Thanks to ZephyrZ ZephyrZ , my national dex is complete.

At least until the DLC rolls around, that is. I pray that the version exclusive paradox Pokémon won't be too annoying to get.

Also I still need to get every Alcremie form, but other than that I'm only missing some event exclusive forms for my forms dex

Aaaaand I just got one of those event exclusive forms as a reward for filling the national dex. Original color Magearna.

It's purely cosmetic and yet I'm extremely excited to have it

Catchup time!
  • Detective Pikachu Returns still looks good. Eager to play it.
  • Stadium 2? Nice!
  • The two animations seem neat
  • The SV DLC looks good
  • New Mons designs are FIRE!
  • Was expecting Teal Mask to drop sooner but still fine I guess
Pretty good Direct 7/10

With Pokémon Stadium 2 now on Switch, time for a fun fact: The Japanese release (they call it Pokémon Stadium GS) can actually identify the 1997 Gold prototype as final Gold. However, you can't do anything with it in the game beyond that.

Also applin and duralidon getting new evolutions, means any Pokémon with a gmax form is fair game for one.

I’d also wager this opens the door for mons that had megas to get normal evolutions.

Dreadnaw evolution when?

There is quite a big focus on clefairy this dlc.

It’s the main trainers signature Pokémon in these trailers.

fits the tone of the dlc.

clefable is a shop assistant or medical assistant.

and we are getting a spotlight event where clefairy will spawn in outbreaks more.

combine that with the focus on the full moon in every shot….

and the Khu riddle.

what if clefairy has an alternate evolution or clefable has one when exposed to a blood moon? Dark fairy maybe?

Maybe as ceratopsian-like in appearance?
(Face plate and yellow crest being horns and frill)

Or maybe looking like Stegosaurus with its gray plates.
Not a dinosaur, but I think making it a dimetridon would be a fun design decision. The smoke on it's back could be adapted into a sort of sail.

That's an...oddly specific thing for a stadium card to do.

Also Gamefreak decided to pay the actor for pikachu to recap the first game sort of and ignored any port mention.

I guess they said screw it and stopped trying with a port lol.

Game gonna sell so bad most likely.

If you're talking about Detective Pikachu Returns, I'm mainly worried about any confusion regarding how it's not a sequel to the movie, since it was way more popular than the 3DS game in the first place.

It's funny that Gamefreak had the foresight to scrub dex entries for the new Pokemon


Yet over 200 just, got through somehow.

Just saw Barbie

It was really good. It was Hilarious and emotional, every actor was on point, and it was just a really well made movie that had me smiling throughout.

Honestly they were probably just lazy. Why scrub 220 Pokémon out, when you could cut the 20 or so new ones and save time.

It's a shame as i really liked the first game. I thought they'd make some effort of some kind to port a game that released at the end of a console's life cycle.

I hope in-game it provides enough context to make up for it.

The latest Sakurai video states that Super Smash Bros. merchandise of any kind is generally prohibited, with the exception of amiibo, free giveaways, and limited edition items.

That sucks

I mean I would imagine it would be a licensing nightmare
The Smash amiibo are already a licensing nightmare for first-party titles. WarioWare Gold's amiibo sketch feature couldn't detect every single first-party character (Pokemon, FE characters, Pit, and this is despite having Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem microgames and being compatible with Palutena), and its amiibo entry in its Nintendo museum has to use the Wario amiibo from the Super Mario line instead of the one that features, you know, his WW design.

iirc only two games actually worked with every amiibo up until it's release, and that was Mario Maker and Kirby Robobot.

Even then, the Pokemon amiibo costumes in Mario Maker didn't even have proper sound effects and they never patched them in despite having the Gen 1 starters which did come with proper sfx.
