Mewtwo x is siick too

ornate scarab
long charm
#

How you get mega icons?

#

Thought those wouldnt show even if the mon was a mega

proven geyser
#

would be weird if they weren't the mega icons, seeing as they natively have their own in vanilla xy/sm/usum/oras

ornate scarab
#

mhm

Dunno

oh uh. well..

my mega mewtwo seems to have the wrong mega item

#

i'll just yoink that

#

weirdo

sweet crypt
#

We've had a dolphin Pokemon since Gen 3

#

Yknow what is a well known animal that there is a suspicious lack of?

#

A turkey

#

I was gonna joke about something but idk if the country is named after the bird or vice versa

long charm
#

Maybe?

sweet crypt
#

Espathra is definitely an ostrich or something

#

I don't see any turkey in it

#

It's even called the ostrich Pokemon

#

Ig the closest to a turkey we have is like

#

Unfezant

#

Which is a pheasant

#

We also don't have peafowl now that I think about it

#

We have so many bird Pokemon and yet we still have many interesting options for more

sweet crypt
#

Fun fact: Wailord is NOT less dense than air

#

The people who made the original claim it was calculated Wailord's volume as if it were a cube

#

Wailord is obviously not a cube

#

Someone went out of their way to calculate Wailord's volume by using in game models and found that Wailord is slightly denser than air

digital root
sweet crypt
#

So it wouldn't be quite 14.5×14.5×14.5

#

Moral of the story: Whales are not square cubes

#

You can use this same logic with Primal Kyogre, a Pokemon which if you call a cube is 2 times less dense than air

#

But when you calculate things accurately, it isn't even close

digital root
#

Maybe wailmer is Quagless

sweet crypt
#

At least Wailord is only slightly denser than air

sweet crypt
#

Wailmer is approximately 4.19 m³ due to it being a sphere and not a cube

digital root
sweet crypt
#

And even if it were a cube, it would still be far denser than air sadly

sharp granite
#

so i cant catch shiny arceus in legends arceus...

#

i dont wanna buy shining pearl to catch a mon i already have...

#

like i already have a shiny arceus so why would i catch another one?

#

does anyone else know games that are good?

#

games with fakemon

coarse estuary
# naive timber all pokemon genre ig

i disagree. i think games that force the player to have the perfect max iv and max ev team and to do a 6 mon team swap for each trainer unless you want to constantly lose are not good

Most of the good games are in English, there are very few exceptions

coarse estuary

#

anybody played Pokemon Unbreakable Ties by chance?

#

really wanna try it, as it has it's own style and all 1028 Pokemon I believe

coarse estuary
tawny copper
#

is it 1025 still? why did I assume they added more...

#

ah, cause it was 1008 I think

#

and then with dlc became 1025

#

I mashed the numbers together

coarse estuary
#

lol made me think there were new pokemon added after petcha

tawny copper
#

yeah, for some reason the 3d ones are not it for me, so newer pokemon in old pixel style is a very intruguing idea for me

coarse estuary
#

man ik gens 8 and 9 are bad but give gens 6 7 and oras a chance they are good 3d pokemon games

tawny copper
#

I saw Meowscarada in this game and it was a love from first sight

tawny copper
#

you got it right

#

sun & moon I actually really enjoy how they look

coarse estuary
#

all the games after the og gen 2 and before gen 8 are good imo. some are easier than others but they are all good

tawny copper
#

scarlet & violet I like some designs like in any other game honestly

#

the music is good

#

the game itself stylistically

#

just absolutely not it

#

countless of hours watching it didn't make me wanna buy it

#

sadly

#

I like Legends Arceus tho

#

weirdly enough

coarse estuary
#

and a kicker is when they first were like you could add vivillon from go if you did so you would get your save deleted

tawny copper
#

what...

