[OLD] The Pokémon Topic
And there’s also deus ex machina.(It's called Plot Armor. It's also used in SSBU's WOL, with kirbo only living.)Ash should have died so many times he goes from getting zapped by Pikachu many times to jumping off cliffs and buildings to save his pokemonAsh is actually a very fit dude and its called anime logic
A character is in a situation where it seems like they’re gonna die, and then someone appears out of nowhere and saves them. Usually the ex machina moment doesn’t make sense at all and feels forced out of nowhere.
This has happened a few times throughout the series. I haven’t seen enough of the anime to know a moment in the anime where that happens (though there certainly were times that legendary Pokémon helped the characters get out of a bad situation). However I know it’s happened in the games, and when it happens in the games it usually makes sense.
I haven’t reached that part yet, but when N comes in to yeet Ghetsis that could count as an ex machina moment, but then it became a bad thing because Ghetsis was like “ok I steal ur dragon now lol”
“ok I steal ur dragon now lol” is the best sentence in that paragraph

i would be fairy/psychic because i act all sweet and happy but there's a lot more going on inside my headsky(my team plasma rp character) would be either flying/fairy, flying/dark, or flying/electricTrueAsh is fighting-flying for sure with how many of those he hasYeah N ain’t a ZoroarkYeah, N isn't a ZoroarkIf N is also a Zoroark that’s literal slaveryN has a Zoroark thoY’know how people theorize N is a Zoroark?All I'm going to say about that is you follow a zoroark to N's castle in white 2, and then you find N and the zoroark d i s s a p e a r s
I finally found out how to determine if that’s true or not.
Go up to N and start throwing a bunch of Pokeballs at him and see if one catches N.
Though there was a scene in the anime where it caught an onigiri/rice ball/“donut”, so maybe it is possible to catch a human in a pokeball, so this might not be entirely foolproof
It could be his
And thanks for the reminder, I’ll remove the number now. I added that temporarily so I could keep track over which was the old one and which was the new one
N is clearly a Ditto
This is a joke please don’t kill me.
On that topic, I’d PokémoN characters were to have Pokémon types, what would they be? (Trainers who specialize in a specific type don’t count. Their typing is obvious, but you could suggest a secondary typing for them) (OH MY GOD AUTOCORRECT DID YOU SERIOUSLY CHANGE Pokémon to pokemoN??? I DIDN’T NOTICE THAT UNTIL I FINISHED THE SENTENCE. PLEASE STOP THIS!!! uNova WAS BAD ENOUGH.)
Ghetsis would 100% be a dark type. Secondary typing might be fighting, as it’s clear that he would be violent without remorse (such as HITTING LILLIE). Maybe fire, because he’s angry.
Colress would be steel/electric. Maybe psychic because he’s a scientist and scientists are smart.
I’d say N would be a grass type but that’s mostly because of N’s hair. I dunno why but I sorta see N as a fairy type? His sisters described him as having a pure heart and fairy types are very pure.
Also, N probably likes “girly” stuff. Idk why I just think he does. (Autocorrect changed it to doesn’t…)
And he can jump pretty far
Melanie (my OC) would be fairy type, even though she uses ghost types I think she’d be a psychic type since she can understand Pokémon.
Oh yeah, N might be a psychic type. That’d work.
flying because of the name and hair, fairy because she is kind yet is a prankster
dark because she is a prankster and can be cunning at times
electric because she is very energetic
ellie would be fire/fairy because she has a short temper but means no harm and still cares about her friends
carrie would be poison/fighting because she's a little rude at times, but she's tough and can stand up for herself
hop would be fighting/electric because he's energetic and he's determined

I think this is the third time in a row I wasn't there for the end of a topic. It's fine, though.
It's time to say, “Alola!” to the seventh Pokémon topic! I'll start by replying to all of the posts I missed. And I missed a lot, so expect this post to be a long one. Just one question: Did nobody else have school? The last few pages were filled at around 12:00 p.m. EST which is 9:00 a.m. PST.
Posts from the previous topic: (I couldn't quote these anymore since the topic is closed so I recreated all of these posts mostly by hand.)
I don't even know what Danganronpa is, so I guess I'm not the average user.
And yes, this topic has been very spammy, and the Jojo and Pokémon noises are some notable examples of that. Another one that I can think of off the top of my head is the Pokémon Hunger Games Simulator. Before you bring that back, just know there's a dedicated topic for it.
I turn 15 next month though I probably won't do anything really special. Netflix has a short show where Ash and Pikachu say happy birthday to you, in case that's something you want to see.
I think we're doing this again.
Posts from this topic: (It's only been a few hours and there are already over 100 pages; I think I'm in for a treat.)
First impressions: The new banner looks nice! It's very professional. The other image is also something.
This was a joke. Mostly.
At first I decided not to split up this post into two smaller posts, then I decided to do it, then while I was making it I decided against keeping them split up. So now you just have this one massive post.

I can't decide on my favorite Mega Evolution but several years ago I was playing ΩR with a friend and we made the joke that Mega Swampert was taking steroids.Hi, what is y'alls fave gen 3 'mon? Mine is Sharpedo. It has a cool mega.mudkip
I would third this had the new topic not already started.How about that one burning flames made with N holding a not gun?I second that
Have you ever felt outraged at the ways humans treat their pokemon? like tiny slaves cursed to either fight or sit in a box for all eternity?I thought this was an advertisement by PETA at first. I guess I wasn't too far off.

