As weird as this may sound, I hope someone will dive deeper than the surface level presented here. Even considering the logo and the subforum name, people explain stuff like this away as edgy teenager, dark humor etc., especially because if you look just at the surface level you'll find an offtopic / shitpost forum, which gives credence to it just being a dumb joke.

If they started to dig deeper, you would find one of two directions: Either it actually has never delved into those topics and it was a stupid joke, or it was a proper Nazi forum. But as it stands now, people will ignore it for a few years until someone brings it up again, and nothing has changed.

(I have lived through the early internet times, and it is horrible to me how easy it is for people to explain away these things, hence why I like it when someone tries to uncover it even further.)

Man, Spinda has it rough

The whole uniqueness it has also means it just rarely if ever shows up anymore

Got to thinking about it after seeing a horde battle involving entirely Spinda, and I just thought "Man, Ruby/Sapphire was so cool"

Really makes me wish they released that instead of FireRed/Leafgreen on Switch instead

[hasty anchor]

One thing I've noticed with Mega Skarmory is that it loses points in its base DEF. Which I think is actually a pretty cool way to go about it.

Instead it gains a much higher bonus to ATK and shifts from a very durable defender to a high ATK striker.

I imagine using it in a usual turn-based battle will be very tricky, since its very popular for something it's been doing since 2000, but it could be a very potent surprise.

Moot on anime news

|| Recently obtained Gaiachads exclusive: Pokemon Horizons has been extended for the forseeable future beyond the intended three year run time, by at LEAST a year.

The next arc will feature a lot of SV content that’s been passed by so far, such as certain Pokemon, as well as cameos from other aspects of the franchise.

The next anime has been delayed due to significant preproduction problems. (This is why HZ got renewed) It’s a very ambitious project which is more likely to leave older fans satisfied.||

[fading stratus]

Galatian moltres is basically the most toxic team

The team uses booster speed flutter to thunder wave opposing team

Then spam fiery wrath with moltres/rock slide with harcanine to para flinch them to death

Also since goltres is so bulky it usually survives their atk and gets boost with berserk

Also harcanine flutter and goltres cover each others weakness pretty well

Goltres resists ghost and is immune to ground

While harcanine resists fairy

And flutter is immune to fighting

[warm sky]

Basically

Also in above clip Marco raged because goltres survived on 1HP from rockpon cudgel and fired specs berserk boosted fiery wrath

[hasty anchor]

...I know there's a lot of these joke facts, but knowing that Scyther has gotten much better results in battles than Scizor or Kleavor is astonishing

[swift jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/officer-jenny-gif-13529016391151290826

[normal cave]

They all have the same base stat total, so they're more like sidegrades to each other. Scyther is faster and therefore has a faster tailwind, gets eviolite, and even gets steadfast to fuck with Incineroar

Also scyther dies less hard to fire moves and is immune to ground, while its evos are both neutral to ground

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, all this time though, I kept having others tell me that Scyther is terrible.

And for the life of me I thought "that can't be true!"

[normal cave]

Scyther is a meta call

110 attack is not useless, its speed stat is decent, it has tools

Its typing is horrendous defensively and mediocre offensively

So it's certainly not clearly superior to any of its evos

Scizor having 20 more attack and technician bullet punch is relevant, as is its great defensive typing and superior bulk (only one weakness baybee)

[hasty anchor]

It's certainly better than being "terrible"

[sonic inlet]

Erm

Surely they could have designed it better

[frosty ledge]

I'm so confused as to what that was even meant for even

[normal cave]

Why it like that

What the fuck is wrong with them

[hasty anchor]

Well, everyone was sticking their head inside of a Gengar's mouth. Leave it to designers to have people put their hands inside Sandygast's mouth.

...Also, ew

Why is it like this, yuck.

[pseudo goblet]

this is like the second time I see discord reacts to this in the last weeks lol

and the plush been out for months

[golden lance]

I've heard of building expectations for a big announcement but this is something else

[pseudo goblet]

Omg no mystery dungeon

[fading stratus]

Oh boy presents is today

[pseudo goblet]

I just remembered I have company dinner at 7 pm tonight

[hasty anchor]

Oh shoot it is?

