Even more Pokémon native to the Hoenn region are coming to GO!
Starting tomorrow, several Dragon and Flying-Type Pokémon, including the Altaria, Salamence, Pelipper, Swellow and Metagross evolution lines will be catchable in the wild! The Flying/Dragon-type Legendary Rayquaza will also begun its stunt as a Legendary Raid Boss alongside Kyogre until March 16th.
In celebration of Rayquaza’s ascension, Generation III Pokémon will exclusively be taking over spawns worldwide until February 13th, Raid Bosses and Egg hatches will have some new additions, new special boxes – which include Raid Passes, Incubators, and Star Pieces – will be available in the in-game store until February 23rd, AND Lure Modules will run for six hours a pop in the same time frame.
Lots of exciting reasons to get out and GO this month – and this isn’t even counting the imminent Valentine’s Day event! I’m just excited that I’ll finally be able to catch one of my all time favorites, Altaria!
QUESTION OF THE DAY: If you could choose any Flying-type Pokémon to bring you wherever you need to go in real life which would you choose and why?










Back for my somewhat weekly comment on the Jungle! Gave a quick skim through the comments section and seeing as no one is talking about the article, I will make a topical comment as I am one of the few people here who is still interested in Go. In anticipation of the Rayquaza raids I decided now was a good time to evolve my two Ralts into Gardevoirs (took a long time of chasing after every Ralts that appeared for two months and walking over 100 miles with one of them to get more Ralts candies). I am proud to say that I am now the proud trainer of two Gardevoirs-who both don’t have Dazzling Gleam despite using three charged TMs and the likelihood of that happening is (1/18). https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a3bc32ab627d1515af61e65f2abcfb0e6e03b0c86fc28f9db489d27c0a381417.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/044dcf53e4806d81da4f422848758b01d8e4a1bd27894ab680726c7668613c1e.png
How on earth did you get so many candy?! I’m struggling just to get Dustox and Sealeo
170 KM – 34 Ralts Candy
*I pinap berries every Ralts that I found.
Lucky I’m in a rut with items
4 pinaps left, and only 8 normal Pokeballs left
That and a lot of effort. I don’t know why the drop rate of Pinap berries is so high where I am. I have 59 of them.
That’s amazing! I don’t even have kirlia!

Pokémon Advanced Battle opening for English
None. I watch no Japanese anime (or anything that is discontinued from TV)
But Pokemon is a Japanese anime
Oh… If it’s made in America then I guess Family Guy or SU if they count
Did you just fucking ask if Family Guy is an anime
Yes… yes I did
It’s animated so I assumed it’s a good question (same could go for Simpson’s, Futurama, America Dad and those shows)
Cartoon =/= Anime
I looked up what anime definition is
Apparently anime is only Japanese according to a quick Google Search https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1805daed3fbdfa13197d511fe01de8b9f54bb4e2a85dc2904e948f60a7ef5b3e.png
Technically making dubs of Japanese the only English anime’s (I admit I’m wrong I just discovered this fact I felt like sharing)
Anime doesn’t have a set definition because no one cares enough to make one.
No.
They aren’t anime.
And I’m the one who will argue that Avatar counts as an anime.
Family Guy isn’t even close to anime wtf
I mean it’s more trash than most anime
Not japanese so not anime
https://media.giphy.com/media/7MBoS2kez5I8o/giphy.gif
I am unknowledgeable on this topic
Hell I still count anything animated I watch (Excluding movies) just a cartoon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime
In that case I got 4 anime’s I watch (all dubbed though)
I know I’m wrong but
Best Japanese: Kyousogiga OP
Best western: Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego OP
Carmen Sandiego is top tier anime for me

Do you mean English cartoon opening, or English translation of an anime opening?

