why would goodra be poison?

[next moon]

Its covered in slime

It learns sludge bomb

[sick anchor]

it learns more water moves

[next moon]

But poison type is based

[sick anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/goodra-pokemon-pokemon-goodra-water-surf-gif-10976509889917748796

[vernal garnet]

land shaymin should probably be grass/fairy

goodra feels more water imo

[next moon]

I will die on my hill that if crustle is a bug thought so should kingler

[vernal garnet]

eevee shold be stellar type

[sick anchor]

no?

[brisk hedge]

It probably would be, but they seem to not want to change any legendary Pokémon’s type after it’s introduction

[next moon]

Why not. They're both crabs

[sick anchor]

looks more like a bug

[next moon]

Bros never seen a hermit crab

[vernal garnet]

crustle is a hermit crab. if anything it should be water

[brisk hedge]

Speaking of legendaries, Darkrai should be part Psychic since Nightmares happen in the brain

[next moon]

Hermit crabs are land crabs

[sick anchor]

exactly

[vernal garnet]

do they not live on beaches or am i stupid

[next moon]

They go to the beach to get/exchange shells

[vernal garnet]

ahhh ok. i see yor point

[next moon]

They mainly live on the inner parts of the islands

Also crustle evo that's a coconut crab

[vernal garnet]

dwebble

[next moon]

What?

[vernal garnet]

thats the preevo of crustle

[next moon]

No a new kingambit type evo

[vernal garnet]

huh?

[sick anchor]

?

[next moon]

Coconut crabs are the big grabs that grew out of their shells

[brisk hedge]

A new evolution for Crustle

[vernal garnet]

but there aint one

[next moon]

THEY SHOULD MAKE ONE

[sick anchor]

who cares about crustle

[next moon]

Me

[vernal garnet]

crustle is cool cmon

[sick anchor]

i forgot crustle was a pokemon until now

[next moon]

Ive done a bug type play through of black 2 and had fun with crustle

[tight granite]

alreday have a coconut crab tho

also don think a crab ever got a third form in pokemon

im not counting gigatamax

[next moon]

We need one

[tight granite]

not saying no, but crustle is already big enough

if then the blue srhimp needs a third one

it only having a bigger hand is borin

[next moon]

That or an Alaskan spider crab

[tight granite]

i could see that one

[next moon]

What if it had 2 of the pistol shrimp claws?

[sick anchor]

why do you know so much about crabs

[tight granite]

why not

[next moon]

https://tenor.com/view/maryland-flag-state-gif-4817298

I'm also a bio nerd

[tight granite]

also mixed up which mon wass the coconut crab, thought it was Crabomible but that was the Yeti Crab, Crabrawler is the Coconut Crab

[next moon]

Is there an actual lobster pokémon?

[tight granite]

yea

[next moon]

What?

[next moon]

That's a crayfish

They're fresh water

[sick anchor]

whats this one?

[next moon]

Pistol shrimp

[sick anchor]

so fast too

[tight granite]

Crawdaunt is a lobster and based on a crayfish

i will give you corpish tho

[next moon]

And alternate name for crayfish is crawdad

It's a crayfish

[tight granite]

and a lobster

i even said crayfish

[tight granite]

.

[sweet crypt]

Team water, then give it Poison Heal

[tight granite]

a pokemon very rarely is based on 1 thing

[tight granite]

infact it knowing dragon dance is based on lobster in chinese being dragon shrimp

[next moon]

Crayfish

[tight granite]

and lobster yes

[sweet crypt]

If Darkrai becomes a Psychic type, I nominate Cresselia to get a secondary type too to be fair. And I nominate the Fairy Type, since Cresselia is linked to the moon and both Moonblast and Moonlight (the 2 non signature moves linked to the moon) are Fairy moves

Anyways the personal change I'd make is Lunala's Psychic type to Fairy, fuck the prevo types, fuck the trio types, fuck the reasoning, I think Fairy is extremely valid too and Psychic is such a bad type, and even worse with Ghost

[next moon]

It's just a crayfish

[sweet crypt]

Though if I were being more realistic I'd probably pick Goodra into Dragon/Water lmao

But this is personal

[sick anchor]

right

[sweet crypt]

So screw that

[next moon]

I perfer poison

[sweet crypt]

Goodra can be either Dragon/Water or Dragon/Poison

I think both are equally valid

But I also want to give Goodra Poison Heal >:)

[sick anchor]

why would it be poison if they learn more water moves

[sweet crypt]

Also, Kalos already has a GOATed Dragon/Poison type

[sweet crypt]

Tbf, Lunala's best damaging Psychic move by level up before Gen 9 was Confusion

So like

[next moon]

Fellow dragalge enjoyer spotted

[sweet crypt]

Gamefreak wouldn't give a fuck

[sick anchor]

still why would it be poison

[sweet crypt]

But I do, Lunala should be Fairy type instead of Psychic

I know there's a theme here but god damn it Ghost/Psychic is such a painful type

Psychic does jack shit for this combo

[next moon]

Why is donphan a ground type?

[sweet crypt]

Turn Donphan into a Normal type frfr on god

[next moon]

Even rock type would make more sense

[sick anchor]

"DONPHAN’s favorite attack is curling its body into a ball, then charging at its foe while rolling at high speed. Once it starts rolling, this POKéMON can’t stop very easily."

it shouldnt be

[sweet crypt]

Donphan becoming a Rock type would be so disastrous for its viability

And Ground makes enough sense to me

So I'd definitely keep it as a Ground type

Slow Rock type doesn't end well

Rock defensively is like Ice

Except instead of having 1 good resist

[next moon]

Garganigal

[sweet crypt]

It has a few redundant ones

[sweet crypt]

Bad example

Garganacl always wants to be not a Rock type

And does so with Tera

[sweet crypt]

Hey still has a good resist though

[next moon]

Who's wasting their Tera on garganacl?

[sweet crypt]

It has like Fire

[sweet crypt]

Garganacl is a menace when it actually has Tera

If it doesn't, it struggles

[next moon]

No. Just salt cure and recover your way to victory

[sweet crypt]

Similar to a Pokemon like Serperior except at least it could somewhat do its job even with a shit defensive type

Garganacl wants Tera

Serperior NEEDS it

[next moon]

Again no

[sweet crypt]

Why would you want to keep Rock as a defensive type then?

It's basically just Fire resist and then a shitload of bad weaknesses

[next moon]

I was talking about serperior

[sweet crypt]

Idk, you don't see Serperior on OU ladder for a good reason

It simply struggles to sweep if it can't get more coverage

[next moon]

Because it so often only runs grass stab attacks it's better staying grass

[sweet crypt]

Literally relying on Dragon Pulse as coverage

Is just so, so sad

[sweet crypt]

It runs Tera types like Rock or Fire as coverage

But then without them it struggles to break past Pokemon too much

[next moon]

No. It sub seeds down its resists until they're in range of a leaf storm

[sweet crypt]

I guess you could try to do that

But it simply won't be optimal compared to other sweepers

[next moon]

I've done it before. Better then pure offense

[sweet crypt]

And clearly, neither are quite OU standard

[next moon]

Ou standard is whack though

[sweet crypt]

It's not like this is something like Weavile or Deo-S, where ladder thinks it's not up to par but it is

Serperior is ranked at B in the OU VR

[next moon]

Deo-S?

