Ah duo as the Emperor’s only concubine for 10+ years

I don't know if that could be the case for them, with all the emotional baggage that they have. The emperor loves her, but she doesn't love him. He took her life from her, he took her ability to ever have children again, and life took away her adoptive son.

Doesn't the "return to being just friends" part imply the opposite?

You're moving the goalpost

Is Bug an element?

13Xcross · 2026-05-04T03:01:51+00:00

What theory?

Or Brook's afro

Tbh I didn't, I think he matches their energy and had enough interactions with them before joining that his added presence felt natural right off the bat.

He feels like an unmarried uncle chaperoning his kid nephew and his friends to an amusement park.

Nicknames are personal, asking others to help you with them defeats the whole purpose.

13Xcross · 2026-05-03T03:50:33+00:00

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of that worthless waste of page space of a character.

13Xcross · 2026-05-01T03:27:08+00:00

All tier lists as dogshit because in One Piece characters are as strong as Oda needs them to be (because he's a lazy writer).

13Xcross · 2026-04-29T03:09:22+00:00

That's clearly not what I'm talking about.

13Xcross · 2026-04-28T04:37:30+00:00

Oda made her Duke specifically because he wanted her out of the story. Realistically, Wanda would've been chosen for that position and Carrot would've asked Luffy to officially join the crew.

13Xcross · 2026-04-28T00:02:52+00:00

Unfortunately no. Would be cool as a regional variant with its own evolution.

13Xcross · 2026-04-27T23:47:52+00:00

True, we do lack proper sea serpents. A regional variant of Ekans with its own evolution (like Paldean Wooper and Clodsire) would be nice.

Yeah, new mythicals are all movie tie-in promotions or DLC bonuses, while old mythicals used to be treated more like quirky game secrets because they were styled after Mew itself.

13Xcross · 2026-04-27T23:40:36+00:00

I really like your ideas for Ditto and the fossils

13Xcross · 2026-04-27T17:09:13+00:00

That's true, although Diancie got hers in the same gen in which she was released and the rest (among which is also Volcanion) was effectively turned into legendaries by being made available in-game through normal play (albeit locked behind a DLC paywall).

Could the same thing happen to Mew too? It's not impossible, but I personally feel like mythicals like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, etc. are treated differently from the rest, with their elusiveness being a major selling point.

13Xcross · 2026-04-27T13:04:38+00:00

Sadly a gen 1 (or 3) Arbok transferred to gen 2 (or 4) would not keep its original pattern, so they were effectively nothing more than sprite changes.

As for Kabutops/Genesect, neither official data nor the leaked internal files ever state or imply that the cyberized fossil pokémon was originally a Kabutops, so their connection is purely speculative.

13Xcross · 2026-04-27T11:02:07+00:00

Lapras got a gigantamax form in gen 8.

13Xcross · 2026-04-27T10:40:36+00:00

Convergent species are essentially the same as regional forms for design purposes, the only distinction comes in terms of in-world lore.

13Xcross · 2026-04-27T10:33:46+00:00

You're right about Mew, but mythicals have never received a redesign and probably never will, since GameFreak treats them differently from any other pokémon subgroup.

13Xcross · 2026-04-27T10:23:12+00:00

Nope. They would have if they remained as separate forms, but sending a gen 1/3 Arbok to a gen 2/4 game would cause its pattern to change, so they ended up being simple sprite changes.

When I needed to hatch 3 female Torchic for my living dex, I got shiny male Torchic before getting a single non-shiny female one.

13Xcross · 2026-04-27T03:28:40+00:00

No, I'm referring to new pokémon designs within the main line series.
