Who’s that Pokémon?
View attachment 331972

Kind of looks like Gible but doesn’t match up perfectly. I also don’t see why it would be guarding Cleavor.

I could see it being a different Gible (which would be weird because it's a Sinnoh native Pokemon already and we've seen 'em already) or maybe a Larvitar. They seem like decorations anyhow if you ask me.

If you want an answer SwSh wasn't bad. It was just very... mediocre. It's just a Pokemon adventure, but a lot of the fun was removed. No dungeons, majority of routes and caves were just straight hallways, it looked meh to ass graphically, and the story sucked ass, the fun gimmicks were removed in favor for Dynamax which was lame as hell, and of course, the lack of the national dex means a lot of favorites were cut. But it was still Pokemon at it's core, I had fun, but it's not appearing on any top Pokemon games anytime soon. It's better than Gen 6 and 1, but that's a low bar tbh.

I found alot of fun in sword and shield by making a play through with only bug types ( I allowed myself to have secondary types)

it was fun and weirdly easy
kinda made me realize why all the old frumps wanted the "difficulty" back in Pokemon
my team was
vikavolt
golispod
ninjask
orbeetle
centiskorch
skolipede

I liked that gang of weirdos

I'm still just confused earlier about that message.

It's like if I was walking downtown in some place like Rome or Athens and some place suddenly grabbed me and shouted "Join our Irish Club!".
I'd throw them off me, whack them and then give them a Euro for guessing correctly.

Like who the **** does that?

I just saw the new Legends Arceus trailer, and it's looking pretty great! My favorite part is definitely the return of ride Pokémon. I loved the feature in Sun and Moon in particular, and I'm so glad it's coming back in such a satisfying way. Especially the flying one, the Hisuian Braviary, whatever its new name is. It reminds me of the Eon Flute from ORAS. There's a lot more to talk about, but that's all I'm gonna say for now.

I think it’s Gible, but it can’t be a new form because we’ve seen normal Garchomp.

Maybe it’s just a vague statue, like the ones in the Kanto gyms.

I could see it being a different Gible (which would be weird because it's a Sinnoh native Pokemon already and we've seen 'em already) or maybe a Larvitar. They seem like decorations anyhow if you ask me.

I was thinking this, but we see the lab has super detailed Magicarp statues. Now they may have just put more focus into the accuracy of those, but it’s odd for them to do it for a massive statue, then skip details on a smaller and easier to model one.

Which makes me think it could be something, although it could also be nothing.

this is the part where I acknowledge I'm the one weirdo who really liked SwSh lol

Ever since we were graced with Bayonetta 3 last week I've been hooked to Bayo 2's Moon River song.

So damn catchy.

Don’t worry brother you’re not alone

although maybe my only getting into the Pokémon series from the 3ds era onward invalidates any opinion I may ever hold ever about Pokémon as a franchise

I wonder if his ancestor will get washed as well if the trainer picked Oshawott

All Pokémon fans are valid no matter where they started.

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean, I started at Gen 5, the supposed peak of the franchise.


But I did like Gen 7 and 8. Mostly 7 though.

my first game was technically Conquest lol

 

[Noipoi]

I started in gen 5, though a I played a lot of 4 as well. The DS generations were my generations.

I also really love gen 7. Like, more than most people.

Started Pokémon since the very beginning so I've seen and played them all.

It’s weird I didn’t play the ds Pokémon games when at the time I was in elementary school when those games were the hottest they could be in the gritty world of the 2nd grade hallways and if you didn’t have them you were a loser (hint I was a loser)
I was however that kid who had a binder full of Pokémon cards and me and my friend across the street made up a complicated ever changing game to play with them

so while the ds polemon games Werent my games.
the ds Pokémon are my ****ing guys because I collected all their cards I remember I had a awesome luxray card (now my favorite Pokémon) and I always made rules with my friend about how because he looked so gosh dang cool that he would have bonus stats for style

 

[MooMew64]

I know this was responding to Guh, but...

I have extra time this week thanks to my vacation time.

Just for you and Guh, I will do approximately one take (after some warm up of course) of the best 'GUH HUH" I can offer this weekend.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Banjo uses archived audio, but if he didn’t have a voice in Smash, I’d totally do that.

Honestly, I think the issue was mainly just you couldn't skip them. It made replaying SuMo kinda a drag. If there was a skip function, I severely doubt many would care.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Oh, right! And I can also try K. Rool. Maybe Ridley too, if I wanna try some monster sounds-

Yeah, I'll agree on the skip button. But the issie is just the prevelance of cutscenes in general, not the lack of a skip button.

Like, they'd die if they played a Square Enix game

Okay uhhhhh

K Rool. Or do grunts and roars count?

Sun and Moon feels like a visual novel at times with how frequent and long they can be.

 

[Noipoi]

The issues with the S/M cutscenes is that you can’t skip em and they’re a little too frequent.

Like there are a few moments where you get out of a cutscene, take two steps, and enter another cutscene. It’s kinda silly.

So the climbing Pokémon is either a feminine Nuzleaf evolution or Ledian form/evolution since it’s a ladybug.

Is Kleavor a ride Pokémon?

Cuz if not, then maybe Warden’s aren’t all necessarily connected to ride Pokémon.

 

[Shroob]

Prolly a broken record, but have they said anything about transferring these to newer gens?


I know they're bankable, but isn't a main sticking point of them is they more or less died out in modern times?

Kleavor's a noble Pokemon.

Maybe, but it's not like Pokemon is a stranger to 100% reviving creatures from dust and bonea

 

[Noipoi]

Right.

So the “lady Pokémon” could either be the climber, or some other noble Pokémon we haven’t seen yet.

They’ll find some way to explain away how they’re here in the present. I don’t expect these guys to be game locked.

At least any more than common Pokémon are game locked

Thank you for reminding me that I need to finish that.

Yeah, but the bigger question is how to obtain these going forward. Outside of trading up from Legends, there doesn't seem like any convenient ways to get these, like, in-gift Pokemon can only go soo far.
