Solgaleo (Steel/Psychic) appears to be a direct rip of one of the key figures in alchemy, the sun-eating lion. It's Steel as opposed to Fire-typing is again a clever alchemy-reference, as it was believed that burning metals were the easiest way to purify them, thus producing steel. (Sunsteel Strike, "Full Metal" Body.) The secondary psychic typing is an obvious reference to the duo's
Lunala is a bit more obscure in that there's no direct counterpart for it. It would appear to be a mix of the bat-winged moon (really obscure figure in astrology...

how did i not notice this
>>26896611
This just in grass is green!
>>26896611
I've seen someone suggest that Lunala is based around the symbolism of birds in alchemy (bats apparently being classified as birds in medieval times) to which they symbolize the souls journey to the afterlife. Something like this could explain its Ghost-typing.

Makes me feel estatic.
Finally, the Pokedex itself can tell Richard to fuck off. Pic related.
As long as it doesn't becomes Navi and has a bearable personality, it's cool with me
Happy Birthday Mew

I need a 6th wheel to my team. The 6th doesn't need to be as bad as these are, it just needs to fit the slot well enough.
Drifblim
Serperior
Sesmistoad
Scizor
Exploud
I was thinking Houndoom, but I'd like other suggestions. Preferably something with less weaknesses.
Pic unrelated.
Are you playing B2W2? Your team is already pretty balanced. If you want something with few weaknesses, a pure Electric type is handy. Dragon could be good, too, as neither Dragon nor Ice are common types, when it comes to both Pokemon and moves.
>>26896406
I'm actually playing OR, I recently got it. I was thinking about Kingdra because I know the person I'll be playing against loves Dragons and would never use Fairys. At the same (and obvious) time, I considered using a Fairy, but I haven't played since BW and down know which one I would use if I did.
>>26896769
Use a fairy.
If your friend "loves" dragons, expect at least 2 and some cheap ass moves.

For those who are as lost as I was, this is a glitch called acid rain. In fact, the cause of this madness wasn't having 3 Pokémon with Intimidate but having KO'd Dusknoir with Pursuit when it was switching while the TR was in effect. You can learn more on this here : http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Acid_rain
So now, tell me /vp/, what was YOUR most wtf moment with Pokémon ?
tl;dr : Just came upon a crazy glitch called "Acid Rain" by pure accident.

This video ended up in my suggested section on YouTube, don't know how, judging by how I'm the first person who viewed it apparently. But hey, kid seems to have a weird accent. I wish to study this strange and unusual accent he carries, and if he had 17,00 subscribers, it will probably make him make more videos. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2fU7Q-CgL4s
you have got to be kidding
>>26895831
Wow. Talk about lack of effort.
It's not that hard to figure out that the poster of this thread is the kid himself.
Pokemon game. We say a fact about a pokemon and others try to guess it. It can be from the anime, games, etc.
I'll start. This pokemon take lost souls to the spirit world.
>>26895739
Dusknoir!
>>26895748
Correct :)
>>26895766
This pokemon can learn many, many moves, but it can't learn Crabhammer.
Anybody here know what the exclamation point above the pokemon silhouette means?
>>26895706
It stands for a Pokemon that is not naturally part of the Hoenn region or not in the Hoenn Dex.
>>26895706
It's for Pokémon you can only find through the DexNav.
>>26895706
It's when you see a pkmn/move/ability for the first time
Imagine getting a remake of this with the S/M engine with the story getting more emphasis
>Blue gets more fleshed out
>more of a backstory given to receiving the starters from the trainers
>mewtwo + mew get a backstory akin to delta episode
>cubone/team rocket story is better told
>best villain, giovanni gets more of a role in the story and more characterization
Yellow remake when?
>>26895685
>Yfw Pokemon Yellow remake is fully voiced.
>>26895685
Might be cool.
I would rather see main game coming to PC tho.
>The game corner is remade into the Pokemon Stadium mini games
ITT: types you never use
In my case, i never use pure Normal or Fighting types, i find both boring.
>>26895633
Rock is probably the only type I've never actually used in the main game. Ground is just superior to it in every way.
Dragon type.
Extremely overrated type. Edgy designs without reasons and "just a dragon" origins. And its moves are ridiculous and useless.
>>26895633
I avoid Normal types like the plague. Literally the only exceptions are Chansy, Arceus, and Chatot.
