Pokémon Pokemon General

[LuchaSloth]

I want to watch all of the anime and the movies...but, they make it hard to actually do so. - A few of the early seasons are available here and there. Then a few of the recent seasons are available elsewhere. I've tried to watch again from the start. I tried using the Pokemon tv website or whatever it's called. - Finished all of season 1 at some point, and started season 2, then lost track of where I was.

They need to get every season of Pokemon on a proper streaming service. Don't really care which one...but, the fact that none of the major streamers have tried to make a deal for it is crazy. I just want to be able to start from the beginning and let the episodes auto play one after the other without thinking about anything.

Farewell, Ash and Pikachu.

Spoiler: Episode spoiler

I'm so glad Pidgeot returned. I remember watching the episode when he left, and the promise Ash made to come back for him. Throughout the rest of my childhood, I always used to get annoyed at how he'd seemingly left him behind. Even as an adult, I would sometimes think about that episode.
I also like how the two are continuing their adventures in the background.

Still don't know if I'll tune in to the new series, though. I've come to realize that my frustration with the anime isn't actually Ash and Pikachu, it's the constant use of old Pokemon in a brand new region. Three (four if you include Pika) of his Galarian team were comprised of Pokemon from previous gens, and it looks as though they're mostly aiming for early fan favourites (which mostly aren't my own, sadly) even for characters present in Liko and Roy's story. Time will tell, I guess.

Well Ash and Pikachu are finally departing from the show. I will miss them. They've been part of my childhood.

Don't know if this best goes here or the Scar/Vio topic, but....

I am massively glad that I have Scarlet because I'm in love with lizard-dog.

It's sad that Pokemon has gotten to the point of making bootleg-looking versions of old Pokemon with the absolute most generic names... there's some pretty bad Digimon names... and then there's Iron Leaves.

Following the closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops earlier tonight and Pokémonk Bank becoming free to use until further notice, PokéTransporter is apparently unusable for anyone who didn't currently have an active subscription to Pokémon Bank.

Hopefully just an oversight that can be fixed or just a mishap due to the eShop closures themselves, but not great either way.

Seems it's been fixed now. That's good.

The CEO and President of Creatures Inc have stepped down. Not sure if that's good or bad. We all know that Game Freak were the main problem...so where does this leave things?

It was inevitable that someone was going to take the fall. There are still so many issues that I am surprised there are few firings.

I saw the latest trailer for Pokemon Horizions series and it looks interesting. The main character looks to be shy and is nervous around people and Pokemon. I can relate to her so I hope they make this character likable.

I hate waiting for the Journeys anime to conclude on Netflix. It still has not moved past the Iris/Cynthia fight, and I really want to finish it before Horizons releases.

I haven’t watched the Pokémon anime in forever. I don’t think I even completed a single series… I just watched them sporadically. Maybe I should get into this new one?

 

[Flicky]

I don't suppose anyone knows of any good Pokemon trading discord servers? All the ones I find tend to be more of a general server with a couple of trading channels, usually with a 'trader beware' and that's about it. Would really like to find a dedicated trading one.

Tsunekazu Ishihara is still president of the Pokemon Company. And tbf he's been around since the 90s. Could be just stepping back due to age.

Not sure I see the failures of SV and the stepping down at Creatures relating to each other.

TIL that Sneasel is based of the 'Kamaitachi' yokai.

Incidentally, I also like Sneasel a lot more knowing that he isn't just a weird guy. Lol

I'm going back to Legends Arceus to shiny hunt a bunch of water-type Pokémon (and whatever mons give me summer vibes). I really want to do a shiny giveaway sometime in the summer (and wonder/surprise trade the rest if there are leftovers). Then I'll be on the hunt for ghost types for Halloween. c:​

Has anyone else had any problems trading Pokemon on HOME since the update?

I'm suddenly getting 'You can't trade this Pokemon' on loads of legit Pokemon. I receive them through HOME, trade them to Scarlet, evolve them, then try to trade them back only to be met with this message. Weirdly, I'm still receiving blatantly hacked Pokemon through the Wondertrade and I'm still able to send them straight back out there if I want to.

I haven't experienced it, but I made sure to trade everything I wanted to trade through Home when it first released (for Scar/Vio)... so if this is a recent problem, I'm glad I avoided it. Geez.

Yeah, I've done a bit of digging, and it seems to be a new glitch - the server is flagging up random Pokemon as illegal after they've been evolved in Scar/Vio. There's also a similar glitch with Vivillon forms if you evolve them in Scar/Vio as well. Greeeeeeaaaat.

Hey, so like, I'm making my own Pokemon region and it's based on Nunavut/Northern Territories/ Greenland, and because of the natives there being the Inuit people, the region is called the Mihione region, and the hypothetical names of the games are Pokemon: Remembrance and Pokemon: Neglect! it's a work in progress but i love to think of ideas for it in my free time :>

I forgot the names of the legendaries, but you can find them as well as much more details about the region somewhere posted by me on the Fakemon discord, will have to use the search feature to find things posted by me

How fun and how expected! I'm still having problems with the game freezing in the middle of raids. My expectations for whatever the DLC is are so low I may even forget to play it when it comes out

Game Freak realllllly need to hire some more people. I thought that having the blatant issues was kinda to be expected when the game first released, but to continuously have these problems for nearly a year is ridiculous. They need a bigger team...
