oh fuck it's a wobbuffet

I know I could just swap forever vs Wobbuffet since it doesn't have Shadow Tag yet

but like

the risk is very high

[pseudo goblet]

Why not just catch it and release it

[tacit sphinx]

trainer mon

[pseudo goblet]

Oh f

[normal cave]

what risk just swap until it struggles

[tacit sphinx]

but

that's boring

[normal cave]

mmmm, boring yet efficient strat, or risk your mons lives

tough choice

[pseudo goblet]

Would you rather mentally punch yourself for losing a mon or do the boring strategy

Oh wait Bruial said the same

[normal cave]

same braincell

[sonic inlet]

He and Ho-oh were part of the same cinematic art

[icy heath]

@pseudo goblet got 4 new shinies

[hasty anchor]

Hoothoot~

[pseudo goblet]

How you got Veluza lol

[fading stratus]

She swam in a lake

[pseudo goblet]

Then Im built different

Fast travel to a sea shore and just saw a green feesh

Exactly same spot and method for my Dragalge lol

[fading stratus]

[tacit sphinx]

You know what Pokemon I like from a newer game despite it being shit

Thievul

It’s cute

You know what’s tragic though

They really Sneaselled this poor fucker in Gen 8

[icy heath]

It was off the shore of a cliff so no close by standing or fast travel. I just repeatedly clicked to hover then to fly then to hover then to fly so I can stay low to the lake and spawn more feesh

[pseudo goblet]

Helpful enough when against Lunala, only when you go in full health and team is good

Otherwise, its meh lol

[tacit sphinx]

It’s not in gen 7

[pseudo goblet]

Dynamax adventure Raz

[hasty anchor]

Yeah it's super tragic how that is

[tacit sphinx]

What’s that

[hasty anchor]

Has no muscle to speak of to aid in it's robbin' antics

Oh it's

Uh

[pseudo goblet]

Basically, uh, postgame content

[hasty anchor]

You know those Max Raid battles? It's like that, except it's kinda like a roguelike gauntlet

[tacit sphinx]

Never did raid battles

Dynamax is cringe, I never used it

[hasty anchor]

Pick a rental to see you through a tunnel and battle several dynamaxxed mons to get to the end where a Legend waits for you

[pseudo goblet]

Its the only way to find shiny Lunala Solgaleo and Necrozma in mainline rn

Basically, I do shiny hunt, allow myself to do vgc with shiny only team, Bolt went and drag me getting a Shiny Lunala

[tacit sphinx]

I’m actually the dude with the ponytail

Fuck

What’s his name

He has Obstagoon

[hasty anchor]

Piers!

[tacit sphinx]

Ye

[hasty anchor]

I just like how Dynamax can be used by anything, really.

Though now that's a little less unique now that Terastalization runs off a similar idea of accessibility

[pseudo goblet]

The guy that chose to do boring style and ended dragging his town into low income travel sight

Love Piers btw

[tacit sphinx]

It’s why “Rose is just a misguided dude” pisses me off as a take

Like nah he condemned a town to poverty out of spite

[hasty anchor]

It's definitely a take, alright

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-obstagoon-piers-cute-chin-scratch-gif-11776599219368324826

[hasty anchor]

It really isn't everyday you get Gym Leaders that make a big impact on players, but Sword/Shield does this with really, just about every single one, more or less

[pseudo goblet]

I just realize its gonna be another year within a new Dark type gym leader

[hasty anchor]

But then again, that's more that how characterization evolved over time for the series than anything else. Can't just keep having the local gym leader just hang out at the back of the gym waiting on you to just waltz on by for that one single interaction, can we?

[tacit sphinx]

Which is why Gen 2 has really good Gym Leaders

[hasty anchor]

Very much!

Makes me wonder why they went back for RSE and DPpT

[mighty storm]

lets go

[pseudo goblet]

Oooh, speaking of Dark type

[mighty storm]

just need 1 more of the ex

and 1 more jasmin, and the item

[pseudo goblet]

Summer and I same idea just now, time to pull packs lol

I am pretty close to getting the whole eeveelutions

Also yeah Im still trying to get Sylveon

[hasty anchor]

For an ancient sea lily, it's surprisingly lively

[pseudo goblet]

She was already Gmax btw

[icy heath]

Oh my god you need to do like 9 raids for one soup???

