I bet those muscles are gigantic when he flexes

I support Psycho Boost over Skill swap :P

OK SO GUYS OFF TOPIC BUT I noticed my jeans say 'Flare' on the tag and I just laughed a little about that but then I remembered that I was wearing these jeans all the way back on April 1st to look nice for my mom's friend who was flying in from Ireland(don't ask me how i got to that memory I don't even know) so now I feel like I just pranked myself from months ago. :/
Ok continue on with the boosting psychos and swapping skills I'm done :3

I would normally boo but im trying this thing called being "friendly"

xD actually i just like to boo but i wont do it this time i pinkie swears! (crosses fingers) :)

Arrow_Riddari September 21st, 2015 5:52 AM

So I am very curious about this... If someone was NOT a ghost and they yelled 'boo', what would happen? Would he/she get banned from the thread [and is that possible]? Or would everyone hate on him/her? Or would everyone start from 1 and realize later that the person was not a ghost?

I'm actually guilty of doing this (especially in this thread) when I do indeed like someone's response, but have nothing to add to the discussion. :P

Nah, people actually can't get banned from threads as far as I know (I believe they can only get banned from the site). However, something like this wouldn't be considered banworthy, or even hateworthy, as the purpose of this thread is simply to have a fun conversation (which is typically about Pokémon). The number isn't all that relevant to the thread, other than being an excuse to call this a "game."

However, if someone intentionally pretends to be a ghost, they'll probably get a warning, but please note that some people might innocently BOO when they're not a ghost if they haven't been here in a while, and are unaware that they lost their ghost status due to someone reaching 100 or so. Hope that helps! :)

I've always seen Blastoise as sort of a firefighter Pokemon, honestly. But that might only be due to that one episode of the anime with the Wartortle Firefighting Squad :P

Cathy!

And yeah, Blastoise basically has water cannons, which make it pretty much a firefighter. But what about a gardening hose like Pokémon? I think it could work.

Vaporeon could be seen as based on merpeople and Aerodactyl is pretty Gargoyle like. But there's some really good ideas in here. I really want to see a psychic/flying peacock, psychic because of all the eyes on its tail feathers.

While bug/dragon would be perfect for a dragonfly, I'm not sure how useful the type would be for Yanmega. Losing the flying type removes the STAB on Air Slash would be a real bummer and I don't think it can learn any dragon type moves at all. (Hopefully they'll be changing that.)

So I have no idea how to draw Yanmega and was gunna outline it from memory but decided that Megas don't have to look EXACTLY like the original. XD

It's awesome, Flare! I love it. I really want to have that bug/flying Pokémon now. On that note, there's nothing revealed about a seventh generation yet, is there?

Now that Pokémon General and Gaming Central have lost their DCC threads a while ago, this thread actually got more relevance than it used to have (not that it changed anything here really). The ghosting and emblems are a fun addition, which make it more exciting than a regular chat. (But I'm doubting if I'll ever get that 150 emblem.) To be honest I lost track of the ghosts too. According to the opening post, I am a Chandelure, but that hasn't been updated for a month and I'm not sure if someone has reached 100 since, so I'm just keeping quiet.

What are we talking about again?

Question for everyone who is your top 5 female characters whether it be from the anime or the games?

Hikamaru September 21st, 2015 7:16 PM

29

Dawn, Serena, May, Rosa, Hilda

That's as far as the protagonists go, but I also love Bianca, Misty, Shauntal, Elesa and Valerie if you want to name some other characters. I mainly love characters that are cute or have a good design.

Arrow_Riddari September 21st, 2015 11:22 PM

I don't think I can make a top five, but I'm sure it would at least contain Flannery, Cynthia and Dawn.
I feel like I've said this a lot of times already, but I love the uncertainty in Flannery's character. Where most Gym Leaders are experienced and very confident about their skills, she's the complete opposite, but nothing easier to beat.
Cynthia is, like most Champions, a recurring character in DPPt's story line, which they should do more often to regular Gym Leader and Elite Four members too.
Dawn has a great design, probably the best of all female protagonists and I liked her character in the anime. She's one of the only characters that actually has some good character development during the story. (Although I might be wrong though, I haven't watched everything.)

