Oh yeah the Torterra forest was crap, both because of what you said, and also because nobody noticed a mountain range growing up from nowhere??

Mewtwo did use "his" mouth to talk when he was taken over by the villain but it didn't bother me

Mewtwo has two voice actors, one male and one female, so in my headcanon they use they/them pronouns and are a genetically and cybernetically enhanced nb friend.

In Episode: Rainbow Rocket are Archie and Maxie supposed to be the versions from RSE? Since they use their old designs, and don't use mega evolution or primal reversion.

all the team leaders from episode rr are from alternate dimensions where the player character in their respective games didn't exist and they managed to complete their plans

Mewtwo is a Legendary pokemon and thus genderless/undefinable by human standards. All the legends are nb and cool (except the ones with genders and that's cool too)

It's true

Interestingly in the Mystery Dungeon games many otherwise genderless legendaries have genders. For example in Gates to Infinity Virizion is a girl and Victini is a boy. I assume because they are games in which you are a Pokemon and you can communicate with other Pokemon so they can tell everyone their preferred pronouns. One thing I found neato was that in Gates to Infinity Meloetta changes pronouns depending on which forme they're in.

This person on my VIP list has apparently done 134,963 wonder trades. This has gotta be a bot program right? If she’s had SM since day one that’s 145 trades every single day, which at 2 minutes a trade is almost 5 hours. Not to mention the time needed to actually get all these Pokémon, and she’s not breeding them(at least not in that game).

EDIT: Oh she’s probably just retrading whatever she gets. I guess the only possible goal for this would be Pokedex completion?

Nasgate posted:

Mewtwo never opens its mouth to talk and Ryme city is explicitly set up to not be a normal Pokemon city. Like, I'm not going to say it's a great movie. But at least use valid criticisms like the tension of the torterra forest immediately dissolving itself, meaning it adds nothing to the movie or plot.

I was going to mention the Torterra scene and how it exists to literally make one thing happen, how the lab serves as nothing more than a set piece that would have been no different from an abandoned warehouse, and how Tim's reporter partner friend's only real role in the film is "girl with Psyduck," but I think I made that post at midnight and didn't feel like typing it all out.

Ryme City's look is so out-of-place in the Pokémon universe, and it's generally fine for a one-shot movie thing. However, they're actively trying to tie it into mainline canon, and it is at odds with the Detective Pikachu game. The sequel(?) for Switch is in a weird spot, because Kaiji Tang's DP and Ryan Reynolds's DP are vastly different characters, with the latter being plenty of people's first experience with the character, and because game Ryme City looks like it actually fits with a detective noir motif, while movie Ryme City has a cyber-techno battle arena that would fit in the same universe as the 90s Mario movie.

Like I said, I LOVED the Detective Pikachu film and game, both for different reasons, and I would recommend them both to everyone. I just remember sitting in the theatre at the end of DP and thinking "Yeah, the Sonic movie will be on par with this, and I'm good with that."

More additions to my anime stock plots list:
  • A swarm of wild Beedrill get angry and chase Ash and/or Team Rocket. (This even happens in areas where Beedrill isn't in the regional Pokedex.)
  • Ash and the current female companion lose a Tag Battle against a pair of Trainers specializing in Tag Battles due to their Pokemon getting in each others' way, they bicker with each other over it, then they make up. (OK, this only happened twice so far, but it's such a weirdly specific plot to reuse.)
  • The twerps and/or Team Rocket try to help the Character of the Day's weak Pokemon evolve, often by deliberately losing fights against it.

Well, this is the first time in a long time I posted in the megathread. And it's because I'm a goddamned idiotbus.

In Sun this dude I had been trading with had a weird and obviously hax facility. Oh, I wonder what'll that do? Crash the game every time I try to load festival plaza from an unspecified error. Oh, well, that makes sense.
:negative:
I have absolutely no experience with hacking cartridges or systems and coding is Greek to me, but I was wondering for any of y'all in that scene knew if Nintendo has patched the game cartridges or 3ds xl so that, uh, these homebrews and custom firmwares would no longer work? The stuff I'm finding online are from ~3 years ago. Or, even, under extra data management there is a 'Pokemon Sun / Moon" 15 blocks worth of data; would that...? I just need to revert to one save earlier than the autosave for the new facility, or edit that facility so it's something normal.

Sorry bud, but unless you can also hack your save and remove the garbage the other guy left in your cart with an editor, you'll either need to restart the whole thing or just not use the Festival Plaza. There's only one save slot, and when it autosaves, it saves on top of it.

I do now genuinely want a pokemon game where they overcompensate for the lack of a second parent all this time by having your protag being the kid of a stereotypically deeply overly supportive gay couple. It's like how in gen 2 and 3 you had the pokephone and could send money home and all but instead it's being constantly called with check ins to make sure you're drinking water and making friends and telling you they believe in you and poo poo. In the hall of fame montage at the end they're in the background with somehow already made shirts with you and your team on them. Never will there be jokes about absentee poke-parents again. Hire me nintendo, I'll make all your games queer.
