Yeah, I meant merry.
In my defence, I was rather drunk.

I'm in an anime.
i wish i could play skyward sword.
Gee, thanks.
I don't think any of the Gen V Pokémon have Gender differences, which is a disappointment.
unfezant and jellicent families both do. really great gender differences, too.
I love the gender stuff. Right now, I just shoot for whatever gender the Pokemon looks most like (e.g. Vaporeon I'd go female, Jolteon male), but in an ideal world of unicorns and universal gender differences and magical gold apples, I could just catch a Pokemon and whatever gender it is, I'll be happy.
It's probably the most powerful aspect of personalization out there for me. Don't shout at me, calm down, I know the whole deal with natures and all, but c'mon.
Actually y'know what? Why stop there. Visual differences regardless of gender. A pikachu with that silly bedhair, a Magikarp/Gyarados with longer moustache, I dunno go wild. Something like 20% chance for encounter.
I'd go even further and make 'em have gameplay differences too (like, Mamoswine with slightly larger tusks, has a lightly higher chance of getting higher than average IV in ATK), but my tea is getting cold and I could keep typing for hours.
I'll sell this to you GameFreak. I want 3 coal and whatever shitty coupons you have.

The gender doesn't particularly matter to me unless it's a shiny Kingdra.
Yeah those are amazing. But outside of them...

Repost from animu thread:
Pikachu's Winter Vacation: Christmas Night:
The Pokeymen are left to their own devices while their trainers go out in order to get stuff for Christmas eve. Squirtle and Bulbasaur start WRECKING SHIT UP, and it's up to Pikachu to keep everything safe, particularly due to Togepi's propensity to get into trouble.
This is fairly standard as far as Christmas specials go. They even get to ruin Christmas, only to come up with a fairly logical but cute solution to the problem. Thus the Pokeymen learn that the holiday is not about the food or the material possessions, but rather spending time with those they love.
out of five.
Pikachu's Winter Vacation: Kanga Games:
The Pokeymen discover a Brave New World after waiting for a chilly blizzard to die out.
Yeah, that's the plot.
This episode is more similar to the Pikachu shorts from the movies. There's not heart-warming message beyond a faint tinge at guardian-child bonds; it's all wacky hijinx... on ice. Can't say I cared too much about it even with the Meowth cameo (he should have had a more central role to at least give some sense of conflict to the script). There's a moment when shit gets real and it looks like the Pokeymen will be fucked up forever, but all is well at the end. Regardless, it is a fun ten minutes if you were into the playful episodes from the animu where Ash and company where absent.

Fuck yeah those Pokemon Christmas specials were awesome. I had a VHS with them on and also one where they have to find Delibird's presents and help Santa do something.
Also happy Boxing Day.

Oh man, this is the cutest page. That Kyurem is d'awwww-worthy.
I only ever saw the first one of those Christmas specials, but I always remember it making me feel really festive.
Wasn't there a CD out around that time with Misty trying to get Ash under the mistletoe, or was I just imagining it?

Going by the fact that Reshiram and Zekrom were originally one dragon, Kyurem having a lower stat total than them and that there are two ice moves in the game that no Pokemon can learn right now called Ice Burn and Freeze Shock which can burn and paralyse respectively, I'd say almost certainly.

Been listening to a lot of the movie themes recently. The hell is wrong with me.

Kyurem is boss. Maybe the best dragon ever.

Nope, Kyurem's better. Would ice that overgrown snake in two seconds flat.

Eh. Kyurem's alright, but Zekrom and Latios smoke it.
And if we're talking non-legendaries, it isn't even close to Haxorus or Garchomp.
Arceus with Venom Plate?
But yeah, it's crazy this hasn't happened yet. Kinda hard to believe that Genesect was the first bug legendary, too.

I think a Poison Legend would almost certainly have an ability that negates its weaknesses. Some sort of avatar for epidemics or Black Death would be better than a snake, anyway.
I just want more genetic fuck-up Pokemon. Mewtwo and Deoxys aren't enough!
120% agree with this flawless post.
ThatObviousUser
ὠαἴÏÏιÏÏÎ¿Ï Ïαá¿Ï εἶ
For non-legends I love Hydreigon the best. Special-focused dragon? Hell yeah!
Also he looks like King Ghidorah/Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
Genesect is more of a genetic fuck-up Pokemon than Deoxys (which is just an alien.)

If I had to choose:
Non-legendary: Hydreigon
Legendary: Zekrom
I'm sort of half and half on Kyurem's stance. The stooping over just looks odd to me. Maybe his alt forme will be better...

Best Dragon is Kingdra. Suck it haters.
I'm probably most fond of Dragonite and Latias. I guess I'm just more fond of the happy-go-lucky dragons than the super-serious ones (though Hydreigon is pretty neat). And Salamence is definitely my least favorite dragon. Something about it has always made it feel REALLY generic to me, don't know why exactly. Just never been a fan.

I liked Salamence's backstory told through the Pokedex, but that's about it.

Always hated Salamence's design. So lame.
how could the lamest pokemon be the best dragon? gyarados is the better dragon, too.

The wings man, they look so lame, especially in 3D games.
If we're spouting favourite Dragons then I put in my vote for Flygon.
Deoxys counts simply because he is DNA. deoxyribonucleic acid.

That's where he gets his name and design from, but he's still an alien.
as are all pokemon and probably humans
