Pokemon

[golden lance]

The fact that pkhex is a better method to keep your mons safe than home kinda says something

[crimson moat]

I mean they gave you multiple in BW2 for certain stuff

[vagrant steppe]

I've got a backup of everything on pkhex, yeah

[golden lance]

Good

[crimson moat]

Beat all of Black Tower?
Shiny Gible

[vagrant steppe]

But like... I shouldn't have to pay a yearly ransom to keep pokemon I've had since gen 3 around

[crimson moat]

Or a yearly fee for Pokémon that still cannot get on a switch game

[vagrant steppe]

Two of my favorites weren't in the swsh dex

[crimson moat]

My favorite gen 7 Pokémon still can’t get into a switch game

Thankfully, I never got a 3DS

[vagrant steppe]

They're both in the Paldea Dex, but if your favorite is something like Banette (there are 0 games on the switch you can put Banette in), tough shit

[warm sky]

I will eventually put a backup of everyone on pkhex myself.

I only got my emulated mons so far saved there

[crimson moat]

Imagine being able to finally transfer spinda only to discover bdsp broke

[golden lance]

Or nincada

[vagrant steppe]

So my options are transfer everything and hope that they update SV to have every Mon (they won't)

Or pay $20 a year so gamefreak doesn't delete my pokemon

[golden lance]

Pretty sure i still have my in game bred adv ou team backed up

[vagrant steppe]

Also, if I don't decide to do the 2nd by 2023, I can literally never do it

[golden lance]

Wish i could use it again tho, not much ppl to play with

[vagrant steppe]

Can you even put eternal flower floette in home?

[crimson moat]

Oh yeah forgot about that

[golden lance]

Eternal flower floette isn't even obtainable in any game

[vagrant steppe]

I've got a hacked "legit" one

[golden lance]

But yes

You can

[crimson moat]

Yeah that would be really, really dumb if they don’t get all pokes into a switch game each before bank shuts down

[vagrant steppe]

It's got the coded event's move pool and stuff

[vagrant steppe]

They won't. We know about 2/3rds of the roster aren't available in SV

[golden lance]

Ngl

[crimson moat]

Yuuuuuuup

[vagrant steppe]

And half of those weren't available in SwSh either

[crimson moat]

30 Pokémon still missing from entering any switch game

[golden lance]

It's always strange how some event code is never used

Remember the gen 5 time capsule?

[vagrant steppe]

There's a lot of unused event code

[crimson moat]

Remember gen 8 exp share code?

[vagrant steppe]

Yup. Sucks to be a Banette or Furret fan

[outer eagle]

that one Simi fan

[crimson moat]

Where all they did was turn on exp share item and prevent the user from getting the item

But that’s ok you can unlock the volume settings

[vagrant steppe]

Oh yeah none of the simis can be in any gen 8 or 9 game

[outer eagle]

oh yeah wasn't the volume setting snuck behind an NPC dialogue option in SwSh

[vagrant steppe]

By talking to a random npc with no indication that he does that

[golden lance]

I unironically like the monkeys

[vagrant steppe]

Yup

[warm sky]

Update btw for all mons that won't be in any switch game

||- Serperior

• Emboar
• Watchog
• Elemental monkeys
• Zebstrika
• Leavanny
• Swanna
• Furfrou
• Hoopa
• Toucannon
• Minior||

Also the ||non-hisuian starter||

[vagrant steppe]

||Samurott|| too technically, since it's only the Hisuain form

[crimson moat]

Yup, and fuckin ||Minior|| is my favorite gen 7

[outer eagle]

From the producers of "Easy mode after you've already beaten the game" comes "sound settings that you have to go out of your way to obtain"

[vagrant steppe]

Furfrou was one of my favorites from gen 6, guess he's dead now

[warm sky]

Also am monke fan

[outer eagle]

Pour > Sage > Sear for me

[vagrant steppe]

Also weren't they big on "every Pokemon is someone's favorite" for a few gens?

[outer eagle]

even then i'm mid towards Pour

[vagrant steppe]

Weird that they completely ignored that now

[golden lance]

Sage>Pour>Sear imo

[crimson moat]

Yeah BW2 does a buncha stuff well and the difficulty settings unlock requirement was not one of them

[warm sky]

Sear > pour > sage tbh

[vagrant steppe]

"Every Pokemon is someone's favorite, but fuck you if it's not one of ours"

[outer eagle]

thankfully ever since Universal Pokemon Randomizer became a thing i always enable Challenge Mode b4 hand in its configurations

[warm sky]

"Every Pokemon is someone's favorite, but fuck you if it's not one of ours" charizard"

[outer eagle]

every Pokemon is equal
Some are just more equal than others

[vagrant steppe]

Hell, even if every Pokemon was available between all the switch games, there's no way to fully play various old teams between them

[golden lance]

Fuck i was gonna make that joke

[warm sky]

Also reminder tpc genuinely thought the ugly deer was gonna be super popular

[vagrant steppe]

Like if you've got an Xy team you wanted to play, chesnaught can't go to SwSh and Blastoise can't go to SV

[warm sky]

And they have so much unsold merch

[outer eagle]

I'm just sitting here expecting Terastalizing to get banned from Smogon after a month tbh

[vagrant steppe]

And if that team had a furfrou: neither game

[golden lance]

Which one?

[vagrant steppe]

100%. It's too many options. And lmao 3x stab

[warm sky]

The one that works out in the library

[golden lance]

Ah

Calyrex

[warm sky]

Genuinely an awful design

[vagrant steppe]

It literally looks like they half finished it

[golden lance]

I was thinking of either sawsbuck or stantler

[vagrant steppe]

Like they designed the head and went "good enough"

[golden lance]

[outer eagle]

hey Calyrex is really popular in VGC tbf (by holding people at gunpoint to use it)

[warm sky]

Those are good designs tho

[vagrant steppe]

Calyrex is popular because if you don't use it, your team loses

[warm sky]

Also gen 8 has imho the middest pokémon designs

And created straight up

6 of my bottom 10 mons

[outer eagle]

Frosmoth is so beyond underwhelming despite its initial hype as "Volcarona's successor"

[vagrant steppe]

It honestly needed to be a fast attacker

Who the fuck thought a bug ice type could be a slow tank

[golden lance]

Ngl, lando t did the same and people (including me) like it for that

[warm sky]

Fast ice types cannot be allowed

Only tanks

[golden lance]

Avalugg gaming

[sharp kernel]

what a funny way to say gen 7

[warm sky]

(except in gen 4 with lass and vile)

[golden lance]

