| Something insane just happened Posted: 09 May 2020 08:12 PM PDT I just found my Pokémon Diamond game that hasn't been touched since 2013. After cleaning it and finally getting it to work, I almost cried when I saw my old team, waiting there for me. I walked around a bit, battled (and decimated) a few wild Pokémon, and went back to the Pokecenter to heal them before saving. The game is now in its case in a locked safe in my room, and I'm gonna go have the data from the cartridge saved to a flash drive or a new cartridge after quarantine ends. I'm so happy I decided to deep clean my room :) [link] [comments] | |||||||||
| Posted: 10 May 2020 06:06 AM PDT So, before all this quarantine stuff happened my brother heard a playground rumor for sword and shield. If you hold x while fighting an obstagoon it automatically becomes shiny? Apparently some kid on his bus said it. Please take this as proof that a kid who has limited access to the internet can still have there fair share of rumors. [link] [comments] | |||||||||

| Unpopular opinion: kanto in HGSS is poorly executed Posted: 10 May 2020 08:48 AM PDT Now, g/s/c and HGSS are my favorite games in the series, I've been playing since yellow, and the johto region is incredible, has my favourite trio of starters, and the game allows you to go to another region. Except, the region is done terribly: you immediately have access to every city and gym leader straight away, and this wouldn't be a problem, but there is zero reason or motivation to fight any of the regular trainers in between. As soon as I get there i stomp surge, then power my way as quick as possible to the other cities (because why not?) So I have everything unlocked; due to there being no incentive to verse the other trainers. You can beat all 8 gyms in kanto with your current pokemon fresh from the elite four. Beating lance is the hardest challenge by far. And that's only due to the massive power curve at the elite 4, and all of team rocket in goldenrod having level 17 pokemon when you're on level 35+. Even the wild pokemon in kanto are under leveled. they moved suicune here for story reasons, which would be fine, but he is level 40 and is more inconvenient to encounter than every city combined. And then red has level 88 pokemon, its awesome that he is so high, and its completely epic to verse him. But I don't want to waste 20 hours versing all the level 40 trainers in kanto at this point. Kanto should of continued the power scale throughout every gym, not forcing you down a clear path, but having trainers in different areas of different power levels to encourage the best way to go. While still giving freedom. Building up to blue with high level 70 pokemon. Instead its just a bunch of time wasting trainers, with no benefit or encouragement to verse them (other then more experience for versing red). Pretty much equal level gym leaders, weak wild pokemon, in a region the is extremely quick if you dont force yourself to battle every trainer when you dont need to. I'm the type of guy the battles every trainer on every route in every pokemon game, but I hate the thought of doing it in HGSS kanto. Kanto just isnt fun to me. I cant even bring myself to verse red anymore, the thought of grinding 30+ levels on 6 pokemon for 1 battle is just tedious. Still give the game a 10/10, Kanto is a bonus on top of a perfect region.

| I like that all generations were unique Posted: 10 May 2020 08:01 AM PDT Unpopular opinion: I think features unique to a generation should stay there. trainer rematches in g/s/c contests in r /s/e costum pokeballs d/p/pt following pokemon in hg/ss tripple and rotation battles in bw sky battles and mega evolution in x/y sos encounters and z-moves in s/m max-raid battles and dynamaxing in sw/sh pokemon games are already similar enough. these kind of little things make every game different in little but effective ways. what are your thoughts on this?

| Posted: 10 May 2020 11:21 AM PDT Game Freak has been using Kanto for nostalgia bait since 2013, and there is nothing inherently wrong with nostalgia baiting, it's that they have been using Kanto for years now. Most of the people who played Red and Blue and Gold and Silver as a kid are done with video games, and a good amount of people who played Ruby and Sapphire as a kid are still around.

