the protagonist's father is not present because they left for another woman, and you meet him and his new family later. He does not admit any fault or apologize.

That is almost Stantler's pokedex entry verbatim.

I notice that Uranium's pokemon tend to get more boring as they evolve.

There's Exploud line, Noivern line, Chatot, Meloetta...and that's about it. You could make an argument for Vibrava/Flygon as well but that line has enough typing issues as-is.

I must admit that I kind of like the Key Wizard Staff. Usually key stones are embedded in accessories that belie the true power of the gem inside, like an earring or a bracelet. While that's cool in its own way, there's something satisfying about seeing one put in a place where there's no mistaking it for anything other than a god drat magic jewel. Unfortunately it seems that the creators of Pokemon Uranium didn't share my enthusiasm for it, considering that they forgot to take the placeholder for it out of the script:

Do so many people do all that nonsense that everyone has to just to keep up? Obviously dorks are gonna dork, but you'd think you would just take your loss and go back to fighting more normal people who don't spend eight hours a day soft-resetting for IVs for whatever.

Yeah sure. You don't have to do any of that stuff. Provided, of course, that you don't want to be the very best.

The evolved form of the gunslinger pistol shrimp should look more cowboyish, not less. :mad:

I kinda like that Mega Arbok.

Me too actually. The medusa thing makes sense for it, and the sprite doesn't look half bad, and it's a pokemon that could actually use a mega evolution to make it usable. Mega Whimsicott is dumb though. Cottonball > Cherry blossom tree makes no sense, and why do its legs get shorter and pointier?

EDIT: It is a little busy, but not really any more so than, say, Mega Steelix or Mega Sharpedo.

That's the main reason I think ghe medusa theme fits so well. The mega evolution literally takes the face from scary to petrifying.

Looking at Hazma again, he is great as-is and all, but what if....

Wait, I just realized something. Is there a Nuclear Gyarados, but not a Nuclear Magikarp?

Jun 25, 2012



I'm curious what Mega Nuclear Arbok's front sprite looks like. I hope we get to see it, but if we're never going to, could you dig it out of the game files like you did for the nuclear shiny sprites?

Was... was Poison not already super-effective against Nuclear? :psyduck: Am I misremembering? I thought the whole Nuclear gimmick was "strong against everything, weak to everything".

Poison, for reasons unfathomable, was the only type that was not super effective against Nuclear.

How strange that they took a pokemon that is part of a duo and a pokemon that is one of a legendary trio and made them into a single pokemon with no counterpart.

not to be rude but his fursona is ugly

This creature is a reflection of myself. It is the idealized version of my physical form. When I see this vision, this idea of what life could be like, I am complete. It has wings growing out of its rear end and it is wearing clown makeup.

I don't think it was over and over, or even at the end. I'm pretty sure she just put it at the end of the post because it was the most impressive. Still, the odds of it producing an original, functional knock-knock joke must be staggering.

she said it did it over and over in the post, and it makes sense that it would be near the end of her time working with this given its 'completeness'

Well that's even crazier then.

Man, Plusle and Minun have awful shiny versions. Shiny Plusle is almost indisingushable from regular Plusle. I was thinking maybe they would swap colors or something, but no. Instead of being blue and red, they are slightly different blue and also red.
