the "pikachu icon" actually looks like an amalgamation of both pikachu & eevee.

*That moment when you've been carrying around the same level 100 blastoise ever since 1996*

I remember transfering my Red Gyarados from Soul Silver all the way to Sword and it had a Legend Ribbon since i used it to defeat Red. So seeing "Go! Gyarados The Living Legend!" was just so awesome. Had it on a Charizard, Raikou and some other Pokémon as well.

Rival: I’ll beat you this time!
Me: laughs in shiny Giratina*

Nidoran: You will...

"Once the move is forgotten, it cannot be remembered."

I fuckin love it.

[distractioncat]

"Hey, what are you doing with that?"
"Oh, just playing with my pet."
"THATS A NECROZMA!"
"Necrozma, roll over!"
*necrozma rolls over*
"DUDE THATS A LEGENDARY AND YOU ARE TREATING IT LIKE A DOG!"
*Yamper comes along and also rolls over*
"i cant even-"

I've been playing Pokemon since Red and Blue came out so yeah, I'm old. Imagine if that watch battery inside the cartridge still had enough juice in it after 20 years and making the transfer voyage to gen. 8 to have the same team you've beaten the Elite Four of Kanto with when you were a child back in 1999 - 2000. That very team that was once 8 bit on a monochrome screen now in full 3D. I can't even comprehend it.

“What happens if you lose a trainer battle with 0 poke dollars”

[iamlegend]

The "Pikachu" symbol kind of looks like both pokemon. It looks like the symbol could either be Pikachu or Eevee, it just depends on how you look at it.

[CLICKMENAME]

I remember someone commenting how they had their teams from Blue, and everyone was calling them some nasty names, but it is possible to transfer gen 1&2 Pokemon to Gen 3, albeit a lengthy and difficult process that requires some 3rd party hardware, emulators, and a few other things. In Gen 4, it'll say faraway place in the Pokémon's info. A document titled, "Converting Gen 1 &2 Pokemon to Gen 3 and Beyond" explains in full detail on how to do it.

“The majority of Pokémon you can obtain are- “Old spice sweat protection”

I died when I heard this ad

Imagine getting into a vs battle and seeing someone with a missingno

[championlillieslovablelife]

When you read the part about Bubble, I literally cried. RIP old moves...

[envyliac]

I love how the Pokémon from the first 2 gens say “How nostalgic!” After the description

[WonderingCaldera]

I was attacked when he said "really old games" for Ruby and Sapphire

[ErikCPianoman]

I feel like a lot of these things missing, point towards a slightly rushed development. If I was a betting man, either a big bug or something late in development caused them to never get around to putting in these finishing touches.

I wish they’d add some of these features/special dialogue boxes via dlc. As of right now, even the professor and ppl who give you the Pokédex react like you’re talking to them for the first time, when you show them a complete dex. Very underwhelming.

[TheOmegaDragon]

They removed a lot of features and I can say with confidence that they basically nerfed it in favor of dynamax which really isn't all that compared to Mega Evolution and Z-moves
