Hello everyone, can any of you help me find something? I know that when the Teraleak dropped among those files there were many containing descriptions about Pokemon from gen 5 to 7 (I think). these descriptions are Pokedex-like entries but way more detailed and many of these never saw the light. I can only find websites that share beta mons design and scrapped content but not this stuff, do you know any link/website?

thank you

What if there was a pokemon game, where you dont choose your starter, your starter chooses you. The way it would work is your starter is any random pokemon excluding legendaries and mythics. However the pokemon gets a special stat boost kinda like lets go pickachu or eevee. Would you want to play it? Or even a personality test kinda like the mystery dungeon games.

The title legendaries would be based on Virgo and Scorpio, mainly because both of them are infamously very similar when it comes to glyphs, to the point that someone not familiar with the zodiac could confuse them, and even those familiar with it sometimes had to change either glyph a bit to make them more distinct, within the limits of...you know, being really similar and all.

But what would be the 3rd legendary worthy of a 3rd version or DLC? Well, the sign between them, Libra.

According to a popular theory, there was a time where Libra and Scorpio didn't exist and there were only 10 signs. Virgo was extremely powerful both in practical intelligence and emotional intelligence. Then Libra, the sign of balance, split Virgo into two, and with it, only kept the practical intelligence while the newly born Scorpio kept the emotional intelligence, balancing the powers.

The only problem I see with this is severe overlap with Gen 5, as Virgo and Scorpio are the yin yang of zodiac.

Regardless, I thought it was a cool idea, and I hope we see it in gen 12 (get it? 12 signs?). What do you think?

I booted up Ultra Sun on my new Ayn Thor since the last time I played the game was almost 10 years ago when I was still in the middle of high school. I hated the game then but since its been a long time and I'm now an older, wiser human being, everything deserves a second chance right? I'm almost done with the game and like....you know I think high school me had a point. Its the slowest paced, most boring Pokémon game ever made.

While I respected the game for trying to have a more complex story this time around since Pokémon lore for the most part is shrugged off, but I wish cutscenes didn't happen so often. Even after the tutorial island (which is roughly 2-3 hours long btw) I swear to god you get interrupted about every 10 minutes or so just for Lilly or Hau to stop you dead on your tracks and talk about shops or the festival plaza most players wouldn't remotely care about. Even the friggin Pokedex is like this. Rotom doesn't know how to shut up either! It wouldn't be such an issue if these cutscenes were at least skippable, a feature that has existed in JRPGs since the Super Nintendo days. Youre telling me Game Freak made this \*twice\* and still didn't add it in? Never mind the fact the ultra versions are hardly different than the original Sun & Moon, they couldve at \*least\* fix quality stuff like this.

And when you're finally getting into the gameplay, I find the Island trials are even more trivial than ordinary gym leaders. Again, I respect it for changing it up and being different, but its not necessarily a better change either. Because of how long it really takes to get going in these games, it makes the entire flow of the game, including the really fun stuff like battling and team building more boring. Z Moves are pretty lame too, I know Dynamaxing wasn't great either but I'd easily take that over this.

To every trainer that has a particular dislike towards Scarlet and Violet, I would like to remind you that Gen 7 exists and in my opinion, they're much worse games. I'm still going to finish what I started but I would be enjoying this a lot more if it was literally any other game, and this is coming from a person who genuinely liked Sword and Shield despite its problems. If you legitimately like Gen 7, by all means more power to you. I just can't imagine liking it any more than the slop than it really is if you remove the nostalgia factor that Pokémon is so notorious for. I've said it before in high school and I'm saying it now, Gen 7 is my least favorite gen by a landslide.

Pokémon Sleep celebra su tercer aniversario con regalos por entrar, la Playa Turquesa en modo Experto y una colaboración con el Pikachu capitán del anime.

Despite its name, we only ever see Victory Road and the Hoenn League.

Its name isn't an English addition either. The Japanese name also refers to it as a city.

Hi All 🙋🏻‍♂️

For context, the last Pokemon was Red for me in 1999. I have been following the IP over the years tho!

I have been reading great things about the evolution of the game and rumors about the next game in 2027 got me excited.

So I am curious what you think is the best game to jump back in?
I don’t understand how it’s not automatically the latest entry, but there seems to be debate about it.

I’m looking at Pokemon ZA, Arceus, scarlet violet , sword shield..

Thank you all for your time ❤️🏆

I sure do love said Pokemon! I’m totally sure that there won’t be people pissing their pants calling it a fraud and a bum, or coming up with a dumb nickname to insult the Pokemon! There’s not a doubt in my mind that all Pokemon fans truly are kind, loving, and friendly, just like 80% of official media teaches! And of course there’s not a chance a good 60% of the community is really bigoted as if it’s not the most woke coded series of almost all time!

