    Does anyone else feel the starter choices are very random?

    I think because at least Samurott is a samurai, decidueye is an archer, which fits ancient Japan. Not sure about cyndaquil

    Getting a Legend?! Search for Suicune, the Guardian Deity of Water!! (1142)

    In terms for a legendary? Kinda yeah. Nothing like the trios or box legendaries. Just kinda there for Pokémon Go promotion.

    Getting a Legend?! Search for Suicune, the Guardian Deity of Water!! (1142)

    In the defense of Ash not catching legends he befriended, he would often gain their trust without the help of a Pokeball, so they wouldn't just simply let Ash catch them after. Here GO caught it in a ball, meaning he could probably reach Suicune easier because it is still technically tamed by...

    I said it years ago and I guess I was correct. Pokemon is on console, and so all the triple A scams are brought along with it. We thought third versions were bad, just keep chucking costs at consumers faces and watch as the easy money flows in. Taking advantage of people who say "its cheap" to...

    Burn with Passion! Get Filled with Intensity! A Full Battle!!! (1085)

    At least mega charizard was shown fighting rayquaza and groudon before, so I can see why greninja lost. But lycanroc won him the league and has been tanky most of this region (ignore his first fight against krookodile because that was just character development over actual battle skill) but he...

    Burn with Passion! Get Filled with Intensity! A Full Battle!!! (1085)

    I honestly dipped after lycanroc fell to stupid braviary. That's like if infernape or charizard fainted to a grass type. Screw you writers.

    Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

    At least some reactions by people not hurt by the forced exp share are not toxic. For me I've never done nuzlocke before, but ev training will be slightly annoying. It just boils down to "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" less options in a game is bad.

    Difference between that example is that gamefreak already had the technology to make grinding easier instead of baby steps. Destiny knot didn't pass along IVs, nor did the everstone have a 100% rate passing natures with breeding in the past. So obviously they were thinking of making competitive...

    Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

    Before college I used to spend many hours in my free time breeding, i think my XY version has at least a couple thousand eggs hatched. I don't really compete in tournaments, but I do battle my friends who are nearly as passionate with competitive as I am. My friends also made me frown upon...

    Especially in regards to the dex cut. They're also going about this all wrong in the competitive aspect. Nerfing the grind to getting competitive pokemon does the opposite, instead of making veterans appreciate the change, it makes them wish the feature was available sooner. "Sorry but because...

    If they word it like "your pokemon's personality remains the same but the stat distribution is different" that would be an acceptable outcome. So a modest pokemon actually has the stats of an adamant one, for example. "Ah my shiny treeko is a brave nature, thankfully I can swap the stats around."

    Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

    Just give us a number of pokemon cut instead of using them as a marketing campaign. 18 gyms in one region has potential, and essentially turning natures into a cosmetic choice is questionable (making the grind to actually obtain what you want easier while also actually taking away some of the...

    The dex being cut is still terrible even months after the reveal. Promotes hacking (are you really gonna breed competitively anymore when there is a chance they don't make it in to the next game) and just makes me indifferent to anything new they introduce. Why get excited?

    Pocket Monsters (2019) Speculation Thread

    In this direction I see the anime not wanting to be weighed down by the game development anymore. If you have a show that focuses on all regions with new stuff sprinkled in, you can work with that instead of being so limited. But also people can't use the excuse of "pokemon games can't be...

    Pokémon Sword and Shield - How will they impact the anime?

    Apparently the writers don't know something called subtlety with GO's name. Really? (Yes I know we have names like red and blue but GO did not earn that in my mind besides making a ton of money.) Also the show did need something new instead of go do gyms and beat the league. But at least have...

    July 7th: SM129 - Brawl! Battle Royal 151!!

    Ash didn't make any significant progress on screen unlike all other seasons. His pokemon were hilariously inconsistent in power they'll either sweep or get one-shot by z moves. He may as well be one of the dumb school students because while they didn't nerf pikachu they definitely nerfed ash...

    A company will listen to the profit they gain or lose. Petitions won't work but not buying the game will. Its frustrating when you don't agree with a game but because people don't care it won't matter in the end. All this outrage and it will still sell. Gaming industry got so bad in the first...

    Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

    The flame war started when on various social media sites called the fan outrage as entitled, whining, crying, and so on. Which of course caused everyone to bark at each other and gamefreak. I think the large part of it is that those complaining have also had enough of the part of the fanbase...

    Cutting content is not justified. When you increase the prices people expect more. If they need more time to develop content that is more at fault with the higher ups but it still falls on gamefreak to meet those expectations. Cutting gimmicks or cutting new pokemon to say 50 and then introduce...

    Pokemon Sword & Shield GENERAL DISCUSSION Thread [Spoilers]

    So really the fact that we had to deal with this before with gen 2 to gen 3 isn't much of an argument. There was much less content in those games so the amount of time and money spent to get everything back was minimal. Here it's different. We live in a completely different technological age and...
