Why do I get the feeling that anime Gym Leaders actually do have puzzles traps and disciples in their games just like in the games, but disassemble all of it when they hear Ash is coming out of pity?

Blain didn’t disassemble his traps when ash came and misty had to solve his riddle.

And to be fair, Ash never gets to quite a few of the gyms, he finds the leaders outside or someother bizarre circumstance happens (usually caused by team rocket)

Oh, he had to do shit to face Erica too.

And he’s never had troubles challenging a gym since, at least no trouble after getting there, not counting all the trouble he has with the actual battles.  It makes me think that after Blaine there was some sort of Gym Leader meeting where they just agreed to let him challenge the leader directly upon reaching the gym, because they knew he wouldn’t be able to clear a gym on his own and didn’t want to deal with him longer than absolutely necessary.

One of the most confounding things about X and Y is the Pikachu spawning in Santalune Forest.  It’s supposed to have a 6% encounter rate, but as soon as you find one a billion more spawn.  I swear, my female Pika’s in heat after finding 4 male Pikachu in a row

Feeling supremely unmotivated of late, and I’ll be out of town most of next week, so just be aware that there could be a hiatus until the start of August for blogs and commissions.

Well, have the noncanon Papi update sketched out and motivation has fled.  Might come back later tonight, if not I’ll finish it tomorrow.

Random wish for Sun/Moon:

Return of the game corner in a carnival/Chuck E Cheeses form.  Play various minigames, maybe some even involving the 3DS’s gyroscope or cameras, to earn tickets that can be exchanged for rarer items like stones or evolution hold items.

Please GameFreak!  Give me Rattata Ron’s!

I don’t think the 3DS can support it. You need a wireless connection to the servers, and GPS.

That’s definitely the crux of it.  I’m fairly certain the 3DS has some semblance of GPS natively, and if not it’s not an obscene update to add it in.  The wireless connection is the biggest hurdle, but again I could see Nintendo or other companies selling mobile hotspots for that exact purpose.

but isn’t pokemon go specifically for mobile phones like the android and ios? although it’d be cool to see pokemon go on a nintendo, i don’t think it would make sense or if the 3ds is really capable of that power. plus it might ether overshadow or be overshadowed by pokemon sun and moon (a main series title) if pkmn go were to be on the 3ds

It actually wouldn’t be the first time that such a game was on a handheld console, and on mobile phones, just look at Invizimals from Sony, as they desperately want you to.  Nintendo has put out some other mobile titles before and there’s often an equivalent put out on the 3DS, though perhaps missing some more mobile-centric aspects.  As for the 3DS being capable of it, I don’t doubt it.  There was a Pokemon game that came out around the midpoint of the 5th gen that let you catch Pokemon through AR interaction much like Pokemon Go, and that was on the DSi.

The biggest concern would be it overshadowing or being overshadowed by Sun/Moon, but Nintendo’s already said that you would be able to transfer Pokemon from Red/Blue/Yellow to Sun/Moon through Pokemon bank, and I could easily see Pokemon Go implementing a similar system if it did get some form of release on 3DS.
