Hey, Kalos representation! (Not the same anon who asked about what drew you to Falkner, btw.) Speaking of, what did you like/dislike about Pokemon X/Y?

Hey, you. Yes, you. Send me anons. Make it about whatever you want. Just send one.

((Yay Kalos! By the time X and Y were announced, I had actually switched majors from organismal biology to French, because I learned the hard way that taking all science and math was detrimental to my emotional and mental health. So as you can imagine, I was very excited for Gen 6.

I feel like my thoughts on Kalos are similar to most people’s thoughts, but let me highlight a few points. First, for pros:

The region was just stunning. It was almost perfect for the transition from sprites to CGI for the main series games.

I loved a lot of the new mechanics. Horde battles, a brand new type (that admittedly ended up a bit OP), Mega Evolution, the beginnings of ride-able Pokémon, trainer customization, Pokémon Amie...I had fun with all of that, okay?

Just...I love most of the Pokémon introduced in Kalos. Plus I mean...this is the gen they really started to put more consideration into shiny Pokémon palettes (rather than mostly using the next palette in the code) and it really shows.

I just really love Kalos okay?

For cons:

Plot-wise, there was a lot left to be desired. I talk about this in depth both on Jules’ and Pascale’s blogs, but it seems to me like GF was really hoping we would all be too awed by the physical beauty of the games to notice not-so-well-paced story progression (seriously, that gap between the first and second Gyms, for example). some seriously under-developed/superficial NPCs, and just...there are points were the timeline seems to contradict itself. And that’s to say nothing about areas of the game that just feel wasted and empty, like the Sea Spirit’s Den/the entirety of Azure Bay and the Chamber of Emptiness.

I feel like Sky Battles had a lot of potential, but they were just sort of...there. Honestly after that Emogla battle so early on I lost any desire to seek out Sky Trainers, and we weren’t really given any incentive to go looking.

We really did lose a lot by not getting a follow-up game. I am permanently bitter about Eternal Flower Floette, for one thing, but there are so many unanswered questions about Zygarde and it kills me. How is it that the two legendaries that Zygarde is supposed to balance are each completely immune to one of its STAB types (I know Thousand Arrows technically works on Yveltal, but still)?

Kalos was good but it could have been so much more.))

Nightmare Fuel/Upsetting Dex entries, Round 2!:

UltraSun edition!

Under the cut since may include spoilers!

Graveler: It travels by rolling down cliffs. If it falls into a river, it will explode with its last gasp.

Grimer: The wastewater coming from factories is clean these days, so Grimer have nothing to eat. They're said to be on the verge of extinction. (So Lapras has been saved, only for Grimer to start dying.)

Muk: Because they scatter germs everywhere, they've long been targeted for extermination, leading to a steep decline in their population.

Gastly: Poisonous gas comprises 95% of its body. It's said that the remaining 5% is made up of the souls of those who died from the gas.

Haunter: It's dangerous to go outside alone on nights when you're feeling sad. Haunter will catch you, and you won't be able to go back home.

Gengar: Even your home isn't safe. Gengar will lurk in whatever dark corner of a room it can find and wait for its chance to catch its prey.

Marowak(Alola): When it beats opponents with its bone, the cursed flames spread to them. No amount of water will stop those flames from burning.

Chansey: Because the eggs on their bellies have been overharvested by people in the past, the Chansey population remains very small.

Kangaskhan(Mega): When the mother sees the back of her Mega- Evolved child, it makes her think of the day when her child will inevitably leave her.

Gyarados(Mega): It zooms out of the water at Mach speeds. Even large ships caught in its path are split cleanly in two!

Lapras: They've been so cherished that there's now an overabundance. The fish Pokémon population has declined in waters with too many Lapras.

Eevee: Its genes are easily influenced by its surroundings. Even its face starts to look like that of its Trainer. (Well that’s an...unsettling visual.

Lanturn: It lives far down in the depths of the ocean. It blinds its prey with light, using the moment they're dazzled to swallow them whole.

Aipom: It searches for prey from the tops of trees. When it spots its favorite food, Bounsweet, Aipom gets excited and pounces.

