  3. I’m such an idiot lol

    I went through the whole day thinking that there wasn’t a new article until 15 minutes ago realizing that there was a new Weekly Wrap Up

  4. Got a bit further in Omicron, I beat Team Olympus at the museum in Onega Town and I just caught Rotom (nicknamed him Wisp).

    Debating whether or not I should use him or not because having the Rotom form moves and stats early on seems a little overkill. If I did add him, I’d keep him in his fan form though for right now so he isn’t overpowered.

    Here’s the team right now:

  9. What is like the least marketed Pokemon overall? Like, if you had to pick one. Honestly I’d say Venomoth, that thing literally doesn’t exist in Pokemon’s eyes

  10. Siiiigh another monday,
    grocery laundry and gym….with SRing in the morning and afternoon and cleaning the damn kitchen again because whenever there’s work to be done mr. responsible firstborn is always to be called……nrrrrrrrhhh

    But at least this Friday is the final seasons of Dragons: Race to the Edge….which means the inevitable series finale blues….which always hits me hard

    Reply

  11. Debatable question
    Are the mascots actually MEANT to be marketable? Like it’s obvious they’re meant to look amazing but do y’all think they keep this in mind as they make it?

    Reply

    • well before we talk about looks and design we need to tackle a bigger more important question how

      now Eevee’s extremely unstable genetic makeup can shift based on most any type of reaction, now easily its susceptible normal typing makes elemental stimuli extremely plausible

      but something like Bug is difficult due to mammal to insectoid metamorphosis being extremely unheard of

      • Fam its Eevee

          • ORAS “Vaporeon underwent a spontaneous mutation and grew fins and gills that allow it to live underwater. This Pokémon has the ability to freely control water.”

            Probably due to the radiation of the Water Stone and sensing the need for a body that suits aquatic environments but then again the science behind the mechanics of a elocutionary stone are vastly understudied

            radiates an peculiar energy that causes some species to evolve

          • its cells are similar to water… makes sense to me, i mean naturally not in our world but this still makes sense i mean it may not literally melt into water but its body becomes transparent and translucent in a body of water making it appear it melted into water

            and for another thing its not like its turning into a glob of water mainly the invisible stuff

          • Acid Armour and the anime shows it literally dissolves in the water. Don’t deflect by saying ‘Oh, but it might be this instead’. Vaporeon would die if it actually dissolved the currents should separate its body, and any water soluble chemicals in its bodies are gone.

            If it can suddenly grow fish traits, it can suddenly grow insect traits.

          • well the reason why is due to being very in-tune with emotions with the trainer it evolved with needing a strong bond with its trainer, sensing the feelings through its….feelers
            but at the same time its a defense mechanism to discourage hostile prey allowing it to strike so its kinda flip flops

            but then again its the fairy poster boy, the official site claims it was one the first pokemon identified as a fairy

  14. Pokémon that you believe don’t deserve a lot of hate/under appreciation?

    I feel so bad about the Porgyon line. Sure, they were on the banned episode, but that doesn’t mean they should be extremely excluded from being in the anime.

    And another thing was that it wasn’t even Porygon that caused the seizure-inducing explosion. It was the mascot itself Pikachu, and the Porgyon has nothing to do with it. Yet tPCi decides to completely censor this line, which sucks.

  18. Nrrrghh fine

    Lepideon
    Bug
    Insect Pkm
    Swarm HA: Unburden
    a slim canine like pokemon with a bushy light lime coat of fur, a plush collar, and soft dewy eyes with small hooks on its cheecks similar to mandibles. on its ears are long scaled butterfly wings that can beat rapidly to fly, as for its limbs it has small zygodactyl talons (two in front two in back) and lastly its tail has multiple segments that can freely stretch allowing to use the small stinger at the end

    Evolution method: i had an idea clearly stolen by Karrablast and Shelmet (And a little bit of the Fly) that trading with a Bug type will cause the electrical wavelength to crisscross their genetic code and knowing Eevee the traits will bombard Eevee’s cells and mimic it

