    Volcorona is another giant moth that is a bit stronger on its own than venomoth. It also breathes fire which I think goes well with a movie monster theme.

    Venomoth can do quiver dance /baton pass stuff though which can setup some sweeps.

    Not using Volcarona as Mothra is some kind of sin, I am pretty sure. Use Venomoth if you want, though.

    "MechaGodzilla" is more than twelve characters, but "Kiryu" isn't.

    Yeah, i was thinking it would be too long, so i figure "Mecha" or maybe "M.Godzilla" or "MechGodzilla" might work.

    Also, apparently Gamera and godzilla have never actually shared a screen... what a crime. But there is some other creature i know that's similar that godzilla fights. I think it's a more spiney shelled turtle type thing that something like a Sandslash might fit the bill well for.

    I'm thinking Garchomp might be the best Gigan, even though he isn't very mechanical... And It seems there are a couple creatures that make at least some appearance that might fit well for something like a Tentacool/Cruel, and Heracross.

    Yanmega might be a good Megaguirus.

    Yeah, that's the one that Sandslash might fit well. Unless there's another spinney turtle I don't know about. I know there's that Turtle fossil pokemon, Tirtouga or something? But I'm not sure that one fits well enough, also i dont recall how "turtle-like" Anguirus actually was.

    Anguirus is some kind of ankylosaur, I think. Rolls into a ball, though.

    So i've made a google doc with a table with the monsters name, a picture of said monster, and which pokes i feel they look best as... I have to say, after looking at more picture of Battra, i think Volcarona fits Battra much better than mothra. So Venomoth will probably stay mothra for now. But they could really go either way.

    Any of the monsters i have more than 1 poke representing i'd love some opinions on who would fit better.

    Also trying to avoid Legendaries as best I can... I think a couple of those would fit pretty well in a couple spots, but I kind of hate to use them for some reason.

    If you're not interested in legendaries, the only thing I see that looks even close to Orga is Weavile. Totally wrong body shape, but has the same flat head/long creepy finger combo. Noivern could represent Destroyah if you really wanted something with wings. Also no Scyther for Gigan?

    I think you've gotta go with Excadrill for Megalon and Mothim for Mothra though.

    I'd take any suggestions for Legendary ones for sure, but overall, I probably just wouldn't use them at all. Just a lot harder to get what I'd need if legendaries were included.

    I guess Zoroark might be the best for Orga...

    Also, Syther was actually my first thought for Gigan, but I had sense forgotten. I've noticed a lot of bug and dragon typing on this team though. Also, I'd love a gym with this kind of theme in a game, and when you defeat it, you could get the Kaiju Badge...

    Are there any good pre-order deals for the game?

    I was at the store today and saw that Target is giving out $5 giftcards if you pre-order and purchase the game.

    Anguirus is as much an ankylosaur as Godzilla is a theropod: they have superficial resemblances, but differ from the real deal in major ways.

    Anguirus in particular is like if you gave an ankylosaur a crocodilian head, long hindlegs and a flexible armadillo-like shell.

    Tyranitar as Godzilla bugs me a bit in that the Rock/Dark typing feels off. I'd almost recommend Feraligatr over it, as concept art for Godzilla 2000 features several versions of Godzilla with similar postures (not to mention the spines).

    Also, Nidoking would make a great Baragon. In fact, I'm fairly sure the Nido- families were primarily inspired by Baragon.

    Baragon seems to have been missing from the list of Godzilla monsters I was using for reference. Has been added with Nidoking/queen though.

    Also added Bisharp as Jet Jaguar! because why not?

    amazon prime gets 20% off which drops it from 40 to 32 and no tax for most states. best buy might have something at some point maybe.

    Since I finished with X & Y episodes (for now until more come out, I don't wanna watch the sub :P) I started watching the original episodes again. Wow was the show way different back then. Literally everyone was a complete jerk, especially Ash, Pikachu was a total coward, and there are lots of weird things like discussion of Pokemon levels or calling Rice Balls "donuts" (lolz nice save 4kids) or a Gastly that can talk and seems to be insanely powerful. Also Ash and Pikachu literally die at one point. Whole thing is weird.

    I hit the same point, where I ran out of English episodes of the anime, so I went back to an older series. However, I skipped to the Advance series, since I just completed Omega Ruby and started a new game in Alpha Sapphire.

    Honestly, my only real complaint about the show is how much time is wasted on Jesse and James. They need to just cut those characters out. I realize that they're there for hijinx and comedic relief, and they're a part of the history of the show. But they really need to go.

    The episodes in the X/Y series where Jesse and James are absent are the best episodes in the series.

    Is there any information on how the munchlax and snorium z are going to be distributed? I'll be pre-ordering from amazon for sure since ill get a discount.

    Also any good breeding guides out there? Since I can get to mirage places now ive been ditto hunting a bit, trying to get one of each nature. I remember in gen 4 ever stones would pass nature down, but I know they've done some stuff to make IV breeding a bit easier now right?

    It's been a while, but didn't all copies of one of the previous games come with a distribution code in the packaging for Kaldeo? And before that maybe a Victini code in packaging?

    I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't just a code in the box with an expiration date 2-3 months out.

    Does anyone have a good ditto with good IVs they could trade me?

    I'm trying to get through delta episode to get to battle resort soon.

    Also looking at a few guides last night, i know destiny knot transfers up to 5 IVs down, but does it transfer the specific IVs? or just 5 values to random others?

    And is a friend code list somewhere for people? haven't checked the op yet for one.

    Delta episode is super easy, you'll beat it in no time; Also, you can capture Rayquaza with a quickball and the Capture O-Power, no need to wear him down or put him to sleep.

    And you can add me; my FC is below. Post yours too!

    also what do you mean by capture o-power?

    Nah, you don't even need to have Kyogre or Groudon at all to catch Rayquaza.

    And there's this thing in Gen VI called O-Powers, you can activate them on the PSS screen, the yellow online part of the Dexnav.

    It's basically a temporary bonus to several things, including capturing chance. I just replayed OR, and got Rayquaza last week with a quick-ball and level one capture O-Power.

    I've never even heard of the O-Powers. Made it all the way through Omega Ruby without them tho, so they're definitely more of a convenience than a mandatory feature. I never had any trouble catching legendaries. In fact, I would say OR has the easiest legendary capture rate of any Pokemon game I've played.

    You can. I've saved all of my codes since the giveaways started this year, in both Y and Alpha Sapphire and this weekend soft-reseted my way to a dozen OP legendaries I'll never use. Actually had a good spot of luck with my shiny xerneas and got ideal nature and stats on the first whack.
    I still have to get through Alpha Sapphire, so I'll be repeating the process one of these days, minus the ones I didn't get duplicate codes for.
