News – Pinkie's Paradise

Pinku Pinku Updato: A Blog Update

Konichiwa Mina, it is time for a little update concerning your favorite Pink Geek Blogger who resides on a virtual island that is not build on a Nintendo Switch. This specific descriptor would most likely also be true if I used least favorite Pink geek Blogger (and so on) but let’s focus on the positives here! Today I will tell you a bit about what is to come for Paradise and update you on all things me.

One Year Anniversary Overhaul

On the 16th of June this blog will celebrate it’s first birthday and it will lead into a bit of a visual overhaul for the website! We will start using our new custom-made avatar that has been made to order by the lovely Banabel Split. Also I will most likely go for a slightly overhauled colour scheme. Reason for this is that I am currently fighting a lot with the WordPress Editor. I currently use a sunset colour scheme, pink purples and warm yellows for my paragraph and subparagraph titles, but the current WordPress Editor make that difficult. I am not one to paste hex codes (mostly because I constantly forget where I save them or finding the file is such a hassle) so I slide this with feeling. However in the current block editor I can not slide.. Nani! Mendokusē!

The paragraph titles will continue to be a thing though. When I was a little Pinkie, my favorite game magazine used these and I fell in love with it as it’s charm. I would look at those titles first and wonder what the magic was to come. Their cheeky writing and those tongue in cheek references made with a good title inspired me and every form of “magazine” style writing I did kept this in as an homage in what got me interested to it in the first place. I might make picture asses for them next but I haven’t figured it out yet completely! Obviously the banner art will change as well as those feature the chibi and we are moving on to the new avatar.

The Content cocktails will most likely remain but undergo slight differences. I will most likely make them different colours and add some pink elements to it rather than different glass types. A few of them are a lot harder to edit than others and at times I find it hard to tell the differences. Pink however will keep a important role in the blog no matter what route we follow otherwise. Pinkie will stay pink!

Love to my Supporters

Now it’s been a while since I started adding in Ko-Fi support and I have received a fair number of donations to date, some rather sizeable even. In the nearby future I want to create a tribute to those who support me. Either by featuring them in some sort of post or making an image on the website dedicated to thanking them. For some reason I don’t always get to respond to a donation. Sometimes I am not able to post a reaction to it. This makes me feel bad for I am always grateful. So rather than writing a thank you note simply saying thank you every time.. I want to craft you something to show you my appreciation. A tribute image, your pick of a topic for a blog anything really.

My health is not always stable with a fair form of urgency at some time, which basically makes me forget everything else I was doing. So if I am doing my social duties and my heart skips a beat, literally I need to lie down and this can easily take away from my social requirements. Twitter, Ko-Fi and other places. My love for what you do for is worth more than just a thank , it’s something more eternal.. so I feel an empty reply of gratitude even when sincere.. even more so considering how easily my focus can be lost, is a much better way to show my gratitude. But I will come up with a few “bonuses” as well. This will probably also be implemented around the anniversary.

Content updates

For those who have been following me for a while know I have been trying out a few different types of content and this will remain. However I will bring changes to some of them.

-A BIT of History will be replaced with a BIT of Nostalgia, in which I discover a wider variety of games of my past. While I love doing the weird content hard locking myself into games set into a certain timepiece increasing in time feels arduous, like I have to play a game. In the end I need to blog for myself rather than for content sake, so I want to play what I want to play and the rebranded format will allow me to to this way better.

-Pinkie’s Who Would Win will continue however my next announced match Batman versus Kyouko Kirigiri in a game of clue will be postponed. I find myself in a narrative end with that one and rather then forcing it I decide to let the ideas come up more spontaneous.. or by readers and supports of course. So now the next post will be a surprise.

-Pinkie gets Anime Powers will also continue to go on. The next one is almost done cooking in my head and will discuss Soul Eater.

– Pinkie is looking for a Waifu will be dropped. For now I am not in the right mindset to find a Waifu nor for Yuri romance shows. The ones I do want to watch are fairly long and will most likely be included in my Saturday Morning Anime Adventure, or potentially in me duplicating that adventure on Sundays!

– Precure Pinkie will be cancelled for now as well. While I do like the show in essence it’s to generic for me to binge it. It will most likely be part of my Sunday Morning Lineup with one episode a week.

Other than that I will experiment with blog post I have fun writing with, I had a bit of blog depression recently and was measuring likes again. Each post that stuck below my normal average of likes must be bad…. so I should not do it?! People do not care.. stuff has been messing with my mind. I decided to let that go. I write when I want to write and what I want to write about, if such a post will get a lower like rating I am sure it will cry but I will talk to it and honestly say that I loved making it and that it’s about the love that got put into it is what matters, That will cheer up both the post and myself I would think!

Life Updates

As a NEET I am not particularly badly struck with the Corona outbreak but it has messed with my head a bit. In a way it hyper inflated the importance of like on this blog for me, after all this one of the few forms of social interaction available to me .. if people start liking it less that really hurt. This triggered a bit of an awkward spiral where visiting other people’s blog has become a bit harder as well, because my mind tricked me into feeling people hate me and just like to be polite but hope I would go away. To a point where I dreamed people booing me… some of you have WEIRD depictions in my dreams.

I am beginning to notice I am able to manage some more consistency on my blog. I am having the energy again to blog several days in a row, I have more fun in writing now that I just write for fun again instead of for stats. In a way I accepted I am not the greatest writer out there and that I most likely will never be. I am just a hobby writer who has fun in what she does, that became good enough for me. I got intimidated by the intellectual pieces by some of you out there. How Girl’s last Tour is like epic stage plays, how there are deep allegories of this and that in that show.

I am more like a “I got so excited i nearly peed myself’ kinda depth. That felt trivial.. like I paint by numbers but the others paint their own Da Vinci like masterpieces from their hand. Yet I realized, sometimes people prefer McDonalds over a Three Star Meal, so while I might be the less coveted blog I am still here. I might be junk food, but that can be good as well! I want some junkfood now! And it’s like 10 AM when I am writing this!

Healthwise I have been so and so, due to a damaged lung I have a lot of trouble when temperatures bounce up and down a lot between day and night and between days. If on Monday it’s ten degrees colder than it was the previous day at the same time, I am basically broken. My heart has been remarkable kind to me lately with only some very minor incidents.. so yay Ticker. In general my muscles have been a bit tenser laterly causing me some mild discomfort throughout the day but all in all I am doing rather soundly healthwise. Even though I am sick a lot!

Unfortunately the same can not be said about my grandpa, who has been diagnosed with Corona this past week. Due to his phase 4 dementia it oftenly is hard to gage how well he is actually doing. This is causing some family stress , so should I vanish for a couple of days on end, it’s most likely because something happened there and my headspace is not right.

Other Updates

My tabletops have been come to a bit of a halt during the crisis. Since I live in a tiny apartment, I can’t maintain distance from my party and I do want to keep the rules enforced. Since some of my friends dislike rp’ing online I was forced to put my main D&D campaign on hold but we continue with some filler content set in the same world with some of those who do not mind this so much, Side Stories of their guild as it were.

My Pokémon RP however is on a hiatus because their character sheets are custom made and are very tricky to host online due to how much tabs and stat pages I need to have opened.

My homebrew fully online campaign is still going strong. Currently the group found out that their Live Stream has been duplicated by some people posing to be them.. but offering more rewards for watching. To safe their income.. and a friend who got in trouble because of this the group now must learn each others fighting styles, and secrets about each other so that even if they know they get tricked they can tell each other apart. It will be a fun little series of event leading them through a hotel filled with tricks and hellish creatures not taking kindly to their new guests.

I’ve been picking up some retro games lately, while I still thoroughly enjoy my time with Animal Crossing, my island is almost “done” there isn’t a whole lot left to build and since I don’t like grinding I made my Island rather convenient for a quick pass by! I am currently playing Super Mario 2 for NES and will play Ducktales after that, after which I will probably either go for Mega Man 2 or Ninja Gaiden. It will not be easy but I am sure I can do it!

Meanwhile I am still playing Pokémon Reborn, currently making my way to the fourth gym with 23 level 45 shines to attempt the gym with. This still proves to be somewhat of a challenge to me mostly because I am too cheap to buy potions! My next shiny hunt will most likely be after my online tabletop tomorrow. That is if I can get the epic boss fight today!

My quest to find a new apartment has not been very fruitful.. it almost seems as if people are staying in these days not moving! Next week some enqueteer will come to my door to ask questions about what I think of this place. Not looking forward to that. Our walls are not very soundproof , so neither are my neighbors an my main gripes is with one of them. That shall not end well if I say it though.. so I am not sure on how to approach that situation yet. Perhaps I can convince them that I have to get better at Ninja Gaiden to make a fun blog about it and I will mail them my answers..like a ninja anonymously!

Update done,
Have a a good one!

Pink-Poké-News: Week 41

So last week, we lost all contact with reporter Pinkie Cherryblossom. Luckily earlier this morning we picked her up at Shalour City. Kalos’s most prominent costal city. She seemed confused and was not able to recollect what she exactly saw near the end of her log. She kept rambling about a wise man, stolen food and wings. So we slapped her in the face, told her she had a job to do and give her take on the latest pokémon news. So please welcome back reporter Pinkie for this week’s edition of the Pink-Poké-News.

