    Pokémon Presents - Pokémon Day 2025 - Pokemon ZA Info & Pokemon Champions Announced

    The former we already have in Showdown. But let's get the latter in Showdown as a suggestion. "It's extremely effective!" (x4) and "It's mostly ineffective..." (x0.25) messages respectively.

    Why hasn't X-Scissor been buffed yet? Give it 90BP for crying out loud.

    I don't treat the Legends games as core series games. Yes, the Hisui additions did make their way into Scarlet/Violet, but Legends: Arceus (and thus the upcoming Legends: Z-A) are much starkly different from the rest of their ilk, particularly in how battling works, that the experience I have in...

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    Lopunny can't learn Bulk Up. Guess Game Freak has never heard of My Hero Academia.

    Pokémon that exceeded your expectations in-game despite looking bad initially?

    I honestly wasn't even thinking of Magnezone when playing Sun. Yet it was a major player in my team. Honestly it's been almost a decade since I played that game so I don't know how the Magnemite line did there but I wasn't really wanting to use it at first.

    What do you think is the best Pokémon game so far?

    B2W2, with all of Gen 7 following close behind. SwSh can go die in a ditch.

    Nickname discussion

    Apologies for the double post, but with this thread being dormant for  over a year, it felt right doing the nickname dumping again by way of a pretty taboo double post, but this time with my latest Pokémon-based obsession (and arguably the one I have the best time with!), 35 Pokes. Every month...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Shiny Pokémon (excluding the Pikachu line) that Game Freak took zero to negative effort to make. You can almost make a OU-viable team with these lame bastards. :garchomp: :ceruledge: :blissey: :zapdos: :gholdengo:

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I'm increasingly finding it irksome that getting a perfect IV Pokémon in-game without resorting to Hyper Training with bottle caps amounts to massive amounts of chain-breeding (worse if you don't have the Destiny Knot held by one of the two progenitors of any breeding chain). Pokémon pulled a...

    Do you actually play Reverse: 1999?

    Unpopular opinions

    Toxic as a limited TM now is pretty nebulous in the fact that Umbreon can learn it in Scarlet/Violet (poisonous sweat) but not in BDSP. Also on the topic of Toxic, I ran it on Sawsbuck during the January 2025 metagame of 35 Pokes because I nicknamed it after a character from Reverse: 1999...

    Unpopular opinions

    I don't know how unpopular this is but: Sword/Shield's version-exclusive Gym Leaders were a pretty bad idea in hindsight. Just because I played Sword instead of Shield... bam, no Melony for me. I get her much less popular son Gordie instead.
