Do you like Kantonian or Alolan better, or do you like both shiny?

[last musk]

Psyduck is the next unite mon

[mighty storm]

both gold nuggets are cool

[hasty anchor]

Started doing some thinking on locations in fantasy fangame

I of course, had the idea of several cities that would have some ruling lord of some fashion. And figured "What if there was an abandoned castle that used to be a thriving city, until something made its people abandon it?"

Could be a cool place to explore, and find some rare mons. Might have to look for some mons that could take over and live there.

[pseudo goblet]

The gym leaders are rulers

[hasty anchor]

Gave thought to Druddigon, and figured, why not, it might have a home there.

...And now I'm suddenly like "Yeah, Druddigon is very oft-forgotten... what if I gave it an evolution like what they did to Duraludon?"

[hasty anchor]

Sadly I don't think I'll go the whole Gym Leader route. Insofar as your path to being a master, is about your deeds rather than badges.

But rest assured there will be prominent people to battle!

[pseudo goblet]

So the ol ‘knight for hire and kill beast, honor and reward as such’

So I assume the TMs and scrolls instead of disks

[hasty anchor]

Well, maybe omit the whole 'kill' thing, but you definitely will have a heck of a quest awaiting you as you journey.

[pseudo goblet]

Or, floppy disks

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, TM's I decided would be like that. Likely scrolls, or pages in a spellbook.

I'll definitely wow someone playing this game blind if I ever make it, when their Druddigon just becomes like, super powerful after evolving

[pseudo goblet]

by give it ability like, no weakness at all lol, all neutral damage to it

[inland gyro]

druddigon is like forgettable even during a gen 5 playthrough

[hasty anchor]

I feel like trying to give it a new typing wouldn't exactly do it justice, so I might just wind up keeping it a dragon type, but doing something to it to make it way more imposing

Only thing holding me back is really, the fact I already hate how a lot of 600 BST stuff in the series are dragon types.

I might just make it like 590 BST just to be contrary

[pseudo goblet]

Thoughts around its ability(I think Rough skin?) led to this btw

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, Druddigon is forgettable, but I still like its design. Apparently what they went for was something akin to a Gargoyle, and a somewhat realistic giant reptile

It gets cold, and stops moving, but it also becomes as indistinguishable as stone.

[pseudo goblet]

I dont’t see why not a second pseudo then, your game, your way to make it fun

Thats not dragon

[inland gyro]

could lean into being a gargoyle more by having it age into turning to stone?

[hasty anchor]

Yeah. About the only ones I know I'm throwing in is Salamence (Makes sense!) and Garchomp (As a bit of a joke I'm definitely gonna throw in)

Oh yeah, maybe it could be a Dragon/Rock type

[pseudo goblet]

You probably wanna study some welsh stuff, idk, Lockstin videos comes to mind sometimes

[inland gyro]

this a welsh based region?

[pseudo goblet]

Depend on Symph, unlikely

[hasty anchor]

It's actually a Fantasy World. Think of like, the usual kinds of settings in the Dragon Quest series of games

[pseudo goblet]

Basically words are Druddigon pulls some lore from Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[inland gyro]

ahh ok

disappointed they didn't include any ll's to fuck with the players

[pseudo goblet]

Or give something like Falinks a new evo too lmao

Idk

[hasty anchor]

I'll consider it!

[pseudo goblet]

Thats the first non dragon mon came to mind

[pseudo goblet]

Btw, whose the Dragon Quest Slimes equivalent in this

… wait, did I just make my one of my favorite pseudo baby a route 1 rodent…

[hasty anchor]

Insofar as being common and literally everywhere, or actual slimey things?

Cause I dunno just yet. I figured players haven't seen Rattata in a good long while, so I was thinking on that for a brief moment for the former.

...And Taillow I guess, if we're taking common birds

WEAVILE

[slim birch]

My boy Dragonite

[warm sky]

I assume you meant uu

[fading stratus]

yeah

[warm sky]

they really gave him bad stats and a bad ability twice 😭

[hasty anchor]

I really wish Weavile had better abilities though

[warm sky]

(okay H-Decidueye has scrappy but the stats are still terrible)

[hasty anchor]

Pressure is... alright but it's not an ability you want on a quick and fast striker, and Pickpocket is very fitting, but really doesn't matter all that much

[fading stratus]

if hecidueye was fast enough triple arrows woulda been a menace

[hasty anchor]

Really it just makes me wish it kept Keen Eye

At the least it may come into play in a crucial moment!

Actually, Inner Focus sounds better

It would keep Weavile's ATK from being lowered via the Intimidate ability

[fading stratus]

rr gave it infiltrator that's kinda neat ig

[hasty anchor]

Also fitting. It's a sneaky fella

[fading stratus]

I do like giving it inner focus tho

because it makes it immune to intimidate yeah

or like clear body

or sth

[hasty anchor]

Salamence brings up all its frightful, draconic prescence. And then Weavile feigns interest.

[fading stratus]

mence is also been powercrept

mega mence is a mencance tho

[hasty anchor]

Really unfortunate, cause it's such a feelgood story about the dragon

Meanwhile most other dragons are varying degrees of just, being really savage

Admittedly Salamence isn't so different, but it's mostly cause it just loves flying so much. Why wouldn't it torch everything below it?

[fading stratus]

this is the first gen dragonite has been good

which is so funny

and its probably been the best pseudo this gen

[hasty anchor]

Dragonite confuses me a whole bunch

I keep thinking it's Sp. ATK is higher, but it's actual ATK stat is higher

Those stubby arms can throw a mean punch

[fading stratus]

it can throw hands

[hasty anchor]

But you wouldn't know that with how it loves Hurricane

[fading stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/thunder-punch-dragonite-punch-pokemon-haxorus-fighting-gif-26853854

[outer eagle]

imagine a dragonite breathing fire vs a dragonite sitting on you

i'd take my chances with the fire tbh

[hasty anchor]

Jeez, all dragons just have a mean right hook.

[fading stratus]

we should give dragonite dual wingbeat tbh

[hasty anchor]

Haxorus has like, really stubby arms too and look at the two just socking each other

[fading stratus]

it'd make it so better

[normal cave]

Why is he using thunder punch in a dragon mirror match, is he stupid?

