Saffron right?

[past kestrel]

Yup

Sabrina is in safronn

[tribal gulch]

Is there something happening at silph co?

[past kestrel]

It's blocked by officer jenie

[tribal gulch]

what does she say?

[past kestrel]

The owner doesn't have allowed anyone to enter this building

[tribal gulch]

id say just find another way to get past route 12 and if not just search up a playthrough on how to get past, since i havent even gotten to saffron

[past kestrel]

Ok 👌

Thanks

Anyone?

[halcyon hedge]

hello does anyone play many poke fangames on steamdeck?

[tight granite]

i never even unpacked my steamdeck

[livid lotus]

anyone wanna play scarlet together?

(tommorow)

And if anyone has violet

can i have the exclusive

I NEED the shiny charm

[boreal storm]

Palkia send me a email. What should I do

[hard plume]

ooooooh you should probably block that

[austere lily]

i have a question if anyone could help out

i recently have had the urge to play pokemon black 2 redux but need the rom for the actual game itself to play it would anyone be able to send me the file for pokemon black 2 so i could play it??

[rugged comet]

?tag rule6

[ebon pond]

Make sure to follow the #rules!

Rule 6 DISALLOWED CONTENT: Resources to illegal content (ROMs, pirated movies, etc). We are sure that there are ways and means of finding these that do not involve a Pokémon Fan Game discord server.

[austere lily]

ah sorry

.3. guess i'll suffer by looking and downloading the wrong things thanks for the help anyway

[primal lynx]

lol

i was playing pokerogue, used metronome on my chansey

and it got fusion bolt against my rivals hoothoot

which saved me

it also just got psycho boost

[urban fractal]

We would need to know your Pokémon’s moves and what tms and items you have

[delicate hollow]

2024 has been a quiet year for Pokemon.
We only received a new Epilogue for the Scarlet and Violet DLC and some new updates for Cafe Remix and Pokemon Sleep (and a trailer for Legends Z-A)

[vagrant dawn]

love having the knowledge that every pokémon is someone's favorite bc wdym this is my favorite pokémon

[viscid pelican]

Purugly needs more love honestly. It's a really underrated Gen 4 mon to me

Also, Nyan Press is a goated move name lol

[next moon]

I think the reason people don't use purugly more is cause it's a version exclusive. Even then I played pearl and would rather use two of the other mid gen 4 normal types

[candid spindle]

why is victini so adorable

like fr

i love victini

[next moon]

Shame I'll never be able to use it

[viscid pelican]

Fair actually. Maybe if and when they announce more Legends Z-A news it gets a Mega. Preferably with Thick Coat as its ability

[next moon]

I'm gonna be a hundred percent honest. Purugly and skuntank are a very low priority for Megas. Out of the expected ones like the starters and underrated mons like Carnavine and Pachirisu, I'd say they're just below ambipom

[viscid pelican]

Mega Ambipom would go crazy

[next moon]

No legs or arms. Just 4 tails and it moves like a weird spider

[brisk hedge]

Hopefully no Gen 1 Pokémon get megas for once

[untold hill]

gen 1 mons boutta complete the megadex fr

[jagged inlet]

I got a shiny around 10 minutes ago out of the blue 🙂

[vernal garnet]

theyre boosted rn!

[jagged inlet]

No wonder!! :D.

So cool :3

[finite solar]

munchlax is so heckin cute 🥺 I love him

[gray vector]

Trading HAUNTER for Medicham

[next moon]

Interesting to see you picked the worst starter

[tawdry breach]

Snivy cool

[tawdry breach]

Still cool

I play for fun, not for competitivity.

[next moon]

If this was competitive i would say pick snivy. But it's not. And I'd say snivy is the unova hard mode

[tawdry breach]

So... How do I beat the Gholurk?

[next moon]

Water type

[urban fractal]

Half your team is weak to ground so that’s an issue in itself

[tawdry breach]

https://tenor.com/view/persona5-persona-ryuji-for-real-gif-24281518

Wait, isn't Grass super-effective against Ground??? Or is that just to Rock...?

[urban fractal]

it’s super effective against ground but serperior is terrible and virizion is a physical attacker and only has giga drain as a grass move

[tawdry breach]

O

I put Miracle Seed on Snivy evolution when I go into actual fights like the Elite 4, and I have Big Root for Virizion which boosts it

What if I spam Coil?

[vernal garnet]

i think big root just boosts the healing though...?

[urban fractal]

Last mon she has is chandelure which coil isn’t saving you from

[tawdry breach]

I had Cinccino ready for it... Or I would have if the Gholurk didn't have Brick-Break =I

[urban fractal]

But yeah your virizion would be better off with leaf blade

Then again if you haven’t done Caitlin yet

[tawdry breach]

Who?

[urban fractal]

The psychic elite 4 member

[tawdry breach]

I'm up to Ghost

[urban fractal]

You can pick the order in the gen 5 games from what I remember

[tawdry breach]

I thought it goes from left to right???

[urban fractal]

No you can pick

Anyway 3/4 of the elite 4 are super effective to 3 of any of your team at one time

The only one that isn’t is the dark member but he still has coverage for the swords minccino and never mind just your entire team

[next moon]

Also you're team is only up to mid lv 40s. You need to be up to at least 55 to have an equal fight. You're team is also not very diverse. You have 3 fighting types, 2 grass types and half your team only has 1 type

[urban fractal]

But yeah having 3 fighting types and 2 grass is not doing you favours

[next moon]

I think a Jelicent could do this team some good

[urban fractal]

No the second games is where it’s around the 50s

In the first each members ace is at 50

[tawdry breach]

Woe is me for playing by the Rule Of Cool law =A

[urban fractal]

Still wouldn’t hurt

[next moon]

Rule of cool doesn't win battles

[urban fractal]

Just get a hydreigon and max it’s speed and special attack evs and that deals with almost every problem your team is facing

Also your move sets are

Why

[next moon]

Or you can get a shear force darmanitan and make all your problems to a fine red mist

[urban fractal]

Terrakion has helping hand

[next moon]

That's what it has when you get it

That's not their fault

[urban fractal]

Coballion has false swipe

[tawdry breach]

I either have fun or I assimilate into the meta hivemind (All jokes aside I used A Level 30 Simipour in order to get shortcuts in the caves that go to the Elite 4 venue, I think I can add that to my team, it's just that I really wanted to have A Zebstrika, Cinccino and my starter, and I thought Legendaries are cool. Which of the swords of justice do I remove? PS Virizion is staying in.)

[urban fractal]

Tms are infinite in Unova

[urban fractal]

Well virizion is the highest risk with 4x flying

[next moon]

Virizion or the starter. One has to go

[tawdry breach]

={

Imma remove Terakion

[next moon]

Terrakion is the best one and arguably your best team member so you should build your team around it

[unkempt egret]

terrakion does have a lot more weaknesses but is also a lot stronger

depends on if you wanna keep a glass (ish) cannon in terra or a stone wall in coba

[harsh vessel]

hey this is a sword and shield question but idk of any other pokemon active server so...
Can dlc pokemons (for example litten) can appear to me in open world gmax raids?

