- Your nickname: Ket/Ketsu
- Your Psychic-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Ralts
- Reason for joining the club: Psychic is my favourite type and it has been so since I first played Sapphire all those years ago and I always use one in every game. It also helps that Gardevoir, my favourite Pokemon was always a Psychic type! That being said, the main reason I want to join is so that I can socialize and have fun with everyone while enjoying Psychic types. In summary, good friends, good conversation, good fun xD


Which Psychic Type which currently does not have a Mega Evolution do you want/needs a Mega Evolution?
Which Psychic Pokemon which has a Mega Evolution do you think did not need one?
I'd love to see A Mega-Mr. Mime. Sounds like a scary thought but hey, I think it'd be really cool xD As to who doesn't need one, I'd have to say Mewtwo. Mewtwo is cool and I love Mewtwo Y but it was already so overpowered that a mega evolution seems a little too much.

Thanks for reading and have an awesome day!
Welcome and thank you very much for joining this club. ;)
I like your joining reason. Make sure to stay active then, as our club has a lot of topics to talk about!
You are also free to answer the topics we've talked about before. :)

A fellow Psychic-type Club member, Gothet has been playing a mono-type challenge lately. So he inspired me to start an event for our Psychic-type Club.~ What do you say?

Thank you for accepting me and welcoming me so warmly! I hope to get to know everyone a lot better as time flies by ^.^

As for the idea of an event, yeah, definitely! It'll be fun xD

---------------- I'll do the Kadabra Controversy -------------------

Do you really think Kadabra is based on the aforementioned self proclaim-psychic?
I doubt it. A company as big as Nintendo is/was probably wouldn't risk creating something so easily noticed.

Do you think the symbol on Kadabra's abdomen is a representative of Nazi Germany?
Again, I doubt it. People need to realize that sometimes, it's just a star and a few lines.

The article mentions Kadabra still evolves through trading even if it's equipped with Everstone*, is it really a coincidence?
I don't think it was a mistake. I believe GameFreak/Nintendo wanted to do as much as they could to put and end to it and so they did the best they could without removing him completely.

Do you think it was a wise decision to not feature Kadabra in any printed materials*? Why?
Well, yes. The reason is the same as it is for the previous question. They had to end it as soon as they could before it inflated enough to affect the franchise as a whole. After all, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Following the previous question, Abra gained a special permission to directly evolve into Alakazam in TCG*. Eventually the Abra line seems to have vanished from the TCG*. Do you think that's too much? Or was it a correct move from Nintendo*?
Was it the correct move? No. I feel that if they gave Abra the ability to evolve into Alakazam every card, it would be okay. However, was it the necessary move? Yes. The sad truth it, society loves drama and controversy. If it were allowed to continue, it would have blown up so much that they'd have to pay millions in lawsuits/even cancel the franchise (probably not but the risk was not worth running).

While Jynx received a color change, Kadabra's design remained untouched. Was it fair?
This is a question I'll answer with personal taste in mind. The new Jinx looks a lot better than the old one did so yes. Purple fits for some reason.

Which Pokémon between Jynx and Kadabra, has the worse controversy in your opinion? Did they deserve the 'punishment' they received?
Kadabra definitely has the worse one. Jynx's controversy is understandable and easily fixed. Kadabra's, on the other hand, was a lot more coincidental and had a wider effect on the game (the removal of the entire Abra line from the TCG!). Jynx's wasn't a punishment but the change was fair and therefore, yes, she deserved it. Kadabra's punishment was a bit overboard and not entirely fair but somewhat necessary anyway.

Phew! That was actually pretty fun! ^.^ Might do Jynx next xD

Ah this nearly skipped my mind!
I would like to applaud Mewtwolover for voting our Psychic-type Club as Club of The Month, because of that one vote our Club is officially The Club of the month.

Dragoz and Gothet please explain for the lack of your votes. <<< Just completely kidding!~ {XD}

But yeah, thanks again for supporting and making this club active! This club wouldn't be the same without any of you!
Did not know there was such a thing. But yay Psychic Type is Club of the Month. :)

Welcome Stest12. It is nice to see I am not the only one in the club whose favourite Pokemon is Gardevoir. :)

Now onto the question

What would the games be like without Psychic Type?