Scizor: Once it has identified something as an enemy, it will continue beating them with its steel-hard pincers until there's nothing left but scraps.

Scozor(Mega): It's better at beating things than grasping them. When it battles for a long time, the weight of its pincers becomes too much to bear.

Houdoom(Mega): Houndoom's entire body generates heat when it Mega Evolves. Its fearsome fiery breath turns its opponents to ash.

Tyranitar: This Pokémon is a mobile disaster, leaving mountains crumbled and houses destroyed in its wake.

Tyranitar(Mega): The effects of Mega Evolution make it more ferocious than ever. It's unclear whether it can even hear its Trainer's orders. (We find out in the other Dex entry this is because its back splits open.)

Carvanha: With its sturdy jaws and fangs, it can easily chomp wooden boats to splinters. It fights with Basculin over food.

Sharpedo(Mega): The moment it charges into its opponent, sharp spikes pop out of Sharpedo's head, leaving its opponent with deep wounds.

Flygon: People continue to have their hearts stolen by its enchanting songs and find themselves stranded in the desert.

Cradily: This carnivorous Pokémon lived in primordial seas. It catches prey in its eight tentacles and dissolves them with digestive fluid as it eats.

Banette: Resentment at being cast off made it spring into being. Some say that treating it well will satisfy it, and it will once more become a stuffed toy. (I mean, I never let them faint and always have max affection in Amie/Refresh, but I’d rather a happy Banette than it being a lifeless doll....)

Banette(Mega): Mega Evolution increases its vindictiveness, and the cursing power that was held back by its zipper comes spilling out.

Absol(Mega): It converts the energy from Mega Evolution into an intimidating aura. Fainthearted people expire from shock at the sight of it.

Huntail: Deep seas are their habitat. According to tradition, when Huntail wash up onshore, something unfortunate will happen.

Metagross(Mega): When it knows it can't win, it digs the claws on its legs into its opponent and starts the countdown to a big explosion.

Bonsly: If its body gets too damp, it will die. So, in a process reminiscent of sweating, its eyes expel moisture.

Garchomp(Mega): Its disposition is more vicious than before its Mega Evolution. Garchomp carves its opponents up with the scythes on both arms.

Weavile: Thanks to its increased intelligence, scrapping over food is a thing of the past. A scratch from its claws will give you a case of frostbite!

Froslass: It's said that on nights of terrible blizzards, it comes down to human settlements. If you hear it knocking at your door, do not open it!

Trubbish: If a young Pokémon or child breathes in the toxic gas that Trubbish belches out, it could be a life-threatening situation.

Frillish: Using the invisible poison spikes on its veillike arms and legs, it paralyzes its enemies and causes them to drown.

Jellicent: Fishermen are terrified of Jellicent. It's rumored to drag them into the sea and steal their lives away.

Golurk: When the seal on its chest is removed, it rages indiscriminately, turning the whole town around it into a mountain of rubble.

Floette(Eternal Flower): Terrifying energy is concealed within its ominous flower, but Floette still swings it about innocently.(Are we ever going to get this event or will we have to wait for the Kalos remake?)

Dragalge: It blends in with seaweed to ambush its prey and then takes them down with a poisonous liquid strong enough to melt metal.

Mimikyu: A gust of wind revealed what hides under this Pokémon's rag to a passing Trainer, who went home and died painfully that very night.

Mimikyu(Busted): Sad that its true identity may be exposed, Mimikyu will mercilessly seek revenge on any opponent that breaks its neck.

Tapu Lele: Although called a guardian deity, Tapu Lele is devoid of guilt about its cruel disposition and can be described as nature incarnate.

Necrozma(Dusk Mane): This is Necrozma's form while it's absorbing the power of Solgaleo, making it extremely ferocious and impossible to control.

Necrozma(Dawn Wings): This is its form while it's devouring the light of Lunala. It grasps foes in its giant claws and rips them apart with brute force.

Zeraora: It approaches its enemies at the speed of lightning, then tears them limb from limb with its sharp claws.
