I think one of my biggest gripes with the Pokemon series.
I'm not even talking about this from a "gender norms" angle, I'm just mad that every time I want a shiny Gallade (a Pokemon I like infinitely more than Gardevoir), I either have to find a way to hunt him specifically, or catch a shiny Ralts and pray to God I won the coin flip (of which I have lost multiple times before). It's worse because it feels a lot less justified than others. Combee makes sense to only evolve into Vespiquen if female because only female bees become queen bees. With Gallade, you already have the criteria, just make it so that a Ralts only evolves into a Gallade with a Dawn Stone. submitted by /u/Aggravating-Door1710 to r/pokemon [link] [comments]

Pokemon Champions is a pathetic excuse of a game
Seriously, it feels like EVERYTHING about the player experience was sacrificed for monetization. For a game that claims to be both an introduction to VGC and an accessible platform for VGC to be played for years, it fails to deliver in being either. Oh, did you want more than 30 Pokemon at a time? Pay them 7 dollars to get 60, which isn't even close to enough space either. Oh what's that? You don't own every single Pokemon game and just want a specific Pokemon? Have fun rolling the gacha and hoping you find what you want, and not fucking Simisear. Awww, did you want to use Choice Band on your Basculiegon? Just give them 3 months to add it to the battle pass, when every item should've been available from the start. Oh dear, did you not like our f2p slop game? Too bad if you want to play VGC, because they're FORCING YOU to play this half baked game until they realize no one actually likes the game, and have to go back to playing in the mainline series. I was actually going to get into playing proper VGC this year, but with this game as the host? The game that's supposed to INCREASE VGC's popularity? It's turning people away from actually taking the plunge. I feel like the outrage simply isn't as loud as it should be for this farce of a game. Is this sounding right to anyone? submitted by /u/Substantial_Zone2701 to r/stunfisk [link] [comments]

RE:If a movie was made based on Scarlet/Violet, which ancient pokemon?
Either Koraidon or the other one Miraidon if a good movie based on Scarlet/Violet do you think would be in the movie. Cant have both of them since two of them having the same origin wouldnt make sense. You can have only one of them in the movie. also in the Scarlet/Violet movie would you want to see Arven's dog pokemon be sick and be lazy the whole time?

Nintendo & The Pokemon Company’s new patents are vile.
The Pokemon Company and Nintendo’s new patents: US Patent 12,409,387 B2 and US Patent 12,403,397 B2 Please do go read them for yourself, some of the language may be misinterpreted by me, but I will do my best. Nintendo just wrapped up and had their new patent approved today and the other approved last week. Many different gaming related media channels, articles, and forums are speaking out about these patents and that Nintendo is once again patenting video game mechanics. Specifically the ability to ride an object over a terrain that isn’t deemed the ground and the ability to summon objects to engage in a battle. I’ve seen people argue that for the “Summoning” patent it has to do with auto-battles, but that is not the case from the language, it is very simply when you run into a battle via a movement input, the screen changes focus to a battle scene, and you summon an object to fight on your behalf where a menu appears (ie Pokemon), the patent also includes the auto battle but is not just the auto battling system, based off the language. Either way, it is a huge issue. The “Riding” patent is you pressing an input during a prompt so you are now riding an object to aid you in crossing a terrain that is not deemed the normal ground. These patents are a huge failure on US Patent law and should be challenged immediately. I am looking into how I can and will get in contact with a group, representative, and delegate to hopefully force some form an action. Creating a patent for basic game mechanics is deplorable and unjust. Fuck you Nintendo. submitted by /u/Miserable_Speed5474 to r/gaming [link] [comments]