With bad movepools

Can't forget that

[warm sky]

7 has the legendaries and some of the coolest bugs

Also I love the UBs

[sharp kernel]

ultra beasts and tapus are the worst imho

[outer eagle]

hoping for new OU viable Bug types in SV 🙏

[vagrant steppe]

The UBs are cool

[golden lance]

I like the tapus

[sharp kernel]

but i'm biased because of how lame they made the meta game'

[warm sky]

Gen 8 doesn't even have good legendaries

[vagrant steppe]

They're weird extradimensional Pokemon

[warm sky]

The dogs are so fucking lame

Calyrex is ugly

[golden lance]

It has eternatus

And that's it

[outer eagle]

Pretty sure the Tapus had the most influence on how lame gen 7 metagame was

[sharp kernel]

calyrex is cute af

[warm sky]

Necrozma at home

[golden lance]

Fair

[sharp kernel]

calyrex looks like a big head dog

[golden lance]

Btw

Calyrex was meant to also ressemble a rabbit

[warm sky]

I would punt Calyrex irl

[vagrant steppe]

I'm still mad eternatus isn't Zamayellow

[outer eagle]

But instead it resembles a gremlin

A sassy gremlin but nonetheless

[vagrant steppe]

You can't do half the theme and not do the other half

[golden lance]

I would 100% make calyrex roadkill jerky

[vagrant steppe]

Where's our yellow and key dogs

[golden lance]

||The key dog is goofy||

[warm sky]

Gen 9 for how ehhh I am on it at the least has the mega man battle network mons

Who aren't pokémon but still really good designs

[sharp kernel]

but anyways, here's every design better than every gen 7 design in gen 8

1. Appletun

[golden lance]

Ngl still find it weird that mmbn mons are not related to the gallade line at all

[sharp kernel]

2. Grapploct

[golden lance]

You could've at least said flapple, man

[sharp kernel]

3. Centiskorch

4. All the fossils

[golden lance]

Gen 8 was like

[sharp kernel]

5. Mr. Rime

[golden lance]

The first gen where i liked none of the starters

[vagrant steppe]

Not a water type tho

He literally lives in the ocean

[outer eagle]

Lugia syndrome

[sharp kernel]

tbf, that's a good thing, we don't need more broken water pokemon

[outer eagle]

[sharp kernel]

stop making water pokemon

[outer eagle]

blame hoenn for that

[golden lance]

Implying grapp is broken

[vagrant steppe]

I mean, we literally got a water/fighting bear the same gen and 3 other broken water mons

[warm sky]

I honestly like "looks like it be one type but isn't"

[vagrant steppe]

Making the mediocre pure fighting octopus water wouldn't have done anything

[warm sky]

Look at the flounder dude

Stunfisk

[golden lance]

You know what bugs me?

[warm sky]

Also nah, none of those are as cool as Buzzwole

[golden lance]

Lumiose city is bigger than any galar city

[warm sky]

https://tenor.com/view/buzzwole-poses-gif-7645556

[sharp kernel]

They should make it canon that Cramorant evolves into Lugia

[vagrant steppe]

Lumoise actually has content too

[golden lance]

Truuue

[vagrant steppe]

Pokemon London is a road, battle tower, and stadium

London is like the 3rd biggest city in the world

[outer eagle]

You know what Lumiose needs? A fucking area-exclusive Map.

[golden lance]

Imagine not know the map layout from the top of the head smh

[sharp kernel]

37th actually

[golden lance]

Even if you don't, the taxis are uber cheap

[vagrant steppe]

Yeah I realized I misremembered

But it's still larger than Paris

[sharp kernel]

Nope, paris is 28th

[golden lance]

Wait i just noticed

"Uber" cheap

lol

Society if motorstoke was this

[sharp kernel]

they need to make a brazil pokemon

[vagrant steppe]

Honestly I want bigger cities in Pokemon games with actual content

But that won't happen

[sharp kernel]

Sao Paolo is the 4th largest city in the world

[golden lance]

Sorry, can't acknowledge 3rd world countries

[sharp kernel]

They will once they get past all the colonizers

[vagrant steppe]

New york city is also top 10 and it's at least sorta big enough

[sharp kernel]

NYC is 11th sadly

[vagrant steppe]

Is it? It used to be 10 for a long time

[golden lance]

Wasn't nyc castelia?

[vagrant steppe]

Yeah, NYC is castelia

[sharp kernel]

India, Japan and China all have 2 cities each in the top 10

[vagrant steppe]

Gotcha

[golden lance]

Pokemon shibuya when

[sharp kernel]

that was arceus

[vagrant steppe]

Tbf, they could have made the whole region just NYC if they wanted to reflect the city

[golden lance]

Arceus was hokkaido, no?

[vagrant steppe]

Would be cool to get an entirely urban region

Wait what city is Tokyo in the games?

Because Tokyo is the biggest city, no?

[golden lance]

None irrc

[sleek sky]

Classically, yes

Although I've seen some figures that give it to NYC

[sharp kernel]

idk why we're getting spain with this one, who actually likes spain besides actual Spanish people

[golden lance]

Closest geographically was like, kanto?

[sharp kernel]

Hispanic people don't rock with Spain

[outer eagle]

Kyoto is Johto right

[vagrant steppe]

Greece would have been way cooler than Spain

[sharp kernel]

Yeah Greece would have been cool, who doesn't like Greece

they got the coolest mythology

good food

[golden lance]

Kansai

So yea

Kyoto's in it

Pretty sure goldenrod was osaka, too

While ecruteak was kyoto itself

[warm sky]

I mean do you want a modern game messing up your country?

Half of Alola was Johto/Kanto-lite

Galar was basically "no Welsh, Scottish or Irish allowed"

[outer eagle]

hey, Gloria is an angry Scottish

[golden lance]

I do, actually, foreigners only have 2 visions of the country, one is football, samba, and carnival, the other is "if you walk 5 centimeters outside of the tourist area you'll get mugged at gunpoint"

[warm sky]

Only in fanart

[golden lance]

Altho

[warm sky]

Reminder that Masters Gloria is just English

[golden lance]

Preety sure that if a brazilian region were to occur, they would at max only represent the southeast, sadly

[warm sky]

Don't forget the "wow your president is burning the amazon forest"

[golden lance]

Also that, yes

[warm sky]

I have a Brazilian friend who is very vocal of his hate of Bolsonaro

[vagrant steppe]

I'm holding out hope that Ireland is because they're gonna put out a secret good Pokemon game that takes place in Ireland

[golden lance]

Btw, current presidential elections are bolsonaro and "guy who literally got arrested for several instances of corruption"

So yea

It's fun

[warm sky]

At the least they can't put a nazi team in a German region, Team Flare already exists

[vagrant steppe]

Yami you forget, we don't have villain teams anymore

[warm sky]

no no no we do, but they're last second twists

well """twists"""

[mighty storm]

wait, ||swanna|| is in a switch game though

[warm sky]

hey I opy pasted from centro leaks

[vagrant steppe]

It's always "group of thugs that turn out to be not that bad" with the twist of "Creepy group of people in the same outfit are the real villains"

[warm sky]

don't blame me

[outer eagle]

So the German villain team is just going to be edgy misunderstood teenagers doing nazi salutes?

