Pokemon General [SFW, No NSFW]

@pixel
lmao, yeah

(no I’m not buying the games, I didn’t even buy Sw/Sh or Lets Go)

Not to brag, but…Leon isn’t the champion of Galar anymore~

Close to finishing Pokemon Sword, got the 6th Gym Badge; on my way to getting the Seventh one.

My current team is

Cinderace
Grimmsnarl
Obstagoon
Rhydon (going to swap out for Umbreon)
Drapion
Golisopod

@LightningBolt
Meanwhile I did get SP because gen 4 was the first gen I missed out on because that’s when everyone around me decided Pokemon was for babies and real men play Halo or whatever.

Actually, that was probably partway through gen 3 which is why I felt like I had to play Emerald in secret.

There’s a missed opportunity

Travelin with friends.

By which I mean I defeated Leon and became the new champion of Galar.

@Background Pony #A9CB
So did everyone else.

All valid in the name of the Field Egg Group.

That Piers scene where you first encounter him seems rather weird since its not dubbed over.

And when I get Shining Pearl next week, I’m gonna dethrone Cynthia.

@LightningBolt
You’re really against The Pokémon Company’s current policies, huh?

@Background Pony #A9CB
Cynthia has already been dethroned multiple times.

@Red-Supernova
What would those policies even be?

Please tell me Hyper Training and Nature Mints are in these games. There’s no way they can fuck that up, right?

@Wiimeiser
Rushing out their games because they can’t take a fucking risk and delay their merch until the games have all the content they need.

@Red-Supernova
Merch doesn’t really need to be delayed tbh. It always comes out before or after a major game by months anyway.

@Red-Supernova
Very much.

@LightningBolt
Can the same thing go for anime seasons as well?

@LightningBolt
sigh Me too. Its very depressing to watch and that some people are fine with this.

Random, but, never really understood the obsession with Cynthia tbh. She’s…fine? There’s nothing about her that makes her stand up above other champions, or makes those other champions stand out over her.

@Red-Supernova
idk. I haven’t watched it since 2007.

@LightningBolt
Its because people love a strong competent woman character who is a good influence.

@LightningBolt
I don’t think watching it matters as those are also used to promote the newest games and release at the same time from what I’ve heard.

@Red-Supernova
I mean ain’t most other champions like that? Just most are guys. I don’t care much for most human characters in Pokemon regardless tho so idk.

I know I’m just saying I have no clue.

@LightningBolt
Like I said, it probably has to do with being the female gender and how a lot of people remember getting their asses handed to them by her Garchomp.
