THEY'RE BOTH CHARACTERS WITH IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS TO THEIR GRANDFATHER AS WELL

How didn't this click at Gamefreak

[meager oasis]

I also like janine but only because she uses an ariados in pokemon ex or whatever that weird mobile game was called

[white jungle]

Pokémon Master Sex*

Common mistake dw

[white jungle]

||Housewife man real||

[icy forge]

||I could swear in Spain dont teach us Home Economics||

[white jungle]

||Y'know I was actually thinking about that because I also noticed that in Spain people don't seem to ride around on giant lizards shaped like motorbikes||

[white jungle]

||I ain't taking this shit from a France believer||

||Get outta here you fed||

[forest egret]

Lol

[prime topaz]

it's cool that game freak is putting in representation of the competitive Pokemon scene

[white jungle]

Someone draw Fidough as the homophobic dog

[icy forge]

Sadly. Cause sure roads will be calmer

[white jungle]

||HOLY FUCK||

||SLITHER MOTH JUST GOT BETTER||

||IT DOESN'T HAVE A STUBBY BODY LIKE IT SEEMS FROM THE FRONT SHOTS||

||IT HAS A PURPLE ABDOMIN KINDA LIKE VOLCARONA'S BUT IT LOOKS SORT OF LIKE A CHUNKY LIZARD TAIL||

||https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMF5af2Cw/||

||IT'S LITERALLY BIG LARVESTA THIS IS MY FAVOURITE POKÉMON||

[vestal aurora]

||SLITHER WING MY BELOVED ||

||totally going on the team||

[white jungle]

||This is the only shot I found of its normal tail colour I love it so much||

||This is the best thing to come out of scarlet and violet||

[vestal aurora]

||AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA||

||that's all i can say about this||

[white jungle]

||IT'S PERFECT||

[white jungle]

||IT LOOKS LIKE A MOTH STEGOSAURUS||

[vestal aurora]

||Sither wing is totally my favourite mon ever omg||

[white jungle]

||I believe in Slither Wing supremacy||

||I don't think I've received this much comfort looking at a Pokémon in years||

||It's a moth, it's a sheep, it's a stegosaurus, and it knows karate||

[vestal aurora]

||I can look at it forever without getting tired of it||

[white jungle]

||EVEN THE LITTLE DETAILS LIKE IT'S EYES BEING DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL VOLCARONA||

||This is everything I've ever wanted from paradox forms||

||I never had a definitive favourite Pokémon and it was irritating, now I have one||

[vestal aurora]

||The eyelashes do a lot for me, makes it look more god like||

[white jungle]

||The colours as well it's so good||

[inner kernel]

Oh shit ok I actually like it a lot now

[white jungle]

ALL WILL SUCCUMB

[inner kernel]

||I thought it was a stubby body so I was very meh on it lol||

[white jungle]

||I loved it even with the stubby body because I'm pretty sure you do get moths which like form with their wings stuck together||

||It doesn't get Victory dance though which is bullshit||

||It proves what I've known since the beginning||

||Nintendo fucking hates physical attackers||

[vestal aurora]

||i mean it is a signature move so...i kinda understand why they didn't||

[urban owl]

No, they are just more prominent overall and thus are less special

[white jungle]

||It would have made perfect sense for a fighting type Volcarona though when Volca's main playstyle is quiver dance.||

||Frankly it should have at least gotten dragon dance, because... Look at it. But it doesn't have that either.||

[white jungle]

That's literally a fault of their own design and doesn't explain why they consistently make great designs for physical attackers without giving them the tools to succeed.

[white jungle]

Should note ||future paradox Volcarona didn't even get quiver dance. Frankly I see both of them being weaker than Base volca because they have quad weaknesses and no speed-boosting setup moves||

||Does that make me like Slither Wing less? Absolutely not it's still my favourite Pokémon of all time. But it stings.||

[urban owl]

I mean, eh. I feel that not everything needs to succeed. If everything succeeds, nothing succeeds. And they overall try to make every mon cool or fit certain aesthetics. Just cuz one mon is cool in your eyes doesnt mean it is for someone else. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[white jungle]

Hmm

No.

You're wrong I reckon.

[urban owl]

isnt that belittling :/

[white jungle]

I never argued that all Pokémon need to be similar, or fit aesthetics or whatever

[urban owl]

Im more arguing the fact that not all cool mons succeed. Which is true, and it should be that way

and even still, just because you find one mon cool, doesnt mean the same person will, and thus your logic is flawed

Because it cant be objectively applied

[white jungle]

Nope. That sucks. All Pokémon should at least have the tools to succeed.

[urban owl]

:/

Every pro will like to disagree respectively and Im leaving this here

[pastel lark]

Watching someone play the game and ||wtf pawmo evolves at level 56||

[urban owl]

Im not repeating yesterday

[urban owl]

||Unova moment||

[white jungle]

Literally everyone would be happier if their favourite Pokémon both looked good to them and was functional

I don't give a shit what pro Pokémon players think really

[urban owl]

True, but it cant be like that

Good for you, and I could care less about your opinion

[white jungle]

It can, and it should. It's not a balanced game already.

[urban owl]

Just stop shoving it down peoples throats like objective fact

[white jungle]

Stop offering to challenge it if you don't wanna debate about it then. My statement could have been left as it was, I don't like that they've given ||paradox Volcarona a worse moveset than its base form, because it's a super cool Pokémon and deserves a decent moveset. All Pokémon do, because all Pokémon are someone's Thing.||

You inserted yourself into that, man, idk what to tell ya

[urban owl]

Plus I mean, everyone would like their faves to viable. That is fair. However you cant just say, "ignore pros and what they think cuz idc," because they are still a part of the player base and fan base

Its incredibly rude and belittling

[white jungle]

They're a minute part of the player base. As an Overwatch player I see shit like that all the time, people at the top 1% complaining about niche things that don't bother most people. Something can be done for them, but people shouldn't have their favourite Mons be poorly equipped just because it might upset a pro.

[urban owl]

I wasnt even trying to challenge it. I was providing my input on what you said, which as far as I know of, isnt wrong to do. Is it open for debate sure, but you dont go mid debate/discussion and say, "No, you're wrong" and expect things to not escalate at all.

[white jungle]

If anything the mark of a pro would be... I dunno, adapting in a constantly changing game?

[urban owl]

More people play at tournaments than you think. Some may be casual players, but many can put themselves into the competitive/pro player base

[white jungle]

I do think you're wrong though, and I explained why. That's exactly what debate is.

[urban owl]

Then put that in there, in the original message

[white jungle]

I did. I said "you're wrong I reckon." Then proceeded to explain why I think that.

[urban owl]

I dont know, and i dont care honestly. Learn connotations better. The way you phrased it sounded more concrete and absolute ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My bad, but honestly I do see what you are doing as a trend of shoving some more broad opinions down on people with mixed results

[white jungle]

Nothing trendy about it, cool Pokémon have been neutered since the dawn of time. I think Machamp is awesome but it sucks ass.

And I could almost accept the standpoint that regular easy to come by Pokémon like that can be weaker

But ||Paradox Pokémon are special late-game content like the Ultra Beasts. They should, at the very least, be given a moveset comparable to their base forms.||

And I ain't shoving that anywhere

It's a discussion channel. I discussed a thing.

