but still aren’t in smash
I just want Joker from Persona 5
Marshadow.. just…YES
Counting only the major directs (meaning aired in multiple countries and shieeet)
January 2012
N/A – Got one on Feb 22nd focusing on the 3DS
January 2013
8th-Pokemon Direct (XY Reveal)
23rd-Wii U Direct
January 2014
N/A – S. Korea got its own 3DS centred Direct tho on the 17th
January 2015
14th-Wii U and 3DS direct, reveal of the New 3DS
January 2016
N/A-Got the 20th Anniversary of Pokemon Direct on Feb 26th, where SuMo was revealed
January 2017
12th-Nintendo Switch Direct, revealing the console and some games for it
18th-Fire Emblem Direct
So basically no guarantee of a Direct but if we do get one it seems likely it’d be halfway through
Don’t forget the leaked EA slides.
Ooh forgot those, so we’re probably getting one but no clue when because it varies a bit. I’d wager on the earlier side with the leaks tho
I’d guess two weeks in after the holidays. People need to return to work too, they’re not going to do one next week since half of Nintendo isn’t at work.
Did you have to pay to be able to watch the EA slides?
Starting from 2015 they were given more important stuff to show so if we’re getting one I’m expecting something big like Smash port or FE Switch :0
Wait what for 2017
What the heck is the right circle pad for? It’s the appendix of the New consoles.
Monster Hunter?
Kid Icarus
Oh wait
Ah so it’s for two games I don’t even play. What a useful feature.
No the joke was that Kid Icarus needed that second control stick but it didn’t update to use it
Xenoblade and Majoras Mask 3D use it tho
‘I don’t personally use it so it doesn’t work’
TBF it’s Nintendo’s fault for making a button that only works on such a limited amount of games, it’s not exactly my fault I thought that it didn’t have a use, its usage is really limited.
It’s not anyone’s fault lol. You just don’t play the games it works with lol
Well they could’ve at least come with a list of games it works with, it makes sense to do that.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
Super Smash Bros for 3DS
Some games use it. And youtube
camera control
Soooo… My hopes/predictions for Smash Switch newcomers
Incineroar
Inklings
Min Min/Ribbon Girl/Spring Boy
Shovel Knight
Bandana Dae
Tethu
My smash bros Dream newcomers
(These aren’t realistic at all. Just what I dream of every night)
Mega Lopunny
Marina. No pearl just Marina
Twintelle

ROUMOR
In the next Zelda game, Link will have his Elf hat back. The hat will become sentient and get the name Hatty. Link will be able to throw Hatty and posses them, giving Link control of them. You’ll recognise things controlled by Link easily, they’ll have Link’s elf ears as well as Hatty on their head. This joke sucks.
Yet you posted it anyways 👁️🗨️👁️🗨️
I’m too bored
But that already happened with Minish Cap 😉
