The ILG Pokemon Thread

my girlfriend got me pokemon pearl and a DS for our anniversary, after hearing me complain about how much i missed playing pokemon. as someone who last played silver something like 10 years ago, i was happy with how similar the gameplay is relative to the old ones (though i guess pearl is pretty old at this point). not really a huge fan of the double battles, and i'm uninterested in all the berries/pokemon contests and stuff, but the plot is still pretty good. my only real complaint would be the lack of cool pokemon to raise, though i guess i just made some bad choices. i had always gone with the water starters, so i chose piplup, but he doesn't really learn any cool moves. the other 2 i've had for a while are machop and luxio.

finally playing pokemon x!!
why won't it let me name my pidgey 'burrows'?? what am I missing here?

Moon and Sun! Moon and Sun! Moon and Sun!

this thread missed like 3 games but scarlet and violet! scarlet and violet!

Sword Shield was underwhelming in a lot of ways but its new pokemon and region specific types were great. I'm not far enough into Scarlet Violet to judge it yet but the changes/updates so far are promising.