Seems you were discuss-ted by it...

||https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMF5usSrU/||

Okay ||Slither Wing sweep obv but Houndstone is fucking amazing||

[prime topaz]

you can't shove opinions down people's throats by typing it out in a discord chat

[gaunt frigate]

||Do you guys know if there's any info out about the legendary quartet other than their names?||

[prime topaz]

||i think they're all dark secondary type||

[gaunt frigate]

||I guess no clue as where or how to find them yet?||

[prime topaz]

if there is I haven't seen how yet

[viscid adder]

||THAT'S POST GAME, MAN||

||and its also a fetchquest!||

[gaunt frigate]

||I think i'm the post-game rn, does it have anything to do with the weird doors||

[viscid adder]

||yep||

[gaunt frigate]

||god i have only found two of those, not even the same color... I can tell this is gonna be long, thank you!||

[orchid harness]

||yeah, if you do the history lessons i think you it marks the doors on your map ||

[cobalt thicket]

@lament glen located 😎

||skrelp is in fact, in scarlet||

||lol i just found a bug that put me under the map||

[vestal aurora]

Lesss gooo

[prime topaz]

another quality gamefreak product

[lament glen]

thats so weird

[hazy scarab]

||anyone got thay link of moves for each pokemon?||

[lament glen]

so either they arent version exclusives afterall... or it really is a scarlet mon

[cobalt thicket]

ill try to take a look for the other one but it may be exclusive

[cobalt thicket]

||claunchers dex entry for habitat says unknown so its a violet exclusive||

[lament glen]

Ok, thanks for the research

[cobalt thicket]

got u

[cobalt thicket]

im close to post game so i should be able to do more searching for anything soon

[magic ivy]

Is it out already?

[cobalt thicket]

no

[magic ivy]

How tf then im confused

[cobalt thicket]

||people get early copies, then if even one of those ppl make a copy of the data in them and send that data out to others it spreads around||

||i happened to know someone who was able to help me install it to my pc so ive been trying it out early||

it happens with most pokemon games nowadays

[lament glen]

switch games*

[cobalt thicket]

yeah

true

i still plan on buying violet but i wanted to see if the games were any good first

and i approve

[white jungle]

||Maushold's "Tidy Up" should add an extra attack boost for each layer of hazards it cleans up||

||Also if they didn't want to give Slither Wing any stat boosting moves, they should have completely dumped it's SP.attack and added it to its bulk||

[white jungle]

???
||Wait is that saying compatible Pokémon can learn picnic moves from one another?||

||Because if so that's fucking sick. With nature swapping and IV boosting being a thing, that basically means any Pokémon can be made its best self without having to breed new ones||

[icy forge]

Yes. Thats Wonderfull

[white jungle]

||The only exception now would be event exclusive moves. Like you'll never have a best possible Pikachu unless you got that event one with extreme speed||

[icy forge]

||Even If I not play competitive is a dream have your best Pokémon possible||

True.

[white jungle]

||Exactly! This is what I've been saying for ages now. It's easy to dismiss it as unnecessary in casual play, but realistically it's just nice to be able to make your beloved partner Pokémon as good as they can be.||

||Not sure how easy it'll be this gen granted because idk how easy IV boosting and stuff has been made for SV but at least it's possible to upgrade everything||

[icy forge]

Is very animesque but in a good way

||By example having my Fuecoco playing with a Slowbro and Learn Slack Off||

[white jungle]

||I might finally use Tyranitar now that I can get dragon dance easy.||

||Have a B-Team based around sandstorm maybe||

[brave palm]

those who have the game early and willing to share ||is this pokemon story relevant it seems it might be||

[icy forge]

||He is one of the new quartet legendary||

[gaunt frigate]

||huh I'm gonna go check||

[gaunt frigate]

||I beat the game's main story and this guy and the rest of the legendary quartet never come up. I will go check history lessons in the academy and see if they're lore relevant though.||

[orchid harness]

I checked but they didn't mark anything. Just told me about it.

[gaunt frigate]

||She just told me about them, but apparently she'll tell me some more if she can find out anything new, plus she said she could use my help. I think we're onto something.||

I'm gonna keep taking lessons

[orchid harness]

Okay

[lament glen]

Since you finished the game, I wanna ask you something that I've heard conflicted stuff about

Do you know which version the Skrelp line is exclusive to? Or can you check in your dex? Would be very epic

[gaunt frigate]

He's definitely Scarlet without a doubt

I've seen multiple of them

[lament glen]

kk, thanks

Guess I'll have to get Scarlet even though I prefer everything else about violet

[gaunt frigate]

you can just join someone's game and catch it!

[orchid harness]

||can confirm she marks them on your map!||

[gaunt frigate]

||did she also mark the keys?||

[orchid harness]

sadly no

[gaunt frigate]

okay i've got two of them+

How do I mark a pic as spoiler?

So that I can send you the location of these two

[orchid harness]

uh i dont know ..

i know theres one here

btw i think you can only mark as spoiler on pc

[lament glen]

idk if I wanna give nintendo 20 bucks again anytime soon

[gaunt frigate]

that would be the third one

[gaunt frigate]

if you have someone nearby, local play works!

or you can just pay 3$ for one month

||btw someone hit me up if you manage to find the scarlet book in the academy's lobby||

[orchid harness]

||evidently there is 8 beat seal, theres 4 seals||

[gaunt frigate]

Should I be looking where the flag is or where you're pointing? I can't seem to find it on the flag

lmao found it

[orchid harness]

the flag

||i think im just gonna wait for the guide for those. i think ima just do the gyms again||

[gaunt frigate]

||Thera are 32 swords. We're gonna need a team here anyway xD||

[white jungle]

Might wanna spoiler mark these

Unless the entire map was officially revealed idr

[gaunt frigate]

I don't know how to that's the thing

[white jungle]

When you have it like this, tap on the image and it brings up the option

[gaunt frigate]

Great!

[cobalt thicket]

||This image here is mostly correct about exclusives, the only incorrect part is the bronzer line and sinistea line are not exclusives at all||

[timid wren]

So everybody Seen centroleak ?

[alpine acorn]

I don’t want to know any large spoilers, but I do have some questions about some things I’ve heard about.
||1. Is breeding only available during picnics, with daycares no longer being a thing?||
||2. With Paradox Pokémon, can you only catch one like legendaries, a certain amount like Ultra Beasts in SM, or as many as you want?||

[astral meadow]

I’ve heard that when you play multiplayer it only spawn Pokémon from hosts version of the game. Is that true?

