I came around on the Charcadet evo shinies, because it just feels cool? Like, that's all you can see if the haunted armor it's inhabiting.

Most of those people are niggers and don’t play. Towards the later part of last year with the release of surging sparks and post election results the space, which was already suffering from collector fags drew in a bunch of NFT fags and opportunists looking to make a quick buck.
It’s great if you do actually play because most of the staples are cheap now as the only cards collector fags want are the illustration rares. This makes a ripple where literally every other card bar a few are very inexpensive because they get opened up en masse as people try to rip packs chasing the IR/SIRs. I’ve managed to score a few playsets of cards like budew and the popular item cards that aren’t rotating out for my wife and I.
As much as I’d like to breathe in the hopium from the changes being made, it also has to be stated that every man has his price and a lot of the people who work for distribution are still people and a lot won’t turn their nose up to the right bribe. Where I’m at there’s still people camping out and doing buyout runs that are willing to slip the MJ holdings guy a couple of bills to look the other way.

That's something I should do but two things irks me at this point in time, the rotation that's happening in April and the registration fees for some tournaments.
The rotation thing isn't too bad but's gonna sting, we're basically losing everything from Brilliant Stars up to Crown Zenith. Meanwhile, registration fees are are fine for some tournaments but others feel absurdly high considering Pokémon's usual demographic (especially the reg fees for higher tournaments like Regionals and ICs).
That said there's always getting your feet wet at a prerelease.
>MJ Holdings
I really don't like them as far as distributors go, if you've ever seen TCG products in stock on WalMart's website for exorbitant prices and noticed that it's from a seller known as GT Collectables and Toys then you've seen MJ Holdings' shady tactics at work.

Yeah, the fees vs prize support is and always will be something that weighs whether or not I’ll actually play at a store. It’s also going to suck that all of the radiant and V ’mons will be cycling out and decks like miraidon are just going to be SOL. If you’re wanting to pick up the game then your best bet is to just do so after the rotation because you’ll get to play with your G mark cards for another year before the next one.
They slapped the $55 ETB barcode stickers on the $20 Black Friday bundles and constantly peddle garbage mystery boxes. Like does anyone really think they’re going to pay $50 and somehow get a pack of fossil or legendary collection? lmao no, you’re getting 3 Pokemon Go packs and 2 other weighed packs.
Walmart only keeps them around because they work for the bottom penny while making sure they also have plenty of sports cards and magazines on the shelves. Their allocations on everything is also horrid.

thoughts on the anime's next arc?
I don't care too much since i've never bothered with the anime, I'm just surprised they're really going through with that timeskip thing. I honestly thought that they'd scrap the whole plotline after the teraleak exposed it, but I guess they didn't have the time? Or they didn't care lol, that's also an option.
Already sick of the Lucario shilling, every single mention of megas has been related to either it or Charizard X, to the point where I nearly forgot that they were actually bringing back other megas in Z-A. Granted, I really don't think that they're bringing back all of them given the very strange insistence on only repeating megas shown in the Z-A trailer, even in side media like this, as well as Gamefreak's general retardation, but couldn't they give Altaria or Ampharos more spotlight for once? At least Sableye is getting some Beyblade kid to shine a spotlight on it, I guess.
Maybe it wouldn't be so annoying if Roy's wasn't shiny. They really took a look at one of the worst shinies in the series and thought "yes. This will do splendidly for our new protagonist's ace in the hole."

Wasn't the entire anime plot already leaked, including upcoming seasons?

Was Sylveon not good enough for these psychos? Or are they just going to declare Pokemon as a whole has always been gay?

Like I said earlier, I stopped keeping up with the animus when Ash and the gang were stuck in the Orange Islands and Brock was replaced with Tracy. Maybe I was disappointed that Ash made it to the big leagues -- literally -- only to lose and then he ends up in the Orange Islands with that wandering around GS Ball plot that did not go anywhere.
So I'm very out of the loop with all of the show after, like Ash traveling with May (where did Misty go?) and her brother (?), Dawn showing up (where did May go?), and then Serena retroactively appearing out of nowhere (and where'd Dawn go?), and of course why Ash keeps parting ways with all his 'mons aside from Pikachu over and over and over.
So to me, the original anime with the original cast is still the pocketmons anime.

to be fair to her, she's been getting a lot of really vapid responses from the usual commentary types
nowhere near harassment, but I can see how a relatively small youtuber with absolutely 0 spine would be rather shocked by this kind of stuff and handle it poorly