[unkempt egret]

I don't think so?

litten's a bad example though since it can't show up in raids at all

I think if you were looking online dlc mons can show up as join options even if you don't have the dlc?

I know that's how it works in gen 9

[last egret]

Who is more evil: Giovanni or Ghetsis

[brisk hedge]

Ghetsis uses his own son to try and take over the world and tries to kill the player character, meanwhile Giovanni has his team run around the region like headless chickens

[last egret]

Giovanni abandoned his own son

He also operated in not one but two regions

Giovanni is the Al Capone of Pokémon

[brisk hedge]

Team Rocket only operated in Kanto when Giovanni was leading it. Also, he only abandoned his son because he ran away with his tail between his legs after he got his ass handed to him by the player character

[last egret]

Also Team Rocket was way worse than team plasma

Team rocket engaged in illegal gambling, theft, money laundering, racketeering, extortion, etc.

They also took over Silph Co

Meanwhile Team Plasma engaged in…Pokémon Liberation? @brisk hedge

[brisk hedge]

They stole Pokémon from countless trainers, froze a city and, again, tried to kill the player character

Meanwhile, team Rocket stole 1 TM, kidnapped a guy and took over a building.

[last egret]

Don’t forget the illegal gambling operation

[brisk hedge]

Considering that the Game corner is in plain sight and the game corner is still operational 3 years after team Rocket’s demise, I’m not so sure that was illegal

[last egret]

The game corner was a money laundering front

[brisk hedge]

Proof?

[last egret]

It also hid their hideout

Either way plasma wasn’t worse than rocket

[brisk hedge]

Considering nothing illegal was happening at or near their hideout, who cares

[last egret]

Although not in the game it is mentioned in the manga that stolen Pokémon were kept in the rocket hideout

[sweet crypt]

Ghetsis >> Giovanni, Rocket >= Plasma

[brisk hedge]

The games and manga are 2 separate universes

[sweet crypt]

Actually, Rocket comparatively to Plasma can go either way

They're both pretty fucked up

[last egret]

Ghetsis raised his son. Giovanni abandoned his

[sweet crypt]

At least when you think of Neo Plasma, I don't think most members of Team Plasma knew their actual plan

But I didn't play BW yet

[last egret]

Ghetsis gave N a castle. Giovanni gave Silver nothing

[sweet crypt]

I've only really played B2W2

[sweet crypt]

Ghetsis was also using his son as a tool

So like

Balances out I suppose

Bro was ready to instantly beat N up as soon as he stopped being useful to him

[last egret]

What’s worse a manipulative dad or no dad

[sweet crypt]

Good question

I dunno lol

[last egret]

The only notable thing Ghetsis did was fuse Kyurem

[sweet crypt]

He got his team to freeze an entire town with Kyurem to be able to do so

As well as commanding Kyurem to fucking murder a child

I think the most Team Rocket has killed is like

The Marowak

At least from what we've been told

[last egret]

That was more Colress

[sweet crypt]

Colress was mostly acting on Ghetsis' demands

And was likely ordered to do that

That said, Colress also did not hesitate to betray Ghetsis which was pretty funny

[last egret]

Colress is more of a third party who joined Team Plasma solely for their resources and funds

He doesn’t care about Ghetsis

[sweet crypt]

He doesn't, but I highly doubt Colress ordered the freezing of Opelucid himself, and that he was at least taking some commands

I get that he was technically the leader of Team Plasma but I feel like Ghetsis would have instantly disposed of him if he didn't do what he wanted

[last egret]

Ghetsis was bluffing about “killing the player” he wasn’t actually gonna do it

[last egret]

Giovanni was partially responsible for the creation of mewtwo

Mewtwo is way stronger than Kyurem

[sweet crypt]

There is 0 way to tell if Mewtwo is stronger than Kyurem

Not only that, that's not even a metric for how evil someone is

And Giovanni doesn't even gain possession of Mewtwo until Gen 7 with team Rainbow Rocket

[last egret]

Who is the most evil Pokémon villain in your opinion

[sweet crypt]

Could be Ghetsis

[last egret]

To me it’s gotta be Cyrus. Sure freezing a city might seem bad but Cyrus summoned the literal Pokémon devil

[sweet crypt]

That said, Cyrus wanted to end the universe to create a new one

And so did Volo

[last egret]

Ghetsis merely wanted to take over Unova. Cyrus wanted to end the universe lol

[sweet crypt]

Volo also told Giratina to fucking kill a child

[last egret]

Isn’t Volo allegedly Cynthia’s ancestor

Or is that just a theory

[next moon]

That's just a theory

[sweet crypt]

That's just a theory

A GAME THEORY

[next moon]

The only one that's confirmed is the one lady in the black dress

[last egret]

Silver being Giovanni’s son was a theory until HG/SS made it Canon

[sweet crypt]

Now to be fair, there's like a 1% chance Volo isn't Cynthia's ancestor

Volo has Cynthia's themes (both), and 5 out of 6 of Cynthia's team

[next moon]

It wouldn't make scene in the lore

Wouldn't we see Volo in the events of platinum?

[last egret]

Volo has Cynthia’s motif in his theme. Same color hair, have similar teams

So it’s a good theory

[sweet crypt]

That'd imply they planned LA before Platinum

[next moon]

They could have made LA fit with platinum

[last egret]

I have a theory that Clair and Lance are related

[sweet crypt]

Real

[next moon]

I think Volo was consumed by the distortion world before he could have children

[sweet crypt]

There's no way to tell

[harsh vessel]

hey this is a sword and shield question but idk of any other pokemon active server so...
Can dlc pokemons (for example litten) can appear to me in open world gmax raids?

[next moon]

Just a theory Janine is Kogas daughter

[next moon]

No

[last egret]

I have a theory that Oak is Gary’s grandpa

[sweet crypt]

The final fight is Volo's last appearance, and he is mentioned like twice afterwards

I believe by Laventon and Cogita

But it's been a while since I've beaten Volo

[next moon]

Cogita makes scene because she's actually Cynthias ancestor

[sweet crypt]

Is that confirmed anywhere?

[sweet crypt]

... How is that supposed to be proof?

