Admittedly I'm extrapolating a bit on this based on the storefront page for the Japanese collectors edition being sold, where they're sending download codes in a box and those codes will expire, but I've seen Nintendo gleefully exploit FOMO before so I feel it's a fair assumption

[coarse estuary]

i would just would hope its the same like 3d allstars just because i feel it would be so sad to lose out on a run or some shiny pokemon because you didnt beat the run or transfer the mons out before the end date

[steep moss]

saving it for shiny hunting

[coarse estuary]

well oyu can still shiny hunt it without the charm lol

[steep moss]

yeah but 1/4096 to 1/1350 is a big difference

[coarse estuary]

so?

[supple basalt]

The numbers are a big difference but the RNG is the same

I have found more shinies without a shiny charm in mainline games than I have with it

[steep moss]

i just wanna get it done with

[supple basalt]

I get that but just because the numbers are different doesn't change the chances because at the end of the day, it's still RNG. No reason not to try until you find someone to get you a non-shiny

[steep moss]

im still reseting just would be better if i had the charm

[supple basalt]

Gotcha. The home app has a GTS

I think that works with Go

[amber basin]

More shinies...

[nocturne river]

I feel like i should make a pokemon rom hack where the pokemon stats are multiplied by a random amount

[nocturne river]

I’d call it Pokémon Skewed Stats

[chilly siren]

what game is this?

[amber basin]

It's a fan made game, Relict

[chilly siren]

ohh cool thanks!

[amber basin]

Yeah!

We got this silly fella

[chilly siren]

I don't know exactly where to put this, but,, I've started making custom cards for some of my custom sprites

[amber basin]

Woah

Those are actually so cool

[chilly siren]

aww thank you! They're fun to come up with lol; I fill out the actual card template with a website

[amber basin]

I see!

[smoky gyro]

Mold Breaker ignores Armor Tail/Queenly Majesty right?

[quasi linden]

It ignores all opponent abilities that effect attacks so ye

[shrewd hemlock]

What game is this? This looks so cool!

[amber basin]

This is Pokemon Relict!

It's a fan made Pokemon game ofc

[shrewd hemlock]

Ofc

[amber basin]

But it's one I've taken a liking to

Totally not playing it only bc of human arceus

[shrewd hemlock]

The what?!

[amber basin]

Yeah 😭

Non pixel version of him

[shrewd hemlock]

They made a vtuber lookin Arceus

[amber basin]

He doesn't look bad tho

[shrewd hemlock]

I ain't saying it's bad

[shrewd hemlock]

Anyways thanks for this.

[amber basin]

Yw!

[shrewd hemlock]

I'm looking for more games to play in Joiplay cause I.F is the only game on my menu 😭

[amber basin]

It is buggy sometimes on Joiplay

But it works almost all the time

[shrewd hemlock]

Good enough

I actually had an little issue with I.F, but yeah it's whatever. It works so it's fine

[shrewd hemlock]

Also where is it safe to download? I want to avoid another fake site to download to, just like here in infinite fusions

[amber basin]

I used their discord

I can invite you if you'd like

[delicate hollow]

Fire Red and Leaf Green for the Switch are just ports with no new additions

[shrewd hemlock]

that would be greatly appreciated

[cinder iron]

Oh he's pretty

[coarse viper]

I watched Captain Kid video about this a week ago xD

[inland crane]

In other news people pay to drink water every day

[lilac mica]

I’d literally just don’t wanna play the game and it looks so

[uneven blaze]

so

[tardy anchor]

At first glance I thought its 104 lvl Minor 💀

[vital flare]

It is?

[tardy anchor]

Its Min**i**or not Minor 😭

[quasi dagger]

i hate this game

[tardy anchor]

Lol

[astral quartz]

Quick question I have about a one color challenge: do you think I should only use Pokémon of the chosen color or the whole evo line

[brisk hedge]

Only the Pokémon themselves

[astral quartz]

That makes sense, I was on the fence about it so I asked

Unfortunately for me, that means stuff like no manectric

[delicate hollow]

People complaining slugma is a hoenn pokemon NO it a hoenn pokemon and NO it a johto pokrmon but you get it late in game which sucks

[sweet crypt]

Name a better combo: Gen 2 Pokemon and only being in Kanto

[coarse viper]

Unova and High Evo levels

[coarse estuary]

kalos and post game megas

alola and cutscenes

[sweet crypt]

Kanto and Glitches/Kanto and Poor Balancing Decisions have to be up there too

But I guess FRLG fixing that makes it lower down

[brisk hedge]

Pokémon and pandering to Generation 1

[bright arrow]

it is a johto pokemon

end of debate 😂

[sweet crypt]

I'd argue it's a Kanto Pokemon

As it can only be caught in Kanto

Because once again

Gen 2 Pokemon and only being in Kanto is a very common occurrence

[bright arrow]

slugma wasn't in Red/Blue/Yellow

[sweet crypt]

And it isn't in Johto either

So calling it a Johto Pokemon would be quite literally false

It only appears in Kanto in its debut games

Thus making it a Gen 2 Kanto Pokemon

[bright arrow]

fk

[sweet crypt]

Kanto being in GSCHGSS is lowkey a mistake

Because all these Gen 2 Pokemon are now only in Kanto

And it's sucky

Because why tf do we have to wait until reaching Kanto in postgame before catching these

The only Dark types you can get in Johto before the postgame

Are Umbreon from evolving Eevee

And Sneasel if you're playing Crystal

Or I guess Safari Zone Pokemon in HGSS

If you're playing GSC, your literal only way to use 1 of the 2 new types is to evolve your Eevee into an Umbreon

When there's literally 4 other options that you may want to pick instead

[coarse estuary]

after only 492 encounters i got this shiny snivy. lets go

[quasi dagger]

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME

[granite cloud]

i am not even going to ask

[sweet crypt]

Is that Geeta?

[quasi dagger]

yeah

she has sometihng i want so bad

[sweet crypt]

Most unfortunate

[cloud lark]

5 days away from the big Direct, and the more I think about it, the more I feel like it will serve as a good indicator of how much one should care about the franchise going forward

[coarse viper]

I am fairly easy to please so I will care about the franchise and probably enjoy it
Or I would if I had this thing of not giving Nintendo money

[cinder iron]

GSC could have been the last Pokémon games so I feel like Kanto was fanservice for the people who got into it through RGBY

Pokémon was very much not the guaranteed success it is now during gen 2 lol

[hollow solstice]

hey i want to do a soullink nuzlock randomizer with my friends does anonye know what game we could use? i would want to download it just like infinite fusion if you know what i mean. (preferably all pokemon or a lot)

[supple basalt]

There are a lot of good fangames. You can try Insurgance for both a challenge and it has an actual Nuzlocke mode. Rejuvination can also be good as it has a lot of options.

[sweet crypt]

As it turns out Nasty Plot+Cosmic Power Eternamax with Dragon Energy and Body Press kinda goes hard

And quad resists don't mean anything btw I have 3460 Defence when fully set up

Which is enough to OHKO Oleana's G-Rapidash

I'm not overleveled btw, this is at level 162 which is the level cap for 160-170

Since I have Leftovers, Recover is not needed

Which is why I can afford to drop it for Cosmic Power to boost Body Press

Helps a lot in these rainy areas

The most effort I have used in this run so far is singing It's Going Down Now which I am currently playing in the background

Anyways literally the first Gen 8 Challenge Run I get E4 Bede

Which is the only reason I'm doing it rn

So uhh

Gg ez

Well as long as he doesn't have like

Idk

Flutter Mane

Or some shit

Which is immune to both my moves rn

Then again I think the rest of my team could beat a singular Flutter Mane

And worst case scenario I PP stall it

Mimikyu too

Allister also didn't have either

Rival's Ceruledge stole my stat boosts

So I just set them up again

Eternamax's power cannot be overexaggerated

Nothing like eating a SE Mega Ray Core Enforcer and taking 40 damage

[broken temple]

i never seen the back sprite of eternatus
jesus bro looks like a cinnamon roll

💀

[chilly siren]

I looovvee cinamanonam woll

[tardy anchor]

Hey what is the evolution method of Drapin in Pokemon Relict?

