This week we're not asking your favorite console, nor the console with the best Pokémon games, but instead which one you enjoy playing Pokémon games on the most. This may be because of form factor, features, portability or nostalgia — let us know what you like playing games on and why! Personally, I think the 3DS is probably my favorite (specifically 3DS XL), because of the size and portability hitting a great sweet spot. I prefer the slide pad to the buttons of the DS. Second might be the Game Boy Advance SP! Classic form factor that was the perfect size for long Pokémon gaming sessions. Conversely, the Switch and Switch 2 feel too delicate in handheld mode and, combined with their cost, don't feel as fun to carry around because there's an element of worry about their safety.

When making the featured image, I kind of included Pokémon that I thought represented archetypes of coworkers that can be hard to deal with: Tyrantrum, the co-worker who flips out about little things Psyduck, the co-worker who never seems to know what's going on Whismur, the co-worker who will never speak up and leaves everything to others Slaking, the co-worker who slacks off constantly Malamar, the co-worker (or worse, manager!) who tries to control and micromanage everything If we're thinking about actual Pokémon species who would be annoying to be next to physically, any of them that are loud, smelly or rambunctious 😅

You know, I had somehow forgotten Politoed and Bellossom, love those two as well.

Some Pokémon get new evolutions — or region-specific evolutions — in later Generations. Scarlet and Violet were the latest games to introduce new evolutions for older Pokémon and included Annihliape, Kingambit, Farigiraf and Dudunsparce. Generation IV also added quite a few new evolutions. Do you have any favorites that added on to the theme of the original Pokémon or took it in a cool new direction? Personally, I really enjoy Dudunsparce, Gliscor, Magmortar and... Leafeon!

I'm a huge Shaymin fan too!! Specifically it's Land Forme :)

That was pretty fun!!

Pokémon Pokopia was an amazing way to showcase Ditto and made the classic Pokémon even more endearing than it already was. But that also made me wonder what other Pokémon players would like to see featured as the primary Pokémon or protagonist. Chatot or Meloetta leading a rhythm game? A platformer featuring Lucario? Pecharunt controlling the world? A Let's Go, Togepi title? Shamelessly, I would like to see Let's Go, Togepi! as long as the catching mechanic is better than LGPE. I also think Sewaddle could make for a fun 2D platformer protagonist with movement primarily done through String Shot. I'm curious what you all think! Let us know what kind of game you think your favorite Pokémon could star in or share a killer game idea you think a Pokémon would be tailor made for.

We're all here because of our love of Digimon, right?! So share your favorite Digimon below! Personally, I actually have quite a few: Tentomon Wormmon Angemon and its main digivolutions Lilymon Many of the plant and bug Digimon

I kinda revealed my pickups — had to get the Lil Friends Togepi and Jumpluff keychains!! They are so cute. If I had unlimited merch money I would have picked up Lumineon from the Sparkly Friends lines, looks gorgeous and I'm glad it got some love.

Hope that this game is pretty F2P friendly. Not hyped about the Battle Passes. I guess they may technically be less predatory than gacha systems since you know the rewards and can earn them without chance but they just require too much time dedication usually.

Also been loving this!! Just found this music project last night and I'm kind of obsessed with the sound, aesthetic, everything lol

Oooh, that's a fun team! I like to do that too when replaying games or playing the other version — use Pokémon I haven't used (much) before.

Welcome! I think we're going to have to delay our first Z-A tourney by a few weeks since everyone seems to be having so much fun in Pokopia haha. But I really enjoy the real-time chaos, so I'm looking forward to seeing if we can wrangle in a fair number of participants to compete

It's hard to believe that one year ago we were re-opening our forums that had been closed for almost 10 years and had roots stretching back to 2006. I'll be honest — I didn't know if anyone would be willing to join us. We're in a new era that doesn't often use traditional, independent forums and asking people to register for another site and participate outside of social media does not always sound appealing. But it's with deep gratitude to our members that I mark the forum's first anniversary back. Thank you for all the discussions and your presence. Together, in just the first year, we've been able to: Reach 130 members Amass almost 2000 posts across 450 topics Hold multiple events, including Pokémon TCG Pocket Tournaments and a Shiny Hunt Share thoughts over many Questions of the Week Very special thanks to @Zachery , @Teo and @moving for their involvement setting up tournaments and helping with backend work. 🥳 So how are we celebrating? With some good old-fashioned Pokémon battles! But I guess they're not old fashioned at all; we're having a Pokémon Legends: Z-A Battle Tournament! Make sure to join so that we can match you with your fellow competitors. No cash prize this time around, just some sizable forum bragging rights! Thank you everyone, truly 🙇 Our members are what make Mount Moon so special. Here's to more discussions, more events and more fun in the future.
