*watches English trailer* That Minior just up and threw a ton of fossils at the Pyukumuku, I love it. Also, I guess Pyukumuku would be a bad Poke to try to one-shot.

Imagine being so bad that one of your checks is false swipe.

Ash ain't a loser. The fact that he loses sometimes makes him a more 2 dimensional protagonist than the vast majority of shounen anime. And last time he lost in the league it was because he was facing some loving legendary farmer who abused gts or something. This year he has his own pseudo legendary, all his Pokemon except Pikachu are fully evolved, he has something stronger than mega evolution, and has defeated multiple legendaries and mega evolved Pokemon.

Brock sucks. Constantly begging every woman he see to gently caress. problematic. The future is now, thanks to science! Clemont is the best male companion, and Bonnie is show MVP.

No I meant two dimensional. Most shounen characters are one dimensional.

Honestly, the boy ranks constantly in at least the top 8 trainers in any given region. He even defeated all the frontier brains and was offered a position. Think of how many trainers in the anime don't even have one gym badge.

Ash is a good trainer, he's just not the best trainer.

The Ash/Alain match is hype as gently caress. I just wish my boy Noivern didn't go down so quickly. But Hawlucha stepped up for his son like a champ. Hawlucha is the loving best, goddamn.

THINKS CON-AIR WAS A GOOD MOVIE

mabels big day posted:

it's only stronger if pyukumuku is KO'd with a good chunk of HP left, but it's effectively much more useful. Aftermath does a flat 25%

Pyukumuku seems like a new type of wall; a wall that you can't hit hard or you'll regret it. A wall that stops (or at least, slows down) wallbreakers.

I love the show and now I'm learning all the japanese pokemon names from it.

It's funny you mention that, because that was my biggest gripe with Origins. Before it was officially dubbed, the sub was done by two different groups or at least two different people within the same translation group. One episode it was Red telling Jolteon to use Thunderbolt and the very next episode would be Satoshi telling Thunders to use 10,000 Volts.

It was absolutely loving asinine and I forgot there were purists like that out there :psyduck:

Without knowing, well, basically anything about it, at the very least it has utility as a suicidal way to stop set up sweepers. Assuming it has enough hp to threaten the ohko

Lightning Rod on fire/ghost marowak is interesting. Lots of immunities, lots of resists, and a couple rough weaknesses.

I know it's unreasonable to expect fansubbers to change things according to my whims, but I do wish they'd just use the localized names, especially for the monsters themselves.

Also it kills me when they use honorifics where stuff like "Professor" is meant to suffice.

Also, I gotta ask: do these Pokemon Leagues have any rules at all? Magic stones that roid up your Pokemon and trainer/monster fusion seems... iffy?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say Pyukumuku has low HP and decent to good defense/special defense. In the japanese trailer it looked like it learned Pain Split, however, which compliments its ability perfectly.

Well mega stones are allowed in the game, I guess it's a little 1%ish that they'd be allowed when only an elite few probably have access. Trainer/monster fusion is brand new and no one has ever done it before in a tournament so there wouldn't be any rules against it. They aren't actually fusing, their souls are syncing up with one another. If Ash jumped in front of Pikachu to tank a hyper beam as he is often wont to do I'm sure that would be a disqualification, but he's staying in his trainer box.

im trying to think of direct checks and can't, LR Alolan Marowak doesn't really push anything out of play...what electric type is afraid of fire or ghost?

i guess rotom normal but lol

being able to swap him in on thunderbolt/whatever is interesting though, he fills a fire/ghost slot instead of a normal ground slot. wonder if he still gets earthquake

so do we know how alolan form works for situations like exeggcute or cubone where you bring one from a previous game and then get them to evolve in sun/moon? would they go alolan too or would the pre-evolved pokemon have to be caught in an alolan region in the first place

if it's the latter they could limit eq from alolan marowak by removing cubone from the eq tm list and only having normal form marowak learn it
