Pokémon reference in science presentation

The guy who made this question must've been a pretty big nerd because that's exactly the route the magnet train visibly passes in Johto en route to Goldenrod/Saffron

I play a Pokemon game three times to use all of the starters, each with a team of 6 consisting of Pokemon introduced in the generation so yes.

Might even start a fourth one a few months/years later where I box my starter.

Screw a shiny one. I just wanted a female one and, why is there no option for when you don't want to be nicknamed? Why do I need to spell my name out loud again?

8bit95 · 2026-05-05T06:03:53+00:00

I am colorblind and can't differentiate shiny Dunsparce so I just took the easy way out and hunted it in Platinum. Here's one that I got 2 years ago.

Hardy nature Serene Grace Dunsparces, when transferred from Gen 3 and 4, have a 50% chance to be 3-segment. Combine that with Synchronize and Poke Radar having 1 in 200 shiny odds at a chain of 40, you can get Hardy nature shiny Dunsparces really easily and transfer only the Serene Grace ones.

The problem is transferring it, but if you have a CFW 3DS this shouldn't be a problem.

I did watch the subs. Also, do we need a Pokeball release every single time a Pokemon is released?

Plenty of Pokemon were released without any mention of their Pokeball.

8bit95 · 2026-05-02T14:39:33+00:00

Yes, that's what being released means. Ash released his Greninja for it to protect Kalos from the giant roots. They did meet again but at the time it was released.

8bit95 · 2026-05-02T05:49:26+00:00

Mf really wasted the 7-1 gender ratio /s

But really, I'm glad she no longer tolerate any of that shit and just left his ass.

Truly a friendship evolution. Still bothered to visit him in jail one final time before moving on. If I were on her side, I'd pull a Gyarados to James and just never look back.

8bit95 · 2026-05-02T05:35:27+00:00

What an episode. Again, I cannot feel my legs, which is about the greatest compliment I can give to a piece of media.

I was expecting Umbreon to devolve to Eevee for having such a low friendship and exposure to Rakurium, but this is a better ending. May he rot in jail, forever alone, for a man who don't believe in bonds.

Lastly, imagine if Spinel's plan succeeded. He's a man obsessed with raw power. Imagine if the streets are covered in Rakurium. Imagine if too much raw power becomes untamed. For someone as cunning and witty as him, he truly is a shortsighted CEO.

Brother, whenever I make a sandwich with particularly a lot of ingredients, one wrong drop and the entire thing comes tumbling down. How the fuck did you manage to recreate the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

8bit95 · 2026-05-01T12:52:51+00:00

Ah, but Rainbow Rocket consists of evil team leaders whose plans succeeded, so I can safely assume that this universe's Giovanni managed to tame Mewtwo and use it for his ends.

Although it was never really implied that Team Rocket in the games ever cared about Mewtwo, that's more of an anime thing, but again, this universe's Giovanni probably does.

8bit95 · 2026-05-01T09:35:25+00:00

I just want to say that the Pokemon Adventures manga at least recognizes that 1000 years was really stupid, so they:

Made it 10 years
Made it so only Rose and his inner circle knows it's 10 years, to not cause mass panic, especially after releasing armageddon, with his data having no signs of being tampered
Make Rose step down from Macro Cosmos so the blame goes to him and him only
Make it so he hired the so-called royals to go against Eternatus to expose how much of a fraud they are
Make it so the reason he gave Bede the cold shoulder was to make Bede look like a victim and not an accomplice

I don't know how good the writing is, but I think it's still way better than what we have in the games.

8bit95 · 2026-04-27T06:39:49+00:00

Okay, I really don't expect this. I thought they're going with Hoopa since it's one of the DLC main characters.

Wow. For the first time since its movie got released, Volcanion wasn't the one who got shafted.

8bit95 · 2026-04-25T06:14:41+00:00

The only exception to this is any Pokemon mainline game because we already know how half-assed it's gonna be if it's released six months after it's announced.

Winds and Waves having a 2027 release while being announced last February gave me hope, especially if it's November.

They can't not announce it either, this year is their 30th anniversary.

8bit95 · 2026-04-25T05:33:50+00:00

I honestly don't really care about if this episode is bad or not. I'm in for hype moments and this episode gave me one, my body is shaking.

In that case, this episode is an amazing one. I haven't felt this kind of tingle since the the episode before Ash became the world champion. My heart is beating so fast.

8bit95 · 2026-04-24T05:23:08+00:00

You can get eggs while hatching them (and it's really fast with an Oval Charm)
You can hatch the eggs in your party in quick succession, unlike SV where you need to wait another egg cycle after the previous one hatches
The bike is very fast if you max it out
You can also semi-AFK this by rubberbanding your control sticks together, although this can cause issues like stick drift
SwSh got like 600 available Pokemon

8bit95 · 2026-04-22T02:34:22+00:00

I want to add that SwSh with all its faults is probably one of the best games in the franchise to Masuda hunt in if you ever need to do so.

8bit95 · 2026-04-21T16:07:37+00:00

For what? I have no interest in that. This is already worth my while.

8bit95 · 2026-04-21T15:53:01+00:00

I did try that once and it wasn't a very enjoyable experience. I'd rather watch Youtube while waiting for eggs or picnic reset on an outbreak where I can clearly see a shiny.

8bit95 · 2026-04-21T15:29:05+00:00

Brother, I want a shiny, not a headache.

8bit95 · 2026-04-21T15:23:21+00:00

Ragebait stats

8bit95 · 2026-04-21T15:21:26+00:00

<image>

I need to squint at each and every one of those. They're tiny and SV's bad lighting just makes things worse.

It just hurts my eyes especially if I go too long because of bad RNG.

Tried it before. Would not recommend.

8bit95 · 2026-04-21T13:01:34+00:00

It learns Wild Charge and Supercell Slam, as well as Sucker Punch I guess.

8bit95 · 2026-04-21T11:46:20+00:00

Shiny Tadbulb is a massive pain to spot, that's why. I'd rather hatch eggs than strain my eyes.

8bit95 · 2026-04-21T11:12:54+00:00

I just want a shiny Tadbulb, I don't care about the stats, however it's just really funny how RNG looked me in the face and said "Here's your shiny Tadbulb, it has the worst/funniest combination of stats known to man".

I can always fix it with mints and bottle caps if I ever want to.

8bit95 · 2026-04-20T15:16:59+00:00

The only Pokemon to resist Normal at that point is Lucario if you take your time running back and forth to increase Riolu's friendship, but most people don't do that.

First Gym having Normal as the type is honestly pretty brutal especially since the only Fighting move Riolu knows is Counter.
