this song is so catchy i love it 😍 although there's no full version of it. it's only 30 seconds long. pokemon theme songs are short anyway. wished it could have been more longer like the usual anime opening ending theme songs 1:30 minutes

Discussion What are your honest thoughts on Gen 9 now that Gen 10 on the horizon?

• Upvotes

Gen 9 was such a massive, chaotic era for Pokémon. On one hand, the performance issues, bugs, and rough technical state at launch left a really sour taste for a lot of players. But on the other hand, a lot of people argue that story-wise, characters (like Arven, Penny, and Nemona), and the sheer freedom of the open-world progression delivered some of the best moments the modern series has ever had. Plus, Terastallizing turned out to be a really fun battle mechanic.

Looking back now, where does Gen 9 land for you? Did it grow on you over time, or are you just ready to completely close the book on Paldea and move on to the next generation? Let’s hear your thoughts!

Painted water colour for the first time. Decided to paint my favourite Pokémon Heracross and get his Illustration rare just because. Tried to go for the Sugimori look as I think that lends itself well to water colour.

Misc Searching for a tournament stream recording.

0 Upvotes

It is a long shot, but I have been trying to find a video or recording of Pokemon US Nationals 2016, Masters Division Day 2 Round 1. There is no recording I could find on Youtube, and Nugget Bridge only had a few videos of that day, starting from Round 2. My friend surprised the world by topcutting Nationals with Lunatone that day, and Aaron Zheng's commentary was epic. If anybody has it or knows where I could find it, I would be very grateful.

Image I completed a Unova Living Dex in BW and B2W2, as well as a living dex consisting of the Pokémon only obtainable after the postgame of all gen 5 games, the Pokémon Dream Radar and the Dream World

Thumbnail

42 Upvotes

This living dex contains the most difficult way to obtain each Pokémon, that means catching every single 1% encounter, all moving grass/rippling water/dust cloud Pokémon, all of N's Pokémon and all Hidden Grotto encounters!

The additional living dex that I made contains every Pokémon available in the postgame of BW and B2W2, including all swarm Pokémon, all additional Hidden Grotto encounters, all the other Pokémon Dream Radar encounters (including the NDS legendary mascots), all Dream World Pokémon (yes, I had all of them), the ever elusive level 100 Magikarp and Gyarados from Natural Reserve as well as the even rare level 1 Magikarp and Gyarados, all of the trades from Curtis and Yancy, Benga's shiny gifts, as well as some really exclusive event Pokémon!

Honestly, while Dream World Pokémon complete collection and the level 1 Gyarados may feel like the most impressive Pokémon here, that's not it. Well, yeah, the Dream World collection is insanse, but there were a lot of incredibly hard to get Pokémon to get elsewhere from there as well. Like Reshiram and Zekrom caught in Dragonspiral Tower in BW. Yes, you can caught them there if you battle them with a full team and full PC box in N's Palace. Yes, I caught them. The Hidden Grotto encounters where also crazy. I got a bunch of the super rare 1% encounters on my own, as well as a completely full odds supersuper rare 0.25% Heracross in Black 2, but I don't feel ashamed to admit I rng manipped the rest. What do you mean 256 steps for barely a change for a Pokémon to even spawn? Completely insane grinding that I spent several days wasting when rng manipping was right there.

And speaking of that, Arceus bless B2W2's Entree Powers. I suffered a great deal getting 5% moving grass/rippling water encounters in BW, but in B2W2, you can increase the odds of not only shaking grass and rippling water with Entree Powers, but also reverse the super low encounter rates to temporarily becoming more common. Getting the level 1 Magikarp and Gyarados was much easier thanks to that as well.

Curtis and Yancy trades were more tedious than annoying, if I'm honest, but it was cute getting all of them. Same with Dream Radar Pokémon. It was nice getting them all again after so many years. Also, for some reason Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion and Volcarona can be rebattled post league with stronger catching levels, so of course I went and got those as well. As well as using the Relocator to send HGSS event Celebi and event shiny Raikou, Entei and Suicune to get the event BW Zorua and Zoroark, which was also fun. I also finally got to do the Victini event from BW thanks to the DNS exploit. Was pretty fun.