Obviously

The only anime I’ve really watched
But….
both…
are japanese….
Well, you tell us what English anime opening means
Yes.
He said English LANGUAGE anime OP
The Pokemon one is performed in English

I thought you meant series that looked like anime -_-

Yes. Govnah won. Go home everyone else you’re all wrong btfo
You are absolutely right
We all have been blind
Anime refers to the style, not to the place the media comes from
Fight me rn
EXACTLY
Eh, that’s kinda true tbh, like the term anime is kinda ambiguous sometimes
I won’t fight because I am not knowledgeable enough to give a valid opinion on the topic
All I’ll say is if its the style then I only watch 4 anime’s being Pokémon dub, Digimon dub, Yo-Kai Watch dub and Kirby Right Back at ya dub
Child
How are you so sheltered
I don’t like the Japanese language and subtitles distract me
I also don’t watch things that aren’t on YouTube really and there its mostly lower gaming channels
https://media.giphy.com/media/hCCculPAUw4Uw/giphy.gif
I like Japanese culture. Just the language… it’s so confusing
I will admit I watch the episodes when Goodra left Ash in Japanese though, but after that I stayed away from it
Anime may have initially been attributed to materials produced in Japan-but that was because those animated shows predominately used that style to the point that it has become an industry in Japan. With streaming services available now Anime has become more of an international industry. There is now anime that has originated from China, South Korea, and shows that haven’t exclusively originated from one country. For instance, Devilman Crybaby which is available on Netflix right now.
Wat happened to our mono tournament?
Pretty much everything is settled for it so there isn’t going to be much of a buzz until after the teambuilding deadline
Can I build my team on discord…..or should I do that on the showdown link?
Showdown.
I should download that again then………..I didn’t play something like this before if there’s any important details just tell me ……I want to win
Space Pirates

Okay, but Avatar still isn’t an anime, right?
Anime style animation.
If anime is a style of animation
Then it is
> Anime style animation
> Anime narrative inspiration
> Very Asian inspired in terms of character and world design: Asia is the birthplace of anime and where the majority of anime are created
Pretty freaking anime if you ask me.
For those who loved the last starter fakes you should see how cool this is
https://www.instagram.com/p/Be-6Cv9Biln/
I will forever be sad that this was fake. That’s a great looking model though.
This model is so damn adorable it makes me wish at least this one was real
It hasn’t been confirmed fake? has it?
OMAN THAT’S CUTE
: D
New crystal team update. I had to time travel to get phanpy because I overslept….. didn’t realize it stopped appearing around 10 AM. Anyway will play more a little bit later since I am not feeling the greatest today. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f685e5c1041183ba5bdce05980e9ea7844c830babda6341abcf7ed1e5469e404.jpg
Great name for Phanphy, TFS Gaming, right?
Tarzan actually which is probably where they got it from I would assume
Another possible leak from 4chan. Probably fake but you never know. Can someone translate?https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fed5ac0144b46568ec1b8e654f6f6f4e2d33bc07b2548d24ca103a79d96c885a.jpg
Demn leakers making all these QTs that are probably fake ;-;
Stil fun to discuss I suppose. Personally I love the grass starter. Not sure why
I think even Nicki Minaj’s butt is more genuine.
Well then lol that’s a nice way of putting it 😂 only shared for discussions in all honesty. That said I love the grass starter lol
Fake, bur cute
Apparently a translator confirmed they are fake because the Japanese has a non existent character in it. That said I love the grass one even though I have no clue what it’s based on
God it’s a shame that all these leaks get ruined because of the japanese really, like if they had one person who was actually japanese speaker these leaks would live much longer
It sucks that “leaks” like this aren’t real all too often, I really love all the work that people put into them.
Yeah it sucks. People are getting better at the fakes that’s for sure. Even thought they are fake it gives us something to discuss in slow news times
Probably fake, but adorable <3
I love all of them, especially the Water starter
I love the grass most personally but overall love all three. Trying to figure out what grass and water are based on lol
I’m thinking the Grass one is based off a sugar glider
I can actually see that now that you mention. Explains why I took a liking to it lol
I wish these were real, I actually love all three of them. I’m starting to think that’s the true sign of a fake leak…
For sure fake
Oh I know just thought it was worth a share for discussion with the news drought going on.
These don’t even look good
The goat is alright, water and Grass are cute
I’d rank them
Fire
Water
Grass
Ok guys listen there is never going to be another fake concept art leak. It’s the new fake Coro Coro scan
Doesn’t mean we can’t dream
What they said^
I would love to know how those actually leaked, it was clearly a fatal oversight at some level. I doubt Game Freak will never actually acknowledge this fact though.
Pretty much
Doubt GF will commit the same mistake twice
Eh never say never but never say always either
Essentially, I do like CoroCoro more though
Just made some chicken noodle soup and going to finally watch Antman(last marvel movie I need to watch before black panther)
I’m seeing Black Panther Thursday, trying to ignore hype etc that’s everywhere at the moment to avoid disappointment.
Probably a good idea. I will go see it as soon as I can hopefully. Doubtful I can get to next week though. I am more excited for avengers honestly
it’s got a perfec score on rotten, Idk if there’s a risk of being disappointed
That makes it worse in terms of expectation for me. Also RT score means the amount of positive reviews, not how high it’s rated, to see that you have to look at individual reviews.
It’s a great movie imo
It’s got humor and a good story and flows well
I enjoyed it. Was a fun movie! I am finally caught up on all the marvel movies!
So what is the state of the anime right now? Are they on track to wrap up by the end of 2018 or will they go longer? I just found that Zygarde Complete was first revealed in the July/August issue of Corocoro in 2015 as a teaser for the next movie. Assuming they don’t have a Gen 8 Pokemon in this movie, history could repeat itself.
The UBs and Necrozma are the current arc and Nanu/Acerola are coming soon so it’s pretty on track for wrapping up 2018 if they want it to.
Also, I believe Perfgarde was either a movie reveal or it was movie and then teased in CoroCoro – either way it wasn’t fully revealed either iiirc
Yeah you’re right, I forgot, it was a short video teaser following the movie in May or June and then screenshots were posted in July. Either way, it was the first Gen 6 information and came out 8 months before its announcement. I think a similar thing could happen this year.
Yeah, if Gen 8 is this late this year or early next we’re defo seeing a movie star at the end of Movie 21. I think the real question is whether it’ll be a mythical or not.
Why does my entire body feel numb…
Pls don’t faint
I did that already last night
Then don’t do it again
I can’t promise that
And I’m all outta items
Stress, your body is awash with so much negativity it’s reeking havoc with your body and mind. Try to lie down and try to breathe calmly or try a warm shower or try to eat something
That’s probably it… I don’t feel too stressed…
Like… I feel semi happy for once… but I don’t feel anything
Weren’t you going Earthen like a couple of hours ago?
Yeah… mellowed down a bit though
Well maybe you’re just dealing with the deadly calm, like i said try to relax and not think about it
And if you feel lightheaded or totally immune to your senses then it’s time to seek professional medical advice
Looks like I might need the advice?
I am the least qualified medical practitioner in the business so I know these things
Shitt
I mean I’ve been there, maybe your body genuinely forgot how it feels to be semi happy or like 90% of everyone it’s totally in your mind and your fine-ish
Hmmmmm
like I said just chill and take it easy and stay level headed
Unnecessary stress could result in inflammation in your goiters, back of knee hair and mysterious light emitting from all orifices
Don’t die on me Seraph!!!