#

this is ridiculous

coarse estuary
#

yeah because with gen 8 9 and bdsp they were too money hungry to make sure a game was bug fixed and actually good before relasing it. at least arcoos and za are and will be quality games because they took the time to make them well

delicate hollow
#

Here are my “fan suggested” (if you wanna call it that as I made it up lol) new counterparts for Plusle and Minun:
a divide and subtract varient, though I can’t think of a Pokemon sounding name for them so let me know any suggestive names for me please.
(Subtract is x isn’t it? Meaning “times”?)

naive timber
#

honestly didnt like the whole point of catching pokemon to advance

tawny copper
#

it is, but the setting and atmosphere was fun

naive timber
#

as much as thats the point

#

i just like the original vibe

tawny copper
#

you see I was not raised on Pokemon

#

my first one I played in 2020 during covid

naive timber
#

my one was 2022

#

sword and shiedl

tawny copper
#

oh wow

coarse estuary
#

all you youngins lol. my first pokemon game was in 2012

tawny copper
#

sadly Pokemon games are not as popular in Kazakhstan/Russia (as any other Nintendo games)

#

so yeah I bought myself a Switch in 2020 and it was the first time I ever experienced anything Nintendo

#

and then went hard into it

coarse estuary
#

meh at least you aint one of 2 groups of pokemon haters. the ones who think there is only one way to play and if someone plays differently your wrong or the people who think you should get bullied for liking pokemon because they dont like it or something

sick iris
tawny copper
naive timber
#

yea it is

tawny copper
#

💀

#

how can there be one way to play in a JRPG

#

Coming from Shin Megami Tensei community

coarse estuary
# tawny copper How any of these groups even exist

becuase there are what us nuzlockers like to call the gatekeep swamp. basically those are people who think if you dont do the hardest fan games or rom hacks with the hardest rules you did the nuzlocke wrong and thus your run didnt count

sick iris
tawny copper
#

this whole nuzlocke culture is so far from me, sounds fun but for me rn I feel like I'm way too far

coarse estuary
tawny copper
#

like for me to actually watch it and understand I need to at least remember moves and items

#

and I forget them after each played Pokemon

#

I'm more of a "collecting everybody" type of guy

ornate scarab
#

back on my bullshit

tawny copper
#

that's why I enjoy games like this

coarse estuary
#

oh yeah nuzlocking is a skill that is learned not just had. though you cant get better at them if you never try

sweet crypt
ornate scarab
#

RIGHT

#

😭

#

i found a spearow, and then the trade ended up being shadow... 💀

tawny copper
#

I remember when I finished my first Pokedex in Platinum

#

I was like "this is the best feeling ever"

coarse estuary
#

0 out of 10 randomizer no primal with an acutal item

tawny copper
#

and then they give you a global pokedex...

coarse estuary
#

ah yes the national pokedex. #removedexit

naive timber
#

im still playing pokemon platinum

#

half way through the game

sweet crypt
#

I completed the 2 latest pokedexes

#

Being LA and SV

naive timber
#

still have heart and gold black and white black and white 2

#

X Y sun and moon

#

to complete

sweet crypt
#

I forgot why I completed SV's dex

tawny copper
#

the Gen 5 designs are my favorite by far

sweet crypt
#

But I completed L:A's dex because that's literally part of the story

coarse estuary
sweet crypt
tawny copper
#

absolutely love Liligant, Krookodile and Gothitelle

sweet crypt
#

I got all trade evos without trading

#

Since I can't trade

naive timber
#

i dont like gen 1 games

sweet crypt
#

But they aren't from SV

naive timber
#

cuz of the graphics tbh

sweet crypt
#

So they don't count for Meloetta

coarse estuary
#

rip

tawny copper
#

the menu is so 2000s

#

frutiger aero

coarse estuary
#

2000s? this is usum

sweet crypt
#

I could technically get everything except for Alolem

#

If I traded them over to L:A then evolve them

tawny copper
coarse estuary
#

yeah the thing you were refering to with the image

tawny copper
#

the game is 2017 and the menu looked like this??

