Which reminds me of my old conspiracy theory: I feel like Hop had to be like...one of the first characters really put together? Aside from reusing Hau's animations (which sticks out even relative to other early game characters, who generally don't have that issue), Hop's mouth work and other...

I'd look at the scrapped aspect in a slightly different light. The games only came out 8 months apart in Japan, they were likely developed partially concurrently and Emerald also has Altering Cave with all the same Pokemon despite the extension. To me it seems like they scrapped the event...

legitimately I think this is just a coincidence. It's just a stretch and there's more differences in body language.

It's definitely the latter. "Official" Guidebooks do to an extent work with the company. While a thing might slip through here & there they're not allow to acknowledge things that are in the game but might come later, even if they might be revealed elsewhere. Especially during that era of the...

I thought there was one so double checking against Serebii's database it seems there was a giveaway in 2006 for the 10th Anniversary...but only in the US & Taiwan (& Japan, of course) Europe getting the short end as was usual for the era.

The most charitable read is they figured most people participating in the big events already had the old games so its not a big deal. Incompetence rather than malice, basically. They did bother granting access to Urshifu, the more broad top dog, rather than throw it also in the "pay up" bin...

Violedge probably could have worked though would definitely have a different connotation. It's definitely not Lavender but it is purple so Lavendedge also works. Could have just gone for a silent e and just have it become a regular one for the sake of portmanteau. Purpledge does unfortunately...

I am near no beaches, not without quite a drive. Pretty frustrating Which is nice, if only because Diancie's one of those rarely released ones. However the Home GO dex doesn't require them so I don't worry about them too much. Though I do try to obtain them where possible just in case for...

A fascinating list because while most make sense (no feet/only floats = no voice, because thats how Dr Footstep works) and a few are basically just jokes (the regi are weird not-robots, xatu is Mysterious, Shelgon has feet but is an honorary cocoon, paras(ect) is consumed by mushrooms) then you...

Don't suppose anyone's gotten a spare Wiglett they'd like to trade me in Home/SV? I live near no beach biomes and the discord I found who has similar brainworms to me is also in the lurch. No luck on the GTS either.

I'm guessing it was very intentional - guy who's goal was the pokedex now voicing the pokedex in the new series is pretty straight forward. I'd further guess they wanted to have a call back to the previous series and the Pokedex voice just provided a cute way of doing so without committing to...

I don't believe he did, it's just a fan theory based on Goh's VO voicing the Horizons Pokedex (not sure if that's kept in the Dub)

Probably aimed at helping Groudon its allies since they also get the Attack & Sp Def boost And generally i think raising special defense is never a bad thing to lean in on. Feels like grass types like special defense anyway Honestly I think the misstep was "boosting attack despite higher...

From running around the region for hundreds of hours, it's really funny the stark contrast in running around the early areas whicha re full of tall grass and tiyn pokemon vs anywhere else which often have less grass and larger pokemon where you generally only run into a Pokemon if it's Tauros...

If I had a nickle for every time a weird mid-battle form change clashed with battle design, i'd probably have several nickles but it's weird it happened twice in the same generation.

Since this is the third time they've done it and they were not made regularly available in the DLC, yeah this seems to be the only way they want to release the pair.

Sometimes they offset 7 star raid announcements, I think. So there could still be one to go with it, maybe? Kind of surprised they didn't rerun the Gimmighoul raids , actually.

Walking Wake/Iron Leaves will be running again from April 26 to May 6th I wonder if the plan is to just rerun these guys every season or so. That'd be nice considering their weird-ass stance as event only but not banned from competitions

I agree that no one will buy the game for a legendary raid & it acts as further incentive for people to play the game, but I disagree on the "anyone can just pay money for a hack" front. I think that the number of people who would do that are very slim and the most average joe guy wouldn't even...

I know you're joking but seriously VGC is in 3 months and the last legendary release was 5 months ago for the DLC. There's plenty of import-only legends they could have started peppering in, but we didn't even get something Legendary for Pokemon Day. Which really just killed any hopes of getting...
