Unova felt very New York
also concerning bulls: ||You want 3 bulls? We getting 3 bulls||
Unova makes some conceits for having a map with all the types represented
But it feels new yorky at the end of the day
I mean, the battle facility is the subway after all
Just like real life
Cacti
I know Samurott is weird but like I think it's on purpose the starters are not on theme
The bull(s) being: ||Paldean Tauros Black, Paldean Tauros Red, and Paldean tauros Blue||
Pizza is italian
That'd be in the Italy region
We got the pigeon here
New York pizza is literally one of the defining things about New York
Kalos had a lot of French stuff too
We got the
we know ||colors of them, and that black one is mono fighting and the blue is water/fighting, and red is fighting/??? assumption is fire||
nice
Not good…
is this a leak or a reveal
still creeped out by this detail in her eyes
It’s weird but I don’t think it’s noteworthy
well she's revealing her ace tomorrow, I'm gonna keep a close eye in case she gets any more sus
@pseudo goblet im trying out draining follow me for now
but drain gravity works if you have to pocket carry
had to do it this other game 
Tried gravity on practice map, maybe it’s more interesting in actual match 
Is it weird that the enemy still able to move around or it’s just prevent them from dash away 
Yeah gravity is kinda hard to use sometimes
I'm really liking follow me
makes you a lot more mobile, you can do eject button into follow me to really catch someone
also makes you close so draining kiss actually connects
What do you think of this setup? I dont have like the best emblems or anything so mostly bronzes and silvers
priotitizing HP and move speed
Not exactly into emblems builds but seems like it does it’s job
Censored cause I forgot about the thumbnail 
Can’t wait to know gen 9 mon names in Japanese 
Wew yeah zane, Follow me is the best
Still stuck behind gems-paywall 
We were p behind vs a fed tflame and our pikachu kept running it down
I managed to steal ray at the last second with follow me eject draining kiss, died ofc but when I respawned I snuck to the bottom with follow me to score +80 and clutch the victory
Gonna need to try clef more behind buying it for real, i usually hoard my coins a lot 😅
Unite must be so zany with what mons can become playable.
Cause, if mons like Crustle, Clefable and Dodrio can get with it, you get super cool situations
I love clef so I bought in asap
Clutch victory feels great but definitely stressed

Oh yeah for sure
I don't even care about it being a scary fairy in game competitions
It's just cute is all.
Her ulti is super fun symph, it's softboiled + metronome
My pink ball of choice remains Blissey for now 
I found the secret 7th move on wonder wish it's splash 
she hops around doing nothing but your unite bar gets refilled by 90%
so its not the worst
Excuse me what 
Yeah nothing happens but your unite bar gets refreshed
can be annoying though in teamfights
very low chance
Oh okay that’s nice
The joke is quite rude in serious match but not the worst thing ever 
I think you still get the unite shield?
so theres that
second chance to get unite shield 
Oooh 
Oh yeah because like wonder wish heals right then shields you bc of magic guard and unite shield
but the bonus move doesnt do anything except refil your unite bar
so you could heal shield again in theory
very interesting
It’s hard not to imagine Clefable hopping around doing nothing in my head 
You think those are weird, try Hoopa 
Hoopa are quite annoying in unite too, you either get a teammate using it but totally not doing much good with it, or competent player using Hoopa on enemy side 

Ugh, just imagining scenes of them running away while me being near death… while my Talonflame and Zeraora is still on the jungle…
Correction, them running away while I’m dead 
I got a zera on my team in this 5 stack
hoping they're good
spoke too soon
im so unlucky w these yeesh
then next match god zera opponent sigh
No Absol or Gengar? Lol
got a shiny X unown and pichu earlier
86 out of 100 shinies, need to get a move on to get to the goal
oh god, she did the thing again
her eyes went wack

also bellibolt is AWWWWW SO CUTE
TBH I just think that’s an indication she’s just a vtuber rather than anything big
I'd like it if it weren't for the side eyes thing
Like those things pierce into your soul
So far I only have fuecoco and Clawf
He is very friend shaped
Iono is known as the Supercharged Streamer, having gained popularity as the host of the Iono Zone—she even streams her work as a Gym Leader!
Visit the Gym in Levincia to challenge her and Bellibolt!

