[fading stratus]

vital spirit is the only used ability

oops sorry for the ping

:p

[kind vortex]

it's fine

my first thought was static rng as a hassle but vital spirit should work to redirect amoonguss spores and shit

[fading stratus]

yeah

also electroweb is a really good speed control move

and you get stuff like taunt helping hand feint

[pseudo goblet]

Wait buzz gets web???

[fading stratus]

yes

[pseudo goblet]

Great, now Im imagining an oni kidnapping someone with a net

[fading stratus]

mewtwo was like never good eevr since I started playing competitive

in gen 7

saying as someone who played psychic terrain lele + mega mewtwo Y team in 2019 format for a decent amount

Huh, realize I only need Hydreigon and Baxcalibur to complete my own list

[pseudo goblet]

300th Ledyba, and Im doing Falinks Outbreak

Interesting that little guys aren’t exactly hostile, spot is pretty good too

I might not even need a sandwich, takes longer but less pressure

Idk, theres a kind of good feeling from seeing all of them in one place, seeing them spawn on top of a rock like in the video, sometimes in the water, Falinks is cute

[pseudo goblet]

[normal cave]

Good stuff

[fading stratus]

electabuzz and magmar putting up work

magmar is confirmed t8

[pseudo goblet]

Sneasler got more use than Inci

[outer eagle]

any for t32?

[fading stratus]

it was top 23

but we do have full teams

https://standings.stalruth.dev/2025/regional-dortmund/masters

[outer eagle]

23 is a weird cutoff point

[fading stratus]

the tournament is going on

[outer eagle]

usually i'd think it's t24

[fading stratus]

its a;ll X-2 makes topcuts

so just eliminating resistance

[outer eagle]

[fading stratus]

its a really good change

9 incin in t23

39%ish

[outer eagle]

why is there one dude with 10-3 record

[fading stratus]

that's just going 10-2 and losing on a cut

it counts whole records

[outer eagle]

i'll prolly count the rillaboom and amogus later

[fading stratus]

its 10 rilla

5 amogus

10 sneasler

[outer eagle]

[fading stratus]

grass type in general has pretty good mons

with rilla amogus and whim

[pseudo goblet]

and Staple

except that Buggy one

[fading stratus]

yeah grass types are staples in almost every team

[pseudo goblet]

I meant Archaludon lmao

[fading stratus]

its dragon steel.......

[pseudo goblet]

It might as well be Grass from tera

[outer eagle]

tera grass incineroar

[fading stratus]

thats a joke that never gets old tbh

[pseudo goblet]

Sidenote, goddamn Ledyba officially hit a year worth, 365th encounter

[fading stratus]

"whats the best kanto pokemon?"
kantonian incineroar
"whats the best water type pokemon?"
tera water incineroar

what I realised this tournament was

sneasler sucks

but dire claw is insane

because it gets sleep 100% of the time

[pseudo goblet]

And~ there goes Bruial's heart lol

[fading stratus]

only 2 incin in t8

wild

https://pokepast.es/e34c2d79d984da1e

man's cooking

[pseudo goblet]

That is one interesting looking team

[fading stratus]

yes

[outer eagle]

that boom prim snea gamb + dragon core is quite popular

[fading stratus]

balance core basically

its dragon steel fairy core

alongside grass water

I like FWG core but dragon steel fairy core is pretty good too tbh

and sneasler being a fighting type is valuable but its mostly spamming dire claw

[pseudo goblet]

The implication of why Sneasler needed a move that can do three different status condition

[fading stratus]

and its 50%

chance

[outer eagle]

dude is just trying to copy porygon give him some slack

[fading stratus]

tera giving adaptability only 2.25x boost is so criminal

[fading stratus]

https://pokepast.es/388282dbab8536a1

[pseudo goblet]

[pseudo goblet]

Oooh Sitrus shroom

No. I wouldn't wish playing gsc on you, and I wouldn't wish shiny hunting legendary beasts in gsc on my worst enemies.

[warm sky]

Negative 10 euro

[pseudo goblet]

What makes you say that lmao, GSC horrible?

[normal cave]

Old and clunky, and you have more enjoyable things to do. It's not a bad game by any means.

