If they only focus on main series games Alola would be on the 26th, though the date would have changed over to the 27th in Japan

And what does this mean?

It's how a Japanese person pronounces "the wild" phonetically.

Also it's this JoJo's reference (za warudo/the world):

Alright so I got HeartGold and I think I'd like to put Scizor on my team. An FAQ says there are no Metal Coats until you beat the Johto 4, though I read you can get them from Pokeathalon. Is it true that I can get Metal Coat before beating the Johto League and also what's the fastest Pokeathalon point grind?

I’d suggest using either Bulbapedia or Serebii for finding information on where to find specific items or Pokémon in the games. There’s too much to remember otherwise.

I prefer Bulbapedia’s design (Serebii’s design gives me a headache) but a lot of people prefer Serebii because it has the important information more near the top of the page

Thank you very much. Bulbapedia says you can get Coats on Fridays without having the National Dex. I'll trust to that.

Picked up MonPoke recently and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. I never realized I was missing it until I finally got my hands on it.

Participating in the tournament only to receive the gift at the end and...I actually won a match

Someone just came in with a bunch of unevolved stuff. I randomly picked stuff out of my box caught in Gen 7.

Then someone who takes this seriously destroyed my team easily.

One more match to go to get the prize.

Some weird thing that the Pokémon company trademarked some months back. There was a logo involved but literally nothing came of it so far.

Its not indefinite. You get quite a few shakes but it dries up eventually and you need to wait a few hours to restock it.

Most of Team Galactic were complete morons who were deliberately kept in the dark about their boss’ plans, but the team itself was a threat because of the higher ups. So some came close, but Team Skull was designed in-story to be ineffectual and goofy so that the Aether Foundation could have a distraction from their real activities.

Yeah, Aqua/Magma are also close but the game isn't nearly as self aware of how idiotic and goofy they are and seems to want you to take them seriously. Even when they're doing poo poo like threatening to make a volcano erupt while standing in the caldera

I’m in a bit of a weird bind now in the Ultra Moon story. Several of my dudes are all of a sudden being disobedient and I’m trying to fight the kahuna of the second island. I’m sure I have to beat her for them to be obedient but it’s a pain when they just “loaf around” instead of fight. I’m just under level 40 with a few of them.

Yep, that was my thought. It was surprising because they were lower level than my starter. So I just used my Decidueye and best her down with grass and shadow attacks and kept my health up with roto restores.

Rotom is like a really annoying friend who always helps you move. It’s annoying to tolerate him but he’s very helpful when he lets me stab him in the eyes for cash and prizes.

Edit/I had more stuff to write: What's the general opinion on the Rowlet starter and its evolutions? I'm rocking a level 40 Decidueye now and she's pretty dope, what with a grass move, a flying move, a shadow move and some ZZtop move. However, I think generation 6's starters were better. I have a level 98 Delphox that has a balance of fire and psychic moves and she destroys everything that isn't a real person playing the game. She's also cute and her tail is holding a stick on fire or some poo poo.

Watching the latest anime episode and this Pikachu vs Mudsdale trial is on a comparable level of bullshit to the Onix and Rhydon battles in the earliest seasons twenty years ago.

But they justified it by saying that the seawater soaking Mudsdale was similar to the move Soak, which turned Mudsdale into a water-type temporarily.

If I want to be a real poke-nerd, is there a way to watch the show starting at Season 1? Netflix seems to only have some movies plus the XY/SunMoon seasons, and Hulu has like seasons 14-16 or something. I want to start from the beginning.

I mean, let's be fair - this time, they *HAVE* the excuse of Soak to use when they want to pull that poo poo. They didn't have that back in the Onix fight.

Brand new. They're fireselling them.

I saw the deal in the 3DS deals subreddit and swung by and got one on my way home. They had two and the clerk went and bought the other lol.
