Was thinking something with Plasma in Black...

The grunts were threatening to my take my pokemon BY FORCE....*sends out a Patrat*...

"Ohhh....nooo...."
Weren't there some Team Galactic grunts in Eternia City that were mugging people for their 'mons?

Yes you terrifying muggers, continue to send out your Zubat. I definitely won't kick your butts with a couple of fledgling birds and a lion cub.

So I rewatched the Generations trailer after seeing the first two episodes, and wow.

Most of the trailer contents were seen today. As far as extrapolating what other episodes we'll see, here's my analysis of what was left from the trailer.

- A shot of Giovanni in front of city-like lights, different than any shot from episode two. Likely a follow up Giovanni episode.
- Lance battling the Red Gyarados. Likely an episode itself.
- Shot of the Legendary Beasts. Likely a Morty/Eusine episode maybe?
- Stat Trainer episode, seeing as we see Cheryl and her Chansey, as well as what appears to be Buck's Claydol vs Heatran.
- One shot in the opening looks kinda like N's Castle, which is likely our N episode.

And going off the poster...

- Groudon vs Kyogre episode
- Spear Pillar episode focused on Cyrus
- Team Flare/Lysandre episode.

And considering these are weekly until around December IIRC, we still have some surprises I think, so that leads me to my follow up.

What types of episodes would you like to see Generations do?

Personally? A philosophical episode narrated by Steven that illustrates his thoughts meeting Latios and Latias with Brandon and defending Latios/Latias from Team Magma/Aqua. Steven seems like the best champion to do some digging into Poke-philosophy.

. . .Maybe an episode covering the specific details of what happened with the creation of Genesect? Was always kind of curious about it since the most we get is "Team Plasma's scientists did it by reviving a fossil and modding it." . . .uh. . .why? And where did they even get the revival equipment from? How exactly did they mod it like that?

That'd also put to rest the debate over whether or not it was a Kabutops they modified.

Quick question, what Gen 7 Pokemon, original or Alolan of previous form do you want in Smash? It doesn't have to be playable.

Mine would be Alolan Exeggutor that basically acts as a wall for about 10 second and then it smacks its head on the ground for massive KO power.
For a Poke Ball summon, I'd go with new ones like Pyukumuku - similar functionality to Wobbuffet or Spewpa; hit it and get a fist full of guts-punch. Mimikyu could also work, but I think having it in the background is fine enough. If I were to choose a playable Gen VII Pokémon, I think I might go for Rowlett's final evolution as a playable character. Could be interesting to see a flight and archery based fighter in Smash Bros. And I'll get around to seeing the Generations videos a bit later - They seem awesome from what I'm hearing so far.





This is why the world was created.
:061:
And this is the first thing I see when I skip a head a few pages. This is greato da-ze.

Hope it's the latter, never was a fan of that theory.
I mean, I think it makes enough sense. The only oddity really is the toe count and the fact that Genesect is segmented while Kabutops isn't, though both could be explained if the fossil they used was incomplete (missing toe bones/a rib segment, etc).


But I'm pretty neutral about the theory. It'd be nice to get confirmation one way or the other though.

Somehow I get the feeling Generations is just gonna be about Red while at the same time acting as a background player while other plot is happening.

Close, Team Rocket comes in and throws down a giant cage, thus making the battle a cage match.

Winner takes home 1 million and the championship belt. It's also broadcaster on the TR channel: PWTN. (Pokemon World tournament Network)

I'm still hoping for Eternal Flower Floette will be released for Sun & Moon (like the Zygarde moves Thousand Arrows & Thousand Waves).

If not, it'll be the 2nd form of a Pokémon to never be released (the first being ???-Type Arcues)

Theory time...
Warning: contains probably a lot of useless jabbering as this theory is a bit of a reach...but if you like talk of Norse folklore...

When it comes to Lugarugan and his two forms...one when it is bathed in the rays of the sun and the other when full of the night's power...
It is however rather interesting that Rockruff evolves into a wolf of two different forms based on sun and moon...of course it is very possible this could play on how werewolves are alternate forms, but at the same time I feel they may be loosely based off of two specific wolves, who are also associated with the Sun and Moon...

Sköll and Hati from Norse Mythology...


In Norse folklore they are a pair of monstrous wolves who are depicted chasing the chariots that carry Sol and Mani, the Sun and the Moon...During Ragnarok they would eventually catch and devour their prey...

Interpretations and translations vary between which wolf follows which, though it seems Skoll chases Sol (the Sun) and Hati chases Mani (the Moon)...It is also believed that these two are not only connected with Fenrir but are in fact his children...

Now take everything with a grain of salt as everything is a bit of a stretch since this theory is counting on how much Lugarugan is influenced by the legends of Skoll and Hati...as well as Zygarde taking inspiration from the Children of Loki...

As we all know Zygarde has some, rather strange forms...From a monstrous humanoid, to a draconic serpent, to a bunch of little worm-like cells and cores...but Zygarde 10% does indeed stand out rather strangely being very dog-like in appearance...

It is believed that the 10%, 50% and Complete forms are based on the monstrous Children of Loki, with 10% being based on Fenrir specifically...the Green Leash on it's neck may be a reference to Gliepnir which is the binding placed on Fenrir from the gods, not to mention 10% being the weakest of the three may reference that Fenrir is in a weakened state due to his binding...

Now I know what you're thinking 'So Rockruff and Lugarugan are the offspring of Zygarde 10%' and I don't think that's the case...though this theory is moreso based on the premise that Lugarugan's forms may have a possible connection with Zygarde...possibly...maybe a small connection...as said there's not much to go on...of course finding an excuse to talk about Norse Mythology is always a good excuse for me though I do think it's possible that Lugarugan may be loosely based off of Skoll and Hati if not have a connection to Zygarde...

You mean like the one in the Smash 4 forums back in the day?
Sure.


Edit: Provided it doesn't end up a dumping ground for KnowYourMeme pictures. Which is what killed the former.

Definitely that diamond kid. He's the least talked about protag so he snapped.
I can actually envision that in my head lol. I assume this sets up the Red VS Lucas feud where Red goes to Sinnoh to get his revenge.

Alright I gotta stop before I kill this joke dead. Non-wrestling fans are looking at this convo like "da faq is dis?"

To their defense, she is above a pool of water.

But yeah, I remember the old Pokemon having rather savage lines and being a bit on the dark side at some points, even with a couple episodes being censored.
