TPC is losing its stronghold , with the TCG losing nearly half of its December revenue. If we're supposed to believe Sensor Tower, Pokemon Go did even worse in January with a total of $37m. Go Tour should boost Go's numbers with the new fusion and some returning legendaries, but we'll see. They really fucked up last month.

Great news, I'm glad. That tranny update was horrific.

Unless the new cosmetics covered more of your doughy, pedo-bait avatar, newer cosmetics aren't getting purchased because a lot of them look like shit. To be honest with you, the other Revisiting updates (Revisiting Kanto being the biggest offender) and the Max content are much worse than the avatar updates because Gmax and Dmax is more or less pay-to-win. They broke the adventure synch feature right around Rookidee's release, and they've yet t to address it. Unless it's Gmax Pokemon or a Pokemon I missed out on like Enamorous and Hoopla, I don't bother with events and community days. PvE and PvP are beyond broken, and Niantic doesn't care.

This won't give TPC and Niantic a reality check because Go isn't their main bread and butter. The plushies/merch (and Blackrock's bailout money) keep TPC alive, and Niantic is more about the AR technology than their games. Nantic can move on from the games, and be more tech-oriented unless they develop a really bad reputation or do something catastrophically stupid with their DEI hires. The fanbase is too cucked to put their feet down on TPC (I'm guilty of this too).
 
Natu is good because it is borb.

And I like the American Indian vibes. Totem pole mfers.

I keep forgetting xakus name, cause of Warframe though.
 
Finally evolved my Wailmer to Wailord. Mirage Island is a good spot to train, one of the features of Revelations Emerald is that once you beat the Elite Four, it's always there by default and it has some new Pokemon.
This means I can finally start the long overdue Regi questline. Hopefully I can wrap this up in a few days.
 
I'm almost done with BDSP's Pokédex in HOME. I just have to do some evolving in PLA/SV, breeding the Lucario line in BD, catch Mesprit, and somehow get a BDSP-origin Palkia.

I also realized that, since I have access to PKSM and regular Pokémon Bank on my CFW-running 3DS, I could fill the missing gaps in my over HOME Pokédex with ease. I guess my only concern is if the injected event Pokémon will pass HOME's hack checks.

EDIT: I mixed up two different Pokémon storage-related homebrew apps and replaced the one I thought I had with the one I've already installed.

I have a feeling that's in large part due to TPCi actually shipping out less product to distributors that month over previous years, products containing Surging Sparks packs were (and still are) notoriously hard to get. As to why that's the case I suspect that TPCi was more interested in buffering Prismatic Evolutions' release in January and even that was such a clusterfuck that their official TCG-centric Twitter account had to post a statement about how they're gonna print more products but this is something they've said in the past and failed to actually commit to.

I know that the reporter is meant to look like a Pansage but he bears a passing resemblance to that one extremely perverted student from My Hero Acadamia that would creep on his classmates.

1000006370.jpg I'm on this autistic on and off journey to complete the ingame dex in each generation and eventually move them all up to Home so I can stare at a complete Home Dex in my phone. I finished Blue on the 3DS and now I'm moving to Crystal.

I'm making things easier for myself by allowing less than legal methods for unobtainable events and transfers to fill in the dex. I won't need to catch the 151 Kanto Pokemon in Crystal, I'll just catch the 100 Johto Pokemon, transfer my 151 Kanto Pokemon and suddenly complete Gen 2 National Dex. When I get to Gen IV I won't need to grind for the 1% Honey Encounter Munchlax and Heracross, I'll just use the Heracross from Colosseum and breed a Snorlax from Gen III.

Gen III looks like it'll be the hardest gen since it can't transfer from previous gens. But after that things should presumably bw easier since it'll just be more of I catching the new pokemon of each gen and transferring the returning ones in.

Yeah they will. I've got a bunch of event wondercard injected and dns exploit pokemon that went through Home just fine. This Mew I got in Blue came from projectpokemon's file of the legit VC Mew event and it went through fine.

I've played every Switch Pokemon game but the only game I actually bought was Violet which is why Paldea's the only decent looking one. But one day I'll get to stare at an almost completed screen almost because fuck the Go Dex
 
Happy Birthday to our favorite Giygas doppelgänger. Still my favorite legendary. Not on the box, not in the story, just a destroyed building and some notes. You, the 10 year old child, need to put together the story yourself.

The Turtwig line was imo the best grass type line starter there ever was. Plus Torterra is such a badass Pokemon. I hope it gets some love soon with ZA. I would love a new form or mega for it.

Gen 4 was my least favorite gen, but this was the first starter i went with when I played DPP. Eventually Empoleon grew on me more, but I still like Torterra. It's just that 4x ice weakness that's a bit of a turn-off. I had enough of that with the dragons the last 3 gens before that.

Does Sinnoh have an Ice type gym, now that I think about it?

Yeah Candice in Snowpoint City. Sinnoh was actually very kind to Ice types and she uses all either new Ice mons or their prevos. Her rematch in Platinum is all Gen 4 Ice Types with Weavile, Mamoswine, Abomasnow, Froslass and Glaceon.
 
Speaking of Ice types...

Was there a reason why Hail had to be replaced with Snow? Like was it really THAT much of a nuisance in battles? What makes Sandstorm O.K. and not Hail?

Ice is a shit type and having its weather condition do damage probably hurt it further. I'm well aware of its extreme standout members like Weavile and Chien-Pao, but the vast majority of Ice type mon are not geared towards the type's strengths and are subsequently very hard to use. They probably wanted to give those guys a leg up, especially with Hisuian Avalugg entering the scene at the same time (and being even more unusable than its original form), and ended up just overshadowing them further by boosting the good ice types that much more.

A lot of problems of ice type comes from its many weakness and I fucking hate it because I do really like most ice type mons.
I think the tcg did gave ice types better spotlight, but its not really that helpful, everyone get to shine in tcg.

Maybe they wanted to give Ice a weather thats more unique than just being a sandstorm clone?
I wish they gave snow a bit more secondary effects but the 50% defense increase for Ice types is huge and can even make something like Weavile way more durable than you'd expect it to be.
