[west jasper]

Wtf is that

[latent granite]

the emulator uses two screens too

[west jasper]

Is that the dowsing machine?

I remember it being empty

[rugged comet]

Mouse is used for touchscreen

[latent granite]

it will point you to a location and when it spreads out like that the item is right in front of you

[west jasper]

Yeah

On the ds, you would use the stylus and it would leave a blip on the map

[latent granite]

that one was the heartgold soulsilver one

[west jasper]

Man, I got all my games messed up

I have every single one.

[rugged comet]

Ah the illusion of choice

[west jasper]

She doesnt even battle you

She goes into the contest

[latent granite]

not that she is a threat

[west jasper]

I beleive she gives you a poppin box

Or the beauty kit

[brisk hedge]

You’re going to go do the Pokémon Musical and you’re going to like it

[west jasper]

Thats it

[latent granite]

yeah, i actually kinda liked the musical

kinda

[brisk hedge]

I did it a lot as a kid, but as an adult… meh

[latent granite]

mostly cause i could dress pokemon up as dapper gentlemen

[graceful osprey]

Woa

[rugged comet]

Perfect

[latent granite]

i did make Riolu a knight one time

sword shield and heroic scarf

[brisk hedge]

The gentleman Servine

It is a boy, right

[rugged comet]

I was not prepared

[latent granite]

oh yeah him

[rugged comet]

Yes

[keen kraken]

🙂

big smile

happy friendo

[rugged comet]

Got to say its close between Sil and the patrat

[latent granite]

oh yeah the cowboy patrat

[brisk hedge]

TBF, you’re not forced to actually participate, just to play dress up once

[latent granite]

yeah but wouldnt you wanna see your glorious creation in motion?

besides Servine has a smile clearly he is enjoying it

[rugged comet]

No that sounds like your totally bragging

Perfect

[brisk hedge]

Ah yes, my childhood rival. When I was a kid, that Throuh would always get the first compliment after a musical. I played the musical several times to try and get a compliment before him, and eventually I did. Then when I was older, I learned that the person who gets the first compliment is the person in last place

[rugged comet]

Oh

[latent granite]

lol

[rugged comet]

I got the compliment first

[rugged comet]

Maybe it's because I didn't hit the appeal button

[brisk hedge]

Yep, that’ll do it

[rugged comet]

I'm about to waste so much time here aren't I

I suck at this

[graceful osprey]

PFTTT

I can use the tm to cut trees down

I don't even have to teach it to a pokemon

I just use the disk

[rugged comet]

Dang it's overprotective dad

Boo you go home

Ok boomer

Going to be honest didn't think normal sports were a thing in pokemon

Hey someone mentioning shiny pokemon

[brisk hedge]

I think this is the first time the term was used in-game

[rugged comet]

??? I thought there would be a more important place with this

[graceful osprey]

Jaw fossil

[rugged comet]

So someone does mention it

[brisk hedge]

It is completely optional TBF

[rugged comet]

So you're the "leader" of the cult

[brisk hedge]

Let me guess: you still think he’s hot

[graceful osprey]

Ok

Chapter 9

[rugged comet]

https://tenor.com/view/spin-unova-pokemon-n-n-pokemon-gif-4846711592418429285

Geez that did so much dmg in 1 hit

[brisk hedge]

We’ve established that it has hustle

[rugged comet]

Yes but also its a fire type hitting a water type

[graceful osprey]

Knever

[graceful osprey]

VENIPEDE

LETSGO

[rugged comet]

Never going to lose

Hot

[graceful osprey]

LEVEL 34??

[rugged comet]

I mean I never really had an interest in sports as a kid

[graceful osprey]

MY LEVEL CAP IS 19

[brisk hedge]

You’re playing Pokémon as an adult (I’m assuming) of course you didn’t

[lofty swan]

Agreed

[latent granite]

intriguing

[graceful osprey]

Petilil seems normal

[rugged comet]

Grass resists Electric?

[coarse estuary]

yep always has

[rugged comet]

I should spend some of this

[brisk hedge]

But if you use it, then you won’t have it anymore

[rugged comet]

Good to know

[graceful osprey]

Oh good

Bunearry isn't changed

Dunno about lopunny yet

Noibat looks cool

Really cool

Dunno if it needs a spoiler mark cause it is a fan game

But imma do it anyways

[coarse estuary]

imo only reason i would spoiler it is if you were in the vanguard discord server and it was like a boss fight or major plot point

[graceful osprey]

Ohk

[rugged comet]

I've been critted twice in a row now

[graceful osprey]

Sounds about right

[rugged comet]

... it has flame charge

It kept using quick attack at first though

[graceful osprey]

Yes

It does

[rugged comet]

This might be my first loss so far

[coarse estuary]

you doin any special kinda playthrough or just a casual bw1 playthrough

[rugged comet]

Casual

It's my first time playing it

[coarse estuary]

ooh ok.

gen 5 is my fave gen so i hope you enjoy it

[rugged comet]

I have been

It knows a flying move

My first loss

[coarse estuary]

whats the team lookin like.

[rugged comet]

Roggenrola came with a hard stone

[coarse estuary]

cool. if you have access to trade evos gig is good.

