Time to quell the war of two weather titans
Scrungly apple
Aaaaaaaaaaa Whitney
fun fact: Spidops is an ogre spider
literally some of the worst stats I've seen
Could've at the least given it a decent HP stat
My god
I think I finally built a great vgc team
what do you think @polar osprey
Currently undefeated with this team
there's a bunch of lead combinations that work well into multiple teams
I've swept teams with Hippowdon + Kingambit, checked amoongus + arcanine with kilowattrel + indeedee-F, Had Lycanroc ohko bulky dirge, had quak run away with game off one ko
gen 9 random battles when
I gotta admit, our regional bugs recently have been pretty good
From a wasp that is an evil scientist to a locust kamen rider
, heck even Spidops is pretty cool
and who can forget the cutest bug type to EVER exist
== PLAY IT HERE: https://dragonheaven.herokuapp.com/ ==
Introducing the Kanto Expansion Pak, a Pokemon Showdown Mod that can be played on Dragon Heaven! This video will summarise what it is, and what the Gen 9 update is going to add in!

nobody has made a bug type tier list maker with bug types yet
Im excited for when we get these two
The Scarlet one is so cool
Maybe Roaring Beast and Iron Sword will be the names?
Fleeing Beast
Good Dog and Bad Cat
Ok, I'm looking at that artwork and it is just funny
Even if it's just what the artist thinks lurks down in Area Zero
I'd imagine utilizing Coalossal's Steam Engine ability could work rather well with the right Tera Type
Leaning towards Water or Dragon, since both are resistant to both fire and water attacks
something to note, suicune and virizion start with S and V respectively. And they have forms that represent those individual paradox groups
š dlc?
A bit of add on, two characters from Journeys anime caught Both Suicune and Virizion

Literally how could there be a prehistoric Suicune
They were all made when the Brass Tower burned down

Iāve been thinking btw
Have any regional mons/convergent evolution mons just like
flopped
Like clearly not as good as the original
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.
that was more galar and alola
Wugtrio and alolan dugtrio
galar rapidash is also kinda iffy
That's why it's a paradox

Oh brute bonnet
Protean pog?
I just found out wugtrio has a signature move
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.
It was weird.
What server are you playing, if you don't mind disclosing?
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
The ones that are badly drawn MS paint sketches are fun enough but I love the jokes some of them pull
It does not
At least according to the description of the sandwich effect, but it's PokƩmon so they could just be lying to me
PWFFFFF
I love april fools corviknight
Is it about the early bug with this PokƩmon? 
Guess I was lucky playing Legend later than most people, sadly I got to experience first version of Legend shiny hunt method one time only š
I think it was Togepi

Yeah!
Neat how there's a good few non-water types that have such animations
man talk about salty
like yeah, let me not protect t1 on quak vs hydreigon and maushold
that would have surely ended up good for me
Bro had the freest np with hydregon ever lmao wtf
What's NP
Nasty plot

Most hydreigon sets donāt run np
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?
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
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
I wish Brambleghast had better ways to use its stab moves outside of Tera blast, bullet seed. Shadow sneak, and power whip
Just using Pikalytics as a baseline, it is rather uncommon
No way anyone runs that in quak yeah
Yeah Swords Dance is way more popular a setup move for it in doubles
Bulk Up is like nonexistent
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
Iām 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
I probably shouldn't be sharing this online to be honest
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
Thatās why movepool is visible
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)?
Hereās the part youāre going to find hilarious
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
They said āhardware limitationā
THAT sounds dumb
Lmfao
This was a thing in SwSh right?
Thatās what Iāve been trying to research
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?"
Like surely, locking teams to not be changed till a tournament is over canāt be a hard feature to implement
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
Iām doubtful myself as you can easily just add a toggle to private rooms (which I assume is how tournaments are played) that says ālock teamsā
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
There you go, we have the rental team system, have every player playing have to upload and provide the rental team theyāre 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
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
Can't they just patch that?
But you see
"Hardware Limitation"
Excuses them from patching it into the game, too
Well, crap, I canāt think of any resources I want to go for now
Serebii is still very nice, but itās primarily a news site first and foremost so there isnāt in depth information, Bulbapediaās developers were in league with someone who was just outright a pedophile, and most other sites are just sparse with information.
oh boy, more food mystery gift
I see Lusamine hired Froslass to decorate her own place
I got 9 herbas right now (2 sweet, 1 salty, 1 sour, 2 bitter, and 3 spicy)
I wonder who I should shiny hunt
The answer is clod regardless
How the fuck do I Speedrun gimmighoul
clod is a tough shiny to see
I could go for more shiny birbs

