We love Skilpadde

More scenes from the new games, including some battles and encounters with two of the new Pokemon. Woot!
The only disappointing thing is that we see the trainer in the background and they're animated as well, I would have had a very strong preference to them not being shown at all, and if they did, they should be passive in the background and not distract from the Pokemon. So yeah, not a fan of that.

But the rest looks great! I was wondering about the lack of tall grass, but now we see clearly that it's there. And look how shiny they have made items on the ground. Also very good to see that we still will get experience for Pokemon we catch, not just the ones we defeat. I really hope the EXP share will still be a key item that will grant EXP to all party Pokemon.

I think these two videos have some very interesting ideas that could make for fun Pokemon games. The Pokemon Universe idea sounds very similar to Fantasy Life, and a Fantasy Life look like set in the Pokemon world is something I'd love to see.

Unlike the guy in the second video I don't have an issue with the formula used in the Pokemon games, but I think the idea of the kind of game he suggests is very interesting and would make for an awesome side game. by not making it a main series game, we'd also negate the problem of adding more regions to the main series later.

I'm hooked on Wazabi now. It's a lot of fun to play, addictive. There is even an online version of the game if anyone's interested.

I’ve seen plenty of ‘if I had my own Pokémon gym’ videos lately, and seen many good ideas. If I could live in the world of Pokémon, there are many things I would like to do before being a gym leader, I just don’t see the allure of being trainers’ steeping stones. But if I were to set up my own gym, I would have liked it to be a Turtle Gym of course.
I see my gym as being a park where turtle Pokémon move freely. Trainers can talk to them and they will give their cry, but they cannot be fought. Or caught
My team will consist of high level turtles, Torkoal (moves: Sunny Day, Solar Beam, either Inferno (with PP increased to its 8 max), Giga Impact or Stone Edge, and Lava Plume), Torterra (hopefully riding Torkoal’s Sunny Day, its moves will be Solar Beam, Earthquake, Stone Edge or Rock Slide and possibly Hyper Beam, Giga Drain or Energy Ball), Blastoise (Surf, Scald, Ice Beam, Earthquake), Carracosta (Surf, Shell Smash, Stone Edge and Hydro Pump; X Accuracy will be used when Carracosta is sent out), and Shuckle (moves: Power Split, Toxic, Shell Smash or Rest and possibly Rock Slide, Protect or Sand/Rock Tomb as its final move, and it will be holding a Chesto berry if it knows Rest).
If I’m defeated, the trainer will be given a TM. I would have wanted it to be Shell Smash, but apparently it’s not a TM. So yeah, I haven’t decided on that yet.
As for the badge, there’s only one possibility: Shell Badge, which will be formed like a shell.

Another idea I really like is this:
When a trainer enters my gym, they have to find their way through a Grass Maze. There they will have random encounters with high level grass types, with high likeliness of encountering dual types like Exeggcutor, Shiftry, Breloom , Tropius, Abomasnow, Whimsicott, Chesnaught and Ludicolo. I would have liked to have Mega Sceptile there but I don’t think Mega Sceptile can walk around without a trainer to activate its Mega Stone.
The maze will lead them to a trap door that will only open once they have defeated at least 4 Grass Pokémon.
The trap door will lead them down to a cave where they will have to use Surf and Dive in order to find the entrance to my lair. In the water they will encounter Water types like Poliwrath, Carracosta, Tentacruel, Cloyster, Starmie, Lapras, Gyarados, Azumarill, Sharpedo, Gastrodon and Kingdra. Diving they will find an entrance much like the one to Sootopolis City, where they will only be able to enter once they have defeated at least 4 Water types.
Obviously, they cannot run from a battle inside my gym and they cannot use Repel.
Once they enter my lair they will find me snuggled up with a nice book. As they approach me, they will be stopped by two Pokémon leaping in front of them. Mightyena and Noivern will be their final challenge, and it will be a Double Battle.
I haven’t decided what my badge will be, nor the TM.

Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on.

*applause*

Freddy Mercury's voice is mystical. So is Tarja Turunen's.

Yes, sea turtles hatchlings really do look like they are trying to fly when they're held up like that. (Of course, what it really is, is the automated swimming response that lasts for about 72 hours and makes them constantly swim once they reached the ocean. It's designed to help them get away from shore and far out into the sea where they will seek refuge in sea weeds and drift with it while they grow).

Turtles are so amazing

Happy day!!

Lovely turtle pics everyone