Hey everyone, I've been brainstorming a concept for a standalone Pokémon spin-off survival/RPG game geared towards older fans, and I wanted to see what you guys think of the mechanics.

Instead of being a trainer, you play as the Pokémon in an open-world wild ecosystem. Here is how the gameplay loop works:

The Reincarnation Loop (The Rogue-like Element): Every playthrough, your soul is sent by Arceus into a region of your choice (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, etc.). You start restricted to that region's 3 starters. As you defeat other wild Pokémon (like Gengar or Lucario), you unlock them in the "Space of Remembrance" (a cosmic Pokédex) so you can choose to hatch as them in future playthroughs.

The Life Cycle: You start literally inside an egg, hatch at Level 1 as a vulnerable baby, and have to forage for berries, hide from high-level predators, and fight to survive and evolve.

Real-Time Combat: No turn-based menus. It’s full real-time action with active dodging, counters, and combo-chaining (similar to a massive open-world version of Pokkén Tournament style combat).

The Syndicate & Territory System: Wild Pokémon naturally form multi-species street gangs (like the Squirtle Squad in the anime). You can recruit wild Pokémon to your crew, bark out real-time tactical commands, and raid rival territories ruled by Alpha Bosses (like a massive Level 75 Mega Charizard X) to control the map.

The Mutiny Mechanic: You have to maintain your team's loyalty. If you lose their respect or make bad decisions, your strongest lieutenant can trigger a Leadership Challenge. If you lose the 1v1 duel, they split your gang, spark a civil war, take your territory, and exile you to restart from scratch with just your day-one partner.

Ghosts of Your Past: On new playthroughs in the same region, the game might randomly spawn your exact team and territory from your previous completed save file as an endgame AI rival faction. You literally have to fight your own past legacy.

The Goal: Conquer the region, defeat the Alpha Megas, maintain absolute loyalty, and become the Pokémon King.

What do you guys think? Would you play a Pokémon game like this? What features would you add?

Giving by is body plan

Skeletal anatomy

And dna analysis

I'm afraid to inform you that mew is not the common ancestor to all pokemon(description of any organisms that is supernatural)

That will be LUCA(last universal common ancestor)

The first mew fossilwas around 30,000 years old

Giving this,that means mew wasn't the Pokémon ancestor we thought it was

Is just a big foot cat.

I made this cuz the pokedex is a lie

Don't trust the pokedex(is chatgpt but worse)

Spreading misinformation that people fall for as facts.

I just hate and obliterate the pokedex entries.

Basically the pokemon are relatively happy in their Pokeballs.

No PTSD or anything! Eventually the government will insist a family of 4 can live inside a sphere a few metres across and be perfectly happy.

This is just an idea I had, I posted it at a response to someone else's post, thought I'd put it here too.

If I were to make a future Pokemon Legends game, what would be the three starters I would choose. I went from there afterwards.

This Pokemon Legends Johto Region takes place about 10 years after heart gold and Soul Silver. 

The rivals are 15, there's be 2 males and a female! the dick rival (the Gary or Cross type of guy) would have Cintaquil (which would be able to take on a Hisuian Typholsion form of Fire-Ghost), the friendly rival (the Hop or Hou type of guy) who has Totodile (Feraligator would be Water-Dark), and the female rival is more like a girlfriend (Serena, Dawn, May etc) and she'd have Chikorita (Meganium would be Grass-Fairy).

The Player Character is 16, and would get to choose a Region of Origin, in other words, the player moves to Johto, and upon first meeting that professor, tell the Professor what region they came from, for instance if the player tells the professor they came from Hoenn, they would get a special mystery Gift Pokemon from there father who's still in Hoenn this would be a female ralts with Happy Hour & it's Mega Stone. Choosing a different region, would provide a Pokémon with a mega stone, and happy hour, that was first introduced in that region (Kanto: Dratini. Johto: Larvatar. Hoenn: Raltz. Sinnoh: Gibble. Unova: Litwik. Kalos: Froakie it also has Battle Bond so not only can it become Mega Greninja but also Ash Greninja. Alola: Drampa. Galar: Falinks. Paldea: Frigibax. Kitakami: Ogrepon & her 4 mask forms). [Ogrepon might not be a Mega Pokémon, but the mask forms are close enough.] The professor would then give the player the option to choose one of three recently discovered regional variants of Pokémon as the starter; Charmander, Snivy or Swobble. The other two would be acquired later on, the stronger type starter would be given at the halfway point of the game, the weaker type starter would be given before the Victory road section.

