Dark/Fairy *Pokedex voice* Mattibee - The Hidden Pokemon. (cause the root word for cryptid, crypto, means hidden) While many people believe that this Pokemon doesn't exist, it also has a number of fan clubs. Both groups are often seen arguing about it, but Mattibee's would rather have peace and quiet to collect pinecones.
Hello yes I love this?? I’m putting it in my collection of Very Good Pinecones

Ok, I really want to know how that happened.
Right? This is so astonishing. Fortunately, I think I know who to ask.
Yo, @suitsongirls, what do you know about the Mega Zards this gen?
Do the public react to your birds at all?
hahaha, yes! They do!!The typical reaction is that people will just stop what ever it is they were doing to come and look at the birds. They don’t usually try to make conversation, or ask any questions--they’ll just stand around and watch the birds for a bit before continuing on their way.Sometimes folks will ask what kind of birds they are. On rare occasion, I’ll be met by another parrot owner/enthusiast and they’ll tell me about their own birds.I haven’t really had anyone look down on them or suggest that I shouldn’t have them in the public space, etc. In thailand, it’s very common to see people bringing their birds around in little cages. There’s a whole industry around song birds (and song bird competitions, etc)--so toting around birds in cages is a pretty common sight here!But my birds aren’t song birds. They’re parrots! And so that gets a lot of people’s curiosity. I think even the folks who don’t say anything and just quietly stare at them--are just trying to figure out what kind of bird they might be!

Oh yeah, battle-institute ripped it to shreds this morning
Someone had to.
Really though, it’s one of those fake things I strongly wish was real. I would love to see a generation where, right in the middle, there’s this influx of new Pokemon we didn’t foresee. Or, hell, updates to the game in terms of altering base stats and playing with abilities.
This is something I outright don’t understand; we can patch the game now, guys. Why are we not seeing more broad, sweeping changes for the competitive scene when we have this tech at our disposal? “But updating that would mean it’s not compatible with older stuff.” You mean like it already isn’t? Things adjust well enough through PokeBank, and we get updates with minor bug fixes that are so incompatible with past versions of the game that we can’t even watch old Battle Videos. “But what about keeping later gen games compatible with newer-gen games?” Honestly? Not important. I could see the case for keeping a remake and the most recent version of the new stuff consistent. That makes sense. But if we have a situation where it’s Sun/Moon, then Ultra Sun/Moon, the second should be an upgrade. I don’t see why there shouldn’t be massive, sweeping changes that make it wholly different from the base game, and which means maybe the first game doesn’t have compatibility with the second. I just want changes. I want updated movepools. I want updated abilities. I want improved base stats like we saw at the start of this gen. Give me something new.
I found out that the mega stone distribution by online competition thing is EVEN WORSE than I thought. Sign ups are supposed to be open for a week right? I found out the hard way that they have a VERY limited capacity and the weakness cup closed not even 1 day after opening. What's the damn point then? Do they know how many thousands of players they have?
Wait, WHAT?! The tournament closed? That...can’t be right. I’ve never heard of that happening before. That’s inexcusable. What a bunch of assholes. I know it would invalidate a lot, but I hope Ultra Sun/Moon just gives the mega stones.
cooltrainerdarc replied to your post “The worst part of announcing Ultra Sun/Moon as the last 3DS game is...”
I'm not so sure about this. Ultra Sun/Moon is the last 3DS pokemon yes, and we know that Switch pokemon will (probably) be the next main series style game. But I don't believe that Nintendo won't release a successor to the 3DS, the handheld stuff has made them so much money and the 3DS is getting old. And even when it was released it was a low-spec system. It's lifespan is just about up, we'll just have to see what happens in the future.
Here’s the thing though. Are we really going to bet on a separate handheld system coming out that does not have Pokemon available on it? Because I’m not willing to take that bet. If Pokemon is shifting over to the Switch, it means it’s a main console production now, meaning they’re $60 per game and that any handheld they may have even thought about creating is no longer needed.

I think part of the problem might also be that they have a bit of a complex about changing pre existing stuff. Small move and stat changes are for the most part, fairly unnoticeable. Unless it becomes necessary, the attitude of “well how do we explain this thing suddenly being different?” wins out. But only for stuff that doesnt matter. Like increasingly complicated evolution methods for new evos for old pokemon.
Counterpoint: we seem to be moving toward the future I want, where we’re giving out pretty substantial stat increases and changes to movepools that are...really good. It hasn’t done a ton for most, but I think we’re moving closer to a situation where things are being changed substantially and it’s considered good. I just wish we’d go a bit crazier with it.

Perhaps these would work if they lost beast boost for abilities of their own. As if the boost was from being saturated in energy from the ultra wormholes rather than their own powers. Over time they stabilise to existing in the main dimension (like Solgaleo, Lunala, & Necrozma if we get the confirmation that they are in fact UBs) In return the Z moves are like a booster shot of ultra space giving a stat boost. Z moves and totem pokemon auras are from the ultra wormholes
Solgaleo and Lunala ARE Ultra Beasts; documents in the Aether Paradise outright confirmed that Nebby and thus the entire line are consider Ultra Beasts. Necrozma undoubtedly is as well, given its association with the sidequest, the cry thing that someone found, and the fact it’s apparently fusing with Solgaleo and Lunala, other known Ultra Beasts. So in theory, they could? I really don’t know.
But I have considered this, and honestly considered Beast Boost being lost as an ability following the use of Z-moves, and being replaced by something more species-specific. Like Nihilego could have something that focuses on its toxins, Celesteela something along the lines of powering up its blaster special attacks, etc. But that’s a lot going on and I wanted to keep it simple.
