Getting a mega stone in XY(Z)

Sycamore in the games: Oh you want a mega keystone? You know the thing the whole game is about? Well, you gotta get your ass over to this old grampa man and fight his ADHD granddaughter, get a Lucario, that will most likely just sit in your boxes. Then you have to fight to the death with your neighbor* over the ONLY spare one

*not literally

Sycamore in the anime: Oh you want a mega keystone? Why, I thought you would never ask! Here, (pulls out a keystone) have one of my 593 spare ones! ^_^

EMBOAR SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

[weaselandfriends]

A Minecraft Movie (movie)

The most shocking moment of this movie was during the opening credits, when it was revealed that Jason Momoa produced the film. It makes sense, then, why he gets top billing, even though Jack Black is the obvious lead actor of the film both in terms of narrative importance and screen time. The idea that this film of all films could be an actor's self-produced star project is baffling beyond belief, a suggestion that few people in Hollywood have even the faintest clue what they're doing. This film was in production hell for 12 years, bouncing between directors and actors and never going anywhere until Momoa was attached. Why? Guys, it's Minecraft. This movie was always guaranteed to gross close to, if not more than, 1 billion dollars, no matter who was on it, no matter how good it was, no matter what it looked like. The film on display is proof of that. So what was the holdup? Why was this not fast-tracked from the getgo? Why did it take a frankly random B-list actor to actually get this out the door?

Hollywood has always had a sneering relationship with video games, and to this day we still haven't gotten an actually good video game movie. It's bizarre that the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film, adapting one of the most popular and recognizable characters in the entire world, is not even evocative of its source material on a basic tonal or narrative level. It's bizarre that in the early to mid 00s there were about 12 video game movies made and they were all shitty horror movies adapting games of middling to severe obscurity. (Why is there an Alone in the Dark movie, and not a Halo movie?) 2002's Resident Evil even made money -- quite a lot of money -- and yet it still took two more decades for Hollywood to really understand the bankability of this medium and its properties. It wasn't really until Sonic the Hedgehog was an accidental mega-hit that it happened, and it's phenomenal to see how that trilogy evolves, its first film being a generic "Me and My Alien" Hollywood stock plot with Sonic half-heartedly draped on top of it (look at the original Sonic design for that film!) and only after becoming a proven success daring to earnestly engage with the source material narratively.

This can all partly be blamed on Nintendo, which after that aforementioned 1993 Mario debacle became traditionally Nintendo regarding this newfangled "movie" thing. Nintendo as a company only ever seems to make money on accident, and is sometimes allergic to the process; Detective Pikachu, their first tentative stab back into the medium, does perhaps everything in its power to turn the most money-generating franchise in the world into a flop. Why did they specifically adapt Detective Pikachu, a bizarre spinoff game nobody played? It's like if the Illumination Mario movie was based primarily on Mario Teaches Typing.

Well, I say that, but in many ways this movie (Minecraft, the movie I'm ostensibly reviewing) is like Minecraft Teaches Typing. The film is at turns nauseatingly conventional and bafflingly bizarre, emphasized by its two primary film influences being Lord of the Rings and Napoleon Dynamite. There is a strong 80s nostalgia bent to the film, despite Minecraft not being from the 80s and its target demo being younger than 9/11. Jason Momoa, actor-producer, seems to also not care at all about Minecraft, and just wants to do a story where he plays Billy Mitchell; he and Jack Black are also having an absurd amount of fun doing this, without much caring if anyone watching is having fun too, in a way that is strongly reminiscent of a fodder comedy offering like Year One or Your Highness. At least Jack Black says Chicken Jockey and turns into Herobrine for 1 second, so somebody somewhere had a finger on the pulse of The Kids. It's a testament to how little effort you actually have to do for these films, which only makes it more confusing why it took this long for anyone to do it.

After Sonic, Mario, FNAF, and now this, I imagine the floodgates are open. The MCU is out, video game movies are in; and with 40 years of cinema ignoring the medium, there's a lot of gold to mine before interest craps out.

Bro if you’ve ever watched the Pokémon xyz series then you know that Bonnie, little sister to Clemont, is going to grow up with an insane amount of power. Not only is her older brother a powerful gym leader, her father is also a vigilante with the power to mega evolve his blaziken. She is also friends with Serena, a rising idol, and Ash, who needs no explanation. She will have an incredible amount of prestige just by association with these figures. She will also be the safest little girl on the planet, unless you want to incur any of her protectors’ wrath. This also includes a ‘god’ Pokémon who she has earned the friendship of due to her carrying it around in her bag. Bonnie has also learned from these people in her life and has a bright future in Pokémon training. She’s going to be terrifying and I’m here for it

[trio-of-chaos]

I feel ya

What if greninja had a g-max form?

