Really, though, Giovanni just remains tops for me though, mostly cause unlike others, he really is rather unrepentant about his career choice.

last musk
#

Giovanni is pretty goated I should’ve put him higher

fading stratus
#

giovanni is the goat
he loses against a10 y/o and accepts his defeat like a champ

Bro really went “son, I’m off to die in the mountains, I got my ass kicked too hard. I never loved you, fuck off.”

Stone cold.

vital merlin
#

i dont feel like i particularly like any of these people

hasty anchor
#

Well that is kinda the point for a villain

Eh fair.

vital merlin
#

i guess i like giovanni

#

tobias counts as a villain

fading stratus
#

my villain tierlist

last musk
#

If Tobias was on the list he’d get his own tier below N called “YOU ROBBED MY GOAT IN MY FAVOURITE REGION, DIE A DEATH”

#

I should clarify I have not played any dlcs for the modern games

#

My ass was not giving game freak more money after scarlet and violet and sword and shield fell off before I could be bothered

fading stratus
#

he's not really a villain but he loses to the mc and turns into a bitch

#

DUDE SENDS INCINEROAR AS HIS LAST POKEMON

#

thats how you know he bad

hasty anchor
#

And somehow, we are supposed to take "defeating 2 mons out of like the 4 others he had in waiting" to be "pretty good showing"

last musk
#

I mean to be fair

#

They are both legendaries

#

And legendaries are giga broken in the anime

#

Crazy how darkrai and latios just betrayed ash like that, mf helped them in their time of need ffs

hasty anchor
#

I like to think that the writers were gonna have Ash lose again, but there was this guy who kept pitching for his OC to be thrown into the anime

#

And they just eventually caved after being asked constantly, and just agreed to it. They were tired enough as is, and just put in the order for Tobias to be written in.

#

And that, is how so many people were insulted that day.

void herald
#

ash needed to lose to somebody if they wanted to keep having him be the main character

hasty anchor
#

Yeah, it's just, losing in such a manner really hurts.

last musk
#

I mean alola proved that wrong

fading stratus
last musk
#

Being a master doesn’t have to mean being the champion of a single region

hasty anchor
#

Sending in friggin' Darkrai was pain enough

fading stratus
#

in BW dude lost against a guy who thought team limit was 5

#

lmao

hasty anchor
#

So when it finally got KO'd, it was just like

"Oh yeah, that's not the only legend I have"

last musk
hasty anchor
#

And we can infer that like the other 4 on him were also some

last musk
#

Kalos champion fight was also cringe

#

Imagine losing to a Charizard that fought your ace while being 2x weak to it, and then fought your own unique mega evolution (battle bond is a mega fight me, it’s exactly like the descriptions of people in old times mega evolving)

#

AND YOU INVITED THAT MAN TO JOIN THE TOURNAMENT

hasty anchor
#

When we saw Alian again, the resulting battle he got up to in Journeys was simentaneously both awesome and disappointing

#

Mostly cause it wasn't Ash being up against Alian again.

last musk
#

Speaking of masters, Leon being stronger than Cynthia is horse shit

hasty anchor
#

Naw

last musk
#

Bro had to bust out his own tech from the past to beat Cynthia

#

Removed one of the 5 limiter crayons from his brain to remember it

fading stratus
#

how did leon beat cynthia again

#

i forgor

last musk
#

He doesn’t iirc

#

He’s just implied to be strongest

#

Ash goes against Cynthia in the tournament

hasty anchor
#

I still love how the tournament just still proves how downright powerful Pikachu is.

#

When you ended up KOing yet another Metagross and are dangerous enough to the point a ploy had to be used to pull off a double KO against you, then you know you are one eletric mouse to be feared.

fading stratus
#

I watched like only the final tournament of masters and I dont even remember the fights

last musk
#

I did the math

#

This man is fucking cooked against garchomp

fading stratus
#

lmao

last musk
#

And if sands are up he gets ohko’d with no damage done to him

fading stratus
#

you know regular game logic just doesnt work in anime

last musk
#

I don’t care I’m coping

hasty anchor
#

Anime logic does make for far more interesting battles. It's one thing I liked about the anime

hasty anchor
#

Wait, so she just, couldn't use a sleep-inducing move?

fading stratus
#

can only put 1 mon to sleep

hasty anchor
#

I still don't remember that rule all that well. Ah.

fading stratus
#

todescruel is buffed decently here

#

because it doesnt have its jackass ability

hasty anchor
#

I mean, it's a cool ability, but it just hurts more than it helps.

