My #1 has to be Fortree City in Hoenn — just imagine living among the trees and being surrounded by green. Mossdeep City, also in Hoenn, would be another great city in the region that I'd like to live in. #2 Mossui Town in Kitakami — I hope this is what heaven looks like. This is the rural Japanese vibes that I love in the real world. #3 would probably be Ecruteak City in the Johto region. Very cool vibes, great autumn foliage. Other cities or towns I'd like to live in, mostly for aesthetic reasons or abundance of nature: Ballonlea, Galar Malie City, Alola Laverre City, Kalos Eterna City, Sinnoh Floaroma Town, Sinnoh I feel like I need to include a city from my favorite region, Unova, but none of them are super exciting to me. Opelucid City would probably be where I'd choose to live there; wouldn't care if it was the futuristic version or past version, both have their charm.

Got lucky this morning — caught a hundo Bellsprout (after purification) from a Rocket balloon and hatched a Shiny Torchic from the daily Egg!

@Zachery I hope Pocket avoids the monetization and anti-player gameplay pitfalls!! @Sakuramei I'm going to have to read this more thoroughly tomorrow, love that you shared so much about these titles!! Very sorry to hear about the lost Magikarp Jump data though :(

Pokémon used to be a strictly handheld and console affair, but in its three decades mobile games have become a bigger part of the franchise. In part to celebrate Pokémon GO's 10 year anniversary, we're asking fans this week which iOS and Android titles they have enjoyed playing — regardless of whether the game is still available to download! Personally, I log into the current active games regularly: GO, Masters EX, Cafe and Sleep. On a slightly less regular basis I'll also jump into UNITE and TCG Pocket. I also have fond memories of the adorable Magikarp Jump that I wish they expanded and kept providing updates for. I kind of wish they'd bring Pokémon Duel back (you can see the Eevee and Treecko figures in the image above) but maybe in a different form. I didn't find the gameplay overly engaging, but I did like the little 3D figure designs. Want to refresh your memory about Pokémon's mobile titles? You can check out this page on Bulbapedia! Some never even got English releases. Curious to hear your thoughts!

I want to add that I actually wouldn't mind the current difficulty so much if they started off with more condensed tutorials. Balance things between showing new or young players the basics while not taking 2-3 hours to get into the actual game.
-
This week I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on the difficulty level of Pokémon games! Opinions on both current and historical difficulty levels are welcome. Overall, I'd personally like to see the main series get a difficulty selection at the start of the game or accessible from anywhere. Usually it feels like any challenging content is locked to specific post-game areas, if it exists, or you have to turn to online competitions. That being said, obviously the series has wide appeal and needs to be accessible to young fans. Pokémon has tried a convoluted key system in Black 2 and White 2 which allowed for Easy and Challenge modes, but it was too much of a pain to use for new games for most players. Sound off below! Do you like things as they are or would you prefer more of a challenge or grind?
-
The Pokémon encountered early on in the main series are some of the most iconic because they're encountered so often. And even though they may be an initial member of your team, they are often replaced because they lack the strength of Pokémon later on. Do you have a favorite? Do you ever keep one of these Pokémon or their evolutions in your team throughout an entire playthrough? Share your thoughts! As expected of me, Sewaddle and its evolutions can be found in most of my teams in games that it is available. I also really enjoyed some of the designs introduced in Gen X, including Nymble, Tarountula and Lechonk! But I also love almost all early route Bug-type Pokémon :)
-
Any predictions or hopes as to what this Nintendo Direct contains? Personally, my biggest hope is a Pokémon Pokopia DLC reveal, but I would also like to see some news from franchises like Pikmin and Animal Crossing. It's supposed to be 50 minutes, so there's a lot of room for news tomorrow!
-
Besides Pokémon, my other gaming passion is MMOs and I'm very excited for the newly-revealed Guild Wars 3! It's a little bittersweet because the plant race Sylvari will likely not be in the game as they are now, since they historically appeared only 25 years before Guild Wars 2 takes place and Guild Wars 3 will actually take place 1000 years in the past. The GW3 announcement inspired me to jump back into GW2 last night and make a new Mesmer Sylvari though: Curious if anyone else plays GW2 currently or is excited for GW3!

I'll have to listen to that Pokémon LoFi :o Been listening to Ariana Grande's new song lately

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.
