The new season of Pokémon, Pocket Monsters, has begun airing in Japan. The Pokémon Company has made the first episode available on YouTube, likely to spark more interest in the revamped format.
Although many of you probably don’t understand Japanese, you may be able to follow along with the general gist of the episode—or at least enjoy the animation!

Can I get Alolan Variants in this game?
Once Home comes out. You can trade a few Galarian Form Pokemon for their Kanto variants in game tho.
Galarian Mr. Mime is hideous
Me on first glance: Yeah none of the starter evos really have idle animations. That’s disappointing cause Scorb was super like-
Cinderace: *starts kicking a fire ball around in its idle animation*
Rillaboom: *Has naturally fast movements to almost suggest a groove to it*
I love these two so much. Seriously. Like I am 100% dying to use Rillaboom. If anyone’s willing to breed one with leech seed I got a HJK Scorb with your name on it
One hit away, and was defeated by Dynamax Raid Arcanine.
STOP USING MAGIKARP NPC, I HATE YOU!
Fave Galar pokemon now that we’ve all been playing? Any of them surprise you?
I expected my favorite to be a Ghost type, but it ended up being Toxtricity. It’s saved my butt many times, and its Nuzzle is great for catching Pokémon!
I’m also super fond of Falinks, Eiscue, Grimmsnarl, and Centiskorch.
Obstagoon was awesome, I just wish the CPU couldn’t read your inputs otherwise I would have landed a lot more obstructs.
Every time I try to connect to someone else’s raid it says ” Error Code: 2-ALZAA-0034 No Communication Partner was found”.
Following my other question… Is there any Galar Pokemon you can’t stand, or thought you’d love to use but ended up disliking a lot?
Can pokemon found in Max Raid Battles be shiny?
I KNEW IT! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/73b552437c484630627d4fe8fe2996c8d27ca454e05d46a47a6d50ebbfed95c6.jpg
“Its not beautiful!” They said…
“Masculinity cannot be beautiful!” They told me.
Well, look who’s laughing now!!!!
Memorable non story related moments from your playthroughs? Either, Funny, cool, weird or whatever.
I’ll share some of mine:
After beating Nessa I went to the Wild area to look for a Chewtle or Dreadnaw raid so I could try and get it with Swift Swim. Suddenly I stumble upon one for a “Fairy and Dark” one. For a second I was taken out, like “What the f*k is Dark Fairy?” then immediately my jaw dropped because Impidimp was one of the things I wanted the most and had given up on it being only available more than halfway through.
I caught a Sizzlipede on the route outside the Galar Mine No. 1, It put a lot of work and I liked it. Decided to send it away on a Pokejob while I dealt with Nessa. I sent him away for the whole day. After I beat Kabu I suddenly see someoen doing a Gigantamax Centiskorch raid on the stamps and get in, I get it and then I immediately ditched my original Sizzlipede. Poor thing went away for work and then I replaced him with a hoter model when he was away. I got a chuckle out of it.
imma just say. this is probably the freshest and most engaging pokemon experience I had since playing b2w2
What is the point of “favorite” an item? It doesnt seem to do anything other than put a star near it.
Come on weather, dont make me raise budew’s happiness, I really dont want to….
God I wish I could be as persistent as Eric
Who the heck is eric?
Prince Eric searching for Ariel based on a voice?
Eric was a reminder that even in the game world my observation skills are lacking
I think if a raid you try to join times out and disappears but is still listed you should be able to join it with cpu help because I keep getting errors for it and some stuff I actually want.
Lemme preface this game by saying this
I was terrified about how hard this game would fall on its face. My friends and I had decided this would be our last stop in the series if this game sucked and were preparing to exit. So many things about the game just seemed WRONG it couldn’t possibly be good!!!
Welcome to my top 3 Galar
I’ll get the important stuff out of the way so you can just read through my thoughts without wondering when I’ll get to it. If you choose to continue reading these next parts, you’re interested in my thoughts
I rate the game somewhere between an 8 and a 9 out of ten. This is my fifth or fourth favorite mainline Pokemon game. The Unova games, HGSS, and potentially Emerald sit above it right now, but nothing else.
This review is gonna be multi-part since it’ll be hella long. I’m gonna talk on five separate points
-Story (Characters, the story itself, etc)
-Gameplay (Raids, the actual battles, etc)
-Pokemon quality (obvious)
– Aesthetics (Graphics and music, along with the general feel of the region)
– Other (QOL, other things I can’t classify into one of these categories)
I’ll be talking about Pokemon quality first and story last being as its rather spoilery, but yeah
Entered the championship cup again, invited Raihan, hoping he’d give me a good match.
He lost to Marnie and I had to face her in the finals instead!
Ugh, the Dusk Ball seller moved.
Alright you guys helped me with my original team, so I’m gonna ask for your input on these:
Shield playthrough #2:
Rillaboom
Coalossal
Eiscue
G. Rapidash
Falinks
Cursola
Sword:
Inteleon
Obstagoon
Perrserker
Hatterene
Stonjourner
Flapple
With the recent fighting game news, I recently thought of this: If we got another Pokemon fighting game, would you want it to be a 2D fighter or another arena fighter like Pokken? Would you rather it be it’s own thing, or a sequel to Pokken (Not limited to these questions)? Just wanna see your thoughts on a hypothetical situation like this.
IF they made DLC, other than the obvious (return the old mons) what else would you want to see in it for Sword and Shield?
So after venturing into that forest behind my house we used to get baked in, me and that kid that constantly follows me around assuming I’m his friend found a stick and a leaf thinking it was valuable or a relic and decided to go pawn it in Hammerlocke
I’ve decided I’m going to walk there myself and not use my bike or anything and take in how my journey started
See I was really enjoying the Max Raids, the improved competitive preparation mechanics, the epic scale of the league…. but then I saw that if I went up a ladder in one route some NPCs froze temporarily while going up, which didn’t affect anything at all but completely ruined the game for me. 0/10
/s
You know those Favorite Pokemon Templates by type and Gen? Well I took it a step further! Removed Mega’s as they don’t exist no more and added a Gen.8 line

Go nuts guys
It’s a bit soon for me but I’ll save it.
My night class got cancelled today so I will do some raids after getting out of work in 5 hours. Currently I have a 5 Star Mr Rime and 5Star G-Dreadnaw available.
THis is my FC

I’ve added you. I can try to help on both.
