Watch out for some terribly old quoted posts.
What's your favorite Pokeball?
I'm sticking with the classic red-and-white Pokéball. It's the only Pokéball I'm ever using, aside from Ultraballs for legendary Pokémon and an occasional Masterball. The design is simple and gives me a nostalgic feeling (and I'm to stingy to spend more money if it's not needed).
What about you guys, do you have a favorite shiny?
Shinys you hate?
Shiny Wingull, Shiny Pelliper, Shiny Zubat, Spinda, Dewgong are all pretty bad mostly cause of the green on wingull and zubat. BUT Shiny Espeon is awesome no matter what people think :D
Yeah, I agree on those. That hue of green is disgusting.
My least favorites are those that don't change as much. Garchomp is the master here, but there's others as well, like Joltik. Here's the shiny:
I don't think I've ever even used Magnezone in any of my playthroughs. Never been a fan of three magnets glued to each other that evolve into a UFO, I guess.
Magnezone feels like people wanted to make its steel type part more clear. I'm not really a fan of it either, my favorite in the line is Magnemite. It's so cute! Beep!
Whoa, it seems I've missed quite a lot over the past few days! But anyway, does anyone here watch the Pokémon movies? If so, how do you think of them?
You haven't missed as much as I did, haha.
But yeah, I have watched the Pokémon movies, or at least most of them up to
Arceus and the jewel of life. I do like the concept, but the story lines feel like they're globally the same, which makes them a little boring. My favorites are Lugia's and Celebi's.
Also we had trainers with legendary pokémon in the Battle Frontier, so nothing new here. Hell, the first Frontier Brain Ash fights had an Articuno so yeah.
Not really weird, legendary Pokémon were very common in later rounds of the Battle Frontier in the games. While I wasn't using them myself, I felt a bit underpowered. In the Battle Factory, my favorite facility, on the other hand, I was regularly sweeping my opponents with Registeel, Latias and Latios.
But at the same time, if he won every League then people would complain about him being so mary sue(I can't bring myself to call him gary stu XD) and then he'd still look kinda bad. Maybe if they needed character development for another permanent character then they could win some, ie Ash wins Kanto and Johto, then loses Hoenn's League to May(if she had been a battler of course) and she stays with him. It always seemed pointless to me to have the characters stay for only a little while then leave then come back for like 3 episodes in the next region. Like, why would you have us get attached to characters that we saw go through personal development if only one will be seen later anyways? It just rubbed me the wrong way....
I don't see a problem with losing. If a victory would be certain each time, there's not much of a point in watching the League episodes. The battles would be boring if you already know that nearing loss will be turned to a win in the end.
