I'm a gen 6 fan myself. Though I'm not one for comp, i just bred the pokemon for my comp pals

wraith musk
#

some guy said

in 2 turns

graceful osprey

This is why we being a rapid spin

unkempt egret

also saying bee is also implying you got past ULTRA NECRO and got stuck there

wraith musk

Or a magic bounce

...or is this on comp in which case my b

Or boots to our ×4 weak to rock mon

Iirc, I beat someone's stall team in NatDex Ubers once with Lunala since only their Ho-Oh had Toxic

wraith musk
#

with quick attacks

#

linge

#

dual wingbeat

#

swords dance

sweet crypt
#

When I met them on ladder later, they added a new move to their Chansey

#

Which wasn't Toxic

#

But fucking Shadow Ball

graceful osprey
#

Why

sweet crypt
#

I set up on their Chansey again

wraith musk
#

yeah cuz it lost moves

sweet crypt
#

And swept

#

Again

#

I dont even think I Terastalised on Shadow Ball

wraith musk
#

like 70% if the dex lost toxic

sweet crypt
#

Because I mean

wraith musk
#

and t wave

sweet crypt
#

It's a Chansey

sweet crypt
wraith musk
#

and recovery moves (all) were cut to 8

sweet crypt
#

So Chansey would've still been able to learn Toxic

wraith musk
#

dum dum

#

also who tf uses chansey

#

we ball with drain punch urshifu

graceful osprey
#

Why does dondozo have unaware

#

That annoys me

wraith musk
#

and he curse

sweet crypt
#

I find it hilarious that I set up on someone using a Ghost move with Lunala but when you realise it is a Chansey it all starts to make sense

wraith musk
#

a lot

proper iris
sweet crypt
graceful osprey
#

Fair

wraith musk
#

he curses too much

#

he's not aware

graceful osprey
#

I guess his two abilities are Unaware and Oblivious

sweet crypt
#

Why does Kingambit get stronger when its friends die

proper iris
graceful osprey
#

Goku

sweet crypt
#

It is stated to not give a shit about whether its pawns die or not

wraith musk
graceful osprey
#

Cause he's goku

sweet crypt
#

It just sacrifices its army to brute force opponents in canon iirc

#

Instead of yknow

#

Strategising

proper iris
#

Basically that yes

wraith musk
#

it gets motivated to finish things up

sweet crypt
#

Bro does not seem like he'd power up from anger or whatever over its comrades dying

wraith musk
#

and tries it's best

graceful osprey
#

Just to get ohkod

proper iris
#

It's just opportunity

graceful osprey
#

Xause geeta is a bad trainer

wraith musk
wraith musk
sweet crypt
#

Every trainer is a bad trainer if they aren't a human trainer

graceful osprey
#

How the fuck is Geeta still top champion

sweet crypt
#

Pokemon's AI is too exploitable and overall just bad

proper iris
#

...Oh I forgot to check the Old Chateau

graceful osprey
#

Are the elite 4 just to lazy to take her spot

#

Poppy walls her

wraith musk
proper iris
#

I'm guessing she has money and pays them all

wraith musk
#

3 ???

graceful osprey
#

Ah

#

I guess 3

sweet crypt
#

If Gamefreak didn't pull punches in teambuilding, they could make up for bad AI with broken team

#

But they are clearly not doing that except for like

wraith musk
graceful osprey
#

Bdsp

sweet crypt
#

AI Professors, BDSP E4 and Volo

wraith musk
#

poor guy is both a gym leader AND a e4 member

proper iris
wraith musk
#

and he's aged

#

unlike koga

#

plus

#

BOTH jobs

#

Koga is only e4 in johto

sweet crypt
#

Like imagine Geeta if her team had optimal sets and ordering

#

Everyone would be struggling

graceful osprey
#

I love how she still has the gall to call herself top champion when Nemona beat her going all out

wraith musk
proper iris
#

We need difficulties back

graceful osprey
#

while holding back

wraith musk
sweet crypt
#

Espathra, Kingambit and Glimmora are all very threatening when built correctly

wraith musk
#

obv

#

1 of them is ubers

graceful osprey
#

She lost to a child holding back

#

Retire

wraith musk
#

lmao

sweet crypt
#

But Gamefreak is too scared to build teams optimally

#

Because children can be pretty terrible at playing games

wraith musk
sweet crypt
#

Iirc, Sada's Flutter Mane does not have Moonblast

proper iris
#

Hence why difficulties are needed

sweet crypt
#

Either that or Shadow Ball I forgor

graceful osprey
#

It has dazzling gleam

wraith musk
#

they want cool croc to use flamethrower

#

not die to a flower

proper iris
#

Older players need a challenge, kiddos need fun

wraith musk
#

yup

sweet crypt
#

Yeah Flutter Mane has

graceful osprey
#

I enjoy both

sweet crypt
#

0 Fairy STAB

proper iris
#

Or maybe either could have either.

