You don't need to have particular love for the Japanese names to dislike names when they're new.



The fact is you'll get used to them, and even if you'll still dislike them, they just won't seem that bad anymore. Everyone (you probably included) thought exactly the same about the current Pokémon when their English names came out, too.



People don't need to love every aspect of the new games, but I really wish people would be more realistic about why they dislike whatever; personally I think the names sound silly and hated the new Pokémon, but I also remember that I thought exactly the same of the second and third and fourth generations and I don't even try to delude myself into thinking this time won't be exactly the same. I've already completely warmed up to the fifth-generation Pokémon after actually seeing and using them in-game, and I have no doubt that the names will grow on me as soon as I've played the translation.



Then excessive negativity bothers me in general. A lot of people (not actually accusing anyone in particular here, just speaking in general) seem to dedicate their lives to raging about things that they hate instead of enjoying the things that they love, and that's just plain sad. If you dislike the names, just say so, shrug and move on to thinking about something that actually makes you happy instead of wallowing in your dissatisfaction, for the sake of your own sanity. I don't get how people can live when they seem to spend all day actively being unhappy.

Rude, offensive or otherwise inappropriate messages, including drama, controversy or other topics that might make others uncomfortable, will be deleted on sight. Repeat troublemakers will be banned altogether. You can use BBCode (forum code) to format your messages.

Yes; click the "Options" tab next to "Found Favorites" and then check "Regional variants" under "Include forms". Note that by default they will be classified as the generation that introduced the regional variant (e.g. VII for Alolan forms); if you're also filtering by generation and would like to see regional variants of the Pokémon in that generation, you'll also want to select "Count forms as generation of base Pokémon" instead of "generation of introduction".

Is there a way to get regional variants in the Pokémon Picker?

In Colosseum, once you've purified all the Shadow Pokémon, you can get a Ho-Oh by clearing Mt. Battle in Battle Mode. I don't think anything like that is unlocked when you've purified every Pokémon in XD, though it has been a long time.

Could you add a custom time limit option for answering in order to make it more challenging? Like only having 10 seconds to answer or something similar

Late, but this was such a CURSED April Fool's idea, it's delightful! In hindsight I totally should have anticipated that you might do something in this vein. I can see what you meant about the writing part being a bit tricky. You did a nice job of keeping it ambiguous about whether you were talking about a human baby or a literal caterpie through the early part of the page. You also absolutely nailed the skeezy mom-influencer vibes!

There are some nice stories here (and some less nice ones), but you know what the people really want? "The Type Chart." The Pokémaniacs of the world DEMAND a conclusion to the greatest "Matrix" parody of 2003 … it can't be any worse than "Revolutions" was!

Nah. Every Pokémon has the same chance of appearing.

galvantula77

stupid question: is it harder to find legendary Pokémon or Ultra Beasts compared to common Pokémon in these messages?

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to make "nidoran" be a correct answer for both nidoran male and female, since I assume most people don't have the male or female sign on their keyboard

CaterpieTok is lit 💪 I acquired ten new anxieties in just five minutes of scrolling.

"And she had great IVs first try, too!"

Do you have to reset the egg hatching or do you have to go back to a pre-egg state entirely?

"(If you're having a hard time leveling up your Caterpie, try the Route 5 Day Care! Free trial up to level 5 with coupon code CATERPIE!)"

Amazing! Personally I prefer the Exp. Share! Every time I defeat my enemies in combat, Caterpie is right there learning from my work.