[pseudo goblet]

This is, so not the route I need

Golurk Max Knuckle SOMEHOW didnt OHKO an A-Sandslash

God why do mons I like sucks

Ig the Sandslash did receive one or two Coaching buff

[mighty storm]

got the second copy of this item yay

[pseudo goblet]

Okay I just might keep it, pick Butterfree, team gets Gloom and Blaziken for support

And Lunala almost wipes the team while Im typing…

One swift and a moongeist did this

117

Nothing

Now I wonder if Shiny Lunalas are at all time low stock because of vgc

[pseudo goblet]

Plus wondering if Bolt watched videos of peoples DA to get what Im dealing with lol

G-Weezing has Misty Surge??? Its not just the funny gas??

118, wth why is this good so far

Still nothing

[pseudo goblet]

119

[normal cave]

[pseudo goblet]

Nah

Btw Im feeling sleepy already

[normal cave]

your health is more important

[pseudo goblet]

Reach 120th first~

[icy heath]

Why is it 28C in my apartment

[normal cave]

because the weather is fucked

[icy heath]

wtf

[normal cave]

time to shiny hunt kyogre to fix it

[icy heath]

Ah that explains it, I only have shiny groudon and rayquaza on pokemon go

[normal cave]

well there you have it

can't break the drought without a drizzle

[mighty storm]

bat and egg

[icy heath]

And cutest sentret

The child

[spice rivet]

Also, did some RNG manips in ORAS for these

Just need to do Xern and Yvetal in USUM so I have everything prior from gens 1 - 7 (that were available as shiny outside of DA)

[icy heath]

@pseudo goblet omg I found an outbreak of polchagheist with the rare version, and I found a shiny

[mighty storm]

congrats

[pseudo goblet]

hell yeah~~

[pseudo goblet]

Who is excited for worlds

[pseudo goblet]

^ how many hours left

[outer eagle]

9

[fading stratus]

I'm ready for Incineroar to win it's fourth world

[outer eagle]

smh time for amoonguss' 4th

[fading stratus]

Amoongus is a funny mon

People even play it in Miraidon teams

Which sounds wild to me

[pseudo goblet]

Heh, spore cant work in Electric terrain finally worked its way into my core memory

Watch me forgot during practice later

[outer eagle]

Grassy halving some specific ground attack powers is the one secondary i often forget

prolly cuz EQ has gotten less common since Stomping Tantrum

or was it high horsepower

[mighty storm]

btw when are we likely to get reveals at worlds?

Closing ceremony yeah?

[fading stratus]

Yeah

Should be new games

Or a new Mon

Well new gen

[fading stratus]

EQ and bulldoze

[pseudo goblet]

Ah yes, 2025’s Meltan

That just mysteriously show up in one of the spinoffs one day also

[fading stratus]

[outer eagle]

I meant as in the damaging ground move that semi-replaced eq as the widespread standard option

Tho obviously not having your damage cut in half when facing monke or bulu is a nice bonus

[normal cave]

honsepower on caly

[fading stratus]

Its just high horsepower and whatever doesn't get HH uses stomping

Worlds in 2 hour 45

I... guess we're complaining about Ilima, now??

[mighty storm]

Held items confirmed from the demo

In case anyone was wondering if held items would be in ZA

Also the rogue megas will aim at the trainer, so be careful

Mega evolution while strong is only a limited time transformation with a gauge that depletes while you are in it. Mega evolving in the rogue mega battle also caused the boss to be stunned for a bit

Oh and you receive Absolite for beating the rogue mega absol in case that is relevant to anyone's playthrough team
coughmecough

[spice rivet]

Going for a shiny Absol right off the bat? Best of luck with that hunt.