sweet crypt
#

On Sada's team

wraith musk
proper iris
#

I know I'd like a more chill gameplay sometimes

sweet crypt
#

Otherwise though I will say its moveset is pretty strong

wraith musk
#

it needs calm mind Trollgar

sweet crypt
#

Shadow Ball, Flamethrower, Tbolt, Power Gem

graceful osprey
#

They just need to

wraith musk
#

quiver dance

graceful osprey
#

Base game out

wraith musk
graceful osprey
#

Then like 3 years later remaster the game and make kt

#

Yk ow

Hard

wraith musk
#

give darkrai dark void back

#

smeargle allegations ended a while back

sweet crypt
#

The only battle I've lost to in recent times is like

graceful osprey
#

He really didn't deserve that

wraith musk
#

ik

sweet crypt
#

Volo

wraith musk
#

oliv

sweet crypt
#

Even BDSP Cynthia, while probably one of the harder fights, was first try

graceful osprey
#

The only reason I lost to Volo is cause he was 6 levels above me

wraith musk
#

I've not played yet

#

legends

proven geyser
#

should have like "are you more experienced with the specifics of pokemon? Or do you prefer a more casual approach?"

sweet crypt
#

The playstyle of L:A is pretty tough

proper iris
#

It is

sweet crypt
#

The opponent can swap in a counter and use the SE STAB move in 1 turn

#

And that makes it far harder than any other Pokemon game

graceful osprey
#

I lovs how hard node does basically nothing is bw2

#

Like yea items

wraith musk
graceful osprey
#

But the stats for all the mons is the same

#

You just get more exp

wraith musk
#

the stats don't effect (glitch)

graceful osprey
#

Cause higher levels

wraith musk
#

but exp is higher

#

so it's easier

#

easy mod is harder

sweet crypt
#

Hard Mode increases levels, gives items, and I think changes movesets in a few cases

proven geyser
#

bw2 is free items to thief yippie

wraith musk
#

cuz -20% level game

Idk though, I don't watch the anime

wraith musk
#

or arcues is just his steed

proper iris
#

The first season should be taken with a heap of salt

#

Bc they gave no fucks

proven geyser
#

the only reason they had any real world stuff in the games and anime was because none of the pokeworlds theology existed yet

wraith musk
#

yes

#

it was uncanny reading how random places were mentioned in RBY entries

proper iris
#

It's also the funniest season partly for the same reason

wraith musk

I'm pretty sure it's straight up said where mew was in FRLG

ok so, fennekin is braixen now and has nearly 100 spatk and speed evs

wraith musk

proven geyser
#

it needs the speed bc it has less than 10 speed ivs

#

i know it's the basic playthrough but i dont care

#

im smarter now so I'm playing stronger

wraith musk
#

but-

#

the ai is too simple

#

why-

proven geyser
#

funni

wraith musk
proven geyser
#

he also has 31 hp iv

wraith musk
#

honestly for me

I just like me prismarina and delphox female

proven geyser
#

it took a couple levels to calc it for certain, but bro is beefy, the defense is also fairly high

wraith musk
#

I just take any male ralts and make em gallade

cuz why not

they're rare

proven geyser
#

ahhh i see

#

this was a more recent sc of the probable ivs

HP, atk, def, spatk, spdef, speed

sweet crypt

No wait, the last 2 numbers Both represent possible Speed

proven geyser
#

yes

sweet crypt
#

Or well

#

Lines of numbers

proven geyser
#

theyre a range

sweet crypt
#

So worst case, 20 SpA and 0 Speed

#

... That's a terrible speed IV to get

proven geyser

yes

sweet crypt

On Delphox at least

proven geyser

i was frustrated atm and wanted to sleep so i took what i got

sweet crypt

If you were forced to delete a Pokemon line, what would it be?

proper iris
#

That's a hard one...