[amber basin]

Now WHO is drapin

Do you mean Drapion????

Because that evolves from Skorupi from level 40 iirc

Fifth reset shiny is actually insane for this games odds, I'm NEVER getting another shiny

[tardy anchor]

I mean Dreepy

😅

[amber basin]

Oh

Dreepy

[amber basin]

Level 50 into Drakloak

Level 60 into Dragopult

[tardy anchor]

ohk

[median anvil]

Insane ragequit, after playing passive for so long 🥹

[coarse viper]

Your team disgusts me

[median anvil]

Haven't gotten to into teambuilding was trying to make a sun team but I used pokemon with zero synergy

[supple basalt]

Yall I think I just got the worst RNG possible in a Tera Raid. Lapras froze me with Freeze Dry, I was frozen for three turns. Two turns after I thaw, I AM FROZEN FOR FIVE TURNS IN A ROW

Time runs out

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW YOU COULD BE FROZEN FOR FIVE TURNS

I'm coming after this Lapras with a vengeance

Finally it's dead.

[coarse viper]

Be glad it aint the gen 1 freeze or you will be stuck there

[sweet crypt]

You can be frozen for an infinite number of turns

AKA: Every single fucking time I get frozen

Freeze is such a fucking horrid garbage status effect

It needs to be replaced with Frostbite or straight up removed

Ice moves may as well have a 10% chance to OHKO

[supple basalt]

That's so stupid

I agree with the frostbite

[sweet crypt]

Sleep is also garbage except for when inflicted by Rest

Because it's inconsistent as hell

[supple basalt]

Give us the special burn you cowards at gamefreak

[sweet crypt]

I guess that's just generic rpg status effect nonsense though

But to Pokemon's credit, it does have actually great statuses

Burn, Poison and Toxic I have 0 issues with

[supple basalt]

Paralysis is the best status effect except for on physical attackers. Then it's burn

Toxic always great as well

[sweet crypt]

Full Paralysis is annoying as hell but the speed control from it is great

[supple basalt]

Yeah that's what I love about it

[sweet crypt]

Confusion and Infatuation are both horrible to play against though

[supple basalt]

Very

[sweet crypt]

They're not non-volatile status effects but they're garbage so I have to mention them

[supple basalt]

After I got through the Lapras (which I had to throw out all my Tera raid monsters because apparently EQ from Metagross does more than Earth Power from Dialga)

I couldn't use a ground tip because it had sparkling aria, ice beam, and freeze dry lol

But after I got through it I'm ohkoing everything again

[sweet crypt]

Drowsy is an interesting status

The L:A one

[supple basalt]

Drowsy is kinda like paralysis without the speed control ngl

[sweet crypt]

There's the stupid fucking "cannot move" bs but it also increases the damage you take

[supple basalt]

Wait it decreases defensive stats?

[sweet crypt]

According to Bulbapedia and in-game descriptions, yes apparently

And in ZA it just doubles move cooldowns

With 0 other effect

Anyways apparently ability changing counts as a status effect

[supple basalt]

Interesting

[sweet crypt]

And type changing

And the move Mimic

Those 3 I kinda don't see

I mean

Baton Pass doesn't pass any of that does it?

Substitute though I suppose makes sense if we use Baton Pass as a determiner

[supple basalt]

Yeah

[sweet crypt]

Because I've been on this page before and a lot of these things can be passed by Baton Pass

[supple basalt]

That's odd status can be passed via baton pass. I never knew that

[sweet crypt]

It's only volatile status effects

Like Perish Count

[supple basalt]

Gotcha

[sweet crypt]

Other examples include the different types of binding, Curse, Seeding, Minimized, Magnet Rise, Aqua Ring etc

I think Ingrain works for it too

Which is relevant for Baton Pass strats

Other relevant stuff to have for Baton Pass strats are Soundproof mons since otherwise Perish Song shuts it down instantly, and it alsp helps with Roar if you don't have Ingrain

Substitute negates a lot of negative effects that'd otherwise be passed around with Baton Pass

There is notably no way to counteract Curse for Baton Pass teams appart from outspeeding and using Soak or something

Since apparently, Curse ignores Magic Coat/Bounce

[supple basalt]

lol I just did a 6 star raid for an ice type clodsire

First attack activated Poison Point. This was literally fantastic since it then couldn't yawn me. And every time I smacked it with Drain Punch I went back to full HP even when I was below half 😂

[wheat mantle]

what is the level cap befor 3rd gym in pokemon emerald?

[delicate hollow]

Has anyone that played FRLG manage to get the 5% lucky egg off wild chansey or caught dratini/dragonite from safari zone, given them the lucky egg, battle or rematch trainers while they got upgraded higher level teams and evolve it to dragonite then beat the elite 4 and champion with it?

[broken temple]

i managed to get the 5% lucky egg
and catch a dratini in the safari zone
eventually it got to dragonite but i didnt grind specifically for it

[delicate hollow]

I very rarely see players with at least one pseudo on their team (as official members) but the grind to fully evolve them and beat the entire game can be tedious especially trying to get zweilous to level 64 cos you know there is only a recommended level of 50+ (and ghetsis has an illegal hydreigon)

[broken temple]

well depending on the game and the team comp a dragon type is very much worth it in most games

[fast finch]

Hi everyone, I need someone to exchange my machoke to evolve him into machamp in let's go Pikachu, any help will be welcome

[coarse estuary]

man i just cant get enough of chuggaaconroys lp of pokemon white. this is my favorite lets play ever and the like 13th time im playing along while i watch it

[amber basin]

We ball

[quasi dagger]

as a certified xatu lover this is the greatest thing to ever happen to me in this game

[quasi dagger]

does anyone know why i cant catch this shiny iron moth?

it's supposed to let me catch shinies in here i've done it before

i did it 4 seconds ago with a great tusk

[plain cliff]

you cant catch pokes during the rounds these time warped pokemon spawn in pokerogue afaik

i suggest egg farming if u already have an iron moth if u are hunting for its shiny is my suggestion. thats what i did with legendaries

[sweet crypt]

You have not hatched Iron Moth yet

You can only catch Paradox Pokemon in Classic 191-199 if you have already obtsined them from an egg

If you really want Iron Moth, save the run and come back to it after hatching Iron Moth

[quasi dagger]

i shouldve thought about this before i beat the run lmao

welp

[nocturne river]

guys i'm kinda making a rom hack for pokemon emerald (i am almost just changing the pokemon)

what should i do for it

[coarse estuary]

whatever you want to do for it

[supple basalt]

(Ignore them mispelling Incineroar)

But everyone who loves Incineroar:

[sweet crypt]

True...

[inland crane]

And he fakes out

[supple basalt]

Indeed he does

[noble saffron]

First full odds cobblemon shiny

[mighty robin]

incineroar was just the better of the three

though i did pick Decidueye in other versions

and then there's also hisui, which is kinda funny

Can you guys guess which Starter I chose for Johto, Unova, and Alola?

[sleek zephyr]

2 hours ago, my team had so many problems!

• 3 weak against Water and Grass (the marsh was tight to cross!)
• 2 weak against Ground
• Too many physical attackers with high HP

Now:

• One less weak member against Water and Grass
• One more weak member against Ground but I'm planning to replace the starter
• A pair of special attackers (Ramona with a correct 90 base stat, and Rayman whose evolved form is top tier iirc)

[harsh comet]

heyyy so is anyone able to trade me any of the popplio line in scarlet and violet i would really appreciate it

[granite cloud]

johto

[mighty robin]

technically that's true, i did pick cyndaquil when i played PLA

[brisk hedge]

I’m using a Cyndaquil on my current playthrough of PLA

[granite cloud]

WE all love cyndaquil

[cloud lark]

All three of the PLA starters were my favorite of their respective region. Amazing selection they did for that game

[granite cloud]

real

[supple basalt]

Two of them were mine. I never really cared for Decidueye and PLA didn't change that (Rowlet = 10/10 certified cutie though)

Popplio is my fav Gen 7 starter

[brisk hedge]

Non of the 3 were the ones I picked for my first playthrough (I picked Litten in SM, Tepig in BW and Totodile in HGSS)

They’re all solid mons though

[sweet crypt]

I dunno though, you have neither Intimidate nor a lot of double battles

But admittedly I haven't really taken a close look at playthrough performance for starters in general

[brisk hedge]

I wish starter Pokémon had their hidden abilities as their default abilities, since Overgrow, Blaze and Torrent are basically useless

[sweet crypt]

But I mean based purely on Primarina being the best of the Alolan starters for single battles by far and missing none of its tools

It has to be Primarina, no?

