other-pokemon-games

[lyric basin]

also this single frame of Rowlet

there's a drawing of an angry forward facing magikarp. 0/10, would scroll through these game files again

[eager cypress]

Anyone remember that Pokemon Home promotion event during the SWSH era where you could get a free shiny Zeroaura? Somehow my goofy bum managed to get 2 somehow and I have no recollection as to how

[coarse estuary]

ok gettin back into my pokemon heart gold ok version locke and its kinda weird seeing my spinarak being part dark type

[untold hill]

Gen 10 ofc

[coarse estuary]

as much of a cool idea this poll is i can see this causing some issues if the wrong person sees the results hehe

[mighty robin]

why am i the only one on gen8?

[coarse estuary]

because only 7 people have voted

[steep tapir]

Can anyone tell me the odds for cosmog from the wonder egg on rad red v4.1 or what egg group it’s in? I’ve reset and feel like I’ve seen everything except for cosmog

[mighty robin]

cmon guys, vote for Gen 8

[rich tundra]

Why would I

Gen 8 blows

[mighty robin]

better than PLA

🚶‍♂️

[wispy osprey]

isn't PLA a gen 8 game?

also, look, gen 8 could be good or bad, idk because i haven't played them, but the fact of the matter is, unova games are too peak, nothing else touches them

[mighty robin]

I’m not 100% sure, but I still don’t like it

SwSh, SM, USUM were better games

[coarse estuary]

ok with the new nuzcord challenge role of regionlocke+ i think ima try me one of those

[raw quest]

bruh I cant decide. Many of the gens have their great points

[cinder iron]

I like Gen 7 visually

[maiden flare]

If I had a nickel for times I bought re-releases of old pokemon games and then in the first couple of hours I find a full odds shiny Geodude when I had a mostly undecided team then I'll have 2 nickels.
Strange it happened twice.
RIP my plans for using Cubone my team lmafo.

[broken temple]

geodude was also one of my first shines

😭

[maiden flare]

Gravler was like my 3rd or 4th ever shiny

(and this is my third time finding a shiny of the geodude line lmafo)

[inland crane]

Shiniest before gen 6 is a coin flip that makes it either cool or same.

After Gen 6 it is a coin flip that makes it either gold or change a specific part.

[cinder iron]

Apparently a lot of the RNG stuff still works on the Switch version

[maiden flare]

I swear on my mamma's life this was full odds I wasn't trying to hunt

Just BAM here you go lady go use geodude again

I do want to try some of the RNG stuff at some point

[cinder iron]

Ya

[inland crane]

Was sweet scent method gen 3 or 4?

[cinder iron]

I think one of the RNG manip guys is making a Switch guide for FRLG because it won't work exactly the same as the GBA

4

I think

OH WAIT YEA 3

[sweet crypt]

Because Gen 5 is already gonna win and Gen 9 has no representation I'm gonna vote Gen 9 because I like Gen 9's roster of Pokemon lmao

[pulsar marten]

i can play and beat any mainstream game with ease and on accident even almost qualify for the regionals in a world tourny on pokemon violet but god forbid i even try pokerogue

[sweet crypt]

Simply lock in

I mean I'm like average at best at Competitive Pokemon

And I beat Pokerogue pretty easily

So if you're close to being able to qualify for regionals you'll be fine

[coarse viper]

The only thing I dont like about PokeRogue is that I cant use my fav mons to beat the game cause Eternabeam suuucks

[sweet crypt]

Depends tbh

What are your favourite Pokemon?

Because if any of them are Special Attackers with Calm Mind you just bait Eternabeam and start setting up in its face

[coarse viper]

Oh and rival first pick can ruin my fun
Cause him picking a water type constantly against my rock types aint exactly mint condition

[pulsar marten]

ik its just a matter of good rng on my part i know almost every pokemon move effect by heart (not their names tho idk how that works) but proper competetive teams baffle me ik the basics like STAB and that stuff but i like my favs toooooo much ToT

[coarse viper]

Oh I already beaten the game with some challegenges too
Dragon, Normal, fighting etc
But I am struggling heavily with rock types since my favs are..super slow and my absolute fav Nihiligo...i dont have her

[sweet crypt]

If you know every move effect by heart then I definitely think you could handle Pokerogue

[pulsar marten]

oh i can the rng is messing me up horridly

[sweet crypt]

You should try to go for Nihilego then, it spawns in that one underwater biome

[pulsar marten]

also reasource managment with money isnt my shtick xd

[sweet crypt]

Nihilego is nice because it has Quiver Dance as an egg move and Levitate as a passive

[pulsar marten]

still learning not to spend on the oooo that looks cool or hey i should heal just in case yknow?

[sweet crypt]

And with both it's genuinely just one of the best Pokemon for Pokerogue, and only really fears Physical attacks

[coarse viper]

Tried to in endless mode
I just didnt get lucky enough
Will have to start another run in Endless

[sweet crypt]

Fair enough

Pickup is a pretty helpful ability to have

[pulsar marten]

tho i have found crab hammer corphish is a great starter for early game

[sweet crypt]

Since it can help pick up shit like Sitrus Berries for healing

That could help

[pulsar marten]

great attack

[sweet crypt]

You don't even need to start with Pickup users since they spawn naturally in the first 2 biomes

[pulsar marten]

i need to remember that since i dont use pickup ability in games i kind brush it aside

[coarse viper]

Lovely

Aaand I was so close to finish the daily run too

Save scumming it is

[pulsar marten]

Ah save scumming a lovely term I abuse it maliciously

[coarse viper]

Of course he has storm drain cuz why wouldn't he

And its down..good riddance

Daily run off the achievement wall and shiny Mewtwo from the legendary egg

Good day today

[pulsar marten]

Eyyyy nice

[sweet crypt]

Tbh I'm not a massive fan of M2

Mewtwo is decent

It's like a middle of the road legendary

And MMY is actually great

MMX is, uh

Well it exists

[coarse viper]

Yeah I mostly use MMY with Photon Geyser in endless

After at least 2 wide lenses focus blast replaces aura sphere too for coverage

[lyric basin]

Pokemon Azure is such an underrated gem

[coarse viper]

Tho I am getting mad that so far the game only gives me the Mew X mega form

[coarse viper]

Anyone knows why items get hidden like that? It gets really annoying

[inland crane]

What emulator is this

[broken temple]

thats pokerouge

[coarse viper]

Doing better this time way more psychic spoons this time

I will love a map tho!

Make that 6 spoons since I keep stealing

[broken temple]

https://tenor.com/view/spoon-big-spoon-funny-mad-evil-stare-gif-17762991

[coarse viper]

Yes! I got the best Ultra beast

Outside of Buzwole

Aaand I one shot the 500 floor eternatus

[mortal relic]

I am free from shiny shellder hell. Yay. I can finally get started on my forever scarlet playthrough tomorrow once I get my low level frigibax.

[coarse viper]

Holy hell pokerogue crashes now when I beat the final boss after 10 stages

Wtf why are all my achievements gone??