Nvm
She’s a real girl I guess
There goes the Penny theory
New Ability: Electromorphosis
Bellibolt’s Ability, Electromorphosis, is a new Ability appearing for the first time in these titles. Bellibolt becomes charged when hit by an attack, boosting the power of the next Electric-type move it uses.
THATS the frog?? 
Oh so it’s flash fire for electric
Still no bug ight…
Nope!
Welp, at least I have Unite to release my inner anger from the absent of new bug 
Its not flash fire
Temporary flash fire
It grants no immunity and activates on being hit by any damaging move
It's charge but an ability
Eh
You can do stuff like Surf Weavile combos with it
So, similar to Steam engine?
No
If it tanky it could be nice as well
Much worse
It's not like Justified where you could just beat up multiple times I'd think
Not really
It activates on any damaging move not just eletric
All moves trigger it, not just electric ones
But, you could still power up with Surfvile type stuff
How much does charge increase electric moves by?
Cause i imagine it will be roughly the same
It's usable but we need to understand the pokemon's stats and the boost
Cause i heard someone say that the ability gives the electric move 2x power
Bellibolt is one stage only right, so there’s that one stage joke electric Pokémon of this gen 
So what other types that missing from current roster of gen 9 Pokémon? Like, currently we have electric, grass, fairy etc, so what types we re still missing?
||Bug||
Man why does everything this gen feel like it's monotype so far
Fidough is pure fairy
Klawf rock
This guy is electric
So that you're more encouraged to terastilize them since you're only losing 1 stab instead of 2, maybe?
I guess, but one type is less interesting than 2
Wiglett is pure water
Cetitan is pure ice
In fact, the only officially revealed dual types so far are "(X)/Normal"
Petition for everyone monotype mon to automatically be given a secondary Normal type if possible
isnt it more like justified?
Not all of them, but more mons should be dual as opposed to mono types
btw sus
Shoes are sus
they are going directly into her foot
They’re attached to the shoes
Justified is Dark only
Pure ghost types gaming
Very easy to do with glue
The bolts aren't in her feet, but it's easier to draw that then have to draw a way to show they are
electric justified
this triggers on every damage
but gives charge instead
It's also worse than justified since it's only for the next move
idk in singles i'd argue it's better
And he's probably not gonna be getting hit with that many electric moves that often
I read that as electric
in doubles you can do like Snarl Justified
But in singles this ability seems a lot better
Any attack can damage it for the boost
The boost is charge
The boost more than likely cannot stack like how Beat Up works with Justified
😮 charge just for being hit? busted if this has any bulk
Like if he sees any play, it'll probably be for getting hit with a volt switch and then doing something with it
Tldr, you are hit with any damaging move, you now gain charge, charge boosts your next elec move, then goes away
cuz you can just fish for damage with a good predict and give yourself a boost next move
But I don't think so because electric isn't really a good defensive type
Electric isn't a good defensive type because there aren't a lot of bulky electric types
mechanically speaking being only weak to ground exactly makes it very functional to be defensive
You also want to lose speed ties with this mon so you can easily put more of your evs into bulk
True, but either way I'm not seeing "taking a volt switch and then doing one hit" as a reason to run this guy
Maybe he'll get a ridiculous move pool and I'm wrong
so just weak neutral hits
It’s more likely to be doing the volt switch
beta frog
if it's stat spread is remotely bulky it can tank most neutral hits just fine
Boost on any hit, boosted attack is only electric
Still not sure he's great but he could be solid then
Ah, I was reading it backwards
iirc there's that 1 electric move that's the equivalent of mega drain but stronger
parabolic charge
Which, after the buffs to Giga Drain and such, Parabolic charge is weaker
tara electric it
well i was comparing it to Mega for a reason
The only advantage it has is that Parabolic charge hits all in doubles
Giga has been 75 since gen5
if it happens to be like a utility mon that can set up rocks/spikes/tspikes with bulky stats then i can see this being interesting at least
Does every new mon have a good enough ability?
Bellibolt's could be nice in a TR team
If it carries over turns
I love how much of a schrimbo that Bellibolt is.
Nah Calyrex 
Somehow won a expert rank match with two speedster on my team just now
||Paldea Pokédex:
- 103 new Pokémon
- 297 returning Pokémon
- 400 Pokémon total
Outside the Dex:
- 40+ HOME-transfer-only Pokémon
- Charizard line can be transfered...
- But only the Charizard line. Other Kanto starters didn't make it||
This is just making me hate ||Charizard||
As you should
If you like progress you should hate Charizard 
If you like progress you should just hate Gen 1 in general tbh (regional” forms not included)
That’s fair
I have a soft spot for the fossils
What about Pikachu?
Because I like fossil Pokémon
🤝
Anime Pikachu, sure, Game Pikachu, keep it away from me 
BDSM
Brand logo maybe?
I’m gonna be calling bull on this one tbh
I mean it's Khu, they have the knowledge
I have made my stance on leakers fairly blatant at this point
I assume they are liars until proven otherwise

