So, with all these new games.. and for the ones who love playing pokemon aswell... Who's your favorite pokemon? mine is raichu: and what's your favorite game aswell?

Ex. I say Talonflame Next poster says Swampert Next poster says Ivysaur Etc. Doesn't matter if it's the Pokémon's primary or secondary typing, as long as one type is super effective against the previous Pokémon's type(s). Ready? I'll start. Chatot

Stages: 1 (No evolution, Legendary) Type: Psychic/Water Abilities: Madness* Base Stats: (Total- 600) Max HP: 140 Attack: 60 Defense: 100 Sp Atk: 120 Sp Def: 140 Speed: 40 Learnset: Lv. 01- Confuse Ray Lv. 01- Confusion Lv. 01- Whirlpool Lv. 09- Bubble Beam Lv. 16- Rain Dance Lv. 22- Water Pulse Lv. 28- Nasty Plot Lv. 34- Calm Mind Lv. 40- Stored Power Lv. 47- Psychic Lv. 55- Hydro Pump Lv. 62- Psyshock Lv. 70- Sanity’s End* Lv. 79- Future Sight ABILITY: Madness- Makes moves of the same type have a chance of applying confusion based on power (1% per 5 power), up to a cap of 30% added confuse chance. Moves that already have a chance have that percentage added to their current chance. "Whenever the Pokemon uses a move of its own type, it gains an added chance to confuse the opponent." UNIQUE MOVE: Sanity’s End- PP: 5 Power: 90 Accuracy: 90% Attacks the opponent with a mental onslaught of dread, has a high chance to inflict confusion (30%).

I know there are Pokemon threads, but I'm wondering if anyone else is playing the 1.1 or 1.2 patch of Pokemon Clover. You know that hard one made by 4Chan peeps with all of the offensive jokes and memes (most of which are old now considering the original version was from 2017)? Maybe even posting teams (though I know this game seems to have a way of discouraging using the same team for everything). Myself, I'm at the third gym and my team looks like this: AKBAR- Lv.27 Iguallah Na'Vi- Lv.26 Nonegative 3Chan- Lv.26 Clovour Stinky- Lv.26 Mudpants ChickFilA- Lv.27 Frieden Top Kek- Lv.26 Kekroach (Probably going to switch out Frieden for a Deemdow for the gym.)

Aaaand one month full of crunch later, we've got battles! Actual working in-game battles! You can swap forms, use moves, alter stats, drain meters, and everything! Some visual effects are still a bit rough but all that's coming in the polish stage. The most important bit right now is getting the logic behind everything working as intended. Now, some of the special side-effect calculations have yet to be implemented, but we've thought through all the dirty details and are confident about knocking them out over the next month. That way we'll be stepping into April with everything the demo will need plus an extra week of polish to spare! In terms of gameplay we've got fully functional turn-based combat. The math behind it all, the interface to make choices and display information, and the animations to go with it all. Just need to animate all 168 moves in the demo and add in a couple extra touches and we'll be set! Come see all the love and and long post-workday hours are going to. This past month was a straight up plentiful one in terms of results! For the full post, head on over to yotesgames.com!

MLPForums' Pokémon Thread Hello there, and welcome to the MLPForum's Pokemon thread! Pokemon is one of Nintendo's largest franchise's second only to Mario. The games revolve around you training creatures called 'Pokemon'. Pokemon are fantastic animals that can range from reptiles and mammals, to robots, spiritual entities, and beavers. As of Pokemon Black and White, there are 649 known species of Pokemon, not including the various forms many Pokemon can take. Like many popular franchises, the Pokemon games have seen plenty of spin-offs, including the Pokepark series, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, and the Pokemon Ranger series. Including all the spin-off games, there are 78 Pokemon games in existence, with 2 additional ones in production. So, use this thread to discuss Pokemon games, get help in Mystery Dungeon, get your team rated, battle with someone, tell everyone of your latest nuzlocke run, how Pikachu refuses to pick up the dang apple, or how Whitney's Miltank and Ghestis's Hydreigon are freakin' hacks, this thread is your on stop shop for all things Pokemon.