#

I only saw how Pokemon looked in it honestly

#

never the game itself

sweet crypt
#

Pokemon Crystal released on December 2000

tawny copper
#

this feels like it could come out in 2008 and I would believe you

coarse estuary
#

add it to the list of people who have never played alola but hate on it

tawny copper
#

I actually really like the vibe

#

don't get me wrong

#

just didn't expect this to be the game before Sword & Shield

sweet crypt
#

Umm, ackshually, LGPE was the game before SWSH

tawny copper
#

🤓

sweet crypt
brisk hedge
coarse estuary
#

yeah but still i dont understand how people can hate on a game theyve never played as if they are an expert in said game

sweet crypt
#

I'm probably gonna play through every Pokemon Game I haven't

#

The main reason being so that I can form a proper opinion on them

ornate scarab
sweet crypt
#

Secondary reason is to prove that Pokemon was never hard, you were just bad

brisk hedge
sweet crypt
coarse estuary
sweet crypt
#

I have played a bit of Platinum but I forgot to finish it lmao

coarse estuary
#

oyu were complaining on how it looked and thats usally associated with hate toward alola

sweet crypt
#

Unless Platinum Cynthia is somehow harder than BDSP Cynthia though I think I'll be fine

tawny copper
#

I just said I prefer the 2d look more

sweet crypt
#

I've also beaten B2W2 on Challenge Mode

brisk hedge
tawny copper
#

I immediately followed with the fact that XY and SM look actually pretty good

sweet crypt
#

Including some of the post game stuff like Cynthia

coarse estuary
sweet crypt
tawny copper
#

just 2d for me is closer of a style than a 3d

sweet crypt
#

I'm gonna need an ice type that actually has ice STAB

tawny copper
#

only that

brisk hedge
#

(It’s a good counter to Cynthia’s Garchomp)

sweet crypt
tawny copper
#

I never hate on games that I didn't play

tawny copper
#

even if people objectively agree it's bad

#

Move tutor west of Pastoria

sweet crypt
#

Move reminder

#

Ice Punch should work if I can figure out how to get it on Weavile

#

I could probably also use something like Froslass but that relies on Blizzard

#

Or maybe Glaceon

#

Which also relies on Blizzard

coarse estuary
#

ice beam tm be like

sweet crypt
#

Well unless I go gambling

sweet crypt
coarse estuary
sweet crypt
#

I do think there's a copy of Ice Beam somewhere outside of the casino

brisk hedge
#

There’s also one in the wild somewhere

sweet crypt
#

But yeah, the main problem with Garchomp is how out of the way an ice type with a reliable ice move is

brisk hedge
#

Not sure why you’d want Ice beam though, considering Weavile has horrible special attack heehee

sweet crypt
#

Or Glaceon

#

Glaceon should have enough bulk to tank like

#

Does Cynthia's Garchomp learn Iron Head?

#

In Platinum?

#

But yeah Glaceon has Magnezone levels of bulk

brisk hedge
#

The Garchomp has flamethrower

sweet crypt
#

It can tank an Iron Head or two

sweet crypt
#

Tbf Glaceon's SpD is lower than its Defence

coarse estuary
#

or just be like me and plan on beating garchonmp by stalling it with tangrowth

brisk hedge
#

Or, hear me out:

sweet crypt
#

0 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Glaceon: 126-148 (46.4 - 54.6%) -- 64.5% chance to 2HKO
0 SpA Garchomp Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Glaceon: 112-134 (41.3 - 49.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

#

Yeah no Garchomp EQ would be stronger than Flamethrower vs Glaceon

sweet crypt
#

If it isn't too out of the way I'll definitely go for it

coarse estuary
#

this is the locaiton of the ice punch tutor

#

just know you need 2 red and 6 blue shards to get it

unkempt egret
#

yea I recall that being my strat in the Slowrun (though on Azumarill)

#

weavile sneasel might have issues getting in safley but at least you don't have to worry about being flinched like I was?

unkempt egret
#

dragon rush/EQ/flamethrower/giga impact for the first fight in plat

sweet crypt
#

Glaceon should be capable of tanking one Earthquake/Dragon Rush

#

Both moves do more than Flamethrower

#

Because Garchomp's ass is not a special attacker

unkempt egret
#

(in BDSP the last two moves are swords dance and poison jab)

sweet crypt
#

Wait this one doesn't even have SD?

