I don't think we'll see Alluring Voice or Psychic Noise just because those moves feel better suited to not being Water type. Ice Beam feels like a given. If you're a special attacking water type you gotta have the beam! If nothing else so Clodsire can't just say no to you, much less any other...

That time once more

I'd say X-Scissor works thematically for Pinsir, the cross-section of the horns and all

We didn't even get the weird unseen ultra beast giovanni was using so we'd probably not even see the things they hypothetically might use Bit surprised Masters hasn't done anything with that little detail, even just a Giovanni + A UB (Guzzlord, probably?) alt.

We know from a bunch of development documents and timelines that yes Pokemon originally did just do a bunch of generic attacks, then they transitioned into a regular attacks + Fire/Ice/Electric and then into the type system we know (where Pokemon themselvse now had types and a suite of moves of...

I actually never knew this was a thing My gut was it's when you get the 8th badge, since that's when you're forced to return to the Lab and it just feels like a point where you'd see an update to it Sure enough, it seems to be gone here.

Oh that's what I was thinking of! Double checking tcrf shows that the sprite file associated with it was even called Danpei

Generally speaking the reason for a random assortment of Pokemon will generally boil down to: they're just a random selection of Pokemon put into background characters Looking at the episode pictures it seems msot of them aside from Gible (Hassel's) and Pawmot (Nemona's) are indeed just there...

Enigma Berry is, to my understanding, effectively just a placeholder berry in Gen 3 It's only meant to "exist" in so far as it's what gets overridden by the eReader berries & they need something to display in scenarios where the other player doesn't have the e-reader berry scanned in themselves...

The fun thing is he's been Dan ("Danpei") internally in Gen 6 & Let's Go. I also thought he was "danpei" before that, but I guess not. However while double checking that I learned that the Gen 5 guide had his own name, Clyde! So that's fun.

The fast currents one is funny because I think its worse because it feels way more intentional. Like it's pachinko by design to make getting to the regi chamber harder (since they clearly wanted that whole questline start to finish to be extremely involved), so all the little offshoots are meant...

A personal opinion that the larger stakes make it more serious and thus darker. Related to this, we see that their view of Rainbow Rocket follows in the same suit. RR is a larger stakes story: multi-verse domination, hostile take overs. We can then build on that information to how it went to...

I know Japan also uses "hip" to sometimes specifically mean "butt" so I'll guess "arms" in this case is not as literal in Japanese as it reads in English

She also beat out a bunch of really notable men, yes. It's very funny I think Arven was also on those lists, which makes it funnier

I will say that Lusamine in USUM does still have work ahead of her and she's aware of it, but you only really notice it if you go out of your way to talk to her about it. To an extent, I think it's a slightly more interesting end point for her character than the end of SM (the last we see of...

The only reason I can see why the power up abilities don't say they activated is because if they did, they'd also have to say when they deactivated (on heal) so you don't think it's a permabuff until you switch out. Which is something other "threshold" abilities do, but they're usually tied to a...

Hoping that the pair will be somewhat good enough that people want to do a bunch of them so they populate the GTS.

Which reminds me of my old conspiracy theory: I feel like Hop had to be like...one of the first characters really put together? Aside from reusing Hau's animations (which sticks out even relative to other early game characters, who generally don't have that issue), Hop's mouth work and other...

I'd look at the scrapped aspect in a slightly different light. The games only came out 8 months apart in Japan, they were likely developed partially concurrently and Emerald also has Altering Cave with all the same Pokemon despite the extension. To me it seems like they scrapped the event...

legitimately I think this is just a coincidence. It's just a stretch and there's more differences in body language.