Oh fuck off game

[broken temple]

stole your achievements

[coarse viper]

Achievements
Pokedex and everything

I am actually mad I lost Nihiligo and Giratina with 2 egg moves

[broken temple]

now you can do it all over again

[coarse viper]

Brick I am not in a mood for jokes

[broken temple]

maybe ask on the pokerouge discord?

maybe they can help

[coarse viper]

Seems to be an everyone issue

[broken temple]

i just checked i dont have that issue

[coarse viper]

Yeah I am in their bug report chats
A lot of people flood it

[sweet crypt]

Oh shit the devs made an announcement about it

Ok yeah evidently sonething just got fucked up

[coarse viper]

God I hope they have a rollback for this

[sweet crypt]

They probably will

I definitely remember them having ro do rollbacks in the past

[coarse viper]

Pff the Pokerogue chat is so unhinged right now

[mighty robin]

so the chat kinda going rogue?

I’ll leave now

[sweet crypt]

Can't be as bad as the chat during the incident

[proven geyser]

DAWGWHAT

I WISHLIST THE NONSHINY BC IT'S THE ONLY ONE OF THE 3 I'M MISSING(was lowkey hoping to trade a suicune dupe for an entei for the set) AND MY FIRST 10 PACK OF PALDEAN SET SAIF "HOLD MY BEER"

[cinder pulsar]

GUYSSS THE EMERALD ROGUE MAIN DEV IS BACKKKKK!!

I cannot wait for the updates, I have been playing that game for years even when PokAbbie was on break

love that game so much

[open eagle]

Is there a Pokemon game anywhere
Where like you pick a gen 1 starter and play through the Kanto region beat the elite 4
Then you can move on to like gen 2 play through that region and so on till you play through all the generations 😅

[coarse estuary]

closest thing to that is fireash but nothing exactly like you want exists

[open eagle]

Damn

That would be really sick

[coarse estuary]

you are more than welcome to make something like that

[open eagle]

I don’t have the knowledge to be able to achieve that 😂

[coarse estuary]

goated 31s on my baby mon encounter. love xy does that. gave my budew 31 in speed and special attack

[cinder pulsar]

Kinda like Ash's journey?

If only I had experience modding roms lol

[open eagle]

What’s the one?

[cinder pulsar]

Oh no that's not a game name, I was asking if you wanted like an anime following game

Like how Ash's journey is in the Anime/show

[open eagle]

Oh ok yea like it goes through all the generations picking a starter and beating the regions

[mighty robin]

This image was taken back in 2021/2022 of the first gamma of this kind I found

And then a year later, same month, same day

Ain’t that crazy?

[keen sluice]

Love it

[sweet crypt]

I have 0 clue if Loomian Legacy counts as a Pokemon game

On one hand it plays like one and is a direct successor of one

[keen sluice]

It basically is

[sweet crypt]

On the other, the entire point of LL is that it isnt a Pokemon game

Or Nintendo will fucking blow it up again

[keen sluice]

Is there a clear indicator

If somethin is shiny

[sweet crypt]

Yes

[keen sluice]

Where

[sweet crypt]

There are shiny sparkles and I believe the icon for it will also appear

And for Gammas in particular they'll have their wisp, too

[keen sluice]

Dude

My starter was electric

[sweet crypt]

It's crazy that I've played LL since day one and I have not encountered a singular Gamma Gleam

Unfortunate doesn't BEGIN to describe my series

[keen sluice]

I was a day 1too

[sweet crypt]

I will say, your bag is a lot less clusterfucked than mine

So I couldn't have guessed

[keen sluice]

Holy fuck

I got torchic

In loomian legacy

[sweet crypt]

Mfw all flightless fire birds are Torchic

[keen sluice]

What is this

It has a secret

Thingy

[sweet crypt]

Secret Abilities are what LL calls Hidden Abilities

[keen sluice]

Ohhh

Also whats this

Lmao

[sweet crypt]

Zuelong's is the Sheer Force clone

Do note that the base abilities of all the starters in LL is the Adaptability clone

[sweet crypt]

Shiny Halloween Kabunga

[keen sluice]

Is it good

[sweet crypt]

Idk the LL meta

And a fucking Grass/Dark type is a top 5 Loomian in Singles

[keen sluice]

Also this one got this badge

[sweet crypt]

So I clearly can't predict it like I would with Pokemon

[keen sluice]

No like

Is it rare

[sweet crypt]

That's for size I believe

This Kyogo is beeg

[sweet crypt]

It is only available during Halloween events

But it's also like

The most common mf during those

[keen sluice]

I got hella event ones

Icigool

Gwrum

ALSO

WAIT

GAMMA

is gamma rare

[sweet crypt]

Yes

It's one in a shitton

AKA I'm too lazy to actually say

[gloomy perch]

what are we talking about over here

[mighty robin]

a pokemon game

[gloomy perch]

what game

the best one which as we all know is the hoenn

[sweet crypt]

Perfect timing

Wait you didn't even vote for Hoenn

I know it's your poll but like

[pulsar marten]

Lol gen 5 will always be the best imo

[untold hill]

Loomian Legacy? Here?

[gloomy perch]

i did vote for hoenn

[sweet crypt]

True, I voted Gen 9 because Gen 5 was already gonna win and I wanted to give Gen 9 a shoutout for having a GOATed selection of mons

[mighty robin]

why didn't gen 8 win

😭

[gloomy perch]

gen 9 is objectively bad not the mons but the games

[sweet crypt]

Both Gen 3 and Gen 6 have 0 votes

This is a lie

[gloomy perch]

then i forgot to vote

[sweet crypt]

But yeah I agree with Gen 5 as best, Gen 5 is peak

Probably has my 3rd or 4th favourite roster of Pokemon and definitely have my favourite games in the series overall

[gloomy perch]

i actualy hated gen 5 as a kid because i could not complete the game

[sweet crypt]

I actually have a ranking for this btw lmao

Like straight up

[gloomy perch]

same

[sweet crypt]

I took my Pokemon tierlist and put the info into a table

[gloomy perch]

can i see it

[sweet crypt]

Let me find it

[pulsar marten]

Gen 5 has the best story gen 6 had a decent one I did like it but it didn't make you think like gen 5 but after that the stories just... Got bland or used tropes that were over used

Even scarlet and violet while yes great pokemon selection was the single most hand held game I've seen

[gloomy perch]

gen 7 was my most favorite game play wise

[pulsar marten]

That's oras right?

