Every default Pokemon trainer, especially the girls, tends to get a fanart personality pretty quickly, and I'm glad this tradition abides.

I think it's kind of just making fun of Scottish people at this point tbqh, in a kind of lovely way. Like kids get routinely punished in school if they use their Scottish accent

It'll probably die down when new information (aka new things to make fun off) is revealed.

Like kids get routinely punished in school if they use their Scottish accent This isn't true, unless you're posting through a time vortex from thirty years ago, and even then it was a question of using the prestige scottish accent vs the ones seen as lower class. I can't speak for all Scots but I find the memes funny.

I'm just disappointed that after all this time they didn't make an Electric/Steel form based on a moment from the Adventure manga when Rotom possessed an action figure.

Larryb posted:Near as I can tell, it kicked their asses once during Jessie and James' first appearance (albeit with the help of several other Pikachu) so they came to the conclusion that it's abnormally strong and therefore worth stealing (and to be fair that's kind of true). It didn't do jack - it was out of juice and a bike's lamp isn't going to generate enough juice to fry a fly Then there's also the fact a stray spark ignited Koffing's gasses, which then nuked the center, a feat that the TRio mistakenly attributed to a single Pikachu and have been pursuing it ever since Then the time they have Pikachu, because it's not with Ash, it's weak as a kitten, so bringing it to Giovanni wouldn't win them any favors, especially since there's a literal forest of them in the region of Kanto any old Rocket Grunt could go to and pick one up if he really wanted one

I could read the Male trainer as posh and/or chavie. A city boy, definitely. The female trainer is definitely from the countryside though Edit: Flopsy posted:If I'm being honest I'm not in a position to judge really.

On another note, who else here thinks the early game normal type is going to be some variation on the European badger and it'll be an unholy rage machine? I'm betting a vole, some sort of fieldmouse, or maybe a shrew. The bird would be some sort of partridge. Xelkelvos fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Mar 5, 2019 |

I was about to add hedgehog but we got another one just last gen. (The first being shaymin) A shrew would be an interesting addition, however it's gimmick might be too close to yungoose. I can't help but think they would have to be defined by their rapid metabolism and eating habits. If it does follow through they might be the first normal/poison type which would be pretty cool. Bird's definitely going to be a member of the Phasianidae family though.

I was showing my roommate my living dex and he was like "You don't have all 30 Spinda?" and I looked at him like he was crazy and was like "How did you arrive at just 30? There's like 4 billion" and he looked at me with such horror.

I found my 3ds and man I've got some good nicknames in Moon. My team when I turned it on is:
I also had Batmoon the Lunala but clearly I was off my game when I named that one. I gotta work out who's gunna be the sixth in my team and finally finish this game. I just had someone tell me to go below the research station to find out about Ultra Beasts.

I've decided that the only way GameFreak can redeem themselves for going back to random battles, is to give us a new form of DexNav.

Also the only person I know who was ever punished for speaking Scots was my gran, nearly seventy years ago.