[cobalt thicket]

||1. no more day cares, only picnics 2. to my experience with paradox mons (which is fairly limited) they have an area they can spawn in and there is no limit to them||

||i havent seen very many of them yet ||

[atomic flare]

That paradox bug looks very nice

[alpine acorn]

||Okay, thanks! I was wondering about the Paradox mons because I heard they have similar mechanics to Ultra Beasts but didn’t know if they were similar as in the way you encounter them or not||

[cobalt thicket]

||i think the similarities lie in when they are encountered in progression, other than that im not sure since i have limited experience||

[smoky bison]

I'm getting Violet, we can trade

[lament glen]

Nah, I'm getting Violet now too

Didnt realize that just joining a scarlet dude makes it possible to encounter mons from the other games. And I strongly prefer the purple theme and the design of the violet dude

We can still trade tho 😳

[cobalt thicket]

I like the legend for violet and robots

That’s gonna be my choice too

[lament glen]

Just gonna throw this in here now, feel free to add me

[odd cave]

I havent seen anyone with that much time on switch youtube

[lament glen]

Most of it is from a while in ~2017-2018 when our wifi at home was super broken and always disconnected. But it worked fine on switch so that's what I used almost exclusively

Also an hour in Germany actually only takes around 30 minutes because of time zones

[odd cave]

Bruh

[smoky bison]

What if we kissed traded? Haha, jk
unless... 😳

[lament glen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlMEeO7UzEw

[white jungle]

What we have learned is that, despite what the Liberal Government may tell you, we are living in a material world

Now, hypothetically, by extension

That would make us material girls

[viscid adder]

||A WHOLE ARMY OF NONBINARY WARRIORS||

[hazy scarab]

Wait is the game out

[wind depot]

Some people got it early

So not officially out

[urban owl]

Not out until Friday

And technically late Thursday for the Aussies

[odd cave]

The only good normal/flying is staraptor

Change my mind

[lament glen]

Tailow is epic too

[icy forge]

I must say I like a lot Unfezant

Male Unfezant

[urban owl]

Staraptor is good, Swellow can be good too

But Unfezant and Pidgeot is silly and overused respectivly in my opinion

[fleet pelican]

||So, anyone figure out how to evolve Gimmighoul? o.O ||

opsy. forgot mah bars

[odd cave]

||999 coins||

[fleet pelican]

ah okay.

[viscid adder]

||a solo boy is worth one coin while the chest is worth 10.||

||So... yeah. prepare to do some math.||

[fleet pelican]

||I think the chests and the solos have a range, because I've gotten more than 1 from solos and I got like 30 from my gimmi when I caught it||

[viscid adder]

||Oh! Well then just remember that the lowest the solos can for is 1 and the chests is 10.||

||If my hunch is right, solos would go from 1-9 while chests would go from... idk 10-100?||

[fleet pelican]

Could be. It seems like a range atleast

[viscid adder]

||still, ya gotta do some math||

(also you forgot your bars again)

[fleet pelican]

||bout to catch another one. I'll let you know how many coins I get||

||got 50 from this one.||

[urban owl]

|| Wait, gimmighoul evolves from a collection of coins? Thats kinda neat ||

[viscid adder]

||it's like meltan!
unlike meltan, you can do it in your game alone and not in two games!||

[cobalt thicket]

||I’ve seen 60 and 70 from a chest||

[fleet pelican]

Nice.

[fickle birch]

||Toucannon should have been part Steel, or Fire even.|| 😢

[icy forge]

Or at least be a less realistic animal 😅

[viscid adder]

||That's a fair assessment!
I mean, we're dealing with a bird that could double as a weapon and can fire hot bursts from its beak. (Which, believe it or not, is based on a thing thay toucans can do! Not the firing hot bursts thing, but radiating a lot of heat from their bill)||

[forest egret]

||I really do think the cannon should've been worked into the design of the bill||

||Ultimately, the fact it can shoot stuff from its mouth is not a unique thing for a pokemon to do at all lol||

[odd cave]

||why are you marking as spoiler a pokemon from 6 years ago? 💀||

[patent rivet]

That looks stupid though

[forest egret]

I disagree

[urban owl]

I like A

Makes him more cannon-y without over doing it

[forest egret]

Me too, A works

B isn't so good

[viscid adder]

If you have anyone to blame, blame blazquaza

It's probably about stuff involving SV

[patent rivet]

It’s not, it’s just Toucannon fanmade redesign

[forest egret]

It's because the initial meme had a new mon in it, but yes now it's just Toucannon and I've gotten into the habit of spoilering text that doesn't really need it

[viscid adder]

Fair fair lol

[hidden herald]

since were in the topic of toucannon...

did yall know that shiny toucannon has the bi flag as its beak?

totally not intentional

but its still cute

look

[brave palm]

||this might be a stretch but i view dunsparce as a joke pokemon and its evo's name dudunsparce might be based off the joke drum thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRs0OqV4uSc&ab_channel=Impostor||

||du dun sparce||

||might be a bit of a stretch||

[lament glen]

||"Don"/"Dun" is a sound effect that is very popular in manga and stuff, so I can definetly see that||

[patent rivet]

I just thought of this

[white jungle]

I hope ||that new revive move Pawmot has|| won't get banned in showdown. I know it's op as hell but ||it's literally one of the most potentially interesting moves we've had in ages. Just add a Revival Clause where it can only be used once if you have to.||

[meager oasis]

||I heard that the move only has 1 PP or something?||

Idk if it’s true or not though

||But you could prob use it twice with a leppa berry unless it was hard coded to not work with that||

[white jungle]

||It'd be a first if it was but I'd be alright with it, 1pp moves actually add a lot of potential.||

[forest egret]

||It does indeed work with Leppa Berries||

[white jungle]

||I'm kinda irritated by the lack of e-terrain setters given that that's the future Paramons' whole deal||

||I don't even know if Tapu Koko is back this gen||

[meager oasis]

||So the move does only have 1 PP?||

||Also imagine using leppa berry + recycle for revival blessing||

[forest egret]

||It does have 1 PP. Something to keep in mind about Pawmot is it has abysmal bulk||

[meager oasis]

Oh

[forest egret]

||70 hp and 70 in both its defences||

||But it has high speed, so the chance it gets atleast 1 blessing off is pretty high||

[white jungle]

||A soul for a soul||

[forest egret]

||Honestly using Pawmot itself would probably be fine. 105 speed, and 115 atk with Iron Fist, seems like it can do a decent job killing things||

[white jungle]

||Y'know what's ridiculous? It has better defenses than fucking Emboar||

||Health bulk with no good defenses is so overrated especially on a slow Pokémon ||

[wanton idol]

lmao the pawmi line is pretty underwhelming

||pawmi||

||pawmi but it stands up||

||pawmi but it stands up and its bigger||

[forest egret]

||I agree but pikaclones be like that||

[meager oasis]

||pawmi line looks like it came from a fakemon game on roblox||

[forest egret]

Lol, yeah it does

[quiet frost]

I will say that the problem I have about the new pokedex is that I feel they have way too many of the same typeing mon and not enough at the same time

[meager oasis]

fr

||there is three grass/dark types just from this gen wheeze||

[forest egret]

||Ghost/Fire's getting there too||

[quiet frost]

There are mons I want to use but there is too much of the same typing mons I want to use so like

[meager oasis]

||seems like this gen has HEAPS of fighting types||

[quiet frost]

Yes I mean I love them but the problem is I can't put it in my team because it would give out a huge weakness

[tropic carbon]

i dissagree, think of old games grass poison

[forest egret]

Oh old games have it bad yeah

[meager oasis]

||theres 12 fighting types in this gen (including all tauros forms)||

[forest egret]

Also ||I do not get what Khu means here. Seriously what does this actually mean because it doesn't reflect the pokedex that well at all||

[quiet frost]

The thing is this is gen 9 which should be given out a balance of typeings

Atleast in the old games they had a bunch of new pokemon back then

[meager oasis]

||only 4 ice types :(||

||but at least they seem to be strong ice types||

||psuedo legendary, actual legendary, paradox form and well cetitan||

[quiet frost]

Ice types aren't even good

[meager oasis]

i know but these ones look good

[quiet frost]

I want more fire types

[forest egret]

