>We haven't seen it yet due to no in-game animations being shown, but from a little snippet it looks like it breaks it's arms to try and use them as a lower jaw >The reaction it has caused has either been complete depression or utter mockery The pain........it just doesn't stop........

>>21680 It may be difficult to go on with trouble like this but you should hold your head high because at the very least it's not Typhlosion's situation that Feraligatr is going through.

>>21681 I knew it was going to be bad........but I wasn't expecting a full blown humiliation ritual by Gamefreak....... This feels deliberate, like someone at Gamefreak fucking hates Gatr, with Typhlosion it was accidental, nobody ever expected some mostly unused background legends to find their way into the mainstream, it was retarded still despite the shitposting, but this, this hurts, this hurts because it was very much intentional, it was approved, someone looked at this dogshit and thought it was okay in any way whatsoever. Not even Mega Victreebel looks this retarded, the few other leaked Megas look fine (Mega Emboar also got shafted), hell I'd even go to say that some of them like Mega Drampa and Scolipede look fucking great. I'll get over it, but fuck Gamefreak.........genuinely fuck Gamefreak.........

Charizard is my favorite because it was my first pokemon, simple as that. She also happened to be female, by random chance. No resetting or anything. Didn't even know how to do that back then anyways.

>>20290 >Their shinies are so good. They are, most legendaries have pretty good shinies, but theirs really are nice. The colors are different enough to make it clear that they are special, but not odd and unfitting. The black and red on Koraidon are great, and the light silver matches well with the light purple and blue on Miraidon.

>>20261 The Shiny Miradon/Koraidon codes are now being distributed! (Or depending on where you are, they have been available for almost 24hrs). Make sure to get out there and get one if you can! Has anyone else faced any difficulty getting these codes? It seems like if you aren't one of the first customers of the day, you just don't have much of a chance of getting one, due to seemingly very limited numbers being given to stores. Of course this can all depend on store and location, but some stores were all out of cards by the end of the morning.

>>20261 For anons in Italy, it seems like there will be a distribution of Shiny Miraidon and Koraidon for you all as well! From now until October 15th, if you go to any Gamelife store, you can pick up a code to use in your game. It seems like there is an extra step, though. You must bring in a copy of Scarlet or Violet as well as your Switch system to prove that you own the game. This should have been done in all the other locations, too. Personally, I was unable to get a code even though I stopped by my local stores on the first day they were available. According to employees, codes were gone shortly after opening, and there were lines outside before the stores even opened. Were there that many pokemon fans waiting? Did they just give codes to every customer without asking if they really owned the game? It doesn't help that it seems like some stores were given a very small number of code cards. For many people, the codes were given out starting on a weekday morning. Kids are at school, most adults are at work. Were adults without jobs/adults who took the day off the only ones to get codes? Seems like the days of kids getting cool legendary pokemon through cards are mostly over if this is the trend.

>>19878 Yeah, at this point I'm more interested to see the games general reception, especially if rumors of gen 10 ditching turn-based combat are true. If people don't care for the new combat system it could have long lasting effects on the future of the games. I was kind of getting excited for Z-A until they announced the DLC. Now I have no interest since it is going to be unfinished with parts cut out for DLC.

>>19882 >Yeah, at this point I'm more interested to see the games general reception Undoubtedly there will be a flood of positive reviews right when the game launches, and not necesarily from anyone getting paid to give a positive opinion. There are just so many people willing to say good things about Pokemon because they are that into it, they may be truly blind to the negative aspects. But if there is a higher critical reception than usual from launch at the same time, it will be interesting to see how the internet reacts. >especially if rumors of gen 10 ditching turn-based combat are true I haven't heard any rumors of such a thing, though I do believe you. If it's true, then Z-A could be a way to see how fans like a non turn-based system. It would be a shame if they move away from turn-bases, as if they are looking to shake things up, there are ways to make turn-based combat more unique and exciting. >If people don't care for the new combat system it could have long lasting effects on the future of the games. It could be one of the only things that shakes the influence Pokemon has on the market. It wouldn't destroy it's hold on gaming, but it would be divisive for sure. >spoiler I was excited too. Nowhere near as excited as I was years ago when I was younger and playing Pokemon, but I was excited to see how this newer gameplay and setting would work out. But this Day 1 DLC and content being locked behind an online membership really puts a sour taste in my mouth. It's nothing but pure greed, greed that doesn't need to happen, but Nintendo and GameFreak are doing it just because they know they can. The slight eagerness I had to try out this game is now nothing but a tiny spark. And I doubt we are the only ones that feel this way.

interested in the combat since its the first time they are actually changing the main game in any significant way. but also completely uninterested because i fully expect it to be awful....maybe not s/v bad, but certainly still have the soulless, 0 effort, 0 care hame design theyve done for like 10 years now