[gloomy perch]

yes but also sun and moon

[pulsar marten]

I absolutely loved that game it's my second fav

[pulsar marten]

Sun and moon was great I liked the mechanics

[gloomy perch]

same

i loved it gameplay wise

[pulsar marten]

But yeah scarlet and violet can't even be called challenging it was buggy, didn't punish you for over leveling, and allowed you to pretty much go anywhere in the game almost immediately making it rather.... Boring when it came to grinding

[sweet crypt]

It literally isn't

ORAS is Gen 6

[pulsar marten]

Cause in gen 5 and below you would fail almost every move if you over leveled

[gloomy perch]

it is i thought it was gen 7

[pulsar marten]

But scarlet and violet didn't even make it every 5 moves you'd fail one it was so hand holdy

[sweet crypt]

Obedience has never affected non-traded Pokemon

[pulsar marten]

I legit managed to snag an over leveled garchomp before I got the third badge even due to the way the terrain was

[gloomy perch]

yes it has

[pulsar marten]

It did in gen 5 I can assure you

[sweet crypt]

Except for, funnily enough, SV

[pulsar marten]

I had a pokemon in black and white that got one level over and failed 12 moves in a row

It would never listen until I got the next badge

[sweet crypt]

Just that in SV, they only disobey you if you catch them overleveled

[sweet crypt]

Was it traded from either a player or an NPC?

[gloomy perch]

yes i got a garitina that was lv 100 and it would not listen to me

[pulsar marten]

Nope was my starter emboar

[gloomy perch]

danm sucks for you

[sweet crypt]

Either you're lying or Bulbapedia is

[sweet crypt]

So uhh

[mortal relic]

They do that in za as well. I caught a dratini and it would obey me intill I got another rankk

[sweet crypt]

How exactly did you get a Level 100 Giratina to disobey you?

[pulsar marten]

The garchomp didn't even disobey often I think it disobeyed maybe 3 times? It was level 60 my team was 30 it should never have worked

[mortal relic]

Also the caught pokemon not obeying you is recent gen. Before it was only traded.

[gloomy perch]

i was at the beginning of the game and my friend traded it to me

[sweet crypt]

Well that'd also disobey you in SV, then

[pulsar marten]

I'm not also I've never trusted Bulbapedia tbh found some inconsistent stuff on it with the games

[sweet crypt]

So your point is pointless

[gloomy perch]

i was saying that it started in gen 5

[sweet crypt]

Disobedience has definitely existed before Gen 5

And after Gen 5

[mortal relic]

So SV did punish you for being over leveled. Still think level scaling should've been a thing for the gyms. But you couldn't over level otherwise they wouldn't listen to you.

[pulsar marten]

"Pokémon have disobeyed commands when overleveled since Generation I (Red/Blue/Yellow)"

[sweet crypt]

Overleveling is an issue in SV

[pulsar marten]

it was in gen 1 so its always been here

[sweet crypt]

And also in like every other Pokemon game

If you want to overlevel to stomp shit nothing is stopping you

[mortal relic]

Only traded pokemon. I dont know when they changed it too caught as well but before only traded pokemon ever disobeyed

[sweet crypt]

According to Bulbapedia, starting with L:A

[pulsar marten]

My point was that scarlet and violet was made soooo easy that people who never played a shred of pokemon were the only ones who found it difficult oh and 10 year olds obviously

[mortal relic]

Yeah i had a feeling. Especially since za has the feature as well.

[sweet crypt]

Also SV's bugs are overexaggerated imo but maybe I just got lucky or some shit

[mortal relic]

I never had many glitches either.

I did have lag in certain areas but only in the ones that spawned aton of pokemon

[sweet crypt]

People be describing SV like RBY in terms of glitches

Beating RBY without glitches is probably harder than beating it with glitches

Sorry, not probably

Definitely

[mortal relic]

Which is fixed with the switch 2 even without the 10 dollar upgrade

[sweet crypt]

And by a wide margin

Literally a singular stat boost/drop after Brock and the run is over

[pulsar marten]

Then I don't know how my emboar was disobeying me I remember it clearly it was against Brycen my emboar level up mid fight to 38 and refused to obey

[mortal relic]

Yeah rby had issues but they are excused because of being the first entry ever.

[sweet crypt]

38 is, uhh

Not a obedience cap

For any Pokemon game

It's always multiples of 5

Are you sure you didn't get frozen for 12 turns?

[mortal relic]

It sounds like you mayve encounter a glitch

[sweet crypt]

Ice type moves tend to do that

I hate Freeze

Genuinely the worst mechanic in all of Pokemon

[pulsar marten]

Shi you know what to a 8 year old frozen may seem like disobeying XD

[sweet crypt]

Garbage

[mortal relic]

It used to be worst

[pulsar marten]

I think my thought process was that since emboar was fire it can't possibly be frozen so I just forgot it was frozen

[sweet crypt]

There's no used to be this shit's even worse than Dynamax

[mortal relic]

Lol yeah it seems like you mayve misunderstood what happened

Before you couldn't thaw unless hit with a fire move

In gen 1.

[pulsar marten]

Wasn't frozen back then perm until you healed it? I don't remember when but I think it used to be a perm status effect not a three turn one

[mortal relic]

Imagine if they hadn't changed that

[sweet crypt]

I am aware

[mortal relic]

Honestly I dont mind freeze as status mostly because its funny

[sweet crypt]

And Blizzard also had like, what, a 30% chance to Freeze in Red and Green?

And the 90% accuracy of course

[mortal relic]

But I do like frostbite more. (It should work as a special type burn. But its better.)

[sweet crypt]

This shit's so fucked up

Gen 1 balancing in general is, uh

Hmm

[mortal relic]

Clumsy Beginnings

[sweet crypt]

My favourite thing to talk about when it comes to this is about the Ghost and Psychic interaction glitch

[pulsar marten]

Honestly I feel that the only really annoying status is confusion

[sweet crypt]

Ghost is supposed to hit Psychic for SE

[pulsar marten]

I find myself being messed up by it the most

[mortal relic]

Ghost was supposed to be SE?

[sweet crypt]

But because of a glitch, Psychic was immune to Ghost

[sweet crypt]

There's dialogue in the game directly mentioning it should be

[pulsar marten]

Everything else either doesn't do enough to the pokemon or just doesn't hinder me much

[sweet crypt]

Despite that, it literally just

Does not matter

Why, you ask?

Let me get the calc real quick

[mortal relic]

I mean even without the glitch the only ghost line was part posion so it wasnt a good match up anyway

[sweet crypt]

Gengar Lick vs. Abra: 78-92 (30.8 - 36.3%) -- 57.8% chance to 3HKO

This is the strongest STAB Ghost move in the game

Failing to consistently 3HKO

AN ABRA

[mortal relic]

I still think lick being ghost type is weird.

[sweet crypt]

Night Shade is stronger than Lick technically

But Night Shade ignores all type matchups

And in Gen 1, that includes immunities

[mortal relic]

I know because of haunter but we also had lickytung

[sweet crypt]

So genuinely the Ghost vs Psychic glitch is completely and utterly irrelevant

[sweet crypt]

Couldn't learn Lick in Gen 1 iirc

[mortal relic]

Oh yeah that was something that it couldn't learn

Despite the name.

[sweet crypt]

But yeah, this is my favourite way of illustrating RBY's balancing issues

But other valid methods include the Normal type, the Psychic type and Wrap

[mortal relic]

As I stated before gen 1 can be forgiven for its jank because it was the first entry in the series.