Fighting-type would be overpowered with no weaknesses until Gen 6 and people wouldn't mention how Psychic was so broken in Gen 1.

I think however that a few Psychic Type Pokemon would still be in the games though with different types

Gardevoir Line - Grass/Fairy
Jynx line - Ice/Normal
Gothitelle line - Dark
Solosis Line and Mr Mime - Normal
Solrock and Lunatone - Rock

No Psychic-types would mean a big drop in Legends though. No Mewtwo or Mew, No Azelf, Mesquit, or Uxie, no Cresselia or Jirachi and No Victini.

No Sabrina either, in short the games would be less fun without Psychic Type.

A Psychic Type Monotype? In Alpha Sapphire that gives access to Gardevoir, Girafarig, Wobbuffet, Lunatone, Alakazam and Grumpig...That's not a bad team.
(Fairy Type Monotype gave me a team of 4 to take on Steven)

Wooohooo Gardevoir!

Also, I'm unsure whether discussing answers to topics is allowed but Gothitelle, to me at least, seems more of a Ghost type, especially with Shadow tag now and Gardevoir would be so bad as a Grass type xD

Furthermore, little note, Fighting is also weak to Flying so it wouldn't be weakness-less till gen VI ^.^

I forgot that Gallade is available as well but you don't get a Dawn Stone until near the end of the game.

I can see Gothitelle as a Ghost-type. It is the Astral Body Pokemon and seems to be somewhat ethereal.

On the original Sapphire I thought Ralts was a Grass-type, the Hoenn region's Oddish and ignored it as my starter was a Treecko. I used Ralts in my Emerald and other games however.

Fighting is indeed weak to flying type, I blame my forgetting that on Fighting being one of my least used types.

Actually, in X/Y you get it in Route 3 after you get Surf but in OR/AS it's in Victory Road and it's annoying carrying Kirlia till then xD Even so, OR/AS is pretty slow in terms of levels (you end up with Pokemon in the early to mid 50s range) as opposed to X/Y (where they to early 70s) so it has less of an effect xD But that's why I went with Gardevoir in OR/AS since you get the Mega Stone right after Groudon/Kyogre while in X/Y it's in the post game (same goes for Gallade's Mega stone in OR/AS)!

I usually like running a Pokemon that can learn good fighting moves (if not a straight up fighting type) to deal with Normal types but I probably won't in the future since Normal types aren't all that common anymore >.<

I think I imported my White 2 Hidden Ability Gallade for my X run and didn't use in Alpha Sapphire. Getting Gardevoirite before the Elite 4 was a nice touch and made sense in the story. Getting it post-game in X made sense as well since Gardevoir is the Champion's Pokémon.

Ralts and Kirlia are weak until they reach their final forms but Gardevoir/Gallade is a reward for those who persevere with the feeling Pokemon.

Discussing responses to the topic is more than welcomed; in fact hugely encourage! I would appreciate it a lot if the members can engage in real discussion, rather than simply replying the topic.

Currently our most active members here in Psychic Club are (not in particular order) Mewtwolover, Dragoz and last but never least is the second member who welcomed you, Gothet.~

Thanks for the feed back on the event. Let's see if Mewtwolover and Dragoz are fine with the mono-type challenge event as well!

Even if Kadabra is truly based or inspired by the self-proclaim psycho uh I mean psychic. If it's anything it's an honor. If I were the guy I would be proud or even make a collab or something! {XD}

Yep, obviously those 'lightning bolts' are scratch marks! Hahaha! {XD}

Yeah, they can't completely get rid of Kadabra due to a potential backlash from the fandom and as well as franchise consistency. There I believe that's what they gotta do to minimize Kadabra's appearance. Though I have to note that Kadabra is still part of the Hoenn Pokédex and the Sinnoh Pokédex, despite they had the chance to write-off the Abra line. They even gave Alakazam a Mega Evolution, though this can be argued as it's a Mega Evolution for Alakazam not Kadabra.~

While it was unfortunate for Kababra it won't be featured in any franchise items and imprinted items, it's logical and wise on a business perspective to do so. Fortunately the Abra line is already popular and definitely a not forgettable Pokémon! :')

I am so agreeing with your point on TCG. They could simply erased Kadabra from TCG and make Abra evolve directly into an Alakazam, but eliminating the whole Abra line is a bit too much, imo.