Why the fuck do the towers reset anywhere from an hour to a day?
Why the fuck do the gimmighouls drop 10-777 coins?
This is painful
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1742256402-6wim6u6ycng9gvjwpco1uxj2q0z3o5gpw clod and bax do it again
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between Superiorheat and A ([Gen 9] OU)
What does shiny clod look like? regular already looks amazing
Iām not liking this shroomish outbreak I found on my game. Only 3 spawned, more skiddo have spawned than shroomish
I just want a shiny shroomish
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.
Blueberry Eclair 
Ye I know, I was actually scared by one of the parody of that yokai from Mirumo anime
When I was like, 10?
Ah, anime?
Been doing more writing and I swear I came very close to punching a pillow for a character
Named my clodsire eclair
Did the guy really take 3 moves to realize the clod was water absorb XD
I think he was trying to read the corv xD
XD
Finished Scarlett... absolutely speechless
Everybody is naming the brownie the same name 
Y'know it's neat seeing how Charcadet has a few poison-type moves
A good few fire-types often had poison-type moves related to gasses, like Smog for example, so it's clever how a burning piece of charcoal has it too
So I heard the champion is shit then
Yep
Today i will use a lead as my anchor
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1742515286-3oip96xvtwrul8zfpq1zgwa3ffjkqp8pw just beat this pretty high elo guy, was 300+ on the ladder
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between A and freecaio >_< ([Gen 9] OU)
252+ Atk Choice Band Baxcalibur Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 308-366 (87.7 - 104.2%) -- 25% chance to OHKO didnt get the t1 favorable roll but it worked out in the end
clodsire is my new clefable
Zamn
Choice band bax is fun like that yeah
||A shame since I do like her a good bit||
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
To be fair Larry is an overworked salaryman so Iād guess he isnāt fond of any employer he has
Seriously, 3 jobs, even if 2 of them arenāt exactly what one would think of as a full-time job
I just find it interesting both main series switch games lightly touch upon the problems of the league but never go beyond it
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.
Iām not too sure what the protocol for Paldea is but Iād imagine it might be just as stressful
The whole deal with Galar just seems rife of intrigue, though.
you seen the drednaw rain team @polar osprey
pretty fun team with toxicrity just fucking shit up in the back
Seemed kinda whatever Idk
hunting shiny larvitar
It has built in checks for meowscarada
it does still struggle against aggro leads like mewoscarada + hydreigon
you know, soul links are easier to do in sv due to the whole multiplayer thing
so you always know where your friend is
I feel they dropped the ball on it too for SwSh
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
Still wished they went the route of unbeatable Leon being a rigged league

Man all the gym leaders fucking hate Geeta
Hikers in ScVi are cute
399/400
what you missing?
Pineco
oh thats easy at least
hey pope do you have any of the quaxly line?
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
I mean shift gear is just Ddance but better
Yeah. Amusing how it gets the better deal
Okay the new breeding system sucks
You can't do anything else while you're breeding
You just have to afk at the picnic
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.
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
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
Yeah but each egg takes like 15 minutes to pop up
Just uh, be sure you got your pair you want, or you'll have a whole mess of eggs from different species
Yeah that feels much worse than just camping a Japanese 6iv ditto in each daycare
trying to get a shiny fluttermane, none spawning 
So i joined a draft league and this is my squad
The draft league has a rule where you must declare one mon to be the "tera leader" and for the rest of the tournament they are the only one allowed to tera
does it lock teh type too
Wonder how much NaCl is generated from the salt boi?
something something tinkagun
that duraludon gun 
Tinkaludon?
This was without a doubt my most bizarre run ever!

