and something to note
It also made a|| hexagonal shield|| , havent seen episode yet but if I can find a place to watch it subbed I will

I literally posted the baby tortl already smh
mighty storm
I was asleep yami
pseudo goblet
thats like the third time i saw the turtle today lol
maiden flax
Betting on rock type
mighty storm
compromise, water/rock
cunning osprey
Given the symbols I think maybe normal and then can change
Also poor Cally boi
He goes completely unadapted in Journeys
mighty storm
it is to note terapagos is from the dlc that is underwater
pseudo goblet
<@430667447692034059> check out my OC
You got me 
cunning osprey
But his successor is a major feature of Horizons
outer eagle
isn't one of the so called unknown legendaries a world turtle or something?
cunning osprey
Yea
outer eagle
maybe this is related 
mighty storm
it 100% is
outer eagle
would make for a nice second time
a legendary has a "pre-evo"
i guess if you count Diancie it's 3
mighty storm
If it protecting her from Miraidon?
bad guys from what I've heard (still need to watch episode) that tried to take her pendant
causing babyturtle to come out and protect her
cunning osprey
Kinda funny horizons seems to have more of a bad guy faction then the Gen 9 games
Assuming these aren’t randies
maiden flax
<@430667447692034059> check out my OC
Wait where are you watching?

Yanma invokes complicated feelings in me
cunning osprey
What is the likelihood we will have the pons in Horizons
We know Terapogos will be adapted so he doesn’t suffer Calyrex syndrome
mighty storm
What is the likelihood we will have the pons in Horizons
maybe the ball has to do with the peach quartet?
I do say highly likely for them to at least show up
like as a movie
cunning osprey
Poor Calyrex

It's ver good design
Just, pink punk
bleak pine
Also, just having a Chansey and not going into medicine just gives off menacing vibes
normal cave
The elements don't clash, they build something
bleak pine
Seriously, Chansey that aren't assistants at Pokémon Centers are hardcore
Case in point
Though this was likely just an imagine spot
normal cave
They used to be absolute competitive beast
bleak pine
I mean, Chansey still is
normal cave
Not really
bleak pine
Fat arse, Seismic Toss and Evolite are still pretty great, though it seems it's fallen out of favor over time
normal cave
They lost toxic so now they can't do much
bleak pine
Oh, right
normal cave
Seismic toss is a much slower clock
bleak pine
Honestly, I believe that Toxic seriously shouldn't been something any Pokémon should learn realistically, but eh
normal cave
Also, p sure that's not the only thing they lost
bleak pine
Well, from a move making sense standpoint
bleak pine
Just gives the impression that everything can emit horribly poisonous chemicals
Or that
Ninja tech is fine
normal cave
You teach the pokemon how to do it
kind vortex
recovery move pp was nerfed across the board, so probably that too
bleak pine
Youch
normal cave
Koga invented it
bleak pine
Yeah, I remember Recover having much lower PP
About 5 to work with at base now
Oooh, yeah now that you mention it
normal cave
So it's as simple as giving your pokemon a little bag of tools to make toxic
bleak pine
The Toxic TM on the other hand very well could have been some secret ninjitsu art or whatever
bleak pine
Could also explain why Accelgor can learn it in spite of not being a poison type
normal cave
It's ninjutsu made by the ninja master
normal cave
So it made sense for pokemon to learn it, since you're teaching them a technique not based around their anatomy
bleak pine
Yep
...Admittedly, this is also a series which you can teach a Plesiosaur (Lapras) to shoot lightning and eat dreams, so I'm not questioning it too terribly much.
normal cave
I am questioning why they nerfed so many pokemon so hard
If it's balance, why did they make garg
Garg has better poison
bleak pine
I love how dumb the salt stack is
bleak pine
But it makes me question what the design for it's statistics are
normal cave
At least I can one-shot all non-tera water garg variants with wezl
And tera water gets smashed by golduck
bleak pine
Really throws me off how Salt Cure isn't a binding move, so you can't augment it with held items like the Grip Claw or Binding Band.
So used to similar moves being binding moves which keeps things from escaping
normal cave
It really throws me off how salt cure is a move that exists
One of the most spammable moves out there
You salt cure once and they have to switch or their mon gets fucking eaten
bleak pine
Eaten by salt. That... is a way to go out.
Jeez, way to make it sound horrifying. Youch.
normal cave
And unlike binding moves, garg is free to swap out
normal cave
Eaten by salt. That... is a way to go out.
Salt+water=acid
That's why it hurts twice as much for water types
And for steel types, since that combination causes rust
normal cave
Flavorwise it's awesome
Gameplay wise it is annoying
Purifying salts is also such an absurd ability
No status and a ghost resist
bleak pine
Garganacl really is a lot of cleverness wrapped up in, well, salt. And it ain't salt from Garganacl.
bleak pine
Historically salt was like, a 'pure' substance, I think believed to ward off evil spirits or somesuch
golden lance
It also wards off bacteria
Ferb, i know what we're doing today
normal cave
Hence salt cure
bleak pine
Just nuke Muk with Salt Cure.
normal cave
Ferb, i know what we're doing today
Salt preservation has been a thing for thousands of years
bleak pine
...Honestly, it probably should do the damage bonus to Poison-types as well, but that's really reaching when Water and Steel is fine enough
normal cave
Cured beef
normal cave
...Honestly, it probably should do the damage bonus to Poison-types as well, but...
Not all poisons are liquid
And remember that some poison moves are acid
bleak pine
Yeah, it would really be reaching, since 'poison' could mean a whole lot of things
normal cave
P sure you had some poisonous salt mixtures
bleak pine
Powders, chemicals or bacteria in the case of Muk
normal cave
You have arsenic salts. Idk what their relation to actual salt is.
If anything, bug would be weak to it since salt fucks them up too in large quantities, but bug is already weak to rock so they take extra damage from the initial hit
Ghosts because of purifying salt warding them off
But salt cure is strong enough as is
pseudo goblet
I’m okay with this, Yanmega feels decent
tacit sphinx
So, what should I set as my level cap for E4?
random stream
I’m okay with this, Yanmega feels decent
golden lance
So, what should I set as my level cap for E4?
I'd say 47
tacit sphinx
That’s an amazing Yanma nature
tacit sphinx
I'd say 47
bruh my highest is 37 rn

