I get that the TCG people are struggling to come up with a thousand different names for new attacks that they haven't already used before, but what the fuck kind of Fallout 3 / Loony Tunes shit is this?

I think you're wrong but knowing how kids don't have any standards nowadays I hope you're wrong.
There'll be a fair few kids with nostalgia for it as they get older, but imo the analogy is backwards; Gen 7 was pretty positively received when it came out and it kept that consensus in the years after because dexit and almost everything that came after being dogshit. Sure, some people were complaining about tutorial island but that paled in comparison to the sheer vitriol BW got for daring to try recreate the experience of Pokemon's launch for a new Gen - in my experience holding an overall negative opinion of Gen 7 wasn't really mainstream until like 2021, while BW's reputation was already being rehabilitated by 2014.
When people start waxing nostalgic about Gen 5, they'll praise both BW and BW2; the former has a very solid campaign and interesting writing, the latter has gameplay and postgame content nearly on-par with Platinum/HGSS. No one accuses one of being a demo for or detracting from the other. That isn't the case with Alola; USUM are questionable sidegrades over SM; unlike BW2 they don't build on the first games as a sequel and unlike Emerald and Platinum they aren't clearly better gameplay experiences for anyone other than the most obsessive legendary hunters. Moreover, the Alola games are questionable sidegrades over the Gen 6 games; they're not particularly ambitious so there's not even much to appreciate in terms of what could have been like XY.
I also think a Gen 7 'comeback' is hobbled by its forced Gen 1 nostalgia. The Gen 5 games were unapologetically their own; even when Gamefreak backpedaled with BW2 and introduced a bunch of old mons it was a pretty even spread of favorites from all the past regions, while Pokemon Conquest frontloaded Gen 5 Pokemon. The Alola games ramped up the Genwun pandering from XY to absurd degrees, and the Pokken switch port couldn't even be bothered to add any Gen 7 mons other than Decidueye. It's going to be hard to be nostalgic for a Generation that was transparently nostalgic for something else.
The only thing that I think Gen 7 clearly has over Gen 5 is the anime, but by that point most of the people actually invested in Ash winning had checked out after Kalos, and then they finally sunsetted him.

but i found something better
A SHINY SPRITZEE AND SHINY
this was after a dry spell where the last two shinies i found were a carvanha and yet another pidgey, so i'm fucking hyped.
now i just need to trade spritzee with a sachet and do a tradeback. but i can do that whenever.

I looked through these moves to see if they were different in Japanese, because Pokemon game moves can sometimes be screwed up a little in localization, but most of these are pretty literal translations (though Everyone Explode Now is phrased the same in Japanese as Surf Together, they're both moves where multiple Pokemon use a move together, Surf or Explosion). However, Offensive Needle is actually Annoying Needle. Or I guess it could be offensive not in the sense of attacking, but in the sense that Ariados/Qwilfish calls you a nigger while it stabs you. And Hocus Pinkus was originally something like Pump Lovin'.

Oh man, i'm playing every special edition starting from Pokemon Yellow and finishing with Pokemon Platinum. In fact, i'm in Platinum right now.
Isn't any special editions post-gen 4?

TCG pocket did a cool theme with the ultra beasts and named all moves after niche music genres.
I'd never think id see Psychobilly mentioned in pokemon.

Maybe this is the wrong place for this question, but on a homebrew, is there any way to spoof in-person event Pokemon, like ones handed out at movies years ago. I have the data for some supposedly, but how would that little file translate into using it on a homebrew game?

