Pokémon General Thread

The only Kalos Pokemon that can Mega Evolve is Diancie, so they wouldn't be able to Mega Evolve their respective strongest Pokemon, but you could give Siebold's Gyarados, Drasna's Altaria, and Wikstrom's Scizor Mega Stones I guess. Malva is out of luck and would need a new Fire-type added to her team. Houndoom, most likely, though if you were feeling silly you could give her Blaziken.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Looking at their teams, I think that Malva would have one of the Mega Charizards since none of her known Pokemon can do it, Wikstrom would Mega Evolve his Scizor, Drasna could Mega Evolve her Altaria, and Siebold could have a Mega Gyarados. This is presuming that the Mega evolutions introduced in ORAS would be allowed, of course.

Edit: Houndoom is another good choice for Malva. That would fit with her being a part of Team Flare, because the Houndoom line is often used by their members.

Something I'd love to see out of a Kalos remake is a bunch of Megas for Kalos Pokemon. They didn't design any Megas for Kalos Pokemon originally because they didn't want to create Pokemon that seemed "unfinished" without their Megas. Which was a good move, that was a big problem we saw later in Galar with all of the Galar Pokemon that had G-Max forms.

But now that those Kalos Pokemon already exist, there's no reason not to give them Megas in a hypothetical remake.

Siebold - Mega Blastoise (Lysandre had first dibs on Mega Gyarados)
Drasna - Mega Altaria
Malva - Mega Houndoom
Wikstrom - Mega Scizor

I kinda have the opposite feeling. Sure, a couple G-Max Galar Pokemon could've used another stage instead of a G-Max form (Sandaconda, Drednaw, Flapple/Appletun) but for the most part, most of Galar's dex doesn't feel like their families are unfinished. Kalos, on the other hand, feels like its families are trying to compete with Johto for feeling unfinished. Furfrou, Aromatisse, Slurpuff, Heliolisk, Carbink, Gourgeist, the list goes on and of course YMMV.

If a remake doesn't give them Megas, a lot of Kalos' dex definitely need cross-gen evos.

Anyway here's Wolfey's video on how Terrasitlizaton might have saved the ice type.

Basically as he points out and realized in shower thought. Ice is great offensively (it hits flying, ground, and Dragon. Three of the best types in the game) but of course bad defensively.

The addition of a third typing thought that changes everything. On big example to start with:

Abomosnow: Decent stats, snow warning to set Hail immediately but awful against a bunch of stuff like Fire, rock, etc. Give it a water Terra type though. Bamn no fire weakness. We have a mon that can spam 100 accuracy Blizzards, and cover the other of it's weaknesses. And of course for the water weaknesses, we have grass typing to cover it.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

Water doesn't negate Abomasnow's rock weakness, and its Grass STAB already hits them super-effectively. Water also wouldn't completely remove its fire weakness.

huh? Terastylizing completely changes Abomasnow's types, it would do all those things

"There's not a girl alive who wouldn't be happy being called cute." ~Tamamo-no-Mae

Uh didn't the people who played the promo said you retain you original STAB? Even if you change?

It was mentioned here already?

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

Yes, you keep STAB. So Water-Tera Abomasnow would only be vulnerable to electric and grass, but would still be able to have stab on its ice and grass moves.

Yeah. Like the combinations you could play with...

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

iirc, Tera:

• Changes Pokemon to mono-whichever type is their Tera Type
• Gain STAB on new type
• Keep STAB on old types but not defensive matchups
• Buffs STAB to x2 if you Tera into a type you already have

Correct me if I got any of this wrong, but this is Tera as we know it atm. So a Water-Tera Abomasnow would take neutral damage to Rock instead of x2.

So Karn EX, a Digituber I watch did a collab with PragMajik to give Pokemon Armor evolutions

Mr. Rime is so dope he was really cool in the Leon vs Ash fight.

Irene’s comments in the Pokémon SV thread made me realize it sucks Eelectross missed out on the Dynamax fun, though I’m not sure how far it would have went competitively.

where's my massive huge tenticruel!

New theme music also a box

You’ve been able to Dynamax Tentacruel since the Isle of Armor expansion came out. I feel like this has come up before.

SoundCloud

First I'm hearing of it

New theme music also a box

It has been 2 years and 4 months. C'mon.

You'll have to forgive me I honestly I have a short attention span sometimes

New theme music also a box

Nah don't worry, my bad.

Tama Hero does her thing talking about the history of Colosseum and why she really doesn't like it in a feature length video.

Considering she completed it multiple times alongside completing gen 3, I completely understand why she doesn't like it.

Also, I didn't realize it was apart of the edgy the hedgy trend during the early 2000s.

"We're all paper, we're all scissors, we're all fightin' with our mirrors, scared we'll never find somebody to love."

@Irene Chaing "Normal" to "Beast" might need some pokemon to be retyped (namely Meloetta, regardless on wehter you think humanoids should be classified as animals, that doens't really change that most humanoid pokemon are usually not in that type. There is also the Blissey and Porygon Lines and Regigigas)

That honesty checks out. Gen III was more or less before the main titles got Cerebus Syndrome and even recent games don't usually have pokemon slavery as a plot point (Unova notwithstanding), let alone doing it via Mind Rape.

It's already a given that if the Orre games get a remaster, there'll be some Hype Backlash. It happened to Sonic CD and it'll likely happen to it as well.

One of my various wacky ideas for video games was a revisit to Orre that had its own Grand Underground discovered with new Pokemon and regional forms found in it. Could lead to what is essentially and information gold rush ash people from across the regions visit Orre and possibly overwhelm any criminals through sheer numbers and the presence of any powerful trainers. Also Orre becomes much more developed overall. Could see navigating the Grand Underground of Orre as a way to get from town to town outside of a vehicle. Since the player is underground, the equivalent to a Flying Taxi could be a Pokemon like Alakazam or Xatu teleporting the player. Maybe Wes or Michael is the region's champion as well.