That's the level of karen's houndoom

Yeah his dwebble hit all 5 dynamicpunches and got like 2 quick claw triggers
so thats why the party was battered

Is there a move relearner or something to give me ancient power

Oh i changed evos so you evolve late 30s
normal cave
Ye
And a +spatk nature
You're actually broken
You even have moves that can abuse serene grace in flamethrower and tbolt
pseudo goblet
You're actually broken
In other ways for once 
Guessing Air slash would be perfect here
Serene flinch lol
Back to work…

Would you believe I’m not training in Victory Road

For gen 2? Not that surprising
I remember people training in the Whirl Islands back in the day.

The old one or the new one

The new one.
I think the whole game looks cute, except for the people. They are in the uncanny valley for me.

how did sharp beak aerial ace do nothing does she have filter/solid rock?

Good thing you also have CC

That's fair

elesa gave the tm for uturn

Half the team has uturn now
emma for scarf uturn, raz for slow uturn and crobat for fast uturn
bleak pine
You totally could just get a Combusken if you so wish
random stream
Combusken 
bleak pine
I know I did at the first opportunity when I first played Ultra Moon
Yeah, like, Blaziken is just my thing, y'know
Seriously. Just, love the kickboxing chicken
bleak pine
Yeah, the game just seems... pointless?
golden lance
Oh yea can you get speed boost vraziken in usum?
normal cave
Oh and the minigames
bleak pine
Like, it's a retread of Sun/Moon, but it just isn't very ambitious with what it does at all
golden lance
Oh and the minigames
Mantine surf my beloved
bleak pine
Yeah, the minigames are nice
normal cave
Mantine surf and ultra wormholes are peak pokemon gameplay
bleak pine
Kinda
normal cave
Like, it's a retread of Sun/Moon, but it just isn't very ambitious with what it ...
True
bleak pine
I don't think Island Scan mons can issue SOS calls, but Blaziken gets Speed Boost when it mega evolves anyways
random stream
Im gonna skip giving u-turn on you wezl
your moves are kind of important
razor shell for stab, icicle crash, sacred fire and bolt strike
normal cave
U-Turn does not deal a bajillion damage, does it?
random stream
It does okay damage
normal cave
Okay is for chumps
random stream
but since I already have three uturners you can keep your high powered coverage moves
normal cave
We unga bunga click moves
bleak pine
Yeah, screw safe moves
Go for broke
Always pick Fire Blast, Focus Blast, Hydro Pump, etc.
normal cave
I think my moves are high power but high accuracy
random stream
golden lance
We unga bunga click moves
Strong aura
normal cave
Many signature moves
random stream
Yeah wezl gets best of both worlds
bolt strike sacred fire icicle crash
Elesa battered us a bit
normal cave
bleak pine
There's a reason it's Crasher Wake's favorite. You seen the sick clothesline the wezl can pull!?
bleak pine
I know I ended up with like, an Ivysaur, Combusken and Marshtomp with Island Scan. It was pretty cool.
random stream
Ill give him eviolite
bleak pine
Evolite~
normal cave
Ill give him eviolite
The LC special
outer eagle
what's Zane again
normal cave
Yanma
outer eagle
oh lawd
who brings a Yanma to a gym battle
bringing a sack would have been more profitable tbh
normal cave
Someone who wants a yanmega
bleak pine
I mean, randomizer
outer eagle
you can get a Yanmega inbetween gyms
bleak pine
You can get ridiculous sets on anything and everything
bleak pine
Only issue is, so can the opponent
outer eagle
You can get ridiculous sets on anything and everything
randomizer makes this even worse
normal cave
Randomizer's scariest thing is that you have no clue what they have
outer eagle
cuz at this stage of the game you probably already have a ton of good mons
bleak pine
If it loses HP, it can KO it
Yeah, that's the scary thing on randomizer
Shout out to Golem with friggin' Poison Heal
outer eagle
Lando with Poison Heal 
normal cave
Trades 4× ice weakness for 4× grass and water weakness
At least golem has edgequake stab coverage
normal cave
