I'm the Mind, I do the thinking, pond'ring, calculating, tink'ring 'round with patterns, rhymes and reasons, rhythms syncopate, analyses and words. Hi, I'm Heart, I don't speak often Mind is helping me transcribe these not thoughts, feelings that I whisper to his ear so he can make them heard...

I was once again reminded of how delightfully absurd the food mechanics in Pokemon are. Starting back in Gen 3, where each berry was given flavor text describing its size and texture and culinary uses and whatnot, all the way to Gen 9, where there's an entire physics engine dedicated to...

I think this is the first time in a while that all the fully evolved mons of the given type have had equal distribution.

Since we know the temperature of Magcargo's "skin" isn't consistent due to part of it being solidified into a shell, it's possible that only a small part of it is 18,000° (like its heart or something) which provides the heat for the rest of its body, sort of like how the Earth has a giant 9,800°...

I agree that Dudunsparce is the best evolution Dunsparce could have possibly gotten, though I still think it would have been better to just never give it an evolution. Dunsparce was perfect just the way it was.

Putting aside the weirdness of basing a move tutor off a quiz, why the hell did they throw in six extra moves to the tutor pool? And why those six moves specifically? They don't seem to have anything in common besides being in this one tutor pool.

That thread is about EV training in Colosseum, and the post you linked isn't even about Colosseum; it's about XD. I meant the trainers in this mode, the Battle Tower Pokemon Stadium mode of Colosseum. Do they have EVs on their Pokemon? What are their IVs? I've found an old GameFAQs walkthrough...

Do the Pokemon in Colosseum's Battle Mode have EVs and/or IVs?

"Across earth, sea, and sky, beauty is everywhere!" :rhydon::flygon::milotic::kingdra::beautifly::altaria: (it's the Beauty trainer class, get it?) If you discard Salamence, each of Hoenn's Dragons have some interesting things in common. First, they're all varying degrees of elegant and...

One push-up

:sv/porygon::sv/porygon2::sv/porygon-z: The inconsistent punctuation between Porygon2 and Porygon-Z used to annoy me, but I recently realized it's likely a reference to how filename restrictions have gotten more lax over the years, which I find very charming. If Porygon2 ever gets a...

So long that I don't recognize you at all. Where do we know each other from?

Y'all, the problem with Gyarados isn't its movepool. Its movepool, even its physical one, is fine. The problem is that it's bad at shooting lasers.

:rb/gyarados: :gs/gyarados: Gyarados having its Special Attack gutted in the Special split. The joke of a weak pathetic fish turning into a giant rampaging dragon doesn't land as well when its Hydro Pumps and Fire Blasts aren't actually that strong. Make Gyarados the 580 BST leviathan it was...

I just finished Colosseum (mostly, I still gotta finish purifying everyone before trying to get Ho-oh) and holy shit the game is fun. It wasn't particularly hard, which surprised me since I had imposed an extra challenge on myself by being extra-stingy with TMs*. Only real instance of grinding...
