As the voice of dissent, I'll admit, I don't mind the CONCEPT of cults worshipping legendary pokemon, and using dream eater to erase a person's memories seems like it would be a very good way of making sure that someone couldn't be deprogrammed away from the cult. I could see cults worshipping and making annual offerings to, say, Kyogre for good rain, or Groundon to minimize volcanic activity. It's an interesting direction that, handled properly, could be interesting, especially in a "Faith vs Science" angle, where you have a team wanting to harness a local legendary pokemon for the benefit of all the world, and a cult wanting to protect it from the team, but keeping it for their region.

Plus I like the "The cult's practices work, just Darkrai wants nothing to do with them and Nopes the gently caress out of there as soon as he's summoned". That was probably more entertaining than it should have been.

Sudowoodo would've been the perfect Pokemon to have an Alola form. A rock that disguises itself as a tree? Have a palm tree Sudowoodo.

Gen 2 deserves more love.

It already looks kinda like a palm tree though. Make it look like a pine tree or a cactus, just something that's oddly out of place, or like a willow or oak tree if you want to make it Rock/Poison.

And, of course, you're going to use the moon stone in a responsible way and evolve the greatest pokemon ever created, correct?

Also, when can you get a Jigglypuff? You need a Wigglytuff named Yoomtah (or YOOM-TAH if you care about quote accuracy).

So, at what point do we start running into Jigglypuffs (or... any fairy-types for that matter. Is the Togepi egg the first one?)?

I... completely forgot Ralts and Marill were fairy type now. I still stand by my belief that Wigglytuff is the best Fairy though (and by extension, Jigglypuff and Igglybuff).

"And now I'm being hugged by an Electivire. Not quite sure how I ended up in this situation."

Zygarde I would assume comes from zygote, considering the whole "cells" thing. How many 8-12 year olds would know what a zygote is on the other hand...

Nah, Damien's going to be the one who turns traitor. The Oracle was very direct, and intentionally started the bickerjng that drove Damien away from Nora and the PC. Nora's destiny was to open her big mouth.

Also, the party needs a Wigglytuff. Sing and YOOM-TAH everything to death!

But Damien hasn't joined the Infernal Cult (yet) though, has he? I thought it was the Perfection Cult that Deoxyfied the old man.

So she's dead-dead, not just assumed-dead? Because it seems the events go "Deoxys-hybrids show up, Kyogre knocks her into the water, Kyogre goes into the water on top of her and flees" and then we're told she died without seeing a body.

I'm not doubting it, I'm just wanting to confirm that she is dead-dead.

If we're talking about fan pokemon that we like, I like the Kertruffle line from Sage and its unique requirements for evolving. Still not sure how "gain a level while fainted" is supposed to work for one of them though. Can you use Rare Candies on fainted pokemon?

Considering that armored Mewtwo was a thing way back when, I'm a little surprised we haven't seen more "armor/equipment but for pokemon". I mean, barding for horses dates back to the 14th century, do you honestly mean to tell me that only an evil organization went "Haaaaaaang on, these creatures that we use almost exclusively for fighting could do with some goddamn armor"? Or at the very least, more pokemon-specific equipment that enhances that specific pokemon line.

I just love how the game continues to dunk on Team Abyssal, to the point where the legendary that they summoned is saying "gently caress y'all, I'm going to side with the person you wanted to sacrifice."

Maybe.

Does legendary mean something different than "One-of-a-kind unique pokemon story-wise", cause that looks like its mass-produced.

But seriously, I would love to see a story-relevant legendary bug.

I would love to see Wigglytuff get used.

And I'm honestly surprised at how... dare I say... good the plot is, with the cults actually feeling and acting different from each other. It really is a breath of fresh air, even compared to some AAA games.

Edit: are damien and old man dna still stuck in our brain dreams :psyduck:

Really, the whole concept of "people are stuck inside your dreamscape" raises a whole host of questions. Can they affect you directly by loving with the dreamscape? If the deoxys-zombies infect everyone in there, can that result in you being infected? What happens to people who die in the dreamscape? CAN people die there? Does time pass regularly or only when you sleep?

the Deoxys thing kind of went nowhere, so I think they decided they had too many things going on but it was too late to remove the plotline so it just... petered out.

I don't know, it seemed to be a fairly complete storyline. Hell, it was even tied into another storyline to give a reason for the mass-innoculations that led to brainwashing. It's just that what we thought it was going to end up as, and wat it actually was are two different things.