[tacit sphinx]

you're way too used to like, things that reduce shiny odds

[pseudo goblet]

Yup lmao

Meanwhile I still have Ledyba hunt to do, 500 encounter and still none

Except USUM

No cuz that's a "real butt" face

You can have the Pre evo called Starrior (Star Warrior) while the Evo is (Starmy) (Star Army)

https://tenor.com/view/mudkip-dance-vibe-pokemon-pokemon-water-gif-17480027392366099515

@fading stratus which one is hoenn starter best mega, Blaziken or Swampert

[fading stratus]

not sceptile that's for sure

other 2 have their niches

I checked and both mega pert and ken have similar amount of tops

[fading stratus]

if you mean my fav then probs pert in mega sceptile in non mega

[hasty anchor]

Much as I like Blaziken, it definitely felt a little uninspired compared to the others in hindsight

But then again, when your hidden ability is Speed Boost and an entire battle community fears all that speed bonuses, then there's not a whole lot you can do to improve on that

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/kamen-rider-faiz-kamen-rider_555-555-faiz-yuji-kiba-gif-19525493

[pseudo goblet]

Ooooh, why

Whats Swampert’s HA???

I only Unburden and Speed Boost for other two

[normal cave]

Megapert has swift swim

[fading stratus]

yeah

swift swim

[normal cave]

Bro is like floatzel on crack

[fading stratus]

floatzel but good yeah

[pseudo goblet]

So, the better two gets their HA as their Mega ability, while my boi gets Lightning Rod

[normal cave]

What is sceptiles HA?

[fading stratus]

pert's HA is damp

[normal cave]

Lightning Rod is not bad

[pseudo goblet]

Unburden unless Im wrong

[fading stratus]

its unburden yes

[pseudo goblet]

Oh really, wasnt that the self-unalive deny button

[fading stratus]

yes

[normal cave]

Unburden on a mega evo

Damp's not a bad ability

Not great

[fading stratus]

its a bad ability

iits only really practical in like drafts

[normal cave]

Mm

[pseudo goblet]

Imagine if Damp denies all self-unalive moves lol

Like deny Ape’s final Gambit

[fading stratus]

wow zane learned about final gambit

[pseudo goblet]

Through the hard way

[kind vortex]

singles, blaziken; doubles, swampert

sceptile suffers from being 4x ice weak in a world where ice shard exists : ^)

but seriously, sceptile is cool but doesn't offer enough compared to the others imo

[fading stratus]

argor I checked and blaziken has similar amount of tops as pert in doubles which is really funny

[kind vortex]

i'd probably still give the edge to swampert, esp in gen 7

fast earthquakes into your pelipper who don't give a shit about em are fun, among other things

but blaziken should have a decent matchup into stuff like m kang at least

wouldn't want to run it against mence

[fading stratus]

blaziken also suffers from like

intimidate problem

[kind vortex]

tbf that's not unique, swampert also doesn't like intimidate

[fading stratus]

well yeah but like rain waterfall still hits kinda hard

even at -1

and it has good MU against most other megas

it ran superpower for kang

ice punch for mence

and well eq against gengar

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/cry-gif-22227322

[kind vortex]

m sceptile isn't completely incompetent, you can play it and do fine with it

its mega has lightningrod, right?

[pseudo goblet]

Give Mega Sceptile Thick Fat

[fading stratus]

yeah lightningrod

[kind vortex]

so it can at least serve as a deterrent that way

[fading stratus]

surely there are better lightningrod mons that dont use mega

[kind vortex]

there are

[pseudo goblet]

Watch Bolt says Incineroar with Lightning Rod lmao

[kind vortex]

but if someone wants to use something badly enough, they can at least try to leverage its strong points

[fading stratus]

like lightningrod itself isnt a bad ability

wolfe won 2016 worlds with lightningrod raichu

2017 worlds was won by lightningrod marowak too

but like having to use megas is kinda eh

[kind vortex]

i'm not saying it's good, i'm saying if someone wants to use it, they can consider working with what it has

[fading stratus]

fair ig

[pseudo goblet]

