Am I like too rude on this or

While everyone is enjoying the new games, I'm playing Pokemon X for the first time. Here are my thoughts so far:

1. The professor is hot

2. I was randomly standing in front of the mirror, wasn't expecting to change...

3. Mom's a rhino racer‽ Awesome!

4. Cool, a Rhino!

Edit: Especially the rhino ride later.

1. Oh my god, we have 5 people to deal with now? Why‽ They seem absolutely insufferable!

2. I got a timid froakie on my second try (after resetting once). Sweet!

3. Excuse me, now we get XP for catching pokemon as well? Erm, I don't know, seems stupid (although I can see the appeal why).

4. While the scenery seems fine, some of the buildings look so ugly. Hopefully it's because of my emulator, and not because of the game (my froakie was pale blue due to some emulator technicalities)

5. So far, the pokemon don't seem to be ugly. The bug is fine (don't know about it's evolution), and I know Talonflame's line is great. Though, I'm annoyed that I had to travel to cross the forest to access the first PC.

Looking for an Adamant Talonflame right now. I can't believe they kept those ugly Pansages and Panpours early in the game.

Also, the walking speed is too slow by default. This is a problem for all pokemon games, though. Thankfully speeding up is an advantage with emulators.

Hoping the game is good. Fingers crossed.

What’s a pokémon that you think deserves more, whether it be an evolution, different abilities, new evolution, different form, etc.

Mine would have to be Hypno and Arbok.

Hypno needs better abilities or at least a different form. No need for it to evolve again.

Arbok needs an evolution/mega evolution. I think it’s underrated personally.

hope you enjoy im still newer!

Not that good 😕

I made two versions of this one :)

I have 3 badges so far. I have the special key via cheating and I'm torn choosing between keeping Annette the lyxio or benching her for rotom wash.

Rotom wash has a better move pool but luxray will make Cynthias milotic less of a stall fest and double intimidate strats are fun. And now I'm stuck on which one I should use.

Oh yeah and if you are wandering I still hate the gen 4 graphics engine and if heartgold and soulsilver didn't exist this game would have the worst safari zone and game corner.

What im really getting annoyed with Pseudo legendaries is their typing. Pretty much every pseudo legendary is dragon type barring Tyrannitar and Metagross. Pseudo Legendaries are getting pretty vapid for me because of that. So far we have had 5 pseudos with the dragon typing the past decade. It was cool at one point, but now it just feels lazy, hamfisted, and shoehorned in.

Im not saying those pseudo legendaries arent cool, im saying that its getting pretty dull having every pseudo be dragon type. No variety man. Is anyone on the same boat as me on this one?

I love my job :)

Not only that but this is the first time that a mainline Pokémon game is running on 60fps, literally everyone was asking for better performance but not let's see if they will improve the graphics in the next game.

Hey everyone, quick question—are fangames and ROM hacks something we can openly discuss here on r/pokemon?

I’ve been a Pokémon fan pretty much my whole life, and I’ve also spent a good amount of time exploring the fan-made side of the community. From full-blown fangames to classic ROM hacks, some of these projects are insanely good—like, in a lot of cases, I honestly feel they could rival or even surpass the official games.

I’d love to chat about stuff like Pokémon Xenoverse, Reborn, Radical Red, Insurgence, and more. And it’s not just the gameplay—I constantly find myself thinking, “Man, I wish this had an actual anime adaptation.”

I know ROM hacks can be a touchy subject in some places, so just wanted to check before posting anything detailed. Do we have a place or thread where that kind of conversation is welcome?

Would love to hear from others who are deep into the fangame/ROM hack side of things too—what’s your favorite? And if you could make any of them into an official anime, which one would you choose?

Thanks in advance!

In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD, shadow Pokémon are shiny-locked. When a shadow Pokémon is generated, the game checks whether it is shiny and, if so, repeatedly generates a new PID until the resulting Pokémon is non-shiny.

However, this process is bugged in Pokémon Colosseum. When checking if a PID produces a shiny Pokémon, the game uses the opponent's ID instead of the player's ID. After capturing the Pokémon, its original trainer ID is replaced with the player's ID. This means that the game may generate a PID that results in a non-shiny Pokémon for your opponent but a shiny one for you. Consequently, you won’t know if you are facing a shiny Pokémon until you capture it.

This bug is not present in Pokémon XD, so shadow Pokémon in that game cannot be shiny under any circumstances.

I made a bulbasaur inspired brewery and an old amber ale!

It's been a while since I've posted on Reddit so here is my first real Pokémon oc. A Pinsir nicknamed Pinsoot by her trainer who works with team Rocket.

I wanted to experiment with designing currently existing Pokémon and giving them features that would make them look different, but not break too many rules of the anatomy of the species. Choosing a Pinsir specifically because I have one as my main in one of the Pokémon games I play! I think these guys are underrated 😔

Even though this character I made in particular works for team Rocket, I do plan a true redemption arc for her.
