Shiny Psyduck is the best. I remember we were threatening to make it an emote years ago for when someone says something extraordinarily dumb.

Raichu is a good, chubby boy. Electric is my favorite element, so I was excited to get a Pikachu, and then after evolving him, I knew I had my favorite Pok�mon. Bulbasaur was my first starter, but thunderbolt blasting, mega kicking Raichu was my star player.

And I�ve mentioned before that Alolan Raichu reminds me of that Peychic/Electric starter deck from the core set of the TCG, so he�s cool with me.

I love that Giovanni's end goal is very obviously capturing Mewtwo and most of what Team Rocket does in the game is leading up to that, but the game never actually comes out and just says it.

I think that�s part of the reason why the originals are still my favorites. There�s so little story, it feels more like just world building to immerse you.

Seems Totodile was event-only, Bulbasaur by trading from XY and Turtwig by transferring from a Gen 5 event. Maybe ask the trade thread if anyone has HA starters in Gen 6 they can breed for you?

Get Gold or Silver from the E Shop for HA Totodile.

Friend Safari is a post-game activity in X and Y that was the main way without trading or banking to get pokemon that weren't in the Kalos regional dex.

And it also has a greater chance of getting shinies. Got my only shiny, Kirlia, from a goons friend safari. Thank you, Meis! Shiny Gardevoir is a jewel in my Pok�mon collection, and it�s clones have made a lot of people happy.

Unrelated, one of my wishes for Sword/Shield, is that it supports Pokeball Plus. I still love carrying that thing around.

Do you have any name change tech by any chance or is that a step too far? I just really like being able to nickname things and pokemon's name rules are a bummer.

edit: Oh! And you can have any pick of whatever shinies I have. I just got a shiny larvesta called Hestia yesterday for example.

Nope. The clones were made using the AR Code crash glitch from ORAS. Gardevoir is named after forum user Meis whose friend safari I found the Kirlia from, and Mew is just Mew from the 2010 giveaway.

I�m not looking for anything particular in return. Maybe just a sample from a breeding project you�re proud of, or the offspring of one of your favorite Pok�mon. I don�t care about anything competitive, just good friends.

Those are some good looking figures.

... Wait what do you mean these are renders for a movie?

They look like the plastic figures my local game store got from Japan. Someone in this thread figured out the toys were called Pok�mon Kids, and the Pok�mon themselves were hollow little figures you could wear on your finger that came in blind boxes with chalky candy. Lapras, Mewtwo, and the trainers were a larger size without a hole that came with several figures.

EDIT: Torterra looks ridiculously awesome!

I don't like the direction the Pokemon thread has taken.

Instead let's discuss your favorite Pokemon TCG artwork.

For example, look at this cute poo poo.

That�s adorable. I was just thinking yesterday that I should just use both Raichus� in Let�s Go instead of trying to choose a favorite. They�re both the best boys.

The Pokemon Company made sure we didn't give any pokemon more than 4 moves when battling, and had to approve which ones were used, because they wanted to make sure kids could replicate them in the games.

That�d be cool if they do some giveaways in the games.

No. It�s humor, heart, and Pok�mon in equal measure. It�s everything the trailer offers, no more, no less.

That dude sucked, yet the episode acted like it was perfectly okay for him to physically abuse his Pokemon and Ash was wrong and petty to have been upset by it or try to stop it.

Why did Pokemon X give me a Lucario? What am I supposed to do with it? I already have a Delphox, I don't need two ugly fox fursuits on my team.

I�m pretty sure it�s the first time you see mega evolution. It loses its effect if you played one of the later games first.

I've been dragging these Pokemon around from the days of Sapphire. I've got everything from X/Y on down but I haven't played Sun/Moon. I see that the Ultra games added new Pokemon in the middle of this generation, and so did the Let's Go games?

If I get Ultra Sun, will those two (Meltan?) from Let's Go be the only ones not available eventually, including online trades?

And currently there�s no way to trade Let�s Go Pok�mon to the other games.

I hope they announce Pok�mon Bank compatibility with the Swtch and the Let�s Go games. I also want to play Sword and Shield with the Pokeball Plus even if it doesn�t have the Let�s Go throwing mechanics.

Well poo poo man they kinda have to. Pokemon bank is entirely built around transferring your pokemon down the gens.

Right, but if Bank works with Let�s Go it�ll be the first time you can transfer from Go to the main title games.

Looks like I�m getting Shield. I�m currently 4/3 on first/second versions. Red, Ruby, Diamond, and X against Silver, White, and Moon.

I think I�m going Sobble just because I like his sad rear end. I�m currently at two fire, one water, and four grass starters.

I have a feeling they�ll drip feed Pokemon additions over the course of the year. Probably add more raid battles and small features to keep people glued to the game instead of just mashing it out in a couple months, and being done with it.

Apparently Pokeball Plus will be supported, just not as a controller. It will also have a special perk if you put a specific Pok�mon in there. That�s some good news at least. I love my Pokeball Plus.

I hope Home has activities and stuff I can do with my Pok�mon. Gotta admit, the name alone sounds a lot better than stuffing them in a Bank vault.

Just want to know my digital friends are somewhere comfortable.

Open Marriage Night: Sep 18, 2009; "Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"

It�s me. I�m the one stuck in Gen 1 nostalgia. I�ve played every generation since, but I�m still chasing that high I got the first time I played Red. I liked the barely there plot compared to Sun/Moon making it feel like I�m just along for the ride in someone else�s story.

A lot of the Pok�mon designs from Gen 1 haven�t aged well, but Raichu, the Charmander and Bulbasaur lines, Mew and Mewtwo will always be my favorites from any generation.

Edit: How dare I forget Lapras. Psychic/Surf/Ice Beam/Blizzard

Gen 2 did have some good designs. My latest play through of Silver stalled at like the second gym though, and I just sent them all up to Ultra Moon. It�s been pretty fun so far playing it with a team of Gen 2 mons with their hidden abilities.

Kids are their own worst enemies sometimes. Imagine thinking you can be too old for something you enjoy.

No judgment intended btw, I grew out of Power Rangers back in like Elementary school and now I'm a huge Tokusatsu fan. Pokemon though I've never stopped playing.

Gen 3 was a big jumping off point for a lot of people (myself included) because it was on Gameboy Advance. I came back for Gen 4 because the idea of Pok�mon with a touch screen menu blew my mind.

Almost finished with Gen 3 and looking to start Gen 4. Since HGSS is part of that and I know I'll be playing through Crystal later, I'm beginning to think of what Pokemon I want to use for Heart Gold and which I want to save for Crystal. I'm thinking that my Heart Gold team will include Slowking, Kingdra, and Scizor since it will be a lot easier for me to trade evolve between my own Gen 4 games than to purchase a second copy of a VC game, and that I'll save happiness evolutions for Crystal. Also thinking Typhlosion for Heart Gold because he can learn Solar Beam in Gen 4 to go with Sunny Day. Any other clear winners and losers that are best used during a particular Gen for Johto?

Keep in mind that when you Bank your Pok�mon from Crystal they�ll have their hidden abilities. I�m currently playing Ultra Moon with Pok�mon I traded up from Red and Silver. Meganium not being able to receive status effects in sunlight along with Synthesis has made him tanky as hell.
