Currently undefeated with this team

there's a bunch of lead combinations that work well into multiple teams

flopped

#

Like clearly not as good as the original

bleak pine
#

Hmmm... let's see

#

I mean, there's Alolan Ratatta

#

Though that isn't exactly a lofty bar

#

Alolan Diglett was a very nice design, with it's hair based on the unique volcanic glasses you can find around Hawaii

#

But from a battle standpoint a lot of people still loved Dugtrio's standard form, all cause of Arena Trap and just how swift it was.

#

Most people aren't exactly too crazy over Hisuian Avalugg, even though I find the idea of a living snowplow very cool

#

Funnily enough Paldea doesn't have much regional formes.

I actually met a "Stop Having Fun" guy today

#

Was in some kind of Pixelmon server and such, telling me to stop bringing my Mudsdale to a raid battle.

#

Apparently I'm not allowed to have favorites.

#

His Garchomp got punted twice during the battle, if that's any consolation

#

Oof

A few others did tell him off, I just simply ignored them and moved on.

Oh! It's ah, Project Shiba

Does the shiny boost from sandwiches help with breeding eggs?

Hmm... unsure of that.

I'm looking at the sprites from Shodown's April fools day works and holy shit they are a riot

Neat how there's a good few non-water types that have such animations

What's NP

polar osprey
#

Nasty plot

sand forge
sharp kernel
polar osprey
#

Nor thunder wave

#

I really want to know his thought process there

#

Because even if he was afraid of you going in on his hydregon population bomb should take quaq out

#

Was he afraid of bulk quaq or something?

sharp kernel
#

I can't tell you what they were thinking, only what i was thinking

#

I assumed they were going with hydreigon tailwind into maushold pop bomb into quak

#

hydreigon has to match the tailwind set by kilowattrell since kilowattrell is the best scaling tailwind setter in the meta

#

he could have assumed tailwind into close combat into maushold also

#

but i don't even run close combat on quak

#

brave bird, aqua step, aqua jet, protect

polar osprey
#

Quak is not common at all iirc

#

So people see fighting thing that can snowball and probably just immediately assume cc

#

But even if he assumed you would go in on his maushold you just protect there not encore

placid junco
#

I wish Brambleghast had better ways to use its stab moves outside of Tera blast, bullet seed. Shadow sneak, and power whip

polar osprey
#

So he had to assume aqua step for whatever reason

#

Gotta have 530 speed

crimson moat
sharp kernel
#

the encore tells me he assumed bulk up

#

but bulk up is frankly a singles set

polar osprey
#

No way anyone runs that in quak yeah

crimson moat
#

Yeah Swords Dance is way more popular a setup move for it in doubles

#

Bulk Up is like nonexistent

polar osprey
#

Yeah but if he assumed SD he would just click pop bomb and kill quak

#

So it had to be bulk up like thugs said

crimson moat
#

Yes

#

But I was commenting on what set was more popular

sharp kernel
#

I’m convinced that competitive kilowattrell makes half of the common lead PokĆ©mon unviable

#

They never see helping hand coming smh

#

Hippowdon is def serving his niche for me rn

sharp kernel
#

So tldr

#

They never locked the battle box for this Gen

#

So it makes it very easy for people to cheat and change their move sets between matches

#

That’s why movepool is visible

crimson moat
#

So as someone who isn't gonna watch Wolfe build up for 5 whole minutes before getting to the actual topic, what is stopping Pokemon company from fixing the lock part of the battle box (or why was it modified to be non-locked)?

sharp kernel
#

Here’s the part you’re going to find hilarious

crimson moat
#

And my guess is, like discussed when the rules were first announced, he says that it is fine to do it this way and it changes what you should and shouldn't do for surprise element

sharp kernel
#

They said ā€œhardware limitationā€

crimson moat
#

THAT sounds dumb

sharp kernel
#

Lmfao

crimson moat
#

This was a thing in SwSh right?

sharp kernel
#

That’s what I’ve been trying to research

crimson moat
#

If not, why didn't they spend time working on that too?