[hasty anchor]

To be fair, it's one I think that was owned by Iris

[fading stratus]

dont call ma boi stupid

[hasty anchor]

Most of what it does is just "smash"

It works a lot of times. it was a very angry boy

[normal cave]

The entirety of gen 5 anime was stupid

[hasty anchor]

Ehhh, well, it was a thing.

Probably the weakest showing of the series

[fading stratus]

ash lost to a guy who thought teamsize was 5

[outer eagle]

well does dnite learn ice punch

[hasty anchor]

It doesn't

But it learns Ice Beam... for some reason.

[fading stratus]

it can spin icely

[hasty anchor]

Oh wait it can learn ice punch

Man, Dragonite just remains a chad among dragons

[normal cave]

Ice spinner is better

[hasty anchor]

Using attacks that dragons dread to get hit by

[normal cave]

But terra normal extremespeed is better

[outer eagle]

also we really shouldn't be talking about anime pokemon move usage being stupid when s1 pikachu won cuz of sprinklers

[hasty anchor]

Dragons like Salamence and Garchomp probably panick at the sight of ice.

Dragonite? Bring it.

[normal cave]

Dragonite dies to an ice cube too

It can just use ice

[hasty anchor]

It better be a huge ice cube, cause Multiscale could very well allow it to take the hit

[outer eagle]

multiscale vs teravolt kyurem-b ice ball

[hasty anchor]

It's one thing I like about this doofy dragon. It's pretty big-hearted and is lovable

Yet it is very well capable of showing that yes, it can and will destroy everything if you really end up enraging it.

[outer eagle]

most things 10x your size are typically big hearted yes

[hasty anchor]

From Sword:

It’s a kindhearted Pokémon. If it spots a drowning person or Pokémon, Dragonite simply must help them.

[fading stratus]

dragonite looks very goofy and that's why I like it

[hasty anchor]

And meanwhile, from Moon:

Incur the wrath of this normally calm Pokémon at your peril, because it will smash everything to smithereens before it’s satisfied.

[fading stratus]

banded outrage hits very hard

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, it's a big goofus that will destroy you.

[fading stratus]

thats what its saying

[outer eagle]

well see it's only kind to drowning people

[hasty anchor]

And that's all good in the world

[normal cave]

I love dnite

It's friend shaped

[outer eagle]

so if it gets angry it will just choke you instead of drowning you

[fading stratus]

You were right @polar osprey holy

Ho-oh is super fun and goated

also @golden lance

I'm using fire spin sky attack

[golden lance]

What items?

[random stream]

Score shield isn't for everyone since ppl say it's trash item but honestly I can't play w/o it

so many clutch games where my goals weren't stopped due to the shield

can put smth else over it if you want

[golden lance]

i see

[random stream]

I play it as a support-ish tank mon so resonant guard and experience share are really good

With resonant guard (middle item) if you dmg an enemy pokemon, you and your nearby ally get a shield for a few seconds

[golden lance]

what about the one that gives you a "skill"? is eject button still the best thing ever?

[random stream]

Eject button (flash) despite the cooldown nerfs is generally the best battle item yeah

but others are viable
I like x speed more for example

Potion is unironically viable

[golden lance]

huh

[random stream]

Yeah only 30 seconds cooldown and it heals you for like 20% of your max hp

can use it to outplay ppl or survive in tough lanes

[golden lance]

interesting

Is it even worth getting into the game for the code with my warzone-ass wifi?

[latent sleet]

it isn’t very demanding on wi-fi i think

[normal cave]

My wifi struggles with browsers

[latent sleet]

well that’s tough

[normal cave]

I don't think I can afford to play a game that I can't quit at a moment's notice

[latent sleet]

yeah that makes a lot of sense

[void herald]

hex normie...

[warm sky]

time to shill a friend

[hasty anchor]

I really thought that throat-sac-thing that you see on birds was something else for a second, and got concerned.

[kind vortex]

i'm sure fan artists would have had a field day with it

[hasty anchor]

Guessed that since I got an alternate forme of Groudon plotted out, why not subject Kyogre and Rayquaza to the same treatment?

Wondered if I could make Kyogre the cause of a neverending winter in one portion of the land, and Rayquaza surprisingly, the cause of a unending windstorm wracking the land

[fading stratus]

rayquaza causes unending lightning strikes or sth idk

like that one place

you can translate that in game by like each endphase you get a lightning strike i.e like 25% of your hp gets reduced or sth

[hasty anchor]

Might've thought about that one monster in Monster Hunter when thinking about this Rayquaza

Amatsu was its name, and it practically is just a living hurricane.

https://tenor.com/view/amatsu-amatsumagatsuchi-monster-hunter-monster-hunter-portable3rd-elder-dragon-gif-21328359

[fading stratus]

I havent really played MH

[hasty anchor]

Ah, sorry

[fading stratus]

dwai

[hasty anchor]

I got one idea based on that: Maybe if there is either a rainstorm or Tailwind is active, then non-electric types have their HP reduced each turn?

Something like that?

...Though, that would also make it stick out compared to Groudon and Kyogre, who might just start a sandstorm/snowstorm when sent out in battle.

[fading stratus]

it could be sandstorm but it cant be changed by any other ability/moves

also supereffective moves get reduced by a quarter

while on the sandstorm

and on snowstorm kyogre's moves get a extra 25% boost

[hasty anchor]

Oooh, yeah, maybe have another effect on top of that

Sand Stream and Snow Warning are pretty common anyways, extra bonuses for it too (Like what goes on for Orichalcum Pulse and Halcyon Drive) would balance it out

[fading stratus]

yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Whats the name of mama and papa dragon again

[hasty anchor]

Oh, those? They aren't related to Amatsu as far as I know. But, they're called Wind Serpent Ibushi and Thunder Serpent Narwa

Title included

Trying to play hoopa in unite is hell

[fading stratus]

is it bad or good

[fading stratus]

when are we adding everyone's favourite mon incineroar in unite

[pseudo goblet]

Its like, engineer from tf2 but ONLY teleporter

[fading stratus]

so bad

[pseudo goblet]

But Hoopa strong suit is letting teammate quickly through 4 different goals or Escape eject button

DPS?? It does get unbound and damage I think is fair, you just have to learn how everything works

[pseudo goblet]

If you hate SUPER close range, do not pick Ice fang

A lot of funny moments tho

[fading stratus]

choose icicle spear

[pseudo goblet]

But like, with Icicle Crash, you can sometimes get players escaping

Also using it to scare off players(as least I hope it does, or I look like a barking guard dog)

[pseudo goblet]

Is it Crash or Spear? Former no?