Just imagine a Kadabra with no star and lightning bolt, it would feel like it's missing something. I'm not sure about changing the symbols though!

It's interesting how you noted as Kadabra's as the one with worse controversy, while the majority points toward Jynx. That is not to say you are absolutely wrong nor they are right. It's just opinions and personal perception. :) I agree that Kadabra's punishment was too heavy and unnecessary as its evolutionary relatives are affected.

Thanks! We're trying to be innovative yet nothing too weird. We need to keep up the discussion and people's interests.~

snip
Oi Gothet, I love the Ralts line as well! >3< Hahaha! {XD}

Hahaha, correct! ;) Fighting-types and the Gastly line would be running amok without our presence in Generation I! :P

I love how you noted some Pokémon if there are no Psychic-types.~ Why not Ghost or Dark for Jynx? :P

Cresselia would be a second Normal-type legendary, and then possibly retconned as a Fairy-type in Gen VI! x'D

Sabrina would be levitating with the Flying-types instead! {XD}

No worries, it's not limited to Alpha Sapphire!~

Putting up topic is a great way to not only keep people active and interested but also to get to know each other better through friendly discussion! Also, it's pretty darned (is this an okay word here? :o) fun too so no complaints whatsoever xD

Cresselia as a Fairy type would make all the sense in the world. It'll also reverse the Darkrai being supereffective against her thing. Plus, it makes more sense. I think Fairy types represent the "light" better than Psychic types do. Psychic/Fairy would be perfect (Darkrai should be Dark/Ghost too >.<)

Also, as an added topic, what does everyone think of Gardevoir (the entire Ralts line including Gallade) being in the Amorphous egg group with Pokemon like Gengar (whoel line), Grimer/Muk, Koffing/Weezing and all the other blob-y, gas-y, weird Pokemon instead of the Human egg group?

Hello, Ket! Glad to see more members coming to our club. Based on the amount of Ralts line's lover here, it seems I was wrong to think that Alakazam was the "main" Psychic pokemon. I mean, kinda off-topic again, I always have one pokemon that defines the whole type, like Steelix for Steel-types, Weezing for Poison-types, Pinsir for Bug-types, etc.
Anyways, I agree with the monotype challenge, but I don't have the Gen VI games ;-;

Since the most I've tried in breeding is having two Wingulls make a third(which was probably over 3 years ago), I never noticed this at all. After a small minute of research, I find it even stranger how some pokemons get to be in two egg groups, but the Ralts line is purely in Amorphous. It does make me wonder why, and I don't have a close guess.

Working on a fic here! Tell me what you think!

I actually see the Abra line as a Psychic-type representative/mascot (whichever term you prefer) as well. I'm also surprised with the amount of faves towards her. I swear someone's going to call the whole Ralts line, particularly [Mega] Gardevoir as overrated pretty soon. :S

No worries, it's not limited to Gen VI games. We can all decide which games we're going to play soon.~ Has anyone seen Mewtwolover? Just kidding, I'm sure he's gonna show up soon.

New topic:
What does everyone think of Gardevoir being in the Amorphous Egg Group instead of the Human-like Egg Group?
Wow that's our 15th topic already! Hurray!

Spoiler: My response to the topic
It's a bit weird to be honest. It's slightly understandable for Ralts, But difficult with Kirlia and its evolutions. As Dragoz pointed out, some Pokémon have the privilege of dual-Egg Groups. However, the Ralts line isn't. I couldn't even make an excuse at this point.


Things to discuss:

That would be a fun way for everyone to come together and share experiences. However, I don't think it should be limited to a single game/generation since there's only so many good Psychic Pokemon available and therefore most people would end up using some Pokemon a lot (i.e, a lot of repetition), not to mention not everyone has the newer games! I sorta want to do it with a ROM hack since this forum is the premier place for those so it'll be a little exclusive to this forum and therefore this club (can't deny the existence of clubs in other forums!).

