Make Johto independent

I literally believe Johto region has been treated unfairly in comparison to other regions because it relies too much on kanto. For once, I want it to stand on its own being disconnected from kanto and just be neighbouring regions like Earth and Venus are closest to each other but not one planet. Additionally, I really want Johto to get its own evil team controlling Lugia and Ho-Oh instead of team rocket where it is revealed in new games, that rocket grunts exploited johto due to close proximity to other regions since giovanni disbanded team rocket but later the real criminals of johto defeated rocket grunts so rocket went back to kanto. Moreover, new cities and towns should be added to johto just like unova expanded in b2w2. How many of you agree? #JusticeforJohto#

"Attaxit" - the 100 moves we've lost (temporarily?) since SwSh

Everyone and their mother have talked to death about Dexit, right. But I wanted to bring attention to a small topic that I think is a little overlooked in the broader online community: attaxit aka the removal of moves from the main line games that has also had its origin in SwSh.

I will refer to this document I created to give an overview over the cut moves in detail! Please check it out!

Sword and Shield removed 76 moves from the previously existing 674, so about 11.3% of all Gen I-VII moves at the time.

Scarlet and Violet, unbeknownst to most, added another 24 moves to that list, making it exactly 100 moves currently unavailable in the most recent regular main line games (100/820 = 12.2% of all moves, or 13.3% of all Gen I-VIII moves)

Now, one might think: "maybe they just removed signature moves only available to Pokémon that weren't in SwSh or SV, or maybe they just removed unnecessary bloat"

But I would argue for the opposite. Of the 100 removed moves, only 4 are actual true signature moves, and only for Bone Club it could be argued that no Pokémon that could've used it was available in SV - but the move had been cut from SwSh already anyway.

And in terms of bloat, I encourage you to check the linked document and decide for yourself, but I'd argue there are quite a few iconic and unique moves on that list. And I don't consider filler to be bloat most of the time. There are only a few moves where I can really agree that no one will probably ever miss them. And considering what moves they DIDN'T cut, I don't think bloat is a strong argument.

Now, the small tiny glimmer of hope is that there is precedent for moves cut from a regular main line game (so excluding BDSP and Legends games) returning in a later game: the move Kinesis, even though unavailable to any mon in SV, still is coded into the game, similar to Hyper Fang in Sword and Shield. So considering there is precedent, and we have dexit as a similar occurrence, I still am optimistic that we will see the return of some of these moves even in a regular main line game!

What are your favorite moves that were cut from the game :)?

Is anyone else having trouble with Pokémon Central Wiki? When I Google stuff like 'Charmander', the site doesn't show up anymore, just other wikis. I have to go to their homepage first to find anything, which is a huge pain. Is this happening to you guys too?

Hot take

I think hoopa is the coolest mythical from gen 5-9
It was just so cool in its movie and it’s more rememberable than any mythical we’ve got since

The Johto games get a sequel that takes place 26 years after the events of GSC/HGSS what happens in the world?

Who are the gym leaders?
What happens to Kanto and Johto?
Is there exposure to other regions?
Who’s the elite 4?
What’s the deal with team rocket?
Is there an evil team?
Is there a new regional gimmick that emerged? (Ie mega evolution)
What cities change, get added, grow, die out, etc?
Is elm still the professor?
Does oak finally retire? If so what happens to kanto pokemon labs?

Anything else you think happens?

I have been thinking about what game would be fun to have a sequel in and I always love the worldbuilding of Johto so thought I’d get others thoughts.

so basically what i’m trying to do it’s draw all fossil pokémon based on their real life inspirations (ex drawing aurorus to look like the depiction of an amargasaurus)

i’m now doing anorith and armaldo. anorith is pretty simple based on an anomalocaris. but what pokémon data base is saying is that armaldo’s name comes from armadillo, but what im confused about is he still an anomalocaris or now an armadillo

i need help deciding how to draw armaldo whether he should also be an anomalocaris, an armadillo, or a fusion of both

PokeTuber Rant

There have been two Pokemon YouTubers that have popped up in my recommendations a lot recently that I just can't stand. They're HDVee and Fundores. It's nothing personal against them, I just can't stand their content. They both use a lot of clickbait and upload a new video almost every day covering these supposed "leaks". HDVee repetitively says "It's just a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt". Fundores has the Nintendo and Switch 2 logos in the top corners of most video thumbnails and they're sometimes accompanied by a person from the Pokemon Company, which seems foul, because it's trying to make the videos look official.

