Here's this week's stream schedule!✨
Doing Wednesday instead of Tuesday this week as
@Tearastar
is doing her 12-hour birthday stream tomorrow. (Catch it here: )
Also no Sunday stream as AEW All In is airing live from the UK.
To deny the existence of trans people is literal hate-speech.
@NICKMERCS
is straight-up spouting hate-speech here.
Will
@Twitch
uphold their own Community Guidelines? Doubtful.
Trans people are humans. Trans rights are human rights. Fuck bigotry.
🏳️⚧️
“There’s no such thing as trans people… that’s something that you created… so have fun with your little dream land, but that shit is not even real”
NickMercs gives his opinions on Transgenders
Sick of these paywalls.
Just found out if I wanna complete my Pokédex for Pokémon Blue I have to BUY a link cable to trade Pokémon through, or find a friend who BOUGHT one themselves.
How the fuck am I gonna get Oddish now? My life sucks. :(
Disappointed in the Pokémon Community.
2019 has been a year where we’ve seen the harrowing affects of mental health, and yet a large portion of our community has taken it upon themselves to harass and straight up bully an icon of the franchise to get the results they “deserve”.
REMEMBER:
The old Pokémon added in the Sword & Shield Expansion Pass are NOT paywalled.
The FREE update to Sword & Shield means they can be obtained by trading and via transfer from Pokémon HOME.
Don’t believe anyone saying they’re behind a paywall. That is false information.
Say what you want about Sword/Shield, but one person who has received nothing but unwarranted hate, vitriol and even death-threats is
@SerebiiNet
.
This guy has done nothing but report the news and try to stop the spread of misinformation.
#IStandWithSerebii
People actually replying “what is that team” like bro I’m sorry I didn’t consult you before enjoying the DLC with mons I like?
Is it because I’m not using Flutter Mane or Landorus? 😂
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that overworld wild Pokémon are now the new norm?
11 year old me playing Pokémon Blue would have lost his MIND.
Pokémon: *Makes new models*
Fans: “These aren’t new! They’re just upscaled! It’s so blatant!”
Palworld: *Quite obviously copies key design elements of specific Pokemon*
Fans: “How can you be sure of that? Are you on the dev team? Were you there when they were designed?”
Pokémon games have always been easy and always will be.
EXP share hasn’t made them easier, just quicker.
Needing hours of simple grinding =/= difficulty.
And having one hard battle like BDSP Cynthia or Ultra Necrozma doesn’t make a game hard - it just has one hard battle.
I’ll say it again for the dumbdumbs who don’t listen:
IT IS OK TO NOT LIKE POKÉMON.
IT IS OK TO NOT BE EXCITED FOR HOME.
What’s not ok is trying to convince people who DO like Pokémon that they shouldn’t, simply because you don’t, based on things they don’t care about.
You kids need to learn the Fairy type is less about the mons with pretty colours and more about lore.
Galarian Weezing consumes polluted air and purifies it before releasing it from its chimneys.
Galarian Ponyta absorbs life energy and stores it in its mane.
“The BB Terarium is different - humans have built that to house different ecosystems that close! You wouldn’t get that in some random old city!”
Four of the routes directly outside Lumiose City:
🚨 PSA 🚨
If you insist on joining 5-Star Tera Raids online, please:
•Bring a Pokémon that is strong against the Tera type, but also NOT weak to the Pokémon’s original move types
•Bring a Pokémon at least over level 70
•USE THE CHEER COMMANDS
Thanks.
Pokémon games have never been hard.
In the older games you just had to grind more, and because that’s time-consuming, kid-you felt like that = difficulty.
“These new Pokémon games are too easy!” - they’ve always been easy it’s just that EXP share means grinding is quicker now.
Number of times someone being trans has affected my life in a negative way, or at all: 0.
Transphobia is a choice, and if you choose to be transphobic, please unfollow me.