this was in the grass gym
I still just kinda don’t trust leakers, ever
🤔 ? Grass badge???
I think they just spoil the fun for people who want to go in blind by getting their shit spread without regard
That’s at least why i don’t follow leakers or give them attention
Mood but clefable
Clefable is an angel
Then what’s Togekiss 
People out here listing off demons
tbh the new ability seems good exactly if froggo has parabolic charge
I honestly expect Parabolic Charge to get another buff to 75 to put it in line with Giga Drain/Drain Punch
maybe, although at the same time parabolic charge also hits everything else in double battles
what does the frog do
He go bzzt when opponent go poke
A big determining factor in how well its ability would fare is whether or not the boost is saved until the next Electric move, or at least the next offensive move. Or will it just fade when you try to heal yourself with Recover/Slack Off?
If it works like the move Charge
It will fade away if you don't use an elec move the next turn
Which can suck tbh
You want to be able to set up hazards/heal yourself b4 committing to offense
Not gonna lie pretty low hopes for this being actually that good
prolly some lower tier gimmick mon or smth
If it gets Parabolic Charge and the move gets buffed to at least 75 BP then i can see it being decent
Even if the ability works like Charge
they could also not hit you with elec moves and you have no ability 
If the boost is stored tho, then just switch in, set up Rocks, then spam boosted Volt Switch to keep momentum
evire moment
Uhh ren the boost is given with any damage move
ohh hmm
It’s just that you only get boosted on your next electric move
Basically trading ceiling for consistency
Compared to things like Justified
thats defo better, hopefully you have the bulk to actually eat stuff then
slow/bulky probs?
greninja was fast 
Yeah with them bayonetta legs ofc he’s fast
anyway seems fine, just that bulky grounds are going to be a massive roadblock as for most electrics
and the boost only working on elec moves kinda worsens your problem
True. That’s why i want it to be a utility mon with tspike for example
the frog getting parabolic charge would be kinda nutty if it's bulky enough
Nyaruhodo
We saw it use Mudslap in the trailer. New Electric move that hits Ground neutrally pls 
Or just let Blissey learn fucking Recover
clef 
You will use Wish Protect and you will like it
Expectations: Heavy Duty Boots will allow Rock weak mons like Charizard a better chance in the competitive landscape.
Reality: Fat mons get fatter. 
he be a bellibolt
and charges when ya slap the belly
Actual answer: whenever he's hit, he gets the effect of charge for the next electric move
ah i see
well
Charge doubles the next Electric move's damage
we don't know how much the boost from its ability is
We have no clue if it's wasted if you use something else or how big the boost is, yeah
or whether the boost fades if you don't immediately use an Electric move yeah
i mean the fact you don't spend a turn on it already makes it better than charge
0.5x isn't a boost
It really comes down to the specifics, his stats, and his movepool
it's a debuff 
I'm expecting he's a meme more than anything
we don't even know if he's gonna have a signature move
Moreso meant like it could be the equivalent of flash fire
then it should be 1.5x
even if he's a special attacker, I hope for belly drum
Because if it's flash fire and he loses it between electric moves, he's awful
it just fits
do his hands even reach his belly tho
If it's a full charge and he can store it, he's probably good but depends on everything around him
damn mr tiny hands over here 
tbf, we have mons who can iron tail without a tail
will have to look at actual Japanese naming convention to be sure tbh
Isn't it because it's "Steel Swipe" or something in Japanese?
Iirc it's not literally "iron tail"
"Iron Tail" can just mean "Iron Pole" for all i know
oh god
There's a bunch of moves where the Japanese name is different
And it explains why they're available or not on various mons
they just materialize a tail when using the move?
Belly drum. A popular name for penile erection. A popular children's song says, "I'll give you a horse, a horse, and a pack of beans, so beat the belly drum.
A popular name for penile erection. 

Yo actually if the frog is a bulky physical sweeper, he'd be ass. So my money is on gamefreak made him one
"i am the boner of my sword"
There's like all of what, 3 good physical electric moves?
he's most likely special
how can you even look at a toad and think he's going to be an effective physical attacker
you'd imagine his primary form of offense to spewing out Electricity or Electrical substances from his mouth
tbf...That's a tadpole 
Wait, Poliwrath was effective?
I'd assume he's special, but gamefreak loves crippling random mons by making them the opposite of what they should be
Sceptile 
I mean probably more effective at physical attacks given its fighting type
Milotic
then literally fat slow friend
Sceptile is a victim of Phys/Spec Split tho
Like half of gen 3
back in gen 3 Leaf Blade was special
I hope bellibolt gets parabolic charge
none
Zeraora is arguably one of the biggest victims of gamefreak randomly giving them the wrong stats tbh
He's a mixed attacker who only learns physical moves, mostly fighting, and doesn't have a fighting typing
sneasle probably had it the worst prior to the phys/special split tbh
feraligatr also on that list
True, but at least they've corrected sneasle's over time
Feraligatr is still awful, yeah
So much so that his name is missing a letter from game limitations
And they still haven't fixed his name either
idk man Pog face Bellibolt's still my fav
but that is a pog face bellibolt
not memey enough 
won with a subpar team 
The new Pokémon reminds me of these things
oh yeah dont we have enough mons for a full frog/toad team?
Greninja, Venusaur, Bellibolt, Seismitoad, Politoed , and Toxicroak
yup that's 6
yup but now you can do it without doubling on any evo line
Being fair here, a lot of mons can use Bone Rush without the need of a bone.
In the anime, Lucario can do it, and just sorta manifests a large bone-like staff and uses it like a quarterstaff using aura
The only pokemon that uses bone rush without any form of a bone is Lucario
The only other pokemon that can learn it are the Marowak line and Mandibuzz
Yeah, that much is true. There's more examples for sure, but mostly that's the most notable.
But really, this is a game series where a Plesiosaur can learn to shoot lightning and eat dreams. There will be nonsensical stuff~
Could've thought there was more that did learn Bone Rush. Hmm.
smeargle
I can totally see Itsuki drooling while holding a Fidough lol
nom
Nom Nom
Nom nom nom
When you force a ball to fight a god at his home