Funny how the Hoenn starter trio are the few starter with SPECIFIC spawn area

Treecko, exclusive to a grassy mountain top with no other grass mon around

Mudkip, exclusive to a cave system with only other water mon is G-Slowpoke- which is easy to avoid

Torchic, while I haven’t experience yet, is exclusive to a tiny cave and again, no other fire mon inside

[fading stratus]

also nah

Incin wouldn't be as good without Intimidate

Intimidate is so good that they gave random abilities intimidate protection

and even made clear amulet

[pseudo goblet]

Its like they knew people love three and make it easy to shiny hunt

Meanwhile, Johto is just big OOOOF

Chikorita, can’t isolate, need outbreak, and its Coastal biome so easy to find other grass shiny

Totodile, can’t isolate, need outbreak, you might find shiny Bruxish instead

Cyndaquil, LITERALLY the nightmare hunt

[fading stratus]

they need to buff meganium

so it'd atleast be playable

[spice rivet]

Come on Kalosian Meganium please

[fading stratus]

it just need a fairy typing and a good ability

[spice rivet]

Give it Friend Guard

[fading stratus]

friend guard would be cool

[spice rivet]

It works with its existing kit too as a support/screen setter

[pseudo goblet]

What Friend-shield do

[fading stratus]

your allies take 75% damage

[pseudo goblet]

Oh less damage, nice

[fading stratus]

except from moves that do set damage

like final gambit your fav move

[pseudo goblet]

Or Perish Song 🤬

[fading stratus]

perish song isnt really a damage dealing move

[kind vortex]

rad red gave it triage, which sounds pretty silly by default

[fading stratus]

yeah

meganium is one of the best starters in rad red that's why

after like meow

pre nerf protean on a mon like so good

and it even gets triple axle in rad red idk why

[kind vortex]

the dev can see the future

[fading stratus]

protean triple axle solos most lance mons

except like that bullshit dialga

i think I might've also had it banded jolly or sth

sounds similar to what i ran

I saw a lot of teams on double dragon namely dnite hydreigon and garchomp

and y'know what hits them for 4x

ice or fairy

Whats with Trick and Gold tho?

[fading stratus]

I'll give you a example

if you trick your opponent specs they basically cant switch moves

say if you trick your opponent;s kingambit while using swords dance now they're locked into swords dance

[pseudo goblet]

Ah, so it is just what I thought the playstyle is and I think too complicated like usual

Anyways,

[fading stratus]

once you play you'll figure out stuff yourself

dwai

[pseudo goblet]

Unless they switch out, hmm, so its possible I gave them better item- so, idk, Inci with used Sitrus Berry now having Specs Knock Off

[fading stratus]

specs boosts spA

incin doesnt run a single spa

regardless against incin why didnt you just power gem

[pseudo goblet]

Oh, I thought it was speed

[fading stratus]

I'll give you another example

you can basically lock amoongus into something like rage powder or spore

they wont be able to use anything else at all

you can play old set tho

if you're unsure

old set with tera dragon

[pseudo goblet]

[mighty storm]

One of the top water types of all time

[mighty storm]

Give the morpeko some rose petals and timothy hay

[pseudo goblet]

You might not wanna know what that fruit do

[mighty storm]

also kinda wish the guinea pig was a normal type, but electric/dark works to

Snuffuzz from the fangame solar light/lunar dark for instance is a perfect example of what I'd imagine a guinea pig normal type to look like

[spice rivet]

@pseudo goblet

[pseudo goblet]

I don't necessary even like Morpeko btw, I just got the idea and ig I wanted to mention the Helheim fruit, idk lol

legitmately like, the worse kind of fruit that I can think of after OP Devils fruit

[fading stratus]

thats a cool drawing

[pseudo goblet]

Shouldve do something else lol

[hasty anchor]

I do think it looks a little too similar to Swinub, but its a good idea

[warm sky]

MORPEKO NO

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda forgot I wanted to do Pokemon x Halloween, but somehow circle back to the idea, tho a bit extreme

If yall ever find this fictional fruit, do not eat

Whats scary that years ago I found something similar at a supermarket

Now I want a dark or dragon variant Tsareena

[outer eagle]

if you have a tendency to randomly eat fruits you don't recognize, you should probably eat them either way

[hasty anchor]

That's a right evil looking fruit

[pseudo goblet]

I will drop kick you while sounding gay af and speaking french if it means you re safely away from it

Floof pupper > scaly pupper btw imo

[spice rivet]

I still remember the story about how the sentai team really wanted to take PR Cruger's head because they liked it so much and they were amazed at its quality

[pseudo goblet]

That was a thing?

