Random Pokemon thoughts

Post your random thoughts here, they can be as random as possible or make total sense, I’ve just been noticing a lot of random thoughts in threads like the What are your unpopular opinions in pokemon? thread where it isn’t really something unpopular and is just random

I’ll start with one I’ve been questioning for a while: Does Pokemon have wars? What would they look like?

Here is my random Pokemon thought :pikathink:

The Japanese Neo era tcg set names are;

  • Gold, Silver, to a New World…
  • Crossing the Ruins…
  • Awakening Legends
  • Darkness, and to Light…

Why doesn’t Awakening Legends not also have a “…” after the set name?!
What an absolute catastrophe!

The itemfinder in the games are used to find items, so why doesnt it go off inside of shops, or when an item from my pokemon is being held. How does it know the item isnt owned by me yet.

I get how some pokemon like pikachu and eevee are small and cute enough to make good pets for a child, but I wouldnt want my child anywhere near some others! Take Syther for instance…its a huge bug with knives for arms! “No little boy you can’t play with the Syther! Thats how someone looses an eye!”

Do you not get enough random thoughts from the question of the day?

Who is doing the scientific reporting for the pokedex? Is it actually accurate or do they wing it and phone it in hoping that its good enough?

“There was a story that a mountain was around here but now theres lots of larvitars… they mustve eaten it!”

Hmmm, that flame was pretty hot but that wont get me in any of the scientific journals, maybe i should spice it up… “Its’ flame can melt crystals”

This pokemon can solve the same amount of things as 45 people… “It must have an IQ over 5000!”

We can only get one qotd per day, they are great but one per day can’t sum up all the random thoughts that everyone has, the qotd are really fun though

If starter pokemon are for new pokemon trainers to start with, why do hardly any other trainers ever have them?

How does the main-series game economy work? Loosely the poke dollar is allegedly based on the yen. if that’s true, it’s about $1.50 per pokeball. full restores would be about $26. but healthcare is seemingly free?

I think its the player

I know errors on Bulbapedia are common I just don’t know if I’m over looking something.

The Darkness Energy, Metal Energy and Rainbow Energy in the Japanese Pokemon Card★VS set are holo. Is there a reason why they aren’t listed as a holo on the set list here? Every booster pack contained one Holofoil Special Energy so they are in the set and not promos.

The holo energies aren’t numbered and don’t feature a rarity symbol, would that be why they are listed as such?

If someone was to follow this list they might miss these 3 holos from the set if they didn’t know that they existed.

Just another random thought I had :pikathink:

I have just now decided that Victreebel should learn Close Combat.

I never would have known about those errors, if you hadn’t wrote that!

While looking at textures on a couple of my cards I noticed this on lillies Clefairy ex. Pretty cool the amount of detail on this, there might be a couple more flowers at the bottom but it’s kind hard to see them

They do provide the clarification in the information tab of the set. The same is done for the McDonald’s e-minimum set where it is possible to also get holo variations of the energy card. The set list itself does not mention it but the description / information tab of the set does clarify this details.

Not sure if it is just an oversight or they did not bother to change the default for energies being represented in the set lists.

Cheers!

Oh that’s a good point, thanks for pointing that out you’re correct about the McDonald’s e Minimum Pack set being similar! I just find it slightly odd they don’t list them separately in the set list since they are different cards. Although, I don’t edit things as I don’t know generally how things should be formatted. Maybe I’m part of the problem by not changing it!
