the surf ninjas are great, and legit a good way to make a water route more memorable than 'it is a water route with swimmers who use fish'. it's a stupid idea but it's a fun stupid idea and they poke it with the exact amount of frequency to make sure it doesn't overstay its welcome. one encounter to suddenly bring the idea, one to establish 'yes, this is a thing that happens here', one to conclude the concept, and then they just go away.

they don't do surfers enough anyway. have they...have they EVER done surfers on water routes? it seems so obvious and yet i can't recall them, just swimmers.

...they do have surfers in Alola right? surely they have surfboarding in the region based on the place that like invented the sport

Nope, still just swimmers/triathletes and divers. The only surfer is Brawly and that's just a thing he does rather than really come into anything; also it might be anime only.

We do have skiiers and snowboarders, however.

knowing what the Uranium evolution looks like, it shows that the game creator had a strong disagreement with Nintendo on this one

I just looked it up, and at least the idea seems fine? I always thought it seemed like that line was a subtle poke in that direction anyway. Ugly-rear end sprite though.

Yes, Theo is years younger than the player. He is a whiny, brat of a child, because he is a literal elementary schooler.

FWIW there are Ace Trainers in ORAS using surf right before Ever Grande City? Not exactly surfboards though.

See I kind of have sympathy for Energizate cause it's obvious that what happened is someone came up with "Energize" as the perfect name then was wracked with guilt over it not ending in -ate.

There's no goddamn excuse for Atomizate when Radiate would have worked fine.

Or Irradiate, they're even real words that kind of describe what the ability does.

To be fair - At least to Energizate, since Irradiate would obviously work much better for the other one - Aerilate isn't a word either.

Aerilate is weird because "aerate" already exists and could actually work.

After bouncing off X hard due to it's neverending stream of old 'mons and dripfeeding new ones at a rate of 1/route, I was pleasantly surprised by Sage demo #1.

this is pretty cool to hear, as long as it's true and all. i knew they were aiming for a beefy demo the next time they released something so it'll be neat if that actually happens

I get this line of thought, but that was actually a selling point for me. The pokedex is goddamn GINORMOUS at this point and I liked the diversity that Kalos offered.

I hope it'll survive a takedown and not cause the whole game to get C&Ded.

If they can fix the problems that the old Sage demo had, I'll definitely be excited for the full release.

as i've said before, given where the game started out i dunno if we'll be hurting for a full copy of the game even if it gets taken down by nintendo. sure will be a lot of opportunities for the game to 'fall off the back of a truck' at the hands of someone leaking it to the public.

Ah yes, now there's what I'd consider the definitive example of a fangame.

The amount of work and detail that went into that game is insane and was a blast to play through.

A pokémon fangame with that amount of effort put into it would be legendary.

Here we go. Nucleon is the Tandor pokemon I would consider the single strongest one of them all. Even in the parts of the game where you're fighting nothing but other Nuclear types, Nucleon *can* learn Shadow Ball... if you remember to do so before it evolves. It can't use the TM anymore after it evolves.

Hyper Voice/Hyper Beam/Shadow Ball/Quick Attack can carry you singlehandedly.
