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

weight of 1 magnemite: 13.2 lbs. / 6 kg

weight of 3 magnemites: 39.6 lbs. / 18 kg

weight of magneton: 132.3 lbs. / 60 kg

:thinking:
I believe that their weight is innacurate by themselves being electrical and magnetic.

Magneton's probably can't mess with weight scales as their prevolution

I find it hilarious how all of those vocal retards never used the search feature in the GEN IV Pokedex. That isn't actually arceus any more than that spark is actually rotom, it was the a placeholder for the general shape of Arceus and all 4 legged, Horse/goat necked shaped pokemon. You can see a similar shiloutette sprite among the many different body shape search options in the Sinnoh pokedex.

That leak really reminds me of the fake "Nintendo DS game anti-piracy screen" trend that also began to surface around the same time.
What are you talking about?

The body shape Arceus falls under, and the only one that remotely matches, is 'quadraped', nothing about neck, and that doesn't have a distinct neck at any point in the silhouettes.

People don't think it's a proto-arceus because it's vaguely shaped right. They think it's proto-arceus because it's associated with Arceus' Dex number specifically.

It was probably created specifically based on what they had for Arceus at the time (a quadraped with flowing head adornments) by a spriter as a placeholder for the final design.

And by this point in the design, they're clearly more closely related to the final form than just a silhouette. Protom is a spark with hands, which would later become vaguely arm-like appendages when the design was finalised. The whole reason these slapdash placeholder images seem to exist is to make it so the programmers and testers can tell what the fuck kind of pokemon they're looking at while they're waiting for the final design.

Why bother creating a small set of prototypes to tell some pokemon apart as placeholders? If it's important to tell them apart, how can , 1: How does that help the programming team if pokemon from several trees look the same, 2: is that a significant improvement over a one-size fits all placeholder?

As for the cry discussion, it prompted me to go through the whole set again while I did other things. I realised by so doing that Gen 3-4 were prime time for good cries.

 
I sometimes wonder if someone ever let loose a slur with Chatter back when you could edit it in Gen IV.

Cry tax(es) btw:

Tyrantrum and Aurorus were the best fossils back in the day. No one beats the Vish though!
The sound quality was really poor but Gen IV was all about spelling out no-no words with pokeball decals and making teams of chatot shout racial epithets at max volume every time they used its unique move
 
I like the Croagunk line's cries. They chuckle like bastards, it's endearing. Also like Chimchar's cry, even if it's just aaAAa. It just fits perfectly with the kind of noise I think it would make :)

Hydreigon's cry would be so much cooler if they just used the last part of it. The first two parts make it sound like its coughing. Also, it's one of the few Pokemon that actually benefited from Gen 6's cry changes.