“Now this is a sporting contest! Onward! To glorious competition!”
Landorus: Room for one more little ol me? 

||’Not quite’|| they say 
my guess for fire ||quadped but stands up?||
we get it, you don't trust the guy that was proven right 23 times in a row
nor do you like discussing leaks, so much so that you say this every time the topic is brought up
yeah i think it's pretty silly to say khu is lying when he's proven himself to have legit info multiple times before
Fair enough yeah
This seems reasonable
If not ||something like “feraligatr but it’s on fire”||
can confirm
I mean it did both lol like weavile loves hdb
pokemon challenges claiming pokemon isnt a jrpg
groans
yeah awful take for sure, I saw that one too and it's like
"well would you recomend a pokémon fan final fantasy or temtem?"
Bro.
People want a light hearted childfriendly rpg? The mario rpgs exist. People want it to be specifically a monster collecting rpg? The Digimon DS games. Maybe want it slightly more mature? Well there's also cyber sleuth. Want it really mature? There's Shin Megami Tensei.
And nobody in their mind is gonna say smt isn't a jrpg
it's such a stupid take
People trying to modify established definitions is what led to such a take to begin with.
Is Pokemon made by a Japanese based company?
Is it an RPG?
The answer is obvious.
It doesn’t matter if you “feel” something is jrpg or not. There’s a hardline definition right there to verify.
Even if it did matter how it felt
Pokemon is still very much a jrpg in feel .-.
There’s always 1-2 that are useful throughout the game
but yeah, the ||bugs|| are almost always awful
has there ever been an early route ||bug|| that stays useful throughout the game?
||Venipede line probably?||
Or we get gen 6 ||talonflame|| and ||corniknight|| lol
Although hardly any good ones with ||bug||
yeah but those benefit from ||being a 3 stage line||
||all the gen 9 bugs are 2 stage lines||
||Meaning unless they evolve late-ish, they'll likely have terrible stats||
just saying don't expect more than like ||480 BST||
Maybe similar to my baby ||Centiskorch|| which I find decent enough
OU standards nowadays
@snow oasis ||Vikavolt. Butterfree is also fine in early gens||
||also the CuS04 thing is like the crystal flower that was leaked?||
at the very least this gives potential options for when I fight Brassius
since I have less grass counters on my team
forgot, does fairy resist grass?
Don’t think so
It doesnt
ah ok so probably gonna pick up an early bug on my main team to help with gym 1
even if only temporarily
But that would revi ..... OH GOD
I should start another Nuzlocke, probably will die but I should start another
Play black/white 2 fighting mono
*She 🙂
Mono runs are kinda fun tho
You just need to do a research on all trainers on a route too so you don't get fucked
Does this smoochum look different to y’all?
Or just skip all the Trainers and Candy up like a pleb 
I sadly dont have BW2
Which games do you have
emulators are dime a dozen nowadays right
Yes
i can't even remember the last time i touched a physical catridge
probably decades ago
In a hardcore locke you need ev trained stuff anyway so even if you use candies you'll be training em
well yeah but the risk vs wild pokemon is lower
HG (also SS but I cant reset that one cuz shiny on cartridge if I remember right), White, got a bunch of the 3DS games but my 3DS is broken, Sword, Shining Pearl, and PLA
HG's level curve makes grinding annoying af so can't recommend that
Alternatively you can just use a emulator like Ryu said, yeah
X should be easy enough
imagine a first playthrough being a nuzlocke tho
thats why it wont be first, I got two playthroughs planned out Ryuji
this would be a third
i can't wait for the SV modders to implement gym level scaling tbh
Kyogre fucking dying after a whaling incident. Colorized. 2022.
That last match I misclicked gravity instead of follow me because crustle boxed me in, definitely gimped my performance
Yeah I bought the bundle 
My current build is
Score Shield - Choice Specs - Exp Share
Draining Kiss - Follow Me
Follow Me is really good
it makes you a lot more mobile so you have way more map presence, the taunt is good at locking down enemies and it helps protect carries, it gets you close so draining kiss can actually connect and heal
We had too much expection for Gravity lol
Yeahh it has like this delay and more mobile pokemon can just get out of it before it affects them
at level 4 up until you learn your second move, you have really high damage with
draining kiss + disarming voice
so make use of that a lot for surprise kills or securing wild pokemon (like the altaria swablu)
Wait halloween is coming soon right…
oh yeah
F-…
what happens in halloween 👀
Last year they gave us a weird ass Pumpkin quick match map
You have some sort of pumpkin shooter as item and you shoot them to make opponent transforms to Pumpkin, Force drop your points on ground+moves are disabled+can’t do anything but walk around
Imagine a match with competent enemy players, knows how to target players, but your teammate is dumb to dodge those and lose EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME
It didn’t help that the map was needed if you wanna do the events mission iirc…
ooof
I unlocked the advanced modes for Pokemon emerald rogue
So now I can get all mons up to gen 8, double battles for all trainers, etc
going off leaks we can make a full ||dog team. Houndour, Growlithe, Riolu, Zorua, the 3 Paldea doggos, rockruff.||
oh and ||eevee but idk if they count||

