As the generations go on, some older Pokemon get new toys to play with, such as new evolutions, pre-evolutions, regional variants, Mega evolution, and Dynamax forms to name some. While getting something is better than getting nothing, there are still some Pokemon who got less impactful or insignificant things. A few examples that I can think of:
Corsola: the Galarian form did get some usage with it being Eviolite eligible, and while I love the concept and design of Cursola, it has been irrelevant since the day it came out. I wish it were better or more unique. I think a Ghost/Water or Ghost/Rock would have helped.
Stantler: Wyrdeer is a cool design, but outside of you riding it in PLA, nobody thinks about it. I think a few more BTS would have helped it stand out, especially against Farigiraf who became out in a similar time with the same typing.
Victreebel: I looooove the Mega design, but nobody uses it since it’s not good at all. From its promo and Dex entries, I was really hoping for an ability or move that would allow Poison-type moves to hit Steel types.
Jynx: no explanation needed here, but if you’re out of the loop, it got left behind after Smoochum. Since it’s one of the most disliked Pokemon in the franchise, I doubt it’ll get anything again, which I think is a shame.
Any other Pokemon you would add to the list? I again want to say that at least these Pokemon got something, while there are many that don’t have anything since their debut. Still, I would argue that these Pokemon will be further ignored and not become relevant ever again. Not every Pokemon has to be a standout, but if they’re going to give something to one, they should try to make it stand out.

Look from the pokemon anime, some scenes depict animals as seen above. Emphasis on Animals, not pokémon - ANIMALS. Like real non-pokemon fish, a mongoose and a giraffe. No it doesn't look like a Girafarig, just a plain giraffe. Heck, you can see ash wore a cow costume. It wasn't a miltank, just a depiction of a classic black and white cow. Heck, in the older cards, they'd have normal animals in the background. In the form of birds, bugs or even a worm. So what gives, these can't be fake creatures since they look exactly like real life animals. Are they're actual normal animals-but they're extremely rare?

As part of a collaboration, I made three Mega Evolutions! And since it's Halloween season, I made after Ghost and Psychic types! Here are the miniatures, in both normal and shiny forms, next to a minifigure and using some attacks they know!
Mega Slowbro is using Slack Off!
Mega Chimecho is using Metal Sound!
Mega Chandelure is using Overheat!
As a bonus, I even made a larger Mega Chimecho moc!

I could go all day about how many of my favorite songs come from Pokemon. Just a few I can think of:
Games:
Pokemon Sword Shield
- Gym Leader theme. I think we can all agree this is one of, if not the best in the series
- Elite Four theme. Chants are so good in this game and the phases
Pokemon Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire
These games not only produce good songs on their own, they go back and remastered/remade so many songs from other games including legendary themes.
My favorites are:
- Deoxys
- Regi Theme
- Ho Oh theme
- Elite Four
- Maxie Archie
Pokemon Sun Moon
- Trailer/Intro theme
- Elite Four
- Totem
- Mother Beast Lusamine
Pokemon Black White
- Elite four. I think we all can say it’s best in the series
- N’s Farewell
- Emotion theme
Plus all the route/town themes. They need their own thread
Pokemon’s music quality and range is impressive, we don’t get to appreciate it enough. What are your favorites?

I was first introduced to Pokemon by my friends from school when I was a kid. They told me to make a Roblox account and play Pokemon Brick Bronze. That was my first experience with it, and I was hooked. I became a huge Pokemon nerd, and to this day I still am (though it's not as popular with my peers as it was back then).
Growing up, my family didn't really have videogames. We didn't own any Nintendo consoles, and therefore no Pokemon. Occasionally I would visit cousins and play games on their Switch for brief periods of time, but never long enough to make any real progress. I've played fanmade Pokemon games and that's it.
Suffice it to say the above run of Pokemon Emerald feels really, really good.

This was my first pokemon fanart when i played Pokemon X.
My Venipede eventually evolved into Scolipede, but other than that, everyone stayed in the current evolution till the end. I love them sm

Hello everybody, I have a weird request that I was hoping my fellow fans could assist me with.
My son just turned 3 and one of our favorite things to do is watch the various pokemon anime together.
Right now we're watching the diamond & pearl series on YouTube as it's uploaded. While talking with him the topic of favorite pokemon came up and he asked about mine. I showed him pictures of my team (Meganium,Magcargo, Quagsire,Wailord,Snubbull,Luxray) but I was wondering if I could get suggestions of episodes containing/centering around these mons to help show off their personalities/what their like to him.

I’ve been wanting to play Legends Arceus for a while and I’ve basically seen nothing about it, not really even reviews. Just the trailer and a few screenshots. I wanna ask from people who have played the game themselves if they had a good or bad experience either way if it’s a game worth buying or not. I wanna eventually buy it for myself when I’m not broke, but I wanna also hear others opinions first before I do so.
Edit: Wow, I went to the DMV to finally get my ID today so I wasn’t paying attention to my notifs. But thank you to everyone who answered. I got some really great answers from some people and I’ll certainly keep the points in mind when I eventually think about buying the game.

I have tickets to Pokemon Night Out at The O2 next month and I paid £185 per ticket and they’ve just emailed me to say they’ve reduced all tickets to only £30 and refunded me £155! Just thought I’d post this incase anyone’s thinking of going, it’s an insane price drop and they clearly want the people there so now’s the chance!

So i used to collect pokemon cards when i was a kid and i (now an adult) saw a booster pack recently and bought it on a whim. Nice cards but this one caught my attention. Im posting this late, because im actually noticing this fact only now, but 180 damage??? On a basic snorlax?? I dont even think i have a single pokemon card whose health is more than 180. (Arceus lvl. X added for reference) Tf is this lmao
Ps. I get the asleep thing is supposed to try and neutralise the insane attack stat but this is absurd

I have a memory as a child playing a pokemon game on a DS which I've always thought was Heartgold or Soulsilver, but can't find the cartridge.
I remember being stuck in the bottom of a cave that was a few parts of land separated by water and jump ramps that only had psyduck spawns. And today I thought, "I haven't looked up what cave I was stuck in. It wouldn't take that long..."
I was wrong.
From what I look up; Bike ramps weren't in HGSS, and I can't find any cabe that looks like my memory. But it couldn't be from Hoenn or Sinnoh because my starter was a cyndaquil.
Does anyone here know something that explains this?
