[graceful osprey]

Can we just agree that James was the best team rocket member?

[sturdy sparrow]

yes

[wraith musk]

should've died but alr

[wraith musk]

yes

[atomic orchid]

We already have

[wraith musk]

there weren't any others lol

[keen kraken]

No one's ever said otherwise in here lol

[wraith musk]

yup

funy duo

[graceful osprey]

let's send the sniveling women back the the dark ages where they belong

[wraith musk]

nice jokes (some adult ones too)

and just dumbasses

[atomic orchid]

Why is Eric Stuart the best character in two shows?
Check out his Meta Knight compilation if you don’t believe me

[graceful osprey]

I never watched the kirby show

I'm assuming that's what you mean

[atomic orchid]

Just watch this

[graceful osprey]

I'll save the link and watch it later

AM at urgent care

[atomic orchid]

Imagine James with a Spanish accent

[graceful osprey]

perfect

Eh

It's not for anything serious

Just need a stitch

[graceful osprey]

I miss them

[atomic orchid]

Ngl I said this in another server, but I miss the Wild West of early dubbing.
Give me the bizarre accent choices, the shameless censor cover ups, the random thrown in jokes and gags. You don’t get stuff like early Pokémon/Digimon/Yugioh anymore. Everyone’s too faithful

[keen kraken]

I both agree and don't agree lol

[wraith musk]

really ?

[atomic orchid]

I miss Elvis Etamon. I miss the Pokémon actors catching magic monsters in one time slot, and fighting dinosaurs the next show with no change in voice

I miss making rural characters into southern belles

[brisk hedge]

You forget the part where they cut the episode where Ash caught 30 Tauros from the English dub

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/whatever-really-unimpressed-meh-blank-gif-1930030733966929934

[atomic orchid]

Look, that part sucks, but you gotta admit we had a lot of fun poking fun at the “shadow realm laser buzz saws” or the “jelly donuts”

[graceful osprey]

Ngl

I didn't read the rules

I just kinda

Apply the sane rules till I know it's ok

Truly iconic

[atomic orchid]

Blows that out of the water imo
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eSFiETC0eX8

[brisk hedge]

NGL, the shadow realm is easily the best thing to ever come out of censorship

[wraith musk]

ILL MAKE YOU A DONUT

https://tenor.com/view/akainu-one-piece-fight-gif-14236817

[atomic orchid]

No easier censor than “whatever it is I’m holding???”

[rugged comet]

I love when people use censorship to make the censored thing sound more horrifying

[wraith musk]

I like how censor sound is FFFFFF

so when someone says fuck

it sounds uncensored anyway

as the ff sound is still there

[atomic orchid]

Dragon Ball Z Kai. “You mean, he’s de…?” freezes frame for however long it takes to mention death
Kinda feel that got overshadowed by Blue Popo, but I think that requires acknowledging

[wraith musk]

what really 💀

how pathetic

[atomic orchid]

Yes

[rugged comet]

Like I heard of one scene in a Batman animated show where Batgirl was thrown off a building onto a car

[wraith musk]

no kid will know he meant dead

[rugged comet]

And that had to be censored, so the animation showed the inside of the car and had the sounds of her falling onto it

[atomic orchid]

They always cut the -ad off of dead and so you just have stuff like Chichi’s dad standing there with a stupid grin as he mentions Goku’s dead

[wraith musk]

oh and smthn else happened up there too

we don't talk abt that tho

[wraith musk]

wtf

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-rizz-reverse-gif-8956232310230181736

so your lovers dead

[atomic orchid]

Yep! Because she was supposed to crash through the windshield to break her fall. According to Bruce Timm censors for some reason we’re okay with her hitting pavement then being run over instead.

[rugged comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Ti9DRQWMc Found it

[wraith musk]

-chichi dad

[rugged comet]

She didn't hit the pavement

[wraith musk]

batman and Batgirl randomly on a roof and weird shit happened

[atomic orchid]

That was from an interview after the fact. The actual scene was a compromise

[wraith musk]

that was so weird even as a kid

like why

and they didnt censor that

[atomic orchid]

That episode was a nightmare scenario

That’s how they were allowed to get away with it

“All just a dream”

[rugged comet]

Anyways time to continue Unova

[brisk hedge]

How far are you?

[rugged comet]

2nd gym town

[atomic orchid]

That’s Cilan right?

[brisk hedge]

Did you beat Lenora yet?

[atomic orchid]

Or is it the normal gym?

[brisk hedge]

That’s one of the hardest gyms in the game

[atomic orchid]

Mostly because of the early mon choices

[rugged comet]

I caught this girl for it

Bad nature though

[brisk hedge]

And retaliate

[atomic orchid]

Watch for that

[atomic orchid]

Anyway it’s the weekend, so I’m taking a break from PIF to continue Kingdom Hearts 2. So I’ll be hanging here just to chat

[rugged comet]

Oh it's the hot guy again

[brisk hedge]

Sir he’s a child

[atomic orchid]

So is she

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-wait-what-gif-9000717621307637538

[atomic orchid]

So is this a Hot For Teacher moment?

Or a Don’t Stand So Close To Me moment?

[rugged comet]

probably first

Or both

[atomic orchid]

Also reiterate (close enough)

https://tenor.com/view/doofen-sh-mirtz-doof-doofeshmirtz-phineas-and-ferb-16-gif-26008498

[brisk hedge]

It’s a ||I’m in love with the villain|| moment

[wraith musk]

huh

[atomic orchid]

Those are both song refs btw

[wraith musk]

deletes him

[wraith musk]

I can only dream to have that majestic hair

the drip is basic and works tho

[atomic orchid]

Wait where did I get 15 from then all these years?

