  1. Can’t wait to find all of these newly added Pokemon. Gonna be annoying to get through all those other Hoenn Pokemon that the game is so very filled with…………*He said has he rolled his eyes*

    • I’ll take a crack at it:
      1) Third Fire/Fighting in a row. It was a joke at that point
      2) The theme of it isn’t clear. We’re told it’s fire/fighting, but it looks like it’s wearing an oven
      3) Lack of a neck. The head just looks shrunken into the body.
      4) I think it really would be better suited as a quadruped. This is a common complaint among the fire starters, but I think at the least it would’ve made it an easier pill to swallow being the third fire/fight in a row.

      That said, I don’t hate it. I like it more than Samurott. But seriously Serperior is so much better than the other two.

      • From Bulbapedia: “Emboar is based on the soldier of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Ken Sugimori has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style. Because of this, Emboar may be based on Zhu Bajie, a pig demon from the Chinese tale Journey to the West. Infernape is also based on a character from the novel, Sun Wukong, and has a similar design. Emboar looks much like a British Saddleback or wild boar in a wrestling singlet.” I always thought it was a wrestler of some kind. Isn’t the neck obstructed by the flames instead of not existing?

  2. Oh I forgot to mention that I’m a little annoyed at this for one reason

    My location, which in my area we get next to 0 rock and ground types (I didn’t catch my first Omanyte, Geodude, Onix, or Sudwoodo till the rock event)

    At max my area gets 1 Ryhorn every so often, so I probably won’t even catch a Trapinch, Aron, or those till they do an event of sorts 🙁

  3. Bah who cares… I have much bigger problems… I feel like I’m suffocating in my sleep, my head feels like it’s going to pop and no matter what I can’t get comfortable with any position…and my limp pillows aren’t giving me any support…. I feel totally miserable and I just want rest…without cutting off my air supply and choke to death or the very least my brain cells dying from lack of o2…so yeah I’m far from good

    Reply
    • Have you got any way to prop your pillows and your head up a bit more? Perhaps you need to buy new ones, not that that helps you right now. Hope you feel better and are able to rest soon.

  4. So I’ve watched the first episode of Pop Team Epic……I’m not sure it’s meant for me. I may be too old for it….I’m not up on memes and I have no idea what’s going on.. I’ll give it another try, but idk man……

    Reply
      • Like I saw one part on Twitter that made me laugh, but the entire show is too manic for me. If it was a 5-10 minute long thing then fine, but it’s over 10 minutes and then (at least for the first episode) they replay it with female voices as opposed to the obviously male voices. I just don’t know if I’m young or “hip” enough to get what’s going on……..It was a giant headache all the way through….

        Reply
        • I was confused at first too about it playing twice, but apparently they also change minute details between the halves… I don’t know it’s Dadaism or Whatever.

  5. Well picked my starter in blaze black! Ended up going with tepig since it’s the starter I have used the least out of the unova starters! Will become a fire/ground type later. That said I would love some help on deciding my team! I am already planning to catch a swanna for my water type since I have never used one before! And may use a hydrigon too not sure though. Any ideas?

    • Maybe but we do know is that it won’t be until at least the Ultra guardians because all the given trailers still show it as a Litten

          Then by all means this would be a perfect opportunity for a cat fight,

  7. Past – Extinct species
    Present – Extant species
    Future – ‘Future’ species (either something that’s cyborg or mutant like, or a prediction about what a current species will end up like)

    Reply
      • It’s not confirmed but it’s not really got anything running against it. Serperior for example doesn’t seem very prehistoric because the only similarity it has to extinct snakes is its size – and as a third stage snake, it’s going to be big regardless of basis.

        Chesnaught also isn’t totally obviously prehistoric because it’s just a clusterF of mammals

    THIS IS ABOUT THE POKEMON FANDOM
    WE WANT CHANGES, BUT WE DON’T WANT POKEMON TO STOP BEING POKEMON
    WE NEED GAMES WITH INNOVATIONS THAT STILL REMEMBER THE TRADITIONS…

  11. So if a Nintendo direct could be coming out on the 1st (which would fit in the twenty day post mini direct timeline tradition) when do you think it will be announced?

    Reply
  12. I just hope that the next set of starters have at least one non humanoid. Literally all of Gen 6 and 7’s starters are relatively humanoid. I want something like Venusaur or Torterra lol

    Reply
  13. I get worried as we talk about what we want in gen 8, because if gen 8 had all the changes you wanted, would you even bother with buying a gen 9 (besides new Pokémon, better graphics and a new story), eventually it’s going to just feel repetitive right?

    Reply
    • ‘would you even bother with buying a gen 9 (besides new Pokémon, better graphics and a new story), eventually it’s going to just feel repetitive right?’

      Probably considering this is what everyone’s been doing since Gen 1

      Reply
      • Exactly, that’s been the case. But people still ask for changes, and I’m saying if in your opinion they made the perfect game, would you feel it was enough and not buy more?

        Basically, when will the improved graphics, minute new features, and new pokemon/plot become TOO repetitive.

