Well, that's the question. Everything about its description seems to imply there's a single Type: Null, and it was constructed for a specific purpose. When there's only one of something, that makes it a legendary. But we don't know that for sure, just as we don't know for sure if Tapu Koko is a...

Silvady's ability being called "AR System" seems to further confirm its connection to Arceus. It'll be interesting to see if Arceus actually plays into S&M's plot. It's 3 generations removed as a legendary, but it's one of those pieces of Pokemon lore I've always enjoyed. Edit: Also I forgot in...

I did get excited by this headline hoping it was the "purified" Ground-type Grimer... I'm not a fan of this direction, but I'll have to read the description to see what they're going for. Maybe it's referencing a real-world aspect of pollution. Maybe the yellow strip is supposed to be some...

I actually came here to say I thought the animation improved in this episode. It was very expressive and carried the story. There were a lot of small, really carefully animated moments. However, the pacing of the action could have been better. I liked how Dragonite can fly but instead it did a...

I was really hoping Pyukumuku and Mimikyu (say that 10 times fast!) would both get evos, but it wasn't to be, if prevailing theories are correct. But I still have hope for Minior becoming a pure Rock or Rock/Ground Miniorite, where it sits in a crater and is maybe broken open to reveal its...

Legendaries not evolving seems like the kind of rule they're bound to break at some point, since they've gotten Megas and Origin forms and many can change form anyway. But even if there's no evolution rule-breaking, it could be a Manaphy-Phione situation. Breed Solgaleo or Lunaala with each...

I was just thinking a thread like this would be good! I have to quibble with the note that Pokemon usually hides its villains at first. Cyrus, Lysandre, and Archie/Maxie were all hit-you-over-the-head obvious. Probably the best example of a hidden big bad was Ghetsis, and that was still pretty...

I have to jump in to defend Hoenn as well. It hit a nice level of quality and quantity with the Pokemon it introduced. I have really fond feelings for the lines of Zigzagoon, Wingull, Surskit, Shroomish, Nincada, Aron, Wailmer, Trapinch, Cacnea, Lileep, Duskull, Snorunt... basically every...

I loved the 2nd episode. This is exactly what I wanted: something to explore the canon and in-between stories of the game series, like this story taking place in the aftermath of Red and Blue. It really captured how powerful Pokemon are -- the scene with the Arcanine straight up melting a...

I just bought a galaxy edition, and I love it. At first I thought it was just a black New 3DS XL with a galaxy decal, but it's also got a deep blue, kinda sparkly matte finish inside. Also it's always bothered me how they print the artwork on every special edition so that it's upside-down when...

...I no longer want the UBs to be catchable Pokemon. Yikes. And I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way, but these new ones are giving me much more of a Pokestar Studios boss vibe. Even though Rugarugan's midnight form is kind of your standard-issue edgy bipedal Shadow the Hedgehog sort of...

I was curious, and a Pokemon that's all types at once would have 8 immunities: Normal, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Ghost, Electric, Psychic and Dragon. That's five fewer immunities than Shedinja, I guess. It would have only one weakness: x2 to Rock. It would take neutral damage from Fire, Water...

That's a good theory, though we see it appearing from a portal in the Japanese trailer. But it definitely has the look of a shapeshifter trying to mimic her hat, hair, and dress.

I don't agree that UB-01 "is" Lillie. Their designs seem related for sure, and we know Lillie has some kind of secret, but I doubt the secret is she's actually a transdimensional jellyfish beast coming to destroy Alola. Pretty sure she's a human girl. I'm not a fan of this either. Or the whole...

Wow, the Japanese trailer is so much better than ours. Lots of footage of Alola in the first minute, lots of Aether dialogue later, new music, actual editing. I don't know why we keep getting these incomplete trailers, but the essential version is here: There's also another video in the "Train...

I agree, this doesn't really legitimize all the leaks that mention Alolan Rattata. As soon as Yungoos' backstory and Alolan forms were revealed, many saw a new form for Rattata coming, since that mirrors what actually happened in Hawaii. Those leaks could have just been adopting speculation or...

That's because every battle mechanic prior to Mega Evolution actually contributed positively to the game. #shotsfired #hopemegaevolutionhasburnheal Also there was... rotation battles? Did those come back? Aerial battles might not come back. Basically all the gimmicky features that get old or...

I caught up on the past few seasons recently, loving the various character arcs, and Mindful Education really blew me away. I've had depression/anxiety problems most of my life, and I don't think I've ever seen what is basically a cognitive therapy exercise turned into a piece of entertainment...

My favourite from that fakemon batch rumour is definitely the middle Popplio evo. For something to go from Popplio to a big elegant siren, it would make sense to have a gangly teen phase. I also really like the dragonfruit Bounsweet evo and Morilull Parasect. And if Weezing and Muk get...

Okay, but I can make this exact case about ghost types and grudges/possession, and that's what I was getting at. Not that grass types using photosynthesis is cliche - grass types are great - but that pokemon with wildly different designs can have some common threads. Upon review though, I was...