Snivy, but the whole line is fire type! With a winged, horned, cobra version of Serperior as a Fire Dragon type. (Mythical Horned Serpent, the Mythical Feathered Serpent, King Cobra, maybe have it biting it's tail for an Oroborus reference, and have a fruit at the end of its tail, maybe an apple or a pomegranate, maybe a persimmon, that would be a reference to the Serpent of Eden.) this line would be fire dragon in the final stage.

Next is Swobble, make the whole line grass, a green chameleon, it's 2nd stage Drizzle has the tip of its tail, and both of its hands have heads, this would be a reference to not only the Hydra, but also to the chimera. then for it's final form Intelleon, it would have 8 heads to represent the Japanese mythological creature the Yamata no Orochi, or the eight headed serpent. Would be a grass and dragon type in its final form. This line would be grass dragon from the 2nd form onwards. 

And lastly the Charmander line, but they'd be all water type, with the final form Charizard being water dragon, and probably looking a lot more like Azulongmon from Digimon or the serpent night dragon from Yu-Gi-Oh, a very aquatic Asian Dragon. This line would be water dragon all the way through.

Now while each of these three would be starters, regional variants anyways, with dragon type final forms, the region itself would have a lot of ice types and fairy types imported (what would those be?) but these three would be the only dragon types! This is due to new evil teams that use ice types and fairy types respectively, they'd be a lot more like Team Rocket or Team Magma and Aqua, cuz I honestly HATE, Teams Skull, Star, and Yell. Both groups are enemies of the Blackthorn City Dragon Clan.

In one version of the game; The ice type evil team is very much like magma and aqua, but they want to create the second Ice age. This is also an all male team. Their leader is based on Tsukuyomi, with his eight admins being based on eight male Shinto gods, who would face the player before each gym battle, by blocking the entrance to a city where a gym is located. 

In the second version of the game: The fairy type team on the other hand, simply hate dragon types, and want to wipe them all out, believing that they are evil (mostly they think that the Dragon type Pokemon are like the chromatic dragons from dungeons & dragons, they don't believe that any dragon could be good like the metallic dragons.) this one is an all-female team. Their leader is based on Amaterasu & her 8 admins are based on eight Shinto goddesses, they too would face the player before each gym battle progressively. 

A 3rd version of the game would have you fighting both teams. The Shinto theme for the two teams is to tie in with the Japanese theme of The Johto region, while the leaders are based on the sun goddess and the Moon god, which is a reference to the day-night cycle that was first introduced in gold and silver. 

Now the region I would use, would be Johto, since the only dragon type in that region is Kingra, I think Kingdra could change, let's say that instead of the standard evolution of I believe it's trade with a dragon scale or dragonfang? You would evolve it with a stone, like an ice stone, which would give it the form of Kingdra as a water and ice type, or Queendra by giving a female a shiny Stone, which would give it the water and fairy type. The evil teams would use one of these respectively.

I would also reveal that the past paradox forms of the legendary beasts Walking Wake (Water-Dragon), Gouging Fire (Fire-Dragon) and Raging Bolt (Electric-Dragon) were actually the original form of Suicune, Entei & Raikou, before they were revived by Ho-Oh's Phoenix Resurrection flame, after the rain was put out by Lugia's, Guardian of the Sea, rainstorm. And that the fire that originally killed them, was started by a thunderbolt, came from the lion-esque silver legendary Pokemon from the Johto beta games before Lugia was introduced, and it would probably look something like Bastigor from Palworld, it would be a Steel-Electric type. 

Next a regional version of onyx that can be found on whirl island, that has the Ice & Rock type with dry skin or water absorb abilities, this would be the crystal Onix. It can become an ice and steel version of Steelix, and can still use the mega stone. 

The Johto pokemon: Murkrow, Misdreavus, Slugma, Houndour, and Larvitar, could be caught in the actual Johto region, instead of having to go to Kanto to get them. Murkrow could be caught on route 26. Houndour & Larvitar in the dark cave. Misdreavus in the Ruins of Alf. Slugma on route 36. Houndoom, Pupitar, Magcargo, Honchkrow & Mismagius on Route 45. With Tyranitar on Mt. Silver. 

the regional meowth trend continues with a Fairy Type female Meowth, which evolved into "The Shrine Maiden Cat" Fairy-Dark Persian used by the female fairy team. And Ice Type male Meowth's who evolve into "The Shrine Guardian Cat" Ice-Steel Type Perrserker, which is used by the male Ice type team.