[graceful osprey]

That's a team

I mean

I offered

[rugged comet]

I could use this on a trade evo

[coarse estuary]

this is the team i used in my latest time i last beat the game and it to this day is my favorite playthrough team

[graceful osprey]

What the fuck

[brisk hedge]

Elesa is probably the toughest gym leader in this game

[graceful osprey]

Why is the best psychical ghost attack you learn astonish

Florgato sucks

[rugged comet]

I nearly beat her

[coarse estuary]

and yes that galvantula is shiny on purpose because i found a shiny one in my actual save

[brisk hedge]

I didn’t even notice it was shiny

[coarse estuary]

yeah its not one of the more noticable shinies but its a tad darker than the non shiny one

[brisk hedge]

Remind me again why they make shines that are so similar to the original

[graceful osprey]

Oh

This is the area zero battle theme

[rugged comet]

To make players suffer finding them

[coarse estuary]

idk man. all shinies should be able to be noticeably different

[graceful osprey]

Ok yea

After like 8 hours

Fuck the pevel cap

Level

It can go to hell

[rugged comet]

hustle ftw

and leech seed

[coarse estuary]

my favorite elesa win of all time is when a youtuber swept it with an archen due to getting 2 ap boosts

[rugged comet]

and it's back to how it was

she had a hyper potion

[graceful osprey]

Vanguard would be a 10/10 game if this DAMN LEVEL CAP DIDNT EXIST

[coarse estuary]

lol

[rugged comet]

Got to stop for now Nephew wants to play monkey ball

[coarse estuary]

imo level caps are good so you cant just grind to 100 right away and make the game too easy

[graceful osprey]

Normally I like it

However

everything is the same or higher level than my level cap

[brisk hedge]

What do you mean “right away”. It takes ages to get to level 100

[graceful osprey]

Except wild encounters

Even if the level cap was like

2 levels higher

Give me some sort of extra edge against stuff

[coarse estuary]

basically i mean so people cant grind to level 100 at the start of the game so they can just steamroll the whole game

[brisk hedge]

It would take longer to get to level 100 than it would to beat the entire game normally

[graceful osprey]

Unless there's exp cand grindable then yea

[coarse estuary]

yeah but ive seen some people who are like if i cant just steamroll a game its a poorly designed game

[graceful osprey]

I domt care about steamrolling

I'm just sick of dieing

[brisk hedge]

Well those people are idiots

[graceful osprey]

We

Well

Having my pokemon faint

Wil pokemon should not pose a threat

Trainer battles sure

But wild encounters?

why?

[coarse estuary]

so that you dont have to spend extra time catching it up if you want to team swap i would assume

[graceful osprey]

This game has an exp all

It does not matter

[coarse estuary]

well if you want to know the answers to your questions id suggest asking in the vanguard discord insead of here

[graceful osprey]

True

I just like to vent every so often

[coarse estuary]

thats fair but also ive seen many people be too stubborn to ask in a correct discord for a fan game then wonder why people in an unrelated one dont know the answer

[graceful osprey]

Fire rock voltorb

Honestly

I'd rather not ask unless I'm 100% lost

I like not knowing

I know

Essentially everything about gen 9

Lemme change that word

Almost

[coarse estuary]

yeah imo its best to not ask unless you 100% have no clue where to go or what to do so that its not just walkthrough simulator

[graceful osprey]

I would like to know why running the game for any legonth of time jusy has the game stutter more and more while running thoh grass

Is it m pc?

[rugged comet]

Same

[coarse estuary]

i would assume so as ive ran it for hours at a time and had no slowdowns

[graceful osprey]

The game don't slow down

It stutters when walking though grass

After aboit half a hour

[coarse estuary]

i condsider that a slowdown yah know

[high orbit]

it do be a shelmet

[modern magnet]

Shelmet / accelgor sucks

[unkempt egret]

it's fast and glassy, get bug buzz and you're golden

[torpid zinc]

Golf is a thing too. One of the Alola E4 is a golfer.

[frank lily]

Birthday shiny haul

[graceful osprey]

Ooo

[modern magnet]

Neo, it's shit

[unkempt egret]

by what standards

[graceful osprey]

This butterfree is criminally good

[rugged comet]

I forgot about that

[modern magnet]

statblock accelgor

[rain shell]

The command wasn't used correctly! Please write it as statblock name/name so I know what fusion you're asking for.

[unkempt egret]

checks* yea the other special bugs are galvantula (fair enough) and volcarona (which isn't available until basically postgame)

[modern magnet]

statblock accelgor/accelgor

[rain shell]

I'm not sure what Pokémon you're asking for, did you misspell something?

[modern magnet]

No...

I'm not basing it off of that

[rugged comet]

That doesn't work for mons not in IF

[modern magnet]

Best move is bug buzz

Sludge

Focus

Has terrible abilities

Terrible defense

Relys on item like choice specs or life orb

[unkempt egret]

I mean bug buzz is psychic clone, is good

2/4 of the E4's weak to bug

if you aren't using leavanny/scolipede/galvantula it's a decent option

[modern magnet]

I'd honestly argue leavanny is bette

Better

[graceful osprey]

That's stupid

[modern magnet]

How

[graceful osprey]

They don't recover from fainting if you level then up

[unkempt egret]

LOL

[graceful osprey]

?

[modern magnet]

Neo

[graceful osprey]

Did I miss a memo?

[modern magnet]

I'm sorry but accelgor is trash

[unkempt egret]

I think your standards are too high for in-game stuffs

for comp fair enough but

[modern magnet]

Aint no way

[unkempt egret]

in game things I'd call outright bad are things that don't get good moves tbh

[modern magnet]

...

He doesn't get shit

70 acc move

Non stab sludge

[unkempt egret]

stuff like pre-B2/W2 leafeon

[modern magnet]

And one good bug move

His best ability is locked behind hidden

[unkempt egret]

I'll take it over my best STAB option being 55 base power until level 71

[modern magnet]

Ykw

Noctowl would be better atr

Plus

[unkempt egret]

tbh I'm actually not gonna argue that

noctowl's suprisingly solid

[modern magnet]

What is he surviving

[unkempt egret]

would you believe my answer is "with a struggle bug, ||a fire blast from ghetsis' hydreigon||"

[modern magnet]

... he doesn't survive

It's super effective

[unkempt egret]

struggle bug with max special defenses pushed it into like 90% damage lol

[modern magnet]

How much u wanna bet

[unkempt egret]

alright I really need to go but I'm still giving accelgor far more credit than you are

[modern magnet]

He is dog water

[modern magnet]

Okay but remember

Who is going to ev train an accelgor

And who brings an accelgor to ghetis

[graceful osprey]

.....

