Kurieg posted:For Tornadus/Thundurus: I was going to do the Fire/Rock/Fighting one but honestly considering how much I like that other franchise, why the hell not? My favourite Digimon is Justimon. As you may know, Justimon's main inspiration is Kamen Rider, a toku series that airs on Super Hero Time. I happen to quite enjoy Kamen Rider, even if some of them unambiguously suck and I genuinely wonder why I bothered watching them (for the uninitiated: do not watch Wizard or Ghost). Justimon is specifically based on the fourth Kamen Rider, Riderman, but since my KR knowledge does not extend to anything older than J, I can't genuinely say that affected my love for it in any way. Rather, what did was its design: armoured from head to toe, giant arm with three different forms, and the scarf, flowing in the wind. Truly a hero! I love heroic designs, and Justimon just hit all the right notes for me. It also helped that Justimon appears in Digimon Tamers, the Best Digimon Season, and one of my most remembered scenes in Tamers has him as protagonist - though I remember this scene less because of anything heroic about it, and more because it's blatantly sexual in nature and rewatching Tamers as an adult I couldn't contain my amusement at that kind of scene appearing in a show for children. Let me describe it: final boss time, Justimon and Sakuyamon are facing the enemy, but it's not enough. Sakuyamon sends her power to Justimon, enhancing his sword, and then he cuts the enemy in half. Sounds just fine, right? No - Sakuyamon's power transfer has her shatter all her armour (she still has a black suit below, but it's really obvious what they were going for, especially since...) and then Justimon's energy sword massively increases in size. Yeah. Ignore that Sakuyamon is half-furry, half-preteen. That makes it go from hilarious to intensely creepy. Also ignore that Justimon is

Kurieg posted:What's the dumbest pokemon anime episode plot that you still unironically enjoyed? Going for the Genies Not sure if it was dumb enough, but Pokemon XY, episode 21, apparently, focuses on Serena's Fennekin and the Pokevision thing. I don't think I ever really used it back in Pokemon XY, so I really didn't care for this episode. There was Fennekin and Serena just talking about random things and showing off stuff like cooking and playing outside and everything, even had Serena dressing up as a Fennekin. Thing I didn't like much about this episode was that Fennekin was acting like a real stuck-up princess, which is a plot point for the story because when Team Rocket inevitably comes in and kidnaps it and some of the other mons, it doesn't want to escape by running through a puddle of mud, of all things. It gets over its fear of getting dirty at the end, but it's super dumb overall that this had to be the focus of the episode. I still enjoyed how Clemont was a stuttering mess in front of the camera at the beginning of the episode, though, because I can definitely relate to him. And the reason why I really do enjoy this episode is that, even if it was just talking about Fennekin getting dirty as one of its worst nightmares, it was kind of a necessary step for Serena and her Pokemon's arc. It helped them get comfortable with each other, so that when it was Serena's turn to have her nightmare come true when Pokemon Showcases started, Fennekin was there for her. I still think the whole premise of Pokevisions and Fennekin afraid of getting dirty were pretty dumb, but I really did enjoy Serena in the XY/Z anime, so even though this episode's a pass for me, it's still one that I know is pretty drat necessary for Serena's character arc as a whole. And, to be honest, with how good the XY/Z anime was in production, probably wouldn't mind watching this episode just for that.

Kurieg posted:[*]What's your favorite dual typed pokemon and why do you like that pairing of types? So this question is worded in a way I could have two answers. My fav dual type is Mimikyu, but tbh it's typing doesn't really reflect ghost very well (I personally think it should be dark/fairy). So cause of that, I'm gonna talk about alolan ninetales, whose typing is actually really well done and i think reflects it's design super well (also it's easily my favorite ice type so a favorite in a way). It, much like regular ninetales, is based off the japanese fox myths, which I think is super well reflected as a fairy, since like fairies it's considered a trickster rather then actively malicious (well in some legends, i mean you know how mythology is it's got a billion different things it could be). Now a mythological element associated with foxes is that as they age their fur turns white, which is obviously seen in regular ninetails. But a super cool (imo) twist they do with alolan is that they justify the white fur by saying it's an ice type. The same myth element creates two pretty different results! I like that duality and it's a nice element of how region specific typing could be allowed to evolve moving forward (though it's probably gonna be dropped bc gamefreak loves to drop cool stuff) Anyway that's my way to many words about alolan ninetails, i'd like a reshiram code if possible.I promise to never put this much effort in a post again

Also I have no idea if Nintendo Australia or the EB games stores are doing a Zeraora thing here, since neither of them have said anything about it, so if anyone has a spare, i'm willing to trade some of my spare shinies or events for one. Or a combination of both, with the Shiny Tapu Koko event I still have banked.

