I heard a rumor that there might be armor items that reduce or outright negate certain Pokemons' elemental weaknesses.

I'm just disappointed that after all this time they didn't make an Electric/Steel form based on a moment from the Adventure manga when Rotom possessed an action figure.

Colosseum and XD weren't made by Game Freak. That explains most of it I'd say.

It's obvious what the solution is: have Game Freak remake those 2 games and then they can be bumped up to mainline status!


Zuzie posted:

At this point, they've made a distinction that Mythicals (who are usually aren't available in-game) aren't the same as Legendaries (who usually are available for capture in-game). Also with the introduction of Meltan, who is classed as a Mythical, I think its safe to say that Phione is a Mythical and not a Legendary.

It would be nice if we had official confirmation though.

Do you know if there's a term that covers both Legendary Pokemon and Mythical Pokemon?

"Ultra Beast" is a term in the same way that "starter", "fossil", "Legendary" and "Mythical" are. They're all used to classify and organize Pokémon into different groups based on common factors like how they're obtained and their general strength.

What about Pseudo-Legendary?

I was thinking about several things and an amusing thought came to me. First was whether or not the gen 4 remakes would come out in gen 8, then that rumor about armor items being introduced, and that's when it clicked for me. If armor is being made for Pokemon, then what material would that armor be made from? Arceus' plates! Yes, it would turn out that those plates were once part of a whole suit of armor that Arceus wore but was destroyed and its pieces fell upon the Earth. I even have a name for that original armor: the Infinity Armor.

Silver2195 posted:

Speaking of Eeveelutions and Pokemon names, what should the English names of the inevitable Eeveelutions for the remaining types be? While a lot of the existing ones are just a word associated with the type + Eon rather than actual wordplay, most of them at least sound good (with Leafeon being the exception), and I like the way Flareon can be read as either Flare + Eon or Flare + On. My ideas:

  • Drageon (Dragon, obviously)
  • Ireon (Steel)
  • Litheon (Rock, has a lithe body)
  • Spectreon (Ghost)
  • Zephreon (Flying)
  • Geon (Ground)
  • Muscleon (Fighting)
  • Musiceon (Normal, playing on "musician")
  • Veneon (Poison)
  • Hiveon (Bug)

Some of these are probably really bad, but I'm not sure which ones.
How did you miss Champeon for Fighting?

It's from the Pokemon Adventures manga. I think the Rhyperior thing is in the HG/SS arc when he gives Silver the means to make it or something.

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 got an idea: you have each one fight as many random battles as possible without any healing and whichever one wins the most fights stays.

The only thing 2nd gen really has going for it is the story of Team Rocket trying to force evolution, which Lance must have done since all three of his Dragonites are below the level that Dragonair evolves.

My headcanon when I was a kid was that Lance wasn't training his Pokemon since he's champion/elite 4, they got lazy, and their levels slipped down because of that.

I doubt they would ever do such a mechanic, but I imagined a system where leaving a Pokemon in the box for too long caused them to become out of shape and lazy. They would lose a maximum of 20 levels and attacks work 50% of the time and you either have to whip them back to shape yourself with much anguish and yelling at them or put them in daycare/a specialist to fix them.

When I heard about Tobias and his deal, I wondered about the other Pokemon he had. It seemed like he had a theme of Legendary duos, so naturally I assumed he had Lugia or Ho-oh.

LGPE are confirmed mainline games themselves.

They're the remake entries for gen VII, following FRLG in gen III, HGSS in gen IV and ORAS in gen VI.

If they don't remake gen 4 for gen 8, can we expect a LG style remake for Crystal?

Zore posted:

Kinda? They changed the mechanics pretty massively and aren't compatible with any other mainline entry for transferring Pokemon to/from so that's a bizarre distinction the Pokemon company made. And we still don't even have any confirmation we'll be able to transfer the Pokemon within to Gen VIII games.

I am curious to see if anything from LG actually makes it into Gen VIII because most of the obvious stuff (on field encounters, following pokemon, Go Style catching) was totally absent from the small preview we got.

Like why don't Colloseum or XD count as mainline if LGP/E do?

Only Game Freak games are mainline.
