General Pokémon

[braix]

what if they make a gameboy pokemon

also i really liked hearthome and jubilife city, cant decide which one i liked better

[SlowPokemon]

Kanto: I love Lavender Town. It's got a great atmosphere and in general is just pretty relaxing to be in because of that sad music. (Didn't mean to steal yours Nebbles lol)

Johto: I like most of the towns in Johto, and Ecruteak is tied for my favorite but since Nebbles already elaborated I'll talk about my other favorite, Violet City. The sign in town calls it "the city of nostalgic scents," but if that's not enough, just look at the relaxed, rustic textures (in HGSS) or that strange, haphazard city design. It just reeks of character and the old-timey melody of the music there never fails to induce nostalgia.

Hoenn: Sootopolis City. I've heard complaints about this city because it's difficult to get to and awkward to navigate, with the cities' two halves separated by a big body of water. However, this is just such a strikingly fascinating city to me. The white, chilly textures and strange designs of the houses (not found anywhere else in the game) combined with that haunting, cool soundtrack (also not found anywhere else in the game) always gives me a very excited and pleasant feeling.

Sinnoh: I really, really love Floaroma Town. It has basically my favorite music in the game and to put such a relaxed town immediately after the first gym had a very cool effect on me. I think it's just a beautiful little town.

Unova: Definitely Castelia City. Unova is based on New York City, and Castelia is right where Manhattan is if you line up the map. It embodies all the positive reasons I've always dreamed of living in NYC, and if I could live in any Pokémon town, this would be my choice. I love how people are streaming by at all times of the day, and it takes almost an hour just to check out the whole city every time I get there for the first time. This is an odd choice, but my runner-up would be Anville Town. There's nothing to do here except look at the trains and listen to the girl play her flute, but it's such a lovely melody that I find myself going there whenever I get the chance in-game.

Kalos: Lumiose City is really nice, imo, for the same reasons as Castelia in Unova. I understand the complaints about getting around, but in my opinion, it just adds to the charm and it makes me feel totally immersed in this charming version of France Game Freak has created. Also, Shalour City. Dear god, the music is unbelievably affecting, and when it's combined with the zoomed-out view of Tower of Mastery, it almost makes me want to cry. The music also gives Geosenge Town a great ambience, and the trek through the muck and creepy swamps makes the fairytale atmosphere of Laverre City even more vibrant and interesting to me. Idk Kalos had a mix of really memorable towns and more forgettable ones (same as Sinnoh imo)

Sorry I wrote so much lmao

kanto: vermilion city 100%
johto: vermilion city 100% ok wait you're serious? uh... azelea or violet honestly i can't choose
hoenn: i like littleroot a lot, and sootopolis, and lilycove! actually though ever grande city might be my fave...

i don't remember the music of any of the other 3 enough to tell u my faves lmao

[Oronoco]

actually though ever grande city might be my fave...

In something-or-other grade way back when, I was part of a project to "create" a restaurant menu. So we founded the Ever Grande Restaurant: The paradise of flowers, the sea, and delicious food

On the back of the menu we made it's address at something-something Victory Rd. and we just felt so cool

[Latios212]

Aw man, elementary school when all the time was just talking about Pokémon with people lol

Hey, now that we know what themes people like, we should make them good for the site... I have a partial arrangement of Ever Grande but I haven't touched it in a couple months >_>

Happy 20th Birthday, Pokémon!
I tried to get the .jpg file, but I couldn't find one from my phone, so here's the link instead.

I really liked the Lavender Town theme from Gold and Silver, mostly because Lavender Town worried me as a child and I was happy to see it become a better place.

[Nebbles]

I love the GSC version of Lavender Tower, but I'm pissed the Pokemon Tower got torn down for a Radio Tower.

[E. Gadd Industries]

I saw this list of "leaked Sun & Moon Pokémon", and there are three of them that are the Time Species, and then there's a Quantum Species and Singularity species. The first Time says Ghost/Rock, and the other two are Ghost/Steel. Zeitgeists, I guess. Quantum is Normal/Ghost (tfw), and Singularity is Dark/Psychic. Oh, there's also a Thermodynamic species. Fire/Ice. Again, tfw. It's like Volcanion! XD Well, except the fact that Volcanion is Fire/Water

[Altissimo]

p sure thats fake

[Nebbles]

I saw that list, but I'm gonna assume it's fake until we see anything that makes it more believable.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

So... I just defeated an UU (-ish) team with my PU team... in OU (didn't want to bump the Pokemon Showdown topic).

[mikey]

ok what the karp that machoke was burned how did he do that

[TheDreamingHawk]

FYI: The Sun/Moon leak spreading around social media with the starters and everything is fake. The Japanese is all screwy and doesn't make sense at all, and the "boxart" seems to be just a heavily edited version of the Mega Man Battle Network 6 Title screens. Be careful guys.

That being said, they did confirm that Volcanion's distribution starts next month in JPN movie theaters, so that's when you should be able to go on a hunt for a legit Volcanion by looking for a trader

[E. Gadd Industries]

Finally!
