Aether Foundation is evil because they already showed us their grunts and admins and stuff. plus all the private island/make a paradise/etc but mostly because they have grunts and admins

They will only learn that lesson of they buy both games, watch the animated series and purchase officially licensed Pokemon merchandise though.

Ubone is a really pretty design and I'm sad its probably that dumb girl and not a pokemon you can actually catch.

Typer: Null is literally what a 12 year old would make and I'm not sure if I hate or love it for that. The name sucks though.

Everything else looks cool as hell.

EDIT: Except the edgelord in Team Skull, he also sucks.

The Law? Law is a Human Institution.


I really like the idea of Team Skull being just a bunch of broke wanna be punks who are just going around causing petty crime because they have nothing better to do, and most of them outside of the higher ups are mostly oblivious to the grander scheme of things going on.

Also, there's no way the research center built on Plastic Beach that dress in perfectly sterilized environments with a hunched over scientist aren't evil.

I'm very much looking forward to teaming up with my boy Guzma

you don't feel like they just throw Luvdisc everywhere and call it a day like they usually do?

I hate so much that you can't permanently steal items with thief any more. Being forced to catch like a dozen Luvdisc is just :shepicide:

Your title was so old it used HTML which isn't even allowed in titles anymore what the hell
Why would they name Type: Null as Type: Null? Isn't Null sufficient? The design or lore of it doesn't bother me at all, just whichever 12 year old named it. Even "Null" is a little try-hard edgy but TYPE: NULL. WHY?!

I have good news for you, then. You can steal permanently from wild Pokemon. At no point were you forced to catch all those Luvdisc.

Isn't that literally just Hydreigon and Tyranitar? Dratini was Game Center, Salamence was post gym 5, Garchomp was post gym 4/2 in DP and Plat, and then Goomy.

Beldum's a bit of a special case.
