Sometimes I get surprised when people hate on SWSH. Then I remember. Not everyone had their brain chemistry permanently altered by that game. Very few people actually got very introspective about the Pokémon universe as a whole after playing that game. Most people DIDN'T LIKE HOP????!!....
Hi sorry I need to do some more Pokemon posting bc this is the funniest shit. the cute-looking Pokèmon TCG series is making "TM10" part of its branding. Like, TM10 from the games - its the TM for the move Hidden Power, thats cute! Its reflecting the main character discovering herself in the same way the move works in the game, what a cute little detail!
Except uh. Just one problem.
Game Freak in all their brilliance removed Hidden Power from the franchise four years ago in Generation 8* and its still not able to be used in Scarlet and Violet. Its not just that you cant teach it to Pokèmon anymore, you straight up cannot use the attack even if you trade in Pokèmon from older games who know it. Its like a banned technique.
So then that begs the question – if the TCG show is gonna be referencing TM10 this much, but TM10 *isn't* Hidden Power anymore, surely that means TM10 is another similarly inspiring attack - Stored Power, or Calm Mind, or Smart Strike?
Well, depending on if its Gen 8 or 9, I hope the kids will have fun Discovering Their Own Magical Leaf and/or Discovering Their Own Ice Fang. Truly inspiring words. love how well managed this franchise is
Keeping a cool head can be hard, especially when you're an Eiscue hot cocoa bomb 🧊🐧
You can probably see my moment of panic in the video when I thought he was drowning and I'd have to rescue him before he came up for air (so funny the way he just popped out 😂). Still the best take I got, so I think that's close enough for me to finally check this lil guy off my to-make list!