“From Nobody to Snombody” I was but a simple Snom, chilling out in the grass in a hailstorm. Suddenly, this trainer ran into me, damn near stepped on me. “Oh,” the trainer said to me, “A Snom. How cute!” I wasn’t sure what to think. Most trainers that ran into me typically run off or would get their grubby Pokemon to beat me up. But, this one was different from the others. He seemed to want to merely scratch me. He had one of his lackeys hit me with a Thunder Wave. It felt really weird and made my body tingle to the point that i can’t seem to move. He then pulled out a black ball with a yellow stripe and threw it at me!!! I ended up getting sucked into said ball. I tried to get myself free, but my muscles tensed up and i can’t budge. Next thing i know, i hear a click and i feel it getting picked up. I end up hearing that the trainer that caught me decided to call me Squishy. For Arceus sake, Squishy? Really? What am I, a gummy worm to......oh, i can see why he called me that. Anyways, we ended up going on a lot of camping trips in the Wild Area of Galar. I saw so many different kinds of Pokemon outside of the ice covered tundra i used to live in. They all seemed pretty scary, but my trainer’s team were pretty strong. I ended up watching them and learning how to fight, but my trainer still refused to let me out to fight. He stopped traveling a lot and pitched up a tent after shaking some berry trees. He always cooked some of the best food ever. He always fed me huge portions, or rather i always ate most of the curry he cooked. I liked how he always fed me. I mean, everyone still ate some of the curry, but i kept most of it to myself. He gave me this really weird looking bell. I dont know what it was for, but it was rather calming to shake it. My trainer sometimes went into some weird looking dens with lights coming out of them. He took one of his Pokemon with him and is gone for a few minutes. I know he always comes out safe, but i cant help but feel worried about him whenever he goes into these scary, dark places. He sometimes comes out of said den with a new friend, but he almost always has new berries and candy in his possession. He fed me these spicy-looking red candies. I was timid about eating them at first, but one encouraging look from his Pokemon was enough to get me to try them. They weren’t spicy at all. In fact, they were rather crunchy and sweet. After liking the first one, i ate nine more, then for some reason, my body felt like it can’t eat anymore of them. We ended up just camping and exploring all throughout the Wild Area from day to night. Come nighttime, however, was when everything changed for the better. “The time has come.” my trainer said as he looked at the moon then at me. I had no idea what he was talking about. Was he talking about dinner time? I sure could use some more food right now. And i was right, partially. We did indeed set up another campsite and had dinner. Little did i know that that was gonna be my last huge meal. After dinner, my trainer immediately took down the campsite and fed me ALL the mysterious blue candies he collected from the dens. “Eat up, little guy,” he told me “time to see what you’re made of.” I don’t know exactly what he meant by that, but i trusted him enough to gorge on those candies. Suddenly, i got this uneasy feeling all throughout my body, like it’s going through a sudden change. Oh my Arceus, my body IS going through a change. I’M EVOLVING!!!!! I think i lost consciousness for a second because the next thing i know, im not all that hungry anymore. I looked at my trainer, and he had tears in his eyes. Uh oh, I thought to myself, Did you not want me to evolve yet? Instead, he gave me a big hug. “You look so beautiful,” he told me with tears rolling down his cheeks onto my fluffy body, “Now, to make you extra strong.” He gave me the rest of the blue candies that made me this way. I felt, stronger. Like i can do anything. I now knew how to do some cool new moves like Quiver Dance and Bug Buzz. My trainer took me over to the Pokemon Center. At first i thought he was gonna put me back into the PC, but then he went to the guy on the left side of the Center. First, he gave me a new name. From here on out, I was known as Mothra. Next, he asked the nice man to teach me some moves. I ended up learning Air Slash and Ice Beam. Respectable moves to learn. Lastly, he oddly gave me a pair of boots. I have no idea what they’re for, but he says that they’ll protect me. I trust him. From then on out, he proceeded to continue hunting for more of those red and pink lights coming from the dens. When he came out with more candy, he fed me and my new friends, one of them was named Leeko, who looked like an Inteleon. We went on to the Championship matchup when it was suddenly interrupted by a scary-looking skeletal dragon. My trainer identified it as Eternatus. It looked horrific, like a hand reaching out into the land to grab onto someone to drain the life out of them. After my trainer and his friend vanquished the monster, he caught it. Is this what it looked like when he goes into those dens? I guess I may find out soon now that my trainer deemed me worthy of participating in the Championship match. The match against this boisterous champion was exhilarating to say the least. Many of us, myself included, got the wind knocked out of us multiple times during our match. I think my favorite part was when i went up against my opponent, a Dragapult. A couple of Ice Beams were enough to do him in. His own attacks, however, almost got me, almost. I was close to crying when i was at my limit. Luckily, my trainer took pulled me in, petted my head and whispered “Good job, Mothra” before putting me back into my ball. I got to see the final matchup from my trainer’s belt. Leeko versus our opponent’s Charizard. Both if them Dynamaxed at the same time. Leeko drew first, firing off a huge stream of water into that Charizard’s stupid face. The Carizard then exploded, shrunk, and fainted. Leeko then shrunk himself and was returned to his ball. The former champion threw his hat in celebration of my trainer’s victory over him. My trainer was the new champion of Galar. I was inducted into the Galar Hall of Fame with the title “The Galar Champion”, which is a worthy title for myself, I mean, i managed to beat a Dragapult for my team, for crying out loud. Anyways, days past after being declared Champions. Now, my trainer takes me, Leeko, Eternatus, a Dragapult of his own he named Pseudo-02 for some reason, and a Dracovish all around the Wild Area, always looking for those pillars of light. Finding more friends to play with. Oh, if you’re wondering about his sixth slot, he saves it for Snom eggs. That’s right, he’s breeding more brothers and sisters for me to continue my legacy. He tells me that with me as a Galar Champion, many young trainers will gravitate towards me. His plan with that was to breed a bunch of Snom, give them all cute nicknames, and give them out to young up and coming trainers, teaching them about the importance of bonds and relationships with your Pokemon, with me as a shining example.

