In Pokemon Journeys, despite the battle in episode 130, Ash manages to beat the other two Pokemon but lost another one with powerful gimmick :

It looks like Rillabom appearing out means that it will get much worse to Ash’s remaining team.

There's a lotta of opinions about newest Paldean Gym Leader - Iono. 

Barring fanbase's whining and lamenting about character, design, personality and voice acting (which, in my opinion, are awesome... or at the very least unique; like c'mon - Gym Leader who's a influencer/V-Tuber? I don't believe that even in fanmade games I found such a combination), the main 'problem' (or should I say 'conundrum') is her... real identity 

According to available news, Iono is a character/personality of sorts; a fake persona in fact, just like most (if not all) VTubers have. I don't know if she's just a cyber creation, or also the one with the role poses as her in real life (especially during Gym Battles), but for sure that look and personality isn't the true one, because:

1. As I said, many/all VTubers and influencers of similar functioning have their public character changed, differing from their real one, more or less
2. Iono's German and Spanish names, Enigmara and E-Nigma come from "enigma", meaning "unknown". And her Italian name, "Kissana" comes from  "Chi sarà?" - "Who will it be?". That signifies that no one knows truth about her, at least in the public sphere of things. 

The question is... Who IS Iono actually? Who's hiding behind the mask/image of the most electryfing star of Paldean pop-culture?

And, a very popular theory says that Iono is actually... Penny. Yes, you heard me right, the 3rd, shy and timid "rival", being one of the most extravagant and flashy Gym Leaders in the entire Europe? I'd lose my shit if that turned out to be true. But, still, that would be one hell of a plot twist, and a very positive one, because the last mega plot twist GameFreak gave us was a bit... heart-breaking, not gonna lie... 

At first I thought since Nemona would lead us through Paldea League, and Arven would "hire" us to help him gather Herba Mystica, Penny would be a key character in hunting down Team Star... only to be revealed as one of the Admins, if not The Head Boss of all fractions. And now... I don't know which would be more sick from story-telling point, but I sure know that I'd rather be proud of her... rather than feeling the urge to break her back in three pieces. 

But that'd mean that our passionate chef Arven would be the only "rival" to not have any plot twist/sudden reveal to his character:

• Penny being the one behind the persona of Electric Leader Iono (or Team Star's Head Boss) 
• Nemona rumored to be one of Paldea League's Champions
• Arven... has nothing

I, honestly, don't want him to have some super mind-breaking twist (like... using the power of Herba Mystica to turn his Pokemon into Titans and, by controlling them, conquer Paldea Region, and then the entire world), but something as impactful, but without breaking immensions. Maybe have some other important character, like some truly competent Trainer, be revealed as his relative, and then reveal that his lack of talent in battling has caused them/his family to reject him, so he decided to use his cooking skills, and gathered Herba Mystica, to show his value as a human being. 

Why do I say it...? Maybe 'cause I love theorizing, and story creation? And I wanna talk about it? So... @SolareInferno, @Evi Crystal, @Q-Jei, anyone?

Anything? Any ideas?

Remember how GameFreak presented Leon as one of the greatest Trainers of all time? 

Anime might've gone a bit too far with that, wouldn't ya agree?

Oh shit. I've forgotten about your B-Day! How could I-...?! 

Well, we haven't known each other for a long time, yet I believe that we might share a few commons with each other. Also, I am constantly blown away by your creativity, and ability to create (many things are incredibly broken beyond belief, though, but concepts are without a flaw). 

People like you, and you as well, are the reason why I haven't decided to give up on everything and end it permanently... I am thankful that you, and others, exist, because you're making me believe there's a chance for humanity...

I'm being late, yes, for almost 2 weeks, but... All the best for you, Evi ;-)

If there's Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee, why not make a partner Pokemon. Here's the image of Partner Male Salandit I made :

Oscarus. Did you see the episode of Leon vs Alain?

That battle was ironic. Even if Leon’s Charizard isn’t chosen to Gigantamax, it still kicks their butt.

Yes. I beat Pass 4 of Pokemon Xenoverse. Now I can do whatever I want. Catching some remaining Pokemons and Vinatge Pokemons.

I caught both Vintage Charmander and Vintage Houndour. Maybe is thanks to the update that all went well. Thank god I'm finished with this Mt. Starburst for the moment. Now I'm preparing my team for Pass 4 story by participating Apollo Tournament to gain Battle Points and use them to buy useful items. Because once you enter, there's no coming back until you beat the Pass 4 final boss. So I better prepare for the outcome.

Hey, everyone.

I managed to beat the Reborn main game, reaching to Anna Route. That Arc-Pulse was bulky but my Chansey is even bulkier than before. It managed to beat it by Toxic + Soft-Boiled + Seismic Toss trolling. Glad I beat Lin.

I was checking Reborn Wiki for my little "project" and... 

Cass, if you see this, I just wanna say... "You rock! "

I've never noticed it before... but seeing how Tyranitar can be dangerous on Glitch Field, it truly comes as a surprise how versatile this Pokemon is. 

Why, you ask? Because I have just recently realized, while playing some competitive, how Tyranitar's special bulk might come onto play. But step by step: 

• Tyranitar has 100 Base Special Defense, which equals to a maximum of 328.
• Thanks to Sand Stream, its' Special Defense is increased by 50%, as a nature of being a Rock type
• Assault Vest also increases Special Defense by 50%, but wearer can use attacks (which isn't a issue in Tyranitar's case as it don't have any reliable status move that increases Special Defense or such) 
• That makes its' Special Defense (and therefore a Special Attack as well) an astounding 738! For comparison, Mega Mewtwo Y's Special Attack caps at 535, barring any stat changes. 
• Tyranitar also has powerful Special movepool with:
  • Flamethrower/Fire Blast 
  • Thunderbolt/Thunder 
  • Ice Beam/Blizzard 
  • Dragon Claw/Outrage (which are Special on Glitch Field) 
  • Surf

Honestly, I've gotta check and try if my theory is true. If yes, then I'm much better battle-designer than I thought I was

I'm so ashamed of not realizing that up until now! 

Gen 9 will introduce the first region with TWO primary professors. Of course, there were regions with more professors (Unova had Aurea, Cedric and Fennel; Alola had Kukui, Burnet and Samson; and Galar had Magnolia, Sonia and Hop {to some degree}). But only 1 of them was the main one, while the new one will have two. 

We don't know if they will be version-exclusive or be in the same game but one of them is going to be our mentor and the other not, but we know that their names are Sada and Turo. 

And only now have I realized that their names come from Spanish words "pasada" and "futuro", which mean "past" and "future" respectively, with the first one being used in "feminine" form and the other in "masculine", since in Spanish nouns (and adjectives) have two forms, if they can refer to either masculine or feminine objects. And that matches well since Sada is a beautiful, wild female, and Turo is a hot, chad man. 

Still... I feel stupid for not realizing that despite being learnt Spanish for 6 whole years!
