Since when ''Phantom Force'' got Restricted to only legendary !
Dude , you mix ''Shadow Force'' with ''Phantom Force''.

Ah, thanks for catching that for me. I haven't really gotten that far into the 6th gen games, so I didn't realize they added a variation of the move. Since that's the case, I'd have no problem with Greninja being able to use it.

I really think Greninja should know Teleport ! Its a ninja after all .
Magmer and Electrobuzz also Learn Teleport despite having connection to Teleporting.
I also wish there was a Dark Type attack called ''Night Saver'' Where The User gather Dark Power to form a sword .

Not getting Fling for a STAB attack is unusual, yeah, but its signature move, Water Shuriken, is meant to resemble ninjas that throw stars, so I guess that's what goes off ninja assaults for it. Too bad that move doesn't have very high power, and its Speed is more than enough to not need the going first (except against paralysis and Choice Scarf foes).

Ninjas aren't associated with swords though, are they? Rather poison :) I guess Greninja's lookalike, that fighting/poison 4th gen toad, takes care of that part though.

Nope, I don't think they are; those are probably samurai. Speaking of which, it would've been cool if there were some Pokémon based off them! I suppose there's Samurott (spelling?), but it doesn't exactly resemble any human, per se, so, to me, it doesn't exactly count.

That sounds nice! I suppose it would be a physical move, wouldn't it? What effect would it be having?

Actually, ninjas do use swords. Look at Snake Eyes and Shadow Storm from G.I. Joe and Ryu from Ninja Gaiden as examples. Let's not forget Greninja creating swords out of water in Smash.

Question : Why doesn't Pokemon game ever has a 2D Animated Opening ???
Like this Game Opening-

Off course , They use sword ! However their sword/Katana is smaller then a Katana used by a Samurai.
Also Real Ninja's mainly use Gun power for tricks which made people believe that Ninja has magic power.
I saw it on a Japanese Documentary.

Good question, but I'm not sure. Well, I suppose main-series games are handheld, so when people see animated opening and whatnot, their expectation would be raised sort of high? If they were for home-console, though, then I suppose it wouldn't have been much of an issue, as they could always have their graphics and whatnot resemble their opening.

But Yo-kai Watch is a 3DS game like Pokemon !
So ''Handheld'' should not the be reason for no Animated opening.
Man , I wish I could see an 2D Animated opening in the Pokemon game with a catchy song.
I mean , Doesn't ''Yo-kai Watch'' game opening make you wanna Dance ???

Maybe because Pokémon nowadays is a word-wide phenomena and needs to appeal to a less specific audience than a Japanese anime-loving one.

o3o hur hur hur, looks like somebody made a point.

The openings have varied wildly to me. I thought Sapphire and Ruby's was questionable. Platinum's was awesome. Black and white featured those two girls who showed up, like, once?

Lots of thoughts here...

One of the reasons I don't think we'd see an opening animation like that to a Pokemon game is because it would be a waste of resources. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be a neat idea, but using Black/White as an example- it had a cool intro to it, and while I really liked it, I don't think I watched it more than once or twice.

If they had to do an intro like that though, I wouldn't mind them taking clips from another animated trailer like Black 2/White 2 had, since they wouldn't be going out of their way to create something new that people will probably just skip over.

Speaking as a lover of JRPGs who enjoys animated openings, I feel animated openings do not fit the Pokemon games at all. Personally, I think the way they currently do the intros. for the games is pretty neat and well done; why fix something that isn't broken? Additionally, how often do people watch the full openings? Once, twice, maybe three times. I doubt there are many who would watch it every single time, so what's the point in making an animated opening that will be skipped each time?

That being said, I could see them taking clips from promos like Brendino stated, but other than that I really can't see animated openings for the games.

If the music was really good, I could probably watch it several more times :3

So who here knows anyone who was at the Pokémon Symphony today? Reading Marriland's tweets had me super envious. He was even credited himself!

Ahhhh, I wish I could go to one of those concerts! I listened to some of the previews, and it sounds amazing! I got goosebumps and teared up, just from these synthetic re-creations; imagine the real thing! I don't personally know anyone who attended it or even let on that they know about it. If one comes around the Denver area in the next couple of years, I'll have to try to get a ticket. Maybe I can finally meet other fans in real life. :D

I don't believe I know what Pokémon Symphony is, sadly. Could you explain what it is, if you're able?
Pokémon Symphonic Evolutions is an official live orchestra for Pokémon music! You can find some information on it here.

Yeah, to meet some people you could really nerd out about pokémon with irl... I have yet to do that, actually. Maybe that's why I play the games so little these days; I don't have anyone near me who does anymore, not even casually. Despite being on a pokémon forum every day :p

A couple of my friends are into Pokémon, but they haven't played it in a very long time. I'm sure they don't follow the anime anymore, either. Sadly, I don't, either, but am planning to start watching again pretty soon.

One of them might get back into it in near future, hopefully, as Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are releasing. Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were her most favorite Pokémon games, and I've heard her mention something about their remakes in the past. If she does get ORAS, then that would be great; I'd be talking to her about it all the time!

My friends are all into pokemon, but X/Y took us all the longest to get through. I guess it was a bit more easy despite the travel time from town to town. It was really nice to have local friends to compete with along with online people