[sweet crypt]

The only OU Pokemon that are this low or lower are like, Araquanid and Blissey

[sweet crypt]

Yeah fucking Deo-S is UU lmfao this gen is bizarre

It's still good in OU though

This gen is so fucking wack

But it is what it is

[next moon]

Who is Deo-S?

[sweet crypt]

Deoxys Speed

[next moon]

So good mons

[next moon]

Yeah that makes sense

[sweet crypt]

Blissey is good on Stall and nowhere else

[next moon]

So the best team

[sweet crypt]

I cant speak for Araquanid though since I haven't used it

No, not really

[sweet crypt]

Stall definitely has taken a hit compared to previous generations

[next moon]

It's the best team

[sweet crypt]

Blissey's ranked at B-

[next moon]

Best. Team

[sweet crypt]

Oh right VR also ranks Meows at B tier

[next moon]

Qwilfish use explosion on this guys mom

[sweet crypt]

Generally I feel like OU Pokemon are in B+ or above with these few exceptions

[sweet crypt]

Nuh uh pivots Dragapult into Explosion

[sick anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/quagsire-pokemon-wooper-huh-huhh-gif-10333941026352545707

[sweet crypt]

See, that saves your opponent too

You want them to die for literally 0 reason that shit is funny

But yeah, to be fair to Serperior

It being not up to par to Gen 9 OU standards isn't too bad

Since yknow

It's Gen 9

Gen 9 OU is crazy

Being UU is definitely respectable, though considering it has to deal with shit like Lokix there, things could be a lot better

[sweet crypt]

You already exploded

It's over

[next moon]

I have 2 qwilfish

[sweet crypt]

I U-Turn out of your 2nd one into uhhh

[next moon]

I actually have 6 qwilfish

[sweet crypt]

Great Tusk, yeah

[next moon]

Toxic stall

[sweet crypt]

Surely H-Qwilfish Hydro Pump doesn't fucking annihilate it

(It probably does lmfao)

[next moon]

Who actually uses hydro pump?

[sweet crypt]

252+ SpA Squirtle Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Great Tusk: 362-428 (97.5 - 115.3%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

[sweet crypt]

People who need that extra damage for the damage rolls

[sweet crypt]

Sometimes, risking a miss to get a 2HKO is a lot better than not risking a miss but having to deal with a 3HKO

[next moon]

When I use it, it's more like 25 percent

[sweet crypt]

And then sometimes you miss and die lmfao

But that doesn't matter simply land the Hydro Pump fr

[next moon]

Id rather just surf

[sweet crypt]

The only moves where it genuinely feels like the accuracy lies to me are the ones with 90% accuracy or more but under 100% accuracy

I swear Play Rough, Aqua Tail, Heat Wave etc like

NEVER land when I'm using them

Fucking fraudulent ass moves

And these moves also don't even have that much power

At least 70% accurate moves like Focus Blast pack a lot of punch

These ones have average damage and imperfect accuracy

What makes Play Rough the worst out of these is that there's 0 good alternative

Spirit Break? On 2 Pokemon, and with a pathetic fucking BP

Magical Torque? Lmfao.

Oh by the way

Heat Wave is apparently fire breath

According to the move description

So why the fuck can so many bird Pokemon learn it?

Why?

Nothing makes sense

Tbf, we have a 2 tailed bull using Snowgrave on the unsuspecting thunderbird

So like

I dont really know why I'd expect any

[coarse estuary]

time to start my genlocke on my green day 2ds

[sweet crypt]

Hello I just finished questioning some game design choices and debating on if Serperior is OU standard or not

[rugged comet]

How is it that I never found any shinies in other main games, and now I have 3 full odd shinies in violet

A goat, a gremlin, and now a gear

[rugged comet]

Ok excluding legends arceus

[sweet crypt]

Feels like shinies in SV are easier to find if you aren't hunting for them

At least, I never hunt for shinies, and SV is the mainline game I have the most shinies in

Well, excluding PL:A

[rugged comet]

I found the goat while looking for the shiny cetottle from the outbreak

[sweet crypt]

But that doesn't count

[rugged comet]

Also just saw a braviary flying at max speed

[sweet crypt]

Iron Hands outruns the player (not miraidon/koraidon though)

Yet Iron Bundle, a Pokemon with far more speed than Iron Hands could possibly dream of, is slower

What

Yknow, that gets me thinking

If Pokemon speeds were based off their base speed, how much more terrifying would SV be?

Using Iron Hands as the Pokemon to base all others on because I love chaos

[sweet crypt]

NOW what would being chased by Iron Bundle look like?

[rugged comet]

It was zooming

[sweet crypt]

Honestly I feel like a Braviary would be canonically faster than that even casually

[rugged comet]

Also found the shiny bronzor like 5 seconds after video ends

[sweet crypt]

Lol

Tbf if we tried to make Pokemon speeds more canon

[rugged comet]

It was behind the wall on the left

[sweet crypt]

Miraidon/Koraidon would cross the map so fucking fast

It'd be ridiculous

[rugged comet]

It's so annoying how long some tera raid mons can stall my turn

Did they really need to do 3 things in a row

Who do you think the best npc teammates are?

I like the one with the gardevoir because life dew

[sweet crypt]

None of them

Except maybe the Intimidators for physical attackers

[rugged comet]

It is funny seeing a physical mon just lose all their dmg to intimidate

[cloud lark]

I'm still split on my opinion on raid fights

On one hand it's a convenient way to get new Pokemon and can make for an interesting online experience.

On the other it's agony relying on NPC helpers and online randos are rarely smarter

Also the lag is atrocious

[vernal garnet]

drifblim/arcanine for attack lower is always welcome

[sweet crypt]

The one time you'd rather have NPCs help you

Over teammates

... Actually, to be fair, sometimes it feels like bots in Pokemon Unite play better than most actual players

Maybe Pokemon fans just have chronic skill issue

Would explain why there's like a singular thing I'm good at

And 2 other things I'm above average at

[boreal storm]

True, like why the hell does there still people who use the leftovers?

[sleek jewel]

Spider bike spider bike does whatever a spider bike does

[clear dew]

im not even at the first gym and ive lost all this power lol

[sleek jewel]

What's this?

[clear dew]

pokemon insurgence

[vital flare]

well theres a fangame i havent seen in a while

[last egret]

The best fangame ever made

I love insurgence it has arguably the best story I’ve ever seen in a fangame

Unpopular opinion:
Pokémon mystery dungeon explorers of sky is the most underrated spinoff Pokémon game

[boreal storm]

I hope we can see how pokemon wear their held item

[sleek jewel]

That's not what I meant

[clear dew]

then what did you mean

[sleek jewel]

What are you doing

Is what I mean

[last egret]

Would you rather see a Legends Celebi in ancient Johto or a Legends Jirachi in ancient Hoenn

[sleek jewel]

Sure?

