Looks like they came back for more


yeah
           yeah
               yeah

I'm shocked this went unappreciated

What about Great Teacher Onizuka


I remember my friend in school saying it was good

>his fucking name is Hit

Would it make it any worse if I told you his ancestral surname is Man

'Bearing that in mind, to turn things more interesting, we created DexNav, showing the Pokémon that could appear in the area. It was one of the main reasons for implementing that functionality. However, it's not that interesting or useful if there is a great variety of Pokémon. In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon there are many different kinds of Pokémon you can find, so we didn't implement the DexNav.'

just to start fucking babies with Activision?

>halo community drama

I'm surprised there's still a community to have drama about

I thought Halo was dead.

I don't follow it at all, but what little I've come across would suggest it was buried, but apparently not?

There's still a never-ending battle between the competitive and casual sides of the community who act as though Halo is still as popular as it was 10 years ago and that it's a very serious issue.

I thought Halo had become casualized and the actual competitive scene had been replaced by clickbaity Youtubers and 14 year olds

This is how the title looks to me

Spain
France
The Netherlands

Verb you seem creative with nicknames. What are some of your best/memorable ones from across the gens

I actually didn't start nicknaming my Pokémon until I started doing nuzlockes exclusively, to be honest, and I made that decision some time after Gen V. I did a little bit when I first started, but all my names were awful, poorly spelled, and based on a five-year-old's spur-of-the-moment vocabulary.

One time, I caught a Shellder, which I had never seen before, so I assumed that it was rare. When I caught it, I decided to name it "Lucky," but since I was five and didn't know how to spell, "Locke" was its name instead.

I've always had a habit of reserving good names for shinies, though. My first shiny ever was a Rattata that I found after years and years of playing Gen II (though, I don't even think Gen IV was out at the time). I gave him a name that I'm still pretty proud of to this day: Sterling, based on his "sterling silver" color palette (which doesn't make much sense anymore, since shiny Rattata look more greyish green now), the fact that I found him in Pokémon Silver, and the fact that the word means "something of high value." It was a perfect fit.

This eventually came full circle in Gen VII, when my first shiny was an Alolan Raticate. I had a pretty fun naming theme at the time (Hanna-Barbera cartoons), so I named her Chérie from Tom & Jerry, who was Jerry's love interest for one episode. It also matched her black cherry color palette.

When Gen IV was still fresh, I found a shiny Geodude out in the wild, which had been my fifth shiny in general. I named it Ragnarok, which was a term I picked up when I was looking up synonyms for "apocalypse" one day, and the "rock" pun seemed to fit.

He never became a Golem, though. Even though I had friends who played Diamond & Pearl, I have weird opinions on how trade evolutions should work. I don't like the idea of trading back after something evolves, because I always felt like that defeated the whole purpose of a trade.

During Gen V, I got REALLY into competitive battling on Showdown, so I kinda stopped playing Pokémon casually until they nerfed weather teams in Gen VI. When OR/AS came out, I tried to make rain teams great again with Mega Swampert, who I named Balrog (after the Street Fighter character), who I still use in my competitive team to this day. I don't take competitive battling as seriously anymore, though. Weather may have been stupidly OP, but it made it fun. Now, shit kinda sucks.

My shiny Hariyama in Ultra Sun is called Gautama, which is Buddha's first name.

Those are probably all of my favorite nicknames outside of Silver, to be honest. This Silver nuzlocke was honestly the first time I ever went all out on creativity without using a naming theme as a crutch, so I'm glad it went over pretty well.

That's p cool. I tend to give all of my Pokemon creative nicknames if I'm actually using them in the story or competetive. Sterling is a cool name, kinda makes me want to name my Dusk Mane Necrozma something similar now.

I remember a friend named his Palkia GAYFUCKIT, for some reason...

I feel like shinies need special consideration for nicknames, because they're fucking shinies.

I accidentally hatched a perfect shiny Technician that I named Kalashnikov because of Bullet Punch spam
Same thing for the Swablu that popped out while trying to breed a perfect Altaria, named it nugget because it reminded me of golden nuggets cereal.

Yooo what the fuck really?

Well shit, can I at least get the Moon stone from my mum?

Yep. Either from her, or the one sitting around in Tohjo Falls, which is accessible as soon as you get Surf.

Right, I get that after beating Morty I think


Hmmmmm should be fine then.

I'm trying to keep a somewhat balanced team that doesn't involve me just sweeping both regions with Feraligatr, which is what happened last time.

Currently my team is:
-Afrika (Croconaw)  - Because Toto = Africa, duh. Though I changed it to Afrika at Goldenrod because it sounded more exotic.

-Dweed (Weepinbell) - At work experience years ago, somebody had graffitied D'weed onto a bustop and it's always stuck with me. Bellsprout looks like a weed, so yeah.

-Garuda (Pidgeotto) -Some kind of ancient flying demon that sounded cool, really struggled with naming my Pidgey. Originally I named it Nevada but I didn't want Africa AND Nevada.

-Marko (Nidorino) - Nidoking is part Ground. Ground is like sand. There's a Spider-Man villain named Sandman. His surname is Marko.  Makes sense.

-Koko (Eevee) - It sounded cute and doesn't seem to not-fit with any of the possible evolutions



Yeah I occasionally reach pretty far with nicknames lmao

Is waiting on RNG really the best way to get a Moon/Leaf stone?

wait, are you playing crystal?

I'm playing Gold from the eshop. I just got to Ecruteak. From looking it up, it seems you get a Moon Stone from your mum shopping, and a trainer on one of the routes phones you if she finds a Leaf Stone?

I just don't wanna be stuck with a Nidorino and a Weepinbell for most of the game.

got some bad news for you: trainers calling and giving you items is only a thing in crystal

in gold and silver, the only way to get the elemental stones is via bill's grandfather in kanto

he gives them to you in a set order, and you only get one of each per game

it's probably of the worst thing about the games tbh

Yooo what the fuck really?
