how hard is it for people to make 31 iv dittos? I want to get back into battling seriously as well as get mons ready for gen 7, and that's my first big hurdle

to get perfect dittos pretty much requires hacking or insane luck, since dittos can't be bred for better ivs

Starts to get better after the SS Anne episode, that was the first wave of episodes and most of them either dropped their character or got more comfortable in the role.
They definitely got better. They had the same VAs for Johto and Hoenn and they sounded MUCH better than what I'm hearing now. Gotta get Brock to not sound like Seto Kaiba.

You gotta either hack perfect Dittos or RNG abuse them in earlier gens. I go with the latter because I refuse to hack Pokémon for any reason.

Showdown in Dark City - Ep. 42
Video (in Spanish) here
Pikachu finds a ketchup bottle at a local restaurant, and finds that he *really* likes ketchup.
Unfortunately, it took an attack from a Scyther later in the episode and was split open.
According to wiki, the next time Pikachu's ketchup affair is referred to is in episode 276 (AG 2), then again in episode 829 (XY 30). There's even a ship name for it (Ketchupshipping, natch). This new ED only confirms the relationship

There is a subreddit that gives them out iirc, but if you can't do that your best bet is to just wait until gen 7 when you can Hyper Train a Ditto.Ah fuck

You know I've been wondering
do we have an actual recent image of Satoshi Tajiri? because from what I heard the ones people use online isn't even him

He was in an interview with Ken Sugimori and Masanobu Endo a few months ago:
There is also a picture of him in the official Facebook page of Game Freak.
Ironically, there are over three different people that come up when you type Satoshi Tajiri on Google. The most infamous one is of Tsukenazu Ishihara, and then there are a couple random ones. But the one that caught my eye is actually... Dai Satō, a famous screenwriter who writes scripts for anime, movies and video games. He's done plenty episodes of Cowboy Bebop, GitS: SAC, Samurai Champloo, and others, and is the main writer of one of my favourite TV anime of all time, Eureka Seven.
I was wondering why he comes up and looked it up, and what do you know, he's actually friends with Tajiri, and briefly even had a band with him and Masuda named STEREOTYPE. They made a remix album of Pulseman music. I honestly found that mind-blowing. I hope Dai Satō gets to write the script of a Pokémon game sometime in the future.

About 9am to ten before I had to go to work. I talked to the Goldenrod lady and she was like it really loves you something along those lines
Um not to sound stupid but you did remove the Everstone again right? It should evolve once it hits the next level.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Everyone always uses a picture of Ishihara now, it seems to be partially a meme but a lot of people legitimately think it's him...even googling Satoshi Tajiri has a picture of Ishihara appear on the side.

I'm really glad I'm back into Pokemon.
I've had previous attempts (bought Black 2) and it just didn't work for me, but between Sun and Moon hype, Go, and my current run of X, it feels good to be back into Pokemon. I also love the number of Pokemon Youtube channels and media. Feels like a nice, tight knit community which reminds me of why I got into the games to begin with.
What's the best Pokemon Adventures arcs?

I didn't get a reply in the ORAS thread so I will try here. I hope this is the place to put trade requests. I'm looking for a few things.
I would gratefully appreciate if someone with access to the following Pokemon with their hidden abilities could hook me up.
1. Ivysaur (Preferably female in a Nest Ball)
2. Tyrunt
3. Sableye
4. Sentret (Preferably female in a Premier Ball)
Also if someone could send a 6 IV non-NA region ditto my way that would be amazing. If that's not possible, I'm looking for 5/6 IV male non-NA region Pokemon in the field, grass and human-like breeding groups.
I have essentially a full-living dex so I can breed you basically anything in return.
Thanks so much.

Tajiri is also on a 2004ish episode of Game Center CX where he reveals some early names for certain Pokemon (Nidoking = Maiko) and also faces Arino in FRLG. During this battle you learn that he is the one responsible for adding confusion because he keeps using Confuse Ray on poor Arino and this is his reaction:

I must say, Tajiri doesn't really look Japanese.

Why do people always choose the fire starter? Fire starters are lame. It seems from game to game they're the most popular, though.
Also apparently there's a lot of hate against Popplio??
I think this is the best looking set of starters since Gen 1.

Cuz Fire is pretty Awesome, especially when your a kid lol.
However later Gens Iv passed on Fire.
My Starters have been:
Gen I
Charmander
Gen II
Typhlosion
Gen III
Torchic
Gen IV
Chimchar
Gen V
Oshawott
Gen VI
Froakie
Gen VII
I'm super undecided def depends on what their final forms are. This may be the first time I go grass.
Id love to see this thread get finished. love the idea

