    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    In that case I guess I’d just say that the Rattata were almost wiped out, and a small population was able to carve out a niche as a nocturnal rodent. Maybe they aren’t able to grow as large due to nocturnal predators?There’s still the humor in that in trying to control the Rattata population...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I see your point and agree that lore matters to an extent when it comes to gameplay, but I think that it’s bad when lore hurts the overall experience. If the lore makes the gameplay worse, then the developers need to write better lore. I’d compare it to writing an annoying tv show character...

    Let's Play! Let's Catch 'em All in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon! (Part 31 up: Wish Cave (2) & End))

    I would suggest a combination of options 3 and 4. Once you get onto the preferred floor, make a save state. Go through the floor until you either recruit a Chansey or are forced to exit. If you don't recruit a Chansey after the initial trek through the floor, reload the first save state, and you...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    It doesn't matter how much the developers try to accommodate new players. Somebody is going to get lost. Kids mash the a button through the tutorials that we have now. They won't use the Teachy TV if it ever comes back. No matter how much you try to make something foolproof, somebody will...

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    I would normally take the "108 Spirits" as mere folklore, but the fact that Spiritomb refers to itself as 108 spirits in PMD makes me hesitant. That could just be a spinoff thing though. This is the same game that has Primal Dialga. I would assume that all of the spirits have the same gender in...

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    It's been a while since I've read the Manga, but weren't there instances of a Pokémon letting itself out? (I know this happened in the anime with Psyduck at least.) I also remember something that made really uncomfortable as a kid (mild spoilers by the way). When Yellow was battling Lance, it...

    Yellow also has a guy that will trade you a Machoke. That alone gives a pretty good hint that other Pokémon may evolve the same way.

    Let's Play! Let's Catch 'em All in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon! (Part 31 up: Wish Cave (2) & End))

    I'd be a hypocrite if I said that you couldn't use wondermail considering that I've used it for a King's Rock and to get the Friend Bow and Surf HM again when I accidentally sold them. I think I'm going to wait to complete Wish Cave to use anymore Wondermail personally since I'd be mad at myself...

    For the Bellsprout line, name the Victreebel LeoBurnett because... As for the Ralts line, name the Kirlia Ninian after a dancer in Fire Emblem and Gardevoir Katrina after the fortune teller in Animal Crossing.

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    I always assumed that genderless (for legendaries) just meant that the gender is unknown because scientists haven't studied them. I mean... it should be obvious that a species is made up of male and female Pokémon, but cases like Tauros and Jynx exist. Heatran was owned by the king in The Jewel...

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    This makes me think of something. People have asked what humans eat instead of Pokémon since the beginning of Pokémon. It was originally hand waved by the anime and games showing and referencing animals on occasion. However, as time has gone on, Pokémon have popped up to replace the roles that...

    I apologize if there's any wrong information here. It's been a long time since I've played Guardian Signs. Maybe it's just me, but I loved playing it the first time through. Unfortunately, when I tried to play it a second time, it just seemed extremely bland and boring. The charging styler...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    People have complained about Leafeon and Glaceon's evolution methods in the past, and they've (the methods) always been unreasonable Glaceon was almost unusable. In Platinum, neither could be used in HGSS, and BW2 regulated them to post game. (I don't remember what XY did with them, but I do...

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    While we're on the subject of migration and invasive species, Magikarp is catchable in EVERY single fishing area prior to BW because it is considered one of the most adaptive Pokémon of all time. The only way to get them in Gen 5 is to buy one. How is it that certain Pokémon invaded Uunova with...

    What I really can't stand is that they've teased us for the last three generations by making the base form a quadruped only to have it become bipedal. Delphox makes some sense, but Emboar and Incineroar gain nothing from being bipedal.

    Shiny Pokemon Experiences

    Incoming wall of text. My first shiny was in Emerald when I was nine. I was just running around in the desert looking for fossils or something (it was a used copy, so I had no idea what I was doing), and a blue-green Trapinch popped up out of the sand. I didn't know what a shiny was, but I knew...

    Gen VII: Pokemon Sun and Moon Discussion MKII

    Even though I don't think it'll happen, watch as Dazzling prevents Z-Moves if they have increased priority. EDIT: That brings up a question. Do Z-Moves have priority like Mega Evolution? I assume they do, but I feel like even GameFreak would realize how terrifyingly broken that could make them.

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    In the Pokémon universe (or at least PMD) time is controlled by time gears. Gears= Metal I don't get why it's weird that Dialga is part steel type. It's just a part of its design. Time isn't associated with dragons either. Dialga is just a metal dragon that happens to be able to control time...

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    I would classify a Samurai as a hero. The Fighting type is also about honor which is a virtue/quality upheld by the Samurai.

    Liepard seems more like a case brainwashing (the terrifying kind that's specific name I don't know not hypnotism or anything like that) since it snarls at Hugh and very slowly accepts its old owners back again. It was stolen as a Purrloin too, so it was probably forced to obey while it was young...