trailer coming, Masuda said "lets do our best this week" again

With Scarlet and Violet right around the corner, it's time to take a critical look at the last games in the Pokemon franchise. Were Pokemon Sword and Shield as bad a...
What's the answer was it?
The answer was no
"The fan made formats like singles"
This is certainly a take
His general take on dynamax was similarly "It made more stuff viable in official format"
He really doesn't give two shits about anything outside VGC
I'm slowly piecing through this and it reads like this:
- Dynamax was a good mechanic (I disagree with this)
- Raid Battles were one of the best things of the generation (I agree)
- Multiplayer facilitation was complete ass, as in ways to connect with friends (Highly agree)
- Competitive accessibility was great (I agree)
- Presentation, world design, animations were lacking, and lack of voicing in any capacity was jarring (I agree)
- Animations were inconsistent (Agree)
- Changing formats in VGC were good (Agree that keeping it from going stale was good, disagree that it was a good change always)
- The most popular VGC format was the one that banned Dynamax (Heh)
- Urshifu was designed with competitive in mind (Don't care. He only says this because of Unseen Fist and Dynamax mechanic)
- Both Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra were mixed bags (Agree)
- The best map design was Crown Tundra by a mile (Agree)
- A lot of the story of all of SwSh, DLC included, was boring af (Agree)
- The footprints mission should never be done again (Agree)
Pretty much almost all of his praise for the games was VGC formatting, raid battles, and competitive accessibility
Also his take on the worst thing about competitive was bringing back Lando and Incin
He has a corresponding tierlist vid too that ranks the games, I'll check where SwSh are
I skipped to the full list, he has:
BW2 at the top
PLA, Emerald, Platinum in S Tier
RS, BW in A Tier
DP, FRLG, and Gen 1 in B Tier (WTF Gen 1 up here?)
SwSh, ORAS in C Tier
HGSS, Gen 2, LetsGo, XY in D Tier
Gen 7 as a whole in F Tier
And BDSP in garbage tier
Gen 1 in B 
it gets flaky towards B and lower but that top 4 is correct
Pretty sure that's how he has it, I'd swap the order myself.
His main reason for not putting PLA at the top is the egregious tutorial
For me it would probably be BW2 > Plat > Emerald > PLA (If I played it)
I love Sword/Shield but really, posting one of these videos is just asking for trouble.
Sorry to say.
I'm a biased hoenn man so I'd rate it above plat and pla, but likely not over bw2
itd be like emerald = bw2 > plat > pla
And no matter how you put it, those are the top 4 games

Im really sad gravity didnt live up to expectations
Sort of expected the taunt to be good but i really wanted gravity to be better than literally just a taunt

Maybe I'm just not that good at using it? But it feels horrible to cast
I think the fact that follow me is a dash + taunt + shield + defenses boost is what makes it so good
you can pull off a lot of tricks with eject button follow me
clef's attack speed is really low so you cant make use of the stompy attack change all that much, the numbers are also low
Dynamax was weirdly the most balanced of the three gimmicks (dyna, z moves and megas) in vgc which is why wolfey likes it
The most balanced thing about dynamax was zacian not being able to dynamax