something something eleventh birthday
Me sad š
Okay for as wild as that is.
They NEED to end it with Ash meeting Ho-Oh
Wait so⦠we re gonna stuck with these characters for the next 25 years 
I wonder if the Paldean stuff will be actually part of the story or like gen 7-8 where it's a super loose adaptation
Or even 1-6 where it's just not a thing
And only see like the villains sometimes pop up like 3-6
Wait...
Is that his dad
š
Oh wait apparently that screenshot is from one of the movies lol
So 2 things.
Apparently they're named Riko and Roy in Japanese, as Riko's hair clip is the symbol of Ash's first hat š
Damn ash really cut out the symbol from his hat to give to his kid as a hairclip?
What a self centered man
@random stream https://twitter.com/WolfeyGlick/status/1603537139123294209?s=20&t=xhXbQQe1usZhX6z0hZtfag
oh also double giga omega spoilers
best i can get rn is this cropped image but
do y'all recognise that golden glow?
||ho-oh, no?||
||yep||
Also why didnāt they animate a ||hug|| in that scene
Felt like that would have pushed tears to my eyes
Instead it looks a little awkward
Oh cool obvious prediction was right
Not that Iām complaining, but itās kinda funny that ||Lugia is arguably the least popular legendary from its gen||
Wait I forgot about ||celebi||
Nobody likes ||celebi||
PMD fans - fuck
Ninja'd
Oh apparently ||Jessie, James and Meowth got a promotion to Rocket Executives|| in the anime

@sharp kernel i really really hope the english dub is able to swap out mezase pokemon master with the Pokemon Theme from the Indigo League
deserved
I mean more likely will be the original theme song no?
that is the original theme song
it's just called "pokemon theme" apparently
I may be stupid
Me with 6 sec: Snom
i will kick it to brazil
You mean you hope they swap it out with https://youtu.be/2SeGoR8ZzUY
Season 2 Eng Op - Pokemon World (Full Version)
This was season 2's English opening and was used for the orange islands arc. I like the movie remix however for its fast pace.
no what the fuck is this
you know the one i mean
The best dub song
this is advanced battle erasure
the BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH DAKADA DUM DUM DUM DAH NAH NAH NAH
AH WANNA BE
THA VERY BESTTT
Lmao
you wanna know something weird
jason paige recorded a version of that song in 2012 supporting ron paul for president lmao
Best PokƩmon dub song? The Johto theme and original for me I think, but I never watch the dub seriously so idk all of them
I want to be the very best, that Ron Paul never was
PokƩmon Advanced Battle OP
Animation: AA VFX - goo.gl/8ZR6dr
Song Credit: John Siegler and David Rolfe
me: oh yeah this one was okay
me two minutes later: WOOOOOOOOOOAH I'M UNBEATABLE, POKEMON (ADVANCED BATTLE!)
Heard it a few times before, yeah that intro is good
Best theme in pokƩmon for sure
The true best song is the old pokeraps that used to play at the end of episodes though
Was Advanced battle from Battle Frontier?
Advanced Battle is early gen 3
Ahh
no it was the one right before battle frontier
What would be the worst dub song for yāall 
One of the gen 4 or 5 openings
Like either the DP rap or
IT'S NOT ALWAYS BLACK AND WHITE
Kinda same case for me but the subs
DP ops I think was well liked but it doesnāt do it for me, reason might be theyāre so similar with each other, or DP being my least watched season along with Johto one
BW, i literally forgot what the ops were like there 
Johto wasnāt bad imo, in retrospect though the PokĆ©mon choices were wack
Also I think johto movies were probably the best
Koraidonās wheel can glow???
motherfucking
power of unown
Itās really funny seeing people on Twitter say the anime is doomed without ash as the main character
The girl character is super likely to be Ashās daughter
The official(?) bio for her a friend of mine shared said she was a transplant from kanto who
- Has a frightening knack for battling
- Doesnāt like to talk about her family
And 3. Is from kanto
I mean it could just be āweāre too big cowards to not have some direct kanto connectionā
she doesn't like to talk about her family because they will never confirm who the mother is
That too
These are the bios my friend shared
Riko
A PokĆ©mon adoring girl hailing from the Kanto region. Transferring to the Paldea Regionās 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 doesnāt 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. Heās known around the Academia for his kind and caring nature along with his dislike of the outdoors. Unlike Riko heās more than happy to carry his families legacy and wishes to discover the legend of the āHerba Mysticaā 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
I literally brought this up to someone and they went āthe yugioh anime has been dying since Atem was doneā
Itās not been dying itās just been in distribution rights hell
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
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
Boruto is still popular but it's not close to the original in popularity
Just arguably not as big
Boruto involves the original cast and (sometimes unpopular) things happened to them too
I think itās physically impossible for the PokĆ©mon anime to lose momentum
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
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 
Wait so
Isn't that just partially stealing the stories for arven and penny
I really need to finish the story lol
Hell the battle obsession is Nemona
All good lmaoooo
Iāve seen the āPokĆ©mon mommy issuesā and āPokĆ©mon daddy issuesā memes
Can't wait for them to swerve us
And they'll make Riko the granddaughter of Proffesor Oak or something
either way
Oak was the other possibility I had in mind yeah
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
Of course
Who else would have a famous family name that someone might want to keep hidden
How can they complain about it unless they are actively watching it
Probably any of the gym leaders
So gary's sister/cousin?
Dude was literally constantly surrounded by an entourage of women in the original series
Itās totally possible shit went down
So who replaces Pikachu as the mascot ?
I say Tinkaton, the fucking hammer gremlin
Pikachu will still be the mascot
Eevee, please šš»
If ash is done so is Pikachu
How you gonna have one without the other ?
Itās not difficult
What would the gimmicks be this time, like, Ash and Pikachu didnāt wanna rely on evolution to get stronger or something
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
was that ever really a gimmick?
it was more like a hasty random justification made to avoid changing the mascot
An all-new PokƩmon series has been announced!
Join 2 new characters and 3 Paldea starter PokĆ©mon as they adventure through the PokĆ©mon world! Plus, commemorate Ashās journey with special episodes concluding PokĆ©mon Ultimate Journeys: The Series.
Coming soon in 2023 and beyond!