[last egret]

How are they similar

[sweet crypt]

You just posted images of both Cogita and Cynthia

Without elaborating

[next moon]

She's the leader of the area that becomes celestic town (Cynthias home)

[last egret]

At most you can say their hairstyle is similar. That doesn’t really mean anything

[sweet crypt]

... Alright? There is still 0 concrete evidence

[last egret]

Volo has a way more compelling case of being related to Cynthia imo

[next moon]

They literally look the same

[next moon]

But Volo is a bad guy and Cynthia isn't

[sweet crypt]

Neither her nor Volo have anything 100% confirming a relationship with Cynthia as far as I'm concerned

The only thing I can say is that they're both probably likely ancestors

[last egret]

So? That doesn’t mean anything in terms of relation

[sweet crypt]

But we have 0 way of knowing for sure

[last egret]

Guys I have a crazy theory:
Hisui is actually Sinnoh but in the past

[next moon]

cogita is cyntias great great grandma

[sweet crypt]

Real

[next moon]

The LA protagonist is their own ancestor

[unkempt egret]

mine's glimmora which is... probably still decently common of a pick if I'm guessing lol

[jagged inlet]

I like Kingambit, Iron Jugulis, and Ceruledge

There's quite a few good Gen 9 Pokemon

Iron Valiant... Super cool

[hushed locust]

Does anyone know the name of the emerald ROM Hack where it has very pokemon from generations 1 through 9

[urban fractal]

That’s very vague

[sweet crypt]

Mfs saying that their favourite Pokemon is Flygon and that it's a "hot take"

[next moon]

My favorite pokémon

[sweet crypt]

Yoooo an unpopular opinion

W

Honestly I hear a lot of people say they dislike Qwilfish partially because it's bad in battle

But realistically it isn't even THAT bad

[next moon]

They've never used it in battle then

[sweet crypt]

He's like what

UU to NU in older gens

Not bad

There's worse

[next moon]

Even in modern games. Intimidate and t spikes are good

[sweet crypt]

Yeah but in modern games it's pretty much just PU or ZU

... Which in SV, isn't saying much

Apparently they're currently good ZU Pokemon

That's something

[next moon]

SV is the most power crept generation though

[sweet crypt]

SV powercreep is crazy

Actually just something else

[next moon]

We are living in the world where garchomp is uubl

[sweet crypt]

110 is an awkward speed tier now

[scenic whale]

Clodsire is peak tho

[unkempt egret]

intimidate is a HA but yea both times I've tried to use it the low special defense was a killer for dealing with a mainly special types (fire and fairy)

[hushed locust]

I'll just use the one in this alpharad video: https://youtu.be/k0aoHvPwk9M?si=yr868xOVmlqgM_kV since I have been trying to find an emerald rom hack that has every pokemon from gens 1-9

[jagged inlet]

i like how Quillfish bounces around in new pokemon snap

[last egret]

Flygon is an underappreciated dragon type

I wouldn’t say it’s an unpopular Pokémon but it’s not exactly that popular

Flygon isn’t even the 1st or 2nd most popular dragon type in Hoenn

Rayquaza and Salamance are way more popular than Flygon ever was

[jagged inlet]

i know tons of people who like Flygon

i think its a pretty decent pokemon when it comes to popularity

[last egret]

Flygon is kinda middle of the road in terms of popularity

So while it may not be a hot take it’s not a cold take either

[brisk hedge]

If Flygon wasn't popular, people wouldn't have complained when it didn't get a mega

[last egret]

Glalie was more popular than Flygon

That’s why Glalie got a mega and Flygon didn’t

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[last egret]

I know way more Glalie fans than Flygon fans

[jagged inlet]

not really

[brisk hedge]

The reason Flygon didn't get a mega wa due to artist block

[jagged inlet]

stares

[last egret]

Flygon is in that weird category of “Pokémon that should’ve been a pseudo but weren’t”

Haxorus falls into the same category

Haxorus totally could have been a pseudo

[jagged inlet]

yeah, i thought it was for a good long while tbh

[brisk hedge]

Haxorus is in the slow experience group, it just doesn't have the stats

[last egret]

Haxorus has a decent amount of fans but not even close to Hydreigon

[brisk hedge]

So yeah, it differently should have been a psudo

[jagged inlet]

i love Hydreigon hehehe

[last egret]

I would say the majority of Pokémon fans prefer Salamance over Flygon as a Pokémon

https://tenor.com/view/salamence-pokemon-gif-9694647

[brisk hedge]

I feel like more people would like Hydreigon if it didn't evolve so stupidly late

[jagged inlet]

thats like saying people perfer Pikachu over Stunfish

one has way more content than the other, yknow?

[last egret]

I have a real unpopular opinion:
dragonair has a better design than dragonite

[jagged inlet]

i agree with that

i dont think its really unpopular, its just not said often

https://www.pokemoncenter.com/product/710-09709/pokemon-center-rock-love-dragonair-bracelet-size-17

i want this so bad :3

[last egret]

Another hot take:
Gen 5 > Gen 6

[jagged inlet]

its beautiful

[last egret]

Yeah I said it

[jagged inlet]

not really a hot take TwT

i agree

i never really cared for gen 6

but gen 5 is my favorite thing in the world

[last egret]

You don’t understand. A lot of People hated Gen 5 upon release. I’m serious

Black and White were very controversial games

[jagged inlet]

on release, this is modern day

[brisk hedge]

What next, you gonna say that your least favorite remake is BDSP

[jagged inlet]

i know

[last egret]

Nah my least favorite remake is Let’s Go

Never really did much for me

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/shake-hand-handshake-agree-deal-nice-to-meet-you-gif-17070147

[last egret]

People who didn’t like BDSP already didn’t like Sinnoh to begin with

[jagged inlet]

Lets Go doesnt spark anything in me now but i had 200 hours in that game in 2018-2019

[brisk hedge]

I like Sinnoh and didn't really care for BDSP

[last egret]

I feel the same way about FR/LG. if you didn’t like firered and leafgreen chances are u wouldn’t have liked red and blue

[brisk hedge]

I wasn't horrible, just disappointing

[jagged inlet]

i like Sinnoh, the characters and new pokemon are pretty cool

[last egret]

Pokémon fans when a remake actually re-makes a game faithfully 😡😡😡

[jagged inlet]

personally, the chibi characters are a lil goofy

[last egret]

I don’t get the hate behind BDSP. BDSP was hated because they remade the game faithfully

[jagged inlet]

i mean id conqure a small nation for chibi Cyrus but its hard to take seriously

[last egret]

ORAS added so much unnecessary stuff. Mauville City is some weird mall thing. The flying Latios/Latias map was unnecessary filler. The delta episodes I guess were alright but nobody really asked for them

BDSP handled remaking a region better than ORAS did

[brisk hedge]

Actually, this is why people hated BDSP:

https://youtu.be/5x9aX1pG_3c?si=DBE-B8FUzF5CUQpt

[jagged inlet]

flying Latios and Latias is cool tho... and ORAS made some well needed redesigns and stuff

[brisk hedge]

Mind you, I think Let's Go is worse, but BDSP definitely could and should have done better

[last egret]

People claim BDSP was an unoriginal cash grab which I disagree with

[jagged inlet]

i mean maybe not a cash grab

but its not original in any way..

