So now that all the mega stones are available in Sun&Moon (only last 4 missing a code, which we will get within a month), I've made an overview image for anyone who might have missed any that were released already: Let's take this opportunity to discuss the state of mega evolutions in general...

Ever since GS added Dark and Steel, most of us have probably at some point entertained the idea of "what if ____ was added as a type?" And for quite a while, that topic has been slipping into the darkness, since it took a long time for GF to actually decide to add another new type, Fairy, in...

I've made an interesting observation lately. There is currently 2 games to look forward to: 1. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon 2. a Switch game For the first one, we roughly know what to expect. We know it's another main game entry extending the 7th generation. We know it's a follow-up to Sun and...

(remake = older pokemon game, basically "copy-pasted" into a newer (then current) generation. Meaning it has updated graphics and all the features/mechanics that were added/changed since. A minor amount of new content is added as well.) In my view, ORAS was one "remake" too many. HGSS was...

I've come to the conclusion that I've limited myself to thinking based on generation 5 too much in regards to generation 6 speculation (in that Z-themed games would end generation 6 before we move on). So let's take a few steps back. The first Pokémon sequels we've seen, were Gold & Silver...

With the previous corocoro promising actual info about the creatures from the latest movie teaser in this months issue... and the big drought of any main-game-announcement for so long (we thought May, because of ORAS-reveal last year, then we thought June @ E3, then after the Teaser was shared...

When XY came out, I started to take interest in what has become the "official battle format" for a longer while already: Double battles Last year even travelled across 2 borders to go to the german nationals just to see how that goes. And now I barely ever find myself thinking of "single...

I've had this idea for a while (and it especially hit me as a "solution" once I saw how disappointingly "cute" the Battle Resort in ORAS turned out to be) and wanted to share it with you guys. What if Gamefreak made a 3DS e-shop exclusive Pokémon game aimed at serious/competitive Pokémon...

With ORAS out of the way, the main game series has now got into a weird situation in regards to remakes. When the first remakes FRLG came out in 2004 (gen III), the original RG were 8 years old. After that, the logic was simple: next up were the next most outdated games (GSC, resulting in HGSS...

With Mega Rayquazas reveal, and a new bit of "myth" on the official site: Delta Emerald is clearly out the window now, as they would otherwise have kept both Rayquazas Mega a secret, and pretend Emerald never happened for the whole ORAS timeframe. So this thread is about discussing how they...

As you may or may not be aware, for the first time since GS, Gamefreak changed some the base stats for some pokémon in XY. It was only a minor change of +10 to a single base stat (except for Pikachu who got 2 stats increased). Some interesting notes: numbers of pokémon getting buffs from...

This is my latest attempt at a Fakémon project, with a region, a story and of course a fakédex (will include fakémon and Yfror variants of existing Pokémon). Summary / Progress The region is inspired by Iceland and its rough desolate landscapes. It has a big cold snow-covered mountain (covers...

Now that we've seen Litleos evolution (assuming its type stays the same), I'm still confused about Litleos/Pyroars type combo. Fire / Normal It's a Fire pokemon (to the point where it has a fire kanji symbol in the mane!), but then it is also some extra nothing special on the side? Am I...

I split these posts from the "How do you feel about the revealed Mega Pokémon and which new Mega Pokémon are you hoping to see?" thread. Discuss the Dragon-type here. *Drohn ---------- What is Dragon as a type about? Is it really simply about resemblence to depictions/descriptions of...

I've been thinking about how competitive play is all about switching to the right counters and outpredicting the opponents switches and switch to the right counter to their switch already etc...and I realized, this is probably not what gamefreak intended battles to look like, right? LOL...

Lets say Gamefreak wanted to try making another monster-franchise, sharing core aspects with Pokémon, but from scratch and as a completely unrelated fictional universe. They would have no limits set by "previous generations", complete freedom to deviate in any way they want. Don't think of...

I'm not a fan of the anime (I used to watch it sometimes just to make fun of all the errors, silliness and stupidity you can spot in each episode) and think its one of the main reasons Pokémon looks "childish" as a franchise to most people (who from my experience rarely even know there are...

So X&Y will include a new form of wild battles, hordes. What do you guys think is the point of these? I think that depending on whether they will be a common thing (at certain places?), or something very rare in general, is a big factor into whether they are an important mechanic or a...

Old post:

There are many ways that a group of Pokemon are related to each other. Some Pokemon are designed as equivalent pairs, polar opposites. Some Pokemon are recycled new versions of previous Pokemon, usually to replace their role in a different region. Some Pokemon have the same basis as a previous...
