All This Hoopla About Hoopa

I don't yet know if I'm going to have much of a battling use for him, but I do love the fact that there's finally a Psychic-Ghost to have around. Two of my favorite types that, despite their similarity as a supernatural type (as opposed to rock and water, for instance), haven't appeared combined yet. As much as I love that combination, I'm still waiting for Poison-Psychic and Poison-Steel combinations.

Something I don't get is the split learning of moves. At certain levels, he learns move A or move B depending on his forme. When I get my hands on a Hoopa, I'll need to figure out ahead of time what forme I want him to be in at those times.

 

I actually already had two Hoopa; one I hacked in so I could see it's Pokédex entry (because I'm a huge nerd) and then released because cheating is wrong, and one I got over Wonder Trade and traded the other day for a 6IV shiny Charizard. Needless to say, I'm a huge Hoopa-ite. I love both of it's forms, and am psyched to train up one I get from my local event soon!

 

Meanwhile, in North America...

 

Gamestop stores? Damn, I finally have a chance to get a legal hoopa (my other ones are simply duplicates of a Japanese event Hoopa I had won), and there aren't any Gamestop stores around...
Mehh, I think Hoopa's decent. I'm not really into Ghost/Psychic/Dark types, and I personally like Volcanion's design better. I do like Hoopa's story better though!

 

I have used Hoopa competitively before but I only used it's Confined form, and I thought it was awesome. I already have a Hoopa, but I might as well get two more. I love Hoopa a lot more than I did when I first saw it.

 

Well compared to the other mini-legendaries it could be cuter, but it still has a nice design and a good typing. I probably won't be able to get it though; not yet, anyway.

 

Hoopa is pretty cool. It's not my favorite but I do like the little guy. Well, I guess he isn't a little guy once he changes form. Anyway, I definitely want to add him to my collection!
