    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    See Mystery Dungeon. Apparently there are about 30 of them, and I suspect most people are unaware of the ones that don't have Pikachu on the cover. Hell, I had to look up the franchise on Wikipedia just to see how many were not Pokémon crossovers (the answer is 23 btw).

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    I'd think a Smogon thread won't exactly be a good representation on the fandom's view of the Legends battle system. As much as this is supposed to be the casual section, this is still a forum based on competitive battling, and Legends' battle system is not really something good for competition...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    If the weebocortex of my brain is still functioning correctly, technically it is "zetto ē" which is the Japanese transcription of the letter Z followed by the letter A. If anything, it's saying it should be pronounced "Pokémon Legends Z A."

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I think it also had to do with complaints made with Black and White and how you could only get old mons after beating the main game. People were not happy about it. A lot of people wanted to use old favorites and so didn't take too kindly when they couldn't find them easily. It also doesn't help...

    Great, now make it fun. Again, you are evading my point about every mechanic being below par for every, and I do mean every, single genre it's trying to take part in. I don't care how one particular mechanic is seen in one of its genres. How does it interact with the other mechanics in this...

    Ok, might as well give my thoughts on the game and not just talk on the plagiarism. I have never seen so many people simp over a game that is so aggressively mid. Every element to it is below par in every genre it tries to be in. From crafting, to base building, to catching and fighting with...

    7-star Tera Ice Empoleon raid event (February 2-4/9-11)

    Standard support debuff options do seem to be a bad bet for this. I can imagine it would use Snowscape, so a weather setter would be useful. Probably Sandstorm or Sun would be best as Rain would just make its water moves stronger. Clear Smog would be useful for those team mates, and Life Dew and...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    Ok, where's the Garganacl, because we're gonna need some salt to take with this info. Seriously, until whatever happens happens why should we believe anything he says? It could just be a troll or "troll" as it were. And even then, it will be so difficult to tell what he means, it may as well be...

    Yes, and I do think that limits how well we can compare Dark to it. Ghost on the other hand is perfectly comparable especially it's also checked by Dark types and in fact was the type I was referring to. Also intent really doesn't matter for comparing it. What we want to see is the effects, so...

    Unpopular opinions

    Actually we can. Remember Gen 6 Again? There was another change to the type chart that we haven't brought up. Steel no longer resists Dark and Ghost and they instead are neutral. This is the exact same thing we are talking about theoretically with Psychic. We can see what happened to those types...

    Unpopular opinions

    Actually it was 14 BP. And it only had 85% accuracy... Gen 1 move design can be bizarre at times. Going by Gen 5 alone, it is resisted by Steel which is the same with Dragon making it a point towards coverage, Dark which is only really relevant for Tyranitar as Hydreigon is Dragon type and...

    That is true. There are only so many ways to draw a Cheshire Cat grin after all. I bet no one here could tell the difference. I sure couldn't. So really should we be surprised when these two happen to look a little bit like each other? I mean look, the outline for the teeth are different. You...

    It's finally time. The thing that everyone probably guessed was gonna happen happened. Granted, this doesn't mean a lawsuit will happen. Just that TPC is going to see if it can/should.

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I could have phrased my point better. If you're going on about this because of the blatant plagiarism and artistic integrity as a whole, that is a perfectly good reason to complain about this. This whole thing is honestly pretty scummy and even if it was for the lulz, there is a part of me...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    How dare you have a sane and mature take! We should all be personally invested in this fight that has only tangential relation to most of us. This will destroy our favorite franchise/be a great fight against evil corporations/I just hate Pokemon because of dexit so fuck them. :mad: In all...