Want to ask your favorite species of Pokémon a question? You can do it here! Wether it’s a Pokémon center Chansey, a police Growlithe, or just a wild Zubat, you can ask any Pokémon, from any region, any question you’d like. RotomDex will be helping me translate. RotomDex: *bbzzt* Hi everybody!! - Don't ask the same question over and over in different ways trying to get the answer you want - If you don’t pick a specific Pokémon to ask, then you’ll probably get an answer from MY favorite Pokémon, Ninetales (Disclaimer: This is meant for general species questions. If you want specific Pokémon characters from the anime, you might be out of luck. I haven’t seen much of it since Orange League.)

This past month has been the most productive by a mile. A nice new tradition I'm starting up is putting up 2 Patreon updates a month now. One at the beginning of the month and one at the end. These posts are getting super meaty and full of news now, so the separation gives some breathing room to the avalanche of content to talk about. This month's posts are about finally finding a programmer to help me exponentially speed up development. We got a lot done in just the past 30 days and now the prototype phase is at least 50% complete. See the full Patreon Exclusive posts here! Otherwise come back in a month for some big news. Because now that we have momentum going, a new demo you can play will be here before you know it. Or for now, come checkout a quick summary of October's progress on the Yotes Blog.

I'm talking metagaming. Do you do it? I don't particularly like the idea of metagaming, since I feel like its taking advantage of out-of-character knowledge--namely EVs, IVs, and breeding. I feel like it kind of takes the fun out of the game, too, if everyone has the same, perfect team. I've never played against anyone online for this reason, and because I'm afraid it'd just be a waste of time. I have a more...er...traditional style of playing, and I don't think I'd stand a chance against graduates from Smogon academy. I'd like to know what you guys think, though. Am I in the minority here? Or do you agree with me? What's your opinion on meta-gaming in general?