#

... Jynx

#

Sorry smoochum, you're cute, but this is for the greater good

sweet crypt
#

Personally, all the Pokemon I hate are in a evo line... except for one

proven geyser
#

more up-to-date IV possibilities

sweet crypt
#

Goodbye Flutter Mane, some may miss you but I sure as fuck won't

unkempt egret
#

flavor wise, also jynx but for the opposite reason (sorry jynx but your child needs shelter)

proven geyser
#

fudder mane,,,, Despair

unkempt egret
#

gameplay wise, absolutely the chansey line

sweet crypt
#

Bro got hit by the Stall team

proper iris
#

Surprised no one said miltank

sweet crypt
#

Reportedly did not bring a wallbreaker

proven geyser
#

Fenn's lowest possible spatk is actually 23 apparently

unkempt egret
#

hard to catch, invalidates special attackers in-game by existing, makes a bunch of pokemon much worse in GO because of balance, ect, wvt

#

also I wasn't thinking about comp rofl

proper iris
#

Same

sweet crypt
#

Some special attackers could just bring Psyshock

#

Some can brute force it

unkempt egret
#

also miltank's fine, yall just didn't heed the "please use status moves and geodude" lesson

sweet crypt
#

Whether with pure power or SE attacks

unkempt egret
#

in-game

proven geyser
#

miltank is just bad because it's stats are high for a gym at that point

proper iris
#

We were all kids

sweet crypt
#

But yeah for the most part Blissey fucks over Special Attackers

unkempt egret
#

imo it's cheese to the same level as shedinja is

sweet crypt
proper iris
#

Also fucking rollout

proven geyser
#

miltank forced you to think more

sweet crypt
#

In fact, same for Starmie

unkempt egret
#

again, disregarding comp at all

sweet crypt
#

The biggest issue with Whitney's Miltank is the moveset, I suspect

proper iris
#

But tbh i like miltank. Cute lil dairy mascot

unkempt egret
#

the game does give you answers for rollout (ground types, dig TM, machop if you get lucky with stomp, flash to an extent

#

and yea miltank's perfectly fine for me

proper iris
#

It's that one miltank in particular that's annoying

proven geyser
#

she is just a lil gal tbh

sweet crypt
#

I haven't played a Johto game so I don't mind Miltank

unkempt egret
#

if I were deleting an entire line for flavor uuuh

hard plume
unkempt egret
#

what exactly are we gaining for gulpin/swalot? like I don't dislike them but it does kinda mess with the pollution trio of grimer/koffing/trubbish

proper iris
#

Not quite a line but I'd delete all pikaclones past gen 5

digital grail
sweet crypt
#

Imo, Gulpin line is better than Grimer line

unkempt egret
#

I legit can't think of an entire line that's just bad

proper iris
#

Sorry we already have too many cheeky critters

sweet crypt
#

And they fill the same niche

proven geyser
#

idk i dont like gulpin

proper iris
#

Gulpin is cute

proven geyser
#

not because name but

#

weird

sweet crypt
#

But yeah, I'd delete Flutter Mane, fuck Flutter Mane

proper iris

But never really used it

unkempt egret

as I said I don't mind them but

Me and my homies hate Flutter Mane

digital grail

I never had a burning hatred for any mon

proven geyser

i love flutter sm

I just like the little stomach blob

yes, even the ones that are notoriously hated

unkempt egret

actually if we're deleting any single mon

sweet crypt
unkempt egret
#

can I send stakataka to the shadow realm for that stupid lonely thing

proven geyser

i love how tilted comp players get at the funni ghost fairy

digital grail

only pokemon I hate hate is Incinneroar.

