A pokemon.
Glaceon(I think)
Evee's Ice type evolution.
There are also a Fire Type, Water Type, Electric Type, Psychic Type, Dark/Evil(depending on translation), Grass, and most recently Fairy.
Personally though, I'm still waiting for a Ghost Type Evelution.(Level up with a Happiness of Zero and a held Sharp Claw?)I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Spoiler: Spoilers for X and YTeam Flare Plan is to literally kill every human or pokemon that isn't a member of team flare.
Back with Black2 and White2, Ghetis tried to murder the plaer by having Kyurem attack him/her directly, outside of battle.
Even Back in Red and Blue, there is the implication in when you Blue in the Pokemon Tower that you may have accidentally killed his Raticate during your last battle.(Pokemon Tower is a cemetery for Pokemon. you blue standing in front of a Grave. he's missing his Raticate. Do the Math.)
And that's not counting the presence of actual Ghosts.
Of course Pokemon Is DARK
(of course, no where near as dark as Digimon gets. I don't see any of Ash's traveling companions having to be talked out of suicide)Last edited by Rater202; 2013-12-08 at 10:18 AM.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Well that's what the artist says and so help me... nothing actually links it to ponies.
So opens a lot of possibility really. Could be an "older" looking Delirium to me, just needs some fish.
Pfft well then their either silly or not liking "looking at themselves" from the outside.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
I got the impression that there were several posters in this thread who didn't like it, certainly more than I usually see. Maybe my impression was wrong?
But off-site too I seem to detect a slightly less enthusiastic reaction than usual, though I don't really follow much of the reaction or discussion elsewhere.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Yamask is the spirit of a dead human and it's mask is it's face from life. And it remembers it's former life. Sometimes it looks at it's mask and cries.
Cofagrigus, it's evolved form, swallows people and turns them into mummies.
Gengar steals the life from people lost in the mountains.
Misdreavus actually feeds on fear.
Cubone wears the skull of it's dead mother1.
If you look into Dusclops' body to see it's spectral fire, it steals your soul.
Shuppet feeds off malice and vengeance.
It's evolved form Banette, hunts down the child that abandoned the plush doll that it came from.
The first Froslass is said to have come from a woman lost in the mountains (with the implication she froze to death).
And that's just the ghost types (and one ground type).
So, yes.
Yes. It is.
1I have NO idea how that works with breeding...Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2013-12-08 at 10:38 AM.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
though, I've never seen a Pokemon work where a Main Character has to be talked out of Suicide, nor a Pokemon turning into a Giant Undead Dragon with a Nuke on it's back because the Trainer was Getting Impatient for it to evolve.
Edit, as for Cubone, I think it's supposed to be either a legend explaining why Cubone is such a Cry Babby, or Gameplay and Story Segregation.
Or, you know, it could be that, in the games, the Pokedex's are being written by unsupervised 10 year olds?Last edited by Rater202; 2013-12-08 at 10:45 AM.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Finished watching Ponies Anthology 3
SpoilerIt was alright. For as long as it is, I felt it had more "Hit-or-miss" than the previous ones. My favorites were a lot of the well drawn/animated original shorts, like the opening Paper Mario sequence, the 80's Cheerilee, Maretroid, etc. Most of the "Thanks MA Larson" shorts were pretty pointless. I am happy to see that the 3D rigs with the Source engine have gotten much more articulate now (I absolutely adored Scootaloo as Baby Herman in the scene from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. "Excuse me toots!").
I would love to have just that scene.
Overall, I suppose I'll give it a C grade. Not bad. I think the biggest flaw is that there was no 'big finish' final scene. Like how Pony Anthology 2 did 2001: A Space Odyssey (wonderfully animated as well).
It's good art at least.
I guess when you have such a unique mane like Dash, anything that's close to it is going to get connected to her in some way.
I mentioned here that it was good, but the weakest of the four episodes so far.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Aside from Team (Name)'s plans, the creators try to make Pokemon as friendly as possible in the anime, but the Pokedex entries may work against that. Even though many of them can be ignored because they don't make sense.
Out-of-game, it's because the Dex entry was written before breeding Pokemon in the games was possible.

Here is the Pokedex entry for Hypno a Psychic type

So this is a child abducting Pokemon. It gets worse. This is an official Pokémon T-Shirt:

