[Aetheri]

So the current options I have for my upcoming poll feature the following Pokemon.

Scyther
Kabutops
Garchomp
Gallade
Bisharp
Escavalier
Lurantis
Kartana

Like I previously mentioned, this next poll will focus on favorite arm-blade Pokemon. That said, are there any Pokemon that should still be added? Any Pokemon from the list that should be removed?

I'm currently debating on how I should approach Garchomp for this poll. I know its Mega Evolution has scythes for hands, but its normal variant mainly has claws and fins on its arm. Would you prefer one of the poll options to specifically list Garchomp or its Mega variant?

What about Sceptile and Leavanny?

I feel like Mega Garchomp specifically as regular Garchomp has claws and fins more than blades....

I have learned that Magearna has NO Shiny coloring, it's identical to it's regular coloring

Does Kricketune count as one?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Does Kricketune count as one?

Technically it has bows, and not blades

Maybe it should count for a ranged fighter

My rotation team is getting pretty big....

Oh well... Can't say I don't have variety.

If you are using a pokemon that only evolves in a certain area I am willing to evolve it if you want like I offered that other guy

(I can also make any pokemon you want shiny now, not through PKHeX, but it won't count as your pokemon anymore so you can't rename it and it'll get increased XP in battle)

Gonna say this. Despite 2016 being a bad year for most, it was actually pretty decent for me. Much better than the previous 3 years which weren't too kind to me.

I figure both 2015 and 2016 felt like "extensions" of 2014 for me, since that's currently the last year in which I did a bunch of new things and all. They have been mixed bags on my end, but I think 2016 has been the only decent leap year I've dealt with so far. It's pretty much just that-- decent. Not that great, but not that bad either... like the year that came before it. I can even say they were a "filler" type of years, with little to nothing actually going on for them (in regards to my interests, of course). This is actually the first year in which I fully ditched the traditional method of drawing for digital art, although I don't know if I should go back to pencil and paper. Who knows?

The year started off fine, feeling like a 2015 2.0 of sorts. I checked out what was going on at CES as usual and then nothing really interesting came up until the last batch of DLC released. The months flew by, and everything pretty much went downhill on my end during the middle of the year. But I kept on doing the same old stuff as before, anyways. Like I had mentioned a year ago, there were two things I was keeping an eye on this year: the Windows 10 Anniversary Update and the Switch reveal. With both being old news by now, there's not much I can say about it. Fortunately, the Switch gets pricing information next month and launches in March, so that's something I'd look forward to next. Windows 10 is supposed to be getting two big updates too, so there's that as well.

Past leap years, particularly the last two, haven't been great on my end, so 2016 standing out from them is something. As for personal stuff, it was just okay, I guess, but I generally don't post anything about that. 2016 has been an alright year, but since it isn't a video game, I can't give it a 7.8/10.

 

[Erureido]

What about Sceptile and Leavanny?

I feel like Mega Garchomp specifically as regular Garchomp has claws and fins more than blades....

Forgot about Sceptile, but I can definitely see it.

Leavanny was someone I never considered as an "arm blade" Pokemon before, but now that I look at it, those leaves are viewed as "cutters" according to dex, so I'll have to think this through.

Does Kricketune count as one?

Now that you mention, I think it does. Its arms are said to be "knife-like", so I think it's another one I'll have to think about.

------

So here's the updated list of arm blade Pokemon:

Definitive:
Scyther
Kabutops
Sceptile
Mega Garchomp
Gallade
Pawniard
Bisharp
Escavalier
Fomantis
Lurantis
Kartana

In Question:
Kricketune
Leavanny

Are there still some missing Pokemon on the definitive list, or should one/some be removed?

Also, while I'm leaning toward adding Kricketune and Leavanny to the poll options at the moment, I want to hear everyone's input: would you consider Kricketune and Leavanny to be arm blade Pokemon?

I think it's more questionable, but what about Genesect

 

[Delzethin]

I've been busting my ass the last few days. If I can pull this off, then later today, things might start looking up.

Fingers crossed.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Trying to catch a pokemon with a .4% catch rate with essentially a pokeball

Edit: I just traded for one online

I wanted one in a Heavy Ball. Beldum is too light to get a bonus from heavy ball

It has a SUPER LOW chance.

Luckily, someone had it online

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

I just accidentally used a Lure Ball on a random Snorunt.

And then discovered I can't get more.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Heavy Ball is one of my most used balls, so I was able to get a lot of them by trading from my other game

I like Rock and Steel pokemon in it. And apparently I like capturing a lot of rock and steel pokemon

I also have an Emboar in one, lol

I've NEVER used a Lure ball before

 

[Mythra]

Apricorns in this game are like Master Balls for me; probably I'll never use one.
Except the Moon Ball, that was used on Lunala.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I caught Grimer and Minior in a moon ball.