[fading stratus]

spear

crash also exists

they are 2 different moves

[pseudo goblet]

Hm

Earthquake and Highhorse Power have their perks, EQ stuns and jump through walls, HHP if just wanna charge through everything

I prefer EQ, I mean, in a game where theres TOO MANY mons with escaping methods, you might prefer stun them while you fighting them before they decide to escape

Mamo HHP aint Talonflame Fly

[pseudo goblet]

Idk what it is, but this scene looks funny to me

[hasty anchor]

I feel like that I will eventually have to play some terrible fan games to get a feel of what not to do when designing one.

And I dread having to do this.

It's probably just gonna be a lot of grimdark nonsense, terrible jokes, stuff that really shouldn't happen in a Pokémon World, and writers trying to shoehorn Cynthia into everything they make.

That last one is probably just a guess but I know for a fact the other three are givens in a lot of fangames

[pseudo goblet]

hmm, thinking like a maniac and reflect it to the villain character

[fading stratus]

btw @pseudo goblet do you have link for the kommo o team

that I made like 2 months ago

[pseudo goblet]

You mean the team Im using?

[fading stratus]

yes

[hasty anchor]

Kommo-O is nice

[pseudo goblet]

Oh thank god, that one I know lmao

[hasty anchor]

Though its yet another dragon, so... eh.

[hasty anchor]

Oh, uh

Clangorous Soul?

[fading stratus]

no

[hasty anchor]

Oh

[fading stratus]

[hasty anchor]

Uh

Boomburst?

[fading stratus]

its iron defense body press

[hasty anchor]

Oh

Yeah that works pretty well!

[pseudo goblet]

you saying Gib Link and me resurface the team is in my core memory

[fading stratus]

we probably wanna change it to tera fire flamethrower tbh zane

[pseudo goblet]

https://pokepast.es/d52a38eeaf24df65

[hasty anchor]

I swear a lot of dragons also suffer this problem in which they got a good stat in one area but a lot of moves that are super cool end up using another stat

[fading stratus]

instead of steel iron head

[hasty anchor]

Dragonite had it (Though it can work around that), Kommo-O has it, Dragapult has it

[last musk]

You entirely rely on your teammates to both know how the portals work and how and when to best use them

[hasty anchor]

About the few that use their stats in a lot of cases are Salamence (And even it tends to have special attacks frequently), Garchomp (...Ech.), and Hydreigon (Actually is very much at home using Special Attacks instead of Physical attacks)

[pseudo goblet]

loses a reliable way to down Archaludon, hmm

[fading stratus]

no

like we remove iron head

[hasty anchor]

I'm bewildered why more players don't use Hydreigon. Given if you Terastalize it into an electric type meaning it has no weakness to exploit.

[pseudo goblet]

OHHHHH okay Im dumb lol

hmmmmmm

[fading stratus]

and make it bold

[pseudo goblet]

probably yeah,

[fading stratus]

instead of impish

[hasty anchor]

I guess for the most part it's just, it's "balanced" in such a way it's not exactly bad in one stat, but you need mons that specialize more than you need an everyman

...Or something. I'm no expert.

[fading stratus]

thats what makes it bad

[hasty anchor]

I wouldn't say it's "bad".

[fading stratus]

if the mon doesnt do anything special its probably not great

[hasty anchor]

"Unnecessary" is more like it.

Then again you can get the same result by Terastalizing Latios into an Electric type, and get mostly a better result.

Which, I would say "good" but really, Hydreigon is just a very unfortunate soul.

[fading stratus]

also idk why arawuanid has 252 spd

instead of 252 atk

[pseudo goblet]

Just finishing this weeks chores for Pokemon Masters and irl, trying to stay off of SV- tho I have fr been doing that for week

[fading stratus]

make it 252 atk

[hasty anchor]

Fast spoder

[fading stratus]

spd is sp defense

spe is speed

[hasty anchor]

Oh

Yeah it's got surprisingly high Sp. Def

[pseudo goblet]

Literally as I said 'away from SV' Bolt making me checking Aquamancer

[hasty anchor]

Not like, Ledian levels of "jeez why is this thing's Sp. Def so high", but it's notable

[fading stratus]

make it 252 atk

[hasty anchor]

I also keep thinking Leech Life still has a BP of 20, but nope, it's more powerful than even Giga Drain

[fading stratus]

Idk why I never realised I mistakenly put 252 spd

lmao

[pseudo goblet]

But bulky spider

[fading stratus]

bro it already has like 132 or sth spd

[pseudo goblet]

also put fat egg over spooder btw

fairy type is a very needed type rn

because everyone is on dragons

[hasty anchor]

They have no class, I can tell

[pseudo goblet]

how slow is Azu

[fading stratus]

like 50

or sth

[hasty anchor]

Most of that Speed isn't gonna matter too much with Aqua Jet in tow

But it pays to be careful

[pseudo goblet]

this one wouldnt have Belly drum right

[fading stratus]

you probably play banded or life orb

you can play belly drum tho

[pseudo goblet]

would it be safer if without

risk and reward both pretty high here

[fading stratus]

yeah

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, but that's quitter talk. Go all in

[fading stratus]

its just pick your poison

[pseudo goblet]

lmao

although, Amoongus support

fuck it, we roll

Remembered team has Spore and Rage powder

[hasty anchor]

Mushroom stuff yep

[pseudo goblet]

Would Shell Bell work

or Sitrus Berry

[fading stratus]

sitrus berry

if you play sitrus in this you gotta play safety goggles on inci

[pseudo goblet]

oh right Inci had it

[pseudo goblet]

So whats the move like, Play Rough, Belly Drum/Aqua Jet, Liquidation, Aqua Ring?