#

Ggs

unkempt egret
#

...and dragon rush became dragon claw which is arguably less scary without the flinch chance hanging over your head, and nope

sweet crypt
#

Dragon Rush is scarier for you but also for Cynthia

#

It is an extremely unreliable move

unkempt egret
#

special attack stat of 80 which is like

sweet crypt
#

75 Accuracy lmao

unkempt egret
#

good enough to function as a "please go away skarmory" stat but not as your main offensive one

sweet crypt
#

There's a reason people don't use Dragon Rush in competitive

unkempt egret
#

also good lord I didn't realize the mega had a useless +40 onto that (for 120)

sweet crypt
unkempt egret
#

like 120 is 120 but when the other stat is 170...

unkempt egret
#

like even -5 speed would ruin the mon rofl since going lower than the vital 100 base speed threshold is huge

sweet crypt
#

I said earlier that Glaceon's bulk was similar to Magnezone's

#

But really, it's not just bulk

#

This entire stat spread is basically a slightly altered Magnezone

#

It's almost as ridiculous as Buzzwole VS Great Tusk

So Id do a Flareon

but the arcanine

Gen 3 all fire atks are special flareon best stat is physical

cheren down in bb2redux

#

only took 3 tries 💀

first i didn't remember he had 6 pokemon, second he had a random water pulse outta nowhere on like aipom or smth

ashen ruin
#

flying almost overlaps with fire perfectly in gen 3, since water/ice types aren't weak to fire anyway

#

@sturdy sparrow

#

so only use a fire type if you really want to, other than charizard there isn't that much else that has good stats for pre-split

#

arcanine is probably the best choice though because of its speed and mixed attack stats, loving to use both flamethrower and extremespeed

guys, can anyone recommend me any good rom-hacks or fan games, with the accent that I'm more into casual Pokemon collection or plot, rather than difficulty

If you play Eternal X/Wilting Y be warned, the multi battle in the Pokeball factory is e v i l

ive always wanted to try those but are they good casually meannining you dont need perfect evs or ivs and the perfect team for each figt thus allowing me to use whatever i want

Btw, shout out to the best Kakuna sprite there ever was. Honestly they should've with this design for it imo

coarse estuary
sturdy sparrow
north crow
#

they have multiple versions

#

Insanity mode is the one where you need to use perfect mons n stuff to counter your opponent's legendaries

coarse estuary
#

ok good. im just tired of all these new rom hacks/fan games being made for the soul purpose of extremely hard challenge and not taking into account the fans who just want either a new experiance with a fan gamr or a new experiance with a region they know a lot about with rom hacks

north crow
#

it is a difficulty hack regardless of the version you get, but its never too hard

#

its more like "Why did Gamefreak not give anyone 4 moves, and why did nobody have a team of 6 in the entire game"

#

rebalanced changes some stuff like BST and moves (like Cut is an auto crit grass move iirc) but there's a version that keeps this all the same aswell

coarse estuary
#

yeah im fine with that im fine with things becoming slightly more challengeing but i dont need every rom hack to be rad red/ek hard or every fan game to be reborn hard yah know

north crow
#

yeah

#

i get that

they also had an online version

before the 3ds's online got removed lol

ashen ruin
#

almost one tapped leavanny

#

and then ko'd with electroweb aoe

#

that should be burgh down

coarse estuary
#

sadly though the whole rad red/rk/reborn thing is i feel where 95% of rom hacks and fan games are going derection wise anymore because i feel like people are trying to force the idea pokemon should be the hardest thing on the planet

ashen ruin
#

yooo porygon is learning triattack so i can replace swift finally

#

3 badges in bb2r now

#

time to...rebuild my team lol

north crow

just yknow, enough push back to require less than a single A press

coarse estuary
#

like i want oppoent mons to have a strat ie the baton pass team or hail teams in insurgence e4 or like a gym leader who is x type but all but their ace is just there to buff the ace up and debuff or spred status to our mons not like i am x type master i have 6 level 100 legends of that type with hacked stats and hacked moves try to win

