In case you needed any extra "Sinnoh shitmakes are happening" clues:
View attachment 1695440
All fossils except Sinnoh's, and while several gens are still missing them Sinnoh suspiciously is the one generation where none of its mythicals have returned. Also the starters are absent, and while Johto, Unova's and Kalos' are absent too, it's been a trend in remakes for you to be able to get other starters in the post-game.

As a side note Johto got screwed over so hard, only Kanto offshoots and legendaries ffs.

Wouldn’t you assume that a Johto remake is also a possibility on the list? Johto has no fossils to have missing, and otherwise everything else applies.

Despite what many are predicting, I don't see a Let's Go Johto being a thing. Let's Go only happened as a ploy to get Go players on the Switch, that and it being Kanto for the umpteenth time (aka the generation they love whoring out the most). Not to mention, do you really think modern day GF would bother with the return to Kanto segment that everyone loves gen II so much for?

I'll eat my hat if I'm wrong, but the iron's hot to strike for Sinnoh nostalgia at this point (all the kids who started with that gen are at that critical young manchild age).

We'd probably get blue balled like the middle finger of a "Coming Soon" sign they put in the ORAS "Battle Frontier".

I wonder if there are any competitive (for what it's worth) players here. Have any Kiwis played against each other on game cart or Pokémon Showdown?

Never played much on Showdown, but I was big into competitive battling back in the heyday of Gen 4, and I've played with stuff and made some "competitive" specced mons in Shield to fuck around in the Battle Tower and online tournaments. I've never gotten too far along the ladder though as I like to experiment and don't just run the stock standard Smogon sets on mons like everyone seems to do these days.

Shit like Choice Band Golurk is too fun to surprise people with.

Edit: I just looked it up and since they added new moves Choice Band Golurk is now a Smogon set too, shit...

You're telling me. I personally like to run quick claw ditto and cucking my opponent's team with their own pokemon. After all, Imitation is the greatest form of destruction.

Cloud Nine Golduck was so fun to screw around with back in those days, getting a bunch of free turns against sun teams because they didn't know It negated Instant Cast Solar beam was always hilarious.

Shame the thing crumpled like a tissue against anything else.

The fragile or outright underpowered Pokemon are by far the most fun to build around and make teams with, you can get really creative in the ways you use them.

Oh if Golduck had remotely decent stats he would have been super good back in Weather Days, he just explodes if he gets hit.

What does that kind of IQ mean?

Is IQ logarithmic?

I saw a video of someone in Japan who used a Pachirisu in Battle Revolution with attract, sweet kiss, thunder wave, and thunder (IIRC). And speaking of Battle Revolution, I also had my clock cleaned by a Japanese player who used an all-Bug team.

I suddenly remembered today about the Pokémon Deluxe Collector's Edition handbook I had as a kid where the Tangela entry mentioned you could find rare Tangela south of Pallet Town. Tangela was like my white whale in the original games, I never could catch it because the Safari Zone was just ridiculous, and it wasn't until Silver when I could catch it (but it was still fucking hard because they liked to flee). But I remember spending hours in Yellow trying to find one on Route 21 like the handbook stated but then got so frustrated that I gave up thinking the book lied.

The book wasn't misinformed, of course, it was in Red and Blue (then later GSC) that it could be found down there. But I didn't know that for many years especially since my brothers never came across a wild one, either. Man, lil' me was pretty stupid when it came to Pokémon.

I have a theory that the reason why older, mostly millennial fans love Blue and Silver so much is because they can project their childhood bullies on the two characters for their self insert to beat up as wish fulfillment.

I think it's more that they're entertaining characters more than anything else. Dobson might think that, though who gives a fuck what that guy thinks about anything.
 
Just watched Arlo's impression on the dlc. It's pretty unfortunate how there some legitimately fun things in there being dragged down by elements that dragged down the main game too like laziness with visuals.

Been meaning to check this out. The DLC does try to wring out as much potential as it possibly can, but in the end is still held back by Gen 8 being undercooked. Hopefully Gen 9 is better.

Golurk in particular has been blessed so much. A fantastic new physical STAB with Poltergeist and Trick has allowed it to become a versatile powerhouse. One funny thing is that some had started to stop putting items on their Ghost-weak mons (meaning Poltergeist won't work), but Golurk can answer back by Tricking its own item onto them. :story:

Magcargo is hotter than the Sun..and Alakazam has an IQ of 1,200.

There is at least one non-legendary Pokedex entry in every game that is absurd.

It's actually 5,000 but yeah. Pokédex entries have always been a little ridiculous, but the fun thing about it is the fact that the flavor text gives the Pokémon more personality.
Though, I feel Pokémon Adventures manga did a better job at giving Pokémon their own personalities, as well as being much more "mature" with their themes.

An example is that one super huge Haunter that literally eats people's souls.
