Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States




Not what I was expecting from the coin Pokémon, but the design is growing on me. I like that it has dowsing rods for antenna. That's a neat touch. Also like that its tail is based on a money clip.

At least according to the leaks it has a strong evolution, so at least it has that going for it.
 
So apparently the Charizard Ultra-Premium Collection that everyone was shitting their pants over is insanely easy to get at MSRP, so much so that people who preordered UPC bundles from smaller stores were refunding their preorders and that caused a minor shitfit in the online Pokémon TCG community. The only downside is that the quality control for the promo cards is atrocious, I’m seeing a lot of miscut and poorly–centered cards in their boxes.

If there‘s one thing in the Pokémon TCG I’m happy to be wrong about is when products are piss-easy to buy.

I hope it‘s as strong as Aegislash is currently, Ghost/Steel is an amazing type combo but Gen 6 Aegislash was nuts.

The mystery Pokemon is named Gimmighoul and has a second form where it sits in a chest and splashes coins around like Scrooge.

As I've said before, I can appreciate any design where I get what it's going for, so your comments on the Antenna and Tail make me like this thing a little more.

I guess this is Pokemon's traditional fantasy Mimic, huh? As well as Gen 9's Meltan. I like that this is easier to get for straight game players. Considering it supposedly has an evolution, I wonder what that will look like.

I also note that in it's trailer, the pokemon it's shown fighting are other treasure-hunters - Sableye and Meowth.

I may actually add this to my team... depending on whether this or Greavard's supposed evolution looks better.

For what it's worth, according to the leaks Gimmighoul's evolution is supposed to be:
This Pokemon is op, with a powerful new ability and a crazy high power signature move without any negative effect
The move: 5pp 140/150 base power attack move

Only downside is you have to collect 999 coins in order to evolve it, but it's said to be worth the effort (also it's evo should be Ghost/Steel type).

Apologies for the double post, but someone was able to get a copy of the game early, and posted some leaks online.

Apparantly at some point in the early gme you come across the game's legendary washed up on the shore:

A new female character, which should be really popular with R34 artists, as all of the women in these games are:

And another guy, that has striking resemblance to Shigeru Ohmori, the director of S/V, and also directed ORAS, SuMo, and SwSh:

Hate the fact this is called "Purpura" (purple) in spain instead of "Violeta" (violet). I am sure there is some explanation that might go AKSHUALLY PURPURA IS THE SHADE THAT THE JAPANESE WERE GOING FOR AND IT IS AMERICA/THE REST OF THE WORLD WHO ARE WRONG. Whatever is the case "escarlata/violeta" sounds better.
Glad I learned english since the spanish localizations of pokemon are super obnoxious at times of you don't live in spain.

I know right? Some of these names are pushing it, but it was dropped around the same time the first leaks came out. There is a Pokémon event tomorrow morning & we'll see if anything that appears in that matches this list.
One thing is Wopper's new evolution is named Toxalotl. That is also the name of a TemTem, but I can see Pokémon not giving a shit.

Notice that thin blue line in the upper right hand corner? Hmm how interesting, that's where France's border with Spain is.

We're getting our first Fire/Grass which is really cool. Hopefully, it's actually good, and looks good, too.

According to leaks it's going to be a pepper kappa (its evo is 2-headed)

I agree. They might justify this by saying 'Oh; they ar equivalent in Spanish! Literal translations are garbage!', but I think that is going Woolseyism too far.

Either way, nsw2u and nxbrew have ye to upload the file, though reuploading these leaks would take under a day, if Sonic Frontiers is of any indication.

According to this guy, apparently they nuked their own account because they were scared of their massive growth. Yeah no shit you'll get talked about for a few days, who could have imagined this happening?