[rugged comet]

If there is one thing I don't like from phineas and ferb it's ferb and vanessa

[atomic orchid]

Yeah that one is… weird

[wraith musk]

alr guys I'll talk when I get home

[atomic orchid]

I can only dream to have hair. Destined to go bald

[wraith musk]

new sticker ?

[rugged comet]

Thats old

[keen kraken]

Don't worry, you can be a hat person!

[wraith musk]

I fear this man's presence

[atomic orchid]

DoofenSlayer?

[rugged comet]

Don't like where you're going with that

[keen kraken]

Power to force others to my will, that's all 🙂

[wraith musk]

Dr heinz Doofenshmirtz

most powerful man in the universe

[brisk hedge]

Then maybe don’t change your entire team every 2 seconds

[wraith musk]

I'll do it for free

[wraith musk]

I'm in

[wraith musk]

remove the fucking ice cream cone

and the gears

add a weavile

[rugged comet]

That's an old dragonite

[wraith musk]

he skipped fat day

[brisk hedge]

Not available until post game

[wraith musk]

idc

[atomic orchid]

Takes the phrase big bones literally

[wraith musk]

he's N

he don't care

[rugged comet]

Gee wonder how they came to that conclusion

[wraith musk]

idk he looks a bit off

[atomic orchid]

Cleanup on whatever city he was passing by that day

[rugged comet]

Omega ruby flash backs

[wraith musk]

'oh look a corpse'

let's skin it

and put it in a measuem

[rugged comet]

This shouldn't have made me laugh

[wraith musk]

even tho revives exist

[wraith musk]

reshiram disagreed

[brisk hedge]

I’m pretty sure that’s how you change Deoxy’s form in this game

[wraith musk]

uses blue flare

[brisk hedge]

I’m sure that won’t be important later

[rugged comet]

Totally

Dang that looks heavy how did people wear that

Did they steal from marowaks/cubones?

[wraith musk]

eat it

[wraith musk]

nah just bones

[brisk hedge]

There’s a theory that they had an accident while encountering Team Rocket

[rugged comet]

That's literally their only weakness

[atomic orchid]

Did he stutter?

[rugged comet]

You know what I would probably stay here reading too

[brisk hedge]

Good thing there’s only three that you can obtain at this point (since you didn’t pick Tepig)

[rugged comet]

Does he flip a coin to decide or what

[brisk hedge]

Fair warning: the final part of this puzzle is kind of stupid

[atomic orchid]

BRB. Need food badly.

[rugged comet]

It's pokemon I'm prepared for stupid puzzles

Dang this kid must have been sheltered cuz pokemon are literally everywhere

Forgot trainers can use items like this

[brisk hedge]

Scientists usually use X items in this game

[rugged comet]

Took a second, but I figured it out

Had to realise it wasn't talking about moving x amount of tiles

[brisk hedge]

Told you the final part of this puzzle was stupid

[rugged comet]

It just required some more thinking than the others

[brisk hedge]

Only reason I figured it out as a kid was because I noticed “hey, I haven’t had to talk to her to finish the puzzle yet”

[rugged comet]

My thinking was "If it's not tiles is it the bookcases I count?"

[brisk hedge]

I literally never thought of that until I herd someone say that it was the solution on a YouTube video

[rugged comet]

I like the detail of the books on top falling over

[brisk hedge]

I originally thought the solution was that the hint about finding it on your own was telling you to ignore the directions and just go talk to the one person you haven’t had to interact with yet.

[rugged comet]

I will say the speed up of IF has made normal games feel so slow

[brisk hedge]

At least it’s not as slow as Gen 4

[rugged comet]

About how many badges in do I get an exp share?

Might lose this fight

My highest level is 17

[unkempt egret]

two badges

with a second one near badge 7

[brisk hedge]

You get it in the next town

[rugged comet]

Good to know

[brisk hedge]

You need to do the battle company though

[rugged comet]

Sil might clutch up

...

[keen kraken]

eepy

[rugged comet]

It's -2 acc atm

I can survive

[brisk hedge]

It’s almost like Cheren gave you those chesto berries for a reason

[rugged comet]

Clutched up

[rugged comet]

Yeah

[brisk hedge]

YAY! Now time for the museum robbery

[rugged comet]

Yay

Not anything specific just bones

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/music-xylophone-dança-dance-skull-gif-15344545

[rugged comet]

I am going to waste so much time with this

[brisk hedge]

It’s a good thing you’re not in the middle of an urgent crisis or anything

[rugged comet]

you overestimate my ability to navigate

[graceful osprey]

Hey

Lenora

What game are you playing?

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-one-piece-zoro-zoro-zoro-smirk-one-piece-smirk-gif-26290707

[graceful osprey]

If you have a trade evolution I could boot up the opposite version oater and trade to help

[rugged comet]

Black, but I think I'll be fine without trade evos

[graceful osprey]

Ok

I like white more simply for white forest

[brisk hedge]

Can I just say that I despise trade evolutions

[graceful osprey]

Same

[rugged comet]

0 clue what the difference between the 2 are besides box legends atm, maybe I will when I play white

[rugged comet]

Same

[graceful osprey]

I love the way legends did it with linking cables

[graceful osprey]

Sawk and throgh
Cottonee and pettilil

Box legendaries

Iris and drayden

What else.....

[rugged comet]

I forget Sawk and Throgh exist

[graceful osprey]

everyone does

[brisk hedge]

Gothita and Solosis

[graceful osprey]

Yea

Was aboit to say that thanks

[rugged comet]

For now I'm planning on doing Black then White 2

[graceful osprey]

Vulababy and rufflett

Tornados and thunderous

You poor soul

You have vulababy

[brisk hedge]

Also you can get Sawk and Through in both versions, it’s just that one is significantly rarer than the other

[graceful osprey]

You can?

