Have you access to a Dreepy? If not then Rapidash.
So, I was watching a series of videos where a group of people made redesigns for their 5 worst looking Pokemon of each Gen minus Galar (For reference, the name of the channel is Subjectively). It was certainly interesting to see how they would improve on the designs of certain Mons. So, that along with what I’ve been writing (and plugging in Discord every chance I get) got me thinking. What Pokemon do you think could benefit from a redesign? Be as descriptive or as vague as you want if you’re maybe like me and have a hard time coming up new designs.
ANyone got a Non-English 4-5 iv Ditto? I can give you a bunch of HA Pokemon.
How many characters are allowed for nicknames?
Geez gen 8 is out for not even three weeks and the 4chan trolls have already started fabricating rumours about a SwSH sequel coming next year…
Anyone have a skill link minccino or cinccino?
Toxic not a TM/TR?? What if you’re Pokemon had it in SM/USUM?
If you DMAX, I’m assuming you can’t GMAX, correct?
Yes, only 1 max per battle.
Same as Mega Evolution and Zmoves, one per fight.
NO!
… lil’ Bub passed away yesterday
🙁
I have a 5 star gmax Centiskorch raid in case someone wants it

Why am I unable to join any max raid battles? Am I doing something wrong?
So, between Sword and Shield we have 10 confirmed Gym leaders, which means we only don’t know 8 Gym leaders…. Sequel Hook maybe?
Weight moves will fail against Daynamax Pokemon that make sense.
So, apparently Johnny Yong Bosch is replacing Vic as DBS Broly in FighterZ (And I assume any future appearances of either version). This was shown off in a stream that I somehow had no idea was happening. He’s certainly an interesting choice considering how Broly sounds, but it seems to be working out. Broly releases December 5th, for those who care and I am very excited
Wish we got another character instead of Broly again.
Seismitoad is OU
Good for him, knew he’d be good
Smogon UU is a fucking trip. Fun as hell, absolutely expecting some bans
Where’s the tier listing
Some of the regional dex decisions for S&S are so stupid
Lol let’s cut 400 pokemon, but include 4 water/ground type lines

Another gen of Mimikyu being relentlessly spammed into OU despite not really belonging there
Imagine this: Chairman Rose battle but he wears his teal polka dots shorts
GMAX Coalossal Sweep.

Finally done organizing my boxes by number…now just to fill in the holes. I’d feel more incentivized if shinies appeared in the overworld. A huge loss, really.
i just dedicated several to important stuff
All-Stars
Competitive
Potential Breed
Breeding
Team Builder
Rares & Legends
Unique Pokeballs
Solid. There’s no need for so many boxes in this game really for me so good to dedicate the extras for something like that
Should show up in sprites too
Hmmm just realized that 3 of my party mons have Pokerus. Dont know when it happened but it’s interesting that it’s only my first 3 mons and not my whole team 🤷🏻♂️
What are you gutter roaches up to this icy December evening
As always because my Brother’s GF is hogging the basement i can’t go online for Pokemon so i’m stuck doing breeding offline
Punch them!
