That pissed me off, because Sensu was my favorite design >>
I was planning on using it on my team, but after finding out about that, I used Mimikyu instead.

after meeting red and Green ( Blue for us western fans) mentioning how they where once champions i am curious on who is current champion of kanto. i would love to play kanto region as a new protag not red who need to face elite 4 a new current kanto champion and no i do not think it be gold

It's Lance.
Kanto and Johto share a Champion and E4.

Yeah, I'd say it's either Lance, or Gold/Ethan; seeing as he did canonically beat both Lance and Red.

Well, I don't think it's Gold. By bring canon into it, we can't really say who is the current Champion. Red, Lance, and Gold/Ethan are all champions of the Indigo League, but since we don't have any follow up, we don't know who is the current reigning champion.

Also, Red wasn't the title holder when you beat him.

Island Scan netted me a Sheal or whatever its name is. The round blue seal like Pokemon; it's Water/Ice if I remember correctly.

Spheal~

Thanks; with 800 of so Pokemon sometimes names get lost in the shuffle.

Spheal, one of my favorite evolution lines of all time.

Karate eyes.

No context, only karate.

That's it, I FINALLY got the perfect nickname for Golisopod now

Some how, you made me like it more. Congratulations, I think you just did the impossible.

GTS was being persnickety; why people only want legends and mons at 91?

Wasn't all that bad, got shiny Exeutor out of a trade. Why people like shinies is beyond me, but hey whatever floats their boats. Still want Porygon-2 though.

Yeah, I never get that either.

Trying to complete dex. Need a Vullaby and Lilligant, as well as do some trades to complete the Melemele dex

Because theyre purty.

---lGNORE THIS POST!---

I can get you a Vulaby and a Lilligant if I can find the latter. What's your name on F. Plaza so I know who to give these too?

NEVER!!! I will pay attention to this post until the end of time! :lol

I'm thinking of adding Vullaby to the GTS.

Reggie; it should be the one that asks for Porygon-2 if that helps. Couldn't find Lillgant.

Finally managed to clear one of the normal Battle Tree challenges. Really lucked out as Blue didn't have Alakazam in his team this go around. Was very easy without that as obstacle.

Doubles is pretty easy with the team I'm running, but it's all UBs and a Tapu so I suppose that's to be expected. Nihilego is sooo good though god damn. Now I know why Lusamine wanted one so bad. MV-friggin-P.

Yeah, so long as you can keep physical attackers from even looking at it funny, but plenty of otherwise good Pokémon have similar problems and see regular play.

Ain't that the truth.

Pretty consistent theme among the UBs. Decent stats in some areas but utterly abysmal in others. I lead off with Buzzwole and Nihilego so they each have to seriously look out for Pokemon even considering touching them with an attack to their bad defense. But well, that's what switch-ins are for. Didn't have much problem in the normal challenge, but I expect they'll start getting outsped a lot more often in Super. Nihilego in particular is at a pretty decent speed tier but once you bring Megas and other legends into the equation it stops being as effective.

When it works it works though.

Decent? Let's be honest, they're a little more than decent in their good stats.

Also, I just love how many strange questions and situations the UBs bring up as to what they are and how they relate to other Pokémon, especially to the new trio of this gen, who... are they UBs too? They seemingly all come from the same place, but the Beast Balls don't work on them, so what makes them different?

Heck, can we even consider the Ultra Beasts Legendary, as only Guzzlord seems to actually be unique, with the rest being able to be caught in multiples or Nihilego who we know there are tons of in Ultra Space.

People consider the UB's legendary? I never thought of them as legends mainly because there's an abundance of them on the other side of the hole.

I consider the UBs Legendaries. I recently categorized every Legendary Pokémon in a 3-level class system (Core Legendaries are Class 2 and Mythical Pokémon are Class 3) and I categorized the UBs (and Totems) as Class 1.

My list is on my DeviantArt page if you want to see for yourself.

20th movie just had its title announced and poster revealed!

"Pokemon - I Choose You"

https://i.redd.it/33zbm1sozl3y.png

It's Ho-Oh! Finally!

That poster has me VERY interested!

Not holding my breath. It's been 16 years. I don't believe that they'll make Ho-Oh relevant when we got the Tapus and UB's to give movies to.

Yeahhh... Excitement quickly dashed. :( Here's the teaser.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDQA4fc8tUI

So it's a retelling, which IMO is the most disappointing thing it could've been. Doubt Ho-Oh will really matter much yet again..

I knew Ho-Oh wouldn't get anything special.
Can't be disappointed when your expectations don't exist at all~

So it's Dragon ball path to power?

...Well, if it's nothing more than a graphically updated and condensed version of...

Okay, Pokémon doesn't really have story beats or really an overarching plot, how the heck do you condense it down to its "important bits?" There's not big bad beaten at the end of the Indigo league, our hero loses before the Semi-Finals, which doesn't seem like something you want to end a movie on.

Don't get upset with the first teaser it just the start of the 20th movie hype.

I am very interested to see what this movie will have in it. Since it has the same title as the first pokemon anime ep Pokémon I choose you.

Ash-Pikachu forms and Pikashunium Z confirmed as the events for 2017, I guess. Marshadow saved for 2018.

First the games and anime taking a new direction and now the movies. Finally a movie that isn't about Ash befriending the mythical Pokemon of the year!

Make Gary a relevant figure. Have Ash lose to him instead of Ash 2, I mean New Ash, I mean...Ritchie.
I get the point of why Ash lost to Ritchie (It was to show that he's kind of a bad trainer), but it made Gary kind of irrelevant to even appear during the league.

Honestly, there are 8 "Important bits" in the anime, those being the gyms (Well...7, since the final gym was just another Team Rocket fight). I just don't know how they'll show them off.
If anything, I desperately pray they don't pull an Origins and go "Oh yeah, he beat them, too" and move on.

Currently evolving as much of my Mons as I can before the National Dex drops and that becomes a pipe dream at best. In addtion to Porygon-Z I want Magmortar but GTS is being fucking awful about getting one.

To the people that only want Legendarys, UBs and the overrated Archen line: please try to consider that not everyone is an utter ass like yourselves.

Finally, someone who knows what they're talking about pointing out how bad official tournaments can get

caught a Level 52 Magikarp the other and level it up one to get garados

I just finished training my shiny Primarina named Ashley.

So at this point I'm just evolving the Alolan Pokémon I have to complete the dex.
