ONLY 30???

Lets say I do 15 more manip before quits ey lol
similar vibes to DA, better odds but slow vs consistency but also slow
tho I Imagine if I can get a very seed prob better chance
still no clue for Calibration tho
@fading stratus bro where are the fake leeks
did you not see the leeks
supposedly ||you can skip gyms|| and ||game will have multiple ending depending on how many gyms you beat whether you catch the legendary when you beat the big bad||
Well yeah I saw those
I mean like
those stupid bullshit fake leaks
so we could laugh at them

real total real leak
gen 10 has ||pokémon||
doubt its real tho
oh yeah another probably fake leek
supposedly ||castform will get a buff||
this was old i think
but idk if you saw

damn I need to step up
reading is for chumps
if I make a sufficiently long 4chan post it's gonna be picked up by all the twitter guys like Light

just like the castform one
Ledian Evo which is bug fighting
he is now an anti-personel mine...
Ledian paradox form bro...
pseudo legendary will have an ability that sets a poison terrain
like in elite redux...
oh yeah bro did you see
the convergent mudkip from redux?
oh that looks pretty cool
the regional dex will be 144 mons and national dex will be 350 mons
or err
144 new mons
350 main dex
dlc1 dex will be 150 dlc2 dex will be 168
oh that looks nice

the poisom terrain

victory road tournament
Australia is wild wdym Chestnaught top 16'd a regionals

is that deadlock + pokemon
Terapagos lost in top 4 of Lima regionals
I swear this mon is biggest fraud of SV
pagogoception
Holy shit I just saw toxapex 4v1(with support) a team
Terapagos wins last regionals of SV ig
flumpty kills 100 million birds with one stone and caused apocalypse
why am i running iron tail mega kanga for like 1 pokemon that kang normally struggles with
Sigh i thought he was on pachirisu again
word
Wouldnt that make Caly Ice suddenly be Zard Y bane lol
I see only positives in this arrangement


Zard Y wins korean nats
Another one for ligmazard
it has won 2/5 official tournaments so far

I was going to bat for him before the mega
smh gork this is cricket and not baseball
cricket is cool because its the only sports nepal is good at 
We rank at like 17th or sth in worlds
but teams ranked 12-20 are equal skilled teams
cricket crocket same thing
Jim Crocket Promotions
he is waiting to turn into a locust
oh yeah gork where are you from again? was it canada I forgor
buy twitter blue
then ask grok there
Tho Im busy we should turn the topic back to pokemon lol
yeah
I think one of the next gen 10 starters
should get
||steelworker|| as HA

btw bro, did you see the news, Romania is renaming one of the parks in their capital "Donald Trump" because that's what the people voted for

far right going strong and getting even stronger since the government is unstable, polls showing that if snap elections would take place today, they'd be first with iver 40% of the parliament seats
ah
and the romanian far right loves the republican party
ah
bro
bro the guy that won the first tour of the presidential elections
was worshipping romanian nazi orthodox death cult leaders
they had to cancel the elections

and was saying water is not h2o

Seems like I forgot to post them here.
︀︀
︀︀I'll make the new megas when the new gen comes.
blastoise top 16'd korean nats too yami
Frick I forgot to post the ghost one

Tbf I was on ‘…should I ping Yami for this or not’
here's one of the more normal quotes btw
"How does the mind die. The mind needs to die for you to have freedom. Which means you must live in a state of non-mind."
You can imagine how the rest go if this is one of the more tame ones
Why think when no-think think think
wait let me grab one of his stupid water quotes
bro read one piece and wanted to make a quote like that
Think think think think think
"the nanochips from the soda enter you like they enter a laptop"
"The pyramids have yet to be activated for the purpose for which they have been built"
My mind is in a state of non-mind, freeing me from understanding what this shows
people think I'm a schizo
pyramid's true purpose
no, this is just the level this place is at
Yeah but what is that
yeah but people think that even if you dont talk about romania
its to put nanochips in people's body through soda

