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!

I just beat the Champion battle! I had to try twice because I screwed up my strategy the first time. Thankfully Skuntank’s Explosion was there to save the day as always.
Now that the story is over, it’s time to get to work! Does anybody have a Scorbunny they’d be willing to trade? I can provide a Grookey or Sobble if need be. I’m also currently looking for Farfetch’d, Darumaka and Stonjourner from any Sword player out there. I can trade any equivalent Shield exclusive!
I can trade you a Farfecth’d! Would love a Galarian Ponyta in return. <3
Hey hey! It’s moi! I got a bunny with HJK!
I bred a bunch of buns but they have nothing special.
There is a raging storm outside right now, might take a bit longer to get home for the raids.
So is Allister/Bea mentioned at all in the opposite games? I havent seen any mention of Bea but maybe someone else has.
I never knew this woman existed

I don’t know why they decided to lock the Day night cycle outside the Wild Area until Main campaign completion. I understand some sequences start with you going to sleep for the day so it would be weird for them to happen in the middle of the day, but I feel like they could’ve only changed the time of day for those specific moments with a text box indicating passage of time. Some of the towns look beautiful during the night, but you won’t see that until beating the game in some instances. They should patch that out.
Maybe it was to prevent another XY moment, where you are woken up by a bird in the middle of the night if you start your game late in the day but they might have gone a bit overzealous.
If you could be from anywhere in Galar, where would you choose?
Either Chrichster or Wyndon.
Circhester for sure, looks cozy there and a certain gym leader is there.
If I build an Ice type team, is it….
1. Inteleon, Beartic, Mr. Rime, Darmanitan, Eiscue, Frosmoth
2. Inteleon, Beartic, Darmanitan, Eiscue, Frosmoth, Mamoswine
One of these pokemon is not like the others.
Lapras!
If I found the Gigantama version yeah
You know what I find strange?
As far as I know of, there’s no way to give someone a pokemon as a gift or something. I mean, I know its essentially the same thing as trading for a jank pokemon, but it’d be nice to skip that step if we so desire.
Fun fact about Oleana (spoilers obviously)
I’ve seen people theorise that it’s to represent a toxic/ugly inside and a beautiful outside, but it’s more to do with her history than her personality.
Ok I need some help!
My previous best team of all time had a member that I would call a pivot; Mienshao. Its fast, strong, has knock off, u-turn + regenerator, fake out to break sash, and an amazingly powerful life orb boosted high jump kicks to pick off damaged pokemon.
She was snapped.
Anyone know of a pokemon that is similar in speed/power that also has access to knock off and u-turn/volt switch? Mienshao was crucial and I’d like a worthy successor!
Is it my imagination or do eggs hatch in a fraction of the time now?
Exeledus’ question has got me thinking. What was your dream team before Gen 8, and after Dexit what is your new dream team (limited to the 435 Pokemon left)?
Oh my goodness… if dynamaxing makes a return in gen iv remakes…

Lucario

Bastiodon

Luxray
all gigantamax! That be awesome!

Leon: *exists*
Hop: hey you suck at directions did you know my brother Leon, AKA Lee, the champion of the galar region who owns a Charizard and is unbeatable is pants with directions I’m surprised he didn’t get lost walking to the bathroom
Did you also know he taught me everything I know about Type Advantage?
“I hope Leon who is bad at directions doesnt get lost on the way from the train station to his house!”
Me: “its literally just walk straight, you can see the house from the damn station! Is he stupid or something?”
Also he left charizard in the swarm of fans lol

I’m thinking dreepy for final member. Any other suggestions?
I’m very much enjoying this playthrough! Loving the story so and loving the new Pokémon I’ve seen so far! All that said I actually bought Pokémon sword yesterday! Will start it a week or so after I finish shield I think. May do a poll to decide whether I choose Grookey or Scorbunny.
Nooooo! Dreepy, your mother says you need to pull you weight like she did!
Where can I find the Ribbon Sweet?
Sadly i’m deciding to wait until tomorrow night to finish the game….
and this has nothing to do with the fact i’m scared of finishing the game because once that’s over my life will revert to a meaningless grind….nope definitely not the reason
That’s adult life man. But you’ll always have family and friends who love and care about you.
Anyone ready for some raids? 5 star Gmax-dreadnaw. Anyone interested reply here. When we have 4 people ready I’ll send the code.
Yep, wanted to evolve Nuzleaf but can’t get the stone so I guess she’ll do as is.
I was this many years old when I learned Frosmoth has hands
I thought they were mouth feelers like snom had. Guess they are hands.

Aww they’re so cute!
I learnt only recently that Clobbopus have a mouth hole underneath their tentacles
How do you feel about Grappleoct’s mouth
Hey, wanna join a 5 star Gmax Dreadnaw raid?
This is by far my favorite song from the game, even though it’s only 10 minutes into the adventure.

Now this is the track that really gets your blood racing

Oh yeah I remember reading that after my raid it would be shocking but they seemed to tone down the dex entries this time around.
So galarian maranie haven’t found out that Corsola taste good yet according to the dex
Need 1 more person for a 5 star Gmax Dreadnaw raid.