I never thought of that, but a Psychic-type peacock does sound awesome! Maybe you could propose that in the PokéName game. :D

Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind seeing a Fountain Pokémon, a Godzilla Squirrel Pokémon, or even a Flying-Desert-Mouse Pokémon... Like, I would really wanna see those. xD

Since I care more about the anime, five sounds like a big number to me, haha. For now, I'll just say my top three are Iris, Serena, and Dawn (in that order).

Serena does too! So do a few other characters, but you're right about Dawn :D

Arrow_Riddari September 22nd, 2015 8:57 AM

Oh yeah, Cynthia is my fave.

What are your top 5 male Pokemon characters?

Mine are: Red, Steven Stone, Blue, Gary, and [I just realized how hard this is] um Riley.

Laguna September 22nd, 2015 9:11 AM

My top 5 male pokémon charaters are Gary, Drew, Harley, Silver and Paul. I am not even kidding.

As for females, we have Dawn, anime May, Soledad, Zoey and Roxie just because she's metal as fuck.

KetsuekiR September 22nd, 2015 10:21 AM

34

Male's would have to be Steven, Gary, Brendan, Paul and I can't think of a fifth >~<
Female's would be Rosa, Hilda, Serena, Elesa and Cynthia.

Arrow_Riddari September 22nd, 2015 10:52 AM

Those are all interesting... I am changing Riley to N on my one though.

KetsuekiR September 22nd, 2015 11:09 AM

Oh yeah! N exists! Add him to mine too :P Don't even know/remember who Riley is xD

I was like omg hes gonna do it again

aura powers were the best i wish they did more with it

Meadow September 22nd, 2015 6:54 PM

44.

I'm going to sleep this time, but I'll just respond once more for Dedenne's sake. XD

I really liked how Aura powers appeared in both the AG movie and the DP series, because it showed a degree of consistency between them. :D

Arrow_Riddari September 22nd, 2015 7:12 PM

45

The use of Aura could make a very interesting Pokemon story...

The animated cartoons of Pokemon really annoy me at times. While I love Team Rocket, they have been doing the SAME thing since episode 1. How has Ash not been able to figure out their disguises yet? Of course, Ash's Pikachu. That little mouse has been through multiple regions and fought Legendary Pokemon... yet it loses to a new trainer with a level 5 Snivy *coughTripcough*. If anything, Pikachu's cry should have automatically fainted that Snivy out of fear.

Yeah, the anime annoys me at times. Who is with me/against me?

Dedenne1 September 23rd, 2015 2:08 AM

46

We all know the answer to every mystery in the anime is....

Ash is stupid. xD

(pikachu level 1000) idk it seems pikachu and ash just reset everytime haha

and revise you did it again :o

Never was a fan of ghost pokemon but always kept one at team X3 After all, how can you stop putting a Rotom in your team when you can? Superb...

Dedenne1 September 23rd, 2015 2:21 AM

Lol rotom i always used a dark type pokemon instead of a ghost type....cause theyre awesome :D

Arcean Warrior September 23rd, 2015 2:25 AM

If you've ever played Pokemon Dark Rising 2, then you'll know how annoying Rotoms are when you're fighting 2 Rotoms in a tag battle

Laguna September 23rd, 2015 4:33 AM

50

Hey look, I'm stealing the 50 post even though I'm already a ghost again.

I've never used Rotom, I don't really care much for most Gen 4 pokémon so yeah.

KetsuekiR September 23rd, 2015 4:48 AM

51

I've used Rotom plenty of times competitively and it's pretty amazing.

Arrow_Riddari September 23rd, 2015 4:54 AM

52

Noooooo I missed the 50!!!

As for Dedenne, I totally agree. Ash is stupid.

And to everyone else. I like Ghosts. And Rotom can be scary at times.

DyingWillFlareon September 23rd, 2015 4:58 AM

52. 53.

Ick. The Dark Rising games are fun but way to hard for me. I'd rather solo it with my starter in that game to make it easier, maybe catch another when he/she gets to level 100, cause I didn't make it very far in the first one. That game is so hard. >.<

Yeah Ash is pretty stupid lol. I didn't mind the show's resets as a kid, but they bug me now, I mean it makes sense for them to reset him since they wanna keep using Ash as their main character, and who would want to watch an anime where the main character can just ohko all the Gyms?

Btw has anyone ever had to replace a ds battery? My 3ds won't charge but acts like it's charging and will only play WHEN IT'S CHARGING, and looking into it it seems I need a new battery. Wanna know if anyone has any tips on best battery option/tips on how to do it/whether I should just send it in to Nintendo and ask for a new battery/etc.