>>20675 >>20678 gg. I can bake

GG on all the stuff I missed. Wind knocked out my internet antenna and I spend nearly a whole day without much to do. Got a bit frustrated with trying to catch Motherfuck in Clover and decided to try PALF's old beta, holy shit it was wild. >Instead of Silver talking to you at the start, it's a hot ace trainer OC that looked like she would have plot relevance later >Weirdly enough she sorta acts like Melody except less bitchy, she even has some of the mannerisms down like chewing bubblegum all the time >You can pick 1 of 4 roommates >ONE OF WHICH IS CHEREN AND HE'S NOT A COMPLETE ASSHOLE AND IT EVEN COMPLIMENTS YOU FOR HELPING HIM, THIS FEELS SO FUCKING WEIRD >Shauna is one of your friends, albeit it might just be if you dorm with Calem, which I did >She's fucking adorable, she's hyper like Bianca, except unlike with Bianca, she has no off button, can't believe I'm saying this considering she's literally la creatura, but assuming she made it into PALF's current version with the exact same personality (and a better sprite, holy fuck her current one is really bad), I'd very likely focus on dating her >Bianca is a ditz and a bit of a dumbass, with Cheren often having to correct her mistakes >Mfw Tierno and the Kalosian friend group are not only extremely based but they outright call how fishy the Janine battle was, with her opponent playing like an idiot >They don't run away when Lance scolds you, and Tierno even comforts you by saying who gives a shit what Lance thinks >Lance is not as old as I assume he is the current version, his relationship with Janine isn't elaborated upon and he's a fucking manlett, literally Bejita >RED STANDS UP TO LANCE AND TELLS HIM TO EAT SHIT >SKYLA WAS IN PSYCHIC CLASSES TOO, WHY MUST THE WORLD BE SO CRUEL?! >PALF's old plot sounded a lot like gen 9's weirdly enough with Team Star, it was also heavily hinted the school's old board was led by Giovanni >Sabrina is still around but almost never talks >Red doesn't have Frienergy, but is a Pokemon whisperer instead, as in he talks to Pokemon and understands them, it's also kinda subtly hinted he might have psychic powers

new thread >>20681 it's here >>20681 new thread >>20681

>>8233 >What was your first shiny pokemon? Shiny Glimmora. I had been playing pokemon for numerous years before Scarlet and Violet, but hadn't run into any shiny pokemon at all until I played Scarlet. It was by complete chance; I'm not sure if I even had the shiny charm yet. >What is your most recent shiny pokemon? Shiny Axew. I wanted to finally have a Shiny Haxorus, so I caught an Axew during that event where there were Axew outbreaks with increased shiny odds.

Just in case any anons are unaware: The shiny forms of the Treasures of Ruin quartet are available now through Mystery Gift on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. They are all available until September 30th, so be sure to grab them while you can. As of today, there are only 10 days left to do so. Who knows if these guys will ever be available again in an official capacity, so it's worth dusting off the ol' cartridge to get them. Each one of them had to be defeated in at least 1 million raids worldwide for these shiny forms to be available as a gift, and thankfully you don't have to be a participant to reap the reward. There isn't any dedicated SV thread, nor is there a thread for official events or anything, so I thought to post this here instead.

>>20188 Thanks for the heads up. Just got them. Maybe someone should make a thread for Mystery Gift events.

>>475 That's only because you have stockholm syndrome...

4chan is back online you know

>>2685 proof?

Also who ever would have guessed Ditto of all Pokemon would get his own spin-off?

>>19663 Pokemon Animal Crossing? Can I make my Pokemon town into a compound for my harem of Gardevoir waifus?

The Nintendo Direct happening right now just revealed Megas for all the Kalos Starters and Mega Raichu X and Y .

>locked behind dlc and an online subscription Thanks Game Freak. Also imagine announcing a $30 dlc before the shotty game is even out. Remember when Legends Arceus was just a $60 game with no overpriced DLC or forced online?

>>19560 Given how Pokemon is a media titan, it's not surprising how frustration about Mega Pokemon being locked behind paid online and a paid DLC seems to be somewhat suppressed online, unless I'm not looking in the right places. It's a very reasonable thing to feel negative about. The Mega forms are finished, complete, and won't take any extra work beyond the release date for the team, which means they have not earned any extra pay beyond the $70 Switch2 price tag. Gamefreak doesn't even specify when the stones will be available to those who do play online. It says Greninja's stone is available starting October 16th, which is launch day. But it doesn't say how long each season lasts. Will it take a month to be able to use Mega Delphox? Then another month to use Mega Chesnaut? There's no way that a season will only last one or two weeks. This is simply a way to make sure player numbers stay high for several months after release, which makes Nintendo look good to investors. They'll lure players bored or finished with Z-A back to get that mega stone. The player might not even be guaranteed to get the stone, even. https://archive.ph/bo9cI >"Mega Stones for Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox, and Mega Greninja can only be obtained as rewards for being promoted up the ranks." This implies you have to move up ranks to get these items. >"Greninjite, Delphoxite, and Chesnaughtite stones cannot normally be obtained during regular gameplay." >"Mega Stones obtainable as promotion rewards are planned to be redistributed in future seasons." >in future seasons. So even in the future, it seems like the mega stones wont be released freely to players as, say, a mystery gift. They will be rewards again for future seasons of the Battle Club. It would be scummy but they could decide to release the stones to all players for Christmas or in January 2026 or something, but this doesn't seem to be the plan. >announcing a $30 dlc before the shotty game is even out The fact that they have something to announce means the DLC is probably complete or almost complete. Again, which means it should just be in the game in the first place. They even include Mega Raichu as the poster child, a form that makes it look like Pikachu and is thus even more potentially tempting for the average player. If all of this happened 10 or so years ago there would have been outrage.

>>18839 I've been meaning to watch it. I love the stop motion look.

>>18839 It's a decent show. It accomplishes what it sets out to do. It's a basic, relaxing, low stakes show with a fun animation/art style that gets people's attention without being controversial. It's great to watch with family or with kids because you know it's going to be safe and not too upsetting. I don't feel a pressing need to go watch the next season, but I wouldn't be against watching it at all either. I guess my biggest question is why pokemon need concierges anyways? Why not have the pokemon roam a resort by themselves and have some humans there to make sure things don't go crazy? Pokemon don't need to be served hand and foot by humans, especially in nature. Clearly this is too deep of a question for a show like this, but I found myself asking asking this as I watched. It's probably because it's easy to make writing the viewers can relate to if there are humans involved. The basic, surface level concepts about doing what makes you happy or making friends can most easily be shown through human character development.

>>17432 I just haven't been chatting with her through this AI model I used in a while. Just something feels off with me and I'm not sure what.
