    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    She's so pale because of the lighting engine in SV, look at her model in Pokemon Masters or her anime design and she is noticably lighter in SV than either of those, most noticably with her jacket.

    "Secondary Starter Pokémon": Because 2nd Place Is Still Impressive

    Frankly, I feel a lot of the time, the regional bird mon fits this mold pretty well. Available early (pre-second gym is the latest I can think of, with most of them being route 1), often 3 stages (Noctowl, Swellow and Kilowattrel being exceptions). Staraptor is when they peak, with it having a...

    Your Favourite Place (Route, City, etc.) in Pokemon

    The Battle Resort in ORAS is a place I spent a lot of time in when it was the current game. It's a pretty simple area, but its packed with stuff that would attract you to the place, competitive players have the Battle Maison as the game's resident battle facility, while shiny hunters would...

    What is the most “neglected” Starter Pokémon of all time?

    In terms of Galar starters in the anime, Cinderace is the most prominent, but Grookey takes the "cute mascot starter" role that was filled by mons like Piplup in the past around halfway through Journeys, and while it takes a while, Inteleon becomes something of a secondary ace for Goh late into...

    Unpopular opinions

    Massive same for me, would recommend Ranger 3 and PMD1 (though that's a gen 3 game) a lot. Sidegames are a major thing for me and I wish we got more of them, they haven't had much other than New Snap and i guess Rescue Team DX and Detective Pikachu Returns since gen 7. Idk how unpopular this...

    What if the next gen game gyms weren't monotype but instead strategy-centric?

    Honestly, while i'm inherently opposed to the idea of fully switching to doubles for the story, I wouldn't mind seeing a departure from the classic "we use this type" gym format. Something like a gym where the theme is "pokemon with synergistic abilities" instead, with a theme of Bron(zor/zong)...

    Sticky Orange Islands SQSA Thread

    almost any shadow mon in XD is technically possible to take advantage of since you can just get them from Miror B rematches after trading is unlocked, plus a few in colosseum like Togetic and the starters would also be possible. All of this would require trading the mons in after that...

    Media The Dragon Ball Thread

    yeah, Part 2 is pretty insane so far, hopefully it continues on this trajectory bc the part 1 has had people (pretty justifiably) compaining about there being nothing to do as well as the animations not being as good as they should be

    Tragedy of using Rock-types in-game

    Frankly, for the sake of In-Game, I find most types to be fine, but rock especially doesn't feel bad at all to me. Normal type resistance is valuable, they usually get decent ways to deal with at least a couple of their resists, ground moves are commonplace to deal with Steels, and the rock STAB...

    Your favorite video games

    I'm gonna put another good word in for this game (and honestly the prequel too), the writing isn't anything special and the voice acting can leave a lot to be desired, though hearing Shulk as the prime minister of Japan was fun, but the gameplay really is fun. It feels like a perfection of the...

    Well, I got lucky so far, got myself enough stones for 1 rotation on each so far, and in that I've managed to get myself a copy of Daima SSJ4 Goku and a copy of Majin Duu. Gonna continue to try to get myself SSJ3 Vegeta because I actually like him more, but so far i'd call this all successful.