I'd argue z moves was the most balanced
(I mean the other 2 mechanics were not balanced at all either)
Id argue z moves were more balanced too but god were they a pain
also the worst part to come out of gen 7 for ou specifically is the tapus
Megas were extremely centralizing
Where you either had a mega or you were shooting yourself on the foot
Z moves were hard to predict and could just nuke one of your key mons out of nowhere
Dynamax i say that 90% of it being overpowered had to do with flying max move being able to raise speed at full power
Lets hope that the tera stab boost isnt strong enough to make it broken
I'm more a fan of Dynamax, to be honest. Just, feels right.
And yet I still think that yeah, Mega Evolution was incredibly centralizing.
Cause if you had Kangaskhan, Lopunny, Audino(lol), Beedrill or Pidgeot, you were gonna Mega Evolve it.
Cause why wouldn't you
Right now though I'm just disappointed, cause with Mega Evolutions it just seems like some mons just aren't very likely to gain a new sort of evolution down the line.
Z-Moves I felt were a step in the right direction, but it still felt off to me somehow.
Honestly, can't remember any mon that had a mega that could be considered getting a new evo even if it never got a mega
Max i can think is like
Sableye and maybe houndoom
Mawile?
Sableye, Mawile, and I guess Audino
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between A and Pushing limits ([Gen 8] OU)
@lucid moth if you want to see some beyond disgusting toxapex action
ill watch in the mornin
kk
dynamax felt fine in doubles, but it's like, if you're not gonna care about balancing things for competitive singles, just get rid of singles in the game altogether imo
and that's my hot take for the evening
gen 8 did a lot for competitive accessibility but it still didn't bridge the gap between the main competitive format and the main story format
if your generational mechanic is a middle finger to singles balance, what's the point
alternatively, actually give a shit about balance in your non-competitive format
and if you're gonna push doubles as your main competitive format, as has been the case for over a decade now, integrate it more fully into regular play
Gamefreak basically just wants to have their cake and eat it too
They want the main in-game format to be easily accessible to new players so they stick with Singles
They want the official Competitive format to be quick and easily slotted into a broadcasted schedule so they opt for Doubles
Official format of triples when
Triple Battles have been removed from existence sorry
whats it gonna take for them to make singles official 
honestly I don't think they will, singles battles can last way fucking longer
doubles being more fast paced is easier for tournaments
Plus Smogon kinda already exists and I doubt official singles would have any real effort put into it
it'd likely just follow the same rules as the current vgc format
Singles 3v3
Make it happen 
And it will be the same blanket banlist basically saying "no mythicals, no high bst legendaries unless format allows"
So it'd just end up as a worse OU
Well
and sometimes a worse ubers
I guess some mons that require more team support just don’t work
Interested to see if BP chains are still broken in 3v3
I feel like they'd still be
Dont they have singles as a side event sometimes?
wonder if there's a way to speedcap DeSmuME to 110%
Its the ds one right?
yes
i can make it go either extremely fast like 200+%
or i can speedcap it to exactly 100%
pex is so gross lol
Oh nice, I got the OG op boi
My whole team all voted forfeit before we even reach 0 on the timer… sure the opponent got Rayquaza but cmon man, just get good at defending…
I think next time I play a gen 2 game (maybe I’ll look into the dreyano versions of HGSS) I’ll try to use sunflora
like i admit sunflora is an absolutely atrocious pokemon
but I also have a soft spot for it
i'd probably use it in SV if i wasn't planning on using exclusively new pokemon
for my first playthrough
Maybe they'll buff it one day
They need to like buff every stat that isn't named sp atk or atk
Also warning: Apparently the entire game will be leaked tomorrow
And I do mean
The ENTIRE game
Everything will be leaked
Though the source is an unreliable leaker sooo
hopefully so
might as well leak everything if you're gonna leak anyways
edging people on with vague and pointless hints is annoying after a while
tell em kid
Cool, now to wait for news like SV 2/Ultra SV/ScarletPast Violetfuture/SV DLC that’s like months after SV goes out
I'd love a medivial Legends game where you are a detective or some shit
Something like spider man noir ig
No more remakes this console gen
I don't trust them with Unova
Look at what they did to Sinnoh
Can’t be after Sinnoh- yeah 
Nintendo Button is the name of next console trust
And gen 5 shouldn't ever be 3d imho
Nah, Nintendo Lever my dude 
2d hd or bust
Nintendo 3switches is another alternative name ig
If that actually happens I really hope people do be kinda restrained about actually discussing the full extent of the leaks in public spaces
source?
woah wait what?
isnt this like SM early? and SM was only that early cause of the demo
Blaine's twitter.
So hugest grain of salt
More like a mountain of salt
so yeah most definitely not real
blaine means it 100% not real
Anyway an important post
owO

About some dex entries for SV
…
So normal dex entries but ||more consistently exaggerated||
yeah for those legendaries specifically
so like "Jigglipuff is totally such a b-i-t-c-h"
It’s remix theme in Master ex sure is lol
||Yes I know, but technically paradoxes will have different name
||
||didn’t we get leaks about Paradox Volcarona, how do we even make it even more exaggerated about a myth Sun god lmao||
oh Zane that's where it gets better
Maybe ducky can translate the chinese stuff, but ||Violet's version of Paradox volcarona is an apocalyptic weapon|| 
||FM= Future moth||
oh you translating the chinese
These ones I understand lol
if these are for all the same, does that mean more legendaries with || genders like heatran
||
I should get this out before it got buried with me, I said ||’same body’ but, the way they said it implies the male and female share the same body||
||kinda like combee I suppose||
It’s one way or the other, at least both way ain’t exactly new within pokemon logic
Wait that means I have to get ||Violet, well dang, welp, anything for my buggy babies in a kids video game||
Ah but that's where it's tricky 
Pick a child Zane
Guess I’m waiting for the game to come out and decide then 😂
||Wait Salamanca and Hydreigon switched types??? Huh||
yup
HECTOR SALAMANCA??
||God dang, both x4 weaks Ground and flying||