Galarian Ponyta

Hello again little monsters, Pinkie Cherryblossom here reporting live for Pink-Poké-News. I am incredibly excited to announce the existence of the Pokémon Shield only Pokémon , Galarian Ponyta. Apparently it was announced in a 24 hour live stream we unfortunately seem to have missed completely. A rainbow unicorn pokémon is exactly what I wanted all my life. However the fans seem to be confused to why it is not a fairy type. Galrian Ponyta has been announced to be the psychic type, and to be honest when you think rainbow unicorn (I actually dance each time I say that word) sounds pretty much like a fairy to me to. So why is it a psychic type instead? Of course I asked the other Pinkies what they feel.

Professor Pinkie told it is a typing that goes a lot better alongside its ability Pastel Veil, an ability that prevents the poison status from occurring on your pokémon.. or even curing it of others when it is used next to a poisoned pokémon in double battles. Since fairy types have a weakness to poison this would already pose a conflict lorewise. Why would something weak to poison be able to heal poison. Secondly she says that it is most likely to add some speed to the rainbow unicorn. Psychic types are among the fastest pokémon in the game and given her theories about it’s evolution getting as much speed on it would seem like a great move. She was reluctant to say what she believes this evolution will be though.

Detective Pinkie however , whom is all about theories , did not share such sentiment. She agreed with the speed idea because she believes Galarian Rapidash will be a psychic flying type, apparently she has seen images of the live steam where the Ponyta’s look up so she believes it might reflect them looking up to their flying mother. Fairy types usually do have mediocre speed so for a speeding pegasus the psychic type makes most sense. Even more so if we look at the legend of Rhiannon. She is a figure in celtic mythology that is known for her intelligence and strategic sense and sharp mind. She is a hero of sorts which was strongly linked to white horses and was even depicted flying a pegasus. She was linked to the horse goddess Epona (so now you know why a certain horse is called that way). It could very well be that this myth stemming from Britain has directly influenced their pony designs.

Chibi Pinkie, our gamer feels that since Galarian Weezing already is a fighting type, as well as plenty of others being in the game now, it serves a balancing purpose. It’s pokédex entry of absorbing mystical energies does work for both types. She also feels we might not officially see a Galarian Rapidash but believes Ponyta might evolve into something else. To make it more akin to Galarian Farfetch’D it’s mirror pokémon in Pokémon Sword.

The Wise Man

A new leak of Pokémon Sword and Shield recently surfaced. Using the icon of an indian shaman and the handle of Wiseman. So it has been dubbed the Wiseman Leak. While not confirmed, the wise man uses a lot of information the so called Ben Affleck leak used as well. The Ben Affleck leak has so far been proven to be incredibly accurate and Wiseman seems to expand on this a bit. While easy enough to do recently Game-Informer had an interview with Game Freak which seem to bring credibility to this leak. A lot of the names mentioned seem to be extremely well thought off and in line with how Nintendo and Game Freak name their pokémon. So while not confirmed this leak belongs to the more credible ones. Then again, the Riddler leak looked promising as well and that has shown little as of late, it wasn’t really wrong but offered little info either.

The Indian guy is very clear cut, little mystery here. He for example tells the people that the Coal Pokémon Rollycoly, the coal Pokémon, will have two evolution stages, in his first evolution it should evolve into a pokémon called Rollycosta, a minecart pokémon. Since Rollycosta is introduced to us in a mine and it’s first forms already have wheels this seems to be quite plausible. It fits theme very well and it is this reporters belief that would be a perfect inbetween stage to let it transform into a steam train pokemon. Strongly connected to the new ability steam engine that Rollycosta gets and very fitting of the theme.

The Wise Man also has his say about how the story will go. Especially when talking about Marnie. She is a somewhat reluctant Idol who has to keep her fans happy but has the actual goal to stop Eternatus and thus the power the power force of Gigantamaxing. Eternatus is the the name the Ben Affleck leak gave to the third legendary that is oposion Zamazenta and Zacian. It is said that is called ‘he who lives below’ and through its power Dynamax and Gigantamaxing has become possible, because it hopes to use this force to eradicate the world of technology and eventually even human life. This could certainly be an interesting story and would make Max Raid battles quite believable, however it seems unlikely that a new battle mechanic would be disabled for the endgame so perhaps people will learn how to use it properly and if not this one might not get to fruition.

Other info he tells is that the character Oleana is like Plumeria , an evil Team Admin from Sun and Moon, but Rose (the Chairman of the pokémon league) who fans suspect to be evil is not like Guzma. It is unsure if he means Rose is not an evil guy or if he just eludes us by referring to personality. The Wise man also told that Zacian and Zamazenta would both be Steel Fairy Types. Their abilities would allow them to Gigantamax for the entire battle rather than just three turns. The pseudo legendary is said to be a dragon ghost type based on the Ouroboros. The snake that eats its own tail.

Starter Evolutions

The most interesting thing that this leak contains however is the names and very general descriptions of the starter evolutions including their typings.
Scorbunny is said to evolve into Raboot and then into Haretrik while the Ben Affleck leak already named the first evolution Wiseman is the first to name the final form. He describes it as a very human like pokémon with a very animal like face. In the Game Freak interview they described the patch on Scorbunny’s face to be that of a deliquant. So I expect the pokémon to take on a Bancho like appearance.. I imagine it like a sort of rabbit version of Jotaru Kujo from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures (Stardust Crusaders version). It will remain pure fire type through its entire line but will learn a lot of fighting moves.

Grookey is said to evolve into Grunkey and then into Gorocka, the Affleck leak described the final evolution as a Gorilla with drums so this seems to match up very well.Interestingly enough is is said this line will be a Grass-Normal type line. Which seems like an odd choice at first but given that all sound based moves are almost all normal types it actually would make a whole lot of sense.

Sobble is said to evolve into Sizzile and then into Intelleon. Wiseman claims the pokémon to be a water-poison type which would make it the first starter ever that is both super effective against the fire, as the grass type. This does sound like somewhat of an odd choice, but hey after 8 generations we could use a change up. The pokémon is be claimed to follow a spy theme, which makes a lot of sense to how the first trailer introduced Sobble to us. With a lot of camouflage and hiding skills, and let’s not forget the british theming when we talk about spies. The poison typing would fit nicely into such a theme as well. During the game freak interview they were very mysterious around sobble’s evolution evenly openly so , which could line up as well with the alleged theme.

While I am not very excited about the Scorbunny line the other two seem very interesting and very possible. The fact that we haven’t had a pure fire type in quite a while..(there hasn’t been any since gen 2) but water and grass had pure types in Gen 5 it would also feel appropriate)
Since the Affleck leak has yet to be flat out wrong on anything this might be what we are actually getting. Once again this is not confirmed yet so take everything with a healthy grain of salt. This is simply speculation right now that just so happens to match up with a lot of confirmed things so who knows.

About the blog

Now that we have been blogging for nearly four month , with an article each day it is time to analyse a bit. Currently we a follower count of 78 which about 30 individual followers visiting each day, sometimes a bit more sometimes a bit less. We of course still hope to expand the blog. We are growing at a nice and steady pace but given the length of our articles , it might not be possible to keep up 7 posts per week. So do not be afraid when soon we start missing a day at times, we are simply experimenting on how to optimise our little space here. Pokémon is a wonderful hobby to have and to share with the world. With plenty to tell. However I will need some time to play through pokemon fan-games watch a bunch of movies and edit some pictures for my stories and all. I have a fairly active social life and I am beginning to notice stuff is moving a bit out of balance and I need to figure this out.

Expect to see some experimental content in the future say for example instead of an entire review I do episodic let’s plays ending with a review. Expect items to get cut if they aren’t getting me views etc. So to all those who follow me I’d like to ask help me improve the site by really showing me what content you like. If you want me to return to your favorite what if story, or talk about your favorite pokémon, give more play tips or whatever let me know so I can improve this place and let it grow. If you have tips, want to help out , want to request something or whatever you desire feel free to use our contact page to reach out. I really want this place to be a unique voice in the pokémon world where both fans and non fans can discover something about the franchise. So if you have any ideas, don’t wait for the Pinkies to think up of them! Make a suggestion! Of course if you really like a certain type of content be sure to let me know in the comments or by liking a post so I can play the numbers game a bit better!

Thank you everyone for your ongoing support for this blog and I hope to bring you a lot of content in the days to come! Stay Pink and thanks for reading!

Pink-Poké-News: The 24 Hours In Glimwood-Tangle

Hey there little followers, welcome to another episode of Pink-Poké-News. From Friday 3pm till Saturday 3pm , Local Pinkie Time, a 24 hour live stream aired. Assistant Sonia had put a camera in the forest of Glimwood-Tangle and we send our reporter there to be present. What has been discovered? Find out here! These are all the audio recordings she send us.

Friday 3pm till 4pm

Live from Glimwood Tangle, this is Pinkie Cherry Blossom reporting and I am a Mushroom! You can not see me because I am hidden behind some shrubbery but I am there. I can watch everything you watch. The light on the camera just came on! It has begun! Twentyfour hours of pokémon research. I have taken a crate of red bull along.. but it’s hard to drink while in the mushroom. I hope everything will go alright… Oh.. what’s that.. A Pikachu is approaching the camera. It’s really cute! And that’s only the first five minutes I am sure this will be exciting!

Another five minutes in! Yes Morelull will be in the game! This little mushroom s so cute.. there are a lot.. one of em seems to be scraching it’s back against my mushroom… wait it’s not doing that it’s … …shooo! I am not in your egg group you vagrant!.