You don't run Liquid Voice on Primarina anyways

Incineroar is like the only Alolan starter who suffers from no HA

[frank lily]

Forgot to post this on Tuesday

[cloud lark]

About 12 hours left before the big anniversary Direct. I'm both excited and worried about the direction of the series

[brisk hedge]

I just hope they don’t pander to Gen 1 anywhere near as much as they did for the 20th anniversary

[granite cloud]

KILL IT

[smoky gyro]

Wait

If an opponent uses tailwind do you still get wind rider boost?

I mean the winds are technically up

Its not on your side but they are up

[sweet crypt]

Idts

[west gale]

Nope, tailwind will only activate wind rider if it’s on your side

[inland crane]

Please stay put ducking flygon

🦆

Do save state-load state work for this game 😭

Load save, ball not work, get 2-KOd with sonic beam

[scarlet sandal]

@coarse viper @broken temple @supple basalt

[coarse viper]

Ooo

[cloud lark]

https://youtu.be/vYsxq0zstOs?feature=shared

I really do appreciate the restraint TPC had in this video to not immediately dive into the Kanto bias, giving each of the other starters a spotlight too before the fully animated Charizard. The Dialga slide having the anniversary number rapidly increasing is a nice touch too

[cloud lark]

I'm also realizing that when Pokémon announced the Direct, it was listed as 6:00 PST and not my time zone, so I got up at an ungodly hour when I could have slept a bit longer.

[scarlet sandal]

@coarse viper

[broken temple]

oh hi god

[scarlet sandal]

💀

looks badass

this is the 2nd most expensive card in that pack

[coarse viper]

God Flexing over
Nothing new

[radiant beacon]

May not have Arceus but Ill be happy with my shiny cat https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/853179107838525450/1476477373422506076/Screenshot_20260226_071015_Pokmon_TCGP.jpg?ex=69a295b5&is=69a14435&hm=f95ba2d37ec897e1be50b81a6420c70129efbcb6b741b76c71cafaed8ebc68a7&

[cloud lark]

30 minutes. I'm ready

[cloud lark]

Tempted to categorize this video as the nostalgia montage, but I feel like it's more celebrating the Pokémon themselves so I'll refrain

[pallid mauve]

you didn't get bingo

[cloud lark]

Got close on the middle row and center-left column tho

[pallid mauve]

that dog starter tho

is just

head empty

also, for anyone who missed it and wants to watch

https://youtu.be/Dh2WcRJOVPU?si=KIfezskBv_QCEfMr

[broken temple]

the starters look a bit deformed to mee
but the doggo is cute

[swift quiver]

I watched it on Wolfey's stream

[white thunder]

every returning pokemon in the new trailer for gen 10 (everything after ||frillish||
simply evolves from something that appears in the trailer)

[swift quiver]

Don't forget Gyarados bro

[white thunder]

thats a cloud

[swift quiver]

Can you unsee it?

That cloud is gyarados shaped

[white thunder]

pure flying gyarados regional that is a cloud

[cloud lark]

I'm just amazed it took 30 years to finally get ||a dog starter.|| feels like it would have been a no-brainer

[twin gulch]

Starters: angry bird, doggo, life sized littlest pet shop figure

[swift quiver]

OH NAH NOT LITTLEST PET SHOP

[twin gulch]

The eyes reminded me of it lol

[cloud lark]

||Pombon is definitely gonna be the immediate fan favorite if I had to guess, with Gequa probably being the immediate least popular for a while before a bunch of artists draw it sad and crying like with Oshawott, Froakie, and Popplio before it||

[swift quiver]

||Water starters are always hated||

[broken temple]

gen 10 is basically alola 2

[cloud lark]

||People immediately liked Sobble||

[swift quiver]

||I remember it being hated||

[coarse viper]

You are doing a better marketing to the gen 10 than Nintendo did

[swift quiver]

7.8/10

Too much water

[coarse viper]

Hooen is that you?

[swift quiver]

Ikr

[twin gulch]

||Personally I really like the violet eyes on the water starter. The dog is cute...but the grass starter looks like a bootleg rowlet and I don't like it||

[broken temple]

starter idk if its a "spoiler"
but my friend sent it to me and asked me "didnt they make those already" and i am laughing

basic ahh designs

[white thunder]

honestly i like gecqua

[coarse viper]

Oh wow its really just grass Torchic lol

[broken temple]

thats what i said

[wanton patio]

WE FINALLY GET A GAMET THAT LOOKS UNABASHEDLY PRETTY

[broken temple]

lamo

[swift quiver]

WOLFEY JUST LOST IT... HE SAW SERPERIOR FOR CHAMPIONS THEN SAID "oh if serperior is here then-" AND INCINEROAR APPEARED

[coarse viper]

Yeah but you love to be dramatic a bit

[broken temple]

it is just one frame
lets see how it runs on the switch 2

[cloud lark]

||Which is funny cause we literally never had a dog starter||

[coarse viper]

Doggo is gonna be everyone favourite

Ain't gonna be much of a contest

[twin gulch]

Think I like Gecqua the best of out of the three.

[broken temple]

because i hate nintendo and im passionate about it

[twin gulch]

I am biased to water

[cloud lark]

||People are already desperate for Pombon to stay a quadruped lol||

[wanton patio]

Fair, we might only get one frame per second.

[swift quiver]

DELPHOX HAS LEVITATE NOW

[cloud lark]

We already have the abilities?

[swift quiver]

Only Mega Delphox changed

[wanton patio]

Ive been doing nothing but criticize for YEARS but now?

https://youtu.be/38XHXMdDegg?si=Na640gW4OfQVyclK

[swift quiver]

Greninja has Protean, Chesnaught has Bulletproof, Delphox loses use of Expanding Force

[broken temple]

pokemon made me lose all hope over the past few years so i doubt it will change with this game

atleast it looks pretty

[swift quiver]

Switch 2 only

[wanton patio]

It might be ass if the future but they fact the fixed the damn graphics after all this time gives me some damn hope

[wanton patio]

No crap

[broken temple]

i dont like the human models tho

[swift quiver]

I don't wanna buy a switch 2 and lose all my switch 1 data

[wanton patio]

Yeah that fair

[swift quiver]

Not a fan of the pikachus tbh

[broken temple]

[hidden sandal]

Angry birds looking aah

[broken temple]

welcome back torchic

[sweet crypt]

Real or fake?

[broken temple]

[open swallow]

Wait gen 10 got announced :o

[sweet crypt]

Because if real that's big

[coarse viper]

Oh holy ground weakness is gone

[swift quiver]

Announced

[sweet crypt]

Levitate would go so fucking crazy

[swift quiver]

But no expanding force

[sweet crypt]

I don't play Doubles I don't give a fuck

[mighty robin]

not sure what starter i would pick

[sweet crypt]

Give me that Earthquake immunity

[coarse viper]

Yep

[broken temple]

dehlphox needed a strong ability

[sweet crypt]

Any news on the other ZA Mega Abilities?

[broken temple]

i assume we talkin about the mega?