Idk what that means

[last egret]

Imagine a Legends: Celebi game that takes place in ancient Johto

Would you want that or one with Jirachi in ancient Hoenn? @sleek jewel

[sleek jewel]

Idk both sound "meh"

I actually want a pokemon game that instead of these futuristic stuff and more steampunk days

I mean we already had ancient history like legends arceus and later will have pokemon AZ

[clear dew]

randomized nuzlocke

[sleek jewel]

What's with nuzlocks

[unkempt egret]

a mon faints = can't use it anymore
only catch the first thing you see on a route

those are the two base rules of it

[last egret]

I thought an original rule was you have to name your Pokémon

[unkempt egret]

that was not a core rule but it is one that's frequently followed yea (white out = game over is in the same boat: not core but frequently used)

[rugged comet]

Just got scammed in a 5 star raid, there were like 3 seconds left of the timer and the mon ended the battle

All I had to do was attack once to win

[brisk hedge]

You know what else is a scam? The fact that when you get KOed in a raid, it both cuts down on the timer AND makes it so you can't do anything for a few seconds

[rugged comet]

That is annoying

[rugged comet]

It's a somewhat annoying raid as well, it's a ninetales tera steel with flash fire, and I decided to use a fighting type

And the ninetales loves to spam will-o-wisp

And it doesn't miss

Maybe I should see if I have a guts mon

Not a single one

[unkempt egret]

gotta have some punishment for fainting. at least the AI no longer incurs the penalty like it did in gen 8

[brisk hedge]

The punishment for fainting should be either cutting down on the timer OR making it so you can't do anything for a few seconds. Not both

[quasi dagger]

i just found a shiny chansey in legends arceus and it despawned before i could catch it😭

[tight granite]

Should have caught it then

[sweet crypt]

"Underrated opinion" proceeds to list what is probably the most popular spinoff

[brisk hedge]

That is fishy's MO

[sweet crypt]

I'd rather see a Pokemon Necrozma in Alola or a Pokemon Kyurem in Unova

[last egret]

Not true. The most popular and well liked spin-offs are Pokémon snap and Pokémon ranger

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is an afterthought to the majority of the community

[sweet crypt]

I'm being trolled rn aren't I

[last egret]

No

If you look at pure sales, Pokémon Snap made way more money than mystery dungeon

Selling more copies = more popular

Financially speaking

[brisk hedge]

As much as I like Ranger, it is not more popular than mystery dungeon

[last egret]

Financially it was

Pokémon Ranger sold more copies than Explorers of Sky did

Explorers of Sky was actually one of the least successful Mystery Dungeon Games financially speaking

Partially cuz it’s just PMD Time & Darkness with a few refinements and new features. But that isn’t really the main reason why it wasn’t successful

[last egret]

Ask yourself this honest question, have I ever trolled before? I have not, so why would I start now?

[coarse estuary]

all ive ever seen you do is troll

[elfin shadow]

Anyone play Pokémon cards?

[unkempt egret]

regular tcg pocket tcg

...which my brain keeps auto-typing as "tgc" because of vgc lol

[coarse estuary]

gym one of leg one of the genlocke down

[unkempt egret]

a grand journey begins

hope yours goes better than mine did with the delays and everything that happened in sinnoh's endgame lol

[last egret]

Hi @coarse estuary wanna be friends

[autumn otter]

new to competitive, is this team decent for a first real attempt at teambuilding? i feel like i have good speed control with glare and tailwind along with sufficient power throughout

more speed control also with sun + chlorophyll

[unkempt egret]

is this for doubles or for singles?

[autumn otter]

singles

[unkempt egret]

looks fine enough but I'm not the best to ask about comp

[autumn otter]

i really wanted to build around raging bolt and a drought mon

torkoal fits the bill for drought along with having body press so i can just invest into bulk with some offensive upside

[unkempt egret]

I've seen specs glare before but it looks so strange to me lol

[autumn otter]

originally i was gonna fun scarf but with tailwind and an already pretty good speed stat i think its fine

specs makes leaf storm and d pulse an immediate threat even without contrary boosts

if im able to hard predict a switch i can very safely click glare]

[sweet crypt]

Tera Water Serperior on Sun is

Something

[autumn otter]

defensive typing mainly

just to give it some extra bulk

[sweet crypt]

I'd probably still go for another tera type

[autumn otter]

could probably go tera ground tbh

[sweet crypt]

Especially if I'm running Tera Blast

[autumn otter]

true true

[sweet crypt]

Oh you're Specs

I probably wouldn't run Specs Serp but you do you

[autumn otter]

contrary boosted leaf storm isnt a huge threat on a switch in, makes it scarier when it hits the field

i think its fast enough especially with tailwind active

this is my first real attempt at making a team like this so im not too worried if there are some holes in it as long as theres some semblance of synergy

[sweet crypt]

Why is H-Lilligant AV instead of SD?

No Walking Wake is very weird also

[autumn otter]

sd?

[sweet crypt]

Swords Dance

[autumn otter]

oh shit yeah

absolutely

[sweet crypt]

If you weren't Chlorophyll in Sun you'd use Victory Dance

Usually H-Lilligant also runs Close Combat and Solar Blade

I can see not wanting to be too dependent on Sun, but why Brick Break over CC?

H-Lilligant is very frail either ways

[autumn otter]

the stat drops from cc kinda turned me off

[autumn otter]

yeah thats fair

even without cc drops its frail

[sweet crypt]

And the difference between 120 and 75 is absurd

[autumn otter]

yeah like

a whole 45

what would be a decent item for it over av

[sweet crypt]

Usually people run Taxel over Ice Spinner but I can see why you wouldn't

[sweet crypt]

Standard is Life Orb

[autumn otter]

gotcha

[sweet crypt]

Raging Bolt set is a bit weird too tbh

[autumn otter]

tweaks made

bc i gtg to work in a sec

[sweet crypt]

I get that you're using Tailwind but Raging Bolt without Thunderclap still feels so off

[autumn otter]

thunderbolt higher base damage and also 100 accuracy

[sweet crypt]

Thunderclap is priority though

[autumn otter]

true

[sweet crypt]

And nothing is stopping you from running both

Sure, it can be outplayed

But this is 70 BP priority

The standard is 40

[autumn otter]

gotcha

alright i gtg to work, ill make some extra changes later

thanks for the tips dude, i really appreciate it

[sweet crypt]

Serperior on Sun in general is a bit weird, as is Walking Wakeless Sun

You already have a fast offensive Grass type so I think you can replace Serperior with Walking Wake

[coarse estuary]

today i learned its wrong if i find looking at a pokemon learnset for non modern gens easier to do on pokemon db vs serebii

[unkempt egret]

I mostly use pokemon db for sprites but I can see using it for learnsets too

[coarse estuary]

i use it to find old gen learnsets when chosing moves or picking team members but never in my life would i think i would be called wrong for prefering db over serebii for looking at old gen learnsets because they knew how to do it and i didnt

[unkempt egret]

using db makes sense since looking for older movesets on bulbapedia (or serebii) can get annoying at times

[coarse estuary]

yeah like i just go to the mon on db then click the moves learned tab then click the gen im playing then click the game from that gen and boom

[unkempt egret]

nice nice

I'm mostly just farming the blastoise event while it's still going

shame I can't use zapdos when I'm doing auto-battle since the ai is a dum-dum and is like "peck's good enough right"

that being said you don't have the turbo-busted stuff the fight does get a lot easiler when you realize that joltik's move (50) + galvantula's move (90) is just enough to KO articuno EX (the deck has no means of healing ROFL)

the ai 100% can still delete you if it realizes that and either gets lucky with misty or invests in blastoise energy

...also I didn't realize this deck had one lone sabrina until I checked it rofl

[coarse estuary]

lol the server where i was called wrong for prefering one site over another just banned be becuase i said it wouldnt be the first time id been timed out because someone else was rude to me

[broken crater]

I hate playing decks

I always make them myself

I dont like preconstructed cuz it feels less personnal

[unkempt egret]

ah yea that was about the deck the AI uses for those events yea I usually make my own as well

[zenith imp]

Which pokemon should I shiny hunt in Scarlet? I have both docs, so as long as it's available in the game then I can try it

[vague moon]

What's y'all's favorite Johto rom?