Not really, i just donāt have the better word for it 
I still hope weāll get to sometime see Ash in some ways as the anime goes on š
I quite like the theory that Ash is the new protagās father
I think if she is his daughter, itās inevitable
Given the bio Iāve seen explicitly states she doesnāt like talking about her family, and she outright refuses to give her last name to anyone that isnāt an academy professor
(And that sheās from kanto)
Now that I think about it, if I want more Ash moments, I can just watch the 1300+ episodes over the years 
Thinking twice on BWā¦
I saw people saying Serena, the blue eyes
if the family tradition holds strong
a female mr mime
Nah it finna be Latias didn't you watch the movie
Galarian Mr Mime maybe
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
are they suggesting that Will is Lorelei?
yes

the theory is that they have the same colour palette
therefore they are the same person
I still never buy the Will is Lorelei
i guess Specials doesn't really count towards in-game canon
but even then this is a gigantic leap
will you settle for "will is a trans man"
I will settle for that
With ash gone wtf is team rocket gonna do ? Just try and steal fuecoco or something?
because i don't believe the lorelei one but the will is trans bit is a cute headcanon imo
No more Team Rocket 
They ||got promoted to rocket admins||
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"
Something something Maushold
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
giovanni should just sponsor a trip to Alola, Kalos and Galar for his most talented grunts
and they said "the best part is that all three of them could sing any part"
guaranteed team Rocket will be 100x more threatening
and it's true
I almost agree.
Except for Meowth singing CPR
dude learned english out of horni
i do lowkey hope there is an episode of this special dedicated specifically to team rocket
30% of the season being āthe little maus lost in the wild and searching for themā filler 
Wait hold on you mightve did something
Yeah, but he isn't crass in regards to love
Hmm?
He thinks of himself as this romantic doing wild gestures
As in that's low key a good idea lol I could picture that š
true
Ah lol
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
If the girl actually is his kid, it could be a neat arc of trying to be her own person
Nah man, next 25 years of this kid often triggered by people comparing her with ash 
Ops, didnāt mean to ping
All good lol
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
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
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"
Every battle she has is a Baton Pass chain 
So, Landorus
Air š electric tera type shedinja
wait, the new anime HAS A NEW PROTAG?!
Hey Summer 
Hey, I just woke up
New protag that's possibly ash's kid
And he's gonna visit butterfree and some other old mons
I wonder if we'll see the game characters, cause this will be a weird one if so
But is the pichu a random pichu that ain't battling or is pikachu gonna have a kid too lmao
It's been like a decade and a few years and I'm still pissed they made Pikachu forget volt tackle
Itās a Pikachu that got crowned as the strongest, the rat got charm 
so decided to work my way up for the suspect test and...
god i forgot how bad people in low ladder are
Probably the same people wanting tera banned
its the child of Ash's two pikachus 
will they do the kids show thing where the previous protag is an adult and makes a cameo or something maybe as a mentor or as a character's parent
PokƩmon Legend Arceus anime 
legends arceus is an isekai
the character design looking pretty good
They'll probably use initial reception to the new anime as the bar, if it's doing good they'll hold off on it, if it's doing bad they'll throw in an ash cameo
Hmm, blue protag get duck, red protag get coco, who gets the gatito 
Do they have the balls to use the season 1 opening theme in the final episode's end credits ?
I may actually watched the anime this time
Sub or dub, if sub, āmezase pokemon masterā without Ricaās voice 
Or do you not mean the new anime
Pokemon finally giving us a female protagonist instead of the same protag we've watched for the past entirety of the anime
I meant for the final episode of journeys
and she may be a fan of water types?
Ah,
So, we get different secondary boy protag every season, like Misty-Chloe 
Since sheās the Ash now
"You owe me a new cyclizar!"
What happened to the old cyclizar? Dead? š
You made it sound like the damage canāt be fix even with PokĆ©mon center š
since team rocket apparently gave up, who gonna be the new villian?
š¤
also
New protag, in the region with a school for the namesake of the series
Wait a minute⦠Riko and Roy, what if the chara that gets Sprigatito is Rei/Lei, Prof Kukui and Prof Burnetās son in anime