Hi, I'm wondering does anypony on here play Pokemon Showdown?

(Great now I'm copying people again) NOTE: All mon-centric lists only have one Pokemon per evolutionary line. Eeveelutions work because each evolution of Eevee is in its own seperate line, branching from Eevee. POKEMON (Top 15) Dusknoir (Ghost) [IV] Grovyle (Grass) [III] Pikachu (Electric) [1] Rayquaza (Dragon, Flying) [III] Krookodile (Dark, Ground) [V] Litwick (Fire, Ghost) [V] Articuno (Flying, Ice) [1] Ampharos (Electric) [II] Infernape (Fire, Fighting) [IV] Crawdaunt (Water, Dark) [III] Azumarill (Water, Fairy) [II] Honchkrow (Dark, Flying) [IV] Umbreon (Dark) [II] Scrafty (Fighting, Dark) [V] Roserade (Grass, Poison) [IV] GENERATION (Top 5 from each, except Gens 6 and 7 will only have top 3 as I've only played the games through Gen 5 at this point.)

So, found this personality test a while back. Been spending weeks on & off finding a good one and (of two) this one seems really quite genuine & on point. https://www.quiz-maker.com/Q0S40T4 Found it on Reddit, and while I'd like to give credit where it's due... don't know how to! Quite well done, as the fellow says they did their research more into how most of the Pokemon use their moves' typing. Like, for one, you could just lump Steel into being stoic & strong like Rock-Types, but what Steel actually does... is more ingenuity. Aggressively so. Shedding excess weight to go faster, blinding foes with your light, deft cutting... Rock just smashes. Feel it really makes you re-evaluate your views on things. Crystallizes a cold, clear-cut view. Sure, maybe you'd want to be your favorite Typing & elemental power... but maybe you're only seeing what you want to see from what you've conceptualized the concept as. Sure, maybe you want to be as edgy as Dark, but its just as competitive as Fighting-Types are. And a few additional things I may add, as sort of rules to this little game: 1. Anything below 60% doesn't count. That basically means the qualities of that typing show up in you barely any more than any other else. You'd be playacting against your own nature if you tried. 2. I would recommend taking the test several times. I'm an Ice-Type. (This is why I'm so focused on the typing myself.) And it never leaves the top two choices no matter how many times I try retaking it. Something that sturdy warrants placing as your Primary Typing & anything that consistently shows up under that as Second to Fourth places can opt as your dual typing. I got Ice Type followed by Ground, Grass & Psychic. Those latter three seemingly replaceable with each other. 3. Do, please, feel free to bring up your results! Given your top three, I can provide you with a list of dual-type pokemon that you can feel best represent you in turn. Or, indeed, a rundown of how the typed moves often work to give you an experience of how the element works. For example, my top two being Ice/Psychic.... ...*double facepalm*... makes me a Jynx...that makes far, far too much sense... Or possibly, Piloswine, Snover, Claydol, Exeggutor. ... I'm noticing a trend here. A trend of Doofyness. So! Please do let me, & us, know what your results are! Certain users I'd like to take this test are: I swear to Glod, if you don't get Water Typing, @Duality ... I'll have to grow a fist just to clench it dramatically. Though, in all honesty, I'm banking on you getting primarily Bug typing. @Stone Cold Steve Tuna as Poison typing. (There's just an amusing allure to your tone. Vindictive playfullness while being sympathetic all the same is very Poison.) @SolarFlare13 as Fire and/or Dragon. (Yeh little sparkplug, growin' up in da world!) @Catpone Cerberus as a... YER AH FAIRY, CERBIE!!! (It's a... vibe, I get. Of playful, caring intent.) And... while I'm at it... throw @Storm Shine in for Fairy & Flying to boot! And last but not least... likely the one other user on here I can kinda sympathize the most with... @Chrylestia600 as Ghost and/or Dark. Kind of... feels a bit insulting somehow, but... Ghosts are friendly sorts in the Pokemon world!