I just now realize team would lose Wide Guard

[fading stratus]

losing wide guard isnt really big deal

banded azu should play like
play rough
liquidation
aqua jet
perish song/knock off

sitrus should play
belly drum
play rough
aqua jet
protect

life orb can play
play rough
aqua jet
liquidation/knock off/perish song
protect

https://youtu.be/3-3aw10QPrY?si=BL35iyjDd871getE

wonder if zacian or flutter mane in #1

[pseudo goblet]

The thumbnail is accurate

:3

Wait Egg gets Perish Song?

[fading stratus]

yes

egg gets perish song as a egg move

[pseudo goblet]

Egg really is evil

[fading stratus]

wow he put flutter mane at #4

I had forgotten about xerneas

he'll probs put it at 1

[hasty anchor]

It's obviously Clefable, and I'm not saying this cause Ren may get upset if I dont

There's a lot of very great fairies that really, the number 1 spot is kinda meaningless when so many up there are just merely slightly, very slightly worse than the tops

[fading stratus]

clefairy is almost always better than clefable

the current format is the only one I can remember where clefable is better

[hasty anchor]

I mean, in double battles most certainly

[fading stratus]

yeah

in doubles

I dont really play singles much so my knowledge is very limited

[hasty anchor]

Clefairy is just the best friend someone can ask for

alolan hop sucks

lillie > alolan hop

[pseudo goblet]

Idk how to feel about me agreeing with that lol

TORCHIC NO

[fading stratus]

chicken likes geckos

my man lost to a crit on the last turn

must feel bad

[pseudo goblet]

Opening some recent buys, couldve use the money for these to get a Digimon figure

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

@normal cave tiny sushi

[normal cave]

Bite sized friend

[fading stratus]

now eat it

[pseudo goblet]

Nope, back to their box they go lol

[pseudo goblet]

Same thoughts on these

1 Lapras for each pack apparently

[normal cave]

Ayy lapras

[pseudo goblet]

Huh, just now realize they have Temporal Forces but not Shrouded Fable

Stellar Crown is the newest one iirc

I think this is the best card I pulled

[fading stratus]

@outer eagle there are 12 different mons in the finals and still rillaboom isnt one of em

[outer eagle]

last time i caught a glimpse of a t4 the rilla player was up 1-0

[fading stratus]

he got haxed g2

g3 he haxed but couldnt win

[outer eagle]

boom's gonna become the potential man of the format
all the usage, none of the wins

[fading stratus]

incin has made finals in every tournament

and they say its bad now

tho I can understand incin being not amazing in format where stuff like clear body/scrappy/defiant is very popular

[fading stratus]

piyokko>>

[pseudo goblet]

Wth Torchic couldve been a bug

[hasty anchor]

what

[hasty anchor]

Aw man, do I really want to play a bunch of bad fangames?

Admittedly if I do, I would like to find a way to chronicle them so everyone can see how I am just in misery.

[void herald]

the best bad fangame is pokemon insurgence imo

the gameplay is good, the issue is that the story is laughably bad

[hasty anchor]

Noted! May make that my first stop if I wind up posting something like that somewhere

Dunno of any places that'll take screenshot by the dozen detailing a playthrough, though.

[fading stratus]

the story is very edgy

[fading stratus]

yes

start with dark rising

all 3

idk if they made 4th game

[hasty anchor]

They made three of them

Oh jeez

[fading stratus]

worlds collide is basically pokemon and digimon worlds start to collide

and you can catch digimon and shit

dark rising 1 is where you play as the mc's son and try to find your father iirc

it ends up being elaborate choosen one bullshit

then dr2 is basically dr1 sequel where you beat the main villain in the end

then there's a short game where the main villain turns out to be hoopa and hoopa tries to kill everything

its basically pokemon survival

where resources are very limited

[hasty anchor]

Ahhh.

I know next-to-nothing about Digimon, so I can't tell if I can really play this well, but I can try

[fading stratus]

they were planning to make dr3 where main mc are two childrens of zygarde

[fading stratus]

that you save on this game

[fading stratus]

idk if this exists tho

[hasty anchor]

Yeah this sounds pretty dumb. Which means I'll probably have it on the list to play.

[fading stratus]

its pretty funny all things considered

and very glitchy

[hasty anchor]

Righto

[fading stratus]

I have fond memories of it because it was my first rom hack series I played like 7ish yrs ago

[kind vortex]

i mean if you're already considering playing "bad fangames" you may as well add reborn and rejuvenation to the list in some order; reborn is completed and rejuvenation, while it's still being developed, has a full-on route split now, and both have more than enough content to hold you

whether you actually like them or not is another issue, although reborn did tone down some of its edge in its last big update

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, those certainly will be on the to-do list

I'm dreading Reborn not just cause of the sorid tales I heard of it, but cause it's just incredibly long from the sound of things

[kind vortex]

yes, that is what i meant when i said it (and rejvu) have more than enough content to hold you

[hasty anchor]

Righto

[kind vortex]

reborn does the thing where you get one gym leader per type, so there are 18 badges, on top of all the other stuff they throw at you

if you're into something shorter, there's desolation, which still has a decent amount of content but doesn't go as hard on the whole gym thing

i think the last update has 7 badges and level cap goes to like 70 or 75

compared to reborn/rejuv where at 7 badges the cap is around 50 or thereabouts

[hasty anchor]

Ech, level caps

[kind vortex]

they are a fact of life in the "bad fangames" you seek : ^)

[hasty anchor]

That it is. I can see the reasoning behind them, but all too often I heard they're just there to make things a bit more unbearable, rather than tolerable

Admittedly I may end up doing the same if I ever make one, but have it be much more lenient when it comes to EXP. Maybe just diminishing returns for leveling up too much, but it's not impossible to go beyond it.

[kind vortex]

oh also doubles are pretty common, esp in reborn

idk what you think about doubles, so you'll either like that or not

[hasty anchor]

I'm pretty indifferent on the prospect. Colosseum and XD were games I enjoyed which had nothing but double battles, so I got some basic knowledge in them

Though I'm definitely not a battler like Ren or Yoz.