Why is rock ground such a nuts offensive combo but it's usually slow mons that get it?
bleak pine
I mean
outer eagle
maybe Lando will get Brave Bird in SV
bleak pine
Rocks are slow and clunky
bleak pine
Just the usual thing you think of
normal cave
I get it but if you already have a few fast offensive rock types why not make a fast offensive rock ground type
Give me huge power earthquake stone miss STAB
outer eagle
cuz they need to be...down to earth
cunning osprey
I wonder why they didn't bring Go back for Horizons
normal cave
Didn't people dislike go
outer eagle
with Ash gone people will dislike every new protag i predict
cunning osprey
for a guy who was the 2nd main character in Journeys with a high chance of being the new protag... he just isn't
like I don't mind the new protags and how Horizons may be its own story rather than an adaption of game plotlines... but it does bring some lament that all of the old story and characters will not be addressed again
presumably
normal cave
I've only heard two things about Go. "He's gay" or "He's annoying"
cunning osprey
it kinda reminds me what Yugioh's anime did after the original trilogy
normal cave
If he's annoying, people wouldn't want him as a protag
cunning osprey
funny enough that they kept Goh's VA as the pokedex voice and fueco...
atleast JP, wonder if this is a joke that will be kept for all other languages
crimson moat
Didn't people dislike go
People mainly disliked Go for what role he took in the show
Which was the Pokemon Go character
As in most of his time was spent spamming pokeballs
Quite frankly I thought they did better with Go than Ash in Journeys
latent sleet
he caught more pokemon than ash kekw
crimson moat
Ash's team in Journeys was, like a few other generations, half baked
latent sleet
his journey pokemon team was also dissapointly short
crimson moat
Almost everything about Journeys was half baked and I think the reason a lot people hate Go was over how much screentime he got and how that "took away" from Ash
outer eagle
say that to any pokemon anime fans and they'll murder you
latent sleet
he literally had 5 new pokemon
crimson moat
Whereas the issue with Pokemon anime in its entirety comes down often to how much pointless filler is in it
latent sleet
and thats it
crimson moat
Dragonite and Dracovish also got like no development
Dragonite was about as important as Kingler was in gen 1
latent sleet
oh yeah ash has a kingler
crimson moat
And by contrast, they milked tf out of Lucario
latent sleet
forgor
crimson moat
This was also a generation where a lotta people were expecting a ton of rematches and never-before-seen battles for Ash and they just... mostly didn't deliver well
cunning osprey
journeys just felt weird
crimson moat
Journeys was a lot of ok to good ideas that were left half finished and underproduced
cunning osprey
in what it adapted, featured, and the inverse
crimson moat
The last 30 episodes of journeys was a production fiasco with 1 really good battle between Charizard and Pikachu mixed in
normal cave
And by contrast, they milked tf out of Lucario
Ok but lucario sells
crimson moat
Yeah that's part of what sucks
crimson moat
It wasn't that good
They also had a horrible schedule for it
The championship is 11 episodes long and it took 21 weeks to air
cunning osprey
like its funny they didn't adapt Peony (and the Calyrex arc), but they gave Rose a different piece of backstory expansion instead
crimson moat
Yeah they did almost nothing with SwSh's DLC
Outside of Urshifu existing, nothing was used from Isle of Armor
And they only used the Regis from Crown Tundra
cunning osprey
wonder if as a bit of a joke or fanservice the manga would feature both backstory pieces
crimson moat
But don't worry, we have 3 DP specials
cunning osprey
honestly with both backstories Rose becomes a bit more interesting
crimson moat
One for what people thought was for BDSP
One that was actually for BDSP
And one for Legends Arceus on an entirely different platform
crimson moat
I don't mind old characters coming back for an episode or so
But they were disproportionate in who showed up