i want cyrus to appear riding giratina out of nowhere
Wait his name is Roy
and he uses a Fuecoco?!!
Name, yes, starter, donāt know
Who happens to be a lot older than the protags if she really is Ashās daughter, and apparently her uncle š¤Ø
Or all three are same age but sheās not Ashās daughter
oh no I just realized
deviantart put your pens down
??
Oh hey, new Tera Raid event
...Annnd it's just a rerun of Charizard
Oh well, more EXP candy for me
there are always those weirdos who draw fanart of pokegirls, even the ahem minors.
I'd say tumblr, but who uses tumblr these days
Yurgh. 
This art is alright though
10/10
Hey Touya
Always for supportive mothers
If it wasn't for our mom, Koraidon wouldn't have became our buddy. Big respect
Spoiler lol
saaaaaaammeeeee
Not too big a spoiler, I'd say
Not a big secre that Koraidon/Miraidon loves hoagies
Koraidon gave me big toothless energy
Electro ball is meh, electro web is very nice in anime
Yeah, Volt Tackle for the longest was Pikachu's end-all move
A shame it's been phased out. Seeing it in action almost always meant there was gonna be serious damage
Pretty sure all httyd fans get that energy lol
I still play the mobile game to this day š
No joke 
I do wonder what this about in the teaser š¤
her ho-oh moment? She sees a shiny rayquaza
what are they cooking
They are making a new rayquaza that's better than Miraidon
mega rayquaza X2
Hmm Team Sky as the anime villain
Doubt. Seeing the two protags are just one half of Arven
Daddy Issues and "SANDWICHES BABYYYY"
we already saw a school desk in the teaser, so I'm guessing we'll get the same premise as the games
with the whole treasure hunt
We also got school plot in SM anime š
Eh, I do not think we are getting the SV cast unfortunately
Except maybe Nemona to randomly show up like Hop and Hau
question is though, will she catch the best gen 9 mon
Give me Clodsire in anime as long time chara and all sin will be forgiven 
āSinā corrected to āsunā⦠really keyboard 
This would imply that ash would be a bad father, I don't like the implication
Oh btw
Hmm, a protagonist character with daddy issues, she need to catch a Lokix, fulfill my Toku need 
and it just so happens emeralds are green
the middle on the light spectrum
also I wonder of she will use lokix on her team?
Hey not my fault her official profile says so
Not specifically
Just that she doesn't want people knowing her last name and that her dad is famous I think
Ah
how to make a good character 101:
- Have them have daddy issues
- Repeat step 1
As seen from such of the greatest characters of all time
Boruto
Thatās it, thatās where the list ends
Watch Kamen Rider, thereās a few of those thing in this franchise 
Is it just me, or most of these were in similar poses as their usually versions poses
Sandy shocks really be walking
Given the girl characters hairpin, I definitely think she has some kind of connection to ash
Wait something just occurred to me
Whoās 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)
Probably still Pikachu
Nothing stops it from getting a bunch of cameos and still being the face of the franchise
Pikachu has fallen. Now i, starscream, am your mascot!
Pikachu shows up not 5 seconds later wielding a gun
I imagine itll just stay being pikachu
Hard to even come close to that kinda brand recognition
Lmao, is starscream the best example of āalways the bridesmaid, never the brideā?
But yeah until proven otherwise Iām assuming the girl character is related to ash
Either him or Luigi
They might give the new story their own individual mascots, but i doubt theyll ever drop pikachu
Much as ive come to despise the rodent its just to synonymous with the franchise
Only other options are like
Charizard
Eevee
True, true, Eevee has some renown
But honestly nowhere near the same level imo
Eevee is like
Magikarp tier
So what you are saying is magikarp should be the new face of the franchise?
No
League finals in the anime has magikarp soloing half of nemonas team
That would be funny
Pikachu isnāt even bad though (togedomaru is the best one of its kind though)
Pachirisu won worlds, let em get some time as the mascot
The worst one is the one from the 6th gen I still can't remember
Dedenne
Nothing is worse than Pawmot
Plusle and minun come close tho
Guy barely changes despite having 3 stages
Dedenne the tooth fairy pikachu clone
Bro evolving is literally just standing up
I mean
At least they have a gimmick that makes sense, you gotta put em in a double battle
It goes from a poofy mouse to a mouse that will totally just judo the hell out of something
Pawmot is at least competitively viable
That's super cool. And it's adorable!
Fuck the rodents, lechonk should be the mascot for Paldea
Lechonk
Clodsire should be the mascot
Clodsire looks like a stinky pile of doo doo