[fading stratus]

timezones

europe doesnt exist before bun asks

[icy heath]

Just tell them you need to go to a birthday of an old friend (bolt)

[icy heath]

I wouldn't have asked because I know what time it is, I just need to post something in discord then I'll know

Also if I want to know the date I just need to scroll up a bit

[last musk]

Got my bingo ready

My bottom row is a strong contender

[hasty anchor]

Oh right, Aardman is working on a animated series.

That sounds pretty neat

https://tenor.com/view/gromit-wallace-and-gromit-gif-13329524387988269367

[hasty anchor]

It's also called Pokopia. No relation to that place in Battle Revolution!

[pseudo goblet]

What time the present start? 10 pm for me??

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

Did you actually cancel

[warm sky]

https://youtube.com/shorts/R5ptRAnnDxo?si=yA_TfJCRPbvYipj8

[pseudo goblet]

I’d be missing it yeah, but mmm mmm ya know lol

[pseudo goblet]

Besides, they didnt know my reason for the day off, so they wouldnt know whats so important, me attending the dinner would slim the guesses down lol

Although I still might second thoughts

[midnight spear]

who is ready for the pokemon presents

[pseudo goblet]

2 more hours

[mighty storm]

So ready!

[fading stratus]

Oh boy half an hour

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/mudkip-rubbing-cheeks-cute-meme-animation-gif-8168618199391741277

good chance

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pikachu-mgm-metro-goldwyn-mayer-gif-27177115

[magic thunder]

let's see if the rumors are true

switch 1/2 now

phone april

[sharp kernel]

That’s what I’m thinking. Giving it a release date in March basically doesn’t make sense

[magic thunder]

oh

unless multiple people are faking it

[pseudo goblet]

10 minute now

[magic thunder]

grass starter art + model

art

[mighty storm]

Nah, no way that real ^

[magic thunder]

30th logo with the 3

[sharp kernel]

If that model was true, it would easily be the best looking grass starter of all time

[pseudo goblet]

Fuck me I almost spoilered myself by clicking

[magic thunder]

3d model in-game

[pseudo goblet]

Eyes avoided in time

[mighty storm]

Im looking away, and refusing this grass starter till presents shows it

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/my-little-pony-rarity-no-spoilers-spoilers-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-gif-22974464

[magic thunder]

nah what I found interesting is these are from different sources

30th logos with them + the grass 2d art is from one guy

3d model is from another source

so ig that's something

[swift jasper]

I like him

He's scrungly

[hasty anchor]

Alright, it's about time!

[magic thunder]

even if fake he's a cute creechur

[void herald]

tbh i don't like him

[magic thunder]

oh and at least a good effort from the guy for providing another look next to a returning mon

[void herald]

he looks too grumpy and not oomfie-esque enough

[magic thunder]

more effort than 99% of fakes

[fading stratus]

i think its fake

[pseudo goblet]

Now the countdown

[magic thunder]

I think it's fake because if the actual overworld grass looks like this twitter will kill them

[pseudo goblet]

The fuck is this shit

The water one is a sweetheart but the other two are ugly

[hasty anchor]

WHAT

[placid junco]

Those starters weren’t great but I only caught the last like 30 seconds of the “direct”

[sonic inlet]

I do like the gecko

[magic thunder]

yeah

[pseudo goblet]

B-but... fire zodiac

its now officially over

[hasty anchor]

As per usual, waiting will be the hardest part.

[hasty anchor]

2027 release, argh

[vagrant steppe]

They even have the same name

[placid junco]

The water starter looks like Temu sobble

[vagrant steppe]

That's fucking crazy

[last musk]

Damn

[last musk]

Wait kanto remake?

[mighty storm]

[normal cave]

Cheater

[last musk]

No tf it doesn't put that bingo line back

[midnight spear]

no it does not cause they already was a thing

[hasty anchor]

That was a nice direct!