Ten more minutes in.. nothing happend for the past ten minutes. Yet I have an earpiece in.. directly connected to twitch chat…for some reason the chat has no moderates. There are so many dicks in chat… and I don’t mean the people! I mean pictures made with symbols and such…. so many!

It’s about half past three now Twitch chat is sick… why did they think leaving chat open was a good idea! Unmodded even! I threw up a bit… it made a pokémon run away.. all I saw was a mysterious tail. Wait… is that a Phantump I hear?!

Friday 4PM till 6PM

After hearing the Phantump there is no more news… it’s been nearly an hour since the phantump cry and we have yet to hear something new. Perhaps now is the time to tell you about a rumor that Pokémon Sword and Shield would have 18 gyms. This is untrue however. The game will feature 8 gyms like normal games. The confusion of this rumor stemmed from a translation error .. or impatient journalism. What was said was that canonically there are 18 gyms in Galar. However the players will only visit eight. This may have interesting implications though! Could it be that the Elite four of Galar aren’t type specialists. Maybe this time the endgame really is a league! Possibilities!

It’s nearly five of clock right now! It was a phantump.. .. yay! It just floated by!i love that pokémon! Wait.. does that mean a kid starved in this forest? It has too.. I mean..that’s how phantump are born. It’s actual in it’s pokedex. Perhaps I should eat a snack! I am pretty sure I saw a swirlix too! So that made me hungry for sweets.

Thirty minutes have passed since we spotted phantump.. I may have eaten most of my snacks already…whoops… but hey! Impidimp just cam strolling by. The Dark Fairy type that was shown during E3 finally got some love! It’s real and he won’t be scrapped at least! I am so happy! Three hoorays for Impidimp.

Another twenty minutes have passed I find it hard to keep fully invested….. but what is this! A mysterious new pokémon ran bye! It galopped! I haven’t gotten a clear few… but… Aaaargh… it stole ,my snacks!

Friday 6PM till Midnight

Nothing new to report for well over an half hour, I am now snackless, and getting cranky. Speaking about cranky! Let’s rip on Pokémon go for another bit! They released yet another wave of useless stupid shadow pokémon. This time it’s Onix Steelix, Shuppet, Banette, Duskull ,Dusclops, Dusknoir, Sableye, Snorunt, Glalie, Snover, Abomasnow, Delibird and Stantler. Another 28 bag slots wasted if you want to have them all plus in their purified form. Better upgrade your bag size AGAIN.. cause this is what we will be doing now. On the plus side of things P-Go released shiny Oddish. I love Vileplume (Bellossom not that much but mostly because it wastes what could have been another Vileplume) So this is my chance to catch a shiny Oddish and get my shiny Vileplume. Another six box spots gone though if you wish to own the shinies in both genders looks. At least the hunt for shinies with normal rates kinda feels exciting to me so yay for them on doing something nice as well.

I think it’s about seven pm for me right now.. I am not sure cause I had one of those candy watches… I ate it… ! There appear to be a lot of Fairy Pokémon in Glimwood-Tangle as a Cottonee just floated by. It’s a cute pokémon but not very exciting. I love Whimsicott and I will definitely go catch it.. but it’s unlike I will actually run it on my team.

Two hour past since I saw Cottonee, I hear a lot of morelull and stuff like that…nothing new to report.. as a pokémon fan I am happy to see the morelull every now and again.. but as a reporter…I mostly feel sleepy.’Wait I just heard a Ponyta cry’.. this is an odd for a fire horse! Will I die in a forest fire?

It has been an hour since I heard of the Ponyta.. no fire has come to consume me so I assume we are save. A Shiinotic is walking around.. this isn’t really a big reveal since it’s pre-evolution was already shown.. it is starting to look delicious though.

Events seem to be happening once every hour.. the mysterious pokemon made it’s return.. it looks like a horse.. but a Impidimp licked my glasses.. and then moved towards the camera. My view was obscured by slime… I suspect the viewers view was hindered by Impidimp himself.

Saturday Midnight to 8AM

Thats right can you see that timeleap there! … In the timestamp thing above me right here! Do you have any idea how bored I am gonna be?! Well neither do I because this is supposed to be a live report. Midnight has past and I saw a streak of the same pokémon.. it now is clear that this is the pokémon that this event is going to be all about. So many hints..

It has been somewhere between three and four hours since i last talked to the recording device… the horse pokémon tried to eat the camera. It could not possibly be as hungry as me as it at all my snacks… the things I would do for a Mew’s Fluffy Marshmallow drink right now! I feel cold and alone! I wish I brought some of my plushies! Speaking of which to all my american and japanese readers or those who are creative enough! There has been a new line of plushies announced for the pokémon center stores. These will be Scorbunny, Sobble and Grookey. .. Jeez I wonder which one i will get… spoiler.. non cause i can’t get them.. But i want a sobble! They all look pretty darn cute. And I wish I had some on me right now.
So cold….

It’s been well over four hours since I reported to you last… my life force was draining.. but I hear hooves clopping around. Oh my Arceus.. it is finally walking around at normal speed! It’s beautiful. It must be a Galarian Ponyta! It looks so much like the Kantonian one. It is really amazing. I wonder if it will keep showing up! This might become my new favorite Pokémon!

Saturday 8AM till 3 PM

I wish I could bring into words the vast amount of nothingness that has happened over the last 6 and a half hours of my life. There has been a lot of moreloll and even some more shiinotic action but that really is about it. The blandness and fatigue is taking over my senses. I just wish one of the morelull came close so I could bite of it’s head and finally get some food. Yet I won’t.. it’s so sweet. Speaking of sweet, Game Informer recently let us know via an interview they had with Game Freak that the latter has made a lot of back end changes in the game. Hidden parameters that people will understand once they see it. While they could not go into detail they basically said they had put systems into place to take your starter straight up into the competitive scene or will let you use old pokémon for sentimental reasons but allow you to make it better so you can battle with it. This means creating competitive pokémon very well might become a whole lot easier! Nice!

It has been nearly 24 hours since the event started a little under two minutes left. Two galarian ponyta came running down together they planned which each other. One did seem to lack a tail. When they hugged one’s fur glew all rainbowy .. the tailed one I think..it’s hard to see as their manes also fall over their butts at times. It seems like this is the ‘grand’ conclusion of this event. Nothing factual yet about ponyta but let me summarise. In twenty four hours we have seen the pokémon of Glimwood-Tangle and these Pokémon will be.
-Morelull & Shinotic
-Phantump
– Swirlix
– Cottonee
– Impidimp
– Galarian Ponyta.

With the exception of the latter we all knew this within the first four hours. That means I kinda wasted 20 hours and a lot of sleep! Yet it was worth it to see what very well might be my new favorite pokémon! What is that… oh no! Something just destroyed the camera… and now it’s coming for me! It looks beautiful… It’s coming after me! …. I’m so scared! Aaaaaargh!

Well we seem to have lost contact with our reporter at around Five minutes past 3pm. Hopefully we will learn more and if so we will keep you informed. This was Pink Poké News for now!

Question to my Readers

What do you think about Galarian Ponyta?

The New Pokémon Series

Recently we got new about the newest Pokémon series announced. Unfortunately we will not see Marnie as a protagonist or even one of the Galar people as companions yet the series will revolve around an interesting concept which could save it.

Ash is Back

Let’s first address the elephant in the room, the series opted for the safe route and decided to let Ash and Pikachu make their return. Something I expected but really rooted against. It remains unclear if we get a rebooted Ash or a continuation who once more left his pokémon behind. In the teaser that was revealed we hear him yelling he wants to be a pokémon master, which he kind of became already so softly I hope to see a rebooted version. The concept of the series however seems to make this unlikely. It seems more to become more akin to a legacy season. However looking at his design Ash looks younger once again. His eyes have become a lot brighter and bigger, his hair spikes upwards rather than horizontal, giving him a more playful and energetic look. He wears a vest that closely resembles his vest in season one, similar as how the title changed back to pokémon, without a subtitle. Similar to when he first began. The white sleeves of the vest are gone though.. instead it is sleeveless and he wears a white shirt underneath.. to produce a similar look still. His shoes also look look like an updated version of Gen I Ash. For some reason though they chose to replace his jeans with shorts. Which this reporter doesn’t find that fashionable. It makes him look like a Youngster. It’s weird because his buddy walks around in skinny jeans. His Rotom Dex will become more smartphone like.

Let’s Go

This time Ash will be accompanied by an androgynous boy named Go. Dark skinned, blue eyes with some bobby pins in his hair and somewhat feminine eyes he appears to be a fully original character. Whose design I find very agreeable. Having a cool demeanour around him he comes across as a confident young trainer of his own. Not something like the throwaway followers like Max or Bonnie and more passionate than Gym Leaders like Cillian or Clemmont. In fact by the looks of it it almost seems as if the series will focus slightly more on Go.

