Can someone explain to me the Pokeball Plus, and if I should get one?

It's a more natural controller that fits the catching mechanic a lot better, although the controls take a little getting used to
Not a necessity, but it's a nice addition, and it lets you take pokemon on the go if you want to relive the days of the PokeWalker

Ash just wouldn't loving stop yelling in those early episodes. I know he's supposed to be a loudmouth idiot and he was like that in the Japanese version as well, but the constant yelling was really irritating to listen to and it also carried over to other dubs such as the Finnish one I watched as a kid.

It doesn't help that where Matsumoto played Ash as hot blooded and determined, Taylor just came out as whiny and entitled.

That lessens over time but then you get to Advanced Generation and he and May are both main characters played by the same actor and sound way too drat similar.

Natochenny gets a lot of flack but I think she's a better match for Matsumoto's performance.

I'd wager sometime during the Summer for the middle stages. Probably won't see the final evolutions until a month or so from release.

Defeatist would hardly be a problem in single-player. Chances are you'll kill everything before it even has a chance to knock you down to half health.

Yeah, these are my thoughts as well.

Taylor's Ash also goes from way too gravely at first to way too high pitched. But it really doesn't help that she can only do 1.5 voices. (She voices Micaiah from Fire Emblem now and her Micaiah voice is Literally May, Ash's Mom, and Every Other Female Character She Voices.)

I think that third evolution is probably close to the idea of what it'll be. Not that serious looking probably but the idea that it's gonna be based around the Loch Ness Monster

It can be hard to guess too since a ton of starters basically gain entirely new themes at stage 2/3. Like tell me you'd predict Greninja comes from Froakie or that Litten turns into a wrasslecat

This is the big thing. Unless pokemon design direction has suddenly shifted this generation, we've basically got no clue what the second and third stages of the starters look like. It did happen in Gen 5 where previously, the evolutions looked relatively similar to their base forms, just bigger and more aggressive looking, save for exceptions like Torchic, but from Gen 5 and on, the evolutions were a little more distinct from their starters making them decidedly harder to predict. They still had similar shapes, but I don't think anyone would predict Snivy would suddenly lose its limbs to be a snake or Fennekin becomes a wizard. Hell, I was definitely certain that Popplio would become some sort of clown at its final stage instead of an Opera singer, but that's starter evolutions for you.

I've added you Flopsy, my code is 1907-7994-3889 should be Gnat, IGN: Lumitar. I'd love a shiny Shaymin and the Eevee and Sylveon whenever we manage to trade. I'm online before work for a bit now, and should be around over most of the weekend.

Edit to add: if you get a chance to rename the Sylveon to Brandestoc and the Eevee to Scramasax, that would be awesome, but if not, no worries (just thinking ahead to what theme I'll go with for Pokemon Sword).

I gotcha! Sorry but all those shinies I got off wonder trade so I can't nickname them but I'll set them aside for you.

It's kinda a hindsight thing but if you look at the leaked images and anyone trying their hands at a fake, they always miss a crucial element. The concept art we got inside of various collections were cleaned up for the general public and did not include the artist's notes about which color to use. Google searching concept art brings up those cleaned up images and that's what people have been faking. It's such a small detail but would be crucial for any kind of development work where they'll be passing the illustrations off to other employees to make 3D models or other illustrations.
