4v4 doubles is the best competitive format but i don't think it works very well in single player

Man, on the one hand I was set on Moon for the 12 hour offset thing (I have a 9 to 5 job and a commute, and I kinda hate playing in nighttime settings). On the other, some of these exclusives (Musciqto, Passimian) are making it real hard.

I wonder how many nerds shat themselves laughing over naming their Orangurus 'Harambe'

You can always trade them in and breed them if you want your very own.

You like the genies, you're not allowed to criticize other people's opinions.

Hating something for because it is good is a very contrarian and GBS opinion.

Look at these cool motherfuckers that are definitely not ugly last-minute pallete swap filler legendaries. "Only gained traction because of great stats and movepools," you say? Get outta town. That one dude whose hair is a hammer is so fly, look at that sexy goiter.

Spiked anal beads are a very Cool and Good thing to have coming out of your rear end.

They're really good, all of them. I hope Vikavolt has good stats, because a bug railgun is too cool to pass up.

Stats and movepools are what makes the pokemon.

For the last time, the Fighting-type Eevee evolution will be named Takemeon. This isn't hard, people.

robot roll call: Mar 7, 2006; dance dance dance dance dance to the radio

So that Pokebank page says it won't work with Sun/Moon until January, which kind of sucks, but I guess it lets me focus on all the new guys and Alola forms. It also says it added some sort of Pokedex feature to the bank that draws on your save files from registered games, so that's kind of cool, hopefully they add some actual drat sorting options while they're at it

I'd rather have a bright light ghost called Neoneon. And when all other types have been exhausted a normal evolution (which is just a bigger Eevee) called Ohcomeon.