Post your name and I’ll tell you how I’d perceive you in a narrative
Supreme Highlord Von Magnus: Untold
Protag or Antag, depending on the nature of the narrative. Extremely powerful but can be far too quick to utilise it for situations that don’t require it.
Character arc is learning to rely on their power less and their words more.
I really see myself as the antihero or the villain based on situation
But I’m definitely not above being a heroic protagonist…I just break faces a little more than should
But like, real name or
Username
Je suis le Kuppo
Protag, kind of calm on the surface but can be drawn to anger and other passionate emotions when required. Character arc is learning to become more confident.
bitch you know my name
Protag with the strong views and developing the resolve needed to see them come to fruition, but may learn that sometimes compromise is needed as a character arc.
Same
Protagonist: strong powers but they’re hampered by a lack of confidence so they don’t fully manifest. Character arc is recognising themselves as good enough to wield such great power.
Hmm
Carrrot
Enigmatic character that comes and goes as they wish
Kurusu
Deuterologist who usually shows up during lighter moments, needed when the narrative gets a bit too dark. Easily annoyed
Chip
Similar to Monkey in role, but is far more willing to utilise anecdotes and share his past to provide examples to his peers for them to avoid the same mistakes or make the same right choices.
Monkeyfuzz
Mentorly/upperclassman like figure to the main group, stays out of conflict but is always willing to lend a helping hand
Alex
Alec
Josh Omega
Valoroo
Woops
What happened to all the go spawns being exclusively gen 3 mons? I’ve seen hella non gen 3 Pokemon
all I wanna know is if Pokemon in the Hoenn Dex are more common in Kyushu.
Hey has anyone caught Swablu yet in Go? I saw some picture showing candies needed to evolve and it said Swablu needs 400 to become Altaria
It does >-<…. You can get a shiny tho…
Aww that’s just plain dumb for Go
And they barely spawn where I live, just like wailmer
Well I enjoyed Antman! I am finally caught up on all the marvel movies just in time for black panther!
too quiet…somebody say or do something for my amusement
Nidoqueen is cool.
meh i see it as tough
What the fuckk does it matter
welp i learned not to google image Nidoqueen
The Hammer is the mightiest of weapons
Tell me something i don’t know