[last egret]

BDSP was a chance for Gen Z and Gen Alpha to experience Gen 4 for the first time.

It did it well

[brisk hedge]

They're probably confusing it with Let's Go

[jagged inlet]

at least lets go had pretty visuals and stuff

[pale epoch]

Gen z experiencing 4th gen pokemon for the first time with bdsp? How old do u think gen z is o_0

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/we-do-not-care-mike-tomlin-gif-23205439

[last egret]

Brother some members of Gen Z were born after Diamond and Pearl released

[jagged inlet]

people seemed to care when Scarlet and Voilet came out.

Lets Go was easy, which i think is a nice introduction to Pokemon

[pale epoch]

The worst part is i think ur right

[last egret]

Obviously maybe some older gen Z may have experienced Gen 4 but I would say anyone 25 and under probably didnt

[pale epoch]

Oh im 24 and my first pokemon games were colosseum and pearl

[jagged inlet]

me and my little sister would battle constantly in Lets Go and it was a core part of my younger years (though, it wasnt that long ago)

[pale epoch]

Im the one gen z whose first pokemon was 3 and 4

[last egret]

Gen Z goes from 1997 to 2012 so maybe some older gen Z might have remembered it but the vast majority of Gen Z was too young to remember when it released

So BDSP was their first exposure to sinnoh

[jagged inlet]

my first exposure to Sinnoh was watching gameplays of the original... :v

[last egret]

It makes me sad a whole generation of pokemon fans never played a 2D pokemon game

they missed out

[jagged inlet]

i cant afford to buy the older consoles

my Switch was a gift from my grandma

[last egret]

Why doesnt nintendo port their older main series games to the switch

[jagged inlet]

idk dude

i would kill to play BaW without an emulator

[last egret]

The technology is there. I have no reason to believe it is impossible for them to port FR/LG or Emerald to Switch

[jagged inlet]

maybe they just want to remake it later to make more money out of it or smtn

or to make it higher preformance

i mean Lets Go is kind of like FR and LG

just different starters

[last egret]

I personally think in general it's not unethical to pirate/emulate games that aren't widely available to obtain legally

[jagged inlet]

nod

[brisk hedge]

You have seen FR and LG, right?

[last egret]

Like if you don't want people to emulate your games, why not just make them available to purchase

[jagged inlet]

i js mean its still Kanto

[jagged inlet]

real

[brisk hedge]

Look up an LP of FRLG sometime

[jagged inlet]

alrighty

i have a Gameboy Color with Pokemon Yellow that my boyfriend gave me a few months ago

[last egret]

Pokemon Black 2 on Amazon costs over $200 to buy it refurbished

[jagged inlet]

ive barely made any progress though

[jagged inlet]

lord..

[last egret]

How was he able to find it

[brisk hedge]

Oh, also look up an LP of Let's Go if you're not familiar with it for comparison @jagged inlet

[jagged inlet]

i played through Lets Go like a million times when i was younger TwT

i have 200 hours in it

[jagged inlet]

no clue

he said he had 3 though

i wouldnt doubt if it was his moms though, shes a HUGE pokemon nerd ITS AMAZING

he'll give me a bunch of random old games for consoles i dont have

(not paticullarly old but) he also gave me a copy of Pokemon Sun which is on display on my booksheld because i dont have a 3DS :v

[unkempt egret]

speaking of which I now have most of my cases on display from gens 4-7

since I found a lot of em while we were prepping to move out of the other house and they fit well on my shelves

[jagged inlet]

neat :]

[unkempt egret]

gen 4 still had the manuals too which made me crumble into dust a bit

[jagged inlet]

i have a schoolastic book from 2011 abt Pokemon BaW on display in my room too

i found it at a bookstore for $3 and actually lost it

there was a map of Unova in it which i cut out and put on my wall next to my other posters

[unkempt egret]

nice nice

[jagged inlet]

i have a bunch of cool little pokemon things in my areas

[unkempt egret]

I have a poster from XY's release in my desk still but not a lot of physical stuffs

[jagged inlet]

thats so cool dudeeee

Heres the little Pokemon corner of ny desk

and i have a jumbo Zekrom and Pikachu tag team on my wall in my room

[unkempt egret]

nice, nice

[jagged inlet]

heck yeah

have you played Sword and Shield?

ive spent tons of time on it recently

i got a shiny Mewtwo on there :]

[vagrant dawn]

hopefully gonna start collecting stuff of my favorite Pokémon, Purugly soon

[vagrant dawn]

genuinely cannot explain how Autism ™️ i am over this pokémon it's so stupid

i mean just LOOK at her

she's so underrated and cool,,

[rugged comet]

Shiny goat

[rapid granite]

goated

[unkempt egret]

I have to see what I'm shiny hunting this year

--> charcadet swarm

if only it had a better actual shiny

...oh right I never cleared the rayquaza event so there's carbinks everwhere in kitakami so I'll hunt one of them

also purugly is the only non-boosted shundo I have in GO right now lol

I think it was nesting in the park I was in but not 100% sure

kinda hoping purugly gets a dark or ghost charge move so she can get more use against ghost rockets like furfrou does

[unkempt egret]

..well then. shiny carbink obtained.

...before I even used a sandwich

--> 1/200 shiny rate

aaah that explains it

[hollow badger]

Have u guys played Pokémon tcg pocket

I got the immersive celebi

[unkempt egret]

nice, didn't know that was an immersive lol

[gilded steppe]

tell me why yveltal doesnt get destiny bond

[hollow badger]

Niceeee

[vernal garnet]

I wish i could add spoilers to images i sent aaa

Or its a mobile thing ~-~

[hollow badger]

It had the spoiler warning on it

[vernal garnet]

Yeah now it does, in case someone wants to see it for themselves

[hollow badger]

👍

[coarse estuary]

[young mango]

Does anyone know any rom that allows me to focus on collecting pokemon/making teams with not a lot of story to go through?

[unkempt egret]

roaming open world emerald (ROWE) is a decent pick for that even if it has a brutal difficulty spike once you get to the E4

[young mango]

Ill check it out thanks

[coarse dawn]

[tight granite]

[sleek jewel]

[tight granite]

if you mean Arcanine i got it in the Tutorial, cause everyone gets an ex in the Tutorial

[sleek jewel]

i got executor in mine first

[sleek jewel]

yeah you get the refrence

[tight granite]

but i got a second one, casue the first Arcanine Ex i have is in german cause you cant change your language till after the turotial

[sleek jewel]

lol

[unkempt egret]

yea I think which EX you get in the first pack depends on the pack you pick?

I know arcanine and marowak are two but I forget the third, exeggutor might be it lol

[sleek jewel]

@tight granite doesn't these kinda match

[coarse estuary]

https://strawpoll.com/eJnvV424anv

[coarse estuary]

ok after 1 hour of voting the winning answer was oras

[primal ore]

HOORAY

[boreal storm]

I have thinking about this for a while

Is there two mewtwo?