        Reply
          • Right but like, say all those changes were made (hm slaves gone like in gen 7, battle frontier, etc.) would it ever feel like, “wow they’re just doing small changes” but nothing revolutionary enough to warrant 50-60 bucks on a new game.

          • That literally sums up the whole franchise to this point tho. They’re never going to run out of criticism so I don’t see the point of worrying

    • Nah it wouldn’t, different region and story are enough to make the games somewhat fresh, also we already do that and been doing that since gen 1 basically

      Reply
    • No matter what they do or playstyle they use, there’s a way to make it feel unique and fun in some regard.
      Take Sage for example or Phoenix rising or even ethereal gates

      Honestly, fangames are proof that GF does have a good base for a game but has somewhat lost their touch at working it over the years

      Reply
    • Even if you Follow the ending of Joey were he’s in a relationship with his landlady or something and the rest of them are married with children that First one still seems like it would happen. It’d be like another Episode, Except Joey’s Married and Has Gray hair because Matt Leblanc doesn’t need to dye it anymore.

  14. Imagine at the end of the Gen 8 anime
    *Jesse and James Look at the horizon*
    *A silhouette is running towards them leaving a cloud of dust dehind it*
    -Oh no…
    -It finally caught up with us
    *Bewear catches them into its arms turns around and starts running back to alola*

  17. Also sadly this is the last day of running Rain Dance on my SOS team, now with Lono (reg Exeggutor Skill Swapper Bestower) Sunny Day ensures that the target will regenerate the Leppa Berry

  18. Okay, I got an idea for a trio of teenage superheros that have been stuck in my head for a while, I wanna share them (that sounds really lamę, doesn’t it?)

    Death Rainbow
    Real name: Isabella Zgonya
    Age: 14
    Comes from a cult of women, descendants of a Death Goddess. She has satanic powers, can cast spells through arm movements. She ran away after learning her destiny.
    She’s usually an optimist, she’s very cheerful and making jokes. (Acts kinda like Mabel from GF)

    Fahrenheit
    Real Name: Josephine ”Jo” Douglass
    Age: 16
    Isabella’s Girlfriend, from New York. She stole a prototype from her stepdad’s lab, it lets her change the temperature of air around her with her brain waves. She can create beams of very hot or chilling air, boiling or freezing water in a second.
    She ran away from her rich stepdad when she learned about his plans, her mother wouldn’t believe her.

    Psyfists
    Real name: George Gisberry
    Age: 16
    Has the power to create 6 fists made out of an unknown material, and control them with his will. A scientist created him in an incubator, with these superpowers. The scientist wanted George to protect the world from his brother and other villains. Even though the scientist died, George is trying to fulfil his destiny.

    George met Isabella when he was fighting the cult she comes from and then they met Jo when she was running away from her stepdad, who is the son of the scientist’s brother.

    I know this is a long post, but first these ideas came to my head and then my brain just added backgrounds and a story to them and I had to post them somewhere.

  19. So I haven’t felt too good all week. Just found it I have all the signs of the flu that’s going around here. Oh yay……well guess I will sleep and play blaze black this week

  20. Fun Fact: Ash actually has 2 Pokémon that have more than 4 moves, being Snorlax and Kingler

    As Kingler used 2 moves before evolving (being Vice Grip and Harden) and then despite using 4 new moves throughout the rest of the match it still used Harden and Vice Grip later on.

    We all know about Snorlax though so no explanation needed

    Reply
  21. Hey I have a quick question just to make sure I have correct statistics

    Does any major character die or have something similar death (like how Jirachi basically goes away to sleep for another millenium) in Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior?

  22. I know I said this earlier, but I am REALLY loving monotype so much! It’s just so fun, for some reason. Im getting haxed a lot which is making me lose and hate myself more, but whatever I dont think about those things. I love my monotype team, I just feel like it’s fairly diverse and uses pokemon and types I like

  24. My team is finally in is its final forms for this playthrough of Black! All except Klingklang are lvl 48. KK being 49 obvi. Wondering if I should try to grind a little more before taking on the league, but I’m not sure. Also I’m really sad that more than half of my team is portrayed as bad Pokemon in the anime. Why in the world they made them all in part villains idk. Either way I love this team. Oh and it’s a female Jellicent by the way.

  25. I just remembered that Pokemon Crystal releases on the Virtual Console on Friday…yay I guess? Does it come with a Suicune theme? I also preordered Detective Pikachu, because I can…and it seems like another good reason to pick up my 3DS again. It’s currently collecting more dust than it should be, so I’ll probably give Crystal a fair shot this weekend. I stopped playing Gold after the first gym because I realized…I’ve already played this, and Crystal could be coming! And it will.

    • So I have fully decided my final team!
      Emboar- starter feels new though since it’s fire/ground instead of fire fighting

      Lilligant- first time using it

      Mienshao- first time using it

      Swanna- first time using it

      Hydriegon -used once

      Elektross- used once but I ran it as a special attacker. Will run it as physical in this playthrough