[young river]

I'm surprised we're getting XD before Colosseum

[crimson moat]

Kinda par for what I was expecting from the presents but not much that interested me

[mighty storm]

in my heart it counts (we will see if the moot leak discord counts it)

[crimson moat]

This however is funny af

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, I wonder why it is

But, that's still cool

[normal cave]

Girl that's not a remake that's a resell

[mighty storm]

Pombomb WIWa version

[vagrant steppe]

They have the same name lol

[normal cave]

I'm not gonna sell you some pizza I bought from dominoes and tell you I made it

[crimson moat]

We have to delay people getting mad disappointed over Colosseum lol. Best hope is a remake that can patch things up

[last musk]

XD no longer 100 dollars

[mighty storm]

Doesnt matter, anyway, 10/10 presents

[hasty anchor]

It was really cool!

[last musk]

8/10 where tf is my mystery dungeon nintendo

[maiden flax]

im so glad it ended up looking good

[pseudo goblet]

man I want ZA Home now lol

[maiden flax]

especially considering where it s based on

[hasty anchor]

Wasn't expecting Champions to be releasing very soon, but it is

[crimson moat]

Never was interested in Pokémon anniversary collections for tcg but weird af that they might put cards from future sets in this one

[hasty anchor]

Wait, is that like

The 25th set?

Or something?

[crimson moat]

Disagree, this is being released later than expected

[last musk]

If they are actually reprinting the darkrai cresselia I need to cop em

[crimson moat]

Especially since they want to use Champions for worlds

[last musk]

And maybe e reader lugia

[fading stratus]

april champions is very weird because of this existing and we not having confirmed regulations for next format

[pseudo goblet]

guys Am I allowed to list the returning mons in Gen 10???

[hasty anchor]

I dunno if the cards are playable in official capacity, but that is super cool

[crimson moat]

Exactly like it yes

[fading stratus]

does that mean next format will be on sv still

[hasty anchor]

Oh, sure, make a list if you want

[last musk]

Also the new mew and mewtwo cards look mid

[hasty anchor]

At least you got my approval

[last musk]

Spoiler it to be safe

[crimson moat]

And yes celebrations ain’t legal for play, 30th probably won’t either

[hasty anchor]

-Oh, well, whatever's shown in the video

[pseudo goblet]

great

[hasty anchor]

Ah ok

Still, LEGEND printing

That's really nice

[pseudo goblet]

one sec, frame by frame gonna take a while

[crimson moat]

Skipping over Colosseum was the most interesting thing of the presents honestly

[hasty anchor]

I wonder if there was a reason they couldn't just release Colosseum first.

[midnight spear]

im waiting for champions to drop so i can start cooking up a team

also half excited for gen 10

[normal cave]

||no year of the dog?||

[mighty storm]

I LOVE THIS DOGGO

[hasty anchor]

POMBON

[midnight spear]

will only play it to catch the new pokemon

[pseudo goblet]

wait we fucking getting ||Hoverboard|| as bike now???

[crimson moat]

Not particularly excited for gen 10 until we get to see live gameplay

[pseudo goblet]

Sure but Fennekin have nowhere then

[hasty anchor]

oh no, Pombon's usurping Torchic on huggable fire types

AAA

[normal cave]

Fennekin is a fox not a ||dog||

[hasty anchor]

It's a fennec fox!

[normal cave]

Pombon is like

So bland

To me

[pseudo goblet]

nah the grass one worse for me

[sharp kernel]

Browt is the GOAT

[hasty anchor]

Just reminded me what this looks like

[vagrant steppe]

I can't believe they actually stole a cassette beast

That's crazy

[sharp kernel]

the water one is far and away the worst looking one

[hasty anchor]

Do you know of a doggo named

[crimson moat]

I can

[hasty anchor]

Missile?

[vagrant steppe]

Like the name is almost exactly the same

[normal cave]

Fr

[pseudo goblet]

and Im THE grass guy here

[vagrant steppe]

The design is almost the same

[normal cave]

The water is the only one I like

And I like it a lot

[maiden flax]

water rater guy would be pleased

[placid junco]

Those are awful

[pseudo goblet]

oh easy, Im getting Waves then

[normal cave]

I'm not trying to make you hate Alola, but it's my least favorite region by a mile

[sharp kernel]

Why? Alola all things considered is probably the best modern era region

[normal cave]

Finally something we agree on

[hasty anchor]

From what I seen, apparently getting down underneath all that water will be something you can do

[hasty anchor]

Which would be incredibly cool

[normal cave]

Shit's ugly, repetitive, annoying music

[pseudo goblet]

Oh hey we getting SV pokecenter again

[hasty anchor]

Far back as RSE, you can dive down to the water, and see for yourself what mons live down there. And I always thought that was very, very cool

Seemingly looks like we can do that again with Wind/Waves!