[vital flare]

Storm silver

Love drays in general

[long monolith]

can someone help me with my bdsp team, i trained some of them in a different game and now have level 2 movesets at level 25
its just my rotom and drifloon, they both need their stab back, and if you change rotoms form, change it back to fire so i can use it
because i need a fire time

UNPOPULAR OPINION
Giovanni is the best villain in Pokémon

[boreal storm]

Is it just me or gen 5 and 6 needs more mega

[coarse estuary]

its not just you. between gens 5-6 only 1 pokemon from those gens has a mega

[boreal storm]

Yeah like why the hell does gen 6 the game that introduced mega evolution only have 1 mega like wtf gamefreak

[coarse estuary]

actually gen 6 pokemon have 0 megas

[boreal storm]

Diancie

[coarse estuary]

oh yeah i always forget that mon has a mega

though tbh i always rememebr audino is the only gen 5 pokemon with a mega

[boreal storm]

Because it is

[coarse estuary]

ik

[boreal storm]

I swear every gen has a gen1 bias

Like why does pikachu has 2 z move in gen 7

[coarse estuary]

and the fact all the regional forms in gen 7 are all gen 1 mons

[boreal storm]

Yes, I love them but come on why it's just gen 1 mon

Can't we just got a game that doesn't have gen 1 bias

[coarse estuary]

imo the only game we have gotten so far without gen 1 bias was legends arceus

[boreal storm]

Yeah, the only gen 1 bias in pla I can think of is that your rival have a pikachu

[unkempt egret]

which isn't so much gen 1 bias as "obligatory series mascot" moment

but yea gen 6 I feel is where it started, probably as an overcorrection to the reactions from BW's maingame if I'm willing to guess (fool's errand, don't assume things about this franchise lol)

but gens 7 and 8 is where it got really out of hand yea

[coarse estuary]

yeah i can see how the backlash to gen 5 from the genwunners caused them to gen 1 pander in 6

[unkempt egret]

with gen 9 somewhat dialing it back

[brisk hedge]

And even then, Arcanine and Electrode got Hisuian forms and Syther got a new evolution

[boreal storm]

I hope they make more of pokemon that was straight up from their imagination like gardevoir line, just a princess with a magical power

[boreal storm]

Oh yeah I forgot about that

[unkempt egret]

I mean hisui also gave a lot of other gens rep like lilligant, zoroark, and avalugg

(as did paldea which gives gen 2 more rep than other gens I feel)

[brisk hedge]

Oh yeah, Hisui is WAY better than Alola and Galar in terms of Gen 1 pandering. However, I still think that Gen 1 needs to have at least one generation where it receives no special attention, considering that it got an entire generation to itself and also got quite a bit in both Kalos and Galar

[rugged comet]

The gen 1 pandering in galar was cringe

The "Charizard pose" thing makes me cringe

[brisk hedge]

Though at least Galar gave SOMETHING to the other generations

Except for 4, which is ridiculous considering that Gen 8 is when Gen 4 got remade

[unkempt egret]

probably because of the remake is why it got nothing

[boreal storm]

Remember the mewtwo strikes back remake movie that's just the same thing but 3d

What if they make another mewtwo strikes back movie, but with a different story

Ok here's my idea for the story

So, the movie start with some Jessie mom with other team rocket grunt exploring a forest in far away island and they see a relic that has mew sculpture in it, and then they found something unusual, they found a mew fossil, but it's not only one, but it's two of them. They the go back to the lab and do a research with prof. Yuji, plant to revive both of the mew fossil and they also fuse the mew DNA with human DNA for some reason, they also plan to make a artificial mega stone for the mew to make them stronger, the project was made the same time as prof.Fuji try to clone his daughter and the starter.

[clear dew]

i love randomizers lol

[boreal storm]

It's all seems to be going well. Until, suddenly an explosion happened in the lab and turns out, it was team plasma and Ghetsis, came to stole the mew clones, Giovanni that was also in there and other rocket grunt try to defend the lab, the battle last almost an hour and team plasma manage to steal one of the mew clone and they also steal the formula for the artificial mega stone. The lab receives huge damage, the damage resulting the failure to clone the prof.Fuji daughter and the starter, but somehow the remaining mew clone stills alive, they continued this experiment for few years, and finally, the mew clone finally finished, the clone was name Mewtwo, but Mewtwo doesn't obey them, Mewtwo was mad due to the years of pain while they experimenting him,he launched an attack on the lab almost destroying it, but before he completely destroying it an armor was suddenly equipped to him and he felt needles stabbing him and send a powerful electrical jolt inside his body, he then fell to the ground and he sees Giovanni in front of him, the armor was made to control and holding back Mewtwo power, every time he doesn't do what Giovanni wants, he will get electrocuted.

i think ive got it figured out

https://pokepast.es/37b2eaa6c2ccbe0d

the flower crown surprisingly works well here

had no idea comfey of all things made it up to ou especially with how much i clown on its existence

[weary elk]

Pokemon will always be a great series.

[coarse estuary]

[clear dew]

lmao

[last egret]

Do people like Ghetsis?

[unkempt egret]

as a villain generally yea

[rugged comet]

As a villain he's excellent, as a human he's awful

[last egret]

Is he better than Cyrus?

https://tenor.com/view/cyrus-team-galactic-sinnoh-pokemon-gif-7388694

[brisk hedge]

Morally, or as a villain?

[sweet crypt]

IMO, yes

(As a villain and character)

[sweet crypt]

(Because morally it's a lot more complicated)

I mean, one wants to remake the universe in his own image which would make you assume it should be an easy answer

But Ghetsis is such a piece of shit, man

Anyways, predictions for new Megas in ZA?

Preferably realistic predictions and not "I want this" predictions

I think that the Gen 6 Starters are likely getting Megas here

[rugged comet]

more charizard or mewtwo ones

[sweet crypt]

If not here, then never

[sick anchor]

flygon

[sweet crypt]

In general I feel like Gamefreak probably will be making more Megas for the gens they neglected, though maybe that's wishful thinking

[rugged comet]

mega charizard Z incoming

[sweet crypt]

I dont think any Gen 7, 8 or 9 Pokemon will get Megas

PL:A only had Pokemon past Gen 4 if they got something new

Like a regional form, or an evolution

[rugged comet]

but more serious, maybe the xy box legends could get megas

[sweet crypt]

I mean I guess if an evolution of something got a Mega, that'd technically be a Gen 9 Mega

[rugged comet]

legends arceus had dialga and palkia get new forms

[sweet crypt]

That would give me nightmares

Mainly because of Xerneas

See, Yveltal is the good guy

Xerneas is the evil destroyer of worlds here in Competitive

While Yveltal is generally just a very helpful Pokemon

You think Goodra would get a Mega?