    Reply

      • THEN WHAT Its not just gonna randomly grow bug parts because reasons
        all the Eevee’s have some reasons

        Stones
        daytime nighttime
        special area
        affection fairy typing

          • at least they have reasons Vaporeon grew gills and fins to suit aquatic life

            Mew not so much because it is a wildcard as the ancestor of all pokemon and does not favor any specific type

            i’m trying to say there should be a reasonable sounding reason behind it just to at least try to make it sound well thought

          • Simple. Eevee’s genes are unstable because it’s not as evolved from Mew as others. Mew does favour a type because it has a type itself, Psychic, and the majority of Pokemon are Water-type meaning that’s another form of preference.

            Eevee’s unstable genetics allowed it to tap into dormant bug expressing genes to allow it to compete with insects. Maybe insects overtook a forest area Eevee lived in. Maybe they were its only available prey.

          • that’s dumb all eeveelutions are based on environmental stimuli,

            i still feel the trade induced evolution is the most plausible because if it would be close to the code it could copy and ping out on it, or something better i just don’t see why or how it would feel the need to compete with other bugs or if it was being overtaken it would either relocate or simply be preyed upon not every creature can adapt to save its butt when a clear and obvious predator moves in

            something external like a bug move or a held item it holds that contains insect DNA SOMETHING PLAUSIBLE other than just happening, because y’all may think Gamefreak does this randomly they don’t most of their ideas make sense in their own way, and before y’all start with cheap shots like slugma, dedenne, alolan raichu and all legends just just to prove me wrong just to make me feel stupid for everything don’t even bother replying because GF does in fact put thought into the majority of pokemon

          • A fox doesn’t become a mermaid because it lives beside water.

            Day and night shouldn’t cause such a big difference between Espeon and Umbreon.

            Sylveon isn’t even environmental based, it’s social based.

            You overestimate GF. It’s a monster series aimed at children. There’s logic, but it’s flexible.

          • -Vaporeon’s dex states that it changed to suit aquatic life
            -well each of them gain significance based on moonbeams or sunlight
            -i’ll give you that one but i’m still chalking it up to fairy type poster boy
            -you all underestimate it, and i’m using their logic, yeah yeah no living rat can shoot lightning (Looking at you Fairy) but in their pokemon biology they really do make use of possible biological functions like pikachu having electric sacs and Incineroar’s Flame belt

          • Moonlight and sunlight are the same thing.

            You can’t use Fairy shilling as an excuse for everyone.

            Their logic is basically non existent. Lightning sacs or flame sacs would never occur irl because anything using it would kill themselves or die or malnutrition.

          • this is Pokemon biology not real world, of course it wouldn’t work but i’m saying that’s the reason how they do it, its better sounding than they just magically produce electricity or fire out of nowhere

            hell even if dragons existed in real world they would definitely have a way of breathing fire naturally due to a series of bio-mechanical functions, its

    • Idea for a better evo method:
      You can leave pokemon with Type specialists (like in the Daycare). They can learn moves (of the specialist’s type) that they couldn’t otherwise. If you leave Eevee with the Bug specialist, it Evolves.

  20. Everyone on Pokejungle gets into a fight using their favourite Pokemon. Who wins? Excluding legends, mythicals, and UBs for obvious reasons.

      • Maybe, but not to the degree I’m seeing now with the rumor about the battle system. Imo I think it’s a little silly to get straight up angry about a rumor that gives us no further details other than it’s not turn based anymore. We have no way of knowing how well the new system would work. People should see it for themselves and try it first before getting so angry. Not being comfortable with the change yet is one thing, but saying that you’ll quit the series because of it is a bit ridiculous. Also I find it silly to think GF shouldn’t be able to change anything big after 22 years. It’s their game and if they want to try something new why not give it a go? Worst case scenario they learn from their mistakes and move on.