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah I heard Japan really likes the western versions of sentai

https://youtu.be/DGnAtDKOcx8?si=eeiN4FJXH2Ey7Cym

[spice rivet]

Ya, it was a story from a Power Morphicon iirc. Basically some of the japanese guests from the production team saw the head being displayed there and they asked to take it with them and they really liked it.

Shoutout Go-Onger Red for morphing with like 6 different Power Rangers cast members lmao

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah he been going around, A LOT lmao

[fading stratus]

I like the PR one better

[sterile verge]

Japan likes Power Rangers???

Tf

[spice rivet]

Fun fact: The Japanese dub of Lost Galaxy had better ratings than Gingaman

[pseudo goblet]

Maybe cause they came for the action director, idk lol

The action director, Sakamoto, works on PR and Sentai

[sterile verge]

This statement confuses me

[sterile verge]

[pseudo goblet]

Sakamoto pen work is easy to notice too

1. Out of suit- cast fight scene
2. Amazing fights
3. cat fight

[spice rivet]

So, Japan will actually dub and air Power Ranger seasons on occasion, usually using the sentai actors as the dub voice overs for their respective rangers

[pseudo goblet]

[spice rivet]

Gingaman was super unpopular in Japan and Lost Galaxy got a dub there and then you have the situation I just described lmao

[pseudo goblet]

Now I want Go On Blue voice this

https://tenor.com/view/power-rangers-im-scottish-blue-ranger-scottish-scotland-gif-26382850

[pseudo goblet]

Unpopular more like, at least afaik writing is all over the place

[spice rivet]

Also I remember during/before Megaforce there was a push to get Basco's actor into Megaforce since he speaks fluent english and would interact with the English sentai community.

Then Super Megaforce aired... Bullet dodged

Also there was some speculation that Kyoru Cyan would be in Dino Charge since also he spoke english (Japanese was his 2nd language)

[pseudo goblet]

Love the guy lol

https://tenor.com/view/kyoryuger-zyuden-sentai-kyoryuger-super-sentai-sentai-tokusatsu-gif-21430350

[spice rivet]

Ya, he was also fun to listen to on some PR podcasts back in the day

[pseudo goblet]

Canada-japanese man in a dinosaur show

[spice rivet]

Honestly a really cool pull from the sentai casting department

I also know the PR 2017 movie got a dub and release in Japan being marketed as Power Rangers, but I don't know who voiced the cast there, probably none of the sentai actors

[pseudo goblet]

How did we went from naming puppers to toku invasion lmao

huh

does it?

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/team-rocket-hidden-power-amoonguss-gif-14742774302475196641

Mostly the games but feels like it

[fading stratus]

lol

[fading stratus]

btw @pseudo goblet wanna guess what the best bug type mon rn is

[normal cave]

No way

[mighty storm]

btw @pseudo goblet Snom is doing good in pocket tcg :3

[normal cave]

Owo?!

Snom decks meta?

[mighty storm]

There is a strong meta deck known as Starmie Aggro and a common mon in the deck is the frosmoth line yeah. Due to it having an attack that always inflicts the sleep status, cheap retreat cost, and a decent amount of HP

[normal cave]

frosmoth not snom

https://tenor.com/view/disappointment-immeasurable-day-ruined-my-disappointment-is-immeasurable-and-my-day-is-ruined-gif-25049040

[mighty storm]

Well tbf, you need the Snom to even play Frosmoth so it still counts

[normal cave]

Smh joltik was out here one-shotting mega rayquaza without evolving

It doesn't count

Nah I'm just being pedantic uwu

Still, would love to see a deck of a pre-evo slamming shit again.

Night march was a trip.

[mighty storm]

But yeah pocket is a lot of fun, our first set is mostly gen 1 but it has a couple mons from newer gens like Snom and Bisharp.