||at least apparently we can catch multiples of each paradox in post game. So I'll trade moth friend for scarlet exclusives||
||what's a paradox||
apparently they also in raids to 
||Ancient and future forms|| apparently
So you wanna tell me this game is actually about time?
Like a gameplay mechanic or an aesthetic thing?
||New legendary mons that look like older mons, either future versions or ancient versions. But according to Khu they aren't actually time traveling||
After a game about literal sun and moon, what’s there to be surprised lmao
That's so weird, how would that even work
Omega spoilers ^ like this is more then just design spoilers (this was meant to point at my last post)
Despite that, Pokemon kinda fails at showing the power of these mons since genn3
Gen 3*
Ultra necrozma maybe?
Hmm sure
According to Khu: ||Paradox mons, mons that should not even exist. Are created by imagination||
||Baki Pokemon!||
Definitely not zygarde, sadly…
I like the letter Z, guess why 
Not planned DLC 
||note images besides Paradoxpuff and Paradoxamongus and the boxes are just stand in artwork||
Guess I’m probably gonna just have to bail from this channel until release at this point lol
Come join us 
Nah dw it's just for the leaks for now
After that season it gets back to normal
At least they didn't leak Lando T yet
F
Toxa is already here so fuck it anyways
Not that I care about the competitive, but still
this does make me wonder, || how early are these mons being imagined|| considering we have box art as bikes early on.
||A better question is how are they alive if imagined?||
Guessing it has thing to do with the ||dlc legendary||
The power of (insert SpongeBob meme)
||God is the plot that Nemona gives birth to koraidon/miraidon early on and then big bad evil guy realizes she made them and then later forces her to fully release her power?||
well this is an original plot, thats for god damn sure
||birth???||
||I like to think that Paldea is such a weird region with a lot of variables that it could either stay in the past or in the future and that due to this extreme evolution, some Pokemon are imagined to be in another form to survive or the region's inhabitants somehow expect them to look like this and somehow, they do (probably related to Tera Type)||
||This also sets up a 3rd game if they want lmao||
||Khu said Nemona is a goddess, the issue is we don't know if this means that it's Nemona's imagination cuz it could also be Arven. ||
||Oh god inb4 she is Arkoos' wife||
||And yes, birth cuz if it's her imagination then technically paradoxes are her children. Babies born from her brain||
Oh great, ||another godly power pokemon|| 😂
I am trying to be blind to everything not officially revealed
King of Thorn (いばらの王 Ibara no Ō?) is a science fiction manga series by Yuji Iwahara. It was published in by Enterbrain in the seinen magazine Monthly Comic Beam between October 2002 and October 2005 and collected in six bound volumes. It is licensed in North America by Tokyopop, with the final volume published in November 2008. The series is abo...
Khu titled this trailer: ||The truth of paradox||
the movie was good, but yeah that's where all this really snowballed
Nevermind tha
When are these guys releasing in Masters
I hope after the gen 8 cast is fully here 
||I wonder if it will do the full thing and have the villains who we dont know are the villains lock us up for a time travel nap. Only to not be time travel, and instead just two days later after the paradox creator makes all the new legendaries with imagination||
darkest story?
Playing Unite right now, WHY ARE ALL MEW PLAYERS I MET SO DAMN GOOD BUT ALWAYS ON OPPONENT TEAM
what kind of character is mew in unite? Support?
The fact ||Nemona could be a goddess sounds awfully familiar||
so as we know according to previous leaks Fuecoco gains a ||music|| theme, which according to Khu it's specifically ||jazz||
@placid junco Same here, gonna bail
Even if these "leaks" that keep coming very well may not be true.
The leaks may literally never arrive
I'm not sure that these leaks are that accurate. ||Why would gamefreak take 1 Mon from 2 different trios|| to get a new form?
If they lose the anime, that'd be massive damage to the franchise
Tldr; the movie is airing normally when the new anime would start
||Suicune and Virizion||
Yeah. That doesn't make much sense to me
Although they've done it with starters before so maybe
I hope the new ||puppie||s have good evos
...is this yet another case of DSOD mid Arc-V
Nah, not quite. But things are in a weird holding pattern
Maybe theres some weird negotiations regarding international rights? Cause Journeys was the first series to be on Netflix
And rather than announce it in Japan first then just not get announced anywhere else they want all their ducks in a row?
can't believe studio bridge is gonna do the next pokemon 
sadly I am giving up on my 100 shinies PLA challenge 
BUT
in the ashes of that challenge I shall go for a spooky new target
Someone posted a whole thread exposing Khu
I always said Khu was a weirdo but still, we have to get info from him because we got no trustworthy leakers
Eye for an eye?
god do I hope the datamines do happen tomorrow
so that I can finally not think about Khu ever
If your gonna leak stuff, just give a simple spoiler warning and then abandon all the vagueness
I know to spoil stuff
Isn’t it the rarest shiny
Using the tea smash method to improve my odds
Yup
can confirm I saved in front of an authentic one
1 in 909,990
Literally almost a 1 in a million chance
Can't you not save scum it either?
tea smash you sort of can
Either way, you're looking at 1 in a million odds at best
Its definitely the hardest shiny to obtain
Well star shiny that is. Square can be bred for iirc
you cant breed authentic
Huh
authentic can only be found in wild
oh messed up the tea smash method, accidentally saved after killing a phony one
gotta find another authentic
Already a 1 in 100 chance
Would argue shiny outfits in Battle Rev is up there too
Yeah but those are locked into battle revolution and not a Pokemon
Shiny authentic Sinistea is a 1 in a million chance at best odds
at least I can avoid non sinistea
Do you at least have the shiny charm
yes
So yeah, 1 in a million odds
yeah not even finding the authentics at this point
The fandom plummeted ever since USUM
Hot take
And we allowed some bad figures in
And misconceptions
gave up on the hunt for now, might try a different ghost type tomorrow
fandoms for things primarily aimed at kids tend to be awful
Yeah but not THIS bad
yeah but on the thing that started the conversation. Khu is just, jesus.
At best he is just creepy to fictional little girls. At worst dude's a xenophobe, transphobe ableist.
Khu sucks, all he is good for is leaks
and once the datamine drops, we'll no longer need him cuz this is apparently his last leak season
Khu has some sort of god complex
Pokeleak twitter is on actual fire right now
and not the good kind where leaks come in rapidly like a storm, the bad kind where everyone is yelling at each other
Hmm ||do I go for the status condition placer with Burn and poison, or go for the actual Bug with punchy baby, the fire and poison moth ain’t have bug type with it, THE TWIST!!||
Then again, we also have ||the bug type scorpion baby that turned to the dark side but since it was originally bug, so it still gets some love from me||
I know I posted this in the TCG forum and I also vowed to stay off for awhile but
I have to share this Zorua art
AAAAAAAA
Cute fox

