it was trunks

I think this line is mostly filler.
Question. Let's say I'm gonna go hunt legendaries in Wormholes, and wanna synch for natures. If I run into a legendary I didn't bring a syncher for, will it still be there if I run/leave the wormhole without encountering it?

E: Also, I hate to ask, but if there's anyone who may have any extra Marshadow codes, I might love you forever if they're still valid.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Pokemon sizes have always been screwy. Not sure sure if the anime didn't get the notes or just ignored them to make Pokemon a size that makes sense. (I think the anime's depiction of Pokemon has always been the real fun part of it, they're nearly always the most interesting part)

Yeah, spent a bit of time with wiktionary for the porygon one

to be honest "machamp wears swimming trunks" made me laugh far too much and then I just had to do a team. It did start off as a legitimate "can I make an elephant team" but then tree trunks popped into my head, machamp followed, and that was the end of that

was thinking of timburr too but I think that's a plank not a trunk and I already had two tree trunks

Hey there Pokemon thread, I have a very odd question that I was hoping you could help me with!

There is a mini-game in Pokemon that looks like this.


Now... I'm confused about something that's shoved into the recesses of my memory. I've played this mini-game... I've played it a lot and got good at it. However, I don't remember where I played it. "Diamond, Pearl and Platinum" I hear you quickly replying but here's the thing. The only core Pokemon game I've ever played was Red. Other than that, I've played a ton of various spin-off titles but never any other core title.

What other game had this specific mini-game? I'm not talking about weird spinoffs like what Starbound has. It was very specifically this game and I played it specifically to get the plates and fossils. Any help?

That literally only appeared in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. It did not appear in any spin-off. Unless you're remembering a fan-game, you can't have played this if you only played Red.

Fan-game-wise, I know it appears in a very limited fashion in Reborn, I don't know if others have it.

The only fan game I've played in the past decade (that I knew was a fan game, anyway) is AM2R ... and that's a Metriod game sooo, no, not a fan-game thing. It wasn't due to the fact that this shows up in that pokemon game maker engine, either. The only monster collecting games with classic RPG gameplay I've played in the last decade were Shin Megami Tensei games.

I'm having such a Mandela effect moment now.

WAIT... it's not in that pokemon minecraft mod, is it?

So, a random thought occurs.

That sidequest battle with Mom's Meowth vs the Alolan Meowth in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

Can you lose that battle? What happens? I know the Alolan Meowth opens with Fake Out, then if you use Return second turn, you win and stuff happens. But what happens if you go for Thief or Pay Day?

quote:

As you may well be aware, upon looking up "Sylveon" on social media you find LGBT members claiming that Sylveon is actually a trans Pokemon. Most of what I've found is about Sylveon's colors being like the trans flag and because Eevee becomes Sylveon by giving it affection.

Now of course, you might be thinking "who the hell cares?", but you've gotta think about Sylveon and Pokemon, let's jump into action!

Here's our top 5 reasons why Sylveon is not trans.

Some people just can't accept that sylveon is trans.

I don't want to prove them wrong.

I just want both sides to shut the gently caress up about the issue entirely.

This is literally the first time I've even heard the issue and I'm already annoyed by it.

I'm pretty sure I used Pay Day and won the fight, but I don't recall what else happens.

Sylveon is a species. Suggesting that it might "be trans" is like saying that owls might be trans. It is a category error; individuals may be cis or trans, not whole species.

On the other hand, if that makes trans people happy, harms noone, and makes weirdos mad then what's the problem? :shrug:

It’s gay panic. They’re all afraid of somehow being affected by a trans Cute Charm.

Who let this thousand year old crank on the internet and also Sylveon is trans.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


It does however make me think about how Pokémon are perceived by people though. They are supposed to be an entire species, but at the same time they are partially designed as if they are individual characters, like Sonic or Mario. If Sylveon was a real creature, would all of them have bows on their left ear or would some have them on their right ear instead?

I suppose this is where the charm of shinies, mega evolutions and regional variants come from. Pokémon are largely homogeneous so any variants are bound to get noticed.

Trans people saw a cute Pokemon with pride colors that grows with love and affection and thought it would be a fun and supportive meme. That's it; nothing more. :sigh:

Anyways, apparently motion controls aren't mandatory when playing let's go in handheld mode so that makes it slightly less undesirable to play in my eyes, but still pretty unappealing.
