Didnt they tease this years ago? The anime stopped being any good around diamond and pearl. They spent way too much time around the starting areas versus making new areas up and going forward and away from pallet town in the previous seasons. The orange league and Johto's exploration made things way more interesting than anything that happened in the actual games. Its another reason why I disdain the uninspired remakes of Kanto every few years. They never consider these locations. EVER. Even in the day and age of post launch support and paid DLC.

The battle frontier seasons also brought up a ton of areas that are not even in Emerald's battle frontier.

Would like to see some of these anime only places be added as DLC into the actual main games someday. Its was nice to see the sinjoh ruins in HG/SS and a missed opportunity they werent even mentioned in PLA.

I don't watch the anime, but if they're finally letting Ash's journey come to an end, it's about damn time. Dudes been 10 years old for nearly 30 years and finally became a champion. We've had more than enough time with him. Let the lil nigga age and move on already, they already did it with Blue and Red.




Unrelated edit

As expected, my shiny cat team gets whooped pretty often in casual online battles (can't do ranked until I swap out Perserker for Espeon), but words can't describe how satisfying it is when I force a metafag to rage quit because of how unconventional my team is.
You don't exactly go into online battles expecting something like a HP/SPE Scarf Zangoose (it's a cat ferret, apparently) dropping your uber with Final Gambit or a Switcheroo Persian stealing your Focus Sash for a T.Orb then T.Waving your other Pokemon or snuffing out your weather while a Normal Tera Guts Luxray with some bulk investment drops a Facade nuke on you.

Green is the kanto protagonist we deserve.

I liked the evolutions series they did a year ago but I still cant get over them reusing the same voice actor for Nepgear who uses the same tone and pitch of her voice for Green.

Also I am sick of hearing about sword and shield. that game is the fucking worst and makes me appreciate sun and moon even with its flaws more by the day. It didn't look like a unity asset flip and didn't have any massive glitches or empty areas as that game had. Iwata's passing really does show how much he carried the company.

Guess what happened in Pokémon along with Ash’s retirement announcemen?

What about his Primape though? Do we just forget that ever existed?

Ash is supposed to get a miniseries to close out his story so I hope the loose threads get tied up.

He mentioned Primeape and Squirtle recently, saying that he can go get them whenever he wants but chooses not to, so that they can continue training in what they like to do.

I know that its glowing moss, but why is there a shit ton of Tiberium all over the walls and floor of the houndoom cave in Scarlet/Violet? It has the same color palette and everything. Is the brotherhood of nod the real evil team in this one with the box legendaries being escaped bioweapon experiments?

I mean, it's just glowing moss, mate. it might be affected by the Terastalisation phenomenon, but more realistically it's there to justify relatively decent lighting in caves without torches and the like.

You say "same colour palette" but that colour palette is... a variety of bright to forest greens. exactly what you'd expect from glowing plants.

It's also prominent in each of the Herba Mystica caves.

Anyone playing PokeMMO? I caught this lettuce recently while trying to find an Absol holding a life orbView attachment 4087029

I do, I hardly play it anymore though because I can't find a good guild and I'm more of a PvP-appreciating person when it comes to MMOs and not many of the other activities after you complete the 4 regions are compelling, plus I imagine after they implement gen 2 they're gonna be done with development. Also because I bred a shiny Rampardos with near perfect competitive stats, but because I bred it with too many shinies from other trainers, shiny hunter faggots always flood my DMs with "you just bought that off the market."

Congrats on the green fella though

I read/watched somewhere that the GS ball was supposed to be way more important to the plot in Johto and was supposed to contain Celebi. Because the corporate heads wanted Celebi to be the main focus of the 4th Pokemon movie the anime plotline was scrapped and the GS ball was never mentioned again.

If I remember right, that entire plot thread allegedly would have ended with a whole humans vs Pokemon war, with Ash and Pikachu earnestly trying to kill each other. I'd take that with a grain of salt, though, because the person who said this ragequit the show after the other writers retconned Molly's mom being dead in the third movie.

They did mention the great war as early as the first episode. Thought it was a nod to ww2 since its a japanese show and they did get nuked twice. Wasn’t uncommon for most powerful pokemon to have that kind of capability early on in the series where anyone with hyperbeam could easily level a forest or recreate cinnabar island.

Pokemon in general were significantly nerfed in the anime as early as hoenn and at best now can only knock over a sturdy tree after crashing into it because they got a visit from truck kun. No more Donphan sonic dashing through the forest and creating a clearing visible from orbit with one use of rollout.

Except for the legendaries that are still as powerful but not as much as lugia raising the sea to re-create the flood in the noah’s ark story and them retconning that with kyogre’s creation for some reason. Now its just arceus creating a localized pocket of time travel and Dialga having a tiny flamethrower sized hyperbeam. Then having an autistic screeching fit that bursts everyones ear drums.

They did do a great job at keeping it pokemon while trying out more mature themes and darker tones. IIRC there was an arc where james got to be a badass for once against team rocket or something.
