I’m still gonna play Pokémon because the game doesn’t look like **** to me, but I will try to stop using it as a coping method for my myriad of issues.

I dunno if I’m good enough to find any new hobbies, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try.

Just the act of trying will help. The key to dealing with stuff is leaning to accept that getting better is getting better, even if it’s in tint increments.

By the way, is Galarian Meowth deconfirmed now?

We saw normal Meowth, but that one leak said Meowth would look like a spiky ball of fur.

Oh dang

Was the affleck leak wrong about something?

No in fact I think the leak is actually backed up by this.
Meowth has not been shown to be In the wild, it’s a mystery gift. Most of the time mystery gift Pokémon at launch will not be available normally. See torchic in XY.

the Aflac leak mentions both long cat Meowth and galarian Meowth. I’m gonna say he’s right. Since normal Meowth this seemingly only a mystery gift, implying a galarian one likely exists based on the leak

Alternatively the reason Galarian Meowth can't Gigantamax is because it's exclusive to Kantonian Meowth, which could be locked to the preorder bonus.

Please play Pokemon and enjoy it. Just don’t use it as a crutch for emotional healing and personal growth.

The panda man origin story



Yeah I know why it happens doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck

I’m not trying to garner sympathy with a sob story, but I really feel the need to explain why this upsets me so much.

Last year I was emotionally traumatized. Without going into detail (because I really don’t want to) my entire worldview of the people I knew and loved was ruined, I was depressed for months, I felt betrayed and weak and vulnerable. And as silly as it sounds the one thing keeping me going was Pokémon. It made me happy in this terrible time, and the promise of a new game in 2019 kept me moving forward to a brighter future.

So to be here, in my long awaited 2019, and this is what I get. It feels like I wasted my time. Like I kept moving forward for nothing.

look, we understand but damn. Not everyone has everything positive to say about Pokemon. Some like it, some dont. Like me and Animal Crossing. Some like it, some dont but I dont get depressed and they ti emotionaly manipulate people when someone says they dont like it.

Affleck leak, not Aflac.

Aflac is the insurance company. The leak is named after Ben Affleck.

TFW you try to style on your opponents just like MKLeo does with Joker, but then realize that you absolutely suck at playing Joker

Magic conch, will I ever be good with Joker?

Well it’s not officially released info. But I knew about this for months, and not of my own volition either. People wouldn’t stop talking to me about it. It’d be kinda unfair to have me immediately lose the bet because of that.

As soon as **** starts really leaking, I’m outta here.

Fair enough. Glad we covered that.

After seeing the new forms, Gigantamax Charizard is kinda cool, Meowth is a funny idea, I’m not feeling the others as much (but it is nice to see Butterfree get something.)

Part of the issue is, as someone said earlier, these forms will be gone in the next main game, so why get attached to them?

Another issue is that, due to their size, you mostly see them with a camera that’s way below them looking up. I get that it’s to make their size more impressive, but, how are we supposed to appreciate their designs from down there? It’s like trying to appreciate the finer points of the architecture of a skyscraper from the ground, looking up at it. Like, you can appreciate the impressiveness of the engineering of it from there, but it isn’t the best viewpoint. Even the official art is posed like that, not just the in-game camera.

I do have to give props to the visual effects for the G-max attacks, though, those are still pretty cool for the most part.

Anyway, I’m still excited to see the new designs, but I’ll probably just watch live-streams of the game rather than get it myself.

The worst thing about Sword and Shield is the fact that it exposed how many people don't know what cormorants are.

So, why didn't they just keep Mega Evolutions and expand on them?

Gigantamax Pokemon are really just Mega Evolutions with slightly less creativity. We went from Black dragon/fire Charizard with blue flames to big charizard with tattoos. Like, I guess wings made of fire are cool? But this does feel like a downgrade from Mega Evolution.

Personally, I think Gigantamax Charizard looks cooler than both of its Mega forms.

Pokemon discussion seems to get you guys more riled up than Smash does...

I’d imagine the Smash discussion would be more intense if we didn’t have Everyone is Here.

Thus, we have the intense discussion about the one Pokemon game that doesn’t have Everyone is Here.

While you guys get heated over Pokemon, I'm waiting for our boy Terrance Bogard Esquire.

I wonder if Crack Shoot will also Spike, because that would be sick, though in some games it works better as an anti-air.

Imagine a world where we had to cut some characters to get the likes of Ridley or K.Rool. It would cause massive salt from for sure. Or how Echoes would be more hated if they didn't bring back literally every character from before.

So, out of curiosity, I took another look at the old leak to see what has been confirmed by now and what hasn't. Namely the Pokemon. Considering the leak's been 100% true up to this point, there's little doubt about its credibility. Of course things can always end up on the chopping block, so it's still wise not to be too hyped about it. Anyway, going what the leak predicted, what we got and what's still up in the air, here's a list of what's still missing (spoilers obviously)
Eternatus (evil legendary)
Giganta Lapras with musical notes
Skwovet and Greedunt (chipmunk Pokemon)
Grooky's final evo is a gorilla with a wooden drum
Scorbunny's final evo looks like a humanoid fighter
Sobble final evo is spy themed

Now there's one thing I'm not sure how to interpret. In the line that mentions regional evolutions (like Sirfetch'd) it does mention a grey, spiky Meowth. Now I'm not sure if it actually refers to Persian or if Galarian Meowths are grey and spiky. Have we seen Meowth in any kind of footage before today? If not, chances are high we will get two Meowths this time, the grey Galar one an the Giganta Kanto one. Though it would be a weird decision, seeing that we also got Alola Meoth just last gen.

Edit: So while I was writing this, suddenly everyone else also started to talk about it. Nice timing.

I kinda want a plush of it.

I like it’s diamonds.

I'd probably buy an official plush if it wasn't too pricey.

Also, please tell me there's someone else besides me who would love for PT's individual Pokemon to get their own unique Final Smashes so Charizard can get this for his?