Thats...

Huh

[upbeat notch]

why would you wanna invest max spdef on accelgor

[unkempt egret]

briefly back but "nuzlockes" as an answer for both

[upbeat notch]

i feel like the only times i use accelgor is SR/Final gambit lead :v

[upbeat notch]

ah fair point

[modern magnet]

How

[upbeat notch]

I mean if he has no choice but accelgor
rather something than nothing

~~"being good at nuzlocke is just being good at using calculator" ~~
-jacob funnyman alpharad

[modern magnet]

He said that fr?

Or was that Jan (pChal)

[modern magnet]

I think I heard it before actually

[upbeat notch]

Somewhere in the He reacts to pokemonchalleges reacts lmao

[modern magnet]

Yeah

That's where I heard it from

Hey zan

What pokemon would you bring to a deserted island

[upbeat notch]

Mew

[modern magnet]

Why

[upbeat notch]

https://tenor.com/view/nileseyy-niles-peace-out-disappear-meme-disappearing-guy-checking-out-gif-25558985

[modern magnet]

...

I forgot.

[modern magnet]

I know why now

[upbeat notch]

LOL

[modern magnet]

God zan

Why

[upbeat notch]

MEw is such a cheat answer tbh

[modern magnet]

Wait

[upbeat notch]

He can learn almost any moves

[modern magnet]

Your not-

OH..

[upbeat notch]

he can transform if you need anything

[modern magnet]

I thought you were thin-

[modern magnet]

Yeah.

Lemme find a clip rq

[upbeat notch]

i guess the next best answer is a tropius/exeggutor

Just for the ability Harvest

[modern magnet]

Go to uh yk

[rugged comet]

Nephews defeated, back to Unova

[upbeat notch]

ruthless uncle

"Welcome to real life kid"

[rugged comet]

They challenged me to smash and tricky towers

You expect me to go easy on them?

[upbeat notch]

[rugged comet]

I gave myself a handicap in smash

I started at like 50% dmg later moving it up to 80%

[rugged comet]

And I only picked random for character

yeah 3x Iron defense makes this very easy

Also for some reason it didn't use flame charge

gg

[high orbit]

it does 1000% i just was collecting events i got the shiny larvitar which is infinitely better especially for elec gym

[high orbit]

are you playing gen 5 or a romahack

[rugged comet]

Gen 5 for the first time

Yay

[high orbit]

are you on black or white

[rugged comet]

Black

Plan on doing White 2

Another one done

[high orbit]

wanna do some dns trades at somepoint and i can show you the dns trick if you want for event pokemon

[coarse estuary]

its usually recommended to do the 2 version of the same game you did for bw1 just because if you do the unova link it makes it more clear

[rugged comet]

Oh didn't know that

[high orbit]

yeah and that way you can get all 3 legendary

[rugged comet]

Guess I'll do black 2 then do white after

[high orbit]

oh wait you're on an emulator damn

you guys wanna play pokemmo together sometime

[rugged comet]

Obligatory rival fight is happening

[rugged comet]

What's Pokemmo?

[unkempt egret]

oh yea B/W is relentless with rival fights rofl

probably because you have three and unlike X/Y they all fight you about as much as a regular rival would

[rugged comet]

I've noticed

[high orbit]

its gen 1-5 put into an mmo where people can all play together rather than solo think of it like how scarlet/violet multiplayer works

[rugged comet]

Neat

[high orbit]

one of my top 3 fan games for sure

[unkempt egret]

oh riiight I remember playing that way back in the day, like 2010/2011, I dunno if it's still up though

unless it's client/host in which case probably

[coarse estuary]

time to start my oras looplocke

[high orbit]

it is they finished adding all the gens last year with SoulSilver

[graceful osprey]

Well....

Back to the egg grind

[unkempt egret]

ah interesting

[high orbit]

im trying to find a copy of alpha for my 2ds rn

[unkempt egret]

I think it was just gens 1-3 last I played

[rugged comet]

ORAS are great remakes

[unkempt egret]

took me a sec to remember looplocke lol

[high orbit]

on my main character ive completed 3 and 5 so far

[unkempt egret]

ORAS I just did a pretty simple rule: I couldn't use any pokemon I had previously placed in the HoF before in any other run

[high orbit]

bruhhh i leveled my shiny larvitar too high (lvl 10) now it wont listen 😭

[rugged comet]

This is really annoying

[coarse estuary]

im doin it for round 0 if this nuzlocke tour im in

[rugged comet]

Pretty sure he's using roost to heal the exact amount of dmg i'm dealing

[high orbit]

dont worry it happens every time one of those lil shits are on screen

[unkempt egret]

yea those ones are all about PP drain between detect and roost

[rugged comet]

That should help

it snapped out instantly

Huge

Because I'm the MC

[coarse estuary]

hopefully i get some good luck with my loops so i can make good use of these 6 mon loops and not have to risk smaller ones

[unkempt egret]

there is ||a four mon loop|| you can go for very early on but it requires picking a specific starter

[coarse estuary]

ik but it also requires luck to get just because of stuffs

[rugged comet]

Cool I have no idea what it's for, but I'm sure I'll find out

Ah prop

[high orbit]

im starting my new character in pokemmo if you wanna play together what region should we start in

[coarse estuary]

oh you can pick what region you start in now?

