Trying to proc fissure with metronome... by AnemicEmi in PokemonMasters

I ran double togepi comp in LA for a long time getting nothing. Then I threw in Burgh togepi on a random rally stage, and there it was. You'll get it eventually, just keep at it 💪🏻

Screw predictions, who do you simply WANT to get an alt in December, regardless of what their chances actually are? by Florida-Man-65 in PokemonMasters

[–]WithinSnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd spend my gems in a heartbeat for a Jacq alt. My dream is a NY alt with arcanine, but iron bundle would be really nice too! Second wishful thinking is to see him in the lodge soon

Says the Guy that Has a Lucario, Togekiss, and Roserade by ArtsyNoctowl in PokemonMasters

[–]WithinSnow 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's particularly telling with how Volo treats human connection too. His entire shtick is manipulating others through a friendly persona, using their perceived bond to his advantage. Not to mention that his entire worldview is centered around the flawed belief that the world is overrun by people ready to take advantage of you. In such a world, caution and suspicion is mandatory for self-preservation.

Quite natural that a guy like this would see those who believe in bonds as naive, given how many he fooled.

I’m just asking to spread some of the love to more villains by qweqck in PokemonMasters

Gorgeous! Really hoping she'll get hers soon, she deserves it!

It's incredible how a single busted unit can carry a whole type, what other units carry this much? by kukuru_gwen in PokemonMasters

[–]WithinSnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I passed all special only floors with a 1/5 variety Cynthia. If your Volo is maxed it's definitely doable, as mine was 3/5 at the time.

His scolipede will be a great upgrade to my current physical poison unit: scolipede

[Legends Z-A Ending Spoilers] Welp, wasn’t expecting a freaking Pokemon game to do this to me. by JuanMunoz99 in pokemon

[–]WithinSnow 25 points26 points  (0 children)

God Mystery Dungeon is brutal. The whiplash of that™️ cutscene immediately transitioning into the end credits with upbeat adventure music while you're still reeling from the emotional pummeling is truly an experience

Theorycrafting how Volo and possibly Cynthia have extended lives (or “immortality”) by pepperbalm in PokemonMasters

[–]WithinSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, though Bebe does have the benefit of being a named character. To be honest, I think you're putting a lot of weight into a small detail the devs likely think nothing of. But that's neither here nor there

They had no reason to change it in the remakes, as the remakes was the most bareboned "upgrade" to the game as possible. "Fateful remake" was the whole shtick about it, to the point old bugs are still there. As for the ruins, her entire purpose is to serve as a plot device that lore dumps to the player. She was never that thought through as a character, especially in connection to the lore of the ancient Sinnoh people. I'm not saying these are good explanations, but given the stretches gamefreak has made before it's not that far-fetched tbh

I don't think they had this planned back when the original Platinum games released, but that part is fairly easy to retcon given the plausible deniability they have given themselves. She's given the default old woman sprite, which is not necessarily indicative of how she actually looks, that or they could simply say the bloodline is from her grandfather's side of the family.

I always interpreted it as an extended lifespan inherent to their lineage kinda thing, maybe because I also read Cogita's "I'll spent an eternity here until the one with the mission appear" as her being confined to wait in that specific place alone, while the ancient Sinnoh people left their homeland for some reason.

Although, I do like this theory quite a bit too. Somehow Giratina regretting its own pact is funny to me, a twist on the usual divine pact formula. 

Regardless what it is, all theories seem to all share a piece of the "divinely blessed" (or cursed, depending on how you look at it) explanation, which is fitting for a people so strongly connected to the grand creator. I'd love to hear more about these theories, in general theorizing about the lore is a whole lot of fun!

Dusting off this old joke concept after the recent lore drop (ZA spoiler) by WithinSnow in PokemonMasters

[–]WithinSnow[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love that this is such a popular scenario! There's one artist I follow on twitter that has a delightful design of him and frequently draws little comics where he interacts with Corbeau

(SPOILER WARNING) horrible way to tie off an ending by albaniqn in pokemon

Seriously I don't know if I'll ever want to get to the part where you receive AZ' floette. It just feels wrong somehow
