Ya know didn't Zinnia canonically have a child.


Don't like how she's looking at him with them eyes rn.

Idk if she does but uh I don't see a ring on that finger. So something something I wish I was him yadda yadda laugh NOW

I didn't realize that was Zinnia

Apparently one tomboy gf isn't enough for Ruby

 

[TheMightyP]

Speaking of, do y'all think they're ever gonna do more with Zinnia?

They should tbh. They won't but they should.

Complete Industry Shutdown.

good, Hollywood is ****ed. They aren’t just going lose money in no actors or writers, but they continue to lose money due to no productions, projects shut down mid development, stocks plummeting, etc. they will lose billons a day and be forced to wake up and listen.

Something that hopefully sets a precedent in other industries that you can not get away with abuse or Mis-treatment of your employees.

Sucks Deadpool will shut down but it’s a fair trade off.

Dynamax Adventure should be used as a form of torture

If you think it’s bad now, I did like 600+ raids to get shiny Zygarde from it. Took about a year and while I lost a lot, I also won most of them with no shiny zygarde. It was maddening, but I’m glad I got mine.

Compromise.

You get Zinnia content, I get more Hex Maniac content.

I got 0 shiny legendaries so far. Not looking for any but it would be nice if my seventh Mesprit had anything to distinguish it from the 6 others I have

I could be wrong but I think Aster is named after her kid or her sister in the manga iirc. I have t read it, but I know it dives more into the backstory of her people and the Rayquaza storyline.

I also know that Rayquaza ends up killing zinnia

Tragic that Gen six gave us two really unique characters in Emma and Zinnia and did nothing with them after. Like Emma could have easily been apart of the Ultra Beast team Looker had.

At least they both are in Pokémon masters and zinnia even has a few alts so far.

Goth chick with a cute design and bad social skills.


That and they decided to make her a milk vendor in gen 6 so the jokes wrote themselves.

I don't think she dies but she does get impaled

I slept in till 10, im a wreck rn, good morning

I'm pretty sure Zinnia is a teen in the games so if she had a kid in the manga that's kinda weird, but the manga is its own continuity so....

Yeah I still don't see it.

Her age isn't specified (and tbh I always saw her as an adult). Even then, it's not out of the ordinary for teenagers to have children.

 

[Shroob]

Look all I'm saying is I ain't scared of no ghost.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Oh really? Huh.

I coulda sworn a Team Aqua/Magma grunt called her a kid in the games but maybe I'm crazy.

Or maybe they were just being condescending.

 

[TheMightyP]

Give me a moment

...huh it's just majority children on this list, lets see...

Here's someone age appropiate for you

tbh the frontpage article about the Build-a-Bear Sprigatito made it seem like today was a slow news day since no other BAB Pokemon got articles

but then

I believe she dies but gets resurrected later.

I always felt like she’s meant to be an adult.

She’s the last of her kind and has been implied to be alive for a decent amount of time after the rest of her people died, she gets drafted as a grunt( which I imagine they don’t recruit children), Steven calls her a woman in the games and even in masters, and she looks pretty older then the protags. Plus iirc she kinda talks down to others like she thinks or is older then them.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I will love this well...the April design aside

Did not expect to hear today that Zinnia becomes Marcy Wu from Amphibia

Dynamax Adventure should be used as a form of torture

I shiny hinted Zygarde a few years ago. It was awful.

I got to a point where I could accurately predict just about every move the AI partners would make. You think this would be useful, but it only made things even more frustrating.

They usually didn’t pick good moves

Tera Raids are busted as ****, but the partners aren’t completely useless anymore. And when they faint it doesn’t affect the timer. Those are definite improvements.

Shiny Hunters ready to spend 910291 hours on a game they can no longer enjoy (they need a cosmetic difference where the monster is one shade lighter than normal)

I get a dopamine hit for ten seconds and bragging rights with other people who don’t touch grass.

It’s worth it

Funnily enough Brenda Song does voice Anne in Amphibia.

Whoever at Gamefreak said let’s make the AI switch their Pokémon every round, deserves to be left out of all future creative conversations. Especially since if all 4 people wanted to change their Pokémon at once, it literally breaks the game and you either get booted from the raid, or no one gets to keep the Pokémon because it was too much effort to code in a random selection between 4 people.

Granted playing with real people wasn’t much better half the time. You always had that one stupid person who said “let’s drop this ice type and grab the karkoal, because reflect will save this middle form pokemon from its X4 weak to ground”

The beauty of Indie games is that they might come out when you least expect it.

 

[TheMightyP]

I don't think there's ever been a truly bad Pokemon game.

Like at worst, it's painfully mid, at it's best it's peak. And the issue with modern Pokemon (Gen 5 onwards) is that it keeps flip-flopping between the two with no consistency.

The news of Shantae Advance becoming a reality is giving me the urge to get Shantae 2-4 on Switch. I already own them on 3DS or Wii U but might as well have the complete set on a single console.
