They really can't figure out how to pose this guy, huh. Mega Zeraora really needed to go back to the drawing board. Feraligatr too. Its gimmick can't be perfectly replicated in its still art, but they really should have made some tweaks to a least give a better hint of the gimmick. Like, give...

I sure hope HOME support drops next week, because a ranked ladder format in which Marshadow is pulling its weight is the dream, but I want to use my lil' buddy during the story too. In the SwSh ladder formats that Marshadow was legal in, all of the restricteds were legal as well. I'm also happy...

...this is their own domain, I don't think they need to squat the rights on this one. If this does turn out to be the gen 10 name, I will forever be annoyed that they went with a singular wave.

Serebii is just pointing out that hisuian electrode is the first mon/form that didn't exist during SwSh to dynamax. In addition to Greta's Breloom that RN mentioned, there was also Emmet(?)'s Eelektross in Masters. TCG did have a Deoxys Vmax. So while I wouldn't exactly call this a flood, I...

Personally, I prefer PLA's environment and artstyle to ZA's (except for the weird purple tinge everything had), but I loathe the battle system and much prefer ZA's. PLA's battle system wasn't too bad during the main campaign, but fighting 4 alphas at once really showed how bad it could be. Not...

Those are jokes, because there is obviously no objectively correct ordering. I similarly did not think there was a possibility that I might have caught the universe in the midst of rewriting history, leaving memory of the type chart order as a Mandela effect. Aside from being more familiar with...

Great, another mystery solved by the crowd reading the pages the poster linked to but didn't bother reading all the way through himself.

Several sites (e.g., Bulbapedia, richi3f's team planner, Pokeos' favorite Pokemon picker) have a Pokemon type listing that orders types as 1. Normal 2. Fighting 3. Flying 4. Poison 5. Ground 6. Rock 7. Bug 8. Ghost 9. Steel 10. Fire 11. Water 12. Grass 13. Electric 14. Psychic 15. Ice 16...

I feel like Zarude is a victim of circumstance, whereas Volcanion's poor treatment feels intentional at this point, as if they regret ever including it in the first place. They had time to do something more interesting with it and it seems like they purposely tried to do the opposite at every...

Everyone always complains about Charizard and Lucario get special treatment, but there are some other Pokemon that seem to be getting special treatment in terms of making it into a lot of games lately that we should start complaining about:

I have a personal conspiracy theory that Mega started life as a Mega Dragapult design until some higher up decided that they needed a more popular Pokemon to gate behind an exclusive event and ordered it be retooled.

It seems like all the mythicals are DLC post-game, which is disappointing but not surprising. The DLC is already post main game and has level 100+ Pokemon, it just feels stingy to lock anything other than Hoopa to postpostgame. And Mega is also dlc postgame? Geeze, GameFreak, let us use the...

Centro claims the following main versus sidequest versus unknown availability for returning legends and mythicals, though based on the PokeCorpus I think there is at least one inaccuracy.

Welp, unless this is not complete yet, it seems like I might be waiting for either HOME compatibility or a mystery gift before I play the DLC. Some non-mega-getting mythicals have associated quests. I didn't notice if there was any way to tell if they are EX quests like Diancie or Mewtwo, or if...