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-evil-how-about-no-austin-powers-gif-17640212

[umbral egret]

i wouldn't be surprsied if it did, but i don't think so

[sweet crypt]

I mean, it is a bit weird that 4 Pseudo Legendaries have a Mega and none of them are Goodra

[umbral egret]

i think this time, flygon is finally going to get hte mega that they want to give it

[sweet crypt]

So I think that it probably would get a Mega

[rugged comet]

[sweet crypt]

Once again, I feel like for a lot of these Gen 6 Pokemon, it's now or never

Unless it's some Gen 6 mon nobody thinks about

Like uhhh

[rugged comet]

if the do give the gen 6 starters megas would it include greninja, since it has it's own form

[sweet crypt]

Idk, Gourgeist

[umbral egret]

i would laugh it they did the kalos thing again where they give the new starters megas, but not the gen 6 ones

[sweet crypt]

I've heard barely anyone talk about Gourgeist

[rugged comet]

I talk about it a fair amount, but a trade evo getting a mega would suck

[sweet crypt]

I think it's possible that the regional evos would get a Mega

But I don't think it'll happen

[mighty robin]

If they do random starters from different generations, they better make it easier for me to pick which one to use

[sweet crypt]

I think it's like a 35/65

[mighty robin]

because haha funny, PLA starters were the exact starters I chose for those games

[umbral egret]

the pokemon i want them to give a mega is yanmega

it would be funny

[sweet crypt]

True

Not to mention Dragonite

[rugged comet]

chikorita starter as well just to get mega meganium

[umbral egret]

yee, that just means the starter lineup should be Chikorita, Fire starter, Water starter

[sweet crypt]

There is 0 way they don't do regional forms for the starters is what I'm thinking

[rugged comet]

maybe heliolisk

[umbral egret]

and they make it another grass/dragon type

[rugged comet]

https://tenor.com/view/heliolisk-pokemon-electric-normal-lizard-gif-26451438

[sweet crypt]

Heliolisk would be cool actually

[umbral egret]

Mega-helioisk would go so ahrd

[brisk hedge]

I think both Slowking and Frosslass are good candidates since their alternate evolutions got megas

[mighty robin]

when you give a Meganium a mega stone, it’ll mega evolve into Giganium

[sweet crypt]

Maybe they could turn it into a Fire/Electric type with Drought or something

[mighty robin]

because data size, giga is the next after mega

[sick anchor]

thats what i said

[rugged comet]

I hope for a dragon type eeveelution tbh

[sweet crypt]

Flygon is actually a non bias pick now that I think about it

[rugged comet]

since xy is what added sylveon the fairy type

[sweet crypt]

Since yeah they did plan on giving it one

[umbral egret]

people gotta stop making eevee fakemons first so they can actually use one

[sweet crypt]

Anyways, how about the megas you want the most?

Try to only pick mons from Gen 6 and earlier

[umbral egret]

Falinks

[sweet crypt]

Because yknow

[mighty robin]

Hmm wait a minute

[sweet crypt]

I get that this is the idealistic question but

There's no point making a wish that is quite literally impossible given what we know

[rugged comet]

honestly xy box legends mega's could be cool

[umbral egret]

but for real though, maybe purugly, watchog, or roserade

[mighty robin]

from what I’ve seen, something something legends game in kalos or whatever

[sweet crypt]

Mega Volcarona and it's just Mega Zard Y with slightly better stats, a different type and Quiver Dance

(Real)

[mighty robin]

and it’ll be set in the past

[unkempt egret]

mega rotom would be funny but I doubt it considering it already has forms

[mighty robin]

what if we do get a dragon eeveelution in that game

[rugged comet]

yup we're going to war, maybe, since kalos was at war in the past

[mighty robin]

and the reason why it doesn’t exist in the present games

[unkempt egret]

outside of that, mega slowking and mega froslass, patch up those cross-evo incompatibilities that ORAS left behind.

[umbral egret]

the fleur cannon is the reason why dragon eevee is extinct 😮‍💨

[mighty robin]

is because sylveon showed up and somehow stopped them

[umbral egret]

the ribbons on sylveon are actually dragon whiskers

that got converted to fairy fluff

[rugged comet]

well, depending on when exactly it will be

[mighty robin]

Maybe the dragon eeveelutions were like too hostile or something, so then they had to make a fairy eeveelution to get rid of the out of control dragon eeveelutions, and then the evolution method has been lost to time

which then explains why there’s no dragon eeveelutions in the present

[sweet crypt]

People do think it'll be at most a few hundred years ago, similarly to PL:A

[mighty robin]

Isn’t ZA supposed to be around lumiose city development or something?

[sweet crypt]

That said, it'd be very funny if it was indeed during the great war

[sweet crypt]

Yes

[mighty robin]

so it might not be that war

[sweet crypt]

It probably won't be

[mighty robin]

unless the war was going on during the development

[sweet crypt]

But it'd be very funny if there was that war, or one similar to it, during that time

The actual real life counterpart to Lumiose City being developed is a lot less than 3000 years ago but you never know

Pokemon isn't exactly the most realistic game out there

[mighty robin]

the possibility of a unova legends game would be pretty cool and make the fans happy

[sweet crypt]

cough cough Tauros has Boltbeam Coverage

[mighty robin]

but we all know that they wouldn’t have legends unova involve the original dragon

[sweet crypt]

Legends Unova and Alola would be so hype if they did the obvious thing though

They'd make so much money off of those

Drowning in cash

[sweet crypt]

And we all know Nintendo likes money

[rugged comet]

Like for example of Legends Unova, we could be one of the twin heros

[mighty robin]

nah, they wouldn’t do that for a legends game

[rugged comet]

or maybe the time of their descendants

[umbral egret]

Scrambled Scarlet team so far, Bosses (6/18) beaten

[sweet crypt]

Am I stupid or does Gos Harag look nothing like the Mankey line

[unkempt egret]

assuming the bottom are their tera types?

[umbral egret]

yes

[umbral egret]

it was the first thing that came to mind when i caught mankey

Gosharag definitely helped solo some bosses since defiant mach punch

time to tackle Boss 7

[last egret]

The actual most evil person is pokemon is that girl in gen 4 who trades you a Haunter holding an Everstone

@sweet crypt

Not even Ghetsis would do something that bad

[brisk hedge]

No, the actual most evil person in Pokémon is the one who decided that trade evolutions should be a thing in the first place

[unkempt egret]

or rather, the translators who left it in for profits rather than cut it for only making sense in japan's population-dense culture

[last egret]

Old Pokémon games were unhinged. Literal slot machines and a dude peeping into a gym saying that he’s looking at all the pretty women

And that was just one city

[vague moon]

Nah most evil person is the one who made ghost physical, and why it doesn't work in gen 1

[last egret]

Psychic’s other weakness, bug had trash Pokémon with no good bug type moves

The best bug move Beedrill had was twin needle

[vague moon]

Ah yes shadow ball Gengar, completely useless

[brisk hedge]

That’s no longer an issue though

[last egret]

Shadow ball isn’t a bug type move

[sick anchor]

should i play sun and moon or super mystery dungeon?