#

If it had more moves to use it with, maybe it wouldn't be too bad

fading stratus
#

yeah it was intentional

#

to prevent fast spores

hasty anchor
#

Oh right, Toedscruel is like, super quick on its... uh, feets

#

Lookit'im go

fading stratus
#

yeah

hasty anchor
#

Got into a writing mood today and did some stuff for some trainers in this little story I'm writing on for a fangame(?).

fading stratus
#

I mean we can give you ideas for gyms e4 and such if you want

hasty anchor
#

Eh, well, there isn't a league, but I appreciate the thought!

fading stratus
#

like if you ever put gyms be sure to do cool stuff like
erika has a flower based team or koga has a ninja based team

hasty anchor
#

Mostly it's a journey of our protagonist to quell the fury of some pokemon that fell under some affliction, and defeat the dark lord, more or less.

It's a fantasy sorta world inspired by some settings such as those in Dragon Quest, so it's like that

fading stratus
#

doesnt have to be monotype

hasty anchor
#

A few concepts I got for some scenarios around the world were like:

A warrior who holds up a bridge and won't admit passage unless the protagonist defeats them. They're on their 999th victory, and you just so happen to be the one that can break that winning streak. Imagined he'd take it in good stride though. Inspired by the warrior monk Benkei, and how he defeated 999 warriors and claimed their swords until delt a loss by Yoshitsune.

Dragon tamer who is caught up in wanting to be the best dragon tamer ever... so he ended up stealing one of his master's dragons (Decided it'd be a Garchomp), and decided to challenge the protagonist, thinking he can't lose. And he loses (Would be funny to have this mon have like 0 in all IV's and poor moves, aside from dragon claw, reflecting how he isn't very much in control of it). After that battle though, he'll realize that this strength he felt he had isn't truly his, and resolves to take the long road to improvement rather than a shortcut, starting with returning the dragon.

Guy who is, literally just the Black Knight (Good bit of inspiration from Fire Emblem here). Certainly is the right-hand to the current dark lord, whomever they are. While he has no issue pushing the big bad's agenda, he's still very sincere, and will have some concept of Fair Play when it comes to hindering the Protagonist's progress. Dunno what mons he'd have, but at the very least, one of his will be Ceruledge.

A sort of thief (Or possibly just some boisterous guy) who thinks he is the one and only rival fit for the Protagonist, and seeks any opportunity to try and best them in a battle. As talented as he is, though, he can't truly match up to them, and is pretty sore about it. In spite of that though, he doesn't give up. Certainly will have some spirit for competition.

First two are just some notable trainers that are around to liven up the world, last two are major characters. Still need to flesh out mr. thief though.

pseudo goblet
#

Hey look @maiden flax and @spice rivet girls in one scene lol

fading stratus
hasty anchor
#

Oh yeah. That affliction I mentioned plays into that I feel.

#

Some powerful mons around the world may suddenly turn violent, necessitating action to be taken to prevent things from getting worse. I'll have to decide what sort of key the protagonist could have to remove such a curse though.

And this isn't limited to just regular mons too. Legendary mons could seemingly be taken by this curse.

#

Had the thought of some legendaries having some regional forme that they take in this setting, but so far, all I got is that I could throw in Groudon.

A Groudon that is the cause for a massive sandstorm sweeping across the sandy plains, putting the livelihood of people and Pokémon at risk. Instead of harsh sunlight, sandstorms follow it wherever it goes.

fading stratus
#

also it gets double omni boost

#

when you face it

hasty anchor
#

Well, yeah, stat boosts much like Totem Pokemon got in Sun/Moon can set the stage!

pseudo goblet
hasty anchor
#

In this case though it's more of a case on how bad things are getting for this bonus to happen. They're powerful, but they above all, need to be defeated and helped.

pseudo goblet
#

Totem, Pokemon Go sizes for Lets Go, D&Gmax, Alpha, Titan

hasty anchor
#

And much like the example on tension/pep up I had earlier, they too can benefit from those

#

Havent decided what sort of legends to throw in yet aside Groudon, but I know they'll be regional formes

pseudo goblet
#

It looks like Groudon but not really

hasty anchor
#

Yeah, something like that

#

I believe that each of these would be the root cause of some calamity affecting a portion of the world. The sandstorm in the dusty dunes of that area is just one example.

