    ...why? How does that make or break the game haha. 1/5th of the roster is legendaries anyways.

    Plus hey, we're probably gonna get DLC too, there's hope.

    my biggest complaint with pokkens roster is the fox mid-stage mon, croagunk instead of toxicroak and there being two pikachus. should've stuck with libre. but they gave my gengar, chandelure and dartrix some love so i can't complain too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    so i started playing go again since i moved to college. holy shit, a year later and this game is still fucking awful. can't take down gyms because everytime i ko something i get a network error or some other glitch happens, the game crashes constantly and it's a crapshoot if the map loads any pokestops/gyms/landmarks. half the time if i change my team for a gym it'll glitch out and the pokemon i chose will die immediately only for the one that i replaced with it to show up out of nowhere.

    Good to see the anime hasn't forgotten about them. Although, seems strange seeing them in their season 1 clothes again.

    Marshadow event news... From Serebii: "Marshadow will be distributed in the US through Gamestop on October 9th through October 23rd".

    The short time frame isn't great either. If they do a second change wifi code like the 20th anniversary distribution it shouldn't be too bad. Still wish they gave use another chance at Diance then as well since they distributed all the others.

    I always feel dumb asking if they have any pokemon event cards, dunno why, feel like its a judging scenario.

    Yeah, I have to say I preferred when their events were given out through local Wi-Fi. Didn't even have to get out of the car if I could get a close enough parking spot. And they couldn't run out of them, unlike with the code cards.

    I started White with a (likely) 15/15/18/26/29/28 Modest Oshawott. I know I ought to invest more into physical, but should I keep this one?

    Edit: now it's more like 8/7/16 than 15/15/18... I think I may start over...

    so two things.

    1. according to serebii, that odd salazzle event at gamestop was a wifi event, so hopefully marshadow will be, too.

    2. how would you guys feel about an alolan porygon-Z with normal/ghost typing?

    "Thanks to the Aether foundation's research, the errors in Porygon-Z's programming were fixed, and no longer acts strange." (ability: color change)

    or

    "an attempt by the aether foundation to access Ultra Space. Porygon-Z lost it's physicality, and constantly spasms in errors" (ability similar to color change, but the typing is randomized)

    I just want them to go somewhere with it!!!! agh!

    Unfortunately that's not the case. Salazzle was a serial code event, and Marshadow will be as well. Serebii's event page isn't all that clear about what is a serial code event I think possibly because it also requires Wi-Fi access, but they have a separate Serial Code page that lists both of them.

    I really like that idea of Aether fixing its programming and thus giving it an Alolan form, although I think Normal/Ghost would make it a little broken.