[last egret]

Pokémon Moon

[vague moon]

Smd

Not a bad game, doing a run of it right now

[last egret]

I just remembered this is a Pokémon chat

Don’t get Super Mystery Dungeon play Rescue Team DX

it’s way better

@sick anchor

[sweet crypt]

But it was a physical move on a fucking Gengar

Ain't nobody gonna use a physical Gengar

[sick anchor]

i mean i already have super mystery dungeon i just dont remember playing it

[sweet crypt]

Bug is pretty worthless offensively though yeah

A not terrible defensive profile though

But not enough for it to not just be the worst type with only 1 type you could argue being as bad imo

[last egret]

In Gen 1 psychic type was slightly broken

[sweet crypt]

Gen 1 Psychic is so broken that it makes current gen Psychic look even more terrible than it already does

It's almost funny

Almost

[last egret]

Psychic and Dragon type fell off

[sweet crypt]

One part of the type chart was literally glitched in Gen 1 Psychic's favour

Not that your fucking Lick Gengar was doing jack shit either ways

But still

[sick anchor]

volcarona

[last egret]

In Gen 1 we were talking about

[sweet crypt]

Volcarona does not use Bug moves often

So I don't see how Volcarona disproves my point

[last egret]

Quiver Dance and Bug Buzz goes brrrr

[sweet crypt]

Yeah but why use Bug Buzz when you could use moves that actually hit important things for SE

[sick anchor]

ohh

[sweet crypt]

Bug hits like what

Grass?

Psychic?

[last egret]

X-Scissor on Scyther is great

[sweet crypt]

Dark too I guess?

Dark actually is a good target

So I'll give it that

[last egret]

Grass, Psychic and Dark.

All solid types

[sick anchor]

buff bug type pokemon fr

[sweet crypt]

But the only times you're really worried about a defensive grass are if they're a Grass/Steel or Grass/Poison

Would you look at that

[last egret]

You know what type needs a buff. Ice

[sweet crypt]

Both are neutral to Bug

[sweet crypt]

And both are weak to Fire

[last egret]

Ice needs a serious buff

[sweet crypt]

I think what Ice needs more than anything else

Is for Gamefreak to stop making them slow defensive Pokemon

Because Ice fucking slaps offensively

Stuff like Weavile is how an Ice type would ideally be

[last egret]

There’s only a few viable ice type mons.

Glalie, Abomisnow, I guess Baxcalibur

I can’t think of anyone else

[sweet crypt]

Bro really just mentioned Glalie and Abomasnow

Instead of Weavile, Chien Pao, Iron Bundle, Kyurem etc

Ig Kyurem does have like a shitload of BST

So excluding that makes sense

[last egret]

Glalie disrespect is not tolerated

[sweet crypt]

If Glalie is ever good, it's not because of its type

[last egret]

There’s no reason to use Frosslass when Glalie exists

[sweet crypt]

It's because Moody is batshit insane

Otherwise, you're never using Glalie

Unless Mega I guess

[last egret]

Moody is arguably the best ability

[sweet crypt]

Wonder Guard:

[last egret]

True but Moody is up there

[sweet crypt]

But yeah, Glalie is not really a good example of a "Good ice type" imo

Since its merits do not come from the ice type

It comes from Moody

Without Moody, it simply is just a bad Pokemon

[last egret]

But it’s a viable ice type technically

[sweet crypt]

I mean, Moody is banned in OU and ain't nobody is using Moody Glalie in Ubers

But yeah in a roundabout way

It is kinda banned from OU?

[last egret]

I didn’t say it’s an elite Pokémon just merely viable

[sweet crypt]

Except only Moody is

And Glalie itself is complete ass

Actually ngl

Mentioning Abomasnow

Instead of like

Alolan Ninetales

Is just absolutely crazy

If you're mentioning a Snow Warning+Aurora Veil Pokemon at least mention the best one

Anyways back to Volcarona's Bug type

Volcarona's Bug type serves one purpose

And it's to change its defensive matchups

It's now quad weak to Rock but tbh Volcarona faints to any Physical Rock move either ways, and is already gonna want to use HDB

Weak to Flying which is sad

Neutral to Fire which is also sad

But it also now is neutral to Ground

And resists Fighting

Which is pretty neat

It's pretty much just a slightly different Fire type defensively but hey, Fire always has had a weirdly high number of resistances

And actually good ones too

Honestly if they were to buff the Bug type I think they should lean in on its defensive qualities

Since nothing short of a fucking overhaul would save it offensively

7 fucking resistances
"Holy shit"

All to good types, too

[last egret]

Glalie is underrated. Ain’t nobody using Frosslass competitively

Great design, horrible Pokémon

[sweet crypt]

Nobody is using Glalie either if Moody is banned in OU

And tbf, Froslass has like

Some reps in PU or NU or ZU or something

But yeah the Snorunt line is just underwhelming in stats

80 in every stat 💀

Froslass just needed more damage output and it could've been good

But nope!

80/80 offences upon ye

[sweet crypt]

Also, I'd like to argue that Dragon didn't fall off that terribly

Sure, it's not the undisputed best type in the game, and probably not even S tier

But imo it's at least an A tier type

Certainly not a terrible fall compared to Psychic being hot garbage

Dragon is still decent as a STAB type (not so much for coverage)

And it does have good defensive properties

Sure, it's weak to the best type in the game and a top 5, and I'd argue top 3 offensive type

But those sets of resistances are very good

Fire, Water and Electric are good types to resist

Grass isn't bad either if you're in Gen 9 and are facing off against Ogerpon

[coarse estuary]

lavender tower rival fight took the life of my beedrill

[brisk hedge]

At least you don’t have to go far to bury him

[sick anchor]

What starter do I choose?

[coarse estuary]

litten is the best in base sun moon

[empty wraith]

dynamax adventure difficulty tierlist!! anything with AoE, kyurem, everything else
my rng has been so ass lately, kyogre pulling surf and then origin pulse. idk how i did the first 6 or so without issues

[sick anchor]

dynamax adventure?

[coarse estuary]

first gym with a death. lost nidoking due to a missclick

[sick anchor]

missclick?

[coarse estuary]

yes missclick.

do you not know what a missclick is?

[sick anchor]

i do

ive just never missclicked in a pokemon game

[coarse estuary]

then i dont understand how you are saying missclick as a question. can you not fathom someone might click the wrong move or something

[empty wraith]

lowkey forgot about that

damn pokemon sword and shield released 6 years ago

i thought it was more recent

What do I name him?

[vital flare]

I dont know why i suggested finnish fire names 😂

[sick anchor]

actually i have an idea

https://tenor.com/view/rath-angry-furious-ben10-gif-22506964

[hard plume]

Hell yeah

welcome to the club

[sick anchor]

i hate this dude but i dont know why

[pine ingot]

Why do you hate Hau?