I'm thinking this gen's gonna change your perception of Ice

With Terastal, and ||Snowstorm, and the new ice dudes, it's looking pretty good||

[meager oasis]

||oh yea the snowstorm thing exists too that buffs ice defence||

[quiet frost]

There goes the bug types

[meager oasis]

||so did snowstorm replace hail completely? or are they two seperate weather||

[forest egret]

||I think it replaces it||

[quiet frost]

Anyways we need more fire types, electric, dark, ehhhhh ice too

Maybe fairy

[forest egret]

||7 fire types, not counting prevos, doesn't seem that bad||

[tropic carbon]

better than gen 4

[quiet frost]

I don't count one of them because they're a fighting type

[forest egret]

Well that's too bad

||I'm sure you can live with the funny bull||

[quiet frost]

When I get violet I'll use the big boots guys

That will be my fire

[quiet frost]

They're on my team

[forest egret]

I'm happy we got some new type combos atleast. Poison/Normal, ||Poison/Steel, Grass/Fire||

[quiet frost]

Know what maybe at this point I might as well make a fighting type team when I play violet

BTW this game is hard like

Really hard if you don't know what you're doing

[tropic carbon]

what is that

[forest egret]

||It's the Replacement (maybe) for Hail. It boosts the defence of Ice types, sorta like how Sandstorm does for Rock||

[tropic carbon]

nice

[quiet frost]

Theory: Koraidon and Miraidon are ||Paradox forms|| of Cyclizar

[shell grail]

Didn't we already get the lore leaks

[quiet frost]

No idea

This is just my theory

I dont rlly know the lore but I don’t despise leaks

I didn’t read mb

[fickle birch]

@quiet frost Spoiler tags. You just spoiled me. 😦

||Even if it was obvious, but still.|| 😢

[quiet frost]

Idunno how to do it on mobile

[fickle birch]

Not an excuse.

[quiet frost]

Lemme try

Oh

Thx

[fickle birch]

||Quaxwell, first draft for Smogon.|| 🙂

[compact sequoia]

||really glad quaxly has the best starter evos of scarlet and violet, they did the water type dirty for gen 8 starters.||

ayo who's ready to visualize their quaxly talking like Donald duck when the game is released?

[lament glen]

||The floating drone water thingos in its final evo are indeed pretty cool. All in all I still prefer lé magician cat, but in the end I'll use none of them so I don't really care ||

[vestal aurora]

||The best one is fire croc||

[lament glen]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-perfectlybalanced-gif-18301221

[vestal aurora]

Lmao

[compact sequoia]

||imma be honest, before quaquaval I was kind of an idiot when it came to opinions on humanoid mons for the starters. after seeing the design in action though, it's clear that the designs can be super well put-together if handled correctly.||

[shell grail]

||human designs are fine but the fans ruin them a bit||

[compact sequoia]

||true, but from a person who's eyes are usually singed whenever they try to find art featuring their favorite characters, I can look past people being weird on the internet. my issue is the actual execution of the design itself.||

[shell grail]

||they definitely are doing it on purpose a bit||

||for example lopunny does not need that idle pose||

[compact sequoia]

||That was my initial reaction to seeing meowscarada||

[shell grail]

||i don't think ive seen any fanart of meowscarada that isn't porn lol||

[compact sequoia]

||I find it really hilarious when they make a starter look feminine, because the actual gender ratios for starters usually make them male. visualizing meowscarada with the voice of Bonita soleil from psychonauts makes the design something I can actually unironically enjoy.||

[shell grail]

||yeah||

[compact sequoia]

||is it possible to shiny hunt the starters in late or post game? if so, i'm getting all 3 to lend to my inevitable pokemon scarlet game.||

[shell grail]

|| ive seen someone with a shiny fuecoco but i think it was from egg hatching||

[fickle birch]

||I've heard that they're locked at the start of the game, but yeah, eggs are always possible.|| 🙂

||I hate how trigger happy they are with Shiny locking now.|| 😦

[compact sequoia]

||I know, right? half expecting both the legendary quartet and paradox mons to be locked, too. koraidon and Miraidon definitely would be.||

[fickle birch]

||Yeah they are, sadly. Paradox forms though might be fine in raids, I don't know.|| 😮

[compact sequoia]

||I don't get shiny locking, tbh. why does getting a shiny version of a box legendary without a code always just have to be "Wait until the next gen"?||

||what is the point to it?!||

||what great shinies, CANT F(honk)IN' CATCH EM, THOUGH-||

[shell grail]

the legendary shines are pretty good tho

[compact sequoia]

||that's the worst part, the shiny legends for scarlet and violet I've seen look great. and they're going to be locked to codes until the next game.||

[icy forge]

I think I have all my possible Paldea Team

[shell grail]

||im having tinkaton on my team just because how OP its gonna be||

[compact sequoia]

||I'm gonna figure out my team as I go, tbh.||

[icy forge]

I also think in ||Tinkaton|| and Cetitan

[vestal aurora]

||Dondozo without the other dude is kinda pointless i think||

[shell grail]

yea

[icy forge]

Maybe also use Pokémon like Goodra or Sawsbuck that I never have the chance to use before

[icy forge]

||The other dude without Dodonzo is bad too||

[shell grail]

||how often are you gonna be in a double battle with dondozo and the thing that controls it||

[icy forge]

||But Dodonzo have good stats and Abilities that can justify use alone ||

[wanton idol]

sprigatito is my fav line for this gen too

[lament glen]

I'll use a team of twelve to counter the fact that modern pokemon games arent built around a working exp system anymore

[compact sequoia]

||just noticed it but holy crap this pokemon game has so many frickin BIRDS||

[shell grail]

||and a lot of dogs||

[compact sequoia]

||true.||

||I'm honestly fine with most of them I've seen, except for the flamingo.||

[shell grail]

||i don't like the lack of difference between the bulls really either||

[compact sequoia]

can't believe I'll actually be playing this 3 days from now holy sh-

[shell grail]

yeah

[compact sequoia]

||thank God I can shiny hunt paradox hariyama||

[lament glen]

I had that level of insane hype when X and Y were about to come out... not the greatest games to be hyped for 😂

[compact sequoia]

||but will there be enough room for CHEESE||

[icy forge]

||Exist more difference between the Tauros that bewteen convergent evolution imo ||

[shell grail]

||all shiny violet paradoxes just turn silver btw||

[shell grail]

yeah

[compact sequoia]

||anyone who gets a shiny with a cheese sandwich has to name it Wallace, or gromit if it's one of the dog pokemon specifically||

[shell grail]

yeah thatd be funny

[cobalt thicket]

||There is also a sandwich that increases shiny odds for specific types but I heard those ingredients are locked behind max difficulty tera dens||

[compact sequoia]

||well, so long as you can get a party of actual humans that shouldn't be too much of an issue||

||My best guess is the ai players bring horrible pokemon like in sword and shield||

[hidden herald]

||off-topic but which starters are yall picking? im picking quaxly because i love his final evo design||

[compact sequoia]

||same here, same reason||

[hidden herald]

||the fact that sprigatito and quaxlys lines look awesome but skeledirge looks like a piece of melting plastic that goes to rehab is funny||

