I had some really weird Shiny luck yesterday, not only did I find a fifth Shiny Hoothoot but I then proceeded to find two Shiny Nosepass within five minutes of each other. And none of those were spawned with the help of a Sparkling Power sandwich.

Today appears to be fairly standard. I found a third Shiny Mimikyu in a Mass Outbreak I was whittling down, the first warning popped up shortly before it spawned so I had a Shiny rate of 1/1,024.38 (30-59 Mass Outbreak Pokémon defeated and Shiny Charm) at that moment.

Oh, and apparently you can get the Misty Mark (previously only obtainable in SWSH and BDSP) in Kitakami by mucking about near the unclimbable cliffs near edge of the explorable map. Sometimes the game will think you're going out-of-bounds and cause fog to generate and that causes any Pokémon that spawn during that that time to have a chance at having this "unobtainable" mark.

EDIT: I found a Twitter post going into more detail on how to get the Misty Mark on Pokemon found in Kitakami, apparently there are specific locations where these ”fog points” are (with one being impossible to trigger when playing solo) and which Pokémon are found around it.

You literally go out on a date in both Gen 5 games if I recall correctly

To be fair Gen 5's protags (along with XY's, remember that an NPC gives you the TM for Protect after your "date" with Shauna at Parfum Palace) are noticeably older than any mainline game's protags before or since, IIRC they're around 15-16 years old.

Love this guy's work. Also glad to see my boys Swampert and Incineroar had some good moments. Also want to point out how awesome the powered up Hisuian Typhlosion is.

Pokémon’s Latin American International Championship is going on right now and two distribution codes have gone out.

For the TCG Live app, you can use the code ParadoxLAIC to add a Secret Illustration Rare Iron Valiant ex (an image of the card is attached below) to your account. The code only works once per account, there’s a 100,000 redemption limit, and the code expires on November 27th.

On the video game side they’re giving away a Lv. 50 Dragapult (with max IVs) based off of the one used by Alex Gómez Bernia at NAIC, who ended up taking 1st place in the VGC Masters division. To get it, you have to use the code LA1CPHANT0M4CE in the Scarlet & Violet’s Mystery Gift feature. The Pokémon’s EV spread also matches the one used by Alex at NAIC too. It may be a bit of a nothingburger but I strongly encourage Scarlet players pick this event ‘mon up since the Dragapult line is exclusive to Violet.

Oh, and a word of warning about the video game code: if you‘re holding onto any past Tera Raid events or special Mass Outbreaks then redeeming this code will cause it to update to the current Tera Raid events and special Mass Outbreaks, all of which feature Eevee.

Honest question, does the Sonic fanbase have this much of an autistic dedication to finding new glitches for speedrunners?

Speedrunning, if not video game records in general, is autism incarnate. Just look at how autistic the Super Mario 64 speedrunning gets.

My sweet summer child, you have seen NOTHING yet.
People have been breaking apart the first gen games like a hobby for decades now, at this point I have more fun glitching these games out than actually playing them myself. Everyone knows about Missingno and how to catch Mew(and literally any other Pokemon), but what people don't know is that there are a ton of other glitch Pokemon, ones that you can transfer to gen 2 via time capsule and vice versa for legit gen 2 Pokemon. There is also ways to literally reprogram the game on the fly using various ACE methods, usually thru item manipulation but I've also seen it done by just riding around on a bike. Among the craziest things I've seen with the game would be a virus that is spread by trading Pokemon and can spread to other games indefinitely, and some dude programming in Pong minigame within the game itself
This is not mentioning the more mundane stuff, like getting new pokemon early, getting infinite items, using walkthru glitches to get around the map, various exploits to skip gym leaders ect. The game is held together by duct tape and good wishes so whatever you can name, you can probably do. You've got to wonder past a certain point how this game even functions in the first place, it might be one of the more glitchy and janky pieces of software I have ever run on any hardware. You haven't truly played Pokemon until you've seen the first gen games absolutely shit themselves for your amusement, go on youtube and look up "Pokemon Superglitch", the creepypastas have nothing on this.

My favorite is by far this Pokemon Yellow TAS from about half a decade ago. I’m not going to spoil it, just keep in mind that this is all being done within Yellow, and nothing is edited in. Though it is using a special emulator that allows for sub-frame inputs.

I started emulating Ultra Sun on an old Intel chip just to see if it could do it, then increased it to 150% speed. It dips sometimes but it's not bad.

Black & White and Black & White 2 were both terrible games.

This is true.

The last good Pokémon game was Ultra Sun & Moon.

Lmao no. The last good ones were HeartGold and SoulSilver (if we include remakes. Diamond/Pearl/Platinum if we're just talking about the mainline series). It's the last time the franchise had good gameplay, aesthetics, design and the games were made with soul. I feel like after that the original devs of the first 4 generations started leaving after HGSS because the Pokemon design went to shit along with the actual gameplay in quick succession.

That's been a thing in the official games since Generation 8 and should have been a thing since Generation 4. So this change is actually good.

It's dumbed down like shit, area evolutions were dope and creative. The only drawback is the availabilty.

Why do you get Leafeon right after 2nd Gym in Platinum but Glaceon in the lategame before 7th gym when you get better ice types like weavile, mamoswine and frosslass?

There should be a corridor in Mt. Coronet that leads to a separate area of Route 216 where you could catch low level ice types and evolve your Eevee. Drayanos Renegade Platinum hack offers a solution like this.

Nobody ever uses Glaceon in platinum.

Also as a Vikavolt fanboy it's kinda annoying you can only evolve it lategame. At least they fixed this in Ultra sun.

While I like how Renegade Platinum made Route 216 accessible earlier in the game allowing for way earlier Ice-Types, area-based evolutions are still fucking gay as shit. Particularly with how it was implemented with Leafeon and Glaceon. Again, these two Pokemon could have easily been stone evolutions, if it weren't for Game Freak's autism at the time.

I don't know why they devoted an entire section of Sinnoh to the Ice type when there's like 4 Ice type evolutionary lines in the entire game. Snorunt again? Awesome.

I fully support post gen evos, they can bring some much needed life into a past Pokemon. Baby Pokemon, on the other hand, I never got: They got no competitive potential, are weaker than all the other Pokemon when playing single player, don't even get the benefit of being good with Eviolite since there is always another evo in that line that can use it as well, and only gain a few niche moves in their baby form while being a pain in the ass to evolve(Friendship). There were going to be much more baby Pokemon than in the final Gen 2 releases as well, if the Spaceworld leak is anything to go off of, and what's there already feels like it's unnecessary. Baby Pokemon introduced after Gen 2 are even more confusing, who asked for the likes of Munchlax or...umm, Azurill? Had to look that one up just about now because that's how forgettable it is.

Adding to this, the vast majority of them require one parent to be holding a specific kind of incense.