[warm sky]

They boss uses Registeel

[mighty storm]

counts

[warm sky]

spinoff doesn't count

also spoiler image that

[vagrant steppe]

Nah, it'll be vtubers or something and then they'll have Hitler be the real villain

New snap absolutely doesn't count

[obsidian juniper]

Like in persona?

[warm sky]

Like in persona

[vagrant steppe]

You can't transfer or use your mons in new snap and vice versa

[warm sky]

so he will have sunglasses

[vagrant steppe]

Wait Lysander is immortal now

He can just show back up for Germany

[warm sky]

In one timeline

[outer eagle]

well it depends

[warm sky]

The other he just died

[outer eagle]

in the other he died yeah

[vagrant steppe]

They'll just canonize X

[mighty storm]

I hope tomorrow we get the real trailer

[warm sky]

In one he's immortal and permanently trapped

so fate worse than death

[vagrant steppe]

Tbf that's arguably way worse than just dying

[warm sky]

Yeah if I had a choice of

forever trapped

or dead

I'd pick dead

end my suffering

[obsidian juniper]

Tfw you get GERed

[outer eagle]

hey at least he isn't at the bottom of the ocean

[vagrant steppe]

I guess theoretically since he's immortal he can eat all the dirt until he gets out

It won't kill him

[outer eagle]

it depends on if he's immortal in the way that his body regenerates

[warm sky]

I think the problem is that he's trapped inbetween rubble, depending on the position he's at

he might be unable to move

[vagrant steppe]

Oh true

Depends on how the ultimate weapon caved in

[warm sky]

Genuinely speaking

stuck like that

is the worst way to die

so being alive through it all

is even worse

Also can we talk about how Lysandre's plan would've only left rich white people alive

and he thought he was the good guy???

[outer eagle]

drowning is usually described as one of the worst ways to die

[vagrant steppe]

Diantha thought he was too

Also, arguably Lysander won out in the end

[outer eagle]

"oh he's just an eccentric man"

[vagrant steppe]

Since he changed his plan to be "imma kill all the rich people who bought into the weapon"

Which I know isn't his real plan, and he was just kinda scrambling since he was about to die

[warm sky]

At the least Cyrus was egalitarian in his kill the people to create a new world thing

[vagrant steppe]

But he succeeded with at least one variant of his plan, which is more than most villains in the series had

Yeah, Lysander is literally a Nazi. It's kinda wild

[warm sky]

hell the fashion thing is just

a pun

[outer eagle]

he's just confused all around. On one hand he was willing to let the MC decide the whole world's fate. Then when the MC actually succeeded but his henchman disagreed he just went "meh whatever i guess."

[warm sky]

that kill la kill also used

about facism

[silver vigil]

At least SV has good box legends

🙏

[outer eagle]

Then when we fairly beat him and attempted to disable the weapon he just went "fuck it you're going down."

[vagrant steppe]

Lysander was actually kinda the last interesting pokemon villain tbh

[golden lance]

Tfw 1 month until the new games and we don't even know the starter's middle stage

[vagrant steppe]

Lusamine is interesting in SuMo, but UsUm completely butcher and retcon it

[warm sky]

Lusamine was so close to good

USUM just

why

[vagrant steppe]

And the whole twist with Aether was fun

Until they did it for the next 2 generations also

[warm sky]

at the least gen 7 gave us

[golden lance]

At least USUM had the post game event with her meeting her husband ig

[warm sky]

destruction in human form

[vagrant steppe]

Because I'm sure they're gonna pull the twist again in SV

[warm sky]

If you genuinely want to know

[vagrant steppe]

Looking at the villain team, there's no way they don't

[warm sky]

this has already been leaked

||the real villains are the professors||

[vagrant steppe]

Ahhh yep, that was incredibly obvious

[outer eagle]

the real villains are the friends we made along the way

[warm sky]

The plot is fucking insane btw if the leak is true

[placid junco]

Idk why people want to spoil themselves on the story

[vagrant steppe]

Oh is there actually a plot this time?

[placid junco]

Like sure it’s Pokémon but like

[golden lance]

||It looks like the average pokemon fan game plot imo||

||and not in a good way||

[vagrant steppe]

So pokemon resurgence or whatever

Cool cool

[warm sky]

Yes and it's fucking wild. In a fan game bullshit way

||So basically, you know the male rival? So basically his parents are dead and replaced by a doppelganger from an alternate universe, which are the professors. Who want to fuse their dimensions together or some shit||

[vagrant steppe]

What the fuck

[golden lance]

Yep

[vagrant steppe]

This sounds stupid as hell

[placid junco]

like actually I really fail to see the appeal of potentially spoiling yourself on the game

[warm sky]

see I don't care for gen 9 regardless

I just want to see all the wild bullshit

[outer eagle]

The problem with some villains has never been that their goals aren't grandiose enough. It's that their justifications are usually moronic.

[vagrant steppe]

If this is played up like super camp in game it could be fun

[golden lance]

Genuinely better than the almost radio silence that tpic has been giving us

[warm sky]

Tbh though yeah... fan game plots are just so bad ☠️

I genuinely never saw a fangame whose plot I liked

[placid junco]

Disagree but okay

I like the more minimalistic release cycle

[outer eagle]

I mean. The surface level of the plot can work, if they play with the emotional beats enough.

[vagrant steppe]

I would like to at least have seen the middle stage of the starters now

[golden lance]

^

[warm sky]

"oh what if you played as a team rocket grunt"

"Also red is actually a genetic freak made by an evil oak and you become team rocket's leader and have to fight Red in order to prevent oak from taking over the region"

[sharp kernel]

How the hell have we not seen any starter evolutions

[vagrant steppe]

Wait is that the plot of the rocket game?