How dare you!
Lechonk or Maushold should be it
I hope we see a bunch of paradox mons all the time in the anime
They were barely utilized in the game
Let the protag catch a paradox early on or something
God no, I can only hear āhey look itās uhhh looks at pokemon iron moth! Yeah thatās it!ā
flutter mane
Scream tail that instead of singing cutesy songs sings death metal instead would be pretty funny

Scream tail is also hella broken, game logic doesn't apply to the anime she is not going to spam trick room
Scream tail meets jigglypuff and they have a sing off
The entire episode is them just battling with their voices
bopeebo
A series without Ash legitly writes itself
bundle
Iron hands
Blease no bundle
Honestly, I doubt any of them get paradoxes
Due to the burning doubt that paradoxes might not actually exist
They'll probably have one of them get one late and never use it
If that's the case it will be donphan
This would be way easier to do if they just made paradoxes a mega like transformation
Tyranitar digivolve toā¦. Whatever the fuck that thing is called
Yeah but like
Look at your calculator and then look at your pc
Which one is better?
Checkmate
Iron thorns could easily be good also but unlike most other paradoxes where they just destroyed the one of the attacking stats to make it super specialized they decided to make this shit a slow all rounder
They forgot sand stream + AV covered up a lot of weaknesses for ttar
Btw I got it
New mascot has to be broken ass toedscool
Iron thorns would be good had they just destroyed his speed and special
And put those on bulk
120 on both defenses with above 100 HP and 55 speed
Scary af tr sweeper
Well you just said it, that sounds broken as fuck
Especially if the remaining 200 worth of stats went 100 into attack and 100 into spa, would make ttar actually unprepable as either a special or physical bulky sweeper
What other PokƩmon has 340 points invested in their bulk while being good offensively
Iron Valiant for coolest design
Eh
Fragile mixed attacker with an amazing offensive typing
Nothing very special there
Oh I meant aesthetically
My favorite ones design wise are probably brute bonnet and iron hands
Basically mega gardevoir and mega gallade doing the fusion dance
There's also a ton of stuff you can do with rmoon
Coolest design is the ones that donāt seem out of place in their respective futuristic or past worlds
So thatās either great tusk or iron hands
I could see someone making a robot gardevoir in the future
For what though? Iron hands at least looks helpful
So the worst ones are sandy shocks and iron bundle
By that logic
Iron valiant looks like it was designed solely because somebody was bored
C'mon, you know the answer
I
Iron jugulis also doesn't make sense
I get that the heads are holograms
But why
What purpose would that serve
doing random battles now and, honestly the moment my opponent decided to keep their pex vs my mudsdale they lost
opponent shell smashes with cloyster in front of my oranguru"
see the herb go active
press focus blast (have choice specs so I;m locked anyway)
hits
let's go lmao
hit 3 focus misses in a row
and my opponent decided to RQ
either she is getting an eevee
OR
give her a Pichu Pokemon co
or she just starts with quaxly/sprigatito and we call it a day
most likely it'll be Pichu, heck if we're right and she is Ash's daughter then maybe the Pichu will also be Pikachu's baby
Pikachu canāt have babies 
only if the mom is Dawn's buneary
is there a canon reason why not?
The mom cant be Buneary
why not
pokƩmon can ignore the logic
true
just introduce a new item that flips it
Ash's Pikachu breeding with a ditto tho 
Ash becomes a shiny hunter after becoming champion, gives a breedject to his daughter.
I hope she isn't ashs daughter
I don't want pokemon turning into a star wars where every char is related
Let her be just a fan
We don't know
in one second after becoming champion
People are speculating
like the picture of Dorian Gray
Ho-Oh shows up and returns the 25 years Ash spent locked in the body of a 10 year old
I love seeing people be disappointed by dudunsparce
Itās a perfect evolution
Let my boy ash experience the wonders of growing up, aka the s word
edgy gritty reboot where Ash is a deadbeat dad with multiple baby mamas
Now thatās something I can get behind
I always circle back to a theoretical "HBO's Pokemon" in my head as a darker live action pokemon series (like detective pikachu)
But I set it in Unova during Prohibition
Imagine Dad Ash, with all the mons from Oak's lab now living at his own home
and much like Yugi passing down a kuriboh to Jaden, passes down a freshly hatched Pichu to the new protag as she heads off to school
I just want our prof to be Gary if it is ashās daughter
Professor Gary Gary
Actually he would just be Professor Oak... except his first name is Gary...?
P sure the current Oak's first name is Samuel.
ye
He looks like a Samuel
If people want a darker pokemon they can just play colosseum/XD
the Pichu being ash's pikachu's kid would mean it has a shitload of power but its body can't handle it
Very shonen
Gary Gary is a youtube reference
first name mario last name mario

