I'm really not a fan of the NPC art. It seems like the last few generations the designs have been getting more and more "look, I'm an anime. Add more gravity defying neon!". Gen 1 seemed almost like the realistic pokmon game with how subdued most of the designs were.

Realistic Pokemon is bad because it leads to thinking too hard about it, and Pokemon breaks down when subjected to actual thought

I'm shaking my head IRL if you don't think that Guzma, his Jojo underling, and the final boss of the game, super-fashionable imperious science queen, aren't all awesome

I wish GameFREAK would let Missingo. come to its family reunion. The whole "not pokemon" theme makes me wish they finally use this to bring out Missingno as an official pokemon. If you capture and pop him in the pokebank it evolves into a pokemon only available via that method.

Based on anime hair DNA, I have concluded that Gladion is Lusamine's son

I have also concluded that there will be a lot of porn of Wicke, probably by the end of today

Looking at that picture. Her diamond jewel on her chest also looks pretty similar to the collar on Type:Null.

Why did the Ace Trainers have whips in gen 1

The outfit is fine, it's just her wearing a Snorunt on her head that is the problem

Kind of like how I couldn't take Colres seriously at all despite his characterization being pretty awesome.

The only one that seems off there to me is Jesse - and she was taken straight from the Anime so it's sort of a moot point, no? Ace trainers had whips cause 10 year olds need to learn their place. That and, if not used to hit animals it's a quick way to get attention when issuing commands just from the sound. Chanellers seem straight from traditional Japan, Bikers from oi oi oi Britain and Beautys are pretty much normal.

In Sun, Gumshoos is the guardian pokemon for the normal Challenge. In Moon its Alolan Raticate.

Also day/night cycle might not be a thing? It was kinda weird how they announced it because it literally said they were displaced by 12 hours.

The Day/Night cycle is a thing. Moon is displaced 12 hours from your 3DS clock.

I literally will be stuck preordering Sun if they don't announce Dawn Balls because Dusk Balls are too good to give up and I'm a goon who never plays during the day.

Z-moves are gonna have to be really good to justify giving up one moveslot and an item on a Pokemon.

Also Aether is totally evil. I mean they even have artwork of their grunts!

There's no champion because there's no league but even if there was she could be both. The games could finally catch up to the manga and have the Elite Four + Champ be evil pieces of poo poo.
