Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

[pinetree]

Huge downgrade from the book but I love it anyway.

Cursed be the day I chose Violet.

[Random]

Dinosaur Suicune is based and anyone who doesn't like it is a coward.

Also, does this debunk the Burned Tower legend?

[pinetree]

All the future and ancient pokemon are made up, created by the third legendary because turo and sada liked occult magazines too much.

At least that's the most likely explanation based on what we've seen so far. There's no actual time travel.

[Random]

Yeah, I've heard that one too. I guess this would be a regular manifestation of their doodles.

Also, "I'm going to the past/future!", *jumps off a completely ordinary cliff*

[Reign]

Scarlet keeps winning with paradox mons. They're all way more creative than just "x but a robot".

The first DLC at a matsuri looks pretty neat. Second one doesn't look particularly unique to grab me, just a big stadium.

[Rafflesiac]

Suicune deserved better. Those tails are just so bad.

[Spinach]

It's a good design.

[Deathhappens]

Holy shit, what an ugly Suicune.

Other than the tail this design is baller idk what you're talking about.

We're still getting cross-game raids in the multiplayer section, right? The other Paradox 'mons didn't appear in raids but it looks like these two will.

[GDB]

I didn't realize it until this morning, but these new paradox Pokemon being raid-mons is so much more disappointing than I expected it to be. It's like, sure, they're free I guess, but they've completely lost the sense of adventure in finding them and catching them like a normal Pokemon game.

I was okay with raids for old Pokemon that weren't really in the game, but this just feels... wrong.

[Deathhappens]

Cut them some slack, if they tried to mess with existing Pokemon spawns to add them to the overworld directly they'd probably end up exiling some other 'Mon to never spawn again, or move all their spawns into a mountain or something.

Eh, yeah it's lame but it's not really new. In-game events for DLC Pokemon, like stuff like DP's haunted house and nightmare-island for Darkrai, already stopped happening years ago. At least with the raid it's better than it just being a gift you pick up from the Pokemon Center.

[Deathhappens]

Wait, I just realised not-Suicune is bipedal and has tiny raptor arms, goofy-looking motherfucker LOL
still cute though

[Laserman]

[Rafflesiac]

Lol, he gets his wings back.

[Deathhappens]

Ugh, I could take or leave Greninja but I'm gonna HAVE to have Decidueye

flying type doesn't give it much coverage fortunately I can probably get away with Miraidon

Decidueye is kicking my ass lmao, after he sword dances he oneshots with all his STAB moves.

[Random]

I'm doing alright, but not so alright that I can clear the fight. I can get him into the yellow most of the time using my Ceruledge, and Clear Smog takes care of Swords Dance right off the bat. Bitter Blade keeps me alive, but the animations just don't complete fast enough.

Of course, if it gets a single crit at a bad moment, I have to completely start over ._.