#

Add it to the pile of "why did the game release like this?"

sharp kernel
#

Like surely, locking teams to not be changed till a tournament is over can’t be a hard feature to implement

crimson moat
#

I really, really doubt it is a hardware limitation

#

It would make more sense if they said "We developed code earlier on that would make locking everything about a team a hassle"

#

Like OBE but in reverse, Instead of overcoming a problem with new code unintentionally, code was developed in a way that makes it difficult to implement a new feature

#

Hardware Limitation sounds horribly wrong here

sharp kernel
#

I’m doubtful myself as you can easily just add a toggle to private rooms (which I assume is how tournaments are played) that says ā€œlock teamsā€

crimson moat
#

Or if they don't, implement an entry system that captures a unique ID to the team's composition at the start of the tournament and bar a player from using a different unique ID for the rest of it

#

At that point, you'd have to hack the game up a lot to bypass it

sharp kernel
#

There you go, we have the rental team system, have every player playing have to upload and provide the rental team they’re using, judges confirm pre match that the appropriate rental teams are selected and boom

#

Anyways, besides that; everything else makes sense. Tera makes it impossible to account for every possibility, this system rewards scouting. On the negative side, it could lead to stale metas (which was my main concern), it punishes unique team building

crimson moat
#

It punished unique team building in that there is less to abuse for surprise factor

#

most of that factor is now going to be speed and stat spread of ambiguous pokemon

vagrant steppe
#

Can't they just patch that?

crimson moat
#

But you see

#

"Hardware Limitation"

#

Excuses them from patching it into the game, too

bleak pine
#

Well, crap, I can’t think of any resources I want to go for now

#

Serebii is still very nice, but it’s primarily a news site first and foremost so there isn’t in depth information, Bulbapedia’s developers were in league with someone who was just outright a pedophile, and most other sites are just sparse with information.

# pseudo goblet I see Lusamine hired Froslass to decorate her own place

Frostlass is based on a specific Yokai called Yuki-Onna, who actually does this.

Basically, stories on this usually go that this was once a woman who ended up dying in a snowstorm, and tries leading men traveling snow-filled lands astray so they freeze to death. It's either that, or she freezes them herself, leads them to safety so they avoid her fate, or just falls in love.

#

Funnily enough, if you look at the picture for Frostlass' dex entry in Scarlet/Violet, it shows Frostlass sneaking up on a unsuspecting courier.

Yeah but the gym leaders and e4 don't lmao

#

Larry outright dislikes the champ

#

I feel the game just barely is scratching the surface of the problems of the league system in Paldea as a job

bleak pine
#

To be fair Larry is an overworked salaryman so I’d guess he isn’t fond of any employer he has

#

Seriously, 3 jobs, even if 2 of them aren’t exactly what one would think of as a full-time job

warm sky
#

I just find it interesting both main series switch games lightly touch upon the problems of the league but never go beyond it

bleak pine
#

Most of it stems down to the stress of needing to uphold yourself to being a sufficient challenge for other trainers, yeah. For Galar, the gym leaders you know of are the major league, and they have to keep up the good work, lest they fall out of favor and end up in the minor leagues instead.

#

I’m not too sure what the protocol for Paldea is but I’d imagine it might be just as stressful

#

The whole deal with Galar just seems rife of intrigue, though.

crimson moat
#

Only because they set it up as a bigger event

The only time they put in proportional buildup to output is honestly SM, and that seemed more of an excuse to reuse character battles… despite having other characters they could use anyways

hey pope do you have any of the quaxly line?

bleak pine
#

Y'know, Shift Gear is a really friggin' cool and great move

#

Just a shame some mons just don't use it very well. Klinklang doesn't exactly win any races from a speed standpoint, Toxtricity (Which for some reason is mechanical enough to use the move) is more at home with sp. atk's, as is Magearna.

Likely does leave the winners as Cyclizar (Who I got no clue as to how it can use the move given it's a living being), and Revavroom

#

Weirdly enough Cyclizar can't learn Dragon Dance, which I guess makes it just as lame as Garchomp when it comes to how it can't do the two-step to boost its stats

placid junco

I mean shift gear is just Ddance but better

Okay the new breeding system sucks

#

You can't do anything else while you're breeding

#

bleak pine
#

Eh... well, yeah, it's kinda bad if all you want is eggs and eggs alone.

