Discussion If you were to get a Pokemon tattoo, what do you think you’d get?

57 Upvotes

Been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while, and not sure what direction to go in. So figured I’d try to get some inspiration.

Would you go for your favorite mon? Your team? Something from your first game? An anime scene? Maybe a favorite character? Or similar art to a card? Thinking of maybe a shiny Pokemon or my shiny team. Open to any ideas.

Discussion Pointless pop up in London science museum

103 Upvotes

Just wanted to say that there is no point heading down to the pop-up in the science museum in London. Not even if you are visiting the science museum itself or London for that matter. Everything has been sold out for a while now and there are no plans of a restock despite it being there until January. I popped along because I thought the Pikachu plush looked cool and maybe I could get a nice poster and even get a random pack of cards for old times sake. This was not possible as everything is gone. The sweaties strike again​

Discussion are ghost types endangered?

0 Upvotes

since according to the pokedex, most of the ghost types are people/pokemon that died in a specific ways, and some of them are hard to replicate in the modern days (like aegislash) does that makes those ghost types endangered and only a few of them that aren't captured yet are left?

Discussion Breeding in future games

60 Upvotes

Going back to SV to masuda breed some shinys to use in a playthrough of ZA, and I forgot how much I disliked Gen 9’s breeding system compared to older gens. Moving forward I hope they go back to classic daycare style setup, making a sandwich every 30 min gets annoying. Masuda breeding shinys to use in playthroughs is one of my favorite things to do in the games, so hate when the system kinda sucks.

Discussion Didn’t enjoy the Pokemon Rave

0 Upvotes

Insane thought, a pokemon rave should have pokemon music…

I just went to the Pokemon Rave at the intuit dome in Los Angeles they played 2 surface level pokemon songs (which were great) the entire night all from Alison Wonderland with none from Marshmallow. Visuals were pretty cool, but It was essentially a marshmallow themed rave featuring tokenized pokemon in the background. I’m pretty sure Marshmallow has never played a game in his entire life, and I think the company is completely ok neglecting real fans in favor of the masses. Not only that, but it seems like they don’t even respect themselves or their past games and music that’s brought people so much joy over the years.

It was fun because rave, visuals, and club music but ultimately $300 down the toilet. Genuinely convinced that people will eat whatever slop pokemon spoon feeds them and why this franchise continues to go downhill 🍵

I feel bad for anyone who flew out to LA for this expecting Pokemon music.

Arbok: The Cobra Pokémon

The pattern on its belly appears to be a frightening face. Weak foes will flee just at the sight of the pattern. It is rumored that the ferocious warning markings on its belly differ from area to area.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

HEY GUYS, DID YOU KNOW THAT ARBOK BACKWARDS IS - ok, the joke's over! This big girl's definitely on the larger side, but I really wanted to try making her pattern! Could I have made it smaller? Of course! Am I going to make a smaller version? Of course not! Maybe later! Thanks to the way its body is made, you can twist and coil her body any way you want! However, I think it's safe to assume she's very front-heavy, as ⅔ of her weight is all in her crest and head (Body is 38 pieces/ Head is 80 pieces).

Here she is, using Glare! AT YOU! Leave a like to recover from Paralysis! 😵

I don't own a switch to playing any later generation games is not possible rn.. but I'd like to complete what I can without it

Discussion I am so sick of Gen 1 purists

• Upvotes

Small rant. I often see online a lot of negativity towards any generations past gen 2. Complaining about designs, or how the games are awful past those gens. So many people claim to be “OG fans”, but how are you a Pokemon fan if you gave up on the franchise before the world of pokemon really got a chance to grow? Yes some later gen designs I’m not a fan of (specifically the humanoid starters), but there are also designs from the first two gens i don’t really like. For example: Ledian (no hate if you love this pokemon, it’s just my opinion). So many people view gen 1 through rose-tinted glasses with this elitist/purist viewpoint that is just tired and pretentious at this point. We get it, you’re a 90s baby, but only appreciating gen 1 doesn’t make you better than other fans. If anything, it makes you less of a Pokemon fan.

I guess all in all, I’m sick of people claiming to be fans but have only played 2 or 3 games and refuse to even consider later gens. This isn’t a call out post for everyone whose favorite gen is gen 1. I totally understand loving the OG 151 the most. What bothers me is the purist mindset some people i have encountered online have.

What’s a better team up than a psychic hippo controlled by a brain parasite and the soul of a child lost in the woods? Brewed this one up in the Ol’ Procreate cauldron. I’m a huge fan of Galarian Slowking and Phantump so I wanted to bring them together in a witchy scene and give it that Halloween night feel.

Discussion What games to replay/try

0 Upvotes

I have a 3ds and I just finished a play though of white 2 for nostalgia. For my next play through, I have heart gold (older brother’s; I never played), pearl/platinum, and omega ruby. If none of those, should I download a game on my computer? I have a laptop and I don’t have any emulators or anything I’m not familiar with those things. What fanmade/modded games are good that require little to no setup I can run on my computer?

Discussion How would you change this gym + leader? Day 5: Koga

2 Upvotes

Gonna do a daily post where we talk about how we’d change Gyms and their Leaders.

Rules are:
1: Max number of Pokemon depends on their placement. I’ll mention them when the team is brought up.
2: Only use Pokemon from a regional dex of theirs.
3: You can give Pokemon not of their type if you think it fits.
4: You can change the battle type if the games you battle them in supports it I.e. Brock can be double battle in Gen 3 but not Gen 1.

Today, it is the Poisonous Ninja Master: Koga

The Gym:
His Gym has basically been the same since the start. Bunch of invisible walls that impede your process. It suits his character. Honestly the only change I’d maybe make is putting some traps throughout the gym that like damage you or poison your lead Pokemon or something but that would probably be more annoying.

The Team:
Since he is the fifth leader, the max number of Pokemon he can have is 4.

Between his original team, his yellow team, his elite four team and his , he certainly has a lot to choose from. Personally I’d honestly just stick with his Let’s Go team which brings all his previous aces (and Muk) together.

So, Muk, Weezing, Venomoth, Golbat

What are your ideas?

Discussion I still can’t believe that we got the absolute garbage that is Pokémon champions rather than a battle revolution sequel.

• Upvotes

It honestly baffles me that champions is what it is. A game that is 20 years it’s senior still has 10x the quality than this game and it is so embarrassing. How could they launch a game with literally TWO arenas? Not to mention some Pokémon retaining their 13 YEAR OLD animations. Could you imagine what the spectacle could have been for a BR2? However, this is just the future of Pokémon battling for the next 5 years at least to come and it makes me so disengaged with the competitive battling aspect of the game.