Since Mewtwo has 2 mega, one is more masculine while the other was more feminine looking. Like, why do you need 2 mega if you only one in the intire universe. And depending on the movie Mewtwo either have male voice like in the Mewtwo Strikes Back or a female voice like the Genecsect movie

[narrow ledge]

maybe the real mewtwo was the friends we made along the way

[broken crater]

thats why hes called mew 2

cuz theres 2

[waxen blaze]

Just missing Zapdos EX and Articunp EX, but I guess they are bonuses, so I completed my first pokemon dex.

[sweet crypt]

I dont see how Mewtwo having 2 megas would directly link to there being more than 1 Mewtwo

Anyways, I'm not too sure how to think about Legendaries

Since Gamefreak clearly thinks more about gameplay than lore

And thus, we have Pokemon like Groudon and Dialga just

Being in some random other region

With 0 explanation on how they got there

I somehow doubt there is more than 1 God of time

Ig in Gen 7 it's just an entirely new dimension

But what about Gen 8 or 9?

[boreal storm]

Maybe every game was a different universe or the protagonist just didn't catch them

[sweet crypt]

Did every legendary just move to the exact same region for fun or some shit?

[boreal storm]

They're legend they do what they want

Or maybe they just running away from the human who want to catch them

[sweet crypt]

Anyways, that's why I can't say for sure if there's more than one Mewtwo

[tawdry breach]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

MY FIRST EVER SHINY!!!

[sage ore]

Congrats! That’s awesome 👏

[tawdry breach]

Mienfoo’s one of my lesser favourites of Unova, too! (I say lesser because I like the Minccino Line, the Blitzle Line, Meloetta, Victini, Virizion, the Snivy Line, and some others I’m way too excited to remember now

I used Dragon Rage to take away 40 Hitpoints, twice, and it’s on the red!!! (I really really hope it won’t miss and High Jump Kicks while I’m trying to catch it…

[sage ore]

Who is in your party currently?

[tawdry breach]

In retrospect I probably OOOOOOOHHHHH I CAUGHT IT!!!

[tawdry breach]

Hold on, lemme snap

[sage ore]

Congratulations. Mienfoo may not be a favorite, but it’ll be that little bit more special now

[tawdry breach]

What’s Mienfoo’s evolution, again? I nickname Pocket Monsters using the first letter of the final evolution in their line

[sage ore]

Mienshao

[tawdry breach]

So it’s still M.

[tawdry breach]

Whaddya wanna name it, Flint Lock Wood?

[sage ore]

Starting with M, right?

How ‘bout ‘Maverick’

[tawdry breach]

It’s female but sure

[sage ore]

Oh, oops 😅 Hmmmm

[tawdry breach]

How about Mav, for short?

[sage ore]

😅 Works I suppose

[tawdry breach]

This is my Party

I’m goin’ straight to the Elite 4 Pokécentre to collect Mav

[sage ore]

Very nice. Congrats again 😄

[tawdry breach]

I was grinding to get my team levelled up for the Elite 4… What A great way to end the day (11:20 PM, currently.)

It’s in the box =A

Which of my party should be boxed…?

[sage ore]

Prolly Virizon if you’re not super attached to it

[tawdry breach]

https://tenor.com/view/both-both-both-is-good-tf2-tf2-memes-pootis-engaged-gif-14259018241066600790

Both Virizion and Mienfoo is good

The 2 that I’m willing to box are my Druddigon with Sheer Force and my Terrakion…

[sage ore]

Tough call. Terrakion is pretty beefy tho. I’d probably box Druddi between those two

But it’s close

yo anyone that still plays pokemon scarvi have a giratina i can try and trade for?

[supple creek]

Ooohh shakes hands

I am obsessed with this little fella she's so cute

[coarse estuary]

og 6 is completed. props if you know the nickname theme

[real nebula]

anyone know how i can go about getting a shiny giratina in scarlet and violet?

[boreal storm]

Um, actually they're all female since the artist that made the are make them all female for some unknown reason☝️🤓

[blazing verge]

anyone know why my pokerogue is in Japanese?

[untold hill]

eh who cares regigigas is genderless canonically

[coarse estuary]

i think the pokerogue discord would know better than us

[next moon]

Always remember kids. When you're having doubts about your starter. Always pick fire

[hushed locust]

Does anyone know of any ROM hacks that have every pokemon from gens 1-9?

[coarse estuary]

the only one ik that might is rad red

[plush atlas]

ok but like any updates from Pokemon Pathways?

[polar mica]

Does anyone know a cool Pokemon SS rom hack?

[coarse estuary]

ss being sword shield or ss being soul silver?

[polar mica]

Sword/shield

[coarse estuary]

afaik there are no good swsh rom hacks

[polar mica]

;_;

[sleek jewel]

I FOUND THE SECRETS

[sleek jewel]

Ayo 🤨

[boreal storm]

I suddenly remember about this clip

This thing looks official but idk where it came from

[last egret]

Who would win: Deoxys or Kyurem

[sweet crypt]

I'm betting anime

And I basically exclusively look at game canon so idc

[sweet crypt]

Deoxys squared up with Mega Rayquaza (and got blasted, I remember using my weakest move possible on it and it easily OHKOing, certified 50/50/50 bulk moment)

Kyurem squared up against Zekrom/Reshiram and actually won

I'm leaning towards Kyurem

But there's no way of directly comparing

[tight granite]

most likely the movie

but cant recall there being 2 when i watched

[coarse estuary]

im 1/2 way through my ultra moon no dealing direct damage run

[jagged inlet]

Triplets

[supple creek]

[jagged inlet]

i made this yesterday in celebration

lil fella

(the man is my favorite musician lolz)

[coarse estuary]

if anyone wants ill post more updates from my run
if not ill just post once i win

[hushed locust]

Same with Everything in Emerald, which ironically is the rom hack that I am looking for but it is not able to be downloaded yet to my knowledge.

[plush atlas]

Theres also that romhack where youre the gymleader

[hushed locust]

Hopefully it has my boy Elektross since he's been my boy since he came out in gen 5.

[steep stone]

childhood shows? cartoon network?

[hushed locust]

The smarter protagonists?

No and no

[chrome cave]

Side characters in Comics/Comicbooks?

[coarse estuary]

no

[chrome cave]

You got me super curious now

[coarse estuary]

yall are being too specific bout it

[sleek jewel]

It's dangerous to go alone take this

No one cares about this secret?

