I know I'm late to shiny chat, but my shiny Vaporeon has every ribbon from Gen 4 to 6, and she is clearly super stunning.

I don't have too many other stories to tell about my shiny hunting, aside from the very first one I ever caught was an Onix back in Crystal.

I have a personal beef with Milotic, mostly because it being straight up "the Most Beautiful Pokemon (TM)" is sort of a rude way of getting people to like it?? Especially since I find it kind of whatever a design.

It's basically my equivalent of how many people dislike Lucario and/or Greninja for being Too Special, except way more of a minor deal.

Zorua and Zoroark are cool illusion foxes, and their movie is way better than Lucario's. Well, if only because the Zorua movie is practically a nod to Steins;Gate. :v:

I still like Hugh, if only because he totally represents the kid who tries REALLY HARD to be cool. He has his own edgy backstory where he's on his journey to rescue his little sister's Purrloin, he has his own action pose in battle, and treats the MC as if they were just his sidekick.

However, the game goes out of its way to prove that Hugh's... Very much misguided. Down to the point where the people who HAVE been keeping the Purrloin he's been looking for, actually never gave that much of a poo poo about it. The poor kid is basically, well, a very passionate boy.

You know it seems like they always try to make the fire starter the "cool" one and go out of their way to show favoritism (two mega forms for charizard, an early release for mega blaziken) but what's interesting about Greninja is that when they designed it they probably sat down and said "what if we made the water type the cool starter instead of the fire one this time?"

I think all the Kalos starters are pretty rad, though. Then again, making a starter set based on RPG classes is a kickin' rad idea.

The beauty of Pokémon is that yes, someone can and will insult your favorite Pokémon. Very passionately at that.

That is why I don't like posting about the monsters I like most, since they consistently result in people just throwing mud at them anyway, unless someone else brings them up. :v:

The sheer amount of people whining because Litten's evo is bipedal, and only because of that, is honestly baffling to me. Why is that so important?

There are some people who think Pokémon should be more like regular animals, and stay on all fours if they started out being on all fours.

I remember when NetBattle, and later Shoddy Battle, were the battle sims for Pokémon.

I feel like Net Battle had a Smogon server back in Gen 3, though I can't tell you how far into competitive things were way back when. I can definitely say Smogon had a lot of traction in Gen 4.

It was only yesterday reading posts on how Scizor gaining Bullet Punch in Platinum made it shoot up in usage.

A patch for Sun and Moon came out, and there's no bank update yet. It's just bug fixes. It fixes the glitches with Z-Parting Shot and Z-Memento. Also fixes an edge case where Rocky Helmet causes wins when it shouldn't. But it finally fixes the bug where a Pokemon wouldn't learn Confusion upon evolving, so Kadabra no longer has to wait 5 more levels to be able to attack.

Added to this, the Shell Smash Kommo-O in the Battle Tree was edited to not have said move anymore.

Also a Hawlucha was replaced by Mega Pidgeot. Why? ... I guess someone on Game Freak's staff prefers not-penguin over a wrestling hawk.

Yeah, I had to nix Blue from my set, I'm afraid. :B If there's an SM 2 or whatever that has the Festival Plaza (AND HOPEFULLY IT'S FIXED), they'll have 8 or more.

Otherwise? I could just get Blue for that new game, and make that plaza into some other silly gimmick instead!

And by the by, thanks Ariong for their support! Having a 7-color Plaza owns imo, and I'd love to swap around my festival for anyone who needs a Team color! :stoked:

Veronica Taylor and Eric Stuart both put up a lot of work for the 4kids anime. The former did Ash, May, Ash's mom, and even Amelia from Slayers, while Eric Stuart is behind Brock, James and Kaiba from YGO.

I'm very nostalgic for the 4kids dubbing, because man their music is really hard to say no to, even if it hits the cheesy side of things from time to time.

In any case, I think casting the same person as two main characters and not really making much effort to distinguish them isn't very good. Delia would be one thing, but May showed up every episode for several years. It's super weird to listen to.

It's a little hilarious to think about that, because Taylor's May voice is basically her Amelia. I admit, I haven't even touched the RS anime in a really long time, so my memory is a little foggy on how Taylor's Ash even sounded back then.

Also yes, the One Piece rap is comedy gold.

Like all things in life, any Pokemon could be seen as lame and boring if you distill them to one base set.

Or they can be cool and lovable for any number of reasons.

Make a movie about Team Rocket's origins- No wait I'm pretty sure that was already an anime special.

Make another movie about Team Rocket meeting a legendary and them resolving to be the best villains they can be.