[mighty storm]

Also the Rogue Mega Absol was level 25 in the demo

[spice rivet]

I wish Home compatibility was available right off the jump, I'd love to use a Shiny Larvitar or shiny Skrelp that I caught in Scarlet

[sonic inlet]

That does make sense

[spice rivet]

That or chain fish shiny Skrelp in Y and bring it all the way up into Home just so I could have old Kalos meet new Kalos

[sonic inlet]

Sad that there's no abilities tho

Bc now mawile hits like a squeaky toy

[spice rivet]

I think a new ability system wouldve been cool for an action RPG version of Pokemon since I don't think the traditional Abilities would work in this game (or atleast not all of them)

[mighty storm]

The demo in particular confirmed berry and the obvious mega stones for held items, but there is definitely more in game

[spice rivet]

But ah well

[mighty storm]

Lucario given to you in the demo against rogue mega absol is 28 compared to the absol's level 25

and I think you get to keep it after

@pseudo goblet we got ZA demo stuff

[fading stratus]

Goodnight

[outer eagle]

Really hasn't started a single feature match yet

[fading stratus]

well yeah they do song and dance at the start

joe is using a spicy team supposedly huh

they showed EU players and didn't show Michael Kelsch holy

german hate is real

or well italian glazing

nvm

@pseudo goblet

[outer eagle]

Did they just figure out backup features

[fading stratus]

riley factura vs juan salerno in backup feature

[fading stratus]

well pokemon used to do backup features

but it had the problem of backup feature

as in backup games finishing before main games

rn its parallel streams

main stream

double special vs double physical

lmao

[golden lance]

Oh shit worlds

[fading stratus]

yeah

backup feature is csr zama mirror lmao

[golden lance]

Damn this game was crazy

[fading stratus]

that latam guy playing insane choccy

[outer eagle]

imagine if unnerve also blocks leftovers

[fading stratus]

I wonder what wolfey is playing

[outer eagle]

incineroar most likely

[fading stratus]

well I meant the restricted duo

[golden lance]

ERIC'S GETTING READ LIKE A BOOK

[fading stratus]

paul kinda has to make these hard reads tbh

because if he doesnt this matchup doesnt look that good

YES I EXPECTED RAGING BOLT

HOLY SHIT

backup feature ended before main stream

[fading stratus]

holy shit choccy your guy did it

[outer eagle]

close game

[golden lance]

Latam sweep babyyyyyyy

[fading stratus]

both features were won by latam people

which is funny

[golden lance]

I'm being swayed

Kinda want the switch 2 now

[fading stratus]

[golden lance]

I'm falling for the propaganda

[fading stratus]

the animations look really smooth dont they

[golden lance]

Crisp crisp 59 fps

Console's not regionlocked right?

[fading stratus]

idts

[golden lance]

I'm prob just buying game at a 3rd party so that i dont have to pay the 10$ latam tax

[fading stratus]

just wait for a bit smh

I really like them putting feraligatr animation as a transition

[icy heath]

[golden lance]

Black friday should make it cheaper yea?

[fading stratus]

if black friday is so good why is there no violet thursday

[fading stratus]

it should yeah

[golden lance]

Do i buy shit from shoppee

40usd totk is tempting

[fading stratus]

but switch 2 is so new I wonder if it'll actually be in BF sale

🤔

looks like wolfey won r1

[golden lance]

Btw bolt

Do you mind pinging me whenever a round starts?

Job's wifi covers discord but not yt

So i have to be on data whenever

[fading stratus]

I would but it's 11:17 rn so I might sleep after r2

but I'll ping you for r2

[golden lance]

Ah its fine

Ty

[mighty storm]

Hopefully the absol shiny hunt isnt too tough

[fading stratus]

very wishful

[golden lance]

Inb4 all mega evolvable mons are shiny locked

Oh wait

Champs rentals will never be shiny

So you can flex that you bought the 70 usd game

[mighty storm]

With luck maybe I will accidentally find one without hunting like I did when I ran into a shiny stantler in PLA

[fading stratus]

looks like 1 game left to complete unless they havent updated it

[mighty storm]

(who was on my team for the playthrough cuz I wanted that weird deer)

[fading stratus]

choccy

[golden lance]

Me

[fading stratus]

r2 should be after that

[golden lance]

Do they skip the timer if all games finish?

[fading stratus]

idts

I'm looking MUs here

https://standings.stalruth.dev/2025/worlds/masters/

[mighty storm]

Is mega absol good btw?