On the one hand:
lol Pokémon fucking up the HOME update date announcement and having to backtrack is funny
On the other hand:
If you’re sending death threats because your pretend animal collecting game isn’t to your liking, you’re among the dumbest pieces of shit on earth
Those looking for a different-language Ditto for Masuda shiny hunting should Link Trade using code 4448 4448.
Took me four attempts before I connectd to a German player and traded my ENG Ditto for their GER Ditto.
#PokemonScarletViolet
#NintendoSwitch
Scarlet and Violet are just the best Pokémon games we’ve ever had. Hands down, and DLC2 further cemented that!
After 1500+ hours of pure joy, nobody will ever convince me otherwise!
Give us DLC3 and 4!!!
Friendly reminder:
When you see someone excited for an upcoming video game, one that perhaps doesn’t interest you so much, you don’t need to waste your and their time by aggressively trying to convince them NOT to be excited for the thing they’re excited for.
People hating on the Pokémon 24-hour stream went in with the absolute wrong expectations.
The whole point was to mimic the kind of setup actual researchers use to observe wildlife.
There’s a lot of waiting, a lot of nothing happening, but eventual discovery.
Game companies need to troll gamers more.
Pokémon should lead the charge by skipping Diamond & Pearl remakes and going straight to Black & White remakes.
And let’s talk about the “cause” since people are treating it like some noble crusade.
IT’S A FUCKING VIDEO GAME.
No video game is worth being this much of a cunt to someone who has done more to help this franchise than you care to understand.
If you’re mad about the National Dex thing, OR if you’re glad about the National Dex thing...
I just don’t care anymore. I’m too busy looking forward to some cool new Pokémon games in November.
I know it’s a lot to ask of Pokémon fans, to await more info before deciding they hate something, but seeing people whining about
#PokemonLegendsZA
only taking place in Lumiose City as if it’ll be the size of the 3DS version is pretty funny! 🤣
City =/= Small lol
Junichi Masuda, who isn’t even the Director of the games, and hasn’t been for a while, has been bombarded with hateful and threatening messages on his own twitter, and on almost all of Pokémon’s social channels.
That won’t help your “cause”.
Game Freak: *breathes*
Pokémon Community: OMG THEY’RE DEFINITELY GONNA ANNOUNCE A GAME COMPLETELY BASED ON MY PERSONAL GARBAGE UNREALISTIC EXPECTIONS AND IF THEY DON’T DELIVER ON THIS PROMISE THEY HAVEN’T MADE I’M GONNA BE SO HECKING FURIOUS AND BITCH ON TWITTER FOR MONTHS! REE!
Do me a favour. Spread some positivity today:
Take a moment to thank
@SerebiiNet
for not only working tirelessly to cover this game release, but also for doing so whilst suffering this barrage of misplaced hate towards him - I know I couldn’t have done it!
#IStandWithSerebii
“Don’t use Quick Balls to catch shiny Pokémon!”
and
“Don’t import Rare Candy to make grinding faster in a Nuzlocke!”
are topics that prove the Pokémon Community has basically run out of things to complain about.
I know it’s a kids game but grow tf up 😂
OK this is weird.
When I bred my Quagsire with Ditto, the babies were Johto Wooper.
When I bred the Johto babies with Ditto, the new babies were Paldean Wooper.
Um...
Remember:
-It’s OK to be disappointed.
-It’s OK to expect better.
-It’s OK to want more.
HOWEVER, if a new video game has made you angry enough to threaten physical harm on someone who doesn’t agree with you, or who’s working on the game, it’s time to close your Twitter app.
I know it’s not all of the “Dexers”, but a large portion of bad apples has tarnished the image of the entire movement.
Voice your concerns, but do so with dignity and respect if you want them to be heard.
Pokémon fans: “I hate SwSh because it doesn’t have all the Pokémon - how can you Catch ‘em all if they’re not all there?”
Also Pokémon fans: “I can’t stand Goh! He doesn’t care about Pokémon - he just wants to catch them all!”
Stop calling Pokémon Emerald and Platinum “a completely different game” in your arguments.
Emerald = R/S with a bit extra for full game price.