[high orbit]

yepp its pretty nice

[high orbit]

personally i started in hoenn my first run then moved to unova then started working on Johto not to long ago

[coarse estuary]

last time i played you had to start in unova. id be down to play tomorrow im doin my r0 nuzteam arcade run rn

[high orbit]

sick just lmk

[high orbit]

hbu fire you down to join us for some wacky pokemon adventures tomorrow

[rugged comet]

I only really know gen 3 of the options

But I think I'll continue my adventures in unova before going to another game

[high orbit]

alright then

I've awoken

[high orbit]

good [insert time of day here]

[desert iron]

Casual mode puts all the enemy trainers pokemon at 0 IVS and EVS, so you do have an edge there if you are struggling. The game without a level cap would be awful, you would constantly overlevel everything

[graceful osprey]

welp

thats unfortunate

ok

laat autosave wasnt far away

oh

oh no

is it bugged?

welp

i guess this means i join the discord

Oh shit

[graceful osprey]

You make a good point

I guess it is good for balancing, especially on longer chapters

Overall the game is really fun

[wraith musk]

oh yeah

[graceful osprey]

Hey I got it

Well

A mod told me to download a patch

[wraith musk]

patch downloads a mod

[graceful osprey]

So

I may have made a huge gamble

I pasted the patch files over the ones I had without making a backup

But hey

It worked

So

ooooo

Cool gastly

I'm trying to make my team only fakemons from the game

[untold hill]

Fangame recommendation of the day:
||Pokemon Infinite Fusion||

[graceful osprey]

good choice

i love it myself

[coarse estuary]

deathless roxanne. this loop went crazy

[graceful osprey]

Why is that loss sentence funny to me

[sinful isle]

how tu fix

[coarse estuary]

have you tried asking in the discord for that fan game

[sinful isle]

@coarse estuary wat si der dicord srver name

[untold hill]

Project Vanguard

[sinful isle]

thx

[delicate hollow]

Diamond and Pearl came out at the worst time in my life because I was going through a lot of personal situations and issues in college which I'm not going to discuss as this is seriously personal so I'll leave it at that plus I was taking a break from playing Pokemon games in general so I haven't seen gameplay trailers for Diamond and Pearl.

[rugged comet]

Nephews won this time It was Mario party time to go to Unova

I forgot there was a guy that looks like a cowboy

I did not consent to being on TV

How has it been a year, I've played for 3 days

[brisk hedge]

Most evil teams:
Woah! This is worthless

[iron mulch]

[rugged comet]

That's also what it seems like Cheren will say soon

Since he's going through his "Power is everything to a trainer" phase

[graceful osprey]

Clay best gym leader

An no it's not cause lacey is his family

[rugged comet]

Yo it's the ice cream pokemon

[brisk hedge]

Hey it’s the Castlia cone you wanted

[graceful osprey]

Eat it I dare you

[brisk hedge]

No seriously, they look just like Castlia cones

[unkempt egret]

apparently castelia cones are based off them in-universe, but same idea

[rugged comet]

So that's just allowed?

[wraith musk]

wow so eating pokemon

also magikarp are said to be tasty but inedible due to them having dragon scales

basically useless and unkillable

[brisk hedge]

They’re probably too underpaid to care

[rugged comet]

It's just skin and bones, not really tasty

Also the music here has no reason to be such a bop

This place is pretty cool

Also tf is Hilda not freezing in here

[brisk hedge]

She probably is, she just doesn’t complain because she’s a silent protagonist

Also, it’s time for ice puzzles that I may or may not have gotten stuck on as a kid

[atomic orchid]

In Cold Storage?

Hope you like ice. Cause if you ever decide to do 2 it’s the central theme

[rugged comet]

Pretty cool

Goth vs Construction worker

[atomic orchid]

“I can lift and bend steel girders!”
“I have weird fans.”
“…you win”

[rugged comet]

It did get confused from psybeam so maybe that happened

I can't take them seriously

[brisk hedge]

He’s probably just confused cause you’re fighting him with a tiny goth woman

[rugged comet]

They're meant to be a threat?

[dusky sable]

looking for pokegames that dont need emulators and have been finished and have new species

[rugged comet]

That's nice

You just pop up everywhere don't you

[atomic orchid]

Kinda sorta. The main Plasma grunts are mostly volunteers for N’s ideals. But they have a few very serious bad seeds within, hence the splintering of 2 between Old Plasma and New Plasma

[rugged comet]

Spoilers

[unkempt egret]

oh quick BTW about cold storage:

[atomic orchid]

It’s the executives that are the real threats, and even then some of the sages are about as threatening as Organization XIII from Kingdom Hearts

[unkempt egret]

||if you didn't get the scald TM, it'll help out a lot for the gym||

[rugged comet]

I did get it

[unkempt egret]

aight cool

[rugged comet]

I mean I can't use it

[unkempt egret]

also yea from the sages I recall ||ghetsis and zinzolin are on bad, rood is on good, Gorm is on "lol", and the other three don't show up at all in B2/W2||

[atomic orchid]

Shame about that Boldore. Gigalith is much more useful

[rugged comet]

I mean I have eviolite so I'm fine with it

[unkempt egret]

yea basically geodude's line if it didn't have two big quad weaknesses

[brisk hedge]

Most of the seven sages don’t bother to fight you in this game, which combined with the fact that they all look the same makes them very forgettable

[unkempt egret]

and passable special defense I think?

[atomic orchid]

Most of Unova’s gimmick was reinvented existent mons

[unkempt egret]

there's some that do play really different though like swoobat compared to golbat/crobat

[rugged comet]

Not really with this nature

[unkempt egret]

lol rip

[rugged comet]

Sil should sweep anyways

[unkempt egret]

maybe not this gym but yea

[brisk hedge]

This is literally the only gym that Servine’s good against

[unkempt egret]

oooh servine yea

thought you meant boldore there

[atomic orchid]

Apparently idk if this is true, but the general idea behind Shelmet/Karrablast evolution was an idea scrapped for memory where Machoke would only evolve with Graveler, trading the arms as a result

In this case it’s Shelmet’s shell

[unkempt egret]

interesting theory

my own run just got to servine's evo and I'll have to just bank on coil leaf blade from here

[brisk hedge]

Stealing arms sounds significantly more painful

[atomic orchid]

Than ripping off a shell? You know those things aren’t just slip-on, right?