| Are the games getting less re-playable? Posted: 09 May 2020 01:47 PM PDT My first games were Sapphire and Crystal, and I picked up LeafGreen and Emerald when they came out, and I replayed them constantly and still go back to Emerald and Crystal fairly often. I enjoyed Pearl when it came out, and went through Platinum a fair few times, same with SoulSilver. I played through Black and Black 2 two or three times apiece, I enjoyed the story and Unova was nice, but the charm wasn't quite there for me. I bought X and Y, intending for one to hold my mons and the other for replaying, nuzlockes and the like, but after beating X the charm was gone, and through the years I've never completed a second playthrough. I still liked most of the Pokemon designs and enjoy battling, but something prevented my interest from taking hold. Alpha Sapphire was great fun, seeing Hoenn in full 3D and getting new megas and all the new features in the first region I fully beat was really awesome, but after I beat it that was really it. Hunted a few legends, got disappointed by the lack of the Battle Frontier, and went to play other games. I really liked Sun, and Ultra Sun was just different enough to hold my attention. I thought they were better than X and Y, and once I got going I played each one in most of my free time until they were done... but once I moved all my Pokemon into US and tried playing Sun again, the charm was lost, the game felt tedious, and I went back to replaying Emerald and Crystal and sometimes Gale of Darkness for my Pokemon fix. I've replayed Explorers of Sky itself more times than I played gens five through seven, period. I still love the series, been playing it for seventeen years, and I already had a Switch (how good is Breath of the Wild?) so I went ahead and got Shield - the Pokedex issue didn't bother me too much, I try to use new mons for my first run through anyway and I'm not too bothered by not being able to send up old Pokemon, so why not? I really liked Shield, played through the story, enjoyed dynamax well enough, though I don't like most of the starters I enjoyed what's available and it's still Pokemon, so it's still fun. So all the rambling boils down to this: I still enjoy Pokemon, don't feel I've grown out of it all all, I end up replaying older games fairly often and I like playing the new ones when they come out... so why is the idea of going for another playthrough so unappealing? Ultimately, I think that in the new games there's too much dialogue (Silver and Wally didn't speak nearly as much as Hau and Hop, or god forbid the quartet of 'friends' in X/Y, yet they were more interesting to me by far), battles take way too long (everything just seems to craaawl, and I don't think that's a fault of the 3D graphics, since I've played Colosseum and XD plenty and those battles seemed plenty fast to me), and that, to me, kills replayability. Saw a few conversations about people's favorite generations, which is what prompted this. If you agree, what do you think could alleviate this in the future? If you disagree, what do you enjoy about replaying the 3DS and Switch titles? TL;DR: Old Pokemon games are fun and I can pick them up and play them over and over. New Pokemon games are also fun, but replaying them feels really tedious. Thoughts? [link] [comments] | |||||||||

| Posted: 09 May 2020 06:42 PM PDT So I've just been playing Pokémon colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for the first time and the thing about these games that stand out to me the most is how good the battle animations for the Pokémon are. First of all, the idle animations are fantastic. In newer games the Pokémon mostly just stands around, but in the GameCube games idle animations really bring out the Pokémon's character. For example in colosseum Hariyama is continuously doing the sumo step for an idle animation, and then there is Ursaring who swings its arms back and forth. In the newer games these Pokémon's idle animations are non-existent and they just stand there. These are just 2 examples. Then there are the animations for when a Pokémon gets hit. Each Pokémon reacts differently and acts as if the move they got hit by actually had a big impact and dealt damage. My favorite has to be Lotad, where it basically gets flung backwards and stumbles before recovering and walking forward again. In new games, no matter how big the attack, the animation for getting hit just looks like the Pokémon was lightly slapped. Now the battle animations, nearly every Pokémon has a different animation for using a body attack, beam attack, or an attack involving a punch or kick. In newer games every Pokémon (with only a few exceptions) only has 2 attacking animations. One for physical attacks, and one for special attacks. Now I know that nowadays it would be more difficult to do this cause there are so many Pokémon, and that larger animations will make battles take longer, but it's honestly worth it because it makes every Pokémon seem that much more unique. One last thing, the old console games actually get wailord's size correct. And blastoise actually shoots hydro pump out of its cannons. So there is more attention to fine detail. Edit: Literally just noticed one more amazing thing. In the old console games Lunatone's idle animation is it continuously moving in a circle, just like how the moon revolves around the earth in a circle. And solrock's idle animation is it moving up and down, just like how the sun rises and sets from our point of view. [link] [comments] | |||||||||

| If sun and moon/Ultra sun and moon had gym leaders instead of trials Posted: 10 May 2020 10:44 AM PDT I was bored, so i thought of what if Alola had gym leaders... Gym 1: Normal type Rattata(Alolan) Gumshoos Gym 2: Fighting Type Jangmo-o Crabwraler Stuffful Gym 3: Rock Type Kabutops Sudowoodo Lycanroc(Day) Gym 4: Electric Type Raichu(Alola) Golem(Alola) Vikavolt Gym 5: Ghost Type Dhelmise Oricorio(Sensu style) Mimikyu Gym 6: Dark Type Raticate Muk(Alola) Incineroar Persian(Alola) Gym 7: Dragon Type Drampa Tortonator Exxecgutor(Alola) Kommo-o Gym 8: Fairy Type Shiinotic Ninetales(Alola) Mimikyu Comfey Ribombee I only ended up repeating 1 pokemon, hope everyone likes it! Note, i decided not to include the starter trio types, because we have those 3 as the first 3 gyms in Galar as well, and it makes the gyms more interesting and different. Also note, i tried to use only Alola pokemon, as I think it's more interesting if they use new pokemon from that generation. [link] [comments] | |||||||||