In fact by the looks of it it almost seems as if the series will focus slightly more on Go. The teaser makes it look like it will be a two protagonist series, yet Go’s goal seems to be very central in the story. When he was a young boy Go met Mew and he wishes to find him again. Featured both on the poster and it being an adorable sound bite at the end of the short teaser, this search seems to be an extremely relevant aspect of the plot. More so than Ash potential gym challenge. Yes I am saying potential gym challenge because it may not even be about it at all. Could this be a series in which we pass the torch? Moving from Ash to Go? It would be very interesting and a very open ended way to handle Ash departure. Pleasing both his supporters as those who wish to see him retire. In the japanese version he will be voiced by Daiki Yamashita who is best know , at least recently, for his voice portayel of Deku from My Hero Academia The only thing I do not like about Go so far is giving him a Scorbunny as his partner pokémon. Making it seem like the best pick! Cleary that honour should go to Sobble!

Traveling across the lands

What makes this series potentially interesting is the concept. On the reveal poster we saw a globe featuring all the regions and they will all be visited in this anime. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn , Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos , Alola AND Galar. A trip across the world to find Mew. This is where a non rebooted Ash comes in. It would be a lot more rewarding to see everyone Ash has interacted with in those regions to react to his championship title and to reminisce , it would validate Ash alongside Go for this story. It would be nice to see May again, if we found out that Max has tragically died (I really hated him in the anime) it would even be nice to see Ash and Serena catch up that way.

Yet it would also make sense to let the rebooted Ash travel alongside Go.. picking up after Ash first saw Ho-Oh they could travel together to find the legendaries who influenced their lives so much. The concept has potential but makes it hard to be focussed around a gym challenge. Without a rebooted Ash this makes perfect sense though! He already is a champion so he would pursue other goals, with two protagonists it would also prevent us from having to look at a double gym battles should Go be into similar endeavours. It would make for an interesting show if we deal with other teams rather than getting stronger and stronger but instead focus on the more mysterious side of the pokémon world. Questing for other goals than a simple competition can lift the series much more into a exciting serial anime with less of the ‘filler’ content the other shows had. There definitely is potential in this one but a lot of dangers too.

A birthday gift

The new series will begin airing on the seventeenth of November. The day of my birthday. Now this series could be a lovely gift or something I trade in immediately it remains to be seen. I am getting a Sylveon rug for my birthday as well and I will gift myself the Pokémon Sword game of course, so it has a lot of great gifts to compete with. Sun and Moon got a lot of flack for its art style..but the fluidity it brought to animations was actually great, with the developments in style it looks a bit more crisp as well. While the main character might not appeal to me all that much anymore this would be the way to make him more appealing.

If the other regions however turn out to be filler in between Galar gym badges this show will be dropped faster than a bungee jumping Snorlax. Since I am a little social bug I might be quite busy around that day but reviews will be coming and they will be honest! The transition from Kalos to Alola was to much of a drop-off for me to fully follow the series. Yet this time we don’t see a badass Ash reverting back into a kid. This might be something I can get behind. Keep following me up until december at least to find out if this show is any good.

Question to my Readers:

Do you like the concept of this new series?

While I feel incredibly mixed about the idea, there is potential to build the show out in a new way, yet if they do not innovate this will turn out to a big dud. Either way we either will have a Gyarados of a series or a Magikarp of a series.. no in between for this one. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Pink-Poké-News: Week 38

Finally there has been a week where Pokémon has become newsworthy again. This means this reporter can finally earn her imaginary money again. It’s still no real money but at least it’s something! With that being said it is time for a new installment of Pink-Poké-News

Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go has shown a lot of interaction with the community lately, asking to see our shiny captures from last weeks Turtwig hunt, and as per this week asking them who their favorite new starter is. That’s right NEW starter. A bunch of Unova pokémon have been released into the wilds, with pokémon like Lillipup and Patrat (your respective rattata-likes) already coming in their shiny form as well. Like with Sinnoh not all generation V pokémon will be released at the same time, but it’s neat to see some new faces and see them pop up fairly regular, without being to spammingly present. The launch of the unova pokémon has been done fairly well and made the hunt a lot more fun again. A big improvement from the shadow pokémon duplicates.

It has also been announced that Flygon and it’s pre-evolutions Trapinch and Vibrava will be the subject of that weeks hunt. Like always will a fully evolved pokémon get a exclusive event move and lures will last three hours. Capture xp will also pay out threefold , which is a bit lackluster given that we are high level already and would need to capture a billion trapinch to gain a level. As far as design is concerned both shin trapinch and vibrava are quite solid with trapinch becoming a alolan grimer green shade while vibrava goes to a fall like pallet of orange red and yellow. Shiny Flygon however looks quite horrible. Having it’s red outlining replaced with a bright cyan one.. but it’s red eyes and red details replaced by a mustardy yellow and it’s main body going just a shade darker it is not exactly pretty. Unlike some shinies we’ve seen it’s noticeable at least…but it’s not our favorite by far. Regular Flygon looks so much better, this one looks kinda like it’s cousin that still believes it lives in the 90’s. Luckily this week Shiny Yanma and Yanmega launched as well, though hard to get shiny Yanmega looks dropdead gorgeous.

Champion Ash

Around the time that this post goes live we will reach the conclusion of Sun and Moon series, with only a goodbye or so remaining in the last episode, depending on how they will pace this last stand off. We saw Ash take the big trophy and win his first pokéleague. The last week the PPN crew had great fun watching this little news topic blow up way beyond its proportions. The news reached several “actual’ news sites, became a hot topic on twitter and inspired a wave of memes. The community lived up again, even those who only were there just to witness the first generation, which was quite beautiful to behold. Even if people grew out of Ash, he became a symbol people still rooted for after twenty two years of losing.. and dying. It was nice to see so many people fondly reminisce about a boy that has brought some great television into their life and was clearly an icon. With how beloved he has proven to be, this would seem like the best send of the character could ever have so we do hope he retires but at the time of speaking it remains to be seen what happens. In this reporter’s post earlier this week we go into depth about the topic and talk about what we want to see in the future.

New Masters in Masters

Pokémon Masters is releasing micro events on a fairly regular basis keeping it nice and active with lots of people to interact with and new trainers to be done. The so called EX-battles which can be considered the games post game content are being regularly replaced and we have gotten three trainer highlight banners so far. We first started with Blue , the rival of Pokémon Red and Blue series, after which we moved to Olivia, the second Kahuna you’ll have to face off against in Pokémon Sun and Moon and their Ultra Counterparts. This week it was time for Lyra, the female version protagonist of Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver. She is not to be mistaken for Kris, the protagonist of Pokémon Crystal, which is set in the original Gold and Silver universe. Kris IS on the banner however. Where Kris signature pokémon is Totodile, Lyra comes with Chikorita which is kind off a shame. We get Rosa , the five star grass protagonist of Black and White 2 as a freebie and Brendan the male protagonist from Ruby and Sapphire has his Treecko, which means we already have 3 grass type five stars and we maybe just have 10 five stars in total. If even. (Hard to tell with alternating banners) Which does seem kind of unbalanced. So while Lyra is cute as a button, I would recommend not going to deep moneywise into this banner because while she is nice to collect, I’d rather see some diversity in my teams.

Sirfetch’D

We were exactly right… well 90% right. Sirfetch’D is real! Earlier we talked about a weird glitch appearing on the pokémon website. Like many people I theorised it was Sirfetch’D but I also made some diagrams to show me how I felt it would actually look like! And I was very right! Not only did we complete the correct pokédex sentence, we also managed to deduce how it would function. The only thing we had wrong was the suit of armor. Sirfetch’d is white in colour, so we will assume galarian farfetch’d is as well. What we mistook for his armor was just his pristine white skin. A white knight rather than a knight in shiny armor. We are quite happy with the announcement made as the pokémon looks quite amazing. It is kind of weird why the pokémon is completely a fighting type.. but since it’s leek sword is so important it makes sense he can not fly with it and will not fly without it. Sirfetch’d ability will be steadfast which will boosts the speed stat everytime the pokémon gets flinched. Depending on the physical defence stat of this pokémon this could make him decent enough in the competitive scene as a speedy physical wall or sweeper.

It’s animations in camp look quite fun and overall we do think it’s a nice evolution for a pokémon who thoroughly deserved to have one. Yet be warned because Sirfetch’D is a pokémon Sword Exclusive. That means you will not be able to catch it if you purchase pokémon Shield, of course you can still trade it but if you want to get the duck nice and easy you’ll have to go with the Sword game. This most likely does mean that Pokémon Shield will have a Galarian evolution to call it’s own. Based on our sources, our bet will go out to Galarian Meowth and Galarian Persian. Let’s see if we will be right again.

Question to my Readers:

What do you think of Sirfetch’D

Pikachu is ready for fall

With the seasons changing it’s going to be fall for Pikachu soon, as it like me is a northern hemisphere creature. To celebrate this the Pokémon Centers across the world.. not sure if there are any on the southern half of the world, will have a new figure in their collection. The so called Surprise Fall Pikachu.

It’s not a great figure by any means. It’s readability is really poor and people I show this one too either see it as a Pikachu that got covered in a pumpkin, or a Pikachu under a pizza blanket and one friend thought it was Pikachu melting with the orange being it’s skin and blood mixing, yes I have some messed up friends. Another saw Pikachu covered in mustard and ketchup.. but non really saw Pikachu covered in leafs until they looked at the background for context. That’s a bad thing in my opinion While I do not mind people not knowing who Chibi Moon is and saying.. that’s a weird pose I do actually dislike them saying … Oh dear! What the F happened to Pikachu?! The figure is produced by Funko and features a little Pumpkaboo either, which makes that smashed pumpkin read even more credible. Pikachu also hit the news last week in a more literal away as he ‘hosted’ the ABC-News weather along side Ginger Zee. Apparently the weather segment was being sponsored by Pokémon Go in the wake of the Unova Pokémon release.

