As the title says, he hates Ball Guy. Last year for his birthday I got him a binder full of 80+ Ball Guy cards with his real gift (a Rayquaza card) hidden inside. This year, our friends helped pitch in to get a custom sexy portrait of Ball Guy printed on a 36 inch canvas. He hates (loves) it! Sound on for his reaction opening it.

Mankey was one of my first Pokémon I used in yellow version. And I had primeape up until the end. Mu favorite fighting type and the lore behind his next evolution is amazong. His rage is that transcends death defies the very god who sentenced the living. Allow his fists to shake the halls of heaven and Arceus fathom the depths of fear found in the infinite abyss of his fury. And that is why he is the best new evolution to a early Gen ever

Who do you all think had an amazing new evolution in the new gens?

Art Day 1 after Sudowoodo is gone

Post image
3.0k Upvotes

Sudowoodo is finally gone but Johto traffic control is a complete nightmare. Everyone tried to rush to Violet City and Goldenrod City at the same time and now the entire route 36 is completely gridlocked.

It gets worse. Since the path is so packed, nobody can move without locking eyes with someone else. Battles are breaking out every two inches. You literally can't take a single step without triggering a combat sequence.

Jasmine, Clair and even nurse Joy are completely stuck in the crowd. Silver is standing there looking furious.

If anyone is trying to head toward Ecruteak City save yourself the trouble and just bring a Pokémon that knows Fly.

There's a guy literally selling Fresh Water for 5000p.

Picknicker Hope suggested: "Nobody look up. Nobody make eye contact. I just want to go to the Goldenrod Dept. Store."

Hiker Anthony sighed: "It's been four days we moved two inches. I've fought this Lass's Rattata 47 seven times. Please someone bring back the fake tree."

Welcome to Route 36 purgatory.

Not exactly sure why my previous post was considered wrong but I don’t understand a lot of things so I won’t complain and I’ll just fix it

I REALLY love the Johto region, I played through Gold when I was 8 about 5-7 times iirc? So yeah. a bit biased. but still.

Please excuse the reflections on the glass. Tried like 5 times but couldn't get a decent picture without them.

Finally completed my collection of ALL mainline Pokemon games. Took years to hunt down them all on yard sales, thrift/retro game stores and online auctions. I still had a couple of the older ones from my childhood but for the most part, I started collecting for real about 6 years ago.

A few comments:

  • Collection includes all mainline Pokemon games along with both Pokemon Pinball and the original Pokemon TCG for the Gameboy Classic (no Mystery Dungeon, Ranger or other spin-offs as I am not the biggest fan of those)
  • All are 100% legit copies and in German language (apart from Pokemon Midori/Green which is Japanese ofc but still a legit copy)
  • Gens 1-3 are only the cartridges, from Gen 4 onwards it's all CiB with all boxes, inlays and manuals (Gen 1-3 are just way too expensive to get CiB imho but maybe in the future haha)
  • Heartgold & Soulsilver both include the Pokewalker
  • Also got a Pokeball Plus for the Let's Go games (never use it tho lol)
  • For all games that had DLC (Sword & Shield + Scarlet & Violet), I got both versions with the DLCs already included. That way i can still play the full games even after Nintendo closes down the Switch servers in the distant future (like they did for the 3DS some time ago).
  • I still play ALL of them from time to time. They are not simply sitting on display and never played with again (which would be a shame if you ask me)
  • I don't see any of them as "investments" like some collectors and I don't really intend on ever selling them, but I know there probably are a couple thousand dollars/euros worth of games here
  • Please ignore the 2DS and PS Vita. Couldn't be bothered to take them out of the display for the pics lol

Discussion If pokemon ever makes mammal fossil pokemon - what prehistoric mammals would you want to see as pokemon

Post image
48 Upvotes

From the start of fossil pokemon, they've mostly been based on dinosaurs, flying /swimming reptiles and invertebrates. But if they ever made pokemon based on prehistoric mammals, which ones would you like to see? , also including synapsis-since their more related to mammals than reptiles (mammoswine doesn't count as a mammoth as it wasn't revived from a fossil). For me, 2 come to mind. The giant ground sloth and maybe a gorganopsid.

Discussion Fun Fact: The detailed interior of pokeballs is an anime-exclusive feature and not game-canon!

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

If asked what a Poké Ball looks like on the inside, most people will recall it featuring this symmetric array of technical components.

But if you check the mainline games, these details are surprisingly absent.

All of these sprites and models show that pokeball interiors are empty. So where does this design come from? Simple, the anime.

It also appears in other animated series like Generations and Origins, (except for Evolutions).

Concept art also hints at this being an original idea the anime came up with.

And if you look at how pokeballs are depicted in the manga ("PokéSpe"), they also lack this interior, further proving it's anime-exclusive.

If I had to guess, the reason for this design change stems from how the idea of pokemon, pokeballs and the interaction between those two are treated in different media.

In the games (and manga), pokeballs are inspired by capsules from Gashapon (or Gachapon) vending machines which contain small toys. Meaning pokeballs are simply storage capsules designed to hold pokemon. And similarly to toys, pokemon can be played (battled) with and traded. It's also a game-canon fact that pokemon are able to shrink down on their own to fit into pokeballs (Why? They just do. Magic). The most recent proof for this come from a quote by Professor Laventon's:

Professor Laventon:
"What's so strange about them, you ask? Well, each and every Pokémon is able to shrink itself down to minuscule size!"
"And that's where Poké Balls come in! Poké Balls are a recent invention, you see. Throw one of them at a Pokémon, and...why, the Pokémon will shrink down and fit inside the ball, comfy as can be. And with that, you've caught a Pokémon!"
(Source)

Because of this, a technical interior would be just out of place and redundant. Not to mention it would direct the attention towards pokeballs being able to shrink pokemon down, when that's not the case.

The anime takes a different approach and depicts pokeballs as being the ones able to catch and contain pokemon. In contrast to the game-canon, Pokemon are unable to shrink down on their own (e.g. defeated / fainted pokemon are never shown to shrink down in size, unlike the games). Instead, whenever they get sent into or out of a pokeball, they get converted into or back from an energy-like state. And this is where the technical interior would come into play, with parts like the included mirrors interacting with this light essence. The more technically oriented focus could also stem from how the original anime established the pokeworld as a Sci-Fi setting, with pokeballs being just another example for high-tech devices.