[normal cave]

They shove the hawaii so hard down your throat

[pseudo goblet]

just Nurse Joy and Pokeshop tho, no TM Machine this time

[hasty anchor]

Alola's great, except the whole "Hawaii" stuff.

...It just reminds me how Hawaii looks very idyllic but it has some major issues

[normal cave]

What is not hawaii there

[hasty anchor]

Like, the whole poverty situation they have

Yoo rock/grass ostrich

Gecqua can go wherever

Fire fairy would be sick

Fire/Fairy is a type combination that hasn't been used yet

Oh that name

[hasty anchor]

Which would be cool

[normal cave]

Not like this

[maiden flax]

what if grass ghost again?

[sharp kernel]

i don't see fire poison out of pombon

[hasty anchor]

Pombon totally would learn Play Rough

[maiden flax]

pretty sure most of the dogs get play rough

[hasty anchor]

Ah yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Browt become Rillaboom but bird and better lol

[sharp kernel]

did lycanrock midnight get play rough?

idts

[hasty anchor]

But it's technically a Werewolf

[hasty anchor]

So, doesn't count

[normal cave]

Rilla is already insanely strong please don't make a better one

[hasty anchor]

[maiden flax]

rockruff line is one of the few dog pokemon not to get play rough

[hasty anchor]

Well if it's gonna be Rillaboom, it has to stay flightless

That terrain only does you any good if you are on it!

[vagrant steppe]

It's the hair swoop and if they lean into "bomb"

[fading stratus]

Levitate Protean Bulletproof what a shame

[pseudo goblet]

Amogus but better and birb lmao

[vagrant steppe]

If they lean into "bonbon" it's fairy

[fading stratus]

I wished delphox didnt have levitate

[maiden flax]

nvm im mistaken, the rockruff line all have play rough

[crimson moat]

Oh right the other thing around worlds this year

ZA still doesn’t have home support lol

[hasty anchor]

Levitate's fine

[pseudo goblet]

oh Kalos megas ability?

[hasty anchor]

...At least it's better than Magician lol

[fading stratus]

yeah

[pseudo goblet]

what bulletproof do again lol

[mighty storm]

OMG Bompon has visible beans

Pombon*

[maiden flax]

immune to bullet moves

like aura sphere

and focus blast

[hasty anchor]

Bulletproof makes it so that ball and bomb moves are ineffective

[vagrant steppe]

Hmm I could see Browt being an ugly duckling fucking and becoming really pretty for its last stage @normal cave

[maiden flax]

oh right bomb moves too

[hasty anchor]

So, stuff like Aura Sphere, Sludge Bomb, and the like

[sharp kernel]

What if Browt is Grass/Dark

[vagrant steppe]

But that'd imply he's grass/fairy and I don't want two back to back

[hasty anchor]

https://www.serebii.net/abilitydex/bulletproof.shtml

[normal cave]

But I like ugly Browt

[pseudo goblet]

isnt Bulletproof the HA for normal chestnaught too

[hasty anchor]

There's a lot of moves, so it's easy to forget

We technically haven't gotten a grass starter that was also dark yet

[hasty anchor]

Also woah, it gives immunity to Pyro Ball

[normal cave]

Fuck this is actually Alola 2.0

[pseudo goblet]

Mayor

what

also he a dad

[hasty anchor]

Hah, 181

[sharp kernel]

holy, it's old Guzma, or w.e his name is

[hasty anchor]

P sure that's Ampharos' dex number

[maiden flax]

well no this is champions

[maiden flax]

yes

[normal cave]

Oh ok whew

[crimson moat]

Forget everything

Garbodor themed trash can

[hasty anchor]

That would be a neat forme for Garbodor

Just, the trash can instead of a bag of trash

[maiden flax]

pom

[hasty anchor]