[sweet crypt]

I mean sure maybe I won't blame it for being glitchy as hell

But like

Not ranking it lower for it is just silly

[mortal relic]

They fixed a few issues balancing and glitch wise in gen 2 almost immediately

Like speed being directly tied to critting.

[sweet crypt]

And Hyper Beam recharging on KO

[mortal relic]

Which would've been a nightmare if thats how it worked in the modern games.

They really hit their stride in gen 4 with the physical special split id say

[sweet crypt]

Physical Special split is funny to me

Because like

The entire time they let a fucking Special Attacker run around with 2 physical STABs

And then the split happened

And Gengar just

[mortal relic]

Lol yeah. You know thinking of gen 1. Do you think gen 10 will overtake them in sale number?

[sweet crypt]

Did not get better

[mortal relic]

Because SV got pretty close.

[pulsar marten]

I doubt it but maybe that's my hate of the shown starters

[sweet crypt]

Bro lost Ice coverage and apparently that was enough to weigh down gaining STABs

Boltbeam's kinda cracked I suppose

So that's not much of a shock

[sweet crypt]

Mayhaps

[mortal relic]

It'd be nice timing. Gen 1 being overtaken by Gen 10

Feels thematic.

[sweet crypt]

It would be pretty cool yeah

Unrelated, but I don't understand why some people say "bad story" when ranking Pokemon games vs each other

[mortal relic]

Has anyone been playing pokepia yet?

[sweet crypt]

There's like, 1, arguably 2 Pokemon games with a good story

[mortal relic]

I mean story is a big part for me but it doesnt make or break a game for me

Actually I will disagree with that

None are bad. Some are just bland. But not bad by any means

[sweet crypt]

Most are bland

[mortal relic]

But id say atleast half of them are good stories.

[sweet crypt]

I can't say I understand difficulty discussions much as well

[mortal relic]

The only one I didn't particularly enjoy is either x and y (which may come from my dislike of megas) and maybe sword and shield?

[sweet crypt]

Because like

The only difficulty in any of these games is getting hit by bad RNG

[mortal relic]

Yeah i never did either

[sweet crypt]

cough cough Freeze

[sweet crypt]

Volo's a bitch too if you're unprepared and don't use healing items in battle

[mortal relic]

Pokémon has never been difficult for me. Even black and white along with their sequals

[sweet crypt]

8 fucking Pokemon

"Holy shit"

[mortal relic]

Ive yet to fight him but I've heard he was hell.

Arceus is very hard for me to click with because catching was never my favorite thing to do

[sweet crypt]

But yeah generally Pokemon is easy

[mortal relic]

I much prefer zas battle focus

[sweet crypt]

So saying a Pokemon game is worse than another because it's easy doesn't make sense to me

Tbh the thing that I value the most is kinda just

[mortal relic]

For me pokemon and games in general is a very simple. "Is it fun?"

[sweet crypt]

The new Pokemon themselves

Apart from fun

Which doesn't count because I have fun easily

[mortal relic]

If yes then I couldn't care less about graphics and story

[sweet crypt]

And this is probably why I rate SV so much higher than most

Because I fucking love the Gen 9 Pokemon

[vague haven]

Valid as hell

[mortal relic]

I slightly care about fps but mostly I want a stable fps. I dont care if its 30 or 60.

[vague haven]

Who's your favorite Gen 9 mon

[mortal relic]

If its stable than im happy

[sweet crypt]

Either the funny calc feesh or Ogerpon

[mortal relic]

Calc fish?

[sweet crypt]

Uber Feesh: Offensive Wallbreaker

[vague haven]

Ah someone who likes the bonk oni

[mortal relic]

Is it the one that always attacks you in the water. God what was its name

[sweet crypt]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Beads of Ruin Tera Fire Chi-Yu Overheat over 2 turns vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Palkia in Sun: 306-360 (95.3 - 112.1%) -- 80.9% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

[mortal relic]

Oh the legendary

[sweet crypt]

Quad resist btw

Also I just like how it looks too

[vague haven]

Honestly the paradox mons were all cool

[mortal relic]

I love those legends because they are not the animal. They are the item.

[sweet crypt]

Paradox Pokemon aren't very creative, that much is true

But like

[mortal relic]

The animal is just the element they can manipulate

[sweet crypt]

They're cool as fuck

So what if Roaring Moon is just MegaMence with feathers it pulls that shit off amazingly

[vague haven]

I wish paradox tyranitar was better

[mortal relic]

Honestly even the mons i dont enjoy i liked

The most I call some is bland

But I've already stated. Bland to me isnt bad. Just not my cup of tea

[vague haven]

Because I would have played pokemon violet if it weren't for 2 things

[sweet crypt]

Here's this table I have btw (I don't have the tierlist on my PC and I think it'd be too disruptive because of how long it is)

[mortal relic]

I will forever defend flamigo. They are my special bird that hits like a truck for some reason

[sweet crypt]

Flamigo is just so funny to me

Because like

It's literally just a flamingo

But yet it just has crazy stats and a crazy type

[vague haven]

Iron thorns being good would have genuinely convinced me to play pokemon violet on its own

[sweet crypt]

And you catch this shit before even reaching the school

[mortal relic]

We've always had "its just an animal" but with a random type

[sweet crypt]

This mf literally drives Staraptor out of a job competitively

[mortal relic]

Like why is it fighting and why does it have a 500 basestat total

[sweet crypt]

Literally you just never use Staraptor

Because if you want to use Staraptor, use Flamigo

It's so fucking funny to me

[mortal relic]

People use flamigo in competitive!

[sweet crypt]

Especially since Mega Staraptor was released in the SAME GENERATION

It felt like Staraptor took that shit personally

[vague haven]

I'm happy all of the starters were in the game

[sweet crypt]

And got a Fighting type Mega for itself

[vague haven]

Primarily so I could have an entire team of torterra but eh

[mortal relic]

I may not like megas usually for unevolved pokemon but flamigo has the basestats to back it up already so id love to see a mega for it.

[sweet crypt]

I still would rather Flamigo get at least 1 evolution first

[mortal relic]

But I dont want megas as a main stay

[sweet crypt]

Don't want to risk Flamigo becoming like Camerupt, Mawile or Sableye

[mortal relic]

I know its a fan favorite but its just so unfair because its such a exclusive mechanic that only certain pokemon get

[sweet crypt]

Camerupt has the same BST as Basculin

And is far worse than it, too

[mortal relic]

Atleast it evolved once.

[sweet crypt]

This is the ace of a Evil Team Leader btw

[mortal relic]

Some pokemon like mawile and sableye dont get that.

[sweet crypt]

Literally worse than fucking Basculin

[mortal relic]

I dont judge pokemon just on basestats on preformance.

Camerupt has a decent type combo (dont send it out against a water type) and a decent moveset.

Basuclin on the other hand is just a water type that doesnt even get that many good moves. Hisuan basuclin gets a pass because it evovles.

