I thoroughly believe sinnoh had the best starters since kanto. Let's post them.

Normal and Dark types lose fighting as a weakness.
How does this change the meta?
What replaces it as a weakness?
>>32365425
This will make Fighting mons a bit more worthless at the current metagame.Weak to my dick
>>32365425
This buff is baseless and uncalled for. Fighting already got nerfed two gens in a row
>>32365461
O who cares fighting is the worst typing.
Let's buff fighting types by removing a weakness to psychic and flying then. Happy?
Latest GF interview, anyone able (and care) to translate?
http://www.pokemothim.net/2017/04/junichi-masuda-e-shigeru-ohmori.html
phone posting right now
keep this thread up for a couple hours and I'll translate it
>>32365513
No problem, i will
>>32365380
I can read monkey, most of the question/answers are kinda meh besides the part where Masuda says that it's hard to say anything about the Switch because he heard that it's a home console that you can take anywhere (instead of a pure portable), so he just will watch it for now before thinking what GF can do with the Switch.
I think it means that Gen 7 will entirely be in 3DS for now, no "Red/Blue remake for Switch" like some people were speculating.
Do they have any reason to exist? Does anyone even like them? Their designs are shit and Fearow sucks compared to Pidgeot. Would the series be different in any way if they were never made?
>>32365296
Ash would've been attacked by a flock of Pidgey, that's it.
Fuck Spearow and Fearow, ugly Pokemon. Ugly shinies too.
Why were they created? Did GF think "hey, we need another trash bird for the start of the game"?
Pokemon, at its core, is an RPG.
If you start out fighting dragons and mewtwos, you do not get that sense of progression.
Thus, this pokemon, the weedle line and rattata line exist among others.
Not every pokemon needs to be good just like every enemy in an rpg doesn't need to be good.
That is one nice nuance that RBY had, it was a game and not an entity where they had to focus on making every character sell.
Its interesting when you think of pokemon like that, I.E. Onix is just the first boss.
Confused, by the looks of things.
A piss-slut!
the cutest!
what did the anime mean by this?
>>32365273
E. Honda from Street Fighter
>>32365273
Prepare for trouble
Oy vey and make it half!
>>32365523
kek
So who are Ash's NEW friends in the upcoming Pokemon movie? I heard Misty and Brock were replaced
How hard it is to google shit, anon?
>>32365114
Maybe they are the other two Pallet Town trainers we never saw.
>>32366072
with a Piplup and a Lucario?
Also, OP, the movie is in gameverse and will be used to justify Ash's poster and Greninja being in Sun Moon.
Hence, it's Game-Ash and the two supporting characters will appear in the next two sets of games, being the new professor in the Sinnoh remakes (the boy wants to be a professor, and Rowan will have passed away) and the new champion (the girl has a passion for fighting but has a secret). The edgy teen with an Incineroar will be the new Champion in Sun Moon Z (Kalos+Alola sequence)

>Summary:
>Satoshi and the others have gone to a music concert. They're there to see a performance by the unit "Dugleo", which consists of an Alola Dugtrio and its Trainer DJ Leo. After the concert, Satoshi and the others ended up getting to know DJ Leo, and then proceeded to meet a Digda that admires the Alola Dugtrio.

>Soon, an open school will be held at the Pokémon School, where both guardians and locals are invited. Satoshi decided he'd hold a presentation about Pokémon there, but he didn't think about how important a task that is, and is now worrying over how he'll do. His mom, on the other hand, has learned about this presentation and is now coming all the way from the Kanto region to the Alola region to see her son's big moment.
SM25 - The Fight Over the Crystal! The Rocket Gang VS The Skull Gang!!! (May 5th)
>As always, the Rocket Gang are after Pikachu, and this time they decide to sneak a look at a class at the Pokémon School.

But then the Skull Gang, a group that commits crimes in the Alola region, show up.

MOVIE 20 TIE-IN MANGA:

New movie summary:
>Satoshi and Pikachu are currently the best of partners.
>But the truth is, their initial meeting went as badly as it could possibly have!
>That meeting took place on Satoshi's 10th birthday. In order to set off on his journey as a Pokémon Trainer, he had come to the Okido Laboratories. He was meant to receive either a Hitokage, a Zenigame or a Fushigidane, Pokémon intended for beginners, but... he overslept, and all that was left for him was a Pikachu that Professor Okido described as "there being a slight problem with".
>In addition to not wanting to enter a monster ball, the Pikachu wouldn't listen to what Satoshi said. The two eventually bonded during a battle against Onisuzume, at which point the legendary Pokémon Houou appeared in the sky, making its seven-colored wings shine.
>"Let's go meet it together one day!"... On the day he set off on his journey, Satoshi made this promise to Pikachu.
>The two of them then continued their adventure, encountering friends and Pokémon, all while growing and maturing together.
>And then one day, as Satoshi gazed up at a rainbow after a rainstorm, his chest suddenly started shining brightly.
>The Houou feather he had picked up on the day he started his journey had started giving off a strong light.
>"Is this Houou showing me the way?"
>Placing their full trust in the Feather's glow, Satoshi and Pikachu head for the mountain rising up at the foot of the rainbow. But Cross, a Trainer with his sight set on the Houou feather, blocks their way. And inside Satoshi's shadow, a mysterious Pokémon...
>Will Satoshi and Pikachu manage to meet Houou and thus fulfill the promise made on they day they started their journey?
If GameFreak had actually given a shit about Ribbons, and awarded the player and their Pokémon a Ribbon for every challenge/fun feature they overcame, how many Ribbons would we have now?
Stuff like Trainer Hill, PokéAthlon, Black Tower, White Treehollow, Inverse Battles and the Battle Frontier Facilities (minus the Factory).
Would you rather have these instead of bullshit like the "seven days of the week" Ribbons, the "give us your money!!" Ribbons and the hundreds of event-exclusive Ribbons?
Do you have any ideas of your own for new (or old) Ribbons?
>>32364759
Unova Champ Ribbon
>>32364759
I hate that they didn't add any new obtainable Ribbons in Gen 5. It annoys me so much that I don't have a "Unova League Champion" Ribbon to go with those from Hoenn, Sinnoh, Kalos, Alola and the Gen 3 one.
>>32364787
fpbp
Which removed feature from a past game had the most welcome return in a future game?
>>32364611
Battle Frontierthanks doc
>>32364611
I tried to think of something but I honestly can't recall any feature that was removed and then brought back. The only thing I can think of is the day/night cycle

I mean, you're going to say they look stupid anyway but I like them. Would list Xurk but it looks stupid in a good way, like a silly wiggly wireman.

Has a nice design.