# tawny copper guys, can anyone recommend me any good rom-hacks or fan games, with the accent t...

pokemon Unbound (on vanilla difficulty) is great for this! The region is really neat, dialogue is good, the quality of life features are utterly amazing, many pokemon are reworked to have more thematic movepools and abilities and there's even options to make all pokemon (other than shedinja) have the same stat totals so you really don't have to worry about "good" or "bad" mons if you've ever wanted to play with ledyba and onix 😉 no new pokemon though (other than gmax forms as megas)

candid relic
#

yep, gen 8, and almost everything is catchable. there's a few legendaries you currently have to use ingame codes to get until their areas are finished someday.

tawny copper
#

Are they planning for the gen 9 by any means?

#

Up to gen 8 is honestly already cool sounding

candid relic
#

i don't think they're ever going to, no. Adding gen 8 was something the devs said they'd never do but they eventually relented, so gen 9 seems very unlikely

tawny copper
#

Sucks, gen 9 has some astonishing designs honestly that I would love to see in 2d sprites

unkempt egret
#

but yea they did also buff gen 8 mons, such as uh, giving thievul technician snarl pretty early on

unkempt egret
#

Elite Four

tawny copper
#

Oh, makes sense

candid relic
#

that's fair. they do really love their battle gimmicks.

tawny copper
#

But I’m not really scared of having tricks, I do like battles in Pokemon

unkempt egret
#

yea, at least it's endgame so you do generally have enough tools to fight back even if one of them hits pokemon masters levels of pre-prepping lol

tawny copper
#

Just not my main focus

unkempt egret
#

something like ||turbo sandstorm that gives strong buffs to all ground types on both sides?||

#

I forget it's been a while

ashen ruin
tawny copper
#

Can you make your pokemon walk with you in this game?🥺

unkempt egret
#

but yea other than that most of the other gimmicks are fine or can be worked around

tawny copper
#

I like visual QoL a lot

unkempt egret
#

shoutouts to gym 8's gimmick for being really fun without feeling unfair

tawny copper
unkempt egret
#

on another note I made it to Wyndon in my current shield nuzlocke

#

time for the gauntlet

tawny copper
#

I just wish for a Stardew Valley like Pokemon fan game, Istg, I could die happy

#

Implications of this are honestly very hard to achieve tho

unkempt egret
#

pretty much nine fights back to back with only one dungeon between

#

(though you do get PC and overworld access between fights)

#

I should be prepped enough? the only ones that are super dangerous are Allister and Leon and I still have my normal & steel combo for the former

candid relic
# tawny copper Like that, clothes, and stuff

you get to pick gender, starting outfit colors, and haircolor, there's extra outfits too but they're mostly locked behind very late game quests. Most of the neat features are things like a quest tracker that helps you along, a much faster breeding mechanic, relatively easy ways to learn moves, and etc. There's no follower pokemon barring your starter in one area sadly. they were running out of space

ashen ruin
#

what

tawny copper
#

I just love the way Pokemon look basically, like their sprites, what animal or thing they are referencing, animations if they have those. That’s honestly what’s been lacking for me in the past two mains games, the Pokemon don’t feel that alive, despite having some of the coolest designs ever, that’s why I really wanted to find a game that has those newer gen mons, in the original 2d pixelated stylistic

ashen ruin
#

also i just got skarmory in blaze black 2 redux

#

i'm appy

tawny copper
ashen ruin

It sounds crazy to get everybody, but it gets me driving in every new Pokemon game I discover

Omg

i LOVE it

#

definitely

#

tawny copper
#

My first shiny was Whimsicott

north crow
#

first shiny was a nidorino in frlg's safari

#

I caught it ofc, but i lost that save 10+ years ago

tawny copper
#

Some people play for 10 years damn…

north crow
#

second was a spoink that i evolved and hated it bc grumpig is a disaster.