[swift quiver]

I hope you get hit by Zygarde using Thousand Arrows

[swift quiver]

It's levitate

[mighty robin]

since i'm also not sure if i'll get the game, cuz i'd have to get the switch 2, unless i can just use switch 1, idk backwards compatibility exists

[cloud lark]

All I want for Champions is Mega Glimmora with Merciless

[sweet crypt]

Bro I ain't using this in Ubers anyways

[broken temple]

ye i figured as much

[wooden fiber]

with a special of 159, I think Delphox can stomach not having Expanding force

[swift quiver]

Garchomp Z was announced

[mighty robin]

tho i might go with the water starter

[swift quiver]

The other Z-A megas nothing about their abilities yet

[coarse viper]

What's new go on

[open swallow]

Fr?

[sweet crypt]

I guess Zydog still exists but Zydog's like RU

[swift quiver]

Yep

[broken temple]

beside the hit or miss starters
and surprisingly good visuals
anything else noteable?

[swift quiver]

Jellicent

[coarse viper]

The name is interesting

[broken temple]

oh right switch games cut pokemon out

[swift quiver]

Fire Red and Leaf Green re-release on switch/switch 2

[mighty robin]

not sure if i like the angry bird or the dog

[sweet crypt]

There's probably already people looking at the Pokemon in the trailer

[hidden sandal]

Grass texture still looks a little wonky but other than that this game looks beautiful

[white thunder]

gyarados cloud regional perhaps

[broken temple]

i hope not

[mighty robin]

well, i don't really make my final choice until after i see the final forms

[wanton patio]

No gameplay reveals but there are leaks that were accurate so I'll let you know what the game play gonna be

[swift quiver]

Pokemon Champions has a confirmed "Omni Ring"

[sweet crypt]

Oh also, Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness coming to the Switch 2 I believe

[broken temple]

ye i noticed but didnt want to say anything to not stir a big fuss like the swsh trees

[swift quiver]

NSO Gamecube

[coarse viper]

Whoever buys these deserve their fate
Common now the ROMs for those is more common than ants on the planet

[mighty robin]

but maybe i should get this game

[buoyant jewel]

I think that gen 10 looks solid so far but lowkey the gecko is definitely cooler than the dog

[sweet crypt]

Close enough

[swift quiver]

It can transfer to Home

[wooden fiber]

I mean. The game's coming out next year. so at least another 10 months or improvements

[mighty robin]

since i skipped SV, i can buy the recent game to get the kamen rider pokemon

https://tenor.com/view/lokix-gif-17231414504252098462

[cloud lark]

Gamefreak will do this but still refuse to give Gyarados a decent Flying move

[broken temple]

10 months is a good amount of time to actually make the game work

lets hope

[mighty robin]

https://tenor.com/view/kamen-rider-kamen-rider-ichigo-kamen-rider-nigo-kamen-rider-ichigou-kamen-rider-nigou-gif-21790268

[sweet crypt]

Real

[broken temple]

not like im buyin it but for yall

[buoyant jewel]

Is there a release date?

[coarse viper]

Aint worth the price without any good changes

[swift quiver]

Fire Red and Leaf Green go to home now

[wooden fiber]

Watch them make gen 10 Gyarados like a Flying/dragon special attack, but he now learns only physical flying moves

[flat quiver]

Whoo!!

[swift quiver]

There was no bingo

[mighty robin]

2027

[buoyant jewel]

why does the new set of starters not even look like pokemon

[cloud lark]

Mystery Dungeon is dead in an alleyway at this point

[mighty robin]

four corners?

[buoyant jewel]

Like they dont even look fitting as starters

[swift quiver]

The 4th corner is a no

It was "Brand New Spinoff" - Pokeopia isn't new

[buoyant jewel]

We got an angry bird, another water reptile and someones dog

[broken temple]

grass torchic
fire dog
ugly ahh lizard

[coarse viper]

Soo Torchic is not looking like a starter then

[buoyant jewel]

the lizard looks cooler than the dog

[swift quiver]

Pokeopia was already announced

[broken temple]

well the dog is just a dog

[cloud lark]

How long until PMD fans start the ritualistic sacrifice like the Half Life subreddit

[buoyant jewel]

No

[broken temple]

i dont like the specific breed its based on

poms are useally annoying fluffs

[buoyant jewel]

yep

[coarse viper]

I am looking forward......to the palworld version of that

[mighty robin]

guys, i have a terrible idea

[buoyant jewel]

something tells me we are gonna be looking at a fire electric starter

ngl

[mighty robin]

and i'm only saying it because of the reactions that i find funny

[swift quiver]

GOD DAMN IT ITS A TIME-BASED THING FOR CHAMPIONS

[cloud lark]

I would rather not have there be a starter that's Super Effective to both of the others

[broken temple]

on a scale of 1-10
how hopefull are you that this game will be good from the so little we saw

[mighty robin]

Pombon evolves into a canine Incineroar.

[broken temple]

im geniunally curious about the opinions

[buoyant jewel]

Peak

[swift quiver]

EVERY 22 HOURS THE RANCH SWITCHES POKEMON

[cloud lark]

About an 8

[buoyant jewel]

Like uh 6

[broken temple]

very high

[buoyant jewel]

it looks visually good but its gamefreak

[swift quiver]

IT HAS 10 POKEMON EVERY 22 HOURS

[coarse viper]

Ups

Wrong ping

[swift quiver]

7.8/10

[broken temple]

thank you all for sharing

[swift quiver]

You seen the amount of water?

[broken temple]

🙏

[mighty robin]

Pombon's final evo and Incineroar be like:

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-friends-psychicpebbles-pim-smiling-friends-pim-mr-boss-gif-1373626090718171797

[swift quiver]

THERE'S TOO MUCH WATER

[broken temple]

📞
"ay bro it seems the game is a hit"

[mighty robin]

you ruined it by interupting

[broken temple]

me to my nintendo rep

[coarse viper]

No
Dont ruin this for me
I fucking hate Incineroar

[cloud lark]

I would love Pombon to be our first Fire/Fairy type

[buoyant jewel]

Might lowkey be another hoenn esque region

[mighty robin]

this exact reaction is why i said it

[broken temple]

i have my right to speak
screw you!

🏃‍♂️

[buoyant jewel]

wait i didnt even think of that

THATS 100% GOING TO BE ITS TYPING

[swift quiver]

No, screw inceleroar

[buoyant jewel]

then the gecko will be water poison

im calling it

[sweet crypt]

Here's some of my copium

[coarse viper]

I mean you are really doing a good job selling the game to me Chief

[buoyant jewel]

dont get too hasty now

[cloud lark]

I've seen some people already call Pombon deformed and I genuinely wonder if any of them have ever seen Pomeranians before

[swift quiver]

Mudkip gotta be my least favourite hoenn starter

[sweet crypt]

||There is a species of Gecko in Indonesia that is capable of gliding. Maybe a Water/Flying starter? Alternatively it goes the obvious route and changes species and becomes a Komodo Dragon which I wouldn't hate tbh||

[coarse viper]

I am not
I aint even gonna buy it

[buoyant jewel]

peak

[broken temple]

dont get me wrong
i will not buy this game
or play it in any way shape or form
but i want nintendo to do better for the gamers that still hold the franchise at a high note

[coarse viper]

Treeko is right there

[swift quiver]

It's just so over-glazed

[buoyant jewel]

definitely not

[sweet crypt]

||I am going full Peafowl copium on Browt||

[buoyant jewel]

its gonna be water poison

[swift quiver]

Mudkip is more glazed

[sweet crypt]

||And I don't know what Pombon will become||

[coarse viper]

I mean if hate because Glaze Blaziken is right there lol

[mighty robin]

it'll be a canine version of incineroar

my dad is john nintendo, he told me

[cloud lark]

||Tibetan Mastiff cause they're big and fluffy?||

[buoyant jewel]

Fire fairy pombon, Water poison gecqua and grass psychic or something for browt

[coarse viper]

I hope your socks are wet every time you put them on

[mighty robin]

jokes on you, i'm barefoot in my house 24/7

[buoyant jewel]

im calling it

[sweet crypt]

||Idk I'm tryna think of more indonesian-related stuff for them, though tbf these starters don't really need to be based on indonesian animals||

[coarse viper]

Fire/Fairy
Water/Poison
Grass /Psychic

[buoyant jewel]

why are u using spoilers

this is public news

[buoyant jewel]

Thats what i said

it makes sense lowkey

[mighty robin]

the water starter is the only one that looks interesting

[sweet crypt]

OK but Grass/Psychic is an exceptionally sad type combo

[buoyant jewel]

real

[wooden fiber]

?tag Rule 9

[ebon pond]

No tag Rule found.