[kind vortex]

some of the doubles have special gimmicks

one of them is a wonder guard boss mon which has really high base speed and uses entrainment on partner electric types, iirc

that one's pretty late in the story tho

[hasty anchor]

Alright, lemme guess

Said electric type is Tynamo or something that evolves from it

[kind vortex]

it's late in the story so it'd be eelektrik and i don't remember if that one's on his team or not

[hasty anchor]

Cause if it's Wonder Guard, that just seems like something a game creator would do

Ahhh

[fading stratus]

you should try light platinum too btw symph

that was peak of early fangames

[kind vortex]

lemme go look up the fight real quick

[hasty anchor]

Hah, yeah sure I may consider Platinum

[fading stratus]

it was really good from what I remember

it was basically 2 regions 16 gyms and a decent story based on creation trio iirc

[hasty anchor]

I'm gonna get so much of a kick riffing on some of their OC's

[fading stratus]

but I havent played it in over 5-6 years idk

[kind vortex]

okay so it's dark/ghost (redacted) with a partner trainer who uses 6 mons

[hasty anchor]

Wait are we talking about actual Platinum or some fangame named Platinum

[kind vortex]

aromatisse, drampa, a-raichu, rotom-w, mega alakazam, electivire

[hasty anchor]

Ahhhh

[kind vortex]

so no levitate eelektrik bullshit

rotom-w does have levitate but it's also weak to grass

[hasty anchor]

Well, that's a small relief. Still, that does sound a mite awful

[kind vortex]

well i say levitate but mean air balloon

point being that's not a factor

[hasty anchor]

Righto

[void herald]

there's also pokemon wack version which is just

indescribable

[kind vortex]

anyway the mime itself is extremely bulky, it's not shedinja

[hasty anchor]

That name alone intrigues me

[kind vortex]

it has 1 base atk/spatk but 252 base hp, 190 base def/spdef

[hasty anchor]

Guessing it really must go in on being weird

[void herald]

it is extremely weird

[hasty anchor]

Ah yeah, formes that min-max the hell out of mons. Peak design!

[kind vortex]

pokemon wack
i can imagine

[void herald]

also very edgy but in a completely different way from reborn and insurgence

[kind vortex]

yep, that's fakemon in a nutshell

although the specifics of these ones are plot spoilers

[hasty anchor]

Righto

[kind vortex]

google pokemon wack
wiki link is in 4chan speak bitching about vandalism and fandom

good start

[pseudo goblet]

Apparently the version exclusives outbreak(no shiny or mark boost) ending around today, almost not updating my game to keep it

These would be next weeks Zane problem 🙂

[outer eagle]

that cramorant about to sacrifice morpeko

[fading stratus]

a[forbidden droplet]

[jovial goblet]

Forbidden Droplet

[fading stratus]

same energy

[hasty anchor]

Cramorant is just great

Love this bird

[pseudo goblet]

I actually needed to look up and confirm what monke shiny color is

Less monochrome-ish and more towards Takahashi Yuya(s) fav color scheme

@fading stratus @mighty storm @spice rivet I DIDNT EVEN START THE HUNT

shiny charm odds, wtf

I am so back

[fading stratus]

when are we building a new team zane

when

and shiny kyogre

[pseudo goblet]

Zane fled*

[fading stratus]

[spice rivet]

Lmao 🤣

[pseudo goblet]

Found out 1st target was Violet exclusive, best plan would be getting the other Violet ones since I can do Scarlet later

Im afraid to check if Morpeko is Violet, rat shiny is pretty bad…

Shitttttttttt~

Goddamn they re hard to see

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/passimian-alola-pokemon-sun-moon-gif-7435971

The rugby monkey ❤️

I should go after morpeko

[pseudo goblet]

It is about to end, better be quick

[mighty storm]

or continue my cranidos hunt

Red pachy friend

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda prefer Oranguru, went to zoo and saw Orang utan when I was a kid

[fading stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-oranguru-thinking-hmm-gif-16023282486153951105

[pseudo goblet]

Yes we say the name separately, idk why

[mighty storm]

btw the swablu was from the cranidos hunt, it didnt pop up until right after my sandwich

[fading stratus]

he wants to eat the sammich

[mighty storm]

the shiniest of cloud megas

[pseudo goblet]

Oh wow theres a ton more, I only saw the bird and Flygon ones

Gallade looks menacing wth https://vxtwitter.com/blessthousoul/status/1836615815749369937?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw

[fading stratus]

I wish we actually get a good dragon fairy mon

[hasty anchor]

Alright but I just wish we had no dragons, period

[pseudo goblet]

Found the damn milk candy rat, 24 min left on the sandwich I believe

[pseudo goblet]

That would be a neat yt video idea, what would certain pokemon types be if one of their type never existed

Well ig half of fairy types would be easy

[mighty storm]

Morpeko isnt a rat

https://tenor.com/view/guinea-pig-yawn-tired-sleepy-gif-13658799107737634805

They're a combination of hamsters and guinea pigs

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah Im not good at spelling Guinea yet lol

What mon to use the rest of sandwich, probably Sandy Shocks

[mighty storm]

speaking of rats and non-rats, morpeko ties with alolan-rattata for the shortest dark types

[pseudo goblet]

I just realize the sandwich I made dont have encounter power, no wonder Sandy Shocks isn’t spawning like crazy

[golden lance]

IS THAT MAGMAR

[pseudo goblet]

Coastal Biome I get but it seems wrong to see Alolan Vulpix and Sandshrew in Savanna Biome

[swift jasper]

Every time i see funny shit like this the answer is follow me

[kind vortex]

yup

magmar and electabuzz both, among others

both of them also conveniently have vital spirit so whenever follow me/spore happens that's always funny

[hasty anchor]

They got spirit, yes they do

I am very bummed rn cause I just learned there will be a Blaziken ex card released in the TCG

...And it's a starter deck card. Which likely isn't gonna be very good

WEZL COUPLE

[hasty anchor]

wezl

[hasty anchor]

I just learned there's a fanmade traditional fighting game with a bunch of fighting types and it looks very cool

[warm sky]

it also has a broken arcade mode boss only character ||Gorochu||

cast is pretty diverse

[hasty anchor]

One of those things people in the fighting game businness call an SNK boss, I'm sure.

