  1. I came just back in time to say: Mimikyu's ability is goddamn amazing. All new mons announced today look cool one way or the other. Also more meta-breaking abilities lol. Off again, see ya.

      NO, i wanna say hi :(

  2. Persian has a tiny ass red orb on its head. Persian can learn power gem. Diancie is a literal living diamond stone with gems all over. Diancie can't learn power gem.

      it doesn't need Power Gem... it has DIAMOND STORM

      @NC: and I lack a decent special rock STAB on one of my fav megas to use.

      @Ceph: it needs it if I plan to run moonblast on it, since it doesn't get play rough and going mixed just for the sake of diamond storm is not really good imo.

      Plus on the matter, carbink does get power gem. Diancie's case is probably a mistake that I hope they fix in S&M.

      tbh diamond storm is amazing as it gives a 50% chance of a def buff. Coming from a nice 160 base attack, even with a lack of investment, with stab, it'll still be doing a shit ton of damage.

  3. If Gamefreak expects me to believe that a ghost type stole fabric, painted it after pikachu and goes around cosplaying like that then they are doing a great job because I'm totally buying it.

  4. The ghost one is the real deal. Togedemaru was a decoy the whole time. On a side note, I find it interesting that out of 21 pokemon of gen 7 currently known, now 12 have new abilities. That's roughly 60% of the mons having new abilities. I bet that the starters' HAs are going to be new abilities too most likely, so I'm fascinated as to how many new abilities (and moves) this gen is going to introduce.
  5. The [REDACTED] type is pretty much a reverse wobbuffet of sorts. I love that. The other one is based off an animal fans have long waited for... altough I cannot say I'm 100% pleased with how it looks. I hope it evolves.
  6. When you have to keep a friend's dog after you haven't had to take care of a dog of your own in like, 12 years. These are goibg to be some rather interesting 10 days..

      doggy-cuddles!!!! :D

  7. You people and your AMAs

  8. Is more about the wrestling theme coming out of nowhere and the design of the fake leak itself more than the bipedal-ity itself, tbh. Although you're right tho, all fire starters end up bipedal lol.
  9. The popplio and rowlet [pressumed] fake leaked final forms I absolutely love, but I despise litten's, in many ways. Not only because wrestling (eeeew, imo...), but implicit fire/fighting, no justification for humanoid-ness in the line's progression whatsoever and horrid wrestling-esque belt of fire thing. If litten really does end like that it will be the first and most likely only disappointment reaction I'll have towards the pokemon franchise for this gen. However, I don't really believe these, as cool as that siren popplio thing looks to me. I had seen these same supposed leaks in know your meme (in the pokemon image gallery) last month and the pics are still there, were never taken down and I suspect they won't. Plus, I have a hard time believing there are no gyms. I find it too risky a move, and GF are generally cowards in innovation within their storytelling. So yeah, for once, I hope at least 80% of these are actual fakes.
  10. Oh my fucking arceus the new pokemon man. I kinda like its desing, but its GODDAMN ABILITY? have you seen that shit? spoiler for those who haven't: EDIT: tfw you putting a spoiler is automatically made pointless by the guy above you xD
  11. That feel when your father asks you to give him some music in spanish, and you only got 6 songs. Out of 680. I really should get back on track with my language's music.

  12. Indeed, Ralts is a thing too. In fact it is one of my fav mons to get early game, because with trace, you can scout every other wild pokemon and thus you'll know beforehand what abilities you're gonna get. Very useful. Also, its whole line on itself is very neat, and gardevoir is a surprisingly useful pokemon in game, a key special attacker that only got better after getting a fairy subtyping. The only reason I didn't really consider it for a possible starter was that it branches out with gallade if you get a male kirlia and a dawn stone, which is unseen for starter pokemon, as far as I remember. Maybe they might do something like that for gen 7's, dunno. Would be cool tho.
  13. We have home appliances and key rings as pokemon, and they've managed to make me like both to some extent. So if that's possible, then nothing can surprise me anymore. I don't think the important part about a pokemon is its concept, but rather how well the concept is executed. So basically anything could be a pokemon imo, as long as enough work and heart goes into its design and lore to justify everything being a pokemon in the first place. If you make a keyring or ice cream because you believe in a keyring or ice cream pokemon and do it well, I'll like it. If you make a keyring or ice cream because you're running out of ideas and need 1 more for your dex, it will show and I probably won't care for it. I don't think there's more to it. Some people will probably say that there are things gamefreak would never turn into actual pokemon for one reason or another, and they're probably right, but as far as creating pokemon goes, be them canon or fakemon, I think all can be done well and end up as a likeable design. Although, I think I could agree with ICSW here, that a literal human pokemon could be rather....unsettling, to have. Mr Mime is one thing but a pokemon whose species is "human" would be just weird. The weirdest and most uncanny pokemon I've seen is a fakemon from pokemon vega called otakun, which is a poison type otaku wearing a cape. It is basically a bald white humanoid with the ability stench. You tell me if that isn't unsettling to some extent.
  14. Well to be honest, I failed to consider that birds could work just fine for flying starters. I guess I was too focused on making the line's prime type a priority, and thus failed to see all other flyings except Noivern. Staraptor is a pretty solid 3-stage, with attack and speed backed up by close combat, brave bird, and good abilities on reckless and intimidate. So that could definitely work. I never understood why is it that there haven't been any line with flying as their first type prior to gen 6, and any pure flying prior to gen 5. Is not like type order affects anything, so things like Staraptor could perfectly be flying/normal instead of the other way around. I guess there could be a "bird starter" category lol. When you think about it, all normal/flying early game birds are more or less built as lesser starters.