Id rather use a camerupt than a basuclin

[brisk hedge]

Flamigo has a 500 bst, so it probably doesn’t need one

[sweet crypt]

The issue with Camerupt isn't its type

It's the fact that it's from Hoenn

AKA: Slow, frail and mixed

It doesn't hit hard or fast and doesn't have bulk to tank hits

[mortal relic]

It hits hard.

[sweet crypt]

Basculin's speed and abilities allow it to be a scary fast wallbreaker on lower tiers

[mortal relic]

It has 100 in both stats. It hits hard. You just need to send it out at the right time

Im not judging pokemon based on competive.

Thats not fair to them

Im judging them strictly on main story play

Competive has power creep and serious issues.

[sweet crypt]

If we're playing casually then tbh Camerupt over Basculin is fair

If nothing else because Water is common as shit

I mean sure Basculin would work good as a Water type

[mortal relic]

Judging pokemon based strictly on competive play makes good pokemon look worst than they actually are.

[sweet crypt]

But I mean

I could also just get a Gyarados

[mortal relic]

Or literally any other water type in hoenn which is filled with them

[sweet crypt]

Weak to Rock sucks ass I guess

But immune to Ground is great

And becoming neutral to Grass is too

[mortal relic]

Yeah but unless you playing ORAS gyarados wouldn't proform as a normal water type anyway

[sweet crypt]

Quad weak to Electric doesn't matter because staying in on a SE move is what a moron would do

[sweet crypt]

I'm speaking just generally

[mortal relic]

Fair

[sweet crypt]

Since Basculin doesn't exist in Hoenn

Anyways Camerupt also shares its BST with Lumineon

Which is also funny to me

(And Sharpedo, of course)

[mortal relic]

I refuse to use gyarados in the gens before the special physical split

I mean that makes sense. They are all 2 stage pokemon

[sweet crypt]

What do you mean you don't want your STABless Gyarados?

Well uhh

HP Flying I guess

Hey, HP has a max BP of 70 this Gen

[mortal relic]

I dont even care about stab usually but Id like atleast one stab move

[sweet crypt]

So uhh

Better than nothing?

Other funny Pokemon stats

Iirc, Ponyta has a higher BST than Parasect in Gen 1

In general, Ponyta's BST is abnormally high for a first stage

[mortal relic]

Im honestly surprised rapids didn't get a mega

[sweet crypt]

It has the 2nd highest BST of any Pokemon that has always been a 1st stage that is capable of evolving

[mortal relic]

Rapiddash

[sweet crypt]

The 1st being Poipole

Its BST is higher than what some early fully evolved Bugs get

[mortal relic]

Before raichu got megas id just chalk it up to the regional but now we have a mega pokemon that has a regional.

Granted it may get mascot rights hence why it got them

[sweet crypt]

I mean, even before then

We still had Slowbro

[mortal relic]

Oh yeah slowbro!

Why did i forget that line got a regional.

[sweet crypt]

Probably because it's DLC

And Galarian Slowbro specifically isn't anything spectacular

Definitely worse than base Slowbro

Galarian Slowking on the other hand...

[mortal relic]

The funny thing is im replaying sword. And was thinking of the dlc because im gonna use the bulbasaur we get from mustard

So i literally was thinking of slowpoke today

[sweet crypt]

Oh

Well that's quite sad for the G-Slowpoke line

[mortal relic]

... wanna know something about peony I learned?

How many daughters do you think he has?

[brisk hedge]

I know he has one, cause a saw a screenshot of SV’s DLC

[mortal relic]

Penny

Penny is one of them

Which is very funny to me because she's so white that it never occurred to me that she could be mixed. Peony genes didn't even TRY with her

[brisk hedge]

She could be adopted for all we know

[mortal relic]

No peony wife is clearly white

So she just took after her mother in skin tone.

[brisk hedge]

I haven’t played the DLC. Do we know who his wife is?

[mortal relic]

Which i knew could happen in mixed people but I've never seen that depicted in a video game before

Here's the picture were I think she's shown. Like why else would this random woman be in it

[sweet crypt]

We know of 2

But who tf knows if he has more

[mortal relic]

I was more trying to built suspense

Because I only learned this recently

And wanted to see how many people knew

But I could see him having more kids lol

[supple basalt]

*Sw/Sh DLC

[supple basalt]

Peony is the best dad in all of pokemon. Protagonist dads should learn from him

[mortal relic]

Honestly id love a single dad in one of the games.

[supple basalt]

We have one in Gen 3. And there is a single missable line of dialogue in the alola games hinting your dad is somewhere on the islands

[mortal relic]

As someone who's always been closer with her father it'd be nice to have a dad in the games. Norman was an alright parent. Especially in the anime. Which usually how I define characters who dont get alot of screen time

[brisk hedge]

No, S/V DLC. When Penny’s talking to Peony on the phone

[supple basalt]

Penny talks to Peony?

PEONY IS IN THE S/V DLC??

[brisk hedge]

[supple basalt]

Oh ykw it makes like leagues worth of sense now that I think of what I know about Peony vs Penny's dialogue in Area Zero XD

[coarse viper]

Let's go! Floor 1000 Eternatus down

[smoky gyro]

How tf did the Chansey still live more than 1 scale shot

Im +6-

[analog lance]

Woo! Successful platinum run complete!

Team ranged from lvl 54-63 by the end

[coarse estuary]

w team. im glad it wasnt just generic sinnoh team 12334487934287342

[analog lance]

When I replay regions I try to use unique teams of Pokemon I haven’t used before

It’s a tradition I’ve done for a few years now that has allowed me to appreciate many more Pokemon

[coarse estuary]

ooh same. i just love that you didnt use the same copy paste sinnoh team everyone and their mom uses but claims to be unique

[analog lance]

I did a half and half on my first Brilliant Diamond team

Infernape, Roserade, and Luxray, but then also Manaphy, Froslass, and Honchkrow

[coarse estuary]

the two most annoying things i see when it comes to pokemon teams are the generic sinnoh teams and all alola teams having incin starter

[analog lance]

Only one of my 3 Alola runs has Incineroar

My first was Rowlet, my second was Popplio

Next up is a Leaf Green run!

[coarse estuary]

ooh fun. you going to be a basic zard picker like everone else

[analog lance]

Planned team is Blastoise, Dodrio, Parasect, Jynx, Rapidash, Sandslash

[coarse estuary]

w team love blastoise and dodrio

[analog lance]

Never used any of ‘em

Venusaur was with my last Fire Red team

[coarse estuary]

ooh fun. only time ive ever used jynx was when i was doing a playthrough idea i had where i played gens 1-6 after each game 1-5 i would pick one mon from the region that was on my final team to stick with me into each upcoming gen so when i got to gen 6 i would have a mon from each of the 6 gens and i used jynx on my gen 2 team

[sand lion]

max def eviolite 🥀

[analog lance]

Theoretically I can play 12 Kanto games and not repeat non-Starters

Only 6 Johto games, tho. Then 8 Hoenn (4 Emerald, 4 ORAS). 9 Sinnoh (2 Platinum, 7 BDSP). 11 Unova games. 5 Kalos games. 6 Alola. 7 Galar. 6 Paldea. 2 Hisui. 2 Lumiose City

[uncut oracle]

pokopia tomorrow

i would be hype if i knew how to play dragon quest builders, which is what the gameplay looks like to me

[coarse viper]

Fk yeah let's good!