tawny copper
#

I started 2020 to go into Pokemon, played for the first time in 2021

north crow
#

look at it

#

its adorable

candid relic
#

so cute!

north crow
#

i found it in XY trying to hunt Articuno

north crow
tawny copper
#

I wish I knew all the Pokemon and their gimmicks, but I think it comes with time

north crow
#

my latest shiny was 7 bronzor and 1 tinkaton

#

(this is a story that tells it's self if you know how to shiny hunt in Scarlet/Violet)

ashen ruin
#

fairy sammich

north crow
#

had to use steel lol

ashen ruin
#

why

north crow
#

but yea

north crow
# ashen ruin why

fairy was spawning other things besides tinkaton line for some reason in the ruins

ashen ruin
#

go to a different ruins

north crow
#

i did

#

i went to every single ruins on the map

#

hunted for 13 hours

ashen ruin
#

no other fairies spawn in the desert so i guess that's a glitch

north crow
#

it would just not spawn fairies, it'd spawn everything as if i didnt have a sandwich

#

same for every other ruin

ashen ruin
#

thats

#

odd

north crow
#

i think it just didnt have a big enough pool of an area to pull from, since the ruins spawn table are so small of an area

ashen ruin
#

i just recently did a fairy shiny hunt

north crow
#

i even tried the grass areas that it spawns in

#

and it didnt work there either

#

took 13 hours to hunt it only for them to announce a high chance of tinkaton line spawning with a unique stamp :)

ashen ruin
#

oh yes

still coyote
north crow
#

at least you had higher odds

#

it was complete random for me.

and also im still sad i dont have it anymore

still coyote
#

hunt it in usum then itll be quick

#

maybe only like an hour or two if your lucky

#

unlucky*

north crow
#

doesnt change the experience or memory

still coyote
#

understandable have a nice day

north crow
#

i phrased that weirdly but thanks for knowing what i meant lol

still coyote
#

u good bro

coarse estuary
#

the only 3 shinies i have rn that are real and not hacked in will hold special places in my heart. my shiny gyara in hg that was not the static one from lake of rage. the shiny galvantula in white and the shiny staraptor in legends. if anyone ones i can share stories about these shinies

north crow
#

Ayyy I got a shiny galvantula from WT

that I lost.

#

Thanks pokebank

coarse estuary
#

the shiny galvantula will always be my favorite shiny i will have ever gotten.

north crow
#

its a great shiny

coarse estuary
#

i just like the fact that it was a full odds shiny i randomly found while walking through chargestone cave after catching a reg joltik for my team.

north crow
#

lol

#

if i knew what spoink evolved into

#

I wouldve never had evolved it

mighty robin
#

I got several shiny Pokemon

#

but the only one I got legally was a zwelious in victory road of whatever game it was in

north crow
#

lmao

#

yeah we're talking full odds, not cheated in shinies

#

i cant even make a team with all of my legit shinies

#

i lost my shiny articuno as well :(

coarse estuary
#

the only sad thing about my shiny gyara in hg is nobody ever believes its a real shiny and they all think its the one from the lake of rage and not a random mon from the water behind claires gym

north crow
#

feels bad man

#

just show them the met location

mighty robin
#

what about full odds obtained in a trade cheated in shinies?

coarse estuary
#

ive tried that but they hit me with you must have edited it with pkhex

mighty robin
#

idk the terminology

still coyote
north crow
mighty robin
#

but ain’t it full odds to get a cheated pokemon in a trade?

north crow
#

no

#

there's a lot of cheated in pokemon in wondertrades.

