What tier is it gonna be in?
official metagames don't have tiers
>>32564010
UU like last gen likely
>>32564020
they have usage statistics though which you can use to gauge how useful something is relative to other mons
Phox fridays are killed
>>32563905
Good.
why's that?

What happened
Pokemon is the only gaming/television/card/manga franchise to receive its own board on 4chan.
Putting our differences like starterwars and injectors and gen-X-ers aside, is Pokemon the greatest (or biggest and most engrossing) video game of all time?
>what is /mlp/
/vp/, just like /mlp/ was made to keep the autism out of other boards we are a containment board
I wanna say yes? It's definetly still massive and with a lot merchandising for how old it is. Also definetly the money maker for Nintendo at this point, the old "3DS is a pokemon machine" is not without it's truths.
Definetly still popular on Japan at least because looking for fanart at least it's the 3rd biggest gaming name still being made.
>>32563718
However autistic we are, you know deep down that /mlp/ is 10x worse. To an extent, there is strategic discussion on /vp/, and the games are entertaining in their own right.
/mlp/ is nothing but dedicated degenerates jacking off to a cartoon meant for an even younger demographic than Pokemon. They have zero redeeming qualities.
If gyms return in a future game, do you think Z-Crystals will replace badges?
Z-Crystals provide a more tangible reward, and it would save GF the trouble of having to come up with designs and names for new badges.
wouldn't really make sense considering they're not region specific, and the badges are proof of beating the gyms of that region.
perhaps they could vary up the z-crystal design from game to game? or perhaps embellish the badges with them?
>>32563618
The z crystals and z moves are kinda alola's thing only, I mean if the next games somehow had more tapus or the tapus suddenly decide to go to other regions to give them then who knows
It would be pretty easy to handwave by claiming that Colress or someone was able to produce synthetic Z-crystals by researching them.
Can we have a trial captain thread.
no
fuck the trial captains.
>>32563590
Why?
>>32563590
Would if I could, pal.
Is Blastoise the anime's ultimate jobber?
>Gary's Blastoise loses to Ash's Charizard
>Blue's Blastoise loses to Red's Charizard in Origins
>Sailor's Blastoise loses to Gladion's Lycanroc
This is a running theme with Blastoise, the only Blastoise I can recall that didn't job is Siebold's Mega Blastoise beating Alain's Megazard X
>>32563204
And also Tierno's Blastoise losing to Sawyer
If you count the movies, one beats Pikachu and Torkoal in the Deoxys one.
>>32563204
well if you look like shit then you should act like it too
What am I in for ?
Haven't played Pokemon since emerald as a kid.
Something new

Sweet OST though.
>>32563021
Laggy as fuck matches.
Reminder that this is objectively the best Pokemon movie.
No.
>>32562920
palkia dialga giratina arceus saga is the best, plus probably upcoming shit,
volcanion movie is good [wasted potential]
first 5th movies were mediocre, even lucario one is better
I like Power of One and Destiny Deoxys more
I miss him so much...
>>32562830
how can you miss something that doesn't exist?
Never cared much for Roothoot. The same cannot be said for the man, the myth, the legend Ballio
Hmm, not really to me, but then again, it's just a fakemon that happened to come at a certain time, before the Ballio crew came (I really liked some of the fan art despite controversy). Maybe some day, some dude will feel like making a romhack with them. It'd be interesting to say the least.
Post best girls
>>32562529
Sauce?
She might be 87.5% male, but the rest of her is the best girl.
>>32562529
Pretty sure that might actually be a boy considering the other art from that artist
Starly is objectively the best regional bird
>>32562420
lolno
I have a Pidove that vehemently disagrees.
Correct.
>2016
>STILL no racoon Pokemon
>But there's three (3) dream-eating tapirs
What is gamefreak doing?
>>32562377
...three?
You made this thread before and you know full well that there is one.
go away
>>32562380
Drowzee and Munna & evo
>>32562390
That's a Tiny Racoon, that evolves into a weasel...
Whats the point of bringing Anabel from another world for SM?
>we cant visit her world
>we cant help her get back
>her story and her being here doesnt influence our story or have any meaning whatsoever
>her being here doesnt change anything for the UB plot
>the entire UB post game story would be pretty much the same if done by just Looker, Nanu and maybe some random Alolans
>also her being in this world means there are two Anabel's, the other one in ORAS' frontier (which is most likely completed by now)
Why even bother doing something like that if we cant do anything with it, about it and it doesnt mean anything for the story at all? Its just like a "trivia" moment. The whole "faller" thingy could be explained with our MC because they say we're faller aswell so what was the point of Anabel from another world? Besides it seems like they've completely ignored Looker's accident and amnesia from ORAS but instead told us something exactly the same happened to Anabel. What the fuck?
To throw us who want a Battle Frontier a bone.
>>32561928
>>32561939
They could've used the Anabel native to the Mega Universe instead of wasting the whole "multiverse theory" on something so redundant. The fact that this is Emerald Anabel doesn't change literally anything, so why not use ORAS Anabel instead?
>>32561951
What if there is no ORAS Anabel?
Hey showderp! Have you purchased Fallout 4 and Skyrim yet? They're easily the best games of this generation. You have no excuse.
Oh,also you give 6 digimons to some guy named champ,but why do that,when you could be playing my masterpieces?