I think that would be cool

and a mega form (idc about this, battle bond is cooler tbh)

[xxtc-96xx]

Shadow Mewtwo is a beast, bro fought Mew for hours, then fought Huey, and Mega evolved Huey, and now Pig and the ghost gang, Shadow Two is a legit monster

Not to mention how fast he figured out to over-power her

Colin Week Day 7: Luke Newton is Awesome!!!

What I like a Luke Newton? Gimme 5 minutes. Or 10 minutes. I got this! 😤. I also written something similar on Twitter, but I'll extend it here.

Favourite moments with any member with Luke:

All the cast members hanging out with Luke is adorable. Jonathan Bailey and Luke Thompson treating Luke Newton as their lil bro. Simone Ashley being supportive of him (but gives a knowing side eye everytime he's with Nicola 😏). Claudia Jessie treating him like a brother (I heard from an interview that she'll rather have him as a brother than a love interest. She ain't gonna kiss him haha 🤣). Florence and Will being so happy to hang out with Luke as their older brother in real life. Pretty much everybody enjoys hanging out with Luke.

But Luke Newton with Nicola Coughlan together is so dear to me (not because I ship them! I do not! It's not my business to know their private lives, but it is my business to smile everytime I see them together for official pics). They have a beautiful platonic male/female relationship, as colleagues and besties. Similar to my own friendship with a dear male friend of mine, when we were maths study buddies at uni and besties. I always cherish the memories, even when he returned back to his home country. (As context, my dear friend has the personality of Nicola Coughlan, except he is a bit reserved and my lil idiot, social wise. While I have the personality of Luke Newton, and I love hugs!).

This one below when Luke and Nicola were on the world tour together starting at my home country, Australia, is the special one for me. Because booyah! Australia is finally mentioned! Except why Bowral?! That's too far from where I am. I live in a state just under New South Wales, and the capital city here is more popular than Sydney. 😒

What I like/love about Luke:

As what I mentioned previously above, my personality is 60% similar to him. So I feel content to see him representing for introverts struggling but passionate about life (yes Nicola too as I heard she is an introvert as well 🙂). Luke and I are both kind, friendly, shy, meek, curious, thoughtful and supportive. He's also my celeb crush. 😉

Career/role hopes for Luke:

Unrealistically, Luke Newton should start his side career of being the Pokemon Master in the Pokemon World Championships! To be the very best, like no one ever was! Unfortunately, I doubt he is a Pokemon fan. 😑 (He does play Fortnite though, so I'm gonna imagine he purchased the Zuko and Katara bundle for Avatar: the Last Airbender Fortnite edition).

Realistically, any role that suits him and excels him further in his recognition as an actor. He could be in any role and I'll root for him. I'll even be so giddy with excitement if he voices in a Studio Ghibli film (if they are planning for another movie); they are well known for hiring British actors to voice in these movies. But I'll see how it goes for him. :)))

What makes Luke the best Colin Bridgerton:

He allows me to see myself through him, an emotional and sensitive person with an uncertain purpose but is a romantic and determined to make things right. He also did help me understand that I'm a demisexual. Heh.

Finally, extra treatment for Luke:

As tribute for him, I'm gonna nickname my favourite Pokemon, Lucario (below), after Luke Newton in Pokemon Legends ZA! A worthy Pokemon for my celeb crush. (Also his name fits within the 12 character limit for naming Pokemon). I'm gonna start mega evolving my Lucario and have a Mega Luke Newton in my team! Because why not? :))

And that is the end of my Luke Newton is awesome analysis. :)))

Project R.E.X - W.I.N.E

Summary: Wild Intoxication, Nanite Exception

——————————————————

One day, during an otherwise completely regular afternoon, Rex came to César with a very serious question…

Can he, as the Revolutionarily Evolved Xeno-organism, get drunk? 

César taps his chin thoughtfully, genuinely intrigued by the question. "You shouldn't be able to, considering your nanites regulate and filter toxins... but theoretically, if you consume enough alcohol at a rapid rate, you mightoverride their processing speed."

Rex grins. "So you're saying there's a chance."

César’s eyes gleam with scientific curiosity. "Only one way to find out! We can design an experiment—test different alcohol types, monitor your vitals, observe your cognitive functions under various levels of intoxication—"

Rex groans. "Dude, I just wanna drink."

César claps his hands together excitedly. "Yes, yes, but for science , Rex! Imagine the breakthroughs! What if we discover an entirely new effect of your nanites?"

Meanwhile, Six, overhearing the conversation, rubs his temples. "You do realize you’re encouraging this, right?"

Bobo, sitting nearby with a beer in hand, snickers. "This is the best idea you’ve ever had, Doc. Let the kid live a little!"

