    Weird ways you pronunciate Pokemon's names

    I didn't realize I was pronouncing "Ill-ooh-mize" wrong until pretty recently, though I do think that "Ill-oo-me-say" is at least unintuitive. Similarly, I didn't get Delibird's pun name for a really long time because I was saying "deli-bird," like it was going to make me a pastrami, not...

    WIP Bound/Incarnate Repurposes existing forme words with a more literal spin on it (bookbinding/ink), and otherwise pretty straightforward.

    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - Release 19th Nov 2021

    Oh, sure, I just thought it was interesting that it was essentially de-confirmed by the artwork. Though things are actually less straightforward than I thought. It turns out there's two versions of the DP map, one of which has Fullmoon Island and the other of which explicitly doesn't. Fullmoon...

    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - Release 19th Nov 2021

    Amity Square seems to be missing, or at least really overgrown. I guess with the following mechanic it'd be redundant, though this does seem to imply that Accessories are totally junked since they already weren't mentioned at all in the Contest section. Newmoon Island is also absolutely nowhere...

    Hera is also very weak to a number of spread moves (air cutter, heat wave, lava plume, eruption...) that can make doubling up on it risky. It's definitely strong, but I've found it to not be quite as consistent as something like Flower Veil or a good NGas user.

    I've found Pixilate quite nice. It bops Dark/Ghosts as well as Dragapult, and situationally increases your damage output even against neutral targets. The downside is mostly that you don't do quite as well against MVenu and the like, which is bearable. Ghosts are definitely quite good, though...

    Botched predictions for Pokemon games

    Oh, this reminded me of another one: There was a theory that Xerneas represented the nervous system and that Yveltal was sinew and muscle, based off of their respective designs, and that the Z legendary would be somehow thematically based off of bone. Honestly, it was pretty cool--and could have...

    Botched predictions for Pokemon games

    Or Pokémon Girasol, for people who were still more literal-minded. Back when DP came out there was also a theory that the third game would feature Mesprit as the box legend, based off of allegory with Crystal. I think the idea was that it would roam throughout the storyline much like Suicune...

    I think Blitz might be difficult to keep track of, because the events of a turn are so variable it can be hard to figure out what happened without seeing the moves--and watching the animations is definitely part of the fun for me, anyway. Though a shortened timer, or the VGC one, both sound like...

    Bug Reports v3 [READ ORIGINAL POST before posting]

    Unsure if this is just visual or not, but in Hackmons, Silvally-Rock was showing as having the Special Defense boost in Sand despite not having RKS and being Normal-type.

    Sword & Shield Battle Mechanics Research

    If you play with animations turned off, you can see that when Cramorant uses Dive it actually goes through the Forme change and then hides underwater--which was useful for me because on one particular usage the opponent Cramorant ended up turning into Pikachu-gulp, so I was able to switch to an...

    I tried a Plus/Minus team a couple weeks ago (and thought I posted it but apparently not!) and it's pretty underwhelming: Gengar-Mega @ choice specs Ability: Plus EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Mild Nature - Metronome Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite Ability: Minus...

    Approved Return/Frustration Base Power Tooltip

    "Frustration - 102 BP (32/32)"? Or just "Frustration - 102 (32/32)" though that may be a little more confusing. I do agree it would be very useful for Hackmons, though ultimately rather situational as usually it wouldn't be an unknown quality. (And in Hackmons it's usually not all that...