[normal cave]

Owo

So it's an alt format ptcg

[mighty storm]

yeah

[normal cave]

Sweet!

Tbh I'm most excited about the trading potential

[mighty storm]

Steel type sadly leaves a bit to be desired right now not even 1 ex

[normal cave]

HOLY SHIT DRATINI

BABY NOODLE

Wait what is the energy zone?

[mighty storm]

In Pocket instead of running energy cards there is a pool that generates our energy each turn to place. Energy ramp generates the respective energy for attaching. So if I have meltan out I can attach a steel energy to it for turn, and then use amass to add another to them.

[normal cave]

So... you just get to draw a free energy per turn and run all gas in the main deck?

[mighty storm]

Yeah

[normal cave]

That's so based...

[mighty storm]

energy you get is randomized based on the energy you need in deck (though you see both your 1 for current turn and your next turn) and speaking of danger noodle, dragonite is also very strong

200 damage for 4 randomized between the active and benched

[normal cave]

That looks so fun holy shit

Shut brain off, spam meteors

Oh hello, no resistance, and weakness is only +20?

Okay hold on is mawile control a thing?

1 energy for a hammer seems pretty nice

But 70 hp doesn't seem like a lot...

Hmm, and it's active pokemon only, so it's too easy to play around...

Yeah nvm

[mighty storm]

yeah it doesn't do nearly enough to be a deck

And dragonite be crazy good

[mighty storm]

https://youtu.be/CX34b1s8G5g

apparently rad red dropped 4.1 update at some point in the last few months

do i even bother doing a run on it

As in the different species and not in total

@fading stratus Is Greninja still top 10 best starter for comp? Last night got a Froakie outbreak I saved planning getting 1-3 of them

[fading stratus]

lemme think

probably not

[fading stratus]

slther wing is banned......

[fading stratus]

if they changed the teams and stuff of all major trainers alongside the pokemonpool it'd be neat to go on a run again ig

[pseudo goblet]

Thought you meant showdown lol

[fading stratus]

in singles its volc because its literally banned

starter ranking rn is like
Incin, Rilla, Primarina, Typhlosion, Delphox, and rest

[pseudo goblet]

H or J Typhlosion

[fading stratus]

which do you think

[mighty storm]

Enough Chargabugs to form a bug racing team

[pseudo goblet]

H

[fading stratus]

why do you think its H and not J

[pseudo goblet]

Stab Shadow Ball

Also, makes sense, Bug type Amoonguss

[mighty storm]

huh, its one of the like known known archetypes.

[fading stratus]

we had 3 premiere event this format and Vivillon has 6 tops so far

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus you never told me you have twitch

[mighty storm]

and funny enough Raye fits for a charjabug

[pseudo goblet]

Think Raye will stay baby, idk

Her name makes more sense as the evos, but Im not I have the heart to evolve her

[fading stratus]

kagari for chargabug yeah

and Zeke for vikavolt

[mighty storm]

yep I can see it

[fading stratus]

a[sky striker ace - camelia]

[jovial goblet]

Sky Striker Ace - Camellia

[fading stratus]

or this

you can go like Raye -> Kagari -> Camelia

[pseudo goblet]

Are we just gonna name my alola bugs with ygo names

[pseudo goblet]

I dont mind if it fits, mind yall

But like, yall already got Araquanid/Aquamancer

[fading stratus]

then Roze -> Shizuku -> Azalea

[mighty storm]

plagiarism in 4 images

[pseudo goblet]

Huh, you re right, wonder where I get that ‘r’ from

[mighty storm]

monster in hand that summons itself after placing a BWW and triggers it, BUT IT SPECIALS SO TOTALLY DIFFERENT

Slugs and Bagworms and similar enough surely

why is there a grenade typhlosion

[pseudo goblet]

You never watched Slugterra??