[smoky gyro]

LMAO

[coarse viper]

1300 ish floors and no map
Is the map even dropping in Endless?

I just finished a playthrough of Ultra Sun today using only Ribombee. The Elite Four was a nightmare. Steel, Rock, Ghost, Flying.

[wispy vale]

I’m not sure it’s really advertisement tho if it’s not something I’m trying to profit from @supple basalt ?

Hmm hard to say though, I can see your point

[supple basalt]

As the rule says it's a gray area. Even invites to people's discord streams have been disallowed

uhh

my xenoverse isnt launching

😭

[jovial cosmos]

Has anyone got their hands on Pokopia yet? Curious to know if it's any good. 😮

[coarse estuary]

I need to get the download from the beehive server

[eager cypress]

I personally haven’t played it yet, but I heard that it has some of the highest reviews for a Pokémon game ever

[tight granite]

Imma play in an hour

[brisk hedge]

When am I going to get my god pack

[ruby marlin]

I will be able to play pokopia soon

[tight granite]

[eager cypress]

Female combee, nice

[unkempt leaf]

hey, is there someone with a ditto other than FR svp ?

[harsh comet]

heyyyyyy

is anyone able to trade me a popplio in scarlet I'm trying to do a specific playthrew and i need one to complete it it can be any level to i would jut really appreciate it

[lyric basin]

Empyrean is such 10/10 fangame, because you can have a drunk night with a woman and wake up in the same bed, then travel 1000 years into the future, and spend a night with her distant descendant lmao

[sleek steppe]

Does anyone have 2 spare scorbunny 3 spare grookey and 3 spare sobble for my living dex?

On sword and shield

[coarse estuary]

i cant agree its 10/10 id say 4/10

[lyric basin]

Nah in all honesty, it's more like a 7.5 to me. The story absolutely carries tho, i'd rate it way lower otherwise

combat is kinda boring and mid, but they've added some interesting gimmicks

[brisk hedge]

He 👍 reacted it, yet the post is still there

[gloomy perch]

hey guys it pokepia any good

[broken temple]

apperently its the highest rated pokemon game on some websites

which is hilarious to me

[gloomy perch]

when i first saw it i thought it was a animal crossing ripoff

[broken temple]

its kinda is

[fluid turtle]

deleted

[fluid turtle]

ive been enjoying the game. But yeah its just the pokemon version of animal crossing

[sweet crypt]

Chat how do you rank Pokemon games?

Is it just like

How much you enjoyed it or some shit?

Because I can't think of very many objective factors

[gloomy perch]

ORAS

[fluid turtle]

ORAS was peak

[broken temple]

you can look at it many ways
story
character
gameplay
dex

[sweet crypt]

I mean ranking by story, the highest Pokemon Game is like B tier

[broken temple]

exactly

[sweet crypt]

Pokemon games don't really have good story

And most of them are like

D tier

Actually joever

[gloomy perch]

pokemon games be like: oh, no there is a person trying to destroy the world

[broken temple]

i tend to rank them on a mix of all the above

since pokemon stories are cartoon levels of writing

i look at them like that

[sweet crypt]

In terms of characters uhh

Idk Gen 5 and Gen 9 on top I guess

I feel like those 2 gens have the most memorable character writing

[broken temple]

lets be real

pokemon players dont read

[sweet crypt]

Gameplay is like

Free point to Legends games

[gloomy perch]

yes we dont

[broken temple]

i didnt play any of the switch games beside lets go
so i cant comment on those

[gloomy perch]

really?

[sweet crypt]

Like apart from the Legends games the Pokemon games rank mostly similarly in gameplay

Though I will say

I think generally it's an upward trend

Because Pokemon just continues to add QoL features

[gloomy perch]

yes i loved the ride pokemon in sun and moon, as well as the soring feture in oras

[sweet crypt]

And then dex is just opinionated

[broken temple]

oras are probably my favorite games

[gloomy perch]

same here

[broken temple]

i like gen 3
and they did justice with the remake

[sweet crypt]

Tbh for the most part I just think about how much fun I had and how much I like the dex

SV and Unova I think probably have my favourite dexes

Alola's pretty high up there too

[gloomy perch]

i did not like that you had to go back the the bike shop to change the bike in oras

[sweet crypt]

But like when it comes to how much fun I had I'm sorry it's just Legends Arceus/Legends ZA

[cloud lark]

Mainline maybe. I would say the Mystery Dungeon series can break into A tier a bit

[sweet crypt]

I'm mostly talking about mainline rn

Otherwise I'm being so fr I think I'd say my favourite Pokemon game is one of the Mystery Dungeon games

[gloomy perch]

i only played the mystery dungeons games for like 2 mins

[broken temple]

i only played the og mystery dungeon on the gba

pretty fun

[gloomy perch]

https://tenor.com/view/may-torchic-pokemon-buff-gains-gif-9412017531290124107

[tight granite]

...i dunno if the sparkles mean shiny..cause like got a Vespoqueen now whos also sparkling but its def not very red. no other of my villagers sparkle besides Combee and Vespoqueen

[broken temple]

it looks shiny

[tight granite]

def doesnt

Combee and Vespoqueen get heavy sunburn when shiny

[broken temple]

could be the lighting they use ingame

but its not as yellow as it should be

[tight granite]

ye..but as i only ever gotten these. i cant tell lul

[broken temple]

probab just a quirk with the games lighting

vaspiquen is very yellow as default
the colors are slightly off

[tight granite]

either way, i might be way too lazy for this game. having to water every single block of grass on the entire continent is already annoying..the breaking of bnlocks sucks ass in third person and making grass block and dirt block 2 seperate blocks is also just..fucked. stacking grass blocks looks awful so i always gotta switch between constantly. pain in the ass. Atleast now knowing the Game gives you Tardis Houses like in Animal Crossing i have no problem tearing down all the old buildings instead of repearing

[coarse estuary]

i just didnt enjoy it because it turned into breeding for good mons or suffer

[tight granite]

i do like that while it does use ingame time like Animal Crossing (which kinda also sucks. played when it was night so that damn Onix kept sleeping) you can still do more then you would in Animal Crossing

[lyric basin]

Havent tried breeding, but i must say, my playthrough would've been way more difficult if i hadnt bought a shiny, perfect IV Ampharos from an auction

its an absolute monster, apart from the perfect IV's and mega evolution, it gets a 10% boost for every stat because it's shiny

So i understand the struggle

[cloud lark]

Apparently stereo rotom has an official typing in Electric/Normal

[sweet crypt]

They probably won't add it to the mainline games

But man

Imagine if they did

Bro has that Rotom Appliance bulk and only a single weakness with multiple good immunities

And there's only 1 logical option for the move

And it's Boomburst

Rotom already has Hyper Voice

Keep in mind out of the STAB Boomburst users, Rotom Stereo would have the 2nd best bulk, the 2nd best Speed, the best secondary type for both offensive and (with Levitate) defensive purposes and the best SpA

[tight granite]

it is the only 1 who got a new typing

but naming wise it doesnt seem it will be a battle form

Battle Rotoms are named after what they do, not what they are( and yes "it fans" is a thing, incase Fan Rotom is brought up)

[cloud lark]

Apparently people were already pointing to it and screaming about how the Sound type was finally happening, only for the Normal type to get dropped on it and remind them that Gamefreak has made their decision on Sound being a subcategory and nothing more

How people still haven't gotten that message after the likes of Noivern and Toxitricity baffles me

[sweet crypt]

People were assuming it was Sound type?