Is Camerupt somewhat good for current format???

Is it like Torkoal but without Drought

fading stratus

no its slow and doesnt hit hard either

and isnt bulky

also we really have too many good fire type or ground types rn

pseudo goblet
#

Ooooooh speaking of, Bolt what kind of busted team you can make with Gliscor

fading stratus
#

go away gliscor sucks

pseudo goblet
#

Or did you told how average scorpion- oh wow worse

#

Huh

fading stratus
#

gliscor just doesnt do anything basically

#

generally if a mon cant do much damage it needs to be able to do proactive stuff

#

or else your opponent can just ignore it

#

and target its partners

#

like even if amoongus cant do damage spore is a very proactive move

#

same with follow me

#

well rage powder

pseudo goblet
#

Kinda hard to imagine Johto mons used to not having future evolutions

fading stratus
#

gliscor is pretty good in singles tho btw

pseudo goblet
#

Like, how did yall went through gen 2 and 3 with only Gligar

fading stratus

its a bulky hazard setter

#

they say its bulky but I lost more than 50% hp with like heavy slam from aggron while facing jasmine in rad red so idk

swift jasper

Torkoal is meh himself, but he has drought slapped in

If you at its stats, they're hella mid

So tailwind, switch to ape and Beat Up is a tactic

you can just lead mausape

follow me bulk up lmao

or beat up and atk

or beat up and bulk up

you can even lead maus arch

then beat up arch

and atk

pseudo goblet

What Beats Up damage output anyway????

fading stratus

its like 20 base atk

you use minus atk maus

pseudo goblet

Ahhhhh so like 120 Dark damage

fading stratus

it hits 4 times

because your squad is 4 mons

pseudo goblet

Oh right, Doubles, 80 OgreThink

Fuck I might actually consider Mausape lol

mausape is a pretty good archetype

#

Well, of course!

#

Mostly asking from a writing and gameplay perspective

void herald
#

for pokemon fangames, usually the biggest pitfall is making the story way too edgy

#

like, if a character says swears in a pokemon game it's gonna break my immersion immediately

#

you can see this with stuff like pokemon reborn or pokemon insurgence where the plot is so edgy it loops around to being really difficult to take seriously

#

it's important to not deviate too far from what pokemon's tone is normally like

pseudo goblet
#

At least like, RARRRR why cant I beat my rival who probably dont have main protag armor, I get in villain team and wears black

void herald
#

my favorite part of insurgence's awful writing is how the cults call themselves cults

fading stratus
#

insurgence's whole plot is cult kidnap people

#

and you save the people

and beat the cults

it's another hack in the vein of rad red but it has its own original story and iirc is easier, but also has difficulty settings and does some unorthodox tricks with some of its fights

for example, ||the first gym leader is a stoner so you have to deal with fog in his gym, and one of the other gym leaders does inverse battles||

#

on lower difficulties iirc there is no level cap, but trainers scale with you so it doesn't matter

||hoopa is plot relevant and is why it's called pokemon unbound (hoopa-u, unbound etc||

Been thinking about moves to give to these formes of Chesnaught, Delphox and Greninja

I have some good idea of giving Chesnaught a move in which it simentaneously protects from attacks and deals an attack of its own (Albeit a weak attack that's nowhere near as hard-hitting some moves), but I'm at a loss for the others

#

Also figured, why not, let's make Greninja's ATK stat higher than its Sp. ATK stat for this forme. Standard can learn Gunk Shot, so that'll make something like that more painful, especially since it'll be a Water/Poison type

Had the idea that, this one would instead of a ninja, be a regular ol' thief of sorts.

fading stratus
#

he said water poison yeah

pseudo goblet
#

Instead of shuriken, Greninja shoots poisonous darts, I remembered the name of the irl frog as I said the last sentence

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

but symph wants a ninja

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

I didnt say anything

#

so no point in reading

#

but yeah I posted poison dart frog for a reason

hasty anchor
#

I imagine in the case of this Greninja, it could exemplify the whole thief thing by having an exclusive move that could combine the effects of like, I guess Thief/Switcheroo, on top of being a poison-type move with the usual chance of inflicting poison

#

But then again, in the grand scheme of things, I think this wouldn't help the player very well against opponents

pseudo goblet
hasty anchor
#

Ehhhhh, well that is an idea, yeah.