[brisk hedge]

And you have to look in rustling grass

[rugged comet]

I am fine with this

[graceful osprey]

Yea

[brisk hedge]

I prefer Sewaddle personally

[rugged comet]

Keep forgetting fairy types don't exist

[graceful osprey]

You have cottonee

Correct

[rugged comet]

I mean "Haven't been discovered"

[brisk hedge]

Though I suppose you are using the grass starter, so it’s an overlap either way

[rugged comet]

Yeah

[brisk hedge]

Plus, the next gym is bug type

[rugged comet]

I got a rock type with rock blast and hard stone

[brisk hedge]

||his ace is a grass type||

[graceful osprey]

Honestly

I don't like snivy in gen 5

Ok trade evolutions...

[wraith musk]

I love bw2

especially blazeblack 2 redux

drayano never fails

[graceful osprey]

Bouldure, gurrdurr
Karablast and shellmet

[wraith musk]

ew

trade evos

[graceful osprey]

I know

I'm just thinking who all is a trade in gen 5

[rugged comet]

Honestly didn't know gurrdurr was a trade evo

[graceful osprey]

Yep

[wraith musk]

boldore

[graceful osprey]

And it's a shame cause he's so cool

Thanknyou

I did forget spelling

So

I stopped playing uranuim

It's just

So bad

So bad that even I can't play jt

[wraith musk]

told you so

[graceful osprey]

Vanguard is much better

Level caps aside

The level cap is kinda annoying

But I'll get used to it

[rugged comet]

For Leafeon I assume

[brisk hedge]

“Oh what’s that, you wanted to use this Pokémon on your team. Well you’d better be able to meet up with somebody or give us more money for a second copy of the game and a second console”

[graceful osprey]

Fun thing

Black and white doesn't have eevee

You'd have to trade one in

I think

It might post game

Black and white 2 have eevee

But not 1

[wraith musk]

yup

[graceful osprey]

Hidden garden doesn't exist in bw

[brisk hedge]

And guess what else: Black and White 2 do have Eevee, but Pinwheel forest is a post game location

[graceful osprey]

Yea

[wraith musk]

PLAY BLAZEBLACK 2 REDUX

[graceful osprey]

It's great

[wraith musk]

PLEWSSSSE

[graceful osprey]

I did

Well

White 2 redux

But same thing

[wraith musk]

You better have completed the dex

[graceful osprey]

Nope

The only dex I've ever completed was gen 9s

[wraith musk]

all mons and you don't even

[graceful osprey]

?

[rugged comet]

I've never completed a dex besides IF, because of version exclusive mons

[wraith musk]

he put all mons available gen 1-5

[graceful osprey]

Yes I know

[wraith musk]

I've alr completed emeralds dex

[graceful osprey]

That's exactly why

[wraith musk]

I feel proud

[wraith musk]

no.

[brisk hedge]

I’ve completed the Moon dex and the Violet dex

[graceful osprey]

I don't wanna catch that many pokemon

[wraith musk]

do it

[graceful osprey]

Ignore have gen 9 has like

400 pokemon?

That's different I actually like gen 9

Not to say j don't like gen 5

It's just

Gen 5 feels....

Restraining?

[wraith musk]

[graceful osprey]

I l9ve thw freedom gen 9 gives me

[wraith musk]

ok I feel you

it do be like that

[graceful osprey]

You wanna go to the final area game start? Go ahead

Nobody's going to stop you

As an elden ring player, I really enjoy the freedom

[brisk hedge]

Except for all the trainers with wildly overleveled Pokémon

[graceful osprey]

Just

Don't fight them

You're not forced to

And you can bring a run away pokemon

[twilit hazel]

BW is pretty neat with how the entire Pokedex is just the new mons with none of the old. But I just wish some of them (especially the more common ones like Unfezant) were more fun to use

[rugged comet]

i just wish I saw less patrat at the start

[graceful osprey]

I wish boldore wasn't a trade evolution

I love Goliath

I forget jts name

[rugged comet]

I wish trade evos didn't exist

[graceful osprey]

Gigalith

That's its name

[brisk hedge]

I much prefer that to giving 1 million new forms to Gen 1 Pokémon

[twilit hazel]

I wish Escavalier and Accelgor weren't locked to the most specific trade evo of all time

[rugged comet]

Why were you hiding in a pile of leaves?

[graceful osprey]

Am am kinda sad that we got gen 6 legends and not gen 5 legends

We could've finally gotten the true origin dragon

[wraith musk]

I am

[wraith musk]

YOU DO FEEL ME

[brisk hedge]

Especially ones that require a held item. If I already have the item, the only thing the trade does is make it so people who can’t trade can’t get the evolution

[wraith musk]

yes

just add the fucking link cable alr

is it that hard ?