Then add in a brand new recently discovered Jotonian Pika-Clone! Either the Shinto shrew or the Echigo mole, would be an electric ground type. It is usually found only deep underground, which is why no one ever found it before. It can be caught in any of the caves in the Johto region, such as Union Cave.

New fossil Pokemon, you'd find them in the ice path, both would be ice types, since you'd find their Frozen fossils in the Ice Path. One would be a two-stage sabertooth tiger / Smilidon line this one would look like Liollmon and Saberleomon, they would be an Ice and dark type for it's night time hunter predator vibe, the line is used by the Evil Ice Team due to its nocturnal nature, and high Speed, Special & Physical Attack stats. The other would be a two-stage woolly mammoth / mastodon line looking like Tapiermon and Mammothmon, and they would be an Ice and Steel type for it's tusks and titanium plated head, the female fairy team would only begrudgingly use this as it is a defensive tank with very high HP, special & physical defence stats. The dark and Steel type were chosen specifically because these two types were introduced in the Johto region. 

All Johto pokemon that got an Evolution or a pre-eviolution, can be caught here, as well as regional variants, even Blood Moon Ursaluna.

Celebi is Grass-Fairy type (found in the Ilex Forest Shrine), Ho-Oh is Fire-Fairy (Located at the Ekrutique Tower) and Lugia is Water-Dragon (mostly known for being at the Shimouti Islands with the Kanto birds). 

Oh, and the Orange Islands would be part of Johto, like the Sevii Islands are for Kanto. a Post Game / DLC location. 

So tell me what you all think about this?

How much of the Pokédex consists of concrete factual information and how much consists of legends and folklore passed off as fact?

I need someone to talk about pokemon if anybody is willing to talk please let me know

I'm kinda new to the Sub but not new to Pokémon I've been around since I was 11 and my first Pokémon game ever was Pokémon Silver and I've been a die hard (ok maybe not die hard) Pokémon fan since I first got introduced into it and started playing it. So I'm just here to stay share discourse and Ask questions regarding Pokémon, Pokémon lore, Pokémon mythology, Pokémon Biology, Pokémon anatomy, and Pokémon in general. So I hope you guys are ok with that (I hope you are) but I'm just rambling. But anyways... Hi.

We all know that if the flame on a Charmander's tail goes out it dies.

Does that apply to the later evolutions, like Charmeleon and Charizard? Or is it just a charmander thing?

Because that would make all the latter evolutions incredibly fragile. It's way more believable for the tiny cute little charmander to be that delicate. but a Charizard?!

I don't recall if there are any dex entries or the like that that say anything about a Charmeleon or Charizard's tail flame being life-sustaining.

Casual run of pokemon violet right, rn the team is cacnea, Sandslash, Noibat, and the topic of this, my eevee. Idk what to evolve her into so I’m asking here🤷 If you saw and/or voted on my original poll, upon further investigation, the reason umbreons option was removed from my first poll was because I, like a dumbass, accidentally replaced it because of the 6 option limit that I was again, like a dumbass, unaware of. Glaceon and Flareon are the two I like the least, so. Yeah. But now umbreons an option and people were kinda angy she wasn’t on it before and I’m genuinely curious how much this is gonna affect the general answer?? Holy yappatron💔💔💔💔

Before some jerk says "Pokemon Home". No...just no...be ashamed and log off. No.......no. Just no. No.

I haven't played all the games, so I'll list the ones I did play.

Kanto: The start of it all. Everywhere feels familiar as it's the era of my childhood. These towns, these mountains. Yes...this is my home.

Johto: This feels like the unexplored frontier of my neighboring...well...neighborhood. everything felt exciting...mysterious...new. It wasn't home, but it did feel like someone else's.

Hoenn: I don't remember much. It's been over 20 yeareals...and I didn't collect the cereals (I didn't beat it).

Kalos: I only know it for Lumiose from ZA. I felt like a tourist, but by the end, this town was my playground. I felt like I invaded it and left my mark, but I don't know yet if I'd call it home. Need to play Y.

Alola: Didn't get too far. From what I did play, yeah...it felt like a vacation, but the home factor was growing on me, too.

Paldea: This...I felt it started off as Home, but as I 100%'d it, I felt more like the invader that conquered this place. I had good intentions going in, but that soon became conquest. Now my feelings are mixed...

Kitakami: Feels like a vacation spot. Feels like the foreign exchange student's home.

Unova (BBC): This is a farm....and a laboratory. Literally an oversized farm and research facility. I feel like I transferred into a harder area. "Americans" are built different. Made me miss the home of Paldea, but to grow as a person, I can see expatriating to Unova. Geeta made me question which move would be right in choosing between Paldea and Unova.

How about you, the reader? Which region felt like "Home" and why?
