  1. SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread

    Galarian Slowbro and Slowking were not added in the game. It doesn't appear that the original forms were either. Galar Slowpoke is in and Kanto Slowpoke is partially in (lacks icons). That said they could have just repeated the data to be fixed later. It's not like folks are supposed to have...
  2. Social Where is your nick from?

    Back in the day (spring of 2001 or so) I caught a shiny Ursaring in Pokemon Gold. I had a different account name in GameFAQs for a while, but got bored and switched it up. Decided to go with Gold Ursaring. Was a digital hanger outer of the GameFAQs boards and some of the other poke...
  3. OU What the GSC meta was like before Hidden Power was legal on the legendaries?

    Here's a discussion about it from 2013. Without Hidden Power, Zapdos and Raikou have a harder time dealing with their counters.
  4. Dexit discussion thread

    Dexit has the possibility of creating mutliple metas in a generation. If a remake of Gen IV came out and was limited to the Pokemon in that Pokedex, would we really be able to bring stuff over from Sword and Shield? ORAS and USUM always replaced the meta, but in the transition nothing was...
  5. Dexit discussion thread

    What feels incomplete about Dexit is Pokemon Home. How is that going to provide us a place to keep our Pokemon? In what form will they be there? What will I be able to do with my Pokemon in Pokemon Home? What promises of permanence does Home have? The transfer from Go to LGPE loses a lot of...
  6. SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword & Shield Pre-Release SPOILERS - Check Post 2!

    We haven't seen any indication that there will be more Pokemon in the post-game. We know Mew is in based on the marketing materials. We think we're now waiting for any reveals of Pokemon that are in the Galar Dex, but not obtained in regular gameplay. Historically, this has only been reserved...
  7. SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword & Shield Pre-Release SPOILERS - Check Post 2!

    Definitely an interesting metagame. I guess we need to hold off on Mythicals until the datamine comes along. There is the remote possibility of some legendaries being treated differently. Wasn't there some talk of special challenges for the raid battles? This kind of strikes me as an XYish...
  8. Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October

    I get the need for the franchise to evolve and face the realities that each generation is a burden. In some ways, the best analogy might be to Magic the Gathering. New sets come and take old sets out of circulation, when they do – we get reprints. There isn’t anything fundamentally wrong...
  9. SPOILERS! Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Datamine Info

    Do we know how transferring from Pokemon Go works? Alalazam learns Focus Blast in that game.
  10. Pokemon Bank Update - Gen 1 TMs?

    I imagine it depends on the RNG. Most wild Pokemon can never be Shiny with the RBY RNG (only gift, link trade, and stationary Pokemon). If they did a GSC VC release, things would get a lot more interesting thanks to the breeding mechanics of those games.
  11. Pokemon Sun and Moon Demo Datamine + Full Game Leaks Collection (Read the OP)

    We know there is an additional form to Magearna. It's always possible to add additional Pokemon as DLC with a patch (they haven't done so yet). We may see the release of Floette-E as an event Pokemon and we've got Ash Pikachu. That leaves 4 tangible future distributions (Second Magearna...
  12. Move Sticky Web

    55/35/45 Defenses means the distribution is poor with Smeargle. 75 Speed means it's not guaranteed to go first. There are plenty of ways to take out a Smeargle without it laying down a Sticky Web. Focus Sash means it might require some creativity.
  13. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    Do Mega Evolutions always have the same ability? Will Blaze Blaziken mega-evolve into Speed Boost Mega Blaziken? Do Swarm and Light Metal Scizor mega-evolve into Speed Boost Mega Scizor?
  14. Are gyms holding Pokemon back?

    There is a concept that is explored briefly in Pokemon Origins and Black/White 2 that gym leaders suit themselves to the challengers. I think it would be interesting to open the game up a little more and have the gym leaders toughen up based on how many badges you have. It would be harder to...
  15. Wi-Fi Event Discussion -(NA/EU)Deoxys out now; (JP)Genesect reveal

    Fortunately with Gen V, Shiny doesn't mean fixed natures (like the Crown Beasts). They could still do that, but I'm skeptical. That means that standard Genesects can be Shiny or non-Shiny, but the Extremespeed/Shift Gears ones must be Shiny.
  16. 2013 Winter Friendly

    52 - 7, with 1765 with no ranking. I didn't disconnect on people, but a lot of people disconnected on me. I think they were pissed with the make up of my team (Groudon, Zekrom, Kyurem, Mewtwo, Arceus & Ho-oh). I actually saw a trainer with the same team and file name (White) as me, and they...
  17. 2013 Winter Friendly

    It's fine to disconnect on disconnectors. It probably won't negatively affect your disconnection rate, because they would have disconnected. In fact, it might even be preferable to take the disconnect and try for a different battle rather than putting effort into a match where your only choice...
  18. 2013 Winter Friendly

    The amount of disconnects is mind blowing. I get it that some people are angry when people use ubers, but they really should have read the rules. The web design crew probably should have thrown Kyurem in the Winter Friendly banner, but the rules weren't exactly a secret. I've had people...
  19. 5th Gen PRNG Help / Info - Latest: RNG Reporter 9.96.5, PPRNG 1.15.0

    I was able to do Reshiram in White 2, but had to offset the PID frame by -3 in RNG Reporter. Any reason for this?
  20. 5th Gen PRNG Help / Info - Latest: RNG Reporter 9.96.5, PPRNG 1.15.0

    I think I've been having these issues too.
