    Utterly inaccurate. The six tiles Feebas can be hooked in are determined randomly upon starting a new game. Changing the trendy phrase in Dewford will reshuffle the tiles among all the tiles you can fish in along Route 118, but it's by no means a guarantee which tiles those will be. Even using...
  2. Little things you like about Pokémon

    ... how does one confuse her saying Rose used to work in a coal mine as meaning she worked there as well?
  3. Little things you like about Pokémon

    I find it rather curious that they felt the need to point out Oleana's height rather than draw her next to Rose like they did with Milo compared to Nessa, and then them compared to Piers. I also find it interesting that Bede running his hand through his hair is supposed to show that he's...

    Another thing to consider with Silvally is Multi-Attack. When Dynamaxed, the move seems to just change into Max Strike, but it'll always be used as the Max Move that corresponds to Silvally's current type. (Max Flare for Fire, Max Geyser for Water, etc.)
  5. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    They must have gotten the idea after Hyper Training, that thing you do to make a Pokemon's IVs act flawless without actually making them flawless.

    Assuming of course the needed evolution items are made available before late/post-game. I find it extremely unlikely that Ice Stones in particular will ever be anything but late/post-game even if Eevee were ever to be made available from Route 1. Still, I'd feel worse about taking out the Icy...
  7. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    The Galar ones can, though. (at least Urshifu can) Just... not Zacian, Zamazenta, or Eternatus. But they have signature moves meant to bring down Dynamax Pokemon, and Eternatus in-game is supposed to be the origin of the whole Dynamax phenomenon... But they've got to make getting the Crown...
  8. Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    It likes to hurl itself at its opponents once they've been enraged, so perhaps Body Press represents that. It and the standard Linoone also learn Body Slam.
  9. Little things you like about Pokémon

    Then again you're being asked to pay $30 for them, so... But this does seem to suggest that Game Freak have no plans to put out another Pokemon game/set of games in November. At the very least we're probably not going to see another Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

    Are you sure the Pokemon with Unnerve isn't faster than its opponent that also has an announced ability? (e.g. Intimidate, Mold Breaker)

    Premier looks pretty good with Sirfetch'd, though Luxury would make a nice contrast.
  12. Unpopular opinions

    They've been trying to anthropomorphize Pikachu more. (i.e. a more distinct separation between its head and body, slightly longer limbs) It being the franchise's mascot, it helps for merchandise if Pikachu's body is designed to be more expressive, not unlike the final evolution of the starters...
  13. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Last I listened, Cyrus' theme was one of my favorites among the returning evil team leaders that aren't Giovanni. (which isn't saying a whole lot) Maxie/Archie I much prefer the OR/AS version of their theme, and Lysandre and Ghetsis I prefer their original themes.

    But then why the heck are a few select non-Galar native Pokemon in the game's data? Stuff like the Alolan starters, the other Kanto starters, and a few select legendary and mythical Pokemon. (ignoring Mew because it sells a $50 peripheral... and Jirachi because Tanabata) Old moves don't matter...
  15. Unpopular opinions

    It's possible that either the next generation's games will demonstrate that they just needed to get Sword and Shield out of the way and they're well done, or will somehow be even worse. I'm not holding my breath for the former, personally. Nothing's going to change while Pokemon adheres to an...