Hello there, do you mind if I join this ghost game?

Honestly I wish they just let Ash go. They allow him to grow up and move on focusing on a new protagonist every season for each region. I would prefer that over them just resetting him every region. He stays stupid all the time and never gets any better but all the cool characters that people liked leave him so why is Ash still there?!

https://media.giphy.com/media/a667taV6lL2ne/giphy.gif

And I apologize I have never had to change a 3ds battery nor do I know how expensive they are. I'm afraid I can't help you there bud.

KetsuekiR September 23rd, 2015 5:35 AM

Well, I'm not sure if this has been asked already but what are your thoughts on pokemon super mystery dungeon?

KetsuekiR September 23rd, 2015 7:06 AM

GilliTheFabulous September 23rd, 2015 7:14 AM

58

Go check out Gates to Infinity or some even older ones like Explorers of Time/Darkness if you haven't already.

I have another question, how would you design a fairy type pokemon? Like, what would you base it off of?

I would base it off of this(except more pink):

Seiously everytime I find a site for SMD there's a reviews list and 99% of the reviews are about how much they hated GtI.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVED GATES TO INFINITY LIKE SERIOUSLY BEST STORYLINE the only problems were really that you couldn't get even half of Paradise filled in main game without making fields I didn't want and that the game was too short, other than that I loved it. Mysteriousity, no belly mechanic....

umm

wats with all the gti hate

I mean the plot was childish but in a good way, the characters were memorable, the graphics were epic(to me), the gameplay wasn't bad, and the game isn't bad, in fact quite good.

fight me

Arrow_Riddari September 23rd, 2015 8:30 PM

66

Graphics were pleasing. I was upset about the lack of Pokemon to choose from, no choice in gender, no personality quiz, limited Legendary Pokemon to fight, and the story wasn't as appealing as PMD Sky was.

KetsuekiR September 23rd, 2015 9:05 PM

I agree with you there. The older games had gender and that fabulous quiz that got removed for some reason. Remember when you could be Vulpix and Munchlax and many other mons instead of just the basic starters and pikachu(and axew)? I personally did not play much of Gates, I said something about it because I thought someone so excited for the new mystery dungeon should check out the old ones.

And I disagree with you on PMD sky. PMD sky has the SAME EXACT STORY as the games before it, Time and Darkness. And since I played those first, imagine how I felt when I bought sky.

Oh and also, 68

KetsuekiR September 23rd, 2015 9:54 PM

69

I'm definitely going to play Gates someday, no doubt about it. I'll just keep it for last :P

Arcean Warrior September 24th, 2015 12:14 AM

70 Still, Sky was much more amazing than Time/Darkness.
I, for one, played Sky before Time/Darkness and realized Time/Darkness had the exact same storyline and without The journey home recruits...and so on.

But anyway, they all had the same OST's. Temporal Tower, Primal Dialga, Chasm Cave, I don't want to say goodbye...

KetsuekiR September 24th, 2015 12:38 AM

71

You guys are hyping it up! I can't wait to start now! >~<

Dedenne1 September 24th, 2015 1:40 AM

72

PMD Sky firstly has some minor differences from darkness and time while those 2 are almost exactly alike especially in pokemon.

PMD Gates is an ok game it depends if your someone that doesnt like a challenge its not really hard in anyway and theres a limited amount of storyline id recommend trying it just not playing it again

BTW PMD TIME AND DARKNESS FTW

KetsuekiR September 24th, 2015 3:26 AM

73

So, what should I play first? Time, Darkness or Sky?

DyingWillFlareon September 24th, 2015 5:43 AM

74.

I think you should start with Red Rescue Team or Blue Rescue Team first, since those are the first haha. Then play Time or Darkness, because Sky does have a lot of extras but there are also a lot of extra stories to play from that everytime I play it makes it hard to focus on the main story because I wanna play this new story real fast. However if you can refrain yourself better then you should go for Sky lol. Then after that play Gates to Infinity, and depending on how long you play these Super Mystery Dunegon might be out.

KetsuekiR September 24th, 2015 6:49 AM

75

Give me some credit xD I played the originals :D So I guess I'll play according to the Time I have first and then maybe I'll look to the Sky for inspiration and then find the Gates to finally become a Super Saiyan?

alisaie September 24th, 2015 9:24 AM

They're rare, but it's an amazing Pokémon! Not every Pokémon can possess a washer or lawnmower. Which one of its shapes do you normally use?