#

Getting egg moves, on the other hand is pretty much the best it's ever been.

vagrant steppe
#

I mean other than sandwiches, there's nothing you can really do

#

I'm trying to breed for a pallosand I guess but this system sucks

bleak pine
#

Oh right I just remembered. It's not one egg at a time unlike other games, so you can just leave for a bit and come back to like, 20 or so eggs

#

Any excess I think, can be declined, in case you think you got enough to hatch

vagrant steppe
#

Yeah but each egg takes like 15 minutes to pop up

bleak pine
#

Just uh, be sure you got your pair you want, or you'll have a whole mess of eggs from different species

placid junco
#

The girl character is super likely to be Ash’s daughter

The official(?) bio for her a friend of mine shared said she was a transplant from kanto who

  1. Has a frightening knack for battling
  2. Doesn’t like to talk about her family
    And 3. Is from kanto
sleek sky
#

Ash's daughter

#

that won't cause any uproar

placid junco
#

I mean it could just be ā€œwe’re too big cowards to not have some direct kanto connectionā€

sleek sky
#

she doesn't like to talk about her family because they will never confirm who the mother is

placid junco
#

That too

#

These are the bios my friend shared

#

Riko
A PokĆ©mon adoring girl hailing from the Kanto region. Transferring to the Paldea Region’s special academy to hone her skills in all manners of Pokemon care and knowledge. She has a special bond with PokĆ©mon that few can understand. She has a frightening knack for battle and an easygoing attitude. She doesn’t talk much about her family with those around her and refuses to give her family name to any except the Professors of the campus. What secrets and mysteries could our protagonist be keeping and for what reason?

Roi
A native of the Paldea region, with a dream to become the worlds greatest PokĆ©mon chef in order to take over his families business and to make the dream of his Father come true. He’s known around the Academia for his kind and caring nature along with his dislike of the outdoors. Unlike Riko he’s more than happy to carry his families legacy and wishes to discover the legend of the ā€˜Herba Mystica’ of the Paldea Region.

#

So if these are legit she literally refuses to give her last name to any of her peers

#

i forgot about the part where the Yugioh anime died when Atems stopped being the MC my bad

placid junco
outer eagle
#

man imagine something dying for 20 years KEKW

#

must be some damn slow death

placid junco
#

It’s not been dying it’s just been in distribution rights hell

outer eagle
#

how popular is Boruto

#

might be a more interesting parallel

sleek sky
#

It's not as big, memory serve me right

#

I'd say it's more contcontroversial, but the original was also blasted about writing decisions too

outer eagle
#

well last i've heard of it Boruto's anime is on like the 90th-ish? episode now.

#

seems to be "not dying" enough for me

sleek sky
#

It's still going, to be sure

#

It not dead

last musk
#

Boruto is still popular but it's not close to the original in popularity

sleek sky
#

Just arguably not as big

#

Boruto involves the original cast and (sometimes unpopular) things happened to them too

placid junco
#

I think it’s physically impossible for the PokĆ©mon anime to lose momentum

last musk
#

Like with boruto I imagine a lot of people will dip from watching the anime, but those will be older people who were invested in ash's journey

outer eagle
#

most anime can't even get more than 13 episodes adaptation, lucky ones can go for 2 seasons
so Boruto is already doing far better than like 90% of anime out there Hahaa

shieet

#

you might be onto something

placid junco
#

I really need to finish the story lol

sleek sky
#

oh

whoops

#

warm sky
#

Hell the battle obsession is Nemona

placid junco
#

All good lmaoooo

#

I’ve seen the ā€œPokĆ©mon mommy issuesā€ and ā€œPokĆ©mon daddy issuesā€ memes

sleek sky
#

Can't wait for them to swerve us
And they'll make Riko the granddaughter of Proffesor Oak or something

outer eagle
#

either way

placid junco
#

Oak was the other possibility I had in mind yeah

outer eagle
#

pokemon will simply never die due to raw nostalgia alone

#

watch all the people saying "the anime is dead without Ash" come back week after week anyways

placid junco
#

Of course

sleek sky
#

Who else would have a famous family name that someone might want to keep hidden

placid junco
#

How can they complain about it unless they are actively watching it

#

Probably any of the gym leaders

sleek sky
#

I always forget Gary

#

Maybe it's Gary's kid

placid junco
#

Dude was literally constantly surrounded by an entourage of women in the original series

#

It’s totally possible shit went down

atomic cove
#

So who replaces Pikachu as the mascot ?