Also oooh, neat cast

Y'know, I love how all of these, aside from Blaziken are relatively more obscure fighting types.

And that's super cool, since I feel it probably would have been too easy to just like, throw in Lucario or Machamp or whatever, so they went with this kind of cast

I feel like my dumb self would try to play Blaziken, but I feel like I'd have way more fun playing Primeape

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ctf-YnVpOIc

Found a vid and the overall gameplay looks pretty solid too.

[normal cave]

Mienshaomienshaomienshaomienshao

[mighty storm]

ooh spooky outbreak event

[pseudo goblet]

I should have enough time before this happens, he says with uncertainty in his voice

[mighty storm]

gotta get that weed

[pseudo goblet]

I need all of these

[mighty storm]

though I may go for gastly first as bad as the shiny is

[pseudo goblet]

Probably want a Gengar of my own, I’d like to replace the shinies I got from raid If I can

[mighty storm]

which one is the shiny?

[pseudo goblet]

The middle most gas

[mighty storm]

get the beta images while you can

[pseudo goblet]

💀

[hasty anchor]

Now here's the real question to ask: If I am going to actually commit to making a fangame, would it ideally be like, a ROMhack or something done via RPGmaker?

I feel like there is pros and cons to each, which is why I'm going to figure out which one I could look into.

[last musk]

romhacks are more likely to get taken down

[hasty anchor]

Ahh, good point

[fading stratus]

idt I've heard of a romhack being taken down
uranium was a fan game no?

[mighty storm]

uranium was a fan game

[twin shard]

The fighter fangame looks interesting

Might give it a try

[fading stratus]

its really fun

these were the fighters last time I tried

idk if they added new ones

[hasty anchor]

Seems like there's 16 so far, so nothing's changed

[fading stratus]

I like that each mon has a different playstyle

[pseudo goblet]

Shall I attempt convince you to find&try Pokemon Brick Bronze lol

[fading stratus]

why do you wanna brick your bronze

[hasty anchor]

What's that?

[fading stratus]

its roblox

so dwai

[pseudo goblet]

Roblox fan game that got DMCA basically

Nintendo got them before finish the story and before E4

[hasty anchor]

Roblox? Eh, I'll pass. Though, I imagine given the DMCA it isn't around anymore.

Don't like em, sorry to say

Thinking as a first step I might try out RadRed, since from what I heard it's still pretty alright, then note my findings

...And then comes the inevitability of having to play Reborn, so I'm confident it's not gonna get better than that

[pseudo goblet]

Don’t be, it was mostly nostalgia speaking

[hasty anchor]

Alrighty!

[pseudo goblet]

Also yeahhh, the original is gone, just there are fans copy paste of it, which they dont last long or not 100% complete, one way or another

[pseudo goblet]

What about that fangame where you play as a gym leader

[hasty anchor]

That exists? That does sound pretty cool.

[pseudo goblet]

https://youtu.be/e7OewOaMtC8?si=PKfoRhWXutMg7ccT

You do get Dragon type Aggron line

[mighty storm]

gym of mine got an update

with new moves

[pseudo goblet]

Or, getting to fight them?

[hasty anchor]

Oooh, that does sound cool

[mighty storm]

Example of one of the this gym of mine exclusive moves

[pseudo goblet]

Was the game name really ‘Gym of Mine’???

[mighty storm]

resetting the file though, gonna choose a different type

[pseudo goblet]

Bug

[hasty anchor]

I don't know what kind of gym i'd even run

Actually; what type do I give off?

[pseudo goblet]

You get to pick one of all 18 types, then you get to pick one of the three selection of starters from the type you chose

[mighty storm]

Fighting signature move is dragon dance but adds special atk as well

[hasty anchor]

Ah, neat. Though, question was mostly along the lines of me asking what kind of type you think I give off.

[pseudo goblet]

Oh, as in, what vibe you give ‘us’ impression of??

[hasty anchor]

Yeah!

[pseudo goblet]

Okay yeah lmao, Im slow but pick the MO back up

[hasty anchor]

Cause I see Copper as like, someone who likely trains grass types, for example, Yami as a ghost-type, and so on

[pseudo goblet]

Torchic mostly

So Fire lol

[hasty anchor]

Ahh yeah that makes sense

[pseudo goblet]

Whats mine to you guys

[hasty anchor]

I do go on a lot about Torchic

Well, I'd say bug-type

[pseudo goblet]

Grass and Bug? Lol

[hasty anchor]

More bug than grass, really, but I do imagine you would like fighting types as well if you can believe it

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus what you’d say me and Symph would be?

[pseudo goblet]

Why fighting

[hasty anchor]

Tokusatsu, mostly lol

All those flashy moves

[pseudo goblet]

Fair

https://tenor.com/view/kamen-rider-fire-gotchard-kamen-rider-gotchard-kamen-rider-fire-gotchard-finisher-gif-1679038845022289082

Yeah cause irl Im like, the least physically capable, fighting might not be my strong suit, I’d argue I could be dark

Nasty Plot being my signature move

Thats it really

[hasty anchor]

Ooh, neat

[pseudo goblet]

Topic aside, Just pick whatever you like, seeing you re playing these games for research anyway, better make it enjoyable

The gym type you pick does limit your team choices, so

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, that's alright! Though it'll be interesting agonizing over the choices

[mighty storm]

switched to psychic with Raltz as my starter

psychic gym gets an 85 base power special attack that sets up psychic terrain on SE hit 😮

[hasty anchor]

As it turns out I think the place to find it got struck down

Welp

[mighty storm]

oof

[hasty anchor]

wait nevermind we fixed it

[frail chasm]

I wish ultra beasts had hidden abilities

[hasty anchor]

I feel like Beast Boost being the only ability they have really highlights how otherworldly they are already

[pseudo goblet]

Beast Boost not good enough??? What???

[hasty anchor]

That being said, having hidden abilities be different more common abilities would be neat.

