Wait guys, wait! Don’t worry, I promise that I won’t be flooding Lazygamer with Pokémon news over the next couple of months. Put the gun down, and chill.
While it looks like we won’t see any Pokémon action in 2015, that doesn’t mean that there still isn’t plenty to do in either version of the 2014 remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Pokémon is all about collecting, and with hundreds of the beasts available to grab, it can take a damn long time to catch ‘em all. And it’s even more difficult when you need certain legendary Pokémon to help fill that Pokedex up.
It’s been a good while since Nintendo held a distribution event, but the good Ninty giveth as ultra-rare legendary Pokémon Diancie will soon be made available across the game if you have online functionality.
The rub being, that you only have from July 24 to July 27 to snag the rare Fairy-type. Diancie has usually been given away at US exclusive promotions, so finding one has been especially difficult. A problem made apparent when the Global Trading System has resulted in people thinking that they’ll get Darkrai and Arceus trades in return.
Ha, dream on you stingy bastards. Diancie will also come with Diancite mega-stone, so that you can see it’s final form. HWOOAAAAAAARRRGHHHHHHH! Outside of the collecting angle, Diancite is also a beast in combat, with high stats all around. Especially useful against anyone who fields a team of Dragon-type Pokémon.
And all this talk of my favourite franchise is just making me lust even more than usual for a new Pokémon game, dammit.

That is my normal reaction when I eat Pronutro. PLease tell me you are at least having the chocolate pronutro?

Half a bowl of all bran flakes, half banana pronotro.
I added some sugar but it’s overly sweet in some areas and just terrible in the rest.
I will be more careful with my alarm so that I don’t oversleep in the future so that I can avoid this form of self punishment.

I love All Bran Flakes. Microwave them with milk for about 45 seconds. Warm and soggy! Yum-Yum!

Who here plays Pokémon, other than Darryn? Seriously not being nasty to the D. But a serious question…

*puts hand up*
Yep, currently busy with a playthrough of Black 2 again to be honest. I even still watch the series.

LoL. You mentioning the show… That reminds me of this one time a bunch of kids had this huge argument with the youth pastor outside the church: Is Pokémon satanic?
Ranting Raptor
July 21, 2015 at 08:29
Nope. Not at all. Imagination is important. There’s no witchraft, rituals etc involved. It’s a story. A make believe one at that.
There are TV series that adults watch that are far worse than an animated cartoon that contains no blood and actually teaches good values like “Bad guys lose” and “Being nice is the right thing to do”

Oh I know that. Even the youth pastor knew that. but you know the type. People that always know better than the Pastor/Doctor/Your Mom…

It’s about a 10 y/o kid who imprisons an animal in a small ball (the animal appears to be converted into an energy state) and uses that animal to beat up other animals and the animals imprisoned by other people all in the hope of imprisoning one of each type of animal (sorta like a gender ignoring version of Noah’s ark) and of possessing the strongest animal.
Nothing really satanic there.
The Bible has plenty on how man is superior to animals and there’s no death in Pokemon so I guess it’s all good?

I do, been buying every gen and Gameboy to date. I do not see why people have to hide the fact that they play Pokemon.

I think Pokémon has the same social standing as the Sims my friend. And I LOVE the Sims!

No, you’re thinking of fish.
Or maybe the Taiwanese/Chinese(??) and dogs.
