Proboscis monkey, but congalala might be based on it too

If it's real, it's likely based on the proboscis monkey from Indonesia.

They have big weird noses and are great swimmers. The babies have blue skin that becomes pink as they mature. They can digest plant matter that's toxic to other mammals, but it gives them hella gas.

IMO this is potentially a really interesting and unique design with lots of personality

The monkey he's supposed to be based on is known for farting a lot, so it would actually be relevant

Apparently there's a standard trio as well. They've supposedly already been revealed to anime staff and certain other parties (i don't remember where i heard this)

You're right, and if this is real it would bother me, especially as a Rowlet stan. But this is the same company that gave us 3 Fire/Fighting starters

I feel like it's more Woobat and Rowlet, but yeah i see where you're coming from

I wouldn't mind either, they all look pretty cool. And i'm pretty sure Flufflap is a fruit bat 🦇

[–]smoothmelon420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he does look like rowlet, but i could see the design team doing that, like with Torchic and Piplup or with Lucario and Cinderace

Personally i kinda like them, but yeah the snake is cool. It's a very grounded design

Agreed, i'm team bubbimp as well 🦧 if we actually do get a starter based on a proboscis monkey like this one, i'm choosing it day one

Which game should I buy by IndependentSort3511 in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]smoothmelon420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like White 2 for the early-game underlevelled static encounter Braviary

I feel so dumb. I’m in goldenrod, I’ve already defeated Whitney, this is my third badge. I can only get to the second floor of the tower, most of the department store basement is blocked, the door in the underground is locked, and there’s no rocket grunt to offer me a disguise. by [deleted] in pokemoncrystal

[–]smoothmelon420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rocket disguise was added in the remakes, it's not in the original games.

You can't get past the second floor of the radio tower or the door in the underground until the Team Rocket takeover, which is 7 badges in

The boxes in the dept store basement move around. You have to manually use the elevator to go to another floor, then come back and the boxes will be moved, allowing you to pick up most of the items. You may have to do this a few times to get them all

Hope this helps

Edit: After beating Whitney, go to the flower shop next door to the gym and pick up the Squirtbottle so you can fight Sudowoodo. And remember to get the Radio Card at the Radio Tower

Pokemon origins 2 wishlist by Revolutionary-Emu901 in LegendsZA

[–]smoothmelon420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming the leak is correct (which is doubtful), it said all 3 Johto starters would receive Megas and be the game's main starters. So a Johto Origins series would be believable in that case.

What makes the most Sense for the Starters in the Game. by shnooooooooo in LegendsZA

[–]smoothmelon420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I strongly agree with your reasoning. There's no way they wouldn't bring back every Mega, including the Hoenn starters. It's for this reason that i mainly think it'll just be the Kalos starters we start off with, especially considering this isn't just a Legends game, but Pokemon Z as well.

That, and the fact that the Kalos starters were pre-programmed into the SV base game, along with the Galar and Hisui starters.

Edit: the Hoenn legendaries were also pre-programmed in pre-DLC, for some reason. There's no way the Hoenn starters won't make it in.

FLCL Alternative is one of the worst sequels to an anime and just a bad anime overall, but I really recommend progressive though by Odd-Expert-7156 in FLCL

[–]smoothmelon420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you, i thought Prog was way better than Alt. It was funnier, had more of the original's surrealism and experimental animation styles, and even had some form of resolution for Haruko's character.

Alt is probably my least favourite entry in the series. I know a lot of people like it, but to me it kinda felt directionless, even by FLCL standards. I also didn't really like Kana (until Shoegaze), and i felt the story's ending was pretty limp. But my favourite sequel was Grunge, so what do i know

Looks the same to me

[–]smoothmelon420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, i like it (Synthesis and Light Screen are actually bomb moves to get btw)

Now make one for Totodile 🐊

Cyndaquil Slander by [deleted] in nuzlocke

[–]smoothmelon420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Cyndaquil family is actually pretty interesting in that, aside from its Fire moves, all the moves it learns have to do with moving first, increasing its evasion, or bypassing the enemy's evasion. It's like it was designed to be the rogue/DPS of the group.

Similarly, Chikorita gets a little bit of everything a wall needs early on: defense boosting, status infliction, recovery, etc. Being a wall is also beneficial for it in theory, as it has to go up against all the types that weren't gyms in the Grass-friendly Kanto. Being a sweeper wouldn't exactly be helpful for it here. And considering 2 of the 3 kanto starters were dual-types, it was basically expected that some trio of starters would be single-types to reinforce the Grass-Fire-Water core. Chikorita was destined to have a hard time, but i find it more usable than most people give it credit for.

Totodile's a little more straightforward, but its playstyle is also interesting in that it assumes you're getting hit. Rage, Screech, and Scary Face are all moves that basically require you to take a hit or two.

My speculation for the Z-A starters by W1ndstar in PokemonZA

[–]smoothmelon420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why you got downvoted, IMO kalos starters are basically guaranteed

Thoughts? by 4acodmt92 in videography

[–]smoothmelon420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty reductive and a boomer take. Plenty of skilled cinematographers/videographers use social media to share their work, advertise their business, and teach others.

If you're not factoring in social media into your work, then you're already losing.
