They'll just add a poke ball in post and the blood spray will be the capture effect

And then we never see the pokemon again, just like the rest of the pokemon Ash "caught" over the past 20 years

Oh? When did Butterfree ever come back? Did it have a cameo in the Kanto episodes of Sun and Moon?

Also I'm pretty sure that loving Fearow is gone by now and all those pidgeys probably evolved into Pidgeotto. Go get your Pidgeot back.

According to Bulbapedia, Ash's Butterfree had a cameo as a flashback during SM042, so the writers still remember he existed (well, appearing in the I Choose You! movie would prove that too, I guess)

The Pidgeot thing was a dub edit IIRC, so Ash will never go back for it.

There were two butterfree flying around (with literally only two frames of animation) during a panning shot of the ranch. One was a slightly lighter shade of purple than the other but there wasn't enough detail to discern whether or not it was Ash's and its mate

There was also a corphish and totodile, but since they don't interact with Ash, we don't know if they're his either (most older fans of course insist they are)

The dub is correct. Ash will go back for it. He will go to Kalos, pick up Goodra from the nature preserve, fly over to the forest and get Greninja now that all the Zygarde cells are taken care of, then fly over to Kanto and find Pidgeot in the sky.

He'll make a quick stop to get that Beedrill he caught and gave away one episode.

The Law? Law is a Human Institution.


Bisharp is absurd.

No one should be able to use physical attacks against Bisharp. He should have some ability similar to Iron Barbs or Rough Skin, accept called "My Stomach is full of deadly saw blades."

No way any move that makes physical contact should be okay, unless they make an attack called "Punch very carefully in the thick-rear end thigh region"

Heads up for anyone farming Meltan in GO - between the 18th and 22nd will be a double candy period, which further stacks with Pinaps so you can get the real good good during then.

gently caress yeah gained like 250,000 experience from a single lucky egg this morning, turning in my mew and celebi quests then winning three raids and getting a Lugia and ho oh all in a half hour. Then I got Mew as well a little bit later.

Just gotta catch like 25 more grass/poison and I'll get celebi also.

I'm like halfway to level 30 from halfway to level 29.

Organizing my older Pokemon games. My original DS, DSiXL, and several games were stolen a few years back so I lost a bunch. Seeing what I can do to transfer stuff up as I have along car drive coming up.

And I come across my Japanese copy of Heart Gold, something I purchased because back in Gen 4, Japan got the games a few months earlier.

I somehow got to the 7th badge and apparently even downloaded some of the Wi-Fi events.

I honestly have no recollection of ever playing that game. But it is cool to see some old Pokemon in there and there are certainly a few I need to get into the modern era.

46 pinap berries, I'm loaded for bear Meltan. If I have this right, both the bonus period and the Pinap berries give an extra 3 candies per catch, right?

I've got a Japanese silver cart but no way to play it, I lost the GBC years ago. I think I was in 7th grade and clearly couldn't wait the several months before it came out in English, and a local store had one. Playing it was very difficult, since I can't speak Japanese.

Generation 1 games didn't have a little clock inside running constantly so they last a bit longer than a generation 2 game.

I honestly have no recollection of actually playing my JP copy ofHeart Gold. But apparently I did, at least up until the point around the 7th/8th badge where grinding is a chore. I apparently also got a few of the JP Wi-Fi events.

I only know a few phrases of Japanese and sure as hell can't actually read any. You kind of just have to rely on just mashing the button for dialogue, choices are always the first choice, and then each move is has a color and you just kind of have to pray it is an Attacking move and not some bullshit useless move.

It's interesting to see what was waiting for you in an old Pokemon save you forgot. I had gamefly for a while and checked out other people's intriguing teams, boxes, boxes and movesets.

The first pokemon game I played was pokemon yellow in english without speaking english.

It wasn't that incredible, I got stuck in fuchsia city because I didn't understand that I needed to get through safari zone to progress, and I don't think I understood safari zone in general. To this day I have never finished yellow. I just did the thing kids do where you start the same game from the beginning over and over and then I quit when I got to fuchsia again.

I got stuck in my first play through of Blue for ten minutes because I couldn’t tell that the little mat was the door of my house. I then failed to catch a single thing because I ended up grinding my Charmander until it evolved before I got the tutorial on how to catch Pokémon. On the next play through, I failed right at the league because I didn’t know how to swap out Pokémon and just ran out of PP for my Blastoise.

I was a very slow learner with the series as a little kid. My utter incompetence as a child is what made me tolerate the over abundance of tutorials in later games.

I almost bought a second-hand one without knowing the Mew was one time only. And I would have been pissed.

And then I saw one on ebay that was like, "Mew still inside" and thankfully I got curious and didn't find one for under retail before finding out.
