Aria? Oh is that Elle's dub name? She has a nice ass.
Anyone got any cool ideas for a theme team for a fresh playthrough of X? I was thinking of running something like a medieval magic-themed team, with some monsters like Aegislash, Dragonite, etc., but then I remembered I don't like using Aegislash that much so I scuttled that whole plan. Does anyone else enjoy putting together teams like this?

He wouldn't look so fabulous
I've been playing LeafGreen lately and kinda liked going back to the old mechanics of typing = attack stat used. It feels real nostalgic and while it made some pokemon pretty bad just because they can't use their STAB effectively (like gyarados), I still really enjoy it in a different way from the games today. Equipping all normal types with hyper beam and knowing that most normal types had higher attack stats made for some really fun times.

I dunno, just add the weird s marks on Elle's cheeks and you'd see some Ash.
Also holy shit Valerie goes "ara ara~" when fighting Ash.

Route 5 in Kalos is pretty great for Furfrou.

The "What would it take for you to get back into Pokemon?" thread is amazing for all the wrong reasons.
It's easy to see who actually played a Pokémon Game in recent Time, and who's just talking with knowledge of his faraway memory in there.

I think it is probably a good thing nobody ages in the show.
It'd so awkward to look at the gang now being old enough to marry each other and have children. And still have a Pokémon adventure.
Then again, I have silly thoughts more often than not.
I wonder if the world would be less afraid of spiders if we got Pokémon spiders instead of what we have here. Giant plushie spiders!

We already have Pokemon spiders. 4 of them, even!
EDIT: Well 3, if you don't count Joltik.

should I check it out or will I go insane?
Don't.
"An open world game or MMO with Pokemon on field and on console/PC"
"A full-blown console release that plays like Ni No Kuni would be the bees' knees"
"Put it on a console, reduce the Pokemon. Way too many to give a damn about"
"Stop using the new hideous art style. Get rid of mega evolutions"
you tell me

Some suggestions in that thread are perfectly reasonable. For example, if somebody wants Pokemon to change up the story progression significantly then I can understand that. I may disagree, but it's understandable. Things like better balancing, a hard mode, removing IVs, and so on are also perfectly understandable requests.
Then there are the guys who want the number of mons to be cut down to roughly 150.
Anyone try to RNG the GameCube games? Apparently it can be done via emulator.
So my plan is to play it on Wii, then take the save to Dolphin, rng and then transfer the save back to Wii.
Lots of amazing pokes in XD.
Oh speaking of RNG, the shiny Deoxyses will be up for grabs soon!
I've slowly gotten myself back into Pokemon after the great April disaster of drunken proportions.
Because of the delay I'm thinking about doing a bonus or something.

considering the amount of people who can't read in the new Gust game thread, they somehow did despite being unable to read

Heh, saw this from /vp/ which was taken from Sushi's (one of the subbers) tumblr
So Ash's bullshit actually is canon!
Edit: ahahahahah that homoscience
What's sad is the worst offender on that list for me is actually not genwunning but people wanting Pokemon to play like Ni no Kuni.
Kamen Rider Blackie?

I liked the several hours I got to play of Ni No Kuni but like it's not what I want out of Pokemon and stuff.

there are people who skateboard in Japan?
Just get the Flareon one then. If it does not fit then at least it's just Flareon.

Didn't you know? Flareon doesn't exist.

Hmm, this iteration of the community thread is going to last for over two years.
That's... Really slow.

we're basically an anime thread anyway
I read that Pokemon should make changes thread in gaming and it's absolutely awful.
And the funny thing is a lot of the complaints for the lack of and wish lists for certain features are already in the newer games. People who don't know what they're talking about easily outed themselves.

"I WANT A STORY!"
I think the worst posts are the ones saying they should get rid of a bunch of Pokemon.
Yeah that too, what kind of story can they tell? Pokemon is always meant for the child demo and not the manchilds.
You're not going to get a gritty Pokemon cmon now. Lol
Also the reduction of Pokemon and removal of IVs, natures, etc. is just laughably bad.
Basically they just want the original game boy games. Which even when I as a kid got quickly bored of (and as an adult even more so bored of even with nostalgia glasses), mainly due to how barebones and limited it was.
Edit: Also the console argument, they tried two decent games in Colosseum and XD. Both games even had incentives (non glitched gen 3 beasts, special moves for Lugia, Zapdos, etc). Neither game drew in that demographic that they're claiming wants a console game.

Yep, the topic is definitely cringeworthy. But funny enough, it made me play Pokemon Black from the beginning. Even though it's only been a few years, I worried that my "nostalgia glasses" might've been blinding me and maybe the game isn't as good as I thought it was.
I think I like Black/White even more than when I first played it. After playing Pokemon X/Y I really like characters like Bianca, Cheren and N. I love seeing the Gym Leaders out and about. Yeah, the story does have its flaws, but I really wish they would put more effort into future titles. This definitely makes me realize what I enjoy in a Pokemon game. Unova is pretty damn good too. I wish they'd make a region based on Toronto but I have a feeling that Unova is as close as we'll ever get.

I just want Cynthia's home region next gen.
Cynthia as the main protagonist. 8 Cynthia gym leaders. 4 Elite Four Cynthia's. Cynthia as champ, also as the hidden champ. Professor Cynthia, with her assistant Cynthia. Cynthia will show up for all exposition dumps.
All pokemon are Garchomp.

I am surprised the localization team didn't add accents to Valerie when they would normally give them to others, considering she has a certain dialect in Japanese. Subbers went for a Southern belle for her.
also lol this can be taken in a different way

Valerie's another gym leader the anime has more interested than the games ever did.
And Ash is basically moving from one ship tease to another
