Last one for gen seven, it had to be Mimikyu.

[zorubark-art-account]

The Alola protagonists are by far the most spacey, ":)", unreactive protagonists and for many years I thought it was just a fault of the game that theyre like that and that they did it out of not wanting to put the effort or immersion idk, but yknow what? Every other protagonist has reactions so this to me is just their personality now, they're head empty, only happy, sometimes scared or surprised, but mostly all happy thoughts inside head, even when evil people try to kill them

Hot take that probably shouldn’t be that hot of a take: Simping for Pokémon is disgusting and weird. Yes, even if it’s a humanoid Pokémon like Gardevoir it is still weird. The Pokémon in the series are shown multiple times to be that world’s version of wild animals, so it would basically be z00philia. Besides, there are plenty of actual human characters in Pokémon to simp for such as the adult gym leaders, the adult villains, etc. You do not need to simp for the Pokémon, you’re just weird

Random Fact of the Day

Daily Pokémon that was randomly selected: Orbeetle!

Did you know that Gigantamax Orbeetle’s intellect and psychic abilities are overpowering? If it were to utilize every last bit of its power, it could control the minds of every living being in its vicinity. Orbeetle’s brain has grown to a gargantuan size, as has the rest of its body!

Moving on to gen seven, gonna have to go with Litten for my starter every time.

[obstinatecondolement]

Okay, so this is pretty rough and ready, but perhaps something like:

P - Pikachu (exciting – i.e. "electrifying" reads because pikachu is an electric type) O - Oddish (originality/felt fresh – oddish has "odd" in its name and is a grass type. I know this is a stretch) K - Kakuna (character development – kakuna is literally a cacoon) E - Eevee (I'm torn between just a catch all "enjoyment" justified by "I like eevee a lot" or something more vague like "plot potential" or "adaptable to other media" but I don't think they are essential criteria for books and I don't want something scoring lower than it would otherwise just because it didn't get some contrived score that I made up so I could make an acronym) M - Meowth (prose and/or dialogue – the meowth in Team Rocket in the anime can talk) O - Onix (grounded – this one is another stretch, but onix is a rock/ground type) N - Ninetails (plot development – ninetails is the evolved form of vulpix)

Is this basically just the CAWPILE system but slightly worse? Yes. But it spells pokemon and that's fun.

Watching a lot of reading journal videos at the moment and it kind of makes me want to formalise the pokemon-based book rating system I invented when I was 10. Or maybe make some ungodly hybrid of it and the CAWPILE system, since I don't know how much more formal you can make "If it was exciting, I will put a pikachu sticker on the insider cover, boring books get a snorlax" etc.

It was very qualitative, lol.

What is your opinion on generation seven legendaries? Lunala is one of my favorite all time pokemon. (You don't have to agree with my opinion.)

I actually like Lunala the most in that gen, also Ultra Necrozma’s theme slaps hard along with its Z move

Zero has an edgy pokémon coma theory, and I kind of love it.

Obviously this is contradicted by a bunch of things, and presumably isn't secret lore the devs decided to include. But in the spirit of demonstrating how easy it is to develop a plausible conspiracy theory with sufficiently hyperactive pattern-matching, here's some "evidence" we found:

Apart from Wishiwashi, which might be a separate phenomenon (where do the extras even come from when it does Schooling?), no pokémon which is actually multiple pokémon exceeds a squad of six members. Falinks tops out at six, and Exeggcute has six but one of their heads exploded.

Random trainers around the map tend to only have two or three pokémon in their team. Game balance reasons? No! Only career trainers like the Elite Four or breeders bond with the maximum safe number of pokémon at once!

Gary/Blue has seven distinct pokémon, but only swaps one out when it- judging by its disappearance in the fight in Lavender Tower- literally dies.

The protagonist of gen 1, Red, shows up in the next game... totally nonverbal, hanging out at the top of a mountain, unable to interact except to battle. He's lost his mind to bonding with too many pokémon! The price of power!

Things this theory explains:

Multi-pokemon like Magneton- what makes Magneton a single pokémon, and not two or four Magnemite? Magneton is the configuration of Magnemite that's capable of bonding with a trainer as a single pokémon.

This is the function of pokéballs- they're a prosthesis for the organ pokémon have but humans don't that allows them to form psychic mind-meld links with other pokémon. It's not mind-control or convenient loyalty- you're in each other's heads now. Escape from a pokéball is rejection of the psychic link.

The original four trade evolutions- Gengar, Alakazam, Machamp, Golem- all become more humanlike on evolving. This is a side effect of trading a psychic bond with one human for another one, giving them more humanity to sample.

Things this theory makes way more sinister:

The pokédex quest is way spookier under this paradigm. The box system- if you can't catch more than six, why do boxes exist? Actually, it's weird that they exist at all, isn't it? Boxing the majority of your pokémon is a weird neglectful thing that the games just kind of pretend doesn't happen- trainers rarely if ever acknowledge its existence.

What if most trainers don't HAVE boxes? What if that's something you have, because the evil professor gave you a special pokédex that can access a private computer system belonging to a confederate? For example "Bill's PC" or "Lanette's PC", as opposed to "[playername]'s PC"? You don't normally keep pokémon in indefinite stasis in a computer system- this weird app just exists to allow you to complete the pokédex without your brain exploding!

In Red/Blue/Yellow, Oak gives Blue a pokédex, sure, but he clearly makes no attempt to fill it out. And... really, why would he? He didn't give his grandson the special pokédex that cares about whether you've caught pokémon. He just gave him the normal one! The one that's already filled out! Because of course a filled pokédex already exists! It's yours that records new information only when you catch stuff.

The implied endgame here is... the professor wants to create a pokémon-catcher capable of melding with a legendary pokémon, to interrogate it about the secrets of life.

There are so many levels on which this doesn't even kinda work, but it's extremely fun to occasionally cut loose and take a swim in some cool refreshing Edge.

Welcome to Revenge of the Underrated!

Some of you asked me to put a "haven't watched both" to be more fair to the more unknown movies, but I've seen other tournaments doing this and I think it limits too much who can participate in the polls. So what I decided to do is a double elimination!

What does that mean? That means a movie has to lose twice to be eliminated. In other words, there will be a sorts of losers bracket that'll be part of main bracket. I'm undecided on whether to do this for only one round or the whole bracket, as it would make the tournament very long. Do let me know if you have any opinion about it.