While Ginger tells us a bit about Snivy being spotted in the forests we see a Pikachu standing in the studio with her. Afterwards Ginger shared a picture of her and Pikachu on her twitter stating ‘Pokémon are interested in meteorology as well’ to which the official pokémon twitter replied ‘Of course they do, the weather can have impact on attack effectiveness. With a new figure out to celebrate fall and the ability to predict the weather Pikachu sure is ready for the leaves to fall. Let’s hope that when the real one gets hit by a bunch of leafs it looks better than that figurine at least. Better than Ginger’s outfit too!

And that concludes today’s edition of Pink-Poké-News, with quite a few events happening it feels like this week has taken quite a while, it’s been a fun week though with a lot of pokémon news and new experiences for me to go trough. Now it’s time for a well earned rest. Let’s see what the next week brings.

The Alola League Champion: Ash Ketchum

Jason Paige has gone silent, disbelief, joy and an occasional tear. It has been over twenty years but now it has finally happened….Ash Ketchum has won a Pokémon League. The never aging boy is the first champion of Alola. He is the very best.. like in Alola no one ever was.

The Big Trophy

Before episode 139 of Pokémon sun and Moon was aired we already saw images of Ash holding a trophy being leaked. People saw the colour and how it resembled a winners trophy of other leagues and began to speculate. Could they really spoil this, is this a hoax? Could Gladion be knocked down with Ash catching the trophy for him? We were prepared for all sorts of scenario after the famous episode title change back in 2016. However since the Pokémon Sword and Shield anime series would just be called Pokémon and the way the narrator thanked Ash in episode 138 like this would be his last Hurrah people began to suspect that this very well may be it. Ash might hold the trophy he actually earned.

Now for those with a good memory , this is not the actual first time Ash has won a Pokémon League persé. There are those who claim he has won the Orange conference and while this may be true, that league is not officially recognised in anything else than the anime. In anime terms the Orange Island Arc was by all intents and purposes filler. Throughout the series it’s barely referenced nor did it really impact Ash as a person. He never felt like the very best.. because he really wasn’t . While still an impressive feat I like to compare it to any other tournament form.. while the Pokémon League can be considered nationals.. or even the world championships of pokémon the Orange League never was much more than winning at regionals. The small trophy he got reflected this, it never gave him much fulfillment anyway. So yes ladies and gentlemen this is the first thing Ash has won a majorly important one. Finally.

A Journey completed

After the completely unjustifiable loss at the Kalos League my hope for the anime dwindled and rightfully so. Sun and Moon as an anime could not keep up with the amazingness of X&Y. While the artstyle is something you can grow into it did feel like the ultimate insult to see Ash be reduce from someone imposing to someone that looks like he’s animated on a tight time and money budget someone that is truly young. Ash returning to trainer school made me drop the anime for quite a while. When they reached the rename part .. and I found out they turned Lusamine in the good and loving mother she was depicted as in the show I cringed a bit more. The show had really lost it’s magic for me. Ash had journeyed for too long. Yet in retrospect we saw a lot of closure from classic storylines in this series, in retrospect giving it a final quality. We saw Brock finally get a girlfriend, we saw Misty grow into a much more potent young trainer and more recently we saw lilly conquer her fears and see Gladion use his father’s Pokémon. Even season one’s Jigglypuff returned.. it finally sang it’s song from start to finish with Komala staying ‘awake’ through it all in the end seeing jigglypuff being knocked out and it’s face doodled at.. with it’s own little journey completed.

Team Rocket getting the short and of the stick once more (for now). With Ash now finally winning a tournament one could wonder is this season where the narrator will finally say.. the end? My hope goes out to a positive answer to this question. Though Sun and Moon finally made me drop the series for most of its runtime , I on occasion still followed the adventures of my main man but it began to feel thin. Like Bilbo Baggins once described ‘Like butter that has been spread out over too much bread. We needed to see this yet at same time.. we are kinda done with Ash. One way or the other a journey has ended.

The Road ahead is empty

Now that we are getting close to seeing the Sword and Shield anime we can wonder what lies ahead. If they continue with current Ash not much. I wanted to see him become the champion and now that I did I can wholeheartedly say I am done with the character. Yet also for Ash himself there would not be that much more to achieve. One could make the argument that since the Alola league is the first of its kind it isn’t as official or prestigious as the indigo league or since Galar is a bit sports focussed that will be a more professional league so that there is still ways for Ash to grow. While I am willing to accept those ideas as somewhat valid it would remove any tension arc from the stories. For a new journey to be meaningful it would mean Ash HAS to win the more prestigious league as well or he will in fact move backwards. Which means that narratively speaking Ash is a dead end.

Letting him win in Galar is the only justified arc he could still go through but because it’s the only option it’s not really an aspect that needs to be explored. Ash as if might not have reached his zenith yet..which on it’s own is debatable but we now all know he will get there. THIS Ash is used up. There is no interesting story to tell with their side characters either, the only one who might have an arc still would be Serena and her arc really needs Ash to age to be completed. So it indeed would seem that the anime has nowhere to go. Like I said before though.. the new series will not carry a subtitle.. at least not in japan where it will just be called Pocket Monsters. In movie terms reusing the original titles usually means one thing and one thing alone. Reboot.

Who’s that Protagonist?

Now a reboot could be done in many ways. We could see Ash age to a grown up competing in the more professional Galar league after a few years of rest. Being mature now Ash could be involved in some themes he did not really have to deal with before. Romance could become a real thing of his journey but also his battle style would have to change to a more serious more clear cut and direct battler.While not the most compelling narrative option , i’d say this is their only option to keep current Ash and give him some room to develop. His championship could become secondary to his coming to age story. Yet going this route will be one of many pitfalls that would mean excluding some game features or even characters he can encounter. The game would have to be represented significantly less. With the job system though it could still work to some extent.

The most popular protagonist theory however is an Ash Reset. we simply get a new Ash Ketchum, mostly likely one living in Galar starting his journey with a Pikachu much like old Ash did. Other reboot theories consist using the Ash from the “I choose you Pikachu movie” timeline. In this timeline he never traveled with Brock and Misty and Kanto already knew the Legendary Dogs and even Alolan Pokemon, so it’s almost like.. what if Ash was born 20 years later. While this could work I think it would result in a lot of people resisting, with all the hate Pokémon is getting for Sword and Shield already it seems like a very dumb choice to make. Though one that is quite marketable if they manage to pull it off. The anime has always been about Ash and Pikachu and if Detective Conan can stay fresh for decenia Ash should be able to do so too. The community needs to keep an open mind for that though and I am not sure if this is the proper day and age for that. It’s so easy to hate.

So the best option would be to have a new protagonist. While rude mouth brittish avatar girl seems like a good pick I personally would really like if the story is focussed about on Marnie. Marnie is one of the rivals in the game and the one who is idolised by the evil team Yell. It could be very interesting to tell a narrative from a more edgy main character who combats her inner darkness and her desire to win rather than ignorance. The way she would deal with her fans trying to give her unfair advantages would also be a very fresh narrative. Marnie could deal with the pressure of being seen as the best opposed to being a nobody everyone suddenly starts looking up too. Marnie has a less linear narrative, where Ash journey is just to overcome an obstacle Marnie’s journey would be one of black or white choices. Her fans count on her so will she push her Morpeko to claim victory despite the cost to her pokémon or will she spare her pokémon but anger her fans and team Yell? It could push Pokémon as a series more into animé territory and less into serial cartoons. I would not mind potty mouth british avatar meme girl as a protagonist either if they make her a bit smarter than Ash.

Please Don’t

Now what do I really hope we won’t see? Two things.. a continuation of Ash as is will make me not even pick up the series at all his journey is complete, I am so done with him. The second one is a bit more sensitive. The second character I would not like to see as a main character is Hop. Hop is the little brother of the pokémon league champion and your only rival of a different skin colour. Now I have no problem in creating more diversity in ethnicity in main characters , I love Miles Morales and the new Miss Marvel. Hop however would be to much like Ash. Their personalities would not differ enough. Had Hau been the protagonist of Sun and Moon after Ash won Kalos, i’d be be perfectly fine with it.. because Hau is more carefree than Ash he is extreme, his carefree nature could be something he needs to work on in order to become a great. Hop however seems to have the Ash mentality.. he likes to win but he also seems a bit of an airhead with a good heart.

Miles Morales is very different from Peter Parker so regardless of heritage he adds something new. While I respect that for some people it is important to find more representation I am simply judging this from a narrative standpoint. Hop is an Ash Clone.. just like Trace from let’s go Eevee kinda is. Pokémon needs something new.. something fresh from a narrative stance. Hop would not offer that. I also would not want Serena to become the main character, her goals would have to be changed to much. Even though she is a fan favorite with a story still to complete they would need a very strange narrative to shoehorn her in. Letting her compete to grow seems like something she would not do. The only fitting narrative I could find fitting if Ash goes missing and rumors say he went to Galar .. and she starts to compete to face him at the pokéleague.. but this would weigh the story down a lot.

With the Alola trophy in Ash hands the future of the pokémon anime is insecure. This can be the fresh breath of air the series so desperately needs or the nail to the coffin for many viewers. Unlike Ash I still have some hopes and dreams and my biggest right now is a female protagonist.. or at least no Ash or Ash clone.

