Can we fucking PLEASE get adult protagonists? I’m tired of NPCs calling me a kid.
>>58612573This old fuck (and Whitney's whole shtick for that matter) is a direct lift from GS, back when Pokemon's worldbuilding per the Gameboy era was set in "real life but with Pokemon who have gone largely unknown and barely understood until Professor Oak's breakthroughs in research, and then Pokemon became hugely popularized thanks to Red's prodigal success story" before RS started revising it into "the Pokemon world", and now we have conflicts from 3000 years ago involving Pokemon, emphasizing they've always been right by humanity's side since the very beginning.
>>58614704Oak wasn't involved with the early research into pokémon, you dumb cunt. All he did was develop the first ELECTRONIC pokédex from the various pre-existing sources of information available to him. And yeah, the separation of real from Pokémon world allowed them to explore concepts and more importantly Pokémon designs keeping it strictly to "the real world but no-one bothered to study these incredibly amazing creatures until the 1800's because reasons for the game's existence in the first place".
>>58598762Pokemon is a series for all ages/kids, so no
>>58614743Fair enough on the clarifications, I'm well aware of Zukan lore but because of how absurd it is that no one actually gave a shit about Pokemon aside from a rare few back in those centuries-ago times, and they were never further iterated upon after those initial findings, it's important to recognize Oak's importance to GB Era worldbuilding because his sheer commitment to research basically inspired everyone else to start caring....Except everyone was still retards, Oak himself included, because no one ever thought to actually conduct research at night time, so species like Houndour and Murkrow, Kanto natives, went completely unknown until after Red's journey, and also everyone was an asshole to their Pokemon universally so species like Crobat were unheard of too.
OG lore was retarded no matter how you put it, there's no way someone wouldn't have conquered at least half a continent just by enslaving a few pokemon hundreds of years ago
What do you think?
I want Dexio
>>58608458Daily reminder that this bitch got ultramogged by Eri in Masters
>>58615119They only got in as filler units for Eevee month, Eri was always going to be the focus because SV is actually popular unlike XY. Still waiting for Alolan alts... Or canon alts of any kind
>>58615368I already gave up, waiting 15 more years for the next gen 6 remakes
>>58615470>Remakes from modern Game Freaklmao
This game has a charm that can't be matched.
>>58615406>>58615426>>58615469Wasn't Blue the third version?
>>58615477In Japan yes. But in the west no.
Japan had 45 versions of gen 1 and the only difference between the games was the color in the title
>>58615517red/green come outBlue then comes out as a special edition with upgraded spritesthose sprites are then used for red/blue overseasYellow was basically an anime adaptation
>>58615532Not just upgraded sprites they also updated the engine to be less buggy. Blue was the basis for 97 GS as well, lots over overlapping sprites for the 151
I think infinite Ashnime fucking sucks and getting rid of the character was the right move and anyone who likes Ash is a fucking moron at this point, BUT! This new series is boring as hell, has horrible animation, is completely bone dry, and is failing at making serialization work because they obviously have no plan. A series like BW has its issues but it only ever sets out to be a retarded show for babies. Horizons is actually attempting to create intrigue but failing at every turn, it's basically good for nobody. I dropped it around the timeskip where they gave Roy a shiny Lucario. Actually discussing this show's extremely noticeable downturn in quality is impossible in the anime discussion thread, people in there are extremely touchy and mentally not all there.
>>58615039Yeah, an anime arc more thoroughly depicting Arven's struggles to help his Pokemon get better would have probably done numbers. The fact is, Liko and Roy are characters that a lot of people decided to like or dislike before they even appeared on our screens. Minds were made up before the fact. Ashfags had become so annoying, so insufferable, so shipping obsessed, that the idea of latching onto the new and sticking your tongue out was too tempting. But after three years, really, what's good about Liko and Roy? They're the most nice, moral, sanitized characters I've ever fucking seen in my entire life, they have no fucking PULSE. They're everything bad about late-stage Ash but without the occasional goofiness.
>>58614887Honestly, Journey's did a poor job at it as well. Ash and Go living at a lab and just hopping to location of the day was dumb. MPM did it right by having Ash on the move again.
