Pokémon Z-A is gonna be peak purely because Totodile is a starter WHOOO

I really wish Pokémon games would show us more of how Pokémon are a part of the society in the way the TCG does. There's so much world building in the card artworks, some Pokémon have jobs and others are pets. There's so much lore shown in the artworks, yet the games fail at showing us any of it.

Immersive Arceus EX card on my second pack this morning! Today was a good day 😍

Bask in the glory of the lord 🙏

💯

The new #PokemonTCG Pocket set is gonna give Dialga a few neat tools! Arceus EX is an amazing addition to the deck. Adaman is interesting and may be worth testing, too

Today I learned that Pumpkaboo has headlight boobies! Now I’m one step closer to being a Pokemon master.

Happy #PokemonDay everyone! Repost with a gif of your favorite Pokemon

two side-by-side screenshots of Taunie from the Pokemon Legends Z-A trailer

text from the trailer that reads "Which character you meet will depend on the appearance you choose for yourself in the game."

a picture of Obi-Wan Kenobi, with a slightly modified quote reading "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of lesbians suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."

Post a Pokemon you’d like to see get a Mega Evolution!

The Space-Time Smackdown gold emblem challenge in Pokemon TCG Pocket was a fun time! Dialga is a blast to play and has a strong matchup spread 💪 People complain about PVP in PTCGP, but my experience using this deck was great!

Here’s the full deck profile: cooltrainerjoni.substack.com/p/ptcgp-dialga

and old Pokémon handbook page of Professor oak giving advice to the player saying that there’s only one masterball and that you should use it on a fearow or tentacruel

I hope no one followed this advice

Happy birthday to the 150th Pokemon, Mewtwo! 🥳

“I see now that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevent,it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.”

Interesting choices! Salamence is a Pokemon that really captivated me as a kid playing Gen III, so I’ve always had a soft spot for it

I’m a sucker for cute little lizard mons.

Great taste! These are all really strong Pokemon designs.

You know what? Shark Girl looks great here. She’s got a cute matching set with the comfy bike shorts. Her top is low enough that it won’t bother her gills, and she’s got nice makeup that really accentuates her little shark eyes. It’s a good look for her.

The upcoming trainer Pokemon cards for the PTCG have me really intrigued. I think the Stephen deck appeals to me the most, but Hop’s cards also seem fun to play. N’s deck has interesting mechanics. And I love Iono’s Kilowattrel. Gosh they’re all so good!

I’m really getting into Gen III Pokemon contests. My Sunflora, Apollo, won his Master Rank Beauty ribbon and is on his way to getting his portrait featured in Lilycove Museum.

Somewhere along the way, my Pokemon Emerald playthrough morphed into a surprisingly addictive farming simulator. Tending to my berries is a highlight of my day.

Phione and Manaphy are based off mutations that sea angels can have based off the climate they are born in. It’s why they’re a good marker for sea acidification and global warming rates for researchers.

Manaphy is the mutation born from what otherwise would have ordinarily been a Phione.

Who wouldn’t take a vacay after that debacle? He’s managing his crash out better than most.

And Porygon did nothing wrong! IIRC it was Pikachu’s lightning that caused the strobe effect.

You’d catch me in 2003 playing Pokemon Ruby while watching my Lilo & Stitch VHS on repeat for sure.

These are incredible! All of them are. I LOVE that game and you nailed the style.

I was correct in my prediction that playing a tanky Terapagos deck would make my wife hate playing Pokemon TCG with me (Bravery Charm + Curly Wall + scoop up supporters to heal when the turtle’s HP gets low)

I regret nothing

I’m at the point in Pokemon Emerald where the whole map has opened up and I’m about to go apartment hunting.

My childhood secret base was in the grass pile just west of Fortree, so I think I’ll start there.

What’s your favorite place to build a secret base in Pokemon Gen III? I’m curious.

I’m replaying Pokemon Emerald & I love how many great little spots there are in Hoenn.

Like this one by Meteor Falls on Rt 115. When I first found it 20 years ago, it felt like a secret tucked away. It would have been easy to go right past it. The region really rewards exploration, and that rules.
