Man, Misty is such a bitch to poor little Caterpie. This a good show though!

Just so you know, the 38th episode in Japan caused the show to go on hiatus due to a seizure incident. It was pulled from rotation and never made it west, but by the time the show came back on the air, they were translating it for the west and started making more filler episodes. Ash has 6 badges by episode 32 but then takes another 27 to get his 7th.

I'm starting to think there wasn't a consistent cipher with the Pokémon text earlier. They're definitely using English as the base language and the e seems to have consistently been the 3 slash marks, but it's very possible the designers just went with characters that looked close enough.

The Japanese Pokemon logo was updated to look like the one used in the rest of the world.

The gen 7 evolutions got leaked super early, but most people thought they were fake:



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.

I'm watching the Pokémon sun and moon show on Netflix, this'll be my first Pokémon in a long time cause I never had a handheld after the gba. My question is how come Mr mime is ashes step-dad?

After Ash got his final badge in Kanto, they began a training arc for the Elite Four based around him being back in Pallet Town. In one of them the circus comes to town and ash dresses like a Mr. Mime for plot reasons. A real one wanders back to his house and Ash's mom thinks it's him. It starts living with her doing chores and has been a recurring character since.

Outside of the cover legendary Pokemon and the usual version exclusivity of certain Pokemon, the most noticeable thing is that Moon sets the clock ahead 12 hours so it's night time during the day.

Looking at the bulbapedia discussion page, the administrator in the comment thread says it's fake so pretty much any changes made to the page will probably be reverted.

Sun and Moon changed up the formula for the series. Ash enrolled in a Pokemon school and so they focus more on characters and day to day life since they're not travelling around to gyms. It's still a kid's show but it's at least doing something original.

Just read the headline, so sorry if it's in the article, but what is the point of giving out shiny Pokemon in the game where getting one legitimately is the easiest it's ever been? I have 6 shiny Pikachu there.

Children consistently tweet at Serebii Joe that the information on his site is wrong because they caught 300 Pokemon and never saw a shiny. There's definitely an audience.

The Pokemon Pass app is live. You need to log in at Pokemon.com with a trainer club account then approve the usage of Pokemon Pass in settings to be able to use it.

The app requires location services which might be their way of making sure people actually go to a store.

Can the Eon Ticket in ORAS be obtained through online StreetPass or not? And if so, how does it work? I’ve tried googling this but there’s a lot of conflicting information.

It's sent through the streetpass application. I don't know about the different homebrew methods but heading to an anime convention for a day usually results in getting it.

Yeah just a character of the day.

I'm pretty sure her Sun and Moon incarnation is in her 20s (due to special circumstances) so she wouldn't be hanging around with middle school kids.

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.

what's an arm pokemon, the one that hangs out with them outside the pokeball?

A small Pokemon the girls carry around like Togepi. Lana has Eevee to replace Poplio, Lillie has Snowy the Vulpix, and Mallow got a loving Shaymin to carry around after Bounsweet became a Tsareena. Can't have them not carrying around a cute pokemon.

So I just got some codes for the zeraora thing thrown in my bag, but apparently they only work in USM. I'm pretty taken by the hype generated by detective pikachu right now and I'd be happy to dive into another pokemon game, but are Ultra SM going to be any good to someone who didn't like regular Sun/ Moon that much? It's mainly the amount and the length of the cutscenes that really got to me.

Some of the events got streamlined but it mostly follows the same Sun/Moon story through the 3rd island. It's pretty much a 3rd version split in two but instead of replacing the Sun/Moon events it's an alternate dimension.


Anyways I finally got around to charging my second Switch so I could claim another Shiny Pikachu/Eevee but it wants me to sign in to Nintendo Online so
