#396. In Pokémon Black and White, Players are required to capture their respective Reshiram or Zekrom at N’s Castle in order to progress.

However if the Player has a full Party and no space in the Pokémon Storage System, they will be forced to defeat said Pokémon, causing them to disappear, the story will still progress though.

If this occurs Players can actually rebattle the Pokémon at Dragonspiral Tower after the end credits to prevent permanent loss of the Pokémon.

In Generation 6 and Pokémon Sword and Shield, a Storage Box is locked off until Players have caught Xerneas or Yveltal in X or Y, Rayquaza in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and Eternatus in Sword and Shield. (X)(X)

Pokemon Legends: Z-A: What is Λ?

Lo! It's a Λ! 

When you take the Z off of Z-A, you're left with Λ, or the Greek letter lambda. So what does this lambda mean? What is the Λ in Pokemon Legends: Z-A?

This Λ is most likely the symbol for the Infinity Energy coming from AZ's Ultimate Weapon.  Infinity Energy is the reoccurring power from Generation VI. It's sometimes created from the life energy of Pokemon, but not always. Some fans like BirdKeeperToby use the term to refer to the energy, power, or magic that Pokemon use in general.

In the real world, Λ is tied up in all sorts of equations of radiation and light, so it fits perfectly with Infinity Energy.  The most powerful and prolific energy associated with Λ is dark energy.

Now, a disclaimer: I'm not a physicist, so I might get some of this wrong. I'll try my best to stick to the sources.

Albert Einstein used the letter Λ to symbolize the Cosmological Constant, a hidden factor in the universe that counteracted the force of gravity and kept the universe static, neither getting bigger or smaller.  Except, he miscalculated.  The universe wasn't just expanding, the expansion was accelerating.  (Source: LiveScience)

In the 1990's, scientists named the hidden force dark energy.  It's the hidden factor that is pushing against gravity, causing the universe to expand.  And while it's invisible to the eye, and accelerating too far to access, some scientists believe that in billions of years the expansion could rip apart the universe. (Source: LiveScience)

It feels like a very anime idea, like something from Gurren Lagann. An overload of crazy, accelerating energy (three-fourths of the universe!) that expands the universe beyond its limitations.  We could liken dark energy to the untapped potential of Pokemon. Pokemon have special powers and abilities, but in certain circumstances, they can unlock a special potential within them that allows them to evolve their limits.

Mega Stones were created when the blast from the Ultimate Weapon irradiated normal evolutionary stones with Infinity Energy. When a Pokemon Mega Evolves, it reveals within them a potential that was hitherto unknown, energy that lets them expand beyond their limits, just like dark energy expands the universe past the force of gravity.

Of course, there are other things that Λ can symbolize.  Lowercase lambda (λ) symbolizes half-life, and radiation is tied closely with Pokemon evolution itself.  The Mega Stones were "irradiated" with Infinity Energy.  λ is also used to symbolize wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum, including light, which works well with Lumiose City's Prism Tower.  (Wikipedia) Lumiose City is after all, based on the Paris, the City of Lights.

While I find Dark Energy the most exciting explanation for the Λ on the cover of Legends: Z-A, our big green Λ probably incorporates multiple concepts of energy and light into the idea of Infinity Energy.  Infinity Energy is the connective tissue of Generation VI, so it's very likely that it will appear in Legends: Z-A again.  While this doesn't tell us much about the game itself, it might give us an idea why GameFreak used the letter Λ.

Part 0: How much longer am I going to have to wait for a freakin' Unova remake?! (Not really a theory.)

Serena from Pokémon X&Y! (Journeys Outfit)

Another colored pencil drawing and this time it’s Serena! This is her Pokémon Journeys outfit from JN105. I actually have another one of her though I like the ears here a bit better.

I think the neck, ears, and body to head proportions are definitely wonky here. Notice how I drew the hands behind her back. I don’t feel like drawing hands right now lol.

Also, this is my current profile pic for @jollyreblogs which you should check out as I reblog many amazing artists there.

I love Kalos, and I love Mega evolutions. I truly thought they were a natural progression for the series as a whole, and not just a gimmick. Their disappearance and replacement was upsetting.

Just one problem.

Are we supposed to just forget that in Gen 7, Pokémon decided to villify Mega Evolution, and told us in the pokédex that using it is akin to abuse, and is sometimes even LETHAL to them???!