I didn't even think it'd have a type to begin with tbh

That's why it being Normal type surprised me

[brisk hedge]

Yeah, they were never going to introduce a new type in a spinoff game

[simple quartz]

Felt like Toxtricity should've been the end of the "Sound-type!!!" asks for Pokemon

Like Noivern and Exploud you can see where you can easily slot in the hypothetical Sound type

Idk what type you can kick off to add Sound for Toxtricity

[brisk hedge]

I mean, how many Pokémon are there where 3 types would make sense

[simple quartz]

Yea

[urban fractal]

The fisherman hard at work

[tight granite]

anyone found out how to assign a pokemon a home

[cloud lark]

I guess you could argue that Punk Rock could be retooled into a Steelworker type ability, but that would still leave the question of what moves like Overdrive and Psychic Noise are doing

[urban fractal]

Lead the pokemon to the home talk to them and ask if they want to move in

[smoky gyro]

Why is bro off to the side

[nova marlin]

Im Sorry little one...

[sand lion]

why we still got karate chop at level 68 😭

[nova marlin]

https://giphy.com/gifs/reaction-1oDvHW440hFiouBBwy

Karate chop is...

[severe holly]

Guys I can’t wait for wind and waves on some non-nonchalant stuff

I know it’s bouta cost $100CAD but like still

[jovial cosmos]

Really, really rough draft of a Mega Chimecho sprite. 😄

Finally motivated to do some Smogon sprites again. 🙂

[coarse viper]

About time I got one of these guys

[vital flare]

That's quite the item buildup

[broken temple]

candy farming?

[coarse viper]

Yes

I need Nihilego Levitate

[vital flare]

Ha ability or passive

[coarse viper]

Passive

[broken temple]

dope

[coarse viper]

Ability is beast boost

Which boosts her Spatk per kill

Which is neat to have as a special Attacker

[vital flare]

Passives can be a chore to get but can be so worth it

[supple basalt]

They are easier with legendaries though since while their candies take longer to grind... the passives are cheaper

[vital flare]

Passive pickup eevee starter with adaptibilty

Still my favorite

[coarse viper]

Took me like 1200 ish floors to get enough for Mewtwo

[supple basalt]

Meowscarada passive magician my beloved

Protean Magician just fucks with everyone and steals everyone's shit

[coarse viper]

I have 35 with Nihilego so far so I am doing pretty good

[supple basalt]

I just use classic to grind candies

It's easier I hate Endless

[vital flare]

Plus keeps on evolving so makes it extra good

[supple basalt]

Took two, maybe three runs to get Zamazenta's passive

Which is 600 floors btw

[coarse viper]

Yeah but endless let's me legend catch and shiny hunt
Got like 15 new shines with my Mewtwo run

And a bunch of Legends

[vital flare]

I really need to set up to play on my new account on it and get a eevee

[coarse viper]

Urshifu now with Nihilego since I have enough to always reroll for master balls if i run out

[supple basalt]

My issue with endless if you're not using specific pokemon it fucks you over and as someone who prefers using what I want and not what the game wants,

I just don't use it

It's not fun when you kinda get fucked over if you aren't using specific pokemon

[vital flare]

I also for once would like to beat classic

[coarse viper]

I usually bring my favourite and a party of random 3 luck shines and prey i get the goodies before floor 500 eternatus

[supple basalt]

I actually haven't played Pokerogue in a bit

[coarse viper]

Kinda helps most of my favourites are either ground or Psychic types

So i am always super effective against the guy

[supple basalt]

I once had 3 ground types on my team

Three

Including adamant primal groudon btw

It Oh-ko'd all three with Eternabeam

[vital flare]

I like using my favorites on pokerogue so eevee tends to have good ivs

[supple basalt]

Oh yeah I was zamazenta shiny hunting last time I played lol

[coarse viper]

On classic or challenge I usually run a few mons with mud slap or other accuracy reducing moves.
Between 195 and 200 i also try to get the free boosts

Tho I admit I save scum a lot to beat Eternatus
Pokerogue takes too long to get to those floors for me to like to do 1 attempts only

[supple basalt]

I sometimes abuse accuracy if I know I won't have an easy time with eternatus

[coarse viper]

Plus when Rng decides imma get paralysed 4 times in a row or flinch 5 times to Iron head

Like...nah nah you are bullsshiting me game

[vital flare]

Somebody come help me in general prove that furrets aren't rats

[coarse viper]

Who should I replace Blaziken with in the second team?

It's a nice mon
But I dont want it there too many lighting types

Nvm went with Noivern

[coarse estuary]

in that 2nd team blaziken is the only fighting type unless i remember iron valiant type wrong

[coarse viper]

Fairy/Fighting

[supple basalt]

Get swept

[coarse viper]

Worst villain in Pokemon

[supple basalt]

Fr

[coarse viper]

And you can't convince me otherwise

[supple basalt]

No he is the actual worst

I forgot I'm still hatching Zacian Eggs lol

I had a ton of candies when I finally got the T3 shiny and have just been hatching shiny dogs since

[coarse viper]

Anyway yeah pulling off Slow start feels pretty great

[coarse viper]

@supple basalt I know you dont like to be pinged but thought i should let you know you just gave me a Win

Accelerock one tapped Lugia and Ho-Oh

[sand lion]

is this ubers

[coarse viper]

Yes

Is the only format where I dont see the same bloody team over and over

[sand lion]

cuz your low ladder

why iron valient and gardevoir

[coarse viper]

Cuz I can and I only play with my favourites

[sand lion]

fair

[coarse viper]

Also true
But even low ladder on other game modes the games are the same

Same teams

[sand lion]

cuz they're pulling up with sample teams

[coarse viper]

Yeah ik

But that makes the other modes boring

[supple basalt]

You make me wanna play pokemon violet where I have a shiny dusk lycanroc

And with the DLC I can become the dusk lycanroc

[coarse viper]

Noice

[coarse estuary]

just installed a banger rainbow rocket 3ds theme to my 2ds

[tight granite]

found a spaceship

[sweet crypt]

Wait a minute

How did Accelerock OHKO Lugia?