Rex smirks and pats César on the back. "Alright, big bro. Let’s get me wasted in the name of science."

César grins back. "For science!"

Six sighs. "This is going to be a disaster."

——————————————————

César, his cheeks flushed from the wine, dramatically waves his glass in the air. “Did you know , Rex, that I am the smartest man in the world?”

Rex, equally red-faced and slurring, gasps. “No way! That’s crazy! I thought Iwas the smartest man in the world!”

César blinks at him, then gasps just as dramatically. “That means… we are the smartest brothers in the world!” 

He reaches out and shakes Rex by the shoulders. “Do you understand the significance of this?”

Rex nods solemnly. “Yeah, yeah… it means… uh… we gotta… build a robot .”

César slams his fist on the table. “YES. A huge one. A mega robot. With… with…” He squints as if trying to think.

“Lasers?” Rex offers.

César gasps. “With lasers!”

Across the room, Bobo is trying so hard not to burst out laughing, while Holiday is covering her mouth to stifle her giggles. Six watches impassively, but his shoulders shake just slightly.

White Knight, on the other hand, looks absolutely done. “This is exactly why we don’t let them drink,” he mutters, arms crossed in irritation.

Rex suddenly slaps the table. “CÉSAR! YOU’RE MY FAVORITE BROTHER.”

César wipes a fake tear from his eye. “And you, mi hermanito, are my favorite test subject.”

There’s a pause. Then they both howl with laughter.

Bobo finally loses it and falls off the couch, cackling. Holiday wipes away a tear, shaking her head. “This is adorable .”

Six just sighs. “Tomorrow morning, they’re going to regret everything .”

Still swaying slightly, Rex blinks blearily at César. “Wait, wait, wait… so you’re telling me…” He leans forward, nearly toppling off his chair. “That I was always meant to be the cure?”

César nods slowly, as if the movement takes all his concentration. “ Sí, sí… your nanites, mi hermanito , they are… how you say…” He snaps his fingers clumsily, searching for the word. “Perfect.”

Rex snorts. “Ha! First time I’ve ever been called that.”

César wags a finger at him. “No, no, no, listen—your nanites, they’re the only ones that work exactly as we designed. All the others, they… unstable. Dangerous.” He sighs dramatically. “Like, ah, a beautiful experiment gone terribly, terribly wrong.”

Rex frowns, the alcohol making him unusually contemplative. “So that means… I was built to fix the mess you guys made?”

César ponders this for a moment before nodding solemnly. “Sí.” Then he hiccups. “But also, you were adorable in your tube.”

Rex chokes. “What?”

César claps his hands together, eyes gleaming. “Adorable, Rex! You were so tiny, all floating in there with your little oxygen mask!” He gestures wildly. “Like a little, uh… baby astronaut! ”

Rex groans, running a hand down his face. “Oh my God, stop.”

But César is already on a roll. “ Ay, que lindoooo! I used to tap on the glass to see if you’d react, but you just floated there! My little baby blob !”

Rex throws his head back and howls with laughter. “BLOB?! I was a blob?! ”

“Yes!” César exclaims, nearly knocking over the wine bottle. “A tiny , little, squishy blob!” He presses his hands together as if cradling something. “And I thought, ‘Wow , I made the cutest little biochemical weaponever!’”

That’s it. Rex is gone . He slams his hands on the table, wheezing with laughter, barely able to breathe. “I hate you! I hate you so much! ”

César, equally drunk and delighted, wipes at his eyes. “No, you don’t! ”

Across the room, Bobo is rolling on the floor in hysterics. Holiday is barely holding it together, her face buried in her hands as she shakes with silent laughter. Even Six has the ghost of a smirk.

White Knight, however, has never looked more exhausted in his life . He pinches the bridge of his nose. “I swear, if they ever drink again—”

Rex, still gasping for breath, waves him off. “Nah, nah, I promise, next time we’re also getting you drunk, Jefe.”

White Knight scowls. “Over my dead body.”

——————————————————

Rex wakes up feeling… perfectly fine. In fact, he feels great . He stretches, cracks his neck, and hops out of bed like it’s any other morning.

César, on the other hand? A complete disaster.

Slumped over the kitchen table, his face buried in his arms, César groans like a dying man. “Dios mío…” He flinches as if the sound of his own voice hurts. “Why did I let you talk me into this?”

Rex, pouring himself a glass of orange juice, smirks. “Dude, you were the one who made it an experiment. I just wanted to see if I could get drunk.” He takes a long sip, perfectly refreshed. “Turns out, nope. Total bust.”

César lifts his head just enough to glare at him. His bloodshot eyes are framed by dark circles, and his hair is sticking up in every direction. “How are you fine?”

Rex shrugs. “Nanites, man. Apparently, they make me immune to hangovers.” He grins. “Sucks to be you, though.”

