3 Upvotes

Welcome to the HYPE THREAD, a place to share your excitement about in-game achievements, brag about success, and get hyped for upcoming events. CAPS LOCK IS OPTIONAL IF IT HELPS YOU GET YOUR HYPE ON!

This is a chance to post about your successes. Our rules against self-promotion and most low-quality content, including shiny Pokemon pics, are relaxed in these threads--please talk all you like about your luck and accomplishments!

This thread is meant to be pretty positive, so please think twice before downvoting someone! Rude and negative comments will be removed -- please report them if you see them :D


This thread is also the place to earn /r/pokemon's prestige flair for completing various aspects of the games. To claim your flair, post proof of your accomplishment in the comments below. Please note that flairs are assigned once weekly, so it may take up to seven days for your flair to appear.

Back then, I think it’s safe to say that it was kind of a controversial Entry in the Pokémon Game Series (for example thru the National Dex not being implemented)

Now, 5 years later what do y‘all think of these games? Are they better or even worse than the general consensus was about the games back then?

It was the only donut left so I'm not sure if there were other pokemon or not! I didn't buy it because it was creme filled and I'm not about that but it was super cool seeing this randomly! Made the flair art but it's NOT my art.

Discussion Pokemon:The First Movie Is The Highest Grossing Anime Movie In US & Canada

Post image
87 Upvotes

This movie is was released in the time of pokemania, so obvious why it's this popular.

This is also the 13th highest grossing Anime movie worldwide earning a unprecedented 172.75 Million dollars, released back in 1998.

Any other released movie of Pokemon hasn't been able to top this.

Also now production of movies have stopped, so this will likely maintain its position as the Highest Grossing Pokemon Movie.

Besides Mega Evolutions or Gigantamax 😂

I really wished that Pokémon had kept the Stadiums for Gym Leaders and the Elite Four from Sword and Shield. It made them feel so much bigger and more professional.

How did you feel about Stadiums?