| Hey Guys, I just got my first shiny Posted: 10 May 2020 03:39 AM PDT Hello. I havent been a pokemon fan long, only started recently after picking up sword. I also have just begun trading. I'm really only using the wonder box to trade for duplicates. Today I woke up to discover that one of my pokemon has been traded for a shiny rotom. This is my first shiny and I'm pretty excited to use him after seeing his typing and ability. Just wanted to share the excitement. Bye [link] [comments] | |||||||||
| Do you think GF will up their game with the next main series title? Posted: 10 May 2020 08:36 AM PDT I was so disappointed with SwSh and how GF handled it. Bad graphics, dexit, lies about models and generally half-product. I can understand cutting the dex, but there was so much wasted potential... Do you think this will change with the next game? I know that now they will try to milk that DLC idea and I'm not mad, but they can try to work harder on the new one because of that. Also what are your ideas that can be implemented in future? I am mostly interested in the open world. [link] [comments] | |||||||||

| A Very Happy 1st Birthday to Pokémon Detective Pikachu, my favourite video game movie of all time Posted: 10 May 2020 10:16 AM PDT The film starred Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu Justice Smith as Tim Goodman Kathryn Newton as Lucy Stevens and Bill Nighy as Howard Clifford Quotes: "Maybe she can tell us about the long-term psychological effects of being strapped to a baby seat... next to a bomb!" "Oh, that's a twist. That is very twisty." Trivia: The day before the film's theatrical release, the entire movie was "leaked" onto YouTube. In reality, clicking this video will play a minute of the film, before cutting to a loop of Pikachu dancing for an hour and forty five minutes (and I watched it). The Pokémon Company tried to keep Mr. Mime from appearing in the movie because they thought he wouldn't come out well in live-action. Rob Letterman ended up having to pitch the whole idea personally to TPC's president to cajole them into letting him appear. A sequel is in the early stages of development at Legendary as the studio is looking to move forward with a cinematic world for the Pokémon franchise. As the production of Detective Pikachu progressed, The Pokémon Company became more open to the idea of trademark props and characters being used in cinematic fashion, prompting ideas for a larger world to unfold on the big screen (I personally hope it's a Pokemon Red and Blue film). If there's anything I should add to the post tell me in the comments, [link] [comments] | |||||||||
| Toxineon (Poison Eeveelution) by me Posted: 09 May 2020 11:46 PM PDT Poison Eeveelution by me. I wanted to base it off a Slow Loris, since it's one of very few poisonous mammals, but I couldn't find a way to fit its features into the Eeveelution theme. Eyes were too round, ears were too round and small also it's paws have opposable thumbs so that didn't work out. I instead decided to base its color themes off a strawberry dart frog and another design off the blue dart frog. I gave it a scorpion tail so that it'd have elements of poisonous and venomous animals, also poison inflating sacs for that neck thing most eeveelutions have. [link] [comments] | |||||||||
| Posted: 10 May 2020 09:07 AM PDT So yeah, i know it will take time before Gen9 actually comes to life, and we are going to get a remake in the meanwhile, but I want to hear what other people would like for the Gen9 game. Not only starters or region, also some cool plot speculation, and some lore for the "War". I really look foward to Gen9, IMO Gen8 saved the gameplay only with the DLC announcement. Anyway, here you go, tell me your wishes :) [link] [comments] | |||||||||
| When will getting so many generations of Pokémon start to make it just too much? Posted: 10 May 2020 09:39 AM PDT I love playing the new games and generations as they come out. I've been a big Pokémon fan since her first came out. But I wonder when there will just be like, too many Pokémon. Is that possible? As much as I love exploring new regions and finding new Pokémon I just worry that it will eventually love its charm. [link] [comments] | |||||||||
| Which starter should I choose? Posted: 10 May 2020 01:55 AM PDT This is for a pokemon diamond playthrough as it is a game I don't remember playing. I would like some other opinions on which starter I should choose for the game. This is for a regular run of the game.i personally would like to use piplup as it has an interesting final typing and I haven't used it before. All feed back is appreciated. Thank you.

| I don't understand the destiny knot in pokemon sword and shield Posted: 10 May 2020 06:14 AM PDT So I have a 6 IV ditto and a 5 IV cottonee whose imperfect stat is Sp. Def and I keep getting cottonee with two imperfect IVs like Speed and Attack. I double checked three times to make sure I was right about the IVs and also that I did give ditto the everstone so I don't understand why it still does this, doesn't it take 5 IVs from each parent? Any help would be really appreciated. Edit: aight my bad, I wasn't wearing my glasses and apparently speed was also imperfect, sorry for being a dumbass, go back to your day [link] [comments] |