[pseudo goblet]

hmm, Steel type Garbodor

[sharp kernel]

oh I'm dumb, I just realized that pombon is a freaking pomeranian

EWWWW

[hasty anchor]

Apparently underneath all that tuff of fur is where it gives off heat

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/heaven-fluffy-dogs-doggos-fluff-gif-18579617

[maiden flax]

i kept mentioning too lmao

[hasty anchor]

LOOK AT ALL THE POMS

[maiden flax]

yeah pombon is a pomeranian

literally a pun on pompom

[pseudo goblet]

wait, GENERATIONAL DOGGOS, CHECKED

[crimson moat]

Evolution should just be pombon but floofier

No other changes

[hasty anchor]

Yes

[mighty storm]

what type we thinking for Pombon?

[hasty anchor]

I approve

Well, Fire/Fairy

[pseudo goblet]

please

[hasty anchor]

...That'd be very nice

[fading stratus]

I like the doggo

[hasty anchor]

Staying as just a fire-type is alright too

[fading stratus]

probs my fav of the 3

make it fire dark type give it intimidate and fake out

[hasty anchor]

I mean all 3 really are nice, but

[sharp kernel]

what if pombon just never grew lengthwise, he just got more fierce with every evolution, just like pompoms irl

[hasty anchor]

POMBON

[pseudo goblet]

okay we need Ice Poison too, GF please, end it with the 30th product

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/adorable-dog-doggo-pomeranian-cute-gif-7703548

[vagrant steppe]

I could see them doing a "secondary triangle" thing with fire/fairy, water/poison, and grass/steel

[maiden flax]

they should make pombon's evolution even fluffier

give it the fluffy ability too

[fading stratus]

okay first cross for champions

[maiden flax]

just the fluffiest little doggo around

[maiden flax]

btw where did you find the abilities?

[hasty anchor]

Alright but let's point out

The Ledyba and Ledian shown in the teaser

[hasty anchor]

Are they implying something?

[pseudo goblet]

Way ahead yall

[hasty anchor]

I really hope so!

[sharp kernel]

Mega Ledian X and Y

[sonic inlet]

They gave Mega Delphox Levitate

It's over

[pseudo goblet]

again Sizzlipede YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[sharp kernel]

oh wait, is the assumption that these new games will have new mechanic + megas side by side?

[fading stratus]

new games will have ||za like battle style|| supposedly

[sharp kernel]

yeah but what's the gen mechanic

[vagrant steppe]

Ohh? With abilities and items presumably?

[fading stratus]

its related to weather

[pseudo goblet]

Aw man backstabbed anytime on ranked again...

[fading stratus]

||majin|| or some shit

[sharp kernel]

Are we also assuming new starters will likely get megas? If not in base game, def in the DLC?

[normal cave]

https://tenor.com/view/based-oshawott-moth-pokemon-monster-catcher-gif-17007711878810758710

[fading stratus]

i wouldnt expect

[pseudo goblet]

alright, gone making sis watch

even tho she dont play, or care lol

[maiden flax]

someone brought this up
no expanding force for delphox

[sharp kernel]

Sigh, I should have used my discount to get the Switch 2 for 350

[maiden flax]

cause of levitate

[normal cave]

ZA battles seem really bad for comp, but Champions exists

[mighty storm]

I do not like the new bird

[fading stratus]

yeah thats what ive been complaining

[normal cave]

Ah fuck are those Pikachus starters?

Both suck

[mighty storm]

Not a starter tier list

[normal cave]

Oh ok good

[mighty storm]

Just a tier list of the 5 mons we got shown

[placid junco]

Those pikachus getting boxed and blocked on socials

[pseudo goblet]

Is it just me or water starter all went kinda fem these last decade

[mighty storm]

Girl Vacation Pika is adorable

[mighty storm]

Sobble?

[normal cave]

Why her cheeks pink

[mighty storm]

cuz she can

[normal cave]

Sobble's final evo was pretty fem

[mighty storm]

I'd say intellion is more cool, given its the whole "James bond but lizard" kind of design

[magic thunder]

centro says the ZA starter mega abilities are

Delphox: ||Levitate||

[placid junco]

Ew centro
