I was able to make it a Registeel raid at the EX gym we're targeting this week. Caught it on my last ball, finally getting the Pokedex entry. That was probably my last chance to get one, so I'm happy. We also have a very good chance of getting more EX passes in a couple days.

Every time I bring out Moltres or Blaziken in a gym or raid battle I think to myself "Arise, chicken. Chicken, arise."

I have had this thought before and I love this.

I also think it's a testament to its (bad?) design that people worldwide call Moltres "fire chicken" so easily.

I always refer to that dumb teddy bear as Turdursa because I don't really like that there is a pokemon based on a teddy bear.

Chickens are actually quite sweet, like with most animals they only become evil shitbirds if you treat them like poo poo and are a bad owner.

yeah the local raid group here is pretty active but we pretty much all called it quits as soon as each of us had a registeel. be interesting to see what they do for 5 star raids after regirock. maybe gen 4 will be out by then and it'll be one of the lake trio.

You will be very sad to hear there is a new teddy bear Pokemon line in Alola, Stuffull and Bewear. Stuffull is a cute pink teddy bear with a happy face who actually loathes cuddles and is full of hatred and evil. When it evolves into Bewear it learns to love hugs but unfortunately also gains the size and strength of a real bear and crushes children to death on the reg. It's canon.

This isn't even an exaggeration. Its Moon dex entry states, "This Pokémon has the habit of hugging its companions. Many Trainers have left this world after their spines were squashed by its hug. "

I don't know, isn't every generation like...3 starters (water, fire, grass), a couple of birds with a couple of evolutions, floating metal electric Pokemon, and some bugs that turn into cocoons that turn into butterflies/moths? Oh also something doofy that evolves into something cool.

Edit: I just looked up Klink. What the gently caress? Klink, klang, klinklang. That's dumb as hell.

It means the same as saying Gen 3 is a low point.




Gen 5 had lots of good mons, but so do all gens. The ones I didn't like felt more Digimon-y to me than, say, poochyena.

Also, I hate the gently caress out of the elemental monkeys.

gen 5 has a ghost chandelier, an amoeba, a giant centipede of death, a sentient sarcophagus, a living representation of the nazca lines, an archaeopteryx, a jousting bug, and the world's cutest blood-sucking parasite. gen 5 is fuckin baller.

My fellow Pokemon Go people. I did not play beyond the second generation. The dancing cactus upthread is cool as gently caress tho. I asked my wife if it was an evolution for the cactus I caught and she said it wasn't so now I'm bummed. I've forgotten what my point was. How do I get the cool cactus?

i mean gen 3 has some good pokemon like ludicolo and anorith, but it also just has so goddamn many forgettable or outright poo poo designs as well. there is no generation in the series for which i can name fewer pokemon off the top of my head than gen 3 because so many are just so, so uninteresting. even gen 4, which also has a lot of mediocre-to-bad designs, there's still more good designs there.

It's the final evolution of Lotad, the little blue blob with a giant lily pad on its head. Unfortunately for you, its gimmick is that it only comes out during rainy weather (or things like the water event) in Pokemon Go.

The cactus boy you see dancing all the time evolves into some scarecrow-with-jack-o-latern-head of a humanoid cactus.
