Honestly I really hope Charizard doesn't get a Z form. Its two existing megas are already really good and I'm just tired of Zard being the fandom's punching bag. There's this narrative being pushed that nobody except genwunners even likes Charizard and that's just not true, but I don't blame people from being a bit burnt out by over exposure.

Now Mewtwo on the other hand...I really do want a third mega form for it just because I'm so disappointed with the two we already have. Neither really represents what I like about Mewtwo and so they both kinda fall flat to me.

But tbh even if they had Mega Z forms planned that got scrapped with the game...I think we would have seen them in Sun/Moon or Let's Go. They've already been given very special treatment by being given two mega forms already. Sure even by GF standards 3 is excessive. But then again Gigantamax Zard is still a thing so who knows?

Me: Y'know, I haven't touched Generation V in a while. And I love playing as TEAM FLORA. Maybe I could do a mono-grass run of White.
Me: remembers the PAAAAAIIIIIIINFUL pre-gym 1 earlygame where all you get is a starter, normal types, Purrloin and a monkey that covers your weakness. Leaving me stuck with just Snivy in a mono-grass run. Heck it's not until PINWHEEL FOREST where I can catch more grass-types.
Me: On second thought I think I'll just see if I can get my hands on BW2 at some point. Too bad they cost more than a car.

Never grabbed them.

Ooh that is a MEGA OOF.

I happened to find a cartridge of Diamond a few years back in my nearby retro game shop (haven't actually gone there in a while) and I bought it immediately as it was fairly cheap. That and White 2 are the only DS era games I actually own. Everything else is on my flashcart.

Of course my Diamond copy is basically worthless now because say what you will about the BDSP, I would legitimately prefer to play them over OG DP. Platinum is a different story though

I wanna say that the Target still had them up to 2019, which is kinda crazy since the 3DS and multiple Pokemon games had come out since...


And then the end times happened

You had nearly a decade to get one of the best Pokémon games and you passed it up?!

Look Imma be real with ya there's like a gap in my memory of the 2010s that I straight up cannot remember. I didn't even know the WiiU was a thing until it was basically dead. After Brawl came out and the Wii started to die I kinda fell out of console gaming and focused mostly on PC.


So uh.... when I saw HS/SS at Target that time? That was my first time ever seeing them in the wild lmao.