I am still catching up to the thread after the Teraleaks, bu there was a recent breakthrough in hacking.
You know that 8 bits, the native Game Boy word length, can count up to 256. This naturally applies to the number of Pokémon. However, 3 of those slots are reserved towards special cases: 0 represents Missingno, 253 represents th Egg, and 255 represents the Cancel function, which means that hackers up to recently only could handle 253 mon.
By supporting 9-bit indices, the count increased to a potential 512 mon, and 509 in practise. Polished Crystal already used that extra space in cluding not only a lot of newer Pokémon, some being from the sam evolutionary line from the ones in the canon Crystal Pokédex, but also many regional and cosmetic variations while still having over 100 slots left over. They are also planning on adding 10-bit indices to moves, which would lead to 1.024 moves, excluding 2 special cases: 0 represents no move, while 255 represent Struggle.
This also means that certain hacks that had been awaiting this developments, notably Ancient Ruby/Sapphire and Pokémon BW3: Genesis, will resume development. (When you look a the mess that was the Pokémon BW3: Genesis code was, the far more highly optimised Polished Crystal code would automatically be a YUUGE improvement.)
This would also mean that my currently hiatused SV demake hack would be able to represen the teams of every importan trainer properly. While I would have to remove all of the Pokémon in the ol Dex and restore only the Pokémon lines that appear in those importan teams, I would actually have plenty of room left over. The problem is that my demakes are based on pokegold, since I want Super Game Boy support, which would also lead to MSU-1 support; pokecrystal is Only for Game Boy Color™ and therefore will not work with Super Game Boy. I have been trying to pu that support in pokegold, but I have been having problems getting things to work, since pokegold RAM has a different structure from pokecrystal RAM even withou the new stuff that pokecrystal added.
In the worst case scenario, I would just move to Polished Crystal, since the benefits of the 9-bit structure and highly optimised, updated code overrides the benefits of Super Game Boy and MSU-1 support.

because this series was one of the very few, especially in anime, that avoided that kind of truly retarded character design and now it is no longer anything special
reminder that the main cast of the series looked like this for the vast majority of the series' run:
even as recently as Journeys, the overwhelming majority of character designs stayed relatively sane with the exception of some strange colors or rather outlandish (but still very grounded) hairstyles:
and now that relatively unique, grounded style is completely gone in favor of whatever the fuck Horizons is doing
even the most normal people in this series have dyed hair, partner-appropriate clothing (notice how Orla, easily the most "normal" design of the entire cast to the point where she sticks out, still has metagross-colored boots), and one or two relatively useless accessories
additionally, some of the most normal-looking people are the fucking protagonists, which is not only a bad idea for memorability in general but also makes the addition of designs like Dot and Ult (green-haired kid) to the cast feel even more ill-fitting. You have Roy and Liko somewhat trying (and failing) to capture the "normal kid" aesthetic of Ash's series right next to Dot and Ult going full balls-to-the-wall stupid with two-toned purple hair, invisible eyes, huge green bangs and a braid...
Dot made a bit of sense since she's a shy emo streamer girl, even if she really does stand out in a bad way, but Ult is... god knows? Apparently Roy knew him from childhood, so presumably he's just some random kid from Kanto... the MOST GROUNDED REGION by far, with gym leader designs that look like this:
in generations 3 and 4, after they were redesigned to be slightly more distinct than "guy in shirt," "girl in shirt," "guy in tank top," and "scientist."
So having some freaky green-haired kid with stupid hair come from a region in which even the powerful eccentrics look relatively normal clashes heavily with the series' history, the anime's history, and creates a lot of dissonance between the Kanto most people know and the Kanto this guy is supposedly from
(even assuming he's from Hoenn due to the Sableye, that is still a lofty fuckin' assumption. Hoenn's designs are way closer to Gen 1 than Gen 9, with even ORAS' stuff being relatively toned-down save for the flamboyant homosexual at the end of the gym leader line-up, so his design still doesn't make sense)
meanwhile every other shounen anime on the block didn't really care about this kind of stuff and just shat out "cool-looking" character designs, leading to protagonists looking like this:
and excess becoming the norm, even (arguably, especially) for teenaged characters
even as recently as Journeys, the overwhelming majority of character designs stayed relatively sane with the exception of some strange colors or rather outlandish (but still very grounded) hairstyles:
The main exceptions often came from game-derived designs, like how Alola's cast was almost entirely comprised of the relatively outlandish Trial Captains (which btw were also heavily lambasted when that series premiered) and Iris + Cilan were in-game designs, where they looked a lot less out of place, lifted for use in Best Wishes.
You can see even in the first picture how the two anime-exclusive characters stick out, they're a lot more grounded than, for instance, Kiawe (black guy with fire hair) or Mallow (teenager with a flower crown and very long green twintails). You could reasonably assume Ash or Go to be normal kids with eccentric barbers, whereas a lot of the Alola cast are walking stereotypes of anime excess

in short: (I think) it makes Pokémon look incredibly generic within its genre, when it previously stood out for refusing to abide by the genre's character design norms