coarse estuary
north crow
#

SV is the easiest and most annoying to get shinies in

#

since theres no way to tell if a shiny spawned other than looking for the coloration

coarse estuary
#

yeah but i dont play sv and never will play it again so i just gotta keep pressing my luck in the 4 gens i replay

north crow
#

lol

#

fair nuff

coarse estuary
#

like why cant i find random shinies when i do my usum or xy or oras runs lol. like i really wanna use a shiny in one of those games when i beat em while playin casually but at the same time i dont wanna have to hack one in or change the odds to 50% to do so

north crow
#

oh

#

i forgot the shiny beldum

#

i used that in my first ORAS run

#

but that was a gift so it doesnt really count ig

coarse estuary
#

i hope one day when i do a replay of gen 6 or 7 i find a random shiny. i really do hope

north crow
#

gl

#

itll happen eventually

#

maybe i could shiny hunt for the spoink again lol

#

and just pkhex it's date to be the original date

coarse estuary
#

on that topic what gen do we think has the better looking shinies and better looking shiny in battle sprites

north crow
#

toss up to me between gen 5 and gen 9

#

cause gen 9 re-did a lot of shinies material they fucked up in 3D from gen 6-8

#

so alot of the more metallic shinies look, well, metallic, same for the gold ones

#

but yeah i just prefer gen 4-5's sprite looks

#

if it had to be models, gen 9, but otherwise the ds games did it best

coarse estuary
#

i will say though will always feel for the people who ko shinies because they dont know what they are and think their game is glitched or broken

ashen ruin
#

gen 3...

tight granite
#

if they dont know they also wont care

#

so i dont think its bad

ashen ruin
ashen ruin
#

this person just put shiny lileep in F, 0 respect for this individual

#

gen 2 is a solid second

#

gen 2 pokemon that is

#

the pokemon that had their shinies changed in gen 3 are way better shinies

north crow
ashen ruin
#

sound off, or grinding levels and then look away for a second while the encounter animation plays

#

those are things a lot of people do

#

omg

#

my servine is evolving after this battle

Ew

I mean congrats

ashen ruin

excuse me

north crow

i hope you like it's tiny little arm leafs

Are you playing the rom hack?

Ah

it's kinda the only option

graceful osprey

Got it

So you're not stupid

ashen ruin

that or meganium

north crow

yeah its basically the only option in Blaze Black

ashen ruin

lmao

You're slightly stupid

ashen ruin

it's competitively viable though

#

so

graceful osprey

I mean

north crow
#

akshully

graceful osprey
#

I did it with tepig

north crow
graceful osprey
#

I think my team was something like

ashen ruin
#

the worst starter in all of pokemon in the original game is easily totodile

north crow
#

uh

#

in OG pokemon?

ashen ruin
#

it has no SpA

#

water was special

north crow
#

cause chikorita is right there

ashen ruin
#

"in the original game"

#

i just said that mane

#

even crunch was special so it just couldn't really use its atk

north crow
#

well i didnt know if you meant the remake.

graceful osprey
#

Emboar, Gardevoir, Lucario, Umbreon, Aggron, Unfesant

ashen ruin
#

nah

#

meganium is much worse in hgss

north crow
#

meganium is worse in both

graceful osprey
#

I won the elite 4 battle cause of umbreon

ashen ruin
#

uh

#

i mean

graceful osprey
#

The tank

ashen ruin
#

gl using water attacks

north crow
#

feraligatr just doesnt have a good physical option

graceful osprey
#

It has aqua tail

ashen ruin
#

its

north crow
#

gen 2

ashen ruin
#

that's not even a thing pretty sure, and if it were it would be special

north crow
#

it would use EQ

ashen ruin
#

yeah

north crow
#

but even then

#

surf is 95 bp

graceful osprey

Waterfall?

north crow
#

GEN

#

#

BRO.

graceful osprey
#

Ah

#

Gen 2

ashen ruin
graceful osprey
#

Before the special split

ashen ruin
#

you have to do a lot to make feraligatr good

north crow
#

not really

graceful osprey
#

The times when alakazam punched people in the face

north crow
#

79 SpAtk isnt the worse when most things weak to water have dog shit spdef

graceful osprey
#

Also it has sheer force

north crow
#

...