[unkempt egret]

Alolan Hop and Galarian Hau

also I was gonna say "misbutton" for the error but now that I think about it you can 100% misclick during gens 4-7 lol

[pine ingot]

That’s not right

[unkempt egret]

(misbustton is gens 1-3 and 8-9)

unless 8-9 have touch inputs on battle menus I missed

[pine ingot]

Hop is galarian and hau is from alola

[unkempt egret]

yea the bit is that they're basically the same character on the surface

(hop does have some stuff about living up to the expectations that leon's set though)

[pine ingot]

But most rivals piss me off because they always want to battle

[unkempt egret]

I don't dislike either but also not liking them either? it's a neutral feel

[pine ingot]

The only rival I liked was Marnie for obvious reasons

[unkempt egret]

I do give hau doints at least for actually using a leafeon in his eeveelution trio rather than gen 6 rival putting a jolteon there

[coarse estuary]

i think the bw1 rivals and hugh were the best rivals

[pine ingot]

W star tournament bestie

I hate nemona she’s really annoying

[unkempt egret]

I would say for me it's probably gen 3 rival for flowing the best gameplay wise but they kinda just... stop after the route 119 fight lol

since what feels like would be their last fight's taken up by wally instead (who's ORAS incarnation doesn't get points for popping a mega evolution on you before the champion fight even if it's hard-walled by sableye/spiritomb)

[tight granite]

[tight granite]

cause shes not a rival?

whats the obvious reason

unless its a not for this server reason lul

[unkempt egret]

kinda like a gameplay-wise vs. story/lore wise thing

[pine ingot]

She’s it the same type of rival like hop and bede but is one of the rivals just less aggressive in always wanting to battle so less known

[unkempt egret]

kinda like how geeta and alder are both champions but not a final bosses while ghetsis is the reverse

[pine ingot]

Geeta is a trash champion

[tight granite]

comparing her to hop and bede is wild

like in what way

that they all have pokemon

[coarse estuary]

calling marnie a rival is like saying silver from gen 2 is an evil team admin like is so not true its funny

[unkempt egret]

actually mustard too now that I think about it (ok former, thanks bulb rofl)

[pine ingot]

Shit you got a point there

[tight granite]

imma be honest i dont even understand this sentence

what are ya saying

[unkempt egret]

basically "champion" is usually the same as final boss of a given game but not always the case

[tight granite]

like i get what ya mean..i just dont get what point your making

[unkempt egret]

actually let me rewind myself a bit ROFL I did kinda lose track of the point

I think what I was getting at in terms of someone being a rival gameplay wise but not story-wise

[tight granite]

i dont remember a game where the champion was the final boss tbh...i guess kinda but i always consider the story villain to be the final boss

[unkempt egret]

which is a bit more... liquid of a term?

for me i'd be... kanto (blue), johto (lance), hoenn (steven/wallace), sinnoh (cynthia), B2/W2 unova (Iris), kalos (diantha), and galar (leon)

the exceptions are BW unova (ghetsis), Alola (no official champion as of the fight), and paldea (long story rofl)

[pine ingot]

To be fair Marnie actually never was a rival I mean she doesn’t go out of her way to make your life a living hell.Hop is your very annoying childhood friend that’s always in his feels like drizzile

[unkempt egret]

yea she only fights you... twice I think?

[tight granite]

that was my point yes

[unkempt egret]

I love how my instinct was to look up if eusine fights you more than once rofl (he does not)

also according to bulb marnie does count but uuuh

[tight granite]

rival doesnt have to be a rude shit (infact the worst type of rival) just someone who competes with you, Marnie doesnt

[unkempt egret]

this same list also includes arven who fights you even less rofl

[tight granite]

Arven is your Rival tho

[pine ingot]

Bede is a questionable snobby SOAB for no reason only to whine like a little baby when you beat the crap out of him

[tight granite]

its not gameplay its what they consider themselves

[unkempt egret]

he fights with you more than against you

actually now I'm curious

[pine ingot]

Yeah

[unkempt egret]

who fights you more: Gen 1 rival or N

[tight granite]

Bede doesnt whine, he always says you cheat and he would have won

i guess thats whining

but in an annoying way

thats not satisfying

[coarse estuary]

all whining is annoying

[unkempt egret]

blue, N only fights you 5 times rofl

[pine ingot]

Yeah I mean bede just doesn’t have skill like it’s not my fault you’re trash bro just get good

[tight granite]

N also isnt a Rival

[unkempt egret]

then again BW is also juggling two other rivals that both fight you frequently

this list has em but let's just call him "reoccuring fight" then?

[tight granite]

hes not really competing with you for anything

which is kinda what ya need for the term

[coarse estuary]

id consider n the evil team admin of gen 5

[unkempt egret]

I mean I define it as "someone who fights you frequently throughout the game"

which I'd at least give a pass to "evil team admin" on N

[tight granite]

thats not a rival?

[unkempt egret]

as I said it is for me

[tight granite]

rival is a real world

word

[unkempt egret]

I mean it is, but in the context of pokemon I can give it whatever meaning I want as long as I accept that nobody else'll care

[tight granite]

guess i care lul but also eh

not fully

[unkempt egret]

either way, loose definition crap like this is why I don't like interacting with pokemon fans (at least in recent years) so I'm probably just gonna stop

[tight granite]

its not a loose definition tho

[coarse estuary]

then interact with the pokemon fan base

[pine ingot]

I just don’t like interacting with idiots which is so tough because they’re everywhere…

[hard plume]

[pine ingot]

🤷🏾‍♂️ just wasn’t funny was all

The deeper into the Pokémon community you go the worse they get

[hard plume]

looks like someone has a bad taste in comedy

[pine ingot]

Honestly if there’s a game I play I don’t even interact with others because I know I’m just going to ruin my day

[coarse estuary]

yeah im an extremely funny man

[pine ingot]

I mean I guess so sure

[coarse estuary]

also sorry if it seems rude or what not just the vibe im gettinf from the dont even interact comment is that you get mad at people if their opinion on part of a game is different from yours

[pine ingot]

It’s a little different I’ll accept others opinions however I don’t like people who are either rude or up in your face about it some people just aren’t good at communicating without aggression

[coarse estuary]

yeah thats fair. i have a hard time usually expressing my like for gen 5 being my favorite because 7/10 times i get attacked for it

[pine ingot]

Half the gens I never even played I was born late

[finite ingot]

I played gen 3 and 5 and that’s it

just never got into it

[coarse estuary]

you should there are some gens out there that people dont ever try because the popular opinion is they are bad

[coarse estuary]

ah yes you couldnt get into the real pokemon games but you could get into the fan games? imo thats just as bad as someone playing a fan game as their first exposure to a franchise

[finite ingot]

I don’t really play IF either

I just like the community and occasionally making sprites

[pine ingot]

I played omega ruby and that was as much exposure as I got with that region

[coarse estuary]

ah so your one of em i dont like the games but the fan community is cool so ill stay which is based

[pine ingot]

I really only get to play the remakes 🤷🏾‍♂️

[coarse estuary]

thats why emulators exist

[pine ingot]

You’re never going to believe this but I’m too stupid to even get them to work

[finite ingot]

70% of spriters

[coarse estuary]

||that makes frogs message on the you dont even play the games thing even more true but i wont get into that again lol||

[pine ingot]

So which animal based Pokémon are we missing??

Apparently these 🤷🏾‍♂️

Except we do have a dolphin Pokemon

[coarse estuary]

dolphin as if finassin and paloophin dont exist

[pine ingot]

It hasn’t been updated yet

Or recently

As for the Japanese spider crab is that not G-Max kingler?

