Cyrus didn't want to destroy reality, just create a world without spirit and emotion. Granted, it's because he's got daddy issues enough to make Silver blush, but otherwise that plot is fairly peak-anime.

Meanwhile, Archie and Maxie wanted to get rid of all of the land and oceans respectively, and almost immediately regretted their actions.

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.
Is it worth it to trade a Victini for a Xerneas? Unless I'm mistaken one is an event pokemon that is re-released every year or so, while the other is impossible to get unless you specifically buy X.

They gave away a Xerneas or two. A shiny one at least earlier this year I think. All depends on whether you feel comfortable doing it. I'd say the Victini is probably more valuable...at least when it comes to rarity. I think it's only been released twice.

Anyone with a copy of X, the Bank, and enough time on their hands can make an arbitrary number of Xerneas.

I feel like event pokemon are pretty rare

but if you're like me and ended up with 5 Victinis you should feel okay with trading them away for something you need to fill or dex or want more

edit: it is pretty lovely that you can't put up event pokemon up for other event pokemon on GTS...

No way. Just find someone with a Xerneas that has more reasonable demands.

I've never had a Victini. I have all the other 5th gen event Pokemon, and now I have a Darkrai and Hoopa, but never a Victini.

missing event Pokemon: Mew, Jirachi, Deoxys, Manaphy, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Diancie, Volcanion

People seem to be desperate for a quadrupedal starter, nevermind the fact that most quadruped Pokémon tend to have awful movepools when compared to their biped brethren.

Its also not really true outside of like, the elemental punches vs. the elemental fangs on some physical pokemon.

Typhlosian has a more garbage movepool than Entei. Salamence has a better movepool than Garchomp (Dragon Dance)...

Yeah, I should have mentioned that it applies more to physical based Pokémon since there are plenty of moves that involve using arms.

I guess it would be a bad time to mention that most of these were available over the past several months? :ohdear:

On the plus side, Volcanion comes out in two days, Keldeo is on Mystery Gift now, and you can also get a Meloetta and Genesect in the upcoming months. The latter three you could probably trade for some of those.

Also, if you're willing to get ORAS, you can catch Deoxys in-game.

I will never get the argument that a living ice cream Pokemon is uninspired, but a Normal/Flying bird is creative.

But I'm sure we've heard that back and forth a million times already, so instead I'll just complain about how there are no good screenshots of Goldenrod City from today's episode of Generations.

In the exact same region, area, gym is a living "snowflake" that comes out more like a featureless hexagon, and the ice type people bitch about is an adorable soft serve. Honestly. :shrug:
