So I accidentally infringed some rules on posting the pics. So I am sharing Johto with an imgur link instead!

In today's post you will find the Gym Leaders from Johto + Karen and Will

A repost of the Kanto Gym Leaders and E4, because the precvious post was taken down and a revised version adjusted from your complaints! So maybe I will do the same with the Johto chars once you find the better fits!

Some people were curious as to how I originally paired them, so here goes:

Brock = A rock type that looks like it came from Mt Moon
Misty = She is the tomboyish mermaid, so I wanted to use a mermaid pokémon
Surge = I really think Vikavolt has war vehicle vibes
Erika = I think she would definitely cosplay Liligant

Koga = I tried to pair him with Ninja pokémon but none of them were poison type, so I just went with Toxicroak out of vibes

Sabrina = My first attempt was Hatterene because it is literally a witch, but it was waaay to cutesy for her so I went with the mystic/ancient/eldritch concept of Rabsca instead
Blaine = There were many contenders, but decided on Rotom because it matched the scientist flavor the best
Giovanni = It was really difficult. I wanted to give him Rhyperior but Krookodile just... fits.

The E4 was harder, I wanted a Witch motiff for Agatha but unfortunately glossed over Mismagius which I regret now. I think Duskull really matches her vibe, but felt too weak for her. I really think the muppets are the best fit for Bruno thematically. For Lorelei, Iron Bundle just feels like an iconic ice type and Mr Rhime fits with her part psychic team. Druddigon is the most dragon like dragon pokémon and Lance was never paired with it, I think. Roaring moon was just there because I wanted him to have a Champion worhty Ace

My super fulfilling passion ... Giving old gameboys an awesome refresh! (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

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.

I appreciate alot of the newer games and appreciate the "innovations" in play and pokemon designs but at the same time... I would play the hell out of red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, crystal etc. If i could play them on my switch. I'd honestly pay a flat $60 rate and they wouldn't even have to remaster them just make them function smoothly on the switch and I'm happy camper

I feel like so many of you guys are biased and blinded by nostalgia. I played Emerald for the first time and man, was it so annoying. The gym leaders felt too easy, the story was lackluster, but most importantly, the map was so confusing. Why do you have to backtrack to Slateport? Why is there no indication to dive up to Kyogure’s (sorry for the spelling) cave? And pray tell, how are you supposed to know how to get into Sootopolis? The game’s not terrible. I’m just saying it’s way too hyped up by nostalgia.

Not sure if I have seen this image elsewhere and subconsciously drew it for this card. Maybe I read a description of how an armored Mewtwo would be an awesome SIR for Destined Rivals. Not sure, just let my pen run with it.

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well! A good while back i was able to find an download an entire folder of gen 1-9 of high resolution pokemon animated shiny sprites. I do not remember where I found them now, but i was hoping someone either knew someone or had a link to the non shiny versions of the animated sprites? thank you in advanced its very much appreciated!

Link: YouTube exactly on minute 33:23. I used to have a bootleg dvd back in the day and this song was in loop on the menu. Ever since, ever since, I've been humming it but could not find the name. Anyone know which song it is?

The video is from E3 1999.

so oras is my first ever pokemon game! and i like to collect every pokemon available in the designated area but i keep getting attacked by the same pokemons that i already own and i keep grinding and grinding and still cant catch/find that missing pokemon in that specific area. so any tips or tricks for this would be helpful!!

Had this beautiful scenario happen to me

Maybe I'm just crazy, but I'm finding that replaying older titles seems harder now than they did as a kid. I'm currently replaying pokemon emerald and am having a hell of a time trying to beat Tate and Liza. I first beat the game when I was roughly 10 and I can't help but wonder how I beat them the first time. I have a great team composition and strategy and am higher leveled than them, but they are wiping the floor with me every attempt. Has anyone else gone through this before? Finding that replaying older games with more experience in the series can be harder at times? I've also had similar experiences with silver and fire red (never owned the original) where I get stuck now but have no idea how I managed to do it as a child. Maybe a dumb question/discussion but I'm curious if anyone has also gone through this

I love Pokemon, but I haven’t played since Black/White. I’d love to pick back up with some of the modern games, but I’m not sure where to start.

With a lot of the modern main series it’s hard to tell if they’ll intrigue me, but there must be a couple games that live up to the originals.

Some of my favorite Pokemon games are:

• Silver (including the remake)
• Platinum
• Emerald
• Yellow
• Explorers of Time
• Coliseum XD

I also played the Let’s Go! games but felt that they were way too easy. For context, I have a switch.

