My favourite Pokémon is Piplup. Who could resist this little cutie?

I decided to do this as well; the link is here if anyone else wants it. I appreciate how comprehensive it is, but there were still a lot of tough choices to make.

love this little fella, probably my favorite pseudo in the series. I don't even care that he has a quad Fairy weakness, he still kicks major ass
Since you already got Hydreigon out of the way, I wanna bring up Torterra instead.
A giant turtle with a forrest on its shell is just an objectively cool monster design.

Did I do it right

Haxorus and Sandslash are tied for first place. The first was basically my starter in one of my favorite games and the latter just has a flawless design and carried me through a ROM hack I really enjoyed.
What ROM hack?

Immaculate taste
Best pseudo, hands down
absolutely criminal that he was robbed of a decent Paradox even if I still like Jugulis, it's hard to deny that it's an incredibly wasted opportunity. Even the lazy route of just reverting it to its beta form as a tank dragon would've been cooler!
Wait... how is Jugulis an incredibly wasted opportunity?

See this face.

Now look at this.

It's a suicide bomber in the body of a cute little kitten. Look me in the eye, and tell me that isn't the greatest thing GameFreak has ever made.
*looks at you in the eye*
That isn't the greatest thing GameFreak has ever made.

Myself, I am partial to Heatran. I feel that I am the only one who cares about him.

Fire Red Rocket Edition

it's literally just Hydreigon
It's just Hydreigon with a coat of metal paint and severed limbs
They did absolutely nothing new with it- didn't even change its color scheme, didn't give it a better typing, nothing
I like Hydreigon, so I like Jugulis, but it's the most laughable excuse for a Paradox since Iron Moth and Scream Tail and I genuinely thought those were the absolute bottom of the barrel when they first leaked
Even when Scream was just a pair of yellow eyes

don't worry, if you were around in the competitive metagame 10+ years ago you'd be surrounded by likeminded people

Thank you.

...I wan to put your ideas of Future Hydreigon in a different version of my hack, now.

...in a competitive scene, yes, but not Heatran the character himself.
 
but I didn't suggest any?
I mean...
...you said that even its old concept of being a tank dragon is an improvement. That would be an interesting take on Hydreigon.

Fair enough, but it's a species. There isn't really any character to it lol. It's a neat enough design though
Yes. That is what I mean.
 
In case you all missed it, this weekend is the Decidueye Raid. It’s unintentionally the easiest 7 Star Raid, because all it needs is a Miraidon and a Bellibolt to play Support, because this ones a Flying Type Raid.
yeah, once you end up with people without shit pokemon, beating decidueye is pretty easy. my party consisted of a 2 miraidon, a bellibolt, and my toxtricity. my toxtricity is fucking garbage, not EV-trained, no maxed IVs, but what i did was i gave it taunt, spark, acid spray, and overdrive. taunt decidueye so it can't boost/lower stats, acid spray to lower special defense, and overdrive as a main attack, and spark is just there because idk. point is, lower its special defense so that miraidon and bellibolt can actually do damage, and hope to christ you can survive more than a single attack so you don't lose time.

edit: i think i intended to give toxtricity nuzzle to replace spark because nuzzle, while doing low damage, guarantees paralysis and is 100% accurate. would've been useful against decidueye, but it ends up that decidueye is actually pretty fucking slow normally.

I just went with miraidon solo, 3 metal sounds to drop sp def, one charge to boost electric attack then popped an electro drift while electric terrain was still up. Wiped decidueyes whole HP bar in one hit. Didn't even have EV investment.

You have great taste. Swampert is my favorite, with Hydreigon in a close second, Chandelure in third.

Some other personal favorites are Gengar, Cofagrigus, Trevenant (have I mentioned Ghost type is my favorite typing?), Incineroar, Exeggutor, Scolipede, Heracross, Crobat, Scyther, Yanmega, Aerodactyl, Blastoise, Rhydon and Nidoking.

We just use Bellibolt and hope to not match with a retard.

Literally the raid I caught mine, I had a Bellibolt, there were 2 Miridon’s, and still some tard insisted on bringing a “totally legit Shiny Azumarill”. GF really needs to stop hand holding on making people remember Type Matchup’s…
 
The anime ended nicely. Exactly as it should. With Ash just randomly picking a path and going because it was the adventure and the Pokemon that he cared about. The Gym Challenge was really just the excuse.

Seeing Pidgeott again made me happy

I hope the SV anime goes well.

A large issue with Ash was it was clear the Gym Challenge probably should have ended in DP and they just lengthened it out.

I would not mind just watching Ash do episodic stuff forever but I understand why they don’t.

Focusing on fresh new characters that may only be around for a series or two actually allows them to plan out a story and character arc and actually give definative endings.

Which will just make the series stronger overall