[warm sky]

Yes

[sharp kernel]

also, nothing can be worse than grookey's middle evolution

[placid junco]

That yeah kinda surprises me

[warm sky]

"also Oak kills Agatha, and there's blood. Because he's mad she divorced him"

[sharp kernel]

it's a literal green rectangle

with eyes

[placid junco]

Like as much as I like them not showing their hand too much

Showing the starter evolution should have happened months ago

[warm sky]

Also they try to make all the theories canon

[outer eagle]

Oak being acquainted with Agatha is canon

[warm sky]

Red killed Blue's Ratticate

[golden lance]

It's the duolingo owl with arms

[mighty storm]

https://savethefrogs.com/wp-content/uploads/Natterjack-Toad-Bufo-calamita-Alfredo-S.-Tójar-lo-res.jpg

ok what if

[golden lance]

Acquainted, not divorced lmao

[vagrant steppe]

Didn't lets go canonize the Raticate thing?

[placid junco]

I am still trying to leave myself as unspoiled as possible for SV release

[vagrant steppe]

Iirc it's actually canon now

[warm sky]

No?

[outer eagle]

it depends on if you take Adventures into the mix

[vagrant steppe]

It's mentioned somewhere

[warm sky]

Also get this

[golden lance]

An interview did

[warm sky]

Giovanni was actually the good guy

[vagrant steppe]

Oh that's what I was thinking of

Yeah, the Raticate thing is canon

[warm sky]

who wanted to take Mewtwo

show me a source

[golden lance]

Lemme grab it rq

[warm sky]

I call bullshit, google tells me nothing

[golden lance]

It was in the now archived pkmn channel

[vagrant steppe]

Also it's canon in adventure

Which is the current timeline canon for how RB happened

[placid junco]

Like I get that game freaks news cycle about SV is frustrating but like

Isn’t half the appeal of a new Pokémon game seeing things you’ve never seen before?

[outer eagle]

you say that but people hates it when they're forced to use new mons

[placid junco]

I do that to myself anyways

[warm sky]

ble never had a raticate in the manga tho

[placid junco]

I always make a team of entirely new Pokémon every time a new gen comes around

[warm sky]

His team was Charizard, Scizor, Golduck, Machamp, Porygon, Rhydon

iirc

[placid junco]

And at least personally, I love going “wow, what the hell is that?” More than one time

[warm sky]

okay checking I am correct, but porygon and rhydon evolved

[vagrant steppe]

Woops meant origins

[warm sky]

Origins also never said it

???

I genuinely think you're having a severe case of misremembering

[vagrant steppe]

Maybe. I could have sworn it's mentioned somewhere canon now

[golden lance]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/5zanys/three_of_the_best_japanese_fan_theories/

This is the thread i remember seeing

[outer eagle]

All this theory, and we still don't know what truly happened to the Ghost Girl in USUM

[crimson moat]

Wait calyrex had merch?

[warm sky]

yes too much lmao

[crimson moat]

See the only merch I know of it is the tcg

[warm sky]

they recently just tried to make his plushies more autumn-y in hopes to sell it

[crimson moat]

Which Shadow Rider and Ice Rider were popular (and good) decks

[warm sky]

they have so many unsold

[crimson moat]

Vanilla ass Calyrex never got anything decent in the tcg

[warm sky]

tbh the only pokémon theory I have any believe in

is the kangaskhan cubone one

because

we literally saw

a beta third stage evo

Like that's holding a baby

[bleak pine]

Oh hey, reveal

I’ll have to watch that when I get back

Also that Marowak is just

[golden lance]

Yami did you see the thing i posted?

[bleak pine]

Techus

Also is it just me or is Iono just another attempt at Raihan

[golden lance]

Yes

[warm sky]

I'm genuinely calling bullshit on this still

[golden lance]

Bro it was on the official site wdym?

[crimson moat]

https://external-preview.redd.it/Jcaj59QPwfS_RWKI6ijBHH7bQug4e2ao_hB_aXCqp84.jpg?auto=webp&s=d77e0701ffb0e7c53995779731421390c87e1e7a

[bleak pine]

Did you know

Hex Maniac on the 17th

[warm sky]

Because it feels more like a spooky story told, unless it's from someone who worked on the original games themselves saying it

[bleak pine]

Also Iono basically confirms to me that this gen they really wanna appeal to the internet more

[warm sky]

I ain't believing it

[bleak pine]

Legit the one gen where everyone got the Girl treatment with art 💀

And we got

Meme names

Funny looking chars

Influencers

Ripping off SMT's 3 roads campaign (not a bad idea because it makes SV have more to offer)

(Plus there won't be an alignment system so yeah it's like having 3 campaigns)

Inn4 they make Iono a vtuber like they did for that one NPC in Masters with her twitter

[golden lance]

Hmm yes, because smt invented every single jrpg mechanic to date, including multiple storylines

Truly revolutionary

[warm sky]

... bro

[bleak pine]

I mean if you think about it

[warm sky]

the three roads

[crimson moat]

Don’t diss them, they invented your shins too

[warm sky]

is nowhere near the fucking same

as smt

You're on severe

[bleak pine]

It kinda did make the catching monsters in a game

[warm sky]

fucking copium

also pokémons inspiration was ultraman for that

[bleak pine]

I don't wanna say GF LITERALLY took the idea

[bleak pine]

And also this

[golden lance]

Smt invented the concept of holding the up button to make your character go forward

[bleak pine]

I do realize that the system isn't similar but I do think SMT's recent success has to do with it

[warm sky]

Also hack did it earlier than megaten

1984

[bleak pine]

Hack?

[warm sky]

a roguelike

[bleak pine]

I see

Megami Tensei did come out 3 years later so that holds up

But still I do believe them making 3 campaigns has to do something with it

[golden lance]

Bro

Smt did not invent the basic concept of side content

[bleak pine]

One could argue FE may have been a more direct influence

But idk much about that one and the routes mostly seem to be character differences and interactions rather than full endgames and quests

But I may be totally wrong

[golden lance]

Also, the "paths" that sv has are basically glorified side quests

It most likely won't affect the plot if you choose to skip one of them

And you can probably do any of them at any time in a single playthrough

Unlike FE and SMT

In any case

Almost finishing up pokemon unbound's main game, currently at the e4

[bleak pine]

You think so?

I got the impression you are locked in one at a point

[warm sky]

... no?

