It's not even a Pokemon thing.

Every Nintendo franchise is guilty of not taking big risks, save MAYBE Mario.

They all sort of stick to their formulas and don't venture too far off them.

 

[Deleted member]

No seriously though, it's actually canon. Like, there's a history book in the Canalave Library that said people and Pokémon used to be able to marry.

I believe you, but I have to see this.
For. . science.

 

[Deleted member]

Don't think I didn't catch that

You never saw it coming.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

someone made a gif of her if you know what I mean

I'm assuming you mean porn and to that I say "They made Hex Maniac porn? Dear god, next you'll say that grass is green!"

After seeing a lot of fanart of Shield girl in so few hours, it is refreshing to see some Sword art online.

Wait, the girl is called shield and the boy is called sword? I didn't even realize that innuendo.

I'm actually not sure if there's any sword art online, though..

Why would I have the intentions to starve a million people?
You all deserve food.
Oh wait, Capitalism starves people too.

Life starves people, and all people have been able to do is shift around who starves and who is fed.

okay but it's special when it's animated

and specifically they based it off of that ghost scene from XY

I heard it’s a classic combo according to a pinball game I play...

Gonna need evidence of this bud, for the advancement of scientific progress.

It was toned down in the English version, but here's what the English version said.

There once were Pokémon that became very close to humans.There once were humans and Pokémon that ate together at the same table.It was a time when there existed no differences to distinguish the two.

The Japanese version explicitly said "married" instead of simply eating together as equals.

 

[Deleted member]

Did Netflix seriously put a Flat Earth documentary in a "Trending Now" section?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

oohh bro they added a new photo pose in Pocket camp

same poses, different angles

Yes, I remember listening to that in DidYouKnowGaming?
I remember I used to watch that channel.

Well you're not one to judge people, plenty of penguins starve too.

Putting effort into anything is for chumps.

Apparently it’s just a documentary debunking the flat earth movement and looking into its history.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

You know what I'll just drop this here. Leffen just said he's disappointed in lack of innovation of new Pokemon games. And already I hate him T_T

There was a problem fetching the tweet

He's jumping the gun though, we haven't even seen all..

Well

hes right

 

[ClaTheBae]

still no mirror selfie with butt propped up on the sink pose?

c'mon now

Random Encounters is incredibly archaic game design. I was glad they got rid of it for the Let's Go games. Seeing them come back feels like a step back.

What's so much better about a random encounter compared to actually seeing the enemy out in the world? Invisible Pokemon kinda makes the wilderness feel empty. Like, theres Pokemon there, sure, but they just appear. Makes it feel super gamey when I'd love for the Pokemon world to become more realized.

Pretty much my biggest complaint with each game in the series. It always feels like we lose a few good ideas with each subsequent game, especially in recent Gens. Unlike a lot of games, IMO it feels like the greater issue is quality-of-life rather than actual mechanics (competitive randomness I feel is a more "how you play" issue).

If we could get a game with B2W2's difficulty settings (without the unlocking requirements) + USUM's overall difficulty, Gen 6/7's Super & Hyper Training, XY's O-Powers, Skippable Cutscenes, Trainer Customization, and Let's Go's Overworld Encounters we'd be in for a heck of a game. Heck I'm not even mentioning Secret Bases, Battle Frontier, Pokemon Amie, Pokemon Bank, Pokemon following behind you, or Let's Go's Sky mechanic. Is the Switch even capable of Soft-Resets?

Developing Pokemon, by it's nature, is a massive undertaking, especially given Game Freak isn't a huge company, but I'd be more than willing to have a half year+ delay and have a more polished product.

...Get out.

 

[SneakyLink]

What if Sword and Shield were cancelled and we got Let’s Go Johto instead?

Now all battles are decided by RPS! And no Wild Pokémon.

But there’s now Poké-boxes that can contain a free Celebi! For the low price of $9.99!

 

[TheCJBrine]

PETA's Black & Blue thing bothers me.

Proof they don't know anything about Pokemon; Pokeballs actually provide a nice world for the Pokemon to stay in if I recall correctly, plus the whole friendship/bonding thing and the fact that they have superpowers + there's living inanimate objects and humanoids, and most trainers in the series take good care of their Pokemon.

And a Flat Earth can't work with the laws of physics.

Such thoughts will corrupt and destroy you Alucard hehe. Temperance is a virtue

Okay, I seriously need to go to found. In the meanwhile, RELATED TO WHAT Mythra said to me in a quote, here's a funny post I found.

Oof. That sounds bad. Very bad. Maybe so bad it’s good, but I don’t want to risk it.

Then there’s how they portray Ash...

I am going to be real, I want the hard difficulty back.

I may just be superstitious but i feel like one of our regulars is like Zero or something.

 

[ClaTheBae]

just wrote an anti flat earth essay for school it was like 6 pages and I didn't even get to the good stuff

 

[Blargg888]

is the series done with third versions now cause that would make me happy

The series hasn't really done a true third version in over 10 years.

BW had sequels
XY had nothing
SuMo has some weird Alternate Universe redo games.

Platinum was the last real 3rd Version.

It just documents them. Funnily enough in the ending the flat earthers accidentally end up proving the earth is a round boi. Besides I'm pretty sure there has been other conspiracy theory documentaries anyway, last time I checked netflix anyway.

Well that's pretty close to home.

No I am not going to watch it.
It is pretty funny to see Netflix putting "Flat Earth" propaganda in their Trending section.

I know how to find out who.
Zero was good in Smash 4 but is trash at Ultimate.

The Flat Earth movement is dumb. There is so much evidence against their movement and so much evidence supporting the fact that the Earth is round.

The Earth is not flat.

A very rudimentary search tells me it’s a sort of sympathetic look at flat earthers while also disproving them and analysing the flaws in the movement.

Do you know what propaganda means