[sweet crypt]

Especially comparing to Fire/Fairy and Water/Poison

[broken temple]

tbh i really hope the chicken will be flying
for no other reason then the fact i want a flying starter to be a thing
that isnt charizard

[wooden fiber]

Uhhh

[buoyant jewel]

Yeah but what else could u even make it

[buoyant jewel]

we are in the specific channel bruh

[cloud lark]

You can say the same for Grass/Dark compared to Fire/Ghost and Water/Fighting

[coarse viper]

Fair but at the same time if they still do double type counter among the starters then psychic will make sense
Or the water type must become a fighting type as a secondary typing

[wooden fiber]

Oh, I didn't know we were 2 Months past gen 10 announcment

[broken temple]

oh no i agree that psychic will make sense

[buoyant jewel]

I think it only makes sense the gecko is water poison

[broken temple]

dont get me wrong

[sweet crypt]

Nah fuck balancing the second types I want to ||push Water/Flying gliding gecko starter agenda||

[buoyant jewel]

Also did yall notice ||gecqua has a water droplet on his forehead||

im definitely picking him

[coarse viper]

Water flying is such a Pikachu victim is not even funny

[sweet crypt]

And Grass/Psychic and Grass/Dark are everything victims

[mighty robin]

if the gecko becomes water/dragon with three heads, i'm gonna crash out, or at least mention this because funny

[sweet crypt]

At least Water/Flying is an overall good type

[buoyant jewel]

definitely not plausible

[mighty robin]

i think back in like XY days or like 12 years ago, i was making my own fakemon designs

i had a grass type monkey then grookey shows up and i had a water type reptile that turns into a hydra

[cloud lark]

Fire Zodiac theorists rushing back in to claim thew were right all along with the reveal of Pombon while conveniently ignoring that this means Fennekin doesn't count so the theory is still dead: 🏃 🏃 🏃

[manic dew]

second water now lizard actually

wow words out of order

too excited think good

[simple quartz]

For how much I hate Water as a type

They always do be making Water starters cool or cute

Except this one I don't fuck with it

[coarse viper]

.. But you fucked with the duck one?

[manic dew]

tbh I would say this one is aiming more for gorgeous than cute

[simple quartz]

The duck one is amazing idk wtf you're talking about

[river wave]

||If Pombon stands up I swear to Arceus||

[simple quartz]

And it's Grass so I am contractually obligated to love it

[sweet crypt]

I have no strong feeling towards this possibility

[vernal elk]

chat what do we think about gen 10

[brisk hedge]

Fennekin already killed the theory since it is not a dog

[river wave]

Fair enough it's just we have so many

[coarse viper]

Perhaps the worst looking water starter

[cloud lark]

I'm genuinely curious what the central themes of the games will be, cause there's no way they're actually gonna have the Boxart Legendaries just be Kyogre and Rayquaza

[coarse viper]

God I hope so

[cloud lark]

Nah that's Intelleon

[coarse viper]

No

[cloud lark]

Yes

[coarse viper]

Intelleon is cool

[cloud lark]

It's Diet Coke Greninja

[vernal elk]

thats an insult to diet coke

[coarse viper]

Ah yes a frog and a Lizard are the same

[river wave]

I don't agree with the theory but foxes are dogs since they are part of the canidae family

[sweet crypt]

I actually like Quaquaval

[cloud lark]

Non mammalian stealth agents with emphasis on lanky humanoid proportions

[coarse viper]

A ninja and a spy are the same

[brisk hedge]

Don't insult my man Greninja like that

[vernal elk]

right

[cloud lark]

Ninjas are literally japan spies

[vernal elk]

you guys think this new gen is gonna suck or nah

[river wave]

Depends on if we get spinda

[simple quartz]

Oh you were talking about Quaxly

[brisk hedge]

Given that it's not coming out until 2027 I have hope

[simple quartz]

That makes even less sense Quaxly is the blorbo to end all blorbos

And then it evolves into a crimedoer gay fighting duck

That's the real ball knowledge right there

[vernal elk]

I'm with that

[river wave]

Darkwing duck?

[mighty robin]

do you think the new pokemon game would be able to be played on switch 1?

[sweet crypt]

I'd say dog refers to specifically animals in the canis genus

[vernal elk]

doubt it

[cloud lark]

The visuals actually looked nice from what they showed

[mighty robin]

tho i suppose a better question

would me buying the new pokemon game and switch 2 even be worth it?

[simple quartz]

Yeah gay Darkwing Duck is amazing

[vernal elk]

no

[mighty robin]

considering i haven't even touched my switch in some years, or even played a video game in some years

[river wave]

If we get spinda it's a good game. If we get all 4,294,967,296 Spinda patterns it's a great game. If we get more spinda than that it's GOTY.

[cloud lark]

Still waiting on a good Zelda or Mario game to justify Switch 2

[mighty robin]

would it even be worth it to get the new pokemon game?

[mighty robin]

with this in mind

i'm gonna go look at the switch games i have

[vernal elk]

unless you're a youtuber or something, the switch 2 is

contraversial

[sweet crypt]

If you don't play video games buying a video game is probably not a good idea

[mighty robin]

wherever tf i put my switch

[simple quartz]

I wouldn't call it controversial it's just a really popular punching bag online

[vernal elk]

its a great punching bag

[cloud lark]

Buying a new console right now with the RAM situation might also not be the most fiscally wise decision

[simple quartz]

I don't even have Switch 2 or care about any Nintendo console since 3DS but I wouldn't put stock in the online discourse about it

[coarse viper]

I am in general buying Nintendo products so xD

[sweet crypt]

If I had a Switch 2 already I'd buy the games

But I don't

So uhh

[high sapphire]

i wanna play gen 10 but the switch 2 is too expansiveeeeee

[sweet crypt]

That complicates things

[simple quartz]

I don't think you should even buy consoles nowadays

[mighty robin]

ok, i'm not sure where i put my switch

[simple quartz]

Like just in general not even Switch 2 imo

[vernal elk]

I'm expecting the game to run poorly

[coarse viper]

To be clear its not that I wouldn't enjoy the games I am easy to please
I am just in the "fk Nintendo" camp

[vernal elk]

right there with you

[simple quartz]

You'd rather have your own multi-function device that also happen to play games instead of specifically just a device to buy games on with how the world is rn

[vernal elk]

right

[cloud lark]

The tropical theming the trailer demonstrated makes me feel this will be another generation of Ice getting absolutely nothing

[high sapphire]

the problem is, when gen 10 comes out a lotta youtubers i watch are gonna play it, so i'll have to try my hardest to not see any spoilers

[river wave]

Shaved ice vannilish regional form

[simple quartz]

Well considering Gen 9 really gave Ice its moment I think it's fair (well not really) that they basically put Ice on the dirtnap once more

[sweet crypt]

||Yeah, don't get your hopes up||

[high sapphire]

it definitely looked like it

it seemed like either greece or that

[sweet crypt]

||Wait nvm I forgot we can't talk about leaks, self terminating those specific messages||

[cloud lark]

Ice is the least populous type. It has less representation than Fairy, a type released way late into the series lifespan. It deserves a few more reps.

[river cairn]

I think the backgrounds looked nice. The pokemon still clearly have that weird like felt texture tho

[high sapphire]

yeah

[simple quartz]

If the leak is true

On where it is

My very petty wish is that Nintendo just loads the game with a lot of queer characters

[river cairn]

Seems true. Leaks had this down pat

[simple quartz]

Or queer-coded ones idc I need to see people in my nation suffer

(I can't say the context just know politics is really ugly right now over here)

[river wave]

The only change is attract works on all genders. The meta is irreverisbly damaged.