Since I don't trust this topic to not finish while I'm asleep, this was my experience of Pokemon Topic 6:Finishing a topic in under 100 days is the ultimate gold split.
- We've got the Pokemon Topic any% speedrun down to sub-100 days let's go everyone
- This topic's average user is a 10 year old who is a fan of Danganronpa
- I see people making jojo or pokemon noises half the time I check the topic
- Occasionally I'll hear that a new user is being weird around the active members on the topic. Whenever I check on everyone after such a situation, the new user is chill with me because “hey you like persona. cultured, we chill now”
I don't even know what Danganronpa is, so I guess I'm not the average user.

My friend has a Level 100 InteleonPlot twist: The Inteleon only had moves with 5 PP and won after using Struggle.
with only water-type moves
i challenged her to battle my level 10 maractus
she accepted
but she didn't know my maractus had water absorb
guess who won
I fixed Kitt-Draw's post.Yes I agreealso im turning 13 in 2 daysHappy Early Womb Eviction (Anniversary)
I turn 16 next month and I’m afraid I’m going to break my foot again like I did last February. I had to get surgery the day before my birthday.
I turn 15 next month though I probably won't do anything really special. Netflix has a short show where Ash and Pikachu say happy birthday to you, in case that's something you want to see.
Oh this isn't the 10000th post. Oh well.There was a lot of talking in that topic, mainly because of how many new people joined. While there was some spam, a lot of it was just pure conversation, and I think it's fine that that topic only lasted 3 months because what really matters is what we said inside of it.
While this topic has only lasted a couple of months, so much has happened since then. More and more people discovered the forums, and the Pokémon Topic community has grown. There's more bustle, more chatter, more discussion. It's fun to watch how the community has changed from this topic and topics past. I don't even know if this is the “official” farewell post.
I think I speak on behalf of M1mikyu when I say that I'm proud of our lettuce-loving community, and am excited to see how it changes in the coming months.
So long, everyone. On to topic 7!
END OF TOPIC VI*sees over 100 posts already in the new topic*
We decided to commit Any% for this topic
We struggled with route 110 may
Yeah, let's not do this again

TIME FOR THE QUESTION WE ALWAYS ASK
FAVORITE POKÉMON?
Me? Look at my username. There’s your answer.
I like Zorua too.this oneOkay guys can I start like a conversation or somethingriolu
What is your favorite baby Pokémon
Jezz #6 went by so hecking fastJust you wait. I predict this topic will last longer than the last one (3 months) but less than 6 months. Who else wants to make a prediction?
Then how come I see so many people posting when I'm in school?school + sleep = time in not on pokemon topicI mean, you probably shouldn't be on here 24 hours a day even if you could. Too much of a good thing then becomes boring over time, so you need other stuff to balance it out.
time in not on pokemon topic= sadness
It's like food- you can have a favourite food, but if that's the only thing you ate you'd get bored of it. You need to eat other stuff in order to make the favourite food special.
This was a joke. Mostly.
Martinat388 is easily Water-iceI've thought about this question before, and I would be Psychic-type. (big brain time) I would be weak to Electric-type (static electricity) and resistant to Fighting-type. (my younger brother)
Serena is 100% a fairy type, her personallity screams “fairy”
At first I decided not to split up this post into two smaller posts, then I decided to do it, then while I was making it I decided against keeping them split up. So now you just have this one massive post.

I’ve been very sarcastic lately for some reason.

So this is kinda funny.
I was looking up on Bulbapedia about the Seven Sages. There’s one named Ryoku, which is kinda similar to Roku, like Avatar Roku from… well, Avatar.
Then I found out that one of the members, Gorm’s, Japanese name is Azula.
Azula is a character from Avatar who is Zuko’s sister.
I found this kind of funny because I say that N is like Zuko and Ghetsis is like Fire Lord Ozai.
I think about ATLA way too much, don’t I.
That’s because it’s clearly one of the best cartoons in animation history!
When rewatching ATLA after it was brought back to Netflix I noticed a surprising amount of similarities between it and BW. Maybe it’s because I was playing the game at the same time as I was rewatching the show, and that made me think about BW more frequently. There really is a lot of similarities between BW and Avatar, which might be a reason why I like it so much.
I can create a post listing all the similarities between gen 5 and avatar if ya like.

I've heard people talk about what type they'd be, but for me I genuinely don't know.
I almost feel like Rock would fit me, due to hard hard it is for somebody to change my mind on something when I have an opinion in-place. Steel wouldn't because I have a pretty low pain threshhold, both physicaly and emotionally, and I feel like somebody who would be like a steel type wouldn't have that, while Rocks are more brittle.
(I don't even have too many rock types in my all-time favourites)
I suppose Grass, Water, or Bug would fit as well because I like going out walking a lot.

For my type, I'd probably be Fire-Psychic. Fire because I have quite a short temper (and also because I love sitting indoors by the fire on a cold day lol), and Psychic because I'm logical and quite good at puzzle-solving.
I'd be weak against Water (I'm possibly the worst swimmer you'll ever meet) and Dark (I have a terrible fear of the dark for some reason-) and would resist Ice (I actually quite like the cold, but not enough to be an Ice-Type) and Fighting (Brains over brawn, I don't know xD)

I would be Ice or Dark. Dark because people think I'm weird and mysterious and I often tend to lash out. Ice because of my past. I would be weak to flying (hate heights) and resist fighting (because i can fight well tbh). I would be strong against fire (I like heat and will often weaken it too) and psychic (i can think mega fast and *snap*)

I find that pretty ironic.