Wish I caught Lunala in one

I could always reset my moon version and retry it. I was going to reset it eventually anyway

 

[Deleted member]

I used my Lure Ball on a random fishing mon (Don't remember which one)
I mean, it IS one of the least useful Johto Balls

 

[Kirby Dragons]

No to Kricketune, yes to Leavanny. After that, there's no one you need to add.

Hello folks.

Remember this will be the very first thing we must do at the beginning of 2017:

Also, I've just discovered an interesting theory on what could be the Ultra Beasts' inspiration:

Spoiler

The 7 deadly sins.

I think we can all agree 2016 sucked hard

(That theory, EVERYONE came up with it)

http://aminoapps.com/page/pokemon/9403296/ultra-beasts-the-seven-deadly-sins

That theory was everywhere when UB-05 Glutton was revealed
Like, I'm pretty sure it was intentional because each one of them fits each sin to a T and there isn't one that you have to reach out to make the connection
Also, to elaborate a little more:

Spoiler

Necrozma could be the eight sin if it really is an Ultra Beast, though if it really is, we'd find that out in "Stars" or whatever the next game will be called

From TV Tropes
"Orthodox Christianity, interestingly, adds an eighth sin: Despair. You often hear people talking about "succumbing to the eighth deadly sin" in old Russian novels as a result"

My team started to be quite overleveled, so I turned Exp. Share off for some time.

Beat Acerola's trial. It was easy, but quite fun. That Gastly playing with the cash strap was adorable.

Totem Mimikyu wasn't a challenge: after getting rid of it's Disguise, Decidueye's Sinister Arrow Raid managed to OHKO it (although it and Haunter did almost manage to knock Decidueye out).

I've had five wild Pokemon to visit Poke Pelago, but so far only Kadabra has decided to stay....

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Yeah, the Heavy Balls I had didn't do jack to get a Beldum for me. Ultra Balls were very ineffective. I eventually caught it with a Pokeball only. I raised an eyebrow at that. Take Down being a move did not freaking help at all. Nor does Struggle. I wish it had Rock Head as an ability, honestly. Would help a lot.

 

[Burruni]

All these happy family pictures in one month without seeing a single "walk-in" joke. And for a popular series too. Quite impressive. Or have I been avoiding the right places?

I've seen Kukui walking in on Masked Royal and his wife..
That's it.

I just realised today is December 28th, 2016
You know what that means?

Just beat Sophocles' trial. It was... interesting, but not hard.
Totem Vikavolt would've been annoying thanks to Thunder Wave-spamming Charjabug, but high affection level apparently made Salazzle immune to paralysis.

This has been a cruel year for Star Wars fans. RIP Carrie Fisher.

Spoiler

I picked Popplio, so Ilmia, Hala, Olivia, Kiawe, and Nanu's match weren't a problem. Sophicles wasn't that heard indeed.

@Shishœ: Yeah, that's considered NSFW(borderline enough that it's inappropriate). Please remove it.

 

[Chandeelure]

Does somebody here know how to use Pokemon "hacks"?

I would like to edit my Pyukumuku, because it's level 100 and I wasted a lot of time and Bottle Caps in it, but it has Innards Out.

Can someone edit it for me? XD

 

[Deleted member]

Been starting my list with Star vs. The Forces of Evil, season 2 has not disappointed me so far, in fact, I'd say this is much better than the first.
And I can see where the "Marco is trans" theory comes from, season 1 had, like, 0 hints but the first episode of S2 already hints at it and later Marco outright states he(or I guess, she) would like to be a queen.

Decided to try My Hero Academia. My god is this **** great

SHE HAS BEEN CONVERTED
The pacing is very slow but it's still pretty good. You even got Zuko, Captain Falcon and Hand Fetish Villain #2
Now watch Bungou you nerd

 

[Erureido]

I think it's more questionable, but what about Genesect

I think it's arms are more like claws than to blades, scythes, knifes, spears, etc. It's a similar situation to Armaldo.

Scyther
Kabutops

Kartana

Anyone else I'm forgetting, or is this list set?

Also **** you I've been meaning to watch MHA since it started but I kept procrastinating

Yes, it's the one with the pay 2 win power
It also has authors as characters, 「STANDS」, gay japanese Sherlock Holmes and Cthulhu
Wait, I think this explains it better

Obligatory language warning cause I ain't editing a pic because of one use of the word ****ty

But real talk though, season 1 is mostly boring and only serves to introduce characters and their powers
**** gets better by episode 8 thanks to a magical device known as plot progression and two new characters being introduced, and damn is episode 10 good
But holy **** nothing compares to how good season 2 is: the first 4 episodes are like if The Godfather and Xenoblade Chronicles had a baby and the Guild arc is just a big improvement from the first season with actual character development, enjoyable new characters, being able to understand the literature references, kick-ass fight scenes and shipping

Well there is the pokeball colored one but yeah, thats not shiny

Both not so much. They have pincers rather than blades.

I hope you watch the anime first and then the manga for more further stories. Maybe you already did, it is great. I watch the anime when it first came out this year. At first it was average, but later episode was great. And then recent stories were like so awesome.
