After 20 years of having it shoved down my throat, I hate Pikachu.

I still really want all of these except the Team Flare one.

Also; where's the Team Skull one?

Speaking of good Gen V music, the Desicive Battle theme gave me chills when I first heard it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_99vKUhKR8w

Same for the theme that plays when you meet Professor Rowan in DPPt

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
Is the Pokémon card game android app any good? I didn't know there was a digital version.

i don't recognize any music except for most of the gen 1 stuff and its derivatives. i guess i usually play with sound off now

same, except i play with the music on, just none of it is as iconic to me as lavender town

well, i really liked zinnia's theme from ORAS, but that's the only music i recognize from newer games

Don't you have an Eviolite by now? Just evolve whichever one you think looks cooler at its final stage (Chandelure)

I kinda like lampent's design more than chandelure's :unsmith:

murkrow is a cool witch bird while honchkrow is a gangster boss, so it depends on whether you like horror movies or noir

I like murkrow cause he kinda looks like Bobby liebling from pentagram but when honchkrow faints he tips his little hat which I find very amusing

Speaking of Chandelure, how good is it in doubles? And what type of hidden power is best for it currently, ice or fighting?

In doubles?

Trick Room/Energy Ball

Chandelure is so goddamn broken. Just about every ghost type is excellent at doing one specific thing in teams but doubles makes this really evident.

Probably not.

But I honestly wish there were more like it. Its a godsend for things that have horrifically bad movepools, and I'm always a little sad there isn't a physical version.

Things that are unique to a specific pokemon, rather than the species, are good imo.