They literally confirmed you can do them in any order bro

[mighty storm]

I think we'll get the proper mon reveal tomorrow

surely they wont drag this on for several days

[warm sky]

Lmao

[golden lance]

Inb4 the mon gets revealed 6 hours before the game drops

[bleak pine]

-Sylveon reveal

When does SV even drop

[mighty storm]

November 18th

[bleak pine]

Jesus christ these dates

It's a sign from god that I am meant to be a Pokemon fan always

[mighty storm]

we are so close to the games coming out

[bleak pine]

They are always close to my bday

Even the same day one time

[crimson moat]

I mean
Yugioh also fit that mold for copying hw too

[bleak pine]

Still waiting for Ki-Sikil's glowup

[long stone]

i mean each of the 5 themes is getting 2 alt arts

so just wait for next month

[crimson moat]

It’ll much more copy hw when Pokémon tcg makes its own vtuber archetype

Bold to even assume ptcg would make archetypes in the first few packs of a gen tho

[placid junco]

durant mill reprint

[crimson moat]

If they really wanted to be modern, grafaifai wouldn’t have been toxic paint.

It would have been dorito hands

[bleak pine]

5 themes?

[bleak pine]

Inn4 we get Streamer mons

With abilities that give card draw or smth

[crimson moat]

Is what I would be saying if Durant wasn’t actually pretty freakin bad rn

[placid junco]

was durant mill really that good

[crimson moat]

Nope

[placid junco]

at any point I mean

[crimson moat]

But it is especially bad rn

[placid junco]

ah

[crimson moat]

Several decks want cards in the discard early on

[placid junco]

ah so it's having a yugioh phase

[crimson moat]

And Durant gets destroyed by the lost zone archetype rn

[bleak pine]

The moment they introduced lost zone I got confused and knew it would be abused

So why didn't they

[crimson moat]

They usually do lost zone cards like once a gen and more often than not the theme sucks functionally

The two times it was really good were it’s initial intro and gen 8

Gen 7 Lost zone got more cards than gen 8 but it sucked

[bleak pine]

I wonder why didn't they remake the arceus deck

Good idea

Shitty rewards

3 ENERGY 40 DMG

Yes sure totally worth

[golden lance]

They did

It was called mewtwo and mew ttgx

[long stone]

Arkooos

[bleak pine]

Funny joke

Arceus as a deck was so cool as an idea

But looking over the attacks

Barely worth the hassle

Looking more

3 Energy below 100

In a meta where the payoffs were 150 hp mons?

Possibly between 120-150?

[crimson moat]

Remake Regigigas X too

[warm sky]

He will require 6 energy now for the new regis

[crimson moat]

Sacrifice ex, double max HP and attach 4

Dude remake Dusknoir Lv X too

[bleak pine]

Show him

[bleak pine]

Thank god sacrifice isn't there to keep him on the field or some BS

[bleak pine]

Inb4 he needs pure dragon energy

[vagrant steppe]

Man why aren't the Pokemon events digital codes?

GameStop has a marshadow, volcanion, and genesect event rn

I'm not driving a town over for a marshadow

[sleek sky]

probably precisely so you have to drive a town over

[vagrant steppe]

Yup and to make people pre order sv

[harsh path]

land blahaj

[flat sedge]

big blahaj

[mighty storm]

ooh hey its shiny to

/s

[random stream]

@pseudo goblet how would you itemize clef in unite?

also I'm thinking draining kiss / gravity

[pseudo goblet]

Haven’t look at the pink ball’s movesets, gonna depends on it being like Mr.Mime with oddly lot of damage, healer or status user

Maybe, potion, score shield, aeos cookies, assault vest? Never use aeos cookie myself tho

Either potion or Smoke bomb btw

[random stream]

hmm im thinking uh

score shield specs focus band or exp share maybe?

[pseudo goblet]

Oh yeah I forgot about focus band, that could work

It’s almost like my Mamoswine items

If we going for damaging play, maybe…Muscle band, razor claw, Rocky helmet?

Funny thing is Clef on paper seems like Blissey+Mamo, both I used pretty often, considering to get it- after Buzzwole and scizor

[mighty storm]

I swear if this electric type is super cute, it may replace a mon on my main team. Gamefreak I only have 6 slots, you making this a tough choice.

[pseudo goblet]

Just get multiple teams 😂

Or just shiny hunt the other mons that didn’t make it into your team lol

[mighty storm]

OH oh my gosh

I think I found the exact frog it could be based off of

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Benny_Trapp_Pelodytes_ibericus.jpg/440px-Benny_Trapp_Pelodytes_ibericus.jpg

Iberian parsley frog, it's only found in Spain and Portugal.

it has eye like bumps to, and is yellow

[pseudo goblet]

There’s a lot of frogs in Pokémon huh 🤔

[mighty storm]

I could see this being our new electric gym leader's ace for sure. Plus || many bump "eyes" fits with the leaks saying electric/psychic typing for it||

[random stream]

Yeah it looks like it. I dont remember if gravity does damage one sec

[mighty storm]

btw fun shiny hunting fact, if you shiny hunt ninjask or shedinja, hunt a nincada

[pseudo goblet]

Yes

[mighty storm]

shiny value will transfer to the shedinja

aka you will have 2 shinies from 1 hunt

[pseudo goblet]

Nincade shedding its Shiny shell

[mighty storm]

true

[crimson moat]

The best thing so far to come out of the new showcase is definitely all the crackpot theories on who is behind the vtuber

[fading stratus]

She's like a streamer than a vtuber

[crimson moat]

K who caresx

[fading stratus]

I do
It's like saying Naruto is a vtuber because he's a animated character

[vagrant steppe]

It'd be funny if she was just this annoyed girl "irl"

[crimson moat]

Not even close to the biggest crackpot theory

Technology is incredible guy

[vagrant steppe]

Also, her ace is Cradilly

Terra electric cradilly

[mighty storm]

um, clearly not cradily

also terra type=/= ace

[random stream]

Oh so gravity boosts your dps @pseudo goblet

[vagrant steppe]

"Has spots people think are eyes"

[random stream]

Im thinking if muscle band is worth it bc of that

[vagrant steppe]

"Cute"

[mighty storm]

has bumps

[vagrant steppe]

"Yellow"

It's cradily

[mighty storm]

the bumps?

https://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/img/pokedex/full/346.png

those eyes legit are painted on

[pseudo goblet]

So it boost teammates

[crimson moat]

There was also the theory of "it's really a porygon"

given the colors

[mighty storm]

"Little bumps on its head look like eyes"

[crimson moat]

I'm sticking with Tech is incredible guy, that'd be great

[pseudo goblet]

I know people have been mistaken which eyes are the real ones, but it somehow didn’t fooled me ever once before

[mighty storm]

oh apparently the leaked ||frog is bipedal||, well hope it's a good one

and like I said, they could easily make this into an electric fwog

[random stream]

Oh it makes your attacks faster and stronger

Gravity is Clefable's first official move revealed. Clefable creates a zone that persists for a set amount of time. Inside the zone, Clefable's basic attacks change and deal increased damage, while opponents have their movement speed decreased and stops their moves' movement effects.