Starting development on things I can actually show off with visuals! Tilemaps recovered from oblivion, and steps towards an explorable overworld, this time made with a lot more common sense and cleanliness. Catch details on all that and more in this month's DevLog for the prototype of Battle Gem Ponies! (Get on the Patreon Hype Train for Exclusive Posts about the making, and remaking, of the game!)

So, a while back I was chatting with my friend and he mentioned how, out of over 800 Pokemon, not one of them was Electric/Fighting type. Curious, I looked it up and found that there were in fact 24 type combinations that had never been used before (excluding ones only used by Legendaries and Mega Evolutions.) Then I thought, "What would Pokemon with those typings be like?" and thus this simple, self-imposed creative challenge was started, where I try my best to come up with original Pokemon using only the types as a starting point. Some time later, and I have come up with around 20 Pokemon out of 14 of the 24 type combinations, some even with moveset, abilities, and Pokedex entries and I figured some of you Pokemon fans might be interested in what I've come up with so far. Here's a link to a Google Sheet with all of them in a neat order: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QauJKCNDh_UzDbqusr-k1LCe5DpMWwCNwB3lntffxwg/edit#gid=0

Which Pokemon game is your favorite? Why? My favorites are Pokemon White and Pokemon Black 2. I felt that these games had a fun and memorable playthrough. The games could have been a bit longer, but I loved pretty much everything about them.

Be warned, contains spoilers for Pokémon Black and White. To anyone who hasn't played it yet and plans to, you've been warned. There seems to be a sort of debate what N actually IS in the Gen V Pokémon games (well aside from his real name being really funny. Seriously look him up and you'll see that it's pretty bad if you have a sick mind). Some people say he's a villain because he's, on paper, the leader of Team Plasma, the evil team in Generation V. But here's the thing, technically HE ISN'T. You learn very late in the game (basically the end in fact) that Ghetsis was manipulating his "son" the entire time. Also, he seems to be awfully friendly towards the player for being the villain of the game But onto the actual subject of this blog post. What actually makes N a great anti-hero in my opinion? Well... N has a warped, but very interesting train of thought about Pokémon and their trainers. He thinks (or thought, before his mind was changed towards the end of the game's story) that Pokémon should be released from their trainers because they long to be free. Sure these ideas were brought on by Ghetsis basically brainwashing N for his own gain, but the ideas themselves are rather interesting. I mean think about it. We keep making them fight until they faint for our own enjoyment, we keep making them wear silly (but classy and cute) outfits to compete in contests for our own enjoyment, and we take them from their natural habitats and stuff them inside a little ball. But the problem with this train of thought lies in the assumption that N makes that all Pokémon are suffering and none of them are actually happy to do this for their trainers. Also, he doesn't think about how this will affect the trainers of the Pokémon. But this train of thought feels natural for him to have because the story reveals he was actually raised... by Pokémon and he shows his intelligence by how he argues his point of view, though occasionally he gets a little bit immature about it, but for reasons that actually make perfect sense considering his actual backstory. They aren't random outbursts, they are actually rooted to his lack of real contact with people. N is a part of the evil team, yes, but he actually has a heart. He throughout the game shows that he has legitimate concern for all Pokémon, and even to a degree the player. He occasionally will heal your team, show you the benefit of the doubt even when you disagree with his ideas, and even release his Pokémon after he loses battles to you (he is the only recurring rival or villain to never keep his team. The only Pokémon he DOESN'T release during the game's events is Reshiram or Zekrom (Depending if you play White or Black respectively), and even then he seems to avoid putting him in an actual ball unlike you who keeps theirs in the ball, whether it be your Master Ball, an Ultra Ball, or whatever ball you catch him with. He actually shows more concern for his Pokémon than you or anyone else does with theirs. Not to mention, he actually only serves Ghetsis because his adoptive father convinced him and everyone else that Plasma's mission is to free all Pokémon from their trainers. If he knew the real reason for Ghetsis' agenda against all of the people (including non-trainers even) in Unova, he would have immediately had scorn for Ghetsis and would never have went along with Plasma's takeover of Unova, especially being the king representing such a takeover. N's battles are generally difficult enough to put up a challenge for people who don't have a good understanding of Pokémon, especially the last battle you have with him in Black and White. His Pokémon are made deliberately two or three levels higher than your own, and without a proper amount of strategy it is potentially challenging especially for being a battle in a Pokémon game against a character that technically isn't the Champion or an Elite Four member. He has a variety of types in his teams and his trainer AI isn't going to make battling him too easy, but also not too hard for the tykes the game was initially designed for. I mean none of the trainers in Pokémon games are particularly challenging with a few notable and frustrating exceptions (WHITNEY AND HER FREAKING MILTANK ), but they aren't supposed to be. I think N's AI does this really well and I applaud whoever designed his AI specifically. Well, I'm bad with conclusions, but those are my reasons. N is a kind person with somewhat twisted ideas that provides an adequate challenge for the player. Also, he looks kind of cute. DAMMIT JAPANESE ARTISTS ARE SO GOOD AT MAKING PEOPLE LOOK CUTE Anyways, N in my mind, fits every criteria for a good anti-hero in a video game and he does it well in his own way, making him an interesting character to say the least and I think probably even one of the best characters in the entire video game franchise. Not the anime version of him though, because the cleverness of the character was taken out of the anime. But I say in Black and White, he was a cleverly written anti-hero that checked all of my boxes. Yeah I repeated myself multiple times here, but that is it.