You mean a game running on a modded DS or 3DS, right?
For Gen 4 and 5 games, you can connect to the fan server over wifi. They host almost all of the mystery gifts released for those games (including a few unofficial ones like the Azure Flute) on a seemingly-random rotating basis. Whenever you search for a mystery gift, you'll get a different one. So you can just decline the gift and search again if you want a different one.
Here are the various lists of event distributions, and here's another resource for the ~2% of times when Bulbapedia has incomplete information. The fan server will give you stuff from most languages.
For pirated copies of games, as long as your game's data is legit (or legit-enough to connect) and your wifi works, it should work just like it does with a proper retail game.
There's also apparently a way to use custom e-reader cards to get Gen 3 events, but that's not an option for most people.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any method like this that works with other generations.
If you want to transfer these Pokémon and you care about the appearance of legitimacy:
For Gen 4, the met date is set when you pick up the Pokémon from the courier in the Poké mart. So you can get the mystery gift from that screen, go into the game, pick it up, check the OT to see which specific distribution it was from, then look up the dates for that distribution, not save, restart your system, set the date to the distribution's date, restart the game, and then pick it up, and then save.
For Gen 5, the met date is set when you accept the mystery gift. So you'd need to decide on the Pokémon that you want beforehand, look up the date of their distribution, and then keep resetting mystery gifts until you see the right one. But there are also way fewer distributions in Gen 5, so it's not too bad.
Also, I've transferred Pokémon that I've gotten from the event mystery gifts hosted by this fan server up through Bank and into Home, and as far as Game Freak and TPC are concerned, they're 100% legit.
But if you were talking about emulating a game on PC, though, then I'm not sure.
And if you meant a romhack game, then I have even less of an idea what would work and lmao at me for going on and on about the wrong thing

It depends on what you consider a special edition/third version:
BW2 are sequels to the original BW but they also have the upgrades you see in third versions.
Gen 6 straight up didn't have one.
USUM are the third version of SuMo but they're split in two to get more shekels and are hardly better than base SuMo.
The Switch games replaced special editions with DLC.
Alongside what @Grayback said, you can also use PKSM or PkHex to inject mystery gifts into your game, but PokeHex requires transferring your save file onto your PC and then transferring it back using Checkpoint (assuming you're using a modded 3DS, on emulators you can use PkHex without issues).
I used the fanmade servers, they're pretty good for gen 5 but connecting gen 4 games to modern routers is a massive pain, they won't connect to WPA routers so you have to downgrade to WEP, which not all routers are capable of and it poses a security risk.

Well, basically Yellow (Gen 1), Crystal (Gen 2), Emerald (Gen 3) and Platinum (Gen 4). I really dislike having 2 versions of the game game but with differences. The special editions are more condensed in content IMO.
Are they? Meh, i'm gonna investigate after finishing Platinum.
Well, that gen was quick and ended with the gen 3 remakes.
Damn, sounds very bad.
The isles and shit? Not interested.

...not really.
- Gen 5 was rumoured to have a Pokémon Grey, bu the Pokémon company deliberately subverted expectations.
- Gen 6 was obviously intended to have a Pokémon Z... bu that never came to pass. The closest would be the sequel Pokémon Legends: Z-A, bu that has its own problems.
- Gen 7 did have its own special edition: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon.
- Gen 8 and 9 instead implemented any special edition material in their DLC.
There are ROMs of ficial DS event cartridges. There ar even injectors of events that did not have dumped cartridges but can be put into ROMs of those that did. You can even make your own events.

Iirc this is what happened with XY and ORAS too, they had much better reputations around their release, but I think towards the end of the 3DS era they started to be more criticized, when it was more and more obvious there wouldn't be a (conventional) pokemon Z.
I actually think Alola's current reputation is fine: Good despite their flaws. Tbh the things USUM does do well (gameplay, pokemon selection, easy access to BP and move tutors), it does them very well. If SV or ZA had like half or even a third of the game be genuinely great, that would be ground breaking by modern pokemon standards.
I think the reason they choose to make unova sequels instead of third versions was that base BW was already great on it's own. They few problems with BW, the pokemon selection and lack of postgame replayability was fixed in B2W2 as well (doubled pokedex size, battle tower where you can gain exp, and if course the PWT. Since the flaws weren't nearly as major as other first pair games they could go all out with making a completely new experience in the same region.

I believe that most cell phones' wifi hotspots are compatible with Gen 4 games. So if you have a router that's too new to connect, try a hotspot (if your phone / plan lets you do that).
But I don't know the details for how to do that because my ancient router is from 2011 and connects to all of this old stuff just fine.

I know I'm pretty late about this, but CandyEvie, a Poketuber I like to put on as background noise whenever I'm drawing, seems like she's crashing out.
I kinda feel bad, considering she does seem pretty swell.