proven geyser

VGC PLAYER DETECTED

I could make a more creative Pokemon than THAT

#

Easily the least creative Paradox

#

Nothing comes close

proven geyser
#

ive never heard flutter being praised as creative at all

digital grail
unkempt egret
#

which is like one of the only mons I can think of that outright cripples itself in that sense

sweet crypt
#

Iron Jugulis? Scream Tail? Yeah, no

hard plume
sweet crypt
#

Flutter Mane is less creative than the both of them

unkempt egret

(save for GO were deleting one's attack stat is normal behavior there)

digital grail

Sprigatito did Litten better sip

proper iris
#

Ok so hear me out:
Venonat and Venomoth.
I love them with all my heart but they're so so SO weak and forgotten by everyone.
Poor guys could maybe be better left uncreated so their cuteness couldn't be forgotten

sweet crypt
#

A 4 year old could've done a better job of making a Paradox Misdreavus

unkempt egret
#

leafeon did sprigatito better tho

proven geyser
#

i mean sure but i like how simple flutter is

unkempt egret
#

so fun fact about the venos

proper iris
sweet crypt
#

What kind of Moth Blasphemy is this

proper iris
#

Sprigatito is the best name out there

sweet crypt
#

The moths are sacred beings and I will not tolerate slander

unkempt egret

after HG/SS They didn't appear again in a maingame for 12 years discounting Lets GO

proven geyser

it's not slander if you're lamenting how ass veno is

unkempt egret

missed gens 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8

I love how vikavolt is so disappointing

unkempt egret

I think Persian and Stantler also suffered the same fate outside of regional forms

graceful osprey
#

Your high sp atk don't mean nothing if you just die before you can go

hard plume
proven geyser

BUT THEY GOT REGIONAL FORMS

#

THEY WERE REMEMBERED

Don't worry

unkempt egret

It'll probably get a mega

sweet crypt
#

Venomoth is like the 3rd or 4th best Pokemon at using Quiver Dance

graceful osprey
#

Vokavolt isn't bad

sweet crypt
#

It isn't much since the only Pokemon that's good at using Quiver Dance is Volcarona

graceful osprey

It's just very slow

sweet crypt

But still

hard plume
proven geyser

VOLCARONA WOO WOO WOO WOO

digital grail
sweet crypt

Volcarona is so peak

proper iris

Also Meowth got a lot going for him and won't ever be forgotten, so the line itself isn't being forgotten anytime soon

graceful osprey

It has a really good special attack stat

i lOVE POKEMON THAT THE GAME PRETENDS ARE LEGENDARY FOR NO REASON ITS FUNNNNNNNNY

Even if Persian is not as remembered

We need a new class of mons.
"Faux mythicals"

unkempt egret
#

actually now that we have "legends" at like 540 and 550 BST

sweet crypt
#

It was presented as an extremely rare and powerful Pokemon

graceful osprey
#

I'm not ok with it

sweet crypt
#

And the obtainment method matching up makes sense

proper iris
#

For all the ones we had presented to us like if they were mythicals/legendaries but weren't

graceful osprey

So what's your point

proven geyser

i love how stupid the levels are in unova its so ass and you wanna rip your fucking hair out but its SO FUNNY

proper iris
#

Zoroark, Lucario, Rotom, etc

sweet crypt
unkempt egret
#

and now the ones that aren't presented as mythicals/legendaries but are glares at meltan*

sweet crypt
#

Rotom doesn't evolve and is not very eligible for this discussion

graceful osprey
#

I love how the zoura in gen 5 is required for the dex but requires a specific event celebi from hgss

hard plume
# proven geyser rotom duh

Gonna be honest
I do like that rotom got converted from legendary to "surprisingly common"
it really does make you think what people consider as "legendary".
And I like that the three birds have galarian forms. It hints that there is a possibility that the three birds are more common in some areas.
And I would love to learn more about it

graceful osprey
#

If you don't have this celebi then fuck you

sweet crypt
#

Lucario is also not very great but more importantly I HATE FRIENDSHIP EVOS AAAAAA

unkempt egret
#

they really wanted it to be Unovian Lucario

graceful osprey
#

No dex for you

#

I'm fine with friendship evos

hard plume
graceful osprey
#

The ones I hate are time specific

sweet crypt
#

Riolu's evolution is even worse than JUST a friendship evo

proven geyser
#

friendship is fine, yeah time specific

unkempt egret

but then people just wanted lucario itself and GF didn't try to replicate a mascot again outside of pikachu (tradition)

I wish we had some kind of weather prediction system.

graceful osprey

It took me a solid 2 fucking hours to evolve my sliggo

hard plume

that way, we can tell which areas are rainy, sunny, or snowy

The worst evo method is trade evos

#

And Palafin

graceful osprey
unkempt egret
#

I mean gen 8 does at least

sweet crypt
#

Those 2 are equally ass

proper iris
#

No but like, when there's two possible evos for different times of day, it's less bad than if there's only one evo

Is there a competitive scene for Legends?