[pseudo goblet]

To be fair tho, when did they ever make a ||quadrupedal|| Frog beside maybe froakie lol

[mighty storm]

Literally first gen Zane

[bleak pine]

I still like our two-legged frog friends

[pseudo goblet]

Bulbasaur?

[bleak pine]

Calling them the Battletoads

https://tenor.com/view/battlemaniacs-beckon-pimple-taunt-battletoads-gif-18535591

[mighty storm]

venusaur, but like close enough

https://64.media.tumblr.com/03c6b3f3f0676964f20af1db03f607d7/tumblr_inline_pcyjjp2WyF1qh5tvf_500.gifv

[pseudo goblet]

Venusaur is like a mix of dinos and frogs to me lol

Fair I guess

[bleak pine]

Venusaur is just a weird monster-thing

[random stream]

Venu is froge ye

frog dino

[bleak pine]

Not even lying, it's not exactly supposed to resemble much of anything.

Though, frog dino is an apt description

[mighty storm]

One speculation Im surprised nobody is talking about

Ed Sheeran's song Celestial

[pseudo goblet]

Haven’t listen to it yet

[mighty storm]

https://youtu.be/23g5HBOg3Ic

since Ed and the Pokemon company said this song shows up in game, surely their is plot related lyrics?

[pseudo goblet]

So It can be a healer, a brawler and a hindrancer(this is not a word)

[random stream]

Looks like it

[mighty storm]

Maybe it's related to Arven's storyline?

[pseudo goblet]

Tempted to get clef asap and apologise to the bug boys waiting

[mighty storm]

btw I wonder if Ducky has heard the song yet, a slowpoke is in it

[pseudo goblet]

I’m quite curious what’s with pokemon’s recent hire artist phase

https://youtu.be/3crovG3Q4dU

Next thing the world might give us Pokémon collab with Justin bieber or something, idk

[random stream]

ya I really wanna get clef asap too

Let me know what moveset you go for

[mighty storm]

the music video have a bidoof and baby pokemon in it

[pseudo goblet]

Reminded of this just now lmao

I legit don’t know what’s this suppose to be even tho I do

The Japanese sprites for gen 1 was weird

[fading stratus]

That tree on the back looks rather small

[mighty storm]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ERP3DqpWAAE6xQ_.jpg

[pseudo goblet]

Someone made a 3D model for the Golbat one

[mighty storm]

Kiss be like ^

[pseudo goblet]

Obstagoon eat your heart out lmao

[mighty storm]

OOH more Khu info on fwog(?)

anyone know Chinese?

[fading stratus]

Ducky probably does

[mighty storm]

@waxen moat can ya translate Chinese? 🥺

[pseudo goblet]

Why the bottom text looking like weird sounds 😂

The one above looks like a legit name

[mighty storm]

People are saying this is related to ||dolphin hero?||

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah Ducky is our best bet, I dropped my Chinese studies way long ago

[waxen moat]

... Uh

I... think it might be some shitposting about kamen rider belt noises

I'm not 100%

Not really tuned into Chinese meme culture

But at a glance it sounds like a bunch of sound effects like a rider belt

[fading stratus]

[golden lance]

BUS DRIVER

[pseudo goblet]

… wait… @mighty storm, Rider

[mighty storm]

But isn't Iruka dolphin?

[waxen moat]

Yeah that's all the "info" there is

The second chinese reply is just a bunch of onomatopoeia and other garble

As far as I can tell

[mighty storm]

tbf two ||hero mons are known. Kamen rider line and dolphin hero line||

||so dolphin hero has a belt attack?||

[pseudo goblet]

It looked like someone is moaxing if you ask me 😂

The bottom one

[waxen moat]

Okay yeah it's belt noises

Oh right

Irukaman henshin!
Dai dai dai dai daishogun!

https://tenor.com/bzEN7.gif

[pseudo goblet]

I KNEW IT WAS GAIM ONCE YOU SAID ITS RIDER BELT RELATED!!!

Why not kachidoki tho

[pseudo goblet]

Wth is irukaman???

[waxen moat]

Tweet is about Iruka whatever the fuck that is

They're just playing off that

[mighty storm]

iruuka=dolphin? I think

[waxen moat]

Yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Ah

[waxen moat]

I just meant in the context of pokemon or whatever this is

[mighty storm]

cuz of the yugioh card, only way I know what that eans

and leaks say dolphin hero so uh, irukaman= dolphin man

[waxen moat]

-man is just kind of

A superhero thing

So I wouldn't extrapolate anything beyond it's a hero

[mighty storm]

khu said it's humanoid

[waxen moat]

Ah neat

[mighty storm]

so yeah, new husbandomon

[pseudo goblet]

I’m guessing it’s Water steel

Cause the guy used the samurai rider’s jingle specifically

[pseudo goblet]

Doesn’t evolve, so, the mon stays the same physically but wears an armor/suit

[mighty storm]

perhaps

[pseudo goblet]

So I’m assuming the dolphin rider and the bug one are rivals, and since Gaim was shown, these two gonna have blood on their path in the future

[mighty storm]

Ooh I would like that

heading to sleep, ping me if we get a trailer before I wake up

[random stream]

Huh is clef not out yet

[pseudo goblet]

That’s what I noticed earlier too

Something about ‘committee release’ or something

Not sure what that mean

[random stream]

hmm the time in the update thingie on the title screen says 15:00

so maybe in 3 hours?

[pseudo goblet]

Ya might wanna hope they didn’t make Clef to be gems exclusive for the FIRST 7 days like the previous ones

It’s sad that we can buy the same thing with in-game currency days later, but people still buy these early-access bait and waste actual money

[random stream]

hey I was gonna waste money on this

ppl are saying 14k coins too, im far off

[pseudo goblet]

Then again, Aeos coins are hard to farm if didn’t login daily, heck, I do that yet I currently only have 60-70k, that’s like 6 Pokémon only

[random stream]

Yeah I came back recently, so 10k coins only

[pseudo goblet]

Good luck lol

Maybe they can do discount on release date, but I doubt that, they only do that with holowear skins

Another thing, BOY! Am I glad I am DONE with that mf Mew event missions… holy crap… those missions ain’t easy when you don’t have much free time…

[random stream]

[pseudo goblet]

Btw I am curious, what’s Clefable other move? So far I’ve saw Gravity, Draining kiss and I think Moonblast? What’s the fourth move?

