    SPOILERS! 2026 FireRed/LeafGreen Switch rerelease announced (standalone purchase)

    This is asked in the official Q&A and they waffle a bit about giving fans "the upgraded experience" We thought users will appreciate the ultimate versions of those original adventures, which add various features and upgrades to the contents of Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version. So...

    SPOILERS! 2026 FireRed/LeafGreen Switch rerelease announced (standalone purchase)

    So this is finally happening. Not that I'm planning on getting a Switch any time soon but the prospect of bringing your Pokemon all the way up from FRLG carts and then getting to send them "home" is... fucking cool, I gotta say. Wonder if the fact they'll be Home-compatible means there'll be...

    Pokémon GO

    A change no-one asked for, wanted, or is likely to consider justified https://pokemongo.com/news/mega-evolution-2026-update Honestly between this and how lacklustre the past few months have been, I think I'm going to take a break from Go for a while. Better things to do.

    SPOILERS! Mantine Surf Discussion and Records

    I'm fairly sure there's a hard limit since the energy drops eventually stop spawning but I've seen screenshots of people getting up to 9000 before.

    Pokémon GO

    Oh darn, that's even more underwhelming. I thought I read there'd be a separate research. Looks like they're reserving Zygarde for a later event then - hopefully this year, but who knows. Leaks seem to indicate Mega Mewtwo and a Zeraora debut will be the focus of Go Fest this year. 10th...

    Pokémon GO

    I'm not certain, I read that there'd be a research quest but not sure if it awards a Zygarde encounter or just a load of cells. If the latter I guess I can remain hopeful it'll eventually get put in raids when they release the mega. Yeah and it's not even clear yet how Malamar and Victreebel...

    Pokémon GO

    Been waiting with decreasing optimism for a last minute announcement about the Kalos tour next week but it seems like I have to face facts: we really are only going to get one Zygarde and one Hoopa encounter. Niantic/Scopely really did themselves out of easy money there. I have a ton of green...

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

    I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Colosseum/XD yet because this... is basically what they are, to a certain degree. Like, there aren't gyms but there are colosseum challenges, and each of the major bosses can broadly be equated to gym leaders (I'm sure someone will disagree with me on this, but...

    Oh duh, yeah. So does it or...?

    Sticky Orange Islands SQSA Thread

    I'm curious, does the Repeat Ball have any functionality in the Orre-based games? The only situation I could think of this actually affecting would be on the Electabuzz in XD if you got the Elekid from Hordel and evolved it, but just wondering.

    Unpopular opinions

    The Dive Ball is better in every conceivable way than the Net Ball and all true men of culture know this to be so

    Reminded earlier of what must be one of the most under-the-radar terrifying lines from the entire series: "The cave that links SOOTOPOLIS and the outside world… It seems as if the cave was made to keep something from getting out. Or am I just imagining things?"

    Rings a bell! I'd forgotten about this entirely, thanks.
