Pokemon sequel is under development for DS

I've argued a few times before that this scumbag is the worst Pokémon ever and its continued existence is a blight on humanity.
Forgettable, sure. Worst in battles, eh I've seen worse but okay. Worst? Nah man.

Deoxys is easily the worst.
 
Dude who made Mastermime also made a solid Jynx evo:

Needs to fix those damn arms though.

No way, Deoxys has that whole 'DNA' thing going for him and having four different forms with their own stats and moveset is pretty cool. the only thing sucky about Deoxys are the hoops you have to jump through to actually obtain it.

I don't know, I hate the whole alien thing. It doesn't go in Pokemon.

I guess that's just me.

Yeah, I haven't gone through all of them closely, but it seems the same guy did a whole slew of fake Pokémon. The Jynx evo was pretty cool, too.

I hate to blow your mind, but didn't the anime suggest that all pokemon came from the moon/another planet? Pretty sure it was the clefairy episode.

Not sure how I remember that, after all these years.

EDIT: Beaten
 
Andrex said:
But Clefairy are aliens too.
Dude I know. They fucking put them in spaceships in some episodes.
I don't approve of that either, but the way it was handled was better than Deoxys.

Edit: You know that's bullshit. All of the Pokemon from the moon? Lemme just go with the manga for a while.

Although they're not doing any better lately with the Galactic Bomb stuff...

Yeah but in another they say they're all from the sea. Maybe the moon crashed into the sea. :O
 
And how the hell can you send a Pokémon to your PC when you catch it, but any other time you want to access your stored Pokémon, you have to go to a PC?

And how come no one's invented laptops.

And how come if that happens it's healed automatically but if you have an open space on your team it has crappy health/status.
 
Dunsparce really isn't that bad when you consider it has Serene Grace and access to all kinds of paraflinch moves. Rock Slide, Bite, Headbutt, Thunder Wave, Body Slam...you have at least a 60% chance of ending a turn unharmed.

A worse Togekiss, sure, but not the worst.

There's one in your room in HGSS.

Maybe the reason you can send pokemon to your PC remotely but not pull them out whenever you want is because of infrastructure issues. You know, awesomely-fast upload speeds, but crappy download speeds.

Because it goes to the PC, which are stored indefinitely in the pokemon center, which equals healingz.
 
El Sloth said:
Was it ever explained HOW exactly humans made a fucking pokemon?

I'm more interested in why nearly everything non-human is considered a pokemon, even stuff that isn't really organic/"natural". :lol

I know I'm probably taking this more seriously than they probably are and they're just having fun making all kinds of crazy origin stories, but by Gen II I've kinda wondered "just what is a 'pokemon'".

And how come no one's invented laptops.

Man I wish B/W added this. I'd love to be able to access my PC from anywhere, even if it's like after you get 5 or so badges.

Would pretty much solve my problems with HMs too.
 
All the times I tried to apply real world logic in Pokemon I stopped at the part where they arbitrarily trap countless animals inside balls, force them into fights and still see it as an act of friendship and love.

but it's fun
 
I'd like to carry my pokes around on a 250GB usb drive you know?

The one in your room can't move Pokemon. So maybe it just has to be a full-blown desktop PC.

Possibly, but three years on, you'd have expected them to have solved the power/weight problem.

I do love how everyone in the Pokemon world has Nintendo consoles in their houses.
 
Pokemon has so many retcons. At first they said all Pokemon came from Mew, but then Arceus created the universe or some shit. So wouldn't all Pokemon come from Arceus? Also if Arceus created the universe, why did Groudon and Kyogre create the land and seas of the earth? Also, Dialga and Palkia control time and space for some reason. But Celebi can time travel, so what's the difference between it and Dialga? Also, how can Pokemon understand commands? How does a Pokemon know Fire Fang from Take Down? Aren't the names arbitrary labels humans put on them, and thus Pokemon would be ignorant of this concept? And why do so many buildings lack doors?
 