Btw, if you re pretty familiar with Clefable now, better play more before they buff/debuff her after her release date 
I still question why can’t they debuff Absol a bit more

oh is Absol good now?
You see it, you die 
Even as a defender it’s 60/40
Well, with Mamoswine that would be the case, idk for other defenders like Slowbro
Crustle might have a chance to survive with Shell smash,
I’m guessing Clef doesn’t do well against Absol judging by your statement 
I dont think anyone does

the problem usually isnt you, it's your teammates feeding the absol
and now you cant handle her anymore
Yeah I had the same thought too, if you see Absol, just run, you will do more harm to your team than harming it lol
Absol just sees you like a wild Pokémon with 40+ points over their head 
Wait that : ) are the real eyes???
Which one is it 
Bellibolt has a 🙂 face yee
Like Chansey
Okay, so it’s not the cradily eyes that got me but Bellibolt, okay 
Now looks like Kirby, my affection for it are slowly rising
the eyes on bellibolt are right above the mouth
poliwhirl's is the outer ones
Changes made to my first playthrough team, even picked out what teratypes I want, AND nicknames
welcome back to the squad ||Kohtaro my kamen rider bug friend.||
Also Shiny Manaphy from the Rangers to D/P
Cause the shinyness was cartridge locked
isn't the rarest shiny a legit shiny jirachi from channel
since there's literally only 6 of them in the world
Huh, never heard of that one tbh
Okay so
iirc the shiny is locked to the disk itself
Oh no wait I misremember my friend corrected herself later
It's not locked; WISHMKR Jirachi has 65536 possible IV/Nature combos and only 9 of them are Shiny.
it's specifically only the PAL version of the game too
wanna know the annoying part of shiny battle rev outfits
you can only claim an outfit once
so if you get the shiny but have the normal one, ya dont get it
So basically to get shiny jirachi
you need to also beat ruby or sapphire's e4
then you can send it over
and if it isn't shiny
reset the game
and literally beat RS again
I actually have one of those
It was a pain, but it's not impossible
I will be honest, I only now remembered turtonator is in gen 8
Oh yeah. Turtonator exists.
I've never used a turtonator before
Me neither
i have had it used against me in pre-import SM
Turtonator was wasted
i like him

ZOROARK IS COMING TO UNITE?!?
Yo I remember talking about how it might work in unite months ago, now it’s in 
Perfect
Woah

Seems like 12k-16k are the new standard price for these Pokémon 

new
Ah, got ya, and totally agree
||then none, but we have a sushi dragon and a legendary fish||
for moon rite's question
So many people are thinking Ash is gonna win against Leon in the Finals, I really hope it’s not like Kalos league 2.0 
By this point, I can accept Ash losing against Leon, it’s the aftermath that I worry about lol
I can see the similarities
