I need the tumblr girlies to know that Sejun Park is bringing Pachirisu to worlds again 10 years after his iconic win

what if you fucking grow up instead of pretending to be a dog so people will give you the love you never got from your parents.

Oh! Oh! I’ve been waiting for this! I even took this picture so I could make this joke! But it’s such an autistic hyper fixation joke that I feel the need to explain it in excruciating detail!

In the early meta of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet VGC one cool Pokemon that I used was Dachsbun (a puppy Pokemon).

I would have it use substitute, which is a move that summons a pokédoll that sits in front of your pokemon. The pokédoll then takes damage instead of your pokemon.

In the picture I’m a puppy with a pokédoll substitute in front of me to intercept the anons attack! Just like how I used this stupid joke to intercept the attack! But the joke goes deeper!

Dachsbun has an ability called “Well-Baked Body” which makes it absorb fire type attacks, causing it to get a defense buff from the attack instead of taking damage. Dachsbun wasn’t a very commonly used pokemon so people often didn’t realize it had this ability and would try to use fire attacks against it.

In this post Anon is trying to burn me, so this is a fire type attack. And they had no idea that I’m an autistic pokemon turbo nerd who was going to absorb the attack into this extremely convoluted (and unnecessarily long) joke and use it to strengthen my defense. Just like Dachsbun!

But wait! There’s more!!!!

Dachsbun doesn’t have a strong attack stat, so its main offensive move is Body Press which allows it to attack with its defense stat instead of its attack stat.

Body press is a good move, but it doesn’t do a lot of damage without a ton of buffs, so it often ends up taking a long time to chip away at an opponents health. That’s exactly like how this post is probably slowly chipping away at anons health!

So to sum it up! I’m a puppy with a substitute Pokédoll that I’m using to intercept attacks, and I’m absorbing a fire type attack to raise my defense while slowly chipping away at my opponents life!

Anyway, thank you so much anon! I really appreciate you walking into this incredibly stupid trap that I’ve laid!

In competitive Pokémon lore, Amoonguss now canonically supports trans rights. We already knew Ferrothorn was homophobic so that's 2 of their opinions on LGBT rights, 1023 to go.

My fav thing about comp pokemon discussions are people that tell others to change certain things in the tier despite the fact that they don't and won't play that tier. Fun stuff.

hey guys if you redeem this event pelipper with the code W1DEGUARDLA1C25 (runs until nov 21st 23:59 utc) it doesn’t look like it, but it actually has glitched data… so don’t bring it to official VGC events unless you want to risk being disqualified.

BUT also, when trading over pokemon home, the glitched data causes a failsafe to happen and changes the OT of the pelipper from Patrick to HOME

^ before and after i swapped pelippers in the home mobile app with a friend.

so like if you want a really funny glitched event pokemon, redeem a pelipper with a friend and trade in home together 😭 😭 (triggering the failsafe should also make it legal for VGC events fwiw)

So I think it's well known that scarlet and violet are a rushed, buggy mess, but I wanna share the absolute disaster of a week they've been having for those who may not have heard about all of this

Sunday May 15th: Japan nationals is held as an online tournament, with the top 64 players earning a world's invite. It ends up having multiple bugs such as not allowing breaks between matches, not awarding game wins for an opponent's disconnection, or not showing win loss record, all of which are standard for online battles and tournaments. This gets a lot of complaints obviously, so they decide to redo the tournament and revoke the world's invite of the top 64 players. This is the tldr version, and you can hear a better explanation on Ray Rizzo's youtube channel

Thursday May 18th: the official Japanese Pokemon twitter account says that the Pokemon home update with scarlet and violet compatibility will be released soon. The international account gives us a specific date, May 24th. Keep this in mind for later

Friday May 19th: Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Chesnaught raid events go live for the weekend. Great Tusk and Iron Treads end up crashing the game when completed, so the entire event is cancelled and postponed

Also Friday May 19th: Pokemon's international twitter account quote tweets their Pokemon home May 24th announcement and says it was a mistake, assuring us it will come "soon"
