oh no he devolved
Someone smashed B during the evolve window
Raichu > Pikachu, change my mind
But only after leveling your Pikachu to lvl 80 to learn volt tackle
In which gen does that happen? I only remember getting that move by breeding or a move vendor depending on the gen
Ngl haven't played Pokemon since like Crystal so I'm not up to date on all the changes. Last game I played was red/yellow
I think Gen 4?
I beat the entire elite 4 with basically just Raichu, what a badass.
So did I. The older brother of a friend gave me a lvl 100 raichu for this weird blue ponyta I had. How kind of him to make that trade with a clueless 10 year old
This hurt to read
I never really played pokemon, but I really like knowing stuff about it, this "weird blue ponyta" pokemon you traded sounds really rare by the way it sounds, what pokemon are you actually talking about?
Sounds like a Shiny Ponyta. In case you don't know, Shiny Pokemon are incredibly rare.
Oh, I do, but I thought shiny pokemon were y'know, golden shiny, not blue lol
Funnily enough, one is straight up golden shiny.
Each species has a different coloration for shinys, including different colors for Regional forms. Some are more impressive than others, but that can also come down to taste.
Someone out there has to like shiny Espeon, right? Right? ... Why's it fuckin' green? I have never understood that. Lavender to a bright green. What the hell, GameFreak?
It's because when Shiny Pokemon were first introduced the Shiny Marker on their profile just shifted their colors over to the next palette, only rarely do people actualyl sit down and say "Yes, I want this Pokemon to have a shiny that's THIS color!", some Pokemon have had their Shiny Colors updated over the yeras (the most famous example being Charizard going from Barney to Edgelord)
Most haven't sadly
For whatever reason when you move palettes around on the Game Boy Color they became Green.. For some, with the right shade the Green is fine because it's meant to mimic the colors of the original Game Boy.
The ones that I absolutely think need to be updated, like, it shouldn't even be a question... are the "Identicals" the ones like Garchomp and Gengar where if you squint and look at pictures side by side... You may be able to figure out which one's the Shiny and it may only take you the better part of an hour!
It would have been nice if they changed Gengar's Shiny Color to White to match the Mega's Shiny color
I mean if it's an engine thing, I'd like to introduce different shinies.. maybe a rare "Super Shiny" that's a better color than Puke Green?
Ah haha nope! Just weird color palette swaps! For an example, to look up Shiny Dragonair to Dragonite. It's uh... It's awful imo.
It was, indeed, a shiny ponyta
surprised Raichu face
At this point if Pokemon didn't have a policy against permanently discontinuing Pokemon, Raichu and Jynx would have been out the door ages ago.
Mr. Mime and Porygon wouldn't be safe either, and I say this as a fan of Raichu, Jynx, and Porygon (Sorry Mr. Mime... I love Mr. Rime though..)
hey it me :3
