Might come off as a really stupid question but I've not played Pokemon since 3DS days, and been reading through the reddit over the past few days and seen countless of posts mentioning genned/dupe Pokemon.
How do I identify them (been reading posts and trying to spot the difference of the posted screenshots but still don't manage to identify them)?
Reason I'm asking is because I'm planning to replay the gen 6&7 games I have downloaded on my 3DS (before eshop closed) that I found lying in my storage and eventually transferring them into Pokemon HOME so trying to understand / identify the potential traded pokemons through the app that I may eventually get.
Hey y'all, hope you're having a fun day. I wanted to ask a random question, that I have already asked similarly in r/MysteryDungeon and r/Eevee, but what is your own opinion about reasonable ships, most favorite ships or why some ships shouldn't work? The ships can be anything, from pokemon X pokemon, to pokemon X character, to character X character. Hell, it doesn't even have to be limited to just characters that are canon in the mainline games
The "test subject" is a jolly skill link Cloyster, icicle spear spammer.
Scope Lens was brought up to serve as a "damage boost" instead of going the (probably more traditional) route of using KR and hoping you can crit and don't suck.
WELL, I suck... And have had horrible luck with KR procing when I need it to and Scope Lens boosts chance to crit by 30% while KR only brings total to flinch to 41% TOTAL per 5 hits (8.2%) per hit.
i really genuinely love hearing people talk about their favorite pokémon it always puts a smile on my face i’ll go first
my favorite is dragonite, he has been ever since i was a little kid just something about him being a perfect mix of cool and cute :) everytime i see him in any medium; cards, the show, in game it makes me so warm inside i love that lil dude
Just what the title says. Sword and shield were my first introduction into the Pokemon games when I was 11 years old. Since then I’ve bought all the other Pokemon games on the switch and I’ve become obsessed with the franchise. If they were as trash as people say they were I don’t think I or any of the other younger fans who grew up with swsh would be as invested in the franchise nor do I think it would’ve sold as well. They’re not perfect but to a middle schooler who’s never played Pokemon they were entertaining
You beat the Elite 4 with your level 61 starter and are crowned champion.
Then you wake up in the post game, and the gyms have reset. You can now refight the gym leaders, either against their original lineup or level 80-90 "Champion" line ups.
The Champion line up is full 6 and are very challenging. They have new moves and really make things difficult.
Next, the Elite 4 and their teams at level 100.
After you win the 2nd time, the level cap is upped to 200. Once your pokemon reaches 100, their stats are saved for use in competitive play, but the stats keep growing as you continue to doing new game + all the way up to level 1000, with the Champion lineup increasing in levels with each newgame+
In addition, some legendary pokemon only spawn at higher levels, after so many new games.
I floated this concept to some gamer friends years ago and they were very upset at the idea of newgame+
I'd live to be able to fight all the gyms over and over - it would be so rad.
Eeeee
How would you treat a Pokemon like mewtwo assuming Pokemon are real and you catch it what do you even do with the guy I mean he’s built like a person so you can’t like take him on a walk or something or like make him a dog bed bros gotta have his own room which is weird af. But he’s also like kinda intelligent I feel like it would be mad awkward like the rest of my Pokemon are like toddler lvl intelligence then we got an actually human mind who’s treated the same way . I mean that’s how it goes whenever you catch him in the games at least like bro just Joins your party and never says anything agian poor guy fr
I haven't been playing pokemon for long, but when I do and it becomes difficult I either cheat (if possible) or just simply quit when the game becomes difficult. So I need games in the following order to train myself to pokemon, the games can be Rom Hacks, fan games, main series games or anything, they just have to be gba (preferably)>
Easy Game to start -> Slightly More Strategic -> Needs A lot Expertise -> Full Professional Level (you can add more levels this is just to explain)
Why is there so much hate for Typhlosion over the leaks? I've been meaning to ask about this for a really long time, but just kept forgetting, but I don't understand why Typhlosion is getting so much hate over something that is not canon. I understand that the leak was messed up, but I don't think that something that isn't even real in-universe should apply in any way. Can someone please explain the problem?
Hello all! I am indeed of your help!
I love Pokémon emerald because of the story and end game but I really want to play one that has charmander (and squirrtle and bulbasore) in it but also has the same improved graphics as emerald. I was looking at fire red but neither myself or any friends have played that one before, Any suggestions? Thank you in advanced for your suggestions!
So there is this new game out for the IOS called Hunting Park aka pocket pixel. So far the gameplay is pretty basic, it has a Nintendo switch feel to it. When you play it it almost feels like an emulator is downloaded to your phone. The graphics are pretty awesome, the Pokemon you are able to obtain goes up to gen 8 I believe. Your Pokemon can't level up past your players level. So you have to grind to level up Pokemon. Purchasing major pokemon seems to be the best way to get a awesome squad. I'd like to think I have a pretty modest squad with ho-oh, ursaluna, executtor & golem as my mains alongside blazekin and heracross all level 53(besides Luna 35). What do you guys think of the game?

Note to Moderators: Although this song was performed by someone else, I did do the rewrite and helped with some ideas in the arrangement).
So, for a long time, I've had the idea to rewrite the INXS song Mystify into a Pokémon context. It's one of those cases where the base idea is obvious (if you're familiar with both franchises), but the real "trick" is in the execution. I wasn't really sure what to do with it until after I saw the Detective Pikachu movie and thought, "what other characters could get this kind of treatment, and what would their tie-in song be like?", which gave me the idea to rework it as a female power anthem, with the idea that the performer could be addressing another person, a force of nature, whatever. I asked around to see who could record it (even contacting a few INXS tribute bands), and finally found Florencia here.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, what references you caught, etc.
I picked up a Switch Lite yesterday and have been hoping to try out some of the new games I've missed out on. I know the eShop and servers went down, but I was wondering if there was some way to still move them? I have 1,000ish mons between my copies of Sun and Ultra Sun I would like to move. I also have a copy of Alpha Sapphire I was going to start and while if I remember correctly Bank was out by Gen 6. I have a copy of Pearl I've half completed, but since I don't have a Gen 5 game I doubt I'd be able to move those ones. My 3DS does not have Pokemon Bank but if I am able to find someone with a console that does have Bank on it would it still be possible to transfer them? Would I need to connect to a certain server? I'm not very tech-savvy so sorry if this is a dumb question.