I mean yeah, I called myself grok
I made this bed myself
bro does romania have worlds biggest crack reserve or sth

you know how politicians have slogans
his was
"water, food, energy"
and the food was coming from "the industry of the horse"
umas?
bro
a television mogul
got sent to jail
in the "telepathy" dossier
that accused him of bribing via telepathy
Rigging?
they cancelled it saying it was rigged by the russians and that they will soon reveal the investigstion
there was no reveal
because
people just liked that guy
and he wasn't from one of the 2 big classical parties
like he didn't appear to be a russian agent

surprisingly enough
oh yeah and after the elections were cancelled his mercenary right hand man and his men hardened in the jungles of Congo
were gonna start a civil war


bro still has maples in Nepal
Lmao
oh and the justification
for why Romania is like this
is that
"the land is cursed"
because some are saying it's because
that when the revolution happened
and the communist leader and his wife were executed
they did it in on Christmas
you should've smh
I'm gonna curse you for this (I'll sacrifice 50% of my HP while you take DoT)
are you not a ghost-type?
purple name...

oh yeaj the pyramid bit comes from
a conspiracy theory
saying the tunnels in the Bucegi Mountains
are connected to the pyramids in Egypt

I am 
brian hands???
ayo is that mr hands?
😭
@fading stratus ok, one last bit
To prove how intelectual he is
CG claimed that Mihai Eminescu and Lucian Blaga were banmed by the government
(2 important poets, with Eminescu being the national poet)
not only are these 2 thst he claimed to be banned
on the 2 biggest banknotes
they're also
obligatory for the end of high school bacalureat exam

yeah, your future is decided by 2 exams
at the end of 8th grade it judges what high school you get sent to
at the end of 12th it tells you what uni you're allowed to go

Eh good enough
Searched like 3 different franchise to find gif I find fit enough
smh not a ghost gif
Glimmora died turn 2 against a bonemerang marowak but did insane damage to the champion's team
Same for tatsugiri, a draco meteor into the poisoned goodra, eject pack to switch, blank the draco with flutter, and then watch it fall to poison.
Not the mvps I wanted or expected, but MAN DID THEY OVERPERFORM

Hunter Biden when Deer Biden walks in
Bro when are you finding the gameplay route that beats every possible rng roll in gen 7
like it was found for platinum 100%

and like 94% of frlg runs
Extremely low chance the 4chan leak is real, but a ||normal/fire furret ||would be so cool
||Water/Fairy milotic|| would be stupidly broken, no?
Like unless they fuck with her stats she'd just be an even better wall and get STAB draining kiss
I could smell that Feint a mile away
Not in doubles if it has same stats and ability
||It was decent in M-A because incin was popular and its a very slow format and even then after people stopped using incin a lot it dropped off a cliff
looking at past water fairies neither azu nor prim are something to write home about
fini is goated but thats because misty terrain is goated||
I dont think it would in singles either
||half of the format just eats you alive and are you're neither fast enough, strong enough, or debilitating enough to dent stuff like the average balance team||
||prim's biggest niche is that it's a special wall that's not passive and you're competing directly with that||
||water is also just a very much centralised typing because the good water types are just way better than average water types
see: urshifu, dodonzo, dracovish, Pelipper, Basculegend, Ogerpon and so on||

@icy heath
The missle is very eepy
I’m starting the SBC arc of ZA and only now know how to use + moves
Faor
another poipole fail
@fading stratus @spice rivet Mind check if this could be correct
learned how I could check the Poipole I actually got
Check its actual Hidden power type(thought it was Dragon one)
Use the frame number and put it in the calibration for it to ‘update’, hope its actually the calibration I’d need for next run
Or should I have take the Poipole’s number and minus it with the frame number I was using
Say, I was using 153837, but the Poipole I got was on 134784, so I should do math and get 19053, and that be my calibration
Another Fail, tho this was just minor test run anyway
Finally starting Champions
another fail
12 character limit when I wanted my name 13 characters 
Summerstar is 10 character 
22 minute timer one, back to organizing my room