[sick anchor]

look at his face

[pine ingot]

His teeth aren’t separated?

Isn’t that all Pokemon characters and games?

[sick anchor]

i havent progressed much in the game but i just hate the way he looks and his personality

[pine ingot]

Damn

He’s aight in my opinion

[sick anchor]

he doesnt even know me and wants to battle me

[coarse estuary]

silver doesnt know you and fights you as soon as he sees you lol

[sick anchor]

oh that red haired dude

[pine ingot]

Yeah and if you try to stop his thieving ass he throws you on the ground away from him

And continues looking in the window like a freak

[coarse estuary]

like he sees you pick yours then purposely steals the one strong to yours so if you run into him he can beat you

Oh yeah, those things are cool

Wouldn’t trust Nintendo with design designing a bipedal goblin shark Pokémon though

no more serp replaced with growth draining kiss comfey

[rugged comet]

thats a shiny?

that is absurd

[unkempt egret]

I feel like the devs basically didn't want to make shinies for some of these mons since they wanted the base palette but had to because it was a built-in mechanic lol

(either that or just trolling shiny hunters, knowing GF it could be either)

[sweet crypt]

Apparently some people just forget Golduck exist

I know I keep saying I remember every Pokemon so it may seem weird that I'm pointing out Golduck in particular but I mean, it's an evolution to a bit of an iconic Pokemon, so you'd expect people to remember it exists more

Tbf it's probably a minority but like

Considering it not only being a gen 1 but an evolution to an iconic gen 1 mon it just feels weird

It's like if someone forget Raichu existed on a lesser scale

At least, I think Psyduck is iconic, something something anime

But I don't watch the Pokemon anime

So idk maybe I'm just dumb

[sleek jewel]

Nah he just stupid

[sleek jewel]

Also I mean he's the same as raichu get overshadowed by there first

Cool :)/

[brazen anchor]

Are there any fangames that play like infinite fusion

[sick anchor]

elaborate

[brazen anchor]

Pretty much just games that Infinite fusion fans also like

[viral matrix]

I also play pokemon elite redux

[daring gorge]

is there like a fan game or a rom hack that can be played by 2 ppl online ?

[sick anchor]

pokemon xenoverse was good

anyone got pokemon game recommendations for me?

[lyric radish]

im playing pokerogue is there any move lopunny can learn to deal with ghost types they are my biggest weakness rn

[unkempt egret]

I know if you mega evolve you can grab scrappy but that relies on two seperate rare drops (first the mega bracelet then the mega lopunnite)

[lyric radish]

ik how the game works

but would that still help against ghosts

my only move to hit ghosts

is bounce

[sick anchor]

is pokerogue fun?

[lyric radish]

yes

but more addicting then drugs so be carefull xd

[sick anchor]

so how does this work?

[lyric radish]

pick up to 10 points worth of pokemons

YO

[unkempt egret]

yea the number at the top is basically the pokemon's weight

[lyric radish]

you use arrows and x (back) and z (confirm)

[unkempt egret]

you can go under 10 if you want but doing so isn't super suggested. I think the only odd one there to point out is Pichu being a 4-cost because you get extra rewards for the first time you finish a run with pikachu/raichu (this also applies to all mons that have a baby form except for riolu and toxel I believe)

[lyric radish]

you do?

what rewards tho

[sick anchor]

W team?

[unkempt egret]

basically you get a mon's medal for finishing normal mode with them. if there's a baby form you get two of them, one for the baby and one for the evolved form.

that looks like a decent start

[lyric radish]

ye

[unkempt egret]

like if you finish with hitmonlee you'll get one for tyrogue and one for hitmonlee even if you didn't start with tyrogue

but doing it again with hitmontop will only get you top's medal

[lyric radish]

ahh

so 2 medals instead

[unkempt egret]

sadly, eevee is not an exception to that. all 8 evos share one medal unless that got changed since... august or september

[lyric radish]

thats not a "reward"

[sick anchor]

oh i got drain punch

[lyric radish]

on who?

[sick anchor]

grookey since nobody else learns it

[lyric radish]

i dident even know grookey learned it -_-

[sick anchor]

should i prioritize money or pokeballs

[lyric radish]

a few balls then money

money is very important but you need to get a full team just to make your life easier

[unkempt egret]

yea pokeballs can also work to try to "delete" something that's giving your team an issue through catching it, but it might not always work

[lyric radish]

rate my team

[unkempt egret]

looks good so far

[sick anchor]

looks good

[unkempt egret]

lotsa pickup but that's a great ability in rogue

[lyric radish]

thats why they are there XD

[sick anchor]

what ability does persian have?

[lyric radish]

pickup...

electrode is pokerus and very good with eggmoves and loppunny is well to start very good with passive and hot af

[unkempt egret]

lopunny is also a blue shiny which helps rewards

[lyric radish]

ye

[lyric radish]

do you know any good endless carries nowadays after kyo got nerfed ive struggled 😦

[unkempt egret]

I forget what my endless was but I know it's something with seismic toss and a multi-hit move

since ||once you get past wave 2000 the resistance tokens stack up so much that fixed damage is basically the only way to get past it||

but I also dunno how much has changed since that was from june

[daring gorge]

any recommendations ?

[lyric radish]

is there any mon with a ability to steal item opon physical hit then so i can spam multi hit multi lense and just rob everyone?

[lyric radish]

i mean if you are physicaly with them or talking with them you could do soullock pokerogue

[daring gorge]

explain further ?

[lyric radish]

you basicly do the same but have difrent items and pokemons and when one pokemon dies the other has to relese the "same" pokemon so if you start with charmender squirtle and bulbasaur and they start with grookey chimchar and piplup you can name charmender and grookey the same and so on with the other mons when one dies the one with same name has to be relesed and same with catching and when catching you can only catch together meaning that if you are on floor 20 and want whoever is infront of you the other player has to catch the mon on floor 20 too and name them the same to then try and beat the game

[sick anchor]

whats a rogue ball?

[lyric radish]

best pokeball behind masterball

5x a normal pokeball

[gusty umbra]

i have a question

[lyric radish]

ok?

[sick anchor]

taking it then

[gusty umbra]

in the original gen 1 games

[lyric radish]

i would

[gusty umbra]

your rival beats the e4 and becomes champion

yet we dont know who the champion was prior to them

[lyric radish]

it was lance

[gusty umbra]

but then who was the 4th e4 member

[lyric radish]

that i dont know

[gusty umbra]

since he's only 4th cause he got demoted

[lyric radish]

ye

was it whoever is nr3 now but who got removed then?! and why is your rival not last elite member???!!!

[gusty umbra]

the only theory i've heard is either giovanni was a past e4 member or lance was champ, lost to blue and kicked out a random e4 trainer

considering his pride he probably would

[lyric radish]

ye

[gusty umbra]

and your rival can just do what he wants?

he lost immediately after being champ

and got allowed gym status?

to be a gym leader a requirement is a single main type

he has a diverse team

just give chuck his gym back

[lyric radish]

XD

[gusty umbra]

or the dojo guys name

[lyric radish]

ye give the dojo guy a .... but we got a fighting e4 member
