Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
Have a sneak peek at The Misadventures of Sirfetch'd and Pichu! Coming sometime in 2027 to...Disney+ and Disney XD?! Okay...
I DO like the voices for this one. And the animation is, of course, top notch. I'm looking forward to this.
Also, just a heads up. Disney XD is airing the classic Kanto-era Pokemon anime. So, if you're feeling nostalgic and happen to still have cable, check it out sometime!

BIG NEWS! After years, we're FINALLY getting another Pokemon movie!
...And it's based on the TCG?!
...And it's based on the TCG?!
Question! Is this a good thread for general monster catching games, or just Pokemon?
I've been playing through the other 'big' names in the genre recently that I haven't already played and I have access to, other than PalWorld since I'll die on the hill that it's not actually in the genre, and would love to discuss them.
I just got to a certain meeting in Cassette Beasts. God I'm excited for the sequel next year.
Edit:
45 hours later, and I'm going to be real. I think I liked this more than mainline Pokemon. I'm still deeply looking forward to WiWa, but I may just be looking forward to Cassette Beasts 2002 more, now.
PS: Sunny is best partner.
Second edit:
65 hours in and other than the secret boss that I have no interest in grinding to get to, I've basically 100% this. All beasts recorded, all quests cleared.
FANTASTIC game. The build-crafting in this is scratching my Looter Shooter brain in a lovely way.

Lovely Spam! Wonderful Spam!
essential-japan.com
(I've heard of spamming moves, but this is ridiculous!)
Pokemon is getting a special collaboration with Spam in South Korea. Because Spam is big holiday business in other countries, apparently.
There's something kinda disturbing about Charmander's happy, smiling face being plastered on a can of processed meat. Hasn't Charmander been through enough?! And Ditto Spam just does not sound appetizing. Some of the plushies are cute, though.
...But, I'll admit, this feels like a missed opportunity for a "Farfetch'd in Leek-Onion Gravy" Spam flavor. Or a "Smokey Emboar" flavor.
Ditto, Snorlax and Charmander Star in Pokémon's New Official SPAM Collab
Pokémon is teaming up with Korean food giant CJ CheilJedang for a new 30th anniversary collaboration that turns one of the country's most familiar holiday gifts into something considerably more collectible.

Wait two months and release a Slowpoke Tail flavor.
As of today, Fire Red and Leaf Green should be compatible with Pokemon Home.
From the sounds of things you only need to send ONE Pokemon over for it to sync to your Dex in-game. You can also only send over one of some Legendary Pokemon over to Home, so you can't just start a new game and get a bunch of Legendaries. It's a one way trip, so I'd just send one over the first time, just to update your Home Dex. If you manage to complete the Kanto Dex from these games in Home, you can get yourself a Celebi!

Wish there were a way to report spammers on Pokemon Home. I mean a guy wants Eternal Flower Floette for Sword and Shield as a example.
I was at Gamestop yesterday and picked up a pack of the 30th anniversary to open up as I was told that they all have a Pikachu in it. The guy at the counter said he had bad luck pulling packs, so I had him get me one of the top instead of the bottom, and it had a full art Mewtwo EX in it! Not a bad pack!

Just a heads up, Pokemon Unite will be shutting down on March 23 2027.
www.cbr.com
I never played the game myself, but it's kind of a shame. I mean, with Pokemon doing a half-dozen mobile games, they couldn't all go on forever. But, they JUST did a Unite episode in the Horizons anime. So, this must have been a pretty recent decision.
Nintendo Game Will Officially Disappear Forever On March 23
The Pokémon Company has announced that it is shutting down a formerly popular mobile game, which will officially end service on March 23, 2027.

I don't think that I have ever heard of this game before.
Yeah, it might be the type of game that you only see during Pokemon Directs, when they're advertising new costumes and stuff. It's been out since 2021. It sounds like it was a okay game, if you like MOBAs.
Side-note, but I did finally break down and play Leaf Green. Just to say that I did. I never visited the Sevii Islands before. It's kind of a unique way to add some Gen 2 Pokemon in there. But, I do wish there was more to them. You basically just clean out a old Rocket warehouse and that's it for the post-game story. Some of the ruins are kind of interesting. Wish they would have expanded on that, a little. I guess what I really want is the Orange Islands from the anime.
And, man...it is a little rough going back to Gen 3. There's so many little things that you forget didn't exist back then. The Physcial/Special split. Quick Balls. Experience All. Moveset changes. How slow it is to get eggs and experience this generation. The limited bag space that makes me LONG for Bagin's upgrades from Legends Arceus. False Swipe not even being a TM. And Legendaries that know Recover are just EVIL!
But, I did finish the game! And caught everything I could. No idea how to trade for the Fire Red exclusives I'm missing, though. Even Home's GTS isn't able to filter out Pokemon based on their origin game. So, I can't even put them up on the GTS and guarantee to get them that way, without getting sniped. So, I might just be stuck at 125 for the Leaf Green Dex. Even though, I have of box of 'mons ready to trade if I ever get the chance. REALLY wish Game Freak had found a way to make the Union Room work online.
But, y'know what? It was kind of nostalgic. It's a alright little game. It did make me appreciate how far we've come since Gen 3. And...this may be the "best" way to experience pure-Kanto, depending on how you feel about Let's Go's catching gimmick. I wouldn't call this the best game in the series, but it's probably not the worst, either.

Actually, after looking it up, it seems like you CAN trade between Fire Red and Leaf Green, you just have to use Friend Trades on the mobile version of Home to do it. We might need to limit it to 10 trades per day, but it seems to be doable!
So...anyone with Fire Red want to trade me for the Leaf Green exclusives?

Wish I could help, but the only pokemon games that I have played are on the Switch and the 3DS.
Sorry, I want to get fire red again at some point, but I'm trying to clean out a backlog of games as it is. x.x;
Well, this is unexpected! They're having a distribution of Spewpa in Legends Z-A! And if you evolve that Spewpa it will evolve into one of the missing Vivillion patterns that can't be caught normally.
If enough players evolve enough Spewpa, they'll do another distribution of a Pokeball-Pattern Spewpa. So, get to evolving your butterflies!
It runs until November 19, so you have some time, but it really doesn't take long to evolve a Spewpa.
I'm kind of curious what everyone gets. From the sound of things, it's just random. It doesn't sound like it's based on region like in other games.
Although, more interestingly, I wonder if this means more content for Z-A is coming, or if THIS is it, this time? I'm still waiting for Deoxys, despite evidence to the contrary.
EDIT: I got the Sun Pattern! I'm pretty satisfied with that. It's a nice one. We'll have to see if they let us catch more different patterns, later, I guess.

Enough pretty butterflies were evolved, so we are getting that Pokeball-Pattern Vivillion distribution in Legends Z-A! It runs until February 26, so you do have some time. But, be sure to get it, since Pokeball-Pattern Vivillion is actually a pretty rare event-only pattern.
Oh, yeah, it started today. Before I even posted anything, they started distributing them. You can get it right now.