Question to my readers:

What would you like to see in the future of the Pokémon Anime?

So that concludes my feelings about Ash winning a pokémon league.. I am so happy it is finally over , but it can get worse for here as well. Once again in my choices I do not mean to upset anyone these are simply my views based on available assets and looking to what I find lacking in the series and what would make it thrive and what would stagnate it.
Ash has died 9 times before becoming the pokémon league champion, I just hope that when he dies next time it’s not because using him again killed the franchise.

Data analysis: The Mysterious Glitched Reveal

Hello little Watsons!
On september 13th 2019 around seven o’clock in the morning standard Pinkie time, something strange happened to the pokémon sword and shield website. A glitched picture began to appear and began directing people towards a glitched new pokemon entry. It’s name, height and large parts of it’s flavor texts have been redacted or glitched out. Today we analyse what this Pokémon is. For now we only know it’s a fighting type.

Evolution

First of all a thing we can deduce with certainty is that this pokémon is an evolution. After all it’s flavor text reads Only (Glitched) that have survived many battles can attain this (Glitched). When this Pokémon’s (Glitched) (Partially Gltched)ers, it will retire from combat.
The first line is pretty much a dead give away. Only (Pokémon name) that have survived many battles can attain this evolution. After all it is a new pokédex entry so it must talk about the pokémon in question. While it could be a side form this does not make any sense. The pokémon website however does play the rotom sound if you click on this garbled mess of a picture. This is why some people believe this is a form of Rotom.. here is why you are very wrong if you believe that idea. First and foremost is the fact that Rotom is a ghost electric type whose whole thing is to possess appliances. Therefore the quantity of battle would not make any sense unless it is some warlike tool like a tank. while one might see a cannon on the “head” of the glitch Game Freak was never allowed to to make Remoraid look like a gun, or make octillery look like a tank. In this day and age it will have only become worse.. therefore the pokedex entry makes no sense if it refers to any other appliances. Secondly it’s color scheme does not match up at all when rotom possess an appliances it’s a orangish red appliance. The reveal is donned in earth colours. To fix this Rotom would have to get a Galarian Form.. which would be dumb as it will ruin an very interesting concept and force them to create at least just as many rotom forms.. or by penalty of the galar dex only keep the one, which fans will not like. This applies to basically everything with slide forms as well. So Rotom is out if we consider this from a positive stance. Of course Nintendo and Game Freak could drop the ball massively but with the Dexit hate.. they would have to be pretty stupid to hype a form reduction. With multiforms not really working out the only thing that makes sense for the flavor text is if the second glitched out text bit says evolution.

Eevee

People might wonder if it could possibly be an eeveelution as we are in an even numbered generation and that means new eeveelutions usually. And while only Eevee who survived plenty of battles can achieve this evolution would indeed make for a new form of evolution such a mechanic would be much to frustrating. Eevee that has to have been in a number of encounters before it evolves would make counting extremely tricky and impractical, making sure it will not faint for x amount battles would make it even harder. So the only way this new mechanic could be implemented would have to be a hard set level that if Eevee ever reaches that particular level it will ALWAYS evolve into ‘Puncheon’, which would lock away a normal type evolution forever. Adding a fighting type eevee would also be bad for balance, right now Sylveon is the best eeveelution in a meta sense. It doesnt have a weakness among any of the eevee’s and is super effective against the runner up in terms of strongest. Adding a fighting type to the line would only give Espeon and Sylveon more of a boost and they don’t really need that. At the reveal of camps near the end of August we saw all known eeveelutions sitting together with no extra one , that seen seems to just be there to confirm we will not be getting a new eevee this time around or that it would have most likely have been used to spice up the camp reveal. So I am sorry but I do not think we’ll be getting a new eeveelution.

Galarian Form

Now let’s think like a detective for a moment and question the motives of posting a post in this way shall we? Why would you build up hype with a redacted name and redacted text? Let’s say I thought up the coolest new Pokémon named Pinkie, who evolves from the pokémon Pinku. If those pokémon are not know yet , there would not be reason to redact the names Pinkie and Pinku. The reason to blank these things is because the names would tell us to much information We can within reasonable doubt say that Game Freak and Nintendo would only choose for this method if they would reveal to much otherwise, a not known name is virtually the same as a glitch after all. So this is a pokémon we know by name at least and the Pokémon Company already mentioned there will be more cases like Obstagoon where a pokémon that could not evolve in its regular will evolve as a Galar form it’s easy enough to put two and two together.Now since it’s themed like a glitch Galarian Porygon would make sense.. but that one already evolves twice and already is way too good to get a fourth evolution anyway. An alternate evolution makes little sense as well because the pokémon’s height is redacted. Meaning the height could reveal the pokémon most likely, but it also means that when this pokémon reveals it keeps the exact same height as it’s previous form.. because it’s weight HAS been declared at around 116 kilograms. Since the name of the pokémon itself also has been redacted it must be a name that resembles the original too much. Naming conventions aren’t always like that. For example had Lombre never gotten an evolution and they would announce Ludicolo , once more it would not be needed to redact the name, they are different enough people would not directly guess. A galarian form with an evolution that sounds very close to the origin pokémon.. a leaker has revealed such a names just after the starters got revealed or maybe even a bit before. The same leaker who told us it would take place in a british region.

Sirfetch’d

The Pokémon in question is Sirfetch’d the evolution of the slept upon but quite beloved farfetch’d. Now the long rod the pokemon hold does indeed seem to be coloured like a leak, while the other green bit could be seen as a sword. We can see some avian shapes as a beak and such but this image gets even more convincing if we flip it 90 degrees.

Now we can arguably see a duck in armor holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. It is a knight… the same ones who bear the title Sir in England. The little skin that is shown within the armor matches the colour of farfetch’d and if we look closely we even see the three little blops of hair that farfetch’d iconically has. As is it quite literally looks just like a farfetch’d donned a suit of armor and got a vegetable shield. Meaning it’s height would NOT have changed.. therefore Nintendo and Game freak would have to redact it from people not cross referencing it with Farfetch’d height. It’s weight has obviously changed now that is is wearing armour so there is no need to redact the tacts. Now remember that one of the redacted bits was only partially redacted. Using Sirfetch’d as an example we can complete an actual sentence. “Only Farfetch’D that have survived many battles can attain this evolution. When it’s leak (or whatever vegetable it’s shield will be made off) withers it retires from combat. It is said that if a Farfetch’D loses it’s stick it immediately runs of to find another one as it can’t live without one (in a metaphorical way because they can eat it as emergency supplies) so it does all add up. What do you think little Watsons? I at least do not think I am wrong!

Reader Question:

What do you see in this image?

So with this new mystery and it’s possible solution comes a lot of new questions as well. Why is it a fighting type? It does make sense for a warrior in armor not to be able to fly so there is that. Alongside the idea it has to be a perfect warrior. While I do think I am right I do not claim to know all the answer but it’s certainly fun to speculate.

Pink-Poké-News: Week 35

Ladies and gentlemen it’s sunday again. Time to find out what announcements you might have missed during the week.. as we leave the month of August today it’s time for a brief edition of Pink-Poke-News.

Pokémon Masters is LIVE!

The new mobile Gacha-game Pokémon Masters is now available worldwide. The highly anticipated three versus three pokémon legacy game launched earlier this week. Due to personal circumstances the reporter however was unable to acquire a copy for reviewing. When finally getting back into the swing of things, it turned out that Pokémon Master would not be released in the Netherlands and Belgium because of their strict laws against loot boxes However should YOU live in the Netherlands or Belgium yourselves a bit of research has allowed this reporter to find a work around. Trough using a so called APK file you can download an app that is not available in your app store. Since this reporter is about as technically apt as her D&D 5th E characters, she is utterly unable to tell if a site is safe or unsafe. She just clicks and hopes for the best. Therefore there will not be any links to sites for a APK and the reporter asks the readers interested in playing this game to google it themselves. “How to play Pokemon Masters in (your country)” worked as wonderful search prompt for me.. of course in your native language. Our copy of the game has been handed over to Chibi Pinkie for a review which will follow as soon as she makes it through a bit of the game. Pokémon Masters also have revealed that their first event will feature Blue. He will most likely be obtained through this event with his signature pokémon Pidgeot.

Once more we unfortunately can’t go into details due to massive system updates in the beginning of the game .. taking their sweet while. However finding out about the game yourself can also be quite fun and discovering how to unlock mister “smell you later’ can feel rewarding on it’s own. Pokémon Masters launch has been quite successful , though on launch day there where a few crashes and log in problems, this sooner testifies of success these days as to failure because most of these errors were caused by it’s sheer popularity. Quite like pretty much every Blizzard release. The new game is already the most downloaded app in over 25 countries, even though it already was downloaded several million times during pre-registration. The player count thusly being very healthy at launch and reviews are mostly quite positive, which for a mobile game is still a win. People are praising the gameplay and looks but are all complaining on how expensive it is to spend money on pulls, yet since everyone seems to agree with this statement most reviewers also feel this issue will be solved in the future.

Pokémon Go shoves more Eevee down your throat.