[rugged comet]

I am happy with gen 6 legends since it gives kalos another chance to be better

[twilit hazel]

Admittedly, as someone who loves Gen 5 but hates the discussion around it, I vastly prefer a Gen 6 Legends title

[graceful osprey]

I'm not saying gen 6 legends is a bad thing

[wraith musk]

same

[brisk hedge]

I’m sure they’ll do Gen 5 remakes next Gen

[wraith musk]

I love it too

[graceful osprey]

It's jusy

[wraith musk]

Ijust

want my completed 900 bst dragon

[graceful osprey]

I want the damn origin dragon

[wraith musk]

YESS

[graceful osprey]

They were all once the same being

Show me that being

[rugged comet]

Introducing legends Rayquaza next or smth

[graceful osprey]

Give me a cracked mon

[rugged comet]

Or legends Necrozma

[graceful osprey]

Legends rayquaze woils make sense

I l9ve autocorrect

Rayquaza and wouldn't

[brisk hedge]

Or legends Mew. Cause you know, they haven’t pandered to Gen 1 enough yet

[twilit hazel]

Unironically, I would appreciate a return to Kanto that actually does something new

Maybe even lump Johto into the mix since it's literally next to Kanto

[wraith musk]

it's type is dragon

ability : Nature override

this pokemon gains the resistences (not weakeness) of the fire and electric type (includes stab tho)

and all normal moves are ice moves

perfect mon

although ground weakness would hurt lol

maybe yk what

perfecto

[slate oracle]

Almost as good as magic guard or minds eye

[wraith musk]

yup

[brisk hedge]

I would accept a revisit to Kanto if it’s in a Johto remake, since HGSS is 15 years old, so long as they don’t remove literally every improvement made by the remake, plus a couple of things that were in the original too and make the catching mechanics absolute garbage cough cough Let’s Go cough cough

[slate oracle]

Fairy steel with flash fire

[wraith musk]

just give us legends sinjoh

[graceful osprey]

Don't say thay

[slate oracle]

Or levitate

[wraith musk]

all Regional forms of johto mons

[unkempt egret]

type is poison/steel
Ability: Eternal Toxin
When this pokemon is hit or uses a move with a target other than itself, all other pokemon on the field are badly poisoned. Poison, both normal and bad, deals double damage when this mon is on the field and bypasses any poison immunities from types or abilities, including magic guard. This pokemon heals 50% of all HP done through poison damage. This pokemon gets magnet rise in its movepool to patch up the ground weakness

[wraith musk]

and a regional garchomp

[rugged comet]

I want a regional Mawile with better stats

[wraith musk]

2 sentences in and this shit is AG

[unkempt egret]

asked for a cracked mon ability lol

[brisk hedge]

Just bring back mega evolution

Permanently

[rugged comet]

Well legends Z-A is bringing it

[rugged comet]

Hopefully

[wraith musk]

agreed

[brisk hedge]

Hence why I said permanently

[wraith musk]

I want mega Y,gigantamax, inferno overdrive Tera fire charizard

it can really be cool

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/no-absolutely-not-gif-13012986

[slate oracle]

Tinkaton is cooler

Objectively

Big hammer

Little guy

That is peak design

[twilit hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/tinkaton-a-mimir-pokemon-sleep-gif-27158600

[rugged comet]

I can't disagree, but I still like mawile

[brisk hedge]

(We’re just gonna ignore the fact that it murders Corviknights)

[slate oracle]

Regional tinkaton with a signature ability of “incorperate,” when hit with a fire type move, instead of taking damage the attack stat is boosted

[wraith musk]

:<

[wraith musk]

yet it dosent have one fucking move to do it in a real match

[twilit hazel]

That's dependent on if Gen 10 is going to keep it, but that's 2 years down the road that nobody can forsee atm

[wraith musk]

tbh it's great feature

gave new life to dead mons

[graceful osprey]

Wouldn't know

Never had access to it

[wraith musk]

beedrill my beloved

[graceful osprey]

I thi k I went......

[wraith musk]

Killed everything

[graceful osprey]

Emerald

[wraith musk]

PLAY INSURGENCE

[graceful osprey]

Black and white

[twilit hazel]

Hell, we still don't shit on Z-A, and probably won't until February

[graceful osprey]

Scarlet and violet

That was my progression

[wraith musk]

noissergorp ym saw tahT

[brisk hedge]

Kind of hard to shit on a game that isn’t even out yet

[rugged comet]

That doesn't stop people

[wraith musk]

lmao

[brisk hedge]

True. Though we can just laugh at them

[rugged comet]

You would think at some point some criminal organization would have heard of one of the children in the world doing this

[brisk hedge]

TBF, not every child has the power of the protagonist

[rugged comet]

But like they never even hear that Insert organization was taken out by a kid

[brisk hedge]

It’s one of those things that you hear about but you assume that it will never happen to you

[rugged comet]

i know where thid is heading

back to the museum

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/well-yes-but-actually-no-meme-aardman-the-pirates-pirate-gif-26563702

[rugged comet]

This is starting to sound more like a cult tbh

[brisk hedge]

Aren’t most evil teams essentially just cults?

[rugged comet]

This one seems even more like one

[brisk hedge]

I think team Galactic seems a little bit more like one, what with the whole rebuilding the universe from scratch thing

[rugged comet]

Really getting the idea that their in a cult

[slate oracle]

That’s intentional

[brisk hedge]

Or team Flare, who wants to kill everyone who isn’t a member of their team

[slate oracle]

They are

I love team galactic cause ghetsis is one of the most evil people in pokemon

[rugged comet]

I mean fair

[rugged comet]

You mean plasma?

[brisk hedge]

And to think people wrote them off as hypocrites

||technically they’re not wrong, since Ghetsis’s ultimate goal is to make it so that only he can use Pokémon, but it’s less of a morally superior situation and more of a “I want all the power” situation. You know… like VILLAINS||

[rugged comet]

Ooh this is nice

ooh that is nice

is this talking about me? neat

[brisk hedge]

I’m pretty sure the only reason that bridges exist in this game is so that they could flex the graphics

[rugged comet]

Totally

[brisk hedge]

Yeah, your name shows up on the electric bulletin boards whenever you beat a gym

I miss when they used to include little details like that

[rugged comet]

I've loved the small details in this so far

[brisk hedge]

Pokémon Black was actually my first main series Pokémon game

[rugged comet]

Oh hey it's the update guy

[brisk hedge]

He’s closer to the guy who gives you rewards for quests. At least in function

[rugged comet]

Had to clarify

[delicate hollow]

The "update" guy? Isn't that for fan games when a new update is available?

