    Pokémon Presents - Pokémon Day 2025 - Pokemon ZA Info & Pokemon Champions Announced

    I think they will only reveal some of the new Megas, yeah. Priority will most likely go to the Megas of Pokemon that are particularly marketable, which is what SwSh, Legends: Arceus (with Hisuian forms and whatnot), and SV did with their new designs: prioritize popular/marketable designs...

    Mega Dragonite looks majestic actually, and I love that it incorporates the more beautiful and magnificent elements of Dragonair's design into it, truly being magnificent and larger-than-life.

    MEGA DRAGONITE HELL YEAH THIS IS A WIN (Legends: Z-A is looking mighty good! Rogue Megas, Team MZ, and whatnot, this is gonna be great!)

    I would personally say Leon is arguably my favorite Champion of the lot. SwSh aren't my favorite games but I do like a lot of the characters and Leon is a Champion I do genuinely like. His fight was actually pretty fun despite the EXP All being permanent and he actually did put up a good...

    Steel kinda gained an offensive benefit in Gen 6 by being one of the few types that hits Fairy super effectively. I think that's the main reason why it even gets used offensively at all nowadays. Yeah as a whole its concept is that it's the blanket defensive type but is a rather bad offensive...

    SPOILERS! General Pokémon Anime Discussion

    In other news, a new team member for Liko in Pokemon Horizons' latest episode: Behold, thy noble knight and flaming passionate warrior, the Fire Child Charcadet joins Liko's team! This one will definitely become Armarouge one day, contrasting Amethio who has Ceruledge.

    I like how Liko in Pokemon Horizons is the protagonist and hero of the story, but has a battling style where she fights like a villain. It makes her so compelling that she's on one hand a very compassionate and empathetic person with an affinity for connection and bonds, and understanding...

    I have seen episodes of post-Indigo Pokemon anime. Still, this post does point to how fascinatingly funny it is that even though Ash was the main character of the Pokemon anime for so long, the vast majority of his show past the original series is really obscure and niche. Even nowadays in the...

    In general one disappointment I had with the original Wild Area when I first played SwSh was how relatively monotonous it is. Outside of the Dusty Bowl and a few lakes, it's very much just a big grassy field. What makes meeting Pokemon and exploring a region fun to me in a Pokemon game is to go...

    A bit late to comment on it, but I love the contrast in the boxart of Legends: Arceus and the boxart of Legends: Z-A. Not just in terms of the time setting but overall setting, vibe, and atmosphere. Arceus: In the light of day, out in the open, untamed wilderness, with Mt. Coronet in the...

    Well as usual, a 30 second trailer with what is seemingly a new OST for the game. Take with it as you will, folks.

    Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**

    Gotta say, I love how well SV is running on the Switch 2. Once I get my hands on the Switch 2 this will finally give me the incentive to replay it. SV is, despite its technical flaws on Switch 1, one of my favorite entries in the franchise, because for all its flaws there are so many things I...

    Its plainness combined with Larry being just a guy is funny for sure, but this reminds me of a funny moment in the anime: And Larry's Flamigo and Oricorio Blank stare of two basic ass design birds...just no reaction to the explosion. Flamigo is just standing there looking with no emotion...