And it was mainly on account of "Dawn sells"
latent sleet
i liked the change of paul’s personality
crimson moat
I liked how they adopted Paul's character, but it was a copout having him only use champion's pokemon
latent sleet
he learned from his mistakes and strives to be a better trainer to his pokemon
cunning osprey
heartwarming
crimson moat
Also in addition to not using the SwSh DLC, they also didn't really use much of the SwSh cast
latent sleet
heartwarming
indeed
pseudo goblet
close call from mienshao fire punch <@430667447692034059>
I want more
crimson moat
Like I think the only thing that worked well from the SwSh cast stuff was Raihan, Sonia, and Bea
latent sleet
in fact they only used the professors, the breif apperance of some gym leaders and leon
crimson moat
Well, they used Marnie... for one episode
and Hop is literally just peanut gallery for Leon
latent sleet
and Hop is literally just peanut gallery for Leon
just like in the game
crimson moat
Milo, Nessa, Kabu, Gordie, and Melony never show up at all
crimson moat
Remember when there was lore, on how Gordie and Melony had a feud over the gym
And we've had 3 or 4 different forms of media never do anything with it
normal cave
__just like in the game__
Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human champion and pokemon ace, Charizard is the most invincible?
crimson moat
Charizard?
The undefeated pokemon with a champion?
crimson moat
Generations special probably handled Leon on the best
latent sleet
there was also twillight wings or whatever
crimson moat
Yeah Twilight Wings did aight with him too
to avoid me shitting on Journeys some more
One thing that is apparent about Horizons is that we are still unsure if it is arc-driven.
Which, if it is, honestly for the better
latent sleet
arcs are pretty tiring
crimson moat
better than how pokemon handles filler
warm sky
I liked how they adopted Paul's character, but it was a copout having him only u...
Wait wym?
cunning osprey
I think they meant adapted I guess
warm sky
No the latter part
crimson moat
Wait wym?
In Journeys, Paul confronts and spars with Ash in prep for championship battles.
But amongst all of Paul's previous pokemon, he uses Metagross, Garchomp, and Gyarados only
latent sleet
idk pokemon adventure clears 
crimson moat
Electivire appears but does not battle Ash
cunning osprey
now I think about it gen 9 doesn't have a youtube based anime, shame
warm sky
Lame
crimson moat
Electivire is the only of Paul's previous pokemon to be with him and appear
cunning osprey
gen 9 actually has an interesting storyline and characters and they deserve more coverage
latent sleet
too bad the actual game sucks dick
but whatever if they can deliver a good plot its good
cunning osprey
yeah it is a shame how they turned out underbaked for whatever reason
warm sky
Gen 9's anime isn't even gonna try to adapt that though so
Wait for the overly edgy manga adaptation
crimson moat
Holy shit guys Liko just clipped through the ground
warm sky
I will probably watch horizon later tbh
cunning osprey
what you guys think of the theory Horizons is actually taking place in the future
and the characters may have ancestry from the old storyline
crimson moat
plausible. So far it's isolated so anything's fair game
I can just picture stories of Ash coming up and the fanbase being amazed over Ash aging at all
cunning osprey
oh yeah wasn't there this weird change based retcon
I think Ash in Advance once notes that he and pikachu were celebrating their 1 year anniversary, establishing that the past anime episodes took place over the course of a year, but Unova claims he is still 10
mighty storm
Just saw the latest episode of Tyranitartube's Diamond Extreme
||TEKIN NOOOOOO! You were supposed to make it to the end!||
mighty storm
ok Im starting to think they are gonna do the starter in the DLC area story
Only this time it's gonna be for both parts of the DLC
Like for the first dlc you pick between the monkey, pheasant, and doge, then for the second dlc you just get a baby terapagos to raise