probably the best showing of choice band adamant tera dragon baxcalibur
252+ Atk Choice Band Tera Dragon Baxcalibur Glaive Rush vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Toxapex: 258-304 (84.8 - 100%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

@lucid moth @golden lance @maiden flax
So I tried to shiny hunt and made the right Sandwich, but when I enter area zero nothing spawns???
sheeesh
It was working as intended and now the cave is completely empty
Flutter Mane
ghost sandwich?
And a red onion, tomato, and salty hm sandwich
what time is it?
Straight up nothing spawns in the cave
Iām guessing Meowscaradaās in singles are still on protean?
all the normal ones automatically despawn if its the day time @vagrant steppe
BUT
if you get a shiny one
it stays
Btw still havenāt gotten a single shiny
Yeah it's protean
Why is saint rewarded with 6 shinies even though he hates the game 
flower trick u-turn play rough x
https://youtu.be/L1K7k8jgjck @vagrant steppe
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?
knock is an option
you are in the ideal time, night is the worst time to shiny hunt flutter mane
if you press ZL you can actually see the regular ones despawn in real time 
Guessing steel tera Hariyamaās not a thing in singles?
but yeah @vagrant steppe day is the best time to shiny hunt fluttermane right now
Still authentic poltergeist
Does mirage island wynaut count?
Choccy did you watch the game?
Authentic polteageist is the rarer
Not yet, watching the ygo stream
It's only a 1% chance for authentic polteageist as is
Authentic poltergeist doesnāt have the chopped teapot right?
It has a tiny little sticker under the cup
Yep
Now to get it to 100 for Charizard raids
Caught a shiny vaporeon but canāt name it grape juice, what is a good alternative?
violeta 
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
Someone had the same idea 
Sweet
Also i qualified for the suspect teet
go for either maushold
or dudunsparce
and attempt to get the rare versions of the evos
congrats
thanks
Lmao I did not know till exactly this moment that annihilape got gunk shot
Thatās a sick design ngl
Ninjask is finally good for something - cool concept art based on them
You mean aside from baton bass
Liked the design when I saw it, good use of Ninjaskās wing as the scarf
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1745083451-3bpwftp8na5lns8uxquxgqox3g0ygswpw tough game, dude had a super unique dnite
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between A and Ayoy ([Gen 9] OU)
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
okay ngl that dnite is sick, but man it probably needs a coverage move since it can get walled with just uron head
less that
more
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
That's a gen 8 PokƩmon, can't get nostalgia from those
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
The amoonguss one is the worst one imo
It's at least kinda playable, but the design sucks yeah
Sandy Shocks has both a boring design and is bad
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
Iron thorns is cool
He is, but he's BAD
Is it cause of the move pool, the lack of sandstorm ability or the less bulky stat spread
A bit of all three
Fair enough
