Nothing really happened, other than a lot of leveling up. I did battle Maylene, and won on my first try. The fact that she had a :lucario: surprised me. Childhood now knows Rollout, Magnitude, and Selfdestruct.

I actually kinda like Delphox, hated it initially but the RPG classes theming is enough for me to like the 3 XY starters
Just wish it would have a bigger type coverage to fit better with the Dark Mage theme
I can see the entire Pokemon fandom going "New Weapons Soldier Scream" if/when the dreaded Fighting type is attached.

It made SOME sense in gens 3-5 as it gave them a type advantage against rock types without adding any double weaknesses but there's not gyms so that reason shouldn't fly.
I doubt it was because of type matchups
GF doesn't care about 4x like fans do nor did BW have any Rock
the sulfur symbol graphically makes no sense
Fans misinterpret something wrong and get disappointed when it's provwn wrong, exhibit #16079
Its up, boyos
Took them long enough

Also, in how many hours should we expect CoroCoro leaks?

It was just asked what our favorite pokemon each gen was 2 months ago lol.

I suppose that IS a long time but it just more proof we go around in circles here

Gen 1: :034:
Gen 2: :153:
Gen 3: Gardevoir
Gen 4: Torterra (as much as I love gallade and Luxray. . .)
Gen 5: Krookodile
Gen 6: Hawlucha
Gen 7: Muddsdale, with Alolan Raichu being an honorable mention.

:061:
More like its more proof how little there is to talk about without repeating topics...

Nintendo fix this please with some NX news!!!

Gen 3: Blaziken (Solrock's there too)

Gen 4: Garchomp

Derrick was sick and unable to post it sooner.

And Corocoro should leak in 4-5 hours earliest.

I saw this and for a second I thought it was Perry the Platypus on steroids.



>u< Yay, I love Ray-Ray too.
Ray-Ray is the first Chinese-Dragon-like pokémon, how could anyone hate him? Plus he's the all-mighty ruler of the sky.

And Machamp sure got prettier with time.

And even better, he's basically Pokemon's Quetzalcoatl/Kukulkan, one of the most important deities in Aztec/Mayan mythology, that's what made me love him the first place, xD I have drawn him a couple of times with Quetzalcoatl himself for fun, and also with Rids since they are dragon best buddies in my head.

This is one of the drawings.

O_O Uh...I have to agree with you on that...

It's true that Quetzalcoatl is pretty amazing too. Since Ray looks like both a Chinese Dragon and an awesome deity, it's logic to think he's incredibly awesome.

I personally like Delphox. But the fanbase likes Braxien over Delphox. T'was all I was saying.
Ah, I misunderstood.
*looks over at rest of fanbase that dislikes Delphox*
I ain't through with you people yet.

All aboard the Ray-Ray love train.
Sorry Salamence, but you gotta take a close second, he's king of the skies after all.
He's also one of the three pokemon tied for my favorite of all time, alongside OF Giratina and Mewtwo.
I find that picture much more amusing than it should be. I blame the mouth for having such an adorably lovable expression.

Today was National Coming Out Day all along. And all it took was one Hilary related Twitter post to realize that.

I should be personally ashamed as a bisexual for forgetting about such an event.

xD Which I also find cool in a way is that in that SMITE game, there's a playable Kukulkan, but there's an alternate appearance for it that looks like a fusion between Quetz and Ray-Ray:
It doesn't look bad per se, BUT I HATE HIS FREAKIN' VOICE, xD If he could just shut up, that would be great. One of the lines he says on purpose to make it even more clear of both inspirations is this one "Catch me? Don't be ridiculous!"

xD Yeah, Ray-Ray had stayed as my favorite pokemon for the longest time, and with one of the most amazing Mega Evolutions even if people call it OP, it's even better!

:p Hehe, I saw that pic some time back, and I thought the same! I just had to look for it!

All this talk of Pokemon, kinda particularly Rayquaza, made me remember my favorite moment from the Delta Episode, and one of my favorite moments from the Pokemon games as a whole:

I never got to the Delta episode.

Mainly on the fact that Hoenn is a boring part of the Pokemon series.

Not only that, but my favorite Pokémon GO Spark artists seems to have celebrated National Coming Out Day much earlier.

This is why we can't have the nice things. Except for sweet fluffy creamy cake.

Now I want to sneak out and buy me a cake this late at night.

Rayquaza's based on Quetzalcoatl? Never knew.
I kinda just assumed it was just some kind of dragon interpretation of Ziz to go with Groudon (Behemoth) and Kyogre (Leviathan).
Nice to see multiple layers of design going into a single Pokemon. The origins of Pokemon design are usually fascinating and Rayquaza is certainly no exception.

I was bored and decided to go over to Serebii to read over the new Pokémon again and I can't believe I missed this little tidbit about Oranguru:
Serebii said:
Oranguru live solitary lives deep in the forests and do not usually take much action. Instead, they position themselves high up in the trees to meditate. Long ago, people thought that Oranguru were humans who dwelled in the forest depths, so they called them “the people of the forests.” Oranguru is kind to the other Pokémon living in the forest, providing medicine for injured Pokémon and food for the hungry. Oranguru sometimes act on their own initiative and will use items that only humans normally use. From a Trainer’s perspective, they can be hard Pokémon to handle at times. Allegedly, there have been sightings of Oranguru using Poké Balls! The fan-like objects held by Oranguru are handmade by the Oranguru themselves. These fans appear to be made of layers of leaves bound together with Oranguru’s own fur.
Pokémon Pokémon Trainer Oranguru wants to fight!

I just want to point out that Rayquaza is my favourite Legendary Pokemon...and Mega Rayquaza is my favourite Mega Evolution...He's so awesome he needed his own tier :p

Rayquaza for the most part is based on the biblical Ziz...which is the Sky counterpart to the Behemoth and Leviathan...although it's appearance is based off of chinese dragons and somewhat off of Quetzalcoatl...Ziz is more griffin-like in appearance...

Inb4 "too soon" because of Finding Dory.
