    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    I was hoping for "anything main series other than just ILCA BW1", so I'm celebrating. For those who wanted a gap year you've also got that.

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    Completely off-topic but this suddenly reminded me of that June 2021 Direct with Smash in it. For context, people were wildly speculating F-Zero, someone posted "I predict nintendo will execute Captain Falcon live on stage"...and then the Direct opened with Kazuya throwing Captain Falcon off a...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    Just got off work and watched the Presents for the first time - here are some initial thoughts (sorry if duplicate of what's been mentioned already): I don't see the point of the TCG app if you can't even play a game in it that matches the TCG's rules. First gap year since 2015 is very...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    https://gonintendo.com/contents/32491-tomorrow-s-pokemon-presents-is-about-13-minutes-long Called it. The Japanese premiere link has been uploaded, revealing a presentation length of 12 minutes 52 seconds through a metadata leak. I wonder if Youtube will patch this bug because it's on...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    Johto's last game was 2018 if you count Virtual Console Pokemon Crystal :toast: Both Gen 8 and Gen 9 allowed transfer-only mons at the same time, July 1 of the first year. But Gen 8 was hit by covid, delaying Worlds by two more years. I recall the prevailing argument in 2018 being the...

    @Tuoko on the Bulbagarden Discord says that Smeargle is no longer allowed to use Transform. Bye bye dupe glitch :(

    Dec 25 - Jan 7 - Iron Leaves/Walking Wake 5* Raid Rerun

    Unfortunately, event-exclusive Pokemon have been allowed in VGC for ages, with the earliest examples being Dark Void Smeargle, level 50 Dragonite (predating level scaling), and HGSS Giratina-O.

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    For some reason, I remember people talking about something in the game that generated a wondercard and therefore a gift Pokemon, which might have been interpreted as the "PkHex feature". Did I misremember and make this up? Or was there any truth to this at all? (unused datamine, something that...

    Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**

    To be fair to the "defenders" saying it wasn't a bug, that came right after people were also claiming that the legendary shiny lock was a "bug".

    3DS/Wii U eShop Shutdown March 27 2023 - Online Services to go offline April 2024 (Bank Excluded)

    Modded versions of Home already exist (requiring a modded Switch and a modded 3DS of course); they're just permanently incompatible with the real Home (any Pokemon sent through modded Home can never go through real Home in the future). Exactly; if you hack a Pokemon with a Go origin mark into...

    3DS/Wii U eShop Shutdown March 27 2023 - Online Services to go offline April 2024 (Bank Excluded)

    Non-technical explanation: The 3DS has better network security than the DS. (It's the same network security your bank's website probably uses.) The DS: Stranger: Hi, I'm the event server. DS: Ok event server, what events are available? (arbitrarily trusts any stranger that just says it's the...

    Resource RBY Simple Questions & Simple Answers Thread

    Silly question: If there was a serious Japanese Red/Green metagame, would Blizzard be banned? It's almost literally a buffed Sheer Cold (27% chance to freeze permanently, 63% chance to be a 120-power move, 10% chance to miss).

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Early versions of Legends Arceus had a bug where alternate forms of certain Pokemon had catch rates of 0. This meant wild Cherrim were impossible to catch as long as the overworld weather was sunny.

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    In Legends Arceus, for the 2 most annoying Pokemon to find in the first area (Munchlax and Cherubi), the location in the Pokedex is straight-up false. Cherubi's location is supposed to be the Heartwood, but every single tree and spawn point in the Heartwood has a 0% chance to encounter Cherubi...