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Alright, so I've been moving parent stuff into a storage unit for 2 days; now I have a cold. Now's a good time to ramble about the episode
SpoilerFluttershy, I'm pretty sure you're 'adopting' your animal children that have parent that should be teaching this. You only get away with it for Angel because he's sapient. Also you're a bad parent with him so...
Something seems wrong with the Dash-voice in the intro
-snip because this is going in the 'what I think' -
Best Pinkie Pie is random joke of the season so far
TWILIGHT STILL HAS GIRAFFE NECK
Look at that cunning disguise! For totally not Daring Do
Is it secret? Is it safe?
I can't stop laughing at Twineck.
Pony facial hair, how does it work? (bucking miracles). What does !? as a cutie mark even mean. Is he often confused by sudden events?
Does anyone else find it odd that Daring Do is the same Dash recolor that was only in Dash's imagination?
What was temporarily hers in now his.
My desire to believe in the apple-mafia made me think his name was "applearon"
They really REALLY need a second, more intimidating prance animation.
Daring do gets her extremities broken... like all the time?
Hey, look who finally remembered her teleportation spell
Spoiler
Did you know this episode is exactly what Song of Ice and Fire fans are like.
This is pretty much the weakest of the season thus far. It's just a giant continuity callback that seems to show that 'let someone else do it while I stand around' is evolutionarily engrained in pony behavior.
Also, does the abused mailpony have a name yet?Ask me about our low price vacation plans in the Elemental Plane of Puppies and PieSpoiler

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
SpoilerCanonically, the ponies wake up the birds/bring them back from where they migrated and build nests for them on Winter Wrap-Up day. Lazy birds. Being taught by a pegasus to fly isn't such a stretch. Or those young birds are orphans.
I'm disappointed it wasn't instead a ‽. I'd assume he causes other ponies to mentally go "!?" by causing panic.
Of course. She's so used to it that it's how she's totally better in the next scene.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
SpoilerWhich is a geographical writing failure, anyway, real Tenochtitlan isn't a valley, it's an island. What is even more jarring is how Mexico is apparently a day's worth of walking from Ponyville. Looks like Equestria is even more tiny than even the most pessimistic map readings suggested
So, looks like it's not Llamas or something in America, it's all ponies? Pity, why have Zebras then? That was very disappointing.
SpoilerI think that's supposed to be old censor mark in comics, where such sign was used to obscure punches hitting, no?
So, now real mafia is canon, complete with troublemaker signs, and no one says a word?Come one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Ponythread.
Give us a snowball fight, we give you a Pokemon discussion.
S4 New Ep
SpoilerI really wish those guys got more screen time. They were pretty interestingly designed thugs. The guy on the right with the shades reminds me of a soft blend between Hoity Toity and Wolfwood.
S4 Daring Do
SpoilerSince Daring was on the cover of the book, I'd guess that Dash's imagination simply went with that as the basic mental image instead of projecting herself.
Hope you feel better from that cold.
If you like hugs, consider yourself *hug'd*
While I felt the 2001 ending wasn't too long, I pretty much agree with the rest of your assessment. There were a lot of weird ones that I didn't get. Maybe they're either injokes or obscure memes?
S4 Ep 4
SpoilerI guess Zebras are much farther out or in another direction... I dunno. Seems like Zecora is doomed to be the only one in the show. Yeah, mafias are real now... wonder if we'll see pin-stripe suits next.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Spoiler: s4e4, mixed thoughtsSo, I've seen the episode. The jokes were mostly fun, the Indiana Jones references were fantastic. It was nice to see RD fangasming again, but I think it went on for too long. Also, the Harry Potter references kind of came out of left field. The journal entry was really good.
It was overall good, but not great. I would have loved to see more done with the rescue scene, Dash being her usual brash and quick-to-take-action-self and a better dynamic between RD and Daring that made up the bulk of the show.The first chapter of The Book of Svarog

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Spoiler: Reply on the episode.There's no livestock in Aztec era either. Maybe we can stay with fridge horror that some ponies split from the migration and set up their own civilization, like Galatian aka Celts in Anatolia.
edit: Either it's fantasy counterpart culture without geographical factor. I mean there are lots of Mayan+Inca+Aztec fantasy stories.Last edited by t209; 2013-12-08 at 07:36 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Spoiler: Everything you need to know about Pokemon1. It is about children traveling the country unsupervised catching naturally occurring living weapons, and battling said living weapons.
2.The world economy is based on what comes down to Super Powered Dog Fights
3.you are told that said monsters are your best friends, but the meta-game doesn't hold up to this claim. The Anime is better, but it still has the mane protagonist more or less abandon all but one or two of his "Best Friends" every couple of seasons.
4. The tag line is "Gotta Catch'em All", but it is impossible to catch them all. some require you to go to special events, some can only be found from in game trades, and others are exclusive to one version of the game, requiring you to either by two handhelds, or to trade with an other player. And trading for them is not "Catching them all". and the whole "trading your best friends" thing
5. The most recent pair of games introduced a mechanic by which certain Pokemon can temporarily assume a more powerful form this mechanic works via a trinket used by the Trainer that channels the bonds of love and friendship between the Mon and trainer into power, thus giving it the strength to assume said form(Which incidentally means that after about a decade and a half of Accusations, Pokemon Ripped off Digimon oh god the Irony)
6. The show became Crap about half way through Hoen, though I've heard that it's gotten better recently. The Games are still really fun though despite the flaws I mentioned aboveI also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.