I'm also going to try to answer my own topic xD

What does everyone think of Gardevoir being in the Amorphous Egg Group instead of the Human-like Egg Group?
Spoiler:
Well, the theory is that in the original games (RSE), Gardevoir's legs are not seen. I believe it was assumed to be floating without legs which would qualify her into the Amorphous group since most of that group is leg-less and/or floating. Even so, she should still be in at least two egg groups, the other being Human, especially now that her legs can be seen clearly in both mega and normal forms during attacks. Also, the manga versions of Gardevoir show her legs (in the new XY manga, at least) and I'd post a panel but I don't know if it's okay xD All in all, GF/Nintendo should switch her over but I can see how it would mess up compatibility newer generations will have with previous generations. Still, it's rather disappointing. Gardevoir's sort of the only unarguably feminine humanoid Pokemon...

But Jynx doesn't have a pair of legs, according to game standards. :( It's just a hollow under her dress.

That's a good point, the limits of available Psychic-type isn't good, particularly in Kanto-based and Sinnoh based games where Psychic-types are nearly scarce. I personally prefer a Gen V game and we mix all the Psychic Pokémon from the National Pokédex, that requires trading or cheating, a discussion that is forbidden here in PokéCommunity.

Let's see:
  • Kanto (FrLg/RBGY) - Abra line, Jynx, Mr. Mime, Exeggcute line, Drowzee line, Slowpoke line, Starmie, Mewtwo [post-E4 for Gen I, post Sevii Island for Gen III]
  • Johto and Kanto (HGSS/GSC) - Abra line, Mr. Mime [post E4 at Kanto], Exeggcute line, Drowzee line, Slowpoke line, Starmie, Jynx, Wobbuffet, Girafarig, Natu line, Espeon, Unown (LOL)
  • Hoenn (RSE) - Ralts line, Baltoy line, Abra line, Starmie, Beldum line [post E4], Chimecho, Meditite, Solrock, Lunatone, Wynaut line, Spoink line, Natu line, [email protected] [post-e4]
  • Sinnoh (Pt) - Abra line, Mime Jr. line, Bronzor line, Chingling line, Espeon, Meditite line, Girafarig, Unown, Lake Trio, Ralts line, Cresselia [post e4]
  • Unova (B2W2) - Solosis line, Gothorita line, Beldum line, Woobat line, Munna line, Espeon, Siglyph, Baltoy line, Solrock, Lunatone, Spoink line, Starmie, Bronzor line.

But let's listen to what everyone has to say and we'll follow the majority. :D

Well, after all that controversy, maybe they didn't want to add to it? xD In all seriousness though, Jynx not having legs is new to me and it's pretty much stumped my theory xD

I'd like B2/W2 since you can get a ton of Pokemon from Gen I till Gen V plus NDS emulation is pretty solid (actually great) now so almost everyone should be fine playing it! :D
And a side note, you get get Ralt's line in B2/W2, it's a trade in Nimbasa city (it takes a day since you have to wait to call someone through the XTransceiver thingy) and it's obtainable through the Dream Radar (Nimbasa method is easier but if you want Telepathy with it xD).

Cresselia as a Fairy Type makes too much sense and considering how big a deal the games made of Sabrina squashing the Fighting Gym, Sabrina perhaps should have been an Elite 4 member instead of Bruno. (Not to mention how strong Psychic Type was in Gen 1)

Gardevoir being in the Amorphous group makes more sense than it seems at first. It is said to be based on a Guardian Angel (Which can take any shape) or according to Bulbapedia ghosts that refuse to leave this world.

I'd say Gardevoir is the most well-known non-legendary Psychic Pokemon now as it has been a Champions Signature Pokemon and has gone from a nothing Psychic Type to one of the most known Pokemon.

Alakazam is cool but outside of being Sabrina's Pokemon it has had little use in the games story. Also it is only obtainable by trading, something that unfortunately not everyone can do.

For the Monotype Challenge I say Gen 5 as the choice of Psychic Types is reasonable and each user can decide on if they are playing the first games or the sequel. (White 2 is my favourite Pokémon game and Sabrina is in it)

The only issue with Gen 5 is the Ralts line is not accessible until after the Hall of Fame following a long-winded side quest.

(Maybe we can make a rule saying we could import Ralts in as our starter) :)

It's true a Guardian Angel can assume any shape but it sticks to a shape one assumed right? Other Pokemon in the Amorphous group can change shape at will whereas Gardevoir cannot. It's not shown in the games/anime/manga but pretty much everything in that egg group is either a gas, a slime or a possessed object. All of which can alter their shape/change the object possessed. That's pretty much why they're in the Amorphous group xD The only other Pokemon that is in that group who doesn't belong in it is Elektross...

