It is in fact kept in the dub, Zeno Robinson (Goh's English VA) is voicing the HZ Pokedex as well. Whether intentional or not though, it's funny as hell and is at the very least an amusing coincidence, even moreso that the dub insisted on following through with the gag as well.

On the topic of Poison's weakness to Psychic, I kinda have to wonder if it was a gameplay/counterpart thing more than anything, rather than anything that was designed to make sense flavor-wise. Psychic was intentionally designed from the get-go to be a counterpart type to Fighting, and back in...

You know, this is actually true. The Elite Four levels of both, at least in DP, are also similar and progress in the same way with each Elite Four being two levels higher and then the Champion is three levels higher. The only difference is DP Sinnoh's E4+Cynthia levels of their aces at least...

Kanto was always based on the actual Kanto Plain in Japan, since that's the most extensive lowland in the Japan islands and also where most of contemporary urban Japan is, including its capital city Tokyo. Game Freak deliberately chose their home base as the region to base the original Pokemon...

This shot of the new opening for Horizons gives me life. The sheer girl power radiating from it is beautiful, five of them together making for a fantastic group, all girls. Girl power from Pokemon, and I fucking love it. Screw Ash Ketchum, it's girl power time! The girlboss-to-be Liko and her...

The third OP song for Horizons, for its upcoming third chapter Terastal Debut. This one is such a bop, I love how these OP songs just keep getting better and better.

One thing I've always noticed is Gen 6/Kalos utterly lacking any sub-legendary Pokemon. Most generations always introduce a mostly native minor legendary trio or quartet, such as the birds, the beasts, Regis, the lake guardians, Swords of Justice, Forces of Nature, Tapus, Urshifu, Ogerpon, the...

This sums up my thoughts, and I agree with this. In SwSh and SV especially, I like that they send out their ace that uses Dynamax/Terastal last especially because environmentally, the game has a special final showdown theme for the Gym Leader in both cases with crowds cheering. I like to think...

You "expect"? I'll tell you this much, there's been quite the uproar about Bulbapedia's decision to rename the Starter Pokemon page to "first partner Pokemon" for the past week or so in all sorts of places. And I can totally understand it, as personally speaking, I'd never call them that ever...

Yeah I definitely agree because it gives off the wrong impression about which two of those three are supposed to be counterparts. "Dawn Stone" and "Dusk Stone" sound like counterparts but they're not actually counterparts or parallels to each other. When you look at the way they're implemented...

I really like how the Savanna Biome in the Blueberry Terarium has its own Pride Rock in it, complete with a static male Pyroar standing atop of it watching over the land. If you get it, you get it.

Gen 1 was actually for the most part very good about making single stage Pokemon stand out. Most of them actually stood out just as much as three-stage lines because they were unique for not being part of an evolutionary line, and they often made up for it by being much rarer, in many cases only...

Ah yes, Serena talk. I really like Serena as I was super into the XY anime back in my high school days in the mid 2010s, and Serena has been one of my favorite characters for a long time. My hot take is that both the aggressive AmourShippers and the Serena detractors online grossly overstate...

Today, we celebrate a great milestone in Liko's story. What's that, you might ask? *drumroll* LIKO'S SPRIGATITO HAS EVOLVED INTO FLORAGATO! WE MOVE! From a cute little cat to a cool and badass yo-yo cat, truly a symbol of Liko's rising power as she continues to grow into a strong Trainer...

Out of curiosity, where is this stated? The only thing close to implying an official pronunciation thus far is the Japanese website transliterating the text to "zetto-ei", but Z in Japan is pronounced "Zetto", seeing as how Z-Moves in Japan are called "Zetto-Waza". The "Zetto" is closer to the...
