From the dead thread, RIP

Crabrawler has a personality that really hates to lose, and it’s driven not only to aim for a higher position than its fellows in terms of social standing, but literally to aim for a higher position in the landscape. Perhaps as a result, it’s sometimes found clinging to tall people or to the walls of buildings! If you try to remove one against its will, you’ll be met with a sound punch.

Crabrawler’s favorite food is Berries. It punches the trunks of trees to give the branches a good shake and knock any ripe Berries to the ground so it can feast! Many Crabrawler may gather around a tree, but only the one that emerges victorious in battle against all the others receives the privilege of eating the ripe Berries.

Crabrawler uses its claws to protect its face and belly while getting in close to an opponent to throw punches. Its punches are powerful enough to split tree trunks! Crabrawler’s pincers are sometimes torn off during its bouts—and they are said to be delicious.

Did they just throw Crab Mentality into a flavor text?

Also, I am glad we are back to having good Route 1 normal rodents after the horrible three streak of Bibarel, Watchog and Diggersby.

Gumshoos is definitely up there with Raticate, Furret and Linoone as a GoodTM design.

Dude, Watchog is great as a poor man's Technician Breloom. It has hypnosis and super fang, which is awesome for taking down high HP monsters.

Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best.

You joke, but it's a pretty cool day when your kid comes home from preschool talking about Pokemon.
And about how one of their classmates has one at home, but isn't allowed to bring it to school. :laugh:

My three year old invented his own, Clancham(an alternate evolution of Pancham) and Tigreen. And when he watches the show and they get into battles he pretends he's Abra and helps out. He likes to tell me "I have 10 new Pokemon you don't have yet".

No matter how many times I tell him though, he believes Mew evolves into MewTwo. Just, no. No son.

Time to tell your kiddo about the Delibirds and the Combees.

Every Gen 5 retread of a Gen 1 design idea is easily 100% better. Gigalith and Swoobat are miles ahead of Golem and Golbat.

This here is a PhD thesis in good opinions. The Zubat line is loving annoying and I wouldn't shed a single tear if those supersonic using vampires disappeared from this earth forever. Golem is a loving terrible design that doesn't fit the rest of the evolution line at all. Thank Arceus it's a trade evo so I didn't have to mash B whenever my Graveler evolved.

Also: Watchog is awesome and a good dog for learning both super fang and hypnosis. It's great for a poor man's Breloom as I said several times in the last thread.

But Golem is awful and deserves to be tossed in to a trubbish can.

The Gen 5-7 rodents have been painting a rich narrative

Patrat and Watchog are the police
Diggersby are the underground big pimps
Gumshoos are the detectives bringing them to justice
Alolan Rattata and Raticate are the underground underlings and divisionary bosses respectively
Bunnelby and Yungoos are too pure and have yet to be tainted by the vermin crime wars

I like this, but can't square Gumshoos' role with the fact that Yungoos is obviously a villainous businessman from the 80's.

The way they've handled event mon distribution is probably the worst most :effort: thing about pokemon currently. Why bother having Legendaries like Volcanion, Hoopa, Diancie if their only role is to be handed to you through various low fanfare online distribution?

:psyduck:

I get that there's no fanfare. I was just wondering if dates were firmed up to anything aside from just "October".

New video of adorable kids playing Pokemon like they were in an anime. Couple new details is the Normal Z Move being Breakneck Blitz, as well as a look at the Rock Z move, which I hoped was Minior's exclusive Z move. Oh well.

Also, since the Exeggutor had Explosion, it's possible to use that as the basis of the Z Move, but not actually explode and be able to use it later. Also Multi Battles let there be 4 Z Moves in a match.

Shut up, I'm not crying you're crying.