I say Tinkaton, the fucking hammer gremlin

placid junco
#

Pikachu will still be the mascot

pseudo goblet
#

Eevee, please šŸ™šŸ»

placid junco
#

They can get away with replacing ash

#

But not the damn rodent

atomic cove
#

If ash is done so is Pikachu

How you gonna have one without the other ?

placid junco
#

It’s not difficult

outer eagle
#

Pikachu is a species

#

Ash is an individual

pseudo goblet
#

What would the gimmicks be this time, like, Ash and Pikachu didn’t wanna rely on evolution to get stronger or something

atomic cove
# outer eagle Pikachu is a species

Fair point

You could just give a Pikachu to the new protag, but they're gonna have the paldea starter first

Maybe distinguish the new Pikachu from ash's by making it like Pika Libre

outer eagle
young river
pseudo goblet
#

I still hope we’ll get to sometime see Ash in some ways as the anime goes on šŸ˜”

#

I quite like the theory that Ash is the new protag’s father

placid junco
#

I think if she is his daughter, it’s inevitable

#

Given the bio I’ve seen explicitly states she doesn’t like talking about her family, and she outright refuses to give her last name to anyone that isn’t an academy professor

#

(And that she’s from kanto)

pseudo goblet
#

Now that I think about it, if I want more Ash moments, I can just watch the 1300+ episodes over the years KEKW

#

Thinking twice on BW…

atomic cove
#

Bruh her hair clip is the lil symbol on ash's hat

#

Who's the mom??

I saw people saying Serena, the blue eyes

tacit sphinx
atomic cove
#

Nah it finna be Latias didn't you watch the movie

pseudo goblet
#

Galarian Mr Mime maybe

tacit sphinx
#

i think my brain hurts from a dumb theory

#

the impetus of the theory is fine

#

"will in the elite four is trans" is a neat one

#

it's a nice headcanon people have

#

the theory suggested here is

#

okay so apparently being trans lets us fucking TIME TRAVEL

#

when do i unlock that

#

how much oestrogen do i take

outer eagle
#

are they suggesting that Will is Lorelei?

tacit sphinx
#

yes

outer eagle
tacit sphinx
#

the theory is that they have the same colour palette

#

therefore they are the same person

warm sky
#

I still never buy the Will is Lorelei

outer eagle
#

i guess Specials doesn't really count towards in-game canon

#

but even then this is a gigantic leap

tacit sphinx
warm sky
#

I will settle for that

atomic cove
#

With ash gone wtf is team rocket gonna do ? Just try and steal fuecoco or something?

tacit sphinx
#

because i don't believe the lorelei one but the will is trans bit is a cute headcanon imo

warm sky
#

Lorelei being a trans woman is also based on "confidence"

#

Which is... Super silly

warm sky
tacit sphinx
#

y'all think team rocket had like the single biggest fucking lecture at giovanni after ash won

#

"SEE"

#

"SEE WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH"

#

"LOOK AT THAT FUCKING RAT IT'S TERRIFYING"

pseudo goblet
#

Something something Maushold

tacit sphinx
#

this reminds me, my friend sent me a video recently of that misery x cpr x reese's puffs meme but with team rocket singing

outer eagle
#

giovanni should just sponsor a trip to Alola, Kalos and Galar for his most talented grunts

tacit sphinx
#

and they said "the best part is that all three of them could sing any part"

outer eagle
#

guaranteed team Rocket will be 100x more threatening

I hope they let these new characters breathe on their own, while call backs are nice I want them to distinguish themselves from ash, hopefully that means the rat won't be a main stay but ig they'll do what they feel they need to in marketing

placid junco
#

If the girl actually is his kid, it could be a neat arc of trying to be her own person

pseudo goblet
#

Ops, didn’t mean to ping

placid junco
#

All good lol

atomic cove
#

In b4 she gets a pichu that's the weakest on her team til later on in the season

But that'd probably be a lil too on the nose

pseudo goblet
#

Hmm, idea, she does have a Pichu but not wanting to be like Ash, she let the Pichu stay at home

#

Kinda like those in-house NPCs with their PokƩmon they own

atomic cove
#

She wins not with the power of friendship and belief in oneself, but with some sweaty smogon type strategies that everyone else considers "not in the spirit of battling"

Who’s the new mascot going to be if no pikachu

What paldean PokƩmon fits the bill (hopefully not that stupid ass electric fighting one with the stupid hair)

placid junco

Ash can be replaced

Pikachu can’t at this point

Only other options are like

True, true, Eevee has some renown

Well you just said it, that sounds broken as fuck

PokƩmon Scarlet and Violet has an interesting bug that causes only shiny flutter mane to spawn during the day in Area 0 with an encounter sandwich. that's it.