Hiya!

While I don't think his character is bad, certainly when you keep in mind the series did a total character reset before moving to generation V, it would have been nice if they just started a new story with a new character instead of using the same character again but resetting the team. Ash's companions did get switched around over the generations and I'd love to see a new character develop themselves through the Pokémon world. (But it's not like the games have such different stories either, so maybe that's the reason.)

Isn't that what Pokémon is basically doing all the time? Main series has that too in the shape of Crystal, Emerald, etcetera.

Awww sorry. I started some of the Ash bad-talk thread because I don't like how the anime has gone down the drain [it is mostly a repeat of like previous generations like with Team Rocket schemes and Ash ONLY taking Pikachu on a journey... When is Ash ever going to win in a league or even get older?]. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Of course we want you around :)

Laguna September 24th, 2015 12:08 PM

Have you guys noticed how Ash always has an earlygame bird in every region? I think that's a testament to how lazy the writers are.

In Sinnoh it isn't even a big event, he just goes all "hey look another mediocre bird I'm gonna catch it"

alisaie September 24th, 2015 12:15 PM

Honestly if you don't actually watch the anime I don't think you should actually be saying anything. But that's just me. :/ I also don't need to be told the same thing (they need a new character, etc etc) every time I bring Ash up either. I don't mean to be rude or anything but it's just gotten really.... bothersome. I've heard it 293024 times now and while I respect your opinion I wish that people could respect mine a little without having to go one of those many talks that people whodon't like the anime go on. I've learned not to try to shove my opinion at others I wish people would do the same for me, really. @[email protected];

But wait, Ash doesn't reset with each new series - it only happened once, and that was at the start of Best Wishes. :O
(Leaving his old teams behind isn't the same thing as resetting his character, by the way.)

I'm pretty sure I wrote a long explanation about this before, but I'm too lazy to track it down. :/

It looks really promising, and I'm definitely excited for it! Unfortunately, I'm not even sure if I'll be able to play it, which is a huge shame. :(

I feel the same way! It's weird how I always miss these conversations about Ash when I'm gone for like a day... However, I'm too lazy to explain the same arguments more than once, haha.

But I agree with Lycan that we do want you around <3

83. Really revise 84. ^@ash

And I thought Paul released that Starly because he said it was a lower level than the others and that's why Ash took it? Of course it's been a while since I watched that episode. :T

@revise and ash I didn't mean to badmouth Ash I was just saying he doesn't seem the same in each season dang I gotta go read what I wrote again and see if I screwed up >.<U

Laguna September 24th, 2015 12:20 PM

That was a different Starly, Flare. He caught it before he met Paul I'm pretty sure.

You might be thinking of Paul's Chimchar.

DyingWillFlareon September 24th, 2015 12:23 PM

86.

No I know how he got the Chimchar from him, I just remembered Paul releasing a Starly because of that, and thought it was the same one. Thanks though.

He's not the same because he's growing. He's learning. The situations around him change how he acts and feels just like how we do depending on the situations and the group of friends we're in. And also because the writers focus on some aspects of Ash more than other aspects of himin each series. It's a good thing he's not the same. That would be bad. c: But no, it wasn't just you flare haha.

Unless Ash gets hit with an idiot ball and tries to fight Brawly with no strategy whatsoever. I really hated that episode.

And wait, is that...

But there have been times when he's entered without a stragety and have done really well as well. So that's not the best argument.

'Sides, his battle against Brawley ain't got nothing on his battle against Elesa.

Hikamaru September 24th, 2015 12:41 PM

I remember that first battle against Brawly where he thought Taillow was making Machop look easy but didn't notice every time it got knocked down and back up again was just Machop having great endurance, which led to Taillow getting defeated. Poor Treecko even got tired afterwards, unable to stand up to a newly-evolved Hariyama.

This was definitely noticeable at the end of Best Wishes when Iris and Cilan left him. You can tell from his expression that he felt sad, but he also managed to smile it off, because he was used to meeting and parting with his friends so many times.

The departures for AG and DP felt just a little generic for me (though not bad), but Ash's expression during BW's departure was really good, and it spoke volumes about how far he has come throughout the anime.

Maybe if Ash actually aged it would be more realistic...

