*looks at Brock statue* I never noticed how ripped he was before. Da-yum!!

My god that Brock looks awesome. :D
We totally need a gen 2 Misty variant.

Those with an iPhone/other iOS device, Pokemon Shuffle is now out on iOS. I believe it is also out for Android, but last I heard, the haven't unlocked it yet.

Nope. Nothing in the Google Play store. I swear, this better not turn out like Fallout Shelter where the majority have to wait for it on Android. Another reason to not like Apple.

I'm trying to get a Lightning Rod Seaking. Might need to Powersave the ability onto one. And I'd rather not...which is odd as that's how I'd fix the IV stats to 31s, boost EXP and spread EV points...

It's weird, there are reviews of the game on the Play Store already. Perhaps people are reviewing based on their experience with the 3DS version.

I don't think there's any reason that it's Apple's fault. Even for Fallout Shelter, the official word was that it wasn't a timed exclusive: https://twitter.com/DCDeacon/status/610334060108361728

I think developers just put priority on iOS because iOS users tend to spend more money: http://bgr.com/2015/04/15/ios-vs-and...-revenue-apps/

Shuffle is probably the longest lasting Spin Off game we've gotten. I'm surprised and annoyed how it keeps getting updated.

Anyone think we'll get anymore Figuarts Pokemon?

Even if we don't, Tomy are starting to put out new Pokemon Figures that actually have articulation.

The Mega Blaziken one is pretty good and the Mega Lucario is meh.

Just what we needed. Another Mega Blaziken :p

Wow, they're shoving Mega Blaziken down people's throats harder than OG Lucario :lol

And soon it will be Greninja getting shoved down our throats. I guarantee it.

Charming...

Not at all. :(

Those did look tempting after watching Shuki's review... Might have to keep an eye out on them to maybe cherry pick some.

I prefer Kickity China the Chinese Chicken over Spikey the Edgedog any day.

At least Kickity China isn't an emo jackass that 14 year old girls write fanfics about.


Yes, I like naming Blaziken after lyrics from "One Week." :lol

If it results in a Figuarts, I'm not sure I mind too much. :lol

Of course what I REALLY want is Delphox, but I really doubt it's anywhere near as popular.

I love Kangaskhan~
I can't wait for SMD and to burn $40 of my Laptop/Wii U money on it to get it day 1 :lol

Saw the new Tomy figures at TRU today. Blaziken was only in a display, but really does look nice. Gogoat is hilariously huge. Seriously, just so big. But the Mega Kanto starters...

Eh, also kinda too big for me yet still looked cool. So yeah, it is a nice start. Hope it takes off so we get more diverse choices. I wish there was more love for Electivire..

Electivire did have this back in DP's Toyline

I got one of them back then. It had decent articulation, though not the best.

Most likely not, the ones they released didn't seem to sell very well and there hasn't been any news for a very long time.

I really think they would have had more success selling figures of the trainers that each came with specific Pokemon, like we're seeing with the Nendoroids

That's a bit disappointing. We could have used a few more characters, but I guess it's understandable if the sales weren't up to scratch.

Well, don't be entirely dismayed. Digimon was thought dead after Beelzemon and Omnimon, but it's going through a revival after other figures sold better.
Maybe if they released normal Blaziken instead of Mega, they would've gotten better sales...

I guarantee they would have. The Megas were still relatively new and not what people were used to. Blaziken may be pretty popular, but that popularity came long before the Mega existed.

Because with the exception of Mega Blaziken (based on it still being available on AmiAmi at 50% off >_<), my impression was that they all sold really well. Mewtwo (getting a reissue and all) and Charizard especially. How do we truly know how they performed?

It's been over a year since its release, though, so can't help but feel it is over.

I want to keep hope, mainly because Pokemon is my jam, but it is kind of likely...
I'm not a big fan of Blaziken, but I kind of want to release him. It's a popular Pokemon overall, so I'd hope that by releasing him, the sales would show that Pokemon Figuarts isn't a lost cause...

Anyway, in other news.

Over 5 years old, but I just stumbled upon it today (So old that it was made before Snivy's English name was confirmed :lol). I thought it was funny
Oh, Seviper. You may technically be weaker, but you'll always be cooler~

I completely forgot Snivy's japanese name. :lol

Do you think we could see Pokken Tournament at EVO next year?

Depends if the game gets a huge competitive scene really quick.

I don't think so, myself.
Perhaps as a sub tournament, but probably not actively streamed.

Maybe if Nintendo pushes it to be there then I could see it. But it would actually involve Nintendo getting off their ass and helping set up for tournaments of their own god damn games. And then they'd also have to support Smash 4, since it'd be weird if they didn't, and then the Melee people would get pissed....

Melee people would get pissed if the game ran smoothly.

And even though it's Nintendo's game doesn't mean they have to actively support it's tournament scene. Hell, it took Nintendo years for them to acknowledge competitive Pokemon.

Mewtwo getting reissued does suggest that one sold well, but Venusaur and Blastoise were still available with massive discounts until relatively recently (Venusaur especially). Charizard probably would have got a reissue if all the demand came during the initial orders, but it shelfwarmed for months after release before disappearing and then everyone decided they wanted one.

And Lucario's still pretty easy to get a hold of despite being ranked as one of the most popular Pokemon. So I doubt getting regular Blaziken instead of the Mega would have made much difference in the long run.

Transferred Pokemon are going to start being allowed in Ranked battles in ORAS starting on the 15th in one week.

Press conference in 3 hours about Pokemon's future business strategy (news from Serebii):
Any ideas people?

That sounds pretty interesting. I honestly don't have much of a clue what could be announced. Gen 7, continuation of Gen 6, or perhaps another offshoot. I dunno.

I hope they announce a new game.

Even if a New Main Game isn't announced during this, we'll be getting info on the green blob and what is most likely Zygarde's alt forme in a few days from Corocoro.

Pokemon Go huh? Interesting, although I imagine it isn't what fans want, I think it's interesting just because they are teaming up with a western developer to do this AR thing.

Not interested. (Don't even have a smartphone anyway)

Call me when X/Y 2 finally get announced...

At least this Spin Off game can connect to the main games >_>

Here's the video announcement:

Pretty darn excited. I've really been enjoying mobile games as of late, and this is basically that Google April Fool's thing that was done some time back made into an actual game. If they integrate this with the 3DS games, even better!
