  1. I’m really shocked we haven’t gotten a bug related area in an official Pokémon game yet… there’s so much that can be done…

  2. Ok I’m going to share my starters tomorrow morning but here’s some tidbits on my reigon

    Your goal is to travel across the region to deliver a letter to the professor
    The region is based on Greece and is called Xiria
    Gyms work differently, being a place where you can power up your Pokemon’s stats
    The region has a queen, essentially being a champion except the status is passed down through family and not through skill. Her parents were killed on an attack on the throne, She is the same age as you
    (also UsUm stole most of my plot >:()

    Also I found this cringe

  3. Alright…..defeated Bugsy….I ended up using the Ghastly I caught to use to catch Teddiursa. It’s only on the team temporarily as I’ve already used a Gengar, but it helped me from dying with a combo of Hypnosis and Lick…….What a pain in the ass……It’s done now tho…..

  4. I’m back with Trainersonas mons 😀

    Curry (Kingdra)
    Gender: Male
    Level 81
    Location of Capture: Whirl Islands
    Poke Ball: Dive
    Moves: Hydro Pump, Outrage, Ice Beam, Rain Dance
    Ability: Swift Swim
    Nature: Serious
    Unique Traits: Wears an Expert Belt usually around his head, but whenever he’s at a place or meeting someone, he turns it into a tie to have a “proper” appearance.
    Personality: Curry comes across as a cautious Pokémon, always being the one to question the risks in which might occur in a otherwise seemingly harmless situation. He also is serious normally, but when he’s around his other teammates, he relaxes a bit. Curry also highly respects Eric (Metagross) and Sandstorm (Flygon), as they helped save his life when he got trapped in one of Whirl Island’s whirlpools for hours. A surprising trait about Curry is that he is incredible gluttonous, which is due to all the calories he burns off in Swift Swim.

    Moves: Flare Blitz, Hammer Arm, Wild Charge, Head Smash

  7. I love how Ash’s 3 Johto starters are so quirky. Bayleef being all lovey dovey, Quilava as a Cyndaquil needing to warm up first before using it’s flames, and Totodile being a straight up wacky G . Some of the best Pokemon in his crew hahaha

  8. Well I’m tired and hoping for no school because of the Eagles Parade (Literally about half the school isn’t coming so they may close down) so I’m headed to bed

    Good night!!

  9. Y’all talk about things that will never change in pokemon games
    Like battle system and stuff
    Wanna hear what will ACTUALLY never happen?
    Early
    Game
    Ice Types
    (Outside of Smoochum and Delibird)

    So please, I implore you, hope for a snowy region. We have two tropical regions, two urban ones, whatever Johto is considered, a mountainy one and a complete misjointed sack of shitt. We need some cold to balance things out

  10. After my recent playthrough of Alpha Sapphire, I noticed a lot of cute little things that made me hate the game a fair amount less than I previously had. It may have sucked but there were quite a few cool things I forgot the game had added.

    X and Y completely lacks these little things and is not only barren, it’s boring
