Now this Pokémon family has been mentioned before, but I actually quite like where it ends up. Where I get disappointed is when my sturdy little dino rhino evolves into a chubby grey Nidoking-from-Temu Couldn’t have kept it on all fours? Leant into the charging rhino theme and given it high...

Pokémon Silver is objectively the best Pokémon game, based on the objective criteria that I found it the most fun to play the first time I played it. I refused to play SoulSilver because a) Gen 4’s slowness in battles made it a massive chore, and b) I hear Johto is actually pretty janky and I...

To save me having to post this in both the ‘little things you like about Pokémon’ thread and the ‘little things that annoy you about Pokémon’ thread: There’s a mega dragonite.

I wish you could change the ball you caught your Pokémon in for another ball in your bag. Make it destroy the original ball so you can’t just catch all pidgeys in the master ball and swap them out for pokeballs after. Silly little aesthetic thing, but great balls are ugly and so is the master...

One thing that bothers me about the ‘hard’ Pokémon types (other than Ice not resisting Normal - it’s weak to Fighting, it should resist Normal), is that stacking them together makes them easier for Fighting to break. I mean we all understand the Mohn’s Hardness Scale: Ice < Rock < Steel...

Mighty Ape (New Zealand) has this up for pre-order. Unless I’m missing something about a February release being bad?

Should have been Hatenna, Hattrem and Hattterene I’m playing Sword again and it’s really annoying that I can’t just throw myself off ledges and fly around the wild area on an eagle.

I’m naming him ‘Don Quaxote’ just kidding I’m team Fuecoco

I hope they don’t bring the Legend Plate into the main series games. I hope they just change Multitype to have the same effect. and update the RKS System to match as well I guess, who really has time for ‘plates’ and ‘memories’?

I think once you get past the ice cube it has quite a noice face

Isn't 'the Lord' referencing 'Lord Gravetric, ruler of the underworld' there? Or am I missing a bit?

Looks like it's time to bring in the Stone Stone! Or the Steel Stone I guess but it's just not the same.