[fading stratus]

no

[mighty storm]

oof

[golden lance]

Yea its one of the worse ones

[fading stratus]

its good for ingame playthrough

ig

[golden lance]

Btw bolt where's the mega kingambit leaks at?

[mighty storm]

Plus new battling system in ZA and no comp in ZA anyways so should be fine for the playthrough

[fading stratus]

they all died

[golden lance]

then the post game is just a fight against wolfey con perish

[fading stratus]

the funny part about mega absol is that it has less stats than mfing archaeops

[hasty anchor]

At least Absol isn't a quitter

Archaeops just, gives up if it gets punched too hard

[outer eagle]

relatable archeops

[fading stratus]

so do you

[hasty anchor]

[icy heath]

@pseudo goblet quick, claim the farifarig

[outer eagle]

you know what they say...

• Conkeldurr, probably

[fading stratus]

ryu

bets on how many NA players will be on top 8

holy side stream is so stacked

[hasty anchor]

I really miss Sky Uppercut

[outer eagle]

this year's EU has been more successful overall right?

so i'd say like 2

[hasty anchor]

It's not even that great of an attack, but I just love the idea of a Shoryuken

[fading stratus]

NA has had not good records in recent past years

last year I think NA had 1 in t8

and even that was canadian not even american

the year before that it was 0 iirc

[outer eagle]

covid got them sadge

[fading stratus]

this is such a stacked side stream

@golden lance side stream live

but not main stream

[hasty anchor]

Didn't know Navarre was a trainer

Was being the Scarlet Swordsman not enough to pay rent?

[golden lance]

Ty

[outer eagle]

as opposed to azure sniper?

[fading stratus]

Ice Rider Kyogre vs Ice Rider ???

this could be finals

[fading stratus]

[hasty anchor]

Makes sense

[outer eagle]

e-speed does that to you

[swift jasper]

i want mr sus to win

my favorite grass

[hasty anchor]

So what's the logic on Low Kick?

I'm guessing when most potent options are heavy it's pretty good

[fading stratus]

this is literally the same team he played at NAIC

[fading stratus]

restricted pokemon are heavy

so it'll generally be 120 bp

also zama

[swift jasper]

sigh, fat shaming

[fading stratus]

it resists both e speed and outrage

[outer eagle]

them restricted be overly heavy for no reason

it makes sense with anime sizes but with in-game models it's jarring to think about

[golden lance]

They're condensed

[fading stratus]

please start already

its been 10 minutes since they showed the teams

[outer eagle]

we had to wait through a lot more yapping at the beginning of the stream

this is nothing in comparison

[fading stratus]

germany vs italia

[outer eagle]

ah yes...

languages i cannot comprehend

[fading stratus]

CIR Sun 2-0s CIR Rain in side stream

[outer eagle]

Koraidon > Kyogre

[fading stratus]

Wolfey lost r2

[golden lance]

Just reconnected is that cornerstone pon?

[fading stratus]

yeah

hope its protect fest lmao

it sounds so funny

ooh well terrain died

lmao

CSR Zama beats CSR Zama 2-0

[golden lance]

That body press anim is so funny

[outer eagle]

that protect screwed him kekw

[fading stratus]

not really

[golden lance]

Yea

[fading stratus]

terrain ended that turn

so that protect was whatever

[golden lance]

Without terrain he died

No?

[fading stratus]

body press wasnt ohko regardless

so that protect didnt matter

[outer eagle]

2 body press was

and he was faster

[fading stratus]

yeah but terrain ended that turn

[outer eagle]

the turn before that

actually

[fading stratus]

yeah terrain ended on protect turn

I went back and checked

[outer eagle]

yeah ig that didn't matter

[fading stratus]

so it was whatever

do I sleep or watch 1 more round

[outer eagle]

smh boltz was glazing michael and man got 2-0ed

[fading stratus]

Michael woulda won if it stuck to Mirai CIR smh

he lost to Marco in last round of NAIC too iirc

arch enemy for real

I lied

[outer eagle]

we know

[fading stratus]

I probably remembered seeing both on stream

just different rounds

[golden lance]

Draco miss

BABY GREW UP

HER LITTLE SMILE 🥺🥺🥺

2013 vs 2025 https://t.co/dNvbDXJQU4

vxTwitter / fixvx · Aug 15, 2025, 7:28 PM

[normal cave]

why does the smile in zaza look so....

detached/uncanny?

