I'm glad the regional forms expanded beyond just gen 1 this time. Quite lovely.

I desperately hope you just shut the fuck up.

Not only that but they gave Linoone an evolution. I have to admit, that's the best news the game has had at all

I'm surprised this wasn't the first thing shown after E3. If I was facing backlash over things not coming back; I would definitely want to put out news saying "hey, popular features are coming back!"

Just glad to see they're continuing with regional forms and cross-gen evolutions (kind of) really. Looking forward to seeing what else they can pull out the hat...

The first one who draws fan art of four Obstagoon cosplaying as KISS officially wins the internet.

Considering how fast the fandom works, it might've happened already.

I always wish they did some type of armor evolution for Pokemon.

With the announcement of another cross gen evolution, makes me hope that we get some kind of steel type Eevee (To go with the whole British industrial theme) :lol

Even though it's not the same kind of animal, I shall name my Obstagoon Retsuko.

It’s a badger. Bewear is better for that, but I see the logic.

I shall name one “Tommy Brock.” Or “Lendri-elil.”

Or “Chaim Witz.”

I watched Detective Pikachu tonight and it was better than I thought it was going to be. It is far from a great movie, but they did a good job on making the world of Pokemon come to life. The only thing I didn't like about the movie is that the story was rather predictable. I did think the movie did a good job on making a balance between family friendly and fun entertainment for adults watching as well (Unlike Bumblebee in my opinion). The movie also had some good laughs as well.

I love the special effects in this movie because they did a good job on making the Pokemon look realistic, but still faithful to the original designs. Overall, kids and fans of Pokemon will really enjoy it. If you not a fan of Pokemon, you may want to wait for on Netflix or on FX to try it. I give it a 7/10.

What Pokemon do you all use to represent you? For me it will always be Sableye.

I usually use greninja

If we’re talking favorite Pokémon, Black Kyurem. I’ve had it as the main Pokémon on my teams since Black 2.

Represent me?
Dunsparce, for being utterly worthless.

Aw, want some of my gems? They are very tasty.

Most important reveal here:

Qwilfish is in the game

Lmao a friend of mine JUST said this on a discord server as his favourite Pokemon is Qwilfish

Slug boy represent.

I like the shiny ones.

I have it Shiny.

World Championships in London next year. Not happy with that.

Worlds in Vegas 2021 or else.

Finally watched Detective Pikachu, it was ok at best. Fuck you Mewtwo is not the strongest Pokemon when you say that in front of statues of Arceus, Dialga, and Palkia.

I'm not familiar with the Detective Pikachu mythos, but couldn't one argue that they may not be aware of their existence? They're mythical Pokemon from millennia ago in complete control of space and time, who left no trace that they were real.

It's kind of like the whole religion debate.

What's wrong with that?? There's more places in the world than America.

Even then you got legendaries on Earth that are still stronger than Mewtwo.

My severe money issues would like a word with you.

Also the fact that what money we currently have is going towards moving there by the start of next year.

And I'm sure there a players in Europe who've had the exact same situation in other years, especially since this year was the US.

Worlds has ALWAYS been held in the US (Except 2013 when it was in Vancouver, Canada)

Which is kind of the point. Maybe it's time to give other countries a chance, one of the reasons being what Akiba mentioned.

I would, except when I’ve never had the opportunity to attend one primarily due to my aforementioned money issues.

If I ever go to one then I will have less reasons to complain, but right now, Worlds 2020 in London is IMO insult to injury on my current financial situation.

If you consider something being held in a different country an insult when you already couldn't and likely never will be able to go, that says a lot about how little you care about others

Likewise. I'm English, and have lived here in the UK my whole life. I'm very poor. It would cost me £400+ just for the flight to America in-general, and up to even £700+ depending on where in the US it is held. This isn't even including hotel bills and the like. I would never be able to afford that.
It'd be just £20 to get to London from were I live - which, even with hotel bills, would be far, far less than even half the price of a ticket to the US.

It's unfortunate that, for various reasons, you've been unable to attend before...but there are thousands of people all across Europe, for whom America has simply been too far to travel to, but London is much more accessible - they deserve a chance too.
Besides, there was never any indication that Worlds would be held anywhere near to where you live in the US even if it were being held in America. You mentioned you're gonna be living around Vegas? What if Worlds was held on the East Coast again?


Mmhmm. And I was upset that, after leaving the US for Canada, Worlds went back to the US in 2014. What's your point?

I hope the sword and shield season have a new animation art because the current one is sucks.

New Pokémon info from the Direct yesterday

I bought a Pokemon book last weekend.

And they ruined the name. Sirfetch’d means nothing in regards to the origin of the duck as an unlikely occurrence as a duck that comes bearing green onions is certainly far-fetched.

To be fair, Farfetch'd's name has nothing to do with the Pokemon itself. A duck bearing a green onion isn't out of the ordinary.

Farfetch'd is still called Farfetch'd, so I really don't understand the complaint.

Either way I love this evolution a lot; I was considering Shield because of Goomy, but now Sirfetch'd and Zacian have it cornered two to one...