So no

Why can't we battle

It is also just definitely not meant to be played multiplayer

It's a bit ironic how I talk about worshipping moths when my PFP is Latios

hard plume
#

if you squint hard enough

sweet crypt

The context for me worshipping moths is that I made a Mono Moth team when SV was new

It was ass but it was incredibly funny

we could have a moth for every type

Then we give them all the weather abilities at the same time

We can also buff Frosmoth's stats while we're at it

holy shit it might be possible

there are aquatic moths

Especially now the modding community for the 3ds is thriving

#

i was planning on getting a 3ds tbh

#

since there is a ton of mario games

#

and pokemon ig

#

whats the difference between the 2ds and 3ds tho

#

2ds has the same games

graceful osprey
#

I love how my fire type can learn giga drain

graceful osprey
#

Feels awful to hold

#

And is permanently flat

#

Please of the dumbest ideas they had by far

#

HOW DID YOU GET PLEASE OUT OF ONE

#

God I hate autocorrect

naive timber
#

lol#

naive timber
#

ill prob get a 3ds soon

#

used though

#

but good condition of course

graceful osprey
#

If you cam get an xl

naive timber
#

yeah i might

#

i wish you could play 3ds games on a switch man

#

ive got a switch oled

graceful osprey
#

My hands are even that big and it hurts my hands to use a normal 3ds for to lomg

naive timber
#

llike i wish it was possible to play nds 3ds and gba games on a switch

graceful osprey
#

It probably is

naive timber
#

yea

#

probably through modding though

graceful osprey
#

Yea

#

There's a switch cartrage that can fit a microsd card

naive timber
#

i swear the only point people actually get a 3ds nowadays is just to mod it

graceful osprey
#

Just put a rom on that

#

Nintendo hates it but hey

#

Fuck them

#

They're greedy assholes

naive timber
#

nintendo actually hates everything

#

they tryna sue palworld 😭

#

they just love to ruin peoples lives

graceful osprey
#

Of course

naive timber
#

didnt know chimchar evolved at lvl 14

unkempt egret
#

want people to play their games as intended, any other way is disrespectful to their vision

graceful osprey
#

there's a reason I pirate bw2

naive timber
#

lol

graceful osprey
#

just for the cartrage it's $400 minimum

#

I don't have that kind of money

Bruh

#

I have both bw 1 and bw2

naive timber
west jasper
#

(I have all the games actually)

graceful osprey
#

Even if I did have the many for it I'd save it for a pc

unkempt egret
#

also yea the prices probably skyrocketed once COVID hit

west jasper
#

This is a very long time ago tho.

naive timber
#

what the heck

#

why are the nds games so expensive

west jasper
#

I havent bought a game in 10 years at least.

naive timber
west jasper
#

Naah.

#

I got them for christmas.

naive timber
#

every single one?

west jasper
#

Probably around 40$ to 50$

graceful osprey
# naive timber it is?

Maybe not that high but since so few cartrages were made they can kinda just charge you whatever

west jasper
graceful osprey
#

And there's nothing you can do about it

graceful osprey
#

And then there's stuff like this

#

Which is sketch as hell

west jasper
#

I believe I got hg ss emerald diamond pearl platinum at the same time

#

For 40$ at gamestop

aint no way

This is 2011 during the market crash

naive timber
#

i see why people buy 3ds now

proper iris

Not to mention the physical modding! A lot of people like to make new shells

naive timber

shells?

#

Yeah, the plastic body

I lied, no hg or ss

One of these thing is not like the others

One of these thing is fake

naive timber
#

yall what are essential 3ds games to play

graceful osprey
#

Can you guess what one

naive timber
#

i had a 3ds before (borrowed for like a week)

#

but i just played lego

proper iris
#

If you get a modded 3ds, you can install anything

#

All games you feel like playing

#

So no need to worry with cartridges

#

Unless you like collecting those

naive timber
#

any of you people know where i can get a cheap 3ds

#

i wanna get one for like 60-80

graceful osprey
#

Nope

graceful osprey
proper iris
#

You'll find broken ones at that price

#

If any.

proven geyser
#

thats kinda hilarious lmao

naive timber
#

lol

proven geyser
#

what was the condition lmfao

naive timber
#

i think the cheapest at the moment is like 130

proper iris
#

2ds may be cheaper but not by much.

