I've been playing a bit while I do other things and just looking around for max raid battles and I keep seeing locked battles with legendaries show up in my feed; stuff like Zacian, Lunala, Eternatus, and I'm pretty sure Zarude has shown up once judging by the silouette.

At this point I'd just get anything I need from the oaks lab twitch stream, gently caress it.

I tried this yesterday to get an extra Zacian. It tried to send me one with completely wrong stats, and a wrong nature compared to what I copy pasted. And then when I took a few seconds to scroll through the summary page to check, I got an error that it disconnected. And then the twitch chat had a message that said I took too long. Sorry about wasting 5 seconds of your life, twitch bot :shrug:

Is it back up? I checked a week or so ago so I could get a second Urshifu without running through everything again and it was down. I mean, it's not like I need anything from it now, but it's a nice safety net in case I accidentally delete/trade something I need.

I was googling yesterday to see if there was any more info on zarude's release, and found where some of those are coming from. There's a guy running ebay auctions for hacked raids. Buy the auction, get a link code for a raid that gives you a masterball, 999 of a bunch of vitamins and stuff, and a chance to catch the hacked raid 'mon.

Of course, there are reports of people getting 2 month bans for merely participating in hacked raids.

Yeah it came back like a week after the DLC was out I want to say? It's definitely up and running, in any event.

I've pulled probably double digits of pokemen through it and never had an issue so no idea what happened for you there, sorry guy :shrug:

It validates to filter out illegal stats/moves/balls/shinies etc so maybe you screwed something up in the generation?

I made sure to set the drop down thing to adamant. And had the normal number of EVs and stuff. All the moves were from the level up set. And I didn't even see how to pick the ball it's in. It also had no "caught at this location" info when I saw that page. So something had to be wrong with it. Maybe it generates after it goes through the trade? I dunno.

It's not a big deal, either way. I just wanted GTS fodder.

Galar in general seems like kind of a low priority for this series right now. Though with Twilight Wings ending soon that could possibly change before long.

Twilight Wings is available on the official YouTube channel:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQWzKIaERirwfvHB3m8CjnTK6ZzNA8wvJ

The main anime is fansubbed but I forget if the group doing it has a website. You can probably find it by searching around though or if all else fails try streaming sites like Kissanime and the like.

The dub of the current season is on Netflix I believe but it’s only a few episodes in at the moment.

All I need left to complete the new Isle Dex is a Porygon Z, and Slowking. And Zarude if that's necessary.

Eternatus made a cameo earlier in the season so we’re likely getting an adaptation of that plotline later down the line at least.

It’s possible that Marnie and the other gym leaders could show up in some capacity as well (not sure about Team Yell but I could honestly take or leave those guys).

This is one time the anime couldn’t help but improve the obligatory Legendary battle. Even if it was done in two episodes, it’d still be a step up from the game’s version.

TPCI isn't going to shell out the money to get people with authentic accents to voice them, nor is the voice director going to coach them through an english accent (or more thzn one take), so prepare for yet more ill-fitting american accents

Anyone else notice Lampent hovering above the hospital?

I know that is the thing it does, but for a feel good moment that kind of makes it a little depressing.

It's weird how sinister Ghost-types tend to be, at least if you treat the Pokedex entries as reliable. Despite the Dark type literally being the Evil type in Japanese, the Pokedex entries for Dark-type Pokemon tend to be something along the lines of "It's not evil, just misunderstood," while the Ghost-type entries tend to be about how they murder children in cold blood.

The anime mostly ignores this side of Ghost-types, with the exception of that one BW episode I wrote about :

Silver2195 posted:

The episode "Scare at the Litwick Mansion" (BW026) really stood out to me (despite the similarities to "Tower of Terror," "Take This House and Shuppet," etc.) because it's the first time I can remember that Pokemon in the anime straight up try to murder humans in cold blood. There's a similar plot of a ghost trying to murder a human in "Ghoul Daze" (DP090), but there it's specifically the non-Pokemon ghost trying to kill Angie, while the Ghost-type Pokemon Dusknoir tries to save her. The Litwick trying to kill everybody was in keeping with the way the Pokedex tends to portray Ghost-types in the games, but the anime is usually careful to avoid going in that direction.

Speaking of which, I haven't touched the anime in a long time. Maybe I'll start watching it again soon.

They do that thing where very young children are voiced by 30 year old women and personally I don't care for it.

All but a handful of cartoon regardless of origin have been doing that for many, many years now though. It’s mostly because actual young boys eventually hit puberty and can’t do the voice anymore so it’s cheaper to just have a woman do it rather than keep swapping out the voice actor a bunch (especially in the case of long running shows where the child characters aren’t allowed to age).

Also the kids in Twilight Wings are voiced by adult women in the Japanese version too.

30 year old women don’t go through puberty randomly. It’s sort of a necessity if you want to retain the tone of the character
