LEGEND (an actual legend btw) Marriland's cameo appearance during the 2015 Worlds. TPC really said yes payola

 

love the way the japanese players play chalk. so interesting to see 

[DanceFreak]

The game looks smooth 

[qurl]

Shed Tale is gamebreaking af  

[Magickarp]

Who ever made the UI needs to go to jail. I think it's unquestionably the worst one we've gotten right? Especially coming from PLA's which is probably the most stylish. Anyways when Cyclizar gets Shift Gear + STAB Espeed  + Shed Tail + Regenerator  45 / 70 / 70 / 60 / 60 / 120

 

Also i did the calcs & Cyclizar's HP ranges from 38-85, while Cetitan 138-185 don't u just love slow bulky Ice types  Coalossal was close to EV+IV maxed in the trailer, & going by what's realistic, they're both prob very close to the lower end of those estimates.

The fact that the bolded could be said about several things in this game just kind of hurts. I’m pressed.

Why do most of the pokemon models look like toys made out of some mix of plastic and play dough? I'm getting nervous

Whatever they did wrong to the models in Legends during rain, it looks like they did it here - but some Pokémon are also just, uh, always like that now?  That and some of the weird trainer models give uncanny valley vibes.

About to replay Yellow. Idk why but I’m obsessed with gen 1 lately and fascinated by the differences in typing and stats etc.

[LastKiss]

That motorbike lizard could've been another color cause it's serving house gecko 

[Serendipity]

The models look UGLY

Excadrill

Toxapex

Hawlucha 

Garchomp

Dragapult 

Mamoswine

No Dragonite or Tyranitar? Talent lost.

wait don't lizards that drop their tails also Regenerate them  Shed Skin is ha normal ability, but not HA  Let's not forget the insta revive move too 

 

I can't wait to see a Jigglypuff & Misdreavus serve 570-600 BST  wouldn't 570 be a nerf to the Pseudos, at least in terms of BST.

 

waiT GF did thaT

Wait, where did you get the BST from the paradox pseudos? Hope if they're nerfing Ttar's BST at least they better give him something else.

Both over hyped and nothing I fear going up against when battling online

oh just cuz Khu said Paradoxes are all "Mega" level a couple months ago, & said some share a new mutual ability like UB's. So i just assumed they'd all have the same exact high BST. But idk if this new tweet means he's walking back  Electric/Steel Tyranitar pls

He spilt. Funny how Wolfey made a video SPONSORED BY TPC last week calling Dynamax the best gimmick, & said he expects Worlds to have the most diverse teams ever thanks to how creative Dynamax is  and here are the T64 teams https://www.nimbasacitypost.com/2022/08/world-championships-vgc2022.html where is the diversity?  I only see 1 team in the T10 with creativity.

King Incineroar on every team

[Magickarp]

Sugimori on Humanoid starters "We made Blaziken humanoid specifically because we wanted people raising Torchic to feel a sense of disappointment. It grows into something hard to look at."    

He also said "**** it"  to the animes & merchandisings limiting demands in G3  what happened  No wonder G3 has the best designs

 

 

[Sprawl]

Journeys writing is just so terrible  I don’t even care about Diantha but her going 2-6 against a fellow champion is just.. WHAT would Ash even do (who shouldn’t even have won against Drasna) against Leon if not for plot amor. The fact they’re probably going to have Payolachu (who will be taken out by Cynthia’s Spiritomb after somehow beating a champion’s Mega Metagross with iron tail) put up a fight against his Charizard  

[Magickarp]

Kaka:

3rd Pseudo Paradox has multiple heads soor

 Rodent Couple, that evolves into a Rodent Family. People think it's an opossum

 Catfish Sushi Master. Has a relationship to the Sushi Dragon.

 Chilli Pepper mon is based on a Kappa  

 Horsehair Crab

 Ostrich

New  

Single-stage Hake fish mon. This could be it, but was not confirmed.

 

Side note: this is a super cool evo concept  give her Corrosion 

[Grim]

We never get to see the champions battle so I don’t understand why they couldn’t have just given us a nice 6v6 Leon vs Diantha instead of having Rillaboom one shot most of her team. Sometimes I wonder why we still support this franchise. And then we know that Dracovish and Sirfetch’d, aka weak af, are probably gonna do major damage against Leon. I’m so salty over this even though I knew this was coming. This was the first Pokémon series I’ve watched since gen 4 and I won’t be watching gen 9 after the awful writing displayed here.

[John.]

not even a HAGatha stan, but chile, the disgusting Gaelar payola with Leechon making him the sTrOnGeSt trainer ever  

 

I'm going to be the minority, but I actually enjoy Ash going on adventure/going to gyms and stuff with his besties of the region. Him and Gae traveling together is making me homophobic. Especially the later catching anything with on sight  imagine Ash losing Gaelar championship and goes back to school in Pleadea and pikaRAT lose to one of the three starter 

[Cruel Summer]

The way they were TERRIFIED to give us Cynthia versus Leon because even they knew that him beating her would just not be believable. The alternative that we're getting isn't much better, but at least it's less directly gross.

 

Leon is the worst thing to happen to this franchise lmfao 

[Konril]

Cynthia should beat them all and retire like the Legend that she is.

[Encanto]

Leon's payola is too much and makes a lot of people dislike him   like sure seeing him humiliating Alain (another payola'd character) is fine because he's not really a champion, but stomping on the actual Kalos champion with years of experience like that leak says  poor HAGantha

 

No one wants to see Leon winning this thing but if Ash beats him with the flop team full of pokemon without much experience (except that ugly electric rat) that he currently has the plot armor will be too obvious 

 

 

Meanwhile Queen Cynthia remains the strongest champion in the games and one of the most loved characters in the franchise 

 

 

Even when she loses, she still wins!  

 

 

 

Spoiler

Leon is still the hottest champion tho