César groans again, flopping back down. “I hate science.”

Bobo, munching on a banana, snickers. “This is the best morning ever. ”

Holiday walks in with a bottle of water and some painkillers, placing them in front of César. “Drink. You’re severely dehydrated.”

César barely musters the strength to grab the bottle. “Gracias, mi ángel. ”

Holiday smirks. “Don’t get used to it.”

Meanwhile, White Knight walks in, takes one look at César’s pitiful state and Rex’s annoyingly chipper mood, and sighs deeply.

“I told you both this was a bad idea.”

Rex just grins, taking another sip of his juice. “Totally worth it.”

[salon-maiden-anabel]

figuring out teams for characters who dont have canon teams/only partially full kinda fun sometimes .

I already have talked abt Argenta's team previously bc of CiaCM but im still sticking to my decisions . Meganium specifically is her old starter/possibly child of her original starter? still trying to decide. But Meganium is just such a Her pokemon to my brain in no way i could explain. Same with ninetales it just feels right. Dragonite from the tcg cards and Skarmory from pokemas. Apharos and Floarzel have less explanation else then the vibes just felt right for her

thorton bottom text. Most are from pokemas/one a reference to pokespe team. Rotom just Feels like a thorton 'mon and Cyclizar just feels right in my heart

Darach keeps his canon 5 + gains Haxorus as once again. Trust Me Bro.

Dahlia swaps out Medicham for Quaquaval ! It fits her dancing theme to a t as a fighting type more then Medicham. and also the more i can ignore medicham the better. Gourgeist and Dragapult reserves have just been smtn ive been thinking abt for a couple years now. Which accidentally means she has a lot of ghost types lol

Palmer doesn't change his team. lmao

for the hoenn brains i don't think most of them would shuffle their teams too much and stuff down the line but i do have Thoughts abt additional pkmn they'd have. Specifically how much Greta with a Zoroark would suck so severely it should be banned from the Battle Arena. which is exactly why she should have one. Same logic for Aegislash. "How would she have a Sneasler?" how do half these people have the legendaries they canonically have. Its free real estate.

Tucker's is mostly just following his trend of pokemon that would all later receive mega evolutions bc HOW did all his canon mon receive them. He's the reason the battle frontier didn't return /j

behold the worlds most unique Brandon team /j. Anyways all canon mon else then Gimmighoul which just FEELS like a brandon pokemno but specifically not a fighter. It just sits in his office and torments Samuel

Lucy is Lucy. Lucy has snakes. I imagine Serperior would run a contrary based set to rough up people unprepared. The entire second row are non-combat pokemon though! Arbok being an old pokemon from her youth who was already old when she caught him and is now a little too under the weather to battle all the time. Dunsparce. Typhlosion Mamoswine and Skitty are based off some of her anime-only housecats but i let the first two evolve over time! Skitty is a menace to society. Skitty will make everything Your issue. Lucy refuses to accept anyone trying to tell her that her Skitty is the worlds biggest problem causer skitty.

Noland. Running out of things to say. Gestures with my hands.

I have not added any new pokemon to Anabels list of pokemon. She just has so fucking many between sun/moon and the anime originals

However. That was Fallerbel. Mega-timeline/non eeby deebied Anabel gets a different team layout then her since their life experiences after a certain point are completely different

Spenser gets a Tangrowth bc that just feels right. Given its been a little over 10 years im not sure he works at the frontier anymore though that man is over 100 :sob:

I'm still to this day deciding who takes over the Battle Palace in his place [ive been thinking abt wally but am mortified of being accused of copying other people :sob: so i gotta think] But since Anabel gets deebied to megaverse theres a spot open in the Tower for a new Tower Tycoon so. Slaps oc that needs to be redesigned so badly in here, Dia. She's Perrin's cousin but i created her before Perrin existed :sob: so feeling meh on her design. Anyways.

Legends Z-A Thoughts and Theories!

Okay, I was pretty quiet on my opinions for Scarlet and Violet, but I'm confident enough to be very pleased and optimistic for this! Legends Arceus was the strongest Pokemon game we had in a decade, and to see them continue this, bring back Megas, and take an extra year to hopefully make it non-buggy? Makes me so so excited!

On Megas:

It's a bit of a surprise to see Megas back, but honestly? Not too much of a surprise. Even ignoring the inevitability of Kalos remakes, Megas are the only gimmick Pokemon kept around in their spinoffs. It was in Mystery Dungeon, Shuffle, Smash Bros, Pokemon Go, and probably more I'm forgetting! So it was always in the back of Gamefreak's mind and I'm glad it's truly back again!