Taking a break
You know, I hope gen 10 gives us an Oranguru evo
Instruct is too cool to be on a shitmon
Give it 110/60/95/110/135/40 stats, a broken signature ability and fuck it first non fighting type to get coaching
oranguru was meta when it was introduced
not meta meta but like ig something you needed to prep for
equivalent of mega kangaskhan or gardevoir in champions ig
also this is a lie btw
BIG lie
it wouldnt even be second or even third non fighting type to get coaching
or even fourth
mew, cinderace, iron leaves, zeraora all get coaching
Mew, non legal
Meloetta, non legal
Zeraora, non legal
Cinderace, makes sense
Iron Leaves, related to s fighting type but makes sense
Okay but then especially so why doesn't the guru get it lmao
not necessarily non legal btw they've been legal twice
ye
@fading stratus they got wrestling journalists using codespeak to leak gen 10 bro
fr fr no cap
this espouses all the themes of wiwa
||worker like in steelworker for the ha||

see, crazy innit?

btw
||Hawaii is a popular vacationing spot, like we are tourists in wiwa||
hmmmm
what did Melted Tuna mean by that
||new goldeen evo clearly||
bro doesn't know about gen 3 having meaningful tier shifts even now

houndoom one kinda goes hard
korean nats top 8
probably the first delphox top 4 in official tournament
delphox is sick
ye I've been a delphox believer since day 1 of champs
goated mon
also this might actually be first official incin win in champions
need to check
Was this before or after Kleavor usage started taking off?
Sejun Park still playing? Goddamn
It was Monday
Kleavor usage was sat/sun
Idt Kleavor is that good
Just because stone axe is 90% accuracy
Delphox the new Pachirisu? 

The team was basically delphox or floette
Plus support
Setup your mega with nasty plot calm mind
Then yolo
Use delphox or floette depending on MU
Also yozz I do think glimm is better than Kleavor because poison in general is also better secondary typing than bug
Even if Kleavor gets niche moves like feint
And like I said 90% accuracy on your rock move feels so bad
Also base 85 speed so your Kleavor is always slower than opposing glimmora
Ya, I feel the same
But I'm just struggling with my Garchomp rn. Love how bulky it is and how hard it hits, but Its at like 132 speed so I lose to opposing Chomp.
Id have to see the calcs
But overall I find it not too bad.
Cant wait for M-B overall though
MB will be a lot better
Also, with all the Zard Y hate rn, Im finding more and more of my games Im not bringing it lmao
Just because the meta will be more than just mega Zard and things that counter it
Usually I find my most consistent lead to be Chomp + Whims now
I think the saddest thing about the current meta is as good as mega gengar is everything rn counters it

Chomp Basc
Gambit
Ya, I even have a flow chart on how to beat Perish relatively consistently too
Idt you need perish in gengar
Like if I play gengar I'd just play 2 attack wisp or sth
Step 1) Kill Incin
Step 2) Let them kill my mons
Step 3) Basculegion with the steel chair
Or even encore disable strats
Basc is a funny mon
It's the best Mon in MA
It'll be like 10% usage as soon as you import rillaboom
Also other good waters
Like dodonzo
Cant even joke and call it Urshifu at home cause its just hella good
God, give me Rilla and Ursaluna PLEASE
Mega Scovillain + Ursa might have to be a legit thing
Idts
I think it's gimmicky
I think Ursa is good even without flame orb because format is too weak
But idt you play scovillain Ursa
Because that sounds so bad to setup
Like yeah rage powder
But like
Ursa is so slow
After dealing with so much Sableye, please no...
But also yes because Misty Terrain on Grim was such a fun tech. Nice Scovillain NERD
But ya, anything to get away from the Rock Slide meta will be nice
Doubt next meta will be rock slide meta
I honestly think my current better placing in the Top 1k are solely due to me not using Sand this season so Im not missing nearly as many moves lmao
Thankfully worlds meta isn't just rock slide spam
Woulda made the game way less enjoyable
I found the solution btw
Slowass chomp
With mega stone
Honestly, it is something I've considered.
Why slow? Because even if you don't mega you want them to take rough skin chip so you can kill it
My current Chomp is:
Adamant
Sitrus
Eq, Rock Slide, Poison Jab, Protect
13 HP - 196
30 Atk - 198
13 Def - 128
0 SpD - 105
10 Sp - 132
Oh poison jab over rock tomb or dragon claw?
I teched it for the mirror/to OHKO opposing Whims
But if the calcs are clean enough, I can justify changing it
32+ Atk Garchomp-Mega Dragon Claw vs. 13 HP / 13 Def Garchomp: 174-206 (88.7 - 105.1%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO

30+ Atk Garchomp Dragon Claw vs. 13 HP / 13 Def Garchomp-Mega: 122-146 (62.2 - 74.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Flareon when
I genuinely cannot fathom why gf thought giving it 130 atk in gen 1 was a good idea
Although tbf idt they were thinking
It's amusing, since this is even more ATK than even Arcanine has
New pocket set in 12 minutes
toothless lizard coming to pocket very soon @pseudo goblet
Was Just about to check has it been a month or not since I quit Masters EX and Pocket, fr 
Huh, only 28 days
Definitely a lot less stress around lunch time(daily refresh) 
time to open packs
MOTH IS IN THE SET
@fading stratus raging bolt
turtl
does 20 per energy type on it
with 80 as base damage
the future swords to
LMAO SECOND PACK
and there is the playset
IMMERSIVE
got playsets of Turo and Sada (base art)
not bad for first 10 packs, 20 or so to go
no way
and koraidon, 10ish to go
@pseudo goblet toothless lizard
"World Wrecker"
Always with the very cool attack names!
playset of miraidon, also lmao future got druddigon 2
5 packs left
🙏 god pack plz
Oh hey, an instant KO card
I’d prob like to play Koraidon again 
@fading stratus how would Koraidon do fare today
While Im at it, any team that uses Rain WHILE counters most other rain team
can bump to 50% with Will
Like, I know zard Y got wins recently, but damn it rain is annoying af 
Waiting till the moment Rillaboom and better electric mons returns 
Well, you don't take a prize card for discarding something with it, but it does get rid of something
OH right, it doesnt KO it discards
So not even a cute way to win, unless they are being dumb and are on 19T deck
or you somehow manage to pull it off when they have no benched mons
You can win that way, yeah
Why do you wanna give an evolution to hell-eyes lucifer satan?
~~I was restraining myself hard not to mention again so soon
But, fuck, every time someone talks about mons of the Golurk TR team I faced I keep going back to that memory
~~
Golurk is a fraud
Wait until electric becomes meta again ig lol
What if for at with ONLY normal mons 
No pseudo, no legend, no floette,
I just remembered Excadrill 
Iron fist right
people are playing mfing blastoise for trick room
ye
but pre mega ability is hyper cutter
so you can intimidate it before mega
Ughhhhh at least Mega Golurk looks cool lol
Most Megas I like just can’t win meta wise 
Mood
If I'm using a Mega Evolved mon, it's gonna be something that isn't nearly as good in double battles as it is in single battles.
It's why Terastalization and Dynamax are just better
idt golurk is good in singles at all
just because trick room isnt that viable in singles
I NEED THIS
koraidon shouldnt be as good now
since it loses tera
raging bolt is the goat
Primal Groudon it is then 
Even then, still need to be better at weather war
one thing I like about primal groudon is
it doesnt necessarily have to run precipes blades
guess why zane
EQ? Lol
nope
Highhorse?
primal groudon is one of the few mons in VG which are great both physically and specially
Oh wait I mean tantrum
Ah,wait Earth Power??
Ah, not many good fire physical and still want fire stab
fire stab are good
heat crash is almost alwasys 120 bp
unless against restricteds
you can also run heat crash fire punch
this got top 4 in 2019 worlds
both finalist groudon were physical tho
Aight Imma reveal
So, the recent needs to finish Poipole was so I can AT LEAST start Kyogre hunt around your birthday tomorrow, but might not be possible

