indigi posted:Kiawe and Lana seem like they'd be hype about competing in the league (although doesn't Lana only have the one, first stage pokemon [we're like 20-30ish episodes behind]) All the characters but Lillie have a 3rd stage Pokemon as of the most recent episode in Japan with the girls getting arm Pokemon replacements. I suspect Lillie is going to end up with a fully evolved ice or fairy Pokemon. Maybe Ribombee since that's her battle tree team.

SuperKlaus posted:Hey RatHat, check the Pokemon Trading Thread. I'm going to post a list of the things I have to see to complete my Hoenn Pokedex. You post a list too. Then we can figure out how to help each other get 100% seen and score Oval Charms. I will be at home and online in OR in a few hours. I’ll help you complete yours but I only need Latios for mine.

I just defeated a trainer named Teacher Hillary and received 1488 pokebucks, is the game trying to tell me something?

Just saw Detective Pikachu if y'all have anything you want spoiled nows the time to ask. If I had to sum it up though I'd give it C+ That and I do appreciate the detective angle they went with.

Maybe. Frankly, you get to see most of the pokemon in the trailers. There's a few they kept here and there, but I think there's only really one big set-piece sequence with a pokemon that hasn't been shown off at all. Pikachu being funny is the biggest reason to see it.

I purposefully only watched the first trailer (because honestly, the whole slow leak of trailers that eventually show basically the whole movie is a problem with any hyped-up film), so hopefully that means a lot of really cool realistic Pokemon to see for the first time!

I honestly LOVED Detective Pickachu. It was funny, the Pokemon were animated beautifully, and I liked the goofy anime-esque plot. I can totally see other people not enjoying it if they don't know about or aren't emotionally invested in the world of Pokemon, but I am so I just had a ton of fun and I'm hoping for another live action movie.

Just saw the movie. It was really drat good. My only real complaint is the lack of Bug types other than Joltik.  Spoilers for the final act of the movie: I usually dislike the Ditto face meme, but the movie puts it to really good use and it's really unsettling seeing it in 'live action'.

poo poo drat how the hell does anyone get Gold at the Battle Hall. 170 fuckin wins with a single Pokemon? I can't even be mad. That's so fuckin lofty that I can't even begin to expect that I can achieve it. Just got my streak stomped at 137, the level 10 Ghost was a tanky-rear end Spiritomb what nailed my Gallade to the wall. Never stood a chance. Thing's got no fuckin weaknesses in gen 4! Okay, I can be a little mad. After this dick it was gonna be (mostly) smooth sailing. Cept for maybe Flying. I was saving Flying for last. Also ^^^ You definitely gotta bring someone to stop the hail. Not only the attrition angle, but it turns his Blastoise and Lapras into real motherfuckers.

Mostly agreed on Detective Pikachu. It was not anything outstanding as a movie- the plot didn't make much sense at the end and the dialogue was very stilted at times, especially whenever they tried to throw in some Pokemon game mechanics/lingo in very unnatural ways. And there is a very good reason the main girl is barely featured in any of the trailers, she is kind of embarassing and bad. But it was fun as hell to watch, looked beautiful, and it perfectly captured the feeling of a world inhabited by Pokemon. It never felt like "our world + Pokemon." So I hope it does well so we can get more in-universe Pokemon movies. I adore the fact that they never explained what Pokemon were because everyone in this world would know, that is such a rarity in these kinds of films. EDIT: I should emphasize the "at times" for the dialogue, I feel like Justice Smith and Ryan Reynolds were great overall and Bill Nighy can do no wrong, there were just some awkwardly written lines at times.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Mostly agreed on Detective Pikachu. Agreed. What I had a hard time with though was the villains big evil plan at the end Like I get wanting Mewtwo's body for your own if you have a degenerative disease. Like go big or go home right? But why the gently caress was he suddenly like: OKAY NOW ALL OF YOU DO THIS THING WITH ME I feel like it would've been SO much stronger if it was simply the first thing and not the second. Also ditto was more terrifying than Mr. Mime a thousandfold. Edit: Loved how that big weirdo with the charizard tattoo despite all appearances actually loving ADORED his pokemon and got super pissed when Tim laid hands on him.

Not sure how anyone is supposed to figure out Regigigas' unlock conditions in ORAS without a guide. There's a girl that tells you Regigigas is coming to see Regiice, that's literally the only clue you get. I can see guessing that you need all 3 Regis in your party but how are you supposed to know to nickname Regiice, make it hold something cold, and that it needs to be in the daytime? I think this is more obtuse than evolving Malamar.

Aside from that, there aren't any hints. I don't even know how that even got found out in the first place. It's so ridiculously obtuse. Then again, the 3DS was cracked open at the time, so it could have just been data mined.

I like the presentation of Pokémon battles in Detective Pikachu. Rather than trainers constantly yelling out commands, it's shown as much more dog-fighty, with the Pokémon apparently using their training to hold their own in the ring. I'm a little annoyed that all of the Pokémon in the movie appear in the various trailers and promos. It becomes obvious about 30 minutes in that they've already used up all their models and just reuse them in background shots. Apparently everyone in Ryme City only have Sneasel, Arcanine, or Audino. There's no attention paid to type advantages but that's probably a good thing. Cute little movie! I really like it

It was totally on board with and enjoying it's job. One of the very few Pokemon outside the games and manga that is just kind of a jerk I guess. Ditto as a sort of narcissistic trickster and rear end in a top hat was a very good direction. Xander B Coolridge posted:I like the presentation of Pokémon battles in Detective Pikachu. The lack of variety is an issue but it bugged me less cause so many of my favourites got in I guess. Also Mr Mime's scene was even better than the trailers and I now like Mr Mimes much more. And yeah the only nod to type advantage I can think of is Charizard snapping out of it's R serum rage and just making GBS threads itself when Gyarados shows up. But also it's Gyarados.

I laughed so hard at Roger waxing on about how "Evolution let's you become your best self" over an Eevee, only for it to evolve into a Flareon.. Also, the Ditto transformed as a human was terrifying.
