| Anyone else think Pokémon Sword and Shield was a bit disappointing? Posted: 26 Apr 2020 03:05 AM PDT Idk if it's just me but I've only recently realised that I've been a little disappointed by the 8th generation of Pokémon. I recently returned to Shield a few months after buying it due to quarantine leaving me short on things to do and it all came back to me on how fast-paced and underwhelming these games were. I could talk forever on how the lack of postgame content makes the game not worth the purchase, or how the game just overall feels rushed and is missing half the Pokémon that were staple to the series throughout the years and severely lacks memorable and exciting content. The expansion pass is good to have, yeah, but in my opinion the NEED for the expansion pass is the issue. The fact the expansion pass was released shortly after just feels like an attempt to revive the overall disappointment these games were, and having to pay more for a game we already payed for just makes me feel cheated overall with my purchase of the game. What do you guys think? I get that it's very controversial, maybe the kids who are growing up with Sword and Shield will eventually look back on it the same way I look back on the 4th generation and how fun that was for me, and that's why I'd love to say there were some cool things about these games, I mean just look at Corviknight, the effort and dedication the developers put in to this Pokémon is literally visible within its design. These are just my opinions, what do you guys think? Overall the 8th generation disappointed me and only makes me more upset looking back at old generations on the Nintendo DS and just wondering if GameFreak actually care about enjoyment within these games anymore. I'm now just hoping they don't mess up the remakes of Gen 4 as if they are successful with these i will be beyond happy as the Sinnoh region is by far my favourite of the series. Edit: I'm new to this sub (and reddit) and so i wasn't aware that I am most certainly not the only one with this opinion. Can't edit the title now, but i wish I hadn't worded it as if I wasn't sure I was the only one as I am certainly not. 😅 Thanks for the interesting discussions though, was definitely controversial as Id predicted, interesting to see what everyone thinks [link] [comments] |
| Pokemon trainers, at least in BW/B2W2, can run 1 mile in 98.56 seconds Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:14 PM PDT For funsies I had my player in White run 40 yards and times it using the football field in the big stadium. Which he ran in 2.24 seconds. A simple conversion of 40 yards to 1760 yards turns 2.24 in to 98.56 second for one mile. Our characters are fast. [link] [comments] |
| What are the features of Sword and Shield that deserve to be praised? Posted: 26 Apr 2020 10:42 AM PDT Sword and Shield are bathing in the negativity of the Pokémon fanbase at the moment. Let us all take a break and think about whether Sword and Shield have any features that deserve to be praised. What are the features of Pokémon Sword and Shield that deserve to be praised?

| Posted: 25 Apr 2020 05:50 PM PDT My cat died a couple weeks ago, I wanted to share it since I named her after my fav pokemon, I just wanted to thank pokemon for all the good things that indirectly took part of my life. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2020 07:06 AM PDT Idk about anyone else. But I prefer it when all my pokemon are caught with regular pokeballs. It's just a nice little aesthetic and it fits nicely with my OCD. If I feel brave I try and catch legendaries with premier balls too. Idk I like to fit into character I guess. What about you guys? [link] [comments] |
| Following the leak, I have many thoughts and some drawings. Firstly, Xatu. Posted: 25 Apr 2020 07:57 PM PDT I'm certainly wrong. BUT, that silhouetted shadow-looking Pokemon shares too many similarities with Xatu for it not to be related. Xatu never moves, people think they are sensing pending doom. WHAT IF originally Xatu were always still because they are controlling some kind of ghost/fighting type version of themselves? Maybe this was re-tooled into Marshadow later and retconned into Ho-Oh's legend as it all originally started at the Ruins of Alph? There are so many cool concepts that Pokemon dropped, but the ones we got are also just as amazing. I'm going to draw all the old/new leaks as they give me a weird mandela effect-nostalgia that I just can't explain. Also middle Natu was too pure for this world. There were many birds that were lost in second gen. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:19 PM PDT Pour one out for my man Kadabra, who hasn't made an appearance in the TCG or anime since 2003 because some lugnut who bends spoons for a living got his panties in a twist. why do people even like uri geller keanu reeves in the matrix was a better spoon bender anyway (and I'm not just saying that because ha ha funny reddit meme man ugandan chungus) [link] [comments] |