[brisk hedge]

Friendly reminder that the vast majority of leaks are fake, and therefore all leaks should be treated as fake

[river cairn]

What do we think they’re doing for the final evos? My guess rn is unfortunately Grass/Flying, then Fire/Fairy, and maybe Water/Psychic

[simple quartz]

If it's true I want Nintendo to be so woke and queer it'll put off all the normie weirdos off the franchise

If it's fake thank fucking god

[sweet crypt]

I'm sticking to my Water/Flying agenda

[high sapphire]

i really hope game freak does some type changes for existing pokemon

[simple quartz]

So there's my petty wish

[sweet crypt]

As for the other 2, Fire/Fairy would be neat

[brisk hedge]

What's unfortunate about that?

[vernal elk]

I was thinking water poison

[sweet crypt]

And I mean, ||dogs are generally seen as friendly||

[simple quartz]

Anyway I wonder if this is gonna be the generation where we're finally getting a X/Dragon as the final evo starter

[sweet crypt]

Grass/Flying is hot garbage

(In battle)

[river cairn]

Water Poison makes a lot more sense actually

[simple quartz]

I think it's overdue we're getting like an X/Dragon thing happening

[brisk hedge]

Yeah, that's true

[river wave]

||fire/dragon dog is a uniqe idea||

[vernal elk]

yeah bright blue geck thats gotta be venomous

[simple quartz]

Maybe add Fairy and Steel there too for that coveted type matchup rps

[river cairn]

It’s stinky + I actually misremembered that Decidueye isn’t Grass/Flying already

[simple quartz]

Well Dragon gets fucked by Fairy and (kinda) Steel but yknow what I mean

[broken temple]

just make the chicken really fat
as grass flying and give it a cool ability and ill be happy

it sounds funny

[vernal elk]

I like that

[simple quartz]

Yeah Thick Fat is an option lol

[sweet crypt]

The bird will probably be a chicken but I will cope and pray for it to be a peafowl instead

[simple quartz]

Or Grass/Dragon but mayhaps that's too radical

[river cairn]

Thick Fat might save a Grassy/Flying mom

[brisk hedge]

Personally, I want the fire starter to be fire/fairy since that's the last unused fire type combo, and it'd be cool to see it for the first time on a starter

[sweet crypt]

This is a pretty good opportunity for it probably

[simple quartz]

Damn now I really want that angry bird to be a thick fatass dragonbird for the final evo

[river cairn]

I’d bet a lot of money on it

Just makes a ton of sense

[sweet crypt]

I mean when someone thinks peafowl they probably think of tropical regions

[simple quartz]

Water and Grass has been fused with anything at this point right

[cloud lark]

Not too crazy to imagine this happening, given how Gwynn was in ZA

[river cairn]

Tho if it’s Fire/Fairy and Water/Poison, I don’t think there’s a type that fills those type trios. Steel would be closest

Oh wait hold I’m backwards

[coarse viper]

Its grass Torchic
They will make a Grass Blaziken

[river cairn]

There’s still nothing that fills it

[broken temple]

not another grass fighting

😭

[cloud lark]

Please not another Fighting starter

We've had so many Fighting starters in a row

Hisuian Decidueye, Quaquaval, Embore...

[river cairn]

Ima be real I thought it’d be grass/fighting but we just did H-decidueye (Altho that didn’t stop H-Typhlosion and Skele)

[vernal elk]

yeah we need a switchup

[sweet crypt]

We've also been getting a lot of Dark in a row too

[brisk hedge]

I just want all of the starters to have duel types

[coarse viper]

I only meant aesthetically but I am glad I caused a meltdown

[sweet crypt]

Greninja, Incin, H-Sam, Meows

[river cairn]

Yeah I don’t think they’ll do the Johto or Galar route again

[broken temple]

the edgy type sales apperently

[brisk hedge]

God I hope not

The Galar starters were the worst in the franchise

[sweet crypt]

Quite a bit of Ghost representation too with Decidueye, H-Typh and Dirge

[river cairn]

I mean we’re on starters 28-30

[cloud lark]

I'm really just hoping for Fire/Fairy above all else

[river cairn]

There’s gonna be a fair bit of rep for everything

[simple quartz]

wait

Hear me out

How about fusing these guys with a more unexpected/weaker type instead

Idk like

[river cairn]

Except ice and bug cause they’re purposefully designed to be weak types

[simple quartz]

Grass/Rock, Fire/Bug, Water/Poison

[vernal elk]

grass steel

[sweet crypt]

Ice definitely isn't purposefully bad

[simple quartz]

Okay Water/Poison is actually pretty good so Water/Ice

[sweet crypt]

Ice is made as a glass cannon type except Gamefreak forgot to give it to glass cannons

[river cairn]

It was designed as the one way to stop dragons

[sweet crypt]

Same with Rock

[river cairn]

And weak vs everything else

[simple quartz]

Or swap them around idk like Fire/Rock, Water/Bug, Grass/Ice

[sweet crypt]

Ice is a genuine Top 3 offensive type

[simple quartz]

It's time Abomasnow and Magcargo got a new friend I tell ya

[sweet crypt]

You can't write this shit off even if it's ass defensively

[brisk hedge]

Ice isn't purposefully good either

[cloud lark]

Ground, Flying, and Grass:

[sweet crypt]

Most types aren't purposefully good or bad

[river cairn]

It’s a great coverage type. It’s the worst defensive type and that overrides it into a type they won’t give to starters imo

[simple quartz]

Yeah but the funny niche tho

[cloud lark]

Fairy and Steel were definitely intentionally made really good

[vernal elk]

have we had grass psychic before?

[sweet crypt]

Keyword most

[simple quartz]

Plus it's at least a break from Fighting/Fairy/Dark/Psychic or some shit

[brisk hedge]

I'm pretty sure they made Normal purposefully bad

[brisk hedge]

Not on a starter

[sweet crypt]

Normal was actually pretty decent in older gens

[simple quartz]

How are we 10 gens in and there's really only one Steel-typed starter

[vernal elk]

well there ya go

[cloud lark]

Except it was arguably the best type in gen 1

[river cairn]

Most types do have a purpose because of how they’re designed to be encountered in game relative to frequency

[sweet crypt]

Really good in Gen 1 particularly

Same with Psychic

And they both fell off a cliff

And are now ass

But I don't think they're ass on purpose

[river cairn]

Your bugs/normals/flyings are all going to be very standard and bland because it’s the first types new players are meant to encounter

[coarse viper]

Cuz Sinnoh is peak thats why

[simple quartz]

Yeah them being sucky now didn't mean they're bad on purpose they're just yknow

[brisk hedge]

And then they took away every single advantage it had

[simple quartz]

Powercrept

[sweet crypt]

I think Gamefreak just got too spooked by them

[river cairn]

That you’re able to beat with ANY starter

[sweet crypt]

Except Flying is a great type

But like

[river cairn]

Think of the early flyings you encounter in games

[sweet crypt]

The only types that strike me as purposefully strong or weak nowadays are like

[cloud lark]

Flying Pokémon being bland hasn't been true since Gen 4, and Bugs have had plenty of good rep

[vernal elk]

true

[sweet crypt]

Bug, Fairy and Steel

[cloud lark]

Debatably Ground too IMO

[sweet crypt]

(Specifically for the types themselves, as with the distribution of Psychic and Dragon, Gamefreak wants you to think these types are good, though only the latter is)

(And it isn't quite S tier good)

[simple quartz]

I've been saying for awhile Normal should get buffed to both be immune to Fairy and super effective to it and Psychic to just actually get either more resistance or less types resisting it

[cloud lark]

Rock feels like it was meant to be good but they messed it up

[sweet crypt]

Psychic is a bottom 3 type I will die on this hill

Arguably even Bottom 2

[vernal elk]

still love dragon tho

[simple quartz]

They didn't mess it up they just are dogshit in designing Rock types

[sweet crypt]

Carried by Psychic Type Pokemon having cracked stats

[sweet crypt]

True btw

[simple quartz]

Imagine if Ice never had it's rare exemplars like Weavile or Chien Pao or Cloyster

[sweet crypt]

Rock and Ice are the types most sabotaged by the stats of the Pokemon they're given 2

2 fucking glass cannon types that are almost exclusively on slow defensive Pokemon

Why

[simple quartz]

Every good Rock mons are good despite them being Rock

[sweet crypt]

Garganacl is a good Rock type because it always becomes a Ghost type instead

[river cairn]

I actually disagree and think the only non-bland route 1 birds ever are Rookidee and if you’re counting Flamigo

[cloud lark]

Glimmora is a good Rock type, though it's mostly Poison

[vernal elk]

Rookidee is that boi

[cloud lark]

Talonflame and Staraptor are bland to you? Really?