If you could customise your PokeRide, what would be your versions of:
Tauros Charge (Running fast and breaking obstacles)
Stoutland Search (Running fast and dowsing)
Lapras Paddle (Surfing at a stable speed)
Charizard Glide (Flying)
Mudsdale Gallop (Traversing rough terrain)
Sharpedo Jet (Surfing fast and breaking obstacles)
Machamp Shove (Moving heavy obstacles)
Hmmmmmmmmm
Rhyhorn Charge
Claydol/Beheeyem Search
Floatzel Paddle
Aerodactyl Glide
Mudsdale Gallop stays
Carracosta Jet?
Heracross/Emboar Shove
I don’t think some of these are rideable :p
like i give a flying phuck
PokeRide
Arcanine Rush – runs fast with firey aura trail.
Luxray Search – uses x-ray vision, tail glows brighter when nearer an item.
Lanturn Sail – Lights up more as it gets darker.
Noivern Glide – Sets off with a Sonic Boom, windshield recommended. Or Drampa because Falkor.
Sawsbuck Rover – you can choose the season if seasons aren’t present still, steer with the horns.
Floatzel Jet – spins tails faster and has watery aura when pressing B, you hang on to handles on its’ back for dear life.
Snorlax Sumo – You could use Hariyama but I prefer Snorlax, pushes rocks with its’ belly, pressing B does it faster with arm thrusts.
Samurott Charge
Serperior search
Milotic paddle
Lombre jet
Numel shove
I just had a mere thought….what if humans could teach a pokemon to read?
Okay today we are going to learn the ABCs.
Shows A ho-oh crammed inside a small library
Looks like I spoke too soon earlier. Now I’m surrounded by Swablu lol
They can be shiny so…..
It keeps saying I need to be looged in to post an image, even though I am logged in.
Happens to me all the freakin time AND IT PISSES ME OFF TO NO LIMIT
UGH THAT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME
Fun idea:
– Go to https://randompokemon.com
– Turn off NFEs and Ubers options
– Generate 6 Pokemon
– With this team, all at Level 80, you are fighting Red in HGSS. Do you stand a chance?
No.

Probably not https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8a82c4cb4dcd191845f5c605d024d71c6a7d7c6137b73cfc6a73ea04faf4e449.png

To answer Ozy’s question of the day, I’d choose Togekiss because it along with its pre-evolutions have always been a favorite of mine and plus I think riding one would be the coolest thing ever.
I’m back! And I have a question for ya guys!
If you could tell one thing to yourself one year ago that you now know, what would it be?
The winning lottery numbers🤑
Don’t get your hopes up it won’t happen this year and probably not the next one either
Mine would be don’t get interested in your crush cuz she’ll make ya look like a fool and make ya feel like sh!t
Pokemon wise it would be, don’t get you’r hopes up for Marshy. He is going to get nothing and be forgotten
But Marshadow got a movie (kinda) and is great? Also it might appear in the main anime at some point (I hope).
The movie made it look bad
It already got its 5 seconds of fame in the anime
At least there’s this http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/265/960/43d.gif
rad!
That in a year things will be better and not to worry too much about your ex that you are so much better off without her
I’d tell him about Rainbow Rocket and see if he would lose his shet
You are kidding right? GF only references gen1!!! :O
Well nothing big happened last year lol
Tru
Don’t effing SR for a Celebi it doesn’t work
Your luck is just bad. Maybe some thing like dont spend hours each day toward something you are not sure you want
I always have bad luck
And I keep watching videos of people landing one easily
Also do you even like Celebi? Dosent seem like your type