Yikes, no knock off?

lucid moth
#

knock is an option

mighty storm
#

you are in the ideal time, night is the worst time to shiny hunt flutter mane

random stream
#

Knock is good since knockers are super scarce

#

and you force a lot of switch ins

mighty storm
#

if you press ZL you can actually see the regular ones despawn in real time KEKW

#

Guessing steel tera Hariyama’s not a thing in singles?

mighty storm
#

but yeah @vagrant steppe day is the best time to shiny hunt fluttermane right now

sharp kernel
#

What’s the rarest shiny to hunt rn summer?

#

I’ll get it as my first shiny

vagrant steppe
#

Still authentic poltergeist

golden lance
#

Does mirage island wynaut count?

random stream
#

Choccy did you watch the game?

placid junco
#

Authentic polteageist is the rarer

golden lance
vagrant steppe
#

It's only a 1% chance for authentic polteageist as is

sharp kernel
#

Authentic poltergeist doesn’t have the chopped teapot right?

placid junco
#

It has a tiny little sticker under the cup

vagrant steppe
#

Yep

vagrant steppe
#

Found it

#

And caught in a premier ball

vagrant steppe
#

Now to get it to 100 for Charizard raids

clever saddle
#

Caught a shiny vaporeon but can’t name it grape juice, what is a good alternative?

latent sleet
#

violeta nyaruhodo

bleak pine
#

Hit upon an idea for the fangame

#

Alright, so I might have a slight solution to how the player can get mons that are regional-exclusive.

#

I could give mons that usually would require evolution in a different region such mons, as Shadow PokƩmon that need to be snagged

#

So, possibly an organization head or two could have mons such as Alolan Raichu, Hisuian Liligant, as well as stuff like Ursaluna, Annhilape and Obstagoon

That’s a sick design ngl

#

Ninjask is finally good for something - cool concept art based on them

placid junco

You mean aside from baton bass

Liked the design when I saw it, good use of Ninjask’s wing as the scarf

Main why do I have to catch all the Mons for shiny charm

#

I hate my boxes being filled with Mons I'm never gonna use

#

I mean, nice for wondertrading away ight

But if I have every mon why would I wonder trade

Random legendaries/shinies maybe

#

shows don't want to carry it on TV in the west

#

the rights are clearly understood currently: only shakeup was round when 4K folded, then got bought and remade and absorbed

#

that's when we got a produced alternative pilot for Zexal dubbing involving Johnny Yong Bosch as Yuma

#

TV as a medium in terms of "channels" has a lot more competition now, and a lot more cordcutters to worry about now, than it did when ygo started

#

so whatever you pick up for your channel has to be something you're confident will be a hit with your region's audience

#

the west WANTS female protagonists now and Japan hasn't quite got there - the closest we got to that was the first eight episodes of Arc-V where Yuzu was basically the plot-relevant main character

#

so it's less distributionrights and more distribution itself that has become harder - you need entities to want to pick it up for broadcast

#

in JP that's not a problem bc it's a TV Tokyo product

#

here in the US not so much - even the concept of a Saturday Morning Cartoons television block, a television institution that stood decades, no longer exists

#

this is notable because although we don't think of it as such, ygo itself WAS a cornerstone of such cartoon blocks while on the air, until those blocks stopped existing

I mean for pokemon it seems riko the girl is gonna be the main battler

#

How come both of Scarlet's Psuedos are Future Paradox, but we didn't get a past version of Dragapult

last musk
vagrant steppe
#

True

#

But we should have gotten Iron Blimp (Future Drifblim) and Terror Fin (Past Dragapult)

#

Since they're only half the version exclusives

#

Would have been cool to replace Sandy Shocks and whatever

last musk
#

The amoonguss one is the worst one imo

vagrant steppe
#

It's at least kinda playable, but the design sucks yeah

#

Sandy Shocks has both a boring design and is bad

warm sky
#

isn't iron jugulus and the amoongus one just

#

worse

#

than the original

#

iirc

vagrant steppe
#

The amoongus gets some okay moves and is somewhat VGC playable (if it wasn't banned)

#

There's nothing redeeming Jugulis

#

Tbh, most of the future paradoxes not named Iron Bundle or Iron Valiant are just awful

last musk
#

Iron thorns is cool

vagrant steppe
#

He is, but he's BAD

last musk
#

Is it cause of the move pool, the lack of sandstorm ability or the less bulky stat spread

vagrant steppe
#

A bit of all three

last musk
#

Fair enough