>>58615008the anime is too cringe and retarded just pokemon repeating their names makes it unwatchable
>>58614483>It's crazy to me that Horizons is putting up lower numbers than even Journeys did.It is not a surprise to me. Journeys still had Ash, who is iconic and a ton of fan services and references to older series that people enjoyed. HZ doesn't have any of that stuff to fall back on. They were probably better off doing a series entirely based off of SV. The gen 9 characters are probably the most popular batch of characters since at least gen 7.
>>58615222I kinda liked Journeys when it was just monster of the day shenanigans and was just trying to be entertaining instead of satisfying the decades old desires of Ash fans.
It's the best day of the week!Post all of your Serenas and Y-chans here!Previous thread: >>58552227

The tenth generation has leaked a list of 600 original Pokémon slated for Pokémon Winds/Waves and the game's DLC. Over 100 new Pokémon are also planned.
>>58614201>>58614204Fake, but>Magnezone>Electivire>GalvantulaMy top 3, I'd be happy
>No legendariesFake, they're not going to resist breaking the metagame with the final DLC by adding every Legendary (other than Celebi once again because fuck me specifically I suppose) in the final DLC
>>58615471Celebi was in sword and shield nigger. Get over yourself.
>>58614183OP here. sorry this is so late but I forgot to mention one thing. I am trans
No fucking Spearow/Fearow again?!?!
Bug thread
>>58612961>Citizen SnipsYou beat the game
>>58612965>Drapion and Flygon are both based on insects>Drapion and Flygon are both in the Bug egg group>Aaron, one of the highest ranking Bug specialists in the entire franchise, uses both a Drapion and a FlygonEven if they're not bug-types, they're bugs in spirit, and that matters to me.
>>58598722lol cute
>>58613395>some forced bullshit like the masked royaleyeah, who the fuck would believe a literal wrestler could also be some nerdy professor
>>58613418Sadly, media literacy is totally dead.
>>58613381Pokemon "theories" and "theory crafters" are really wasted/wasting brain power imo. Every now and then, you'll find someone trying to convince you that an alligator is a snake, and a fox is a dog. While I understand a fox is in the canine family, would it not just be a dog?
>>58613395Theyre about as serious as every mega being an X or a Y
>>58613381Mega Lucario 2 is gonna have a fat egg shaped torso then
Post about Gwynn, the cute ghost girl that is "most likely" lesbian.
>>58594162Need to add Wattson to the group
I need more Gwynn, I need more cute poke girls in general to heal myself from the uglyness that was Penny.
>she seriously thinks champions will replace showdown
Nintendo might actually C&D Showdown finally. Nintendo explicitly stated they want Champions to be the new standard for VGC (not unofficial online simulators used stolen assets)If the C&D was ever going to happen, it's in 2026. Smogon had a good run of 15 years.The little gentleman's agreement Pokemon Showdown's creator got from that Nintendo rep or whatever doesn't mean shit
Showdown being an autistic cabal run by a few spergs larping as a democracy makes me laugh, I hope it stays around so I can continue to make fun of them for being retards
>>58614927autismo showdown sisters we're not going anywhere
>>58615030>xe doesn't know smogon grossly inflates their user numbersoh no no no....>not unofficial online simulators used stolen assetsThis is (probably) their only real legal avenue for a C&D and even then showdown already has a lot of custom 2d assets for the newer Pokemon. Emulation and game modification are both perfectly legal, and there's also the argument that smogon's custom formats and cartridge-incompatible rules do not in fact replace the games themselves since they're a distinct enough version of what is possible with the official product. That's all on top of TPCI only running VGC formats as their official format which is grossly overshadowed by singles on showdown/smogon, which haven't had official tournaments in 20 years.
>pokemon c&d's showdown>tournament attendance drops because you now have to test your teams on their glacially slow client
MegainiumCHADs, I can’t believe we won….
>>58615468this is implying anyone ever cared about meganium
>>58615475It was always better than Feraligart. Only contrarians who didn't like Typholion like that generic boring crocodile. Meganium is unique and good looking
>>58615497they're all boring as fuck, but i usually go either typhlosion or feraligatr in hgss because they're somewhat useful
>>58615475Its always been my favorite johto starter line. I like dinosaurs and meganium is a sauropod. Its that simple
>>58615300>expecting Japan to have good tasteMega Feraligatr is a joke made by them for themselves.>>58615497>typhloshitter calling something boring and genericlmao
Y'know, the Pokemon world must have some very interesting culinary traditions, and ingame we're barely exposed to them. What kinda foods do they eat, especially fattening junk foods?
This was a very good thread