[rugged comet]

Why did it zoom out so much for this convo

Easiest job to get in the world

[brisk hedge]

Here’s a fun childhood story: when I first played this game I had no idea what those symbols meant, so I thought the male symbol meant that your Pokémon had high friendship (since the symbol includes the up arrow) and the female symbol meant that your Pokémon had low friendship (since it’s pointing down)

[rugged comet]

Well he's honest

[brisk hedge]

Good luck finding people to survey in 2024

[rugged comet]

That's why I got the job so easily nobody else wanted it

Lol

[brisk hedge]

There’s another NPC in this city that expands on this conversation

[rugged comet]

That will be very helpful

ooh timer balls as well

[rugged comet]

What about ones that didn't have it?

This thing is going to be a pain isn't it

synthesis and leech seed

Oh great sleep powder as well

[brisk hedge]

I probably just didn't notice that they didn't have the symbols. It took me a while to even notice they were there as a kid cause I wasn't very observant (I'm still not tbh)

[brisk hedge]

Good thing you have a flying type

[rugged comet]

Yup

Air cutter made quick work of it

[brisk hedge]

Any idea on what your final team is going to be yet?

[rugged comet]

Considering I have 0 clue what all gen 5 has no

[brisk hedge]

Well you can get Sandile on the next route

[rugged comet]

I made the right choice deciding to have Sil lead

This dude has so many fish

That's helpful

[brisk hedge]

You're going to see a lot of those in this region

[rugged comet]

I'm not suprised given the amount of patrats I saw

[brisk hedge]

That's the one downside of having the dex be limited to only new Pokémon

You see the same Pokémon a lot

[rugged comet]

Is it the same in B2W2?

[brisk hedge]

B2W2 includes pre Gen 5 Pokémon

[rugged comet]

How do you know I'm a wonderful trainer I just spoke to you

[brisk hedge]

Because you're the protagonist

[rugged comet]

So far this floor has been roggenrola using rock blast

On every fight

You also die to rock

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-everythingeverywhereallatonce-gif-25516405

[rugged comet]

I thought you said you were the chair man

Finally

[brisk hedge]

He’s both the chairman and the janitor

[rugged comet]

What black boat?

[graceful osprey]

There's one out there

Somewhere

[rugged comet]

You don't have to say it outloud

The bin is talking to be

Oh thanks

[graceful osprey]

A strange man flashed you in a back alleyway

[rugged comet]

Gimme

[graceful osprey]

No

Fuck you

Wanna know what you need to get it

Actually

Guess

Guess what pokemon you need

[rugged comet]

Monkeys

[graceful osprey]

No

Celebi

Fun right?

[rugged comet]

Aight time to spawn it /s

[brisk hedge]

Specifically, an event Celebi from HGSS. For a Pokémon that isn’t even a legendary

[graceful osprey]

Ok

I thought it had to be a special celebi

[rugged comet]

Not even sure what the buttons do tbh

[brisk hedge]

And the Celebi can only be used to get one Zoura ever

[graceful osprey]

10/10 game design

[brisk hedge]

(I might be a little salty about not being able to get to one as a kid)

[graceful osprey]

To be frank

I did. Ot care

My team was 3 pokemon always

Moxie krookorok

[rugged comet]

I'm salty about it now

[graceful osprey]

Siesmatoad

Emboar

They really kinda

Take care ir anything

[brisk hedge]

Good news is you can get one without an event in B2W2

[graceful osprey]

Bad news is its not technically yours

But it's able to be bred so who cares

I hope I eventually get some kind of mobile healing center

So much money is going onto potions

[rugged comet]

Now I can take even more money from everyone

[graceful osprey]

Wait....

Does vanguard have an eeveel9ution for every type?

what

Raid dens?

why?

[keen kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/wynaut-pokemon-cute-gif-5097226

[rugged comet]

This made me laugh more than it should

[graceful osprey]

UhahfbbwjJ

Ok then

[brisk hedge]

You’re not a Gen 5 Pokémon Pikachu, what are you doing here

[graceful osprey]

So...

Vanguard not only....

Ok yhen

[rugged comet]

Ominous clown

[brisk hedge]

You gonna elaborate on that?

[rugged comet]

Also is the password hidden in the game or does it require something from somewhere else?

[graceful osprey]

It has raid dens and alpha pokemon

Probably other stuff as well

[brisk hedge]

Something from somewhere else

[rugged comet]

It was related to what I put the first time

[brisk hedge]

I forgot that was what that was for

I spent so long trying to figure out that password as a kid

[rugged comet]

I like that

[graceful osprey]

Roggenrolla knows stealth rock

I have a sturdy setup mon

[rugged comet]

This place was taken over by the MiB

To google translate I go

[brisk hedge]

Get ready to get frisked (you won’t get frisked because you’re a girl)

[rugged comet]

Ah there's the other part of that

So many different languages in this one room

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/wake-up-alarm-clock-funny-ouch-slap-gif-17135438

[rugged comet]

Alright I'll trust your word on it

[brisk hedge]

They look perfectly trustworthy to me

[rugged comet]

https://tenor.com/view/crack-knuckles-puppycat-bee-and-puppycat-you-wanna-go-lets-throw-down-gif-27206207

...

[brisk hedge]

I wish they used the term “plasbad” more

[rugged comet]

Ah so you're going to learn necromancy for the hero

Your mask is slipping

Same thing I'm asking

[brisk hedge]

Weirder things have happened in Pokémon

[rugged comet]

You're not wrong

[brisk hedge]

Makes it worse that the only exit is behind them

[rugged comet]

Is that meant to explain how they escaped?

