    what's your favorite retro game?

    I am unreasonably distressed that out of the 11 games mentioned, only 3 are older than my Smogon account. Pokémon Crystal and Banjo-Kazooie are my usual standbys for older gaming experiences. I have a save file on Nintendo Switch Online with Furnace Fun Moves set up so I can play it all in one...

    bro last night was a dangerous cave diving experience. More than 300 bros have died in open nights like that one. We need professional training. There's nothing in that night worth dying over. It can happen to you.

    Memes You Found Mk. 2

    There's no time to explain those poorly masked right wing beliefs entirely routed in embarrassing media complaints. This 32 year old that sounds like a 14 year old needs to triple post more of their own ms paint memes.

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

    Would not expect withdraw / deposit support for Pokemon Home with FRLG for some of the reasons I posted about earlier this year: Obviously this is at most restricted to FRLG, but tracking these sorts of things I believe would be super difficult. Wouldn't expect it. If they do, that's...

    Pokémon Bank Shutdown - Feb 2027

    About a decade ago, I completed an entire pokedex of pokemon with their hidden abilities (at least whatever was then accessible) in Gen 6. I remember rebreeding a lot of it as SM approached, because I also wanted Gen 6 to have access to these abilities if I ever needed them for whatever reason...

    Bank Transfer Only Pokémon

    Worth some mention that if, for whatever reason you want every Pokemon available in a Gen 7 game, there's a boatload of Pokemon only accessible through prior generation transfer. You'll need to pair down these lists. Probably worth at least keeping a Johto Origin Pokemon somewhere in that...

    Pokémon Champions - releasing April 8, 2026

    So there are a lot of valid criticisms of Pokemon Champions. Just... Just look at that Haze clip, my god. I do want to push back on one: the Pokedex size I think for the sake of Pokemon battling, this is around the size of regional Pokedexes we've been getting for the last decade. We have...

    Research Champions Battle Mechanics Research

    Changing a Pokemon's ability in Pokemon Champions *will not* change it's ability in other games. Just sent a Gen 2 Heracross to Champions and changed Moxie to Guts. Sent it back to home. The Heracross has Moxie again. If they let you move over the ability change, this means Gen 8 would have had...
