Here is the new opening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_J_pBXMwOg
I really hope ash’s rowlet evolves eventually. Decidueye would be a great ghost type for him!
Sadly it probably not gonna tho…. Comic relief and all
also the series is almost over
Sadly you are most likely right. Won’t bother me too much because I love It’s overall design but would have been nice seeing him with Decidueye
I presume a Deci trainer will come around eventually
I can see that happening. If anything maybe rowlet evolves into Dartrix at least. Have to wait and see I guess.

THE ODDS ARE AGAINST US, THIS WON’T BE EASY BUT WE’RE NOT GONNA DO IT ALONE
Reported for cringe
We are the Ultra guardians. We’ll always save the day. And if you think we can’t. We’ll always find a way. That’s why the people of Alo-la believe in
Lillie, Sophocles and Ash. And Pikachu!!…
*Points gun towards head and finger on the trigger
Kinda bland, too much Poipole focus making seem like the entire rest of the series is about Poipole
Because Poipole will lead to the Necrozma arc
Let’s be honest who’s watching the anime at this point? They screwed up fucking buzzwole somehow
Yes, because their comedy relief season of a show aimed at children was going to go super grimdark because innocent confused Pokemon showed up. Buzzwole was perfectly in character lol
I mean they could have at least battled it…
They had to spend time on set up because it was their first Ultra Guardian episode. And realistically, they didn’t stand a chance.
I watch the dub (I have explained before why I watch nothing in japanese) its not perfect, but it’s a time killer
Also as much as you all hate X/Y this scene honestly brought a tear to my eyes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1miD_iNEGo
That ending is always going to be slightly weird to me….. found out my grand dad passed away when I was finishing up the game. Nonetheless a great ending to the game
Oh….. that sucks 🙁
Yeah not a fun memory. That said I choose to remember the good times for the most part. I have a nickel he gave me when I was young attached to my key ring. It was a nickel in his soda machine that he owned that has a hole in it. Have kept it all these years and plan to keep it forever!
As long as you remember them then they are never truly gone….
Agree 100 percent!
It’s pretty damn good imo
ITS BEEN THREE THOUSAND YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETS
Also, how does sycamore know who the man is?
Probably assumes
Well I have made it to the third gym in crystal. Team is
Totodile lv 17
Phanpy lv 17
Growlithe lv 17
Elekid lv 17
Yeah Whitney swept me lol her freaking cow! I guess when I get off work I will train my team up some to take her down
I honestly do believe we could have a really good story heavy pokemon game IF they don’t focus ONLY on the story
Black and white comes to mind when you say good story pokemon game
The thing is, Pokémon dosent NEED story. You can see with the older games that the more they put gameplay over story the better
Oh I totally can see that, I just am saying it’s certainly possible
I got skyrim for switch deers, i got a slight issue…
I need to escape after the part where the dragon attacks, no idea how to escape, it popped in a hole it made to a tower and blew fire, what do i do?
Jump out of the hole to the roof.
Makes sense, thankies~
No problem! If you need anymore help let me know! Have played skyrim ALOT on my PS3 lol
Where are the trains? (I’m referring to this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNaTZV8qS1I)
So I made it to the third gym in crystal. Issue though I am starting to have second thoughts about my starter choice. I am for some reason wishing I had picked chikorita. Debating restarting it and if anything transferring my elekid up. At least I haven’t gotten too far lol
Somebody else wants to use Chickorita! I thought I was the only one
I have been having the thoughts for a while now. Probably because it’s the one I have used the least lol may restart later today. Just need to connect to my 3ds to WiFi here to transfer my shiny elekid to my bank account lol
There’s so many areas that would fit so well in a Pokemon world that haven’t even been remotely explored and it really makes me upset
If the next region is another urbany or tropical area I’m gonna be upset
Can we have another mountainous region plz
More mountainy
Like actual snow
Like
Early game snow
Would be nice
Not Sage level though
Sage makes me think 3rd gym area would be best for Ice
Yes sage level
It’s the only part I dislike in Sage
Most games have about 4 first route Pokémon or less, Sage has Burb, rodent and like 4 ice types
They just aren’t fun to use at the beginning for me
I wouldn’t mind that. Maybe regional bird could be a snowy owl? I want hedwig in pokemon form lol
Well rumors are the next region will be based on Spain so that can give us some hints of what it will be like
Can I just say I want a region based on Egypt eventually. Imagine exploring pyramids for legendary Pokémon! Maybe a region form for the riolu and Yamasaki lines?
Now we need two Pokemon that can punch really fast and really hard, and give one of them the ability to stop time.
And make them available in a Cairo like area
I want this so much now….
Oh damn, you actually got it?
Stop time is a reference to prince of Persia right? Please correct me if I am wrong! The stop time is what caught my attention. Could be a very interesting Pokémon! Definitely part psychic type
I totally didn’t get the reference did I lol you may be taking about hit off super since it is your profile picture or I am totally off again
It’s a reference to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.One of the Stands, The World, has the ability to stop time. As well as punch really fast and really hard.
I have been meaning this watch that Show. Keep forgetting to
Yes yes and more f*cking yeses to that!!!!
Well I am not the only one who wants it then!
Personally, I kinda want a more urban Pokemon region. I know, Unova did it already, but I’d like to see again with another region. It doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to see unexplored areas, because that sounds cool
The reason that Poipole is attracted to light in the anime is because its own world doesn’t have any, which will lead to the Necrozma arc
You’re all welcome for why Poipole was interested in Pikachu
Ayy
Ohhhhhhhhh… Inb4 purple horn Necrozma
School is so boring today
I have had in each class so far (including myself)
8 in English, 9 in History, 11 in gym, 6 in Chem.
Only 4 of my friends showed up and the next I see one of them is the last period of the day 🙁
Today just got better