[mighty storm]

I havent

but why do these two look oddly similar

(at least until typhlosion gets flamed up)

[pseudo goblet]

Look up other Slugterra slugs, they re friend shaped slugs

[pseudo goblet]

Basically, slug pets you shoot as ammo, and shows is cool af

[fading stratus]

this is what zane calls friend shaped btw

[pseudo goblet]

Yes

Mostly their pre-morph forms

[pseudo goblet]

Thats the evil version and you know it

[pseudo goblet]

@mighty storm Slugterra stories is really similar to Pokemon if you think about it

Rich and powerful villain using the fantasy world’s special creature as means to get what he wants, and a protagonist who loves the creatures and collect as many kinds as he can

[mighty storm]

true

[fading stratus]

basically what if you throw pikachu at your opponents to damage them

[pseudo goblet]

Tazerlings is cute lol

https://tenor.com/view/slugterra-hi-hello-hola-gif-10217459

[mighty storm]

dragapult would enjoy slugtera

[fading stratus]

yeah its basically dragapult

you get it

[pseudo goblet]

Only more interesting

[fading stratus]

but dreepys transform into ugly ass monster half the times

[pseudo goblet]

Infurnus’s is a handsome fella

@mighty storm Their own pikachu

But ignore me, Im salty rn

Last I check I was rank 9

Probably back to zero now

[spice rivet]

I just need to get used to the format and probably get a new team

Nah it only knocks you 2 ranks on reset

[pseudo goblet]

Oh really

[spice rivet]

Ye

[pseudo goblet]

Who did it, Archaludon?

[spice rivet]

Nah, just my team is hella ground weak

[pseudo goblet]

What team

[spice rivet]

Archaludon, Toxicroak, Incin, Basculegion, Amoongus, Pelipper

[pseudo goblet]

Ground weak maybe but DUDE this team is stronk looking

Even with outdated Sneasler

also your team kinda lacks a fairy type

I think your team would be fine if you added like whimsicott ape or sth

[pseudo goblet]

Was there ever a point its not? Lol

[swift jasper]

It's not good in dark regionals

[pseudo goblet]

Dark what now

[fading stratus]

darkregionals is the best tournament

[harsh path]

Do I have bad taste in liking Iron Hands’ design?

[fading stratus]

no

brian hands is cool

[outer eagle]

mon i win with good design
mon i lose with bad design

[inland gyro]

@sand forge but yeah what i was meaning was possibly like froslass, mismagius or dusknoir having like the data textures and effects cyberse have

[harsh path]

I just think Iron Hands’ aesthetic is just simple but effective. As much as it is just a robotic looking Hariyama

[sand forge]

Past Paradox Smeagle being a cave painter

& then Future Porygon NFT

[inland gyro]

yo porygon z that's made stable

[sand forge]

Being a really highly textured duck

[inland gyro]

or more unstable

[sand forge]

It's extremely generic, but just make past Paradox Magneton be lodestones

Or tie Paradox into the Terastal idea & have the stupid robot designs be special Terastal designs for if you pick steel, electric etc

[fading stratus]

that'd be cool

[inland gyro]

btw dek did you see me mention klinklang would've been cool if it was like a UFO orientation, that could've been a paradox mon as well?

[fading stratus]

but I dont think we'll get it atleast not until remakes

[sand forge]

Nah we'll never get it, this is just wishful thinking

[sand forge]

I'm not sure about UFO, but I'm sure there's some design space for Klinkklang

[inland gyro]

as a paradox mon or just klinklang in general?

[sand forge]

Paradox

[inland gyro]

fair

had the idea before of just what klinklang should've been

[sand forge]

I'm thinking something to do with renewable energy

[fading stratus]

engine instead of gears

but we already have the engine mon

[sand forge]

3 forms: Hydroelectric, Geothermal, and Wind

[inland gyro]

btw on this i honestly want a evolution for castform but like its castform impacted by climate change

[sand forge]

Assuming all paradoxes are from the same future, you could've had stuff like a Purified Muk

[inland gyro]

like the evolved form of castform is malevolent

[fading stratus]

I wanna see the robot that hydreigon fucked

[inland gyro]

lmao

[sand forge]

Gotta be a baddy

[inland gyro]

btw i mentioned earlier in another convo that i felt hatterene is one of those designs they felt like they tried to make you not like it... this is why

i didn't like seeing its body shown in the hair and then turning out as well to still be small lmao

[sand forge]

Is that an official design?