Did the math minus-ing the 315 day thing, and calender ed the date lol
You even confirm the date while I talk bout the date a while ago lol
its fine btw the thought is what counts
@fading stratus kinda fixed the Chomp speed issue
4 moves, no protect, Scale Shot go BRRR
Also, excellt switch from my opponent lmao
scale shot is good but like
90
and without loaded die
like if we had loaded die
scale shot would be insane
but without it

Fuck it we ball?
Honestly, its been more of an experiment than anything, it has been paying off too imo
yeah makes sense
I think I do need to drop Protect for Poison Jab 100% though
Oh right yeah 
3 days before Serena’s lol
Pretty sure Summer is july baby also

I cant do Jirachi hunt for your birthday sorry

With Kyogre I can at least ditch Poipole and go to Kyogre(assuming Wormholes work with me)/ DA 
But, I dont have Shiny charm yet 💀
Zygarde
![]()
GF please just release everything in WiWa I beg you 
In terms of locked shiny mythicals we have like what, mainly Victini and Hoopa?
Oh Zarude Magearna and Pecharunt
The rest of them got like came and sent away
The other rest were just annoying as hell to get
Btw, been doing Necrozma raids recently. Almost at 50 total Necrozma catches. Still the only shiny so far was that Togetic from a few weeks back
Holy
How many Lunala runs and shiny I got back then again 💀
136 
Coffin to Bat 
Sheesh
I want to say my own Lunala hunt took 100+ attempts tbh
But hopefully I get some sort of consolation shiny, if not the Necrozma itself soon
btw any tips on rng

Im on like what, attempt number 8??
Rip
There are some discord that focus more on RNG manips I can send you the invites too thoug
Maybe one of these, I tried Blisy’s server nobody really came to my rescue lol
Where did you ask in Blisys server?
Maybe try leaving and rejoin. Send me screenshots and I can help ya
Problem solved, Im just blind

Man I love this trend, countless interesting design
ah yes my fav
legends tardigrade
do you hate looking at cones?

tardigrades looking at cones is very pokemon legends-coded

@pseudo goblet btw here are my exact stats for the Necrozma rn
57 Attempts
45 successful catches of Necrozma
12 failed to catch/get to Necrozma
1 Shiny so far, Togetic
This is how I keep track
Mmm angry dust
How easy is Necrozma, seeing you not using path-saves
Fairly easy because it only has 2 Psychic attacks and Power gen for damaging moves. Steel, Ghosts and Darks deal with it well
Excellent, be back in a few
I imagine asking for a remake of Red/Blue would be massively confusing, but honestly
I thought about it for a moment and thought "Well, GSC was a sequel, but what if we went even further?"
Otherwise, if it's a 1:1 remake, yeah just retool black/white again
Zero Galar lmao
Site doesn't work on Desktop for me smh
I was considering it for best rival
I like bede
He's cool
Should also clarify that the SV pick for best rival was for kieran
Omg trash taste hardcore 
Yeah, games with a lot of characters vying for rivalry does get confusing with that bit
Cause you'd have to clarify just who you are talking about
Aight man where is your list
Imagine thinking Trevor is the person you are talking about in X-Y
What is there to list, I only played USUM, LGE, Sword, PLA, Scarlet and ZA