[compact sequoia]

||Skeledirge's design literally gives life to the term klunky||

[cobalt thicket]

||I like the tiny fire bird on top of his head||

[compact sequoia]

||It still baffles me that they decided to go literally nowhere with the flame hair thing for the final evo||

||wait, fire bird?||

[cobalt thicket]

||If kinda baffles me that they made skeledirge flat on the ground ||

[shell grail]

||im glad we got at least 1 quadrupedal starter||

[cobalt thicket]

||I don’t have a picture but there is a very tiny flame on his forehead that bounces a lil and it’s shaped like a tiny bird||

[compact sequoia]

||Too bad "hunched over like godzilla" is feraligatr's thing||

[hidden herald]

||i think the final evo could be a dinosaur with the crocalor hat and maybe some instrument (like those maraca thingies)||

[white jungle]

||It should be a special form of Fletchling exclusive to the Skeledirge line||

||Like Slowbro with Shellder||

[cobalt thicket]

||That’s true I just wasn’t expecting fuecoco to be the one||

[fickle birch]

I'm doing this too. 😂

[compact sequoia]

||I just wanted a spinosaurus, tbh.||

[white jungle]

||I'm glad Skeledirge finally puts down the zodiac shit, I'm so tired of those fans.||

[hidden herald]

||same||

[cobalt thicket]

||Ah actually now that I’m looking the bird sits on his nose not his forehead||

[hidden herald]

||ikr people were theorizing it was a horse||

[white jungle]

||"Looking forward to having a cool crocodile."
"WELL ACTSHUALLY ITSTH GOING TO BE A BULL OR A SNAKE🤓🤓🤓"||

[compact sequoia]

||it might just be me but I feel like making what could have been a cool skull pattern be a cartoon thermometer stuck to it's head was not the play.||

[inner kernel]

||my favorite are the people reaching to make it fit the zodiac anyways lol||

[shell grail]

||if it was a bull i wouldn't buy the game||

[white jungle]

||See I would have been okay with a horse-crocodile fusion based on those ancient crocs that could gallop like horses but the people who made the zodiac the subject of every fire discussion pissed me off||

[inner kernel]

||like "male crocodile are called bulls so it fits still :)" lol||

[white jungle]

||Especially when Fennekin is a FOX and Cyndaquil is a fucking porcupine to badger line||

[hidden herald]

||wait i just noticed that crocalors hat is actually a bird nest with an egg||

[shell grail]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[compact sequoia]

||That's actually clever||

[hidden herald]

||that would explain the bird||

[cobalt thicket]

||I chose quaxly for my emulated playthrough of scarlet and I am choosing quaxly when I buy violet. Quaxly gang||

[compact sequoia]

||praise be to quaquaval and being what inteleon could have been in terms of design||

[cobalt thicket]

FACTS inteleon is very underwhelming imo

[shell grail]

inteleon was a terrible design and nobody can change my mind

[compact sequoia]

you can't change a correct mind without gaslighting

[hidden herald]

||i think quaquaval will have good amount of type coverage||

[cobalt thicket]

||It doesn’t even compare to quaquaval||

[shell grail]

depressed lizard cries then gets a gun?

[compact sequoia]

chameleons are the DOPEST lizards and they went for the ultimate nothingburger

[cobalt thicket]

||You learn wing attack before you evolve quaxly if I’m not mistaken and the final evo is fighting so the coverage is decent. Also if you get the HA it’s moxie||

[hidden herald]

DUDE INTELEON HAD A FUCKING SNIPER AND WAS USELESS FOR ME

🥹

[compact sequoia]

give it frills! give it spikes! give it horns! do something other than paint it's body!

[cobalt thicket]

The gmax form was at least a clever ig but the rest was meh for me

[hidden herald]

rillaboom was best monke

[cobalt thicket]

Yes

[compact sequoia]

rillaboom actually looked like a starter

[shell grail]

it was based off a sniper tower which makes no sense to be in pokemon

rillaboom was best

i didn't use him tho he stayed in the box

[hidden herald]

||also, what was the name of dolliv's evo?||

[compact sequoia]

I used sobble because I was spoiler free... safe to say that's why i spoil all starters for myself now

[shell grail]

||azalea||or something

[cobalt thicket]

Lol

[compact sequoia]

every time it evolved my reaction was "ew"

[hidden herald]

i think ||brambleghast|| will be useless

[compact sequoia]

they leaned way too heavily into the humanoid aspect of inteleon, to the point where you're not raising a pokemon, you're trying to get a troubled teen's life together before he gets to become frickin' James bond

[shell grail]

||brambleghast has an ok ability that makes it immune to flying moves if i remember correctly and i just like the design||

[shell grail]

also why a GUN

[cobalt thicket]

||Adding normal types onto Pokémon that resist fighting is such a good idea I never used azalea yet and I’m not sure that I will because I much prefer the fire/grass mon but it would be a nice combo if Azalea could learn shadow ball, and you could find a ghost Tera type smoliv as far as coverage goes||

[shell grail]

thats the least pokemon thing in a pokemon game in ive ever seen

[hidden herald]

sobble evolution line went from shy to emo AND THEN PEW PEW

[compact sequoia]

uhhh... is nobody gonna tell him about beta remoraid?

LITERALLY just a gun that evolves into an octo-tank

[shell grail]

they fixed it for a reason

[icy forge]

|| https://mobile.twitter.com/makio_jroses/status/1592543557868736520||

true

I feel like a good substitute for gun would be like... a water lasso/grappling hook... y'know, because spy movie

or just... any sort of gadget, really.

It starts with an A

[clear crest]

man.. I'm really sad. When PL:A came out, I really wanted to go into a pokemon game blind, after seeing all the leaks. but now look at me.. I've essentially seen the entire pokedex.. Younger me must be ashamed that I couldn't even live up to that promise. for me, I really do think it's just like, I want to think younger me would be proud of me, for at least trying to avoid leaks, but.. he'd probably just call me a giant idiot without a semblance of self control..

[limpid depot]

That was less than an year ago you haven't changed that much

yea, true..

[quiet frost]

||guys I like how there isnt actually a villian in scarlet violet/ it's very bold of them to do||

||normally there would be a villian that goes "oh im going to rule the world! or im going to destroy the world||

[viscid adder]

||Honestly I am shocked that we had to fight the professor||

||Like, I knew that the professor had a connection with the legendary, but I wasn't expecting this.||

[quiet frost]

||also first time rival that is actually more talented than us but is going easy on us because she i guess my theory is she has a crush on us considering they're just so in your face. which can be a turn off for people but for me I really like unlike whiny hop who cries over losing||

[quiet frost]

||technically we didnt and did fight the professor||

[viscid adder]

||yeah it's weird||

[viscid adder]

||oh snap
That kind of makes her the first LGBT representive character in Pokémon games.||
||Kind of.||

[quiet frost]

||no i believe the first one was that girl in x and y. the terrible rivals||

[viscid adder]

||Wait Shauna??||

[quiet frost]

||yeah because of a scene where they were on the roof top or something|| i dont remember because x and y's story was so bad

[viscid adder]

||Huh! Who knew.||

||Yeah it's been a while since I've played XY||

[quiet frost]

||I find the new rival to be just so funny. annoying but funny because she's just so self aware and doesnt whine or get upset for losing she's like. "whelp that's an L for me" and would really want to battle again because she loves battleing like any vgc player in pokemon||

||i understand if people dont like her because she doesnt really improve as a character she just a silly girl||

[meager oasis]

oh btw does penny do anything in the story of whatever

[cobalt thicket]

||Yes||

[viscid adder]

||YEP. AND ITS REALLY SPOILER HEAVY||

[meager oasis]

tell

[viscid adder]

...Jaters... if you please.