[placid junco]

The likely in universe answer is trauma

The actual reason is probably that gamefreak isn’t great at facial expressions

[sleek sky]

a little too toothy

da chompers are out

[placid junco]

Mhm

I’m still just so happy my favorite little glorp shitto is becoming a major NPC worthy of being on the box art

[normal cave]

her teeth were out in xy too and that smile looks fine

[placid junco]

Bottom row isn’t

[normal cave]

true

[placid junco]

But I see what you mean

[normal cave]

I thought it was buck teeth in xy

as if her poor dental health shows

'cause homeless girl with no healthcare

[placid junco]

Ye

[normal cave]

it made sense

I am happy to see her doing well, just wish the smile wasn't so creepy

[placid junco]

Most of the other footage of her has her with fairly normal expressions

[normal cave]

the xy postgame sucked to play, but the story was great

then again wandering around luminose is kind of how I spent most of my time on xy anyways

[placid junco]

I do wonder how the time since Looker left her on her own again will have affected her

[normal cave]

can't be great for her

[placid junco]

It’s possible they’ve seen each other since but

Emma probably spent a lot of that time with just Mimi, Xerosic’s pokemon, and the two members of the Lumiose gang

Still think it’s hilarious she apparently beat those two in a fight so bad they begged her to be their boss

While she was still on the streets

[fading stratus]

@golden lance r7 btw if you haven't slept

[spice rivet]

No idea, decided to finally bite the bullet and get to it

[pseudo goblet]

[spice rivet]

I have every shiny Shiny and Mythical that can be caught with my OT prior to the Switch games (Except for Coliseum bonus disk Shiny Jirachi which was technically shiny locked but GF failed at that, will probably do later)

[pseudo goblet]

good to know

[spice rivet]

Ya, I was using Calyrex when I last played on ladder with my own team.

Also, some legendaries I only have one of and theyre part of the living dex

[pseudo goblet]

Oh you didn t meant like Home will snap you for having the Jirachi, ah

[spice rivet]

My UBs are in a seperate box

[fading stratus]

they probably are too lazy to implement that

[pseudo goblet]

oh I meant the Gen 2 ones lol

[icy heath]

Latias poggers

[pseudo goblet]

I was head scratching did Gen 2 really only had 2 legends

[fading stratus]

well 3 dawgs

[pseudo goblet]

nah just missing the trio

[fading stratus]

they dont even feel legendary

[pseudo goblet]

huh yozzoy have Zygarde?

or another box

[pseudo goblet]

too bad you and I have worst timezones for DA Zygarde

[spice rivet]

Lmao, I probably wont even attempt that

[pseudo goblet]

hoping ZA adds new way to get it? lol

[spice rivet]

Yup basically

Since it was featured in the anime

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/well-facts-gif-21517271

[fading stratus]

I'm ready for mega zygarde which doesnt need stone to mega

[spice rivet]

Current list

[pseudo goblet]

surely ZA can do BS and give free Shiny Lunala

[fading stratus]

yozz probably caught 360 legendary 500 mythicals and 1864 regular shinies after zane started doing DA for lunala

[spice rivet]

I need to start running DAs for Necrozma again. Kinda fell of it

[pseudo goblet]

The route Im using lets me do it solo so

[spice rivet]

Nice

[fading stratus]

I wish we get Ultra necro again

such a cool mon

[pseudo goblet]

Oi Bruial, talk with us using your account lol

[fading stratus]

I used to plau ultra necro back in gen 7 vgc

https://tenor.com/view/light-sun-and-moon-pokemon-ultra-sun-ultra-moon-gif-12165626086548047400

[outer eagle]

Hype moments and Aura the Pokemon

Not that that's a bad thing

[icy heath]

Is that Bahamat Zero

[fading stratus]

Yes

It's Bahamat Negative One

[icy heath]

[tacit sphinx]