My mom also told me she bought me a Kirby T-shirt and it came today 😀
So cute!
After taking about an Egyptian pokemon region I am trying to figure out some Pokémon for it lol what could the starters be? The cover legends? Regional variants? Ideas people what you think?
Starters:
Fire/Fighting Rabbit
Fire/Fighting Snake
Fire/Fighting Goat
Legends:
Fighting/Fire Horse
Fighting/Fire Ox
Regional Variants:
Fire/Flying Dragonite
Fire Gumshoos
Fire/Fighting Tapu Koko
Fire/Fighting Simisear
Fire/Psychic Zoroark
Fire/Dark Raikou
No no no no no lol too many fire/fighting!
I’d say a Lizard, maybe a Goat and a Cat
All I know is I bet a Ghost type starter would exist
A cat could work. Maybe it could evolve into a sphinx?
Sounds right to me
Make it Grass/Ground with Sabertooth tiger features
That would be cool!
I am bummed….Fakemon because I don’t feel anything no mo
Necroculus
Observer Pkm
Ghost
Frisk/Cursed Body HA: Shadow Tag
A large purple and black Pokémon with a large grey eyeball making up most of its body, it has numerous specter tendrils trailing off its end, inside it’s gigantic eyeball is a large red pupil with yellow veins, its eye lids have tentacle like eyelashes with splay outward

“It fixates it’s large eye onto prey and stares it down, those who meet its gaze slowly lose life force and wither away”
“Its said if it stares into its own reflection it will continue staring until time stops”
Earthen, I’m sorry to tell you but I think Fakemon have been deported from PJ
Can you salt later? I don’t have my chicken ready yet

It is the ultimate staring contest
Eye don’t know why you didn’t join the fakemon sever yet
I think I did but I barely go on discord
unless my bitch is online…which she hasn’t been on in a while ;_;
Im currently making a discord server with my friends! Would anyone like to join once its all set and ready?
Sure
Yas
Yeah
Dear GF: please stop making shinies that have minimal change in color. It makes trying to get them a gazzilion times less satisfying and may possibly even lead to resetting over them
Sincerely: Fans of your franchise/a person who’s been hunting shiny Zekrom for the last week
It makes me despise Exploud even more than prior
Generic “We need an ice region” post
We literally got only 1 actually new Ice mon in Gen 7. And even with the Alolans, it’s just one evo and 2 2-stagers
Yeah, Ice is super common in tropical regions so all of the dex should’ve been Ice.
We do need an ice region though ;3
I mean there is alot of ice cubes
Fourty new ice types but they’re all ice cubes made of different juices
There we go
Ice/Dark blood ice cube
Ice/Fire lava ice cube
Ice/Fairy pink lemonade ice cube
Ice/Psychic vodka ice cube
Ice/Fighting whiskey ice cube
Ice/Ice baby ice cube which evolves into an
Ice/Grass vanilla ice cube
Ice/Normal normal ice cube
Ice/Poison bleach ice cube
But was 1 enough? It’s already the rarest type in the entire game and then to just give a single new one seems unfair (like maybe an animal that lives in both cold and tropical areas that is Ice type)
*3 (Alolans are new additions to a type if they aren’t already that type) and uh, yeah. It’s a tropical region. Not the best time to suddenly include more Ice-types than they did before lol
Alola gave us a pretty uneven mix
Excluding Alolans
4 Ground and 2 Dark
We just need a more balanced set of types
I kind of agree . Ice type needs more love. In gen 7if memory serves the only new ice type we got was crabominle, in gen 6 4 with the aurora and avalugg line.
Ice is actually the rarest type in all of Pokémon and fell behind Ghost in Gen.7
Dang didn’t even realize that
We need more ghosts too but I’ll leave that for another day
Frankly, I’m glad Alola’s mons fit the region so well, even if it means little to no Ice types. It actually makes the region feel natural, which is important because the franchise is very much world based – pretty much as it is collection based. I expect this trend of New mons fitting the region to continue, especially if we get bigger worlds – whether it be the Xenoblade Chronicles esque open segments with transitions between or true open world (like its sequels)
if we get Russia can expect ice type for everything
If we’re gonna get an Ice region, it should be skandinavian
Russia is like 95% Ice though? Lol
Yeah, but I really wouldn’t like Russia to be represented in a good light by Pokemon. Just look at what Russia did to Poland (and other countries) in the past and it’s Goverment is still horrible nowadays.
America and Japan aren’t exactly innocent lol, but they got represented. Just because a child plays a Pokemon game with a Russian based area doesn’t mean they’ll develop a hatred for capitalism and try and invade Poland.
Honestly I wouldn’t take that risk
There isn’t a risk are you kidding me
That was a joke, now I can see that wasn’t clear lol
And thankfully, you’re not the person in charge.
Does that mean you also hate Germany?
*Scandinavia
And how dare you imply those tall wannabe albinos are superior to mother russia