So, with Pokemon Sun & Moon heading towards us, I'm personally looking forward to another wonderful soundtrack from the games. I don't think there's ever been a Pokemon entry where I have felt dissatisfied with the musical score, Junichi Masuda does an amazing job and I have little reason to fear that won't be the case here. So with that said, what are some of your favorite music tracks from the games? Doesn't necessarily have to be from the main series either, the spin-offs have their share of it too. One I've been listening to recently is the Cipher Peon Battle from Colosseum. Might be a synthesizer, but I still love that guitar riff.

Here is Saffron City from Super Smash Bros. on the Organ. Enjoy. Special Thanks to my patron, (Ultimate Fan) Juke Denton, for supporting me on Patreon. Join him here: http://www.patreon.com/jonnymusic

According to sources, the first two generations of My Little Pony lasted in the US from 1983 to 1998. And guess what? Pokemon was introduced there in 1998! I also want to point out that most Pokemon toys were sold by none other than Hasbro, the creators of My Little Pony. This convinces me, Pokemon might have been the successor of classic (not today's) My Little Pony back then!

I do forget where I first heard this practice from, but I do like the results! What a Spirit Pokemon is, is sort of a guardian protector. Something that aids & symbolizes you, something like a guardian angel or a totem animal. But somewhat less serious, heh. What you do is: Go to Random.Org Which is a random number generator website. Then put in 1 as the Min and in the Max window, put in whatever number of Pokemon they're up to now. When you get your random number, take it to Serebii.Net or wherever else has a full list of the Pokemon and find which Pokemon matches the number you got, and there's your own Spirit Pokemon! Oh, and one rule is: What you get on your first round through, you're stuck with! No slip-ups,no re-dos! You forget and put in what was the total amount of Pokemon when last you played years ago, then your stuck with that'un! No new Spirit Pokemon everytime a new generation comes out! Come back here & let us know what you got! I for one think it has some merit to make you feel better. There's quite a few comic strips around that joke about what happens if you get something useless like Magikarp and that was fully what I was expecting on account of me not thinking too much of myself. What I wound up getting... was Mightyena, the giant dark almost-werewolf pokemon! If that ain't a sign to buck up & wear a badge of courage, I don't know what is!

