Does the game acknowledge if you perfect every entry, and/or give you something for doing so? I'm only here to steal the new forms and evolutions for Home.

Shiny chances go up even higher if you have a perfect entry.

Beyond that you get nothing for perfecting every entry in the Pokedex.

The biggest pain in the rear end is the ones that want you to catch several pokemon that are smaller than usual. Or the ones that want you to catch ones that are bigger, and there isn't a regular alpha spawn

I gave him and any other request asking for a Pokémon an alpha, and when/if they wouldn't take them, I gave/showed them a shiny instead.

Speaking of, seems like Greninja’s coming back eventually as well

A lot of high profile returns are coming to the anime, but most importantly there'll be an episode about Team Rocket having a podcast.

Come to think of it, I don’t think Team Rocket has been in the series since the episode where Butch and Cassidy returned a few months ago. I miss them

Speaking of returns, I know May’s probably out of the question due to her VA’s long standing health issues but any sign of Misty or any other familiar faces in the coming episodes out of curiosity?

Nuzlocke Update

I have reached the Elite Four. After much consideration I am rolling with this crew.



Durant has really surprised me, for some reason I always assumed it was terrible but with hustle and a kings rock it has actually been a solid team member. It came down to Grumpig and Noivern for my final spot and grumpig just had a bit more flexibility with its move pool. I have already knocked off the fire E4 and am about to go for the water guy.

Yeah, they've been featured way less in this series than in SM, which featured them way less than any series before. But whenever they do show up it's usually a larger role for htem.

The name of the first one is Lisia and she’ll be showing up in this week’s episode (not sure if Serena will be appearing in said episode as well or if she pops up a little later on though)

Yeah I have been very pleasantly surprised with her. Fast enough that she goes first most of the time, and between my kings rock boosted iron head and a single hone claws she can really wipe dudes out.

Speaking of the anime, it was really nice to finally see Serena again (and her new design looks great) and she apparently wasn’t the only familiar face we saw this episode either

Next week, Team Rocket finally returns (and in an episode that apparently is a tribute to the radio show they did on the side during Best Wishes)

Just wanted to congratulate you on your excellent pokemon names. If you change Washbarry's form do you have to change his name too? What are the other names you use for rotoms?

Seriously I love hearing about what other folk call their mons.

I called my Heat Rotom I'm In Here and my Wash Rotom My Tears because that episode of the Sun & Moon anime was really messed up.

My favourite recent Pokemon name is Dana Skully, but then it evolved into Houndoom and lost the skull on its design. Might be a good name for the Cubone line, though.

I've been enjoying giving pokemon all caps names lately, like WIDE LOAD or BABY CHAIN (my Falinks). Just imagining my trainer having to say it in this really loud deadpan voice every time they say the name out loud.

I also like giving cutesy names to big things. Like I named my Cyndaquil "Baby" and it's even cuter now that it's a big ol Typhlosion. Go, Baby! :3:

Yeah, naming scary things cute names or big things tiny names is stupid but endlessly amusing to me. I'm trying to decide which eldritch horror to call Mittens. Maybe Arceus when I get him! Just got the Spiritomb hunt to do.