With Gens 8 and 9 bringing back cross-gen evos, I think they'll focus on only giving Megas to three-stage lines, to not quash the potential of 2nd stage Pokemon getting regular evolutions. So starters and Pokemon like Flygon can get Megas since they can't evolve further, but Pokemon like Tropius and Chimecho probably won't, in case they get evolutions in Gen 10 (That then get Megas)

I also don't think we fully grasp how many more Pokemon can get Megas now, too. Barely any of Gen 5 and 6 had Megas (Seriously only 2 Pokemon between the 228 Pokemon in those gens) and we've had THREE more generations since then!!

Note: We went from wanting a Dunsparce evo, to wanting a Dunsparce Mega, to getting Dudunsparce with mixed fan reception. Now I'm going to be a selfish deluded clown bitch and get my hopes up for a Mega Dudunsparce.

Speaking of starters and Megas, do we think we'll get a mish-mash of older starters for this game that then get Megas (Say, Piplup, Snivy, and Scorbunny) or will we get Megas for the three Kalos starters?

Megas may mean Mega Stones return as held items, and held items weren't in Legends Arceus- new gameplay advancement?

Legends Arceus gave us 7 new Pokemon (most of them cross-gen evos) and a dozen new regional forms. Do you think we'll still get regionals this game, or will the design team be focused more on making new Megas instead?

On the world:

It's been confirmed the whole game is only in Lumiose City- how big is the map?? Hopefully we really do get lots of sidequests, biomes for wild Pokemon, and traversal options.

When is this? We're redeveloping Lumiose City, but are we in the past developing it into its current state, or are we in the present/future developing it into a new solarpunk city? Or neither, and this is a "Paradox" game set in a timeline which doesn't quite match ours?

This doesn't have to be an isekai (as in, we don't have to be time travellers again per se), just keep that in mind!

The "Z" in the logo represents Zygarde, with the black color and green hexagons. So who's the "A"? It's green with green scale/leaf patterns on it. What does it represent? The "Chaos" to Zygarde's "Order"? Is it a 5th Zygarde form or is it a whole new Pokemon?

Meta thoughts:

This further confirms my theory that Gen 9 will last until 2026, where they announce Gen 10 on that year's Pokemon Day for their 30th anniversary, and that's great! I'm glad they aren't overworking themselves too much compared to Gens 6-8.

On them "skipping" Unova remakes: I don't see this as skipping. We've been long overdue for a Z version since Kalos is literally the only Pokemon region to only appear in one release (no third version, no remakes, no sequels, no ultras, no DLC). So we're simply making up for the "deficit" of a third version here, and we can go back to focusing on Unova remakes for Gen 10.

Do you think we'll get any final updates to SV to tide us over until the next LegendZ trailer around August? Maybe a small DLC, mythical reveal, or free update?

Pokemon Adventures skipped the last Legends game, so they'll probably skip this one too? I'm fine either way- at least by skipping it, they won't be too rushed and stressed, and they'll actually have the time to flesh out SV and catch up with ORAS/SM/USUM/SwSh in the full volumes.

But on the off chance they do adapt Legends Z-A, do you think we'll get dexholders named Z and A??

Note for the future- the Yoasobi Pokemon song BiriBiri has a part where they namedrop all the game titles- one part has the lyrics "ABC to the XYZ". Long shot, but if Legends Z-A does indeed have an ABC theming, this could be a crazy bit of either coincidental or intentional foreshadowing!

Alright more Smash Bros headcanon time!

Samus’ friendship. Samus is very closed off, its hard to break her walls, but she is caring and has a strong maternal instinct (like with The Baby). In the first Smash game, she tried to keep her emotions hidden, but a little boy woth psychic powers that let him see right through that broke her walls. And she did bond with the others. But she still didn’t want to show she cared. Why? Ridley. Ridley is in every smash game. In Smash 64, he’s in the background of a stage. In Melee he’s in the intro and part of a stage. In Brawl he’s a boss. In 4 he’s a stage boss. In Ultimate he’s playable. And Ridley is pure evil. He’s not just some monster, he’s highly intellegint, sadistic, he often does things just for the joy of seeing others suffer, and he has a grudge against Samus. She doesn’t want him to find out about the friendships she has, so they don’t get hurt. Its part of why she’s so closed off in the first place. But with her only friends being the original 12 (Ness being the closest to her) in Melee, it seemed her circle would continue to be small. And then Brawl happened. Well, first, Melee’s Pichu evolved and Subspace happened and they bonded. That’s obvious. Ness introduced her to his friend Jeff, who became an Assist Trophy. But there was a newcomer who clung to her. A little angel named Pit. Pit doesn’t do well on his own, as seen in Kid Icarus: Uprising. And Palutena just gave him the bow and then left. But being Pit, he recognized Samus as being from a “sister game” (Uprising is filled with fourth wall breaks like that and it is true). So he clung to her, even called her “sister”. And it was endearing and he earned her trust.

