Hardly a surprise but shiny Diancie incoming

We have our new concept! And after that... this thread will be going on indefinite hiatus. Make it a good one, boys and girls. You are a Dragon-type specialist in Hisui. How do you best represent your chosen type? First (and probably last) time in Hisui. Dragon is the only type that really...

And that's a wrap - congrats to Bog Monster for winning this round! Will DM you shortly.

I mean really anything can do a frenetic fighting dance if you broaden the definition of the term "dance" - stomping, flexing, posturing. But Jumpluff still makes a weird candidate for Swords Dance, it's not particularly barbaric or aggressive.

^ this. It's the generic "raise Attack" move. Meditate and Howl and Bulk Up and Dragon Dance are all fairly restricted because they're more characteristic of certain Pokemon archetypes, but Swords Dance is given to just about anything with sharp teeth or claws or any sort of protruding limb or...

Hola. New poll is up. https://strawpoll.com/GPgVYwENpna You have until November 23rd, 9PM GMT to cast your vote! Let's look at the numbers.

There's definitely a few types which took a while to shake off bad perceptions. Like, Dragon and Ghost have always been "exciting" types because of their rarity and their strengths. There's a mystique to them which was a very deliberate thing in Gen I but has very definitely persisted even at...

I mean literally what is the point of it being Galar's mythical at that point. Even if it's not found there now, did it maybe once live there many decades or centuries ago? Was Galar just the first place it was seen? Mind you, it's also the mythical whose non-specialness is played up most...

I feel like maturity is realising Flying is Good, Actually*. Like when you're younger Flying just seems like a crappy, mundane sort of functional early-game type that's not that exciting or interesting and then you grow up and realise, damn Flying's just so good *other revelations maturity...

low-effort but it's been that sorta day also where the fuck is Volcanion

This is basically canonised I think - if you look at the wings introduced in Gen V, the Sp.Atk-boosting feather is the Genius Feather (called Mind Feather in the originals) while the Sp.Def-boosting feather is the Clever Feather (Intelligence Feather in the originals). I'm reasonably sure...

Stumbled across one of the scripts for an earlier game on a website (as in the game's text, not the code) and something I noticed both Gen II and III have is a character who says "My Pokemon brought me some mail from my boyfriend/girlfriend who lives overseas!" It's such a cute idea and one of...

Fuck yeah, I've done RSE runs using Shedinja before and the midgame is HELLISH for it. It's virtually no use against Wattson or Flannery or Winona, central Hoenn is full of Bird Keepers and stuff that can poison you, and both Team Aqua and Magma have teams full of Zubat and Poochyena which both...

Yes, prevos are fine :)