[cobalt thicket]

||But I think penny and arvens arcs are the important ones in this game, I feel like nemonas arc happens before you come into the picture||

One sec

[viscid adder]

||Nemona prequel when?||

[cobalt thicket]

||Penny is the secret leader of team Star, she, from behind the name Casseopia, guides you to collapsing the star bases basically so the students in team star can go back to living their normal school lives while taking all the blame herself since the team star members are bound to an oath to hold their forts until they are defeated so they don’t leave||

[cobalt thicket]

Facts

Ok I gtg

[meager oasis]

||i knew she would be important||

[viscid adder]

||Woah
An evil team leader asking us to destroy their own team||

[quiet frost]

||yeah pretty much nemona already had a story (we need a prequel series)s so there isn't anything to really build upon which is fine. I really in my headcannon the moment she laid eyes on us she really just had that feeling which blossomed into a crush just for being good at battleing because I think many people arent as ethusiastic as nemona when it comes to battleing almost except us because we just improve so much the more badges we get and all that||

||she is so obsessive over battleing but also for us because she just really wanted a person who can actually compete against her level. also look at her animations. she just looks so in love when we beat her||

[quiet frost]

||she's not evil||

[meager oasis]

||well its not really an evil team anymore its just... a group?||

||RIP pokemon evil teams||

[viscid adder]

||I know, but I'm talking about it as a breaking of tropes||

[quiet frost]

||well technically the antagonist is the professor but also not the professor. the original professor was the antagonist but the robot version isn't but due to being built by the professor she didnt have control over her body. however the real professor is dead so we dont know if she was actuallly evil or super obsessive over having primal pokemon into the present||

[viscid adder]

||Or, if it's violet, guy wants robots||

[meager oasis]

||so professor sarda and tuno are dead and we just see their robots?||

||and never the actual person||

[quiet frost]

||yes. we never actually see them alive because they died many years ago||

[meager oasis]

wow

thats pretty interesting

[quiet frost]

||it's just SO good. and the problem was because it was unnatural for primal or future pokemon to be living in the present because of eco balance and all that. so we had to stop the time machine because if we dont it might end up south when all these powerful pokemon come into a present timeline||

||the game is so good. honestly. pokemon Legends i heard is an amazing game but isnt for everyone||

[supple fern]

||Out of the all the brand new shiny Pokémon, which ones are the best and which ones are the worst?||

||From what I heard, Gimmighoul’s shiny is ironically worthless||

[quiet frost]

||lechonk is a pink pig and pork is delicious so||

||the evo male is white and it looks good||

[flint sequoia]

||Shiny Iron Thorns is one of my new favourite shinies||

[forest egret]

||The shiny robots are awesome in general||

[meager oasis]

I haven’t paid much attention to any of the shinies

Except ||past misdreavus it’s green shiny so it’s amazing||

[inland sparrow]

||maybe it was just me but i really shipped tierno and trevor, like i was at the third gym and the two times i saw one without the other were like just a couple buildings apart. may have just been them being best friends but i like shipping people so whatever||

[viscid adder]

||The two armored ghosts.||
||Expectations were high for those two.||

[supple fern]

||Instead we get this||

||From what I heard but not seen||

[viscid adder]

||That image is a huge understatement, dude.||

||Both evos switch eye colors. And that's it.||

[meager oasis]

https://youtu.be/U8ckA3abaXs

||Flareon lost superpower lol||

||"Never."||

||Red armor boy gets blue eyes, actually.||

||but the left one is spot on||

[supple fern]

||Down to the flare pupils?||

[viscid adder]

||yep.||

||The shiny is really that bad.||

[meager oasis]

||Rayquaza getting u-turn now||

||Groudon getting will-o-wisp||

||I'm so glad they nerfed that overpowered bastard flareon and are giving the little guys like Rayquaza a chance||

[supple fern]

||TheAuraGuardian when he reaches those shinies: https://youtu.be/cdEQmpVIE4A ||

[meager oasis]

||They also nerfed charizard to death||

||Lost Defog roost and scorching sands||

[alpine sandal]

[meager oasis]

||But quagsire gets stealth rocks spikes and toxic spikes now||

[supple fern]

||Man did he let himself go after losing to a rat in the finals||

[meager oasis]

||All the eeveelutions get calm mind now||

||Also aromatherapy and power up punch got deleted ||

[odd cave]

Just

Why

[viscid adder]

||honestly I consider it payback after beating up an OP protagonist greninja||

[viscid adder]

||Rage Punch is the new power up punch||
||It's also the move that Primape needs to use to die and evolve.||

[cobalt thicket]

||I’ve heard about the evo but don’t actually know how it works how does the mechanic actually work with the evo?||

[viscid adder]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jijq-1fSH0g||

[cobalt thicket]

||Oh I didn’t realize it was that simple I heard about death and stuff so I figured it was something really unique||

[viscid adder]

||the reason I said death because of the pokedex entries of primape:||

[cobalt thicket]

Lol

[hazy scarab]

man every time i check this cat there is 100 new messages

[viscid adder]

Hey, this place gets pretty intense once someone mentions the meta

or some newb waddles in here asking questions

[hazy scarab]

lol

[viscid adder]

||H A
noticed that detail since the moment it first came on my doorstep||

[white jungle]

||it ain't dead in that case, Annihilapes face isn't peaceful||

[dim terrace]

||CALM MIND FLAREON SETS LFG||

[meager oasis]

||it also lost superpower though; but it and every other eeveelution gets trailblaze which is basically grass type flame charge||

||so ig thats a decent tradeoff||

[quiet frost]

||I heard someone complain that they didnt like all the talking in scarlet violet but like. honestly that is why I liked sun and moon. they flushed out the characters with the talking and makes me bond with them and so I see gen 9 as no differant. I mean isnt that what rpgs are?||

[meager oasis]

||ig its annoying if you replay the game a lot and stuff but yea i agree with you||

[quiet frost]

||but that's like any rpg that doesnt have voice acting. ||

[meager oasis]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quiet frost]

||maybe it's just because im like a sucker when it comes to slice of life school stuff||

[white jungle]

||Honestly the revival move makes endeavour quick attack sets kinda busted||

[vestal aurora]

||wonder how people will use that move in nuzlockes||

[clear crest]

rest in piss

[vestal aurora]

lmao yeah

saw that yesterday

[lament glen]

||From what I saw, this game will have a skip cutscene option. Which honestly already mads it the most replayable pokemon game of the 3d era||

Sad that sun and moon will never have one, they would be some of the best pokemon games if they did imo

[shell grail]

wait why did centro leaks get taken down?

[vestal aurora]

leaks i guess

[shell grail]

ok

[urban owl]

||Just watching all the buffs in the new games for legends and other mons. This competitive season is gonna be interesting for sure||

[white jungle]

||See ironically, I'm pissed off about the increase in constant switching we'll see this gen, but not about Palafin||

||Because in my eyes, Palafin is okay because you're switching to set up||

||As opposed to what we've been having, and what we'll see an increase of, which is just battles with constant switching, barely any non-hazard setup and getting worn down slowly||

[viscid adder]

Ninja Brian claims another victim...

NPC's go hard this game

Do we know how they were made because all the ones I've seen appear unique?

