1,008 Pokémon according to the video?!

Ash should legit become an idol in Pokemon lore because, if Rica is anything to go by, Ash would make a killing being a singer

I love that this exists in the Star Wars universe.

A 1969 Buick Electra convertible that can do space combat.

[Wario Bros.]

I had a feeling that 1008 Pokémon video wouldn't have a reveal in it and I was right.

At least update v1.2 for SV is coming in late February featuring bug fixes and "added functionality"

 

[cashregister9]

Idk I thought that video was pretty nice and well done. Not everything needs a reveal.

Blame hype culture.

I found that creating something on your own helps when a media you like disappointed you. It allows you to have a sense of control while also letting all your energy go into something productive.

Honestly, though, if you want stuff to change, the best you can do is give constructive criticism and hope the devs take notice. For what it's worth, in this case, the Sonic Team seemed pretty open about listening the feedback of the fans for Frontiers which given Sonic fandom can be a good or bad thing

I’m still working on my own game. But there’s something in playing a game built by something else you don’t get when playing something you made. It’s like watching your own movies.

And I mean. It’s not like I can just tweet at Sonic team and John SEGA will be like “alright, noted”.

So the Kalos Villain Arc
dropped in Pokémon Masters and there’s something interesting to think about:

What Pokémon is he referencing? This question is not answered in part one. This is a villain arc, which means odds are Lysandre is after this and it’s a mythical or legendary.

Except afaik, nothing in Kalos fits this Description. Zygarde is already with Serena, Volcanion doesn’t turn invisible. Hoopa is a main part of the games story so it can’t be that.

So conspiracy time….

This is actually hinting at Cross promotion with Scarlet and Violet’s DLC.

Lysandre will be getting an alt with the new mythical and it will be important to the story of the DLC and the second part. I’m probably totally wrong but maybe….

Who's that Pokémon?

My bet is Greninja.

It's in the game's code, is popular like Charizard/Cinderace, and a poison tera-type makes thematic sense because poison pokemon have been associated with ninjas since Koga in Gen 1.

My guess is Hisuian Goodra. It makes sense as a poison type and is something worth hyping up. I like Greninja, but there's no reason to keep it a surprise if while they bluntly reveal Charizard and Conference.

Growing up is realizing that Family Guy is actually good for the most part.

Maybe they're onto the fact that it's wild that the most popular Pokémon hasn't been in a game for six years.

However Mimikyu made the initial cut for both new gens so they trully understand who the best mon is. No bias

This is Pokemon Unite erasure.

And that's a good thing.

Legitimately surprised that Noivern made it in both times.

Hey I resent that!

A game with Drip Gods like these should not be erased

What about a niche indie game called super smash bros ultimate? I hear Greninja made a cameo there.

Greninja is my favorite Pokémon but Gamefreak hates it so it won't be him

Have any mobile game besides GO done a cross promotion with the mainline games before?

The v1.2 update for Scarlet and Violet releases in late February

Pokémon Day happens on February 27 (which is late February)

Gee, I wonder if these two things are related in some way...

Teletoon has one of the best selections of female characters in the animation business tbh

(Pretty much all of the Detentionaire and Total Drama women would count for this image, but I felt the best option would be to show a diverse selection of TV shows here because WOW Teletoon is great. If I missed anyone let me know!)

Just lost about 2 hours of Progress in sonic frontiers because I loaded a wrong save and it immediately autosaved over the data I needed to load 🥲

I have not had much fun on chaos island

 

[SnakeFighter64]

If they made a new Sonic RPG, this time in house at SEGA, which SEGA RPG series should it be bumming it's gameplay/battle system off of? Phantasy Star Classic? Shining Force? Skies of Arcadia? Skies of Arcadia? Maybe even SMT/Persona?

 

[TheMightyP]

When i was younger, I used to have cable TV provided by DirectTV. One day, they had some sort of dispute with Viacom, and threatened ti take Viacom off their networks. Nickelodeon aired this every commercial in response

I remember this pretty well and uh... I was a bit upset but I ejded up just going to Cartoon Newtork. Also, it didn't work, Viacom was remived for like a week and a half and said commercial was deleted when DirectTV found out

Could be possible they pull a random Shiny Zygarde alt. But other than that, the only other Pokemon I know of off the top of my head are the Latis and Kecleon, who aren't really too related to Kalos. If it isn't Zygarde, I've got no clue what this is.
