And now I want to draw a Wailord with a shitload of Joltic spilling out of its mouth.

... Maybe.

[up]For some reason that image just reminds me of one of the anime episodes where some dude was using a Pelipper that he claimed could use Flamethrower and Vine Whip (and other moves it can't learn normally) along with Water Gun, but then it turned out that he had stuffed his Pelipper's bill with smaller Pokemon (still in their Pokeballs when not in use), which would use whatever attack he called out, making it seem like Pelipper was naturally using those moves.

What I'm saying is, I imagined a Wailord firing a giant Thunder Bolt from its mouth when I read that post.

I think it's safe to assume Wailord's measurement is in length, not height. If it were that tall and still proportionally long it'd be just absurd.

The thing is apparently less dense than helium, it's already absurd

To be fair, it's supposed to be a blimp.

Also, GF was never good at scaling, really. A lot of Pokemon are way lighter than they should be, especially the more mineral-based Rock types.

I sure said that!

Does anybody know what makes your Pokémon fall asleep like this on Amie? It's not the same as when they're asleep when they faint or have a status condition because that way they fall asleep standing.

I've seen some of my Pokemon fall asleep like that when I try to play with them later at night... perhaps it's just past your Pokemon's bedtime.

I also recall that they generally do that if you interact with them while they're still stuck with a status condition.

With the N's Castle/Unova League stage in Smash 4, maybe they'll give Zoroark one more chance to make that money like Lucario's been doing.

... I thought Zoroark was confirmed to be a Pokéball Pokémon? Sakurai said that all Pokémon in Greninja's trailer were going to appear as Pokéball mons and Zoroark was there.

Hashil Since: Aug, 2010
#107468: Jul 31st 2014 at 8:40:25 AM

It's possible he meant that every Pokemon featured there would be in the game in some capacity, not strictly a Pokeball mon.

But this is Sakurai, so who knows?

Here's the post you're probably thinking of: He didn't say that they would only be Pokeball Pokemon, but he did show off Meloetta (who is a Pokeball Pokemon) in this post, so I can see where the confusion could come from.

...I kind of wish that instead of having its attacks bounce around, Meloetta should have been using Relic Song and if an opponent gets hit by it too much (or while at a high percentage), they fall asleep, and then Meloetta switches to its Pirouette Forme and tries to knock the sleeper out.

There you go!

I really hope Zoroark's in - I like its design a lot more than Lucario. Maybe not to the degree that I want Zorua and Zoroark showing up in every other thing, but enough that I wouldn't mind it getting a Mega and maybe another major character using it.

Huh. On the other hand it could mean that Zoroark may be playable... Or that it might just be a trophy. It can go either way.

I would much prefer to get Sceptile as another new playable Pokémon but I wouldn't really say I would hate the fact that Zoroark would be in.

Some dude just traded me a Diancie for a freaking Unown. It's probably haxxed and clond but who cares?

From Serebii:

Pokémon X & Y

It has been confirmed through an advert in Nat Geo magazine that two special events are coming to North America. These events are based on Mega Evolutions. First, from August 13th to September 17th, you will be able to download Heracross or Pinsir to your X & Y games over the Internet. In addition to that, if you go to Gamestop stores from August 18th to August 31st, you'll be able to receive a special serial code to download the Heracronite or Pinsirite Mega Stones. We'll provide full details on this event as it comes, including if it is in other regions.
