Now that it’s 2021 (or almost 2021 in certain parts of the world), let’s discuss Pokémon! Do you have any goals this year for the series? Like trying a certain challenge, watching the anime, finding a specific shiny, etc?

Not really goals, but there are a few ideas I'd like to try, like Rock monotype (because Rock is one of my three less used types so I think it would be interesting), or also "Animal" themed runs if possible (Bears, dinosaurs, etc.) Months ago I did a monkey-themed run with Rillaboom, Infernape, Primeape, Ambipom, Darmanitan and Oranguru in a fan-game and it was pretty fun.

I would like to soft reset enough to find a shiny legendary. It just requires so much patience and I always scum to the tedium and quit.

I have like 4 challenges I've been meaning to finish and a major project that might not even get finished this year.

And a few other challenges I've been meaning to start.

Outside of that, I should probably actually finish a playthrough of Sun, since I never actually got that far on it.

i realized shiny hunting wasn't for me when i tried to do it for the Johto starters and i got sooo bored by the 85th SR lol. if i have free time and motivation this year, i may actually wanna try and go for one of the easier shiny hunts. i remember seeing youtube videos from a hunter detailing some of those.
I would like to download an emulator and perhaps rom hacks.
broo advanced welcome to the rom hack gaming community :D don't hesitate to hmu if you need recommendations.

I would really just like to finally own a Switch and play Sword and Shield, they look so amazingly done.

Also, I want to go outside this summer and play GO more often, but it depends on COVID and how safe it is around here.

Mainly just beating Platinum. After that I've played at least one game of each region up to gen 7. I'm still on the fence if I should play a gen 8 game, though.

Try to complete the Poké Dex in some of the older games, or at least fill them up as much as possible

Replay Unova for the whatever'th time because it's full of life.

And I think I'll start reading the pokémon manga. Never tried it out. Oh, and the new anime too. It's been forever since I watched any Pokémon related stuff that's not video games.

Woah. All the best in this endeavour

-Try to finish the Pokedex in White 2 using the wifi trick. I need maybe 30 or 40 more Pokemon.
-Finally complete my playthrough of Emerald. I started it around 3 years ago and still haven't defeated the elite 4...
-Do a nuzlocke/challenge run of whatever game. I only did one once, and I lost at Burgh's gym...
-Get more shinies! My list is starting to get a bit long.
-idk watch more of the anime? I'll watch an episode or two every now and then, but maybe I can watch an entire season.

I think for me it's just picking up whatever new Pokemon games that come out. Maybe actually start watching Pokemon Journeys? But that's a huge maybe.

I'm hoping to finish some full-odds Shiny-hunts, especially Tyrogue and either a male or Gen. II Sneasel, and get back into drawing and making custom cards. I'm also keeping my eyes peeled for more things to add to my "RealDex" (I'm especially hoping to come across a Tersa Sphinx caterpillar to add as Dunsparce, it more closely resembling the Tsuchinoko than other hornworms in my range). And playing New Pokémon Snap, of course!

Live dex. Ever since I saw Went's when he came to visit that's been my ultimate goal.

I'm hoping to release a few more resources for Pokémon Essentials, and maybe finish my own fangame :S
I am confident in my ability to finish the resources I have in mind. As for the fangame, I have a hard time writing the story, so it's probably optimistic to expect a deadline this year ^^"

I have hit most of my shiny goals since it is super easy to get shinies now but I do have one goal I really want to hit! I want to beat Pokemon Platinum, I have never beaten a Sinnoh game. The furthest I have gotten is Fantina because the game just gets boring to me. I started a new Platinum playthrough a few days ago and, shocker, I am grinding to face Fantina and I am just so bored with the game again. I don't know if this point in the game is just a lull before it gets good but I just can't get past it.

I have never had this issue with Pokemon before (Gen 7 and 8 excluded) and Gen 4 is supposed to be amazing but I just can't drink the Kool-Aid, man.