[brisk hedge]

@rugged comet here's a fun little easter egg: if you try to progress past route 4 before getting the 3rd badge, a construction worker will block you saying that there's construction going on, but there's just some Backpacker chilling behind him

[rugged comet]

That backpacker was carrying supplies for construction obviously

How could I forget this adorable creature

Weird you can interact with the honey past the gates

[graceful osprey]

I thi k my favorite part of vanguard so far is guessing the 50/50 if the pokemons type has been changed

[brisk hedge]

You think that’s bad? Try playing a mod where there are 50 new types

[graceful osprey]

No

Also I never said I didn't like it

It's fun

Not knowing every pokemon type going into this is a blast

[rugged comet]

That wasn't that bad

...

3rd badge obtained

...

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-angel-tree-lucas-bryant-pun-puns-puns-for-all-occasions-gif-27015626

[graceful osprey]

Its...

Oddly refreshing

[rugged comet]

It's neat that this game acknowledges that pokemon battles can damage the surroundings

[brisk hedge]

Like what happened with your room (or what’s left of it)

[rugged comet]

I have no idea how they managed to cause that much of a mess with level 5s

Weather is great out here

[brisk hedge]

Here’s where I would take my Castform to turn it into its sandstorm form… IF IT HAD ONE

[rugged comet]

Finally something fire

[latent granite]

unova only has like 2 fire types other than the starter

[brisk hedge]

You could have gotten a Pansear in Pinwheel forest

[latent granite]

no one uses the see no hear no speak no evil monkeys

[brisk hedge]

That’s one more than Diamond and Pearl had

[latent granite]

almost forgot reshiram surprisingly

[rugged comet]

ah

It's going to miss so many attacks

[latent granite]

till it evolves at least

[brisk hedge]

Good news: it loses that when it evolves

[brisk hedge]

That’s at the very end of the game though

[latent granite]

and is a legendary so doesnt count really

the only two useable fire type lines are chandelure, and darmanitan

heatmor has terrible stats and cant be gotten till victory road, simisear is a bad design with not too good stats

i wish heatmor had better stats to make up for how late it shows up, cause it has a very good shiny

[latent granite]

well think about it this way, you and your rivals are new trainers and thus have no idea how to control their pokemon's attacks to just the other pokemon, or the pokemon are basically newborns and have too much energy

[rugged comet]

Yet I've had battles with little children since and they're less destructive

[latent granite]

that being said the one battle subway boss using earthquake in a train is funny when considering that scene

[brisk hedge]

TBF, you fight them outdoors

[latent granite]

mostly

there are some indoors

[rugged comet]

[latent granite]

most people dont want ice cream in winter time since it is already cold out, at least according to games

[brisk hedge]

“Our shop closes for the winter”
“Mam it’s the middle of summer”

[rugged comet]

"Oh so that's why it's so hot out"

[brisk hedge]

TBF, you can only get a castilia cone on Wednesdays, I think.

[graceful osprey]

I love my ghost type starter

[latent granite]

did you throw a brick at it to make it a ghost type?

[graceful osprey]

No

The sprig here is just ghost poison

[latent granite]

ghost poison sprigatito?

[rugged comet]

My bird is evolving

[graceful osprey]

Yep

[latent granite]

must be a fangame

[graceful osprey]

And ot has inflitrator

Indeed

Vanguard

So far

Seems like pmd plot with mainstream gameplay

[latent granite]

i do like seeing regional variants

[latent granite]

i like seeing pidove freeze frame when it is looking at the camera as it is getting attacked

looks like "well i guess it is my time"

[graceful osprey]

I mean

I don't feel like opening discord

[latent granite]

fair

[graceful osprey]

I like ots mimikyu hat

[radiant leaf]

Oh I got this as a shiny in vanguard

[graceful osprey]

Cool

Sadly the attack iv sucks

[latent granite]

[graceful osprey]

So she does dick damage

It's 2

[radiant leaf]

Did you not set them?

[graceful osprey]

Pain

Iv

Not ev

[radiant leaf]

I still can’t believe I thought it would be a special attacker so I gave it modest

[graceful osprey]

Why would it.....

[radiant leaf]

Ah I’m not good with comp terms

[radiant leaf]

For the reason above

Not good at comp

[graceful osprey]

I'm not either

I know the basics

Like hazard

That's about it

Ngl

Luxio is hard carrying

I still domt really have a fire type

I have the protean eevee worh ember

But

[latent granite]

it threw me for a loop first time i tried raising a larvesta, it starts as a physical attacker, then evolves into a special one

[graceful osprey]

That don't really count

I'm saving the ability patch for when I get a venipede

Speed boost go brr

Also

I kinda just guess the sound weakness my first try

And got it right

[latent granite]

what im saying is i raised larvesta's physical attack stat because of it

[graceful osprey]

Oof

[radiant leaf]

Cutiefly maybe?

[graceful osprey]

I have access to some

Like vanitie and koffing

I'm just stupid

[latent granite]

fire type cutiefly? this i gotta see

[graceful osprey]

Gimme a sec

[radiant leaf]

It’s fire fairy and they made it into a fire cracker

[latent granite]

we still dont have official fire/fairy types

which is a shame

[graceful osprey]

There

[latent granite]

i kinda see it in the shape of a comet

looks neat

[graceful osprey]

Why does eevee evolve at level 35 or something

[radiant leaf]

32 while holding a gem

[latent granite]

is there a unique evo in that game?