Why are abilities in gen 9 so wild though

[pseudo goblet]

did Raz saw Ghouldengo lol

[fading stratus]

She saw miraidon

[tacit sphinx]

No, more like

Honestly

Garganacl

I forgot how fucking stupid its ability is

[tacit sphinx]

I have a weird question

How many mons in Gen 9 aren’t fully evolved

I feel like there’s a shitload of one-stages

[pseudo goblet]

postgame mons or no include

[icy heath]

Dondozo is clearly going to evolve into Dondonzo

[swift jasper]

dondunce-o

[warm sky]

9 if not counting paradox/legends

[pseudo goblet]

Togedemaru had Sturdy??? well good cause it tanked a Max phantasm from the bat

also, Lunala no.121

nothing

[tacit sphinx]

No no

Like

How many are pre evolutions

[warm sky]

Ohhh

[tacit sphinx]

I felt like the game had way more single stagers

Guess I was wrong

[warm sky]

T b f paradox and legends bloat the numbers

If anything gen 9 should've had more single stagers because some of these mons suck as evos

Like pawmi's line

[tacit sphinx]

I guess

I keep looking at Gen 9 and wondering why anyone plays it

Like why did they remove Pursuit

[pseudo goblet]

Shiny printer

[tacit sphinx]

I meant comp

[pseudo goblet]

Tera mind game

[icy heath]

Squawkabilly will unlikely evolve because of having 4 forms
Klawf/Bombirdier/Orthworm/Dondozo/Tatsugiri feels weird to evolve because story relevance
Cyclizar is supposed to be the non-paradox version of both Miraidon/Koraidon
Flamigo maybe, but also feels complete
Veluza is an asshole

[pseudo goblet]

Veluza

[tacit sphinx]

I forgor who here likes comp but

Unhinged Stunfisk take

[pseudo goblet]

Lunala No.122

nothing

[icy heath]

[warm sky]

That was gen 8

Also because gamefreak hates you

[pseudo goblet]

this whole journey alone helped my SwSh shiny collection

rn Im either getting Shiny G-Weezing, Togedemaru, Porygon and the stupid bat

also it took saying it out loud for me to realize getting Porygon as shiny would be annoying rn...

[tacit sphinx]

How many full odds do you have out of curiosity

[pseudo goblet]

you would think how tf can these defeat Lunala easily but its not the firepower, each DA I have 4 health, one mon death takes one health, these mon are easy enough to beat SO I have all 4 health going into the boss fight, I need the free chances to screw up or else

also Porygon with Foul Play melts Lunala somehow, like it take 3-4 turns

[pseudo goblet]

no idea lol

pretty sure I got Shiny charm before my first charm odds shiny

pretty sure no hunters here are that big of masochist so we all uses one buff or the other

[fading stratus]

physical fairies also have spirit break

so like that's not even true

[pseudo goblet]

what the fuck is Strange steam... it fucking missed on Lunala...

[fading stratus]

its a 95 accurate move

that has a chance to confuse

[pseudo goblet]

Weezing

[tacit sphinx]

I dunno if it’s still true but for a while in Gen 6+7 I tried to experiment with Granbull as a physical fairy

[fading stratus]

gweezing's signature move

[tacit sphinx]

Because it was the only Fairy with EQ

[pseudo goblet]

fuckkkkkkk

failed run

knew the route isnt perfect but DAMN

thats one more run that couldve been the Shiny

[tacit sphinx]

I wonder if Granbull still has that distinction

[fading stratus]

surprisingly still true

[tacit sphinx]

Wow

Go Granbull

[fading stratus]

I'm very tempted to make the tera fairy incineroar joke

[swift jasper]

the tera fairy incineroar joke

i was faster

💪

[fading stratus]

imagine if valiant got eq

[pseudo goblet]

on your screen maybe lol

[fading stratus]

singles players in shambles

[tacit sphinx]

I know Granbull sucks but still

[fading stratus]

thats the joke

[tacit sphinx]

I think that’s a cool niche

You know?