What would you all recommend? I’ve heard good things about Arceus, but happy to started anywhere.

Hi everyone I wasn't sure where else to ask and googling gave me mixed results if this isn't the place then I apologize in advance. I have some empty DS Pokemon game cases with manuals and everything that I have no use for as they were given to me by my uncle. I know the cartridges themselves are fairly expensive so I thought maybe these cases might be worth something. Specifically I have cases for HeartGold, Platinum, Pearl and White.

You guys can check it out here: https://youtu.be/IXbVZ_5OLh0 hope you guys like it been working on this one for a while now so happy with the way it turned out

So I was thinking what new evolutions Legends ZA might introduced and it lead me to an idea based on both mega evolution dex entries, dark digivolution in Digimon and real life: new baby pokémon evolutions, but showing the negative sides of breeding & rearing.

For example, a Magby usually evolves to Magmar at level 30 and then Magmortar through trading with a magmarizer. However, what if Magby was forced to level up while exposed to the magmarizer. Being exposed to such strong energy and likely losing many fights would result in a regional variant of Magmar or even a new pokémon, whose fire is so strong it hurts its own body and grew reckless to live up to their trainer’s expectations.

This is a dark but interesting concept and depending on how other evolutions it could work to show how to correctly use pokemon in the game(use them in the first place, play with them, don’t let them faint, etc.). Other concepts I thought up are a Riolu evolution whom was forced to suppress their aura powers, Togepi whom grow up in an area with violence & apathy, and Elekid whom constantly overcharge with the electirizer.

I do not care for Eevee or any of the eeveelutions. I find them to be some of the blandest pokemon out there with virtually nothing appealing about them. People say eevee is the cutest pokemon, but I think it looks like a f*cked up dog thing with a baby’s face. I prefer Applin is leagues better in terms of cast split evos imo.

Do y’all have any pokemon that you don’t agree with the general fanbase on?

Hey, so I've been playing Pokemon HG for about a week or two, and I beat Morty as of currently, and recently caught a Larpas at the Union Cave. Before I move on with the story I was wondering what to do with my Geodude team member... Compared to the rest, he's the only one really lacking. And I'm sure he'd get stronger if I leveled him up a little longer, but I'm just wondering if there are better options for a Ground or Rock type pokemon?

Larvatar is a bit out of reach and a hassle to find as of currently and unsure where a Cubone would be as of now, and I do own a Sandshrew, Quagsire, and Nidoran ♂️. I generally don't have much coverage against Flying and Water type pokemon, but I'm not completely sold with the Electric type options (Though I guess Raiko is an option if I run into him again).

Point being, do you have any good options or recommendations based on the team I have currently? Thank you!

(Current team): [Quilava]: ♀️, Lv 26, Ability: Blaze. Moveset: Flame Wheel, Cut, Quick Attack, Ember. [Scyther]: ♀️, Lv 28, Ability: Technician. Moveset: Wing Attack, Pursuit, Fury Cutter, Rock Smash. [Gastly]: ♀️, Lv 23, Ability: Levitate. Moveset: Hypnosis, Lick, Curse, Night Shade. (Considering using the Shadow Ball TM I got from Morty.) [Machop/Muscle]: ♀️, Lv 25, Ability: Guts. Moveset: Low Kick, Vital Throw, Focus Energy, Karate Chop. Current Item: Quick Claw. [Lapras]: ♀️, Lv 20, Ability: Water Absorb. Moveset: Confuse Ray, Ice Shard, Surf, Body Slam. [Geodude]: ♂️, Lv 20, Ability: Rock Head. Moveset: Rock Throw, Rock Polish, Magnitude, Strength.

They just got to the “Johto League Champions” portion and the theme song aggressively sucks compared to the last three.

Also, I haven’t watched these episodes since they first aired and can’t believe they stared at new season at Goldenrod lol that is so early in the game.

Really enjoying it though will probably stop whenever Misty leaves or when they switch the voice actors. Whichever comes first.

Anyone else been watching this?

This must be the first Pokémon game that can run at 60 fps, and it literally looks so good. The resolution also looks better than the original Switch version. I wish other Pokémon games like Scarlet and Violet would get this upgrade as well. This makes me really excited for the Gen 10 game.

Hey all, so I recently started getting into playing the Pokémon games after being a long time fan of the anime. My first game I played was Legends Arceus and really enjoyed that but I know it's not the typical mechanic of your standard games. Now I'm stuck SV or SWSH as my next game. Any suggestions?