[radiant leaf]

Trying to get Leafeon for my team lol

[graceful osprey]

yes

[radiant leaf]

Yeah like their regional fletching evos from water flying into water fighting not Talonflame

[graceful osprey]

I'm 90% sure there's an eeveeloution for every type

[latent granite]

fascinating

[radiant leaf]

Not sure if Sprigatito has a custom evo, but I don’t think the starters do, just regional variants

[latent granite]

what about blaziken?

[radiant leaf]

Not sure, I picked sprig

[graceful osprey]

No?

I think it's the same

I could check

I have a save file in the starter room

[latent granite]

thats kinda lame

[radiant leaf]

I think the torchic line does have a regional variant just not custom evos

[latent granite]

what is the typing? im curious now

[radiant leaf]

Not sure

[graceful osprey]

Gimme a sec

I'm trapped in a loop

[latent granite]

alright Dr. Strange

[graceful osprey]

This dumb fuck keep healing his pokemon to battle me again

Just to lose again

Cause my pokemon one shot him

What a moron

[radiant leaf]

Btw it’s worth shiny hunting your starter, odds are 1 in 100,rest of the game is 1 in 400

[latent granite]

you seem to know i am a shiny hunter

im lucky that my favorite pokemon lugia has a shiny i love

[graceful osprey]

oh

[latent granite]

it also matches the premier ball that i caught it in so well

[graceful osprey]

That got dark fast

[radiant leaf]

Lemme guess, the ||murder scene?||

[graceful osprey]

Yes

[latent granite]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-despair-meme-atone-gif-18083281511005463831

i shouldn't have read that

[radiant leaf]

You should not

[latent granite]

now im curious though, what would lugia's new typing be?

[graceful osprey]

A....

Fire type snorunt

Ok then

[rugged comet]

I can dig it

[graceful osprey]

Ight lemme check

[latent granite]

https://tenor.com/view/boo-gif-19787475173016375

[rugged comet]

They were so happy about the graphics weren't they

[latent granite]

i dunno npcs in pokemon have always been fascinated by strange things

[graceful osprey]

Contrary?

Oh shit

[latent granite]

oooo

so many brilliant possibilities

wait "sound" type?

[graceful osprey]

Yea

New type

[keen kraken]

ohh made their own typing for sound based moves, sickkk

[graceful osprey]

Yea

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tsss-drum-band-gif-7320811

[latent granite]

loudred line better be that typing then

[graceful osprey]

It is

[latent granite]

meloetta might be it too

[graceful osprey]

Doubt she's here

[latent granite]

ah so not all mons are in

[graceful osprey]

But she would be

Nope

Far from it probably

[latent granite]

is my boi breloom in there?

[rugged comet]

isn't volcarona there or something

[graceful osprey]

I have no idea

[latent granite]

in the original BW volca is lvl 70

so yeah

[graceful osprey]

Dk you want me to stream it or something?

[radiant leaf]

I’ve seen a few gen 9 mons

[graceful osprey]

Ah wait

[radiant leaf]

In vanguard

[graceful osprey]

No voice channel

We got

Bleh

lechonk

Gross

Smoliv

[radiant leaf]

Hope ursaluna is in the game

[graceful osprey]

Flittle

I mean

[radiant leaf]

Wattral

[latent granite]

its fine im sure there is a decent enough ytuber i can watch play it

[graceful osprey]

We have ursalina

So

Probably

[radiant leaf]

Lessss goooo

[latent granite]

ursaluna is cool i especially like blood moon

[radiant leaf]

I have a shiny teddiursa

[graceful osprey]

Oh

Wait

Uhhhh

I forgot names

Ursrang

[brisk hedge]

Not until post game

[latent granite]

https://tenor.com/view/gummy-bear-gummibar-gummy-bear-song-singing-dance-gif-26447363

[graceful osprey]

I dunno if

Ursalina is in

I'll check when I eventually get ursarang

[radiant leaf]

Hope it is, I’ll have to see when I get to lvl 30’s

[latent granite]

doesnt ursaluna need a peat block at night?

[radiant leaf]

They changed some evos

Like Floragato evolving at 33

[graceful osprey]

And cartpie line

[radiant leaf]

Yeah

[latent granite]

i was about to say something dumb "grass types should evolve sooner"

[radiant leaf]

Using it on my team it’s surprisingly good

[rugged comet]

I'm probably not going to use this but neat

[latent granite]

save it for if you want a leafeon/glaceon

dont remember where the ice stone is, but the mossy rock is in pinwheel forest

[graceful osprey]

Ice stone is uh

[radiant leaf]

It’s in the post game section of twist mountain

[graceful osprey]

Twist mountain

No

[brisk hedge]

Eevee isn’t in this game

[graceful osprey]

You can get there before post game

[radiant leaf]

Huh thought it was post game only

[latent granite]

am i thinking of BW2 then? i swear there was a trading npc

[radiant leaf]

It’s like super late ik that’s

[graceful osprey]

Eevee is a thing in 2

And the post game is also in 2

Twist mountain is shut down in 2 till post game

[latent granite]

i still wish the PWT made it into modern games

[brisk hedge]

Same with Pinwheel forest

[rugged comet]

Big

[latent granite]

best bug line

[radiant leaf]

Ah that’s where I’m getting confused lol

B2 was my first game

[graceful osprey]

Why does potion fang toxic

[latent granite]

there IS a section in twist mountain in the first games that have higher level than the rest of the mountain if i recall

[graceful osprey]

It's so stupid

[latent granite]

cause it goes directly into the blood stream

[rugged comet]

I don't think I've ever seen this mon

[latent granite]

evil incarnate

[graceful osprey]

I like it

[keen kraken]

duck 🙂

[latent granite]

in the anime it is a menace

[brisk hedge]

Hey, it’s Quaxly’s award cousin

[unkempt egret]

it's only in one place but it's also ||a 100% encounter if you get a wild encounter||