Pokemon detective pikachu a game for 3DS is about a talking pikachu playing as a detective and your job is to help solve mysteries with pikachu. Apparently a movie is being made by warner bros and here's the official trailer. So here's my honest opinions on this..although I really like the fact to finally see a real life pokemons and pikachu ( i mean look how cute and fluffy he is) till he opens his mouth. I was expecting the voice tone to be more fitting to this adorable creature. Overall I have a mixed feeling about this movie..while growing up with pokemons, there's nothing nostalgic about this movie. Now I never played the game before so maybe that's the case or because different cultural media. So honestly I have no words about this movie at all...What's annoys me is how most of the reaction from the people is that they thinks this movie is going to be like deadpool just because Ryan is voicing pikachu. Deadpool and pokemon is in a while different level from each other. So..what do you think of this movie so far? UPDATE: This thread can be use as a review/discussion once the movie is out for May.

The title says it all, out of all of the 700+ pokemon we have, which is your absolute favorite? Mine's extremely obvious!

You might remember in an earlier blog I made that I listed my top 10 favorite Pokemon. Well, now it's time to flip the switch with my top 10 least favorite Pokemon. Before we start, keep in mind that this isn't a list of the top 10 weakest Pokemon. You can find lists like that on bulbapedia or maybe Smogon. These are just my top 10 personal least favorite. 10. Purugly I had a bit a trouble making up this list since there aren't that many Pokemon I don't like. Some Pokemon like this one that are lower on the list I don't hate them, I am just not to fond of them. Purugly always weirded me out. I would get sick of seeing these things since Team Galactic always carried them in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. I also found it strange that one of the things known about it is the fact that it's ugly, especially after evolving from Glameow, who is a rather beautiful Pokemon. Sorry Purugly. 9. Lickylicky I was never really a fan of Licktung in general. It always felt like one of the filler Pokemon since it was always just there and never evolved. Plus, tongues? Really? And people say they newer designs of Pokemon aren't as creative. This thing however is worse due to the fact it managed to get an evolution. This Pokemon just looks all derpy looking. It's design looks odd to me. So this is what happens when you give a tongue Pokemon an evolution. Honestly, if this thing didn't exist then Licktung would be taking this spot. 8. Luvdisc Why does this thing exist? What is its purpose in the series? I mean it doesn't evolve, has terrible stats, and is a water type that looks like a heart for some reason. Don't ask me how those two are related. Yeah this isn't the only Pokemon who's design isn't related to its type on this list. 7. Eggecute/Eggegutor Yeah here it is. Let me get the question out of the way first. How are eggs psychic? I find it slightly worse than Luvdisc since this thing has something else that doesn't make since. How do eggs evolve into a palm tree? I've heard some Pokedex entries say they are actually seeds which would make more since, but they keep that very inconsistent. 6. All those freaking Pikachu clones (Pichu, Plusle, Minun, Pacharisu, Emolga, Dedene) We get it Game Freak, Pikachu is basically the most well known Pokemon so much that you don't even have to know anything about Pokemon and still know who Pikachu is, but really? Do we need a new Pikachu clone every generation? Pichu kind of got away with it in gen 2 since it evolves into Pikachu. But the others? I find Pacharisu adorable but still a Pikachu clone. Plusle and Minun feel like they were only implemented in the games to show off double battles. Emolga and Dedene? Well same issue as Pacharisu. I kind of wish they'd stop introducing a new electric rodent every generation just to ride off of Pikachu's popularity. 5. Patrat Not much to say. You take a Bidoof with Ratatta clone stats and give it creepy eyes that looking totally jarring. 4. Farfetch'd This is another one that falls into the "Why does this exist?" category. I mean we already had much better normal/flying types in gen 1, did this thing really need to exist? The anime made these things out to be really rare and powerful Pokemon. Well, they're only right about one of those things. They're rare cause the only place to get them is an in-game trade for a Spearow. You know, a normal/flying type that is far superior to this thing. Also, I never really liked the look on its face. It always looked like a troll who was constantly teasing me. 3. Delibird Remember when I said that Farfetch'd has a troll look to it? Well, this thing has a derpy look to it. Not to mention, that it's completely useless with its only move having a 20% chance of healing the opponent. We get it you Santa bird, you give out presents, but not to the enemy. Not to mention that there was one that at one point followed Team Rocket in the anime and it was extra annoying. 2. Unown This is the Pokemon I've always had a problem with. It's gimicky in a way where they make you wanna catch all 28 forms of this thing. It's misleading in a way that the 3rd movie made them out to be these powerful beings, when in the games they're freaking useless. And they for some reason take up their entire own ruins for some odd reason. Yeah, turn them to alphabet soup. 1. Spinda There's so many things I don't like about this thing. They have possibly an even dumber gimmick than Unown by having millions of different combinations that the spots could be on their body. Why should I care? They have quite possible the derpiest design ever. In fact, they always looked so miserable to me with the fact that they're eyes are dizzy eyes. And they're totally useless with no evolution and crummy stats. But seriously give this these things a barf bag? Thanks for reading. If I put a Pokemon you like on this list, try not to be offended.

