  2. think I might make my starter a Pansear. I know Simisear it the most hated Pokemon in the world……But I actually really like it a lot

    Reply

    • For the 20th anniversary i decided to bank a team with every starter and I included every Simi

      They’re decent fun to use but i exhausted myself in the process lol

      Reply

      • Idk why people hate it so much. I’m actually surprised I never ended up using one in my first playthorugh. Iirc it was something to do with it’s moveset, but now that I look at it it’s not that terrible. Just takes a little easing into.

  4. Last question of the night, so maybe a more thoughtful one for banter. So a ‘if Pokemon were real’ one.

    1) Pick your dream team of six.
    2) With your house as it is, how well would they live there? Would you have to remove any of your team or keep them in their ball most of the time? (This includes family who’d have their own six Pokemon, but don’t think about what they’d have just consider the fact)
    3) What changes would you make to your house to keep all your mons happy?

    Reply

    • 1) Chandelure, Gallade, Galvantula, Gliscor, Porygon-Z, Weavile

      2) Lol not very well, this is six Pkms after all, and we don’t even have enough space. So I’d have to keep them in balls and get outside sometimes to release them. I wouldn’t mind removing one or two tbh

      3) How do I even do that without changing the entire apartment, better to move to another house

      Reply

    • 1) Irl Dream Team: Kantonian Ninetales/Primarina/Sawsbuck/Vivillon/Stoutland (based on animals around my area with a bit of leeway)
      2) Meh-ish size house for Scotland so if they stay in their lane the only real issue would be the stairs and getting water for Primarina.
      3) It’d probably be a bit bigger if Pokemon were real anyway because everyone would need more space (and I’d imagine there’d be less humans competing for space) so besides getting like IDK a pool for Prima there’s little issue.

        • Uhhhhhhh
          Rhy 7’10” (my Rhyperior Trainersona-wise is slightly bigger at maybe 8’2″
          Emboar 5’03” (it pains me that i’m taller than Emboar)
          Hera 4’11” (and 5’7″)
          Pan 6’11”
          Goli 6’07”
          Aero 5’11” (and 6’11 Mega’d)

          Deez are big bois

          Reply

          • Aero wouldn’t of been in a house regardless of size due to wingspan and besides doors the only one that would really inconvenience you is Rhyperior with how tall it is, maybe Goliso for not being able to squeeze through thanks to its appendages. Goro should be fine traversing the house if it isn’t knocking stuff of the walls by accident.

            And your megas probably wouldn’t be in your house :p

          • i’d probably need a gigantic tank for Golisopod to stay hydrated
            a large sandy pit for Rhyperior to wallow in
            Pagoro need foresty piles of leaves to be comfortable
            i’d need a large stone roost for Aero
            and Emboar can bunk with Rhy
            Heracross is the only one that can happily live in the big tree in my backyard

  5. Remember when Cheren was first shown and people thought he was a a female gym leader? Little did they know that they would eventually be half right hahaha

  6. The jump rope and volleyball challenges are honestly probably worth taking a full point off of Odyssey’s score. What sadistic motherfucker put these in the game.

  7. My one and only problem with Colress in SM/USUM is that he is constantly playing with his arm computer thing. He’s not even doing anything with it most of the time……I wish it made more sense……Other than that I love Colress so more of him in every gen would make me VERY happy!

    Reply

      • Right? I know they wanted to make it part of his theme, but it was more annoying and didn’t quite make sense.

        Reply

    • The other thing that I had a problem with is that it didn’t make sense was that B/W Ghetsis was angry with Colress when Colress isn’t introduced until later in the timeline. It’s of course possible that Ghetsis knew who Colress was before Ghetsis failed during the events of BW, but why would he be angry with him? It seemed to me that Gamefreak again didn’t know what they were doing with timelines

      Reply

      • I always got the feeling that they did know each other prior to BW2 and that since Colress wasn’t really an evil person at all Ghetsis had always kind of had a problem with him. I get the feeling Ghetsis never really liked him, but was willing to put up with it as Colress had the tech he needed.

        Reply

      • He knew colress from before and was angry because Colress shouldn’t hold anything against him but he did because Ghetsis failed in that colress’ timeine

  9. Well I found part of the stream
    ……..it really seems like they’re reverting lars’s progress… fuckkkk why does he sound so whiny here again..