A shame
@fading stratus word me 
Also, favorite being Emerald
Even if I really, really think we should stop looking at Platinum
Btw Choccy how high is Arven in rival term for you lol
Pretty good
Okay thank god lol
You just like misunderstood af kids lol
Or kids with a mean stare
Something like this
Kieran is cringe ass baby
Ofc he is dude got washed and then put incin on his team
Bro's emo for the sake of being emo
If only Wally's progress of becoming a competent trainer was actually more apparent and more focused across my own journey i'd have loved him a lot more
Issue is that he went from 0 to 0 to 60
As it was you fought him with his 1 Ralts team at Mauville then the next time we face is at the Pokemon League where he is now already a gigachad trainer
They tried to make the player + opposite gender character ship more focused in ORAS, which worked to an extent
… suddenly extra glad I left this game lmao
But like they were still pushovers at the end of the day
I did like hugh in gen 5
Yea, at least you get to see them after lilycove tho
Not that i've gone through the Delta episode a lot but didn't it start with May/Brendan literally losing their Mega Bracelet to Zinnia?
I think it was legit everyone sans you steven and wallace
I need to find good copy of ORAS lol
I really wanted to give XY props for something but those games were just mid at best all around
Swear if WiWa doesn’t have Nincada, thats like the Method only I wanna attempt
What was it, Dex Nav?
Dexnav was the oras method yea
I thought it looked pretty and it introduced megas
Or do Brilliant Diamond works fine, havent open mine up
Its fine as far as it goes
Dex Nav abuse was funny with Nuzlocke rules
Me when i run around for minutes on end to wait for the correct Pokemon cry
That's the thing i find ORAS prettier 
Breaking my chain of 50+ bc i tapped the stick too far
And that's just in same gen

Btw I do not wanna do masuda for Nincada in SwSh 
I meant the region itself
But fairs
Kalos does have a lot of variety in aesthetics i can give it that
Also for pokemon standards the amount of shit you could do in lumiose was pretty sick
Lumiose still kinda annoys me a bit til today due to how navigationally confusing it can be
Still true to today lol
I like to explore every nook and cranny so whenever i stumble upon some backside path that leads to nowhere it's frustrating
doesnt get better in za despite having 600 quick travel points
Have yall try finding the correct nature mints npc without internet help 
They fucking split the nature mints into like 4-6 stores

Pretty sure those were only there for the emma quest
Its hell, yes
Also the first thing they tell you when you enter a fashion store is calling you dripless, sauceless and cloutless 
Forcing me out of my fit and redoing the buttons after mission is done 
God I havent even touch the dlc and the side missions much
Getting gated out of the entire second half of the city when you first arrive with the security guard calling blackout or whatever while you can literally see NPCs moving behind him with lights still on 
Ngl i kinda miss supertraining sometimes
The game blocks you travelling too far back???
Not often, but sometimes
In XY it blocks you from traveling too far in any direction when you first entered Lumiose
Oh xy, okay
And the stupid part is that for how huge Lumiose is, it functionally has 0 main story importance in XY
I guess you can count the Team Flare cafe but that's about it
In terms of explorable space prolly yeah
While doesn’t lag you to death
About the one place that actually rivals it is Castelia City, but the avenues that line the city there are at least simple to navigate
are we still talking about rivals
No
Hating/loving luminose
Castelia has 4 branching paths (5 if you count the Sewers) that all converge into 1 and that's about it
For some reason
I'm unsure of the actual population and size of each city in-universe, although if that was the case Castelia City would probably be the largest bar none
Lumiose has a bunch of back alleys and mid-split sections everywhere
XY had some goated rivals because only thing I remember is serena spamming same mons again and again or the rest of trio's only notable appearance being the bridge battle
It's basically just like Paris when you think about it
Exploring it is a nightmare
The streets just are mind-bogglingly twisty
But at least they are walkable. Imagine how many cars would be lining Castelia City
God the dance is shit 
Looping animation!
I remember Shauna trying to tag along in the penultimate fight vs Team Flare and be like "Girl are you contributing something or not?"

liceandre was also annoying ngl
At least that's more than Trevor and whoever the other one is
since you needed to beat him thrice
How does the Dr. Octopus-esque device help him battle, exactly?
I mean, it's cool and all but
it makes him worse
Why