[simple quartz]

Like Terrakion is kinda sorta good back then but even then it was pretty clear Rock type was such an anchor against it

[sweet crypt]

Glimmora does actually have the offences to abuse Rock being good offensively

Actually another bad thing about Rock

[simple quartz]

And then Para Terrakion exists to remind you that oh that could've gone way worse

[sweet crypt]

Its good moves

[river cairn]

Yes the red bird and the big bird that learns close combat at level 30 are bland to me stylistically

[sweet crypt]

AKA: Stealth Rocks, 50 signatures and nothing else

[river cairn]

They’re cool. But they’re generally bland as creatures

[sweet crypt]

Except Iron Boulder's Rock type actually goes crazy

But it's also a Psychic type

Womp womp

[simple quartz]

Yeah so it's all bad in the end

[vernal elk]

I believe there has to be a coolness factor when building your team

[coarse viper]

Corvinight my beloved
Does Talonflame count here?

[simple quartz]

If it could somehow be good as a Rock type another anchor comes in to remind you why it's still ass

[red oak]

GEN 10!!!!!

[sweet crypt]

Sometimes I contemplate if Rock/Bug or Rock/Steel would be a better type on Iron Boulder

[simple quartz]

I love my favorite offensive Rock type moves such as

[broken temple]

ill wait for gen 11

[simple quartz]

Uh

[broken temple]

[simple quartz]

Rock Slide?????

[coarse viper]

Stone edge
Smack down
Rock slide

[river cairn]

For us as older players who know how the game works for sure. For the 10 year old who is playing for the first time I don’t think that factors in when looking at Starly/Fletchling/Pikipek

[sweet crypt]

Rock Slide has lower usage than Accelerock btw

And Rock Blast

[simple quartz]

Oh no wait Accelerock yes and also all these other signatures that sure exists

[cloud lark]

How old is Indonesia from a geological sense? Is it old enough to have notable fossils?

[vernal elk]

[sweet crypt]

As in less Pokemon use Rock Slide than Accelerock and Rock Blast

[simple quartz]

We do

Well having fossils yes

Notable is uhhhhhhhhhh

[sweet crypt]

Less Pokemon use ROCK SLIDE than ACCELEROCK

[coarse viper]

Diancie also has Diamond storm..or whatever her move was

[sweet crypt]

It's so over

[river cairn]

Are you saying percentage wise of Pokemon that learn the move?

[simple quartz]

Oh actually we did find the Homo Erectus here

[sweet crypt]

I'm saying the Pokemon that actually use the move

Nobody uses Rock Slide

[simple quartz]

We're not specifically dinosaur findings really we're more the actual prehistoric humanity findings

[sweet crypt]

They all use Stone Edge, Loaded Dice Rock Blast or a signature move instead

[river cairn]

That doesn’t clarify anything and this is a generalization that I believe to be incredibly false

[sweet crypt]

Unless they're playing VGC I guess

[river cairn]

What context are you talking about

[sweet crypt]

Singles

Singles Competitive to be specific

[red oak]

Floofiest doggo has been revealed!

[sweet crypt]

Genuinely I found like what, 1 user of Rock Slide?

And it was an alternate choice between it and Rock Blast on Regirock

[river cairn]

Stone Edge yes but I think more mons use rock slide over accelrock or just in general run a different coverage

[sweet crypt]

Leftovers Rock Blast btw

Not Loaded Dice

It's so over

Maybe it changed to actually favour Rock Slide though who knows

This was a while ago

But I am 100% certain you could find more Rock Blasts and Stone Edges than Rock Slides

[river cairn]

What tier are you talking about too cause Lycanroc I don’t think has ever been above UU

[sweet crypt]

Whatever tier you're actually gonna use the Pokemon in

[cloud lark]

Trying to make a fossil Pokémon out of early human ancestors feels like it could be a minefield of controversy Gamefreak would rather avoid. If any fossils, Gen 10 would probably have more Cambrian stuff

[vernal elk]

what if its fire/electric bcuz its so floofy it creates static electricity

[sweet crypt]

If we're talking OU then the most used Rock move is probably Stone Edge as Coverage followed by Salt Cure on Garganacl then Mighty Cleave on Boulder

[simple quartz]

Honest to god there's really no notable dino-related finds in Indonesia

[sweet crypt]

Boulder isn't even OU proper

[red oak]

That would be great.

[sweet crypt]

It's like UUBL

[simple quartz]

Tbf I don't know anything about French paleontology but I doubt there's some big discoveries from them specifically of trexes and brachios

[coarse viper]

Electric types also tend to be mean spirited cute packages and that fits Pomeranians to a T

[vernal elk]

yes

[river cairn]

My bets are like 80/20 Fire/Fairy then Fire/Electric

[cloud lark]

I doubt Gamefreak would make one starter super effective against both of the others these days

[vernal elk]

double yes

[coarse viper]

Make it water/Ground then

Instead of poison

[simple quartz]

It's been awhile since Swampert and Water/Ground in general innit

[river cairn]

I think they could do electric cause that lets them do ground and flying

[coarse viper]

Its a type combo we haven't seen since swampert anyway

[river cairn]

Its name is Pombon right?

[coarse viper]

Plus if the other one is indeed grass flying then it will completely be full circle double type countering each other

[simple quartz]

It'd be a great bit if they repeat Decidueye again where they give you Grass/Flying at first then sike

Grass/Dragon (please I beg)

[vernal elk]

boom grass ground cuz its a flightless bird

[mortal relic]

I wonder what the legends will be? Its based on Indonesia right?

[red oak]

Grass/Flying, Fire/Electric and Water/Ground?

[river cairn]

Idk how you’d turn it’s name or design into a dragon really without a crazy alteration

[vernal elk]

like an ostrich

[river cairn]

Grass/Steel because it had to harden its feathers against predators

[vernal elk]

yes

[mortal relic]

Its called the bean chick pokemon

[vernal elk]

like a honey buzzard

[mortal relic]

Which is a title

[jolly vapor]

i want to Play Gale of darkness again

[mortal relic]

Soon

[coarse viper]

Thats my guess yeah

[simple quartz]

I'll take anything really

[mortal relic]

They don't want to acknowledge it as mainline sadly so its only on nso and not gonna be home compabilitle

[simple quartz]

As long as it's not any of the Dark/Fighting/Fairy/Psychic

I'm real tired of that shit

[mortal relic]

I think fire fairy would be fun

[simple quartz]

I'll take Fire/Fairy sure but other than that god anything but those

[sweet crypt]

I love Grass/Steel

[broken temple]

i want a fire fairy but idk if the doggo is the right fit

it depends on what they will do with the evo

[sweet crypt]

Ferrothorn my GOAT

[coarse viper]

If they go grass Steel then we will get a Fire/Fighting

[mortal relic]

We'll see how it evolves.