[fading stratus]

granbull gets intimidate

vroken

[swift jasper]

sigh zane that was the joke

[tacit sphinx]

I will never forgive Incineroar for power creeping literally every other Intimidate mon

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Im bad with joke sometimes lol

[fading stratus]

its so funny that incineroar powercrept landorus

atleast in doubles

[tacit sphinx]

Remember when Hitmontop was good in VGC

👵

[pseudo goblet]

wasnt it used sometime in Gen 8

[fading stratus]

hitmontop still has a small niche

it gets feint

[tacit sphinx]

My Intimidator at Melbourne Regionals 2016 was Arcanine 👵

[fading stratus]

when incin wasnt around yeah

raz you have gone to vg events?

holy shit

thats cool

[tacit sphinx]

Yeah

2015 I ran TR with Mega Ampharos

2016 idr the team overall but I used Mega Lopunny as the core

[fading stratus]

ah

I didnt really play until gen 7

but if I played gen 6 I probs woulda played Charizard X

funny mon'

[tacit sphinx]

I didn’t do too terribly all things considered

My attempt died in 2015 because I ran into another TR team and had no answer lmao

[pseudo goblet]

[tacit sphinx]

Let me think

Oh I remember another 2015 mon

I had uh… Escavalier

Pretty sure my TR setter was Porygon2

[fading stratus]

escavalier has like 145 atk

[tacit sphinx]

Yep

[pseudo goblet]

Raz surprisingly a bug catcher

[tacit sphinx]

No wait this must’ve been earlier than that

[fading stratus]

zane fun fact

[tacit sphinx]

It was before I graduated high school

[fading stratus]

escavelier is a world champ

[tacit sphinx]

So uh, must’ve been 2014?

[fading stratus]

2014 was uhh XY

[tacit sphinx]

Yep

That’s it then

[fading stratus]

did the game even have pory

[tacit sphinx]

I mean it clearly did if I used it

[fading stratus]

yeah true

[tacit sphinx]

What was that team

Mega Ampharos, Escavalier, Porygon 2, uh…

[fading stratus]

surely a fake outer

if its a TR team

[pseudo goblet]

oooof, this run might be dead as well

Ig Raz would like this

[tacit sphinx]

YES

It was Hariyama

[fading stratus]

what restricted do you think will win the worlds raz

tomorrow

[pseudo goblet]

jesus fuck this run is so dead, cant even get past Porygon safely

prob cause I forgot to use dmax lmao

1 life into Lunala, ooof

[tacit sphinx]

Worlds is on?

[fading stratus]

worlds is on anaheim

[pseudo goblet]

hope she only uses Magic coat, assuming Weezing didnt Taunt it

[tacit sphinx]

I don’t follow comp anymore

[fading stratus]

yesterday was day 1

[tacit sphinx]

All I like is GSC Smogon formats

Maybe RSE

[pseudo goblet]

what if, Pokemon Legends Johto vgc

[fading stratus]

well double restricted format is called GS Cup format

[pseudo goblet]

lmao, Lunala Magic coated Weezing Taunt

[tacit sphinx]

Don’t you toy with me, Bolt. I once beat Wolfe Glick at a hot-dog eating contest. I will end your soul.

[fading stratus]

no I'm not joking

ITS CALLED GS CUP FORMAT

because of collosseum or something

[tacit sphinx]

Not GS, I don’t care

[pseudo goblet]

DAMN IT, DEAD RUN

[fading stratus]

well raz

ho-oh is currently X-1

only ho-oh in the entire tournament I believe

[tacit sphinx]

GSC and RSE are my favourite formats because they’re just deep enough to be really mechanically interesting but not to the point that I need to play with a spreadsheet

[pseudo goblet]

Not just because nostalgia/bias? lol

[tacit sphinx]

I just bought a new Pokemon game I have never played

Legends Arceus

[pseudo goblet]

YOOOOO

DO A RUN

[tacit sphinx]

No Zane I thought I’d buy it and stare at the box for five hours before setting it on fire

What the fuck do you think I’m gonna do

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

so you buy to burn it?

[tacit sphinx]

I understand it gives a bunch of Gen 2 mons new things

[pseudo goblet]

oh no just playing something unlike mainline is great enough

why is my luck getting worse!!!

