When does Slandit evolve?

I caught a Growlithe quite early on, fully intending to box him as soon as I had a replacement fire-type because I'm not really into Arcanine. I could not find a female Salandit before I gave up and the only other fire type I have encountered is Magby. Arcanine is now by far my MVP and it will be hard to get rid of him because while I still want to replace him with something more interesting, he keeps doing cute things in battle like asking to be petted and remembering when we first met. I don't even dote on him in Refresh other than to use it for the free poison/paralyze/burn healing!

It's a ghost so you can't grab onto it. Otherwise all of those fighting type grabs would work.

Decidueye is specifically based of a species of flightless owl that was native to Hawaii. It's extinct now, hence the Ghost typing.

Yeah, those ghosts aren't dicks though. Look at Dartix's hair flips and then try to tell me it wouldn't go intangible mid-flight and laugh.

so is Pokemon Generations ever gonna make good on its "untold stories" promise or is it all just gonna be stuff from the games but also the game protags may or may not be there with maybe a few side things of absolutely no consequence?

Stuff like Charon's childhood with Rotom, Cyrus's backstory, or finding out who the hell Aster was would be more interesting. But no, it's just retreads of the stuff we already know, with the rare instance of "Courtney has a pointless vision". Cheryl's was the most interesting because it wasn't a pointless retread.

Generations is just youtube garbo to get the weak westerners excited for the new pokemon by giving "adult" pokemon with death. Sometimes a good short comes out of this.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Generations is just youtube garbo to get the weak westerners excited for the new pokemon by giving "adult" pokemon with death. Sometimes a good short comes out of this. ... what? There's no 'adult pokemon with death' stuff? The closest thing to that, Cyrus in the Distortion World, is literally an event that happens almost shot for shot in the game. Also here's the version exclusives for anyone wondering Sun: Solgaleo, UB02-Absorption, UB04-Blade, Lycanroc Midday, Turtonator, Passimian, A-Ninetales, Garchomp, Goodra, Rampardos, Carracosta, Braviary, Whimsicott. Moon: Lunala, UB02-Beauty, UB04-Blaster, Lycanroc Midnight, Drampa, Oranguru, A-Sandslash, Metagross, Flygon, Bastiodon, Archeops, Mandibuzz, Lilligant. Confirmed that Sun gets Rampardos/Carracosta and Moon gets Bastiodon/Archeops as fossils. Zore fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Nov 11, 2016 |

I really enjoyed that Generations short. For me the strongest ones have been the Giovanni's Gym and the Diamond/Pearl teamup characters. Every legendary episode just makes me roll my eyes. The Ruby Sapphire ones especially.

Pre-ordered Moon on amazon prime, and its saying that it doesn't have a delivery estimate yet. Does that mean I won't be getting this on release date?

The casual fan is just going to think he's out there still training to bring back Team Rocket (completely ignoring the ~20 year time gap)