| Should I purchase Sword or Shield? Posted: 26 Apr 2020 09:15 AM PDT Hi everyone, I've played Pokémon since Gen I and I finally saved up to buy a Switch and SwSh. My question is, which game should I get? I have a living Dex through Gen VI so the only real difference will be exclusives during my first play through and exclusive legendaries. [link] [comments] |
| Pokémon Shield was my first Pokémon game and I thoroughly enjoyed it Posted: 26 Apr 2020 11:08 AM PDT I'm no stranger to the controversy surrounding Generation 8, and I know that lifelong Pokémon fans have felt cheated by GameFreak. I felt like I should provide some fresh perspective on the game, from someone who's never played a Pokémon game before. Once I set foot in the Wild Area for the first time, I knew I was hooked. While it's no Breath of the Wild, being put into a relatively massive area with so many different Pokémon walking/floating around was surreal and something I wasn't expecting. I loved hearing and finding new Pokémon in the Wild Area every day, and I absolutely loved the music and overall atmosphere. The raid battles were also incredible. A lot of the moves in the game have incredible animations and I think it's wrong to group the entirety of the new animations as a total failure. The music and art design was incredible and I loved the variety found in the different cities, gym battles, and trainer/boss fights. The storyline was decent at best, but I knew going in that Pokémon games weren't famous for their storylines. Overall, it's a game I really enjoy and I'm still picking it up to join raid battles or explore the Wild Area more to try and get my remaining ~120 Pokémon. I'm excited for the expansion packs and I hope they actually bring the fun new functionality GF talked about. While it's obvious that the game was rushed and it's not as good as it could have been, I still think it's wrong to just ignore the things the game does right and to write off the generation as a complete failure.

| Posted: 26 Apr 2020 09:42 AM PDT In the pokemon anime I noticed trainers always wait for the ball to shake 3 times and for the light to stop blinking after capturing a Pokemon before coming into contact with the pokeball again. I like to think that if a trainer tried picking up the pokeball when it was still shaking and the light blinking they would suffer some kind of injury as the ball is going through some elemental properties trying to contain the pokemon. I made up the following of what would happen for each type if a trainer did what I described (yes it's weird I'm bored lol): Normal: trainer feels as if they got bit by a dog trying to pick up the ball Flying: trainer struggles breathing as it feels as if a huge jetstream of air is going down their throats against their lungs Water: trainer also struggles to breathe as it feels like their lungs are filling up with water Electric: trainer risks electrocution Ice: trainer risks getting instantaneous frostbite Fire: trainer risks getting 3rd degree burns Dragon: trainer risks getting their hand pierced by spikes (dragons have scaly skin) Psychic: trainer risks having their brain turned to mush Bug: trainer will feel like they got stung by a bee which will be followed by getting some kind of allergic reaction even if the trainer doesn't have any allergies Grass: trainer risks getting strangled as if it feels vines wrapping around their throat Steel: trainer risks getting hand cuts (like touching a running buzzsaw) and possible led poisoning Poison: risk of getting sick and possible death from posion Rock: the ball is simply too heavy to pick up (safest one lol) Fighting: trainer risks having bones in their hand and arm broken Ghost: trainer risks demonic possession Ground: trainer risks having their skin get severely dry and can cause major cracking and bleeding Dark: trainer risks going blind Fairy: trainer will have some kind of magic spell cast on them causing them to suffer randomly from one of the other 17 elemental types listed above On a final note if the pokemon trying to be captured is two types then the trainer will suffer from both types The end. 😋 [link] [comments] |
| So I was playing ultra sun today... Posted: 26 Apr 2020 10:31 AM PDT Well, today I finally beat ultra necrozma, and I unlocked the wormhole. A few minutes later, I found and caught a shiny Terrakion, then a shiny lombre, and about an hour later, I found and caught a shiny floatzel! This is after I have never found a wild shiny ever before today! [link] [comments] |
| Pokemon colosseum + XD gale of darkness continuing / spin off Posted: 26 Apr 2020 11:00 AM PDT Personally I loved these games and have recently purchased to play them again, I may be in nostalgia land but I recall the game being so ahead of its time with graphics as well as a very good story, and very unique to usual Pokemon games but keeping the same mechanics, personally would love something similar in a spin off game and they have the capabilities with the switch now jusy not sure if they'll be marketable in this day and age [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2020 05:11 AM PDT Almost 6 years ago now we got the remake of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire in the form of ORAS, with these remakes we got a post-game mission, new Mega Evolutions, new and interesting characters, lots of new mechanics, updated locations and Primal Forms. We also lost a few things along the way, Battle frontier (Yes it wasn't introduced until Emerald but they still could have included it), in accordance with X and Y the games became a lot easier due to the full team EXP Share, and many bike puzzles (for better or worse). With Gen 4 remakes almost certain to happen what new mechanics should be introduced to give the games their own spice? Many want either Primal or Mega forms of Dialga and Palkia, but should they instead get their own new mechanic like Kyogre and Groudon did with their Primal forms? Should they implement a hard mode like they did in BW2 where maybe the Gym leaders have stronger Pokemon/use mechanics like Mega Evolution? What new post-game adventures should be implemented?

| What do you think about Pokémon Emerald 15 years after its international release? Posted: 26 Apr 2020 10:57 AM PDT I'm really interested to hear your opinions about the third and final Hoenn adventure released for the GameBoy Advance. What did you like about it, and which aspects could've been better? Since there hasn't been much discussion about Emerald or Hoenn in general lately, I'd like to open this thread. [link] [comments] |
| I present to you... Pixel! (Pikachu+Toxel) Posted: 26 Apr 2020 10:44 AM PDT This is my first photoshop so please don't be too harsh (I know its bad). It was fun and I want to do it again. If you have a suggestion for which Pokemon I should do next leave a comment and I might do that one next! [link] [comments] |

| Possible theory on how important the league is Posted: 26 Apr 2020 08:09 AM PDT On an earlier post I asked whether or not the league was the government or not, and based on the feedback I think I've formed a theory on the subject, and I figured I'd run it past you guys to clear up any mistakes. By far the best feedback I got is the idea that the league is a branch of the government instead of the entire thing. Expanding off this idea I've theorized that the league is a branch of the state government, not the central government, specifically the branch in charge of defense. As for how it works, my best guess is that the gym leaders make decisions, the E4 is able to veto those decisions, and the Champion can override the E4's veto. Most people accept the idea that the league is a sporting event, but there's on little detail that raises a few issues: in Black and White, you see the gym leaders making decisions for the region. The decisions are specifically decisions concerning team plasma trying to take over the region, making it likely that the gym leaders have some sort of job protecting the region. If the gym leaders are supposed to decide things before the E4, it explains why Bianca went to get the gym leaders before the E4 during team plasma's invasion: they're supposed to be the first ones to take action. As for the league being part of the state government as opposed to the central, there needs to be evidence that suggests that region's are states instead of countries. Luckily, almost all the proof can be found in the first four games. The first four regions are all based off different parts of Japan, so it's possible that they're all part of the same country. If that's too much of a stretch for you, consider this: Kanto also has Lt. Surge, who has the title "the lightning American". So now that it's canon that America is a place in the Pokemon universe, it's possible to prove that regions are states. Unova is based off New York (the state), and Alola is based off Hawaii, both of which are part of the United States. So if America is a place in the Pokemon world, and there are two regions based off U.S. states, both of which have their own leagues that have authority in the region, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume that the leagues are part of the state government. Feel free to comment any details I'm missing or major holes that need fixing. [link] [comments] |
| What Pokémon do you think is overlooked too much? Posted: 25 Apr 2020 05:54 PM PDT My personal favorite pokémon is Raichu. This comes with many pros and cons... Any game with the option of a pikachu starter makes you keep pikachu the whole time. Any side game with pikachu in it, only has pikachu in it (pichu sometimes). ((Aside from Mystery Dungeon)). Pikachu being the face of the series and a middle evo, screws over its other forms. No Raichu G-Max, No Raichu Mega. Just feels like they're missing the opportunity to just let us evolve that little jerk into a better form. I do appreciate Alolan Raichu. It seemed like we finally were giving Raichu any kind of attention and it was a nice time. I know with kanto starters Squirtle and Bulbasaur fans tend to get shafted because of how popular Charizard is. What are some pokémon you love that won't get the spotlight? [link] [comments] |
| Need ideas for things to keep track of whole I watch the anime Posted: 26 Apr 2020 10:07 AM PDT I started from S1E1 of the anime and I started to keep track of various topics. Which pokemon appear in each episode, how many times team rocket blasts off, battle stats, how many Meowth balloons get popped, things like that. Are there any other things I should keep track of as I watch the show? [link] [comments] |
| Which Pokémon game has the most Pokémon available? Posted: 26 Apr 2020 07:17 AM PDT I've been wondering this for a bit now. And I mean EVERYTHING available. This includes island scans, Pokémon from other regions that can be in the game (i.e Sword and Shield allow Alolan and Kanto starters) Wormholes, etc. I've tried finding things online but all of the posts are outdated. So, what Pokémon game has the most Pokémon? [link] [comments] |
