Pokemon Discussion Thread: Generation II

Is it just me, or do the Pokemon in the Detective Pikachu trailer look horrifying?

Mr. Mime especially.

I've been binge watching Pokémon series starting at season one.....and I must say its definitely better this time around.
I guess the first time it watched it I was to young to actually appreciate how well thought out season 1-8 were.(after season 8 the series changes so many voice actors and loses its charm). Needless to say its pretty funny seeing which episodes they took the memes from

Indigo League was my personal favorite, along with D/P, and Johto Journeys.

I loved D/P. It's my favorite of the modern seasons.

Actually, I still haven't finished it, but I liked what I saw.

Except you explore a region, not a continent, and none of the game protagonists are actually ten.

Regarding geography, does the Pokémon world take place in an alternate version of our planet or somewhere with different continents?

Early in the franchise, they made references to real life places like South America and China, but they've since excised those references. They don't even acknowledge real animals anymore. So...I dunno?

charmander is by far the best imo!

Indigo League had numerous RL references, iirc.

They haven't necessarily excised them. It's mostly just ignoring them.

It takes place where ever and whenever it wants.

The world of Pokémon is a strange one. One theory is that Pokémon are descendants of bioweapons used in a war so massive and destructive, it changed everything forever.

I've heard that one.

That's something which always confused me as a child. Especially because there's even a Kantō region in real life.

I have not heard that theory.

Don't bother yourselves with the lore beyond the local stories for each region. When pokemon decided to ignore the majority of its dedicated fanbase being adults or near adults to appeal to small children for all eternity the lore as a whole was dead. I can't find the post but there was a good post explaining how pokemon love battling, don't suffer from battling, and actually love being in pokeballs/PCs and that it was all canon. Pokemon death came from human cruelty that has been extinct, eating pokemon has been shafted to the dark recesses of older games, and even slowpokes regrow tails. The lore is dead, long live the brand.

i don't have a photo of it, but in my new save of Pokemon Sun i caught this low-level Rufflet (named Flesh-Ripper) with an UNBELIEVABLY high defense stat. he was basically a god in fights, and my main source of exp with the exception of my starter pokemon Rowlett & it's evolutions, of course. then i got up to the Rock-type trial and got smashed over and over again. then a lucky crit, i win, and i could go back to being god.

Got another shiny Eevee.

Now I can have a shiny Umbreon and Sylveon.

I have a shiny Kyogre and I'm very proud of it.

Pokémon Go is, at some point this month, adding in PvP battling.

It only took two years for this basic element of pokeymans to enter the game.

Got a shiny Snorunt and 2 shiny Spheals after 14 and 22 encounters (With the 2nd Spheal taking... I stopped keeping track) respectively. It was a male Snorunt, so now I need a female to complete the Glalie-Froslass pair.

Haven't run into a single shiny Zubat though, which is odd considering how common they are.

Takeshi Shudo leaving the writing team was a (massive) mistake.