It just sounds cooler than blocking an attack in a boring fashion

Silk trap only blocks damaging moves. Do kings shield and bunker do that?
bleak pine
I think most of them only stop damaging moves. I know that, and Obstruct do

Bunker and spiky shield block all

So how you guys think about Liko so far
kind vortex
i think 2 episodes isn't a lot of time to have much of an opinion on a main character
at least not for a presumably longer running series like this one should be
pseudo goblet
I like her so far lmao
And that’s me saying as an Ash fan
crimson moat
It's very easy to like Liko given how stagnant a character Ash was over his entire run
It's too early to judge the series off 2 episodes given pokemon's track record for keeping quality after its first few episodes per gen, but it's a solid start
maiden flax
I like her so far lmao
And that’s me saying as an Ash fan

Griffin is a Heracross
Heracross is an amazing mon

You get megahorn?
tacit sphinx
At level 54
So like
Until then the strongest moves Griffin has are
Horn Attack
and Take Down
Which does nothing for the E4

Yeah, it’s funny how Pinsir is more of a fighting type than Heracross is
Took RSE for it to get more fighting type moves

I’ve decided I’m gonna attempt the E4 when everyone is at Level 42 (Will’s highest)

After that amazing pull a few ago, today I just unearthed a Gyrados ex

Well, would you look at that! It seems a Smeargle wants to be your partner! Smeargle, also called the Painter Pokémon, uses the liquid that comes out of its tail to mark its territory with unique symbols. Like most normal Pokémon, Smeargle are drawn to people who are sociable and passive, though they are also known to also be exceptionally creative and playful Pokémon. They make the perfect partner for trainers who are imaginative and inspired, and love to pursue what they love without stepping on anyone's toes. My friend, this marks the beginning of your and Smeargle's journey together. Welcome to the world of Pokémon!

Well, would you look at that! It seems a Wishiwashi wants to be your partner! Wishiwashi, also called the Small Fry Pokémon, secretes a shiny substance from its eyes when it is in trouble that attracts others to school around it. Like most water Pokémon, Wishiwashi are drawn to people who are understanding and deep-thinking, though they are also known to be exceptionally withdrawn but generous Pokémon. They make the perfect partner for trainers who are shy and feel things deeply, but show their true bravery when it comes to standing up for those they love. My friend, this marks the beginning of your and Wishiwashi's journey together. Welcome to the world of Pokémon!