proven geyser
#

the one that can close is probably more expensive

proper iris
#

Also you can't fold it so it's clunky as hell

naive timber
#

yeah cheapest one you can get used (with good condition) is 130

#

from where i am yes

proven geyser
#

it's a fair price tbh

naive timber
#

yea

proper iris
#

Sounds like a decent deal, but ask about the battery

naive timber
#

i would get a 3ds but i need a new pc rn 😭

#

so i can play other games

#

and need more storage

proper iris
#

Sometimes they're so bad you'll need a new battery and that's another expense

naive timber
#

i had to delete valorant to free storage

#

😭

#

at least i got it on my console

proven geyser
#

bro thats just self care

My Ds and 3Ds both still work

Really? Wow

Here in Brazil it's way more expensive

Do you not have amazon?

when you mod a 3ds do you just instantly have every game

proven geyser
#

no

graceful osprey
#

I will say

#

If you're going to mod one

proven geyser
#

that's kind of a dumb assumption no offense

graceful osprey

Just get an xl

Make it not awful on your hands

There's a reason I take week long breaks from Nintendo stuff

yeah i figure, it's usually shipping that sucks

proper iris
#

Worst case scenario, i got a bunch of old rechargeable batteries and can solder up an external pack/power bank

#

Planning on using my 3ds as a controller for my switch emulator

#

Managed to do it before, just gotta figure out if I can use the touchscreen and accelerometer/gyroscope too. If so, perfection

... Apparently it's possible – on Linux.

I was just reminded of a science channel I watch, where to announce a fossil that was named "turtwig" (was mistaken as a leaf fossil, was actually little turtles), the host dressed as Roarke.

#

Also moment of appreciation for the fact we're getting fossils named after pokemon. And that this isn't the first one.

There's also Bulbasaurus phylloxiron

While it didn't quite look like the green dinofrog we all know and love

It still would've been right at home in the pokemon world with these looks

... So.
Togetic metronomed "ingrain".
Metronome was the only attacking move it had for now.

Gen 6 beta Mega stats have been revealed and guess what?

#

Garchomp was robbed

tight granite
#

good#

proud igloo
#

You know how we all joke Mega Garchomp is worse than normal Garchomp?

#

Because it is

#

Well turns out it wasn’t the case before.

#

Instead of having +20 Special Attack that nobody asked for, it had +20 SPEED

#

Can you imagine how horrifying that would have been?

#

170 Attack plus 122 speed?

unkempt egret
#

losing 10 points in the one stat everyone cares about smh

#

probably guessed that was too strong even by mega standards lol

proud igloo
#

The nightmares would be unreal

#

And again, I find Megas getting nerfed to be a joke

#

Given Mega Rayquaza exists

#

Another nightmare is Mega Charizard Y

proper iris
#

Mega rayquaza and the primals are understandable

proud igloo
#

Didn’t used to have Drought

#

It’s original ability was GALE WINGS

proper iris
#

Legendaries having super broken megas is OK

#

But the rest

#

Was a bit too much

naive timber
#

the best legendary is

proud igloo
#

You know the one ability that made Talonflame broken in competitive meta?

proper iris
proud igloo
#

Venusaur had +2 Attack, -10 Defence -2 Special Attack and +10 Special Defence

#

Alakazam used to have Magician instead of Magic Guard

#

Gyarados didn’t have Mold Breaker, instead it had Strong Jaw. It also had +10 Attack and -10 Special Defence

#

Ampharos had +20 Speed, - 10 Defence and Special Attack

proper iris
#

Fffffffffffffff Pecha the Pachirisu is down

proud igloo
#

Scizor had + 20 Speed and - 10 Defence and Special Defence.

proper iris
#

Goddamn bibarel with rollout

proud igloo
#

Houndoom had + 20 Special Attack and - 20 Speed

#

Blaziken didn’t have Speed Boost, it had Moxie

#

Actually that would have been worse imo

#

And both Mega Lati had + 20 speed

#

But as a consequence Mega Latias lost 10 Defence and Special Defence, while Mega Latios lost 20 Attack

naive timber
#

is it still possible to mod a 3ds even tho eshop and online services are gone

proper iris
#

You don't use eshop

#

Or official Nintendo stuff

proud igloo
#

Finally Lucario had + 5 Attack and Special Attack, -8 Defence and -2 Speed

#

In addition some Gen 6 Pokémon had different base stats then in the Final Cut

proper iris
#

Here.