Platinum = D/P with a bit extra for full game price.
IoA and CT = Two bits extra for half the price of one full game.
🤷🏻♂️
Pokémon: There’s a free version of HOME, but if you want extra features you’ll need a premium pass.
Fans: How much will that cost?
Pokémon: About $1 a month, so one less bag of Doritos a month.
Fans:
Imagine if Pokémon Red and Green were released for the first time in 2022.
Twitter would be awash with "The sprites are so UGLY! And Missingno is a massive programming error! How did Game Freak think it was OK to release this broken mess!?"
⏰ The time: 5 years since to the day we met.
🌍 The place: The restaurant where we had our first date.
💍 Her answer: YES!
I love you so much,
@Tearastar
! 💕
It’s said that Hisuian Voltorb has a friendly personality...but it frequently shocks nearby Pokémon when it gets excited. 😅
See what happens when Hisuian Voltorb gets carried away in this original stop-motion animation!
📺
The amount of “OMG they made a staple-remover Pokémon” comments on ANY post with Archaludon made me realise:
They made it look like that on purpose , because it gets people talking about it and opens up the “Gen 1 had a literal ball” conversation every time!
The Pokémon Community once again showing they know nothing about game development.
Y’all really think the models are made BEFORE the official design is finalised?
This whole notion that has been going around of official artwork just "tracing" models and/or sprites is some of the most absurd ragebaiting I've seen in quite a while in the Pokémon community.
We're better than this.
Stop listening to people who just want social clout.
If there’s anything I’ve learned in 2019-2020, it’s that people take Pokémon way more seriously than I do lol.
I always saw it as a fun game full of cool monsters to battle with.
To some people it’s a religion, and any change in it is world-breaking and life-shattering.
Number of times someone being trans has affected my life in a negative way, or at all: 0.
Transphobia is a choice, and if you choose to be transphobic, please unfollow me.
Enjoy “leaks” if you want, but Pokémon games are already pretty cut-and-paste as it is, and you wanna go into it with NO surprises?
No wonder y’all hate every new game for the first 6 years from release.
@MKUltraMoney
I mean we don’t know at what time the game is set.
Could be before the city was built, and it’s a wasteland with different areas in it.
Could be after the Pokémon war, and areas are abandoned/destroyed.
Could be the distant future, and man-made biomes could be in each sector.
Reminder:
@JoeMerrick
@SerebiiNet
isn’t involved in the design or production of any Pokémon games. He literally just reports on all the information about them.
If you’re not happy with the outcome of today’s Pokémon Presents, it’s not Joe’s fault, so harrasing him is pointless.
Imagine being so engulfed by mob mentality over a fucking video game you lambast and harass someone who isn’t even involved in the game’s development, simply for reporting information about them as it’s released.
#IStandWithSerebii
Reminder: Harassing
@JoeMerrick
and barking him about the games won’t make the games better. He doesn’t make the games.
All it does is make you look like an asshole.
The majority of Pokémon Community’s Toxicity comes from people directing their frustration at the wrong people.
Do you catch a Shiny using Full-Odds
Valid.
Did you catch a Shiny in an Outbreak?
Valid.
Did you catch a Shiny in Pokemon Go?
Valid.
Did you catch a Shiny during an event? Valid.
Did finding a shiny and seeing the sparkles make you smile?
That’s all that matters!
Deleted those two tweets about Pokémon Home instantly because I’m sick of talking about things I’m excited about.
Whiners will just turn up and cry over a dollar a month and I cba.
Let me be excited. If you’re not, tell someone who cares.
I’m ashamed of those of you in our community who’ve been so petty and infantile is to throw insults and aggression towards Joe, with no reason or justification for doing so, and sending death threats is incredible fucking stupid.
#IStandWithSerebii
#ThankYouGameFreak
for so many wonderful games over the last (almost) 24 years. The Pokémon franchise absolutely changed my life and has given me so many fantastic memories, and I can’t wait for even more next week with Sword & Shield!
