    Have you not seen Pokemon Heroes? The Latis' water association is pretty clear. The Dreepy line are based on Diplocaulus. They fly because they're ghosts, the stealth fighter thing is exaggeration of the animal's existing qualities.

    I think Miror B. might be why they didn't give him Ludicolo, they didn't want to have two different dancers have the same ace.

    They were remaking Diamond and Pearl, not Platinum you were never gonna get any elements of Platinum changes cause they were all changes to the main story or Pokémon distribution, neither of which were ever carried over in remakes prior. ORAS has nothing of Emerald and HGSS only carried over...
  6. 5* Raids for Shiny Treasures of Ruin

    Ting-Lu is at least Tera Ground so that should dissuade most of the ones that only look at the Tera Type and ignore the actual Pokémon.

    I don't know if the Expansion Suit would even still fit her, she was pretty short in XY and now she's taller. Also unrelated note, how exactly are they tracking the victories for Shiny Treasures of Ruin?
  8. Pokémon Presents - Pokémon Day 2025 - Pokemon ZA Info & Pokemon Champions Announced

    Origins came out in October 2nd 2013, XY launched on the 12th, that's barely prerelease, and was only prerelease in Japan, Origins didn't release until November in English. Those don't count. Not being revealed prerelease means they weren't revealed prerelease. Because it's version exclusive...

    SV doesn't display an item indicator in pre-battle either. This is just a gen 9 change. Europe (or South America?

  14. Unpopular opinions

    Gengar's shiny was fine prior to XY. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't pre-SV Garchomp bad like it became. This isn't the case in Crystal, they moved it to the Ice Path. Still late game, but not outright post-game.
  15. Unpopular opinions

    Many actual Dark types don't learn Throat Chop, especially not fully evolved ones. The characteristic is derived from a Pokémon's IVs.