We at Pink-Poké-News have made it pretty clear that we aren’t big fans from the direction Pokémon Go is currently going. However the announcement of Unova Pokémon coming soon has rekindled some hope… this week Niantic snuffed out that hope again by announcing the september breakthrough research. By doing our dailies like a good loyal player in september we can get.. Floral Crown Eevee. This is an Eevee with a flower stuck on it’s head. What makes this event Eevee..somewhat special is that it can evolve into all of it’s seven eeveelutions. Once more proving that Niantic is not interested in letting you fill up your pokédex.. they just want you to fill up your box with faux unique pokémon. Adding a flower to Eevee means players who want to collect everything are forced to allocate another 16 bag slots to fill get every possible variation. Floral Crown Eevee, Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Espeon, Umbreon Glaceon and Leafeon.. as well as all of their shiny counter parts as well as their shiny variations. Currently a standard box in Pokémon Go can hold 300 pokémon, for upgrades you need to spend money or coins that takes at least 4 days to grind up. No matter if you grind or pay each upgrade costs about 2 dollars for a 50 pokémon upgrade, not a whole lot but still annoying. Now.. let’s see how broken Pokémon go has really become to the true collector. The game currently features 394 ish.. pokemon. So already.. you can’t collect them all without spending money… you can still complete the pokedex though.. but that isn’t were the game caters to anymore. Currently you lack about 100 slots to fill your box with everything. Now there are 32! (Maybe more if there was another headgear Eevee) possible Eevee combinations to currently collect. There is 38 shadow Pokémon that also have a purified version meaning that is 76 additional combinations to add that do NOT really contribute to you catching them all. There’s 8 spinda forms .. which also has a shiny meaning there is 16 Spinda to collect. Since Pikachu has a noticeable gender difference between male and Female.. as well as having a shiny there is currently 44 Pikachu’s to collect, most hat forms can evolve or hatch into a prevolution.. so there’s (rough estimate) over 100 pikachu evolution line pokemon. 100+ Pikachu line , 76 shadow pokemon with their 38 regular counterparts, 32 eevee’s 16 spinda’s.. that’s already 262 pokémon for you to fill you box with that equal 51 legitimate Pokédex entries. That’s over 5 times as much! Niantic is inflating their Pokémon count to force players to spend money on getting the same pokémon over and over again.

We aren’t even that salty about it as it seems like smart business strategy.. but just LAST month we had an event where you could get floral crown Eevee AS well. Rehashing the pokémon in this period makes it feel like creative poverty. It marginalises tradability by rehashing event pokemon over and over again until everyone has them .. just like how community day has killed the values of shinies… as well as filled up my box. I would not nag about how unfair Pokémon Go is treating their player base if they at least launched a new variation that is unique to playing in september. It would force us to trade again. They marginalised raids by putting former raid pokémon and cramming them into the field research as well. Sure it is nice that you can get some pokémon the way you want to play but it feels conflicted with how they initially meant the game to be played. Everyone can get anything if you wait long enough and rather then come up with something new .. or at least keep something unique to a certain aspect of the game they just rehash and repack so everyone can fill up their box space as soon as possible to spend their money on upgrades.
This game used to have a soul but Niantic is quickly selling it out for an easy buck. We will admit we understand why you cater to the hardcore and new players.. but me as a casual high level player feel completely forgotten and forsaken by niantic right about now.

Hidden Fates and Cosmic Eclipse

Now that I finished my rant how about a rave! Pokémon Hidden Fates launched last week and it’s slowly becoming available throughout the english speaking world. Hidden Fates is a translation of the long time japan only GX Ultra Shiny packs with a twist. Unlike Japan we do not get guaranteed GX’s in our packs.. but we pay a lot less as well. It uses a few more modern cards from recent sets as well to make it more relevant. What makes this set so special is that it features a lot of shiny pokémon. Both as GX’s as well as some regular holographic ones. Unlike the japanese set.. HF comes with a lot of set unique GX’s that though lackluster in battle strength feature some nice close up art. One of the unique cards in this set is Articuno Zapdos Moltres Tag Team as well as a shining Charizard of course. Hidden Fates much more a collectors set than a battlers set though. There are some very good cards in the set still but you’d sooner by this set to collect rather than to play. This is reflected in the prices a card can fetch. Shiny Charizard graded will most likely fetch a few hundred dollars, while even the quite oftenly pulled legendary trio of Kanto fetches a few bucks. Pull rates for this set also seem quite well, that being said we mostly saw the promotional blister box being opened which admittedly does have some better pulls than your more conventional booster box or elite trainer box.The set is gorgeous and expansive with plenty cards for the true collector. However those who seek to build a deck would be better off with unified minds or unbroken bonds. Quite possibly even the last Sun and Moon set that will ever be release Cosmic Eclipse.

The Pokémon Sun and Moon card sets have decided to go out with a bang. Around the 10th of November.. just a few days before the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield.. the final card set from the series will arrive. and boy will they deliver some goodness. For those who don’t know.. as soon as a new series begins generally all cards from the older generations become tournament illegal at least at official games. (With the exception of like the last two sets.. if they haven’t changed those rulings). Since Hidden Fates is a legacy set.. it will most likely mean that besides some good supporters you from HF Cosmic Eclipse singlehandedly has to close the gap between the new V cards and their own generations Tag Team cards.
While we got the gist of what will be inside the packs , the specific content was only teased at. The set will contain 9 new tag team cards, 7 additional gx’s and well over 20 supporter cards and a brand new form of special energy. New in this set will be the so called Tag Team Supporters. A supporter card featuring two trainers liked “Red and Blue’ as well as “Cynthia and Caitlin’ How these will impact the game remains to be seen. Other than that.. two new triple tag team cards where announcement. The Sinnoh Creation Trio: Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX as well as the ultra cute pink card Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX. These were briefly depicted in the trailer for the Sword and Shield set at Pokémon worlds but now.. they are finally rolling of the press. I bet you guys can guess which card this reporter will be pulling for.

Pinkie’s Pokemon Reached 50 followers.

Now existing for about 2,5 months Pinkie’s Pokemon has reached 53 subscribers at the moment of writing. Once more I would like to thank everyone who has made that possible. Blogging about a niche in a niche we never expected things to grow this fast. With plenty of content experiments planned in the near future like Trainer Profiles.. where I turn you favorite character, blogger or celebrity into a trainer. Little crossover stories of your universe of choice .. mixing it with Pokémon as well. We will delve into some material deeper by providing you tutorials for it then later discussing it in depth referring to these base posts amongst other things. Still we all wonder what YOU’d like to see on this site.

Pink-Poké-News Week 32

Week 32 has ended and with some amazing news for Pokémon this time! We have absolutely gotten some amazing pokémon news. We updated you earlier about most of it in a breaking news post. Today while I am actually spending a day at the zoo with my friends, we will look at the other news this week as well as briefly discuss the big announcement and the after effects. This is Pinkie Cherryblossom and this is Pink-Poké-News! (Insert standard news-jingle)

New Pokemon toys starting to appear.

The interest for Pokémon peeked this week, showing in a lot of tiny announcements. Pokémon Crystal has shown again on the Nintendo EShop charts and everywhere little snippets of pokémon goodies are being released. Nanoblock has for example released three new building kits. In the form of Charizard Gyarados and Venusaur. Nanoblock is a lego like building set which has released a fair number of Pokémon so far and now as easily as visiting Amazon.com you and I can expand our sets with these new toys. The Pokémon center has released a new adorable Psyduck figure We see psyduck using a confusion attack white stuck on some rocks! It’s cute and it’s tiny and it’s cheap! With being only 8 centimeters high (3.3 inches) and 5 centimeters wide (2.3 inches) this one is easy to display and even easier to buy, only costing $15,- this one is something I will definitely look out for once it comes here overseas. Speaking of Psyduck, there has been an entire line of backpacks shirts and other printables released featuring this adorably bewildered duck. Yet again for now in pokécenters only, but that usually means it will become available for us in Europe as well! Not only psyduck received the love treatment, the waifu pokemon gardevoir also got a new figure at the center. Gardevoir DX is slightly larger than the Psyduck gallery figure (about 11 by 9 centimeters or 5 by 4 inch). The display she attacks is moonblast which is depicted as a bright silver orb while she is surrounded by a silvery blue aura. Though the reporter loves this pokémon the action post of the figure is one of the lesser ones she has seen so far.

Shiny Turtwig to be the new community day shiny

Following their trend, Pokémon Go has unsurprisingly announced shiny Turtwig to be the next shiny to collect. The slightly darker green snapping turtle can be found on september 15th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM stardust earned will be tripled. Though this reporter does like Turtwig as a pokemon, she doesn’t think it’s a particularly good shiny. Her usual hunting friends will be out on a vacation then, thus leaving her to hunt alone. The way Pokémon Go has recently been releasing content, which only seems to be based on filling box space with the same pokémon has caused this reporter many doubts if she should not just delete the entire application. However for now we shall continue to endure and see if anything good can come our way after this horrible team rocket expansion. We wish fans of the game the best in these times of barren and unfair content and hope the games soul can return soon.

