This article contains spoilers for the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC and the Sonic IDW comics. So a while ago you might have heard me mention an idea for a Pokemon X Sonic IDW story where Dr. Starline encounters Pecharunt and hijinks ensue. Unfortunately, I was never able to come up with a feasible plot for this story, for several reasons; one of which was that all of the major characters were terrible people and I couldn't come up with a conclusion that felt fitting. However, since it's April Fool's Day and traditionally I've used this day to post things I wouldn't post otherwise such as abandoned WIPs, I decided that now is as good a time as any to drop my abandoned story concept so y'all can at least see how far I actually got. First off, here's as far as I got with the actual story: And here are my notes as to where the plot was going before I realized that I had no decent ideas for the plot:

Ah, yes. the feeling of starting a new Journey across a new region. Pokemon has a bittersweet place in my heart. Sometimes, I love it to DEATH. other times, its dead. My first Adventrue started in Alola, where as 7 year old me, had beaten the game on a double-decker bus, where My Incinaroar was victorious, along the screen of my 2DS. My second Journey resurfaced in Paldea, where I got more competitive and careful about choices (Back then, I choose only attacking moves, no set ups). I named my Poke'Mon better, and it was a nice restart. Until I beat the game. it got SO boring, and when I play the game, I feel like I'm doing chose than anything. Im getting off track, but id like to introduce to you My own Region: The Auroraia Region! Based on different parts on earth, and home, of a Mysterious Prism. Lemme give you a run down on story: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You are A Teen who is very egar to adventure and help those in need. Because you and your parents have the money (And researchers), You move from Alola to the Infamous Auroraia Region. There is a lot of history around the region about a Peculiar Prism, Said to be from another world. Your parents were called from Alola’s Aether Paradise, to help out and learn more about it. your parents allowed you to Explore the region because back in alola, you had nothing to do with your time, and couldn't go anywhere. So with that in mind, you Start your Very own Pokemon Journey. After Choosing your Starter, your mom yells from the kitchen to wake up for breakfast. You get up, go downstairs and eat. Your dad starts a conversation talking about how old and mature you're getting. “Yup! That's right- it's your birthday!!” She continuously talks about how young you were. Your dad clears his throat. “Yes, you are now 13. Since you are now in a new Town, and you are getting just as tall as your old man- we are letting you explore the region!” Your mom starts getting emotional. “Awwww, our little [Player], going out on their own!” Your dad says that first: you need your very own trainer ID before going anywhere. You fill out your ID and your dad starts again “Now, of course, what's a Pokemon Journey without a Pokemon? We will see you later, Champ! Come back when you have your little buddy with you, eh?” “Be Safe out there, honey!!” your mom cries out before you take your leave. In the house, if you go back into your room, you will see a VR headset, right beside your PC. if you interact with it, you can open up your box, emails (used for rewards Post-game), and items. In there, you will find a Brew (Potion equivalent, and a little easter egg to the old Pokemon games) you can also see a TV with a Console that looks like the Steam Deck. you then can go outside, behind the house to find a Tonic (equivalent to Elixirs). You make your way to the Professor's lab, and they welcome you to the Auroraia region. They give you a choice between the starter you choose and a new creature. The Professor also mentions that 2 other professors in this region are having a Friendly competition and a challenge for all the professors. The challenge is to entrust a Pokemon to a trainer and send them out into the world to see how much research material they bring back. The county with the most wins. “But first, let's test your skills!” They initiate a battle. You learn the basics of battling, or you skip the tutorial and get straight to the battle. After you win, the professor finally trusts you with your new buddy. “Alright, now that we have established that, let me stamp your Trainer ID, to show you are licensed to handle Pokemon in battle.” The professor does so, and lets you off, but then gets stopped at the door outside. “Wait! I almost forgot! Your device!” He gives you a strange device that looks like a mini-folding Game handheld. He explains that this is a Poke’DS, a Staple in everyone's journey. He goes on, saying that this will serve as your digital Trainer ID, Map of the region, and most importantly, a Library of information on all different types of Creatures you’ve seen. The map lets you find your way around. You can set destinations, call taxis to Travel to places you have been, and see what you need to do next if you feel stuck. “Oh, while I'm here, and before I forget, here! Some PokeBalls!” you Obtain 10 Poke’balls. “They catch creatures when they are weak enough, so they can be registered onto your Poke’DS. Do you know how to already? I know you're very smart.” You then can choose yes or no. If yes, you just move on, but if no, you watch the professor do it. “Alright! I think you're all set!” you are now free to move around, but you have a notification on your Poke’DS that says to go back home. You do, and your dad welcomes you home, and your mom congratulates you on getting a Starter. Your dad notices that you have a new gizmo in your pocket. You tell him all about it, saying the professor gave it to you. “Oh, how nice of him. You know, we haven't said this, but that professor is their new boss. I might have to thank him