No kidding considering the prices. It's very clear this wave is designed as collectibles for Millennials who are able to afford $650 display pieces like that and have plenty of Kanto nostalgia. For the cheaper side, at least Eevee is a decent price and is one of the better looking ones of that...

Ok, I know pathfinding in Hyperspace Lumiose can be a bit... eh sometimes, but I just had a weird bit of it. I was in a small hyperspace distortion, the field one with lots of scaffolding, and for some reason when I was in the field farther from the opening, my Meganium would run over to the...

TBF there have been multiple hardware leaps since 2008-2012, and game development time has definitely increased. For an extreme, it used to take about three months for an Atari game to be made when modern AAA titles take at least five years. Frankly, DS games don't need as much time to make...

This is just factually wrong. You can do the same with just one copy of the games and Home because you can just make an alt account on your Switch and transfer over mons from your alt to your main. You can argue there's still an accessibility issue there and it doesn't count version exclusives...

Yeah, hot take, but "owning the games to play VGC and the console to play them on" shouldn't be viewed as some sort of accessibility barrier to VGC. Owning other games for mons, yes, though realistically it only affects people just getting into the scene. Owning the games you are competing on...

Not sure if this is the proper place since it does cover Teraleak 2 material, but Turtlebro on Youtube released a vid on the various builds of the game up until the teraleak occurred. Not gonna link the vid just to be safe, but you should be able to find it easily. Probably the most important...

That still is reaching. As said, Magearna has gotten more special treatment than Zeraora, and no one is accusing it of being an industry plant/Pokeslop/whatever the new word for things people don't like that they pretend is for an actual reason besides subjective preferences. Zoroark has also...

So I thought up a really stupid set to try. Blaziken @ Scope Lens EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Modest Nature - Focus Energy - Flamethrower/Overheat/Heat Wave/Blast Burn - Focus Blast/Vacuum Wave - Solar Beam 110 base SpA isn't nothing, plus you can auto crit making up for the lack of Nasty...

I also think it's funny how Mega Starmie is the second most popular mega in Japan. Clearly the Tokusatsu influence mixed with being a goofy goober carries much more weight there. Also Charizard being so high on both lists makes sense and yet will infuriate too many people overly online.

Gen V fans have become the new Gen Wunners. Yes, of course I'd like to hear on every single site how BW 1 & 2 are unquestionably the greatest Pokémon games and everything after them is just a downward spiral. No, of course it isn't nostalgia talking like almost every media discussion on the...

Milotic receives Calm Mind. Finally, the prophecy of BDSP is fulfilled. Crolotic is go.

Wait, Garchomp has Nasty Plot? Who said it needed ground STAB? This thing is gonna be bonkers.

Finally. It has all it need. Broken mon. 10/10. Better than Xerneas.

Don't forget Fire Blast. Even if it just keeps 130 base Attack, it still hits hard from the physical side, and now with its high special its not looking too shabby going mixed. Plus we don't know its ability yet. It's not all down and out for Garchomp yet.

No, they didn't let Garchomp keep the good shiny color scheme. At least the standard version will always have that over the Z-Mega.