Only I'll be able to see what you enter, you can take your time, and I won't have to worry about revealing my email address or getting sniped. Kurieg posted:What's your favorite Fire/Rock/Fighting Type and why? My favorite Rock-type is Shuckle. It's got a goofy, memorable, simple design, and it's completely invincible. It's fun to look at, and it's fun to train. Using one in the campaign, which favors rapidly dispatching opponents so you can move on, is not so pleasant, but even there it's got flavor and you can pretty much just click the Rollout button and win. Its extreme stat distribution means there's all sorts of unorthodox tactics that you can use with it. Sure, there's the standard defensive builds, with surprising variety, where you win passively, using Toxic or Infestation to outlast an opponent that simply can't overcome your defenses. It rewards being able to think about the long term, calculating how many turns you can press your luck. But there are a number of other goodies in its toolbox. Power Swap and Guard Swap on the weakest and most defensive of 'em all has tantalizing possibilities. Meanwhile, with a level of support that could only be provided by a team entirely built around it for Rotation battles, you can use Power Trick to transform it into the most intimidating glass cannon in the game, with offensive stats exceeding even the most powerful Mega Evolution. I have successfully used such a strategy once. It was the greatest moment I've ever had in this game. The stars aligned, I was able to find a moment for every turn of setup, and the opportunity opened - and I went for it. Boom, boom, boom, boom, took down the entire enemy team with four consecutive +4 Rock Blasts before Trick Room expired. The fact that it's possible to make something like that work is why I keep coming back to these games. Also, in US/UM, if you've imported any pokemon from gen 2 VC, Morimoto tells you that in those games, if you give Shuckle a Berry and finish a battle without using it, afterward it'll be holding Berry Juice instead, and that's just fantastic. I never knew.

Kurieg posted:For Tornadus/Thundrus write a paragraph or two on one of the following: My favorite fighting type is Breloom! I've loved him since Ruby when I first caught the mega cutie Shroomish. When it evolved into whatever the hell Breloom is supposed to be and learned The Coolest Move, Mach Punch then I knew we were destined to be together forever. Breloom and I wrecked Ruby together, but towards the end of the game is when I finally started to figure out what was going on behind the scenes in Pokemon. I was a teenager, but a dumb one, so I never found out about or understood EVs/IVs and definitely not Natures or Abilities until I had some GameFAQs thread rate my team and tell me my Adamant Gardevoir was not ideal. This leads to the second reason that Breloom is my boy and it's because of my best friend who for the sake of anonymity we will call Obama. Obama was a numbers guy, he played Magic the Gathering AND knew what all the cards did so you know he meant business. Obama also knew that I loved Breloom and wanted a powerful one but also that I was too dumb to figure out egg moves and too lazy to get it done even if I did. Level up TWO Shroomish to 44 and then breed them?! I don't have all year people! But Obama did and one day without my even asking him to he presented me with Blastcap (named for the things from Metroid Prime) the Breloom who knew Spore AND Focus Punch, which to my caveman brain was the loving coolest and strongest combination of moves that had or ever would exist. It elevated Breloom to legend status and he has never budged from my top spot since then. also he's cute as gently caress and has stretchy punchy stabby nub arms and a big ol mushroom head and a silly face and his shiny is a pretty autumn red and he's perfect My email is deleted if that trip down memory lane qualifies me for a code.

Kurieg posted:[*]Explain the craziest pokemon manga plot you can to the thread.[/list] In the spirit of getting a Reshiram code, here's my extensive knowledge of the pokemon manga. So there's this Mewtwo. It really likes a spoon, I think. They probably didn't invent the rest of Abra's line yet so this was an original concept. Also it kills people. People and Pokemon actually die in this. None of this baby fainting stuff. It's So anyway, Leaf(?) is a wild jungle girl. Probably Tarzan style. And the Mewtwo dies at some point, I think. But man was super cool and good. Leaf isn't really involved in Mewtwo's story arc as far as I know. I'm just flexing my huge manga knowledge there. That's my summary, thanks for reading.