  15. Hey, I know this isn’t that topical to the article, but if I have watched a good show I would want to recommend it to as many people as possible and that includes all of you. I just finished binging Devilman Crybaby on Netflix. The original manga that it was adapted from ran from 1972 to 1973. Over nearly 50 years since it was originally published the work has had many adaptions and accompanying works. However, none of them was a true adaption of the source material. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this is the anime adaption that I and many others have been waiting for. Deviations from the original story and dialogue were made in this adaption, but that was to make the story more contemporary. (Since the themes of the original manga reflected concerns of the Cold War such as a similar manga called Cyborg 009 had).I know it is a bit early to say this since the year has begun, but this will probably my favorite anime this year. It is on Netflix so it is pretty easy to access for those with a subscription. Forewarning, this show is for mature audiences and should not be watched by children. To give you an example of what I mean, in the first episode a women’s breast ate the upper half of another human. I reiterate this is on Netflix, I am kind of suprised that the company was okay with showing scenes like those. To end this on a more personal note, I will try to post more often and to keep it Pokemon related-no promises if a Drought Torkoal pops up and there is no new Pokémon news for a while leading me to post about other stuff like this lengthy comment. If you have read to this last sentence you can redeem 1 Dae Star at the end of this year.

      • Yea it is quite dark. I have not watched the Little Witch Academia Anime on Netflix. I have heard a couple opinions that the anime pales when compared to the OVA that first caught the General public’a attention. What do you think of it?

        Reply

        • I think it’s great. The characters are great, it has an amazing score, it’s got great action and humor, and the animation itself is something I love. I love Trigger animation, and it’s personally my favorite style of animation for anime, but that’s besides the points. I loved the OVAs, but I think the anime is better.

          Reply

          • Nice, I might watch that since I still have a week of winter break left, but my parents will be consuming a lot of that time since it will be one my last breaks with them. In addition to what I have said before about Devilman Crybaby, you might end up being a Crybaby at the end of the series. If I didn’t already know the plot there would have definitely been many moments where I would have cried.

  18. There’s almost no place to grind outside of Striaton city before the gym battle…….I ultimately had to go in at lvl 11 and hope that the X defend and speed would allow me enough of an edge to beat Cilan. Was able to do it, but there really should be a better place……If you beat all the trainer before the gym you’re basically stuck if you wanna use the Pan monkeys

  19. Just watched the new Steven Universe episode today. I really did not like it. It might, no it is, worse than the Slice of Life episodes that are common in this series. Now I want to rewatch Devilman Crybaby as I don’t want to end my day after watching this episode. I’ll probably will rewatch it eventually because I just found out it has an English Dub which is also good on Netflix.

  20. I’ve only played 18 hours of Xenoblade 2 and I already love it so much! It’s just so fun to play (and funny to watch the cutscenes!) I can tell I’m not going to be able to put this game down for a long while. However, I saw the estimated story length being 65.5 hours and I just don’t see that happening since I’m a ways through Chapter 4 at this point. I guess I’ll have to wait and see.

    Reply

    • Maybe, but seems unlikely. A supposed proven leaker of stuff (not Pokemon specifically) said there is a chance they may show a small teaser, but who knows. I’m still gonna hold steady that they first need to show the final gen 7 Mythical before they reveal any actual news on the Switch game.

      Reply

        • Actually, it was magearna as a new mystery pokemon, then volcanion alongside the movie when magearna had a role, then sun and moon reveal shortly after, they usually start with a mythical or special pokemon each gen.
          Gen II was Togepi
          Gen III was actually the only one i cannot remember, sorry…
          Gen IV was Manaphy, Munchlax, Weavile and Lucario
          Gen V was Zoroark,
          Gen VI was the only gen that caught me by surprise, as the titles were announced at first pokemon glance.
          Gen VII was Magearna.
          5/6 possible sequel gens isn’t a bad guess to say we’ll either get another Gen 6 scenario, or a new pokemon first.

  23. I finally watched the new SU episodes and they were pretty good! One scene was weird and the animation was sometimes lacking (tho the backdrops are great), but I liked it! It had a lot of creativity and pretty good storytelling. I really like how they handled Pink Diamond’s face reveal I think if SU got a new animation team, or the current one worked harder and maybe Rebecca Sugar wrote more episodes with less filler, SU could be much better, even tho it is good now.