[coarse estuary]

well watson happened and i lost 2 pairs due to horrible luck on super sonic causing self confusion damage

[coarse estuary]

someone in nuzcord was like i dont wanna use dupes clause but i dont want all my encounters to be the same mon and i was laughing so hard

[unkempt egret]

lol

should have told them to just run what I run

which is that the first one/two dupes (one for normal, two if it's a blind run) you're allowed to pass but after that you must catch what you see

[coarse estuary]

all i said to them was at the end of the day is if they dont want to be forced into things because of no dupes clause but dont want the same 5 pokemon on their team then dont nuzlocke

[unkempt egret]

ideally also don't play kanto as the first rule rofl

(or any game before B2/W2 actually since that's when it feels more practical to run into new stuff without having dupes clause)

[coarse estuary]

i mean personally for all my non wedlockes i use notepad clause and i like that (notepad clause is built into wedlockes rules already)

[brisk hedge]

Considering that 5/7 (English) Kanto games are complete garbage, there’s not much reason to play Kanto anyway

[vital bramble]

weirdly specific take but I hope we get a mega scovillain because a fire/grass mixed attacker that's actually competent sounds really cool

[solar reef]

Does anyone know what the use button on the shiny charm does in emerald seaglass or is it always active?

[boreal storm]

Why does Reshiram has this weird fur structure at it's crotch?

https://tenor.com/view/n-pokemon-n-reshiram-pokemon-reshiram-gif-4396224145316164752

[desert coral]

we been asking that since 2010

[boreal storm]

Fr, like isn't Reshiram supposed to be feminine, the opposite of Zekrom? So why did they decided to give Reshiram a fur that looks like a dick

[cloud lark]

Pokemon is really odd about that sometimes

Like with Blaziken

And Heatmor

[unkempt egret]

same question we've been asking beartic

[candid spindle]

is genesect good pokemon

[sage ore]

Generally, yeah, pretty good

[daring garnet]

You got to wonder what your pokemon rescue team from red/blue were doing in the events of the Explorers games.

[pine ingot]

Any other good fan games I should try?

[boreal storm]

This Gym of Mine

[gaunt meadow]

I say Pokémon Quetzal... because Shiny Master Ball CHAOS.

[boreal storm]

I remember the day when you can't get the pokemon a gender and nature that you want in cheat mode

[delicate hollow]

We need a brand new mystery dungeon on the switch and I mean a new IP the only legit new one was super mystery dungeon and I am excluding the enhanced remaster remake of the original GBA version as we already got that on switch it's the same as original but built different

[boreal storm]

Ooh, what if a mystery dungeon game where you are the pokemon and not a human that was reincarnated into one

And the settings is on a war, and the game gonna have a darker theme and more complex story than other pokemon game

And the way you born as a Pokemon is randomized, so you won't gonna know what pokemon you born into, the species, the gender, the nature everything is randomized just like how you were born in real life since just like in real life, you can't choose who you gonna be, you just born.

[delicate hollow]

I like the sound of this

[brisk hedge]

Pokémon fun fact of the day: Oddish's scientific name is “Oddium Wanderus”

Pokemon Sleep sounds like an app to put newborn babies to bed. Since it's a sleep tracking app it doesn't appeal to adults IMO the same goes to Pokemon Smile for brushing our teeth as the advertisements show Japanese kids.

[unkempt egret]

I mean it helped me move my sleep schedule back from 1:30 to 11:30 lol

[runic heron]

Can someone trade me a torchic in Pokemon scarlet/violet?

It's the last evolution line I need to complete the DLC pokedex

Trade link code is 1021 1021

[uneven blaze]

cant you just catch one?

[unkempt egret]

grinding to unlock access to them takes a long time to do (3,000 BP)

[sweet crypt]

It is THE OUBL Knight. Far too broken for more normal Pokemon, but can't quite compete with the base 670+ legendaries

If you don't know what that means, basically, it's extremely good, but not to the level of a box art legendary

[sick anchor]

ngl this was the weakest e4 ive fought

[cold osprey]

Does anyone have a Solgaleo I can trade for? I only have Shield and Violet :'3

I have a few legendaries that might be equal to it

[sly ginkgo]

I mean
not yet but I will

[cold osprey]

Are you trying to get one?

Rn I have
Raikou
Suicane
Latias
And Rayquaza

Latias is the only one I have that is exclusive so lol

[runic heron]

I have solgalaeo, trade for torchic?

[cold osprey]

Idk if I have one

[runic heron]

Check

Torchic or the evolutions

[cold osprey]

im checking rn

[runic heron]

K

I will still give you one anyway because I have 4 somehow

[cold osprey]

I dont, sorry

[runic heron]

It's ok

1021 1021

[cold osprey]

let me get on

[runic heron]

I have scarlet and sword

[cold osprey]

alright

it said I couldnt find anyone

[runic heron]

I was offline

[cold osprey]

lol, I feel that

[runic heron]

Ok, now

[cold osprey]

tysm, its the only pokemon I really want lol

[runic heron]

Np

Egg

[cold osprey]

huh?

[runic heron]

Trade something random

[cold osprey]

alright

[runic heron]

It is either a sandslash or a starter

[cold osprey]

interesting, thank you

[runic heron]

Np

[wide sail]

This is nice

[runic heron]

What did the egg hatch into

[cold osprey]

I got off after

[runic heron]

Oh, ok

If anyone has a spare torchic in Pokemon scarlet/violet, please tell me

[delicate hollow]

I'm giving up on Pokemon Sleep this app is useless as I'm told to keep my phone on at all times to track my sleep but I can't do that as I'm easily distracted by notifications (it's on silent by the way) and the fact it drains my phone battery so I'm gonna delete it for good and never download it again.
Such a waste like what alternative ways can I track my own Sleep???

[runic heron]

Do you have a torchic in Pokemon Scarlet or Violet

If anyone does, please tell me, it's all I need to complete the indigo disc dex

[coarse estuary]

so i just saw a somethin on this on a tubes vid i was watching and was wondering if it was worth it to try and get a widescreen mod of bw working or if i should just do bw on og dsi xl

[runic heron]

Just do the original

Can someone trade me a torchic in Pokemon scarlet/violet

[coarse estuary]

im not quite sure i know what you mean by do the original? does that mean just on dsi xl with no mods or what? sorry if its obvious im slow some times

[runic heron]

You said "or do bw on og..." Og means original, so do the original

[runic heron]

But do you have pokemon scarlet or Violet, I need torchic or any of the evolutions

[coarse estuary]

ik what og means im not 2 and no i dont have torchic

but i ask because sometimes people think play the og means play bw1 and not bw2 which is not what im asking

[desert quail]

not to flex but i own pokemon ruby (flex)

[coarse estuary]

not to flex but i own heart gold and white (flex)

[desert quail]

i own black

show me your gba games

proud owner of metroid prime

[sage ore]

I’ve got… way to goddamn many

[untold hill]

Games are older than me 💀

[coarse estuary]

why should i show you gba games when i dont have any? (unless you count heart gold and lets go and oras being remakes of gb gbc and gba games)

[desert quail]

gold and silver were on the gameboy

https://tenor.com/view/tweaking-out-black-guy-tweaking-meme-gif-6022943353035016664

me when people in the fandom have no idea what theyre talking about

[coarse estuary]

no they werent

[desert quail]

the gameboy color was as much of a "new console" as the xbox one S and xbox one X are

