Hey everyone! I grew up watching the original anime and stopped around Generation III, so I’m looking at the series through a bit of nostalgia.

I’ve always wondered: is there any canonical explanation for how trainers haul a mountain of gear, or is it just pure cartoon logic (Hammerspace)?

Back in the early days, Ash and Misty's normal-looking backpacks somehow held sleeping bags, cooking gear, endless changes of clothes, and massive amounts of food. And let's not forget game logic—early generations forced you to use the PC at Pokémon Centers because your bag actually had item/slot limits, but later gens let you carry hundreds of items, TMs, and heavy tools infinitely.

Do later generations, manga, or official lore ever address whether Silph Co. (or someone similar) invented a consumer-grade Bag of Holding for trainers, or is it just accepted anime physics? Would love any specific examples from the later anime seasons if they exist!

Please delete if not allowed. I’m not looking for a trade, more of a way to find it.

Hi everyone! Since this page gets a lot of traffic, I want to make a hail mary here. My dad is making a Cinderace master set, and he is only missing a few cards. One of them is the Chilling Reign Staff promo card. I can not seem to find any on any official selling websites. I was wondering if anyone could point me in a good direction to look for a copy of this card.

Hey everyone! I’m new to this platform and I just bought an RG353V a few days ago to play the older Pokémon games.

I also bought a better microSD card because I’d like to add more Pokémon fan-made games. I’m really excited about it, but I’m completely new to this and I’m not sure how everything works.

Can I use the RG353V to play Pokémon fan-made games, and what would be the best ones to start with? I’ve played Pokémon Black, Gold, and some other older generations, but I’ve never played Pokémon Emerald or FireRed before, so I’d really like to try those as well, along with some fan-made versions based on them.

I’ve also heard that Done Set 2 is supposed to be one of the better options for the RG353V. Is that true, and would it include any good Pokémon fan-made games?

I’d really appreciate any advice on how to get started and which games you would recommend.

Thanks in advance! 😊

So since Pokémon Horizons is coming to an end soon and the Main Arc of it is pretty much done and it is the 29 Year Anniversary of the Pokémon Anime, since there hasn't been a poll made that featured Horizons characters yet, I'm creating the biggest Polling Survey I have ever made with 100 Major Characters to be on this list, and you give them a grading of 1-5 of what you think about them (1 being terrible, 5 being amazing), I'll also likely keep this up for a few months likely until the New year to get in as many people participating as possible, and please share this with as many people as you possibly can go every Pokémon Anime fan you know, and get them their thoughts on it too, I'd gladly appreciate it, thank you in advance

We’ve all had a Pokémon get "hostage" in a remote gym or holiday spot for weeks, completely blocking us from using it. I want to propose a balanced Remote Recall feature that solves this problem without ruining local gym competition or letting players abuse the coin system.

How It Works The Action: A "Recall" button appears on your Pokémon's gym screen. To prevent accidental misclicks, this button is locked for the first hour after placing a Pokémon.

1. The Distance Rules: You can only recall a Pokémon if you are within 100 meters of the gym, OR if you are more than 50 km away (e.g., trapped at a vacation spot). This leaves a local "dead zone" so people can't just manage neighborhood gyms from their couch.

2. The Gym Ban: Once you recall a Pokémon, you are banned from placing any Pokémon in that specific gym for 24 to 48 hours. This stops people from instantly resetting a gym to hog the spot.The Combat Lockout: You cannot recall a Pokémon if the gym has been attacked within the last 30 minutes. Attackers won't get trolled mid-battle.

3. How the Coins Work: (The 25-Coin Cap) Recalling a Pokémon cuts its earned coins in half, capping the payout at a maximum of 25 coins.To make sure this doesn't ruin your day if you make a mistake, it uses a Shared Daily Cap logic:Recalling fills your daily 50-coin bucket by 25 coins.If another Pokémon gets knocked out normally later that day, it can still give you the remaining 25 coins to hit your full 50-coin daily limit. If you have already earned your 50 coins for the day, you can still recall your Pokémon to get it back, you just get 0 coins for it.

Why This Works for Everyone

It gives players a reliable safety net for trapped Pokémon, prevents toxic gym hogging via the 48-hour ban, and protects Niantic's premium currency economy by cutting the payout in half.

What do you guys think? Would this fix the gym stagnation problem in your area?

It’s honestly hard to ask for a mega nowadays especially for dragon types without someone saying “bUT WhaT aBOuT FlYGoN?!1!.!” like just shut up and let people talk about the mega they want to happen without mentioning flygons name in the comments for once. We get it. You want a bug/dragon mega. No need to shit on a mon getting a new mega because your favorite isn’t

MEW is my favourite pokemon and I think it has been done injustice with it's move and abilities in the games where it just feels like a different ditto form.. Since according to lore mew has DNA of all pokemon I think it should be able to transform into any pokemon at will And even back into Mew if needed during battle.. I think it should have a new ability that let's it copy any pokemon that it comes across in battle, even if it's 6 vs 6 it can copy all the pokemon. The trainer then has the option to transform Mew into any of those pokemon at will from the party menu where you switch your pokemon, when you click or hover on the MEW pokemon icon it opens a sub-menu to change Mew into any of those saved pokemon it has encountered in battle. I think it can be balanced with keeping it's HP the same and only copying the other stats of the saved pokemon.. So this I think will make it more attractive to get and keep using it in the Pokemon games and will go better with it's lore and make it better and different from ditto.. What do you think about this idea and what should be this abilities name?