for helping out our little champ!” you are now free to go, and explore the city. Depending on what county you choose to live in, there are Pokemon of that type around you can catch right off the bat. Also depending on what county you choose, you replace the friendly rival of that county. They are off in the background doing something, but if you talk to them, you get something important, like a battle item Pokemon can hold to boost their type attack, but if you pick the other starter, you get a friendship bracelet, that boosts friendship between one of your pokemon. Friendship is going to be a luck factor that makes Pokemon do things like enduring hits, avoiding attacks, and clear status conditions with a cheer. Friendship can be boosted without the bracelet by going to restaurants and eating with your Pokemon buddy, or cleaning and washing them. Petting them now and then helps out too. Once you walk around and are ready to leave- the professor comes back. “Oh, dear me! I'm so forgetful! I didn't say how you can get your research information!” He says that every professor has some missions for you, like treasure hunts and dungeons and scavenger hunts too. They aren't mandatory, but you should go do it. By doing them, the professor will give you rewards. Battling all of the trainers in one area, you can get a reward from a guy at the pokecenter. After meeting all of the Pokemon, and going to small, individual cities, you will find a Colosseum (gym equivalent, still deciding on the name) after beating them, you will get an Arena badge. The Arena leader there will tell you that you should get all the gym badges since you are so strong, and have a lot of potential too ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, I know, you might be a tad confused as to why the professor doesn't have a name. well, if this game is really to be sold, then there will be 3 game versions, Red, Blue, And Green. Whichever Starter you choose, depends in what area of the game you start in. Fire-Lover? you start in the Aridora County, Based on Dubai and Korea, in Ingnitown, with professor Mirage. Water Supporter? You might enjoy the Auqaria County, based on iceland and the Canadian Rockies, in Summitvale with Professer Frostwood. Grass enjoyed? You start in The Amazoria County, based on Brazil, With a cozy home in canopyville with professor Verde. in those towns, there is a trainer that gives you both a fourth starter, AND a friendship bracelet. the map is MASSIVE, with intreasting locations sprinkled about. there will be 2 other friendly rivals, depending on what version. one is serious, while the other, Happy-Go-Lucky. here are some names: Water: Marina, The passionate water specialist, or Maverick, the adventurous spirit Grass: Sage, the wise herbalist, or Thorn, the cynical rival. Fire: Blaze, the Determined Prodigy, or Inferno, the arrogant pyromaniac. The starting towns will match the starter, and as you do more quest for your professor, the more they can use that knowledge to upgrade the starting town. now then, lets talk about the Starters themselves! Breazleaf > Zephyvine > Galeblade Aquafin > Streamare > Oceanara Flametuft > Blazekit > Inferlion The Breazleaf line resembles A humanoid Figure, made from Vibrant leaves. The head of Breezleaf features a cluster of leaves, similar to the shape of a wind-blown hairstyle. Breezleaf's eyes are bright and expressive, reflecting its playful and energetic nature. it is nimble and lightweight, reflecting its ability to generate small gust of wind, making it "fly". The Aquafin line has otter-like resembalence, making it sleek for fast swimming, including webbed paws and a long, flexible tail. it can make small currents of water. its fighting abilities is very extraordinary, as it can go on the offence and attack with jets lof water, and swiftly switch to defence to make protective water barriers. Flametuft's Line is a mix of a fox and a lion. it has a tuft of hair of its head, which emits mild heat. its very mischievous, and is very agile. The battle Gimmick of this Region is "Prismatic Fusion"! the story behind it is that Legends speak of an ancient artifact known as the Prism of Unity, said to possess the power to merge and harmonize the energies of Pokémon. Long ago, the region faced a devastating crisis that threatened to tear it apart. The people of the region discovered that the Prism of Unity could be used to bring balance and restore harmony. The artifact was divided into fragments and hidden across the region to safeguard its power. As the player embarks on their journey, they learn about the Prism of Unity and the fragments scattered throughout the region. The player's goal becomes to collect these fragments and harness the power of Prismatic Fusion to confront the impending crisis. the gimmick itself is similar to Mega-Evolution, where you use it on Specific Pokemon that possess a special compatibility with the Prismatic Energy. These Pokémon are scattered throughout the region and are known as "Prism-Bound Pokémon." Prismatic Fusion allows trainers to merge their Pokémon with the power of the Prism fragments, unleashing their combined potential and creating unique forms known as "Prism Forms." By accessing this power, trainers can temporarily enhance their Pokémon's abilities, granting them new moves, altered stats, and even changes in appearance. Prism Forms provide strategic advantages, giving trainers the ability to adapt to different battles and counter specific opponents. However, the fusion is temporary and can only be activated once per battle. Trainers must carefully choose when to activate Prismatic Fusion to maximize its effectiveness and overcome tough challenges. Through the exploration of the region and the pursuit of the Prism of Unity, the player becomes a key figure in restoring balance and harmony to the region, ultimately leading to the resolution of the crisis and the revelation of the true power hidden within the Prism of Unity.