I bet there's a pokemon game for the DS in pokemon world.

Maybe like, an ARPG where you play as your favorite pokemon, or the game makes a copy of a pokemon you have.

There's probably a whole game industry based around pokemon.

Yeah whoever made the Mime evo I posted also made a Jynx evo that I don't totally throw up at. Course Jynx is in the same boat as Mime (i.e. I hate how these fucking things look)

Still pretty gross, but I could live with it.
 
My explanations:

Forkball said:

I take it that Mew made Arceus, who made the universe, and then Mew made the remaining Pokemon, ignoring Dialga and Palkia.

Or, Arceus made Dialga, Palkia, and Mew, and Mew made the rest.

Forkball said:
Also if Arceus created the universe, why did Groudon and Kyogre create the land and seas of the earth?

Could be like Genesis in the Bible: God created the Earth but it was formless and void, then during days two and three He added to it. Groudon and Kyogre really just shaped what was there into "Land" and "Ocean." Of course, there's also the possibility that Groudon/Kyogre only shaped Hoenn.

Forkball said:
Also, Dialga and Palkia control time and space for some reason. But Celebi can time travel, so what's the difference between it and Dialga?

Dialga rules time, Celebi just moves through it. Dialga can create a whole new kind of time if it wanted, or destroy time entirely.

Forkball said:

Genes I suppose. Maybe at first they couldn't, but over time that stuff was just built into their DNA.

Forkball said:

Because Giovanni needs somewhere to hide where kids can't bother him.
 
Andrex said:

I think its more like the case with Humans and Dogs where they have been living along side each other for so long that its just ingrained in them to understand each other. And as such Pokemon can understand humans and humans can understand Pokemon (but to a lesser extent)
 
Forkball said:
Looking at a list of all the Pokemon, it's surprising how many I forgot even existed even though I'm a big fan. Seriously, when was the last time you saw these guys?:
Spr_4d_310.png


I rarely ever see trainers use them. I think even the developers wanted to forget about Gen III's new Pokemon.

Joke post?

He was the star of my team. The elite 4 didnt stand a chance against him (with camerupt)
 
Mew isn't a creator, he's just the missing link of all known Pokemon, most likely with the exception of Arceus. Of course, both of those backstories are possibly just legends to explain something that is seemingly unknown or paranormal. I mean, for Arceus to be "God" he sure is easy to catch, tame, and even receive multiples of to a trainer's will; plus, his legend only exists in the Sinnoh region so far.

Ditto also apparently is made up the DNA of all Pokemon, so does that make him come before Mew and Arceus? Pokedex entries are just flavor text, in general. And if Ditto is artificial as a Pokemon that implies someone has received the genes of both Arceus and Mew in the creation of the thing.
 
Oh lord, pokemon creation myths.

Here's what I propose, the various regions all have their own pokemon creation myths, but none of them are actually true except for the existence of these pokemon.

Ditto doesn't have every Pokemon's DNA, it can only copy it.

Also the movies make pretty clear the legends for Arceus, Palkia, Giratina, and Dialga are quite true. Heck they even showed they all have their own universes (except for Arceus.)

I didn't really like the DP movies. Last good one was Manaphy.
 
There are two rules in gaming culture:

1. Dont try to make sense to Nintendo (and Koijima) games, because they dont bother, so why should you:
- There is no timeline for all Zelda Games.
- There is no deep story in Mario.
- The world of Fire Emblem will be in medieval for ever.
- Advance Wars soldiers die for the fun of the COs..
- Pokemon technology, biology and ethic makes on sense.

2. Iwata laughs

extremely quick evolution, extremely quick domestication

Building designers in the Pokemon world are retarded


These aren't totally legit, bona fide answers, but that's how I'd explain it

Some do. The anime makes it into a career choice practically.

Also there's these guys:

Humm . . . I think I might try to draw a water/ thunder final form for the Otter. Haven't seen anyone try that one and I like the thought of a water/ thunder starter. :)