I think the reason Gardevoir is better...advertised?... is because it evolves from Kirlia through leveling (at a pretty low level too!) and so it takes a lot less effort than it does to evolve Kadabra. The new typing just made her better.

I figured if Gen V was chosen, options like Dream Radar and the likes would be allowed since it's a completely legit way of obtaining Pokemon...

Hahaha, didn't mean to break your theory. :P But yeah, Jynx's like a shadow or something like that -- Think think the likes if Gengar and Duskull.

Yeah B2W2 so far is the one with promising amount of available Psychic-Pokémon. If that is not available, maybe we can do a Psychic mono with Drayano's B2W2 hacks, which offers challenges and all 649 Pokémon are available as well.~ Just a warning for all Psychic-Club members: Do NOT ask for roms in any section, it is a violation of PokéCommunity global rules.

Hmm on the other hand, if there's a Psychic-type Elite Four, that person would be a real and true terror. Their team would be composed of Exeggutor, Alakazam, Hypno, Mr. Mime and Kadabra.

Gothet sums it perfectly well on Gardevoir, she was from almost nothing to an awesome thing now. Gardevoir officially out shadows Alakazam now.

If there was a Psychic type elite four? O.o But but...there are three! Will from Kanto/Johto, Lucian from Sinnoh and Caitlin from Unova... Caitlin in B2/W2's Challenge mode had an Alakazam, Metagross, Gallade, Reuniclus, Gothitelle and a Munna (I think) so that's pretty tough to beat (especially that Metagross with the Dark/Ghost resistances) xD

Gardevoir probably should be in the 'Humanlike' egg group but Game Freak likely did not bank on the Embrace Pokemon becoming as popular as it did. Indeed it could be said the Gothitelle line is an Expy of the Gardevoir line.

Not sure I'd feel comfortable playing a hack although it should be an option for those who don't have the game. If we go ahead with B2/W2 I plan to play using regular Monotype rules. (Having Black 2 exclusive Gothita as my starter).

Also the Unova Elite Four will be a challenge and the Champion isn't a walk in the park either.

Does it matter if there's more than two? ~_~
I recall there are three Dragon-type Elites? Let's not forget we're talking about Gen I here. :) A Generation that was dominated by Ice and Psychic. Dragon-types weren't that big back in the day, it was only consisted by the Dratini line. {XD}

I'm making my own set of rules, as soon as Mewtwolover has decided to participate or not and after we have reacched a decision on which game to play. We can not over lap with Azazel's Monotype Challenge.~

Oh, you meant in Gen I xD I thought you meant overall which surprised me quite a bit xD My bad, sometimes my attention span abandons me completely. But yeah, Lance was a pretty weird elite four member with just Dragonite as a dragon type xD

I suggest using those hacks because all 649 pokémon are available in them so we would have more options for making team.


What does everyone think of Gardevoir being in the Amorphous Egg Group instead of the Human-like Egg Group?
IMO that doesn't matter, it fits Amorphous Egg Group as well as Human-like Egg Group.

I agree completely! It'll result in more diverse teams plus the ability to evolve Kadabra without trading (I think?). Also, the hacks have an increased difficulty so that will add to the challenge and make it a tad bit more interesting/fun ^.^

Thanks a lot for participating! ^_^

That is the very reason why I suggested Drayano's hack as all Psychic Pokémon from Gen I to Gen V is available. The main point is we want to have as much variety as we can, while B2W2 undeniably has a lot of diversity, it has still limited options (for example like the lack of Ralts line, Gardy :P *tempting him with the Ralts line*).~ I personally dislike it if we all ended up having similar teams. {XD}

Here's the link to Drayano's hack: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=290429

Ok. Still not sure I feel comfortable using a hack particularly if we are going for Gen 5 since I have the games. On Black and White 2 I think the only Psychic Types I won't be able to get are Mewtwo, Latios, Event Pokemon and Mr Mime which still gives me a lot of options for team building.

I won't be using the hack but if I import a Ralts into White 2 that should be fine. Right? And I am able to evolve Kadabra as I have 2 DSs.