Kinda like saying "Yeah, rare individuals can play by our rules too"

[pseudo goblet]

Hmm, Kartana with Sharpness

That seems kinda better than Beast Boost

Passive boost vs Kill-boost

[hasty anchor]

Like say, Nihilego having Liquid Ooze, Xurkitree having the Lightningrod ability, Buzzwole having Guts, etc.

[frail chasm]

I just want variety

[hasty anchor]

Variety's a good reason

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/nihilego-pokemon-pokemon-sword-and-shield-pokemon-sun-and-moon-gif-25769620

Space jelly

[hasty anchor]

Imagine showing this to someone who only played a little of the games and saying "This is a real living creature"

[frail chasm]

I love kartana specifically because of pokerouge

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt must been very busy to be skipping interest topic like this lol

[frail chasm]

He is a MENACE in pokerouge because he gets sharpness and beast boost

[frail chasm]

Funny hat

:3

[hasty anchor]

please do not put this thing on your head

[frail chasm]

Sharpness as a passive so he gets both at the same time

[hasty anchor]

Pokerogue's another one I been meaning to look at

Hmm!

[frail chasm]

It’s addicting ngl

[pseudo goblet]

But, I’d be one step closer to be like my favorite(?) comic villain

[hasty anchor]

Might as well get the good stuff out of the way before I punish myself with grimdark nonsense in fangames

[frail chasm]

There’s 3 tiers of shiny

And shinies actually do something

[pseudo goblet]

What was the reward again

Better gacha pull was it

[fading stratus]

lemme think zane

[frail chasm]

No, you get a item at the end of each battle and they have a chance to upgrade

The higher your luck (which shinys give) the higher the chance

[fading stratus]

I think symph kinda gives vibe of fighting type pokemon

you give like grass vibe

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

summer gives vibe of like flying?

[frail chasm]

What do I give 👽

[fading stratus]

raz gives electric vibes

[pseudo goblet]

Reason for Raz’s???

[fading stratus]

idk she just feels like that

[hasty anchor]

Oh that's surprising

But yeah, I suppose my ideals can fit with those who communicate with their fists

[pseudo goblet]

Btw, Bolt yours from me would be Electric and Dark, reasons you’d lnow lol

[fading stratus]

dark yeah ofc

[hasty anchor]

Might as well scheme a team in a teambuilder going off that

[fading stratus]

i thought you'd think of me as poison or dark

[pseudo goblet]

Also, You are a troll to me

[hasty anchor]

Not for the fangame, just for fun

[fading stratus]

not electric but electric makes sense I suppose

[fading stratus]

I'm troll to everyone

just ask anyone in gen

[fading stratus]

word me @copper viper

[pseudo goblet]

You’re like one of the few people here names with elemental words lol

Next would be Yami

[fading stratus]

yeah

[pseudo goblet]

I mean, between you and me are like, friendly trolling, not toxic relation

Although Ig I’d fit poison if Dark wasnt an option, if people consider NSFW as poisonous subject

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Also bolt, whats your thought if UBs had normal abilities, like we already say Kartana with Sharpness is just perfect choice

[fading stratus]

light metal

[pseudo goblet]

For Kartana?

[fading stratus]

yes

its a light metal

https://tenor.com/view/da-dum-tss-drum-drummer-drumming-gif-15912645

[pseudo goblet]

Aware of the joke lol but would it be better than Sharpness

[fading stratus]

it wouldnt be good at all

lmao

noone wants kartana to be better than it already is

sharpness is a really good ability

kartana is so good that it made fucking leaf blade good

[hasty anchor]

I'm just in awe of Annhilape just, existing

Like, Primeape was chugging along being angry as usual

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda feel like Intimidate suits Blace- whatever the clowns name is

[fading stratus]

blacephalon

blacephalon is one of the UBs that was insane in singles but doo doo in doubles

[hasty anchor]

And then somehow it unlocked limitless power by becoming something of a spirit, all so that excess rage can be put to use in a body not held back by physical limitations

It just becomes Akuma

[fading stratus]

blacephalon should get magician its a funny ability

[hasty anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/akuma-street-fighter-gif-8623812

[fading stratus]

d gray man moment

we thought of different akuma

[hasty anchor]

It's one of those evolutions where both design and playability just come together, and the picture is beautiful

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/annihilape-pokemon-monkey-pokemon-horizons-anime-gif-6036064860088932371

[hasty anchor]

Going off what i do know:

Rage Fist can exceed even the power of Explosion should Annhilape stay in the fray for long
It has the most painful Final Gambit, owing to it having the highest HP stat among those who learn it
Its stats are well-adjusted and a logical step from Primeape, even if it does lose a bit of speed
Ghost/Fighting is still a great type considering how scary Marshadow showed us

[pseudo goblet]

It had to be right arm too lol

[hasty anchor]

And yeah, a right hook coming off of this ape will hurt

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/annihilape-pokemon-pokemon-horizons-fighting-cool-gif-14440774453511522252

[hasty anchor]

I actually left the 6th slot blank, cause I was thinking about the whole deal with Gym Leaders in Paldea having a mon that doesn't fit their usual type, yet they Terastalize it into a specialized type. And I kept agonizing over what it'd be for me

[hasty anchor]

Well I guess some things never change for these angry knuckleheads lol

[pseudo goblet]

2 of these JUST evolve btw, and this is the first thing they do

[hasty anchor]

I'm guessing they still have yet to learn about holding in that anger.

And THEN you let it all out with one single punch

[pseudo goblet]

Then all three of them got KO by Liko’s newly evolve Hattrem brutal swing

[hasty anchor]

Well, that's definitely a way to get KO'd

All at once. By a hat!

[pseudo goblet]

Make sense tho, Hattrem hates violent element, assume that boost her power, from three of them 😅

[hasty anchor]

Sure enough, even if they were to hold in that anger, they still feel it. And the hat really takes the "no drama" thing very seriously

[fading stratus]

here's my dark type e4 team

[hasty anchor]

Mega Evolution
Well jeez, I feel left out

Pretty cool stuff though!

[fading stratus]

well yeah ace has to be a mega

ofc

[hasty anchor]

I probably could Mega Evolve Blaziken, but really, Blaziken as is would already be perfect

[pseudo goblet]

[hasty anchor]

Green Hydreigon!