She was also on edge during Brawl because of one of the Subspace bosses having history with one of her friends, and thus she was around Ness alot more, being protective, and Pit was there too because of course he was.

Then in Smash 4, Pit was very happy to introduce her to Palutena and Dark Pit. And she got along better with Dark Pit than Palutena, often agreeing with Dark Pit on things like the nature of the gods and stuff. And later to newcomer Lucina, whom he befriended. And a little humanoid robot mistook her for being like him. It took Rock Light, a.k.a Mega Man, way longer than he’d care to admit to find out she was human. But before that, well, he thought she and R.O.B were the only ones like him aside from the other Mega Mans that appear in his Final Smash, and so he tried to befriend her, despite the cold exterior. And it worked.

In Ultimate, Paula and Poo join Ness’ final smash, so she meets them. And Blues Light, a.k.a Proto Man, joins Mega Man’s final smash, and she also gets along with him (he’s pretty similar to Dark Pit in many ways, but not the same). But with more villains in the roster and assist trophies, she still has her walls up

That’s sweet, I love it a lot!! It fits well for Samus considering she hasn’t been close to any of the smashers until now

Horizons Episode 33!! Wow this was a good one

AMETHIO!!!!! He's back :D and apparently they're following Rayquaza and found it! Looks like he's going it alone, Zir and Conia are on standyby in case anything happens. And looking back at the previews.... somethings gonna happen. He's going in with just a Corvinknight and a Ceruledge. His ass is not surviving.

A cool shot of the RVT and Rayquaza. Arcues he's huge. This is not a fight you want in on. And it's still got it's tera form on, what is up with that (can it mega evolve with it or no???)

Roy no-

Well okay it's his dream to catch it again cuz well... it did come out of his pokeball that his grampa gave to him. If I had a unique legendary come out of mine I'd be down to catch it again so really I can't say much.

On the other hand, Terapagos is making some noise too and now Liko is getting nervous which I can't blame her. Rayquaza is one of the stronger legendries out there so you really don't want it's full attention on you. And it appears to be angry af so uhhhhhh maybe we should, ya know. Run?

Haha. No :) I highly doubt it.

Oh that cannot be good.

Again, bro is fighting this bitch with nothing more than a Corvinknight and a Ceruledge. You are not surviving this Amethio, chill. Have you even looked at the type matchups? Geez kid.

But again, he's like.... very much looking for validation in the Explorers after not managing to get the pendant, and now they've shifted to Rayquaza cuz well.... bigger target and also very powerful, one of the Siz Heroes of Lucius (who I still suspect was killed by one of them long ago (seriously if it isn't what happened I'll eat paper))

Also btw the music was fire this episode, love what they had going on.

Oh he is not that far away from them okay.

Sequences that make me wanna scoop these kids up (specifically Roy) in a blanket and just get outta here.

He's really pushing it now, Rayquaza has been his whole goal this whole way. It's the reason why he even joined the Rising Volt Tacklers, and by god he's gonna get that fucking dragon back no mater what.

On Liko and Diana's side of things, they realize that Terapagos it trying to talk to the giant angry dragon but it won't fucking work cuz well it's a tiny little turtle with no powers of it's own here and well, as Diana said in the screenshot, it's just too riled up to notice Terapagos.

Also there's so much that y'all are missing here cuz I cannot take that many screenshots or even make gifs so uhhhh watch the show trust me there's a lot going on.

Speaking of moments that would be so enhanced with gifs....

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT CERLUEGDE IS FUCKED.

So Amethio realizing that attacks from the ground just aren't working on it and Rayquaza can just dodge them easliy, deicded to get Ceruledge to hop onto Corvinknight and LAUNCH ITSELF onto the dragon to get a hit in at the least.

Only for Cerulegde to go from "Swords of Regrets" to "Face of Regrets" as it realizes that move did fuck all and then the poor thing gets thrown onto another rock outcropping.

AND THIS FUCKING DRAGON BEAMS THE GUY MULTIPLE TIMES GOOD LORD CHILL MY GUY.

And Amethio in a panic just hops onto Corvinknight to check on his Pokemon, who is most definitely out of the fight now.

I see why Kyogre and Groudon decided to retreat instead of fighting back in the games now. Homie does not hold back.

And apparently there's an image limit of 30 so I'll brb with a reblog oh god this episode was PACKED

Smash Bros Ulimate. Target Idia

Elisa:*gasp* How can you accuse your little sister of that, I was just showing the others on what to do during this. Beside you technically fly as Dark Pit, you’ll be fine. Besides, I did say anyone could after anyone so, who ever you want to technically punch in real life, just have your character attack that person’s character. And no one actually gets hurt. WIN WIN AM I RIGHT!

