    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    The anime tends to ignore the post-game stuff for the most part, and by the end of XYZ there likely wasn't enough time left to even do anything with her even if they wanted to. It's very rare for any post-game locations or story to ever be acknowledged in the anime as a whole. Places like...

    Little things you like about Pokémon

    I like how Cynthia and Diantha's teams contrast each other in a few ways. Both of them use fairly varied teams with no real specialty but I find the contrast cool nonetheless. - They both lead with a single stage Pokemon, but Cynthia leads with Spiritomb, a slow and bulky Ghost-type, while...

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    Yeah while FRLG was the least different and most faithful of the first three remakes, all three of FRLG, HGSS, and ORAS are very much different experiences from their original games with a lot of changes. HGSS isn't quite as different as ORAS, but it still is much more different from GSC than...

    I actually liked this because it not only made sense with Calyrex being a Psychic-type and all, but because before it regained its power it wasn't fully using telepathy but rather it was using and possessing Peony as a device to speak to us with. It was really funny seeing the fun and energetic...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    I don't think Z-A will be late 2025 but I do think it will be later than January, perhaps somewhere around Summer 2025. Like May or June 2025, which is actually a pretty good time to release a game because it's around the end of the school year just before the big summer break. There wasn't...

    Media The Dragon Ball Thread

    Toriyama's works, most of all Dragon Ball Z, have been a huge part of my life. To think he's really gone now...we really lost one of the greatest legends. Rest in peace, Toriyama

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    Legends: Arceus had 242 including the mythicals. It included everything introduced in Gen 4 and a lot of other Sinnoh Dex mons, but swapped out a number of mons who were in DPP in exchange for several regional forms/evolutions. This was naturally a bit larger than Platinum's Pokedex size at 210...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    At the same time it had a lot less of them than even DS or 3DS games, and the traditional "routes" in Galar were a lot smaller in scope and had less going on than any given route in the DS or 3DS games which had a pretty decent scope. Galar only had 10 traditional routes outside the three Wild...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    As an avid watcher of the anime, I can say this much: Horizons will definitely be in the same continuity as Ashnime, and I see no reason for them to do otherwise. It would be a complete waste if they just completely threw away all the worldbuilding they had done over 26 years and 1200+ episodes...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    X and Y were where Ride Pokemon were technically introduced, and I imagine we'll have more of a variety of mounts in terms of what they do. One of the new Pokemon from Gen 6 is Gogoat, whose whole thing is literally being a mount, insofar as the modern Lumiose we know in X and Y has a Gogoat...

    SPOILERS! General Pokémon Anime Discussion

    Not really. We saw its Terastal form and it using Tera Starstorm once and that's it so far. The upcoming episodes may show more of it since the next few episodes seem to be a major climax, but nothing was shown about it that we don't already know from the games thus far.

    Little things you like about Pokémon

    Yeah I've gotta say, the Switch era as a whole so far has been such an interesting era for Pokémon because there's been so much change and a clear intention to actually steer this franchise forward and in a new direction. Around Gen 7 I was starting to get bored of Pokémon and the infinite loop...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    Since you brought this up, this raises interesing questions about the mythicals in general. In PLA, we had Manaphy, Darkrai, and Shaymin all catchable in the game, the first one being a side quest, and the other two being save file bonuses for having a save file of BDSP and SwSh respectively on...

    Hilarious NPC Quotes

    Two particularly funny ones from RBY I discovered in my ongoing RB 3DS VC playthrough: One between two people trading in Celadon: "Alright! My buddy's going to trade his KANGASKHAN for my GRAVELER!" "Come on GRAVELER! I love GRAVELER! I collect them! Huh? GRAVELER turned into a different...

    On that note among the legendaries the Tapus are very notably missing from SV among the sub-legendaries. I know it's too early to really have knowledge on it but what if they pull a PLA Forces of Nature and have the Tapus in Kalos this time around, and even go as far as to add a fifth member to...

    It would be possible, of course, to rework the already existing Ash Greninja design into a proper Mega, fully establishing the form into a proper Mega Evolution and making it something that truly exists in the games. And of course finish the group by giving Delphox and Chesnaught their share of...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    Yeah Ash-Gren was basically a pseudo Mega for Ash since they were still operating under the rule that Ash can only use new mons but he needed a "Mega" of his own and the Kalos starters didn't have Megas at the time so it was basically there to be a fake Mega made for him. If the Kalos starters...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    So an idea that just popped into my head...but since this is a Legends game... I wonder if we'll get new regional form-ish pseudo-new starters based on old starters again. Legends: Arceus had Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott become Hisuian Decidueye, Hisuian Typhlosion, and Hisuian Samurott. In...