Welcome, Everypony, to the Pokemon Avatar Extravaganza! September 7th - September 30th Artwork by fuutachimaru Hello, everypony, Discord here with further shenanigans for the masses to enjoy~ How is everypony enjoying @Rarity's little fashion week thus far? If you haven't seen it yet, check behind the curtain to find out all about it, as well as other official forum events. There's trivia, polls, dresses to create and gems nearly as beautiful as my face for you all to collect. Fashion Week got me thinking - and I mean some truly, truly deep thinking - the kind of thinking I only get done in my Thinking Tree kind of thinking. I was thinking and I said to myself, I said - 'Discord, there are many other ways to express your interests besides the clothes you wear, yes? Yes, most definitely, Discord, you're such a genius. Oh why thank you, how kind of you to notice! What were you thinking of, Discord, you sly old fox? Well I'm so glad you asked. Why not have the users of our forum wear something else to express a common interest? Why not avatars? And why not...Pokemon?' You see in my expert opinion, Pokemon, like ponies, is a wide and common fandom on the grand old internet. And so, for the entire month of September, this topic will remain pinned in our Forum Lounge, encouraging any and all users to pick a favorite Pokemon of theirs and use it as their avatar! There is, however, a catch. No duplicates! The Rundown: * Make a comment with the name and picture of the Pokemon you wish to use as your avatar. Your posted image does not have to be the avatar you end up using, it's a visual reference for those scrolling through the thread, in case the OP hasn't been updated yet. Your name will be added to the list along with the name of your chosen Pokemon. * Once you've claimed a Pokemon, no one else may officially submit their participation as that same Pokemon. However, there can be one shiny and one non-shiny variant for each Pokemon, as long as the color palette is an obvious difference. If TwibobSparkpants123 wished to be Charizard, then AwesomeBoi42 would be allowed to be Shiny Charizard, for example. Alolan variants of Kanto Pokemon also count as separate entries. * You can move on from the event at any time. When you are done with the event and wish to move on, make another comment saying so, and you shall be removed from the list. Keep in mind that once you bow out of the event, the Pokemon you claimed will be open again for other people to take. * Try not to switch Pokemon after having claimed one, unless it's to grab something that just opened up, that you really want. If everyone changes thier entry constantly this thread will descend into chaos! As fun as that'd be, the boys in blue tell me unfiltered chaos is a no-go. At the bottom of this nonsensical rant is a list of all users officially submitted to this thread's reservoir of participating members. My dear friend @~C. Discord~ will be assisting me in running this thread, and should any other wayward staff find themselves up in the clouds with us, then they too are welcome to help out~ Some Pokemon Threads for your Influenced Suggestion: Official List of Participating Users *Most Definetly Not @Passion*: Poke'on, everypony~ Art by MistyEDash