By reset we mean he never talks about the past or past pokemon and he also doesnt age :P

Arrow_Riddari September 24th, 2015 2:37 PM

93

Ash never ages. I think he got blessed/cursed by some Legendary or something [imagine being a kid for all your life/eternity]. Or the Legendaries need a Chosen One who will be there for them eternally...



So I do like Ash [I never actually hated him, I just wish the producers would make him grow up a bit] and have watched the anime [up until Unova]. I think the thing that really made me stop was when Unova started, because Brock was taken out. I really enjoyed Brock's presence and found it amusing how he would flirt with every Jenny/Joy/other girl [and fail]. I was upset that he was taken out of the anime. I don't have anything against Cilan, it was just that I liked Brock better.

Dedenne1 September 24th, 2015 4:36 PM

94

I just think the show producers cant't have a 20 year old ash xD

I still watch the anime though its still pretty cool in my opinion and theyre actually making some cool stories this season :D

KetsuekiR September 24th, 2015 5:42 PM

I think it would be fine if they gave us an explanation as to why Ash won't age? Maybe his father was a Saiyan or something? :o

PageEmp September 24th, 2015 5:50 PM

I'm hoping in Gen 7 they will replace Ash with a cooler protag, I personally never really liked him much.

KetsuekiR September 24th, 2015 6:02 PM

Hard to think they would. They just really like Ash for some reason.

He still does, though. xD

In the third episode of AG, Ash had memories of Misty and Brock, and told May and Max that Brock used to cook for the two of them. Plus, Max also recognized Ash as one of the top 8 of the Johto League, which Ash acknowledged. And of course he remembers his Pokémon too! After May caught her Bulbasaur, Ash remembered his own Bulbasaur and even brought it back from Oak, just so it could meet up with May's Bulbasaur. And a lot of his Pokémon come back throughout AG as well, most notably after the Hoenn League ended, and during various instances of the Battle Frontier.

As for DP, there weren't as many references to the past, but Aipom from AG followed him to Sinnoh, and he brought back a bunch of his old Pokémon for the Sinnoh League. Even in BW, Ash remembers the times he spent in Sinnoh when Dawn joins the group, and later during the "Episode N" season, he remembers his Charizard and proceeds brings it back to him (with remastered flashbacks and everything)!

And XY isn't close to finishing, so there aren't too many references yet, but they still exist. During the aquarium episode (XY022), Ash sees a Piplup and says "the one I knew tended to get carried away, though," which can only be referring to Dawn's Piplup. In addition, Ash was already with Pansy at the beginning of the series, since she came with him at the end of BW. When they parted ways, Ash said "thank you for everything up until now," which basically implies he was referring to the past. xD

As for aging, it's not that he can't age - it's just that his age was retconned to being 10 again in BW, for the sake of simplifying things to present to a new audience. I say "retcon" because while his age was never directly confirmed in AG or DP, you can calculate his age by counting every single day that passed throughout the series. Of course, doing that would be completely impractical, so they just "overrode" that information with a simple retcon. And while it is true that they could've retconned him to be older, that was their own choice to make him 10.

By the way, I finally found that post which I was too lazy to dig up! :D It basically elaborates on why the writers decided to reset Ash's character.

100. Begin the cleansing. Not sure if I turn into a ghost at this point or not >~< If I do, it'd be Mega-Gengar for sure! :P

All in all, Pokemon needs a new protagonist :P We've had enough Ash! I mean, the guy's had over a decade of screen time! Let it go, Nintendo!

Meadow September 24th, 2015 6:37 PM

101.

Well, I personally don't think Ash is the problem. It's just that the anime has very simplistic writing, so even if we had a new protagonist, the anime would be almost essentially a repeat of the old formulas (with only a few new twists), assuming the same production team stays intact.

Now if we had more complex writing and Ash was still the protagonist, then the anime would still have a good chance of satisfying a lot more people.

At least, this is just my guess, anyway. xD

KetsuekiR September 24th, 2015 8:35 PM

Fair enough. I guess what the anime needs is a complete overhaul to revive it? It is pretty monotonous at the moment.

First two things aren't exactly true. But I don't feel like going too in depth but there have been plenty of call backs to previous series and such. Most recent one I can think of (as I haven't caught up on the anime) is Ash looking at Pikachu when he heard about Mega-Sceptile. It was subtle, but the expression the two gave they were definitely thinking of Ash's Sceptile at Oak's lab.

Also I'll go update the first post lmao.