Blasian Persuasion said:Normal
Snorlax, Kangaskhan, Smeargle, Chansey, Miltank, and Pidgeot
Looks like Gaf prefers pure Normal types with a lot of bulk.
Electric
Half are pure Electric types, but given that Electric has hardly any dual types with most of them coming from Rotom forms, it's understandable. The Mega Pokemon of choice was Mega Ampharos with its unique Electric/Dragon Typing. The odd choice here is Lanturn. It has a unique type, but I found its movepool lacking and the moveset is quite an odd one with no STAB moves at all for the little fish. Gaf's Electric team is highly offense based with powerful special attacks. Thundurus and Mega Ampharos are the two on this team to look out for.
Steel
Interesting choices this time. No pure Types at all this time around making for a versatile team. In Blaze Black 2 I fought a trainer with a Ferrothorn with Iron Barbs and a Rocky Helmet... Fuck that Pokemon!
Water
Lanturn, Jellicent, Seaking, Azumarill, Primal Kyogre, and Clawitzer
Fire
Arcanine, Torkoal, Talonflame, Darmanitan, Ninetails, Infernape
Disappointed no one picked Volcarona, but there's hope for it when we get to Bug. I do like Torkoal, Talonflame, and Ninetails a lot, so there's that.
Dark
Weavile, Krookodile, Liepard, Mega Sableye, Murkrow, and Scrafty
Bug
Shedinja, Scolipede, Ledian, Leavanny, Galvantula, and Volcarona
Flying
Tropius, Jumpluff, Emolga, Drifblim, Archeops, and Staraptor

It's usually because Fire is a rare type due to the limited number of them and they're rarely at the beginning of the game. For example:
Gen 1: Oddish/Bellsprout around Cerulean, Growlithe/Vulpix around Celadon, Magikarp around Cerulean (Poliwag around Cerulean in Japanese Blue)
Gen 2: Bellsprout around Violet, Growlithe/Vulpix around Ecruteak, Tentacool/Magikarp/Qwilfish around Azalea
Gen 3: Shroomish around Rustboro, Numel/Slugma/Torkoal around Lavaridge, Wingull around Rustboro
That, and Charizard was deemed the coolest starter by a lot of kids back in the 90s so people still have type loyalty to it.
I went with Squirtle back in gen I, and picking the water starter first each gen has been tradition for me since, although Litten was making me reconsider until the final evos leaked. Litten's final is growing on me
, but Popplio's redeems its line.
(I'm just mad it's bipedal and going from the emo motif to being a heel wrestler)
I'm really hoping for it to be water/fairy. All 3 final evos are pretty exceptional, IMO, so I'll get around to using the other two sooner rather than later.

I mainly chose fire types for the longest time because people would always mention (when I was younger and the games first came out) that fire types were "hard mode" and therefore dangerous. And my reaction would always be
I remember that too, GEN I brocks gym was hell you had to pretty much over level to beat him lmao.

I guess I have no attachment to Charizard.
I bought Blue for one thing, so I was greeted by a Blastoise on my game box and game itself.
I chose Bulbasaur. I mean, I eventually got all three and filled my Pokedex, but I never thought much of Charizard and thought Blastoise was way cooler. And Mew, Volteon, Zapados, Mew Two even cooler than that. I've never had an affinity for fire type Pokemon in general besides Ninetails.
I chose Bulbasaur because having watched the anime, I knew rock gym was first and water was second. Bulbasaur being grass would help me out and I plotted out my Poke journey via prior information gained from the TV show and trying to get the most balanced team possible.
When I get nostalgic over any Pokemon it's probably Bulbasaur - the first Pokemon I picked.
fire Pokemon mostly look lame

I chose water every gen
on my crystal I went typhlosion, gave him a magnet and thunder punch and steamrolled the game
on my crystal I went typhlosion, gave him a magnet and thunder punch and steamrolled the game
I've choosen Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Chimchar, Oshawott and Froakie, so I'm leaning Water with my starter picks. Unless Litten's evolution grows on me, I'm probably picking my first Grass starter in Rowlet. Unlike a lot of people here, I am not feeling the hype in regards to the starters. Litten looked pretty cool, but I really don't like it's final evolution. I kind of want to not use a starter in my first playthrough, which is something I never do. However, I did use the Gen V starters in Black & White / 2, and those were atrocious, so I'll live.
Always felt that the starters in many ways represents my feelings for the generation as a whole. I adore the Gen III starters, so I'm very fond of Gen III as a whole. On the other hand, I got zero love for the Gen V starters, so Gen V does nothing to me. So I hope my feelings for the Gen VII starters don't match my feelings for this generation.

I don't really have a preference for starter types. My picks on the first playthrough:
Kanto: Charmander
Johto: Totodile
Hoenn: Torchic
Sinnoh: Chimchar
Unova: Snivy
Kalos: Froakie
Alola: Rowlet
I mostly agree with the original choices I made - Charizard, Feraligatr, Infernape & Greninja are still my favourites from their respective gens, so the only real exception is that I much prefer Sceptile to Blaziken now. In Gen 5 I didn't really like any of the fully evolved starters, but I figured I may as well stick with Smugleaf. Still don't like any of the Unova ones, there's no good choice there.
I've since used all of the starters other than Samurott, Chesnaught and Delphox. I think the Water starters are the most consistent. Aside from Samurott (and now Poppmaid), the others are all really good. Fire starters have been ugly (imo) since D/P. Grass are generally not to my tastes - Sceptile's the only one I really like.