[latent granite]

btw if you are needing EXP make sure you farm Audinos

[rugged comet]

Yeah I saw the NPC that mentioned that

[graceful osprey]

AH

Sail fossil

[latent granite]

im curious what typing auroros is in that fan game

[graceful osprey]

Now I'd only I knew where to restore fossils

[brisk hedge]

The best fossil Pokémon

[latent granite]

tyrantrum is best girl

[graceful osprey]

Archen is a dragon type

[latent granite]

very noticable shiny too

[rugged comet]

useful

[latent granite]

if not for Fishous rend i doubt most people would use the galar fossils

[radiant leaf]

Deacovish is just cool in general

[latent granite]

it looks bizarre to me

[graceful osprey]

I like it

[radiant leaf]

It’s based on old palaeontologists mixing fossils

[brisk hedge]

Especially considering what the next gym leader uses

[latent granite]

im pretty sure he already beat Burgh

since he is in the desert

[brisk hedge]

I’m talking about Elesa

[latent granite]

electric isnt weak to rock except for her emolga

[brisk hedge]

Exactly: her emolga

[rugged comet]

The men in black are back

[latent granite]

the emolga is the weakest in her comp

[west jasper]

Black and white?

[rugged comet]

What in the world

[west jasper]

You never played?

[graceful osprey]

Rcb

[rugged comet]

Yeah I'm playing black atm

[latent granite]

look at all those darmanitan

[west jasper]

Those are darmanitan

[rugged comet]

never

[graceful osprey]

Rage candy bar

[west jasper]

They turn into that form in the winter

[graceful osprey]

Or rcb

[rugged comet]

Knew very little

[latent granite]

too bad in the original BW you cant get the zorua line through normal means

[west jasper]

Only catch the zorark

Right?

[latent granite]

you cant without the event

[west jasper]

Yeah, thats what I mean

IT uses illusion and runs from you.

[latent granite]

the events were needed for both zorua and zoroark

[rugged comet]

#other-pokemon-games message This is about all I had known before playing

[brisk hedge]

That is not even close to what happens

[latent granite]

the only way to get a zorua/zoroark in the originals without the events was trading

[brisk hedge]

If you’ve played later gens you probably know most of the Pokémon too

[latent granite]

in BW2 a npc gives you one

[west jasper]

From what I remember yes

You get 3 chances

Once in the city

[rugged comet]

I've played Y, Omega Ruby, Ultra Sun

[west jasper]

once on the bridge (where you get crecilia)

[rugged comet]

and sapphire and fire red

[west jasper]

the other is in the garden

[latent granite]

that zoroark requires one of the shiny legendary beasts from that one movie event

which unless Firesword has an action replay cant do

[brisk hedge]

I think they’re playing on an emulator #other-pokemon-games message

[rugged comet]

Yeah I am

[west jasper]

It was this

I had all 4 games, so I got everything 🙂

[graceful osprey]

HUGE

[west jasper]

Cool

[graceful osprey]

Oh

A shiny oddish

[latent granite]

but that was cresselia, we were talking about zoroark

[latent granite]

need me one of those in the main games

[west jasper]

yeah. its the ghost girl

[latent granite]

also is that luxio red?

[west jasper]

Thats why I thought it was zorark, it had a reused animation

[latent granite]

the ghost girl from Gen 6 was certainly more unsettleing

[rugged comet]

What on earth does "The famous roller coaster is where least expect it" mean

[latent granite]

the gym is the roller coaster

[west jasper]

where?

yeahhh

umm im thinking

Is it eutreak?

[graceful osprey]

Castelia city

Iirc

[latent granite]

ecruteak is gen 2

[west jasper]

ice?

[graceful osprey]

No

The electric gym

[west jasper]

im thinking of the electricity girl

[graceful osprey]

5th gym

[latent granite]

nimbasa

[graceful osprey]

Ok it's nimbasa

I forgot which is which

[latent granite]

i should not remember that but i do

[west jasper]

The electric gym is the roller coaster

[graceful osprey]

Yes

[west jasper]

The zebstrika is very mean

It doesnt play fun.

[latent granite]

her zebstrika is easily her strongest

[west jasper]

Easily?

Its by far her strongest

[latent granite]

also remember this for Gen 5, basically everything learns pursuit

[rugged comet]

Should I be worried that my only ground move is on my water type?

[west jasper]

I remember it has wild charge and something else

[west jasper]

No

You dont need a ground type

[latent granite]

it has wild charge and flame charge

[west jasper]

yeah

those 2

[brisk hedge]

She uses 2 flying types

[latent granite]

i think it also has u turn

[west jasper]

Flame charge is the issue

[west jasper]

correct

OR volt switch

one of the 2

[latent granite]

she gives the tm for volt switch

so probably that one

[west jasper]

Does the emolga have volt switch?

[latent granite]

it does

[west jasper]

The zebstrika might not

[brisk hedge]

It does

[latent granite]

i think her last move on zebstrika is agility for some reason

[graceful osprey]

All if her pokemon have colt switch

[rugged comet]

I think the point of "hiding out" is not being found, and you just told where to go

[latent granite]

they pull out a colt gun and shoot you then swap out

[west jasper]

thats it

[rugged comet]

YES

[latent granite]

i never really use the bike to be honest, makes encounters happen too often

it also makes trainers look toward you due to the noise

[rugged comet]

I'm really zooming now

[west jasper]

I just realized, how do you use the dowsing machine?

[latent granite]

in gen 5?

[west jasper]

Without the ds

[latent granite]

thats... a good question

[west jasper]

Its on the bottom screen

You also gotta tap on it

[latent granite]

yeah thats it
