General Pokémon Thread

I also stopped watching after Johto, but I still play the games from time to time. A lot of the time, I replay gen 1 and gen 2.

Breaking news! It's confirmed that there is a Galarian Ponyta. According to Wikipedia, it may be Ghost/Fairy type in this regional form. Curiously, it may be based on unicorns because the unicorn is a Scottish symbol, along the lion.

Wait, the Pokémon anime is still going on? Somehow I got the impression that it had finished years ago. I guess that's just because I haven't seen it in well over a decade.

[Steo]

Same here, I used to see it on Sky One back in the day before I went to school. I was only about 7 at the time and there were no channels that showed Pokémon here in a long time, or if there were, they showed old episodes. I was also surprised to hear the anime was still going too last year.

Pokémon is a behemoth of a franchise, I think the anime series surpassed the 1,000th episode mark last year. Btw, my favorite unicorn in Pokémon is still Rapidash:

I only really remember Kanto from the anime, where Team Rocket was mainly Jassie and James, and Ash had a Pikachu.

[PluMGMK]

You're saying Ash doesn't have a Pikachu anymore?

No, Ash has still got a Pikachu since the first episode of the Pokémon anime.

OK good. Just checking.

[Steo]

I just mean from when Ash was the main character, that's basically all I remember about it. If the games are anything to go by, there must have been different characters in the anime.

[12RayChienne9]

It was revealed that the Galarian Ponyta's actual type is simply Psychic. Also, Galarian Ponyta is known as the category "Unique Horn".

- Ash finally wins a Pokémon League. I mean that Ash won the Alola League.

Hallelujah!!!
Tbh after Diamond and Pearl I stopped watching so frequently. I heard X&Y was decent so might watch that series but I’m hesitant to watch the others. But wow, many seasons and series have passed since Ash first went on his journey. What surprises me most is that he’s STILL 10. Like...

[PluMGMK]

With the talk of retiring him on the previous page, I assumed he was getting older.

Can you imagine what would be like Rayman if he were a Pokémon? Some Rayman fans who are also Pokémon fans think that Rayman's Pokémon form is a Pikachu, but in my opinion it would fit better that Rayman's Pokémon form would be a Scorbunny since I have a drawing about what would be like Rayman in other forms appart of his original form.

I said it fits better for Rayman's Pokémon form a Scorbunny because Scorbunny is more athletic than Pikachu and Rayman has got a little bit of rabbit features (such as his hair which looks like floppy ears), whereas Pikachu has got many mouse features.

Speaking of Scorbunny, days earlier it was revealed its evolution through leaks: Scorbunny evolves into Raboot and then into Cinderace.

What do you think about Scorbunny's leaked evolution and the ideal Pokémon form for Rayman according to my viewpoint?

[Elite Piranha]

I searched for "scorbunny evolutions" and I found a lot of fan art and pictures that are fake leaks according to some people. If these images are official, I would say I personally like the designs:

"Google translate is my savior"? In other words this person put translated Japanese on it to make it look legit to Westerners?

I didn't notice that text was there, I just posted some of the first images that I found (that I thought could be legit), I have to be more careful the next time .

Speaking of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, one of the mistakes the developers made when deciding to not introduce the National Pokedex is those Pokémon:



Lillipup and its evolution fit perfectly in Galar because the Yorkshire Terrier originated from United Kingdom. Well, I don't mean to be against the games for not incluiding the National Pokedex, I don't get upset when they decided to not include all Pokémon.

[Cairnie]

They put the Lillipup family in the expansion pack in the end so all is well again. I've got a Stoutland as my walking buddy for Isle of Armor.

I've been playing a LOT of Pokemon games especially throughout lockdown; flipping between UltraMoon, Crystal and Sword but also touching on Black, White 2 and Y here and there. Basically trying to make a living dex in UltraMoon lmfao wish me luck.

Has recently started on Red again. Want to try getting all 151 pokemon. Though that means using cheats since vba can't seem to link with each other