[rugged comet]

uh oh

Sil hit self in confuse

[brisk hedge]

How did Sil get confused?

[rugged comet]

Honestly zoned out and it happened

Oh wait no

It was from swagger

I missed turn 1 and he used swagger

Welp this is becoming a loss

[brisk hedge]

Clay’s Excadrill goes hard

Excadrill is the most hated Mon in Gen 5 Nuzlockes. Clay’s especially

[latent granite]

the gif didnt work

alakazam has been waiting his whole life for this

[rugged comet]

How is it that I've never missed a leaf tornado till this point and now I miss them every time

[atomic orchid]

For the record, Vanilite isn’t the ice cream. It’s the cone. A solid lump of ice with its face beneath it. You’re just eating hair

Gen 5 was also known as a”the Framerate Generation”

Because of all the slowdown

[brisk hedge]

What slowdown?

[rugged comet]

I've released the framerate limit

[graceful osprey]

.....

I want to know how vanguard trainer ai works

[graceful osprey]

Did I just get unlucky or do certain trainers read my inputs

[rugged comet]

I saw it got to 252

[graceful osprey]

So

Kartcoal

[atomic orchid]

Face the facts Weavile

[graceful osprey]

Or however it's spelt

Go to switch out to my water flying type for a water move to ohko

Uses a rock move

I'm betting I just got unlucky

[atomic orchid]

Sounds unlucky

[graceful osprey]

But like

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/never-harrypotter-angry-fire-no-gif-4751988

[graceful osprey]

It's a fan game

[atomic orchid]

I’ve had that happen in official games too

[graceful osprey]

So there is a chance my input got read

Man

Thank goodness fire is weak to sound

[atomic orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/hahahaha-gif-27342590

also I'm moving at like 2x speed now

[brisk hedge]

Again, try playing a mod with 50 new types

[atomic orchid]

You sent a Crystal against a drill…

[graceful osprey]

At least that has a type chart made

[rugged comet]

He won't use bulldoze till I'm low

[atomic orchid]

Too Many Types?
That thing needs a flowchart

[graceful osprey]

I still can't manage to find a type chart for sound

[atomic orchid]

What have you found so far?

[rugged comet]

And I won't get low because I leech seeded it and used 3x iron defense

[graceful osprey]

So far

Sound is weak to and 3ffecitve against electric

Strong to fire and water

That's all ive found

[atomic orchid]

Thunder and lightning.
Sound waves have been proven to extinguish flames (Mythbusters)
Sound travels easier in water

[rugged comet]

It's getting faster

Also clay down

[graceful osprey]

Why did my water type die

Wait

Fire

[atomic orchid]

It speeds up once there’s less stuff to detail like the animated sprites

I’m at 10% and still have half a car ride to go. See ya!

[graceful osprey]

Ok

Drive safe

[atomic orchid]

Passenger seat

But I have no charger

[graceful osprey]

Oh

FUCK

I wanted to beat him

Rigged

[rugged comet]

Haven't seem you since the last town

Let me guess time to fight?

Yup

[graceful osprey]

The one gripe o have about gen 5 is how many rival battles there are

[brisk hedge]

That wouldn’t be as much of an issue if they didn’t use the same team for every battle

[rugged comet]

She said she hasn't had a pokemon battle with me in a while

Its been like 1-2 towns

Useful

Now I can go use the dowsing machine in early areas

[graceful osprey]

Ok

Amaura, Tyrunt and Tirtouga do not have custom types

[dusky sable]

some games look fun but then i learn there not completed

[rugged comet]

Not like I could see them in other regions

Neat false swipe

I ask that myself

[high orbit]

you down for that MMO fuckery

[high orbit]

everyone knows slavery results in evolution

[brisk hedge]

It’s to ~~ make you pay for the same game twice~~ encourage connectivity

[rugged comet]

I know what this evolves into

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-gif-19075770

[rugged comet]

I hope it never makes it's way into IF, there are enough Among us sprites as it is

[brisk hedge]

It’s still a better design than just slapping eyes onto a pokeball

And then flipping it upside down when it evolves

[unkempt egret]

I was gonna say yea we already have a pokeball bit (voltorb/electrode) and two mushroom bits (parasect and breloom)

[atomic orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/pxdgbeware-gif-6563845206358699288

How things going?

[brisk hedge]

Fire sword found the sus Pokémon and I had a mini rant about Gen 1’s terrible Pokémon designs

[rugged comet]

I know the hot guy is behind this text boxt

[atomic orchid]

Sus mon? Oh right! Alomomola

That could be anyone's foot👀

[brisk hedge]

Stop simping for the villain

[rugged comet]

This doesn't seem like its a good thing for me

[atomic orchid]

Joltik maybe?

[rugged comet]

if I find it

[atomic orchid]

Smol

[brisk hedge]

It’s good against the next gym too

[unkempt egret]

joltik's line in general is probably BW's (just white's?) best electric type if you get compoundeyes

[atomic orchid]

ye

[unkempt egret]

electric at least doesn't have to put up with the issue that fire and ice both do

[atomic orchid]

Tynamo is a close second though

[unkempt egret]

since ||thunderbolt is obtainable maingame it's just really out of the way||

[rugged comet]

You mean this?

[rugged comet]

It did get compound eyes

[atomic orchid]

Tiny little cryptid

[rugged comet]

But it's adamant

[atomic orchid]

I can't blame autocorrect on that. Keyboard

[brisk hedge]

It’s a pure electric type with levitate

[graceful osprey]

Ugh

Ever know where to go but have zero clue how to get there?

.....

So I'm just an idiot

[atomic orchid]

btw I wasn't kidding about Tynamo being a cryptid. Check out the concept of the Flying Rod.