[inland gyro]

yes

[sand forge]

Wow, I had assumed it was like ribs or roots

[fading stratus]

that;s cursed

[inland gyro]

yeah nah it keeps its small body from the previous evos it just levitates or well stands with its hair

[inland gyro]

the gigantamax highlights it more as well

[sand forge]

Give us a cancerous Reuniclus, Poison/Psychic that's becoming like Weezing with multiple angry Solosis budding off of it

[inland gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-stare-100-yard-stare-meme-gif-251436459491629941

[sand forge]

Dark future Vs light future

Purified Muk from one timeline, Polluted Reuniclus from another

[inland gyro]

i had like a weird generation idea where there's two different nations in a region that had a past war

also like the two game versions had different outcomes so some locations are different and that's why there's version exclusive mmons

like there's a power plant in one game but its a ruin in another leading to different mons being present

[sand forge]

Give us past Paradox Dhelmise that's just a ship

[inland gyro]

tbh should just be an evo at that point

[sand forge]

Or a gigantamax

Another wasted design space

[fading stratus]

a[flying mary]

[inland gyro]

like its mouth is where the ship is cracking open just at a awkward spot to crack open

[jovial goblet]

Flying Mary

[sand forge]

You could do so much interesting stuff with it, and instead we get "Eevee but big"

[inland gyro]

yo that actually looks like it got a mouth on it like i described

[fading stratus]

basically this for paradox dhelmise

[inland gyro]

they atleast went hard with yaoi hands pistol boi gigantamax

[inland gyro]

yo a paradox dimension which isn't past or future but instead alternate sideways like fantasy

though yeah i do feel ship for dhelmise is more like an evolution rather than alt form

pull out some like monster house transformation of a ship

[sand forge]

The fact the starter gigantamax were dlc only was an outrage

[inland gyro]

WUT?

[sand forge]

I don't remember their names

But they were added in Isle of Armor, no?

[inland gyro]

this was atleast hilarious

[inland gyro]

i stopped at gym 5 so dunno

[sand forge]

They were also shit

[inland gyro]

sniper one i liked, idfk why football rabbit is just jojo posing on a giant football

also bland jojo posing

[sand forge]

I'm not a fan of any of the starter ones except maybe Blastoise

[inland gyro]

it felt weird they did gigantamax for them when mega was done before (marketing prob)

venusaur gigantamax looks like bad alt timeline mega venusaur but somehow we still got both

[inland gyro]

also part that still pisses me off with gen 8: the swan pokemon isn't in the british region

actually dexited out a pokemon which its reference idea is like synonymous with the regions reference location

[sand forge]

Yorkshire terrier missing

[inland gyro]

oh yeah that as well

[sand forge]

But don't worry, we have Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno again

Regional variants of legendaries still feels weird to me

Like I always assumed that legendaries were somewhat unique

[inland gyro]

articuno looked cool but yeah its odd doing variations

[silver vigil]

re: pseudos, I used to dislike baxcalibur but when I realised its meant to look like a suit I grew to adore the design

[inland gyro]

i didn't like the paradox dogs because like takes out of their lore a bit and i know its alt timeline but still weird

[sand forge]

The designs are good, the concept just doesn't work for me

[inland gyro]

this is like my issue with newer designs is they have the creativity but they do some ideas that take away from appeal

[silver vigil]

itd be weird if it didnt have those proportions if that was the idea theyre going for

it reminds me a lot of kanto mons in regards to its silhouette, which take however you will

[sand forge]

Future Paradox Mons should've had the plastic type

[silver vigil]

what really annoys me abt paradoxes, is all the past ones up to walking wake have yellow eyes of some sort

but raging bolt and gouging fire ignore that aesthetic choice

[inland gyro]

i find it really odd they massively overhauled the dogs but not the musketeers

like out of any paradox mons the dogs are changed the most and then musketeers do the same as all future ones

[silver vigil]

the musketeers all look consistent with eachother

but gouging fire/raging bolt look nothing like walking wake

its really odd

[inland gyro]

eh i more mean like the dogs they just totally change what they are but musketeers they went yep turn them into robot aesthetic

[pseudo goblet]

Holy crap what happened, I look away for 90 minutes

[fading stratus]
