I love this. Do you know who the artist is and if they've done similar drawings of other Pokémon?

I also had the 2 B A Master CD. The title track, Viridian City, and the weird 90s trance song always got me super pumped I'm also one of those people who will defend Veronica Taylor's Ash, both out of nostalgia and because of the His and Her Circumstances dub

Ghost Leviathan posted:I wonder if being on a 'main' console for once will spell some significant differences for a Pokemon game. They've had console spinoffs before (Pokemon XD and all) but not mainline entries. Might be on a bigger scale than previous Pokemon games. We're talking about Gamefreak. It's more likely that they'll reintroduce HMs

Currently reading through the BogLeech posts. I love that as of Gen 3 he hadn't written Gen 7 yet since he predicted or asked for several gen 7 designs. I hope he felt affirmed

HopperUK posted:There's an episode of the anime where the pokemon are separated from their trainers and it's shown with subtitles that they can all communicate as fluently and eloquently as Meowth does. Their constant name-saying is more like what Groot does; we just don't get it. This was the very first episode of the anime I ever saw, before I even had played the games. I just assumed every episode was exactly like this and had subs for what the Pokémon were saying. It also started my lifelong love of Bulbasaur. He's my #1 to this day.

Regarding Japanese names, there's a really good YouTube mini series that just finished up explaining each name and its wordplay (or lack of). They even have a native Japanese speaker pronounce each one! Pokémon Japanese Names Explained They're also in the process of remastering the English name videos.

I'm still not sold on just how furry the furry Pokémon look in Detective Pikachu I'm not sure what I really wanted, but Jiggly/Sneasel/Pikachu/Snubbull designs all look slightly too long-haired for me. Movie still looks amazing, I just always imagined short haired pelts on all of them.

Flopsy posted:See Minccino and Cinccino are the concept done right to me. They have a genuinely nifty theme (fashionata wearing their own fur) and a very good ability with the moves to take advantage of it. If pikaclones were more like them and the Marill line I'd probably be more into them. My only wish is that their shiny was closer to the blue gray of the actual animal's fur. You can't convince me that Marrill isn't gen 2's pikaclone. Also Pidgey is the Pidgey of gen 2, not Hoothoot. I will die on that hill

SuperKlaus posted:Is there any trick to catching the Gen 1 legendary birb in X or am I really stuck roaming Kalos forever praying the annoying thing doesn't decide to change routes across the country before I can reach its location? If you're still having trouble with this, yeah there's a trick. Head to the first town (the one with the bug gym - sorry, I forgot its name) and hop on your bike. The upper exit of the town is a gate that is conveniently next to several patches of grass and has no load screen to exit/enter. Put a Pokémon below the birb's level (50 iirc) but above the wild Pokémon of the area's level and use a repel. Bike around in the grass for a bit, cycle down, reset the birb's location, cycle up, repeat. Carry lots of repels. Don't even bother checking the location honestly. Just repeat this process until you get the encounter. I did it three times, one for each birb, and it never takes more than about 20 minutes.

I like the presentation of Pokémon battles in Detective Pikachu. Rather than trainers constantly yelling out commands, it's shown as much more dog-fighty, with the Pokémon apparently using their training to hold their own in the ring. I'm a little annoyed that all of the Pokémon in the movie appear in the various trailers and promos. It becomes obvious about 30 minutes in that they've already used up all their models and just reuse them in background shots. Apparently everyone in Ryme City only have Sneasel, Arcanine, or Audino. There's no attention paid to type advantages but that's probably a good thing. Cute little movie! I really like it

Thanks for the extra info! I didn't think about the Growlithe thing but it makes complete sense. I don't know if you worked on Bulbasaur, but its scene made me tear up.

Xelkelvos posted:Pokemon I think could disappear with the fewest complaints: Mantyke, Delibird, Spinda, the Starly line, Stantler, Volbeat, Illumise, Castform, Heatmor, Unown, Spoink and Grumpig, Solosis line, Elgyem line, and at least a half dozen Legendaries like the Lake trio and most of Gen 5's legends other than its cover Legends I agree with some of these, but Staraptor is the best regional bird next to Talonflame. Banded Reckless double edge destroys even Pokémon that resist it Also, again, intimidate. Which makes me remember, is THIS the generation we get a SpAtk intimidate ability?? I think it's more likely at this point that Gamefreak will just abandon abilities altogether

Blaziken386 posted:this is off topic, but, you know, I really wish there was an online poke battle place that wasn't smogon Sounds like you need to get good I mean, not in a mean way or anything. You just need to be lovely at it long enough before you start understanding the way each meta works. You'll get there. It took me an embarrassingly long time to break out of the 1100-1200 range on the ladder. My current standing is around 1400-1600 depending on the meta, which still isn't great, but it's better! And don't worry about taking your time each turn. Even if they turn the battle timer on you'll have more than enough time to decide.
