Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

Why are most of the legendaries based on chink mythology if the game is set in Poke-Spain?

Weren’t the legendaries originally from a different region that were brought over to Paldea? I did those school classes and the history teacher mentioned that from what I remembered.
Also Hoenn is based off a Japanese region yet its main legendaries are based off Hebrew mythology as well as the Regis.

There are (imo) valid arguments and evidence arguing that the Regis are based on the nukes dropped on Japan

sinnoh legendarys are greek mythology mixed up with the bible. but what origins are the twin dragons from unova based on? Happy Meal® toys?

SHINY SNEASEL

SHINY.
SNEASEL.

so yeah, i caught one. unfortunately it's female, which means it has a shorter earfeather. also it has a nature that gives it -Atk, which fucking sucks for its playstyle. fortunately that at least can be fixed with mints. shiny sneasel is one of my favorite shinies, so i'm pretty fucking hyped regardless.

Chinese philosophy. They're known as the Yin Yang trio.

Generic western dragons with generic eastern dual nature/yin and yang symbolism.

Must've missed that, probably since I didn't pay attention to the classes on account of them being boring as fuck.

Does that mean the (ironically absent) "disk Pokemon" is the only true deity/legendary Paldea has due to most of them having been imported and the box lizards being paradox mutant variants of Cyclizar?

Also, why are there randos just duking it out in Mt. Pyre? I can understand the channelers in the first games - they were being possessed

Honestly as a kid, I didn't believe they were legit possessed and it was just an excuse for why it was they battled random trainers. LGPE's Channeler sprite is more convincing, but I dunno, still think they were just being zealots.

 

[Mac Monster]

Which are your favorite Gen 9 Pokemon (including paradox forms)?
Mine are Sprigatito, Maushold and Tinkaton.
In my opinion, SVs roster of new pokemon is the weakest since Gen 6 but it offers some really creative Designs too.

Clodsire, Skeledirge, and Koraidon are my favorites. Koraidon in particular due to being a cover legendary and not being some all powerful god or manifestation of an abstract concept. Its just some big, goofy lizard that just happens to be incredibly strong.

 

[Shiny Shroodle]

I like messing around in Picnic because sometimes weird stuff happens... like my Gholdengo spinning around while sleeping, I guess locked on to the ball still (?).

Or my Pokémon just staring at the ball like a bunch of hypnotized weirdoes.

Used this ghost in BDSP UU, its coverage is insane. Plus the poison type holds gengar back after it lost levitate, mismagius still floating like a madman with less weaknesses than the OG Ghost.

Iono throwing an electric Tera on her levitating ghost to have no weaknesses is the content Tera was made for

Honorable mention to Larry's Staraptor, because that shit will take people by surprise, especially if you were stalling with paralysis or someshit just to style on him.

Otherwise, it is disappointing that none of the other gym teams have Tera appropriate pokemons.

A few attempt, like the water gym using an ice type to counter grass types but the turn 1 tera just means they always eat a supereffective move. At least the Staraptor is fast enough to potentially mangle your Fighting types.
Imo what they should have had is a check on what type you have to see if they Tera or not. Lets use Brassius' Sudowoodo as an example:
If you had a fire, bug or flying type out, he'd call your bluff on him using Tera and hit you with a rock slide while you ineffectually hit him with an ineffective move. But if you had switched to a water or ground type, he grass tera's to hit you.

Sure, Mismagius is great, but it doesn't have the sheer bulk that Dusknoir has. Shame it doesn't have any reliable physical ghost STAB.

Poltergeist is pretty close, but the reliance on your opponent having a held item holds it back somewhat.

If you have to answer the thirsty messages from paypigs, you fear no man.

100 Attack is not that scary tbh. Dusknoir is cool, sad it's too niche tho.

Dusknoir would be used more if it didn't have the autistic trading requirement to evolve Dusclops. It should have just been added to the species that use dusk stones to evolve along with haunter.

Eviolite Dusclops.

Mismagius has always been my go-to Ghost-type and I've always used one whenever I could since the original Diamond/Pearl. I love that they have access to Power Gem and Mystical Fire because I hardly ever have any Rock or Fire types on hand. Also Energy Ball, Dazzling Gleam, Thunderbolt, need I go on?

I never really used Gengar because trade evolution and even when they became more easily available, they got nerfed anyway. I'll stick with my ghostly Hat Mage and Golden Surfer.

Unfortunately still weak to having its shit pushed in by me, the Main Character, and a squad of 6 wildly overleveled lads due to permanent EZ-share.

Then again, I really liked it when the lady gave teddiursa a lil bug hat.