[graceful osprey]

I think some9ne asked about shroomish earlier so

[rugged comet]

Huge

Hot guy spotted, but I'm going to wander around this cave some more first

[brisk hedge]

Playing hard to get I see

[rugged comet]

Rest of cave explored

i forget there are just normal planes in pokemon

I'd say I saw too many of them

Interesting

[brisk hedge]

You literally can’t not see one, since your bay N has one

[brisk hedge]

Pokémon world map theorists:
vigorously taking notes

[dusty sleet]

pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky is forever my very top favorite game of all time

[graceful osprey]

I wonder if I go onto the files if I can find the sound types weaknesses and the types it nukes

[rugged comet]

I forgot about the snot bear

[graceful osprey]

Don't you dare disrespct my boy

[brisk hedge]

If I had a nickel for every base form bear Pokémon that is fucking adorable, I’d have 3 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened thrice

[unkempt egret]

I mean I would disrespect him in this gen considering he only has 110 attack but uh

A. he does get icicle crash on leveling which means he does have good STAB
and B. I have used him in a nuz before... of B2/W2 ROFL

was the 1% 5% hidden grotto one too, shame I couldn't make use of the ability

actually yea beartic does kinda have the leafeon/glaceon problem of all of its abilities being weather-based

[rugged comet]

I've played too much IF for a second I thought this would be good for the big bird fight

Big

[brisk hedge]

Ghetsis probably would make Zapmolcuno if he could

[rugged comet]

Probably? No from what I've seen he 100% would

[upbeat notch]

whats better for a rain team, palafin, barraskewda or basculegion

[unkempt egret]

well the latter two both have the swift swim...

basculegion also counts as two mons depending on gender

[rugged comet]

Tempting

[unkempt egret]

in general, female (special) leans more on water while male (phyiscal) leans more on ghost via Last Respects

[austere lion]

lets go

[upbeat notch]

the male one cuz physical attackers

[unkempt egret]

depends on what you want out of them

do you want a set-up sweeper like palafin? do you want an immediate nuke with not much staying power in barra? or do you want a lategame win-con in legion?

[brisk hedge]

I’ve used one before. It’s very good

[upbeat notch]

thats kinda my dillema with palafin really, the fact that i have to switch it out in a fast paced doubles format

but 160 atk is 160 atk

[brisk hedge]

It also gets energy ball by TM (I don’t remember where you get the TM though)

[unkempt egret]

it does get flip turn but yea that very much telegraphs what you're doing

it's a risk but the payoff is basically Slaking's stat spread

[upbeat notch]

I could go scarf palafin to guarantee escape first turn but who would switch in

[rugged comet]

Oh it's that thing

[upbeat notch]

wait actualy-

[brisk hedge]

It’s Luvdisc’s evolution!!! Oh wait…

[graceful osprey]

I'm gunna go off on a limb

And say sound is weak to bug

Because a lot of people scream when the see bugs

[rugged comet]

Finally at the top of the sky pillar Celestial tower

[graceful osprey]

This is such a good theme

Man

The music in vanguard has been so good so far

[rugged comet]

This does not seem safe

[graceful osprey]

It's fiiiiine

[unkempt egret]

oh right welcome to the most unsafe gym in the series

[brisk hedge]

Wait until the penultimate one

[unkempt egret]

at least the most unsafe one that doesn't involve bottomless pits

[graceful osprey]

I named my butterfree loki cause of the way catterpe looked

But now all I hear is akechi screaming LOKI

[brisk hedge]

Side note, I got stuck on this puzzle for ages as a kid ||because you have to enter the canon from a direction where it looks like you can’t||

[graceful osprey]

Sammmmme

It took me like half a hour to realize that

[rugged comet]

Clever

Ow my ankles

[graceful osprey]

Ph you're fine

Probably

It bothers me how a butterfree is carrying me

[true sphinx]

Could be worse

Get a drifloon, then you are willingly being kidnapped by your pokemon

[graceful osprey]

That's not....

Whatever good enough

[rugged comet]

Getting launched halfway across a room sounds somewhat fun, but very dangerous

[graceful osprey]

....

Am I stupid

[rugged comet]

OWW

[graceful osprey]

I think I might be

[rugged comet]

I hit that head first

[graceful osprey]

Walk it off

You're fine

[brisk hedge]

They way you slide down the wall too

This gym is a lawsuit waiting to happen

[rugged comet]

What gym isn't?

[unkempt egret]

brock's?

[graceful osprey]

Have you seen gen 5.2s flying gym?

[rugged comet]

No

[graceful osprey]

It's almost as unsafe

[brisk hedge]

At least that one doesn’t fire you straight into a wall

[graceful osprey]

Well

Technically it can

Uhhh

[rugged comet]

That was easier than I thought it would be

OW MY ANKLES

How tf does scolipede know all this, I caught it quite a bit later

[graceful osprey]

Oh

You're not psychic type

[rugged comet]

Ah he wants the secret stones he must be link in totk

What you just described seemed forceful

[graceful osprey]

Ok

The fairy psychic as a flying type

cool

And the flying type used roost...

Is it typless now?

[rugged comet]

Fury cutter has been pretty useless so far tbh

Oh that will work to replace it

Let me guess you want to fight

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/correct-plankton-gif-14118231

[graceful osprey]

Only level 25?

Cake

LOKI

Ever play persona 5?

Ah yes

Send out your 4x weak to electric pokemon into my electric type

[rugged comet]

Just watching us fight?