I am still annoyed we didn’t get a dolphin Pokémon….
You can say this for any region tho considering dolphins are found in either 4/5 or 5/5 of all the world’s oceans (can’t remember which it is)
Yeah I am not getting my hopes up anymore lol hopes it would happen in gen 5 and 6 too but nope.if it happens it happens lol
Agreed but we need an ice region
I dont know if this was posted but this is good rendition

They look old
Staying up until three is never actually as rewarding as you think it would be
Famous last words
Nani?
I was up like way after you went to bed watching youtube lol
that was a mistake
;3
Pokemon Capitalism and Pokemon Communism
Game is set in an Alaskan region which is in the same group as Unova and Alola but you can see the Russian region from your backyard
The legendaries are Trumpenetrate and Putitin, with the third legend (and mascot of Pokemon Drill) is Impalin.
Nah, the 3rd version should somehow involve North Korea to complete the trio
killed it
go
Got my team to Lv 50 and turned out there was no need, took Ultra Necrozma down in 2 hits, one Quick Claw Darkest Lariat and a Play Rough from Mimikyu. It was rather anti-climactic, about the same as beating Dusk for Men Necrozma before it.
You’re just about the only person I’ve seen that didn’t have some kind of trouble with Ultra Necrozma. I’ll agree that the dusk mane and Dawn wings forms were pretty lame battlewise, but I had a very exciting battle with Ultra Necrozma
Well I lost the first one at level 42 so I thought I had to train up. Turns out I could probably have used Quick Claw and revives and won at that level probably. I even had a back-up with Lycanrocs’ Sucker Punch that I ended up not needing. I guess if the AI had used Photon Geyser on Mimikyu Disguise wouldn’t have worked but it went with Smart Strike instead.
I think my Pokemon were all around 50ish when I faced it. Was still a little tough for me. Well at the very least I could call it exciting. Was certainly a pretty big jump in difficulty compared to the rest of the game.
I’d been staying under-leveled on purpose until this point and only really found Togedemaru slightly challenging since I was trying not to use Torracat against it and Skarmorys’ Stealth Rock was a pain.
My team took it out in two hits as well, first try, no Z-Moves even required. I mean Ultra Necrozma sure hit like a tank for the turn it was alive but I was genuinely surprised at how easy it went down after all I’d heard about how people struggled to defeat it.
What level were you? I was nearly 20 levels below and unprepared the first time. I haven’t used Z-moves at all through my proper battles, only in wild ones to see them like the new Lycanroc one. I think everyone else’s experience made me think the battle would be harder than it was so I overcompensated slightly.
I can’t wait until next region is a tropical city.
….but Alola was tropical
THIS IS WHERE JOKE IS

Gold My Nintendo Coins wil lfinally have a use on Switch

I still believe that we’ll probably get a Nintendo Direct next week, possibly on Valentine’s Day (remember the one on April Fools?) The guy on Twitter who claimed one was coming in mid-February still seems pretty confident in that. The timing also makes sense with Bayonetta 2 releasing that Friday, much like Samus Returns in the September Direct.

OK Josh Omega, imma put your Knowledge to the test for skyrim…
I am looking for the dragonstone, i am in some huge dungeon for a wizard that needs the stone.
After fighting many badnits, spiders, and zombies… i came across this second puzzle (not the spinning obelisk one, i got that.) it’s a new one with a rotating disk system from inside to out. What 3 symbols do i have to use to disengage the lock, from outermost to innermost?
Earthen bores….23 minutes left in my shift then to come home to a house full of complainers and mopes as I continue to SR for the legit Shiny Celebi and level my Orc Warrior “Crugg”
