  1. Alright, big story update. I’ve decided to let people just go wild with teams. Any three Pokemon you want, as long as they’re not legendary, UB, or mythical. Also, no more than one ‘starter Pokemon’ (the official game starters) although you don’t need one. In fact, I’d prefer if people avoided them.

    I’m still very much wanting to avoid type overlap, too much region representation, and species overlap, but I’ll do that by editing submitted teams (with the help of the submitter, of course)

  4. I think I’ve figured out why I’ve struggled so much with joining raids and doing surprise trades. I believe my internet is just so slow that these functions barely work (trades) or don’t work at all (joining raids). I have no problems with either when I’m at my friend’s house, so that’s frustrating.

  6. Comic Book PSA: Since this is my first real comic book that I, along with others, have dedicated a bunch of time to, it will change in terms of style as I hone more of my drawing skills. I hope to, eventually, go digital, or at least partially (touch ups and what not). Again, thanks for the support!

  7. How can you tell if a ‘mon will have 5 IVs before the raid starts? Is it the pink light with clouds and gold background when you select it or something else?

  8. So where is this part with a Legendary battle with no sound? I just fought Zamazenta and there is clearly music in the background, AWOOOO.

    • That person had been hacking and somehow damaged their game as a result. It’s the same reason there was footage of a Dynamax Cinderace taking no damage from a Quick Attack and then immediately fainting anyway.
      That said, I may be misreading your tone, but I sort of get the impression that you’re not asking this as a genuine question. Are you playfully teasing the people who believed this, or are you trying to make a point?

  9. To add to earthens question what are some of your favorite gen 8 pokemon? You can include the entire line if you want.
    Sobble line- I won’t lie when I first saw Intelleon I was kind of upset but it really grew on me. It just has so much character. Especially love how it shoots attacks out of its hands.

    Impidimp line- the Pokémon I knew I had to have oh my team. First time I’ve ever instantly loved a fairy type and I’m so happy with its evolutions.

    Rookidee line- rookidee has to be the most adorable regional bird yet. Caught one for my team and didn’t plan to keep it. Ended up getting attached to it and keeping it. Corvisquire is pretty cool and corviknight is just freaking awesome. Now my favorite regional bird

    Dreepy line- I just absolutely love this line. Find it adorable for some reason. Love how dragapult literally shoots dreepy at the opponent.

    • Toxtricity. Specifically Amped but I like Low Key too.
      Rookidee – line, so gld Corviknight got some good pre-evos. Dynamax Rookidee sounds funny.
      Grimmsnarl – Like a combination of Devilman and Erens’ Attack Titan.
      The Grook
      Other stuff I’m too tired to think of.