[coarse estuary]

still claiming im wrong because you think a new console is just a new version of an already existing console is not a good thing to do

[desert quail]

the GB and GBC have basically the same hardware. one is in "color" and one isnt

[sage ore]

Still different systems. I have a GBC. I do not have an original gameboy

[desert quail]

they run all the same stuff, at the same performance, with little to no difference

[coarse estuary]

look beat your dead horse all you want. that will not ever change the fact the game boy and game boy color are different systems end of arguement

[desert quail]

dude stop talking like you run the place jesus christ

[sage ore]

U rong bud

[desert quail]

you* wrong*

[coarse estuary]

i dont act like i run the place but i can if you want

[desert quail]

what

[coarse estuary]

all i mean is i dont act like i run the place but i can act like i run the place if that is really what you want

[sage ore]

I don’t think anyone really wants that. Let’s just drop it, aight

Agree to disagree

[coarse estuary]

bro was so annoying lol.

[sage ore]

It is what it is

[coarse estuary]

meh just glad their gone now

[obtuse dock]

has anyone played pokemon myth?

[coarse estuary]

i did way back in the day before they broke my trust and gave me haterid for the game

[obtuse dock]

pls explain

[coarse estuary]

well back then when they were doing some like post game thing or whatever the dev was asking for community members to be elite 4 and champ for post game and the rival and i got picked to be the rival and the dev was asking me all these things about what mons i wanted and whatnot but whenever i would ask for updates on it i would be ignored then when the post game or whatever came out the other 5 peoples elite 4 and champ where in the game but my rival was not and when i asked why they would do this to me i would be ignored and whenever i would try to bring attention to other server members with it my messages where deleted

[rugged comet]

Just had the easiest 5 star Tera raid, the basculegion just spammed scary face, on the pokemon that has a clear amulet

It hit me once

[coarse estuary]

ive decided to start a new bw1 playthrough using my 3 favorite starters on my team (that arent gen 5 so no snivy) so id have a chikorita a squirtle and a chimchar. what yall think?

[hard plume]

The easiest ones for me are the blissey ones

any ghost type pokemon + move that the tera type is weak against = profit

[rugged comet]

Eh the healing on the blissey can be a pain

Especially when they have the shield up

[hard plume]

ah softboiled

that sucks

[boreal storm]

Megablock

I accidentally put the ear the wrong way

[last egret]

Has anyone here played Pokémon black/white?

I don’t get why when black and white first came out, it was controversial but now most people consider gen 5 one of their favorite generations

[brisk hedge]

Because people didn't like the fact that you couldn't get any previous gen Pokémon before the league and they thought Team Plasma were hypocritical

Both pretty silly argument IMO

[last egret]

I think Gen 6’s nostalgia pandering is the direct result of Gen 5

They went a little too overboard with nostalgia

[brisk hedge]

At least Gen 6's pandering was equalish. Gen 7 was fully Gen 1 pandering

[last egret]

Do u think Gen 5 or Gen 6 is more beloved nowadays

By the Pokémon community in general

@brisk hedge

[brisk hedge]

From what I've seen probably Gen 5 still

[last egret]

Maybe Legends ZA will bring more love to Gen 6

[brisk hedge]

I just hope it will be a good game

And won't pander to Gen 1 so much

[last egret]

Unpopular opinion:
Gen 5 has the best story of any main series games

Yeah I said it

[brisk hedge]

What's next, you gonna say that Gen 8 has the worst

[last egret]

What do u mean by that

Why would I say that

[brisk hedge]

Cause it's also a very common opinion

must i summon my opinions on gen 5 as its my fave gen

[brisk hedge]

I don't think it's necessary, but go ahead

[coarse estuary]

then i shall stay in a silent slumber

my opinons dormant until needed

[unkempt egret]

to elaborate a bit, people also I noticed wanted them to go more into the "pokemon battling is wrong" angle instead of the game going hard on the exact opposite of that

(a lot of them either didn't play the game or willingly ignored the whole muuna kicking bit that occurs right after gym 1 lol)

[coarse estuary]

i sit in the corner watching and observing waiting for the perfect time to strike and share my opinions. now is not the time. i must be patient

[runic heron]

Does anyone have a torchic in Pokemon scarlet/violet or sword/shield that they are willing to trade me

[coarse estuary]

no. nobody does stop asking

[runic heron]

Ok

[coarse estuary]

i want a version of that meme for the people who ignore what their rival says after they beat them in lavender tower

[brisk hedge]

?tag reading that's what we have this for

[ebon pond]

You should try to read NPC dialogue! They give very good hints on how to continue the game. Sometimes they also give you items! Don't forget to talk to NPC's and read what they say.

[coarse estuary]

ik ik but that just doesnt hit the same with the amount of people who get angry at us when we bring it up

[coarse estuary]

so i didnt really think this through and i gave my self 2 pokemon on my team before i picked my chimchar i made my starter in black and now im wondering if when i get to the lab if it will still let me name the chimchar like normal or if ill need to manually name it in pkhex

[sweet crypt]

1: This opinion is the room temperature of Antarctica
2: Tbh you may be right, but I think L:A and SV are contenders

[last egret]

How is that a cold take?

A hot take is something most people disagree with or at minimum is controversial

[coarse estuary]

its a cold take because everyone and their mom has that take now that gen 5 is actually good

[last egret]

Gen 5 used to be hated when it first launched

They were very controversial games

[coarse estuary]

yeah they were. this is not 2010

your take would only be hot if it it was 2010

[last egret]

How come fans changed their mind about Gen 5

[sweet crypt]

Good question

[last egret]

How did the most hated Gen turn into one of the most loved

[sweet crypt]

Who the hell knows

It seems to be a trend tbh

A generation releases

It is hated

A decade or so later

It is loved

[last egret]

I mean most people are starting to come around for Gen 8. People used to call sword and shield too linear, easy and generic

[sweet crypt]

Really? I don't think they are quite yet

I feel like XY is the game that's currently gaining more popularity

I somehow doubt that all of these people always liked XY though

They probably just want to be cool because of the ZA announcement

[coarse estuary]

usally because the people who grew up playing and liking the games as a child are now old enough to post about it online and prase about it when back when it came out the only people old enough to post about gen 5 were genwunners

[rugged comet]

Fans of any series change their mind when a new game comes out

[coarse estuary]

though there will always be the fans out there who try to gatekeep and think if they dont like something then nobody is allowed to like it

[last egret]

You really think that fans go “This game sucks” and then a few years later say “You know this kinda grew on me”

[rugged comet]

That's exactly what I've seen many people do

[last egret]

I disagree. People were very happy with Legends Arceus even upon release

It was very well praised

[sweet crypt]

That's because L:A is simply the GOAT

[coarse estuary]

how dare people be allowed to change their opinion on something. the horror

[sweet crypt]

What I find so sus about everyone suddenly liking XY

[brisk hedge]

Because people other than Genwunners started playing it

[sweet crypt]

Is that it directly lines up with ZA's announcement

[last egret]

I remember when people used to call BDSP “Bland and unoriginal” now it’s regarded as one of the best remakes in series history

[coarse estuary]

no it isnt

[sweet crypt]

Idk who you're talking to who thinks BDSP is the best remake

Because nobody I've seen has said anything but the opposite

[coarse estuary]

bdsp has always and will always be the worst pokemon remake or game ever made lol

[last egret]

That’s exactly how people talked about HGSS and ORAS.