Is it like BOTW where they had a system for generating them or do they just have a wide variety that I haven't seen any repeats of yet?

[shell grail]

yep

[somber girder]

Hey, has there been any word about if some of the mechanics from legends will be in the game? Like being able to throw a ball before you enter battle, or gathering items for crafting?

[shell grail]

||there is a crafting thing which is for tms and the get the items from killing things||

[cobalt thicket]

||there is still sneaking and throwing your pokemon out for a suprise start to a battle, but no overworld ball catching like in PLA||

[somber girder]

Well, that was the more impactful part at least lol

[quiet frost]

For anyone who is British

Cex are already selling the game early due to a loophole in the regulations

Unfortunately I couldn't get it because I already have a pre-order out for dispatch

[graceful ruin]

||move learning feature makes a return, which is nice||

[somber girder]

The part where you can just swap out their move set whenever you want?

[shell grail]

no

[somber girder]

What new feature from legends then? The swapping was the only difference i remember

[graceful ruin]

no, the memory bit for learned moves. For example: if you teach a mon a move it doesnt learn by levelup normally, you can grab it from the relearner

which I personally think is nice

cause when I taught mons TR moves in SwSh and then got rid of one on accident, I couldnt re-learn it using the move relearner

so I had to farm for that TR again

which sucked

[somber girder]

Oh, so like TMs tutors, and maybe moves from lower evolves? Thats nice at least

[graceful ruin]

yep

makes my life less like hell

[clear crest]

oh shid

[exotic spade]

||hadn't he been removed?||

[odd cave]

||i think its data is still in the game||

[shell grail]

only 2 days

[viscid adder]

2 more days until the floodgates open

[shell grail]

yeah

[fickle birch]

They are!? What's the loophole? 😮

[quiet frost]

Because they classify as a "second hand store" they don't have to wait until release day, despite getting the games from Nintendo

Or something like that

[fickle birch]

Oh that's weird, if I hadn't already pre-ordered from GAME then I'd be going there for sure. 😄

okay so

[quiet frost]

||so what is it just gay couples?||

[clear crest]

since eggs come out of nowhere

and since every pokemon is magical

and the eggs are more like cradles

my headcanon is that the pokemon legit just

use their energy to craft an egg

[viscid adder]

||though I'm probably gonna guess that the couple are gonna just do the thing and move the kids in a different space||

[quiet frost]

then why cant tehy make their own eggs by themselves?

[viscid adder]

IT HAS TO BE WITH THE POWER OF LOVE, DUDE

[clear crest]

tbh I prefer this headcanon more than the ||"skeledirge tops a tiny rat"|| thing

[quiet frost]

also how can a skitty and a whalelord make eggs together?

but why are they in groups

But they wiegh enough to where they are less dense than air, meaning they float

like why do some pokemon cant breed with others

[viscid adder]

i instinctly spoilered wailord

whoops

[urban owl]

Because they dont mesh well

[viscid adder]

well anyway

[quiet frost]

why?

[urban owl]

The mons just do a vibe check, and if they fail, it means no eggy

[quiet frost]

doesnt serviper and zangoos breed?

[viscid adder]

ahem...
ditto

[clear crest]

so my theory is that it's gotta be a sort of kinship in vibes

[viscid adder]

wait they can do that?

[urban owl]

Ditto is master of disguise

[quiet frost]

i dont know

[clear crest]

and that like, if you fit the sort of "family" thing, which is the egg groups, boom, eggie.

[urban owl]

And they do be simple animals

[clear crest]

also, what do y'all think of my tastes?

[quiet frost]

||explain moushold||

[urban owl]

Isnt Zangoose in field too?

[viscid adder]

everything makes sense ||until the family comes in||

[viscid adder]

Y E P

[urban owl]

Ah, casual romeo/juliet story

[viscid adder]

WE GOT SOME ENEMIES TO LOVERS BULLCRUD

[urban owl]

Just zangoose and seviper

[quiet frost]

||but they have specific genders for the couples||

[clear crest]

||maushold is like a little sylvanian family™️, and anyone that fits the "small animal" vibes, is instant family. like inviting a friend over for some tea and crumpets.||

[viscid adder]

||and they are all one gender||

[clear crest]

||yes, this also means that skeledirge is "small animal" vibes.||

[clear crest]

||?||

[quiet frost]

||i meant maushold itself. also do they do poly relationships?||

[clear crest]

||maushold is more adoptive family than blood family.||

||the little fuckers appeared one day. and they just.. exist.||

[quiet frost]

||but where did the kids come from?||

[fickle birch]

Where is the SV tier list with the names below it? 😄

[clear crest]

EXACTLY

[fickle birch]

Thanks! 🙂

[clear crest]

||oh shit, I think we have the answer, the real answer.||

||BOMBIRDIER JUST DROPS EM||

[fickle birch]

Wait, the link didn't work. 😢

[quiet frost]

||but each is the same gender so like that means that every moushold is gay to each other and then there's moushold x moushold||

[clear crest]

||nah. the bigger one of the main 2 maushold is the main gender.||

[viscid adder]

||bombadier dropping eggs left and right||

[quiet frost]

||what do the smaller ones do? do they help in the breeding process? do they grow up? they're part of an evolution so they cant separate||

[clear crest]

||the smaller ones might be an exeggutor situation, they grow up and leave, and then two more baby tandemaus appear.||

[quiet frost]

||but the thing is there isnt an evolution where they do that||

[clear crest]

||and?||

[quiet frost]

||so we dont know what happenes||

[clear crest]

IDK how to say this politely

[quiet frost]

||though better question is why do they keep making kids and why cant we stop them from doing so?||

[clear crest]

but you take so much shit so seriously that I think you're neurodivergent

just like little old dohnut

[quiet frost]

im not serious

[viscid adder]

man... the moment you add more than one creature into a pokemon and talk about how they have to breed with another pokemon is when things get real weird

[clear crest]

or we could just

not

and just

appreciate the boys

[quiet frost]

technically you started the conversation xd

[clear crest]

BECAUSE I WAS TERRIFIED

AND RIGHTFULLY SO

[quiet frost]

||so is it illegal to have a crush on moushold?||

||is it pedophillia?||

[viscid adder]

WHAT EVEN IS THIS CONVO

[quiet frost]

go ask the internet

[viscid adder]

||GOD MOUSHOLD... WHY IS YOUR EXISTANCE MAKING THIS WEIRD??||

[quiet frost]

honestly i like it it's hilarious

[viscid adder]

uhhh, you sure about that?

[quiet frost]

||people are horny for pokemon.||

[viscid adder]

oh thank god

we're safe for now

[clear crest]

||I would know.||

[clear crest]

||MAUSHOLD IS A CUTIE POKEMON THAT GOES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA||

||THAT'S ALL IT IS!!||

[viscid adder]

||THEN WE GOTTA KEEP IT THAT WAY||

||WE GOTTA PROTECT THE FAMILY||

[quiet frost]

help my pokemon are breeding and idk who is breeding which

[clear crest]

egg groups

hatch the egg, there's the female.

now find the male with the same egg group

[viscid adder]

🎶 THREE MINUTES OF ECSTACY🎶
🎶SEVERAL NIGHTS A MONTH🎶

[quiet frost]

but what if there's more than one?