#

But I guess it would be too risky to use in most cases, plus it would probably upset a few players when it doesn't go their way

#

It's a cool idea though!

pseudo goblet
hasty anchor
#

Actually, that gave me this:

#

Maybe the attack normally inflicts a sort of debuff, but if the target is poisoned already, then the penalty is much more harsh

pseudo goblet
hasty anchor
#

And it's also capable of inflicting Bad Poison, just cause

#

That just leaves Delphox, and I'm vastly confused on how to handle this one

#

Had the idea of its forme being a Fire/Fairy type potentially, and I'm debating how to go about this.

pseudo goblet
#

Archer Delphox, fox already waving sticks around anyway lol

#

I know you guys said Mage Delphox already KEKW

#

We dont really have much pokemon using bows except Decidueye huh, probably seems too human

hasty anchor
#

This may be a good opportunity for really, any Fairy Type move, cause there isn't a whole lot to choose from

pseudo goblet
#

What about ally buff move, raise self and ally best stat by one stage

#

Assuming this is mage

#

Whats Naught’s move again?

hasty anchor
#

I believe for Chesnaught, it would be a rock-type move that protects it, and simentaneously make an attack. It would be a low-powered move though, and is more prone to failure if used in succession, moreso than Protect and Detect

#

Also think it'd be cool for it to learn a move that allows it to, in a double battle, take a hit that was meant for an ally. Not exclusive to it, since I think some mons like Nidoqueen, Armarogue or Aggron could learn it too.

pseudo goblet
#

If it ain’t exclusive, Idk if people would pick Naught OgreThink

#

Also have you guys pick a PikaClone already, because ofc

#

May I suggest Jerboa

hasty anchor
#

I mean, the one where you take a hit for another ally. The move that simentaneously protects Chesnaught and delivers an attack is the exclusive

pseudo goblet
#

Ahhhhhh

hasty anchor
#

Unfortunately not going to be trying out fakemons for this whole thing... for now.

#

I may change my mind later, but that is an idea alright, along with the whole Capybara thing Summer suggested

pseudo goblet
#

Oh right

pseudo goblet
hasty anchor
#

That is a pretty cool concept!

pseudo goblet
#

Figure you need a pseudo, and no fakemon, so picked the method they did with Archaludon kinda

#

@hasty anchor have you guys mentioned a Fairy Type Pollen Puff for Delphox already?

#

Heals when target ally, damage when target enemy

I noticed a lot of my suggestion are doubles-base, ONORE @fading stratus !!! AWAAAAAA

fading stratus
hasty anchor
#

A cool idea that could be

mighty storm
mighty storm

and

Call the move like spring kick or something

This is literally every single cinderace main ever

I retired from dota and lol and unite has been way more fun even tho teammates can still be horrid

true pumice

Yea the only real downside is the teammates

polar osprey

yeah unite is really good casually

just don't try to play like comfey

true pumice

I really like the gameplay and presentation of unite

polar osprey

Getting to play the actual pokemon is a huge plus

you really get to feel like clefable

Idk how supporter mains do it bro

true pumice

Choccy im a supporter main ICANT

I usually play w friends tho

Supporter mains have too much patience

some supporters are fine on their own

true pumice

Oh yea eldegoss

polar osprey

But otherwise it's kinda rough

polar osprey

for no reason

golden lance

At the end i was like

mr mime also deals a lot of dmg still post nerfs for no reason

Eldegoss was really hard

polar osprey

the game also barely has supporters

golden lance
#

Mfs tried the HARDEEST to stay out of the healing circle

#

It was crazy!

true pumice
#

I genuinely considered blissey because I like blissey but man... It's pure support

random stream
#

Ppl not wanting to play defender or supp in ladder is also annoying at times

true pumice
#

And I usually go solo

random stream
#

Or people stealing your central

true pumice
#

Lol

random stream
#

Yeah support is best played with friends

polar osprey
#

defenders have a much better time

#

since like I said

true pumice
#

A lot of defenders are self sufficient

golden lance
#

Yea after the elde incident i just switched to lax

polar osprey
#

mons like blastoise and ho-oh are just all rounders in a trenchcoat

true pumice
#

Lax was really good at thay

golden lance
#

Because you could reliably 1v1 people

true pumice
#

I remember

polar osprey
#

mgross is more of a defender than blastoise lol

random stream
#

Slowbro is super self sufficient

golden lance
#

Harvest was broken

random stream
#

Trevenant too

#

and umbreon

polar osprey
#

yeah

#

defenders are a lot more self sufficient

#

the most self-sufficient support like I said is hoopa

#

but it's still ehhhh

random stream
#

@pseudo goblet they nerfed mamoswine but only slightly PeepoCry

#

I was wanting a buff lol

golden lance
#

Man i'm so happy the zeraora population is dead

polar osprey
#

I didn't get that either

polar osprey
#

maybe they thought a9 mamo would be too good?