People hated them then loved them

I was one of the few people who loves HGSS immediately

[sweet crypt]

Yeah but I haven't seen BDSP started getting love yet

[brisk hedge]

I've seen people defend X and Y before the ZA announcement

[sweet crypt]

And given how it's basically just a mild upgrade over DP and still worse than Platinum

[brisk hedge]

Let's Go: am I a joke to you

[coarse estuary]

i think you need to quit whatever you are smoking because every claim you have made has either been the coldest of all takes or just wrong

[sweet crypt]

I somehow doubt that it'll become liked

[coarse estuary]

lets go is beter than bdsp

[last egret]

Bro if u remember when ORAS came out there were plenty of criticisms. Now it’s generally regarded as a good remake

[sweet crypt]

Minor spelling mistake though

Instantly invalidated /j

[last egret]

Same thing is happening with BDSP now

[coarse estuary]

no it isnt

[rugged comet]

No, because bdsp is just a bad remake

[last egret]

That’s a hot take

[sweet crypt]

I have yet to see anyone think highly of BDSP

[coarse estuary]

rip me

[last egret]

You guys sound exactly like Gen 5 haters in the 2010’s.

[sweet crypt]

Tbh I don't dislike Let's Go

[coarse estuary]

no we dont

[brisk hedge]

I feel like people will end up liking BDSP because the poor kids never got to play Platinum

[rugged comet]

Doesn't have any changes from platinum, it's literally just dp but better graphics

Well

3d graphics

[last egret]

People in the 2010’s hated Gen 5. In the 2020’s now they realize how good the games were

[coarse estuary]

yeah nobody is going to see good in bdsp

[sweet crypt]

OK, give me 10 years to mull it over

[coarse estuary]

if you see good in bdsp you need to get medical help

[last egret]

If people came around for HGSS and ORAS, the same will happen with BDSP

[rugged comet]

Oras are genuinely good remakes

[last egret]

Even people are starting to come around for Let’s Go games too.

[brisk hedge]

And if you see good in Let's Go you're already too far gone

[sweet crypt]

I'm not the type of person to heavily change opinion on a game

[coarse estuary]

i dont see good in lets go i just see worse in bdsp

[last egret]

Explain to me why BDSP is a bad remake but ORAS and HGSS are good? Are they actually better or is it just your nostalgia goggles

I think you guys like ORAS purely cuz nostalgia

[brisk hedge]

ORAS are the second best Pokémon remakes

[sweet crypt]

ORAS adds Megas and Megas are W

[rugged comet]

And flying on mega Latias/latios was fun

[sweet crypt]

I get a free Latios :)

[coarse estuary]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBRzTwznpX4 this sums up why bdsp is so bad

[sweet crypt]

I will say though, that kinda invalidated Sceptile

I probably shouldn't have picked Sceptile actually

Sceptile was a pretty poor performer

[brisk hedge]

My favourite clip from that video

[sweet crypt]

I guess if I was playing Alpha Sapphire I could probably make some use out of Sceptile

But I mean, there's some Team Aqua grunts who have literally 0 water types

But do have Poison/Flying types

[coarse estuary]

lol i was dumb when oras came out because i thought may picked the same starter every time so i reset to pick the one strong to her to counter her not knowing she picks the one strong to you every time till thr 4th time i picked torchic

[coarse estuary]

yes. that is perfect clip

[sweet crypt]

If I replayed Omega Ruby I'd probably pick Mega Blaziken

[coarse estuary]

i mean i got torchic as my starter in my omega ruby wedlocke im doing

[sweet crypt]

If I had Alpha Sapphire instead I'd probably pick Mega Swampert

And then not Primal Reversion my Kyogre

Fuck it, we Swift Swim

[coarse estuary]

also notice after i posted the everything wrong with bdsp vid they stopped responding. curious

[rugged comet]

Probably watching it

22 minutes long

[sweet crypt]

Do you expect them to watch a video in like

5 minutes

[coarse estuary]

no but i was expecting them to be like tldw or somethign

[sweet crypt]

4× speed fr

[coarse estuary]

i expected them to blow over it just like all the other points we was making

[brisk hedge]

I feel like the reason people hate BDSP more then Let’s Go is because people were begging for a Sinnoh remake for years. Meanwhile, literally no one was asking for Let’s Go

[coarse estuary]

i was hoping it would be kinda like an oras situation where it took the good from rse and added the gimic from its gen and gave some new mons access to said gimic

[sage ore]

I don't hate BDSP. It's fine. Not amazing, and yeah I wish different decisions were made during its development, but it's fine and I dig the aesthetic.

[lusty iris]

Lets Go is also fundamentally different yknow? its basically just a Pokemon Go console game

So it gets the like, spinoff game treatment rather than mainline

[coarse estuary]

i felt lets go could have been good if there were more battleable trainers and you didnt need to catch like 50 mons to get 2 levels on a mon

[sage ore]

My biggest gripe with Let's Go is that I can't use my pro controller. I have to use a motion controller or play in handheld mode.

[coarse estuary]

on other topic what non basic name should i name my chimchar in my black replay (non randomized)

[sage ore]

Male or female?

[coarse estuary]

let me check i dont remember

it is male

[sage ore]

Cole

[coarse estuary]

why Cole?

[sage ore]

Because coal

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-wynaut-happy-jump-gif-17071241

[coarse estuary]

fair

[brisk hedge]

Side note, one of these days I'm going to have to make an essay on why Let's Go is terrible

But I have neither the time nor energy for that today

[coarse estuary]

i could do the same for gen 2 hgss included

[brisk hedge]

HGSS is Gen 4

[coarse estuary]

its a gen 2 remake so im lumping it in my gen 2 hate

[sage ore]

it has the same issues as BDSP. None of the necessary changes got made.

[brisk hedge]

But at least all of HGSS's changes were positive

Also, it didn't completely ignore Crystal

[sweet crypt]

Yeah I'm not a massive fan on how HGSS didn't solve some of the bigger problems that GSC had

[sage ore]

But a lot of the glaring Gen 2 issues are still there. Namely the awful level curve and progression of wild pokemon resulting from trying to make the game too open and nonlinear