Positive youtube buzz for Sword and Shield

The new Pokémon Sword and Shield trailer as we discussed it earlier is getting an enthusiastic response from the youtube community. With all the negativity surrounding the No-National-dex and Dexit debacles, it is nice to see that the pokemon community can still enjoy the announcement of new things for their beloved franchise. While people are calling for a boycott because not every pokémon will be in, most youtubers seem to be moving on beyond the hate. Both the announced Galarian form have been quite positively received by the slew of youtubers ths reporter follows on the topic. Though some find Galarian weezing to silly, and others find Galarian zigzagoon to lazy everyone seems to at least enjoy one of two at least. Linoone new evolution has been receiving the most flack. Obstagoon is being compared to Gene Simmons a lot and rightfully so. This pokémon does seem truly inspired by him, to some people’s annoyance. The reporter herself is actually not all that bothered and thinks the pokémon does look kind of cool lifting it from a standard badger. Even better than that Gene Simmons , in an interview with Newsweek, told he felt flattered by the game paying homage to KISS. HE acknowledged Pokémon has become a part of our culture ever since kids first discovered it. He felt flattered and honoured that pokemon would pay such a tribute to his band. So let’s take this as a win for the pokémon fanbdom shall we?

Pokémon Masters, officially live in Canada and Singapore

Easily this reporters most anticipated mobile launch of the year Pokémon Masters is now officially live in Canada and Singapore. Pre-registration for others countries will become available as time passes by. With the game coming officially life, it will not be long until we will be starting seeing some reviews So far the game seems to be received quite well. The sharpest critique we heard so far is the fact that you aren’t able to use your daily discount summons, (a single trainer recruitment at a reduced cost) with free coins. The game tracks your stacks of cash separately, in game earned cash and paid cash. This seems a bit harsh but can also help greatly for parents to have some oversight in their kids spendings. We will be eagerly awaiting the critical reviews to see if this game will actually be any good. Reader can expect Chibi Pinkie to put in a review of the game as well as soon as it becomes available in her playstore.

Pinkie’s Pokémon nominated for a sunshine blogger award.

In week 32 Pinkie’s Pokémon has gained about 6 new followers, to which this reporter extends her warmest of welcomes and eternal gratitude, putting is well on course to make our target of 50 followers around the middle of November. The website A GIRL & HER ANIME has provided us with a nomination for a sunshine blogger award. We are very happy to receive such a nomination and will tro to place the post in the coming week.
Thank you for this wonderful thing! For this post I am to answer 11 questions, and nominate 11 other bloggers on the medium.
After which I have to ask them 11 different questions. The 11 question am answering for you guys will be :

If you were a Pokémon, what sort of Pokémon would you be?
Do you play video games? If so, what game have you been playing recently?
What’s your favourite colour? Any particular reason why it’s your favourite?
What’s your favourite thing to do during summer?
Ghibli is obviously very popular, but which movie do you think is the most overrated?
If you could travel back in time, when would you travel to and why?
As the new leader of a country, what is the first law you introduce?
Have you been reading anything recently?
Tell us about your favourite film.
Put your music on shuffle. What are the first three songs to play?
If you were to suggest an anime I had to watch, what would you recommend?

Now I am going to bend the rules here a little bit because of the large amount of overlap in invitations, as most of the geeky bloggers follow each other, i’d have a hard time nominating people. So I would like to ask my readers if you would like to receive a nomination and answer my 11 questions. (which will be different and sometimes maybe a bit hard).
Though I feel you all deserve a nomination I would think some of you would rather focus on their own content and some might be really eager to sink their teeth into this. I do have my own picks which I will use but I would also like people to step up and say! Hey I like a nomination. I’d feel sad if I nominated someone who’d rather not do it and overlook someone who really wanted this. After all everyone deserves a chance to shine!

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor sunshine blogger award — *I considered hue shifting all the sunflowers to pink…but I gave up on that effor*t

Are we ready for week 33? Would you like to be nominated for the sunshine blogger award? Do you have a question you would like to see added to those 11 as a form of bonus content Let me know in the comments and if I am not eaten by lions, beaten to a pulp by goraliisas or gored by penguins, I will get back to you! Enjoy the rest of your weekends my little monsters and remember,
I am not weird just very pink!
Until we read again.

Breaking News: Sword and Shield Update! 7th August

This is a special broadcast of the Pink-Poké-News, we advise you all to stay calm!Do not fan-girl.. or boy..until this post is over. These revelations may blow your mind! Do not read this post unsupervised if you are prone to over excitement! At the 7th of August Nintendo revealed a new trailer for Pokémon Sword and Shield.
This is that trailer!

Galarian Forms: Weezing and the Zigzagoon line

This reporter is excited to report that regional forms are back! Galarian forms are a thing, with only two revealed so far there is no doubt there is more. Galarian Weezing will be a Poison Fairy type and will get the levitate ability as well as a ability that has yet to be revealed. It’s design features a large chimney as well as a smog beard or moustache. The chimney is shaped out like a top hat giving it the look of a british , industrial capitalist. Given the galar region is based classic england this design is extremely pleasing and humorous! The chimney itself can grow up to 3 meters or 9 foot .

Even more pleasing is the announcement of a new zigzagoon! Being a very cherished pokémon by this reporter not only did we find out that Zigzagoon and Linoone are getting an galarian form. .. Galarian Linoone can evolve! As one of my favorite normal types it is extremely exciting to see it does indeed keep it’s normal typing but takes on a dark typing as well. The old stages both get access to the abilities Gluttony and Pickup, the new stage, Obstagoon will have Reckless or Guts available to it. Guts allows moves to grow stronger when statussed, while Reckless allows for more damage from recoiling moves. Should Galarian Linoone have Belly Drum in it’s moveset like it’s regular cousin, this pokémon is a potential beast in the competitive metagame. Their design features a black and white like motive to mimic that of a badger.

The Transforming Pikaclone

Each generation we get a so called Pikaclone, a pokémon closely resembling pikachu and more often than not being the electric type unless we count Pikablu. The new pokémon to follow this trend is called Morpeko, the always hungry hamster. Who carries Berry-seeds as its prized possession they count as it snacks!

Having a cute very pika-like appearance that can change when it moves its use Aura Wheel The move allows it to switch type from electric to dark mode by triggering his ability hunger switch. In Full Belly mode Aura Wheel will look like an electric hamster wheel that is launched at it’s opponent. After that workout the creature will get a bad case of the munchies though and will switch into hangry move. The energy in its cheek changes to dark type.Not only does this Pokémon look adorable, it feels like a very unique pikaclone too. With only castform having somewhat similar ability this reporter is curious to see how usable this pokémon will be.

Two more rivals

We already knew we were gonna see multiple rivals in the Galar region. The first rival was to sweet according to some, they wanted to have a mean rival. Though we haven’t seen much of their persona yet, there are two candidates for the mean rival. Bede seems the most likely candidate. Having received his nomination from chairman Rose, the head honcho of the galar region he seems to have that arrogant posture, and elitist background hop so sorely needed. Hop is the brother of the champion Leon and thus will most likely follow a “out of his brothers shadow ‘ arc and seems closer akin to trainers like Hau and Trace where many fans want a new Gary or Silver. Bede’s poses and looks do fit the brief so hopefully we will have our Gary here.

The second rival we see is Marnie. I absolutely love her, adore her, this design makes me a huge fan! Turns out I am not the only one! Marnie is quite the popular girl having her own fanbase. She is revealed to have a Morpeko and plans to win the Galar Championship for her own goals. What those are remains to be seen. She is described as calm and calculating who is very dedicated to achieving results! Her leather jacket with pink dress make her the perfect mix of cute and though and she is already the rival i respect most, no matter how she may turn out! Also her shoes are absolutely adorable! This character I wanna cosplay real bad.

Hooligans

The “evil” team was also revealed and since we are in Galar and thus england what better way to express evil brits as trough hooligans. It remains to be scene if these are actually evil , this reporter suspects not, but they do support Marnie and want her to win, even if they have to play unfair tactics to prevent other trainers from progressing. All in all, this makes me lead to believe that we might not see a traditional elite four but a tournament much closer to the ones depicted in the anime. Of course this might change over time. Back to team yell as they are called. Donned in Marnie’s colours their goal is just to make Marnie champion. They will occupy a hotel lobby, be loud and obnoxious and hinder her opponents. Just like real hooligans. Whenever Marnie battles these crazy guys show up in the background to support her. If Marnie actual cares for her supporters or even leads them as a team remains to be seen. This reporter predicts she simply does not care, she wants to win and if someone is weak enough to be stopped by her fans they aren’t worth facing anway. That or a sort like mentality. She also predicts that the true evil will come in the form of Chairman Rose or Oleana where they wish to abuse the power of Dynamaxing for evil things ,collecting it from the stadiums and such. Anyway the hooligans will make a welcome addition to the game as the concept is quite unique rather than yet another megalomaniac we have seen so many times before.

Poké jobs

Lacking from the international trailer, but featuring in the japanese trailer, are Pokémon Jobs. This new feature is most likely go replace the leveling feature of a daycare center, allowing that to become more of a breeding center (hopefully) Poké Jobs based on their core description are also gonna help with EV training. Pokémon in the Galar region are described to oftenly work, as in labour, with their partners. This means you can basically send your Skitty to work in a factory or let Machoke help out at the docs. These jobs will feature a mobile-game like deployment system. You can send any pokémon from your box to work and when they come back you can gain items but more importantly experience to your pokémon! Depending on your Pokémon’s typing it will qualify for certain jobs, that can make both you and your pokémon better!. Best thing is that the website also briefly mentions that it helps increase your pokémon’s base stats. So this might be the easiest EV training we have ever gotten. However.. this reporter does have some moral issues to send her freshly hatched pokémon straight into a factory.

This special news report was made possible by Nintendo, Game Freak and the offcial Pokémon Company.