#

Trent

#

for fucks sakes

graceful osprey
#

It gets free life orb

ashen ruin
#

there are no abilities

#

what are you talking about

graceful osprey
#

Right

#

Gen 2

north crow
#

How are you this fucking dense

ashen ruin
#

hidden abilities weren't even in HGSS

#

bro

graceful osprey
#

Listen man I didn't play gen 2

ashen ruin
#

the first time

#

you could use

north crow
ashen ruin
#

sheer force feraligatr

#

was gen 5 hidden grottos

graceful osprey
north crow
#

i replied it so it did it's job.

graceful osprey
#

The only thing I know about gen 2 is alakazam punching everyone in the face

north crow
#

but yeah, feraligatr is OU in gen 2

#

except it didnt do that in gen 2

#

that's gen 3.

graceful osprey
#

Ah

#

Close enough

north crow
#

big diff.

graceful osprey
#

It's a 1 number difference

north crow
#

abilities were introduced

ashen ruin
#

yeah but this is playthrough talk

#

the main thing feraligatr is good for is its gym matchups, which makes it a little better than meganium in gen 2

north crow
ashen ruin
#

yea

graceful osprey
#

Meganium makes me sad

north crow
#

so while not obviously as good as charizard 2

ashen ruin
#

but in gen 4, meganium is shit

#

is what i'm tryna say

north crow
#

it definitely makes up for it

#

meganium is always shit

#

but in gen 4

#

its super shit

ashen ruin
#

gen 2 its significantly more usable

#

the main downside is that you need to catch a pokemon for the first two gyms

north crow
#

well

#

you get an onix for a bellsprout iirc before the 1st gym

#

and that onix has bide

#

so it can take care of whitney nicely.

ashen ruin
#

totodile was my first pokemon ever, if that says anything about me dissing it

north crow
#

it doesnt

#

youre more critical because youre aware of it's flaws

#

but between picking charizard 2 or the caked up lizard

#

im picking the caked up lizard

coarse estuary
#

i always find it funny when i say some of my favorite pokemon because people think im either lying or just "dont have good taste"

north crow
#

is it your pfp

coarse estuary
#

no that one is fine i dont get hate for my all time fave being toucannon, i get hate for my likes such as meganium or bruxish or lumineon or such

north crow
#

ah

graceful osprey
#

I don't hate any pokemon

north crow
#

i cant understand the idea of saying someone doesnt have good taste for having an uncommon favorite pokemon

graceful osprey
#

.....

#

Almost any pokemon

north crow
#

any of my "hate" for pokemon comes from their competitive aspect

graceful osprey
#

Legends has made me hate castcoon and silkcoon

#

Why are they aggressive

#

You're a goddamm cocoon

coarse estuary
#

true like i once was told my CASUAL PLAYTHROUGH team was bad and should be completely redid becuase its not good in competitive

north crow
#

lmfao

#

its casual

#

you can run a physical abra and get by just fine.

#

dont recommend it btw.

graceful osprey
#

So normal not rom hacks

#

My least favorite playthough was my gen 5

#

While using snivy

#

I love gen 5

north crow
#

ima be real

#

iv yet to beat gen 5

coarse estuary
#

how snivy is my fave gen 5 starter

north crow

graceful osprey
#

Int third

#

Thanks yanmega

ashen ruin
#

i love gen 5

north crow
#

but people are more open to praising it now

ashen ruin
#

like volcarona is my favorite pokemon

graceful osprey
#

Gen 5 is great

north crow
#

case in point

ashen ruin
#

worst starter from every gen (taking gym types into account)

  1. Charizard
  2. Meganium
  3. Sceptile 😔
  4. Empoleon (just not as useful as the others, all 3 are well balanced)
  5. BW - Samurott, B2W2 - Emboar Late, Serperior Early
  6. Chesnaught
  7. Decidueye
  8. Inteleon (These three are extremely balanced so it's by a small margin)
  9. These are also balanced, but Quaquaval
graceful osprey
#

I l9ved gen 5 when I played it

#

As a child

north crow
#

tbf

ashen ruin
#

gens 4-6 and 8-9 did a great job on balancing the starters for their specific games

north crow

the prf moves of meowscarada and... fire lizard

theyre just way better

ashen ruin

yeah competitively

north crow

just in general