[dusky sable]

Im realising fan games with new region and pokemon are probably unfinished

[graceful osprey]

Oooo she's soooooo strong

[rugged comet]

Finally

[graceful osprey]

she lost to a single butterfree

[rugged comet]

I don't think I have a mon that can learn it atm

[brisk hedge]

Now that you have surf you can find 2 legendary Pokémon

[rugged comet]

I miss hm replacement items

[graceful osprey]

hey

She said the meme

if I had a nickel

Imagine being called one of the strongest

Being hyped up to be a hard fight

[brisk hedge]

I already did that earlier #other-pokemon-games message

[graceful osprey]

And your entire team loses to a butterfly

[rugged comet]

Kogha

[graceful osprey]

That's just sad

[rugged comet]

from botw

I swear you get harder to read each time I talk to you

I'm going to be in here for a while aren't I

[brisk hedge]

Since you are now in Twist Mountain, I feel obligated to ask: are you familiar with the YouTuber Chuggaconroy?

[rugged comet]

No

[brisk hedge]

Hold on one second, there’s something I need to show you

@rugged comet https://youtu.be/u5xExqw1JOU?si=7m35_OE1jh8fMY2i

The Chuggaconroy hiker dance is a definitive part of the Unova experience

[rugged comet]

Ah I just got hit by a ohko move

[graceful osprey]

Outplayed

Woa

[coarse estuary]

this is my favorite pokemon playthrough ever

[graceful osprey]

It's cool

[rugged comet]

Oh hey its cryogen from calamity

[coarse estuary]

hex making another appearance. pop off

[rugged comet]

Oh this place is a total maze

[coarse estuary]

not really. its only a maze if you want the sub and flash cannon tms

[brisk hedge]

Thankfully, it's much less of a maze in winter if I remember correctly

[unkempt egret]

I was gonna say yea in winter you can basically bypass the whole thing

and I think sub is also exclusive to winter?

[rugged comet]

Useful?

[brisk hedge]

Speaking of Chuggaconroy, in his black and white playthrough he had a Cryogonal with hidden power fire. He called it his fire-breathing snowflake

[rugged comet]

I'd say thats a glaceon thing if I've seen one

[coarse estuary]

he also pointed out how cryos back sprite aint 100% symetrical

[rugged comet]

big

He lost his legs

Care to clarify which tower?

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/no-i-dont-think-i-will-captain-america-old-capt-gif-17162888

[rugged comet]

Maybe it's this tower

[graceful osprey]

Wait

That was....

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/no-naw-what-confused-eyeroll-gif-970178360414645309

[graceful osprey]

A mega beedrill?

[rugged comet]

Noted

[coarse estuary]

while you are in that center grab the brick break tm

[rugged comet]

I did

[coarse estuary]

also backtrack for thunderbolt if you havent

[graceful osprey]

I love tailwind

[coarse estuary]

you have surf so you can get r slide and tbolt tms

[graceful osprey]

You wanted to go first?

To bad

[brisk hedge]

How do you have the location of every TM memorized

[graceful osprey]

Brick break is a must remeber

I grab it every run

[coarse estuary]

gen 5 is my favorite gen of all ive played it so much ive remembered where a lot of the good tm moves are

[graceful osprey]

WOA

Luxray looks so cool

It leads crush claw

Learns*

And has galvanize as an ability

Electric stab crush claw

Thats

Fun

[rugged comet]

I'm going to get so lost here

[coarse estuary]

also i like how in bw1 you can just casually get a gunk shot tm post game

[rugged comet]

I wonder what it is Don't tell me

[brisk hedge]

It's ||a Pokémon ||

[coarse estuary]

ooh yeah you are so close to tbolt and waterfall great tm moves to get

[rugged comet]

Party full

[coarse estuary]

well its not worth to grab anyways

[rugged comet]

Huge

[coarse estuary]

w my fave unova mon and 2nd fave of all time is about to reck

[brisk hedge]

BTW, fun childhood story about that area:
when you look at the map it shows that those 2 routes are left from Neuvma town. So as a kid, I spent so much time trying to figure out how to go left from Neuvma town to get to those routes. But no, you get there by surfing left from route 1. SO WHY DOES IT CONECT FROM NEUVMA TOWN ON THE MAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did figure it out eventually BTW

[coarse estuary]

i will say this is the game that taught me to go back and explore when i got acceess to new hms and stuff because before i played bw1 i never backtracked once i got hm access i just kept going on forward

[rugged comet]

Is this the place that you can get to in IF

[rugged comet]

Wiped to the guy with garbador

I'll blame having to have a fly mon and surf mon

It was a skill issue on my part

[graceful osprey]

That's why I like going for sammarot

I used to use emboar all the time

Then I realized he sucks

[coarse estuary]

i like to use samma so i get the bad monke and can teach it the only required hm in the intire game then box it forever

[graceful osprey]

Why is simmisage just objectively the best one

[rugged comet]

IF spoilt me with the hm replacement items

[graceful osprey]

That thing fucks me up

[coarse estuary]

because grass monke correct monke

[rugged comet]

I will keep that in mind for when I play White

[graceful osprey]

Eh?

Sound resists water?

I guess that makes sense

Uhhhh

Isn't fire resistant to ice?

[coarse estuary]

yes fire resists ice

[graceful osprey]

Ok

So sounds is weak to ice then

Cause a fire sound type was netural to ice

So....

Sound so far is weak to ice and electric

[coarse estuary]

just looked at the type chart and yep sound weak to ice

[graceful osprey]

there's a type chart?

Where

[coarse estuary]

on the discord server

[graceful osprey]

I found the xenoverse one

The....

God I'm an idiot

What channel?

[coarse estuary]

its in the gameplay discussion channel pins

[graceful osprey]

Thankee

Weak to psychic?

I wonder why

Seems like a balanced type

After all it beats fairy

The music in so good

[brisk hedge]

Emboar is the best starter for a Unova playthrough, what do you mean he sucks?

[dapper sierra]

so perhaps one of you can remember the thing i've forgotten...

Not to age myself, but when pokemon was still in its infancy, like... pre and post pokemon the first movie... I had a pokemon "board" game I guesS? It had like... big, cardboard flashcards of the pokemon and you could 'catch' them... something with little dot shaped damage markers or something? Think there were little pokeballs too or some such dealio. I think it was a game meant for younger kids. Younger than 10 year old me at the time anyway lol.