[clear crest]

cry

[quiet frost]

why they doing this to me while I make sandwhiches?

im just making sandwhiches

[clear crest]

because they're allowed to be friends out in the ball

[viscid adder]

||pokemon legends: zygarde?||

[clear crest]

||MIGHT BE!||

[quiet frost]

||not my fat butt spending all my money on sandwhich supplies||

[viscid adder]

ok that gif is gross

[cosmic apex]

i’m watching someone stream pokemon violet and he’s in a discord vc, and when he gave the like to the discord for others to join in vc, someone immediately hopped in, repeatedly said the n word, left, and got permabanned

[clear crest]

it really is, but it's amazing.

[viscid adder]

sooo he got ninja brian'd

[white jungle]

Do you think people need Greavard licenses in Paldea

Or like legally have to keep them securely fenced within their home area

So that it doesn't just fucking kill kids

[clear crest]

I think greavard's probably are left in their homes

and their trainers probably have a pokemon that constantly gives out life energy

[viscid adder]

sacrifice mon for the greater good

...
man... you can make a really good drama out of this

one about animal rights, especially if you are sacrificing one to satisfy another

[clear crest]

NAH

nah*

I feel greavard trainers probably own togepi

[quiet frost]

god emulator is soo slow

also pokemaniacs are furries in the pokemon world

[odd cave]

greavards when they see an unattended child:

https://tenor.com/view/voice-little-mermaid-the-little-mermaid-stealing-your-voice-stealing-voice-gif-3727432

[quiet frost]

ok i thought they dont actually die and just pass out

[shell grail]

the pokemon website says it steals their "life force"

[forest egret]

So basically, pass out first and then die if he's still around

[shell grail]

yeah

official from pokemon

last word in second line says bit

[quiet frost]

I thought life Force as in energy

[forest egret]

That would eventually kill you no matter what way you interpret it

[viscid adder]

he's not bad,
he's just made that way!

[shell grail]

he has no bad intentions

[viscid adder]

||yes, even the evolved form.||

[forest egret]

He's a friend

[shell grail]

yes

[viscid adder]

wanna live?
get a happy egg

[forest egret]

||I'm glad we have a fully skeletal pokemon now. I don't think we've had one before have we? Duskull was more of a wispy ghost dude with a skull face||

[viscid adder]

||the closest to skeletal was probably eternatus, but that's a big ol' stretch.
so yeah. first skele-mon.
...badum-tsh||

[forest egret]

[hazy scarab]

oh lord what happened

[viscid adder]

that's how it started

[hazy scarab]

oh no

wait are they playing an emulator?

[viscid adder]

prbly

also, that situation in a shellnut:

and then we had a very long discussion of pokemon breeding, ||most specifically with moushold and the logistics of how the hell that even works||

[forest egret]

Breeding in pokemon might just be weird magics

That's how I've always imagined atleast

[odd cave]

That explains the skitties and wailords

[sonic hamlet]

||guys my friends older brother got scarlet early||

dunno how

but he works at GameStop

[forest egret]

There's a few people getting it early yeah

[viscid adder]

OH GOD THE FLOODGATES ARE GONNA OPEN EARLY

this channel's life span just got cut a little bit

[last jewel]

I’m pretty sure all the new Pokémon have been leaked so

Floodgates were already opened

[compact sequoia]

||A friend of mine saw cheese sandwich in the crafting list during a picnic, I know what I must do when the game releases.||

[meager oasis]

im gonna enjoy the chaos of showdown when it gets all the gen 9 stuff added

[viscid adder]

oh yeah it's fun
...also

[odd cave]

I never knew that hammer was THAT big

[forest egret]

||I thought Tinkerton was small lol, damn||

[patent rivet]

Spoilers

[viscid adder]

||note: the pokemon is 2 feet, four inches.||

||That would make the hammer around... idk around 4 to 5 feet?||
||I'm just guessing.||

[flat ledge]

||most likely like 4 feet||

[viscid adder]

||that's kid sized||

[flat ledge]

||what about 4 and a half||

[viscid adder]

||tall kid/tween size||

[flat ledge]

Then idk tbh

[patent rivet]

Tween?

What’s that mean?

[patent rivet]

OK, so it means preteen

[frail fox]

got a shiny in my first few hours.

[viscid adder]

||god that looks cool||

||better yet, you're gonna have fun with the shinies||

||OH MY GOD THE SHINY VIVILLON||

||THE BODY COLOR JUST FITS SO WELL WITH THE WINGS||
||JUST... chefs kiss BEAUTIFUL||

[frail fox]

I feel like I'm gonna get way more than one because of how easy it is now, so I'm not particularly attached to this one

||you do have to pay attention and spot them in the wild though, cause there's no indication that they're shiny unless you recognize them as shiny and make sure not to just walk past them||

[viscid adder]

DUDE KEEP IT

CALL IT HENRY OR HENRIETTA OR SOMETHING

||I MEAN IT'S YOUR FIRST SHINY FOR GOD'S SAKE||

[frail fox]

Im gonna keep it and evolve it and then probably never use it

cause I already have another bug in my party and im more interested in seeing the new mons than using old ones

[viscid adder]

||here's the stats.||

[frail fox]

game is really fun though

I've played for almost 6 hours and still haven't ||stepped foot in the school yet||

[viscid adder]

||WOAH
oh you are gonna have fuuuuun||

[graceful ruin]

that thing is SO MUCH LARGER than I expected

[graceful ruin]

how are you playing it early?

[meager oasis]

using ROMs and emulators and stuff

[frail fox]

got it early from gamestop

[primal venture]

lucky

[wanton idol]

im gonna enjoy seeing my sprites on smogon

actually they just added the hisui sprites lol

[meager oasis]

true thatll be nice

you put a lot of workinto those

[patent rivet]

There's still a day until release

[forest egret]

Lol what is this

[viscid adder]

||the ultimate sandwich!||

[patent rivet]

Terrible

[patent rivet]

Dear god!

[forest egret]

||The animation is twinkle-tackle tier in terms of bad||

[viscid adder]

||THE ULTIMATE SANDWICH!||

[patent rivet]

Hot balls

[viscid adder]

NO IT'S "OH SHIT"

[patent rivet]

I don’t remember the order, I haven’t listened to it in a long time

[viscid adder]

It goes
"Dear God!"
"Oh Shit!"
"Sweet Christ!"
"F--K YEAH!"
"Oh Tits!"
"Hot Balls!"

trust me. I've listened to it an ass-ton of times.

....hm...

I wonder how many toppings can you possibly have in your sandwich in the game....?

[lament glen]

Fast delivery or more naughty way of acquisition?

Oh right you don't have a switch

I forgor 💀

[wanton idol]

its worse lol

wtf is that bite

and they didnt wanna animate it munching so they just had it vibrate off screen

[meager oasis]

im just hoping that its some weird glitch from the emulator

that looks too awful to actually be in the game...

[patent rivet]

Does it

This is Pokémon

[meager oasis]

i know but its... its so BAD

[patent rivet]

They couldn’t even animate spark textures flying from a dog to a socket, they just cut to black

[meager oasis]

oh i thought the trainer was vomiting lol

[patent rivet]

They couldn’t even animate a bigger dog turning around, they had him do his walking animation in place and spin

[frail fox]

I borrowed one from a friend

[frail fox]

got this taken care of. Still not gonna use it though.

also my team

[pastel lark]

[vestal aurora]

[frail fox]