[simple quartz]

Grass/Steel is the cooler Bug/Steel I love them

[mortal relic]

I am torn on who to pick but we have plenty of time to think on it and see the evos

Its either gonna be the gecko or the dog

[sweet crypt]

Grass/Steel is easily one of the most viable candidates for number 1 best defensive type (mainly competing against other Steel dual types because Steel is a fucking cracked defensive type)

[simple quartz]

I don't play the game but if I do

Easily angry blorbo borb

I have to it's Grass it's my GOAT type my beloved

[mortal relic]

Browt is cute but not my cup of tea. It is adorably angry tho

Oh we have a channel for this now. Ig we should go their

[jolly vapor]

i just want to See some of the new Mons Design i guess in the middle of the year they Show more new Mons and Details hoping u can use the new megas in this game

[cinder iron]

I'm doing 5 playthroughs of FRLG at the same time

[sage moss]

New games seem interesting time to avoid all the trailers until then. Ive done it before I can do it again

I will say the new grass’ greed is ravenous

[river cairn]

The starter’s designs are so contrary to this but I hope one day they do a starter trio where it does just blend the types

Water/Fire, Fire/Grass, Grass/Water

I thought that would’ve been cool for Gen 10 but that fluffy dog aint getting wet and I think the bird would sink

[brisk hedge]

What if the fluffy dog gets vegetation and the bird gets lit on fire?

Oh wait, that’s 2 fire/grass types nevermind

[hard plume]

abilities are back

....I sound like a frickin crazy person saying that

[sweet crypt]

Was there any doubt behind it?

[hard plume]

STEREO ROTOM

AAAAAAH GREEDENT MY BELOVED

CHEF DENTE!

[quasi linden]

What do we actually know about Pokemon champions? Did the Pokemon Presents just say we're now required to use it in the Pokemon Worlds Championship?

We really need more info on this, I can't find anything

[quasi linden]

NEVERMIND.

[west gale]

The abilities for Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox and Mega Greninja were revealed.
Chesnaught keeps Bulletproof, Mega Delphox gets Levitate and Mega Greninja gets Protean

[broken temple]

battlepass

😭

[inland crane]

Okay game sucks I want a refund

[inland crane]

Basic but Meganinja could be interesting to see

[supple basalt]

Bro I've never been more lost in my life. This is what happens when you leave a story oriented pokemon game alone for 4 months

[cloud lark]

Post-nerf Protean on Mega Greninja is rough...

[supple basalt]

My pals aren't in town I have no clue where they are actually. Like I'm starting to think my game is broken that's how lost I am

[rugged comet]

whats the quests thing say?

[supple basalt]

I'm at the Teila resort. Been all through the town and even backtracked to Aquamarine Cave

[rugged comet]

what was the last completed quest?

[rugged comet]

do you remember the last story thing you did?

[supple basalt]

Nope it's been a few months since

[rugged comet]

do you have rock climb?

[supple basalt]

Yeah. I think I have to have it for Aquamarine Cave don't I?

[rugged comet]

yeah, did you use it when going back through?

[supple basalt]

I did

[rugged comet]

Ok so melia isn't in any house?

[supple basalt]

None of them. Melia isn't there, Briaxen isn't, the only familiar NPC I see is Amanda vibing outside the volcano

[rugged comet]

what does she say?

[supple basalt]

Talked to her about 3 times now

[rugged comet]

is tesla in her office?

[supple basalt]

She isn't

[rugged comet]

do you have the galar slowpoke?

[supple basalt]

That's a negative

[rugged comet]

ok so I think you have to find amber in Aquamarine cave

[supple basalt]

I went all over Aquamarine Cave though. Aside from a few trainers it's empty

[rugged comet]

hm

[supple basalt]

I remember coming through this cave with my pals so I know I didn't just leave them behind XD

Oh I found smth

Where tf did these guys come from

[rugged comet]

who?

I really need to continue my playthrough, my memory is foggy

[supple basalt]

These lol. I activated it by coming into this room and then exiting through the stairs

[rugged comet]

ok so now you go to town I think

[supple basalt]

I exited through the wrong exit with that room I think

I also didn't have rock climb yet, I had the ability to use the golden claw XD So I thought I had it

[rugged comet]

ah

[steady vector]

guess that puts to rest the argument that legends arnt main line games XD

[lyric cedar]

Hey all, I'm wanting to dive into some good rom hacks. I've tried the odd few but I want to know what ones are some of the best I should try out. Obviously, I've played Pathways and Infinite Fusion, I've dabbled in a couple others but not many so any that peeps can suggest some would be great!

[supple basalt]

First you need to specify ROMHack or Fangame

They are not the same thing lol

[ebon pond]

No tag rom found.

[supple basalt]

?tag roms

[ebon pond]

Infinite Fusion is NOT a rom, it is a fangame! Read below for more info on the differences.

Rom/ISO = A direct copy of a game taken from an official disc or cartridge. These require an emulator or official hardware to play.

Rom Hack = An edited version of a ROM/ISO. These usually require adding a patch to the original ROM/ISO. (ROM + Radical Red Patch = Radical Red Rom Hack) These require an emulator or official hardware to play.

Fan Game = A custom created game file with more freedom and variety than ROM Hacks. These use specific game engines, programs and files to build upon the official games base mechanics. [ex: Pokemon Infinite Fusion] These can not be played via an emulator or official hardware. Instead, it is a simple .exe (executable) file.

Remember! Resources to illegal content, including ROMs, is not allowed in the server as stated by Rule 6 of our #rules

[lyric cedar]

ah my bad, honestly, I'm good with any. I guess I probably prefer games where they take the basic concept of pokemon and then add like a whole new thing, while its fun seeing how things are modified but when you end up just playing through like... pokemon emerald again with a slight twist it can feel a bit same-y so games with a new storyline, new evos, new pokemon, new gimick, those are preferred, kinda like Infinite Fusion 😄 So, yea, I guess fan games then?

[stoic cloud]

I dont know if I should play Pokémon infinite fusion tonight or super mariomon

[analog timber]

I wish Colo and XD were

[steady vector]

I mean. Just cus they’re not doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them

[analog timber]

but they SHOULD be because you could trade with RSEFRLG and them

[brisk hedge]

I wish that I could own Colo and XD

[brisk hedge]

You know what I just realized? They didn't give us a release date for Z-A's Home compatibility

[split yoke]

huh... ok then

[simple oxide]

Fun fact: the original Japanese version of that card didn't have the thing saying it wasn't legal. There are official rulings for it.

[spice pilot]

I just got the notification and pictures from Google search and it's so cool that Pokemon wind and wave are for Switch 2. I only have Nintendo Switch which is not very compatible with these new versions, but if I could afford it, I would buy a Switch 2 and purchase wind or wave. Right now I could not afford it, these games are very expensive. 😄

[brittle minnow]

playing Emerald for the first time and look at my beautiful Seekers 💖 i only just caught Screamer ignore that he's underlevelled

Thundercracker will join the team eventually but i have yet to find a Bagon

[uncut oracle]

so what's everybody's thoughts on those new starters? we got angry bird, toby fox, and littlest pet shop

[atomic sparrow]

Hey i was wondering if theres any fan games that yall would recommend because i want more pkmn and am done with if fusio

[tardy anchor]

any improvements you all can think of?

floor 175 rn

highest I've been so far

thinking of getting a better electric type

[sweet crypt]

What are your Naganadel's stats?

[tardy anchor]

ngl it has been a menace throughout the run

bro just needs 1 beast boost and then starts to 1 shot absolutely every1

[sweet crypt]

Do you have a Dragon move on it?

[tardy anchor]

Dragon Pulse

[sweet crypt]

I highly recommend you lead with Naganadel in 195 then

[tardy anchor]

fits its ability and stat

[sweet crypt]

For reasons you probably understand

[tardy anchor]

do you think I should replace some1 from my team?

cause Rotom has been pretty bad

[sweet crypt]

I mean depends on what you encounter, really

[tardy anchor]

and if I take magnazone then Ill have 3 steel types

[sweet crypt]

Also if possible to try to get a Modest Mint for Naganadel

[tardy anchor]

oh yeah I forgot it doesnt have it

[sweet crypt]

And watch out for a certain serpentine dragon having certain amounts of Carboses

3 would be very dangerous to keep Naganadel in on

[tardy anchor]

ohk

[sweet crypt]

As would 2

If it only has 1 Carbos, Naganadel should still outspeed since you also have 1 Carbos

Actually, tbf