Like he wasn't even trying to be theatric like Ghetsis
Ngl I really thought he was just going to be conflicted about thinking about if what he is doing is right
Man was just naturally cringe
...Turns out, at that point, nope, he very well is going to stay his course.
Shame, really
||Nevermind the fact he's very much alive by the end of it all||
bro I swear liceandre and diantha had some kind of affair
They should have
Sudden question, which trainer we get to face against the most??? rechallenges dont count
So like, Red in GSC, HGSS, USUM and LGPE counts 4 points for Red the trainer
blue
Blue
Huh
Blue, definitely
Guy's been everywhere practically
if you count post game champion fight you fight blue 9 times in FRLG
Even if we count like, Giovanni gets two from gen 1 since fought twice
I think you fight hugh like 7 times
Non rival it would probably be cynthia
You have dppt, bdsp, bw2 (house), bw2 (PWT), and the battle tree
how many times do you fight red
These times
Blue has all of those + the gen 1 games and pwt
honestly probs gio
Red has Mt.Silver, PWT and Battle Tree only i think?
you fight giovanni like a lot
is Morimoto
You fight her 13 times due to missions
Gamefreak Nishino and Morimoto
...I actually dunno how many games there are where you get a chance to battle with him
And how much, but he's in a lot of games, and he's almost always very experienced in battling
In BW2 specifically he has a pre-champion and post-champion team
Is there even a gamefreak building in the switch games?
twice in world tournament
HGSS Giovanni is an event exclusive thing is it not?
and usum you fight the rainbow rocket shit
ye
Yes but it counts
celebi event
Rainbow Rocket episode really wasn't all that great in retrospect
Basically a boss rush
Basically just a side-episode
How many for Larry yall think, like, 3??
That also takes away from the main story even further
Should be that
Gym battle, e4 battle, and bba
Delta Episode would be what i call an "episode"
There was something new to be told that added to the worldbuilding and characters
I was thinking bout the staff review actually lmao
There was hype moments and aura
Meanwhile Rainbow Rocket only arguably has the latter
And exclusively the latter of the latter
Colress showing up was a hype moment
Forgot your shtick 
There wasnt a natural way to insert him into the convo until now
Shows up, says more technocyptic shit, disappears, shows up again, gives you a tool to merge gods, disappears again
Scary how he can do that to anyone if the machine able to
Gigachad Colress
Assuming not just AU people
Well, there wouldn't be as much data to go on by if he just did that to anyone, now would it?
I love the tidbit about how is alola trenchcoat is a portable fridge
It's just a self cooling system smh
Ok but do you think he keeps energy drinks in the inner pockets?
With his eccentric persona i don't think he needs Redbull 
Science alone is there to keep him running through the day and night
Do we know if Colress is human at all 
Do we know if any Pokemon character is human at all
The pokopia protag is one
While i do enjoy the idea of the Tapus actually not sitting on their asses and actually dealing with the UBs, it did kinda take away from Hau's moment of surpassing Hala when Koko just swooped in and stole the show
The thing is i actually prefer the idea of Kukui being the first time final challenge instead of Hau
Me too
We literally spent the entire game hearing about his past exploits and journeys
And he frankly built the League himself
I also like that kukui being there makes things feel more casual
Which i think fits the vibe
I really would not leave my life in the hands of any of these four guardians
Mostly cause I can't count on them to do some actual guarding
Bulu getting angry cuz bitches be shopping is funniest lore
Nature's madness has the same effect as ruination idt these things know the concept of mercy
Ok, Tapu Bulu is pretty cool though
Mina got Fini btw, if they made the characters get the tapu meant to they be Kahuna when older, good luck for Mina, she have to compete with Hapu lmao
Guardian of also z move animation also shows like huge ass tapus
They just spank you
The Fairy type is what sells it
These guardians don't have morality the way we humans understand it
Granbul being Fairy is the embodiment of "My pitbull named Princess"
Their actions make sense. To them, and them alone.
It's why I'd lump them into the same category of mons like Grimmsarl, Mawile and Hattena.
Rillaboom being the strongest tapu is fitting
Also the lore of the Tapus getting 1v4ed in some ancient battle by Solgaleo/Lunala was funny
Imagine getting 1v4ed by someone's Uber
It is sunsteel strike
Solgaleo is such a funny mon
Much prefer Moongeist Beam
Lunala is like insanely strong
Necrozma is also pretty because of ultra
Solgaleo is just the tragic child
Tbf
Lunala firing off a Kamehameha meanwhile Solgaleo's signature move is fancier Flare Blitz