[random stream]

Follow me apparently

Wow Draining Kiss is really good

[random stream]

so Follow me is a dash and then it taunts enemies that you connect with

forcing them to attack you

kinda like Shen?

You also get a shield

[pseudo goblet]

Like the wild Pokémon or enemy team? Lol

[random stream]

Works on both

so say im clef I dash towards zeraora with follow me and he gets it

he now walks towards me and starts auto attacking

[pseudo goblet]

Okay that implies clefable is tanky

[random stream]

Sort of, tanky with a good amount of healing

oh also you get a shield when you use follow me. upgraded follow me also boosts your defenses for a bit

[pseudo goblet]

If the choice are between gravity and Follow me, right now I say Gravity

[random stream]

I do prefer gravity as well

but maybe follow me has some niche with like a mobile healer kinda deal

Gravity might be better for solo q

[pseudo goblet]

Gonna see if I can do the same tricks I do with Mamoswine on Fairy type Gengar later

[random stream]

wow if someone dashes into the gravity they get stunned

[pseudo goblet]

Immediate stun?

[random stream]

If they dash into it yeah

Clef's ulti is super funny

you get more healing then you get a random move

block, close combat, hydro pump, hyper beam, fly, and explosion??

not sure about the last one but the 5 im sure

[pseudo goblet]

Oh cool, so my in-head theory for Clef moves having Metronome was good

[random stream]

Apparently the chance for self-destruct is lower

@flat sedge I'm gonna become a clef main

[pseudo goblet]

Knowing what self-destruct can do in unite, yeah that’s a good thing it’s lower chance to happen for balance

[flat sedge]

sorry ren i dont play that game anymore

[random stream]

its okay Ill play less current

unite baby

[pseudo goblet]

Seriously, do not go easy on the electrodes on shiver map and catch ‘em map, they are no joke

[random stream]

it's updating @pseudo goblet

[pseudo goblet]

Right on time 😂

Still on working hours…

[random stream]

oo fair fair, I'm finishing up my work rn actually haha

[pseudo goblet]

Which country you in?

[random stream]

somewhere in SEA

[pseudo goblet]

Atlantis?

[pseudo goblet]

How many k needed?

[random stream]

It was like 450 gems?

[pseudo goblet]

That’s like 15-30 rm- Jesus

[random stream]

dont worry I have disposable income

was saving for a while ever since they announced clef coming to unite

[maiden flax]

Gravity sounds insane

[pseudo goblet]

Stopping an enemy from moving = more time for you and team to beat the shit out of em = The best and The most fun experience ever

[maiden flax]

How long does the field last?

[pseudo goblet]

High horsepower is definitely good, but Icicle crash+Earthquake Mamoswine is my true love for defense

I have my hopes for Gravity Clefable

[pseudo goblet]

Idk yet

Perhaps similar to crustle’s stealth rock

[bleak pine]

Hey anyone know how some youtubers do those "Guess the powerlevel of this TCG card"

What if we did something like that for Masters

[pseudo goblet]

Like, guess how good the units are base from 1 to 10??

Idk how this guess powerlevel works

[mighty storm]

Iono is doing another stream tomorrow

apparently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrYtaqFT5rE&ab_channel=ポケモン公式YouTubeチャンネル

[placid junco]

So there’s like a 40% chance Iono is Penny’s online persona right

At least that’s a theory I saw

[crimson moat]

That was a theory yeah, especially given the + - pants

I still want “technology is incredible” guy

[void herald]

was technology is incredible guy in sword and shield

[obsidian juniper]

Its gotte be more like 70 tbh

[mighty storm]

I don't think it's Penny's online Persona

[void herald]

i wonder if iono's voice acting sounding as forced as it does is intentional or not

[pseudo goblet]

Btw @random stream you might wanna get some Aeos tickets(the currency used for clothing), who knows when will they make a Clefable outfit

Unless they make it gems exclusive…

[spice rivet]

Happy 1 Year anniversary of me walking my boy

[maiden flax]

Yes

[void herald]

thank god

[maiden flax]

He was in the starting town iirc

[mighty storm]

yeah

[bleak pine]

Guess if this move is good

[vagrant steppe]

It's either terrible or insanely broken based on asking

[mighty storm]

OH! Wait something about the trailer yesterday

"Your eyeballs are MINE - caught in my electroweb". The move electroweb slows down the opponent (Is she telling us to slowdown the video? Also why does her eyes change completely?!)

[twin shard]

First impression is a very good move

Lets you revenge kill without dedicating a choice item onto it

Then you can uturn the next turn

[mighty storm]

what if, she is part of the true villains of the game

[vagrant steppe]

I really don't think the trailer is that deep

She's just supposed to be an idol

[mighty storm]

then why does it happen twice

[vagrant steppe]

I don't see anything?

[bleak pine]

Terrible af

[mighty storm]

her eyes

[vagrant steppe]

What about them

[mighty storm]

when she says the line "your eyeballs are mine caught in my electroweb!" her eyes change completely

[bleak pine]

Remember when they used to show EVERYTHING back in ORAS

Like nothing was unknown by release

[vagrant steppe]

It's probably just them doing a fancy animation

[bleak pine]

Gen 7 and 8 were more secretive

But gen 9 is more liberal?

[mighty storm]

except in all other scenarios, her eyes are pink

[vagrant steppe]

What's disappointing about the trailer is gonna be seeing how rigid she is in game

Wait do you mean the magnemites?

Because her eyes don't change color

[mighty storm]

Her eyes do though

[vagrant steppe]

I'm not gonna chroma key it but I'm pretty sure they're pink the whole time

[bleak pine]

We gonna assume Pokemon can do good twists?

[vagrant steppe]

Actually fuck it, imma chroma key it because I'm bored and there's literally nothing going on here

[bleak pine]

Be sure to get 1080p to be sure

[mighty storm]

there is significantly less pink when she says the line

[twin shard]

Or

[bleak pine]

Also idk how this indicates she is evil

[mighty storm]

and the lines are different

[twin shard]

We can just agree she’s just a good waifu for this region

[bleak pine]

It's an easy play on the fact she says eyes

I just think she is a vtuber

And I am gonna agree with the Penny theory, it seems plausable

[vagrant steppe]

What's the time stamp on her line

[mighty storm]

0:11 and 3:16

[vagrant steppe]

I don't wanna watch more of her talking than I have to

[mighty storm]

comparing her normal pink eyes to the white eyes

[vagrant steppe]

It's just an animation lmao

[twin shard]

Hating this character is like hating Elesa from gen 5

[bleak pine]

You got the name wrong

[vagrant steppe]

Her normal pink is:
#fd9efaZ
The other is:
#cec7cd

It's just a lighter color for an animation lmao

[twin shard]

I played in a different language

[bleak pine]

Also like

Elesa was a hot model

This is a vtuber

[twin shard]

Yes and?