In Pokémon crystal (I’m playing on an emulator) I found out that the starter is given a berry. I found out outside of battle but something was weird. My starter hp was below 50%. How did the berry not activate during the battle it was last in?

I feel like the series is so commonly focused on trainer and Pokémon relationships, and only ever explore the Pokemon on Pokemon relationships when the trainers aren’t there.

I’ll start I like to imagine myself as a ghost type trainer since that’s my favorite type, Chandelure is my ace, I imagine their personality being somewhat sardonic and chill, they’re the type to tell you that your idea is stupid, but still not stop you because they want to see the fireworks.

Jellicent, she’s a mischief maker, she always like to pull pranks some more harmful than others, she’s probably constantly getting herself into trouble, which I think Chandelure finds amusing they always tell her something’s a bad idea, but only so they can make fun of her when she ends up doing it anyway,they never actually try to stop her.

Gourgeist, the resident diva of the team, she’s very proud of her talent and dosen’t like it when others insult her, I think she’d have a heated rivalry with Chandelure since she would want to be the ace, I can already imagine how annoyed she constantly gets by Chandelure’s mild reaction to everything, as for Frilish, I think they’d go back-and-forth like an older sister to a younger sister, she’s constantly getting Frilish to do things, and sometimes she does them, but sometimes she intentionally messes it up for fun.

Golurk, he’s feircely loyal and protective, I imagine they have kind of a paladin vibe to them, honor and all that, Chandelure’s sarcasm and insults are constantly going over his head, but he’s still the one Chandy likes the best, Golurk and Jellicent’s dynamic is definitely older brother trying to control their younger sibling, Gourgeist treats him like a butler, since he’s so eager to please and follow orders.

Yamask, the nerd of the group, he was a Pokemon scientist in his past life, so he’s constantly sharing facts he learned from his human days, he’s Chandelure’s second favorite though Chandy would never admit it he does find a lot of yamask’s fact interesting even if not to the same degree, Yamask is the main target of Jellicent’s pranks since he’s so easily flustered, Gourgeist usually ropes him into her performances and schemes, even though she’s not particularly interested in what he knows she does know it’s still useful, and will even give credit where it’s due, as long as he doesn’t outshine her, Yamask and Golurk are the closest members of the team, since Golurk is the only one who finds what Yamask has to say genuinely interesting on its own and is willing to express it.

Hisuian Zoroark, she is very protective, and family oriented the main parental figure of the group, while Golurk tries to keep everyone in check, he’s to much of a push over, Zoroark is willing to actually make them stop when they go to far, it’s probably for the best that she’s in charge and not Golurk because he tends to be pretty puritanical view on a lot of things, Chandelure has an unspoken respect for her, and they chill together, Zoroark like I said is the main one to punish and stop Frilish when she goes to far, but is also the most nurturing towards her, Gourgeist confides in her a lot since she’s always willing to listen making them pretty close, her dynamic with Golurk is basically your average fiery mother push over father dynamic, she dosen’t find Yamask super interesting but tries to listen anyway, since she knows how important it is to him.

Thats I imagine their dynamic, dysfunctional but ultimately loving, i’m curious to see what other people’s responses are.

Hey everyone, I need some help with the DNS exploit. I’m trying to access the Global Terminal in Jubilife City to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, but I keep getting an error.

I’m using two 2DS systems and I’ve set everything up perfectly—DNS settings, connection tests, etc. In fact, it works fine if I go to a regular Pokémon Center to trade locally/online. However, as soon as I enter the GTS building in Jubilife, it fails and gives me an error code.

Has anyone else run into this? Everything seems correct on my end, so I'm not sure why one works and the other doesn't. Any advice?

(This is meant to be a crosspost from r/pokemon, but apparently this subreddit doesn’t allow images, so I’ll just copy and paste)

This is for a project I’m working on. If the concept of male and female Pokémon was introduced in Gen I, what would the Nidoran line look like/be called? I’m pretty sure the only reason they’re two separate lines is because gender distinction didn’t exist before Gen II, so I’m curious if their line would go by different names. Here’s my take, but I’d love to hear your feedback and ideas:

Nidoran (without the ♂️or ♀️)

Nidonite (from “knight”, subordinate to “king” or “queen”), or just “Nidorin” (without the “a” or “o”)

Nidoreign (from “sovereign”, the gender-neutral term for “king/queen”. Originally I thought “monarch”, but I couldn’t get it to work, plus it sounds similar to Nidoran)