#

All you'll need to know

proud igloo
#

For starters 50% Zygarde didn’t have the pansy stats that made it wors then Xerneas and Yvetail

#

It had the same BST as them

#

Delphox and Greninja were meant to be mono typed.

#

Furfrou had - 20 speed

#

Tyrantum had + 20 Attack and - 10 Defence and Special Defence

#

Aegislash had + 20 HP

#

Honedge and Doublade had Stance Change like their final evolution

#

Barbaracle had - 13 Attack and + 13 Special Attack

#

Talonflame had + 22 Attack so it was meant to be even more broken

#

Clawitzer had - 29 Special Attack

naive timber
proud igloo
#

And finally Sylveon had Synchronise instead of Cute Charm

proper iris
#

Not to be That Guy, but Dino, could you please send all that as one message instead of a hundred next time?

proud igloo
#

Some were obviously nerfed due to balance issues but the others confuse me

#

Some people don’t like a wall o text though

proper iris
#

It ends up as a wall of text anyway.

#

Only one wall of text has sounds going off every second and the other wall of text has sounds going off once

naive timber
#

the other 3 could be good prices (not 2nd)

proper iris
#

Oooo

#

That aliexpress one could be a good lead

#

Looking for refurbished ones may be cheaper

#

As long as you're careful and don't do this

#

Refurbished ones should be just as good as any other 3ds, if not better bc fresh parts that aren't as worn

#

Also unless your hands are tiny, go for a 3DS XL

#

The classic one is very small

#

Ds lite for comparison

#

Maybe it's just me, but the smaller ones tend to give me hand cramps.

#

And wrist pain

#

Or maybe I'm just playing for too long

proper iris
#

FINALLY

#

FINALLY BEAT FANTINA

#

This was way harder than it has any right to be

#

Peach, Boris and Rouge were the heroes here.
Wanda tried her best.

#

Also i wonder if Fantina was retroactively made Kalosian...

unkempt egret
#

aaaa i missed like half of x10 stardust hour aaaa

proper iris
#

Rip

unkempt egret
#

also not sure? I think Masters or BD/SP would probably be where it would be confirmed or denied

proper iris
#

Just checked bulbapedia, seems no info.

#

Also in the JP version she speaks English and not French

unkempt egret
#

yea apparently she's supposed to be english in JP (and french) so might be closer to unovian than kalosian

proper iris
#

Yeah

#

So who knows at this point

proper iris
#

Just realized that's how she can do both

#

Now we just need a Canada region

unkempt egret
#

also wow masters really did not do much with her ROFL

#

then again Sinnoh seems to be pretty ignored by mas outside of cynthia and dawn

#

compared to kanto and unova which both get stuff without even trying rofl

proper iris
#

Kanto is the favorite, and Unova has the most fleshed out characters so

#

Makes sense

radiant leaf
#

I always get confused with the sinnoh gyms. Cus plat changed them so I get really confused when ppl say Fantina is the third gym when in my mind it’s Maylyene or however her name is spelled

proper iris
#

Bro I'm just as confused bc they didn't change the badge box

#

So I was "ok fighting gy– wait what"

#

and then I also forgot Fantina was ghost type and not psychic

unkempt egret
#

isn't it also a case where you can fight maylene and wake in either order if you want

#

I think plat changed that tho

radiant leaf
#

Like ik DP suck in terms of dex and stuff but why did they have to change the leader order, pretty sure it’s the only mainline game to do so (black and white 2 don’t count, they’re technically separate games from bw, platinum is the enhanced version)

i miscounted evs

super training can only go to 252 in a single stat, and it just maxxed out, so braixen has 252 in speed

#

bout to go woop charren in battle so i can finally go backtracking with hms in my white playthrough for my fall/winter fave games replay

proven geyser
#

so, because i've been miscounting, my ivs can only be rough estimates

#

i can infer my speed is not zero, but it can't possibly be above 10

#

the maxxed speed in super training should relieve that, though

#

thankfully, it can also be assumed the defense and spatk are between 25-30!

#

atk is 17 or under, so foul play shouldn't hit as hard

#

special def is 6-17, so while i'm looking for a flabebe i should keep exp share on lmao