random stream

Maybe

polar osprey

or something insane like that

random stream
#

I've been helping my mamoswine duo friend evolve super fast with exp share

#

gets it online way ahead of schedule

polar osprey
#

@slim birch we are continuing the convo here btw

golden lance
#

Like, being good at the game didnt necessarely tie into who you mained

#

But zera mains were ALWAYS bad

polar osprey
#

exp share is like

#

the best item in the game

random stream
#

Word

polar osprey
#

your team should always have one

#

otherwise you just start the game from behind

random stream
#

Yeah it's why I like playing support

#

bc im the exp share holder

#

and clef evolves lightning fast at lv 4

#

so it doesnt matter

true pumice
polar osprey
#

I just shove share on my ho-oh if no one else is on it

golden lance

Oh wait we're not in gen anymore

polar osprey
#

yeah I didn't want everyone to get muted again

random stream
#

So choccy the way exp share works is you stay near your ally, either one of you kos a pokemon

Your ally gets 100% of the exp and you get a bonus 30%

pseudo goblet
random stream
#

Yeah so just stay near them as they farm and both of you get huge benefits

#

you can also take their mons w/o griefing

Do you understand how emblems work choccy

true pumice

Damn what a fall

golden lance
#

No

polar osprey
#

they are not that important

#

kinda

#

but they also are

random stream
#

not too important but they're nice to have

polar osprey
#

ok so

#

the bonus effects

random stream
#

it's not too hard but you basically want the right color combinations depending on the mons you use

polar osprey
#

are more important than your stats

random stream
#

I usually do 6 white 6 brown for physical attackers
6 white 6 green for special attackers

polar osprey
#

so just focus on those until you can upgrade your emblems

#

and only upgrade the good ones

random stream
#

Yeah dont upgrade the poop ones

polar osprey
#

otherwise you will waste a lot of coins

golden lance
#

I see

random stream
#

Also its better to decrease your defenses than your HP

polar osprey
#

but the stat boost doesn't matter much try to get the bonus

Finally caught up to yall messages KEKW

random stream

I use bulkier mons so I like white

golden lance
polar osprey

a lot more

random stream

black = cooldown reduction
white = +maxhp%
brown = +atk%

Black reduces cooldown you say?

polar osprey
#

sorry not black

red

#

Yeah but it's also the rarest emblem

#

color

polar osprey
#

some want red some want black

golden lance
#

Is gengar back at the menu?

random stream

Red is attack speed

polar osprey

miraidon wants black for cooldown

pseudo goblet
polar osprey

for example

random stream

Miraidon would do 7 black 6 green right

polar osprey
#

yeah

golden lance
#

You cant do a mono color?

polar osprey

the max bonus is either 6 or 7

pseudo goblet
#

You guys are talking about Emblems right?

random stream

Early on you probably wont have too many duals

polar osprey

you can always get 2

random stream

Yeah

pseudo goblet

Ah

polar osprey

focus on sp or attack gain first

#

until you get more dual

golden lance

Hmm

Should probably get a new main too

polar osprey

then add black/white/red depending on the mon

didn't you say you wanted ho-oh?

I hope we get great tusk someday

polar osprey

any of the legendary trio paradoxes would also be nice

pseudo goblet
#

How many new Defender have they added btw??

polar osprey
#

raging bolt would go hard to play as

golden lance
#

Yo

#

Walking wake would go crazy

polar osprey

when they add paradoxes they will probably add a future and past one

#

since they like adding mons in batches of 2

fading stratus
#

probably like the counterparts
like valiant moon

polar osprey
#

Idk unite is crazy when adding shit

fading stratus
#

or balking bake iron green

true pumice

Val moon I mean

polar osprey

wouldn't be surprised if it's like iron bundle and brute bonnet or some shit

true pumice
