Alls i know is that my husband got mad because he, "started the route backwards." and that system seems like a fucking nightmare. But Mega Gallade was added this weekend, and apparently they're still missing Camerupt, Sharpedo, and Metagross megas. Waiting for the ORAS anniversary, maybe?

The whole process is an ordeal that took me 8 months to finish because I was lucky with my living situation (I'm near lots of gym spots). I had to make multiple routes, and go through them to get my cells, but sometimes routes acted up on me where they didn't record my progress. To add insult to injury, cells are not guaranteed. Even if they give us another Zygarde to build up from scratch, I'm never doing that shit again even if I wind up with a hundo. If you love Pvp, and can build a Master League team it's worth it, but Garchomp does Zygarde's job better in PvE. We're also missing Mega Audino and both Mega Mewtwos. They announced Gmax Kingler.

So what are our thoughts on Mega Zygarde and Mega Zeroara apparently being a thing?

Even though there’s a high chance it’s real, I keep being in denial and hoping not.

Mostly just because I really hate Zeraora, it’s in my bottom 30 of all time was bottom 10 before the Switch lowered the bar through the floor and I hate everything about it. The last thing I want is to see EVEN MORE of it after furries have spent the last 8ish years shitting up every single fan project with this stupid thing’s constant appearance. The only hope I have for a mega is that it pulls a Lucario and actually improves the base design enough to make it less awful to look at (since you can just Mega evolve it right away and almost never have to deal with seeing the base mon in battle again).

Mega Zygarde is more just weird. I would’ve been more than happy with a mega Zygarde in gen 6 before all the dumb form shit, but for it to now have 3 separate temporary forms and a mega? How would that even work? Can only Perfect mega evolve? Is every form going to get a new mega? Will only 50% get one because that was the original design? I don’t know, it just seems like more convoluted crap on top of NuPokemon’s already excessive amount of convoluted crap.

Part of me hopes the work emails supposedly declaring their existence were actually just really well-crafted fakes and that neither of these awful ideas are real.
on the other hand, I appreciate them existing because it makes it INCREDIBLY easy to spot obvious fake leaks. They’re easy to spot as-is, but if they never include mention of those two (which a surprising amount don’t) it’s a very good sign to just ignore everything else they have to say.

TL;DR because I just realized I went on a long spergrant: both are very bad ideas. The only good things they’ve brought to the table are the possibility of Zeraora’s design being slightly improved (lol lmao) and an extremely easy way to filter out obviously fake Z-A leaks.
 
Decided to read reburst first chapter and I did not expect this. Looks like we are going full shonen jump

I don't like how newer cards in the TCG make 'mons lack resistances they used to have.

Like Gastly being like a vidya pure Dark type with weakness to Fighting and no resitances, or Sandshrew lacking Lightning resistance.

The TCG really was better before Gen 4. 4 was when they changed vidya Poison type to Psychic in that TCG, and made overpowered 'mons.

I wish there was a decent Cobblemon server, I've tried a few but they're all either got tweaks/plugins I don't like or they're pay to win. Half of the ones I joined had a pronoun plugin for the scoreboard.

I've just been playing solo. I've spent an inordinate amount of time fishing up the magikarp jump variants, because they're neat.
And the minecraft-ification of some of these lil dudes, too, is wonderful.

What is so great about Zygarde? Its just a random hexagon themed snake. I could understand stuff like genesect being one of a kind robot constructs, but Zygarde doesnt really fit into the duality of life/death they were going for with X and Y. It turns into a fucking gundam. Unless its the pokemon deity of isekai, its just doesn't fit into a trio as well as Giratina did and was just as random as Genesect or that genie who also had zero bearing on the actual franchise.

Arceus was at least their version of God or some form of origin story. Zygarde just exists and hisses menacingly.

It, and the other XY legendaries, have ties to Norse mythology. tBbRXGj.jpeg
And Zygarde's other forms are Loki's children.

It's depressing how Scarlet and Violet screwed up the concept of having regions and legendary Pokemon tied to myths and the like. Paldea is a shit hole that's the Brazil of the Pokemon world with nothing meshing together. We finally get Pokemon based on the Celestial Beasts and Momotaro myth, yet they screwed this up somehow (the Momo legendaries weren't as offensive as the Celestial Beasts). The vanilla legendaries looked like shit and the "lore" if it existed was hit and miss. None of the legendaries even fit in Pokemon's version of Brazil.

Paldea is Pokemon Spain, but the region is so generic and mutted up that I can't blame you for thinking it's Brazil. Then again, just like in Football, it might as well be a Brazil since oh boy, it is much worse than Sword/Shield, truly a difference between a 1-5 and a 1-7.
 
hi hello again

so after god knows how many outbreaks, i managed to get a shiny dunsparce. there is no goddamn reason it was as hard to find as it was, and it's an absolute piece of shit, but will evolve it anyway to see if it maybe is the lucky three-segmented dundunsparce :optimistic:

also caught shiny sandygast and i am very happy about it because i like the stupid sandcastle pokemon

Do you know how many encounters it took?

God, I always hated how Dunsparce was absolutely useless. I love it's design, I love that it's rare and it makes you go looking for it, and yet it amounts to nothing in an actual battle. I've seen the GC romhacks I played a while ago trying to make it viable, but I didn't have time to play around with it, I am glad that SV gave him a new evolution but I wish they gave my boy buffs way earlier, in older games.
