Oh also, finished a quick little comic dub with a VO pal of mine!

I like your voice here, very suitable for little freaks.

Yes sir, I enjoy it.

 

[Shroob]

SwSh are still overhated games whose only real faults are the Wild Area being incomplete and the villains being terribly written.

I give the highest of high praises for PLA being a legit good game and Gen9 looking very promising

But SwSh hot dookie

 

[MooMew64]

I will say that I am a SwSh enjoyer.

But if you don't like 'em, more power to ya.

I'm don't have it in me to debate its pros and cons anymore, what more could even be said that isn't repeating the same arguments on both sides at this point lol.

Agree that it's overhated, but I feel like there's some more glaring flaws

 

[Noipoi]

Ehhh the Wild Area is definitely a point of contention, but if you ask me the rest of the region is the problem.

Cuz it's literally just hallways. The entire region is just a pathway. Sometimes it'll wind a bit, sometimes there'll be a dead end here or there. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a straight shot from point A to point B, with zero room for any real explanation.

The plot is stupid, but it's Pokemon. I can ignore the plot if the gameplay backs it up.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

black yellow red blue pink/rose white green purple

…what shall be the next color to use? If there’s any left that is

 

[SharkLord]

this the box:

Players @ their characters when they die in a nuzlocke:

 

[Z25]

Pokémon fans are literally complaining about how much money Pokémon gave for Ukraine, saying it’s not enough.

Yet they sit here and say they don’t out enough of they money into game development.

I will never understand their stupidity.

 

[MooMew64]

Pokémon fans

complaining

The natural order.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Considering Super robot wars tends to not kill off characters in it's anime plot adaptations i half expected them to do the "Space Hospital" bit in their Voltron adaptation lol

So much for “the Hisuian Pokémon are all extinct”

 

[MooMew64]

So much for “the Hisuian Pokémon are all extinct”

PLA spoiler: PLA has time travel and dimensional distortion shenanigans.

These 'Mons probably survived thanks to crossing over into the new region.

 

[cashregister9]

Was there ever any confirmation that "all the Hisuian Pokemon are extinct" or was that just completely made up?

I haven't beaten the PLA post game yet if that has anything to do with it.

As far as I know it's just a theory as to why you don't see Wyrdeer running around.

The true answer will probably just be "Aw ****, the space-time ultra distortion wormhole unleashed all these radical new pokemon into the modern day, which you can acquire with one easy payment of 4.99$"

Who the flip cares about endangered species, I want my Guzzlord in PLA format, he better be in ScarVio

 

[Lamperouge]

Just my luck that Crunchyroll dropped Bakemonogatari a day after I started re-watching it.

Good thing I've got other options, arrr arr arr

 

[Pokelego999]

Spoiler: PLA Daybreak

I initiated a quest from Adaman and then this random Spheal strolled in during the middle of the conversation

He rolled away a little while later and it was the most hilarious **** seeing Adaman going over lore and then there's just Spheal rolling in to say hello

Right now they are having a Jujutsu Kaisen event and had a Sonic and Hatsune Miku event in the past.

And Kenshin too

Extinct can't be 100% the excuse considering scientists are capable of bringing fossils millions of years ago back to life.

I want to believe space-time distortion is at least one factor.

Also, I completely forgot that they referenced this meme in the show:

I spent a good couple of minutes rolling from that.

Well, there's a big thing here.


The fossil Pokemon are just that, fossils. We have records that they existed since we have their fossilized remains.


Likewise, while we may have some carcasses of animals that have died within the last thousand or so years, how many do we actually possess? That, and who's to say that a lot of the documentation for the Hisuian mons existed to the modern era? Something to note is that in BDSP, they added a new book to the Library, and instead of calling it Overquill, they called it a "Big Qwilfish." Meaning it's possible that records of Overquil never made it to the modern era, and scientists simply believe that Overquil really was just a 'big Qwilfish'.



It's a million times easier to get a T-Rex in a museum than it'd be a Dodo I'd have to imagine.

GameFreak explaining why the H-Forms are in Gen 9

 

[Z25]

Honestly Pokemon will probably just go “Wow, this ancient Pokémon were bought up to the new Spanish region years ago, and managed to survive!”

I guess that really does mean that

Fun fact: The context for this article is that a bird went extinct, but it's still-extant ancestor species flew over to the same location and re-evolved the same traits.

This would also imply that Hisuian versions existed in PokeSpain, went extinct, was repopulated with the "normal" variants, and then had them evolve those exact same Hisuian traits

 

[Shroob]

So Attack on Titan is doing NFTs now



I hate it here.

 

[TheMightyP]

That said, I kinda wanna theory craft why certain mons kinda faded away.

So far, I'm thinking

• Scyther adapted to the modern technology laced world, evolving to Scizor. The big and bulky Kleavor was naturally selected out
• Enamorous is still alive but just can't find Unova for whatever reason
• Zoroark are technically dead, and their H-Forms are still around the world, just not Unova in which they're native to.
• Basculegion... white stripes are rare nowadays I guess
• Ursaluna just went extinct since Peat Blocks no longer exist
• Sneasler hates crowds so it secluded itself away from civilization. Those who willingly stayed evolved to modern day Sneasel
• Goodra don't have the minerals to make a shell anymore. Idk.
• Electrode Adapted to modern day Pokeballs
• Growlithe went extinct or just dropped the rock typing thanks to those pesky water types
• Avalugg died thanks to fighting types
• Liligant... gained weight? Idk how her dress works
• Overquil evolved itself out of existence for whatever reason
• Idk on the starters nor Bravairy

Growlithe makes sense


The horn on its head is already fragile, and humans domesticated it like we did to wolves over time.

The starters are stated to be responding to the energy of mount coronet, or something. Maybe it doesn’t have that energy anymore, or at least not as much as it used to.

 

[SharkLord]

• Goodra don't have the minerals to make a shell anymore. Idk.

Honestly I could see that. They've already subjected Corsola to coral bleaching so having it turn out they've also subjected Goodra to ocean(?) acidification wouldn't be that far-fetched

 

[TheMightyP]

Actually, new theory:
H-Avalugg went extinct thanks to the settlers of Snowpoint city bringing in Medidite and Medicham. That's why they're in the snowy routes in DPP and not in PLA

 

[Z25]

Actually, new theory:

My theory is that the routine seismic activity of Regigigias caused enough damage to the minerals around the area, that the icebergs from the icelands shattered. Leaving Avalugg to look like it does today. Just ice, no protective rock layer.

 

[Shroob]

I think the simplest answer as to how they'll re-introduce the Hisuians is either:



lol time/space ****ery

or

"We found this old Pokeball"


Considering there IS a modern-era Pokeball in the code for PLA that's currently unused, along with them already using that premise for promotional material for PLA with Basculegion, it wouldn't surprise me tbh.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Ursaluna just went extinct since Peat Blocks no longer exist

I think it's habitat in game was meant to be the marsh in DPP and by draining out the swamps, Ursaluna no longer has access to peat and thus cannot exist

I guess, if we bring it back then


History will

[ZephyrZ]

Pokemon is one of of those series where the fans take the lore waaaaaay more seriously then the creators ever intended for us to.

It's a funny game about a rat who shoots lightning from its face. They can do whatever they want, for whatever reason they want.

There’s a joke I could make here.

Do I want to risk the thread becoming political-boards for the rest of the night?

Nah, Magcargo is actually hotter than the sun, they just don't destroy all the life on earth because GameFreak is a coward and scared of giving us a post-apocalyptic Pokemon game.
