Back into it! You are a Psychic-type specialist in SM Poni Island. How do you best represent your chosen type? Been a while since we've done Psychic, it's a weirdly common type for how magical and elusive it comes across as... A reminder to please read the guidelines in the OP before...

Well, it was an honest mistake and not a million miles removed from the concept so I figured why not.

Voting closed - congratulations to igiveuponaname for winning this round! Will DM you shortly.

Idk about this. It worked for Iris's Axew, but only because he earnestly wanted to evolve right from the beginning. Pikachu's character, by contrast, has always been about wanting to be strong on his own terms and prove wrong the perception that evolution = strength. Ash's battle against Surge...

Not to me (also my point was this was from 1999, so it's a surprise to see so many of them still in existence)

I'm not a big toy collector when it comes to Pokemon, but approximately a million years ago Burger King (I think?) did a promotion for one of the movies (I want to say the first movie... might have been the second) and gave away little figurines with each meal and I ended up getting a Raichu...

Mmm, largely depends on the Fire-type. Hoenn counterbalances slightly better movesets with the fact that Fire-types generally aren't available until well into the midgame if you don't choose Torchic; as you note, Slugma is hard to raise and Torkoal's moveset is far from stellar. Numel is the...

Oh lord I'm way out of step with Berry names based on your list alone (I've no idea how most of these are spoken in the anime/narrated games). Mago - MAY-goh Iapapa - EYE-uh-PA-pa Rabuta - Rah-BOO-tah Spelon - SPELL-on Pamtre - PAM-tray - for the life of me I don't know why my brain defaults to...

I think for a lot of types the answer to this question would (boringly) be the same: Gen II. Fire in Gen I is underwhelming for sure, but the introduction of Steel in Gen II makes Fire coverage a lot more attractive. There's also the fact that almost every Fire-type Pokemon in the game was...

Honestly peak Pokemon anime intro, yes the original is a timeless classic and I've got a great fondness for the Johto opening but this really is superb in every regard. The extended version of the song is even better.

...wait, is Zayn-goose how it's meant to be said? Mind officially blown if so. This reminds me, I've always pronounced Bidoof as Bee-doof. Not because I think that's the way it necessarily should be said, but because of that one Pokemon Diamond walkthrough video Marriland did where he fights...

Got back from Scotland quite late last night and crashed out so missed this entirely. A day late, here we are! https://strawpoll.com/61gD9vE7WZw You have until August 20th, 9PM GMT to make your case! Let's look at the numbers.

It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realise Magearna should be pronounced "Mah-GEAR-na" and not "Mah-jee-AH-na"

I may be misremembering but I thought shiny Zac&Zam were tradeable since their shiny release in Go. Or is that only via friend-to-friend trading and not over the GTS?

"Please"?

Not a particularly compelling answer but lots of Pokemon get moves/abilities which are slightly redundant (an example would be Pangoro having Scrappy when... it's a Dark-type)

Always thought this. It goes for late-game Pokemon in general tbh - stuff that evolves on the later end of the spectrum can be a really fun way to counteract the usual formula. I'm not talking the extreme end of that scale like Mienfoo and Rufflet (though those can be a fun challenge too, I...

Editing for "lesser-used": Chinchou, Stantler, Miltank, Girafarig, Growlithe, Poliwrath, Sandshrew, and Wooper would all be good choices Jynx and Doduo are good too, but both come relatively late.

Remembered earlier that the original teaser for the thirteenth movie had Ho-Oh and Lugia clashing, which ended up being discarded in the final cut. I go back and forth on how much I like this concept - it'd probably have been cool to see, but they're one of the few legendary duos which haven't...