Razor Wind decreed, and it has come. POKEMON ANIME GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD. So, we were all kids growing up and watching this show. I watched it most of my Saturday mornings and played Stadium right after. Loved seeing new Pokemon, loved the adventurous feel of the journey and liked Ash and his companions growing up. A great source of comedy, action, feels, and other things for a young age. Basically, discuss your thoughts on the show and if you grew up with it, and if you're still watching it to this day, share and discuss your thoughts later seasons while talking about current episodes as well. EDIT: Because dated OP and dated title

Not sure if topics like these are banned or not, so if they are then I sincerely apologize. So this doesn't directly confirm Pokémon NFTs, but the fact that it even mentions these at all is a gigantic red flag, and if they actually go through with this then both the company and brand can get absolutely fucked for all I care. It's real by the way

Basically a fusion of Neo Metal Sonic and Eternamax Eternatus from Pokemon. Art by juspeczik. https://www.deviantart.com/juspeczik/art/Eternal-Metal-Sonic-Commission-for-NinGemTitan-910058517

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the most maddening thing to come out of 2014 yet. TwitchPlaysPokemon. http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon To those who haven't seen it yet, it's a stream of an emulated Pokemon Red/Blue and it's played by the users who join the chat. You can input commands by typing Up, Down, Left, Right, A, B, Start, Select (can only use one input per post though) and while there is some input lag from when you type and when the stream shows what happens (estimated a good 20-40 seconds), that probably just adds to the madness. This results in some rather.... interesting results. I think it's quite hilarious. There's over 40,000 people viewing this and the lack of coordination is just ridiculous, I can't help but laugh each time I tune into this channel. As of this initial post, they have 92 hours logged in, achieved 3 badges so far, and are bumbling about in Celadon City trying to cut that dang tree Edit: THEY FINALLY CUT THE TREE! They're currently fighting through the 4th gym right now. As this topic persists, I'll update as they get further. Update: Current Progress: Day 6 in, We currently have 4 badges, got the Silph Scope, and are bumbling around in Lavender Tower. Update: I can't keep up, sorry guys. XD

When you look at the most common of a certain type of animal or bug...well, that's what someone would think about when a certain species is mentioned. There could be so many more variations of pokemon, that are different colors, learn different movesets, or different stats. There would be no need for shiny pokemon with this kind of variation. >.> Imagine a Heracross, brown in color, one-sharp-point horn, and a very round shell. Imagine an onyxs(or is it onyxi?) made of every type of mineral. Imagine fuzzy versions of bugs, fuzzy caterpies? fuzzy weedles? A marill with a longer tail? And instead of matching the stat variations to personalities, (which can change) they could tie the stat variation to the variations of pokemon. I'm not saying personalities shouldn't affect stats, just that personalities should be malleable. I would add a third type to the pokemon too. Maybe have it affect the battles a little less than the first two types....a subtype. That would help with designing slightly different movesets for the new variations of pokemon. I want to know who likes my idea. If I get no responses, I shall take it as nobody likes it. Don't be afraid to add to this, or tell me this is a terrible idea.

So, I Draw stuff, especially silly stuff or stuff involving Pokemon or better yet, Both. Not very good mind you, but that Never stopped me before.   with that said, here is what I have to show forth; Grim Grinning Ghost Pokemon Simply a Picture with my Three Favourite Ghost Pokemon as the Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion Ride in Disneyland, this was alot of Fun to Draw actually and is still one of my Favourites among the stuff I drew. Dead Pokes Tell no Tales To Continue with the Disney-rides-plus-Pokemon stuff I created this piece based on the Prisoners from the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride. ...Not Much else to say except that I like Growlithes Expression while Holding that Key ....that Heart in the Fire was unintentional, Honestly. a Bot of Many Faces Here is something Sonic Related for a Change. I really Love Orbot and Cubot, and I Highly Enjoyed Cubots Voice change Running Gag. So, what better way to show this then simply Putting all of These various Voices from the Japanese and Western Version of Colors onto one Picture. Boartool and Britool to Finish it up, here are some random Drawings of Metool, one with Boar Tusks and one with a Top Hat, because Top Hats are awesome.

Yuji Naka announced at a Sonic X press conference today that two new, unannounced Sonic games will be showcased at the upcoming E3 games expo in May. With this news, and the anime about to hit Japanese TVs, Naka-san exclaimed that he sees the Sonic franchise's main rival as not Super Mario, but Pokémon. According to a report on ZDNet Japan (interpreted by The GHZ), the Sonic Team leader was present at a joint SEGA-TV Tokyo press conference to discuss the Sonic X show. Expressing that Japanese Sonic fans had never had a cartoon of their own to enjoy, Naka-san said, "I am very glad that, at last, after twelve years, Japan will finally be seeing a Sonic animated show." Asked about the future of the games series, the developer revealed that after Sonic Adventure DX, two more games are being prepared to show at E3 2003 besides the already-announced Sonic Pinball Party. We know that the next mainline Sonic game will be shown at E3, so could the other one be a spinoff? "I see Pokémon as a rival of Sonic," Naka said with a smile (writes The GHZ), before adding "Here's to another 12 years!" View full story