Anyone got a clue?

[rugged comet]

Strength puzzles my beloathed

[graceful osprey]

They're easy enough

Every enemy has just flying types

I have stab shock wave

This is a fun time for me

[rugged comet]

I see you over there

[graceful osprey]

Prepare for one of the best themes in the game

[brisk hedge]

Don't forget to save before-hand

[graceful osprey]

Indeed

[rugged comet]

Oh this is a bop

[graceful osprey]

Yea

One of the best themes

Gen 5 music is really good

[rugged comet]

It nearly got caught first turn

[graceful osprey]

Im sad cause I already know the next level cap will probably be 32

I fucking knew it

[rugged comet]

Got it

Geez it's tall

Big

idk who I'd replace tbh

Might just catch it and keep it as axew

[brisk hedge]

What's you team rn?

[rugged comet]

Galvantula, Scolipede, Frillish, Serperior, Gothorita, Boldore

[brisk hedge]

I'd say replace either Galvantula or Scolipede to avoid having 2 bug types

[graceful osprey]

Mever get rod of ze bug

Scolipede op

[rugged comet]

How on earth do I get there

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/all-aboard-train-choo-choo-express-locomotive-gif-20501901

[graceful osprey]

Train

[unkempt egret]

it's in Nimbasa somewhere, try sniffing around a bit

[rugged comet]

hmm

[graceful osprey]

You got rid of coil

Sadge

[rugged comet]

I don't recall it learning coil

[graceful osprey]

I think it do

Don't it?

I...

[rugged comet]

Although idk how good rivalry will be with a female axew, feel like I've seen more male pokemon in fights

[graceful osprey]

I guess I'm crazy

[brisk hedge]

Rivalry is a pretty garbage ability

[unkempt egret]

rivalry's good for counter-teaming specific things you know exist but otherwise yea it's uh not great

[rugged comet]

Maybe I try to find one with mold breaker

[unkempt egret]

mold breaker is super good lol

a bit less so in unova where there's less sturdy to take out but still nice

[rugged comet]

i've encountered so many wild boldore I want it

[unkempt egret]

perfectly valid

...oh

well that was a wild palossand/wynaut

that gave me a heart attack because it trapped my spiritomb/roselia and looked like a palossand/METAGROSS

[rugged comet]

There it is

Also every axew I've found has been female, isn't it a 50/50

[unkempt egret]

yea

[rugged comet]

Wonder if I beat you up in IF

[brisk hedge]

Probably not. He’s the bye bye a go go guy from the Johto games

[rugged comet]

Bold statement

Oh neat

[brisk hedge]

Considering the last chairman I met tried to cause the apocalypse, I’m not very trusting of chairmans

[rugged comet]

So I have no choice in starting this quiz do I

[brisk hedge]

You’re doing the quiz and you’re going to like it

[rugged comet]

Dang I suck at it

This is so useful won't have to worry about any grass types

Ah ice gym will be a slight problem

[graceful osprey]

Ghost rock is....

[rugged comet]

Not many of my team are good against it

[graceful osprey]

Shockingly annoying

[brisk hedge]

The ice gym is the easiest one in the game. You’ll be FINE

[rugged comet]

Those Ice jumps are not safe

Oh that was so easy

1 leaf blade and it died

Oh that was badge 7?

Yes yes it has

These ninjas just appear out of nowhere don't they

Ok I get knowing brycen, but how do you know Cheren?

https://tenor.com/view/told-ya-told-you-told-you-so-joey-joey-tribbiani-gif-9623434783770400086

[brisk hedge]

He’s been getting in team Plasma’s way a lot

[rugged comet]

Going to be honest gone into almost every fight empty headed

Of course I take Dragon Dance

You look like a few gamblers I've seen

[brisk hedge]

I still find it weird that they used his sprite for the gamblers

[rugged comet]

These grunts have to do something about their bug weakness

[brisk hedge]

Guess they didn’t get the memo that bug types in Unova aren’t weak

[rugged comet]

Red eyes black dragon, Joey come get your card

[brisk hedge]

They had to have made their eyes that colour on purpose. Either that or they’re based on the same thing

[rugged comet]

Wonder where a white stone could be

Couldn't be that perfectly ordinary rock at the museum right?

Oh great, back to that place

[brisk hedge]

Nope, couldn’t be. Better scrounge around a desert temple for a few hours to find it

[rugged comet]

Couldn't possibly be this

[brisk hedge]

Nope! To the desert temple with you

I’m surprised you haven’t forgotten about that stone TBH

[rugged comet]

If any game says something is extremely ordinary or something like that I know it's important

[brisk hedge]

BTW, have you gotten a fossil from relic castle?

[rugged comet]

Not yet

[brisk hedge]

True. When I first played this game as a kid though, I had long forgotten about that stone by the time it got brought up

TBF though, it took me a lot longer than 3 days to get to that point in the story

[rugged comet]

Ah you're from hoenn aren't you

[graceful osprey]

I hope next level cap is 35

I'm being gatekept by 1 level

[rugged comet]

??

[graceful osprey]

Yes

I daid this earloer

[brisk hedge]

Save first

[rugged comet]

I didn't realise the candy bar was important

[rugged comet]

I'll save mid fight

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-10358303

Close

Fight?

Oh suprised it's not

[brisk hedge]

He’s not Blue. He doesn’t challenge you to battles in the middle of a crisis

[rugged comet]

Fair

[graceful osprey]

Super fang?

Sure

That's never a bad option

[rugged comet]

Have I seen you before?

[graceful osprey]

Probably not

[brisk hedge]

Like I said, they all look the same

[graceful osprey]

There's like 8 of them

The only difference is the colors

[rugged comet]

7 sages

[graceful osprey]

And some have the same

Man

I fucking love tailwind
