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

Is it true the latest Pokemon games fucked with the design of Nurse Joey to be less feminine? Is nothing sacred?

 

[AnotherPleb]

They could just make No Guard not work with OHKO moves.

Why would they do that when they could put a pokemon with No Guard+Trick Room with a Fairy Type OHKO as the legendary in the DLC for gen 10?

Yeah, it's certainly more androgynous in S/V. But that's mainly because they've got rid of the classic nurse outfit

 

[I'm Really Feeling It]

I just had a run of Pokémon Y after ~10 years of not playing any Generation VI content, only to then start a new X save. I know people in this thread see it as the point where the rot really set in, but man do I continue to love the games. Through and through a chill experience, just what I needed after busy days at work. If Team Flare and Gym fights were a little less easy, and if E4 had 5 Pokémon in their teams at least, IMO this would fix the difficulty issue.

I heard about Pokemon swallowing the pozpill but even a lady in a nurse uniform is now a step too far.

How can you be so bad at the game that the NPCs completely change their appearance for the worse just to spite you?

 

[I_Lurk_Here]

I like Oddish.

Look at it, it's so adorable.

What a cute 'mon!

What a cute 'mon!

I keep seeing Oddish succulent pots being sold by a local vendor at various farmer's markets and vendor events and I'm always tempted to buy one.

I'll snap a photo next time I see it and the thread can decide if I buy it for my office or not.

The Pokémon North American International Championship (NAIC for short) is happening right now, here are some free codes.

SV:
NA1CTR1CKR00M - A Porygon2 based off of the one used by Nils Dunlop at EUIC earlier this year. This code expires on June 10th.

TCG Live:
TealDanceNAIC24 - 1 digital copy of an Secret Illustrator Rare Teal Mask Ogerpon ex. This code expires on June 17th.

Unrelated to NAIC, SV also has two events co-running this weekend. We're getting a rerun of the 7-Star Tera Raids (featuring a Poison Tera Type Swampert) that happened last week, a rerun of the Tera Raid Blisseys, and a Mass Outbreak event featuring Water Pokémon (Finizen for Paldea, Lotad for Kitakami, and Horsea for the Terarium) with a 5% chance of having the Kindly Mark.

Also unrelated to NAIC, The Pokémon TCG Live is running its 1st Anniversary Summer Bash event and, as expected, it's kind of shitty.

EDIT: Forgot to add the expiration dates for the codes.

stuff lacking in newer games:

• Snorlax lying down almost all the time (like in Stadium)
• Honchkrow fedora tipping

Shower thought:

Do people spay/neuter their Pokémon if they're raised as pets?

Maybe the existence of the No Eggs Discovered egg group means that spaying/neutering is a thing? Or does that egg group exist solely as a game mechanic to prevent people from breeding Legendaries and Mythicals, and has nothing to do with biology?

Back to the games itself, did ILCA/TPC give a reason why GTS trades on HOME do not trigger trade evolutions, like how they did back when the GTS was in the actual games?

It's more along the lines of "shit only happens in a very specific place and time period" than anything else. It's almost funny how an lot shit is ignored just because it's for kids.

Since Eggs are made in very specific circumstances, I doub tha they even have the anatomy in the first place. After all, Arceus made an Egg by rewriting reality.

Because fuck you that's why.

Weird thought but I imagined an Alex Jones type character ranting about the Day Care staff not knowing where the eggs come from being part of a grand conspiracy.

 

[Catgirl Tyranid]

The daycare staff are just lying to avoid discussing the Pidgey's and the Beedrill's with someone else's kid.

Here’s the Top 8 Masters division TCG players (and the decks they’re running) at NAIC right now.

I’m gonna be painfully honest with you guys, I really hate it when 3/4th of Day 2 consists of the same fucking deck. Thankfully Andrew Hendrick pulled out a win even though I hate Lost Box just as much as I hate Gardevoir ex.

In addition to the above, the promo and special Pikachu plush dropping at Worlds 2024 have been revealed. The promo card is another Paradise Resort (which is understandable, Tropical Beach was a cancer on the game and Champion’s Festival had some use in early Gardevoir ex decks) and the Pikachu plush is in snorkeling gear.

The Pikachu plush will be available to competitors when they register on-site and spectators can buy it at the pop-up Pokémon Center at the event. The promo will also be available to competitors when they register on-site (with additional stamped ones for event staff, Top Thirty-Two, Top Sixteen, Quarter Finalists, Semi-Finalists, Finalists, and Champions) and spectators can get it via side events.

Unlike what that touchy water Elite 4 guy in X & Y thinks, pocketmons battling isn't an art like the culinary arts.

(it about best solutions and best stats)

Also how do you get to that "World Champion" battle in ORAS with the remix of the Gen 1 champion theme? Can't find anything on Google because the algorithm "thinks" I "really meant" world championships IRL. Or ribbons ingame. Or champions of other games. Or B&W2 PWT.