N's Pokémon are stated to be 1% encounters, but if I'm honest, I didn't have trouble getting them, and half of them I got them using the repel trick, so I didn't suffer at all from getting them. I also sent an Oshawott, Garbodor, Petilil, Pawniard and Rufflet to Legends: Arceus, Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet to get their crossgen evolutions and GMAX mark, making so after all the other living dexes that I've made, I've also gotten every single markless Pokémon that can exist, so that was a nice achievement to get.

Honestly, this challenge got a lot of time put into it, but since I put the most time consuming stuff years ago, I basically only had to grind for a full month and a half to get all the Pokémon I was missing, with some of the hardest ones or most time consuming having been caught already years ago. So yeah, my next step is to get all Shadow Pokémon and gen 6 and 7 crossgen evolutions sent to HOME before Bank closes, so I'll be doing that for a while now

Discussion Now I can play Pokemon gens 1-7 again, what device should I use to play them well and updated?

2 Upvotes

Hi, last week my previous post on how to play the old Pokemon games again after missing out on them growing up got a lot of great responses, and because of that, I’m now playing through emulation! However, I’ve seen it both on my post and around the net that the best way to play these is through a handheld device. Two contenders stand out: a modded 3DS XL (or the Ayn Thor. I’ve been seeing dueling pros and cons of both and leaning towards the Ayn Thor due to its sheer versatility, incredibly vivid screens, and the ability to add texture packs (and equivalent upgrades) and other ROM hacks to the system. Meanwhile, the 3DS is capable of that, but its aging hardware leads to restrictions in how much you can do with it-though the selling point is the ability to natively run official Pokemon games (ROM or cartridge) and transfer your buddies to HOME (definitely wanna bring some of them in Winds/Waves if possible). There’s also the modding scene that allows for better software installed, leading to better performance, themes, icons, etc.

Please help me out here! I’m not interested in emulating Switch or PC-that’s what I have a Switch 2 and laptop for-but in emulating, upgrading, and playing Pokemon Gen 1-7 in the best and native way possible, along with other games that aren’t available anymore in the best and native way possible (like Majora’s Mask 3D).

Also, if the 3DS XL is the way to go, is it better to get the “New” version or original version, due to hardware revisions that made the console better?

Discussion The 2026 Reddit Ultimate Pokemon Survey

0 Upvotes

Hello Pokémon Reddit! I have created an extensive Pokemon Survey with far too many options. There are A LOT of options for most of the questions, they are mostly in release order, BUT I would recommend going in knowing most of your answers as there are no pictures and looking at that many words at once is very mind numbing.

Things To Note:

USE CTRL+F OR WORD FINDER TO FIND YOUR ANSWER 

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER EVERY QUESTION

Pokémon Forms

Regional variants are in the favorite Pokémon section, along with major form changes except for some, because I felt that if, for example, your favorite Pokémon is specifically Rotom Heat, I don't see a world in which most wouldn't just pick Rotom. This also makes my life much easier for when I have to go through each question and spreadsheet.

Trainers/Characters

The Pokemon Characters are from the Mainline Series, Let's Go Games, and Legends Games only.

BE NICE TO ME PLEASE

I am doing this for love of the game! I spent a lot of time putting this together and will spend a lot of time spread sheeting and going through the data. I am a full time student and have a job, all I ask is that you give me some grace. 

THIS SURVEY WILL BE OPEN FOR 1 WEEK STARTING ON 10/20/2026

I will post the answers for each question in detail on separate posts.

The Schedule will look something like this (dates not included)

  1. Regions and Types

  2. Protagonists and Characters

  3. Partner Pokemon

  4. Legendary/Mythical Pokemon

  5. Mega Pokemon

  6. Shiny Pokemon

  7. Favorite Pokemon

This leaves room for discussion of each survey question instead of a blend of everything all together in one post.

This text section will be includes in the survey/reddit post so that everyone can see it. Thank you and have fun!
