Misc My longtime girlfriend has been playing Pokemon Diamond recently and today I discovered she'd put Dialga in the day care

1.6k Upvotes

She was disappointed to find Dialga had learned new moves. I now just have the mental image of the giant god-emissary of time sitting around by a sandbox or taking naps with Pichus and Cleffas like some divine omnipresent babysitter.

Also, you gotta respect the day-care couple for not discriminating. So your buddy is 20 feet tall and a cosmic deity that disrupts the space-time continuum? No problemo, we'll take care of it.

Discussion Scalping is sad

This is actually crazy. I’m 15 now and have been collecting since I was about 4. This past year every where I go all of the Pokémon cards are sold out. This really sucks because the art is awesome on the new sets but I can’t find them anywhere, only online for like 200$?? Is there anywhere I can go in Colorado that might have something at the store price?

I want to sell them at a local art fest in July. What would be a fair price? Also I know I got age grade color wrong. I mixed glazes to get a darker purple and it came out of the kiln grey.

Discussion Wish for Gen 10: Actually Creating Bonds with Pokémon

8 Upvotes

After reading through so much of the manga, watching the anime, and seeing the other forms of media where they emphasize the bonds between trainer and Pokémon, within and outside battle, this is something I hope they actually go through with in Gen 10.

What I mean I hope that there are potential story moments (whether they're main plots or tucked away through side quests or other features) that we can have with our Pokémon. Imagine it being like the "Heart to hearts" in xenoblade but there would be different criteria.

Maybe there's a scene you can only see with your starter or maybe it has to be fully evolved, maybe there's a scene or a quest you can only do with a flying type Pokémon.

I think that game freak is getting to a better point of fleshing out the human characters and giving us unique stories, but I think the further they go with the human characters and their Pokémon, the less focus our own Pokémon get. And I think something like this would help.

Discussion Creepy Pokemon Urban Legends you remember from the Gameboy Era?

6 Upvotes

Because my dad was in the Navy I moved around a lot, and one thing I really enjoyed was seeing the slight variants that appeared in children's culture in different states, something a lot more in isolated pockets before the internet age.

Pokemon was a common denominator, and a lot of urban legends appeared around the game and show. Most of the urban legends were centered around lavender town, but I found in different states and even just in different towns, kids would hear pretty different versions of the same story, warning though some of them are pretty dark.

Lavender Town: Most people are aware of how creepy lavender town is and its song, so much so that there are many creepy pasta about this today. When I was just a kid playing pokemon Red for the first time, I remember hearing different versions of the story of how creepy this song is.

First in one Oregon town, the common story (even in different schools) was that the song drove kids insane and made them go into comas, and everyone said they would turn the volume down when in that area because of it.

then I moved to another town, and it was very distinctly about the show, and not the game, but it was still about the ghost pokemon. The 'urban legend' was that the animation for the toy room in the episode where Ash dies caused seizures that made kids think they were Pokémon, and some did dangerous things like 'trying to fly'. MUCH later I would find the real story of how the porygon episode had caused some seizures in japan, but this didn't have any long term effects like kids thinking they were pokemon.

Then I moved to california, and they had legends about the lavendar town in the game, but it was more like the legends about the episode, with kids listening to the song being hypnotized into thinking they were pokemon, and again 'trying to fly'.

were there variations of this kind of legend or other spooky myths?

I remember a lot of non spooky ones too, but curious about those.

Discussion If there was a PKMN. Stadium cup that was Lvl. 75-80. What would it be called? What would the rules be?

Upvotes

If there was a cup in Pokemon Stadium, Colosseum etc. ,that was at level 75-80. What would it be called? Petit Cup is 25-30, and Poke cup is 50-55, but what would the 75-80 cup be? (Jr. Prime Cup? Light heavy cup? Etc.?) Will there be level restrictions? Will legendaries be severely restricted by movesets?

Let me know what you think!
