    Shiny Pokemon Experiences

    There’s actually a couple legendaries that don’t have bad shinies per se but I prefer their original colors more. Shiny Suicune looks kinda washed out to me and I like the purple mane of regular. I also prefer regular Xernea’s deeper blue and black color scheme compared to shiny’s white and neon...

    Shiny Pokemon Experiences

    Obviously shinies are a big deal because of how rare they are, and so to even have one in your possession is really cool. But are there some Pokémon that you just prefer their original colors over their shiny? Perhaps it’s not that the shiny is necessarily bad (there are plenty of...

    Nickname discussion

    I remember my first Mudkip; I didn’t like the design of Marshtomp or Swampert so I kept it little and it learned Hydro Pump. I named it Snuggles. Then I let someone else play my game at Karate Camp and returned to find a frickin’ Marshtomp lol

    Major missed pun opportunity by not naming it the World Series of Pokémon, but whatever ;)

    What do y’all think of those “.TV” giveaways?

    I hope this is okay to post; I checked the rules before I made this thread. When I was trying to get into competitive battling seriously I remember freaking out about anything to do with hacks; being a frequent wonder trader I of course had quite a few of those hacked Pokémon from groups like...

    Shiny Pokemon Experiences

    So my Pokémon journey hasn’t been the smartest and some of the shinies I have encountered and caught have been traded away. My first real encounter (not including the lake of rage) was with a Diggersby in the Friend Safari in X, and he’s gone. Later I would catch an Amoongus in Y that I...

    Research How many possible teams are there in Pokemon ? A comprehensive and detailed answer.

    And then you get into competitive and the number drops to about 10 ;) Seriously though, it’s really cool that you went to check this out. It furthers a theory I saw that a major reason for Pokémon’s is that it allows people to express their individuality within the community :)

    Unpopular opinions

    I do think there’s like one or two npc’s who say something about lower stage Pokémon learning certain moves in the early games... But anybody who’s anybody has obviously already seen the anime episode where Ash goes up against Lt. Surge and learned about it through that, amirite?

    Hopefully they’ll still bring the bike back but I’m all for Ride Pokémon replacing HMs still (that was their original purpose it seems but the bike kinda got lumped in there)

    The most amazing thing you have done in Pokémon?

    I don’t have near the awesome moments y’all have, but my crazy awesome moment is catching Xerneas in a Beast Ball in Ultra Sun. Probably the best pair of Pokémon and Poke Ball I have, and I can team it up with an XYZ Yveltal in a Cherish Ball I traded for soon after.

    That’s a fair counterpoint, which is why I’m softening my stance somewhat (even though I’m still not a fan of a lot of ORAS’ creative choices). Also I kind of realized that your player character could be considered “nobility” (child of a gym leader); Hoenn’s the closest we’ve gotten to a Greek...

    I feel bad that I didn’t answer this right away because I do acknowledge that the term Mary Sue gets thrown around way too much and I don’t want to be a part of that bandwagon. (Though we won’t get into my feelings on Steven Universe...the show or the character) I don’t see the player character...