[Yeah, she isn’t surprised to soon see on screen, literally all the other characters on screen started to go after each other. Huh, they must definitely been wanting to screw each other over a lot since being stuck here in STYX(Not that she can blame Riddle, Leona, Azul, Jamil, and Vil feeling like that. They were technically kidnapped, which also explains why they are also making sure Idia is targeted too). Ortho has Megaman target Incineroar aka Leona’s character, by having Megaman use his mega buster on Incineroar. And Riddle had Robin charge up his neutral special to the max and than, “THORON” that massive energy beam pretty much hitted all the other characters on stage expect to Joker and Megaman who Elisa and Ortho are playing as]

Riddle: Oh look at that, I got everyone but Elisa and Ortho attacked by thoron

Azul: That seemed like quite a lucky shot there if I say so myself. Like you somehow know what to do exactly, especially since no one except Elisa and perhaps even Ortho had played this before

[Riddle than had a very strained smile after this particular comment]

Riddle: I have no idea what you are talking about. It’s probably just beginner’s luck

[Yup, this is going to evolve into chaos since the point of the game is to your characters attack your opponent and try not to get launched off the stage]

Elisa: FIGHT! AHAHAHAHA

[Oh right, Elisa also technically was drinking a bunch of caffeine too. It’s probably be a nightmare for pretty much everyone in this room]

Idia, mutters: I'm just the solo target then...

Footballers as pokemon trainers, pt4!!!

Today's edition: Rashford, Mbappe and Haaland!

tags: @addictivewhispering @liverpool-enjoyer @lonely-salamander

Marcus Rashford

I believe Rashford has a hard, yet laid-back approach to battling. He definitely uses his favorite first, not the "best" and he doesn't push his Pokemon to their limits, he just lets them play to their best. But he doesnt have mercy on his opponents, that's for sure.

Houndoom

His starter. It's a devil dog (Man United) and Rashford actually has a dog that looks just like Houndoom. I also think it reminds me of how he plays, because he's just...powerful ig? Also it can mega evolve, which is alwas cool.

2. Volcarona

Volcarona is an almost mythical Pokemon, and I feel like Rashford was approached by a Larvesta (baby form) when he was young, because it sensed his pure soul (lets not act like Marcus isn't one of the purest footballers out there) and joined his team. It's also a fire type, as well as it represents the Sun, much like how Ten Hag builds his team around Rashford and planets revolve around the sun.

3. Delibird

And then Rashford just carries around this fucking thing. Because it's a cheerful giver.

Kylian Mbappe

One word: Speed. Mbappe plays for Speed and nothing else. His Pokemon are trained for speed as well. They're fast and that's all that matters to him. He likes them too I swear

Squirtle

Yeah I had to. This is 100% his starter. France blue and gold, it's a turtle, it's a prominent Pokemon, and it's the fastest out of all turtle Pokemon. It learns Shell Smash, a move that doubles your speed and attack in return for halving defense. Which sounds like something Mbappe would do, let's be honest. I think this is legit perfect for him lol.

2. Persian

A very speedy and expensive Pokemon. You know how supervillains are always petting a cat in their lap? Yeah that's Persian. I think it's funny to give this to football's biggest cartoon "supervillain".

3. Jolteon

Mbappe definitely would own an Eeveelution. It's just such a...main character Pokemon to have? And Jolteon is very, very fast, just like him.

Erling Haaland

Attack. All out attack. Push your opponents to the ground and attack.

Baxcalibur

A big buff attacking Pokemon with one strat only (Dragon Dance with no fear of burn because of Thermal Exchange) that's an Ice type from the mountains is the perfect starter for Erling. Baxcalibur is also my least favorite pseudo legendary so Haaland gets him because fuck haaland bro

2. Mega Ampharos

Look at that hair.

3. Garganacl

Haaland plays Minecraft. I love that. This is the minecraft blocks Pokemon.

[atlasofthestaars]

What do you think the mk1 characters pokemon would be? (in earthrealm since i dunno if outworld could have pokemons)

IMO bihan could have a glalie or something lol and liu kang would maybe have a shiny gyarados.

oh god I did a whole list for pokemon I associate with genshin characters let me do this for mk1. I'll try to explain my thoughts as best I can but these are pokemon I just kinda think would fit with them, whether it be oh them as a pokemon or a pokemon I think would work with them well.

Liu Kang - Reshiram

He's a god, I just HAD to give him a legendary pokemon. Reshiram fits both the dragon and fire stuff he is associated with. Plus Reshiram being the pokemon representing truth makes sense (though I kinda think ideals fit better for Liu Kang, I like the matching with Reshiram more).