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Also, still dumb AF, that gen 3 only have THREE new electric line

[hasty anchor]

Yeah it's dumb

But not as dumb as Sinnoh having very, very few fire-types

[fading stratus]

And the gangly basilisk boy

https://tenor.com/view/heliolisk-pokemon-electric-normal-lizard-gif-26451438

[fading stratus]

I do like the sun lizard

[hasty anchor]

I'll probs do fire this time!

[last musk]

Wdym you got plenty of options... You got ponyta, chimchar, magmar...

(magmar is post game only)

[pseudo goblet]

More like, mon debut in the gen lol

[fading stratus]

isnt ponyta version exclusive too

[pseudo goblet]

Wtf

[last musk]

I cannot for the life of me remember

Gen has starraptor and lucario though so you're not hurting for ice steel and grass counters

But yeah, it's odd

[fading stratus]

[last musk]

Simply make the correct choice of starter tbh

[fading stratus]

The team does not need to be stronger jesus

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokémon-darmanitan-flamethrower-angry-cat-gif-2699169061828627176

[hasty anchor]

[pseudo goblet]

Go’s monke is a menace

[hasty anchor]

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Well, aint mine just gonna be the easiest to beat

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Assuming I went the bug route, Grass tho

[last musk]

Dear lord your guys teams would kill people

[fading stratus]

I like good mons

[last musk]

I still don't even know what my favourite type is

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-dragonite-anime-angry-rage-gif-7380119

[fading stratus]

https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/plan/#home+overqwil+nidoking+crobat+amoonguss+nihilego+gengar-mega

[last musk]

We aren't supposed to talk about the manga and spin off animes

[fading stratus]

adventures gym leaders were a menace

[pseudo goblet]

Didnt Lance Hyper Beam a person in Johto games

[fading stratus]

grass would be like the most competitive team if I make it probably

because rillaboom lmao

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

[fading stratus]

my ace would be ogrepon

[hasty anchor]

Ogerpon~

[pseudo goblet]

Realize Kitakami is so retro they dont have Gyms or E4

[fading stratus]

it'd be like this

again no repeats

[pseudo goblet]

Amoonguss looks weird

[fading stratus]

lol

[hasty anchor]

Ayyyy Whimsicott

[last musk]

This would be mine

[fading stratus]

oh no megas?

I like to put mega or legendary as ace

because y'know ace

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokémon-bug-gou-goh-gif-18816989

[fading stratus]

zane I lied normal would probs be best

[last musk]

mega kangaskahn
Actual war crime team

[fading stratus]

snorlax could be horoark

[pseudo goblet]

Damn, I was about to make you guys do a normal team, then Jot drops the Bug team and make me hold

[fading stratus]

mama kangaroo the goat

[pseudo goblet]

Cant Ditto use transform on team member, you know, copy a second Mega Kangaskhan

[fading stratus]

ditto cant even mega

my bug type team would be like this zane

[pseudo goblet]

Lil bee

Jesus

[hasty anchor]

Actually wait let's cut out Azumarill for Pelliper

I dunno if Azumarill lives near the sea

[spice rivet]

So close, will be able to finish it tomorrow pog

[fading stratus]

how many mons are there again

[hasty anchor]

Also ayyyy nice work Yoz

[pseudo goblet]

Oh nooooooo… I shouldve use the mid evos to do this

[pseudo goblet]

1025 I think

[fading stratus]

huh neat

he finished all 1025 mons

[pseudo goblet]

AND I NEED RUINED LEGENDARIES, FUCK

[spice rivet]

@fading stratus i couldnt tell you tbh since the dexs have mons that overlap too. But overall count is 1025

[hasty anchor]

And yeah, I definitely think Terastalizing Dragonite into a water type would be fitting

[fading stratus]

the 1025 is the ones you caught right

[spice rivet]

Ye

[fading stratus]

really cool that you have all 1025

[spice rivet]

And/or registered

[pseudo goblet]

Yozzoy you got special Magearna already?

[spice rivet]

The only mons Im missing are the Violet Indigo Disk Paradoxs, Crown and Boulder

[last musk]

Alternatively for ghost type I'd go with this

[spice rivet]

Ye, I got that a decent while back

[hasty anchor]

Ayyy thats cool

[pseudo goblet]

Its still going right

[hasty anchor]

Yeah I've been just doing fully evolved stuff for mine, on the hypothetical "final" lineup

[spice rivet]

Ya, its a permanent thing iirc

[hasty anchor]

Were I just the bottom rung this would be less

Sableye's cool~

[pseudo goblet]

Aight that make me feel ease

[hasty anchor]

Love how much of a gremlin it is

https://tenor.com/view/sableye-pokemon-colosseum-xd-battle-gif-21085999

[spice rivet]

Anyways, I work tomorrow so night! And happy hunting on the dex filling.

[pseudo goblet]

Im kinda treating the special form as the shiny, even tho its not lol

[hasty anchor]

You punch it in the face and it just comes creeping back

[pseudo goblet]

Gn

[hasty anchor]

See ya!

[fading stratus]

gn yozz

my symphkun aka fighting type team would be like this

[hasty anchor]

Yeah that'd be cool!

Just reminds me

I love how in Stadium, Poliwrath's animations is just, constantly flexing

(Unfortunately the GIF selection in discord doesn't give me stadium poliwrath)

[fading stratus]

poliwrath is the goat

really like that guy

he just angy

[last musk]

If you're wondering why I went doublade, I find it with evolite more interesting than agieslash

[fading stratus]

yeah makes sense

[hasty anchor]

It literally is just Poliwhirl but bigger, and yet it's got a lot of personality

It really is the goat

[fading stratus]

doublade is still cool

[hasty anchor]

Doublade is really neat

I actually would prefer it over Aegislash

How does Aegislash forget to have high DEF when battle ready?

Meanwhile Doublade is always got high ATK and DEF

[last musk]

50 sword for both special and physical, 150 shield for both

Doublade only had 49 special defence, but has 150 defence

With evolite, that's 225 defence

[pseudo goblet]

I still need Shiny Aegislash line 💀