POISON JAB POISON EFFECT??? REALLY

Hold, Togedemaru having said move

trying something new

me stealing the hedgehog that would otherwise give to the Blaziken npc with Coaching

actually wow I shouldve done this sooner, Blaziken helps with Porygon

Bolt stat buffs helps with Foul Play right

[fading stratus]

yes

opponent's stat buffs

[pseudo goblet]

oof

not how I wanted it to be

123th

no blood bat

Oooooooooh @spice rivet @mighty storm

[pseudo goblet]

Noo?

[warm sky]

Well
He's British

[tacit sphinx]

Everyone else is Japanese style and he’s like the most English™️

[warm sky]

He's probably from Galar

[pseudo goblet]

Okay that, fair

[warm sky]

But it's the Meiji restoration

[tacit sphinx]

so does my character ever get to go home or have I just been teleported to the past to die of dysentery

[warm sky]

So probably just a dude who travelled for study

And shit

[pseudo goblet]

How much Japanese history does Raz knows lmao

[fading stratus]

probably a decent amount

[tacit sphinx]

If this is Meiji-restoration does that mean Unova sent black ships

[pseudo goblet]

That would be spoiler now isnt it

[fading stratus]

isnt raz a teacher on japanese sth sth

In theory? Yes

But yeah. PLA is meiji era Hokkaido

[pseudo goblet]

[tacit sphinx]

Oh wonderful do I get to see the genocide of the Ainu people

[pseudo goblet]

Uhhhhhhhhhhh

[warm sky]

Like the default outfit

And all the new mons are ainu

[tacit sphinx]

Is there a reason Cyrus’ family genetically lacks eyebrows

Gee I wonder what mon Raz is gonna first add to her team

[tacit sphinx]

I can’t do a nuzlocke or anything so

Oh god damn it someone’s causing thunderstorms

[pseudo goblet]

At best, people have said about Egypt theme but thats only Pidgeot

[tacit sphinx]

I feel like this is a worse teleported to another world than Mystery Dungeon somehow

I feel like being surrounded by people would make it way more reminiscent of your home life

APRICORNS MENTIONED

[pseudo goblet]

Raz encountered the fun part of PLA

Yeet your mons at trees and rocks

That isnt sarcasm

[warm sky]

You can. There's a few methods

[tacit sphinx]

Eh, I won’t

I don’t know how this game works compared to mainline titles

[pseudo goblet]

The game is pretty shit easy, just sayin

Just enjoy it, dw

You literally get accesses to trade evos no problems even

Well, I thought it would be for trainer battles

But the Togepi only got one attack in

I find it extremely weird that apparently Pokemon shrinking isn’t a capability of Pokeballs

They all just

always have the power to do that

[pseudo goblet]

Yes

[tacit sphinx]

Cool, cool
||would||

[pseudo goblet]

It would be weird if you didnt lol

[tacit sphinx]

either this or Caly Zama

Mirai Korai real secret sauce trust

someone went 4-4 with Mirai Korai Perish

[warm sky]

Volo?

[warm sky]

Wasn't that established as early as gen 1

[normal cave]

they shrink when you knock them out so that you can't hurt them any further

[normal cave]

the anime didn't show it, but they could always shrink

Move cooldowns persist when a Pokémon is switched out, meaning you can strategically swap out team members when moves are ready
It is faster to swap to your side Armaldo than reloading

[fading stratus]

they're just too lazy to make an actual reasonable explanation

because if mons can shrink at will then fights the way they are make no sense

[normal cave]

people are going to hotswap and run around like it's ultrakill

[normal cave]

mons fight the way they do for fun

they live for this shit

[fading stratus]

that's also another dumb explanation tbh

[normal cave]

what non-dumb explanation do you have for capturing wild animals and making them fight until they faint against other captured wild animals

pokemon gets nasty if you look closely at it

[fading stratus]

that's what I'm saying
the whole lore stuff is dumb

or well they're just too lazy to make an actual realistic explanation

[normal cave]

pokemon are so intelligent they can understand human speech, yet the same pokemon wind up on plates and are stuffed in pokeballs to fight

hell some pokemon are more intelligent than humans

you have a pallosand in usum that kidnaps children and turns them into its thralls, and speaks through the kidnapped children

you can capture one of its offspring