[bleak pine]

But not like funny A bs

Like obnoxious

Kawaii

[mighty storm]

but her eyes have different symbols

[vagrant steppe]

Elesa at least fit the region, since NYC has fashion

[mighty storm]

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxc6SGRnC8S6YiRG_n4IW3eg7oesPMHmqb

[vagrant steppe]

It's literally just an anime trope

She has stars in her eyes

[bleak pine]

Also she could easily be a vtuber

[twin shard]

You’re saying Spain doesn’t have fashion?

[vagrant steppe]

It's normal for them to change in anime to different things

[bleak pine]

Paldea is so spanish I haven't seen a matador yet

[vagrant steppe]

It's not a conspiracy at all

Spain has fashion, but it's not known for it's fashionable vtubers

[mighty storm]

Im not talking about her normal eyes, those being stars is fine

[vagrant steppe]

Nah the other eyes are just a different symbol

It's literally just an anime trope

[bleak pine]

I don't know if Spain is known for it's mafias either

[twin shard]

Vtubers are a type of model now

[bleak pine]

Or the weirdos with grass

[twin shard]

Get with the times old man

[bleak pine]

Vtubers are literally just the opposite

[vagrant steppe]

There's no bigger meaning behind it behind "They animated her eyes to be fancy for a trailer"

[bleak pine]

Tbey are 3d models

[mighty storm]

Especially since Khu told us to "||Not trust anyone"||

[twin shard]

Yes, and irl models are 3d models

[bleak pine]

Khu can eat it

Man is a weirdo anyways

[vagrant steppe]

I don't think Khu knows 100% of the content

And he's lied before

[placid junco]

just don’t trust leakers

[vagrant steppe]

I think he probably knows a good chunk, but not all of it

[mighty storm]

So what if she isn't real

[vagrant steppe]

Also, it's a REAL stretch to assume there's anything here beyond a model doing an anime trope

[mighty storm]

switching to lines is an anime trope/

?

[placid junco]

Ye

[vagrant steppe]

I think at best, the reveal is that she's a vtuber

[placid junco]

Eyes are often the most expressive part of the face in anime

[vagrant steppe]

Eyes doing funky things to express emotion is a super common anime trope

[mighty storm]

but what emotion is she showing when she says that line?

[bleak pine]

People are speculating she is Penny

To explain why Penny is such a shut in

[vagrant steppe]

She's a streamer. She's being overly dramatic

[bleak pine]

https://tenor.com/view/gawr-gura-haha-funne-funny-vtuber-agenda-gif-22251742

This emotion

[twin shard]

Theory: all gym leaders are Penny’s vtuber models

[bleak pine]

Or smth

[mighty storm]

fun fact, she was in the first trailer

[vagrant steppe]

The only reason it's on "electroweb" is because it's a pun

[bleak pine]

As always the first thing pointed out to me abiut Iono

SHE IS THE TRANS FLAG

Thanks trans twitter for leaking in my tl and giving me the biggest 50/50s in my life

[placid junco]

Most people I know are assuming Iono is just Penny’s online persona

[twin shard]

She is?

Huh

[vagrant steppe]

I don't think that's her?

[twin shard]

Didn’t notice it

[mighty storm]

yep, look behind that switch

[vagrant steppe]

The head shapes look entirely different

And the colors are off

[placid junco]

I mean
If it’s an avatar

It doesn’t really matter

[vagrant steppe]

It might be some concept art tho

The first SUMO trailer had a lot of random concept art in it

[placid junco]

Oh misread here lol
My b

[vagrant steppe]

And half of it didn't end up in the game

[vagrant steppe]

That could be literally anything lmao

[mighty storm]

probably a figurine of her

[vagrant steppe]

Maybe

[bleak pine]

Same

[vagrant steppe]

It's just a big blur

[bleak pine]

Mostly because it makes sense

[vagrant steppe]

Like there's NOTHING in that image

[bleak pine]

And fits gen 9's memey stuf

Stuff

No joke gen 9 so far is like it was made for Twitter specifically

[vagrant steppe]

Yeah I can see the Penny reveal

[placid junco]

I mean what else would an exhausted looking shut in who skips school do

[twin shard]

I’ve only seen 1 memey thing in gen 9

[vagrant steppe]

Hell, Penny's ace is Eevee, so it could become Jolteon

[mighty storm]

um, there clearly is

[vagrant steppe]

Not in the one you posted

[vagrant steppe]

it was too zoomed in

[bleak pine]

Gen 9 is very meme

[twin shard]

And Smolive really isn’t that bad

[bleak pine]

How do you make Wigglet

And call it that

[vagrant steppe]

Lechonk is also a meme

[bleak pine]

Smoliv

SMOL

[twin shard]

Lechonk isn’t a meme

[bleak pine]

FUCKING SMOL

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/lechonk-pokemon-my-beloved-gif-25833758

[twin shard]

It’s lechon with a k at the end

[vagrant steppe]

"chonker" is a memey term

[bleak pine]

Who the fuck says chonk unironically

[vagrant steppe]

I know where it comes from

[mighty storm]

too many good designs this gen

[vagrant steppe]

But like, it's a meme word

[bleak pine]

The femboy is like

They know the art is why most chars are popular

[twin shard]

Also getting mad at wiglett is like getting mad at diglett

[mighty storm]

Im going to have to play the game at least 3 times with how many cool mons they giving us

[bleak pine]

Wiglett is one N away from being a slur

[vagrant steppe]

Wiglett is the pokemon meme of "Take a pokemon and make it long"

[twin shard]

So is diglett

[vagrant steppe]

Also, yeah, the name is kinda unfortunate

Diglett is pronounced different tho

[bleak pine]

Wigtrio

Whitrio

It’s not the first time they’ve given stuff to Pokémon of other gens

[mighty storm]

Wug makes the most sense, cuz it can be a throw back to diglett's evo

[twin shard]

It’s been the focus of some of the most recent games even

[bleak pine]

Inb4 it's chugtrio

[mighty storm]

No

[twin shard]

White blue green