Sub Zero - Chein-Pao

I like the ice vibe with this pokemon, and the description feels like it vibes enough with me. "The hatred of those who perished by the sword long ago has clad itself in snow and become a Pokémon." Idk!! I think he'd look neat with it :).

Scorpion - Centiskorch

I tried to incorporate some ideas of bug into the pokemon since the existing scorpion pokemon aren't that funky imo. I had to go with a fire type because, yeah, so this is what I settled with. I think I could have done better but eh none of the other fire pokemon imo fit his vibe.

Kitana - Oricorio Sensu form

Elegant, has flying elements, matches with the new feather aesthetic they put in 1, and the wings kinda look like fans! I think it's neat :)

Johnny Cage - Incineroar

This is mostly because of smash bro's influence but this pokemon is a heel archetype. They're showy, cocky, and like to taunt others! I think it kinda works. There's probably another show offy pokemon that's slipping my mind though.

Kenshi - Honedge

I wanted to give him Aegislash but there is no shield on Kenshi so oh well LMAO. I also think that the pokedex entry fits well "Honedge’s soul once belonged to a person who was killed a long time ago by the sword that makes up Honedge’s body." So yeah!!

Kung Lao - Honchkrow

I'll be honest. It's just the hat. But I think this man could use a funky bird. Idk!! I think he'd like a bird :)

Mileena - Mawile

I like the steel theming along with the jaw parts in Mawile. I thought it'd be neat to give Mileena a pokemon that can mega evolve since despite how cool it looks it apparently hurts them, which fits with Tarkat. "It has an extremely vicious disposition. It grips prey in its two sets of jaws and tears them apart with raw power."

Raiden -Jolteon

Had to go with an electric type. Idk! I think the idea of Raiden turning from a simple farmer (think eevee) and turning into an electric user fits!

Rain - Slowking

I had to go with a water type, and i also went with a psychic type because of the whole mage thing! I think the pokedex entry would appeal to Rain's ambition well too, "When its head was bitten, toxins entered Slowpoke’s head and unlocked an extraordinary power."

Smoke - Torkoal

Has the ability white smoke, and can learn smoke screen. Idk! I think it fits better than stunky line or wheezing line. There's not much in the way of pokemon with a smoke theme.

Li Mei - Arcanine

It's the pokemon (well, growlithe is) that is associated with the police in the pokemon world. That, and it kind of resembles a tiger which is part of the lion dog she uses. I do wish there was a better pokemon that is closer to fireworks than Blacepheon but oh well.

Baraka - Mega Houndoom

I like the idea of a leader of the pack pokemon, one that is dark type. I made the idea of a pokemon that is mega permanently since it fits with the whole "thing that is hurting them" and when it is mega evolved houndoom can hurt itself with how hot it's inner temperature can get. "Its red claws and the tips of its tail are melting from high internal temperatures that are painful to Houndoom itself."

Tanya - Tsareena

Thought it'd be appropiate to give her a pokemon that is a female only line. I also think it'd fit her being a more "ruthless" pokemon to match her willingness to fight those who might hurt the royal family "This feared Pokémon has long, slender legs and a cruel heart. It shows no mercy as it stomps on its opponents."

Geras - Celebi

I thought it'd be cool to give him a mythical pokemon since he's pretty close to godhood/will become the next keeper of time. That, and the whole time thing fits too.

Reptile - Krookodile

Crocodile, that's pretty much it.

Havik - Staryu

It fits the whole regeneration thing. "As long as the center section is unharmed, it can grow back fully even if it is chopped to bits." and "An enigmatic Pokémon that can effortlessly regenerate any appendage it loses in battle." Also I think it's a nice call back to when Chaosrealm worshipped water

Ashrah - Togekiss

I thought it'd be nice to give a pokemon that looks like an angelic theming (well, as close as it gets). Idk I think they'd get along :)

Sindel - Exploud

Screaming. Uh, that's really it! I also think it fits her commanding prescence I guess haha ^^ I couldn't find a pokemon that fits her hair thing so we're going with her screaming.

Shao - Bisharp

It commands pokemon, and looks like it fits the vibe of a general as well! Plus it'd match with his axe. "This pitiless Pokémon commands a group of Pawniard to hound prey into immobility. It then moves in to finish the prey off."

Nitara - Gliscor

Resembles a vampire bat. Also according to Legends Arceus, it does this: "It glides soundlessly on pitch-black wings and sinks sharp fangs into the throat of its prey. It takes on a look of satisfaction once it has entirely drained its prey of blood."

Shang Tsung - Arbok

Snake theming. I also like how the stomach can be used to transfix others and to intimidate them so it can poison others. Feels befitting.

Reiko - Pawniard

Fits the whole thing with Shao's pokemon and how it is loyal and ruthless. Follows him no matter what, I think it makes sense to me.