Lugia literally needs to have 0 IVs, 0 EVs, Pressure and a -Defence nature to get OHKOd by Banded Tera Rock Lycanroc Dusk

And a normal Lugia set, uhh

252 Atk Choice Band Tough Claws Tera Rock Lycanroc-Dusk Accelerock vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Multiscale Lugia: 126-150 (30.2 - 36%) -- 46.8% chance to 3HKO

[coarse viper]

Well okay it was not an OhKo specifically
It was more Lugia was switched in first and went to 80%
And from 80% to 0

[sweet crypt]

I don't think that's a valid damage roll

Unless you used another move other than Accelerock on Turn 2

Which in that case it is

[coarse viper]

Nope I had Choice band soo

[sand lion]

where's the logs

[sweet crypt]

Uh huh...

[sand lion]

or was the Lugia not at full

[sweet crypt]

Also why did they not go Iron Valiant?

[sand lion]

I see no stealth rocks

[sweet crypt]

Outspeeds Lycanroc, resists Accelerock

And should easily KO

[sand lion]

low ladder activities

[coarse viper]

Idk they quit right after

[sweet crypt]

Which Arceus was that?

[coarse viper]

Mine? Ice

[sand lion]

🥀

[sweet crypt]

They literally forfeited in a winning position oh my god

[sand lion]

these 1000s are wild bru

[sweet crypt]

This is skill issue in its purest form

[coarse viper]

Idk how to access the logs but this is basically my Lyca

[sweet crypt]

You should probably go max Attack

[sand lion]

yeah

[coarse viper]

Yeah it was a testing match first time using the team

[sweet crypt]

But yeah no they literally could've just went Ival to KO Lycanroc and then they just win with Ceruledge

[coarse viper]

Also idk if Iron Valiant would have taken out Skeledirge

[sweet crypt]

I mean tbf you could also swap to Dirge on Val

But if they weren't dumb they'd also still have Lugia and Ho-Oh

Flashbacks to that one time I asked Discord to build me a NatDex OU team and this is what I got

(The matches came down to "Can Mega Altaria sweep the opponent?")

[coarse viper]

And I mean this just happened

[coarse estuary]

<@&306953740651462656> nuke em

they in multuple chanels

[supple basalt]

Omg their Iron Valiant could have won since that puppy doesn't know a fairy move XD

[supple basalt]

Why did they wait to send out Ursaluna-

[brisk hedge]

Don’t tell me the scammers found another way past the auto mod

[supple basalt]

Posting a single image doesn't trigger automod

So the answer is yes they did

[coarse viper]

Like discussed earlier I would have switched to skelierdge

[supple basalt]

I know

But still Lycanroc was sweeping lol

Imagine you had Tera Ghost on it

[coarse viper]

They would have most likely close combat on the switch

So yeah know

[supple basalt]

Prolly yeah

[coarse viper]

As for the Ursa all I had to do was will o wisp sacrifice Skelierdge and Ice beamed it with Arceus

Which worked like a glove

[coarse estuary]

lol found the funniest hack name ever. pokemon ultra something

[sweet crypt]

Low Ladder, that's why

It's the same reason why they have an Ursaluna

... And a Pikachu

And a Greninja

And a Moltres

[supple basalt]

XD

That's fair

[coarse viper]

[sweet crypt]

They had a Zacian and instead sacrificed 3 Pokemon

This is

Man

[coarse viper]

Basically yeah

[sweet crypt]

Also if this is your Arceus, why no Judgement?

[coarse viper]

To be honeeeest
I always forget to put that on

Ik ik

Bad on my end

[sweet crypt]

I'd probably go Calm Mind Judgement Earth Power Recover or something

And also maybe run Tera Water for Zacian

[coarse viper]

I put a Kyogre in the team instead of Torterra

Earth power worked like a charm tho 👍

This time they learned and send in Zacian second

[sweet crypt]

If they send in Slither Wing and First Impression there I think that actually KOs Arceus

If

But yeah I recommended Tera Water for the reason you're seeing right there

Zacian still hits like a bitch on neutral hits

[coarse viper]

Wouldn't fire be better then? Since fire resists both Steel and fairy?

[supple basalt]

STAB doesn't become neutral with tera though

Unless I'm misunderstanding

[sweet crypt]

Water also helps vs Kyogre

Which I like a lot

Because Kyogre is scary

[supple basalt]

It is scary lol

[sweet crypt]

No as in

Zacian's gonna nuke your ass with Behemoth Blade if you simply use Tera Ground or something vs it

[supple basalt]

Oh yeah lol 100%

[sweet crypt]

Tera Water could probably allow you to set up Calm Minds in front of Kyogre unless Kyogre's also Calm Mind

[idle cipher]

Does people used mewtwo

[coarse estuary]

what you mean does people used mewtwo?

[sweet crypt]

I mean

If we're using the word "used" here

Then yes, people used Mewtwo

But Mewtwo kinda fell off because of the powercreep and Psychic becoming a dogshit fucking type

[cloud lark]

Not much Mewtwo can do that the evil and intimidating horse and its rider can't

Even getting its Megas returned to it won't save it from Caly-S's shadow. Caly-S is only slightly weaker and slightly faster than Mega Mewtwo Y, and doesn't use an item slot

And has an actually useful ability

[sweet crypt]

And Ghost is like

An actually good type

[cloud lark]

TBF Ghost/Psychic is ass defensively, but who cares when Caly-S is capable of wiping out teams before they get a chance to hit back

[sweet crypt]

True, Ghost/Psychic is garbage defensively

Unironically in a Singles context Caly-S would be stronger if it was Pure Ghost

Like apart from Blissey where does this Psychic Type help Calyrex in Singles

[supple basalt]

It doesn't. It and Calyrex-I are only psychic type because Calyrex is Psychic and it's meant to be a fusion-esque sort of deal

[hasty gorge]

Man, the new Pokémon animal crossing game it’s gonna be so much fun. I can’t wait to see you all the friendly stuff we’re gonna see in that game.

[coarse viper]

Personally I wait on the Palworld version of that

[hasty gorge]

I take that all back when I said friendly

[coarse viper]

Lol RIP...literally

[sweet crypt]

The only reasons people don't see Psychic as negatively as it should be is because Gamefreak makes Psychic types that can make up for being a Psychic type

That and Psychic Surge Expanding Force

Psychic as a type and nothing else is like bottom 3 shit

[delicate hollow]

Why has Sabrina in FRLG got Venomoth a Bug and Poison type?
That does not match her and she could have added Hypno and given Venomoth to Koga.

[vague haven]

They gave Kyogre a southern accent

[sweet crypt]

For some reason Venomoth is very gifted in the arts of psychic abilities

And learns both Psybeam and Psychic by level up

[modern osprey]

Is this channel also for asking about other fan games? Because I’m curious if there’s a multi region fan game that includes sinnoh

Sinnoh preferred but unova cool too

[coarse estuary]

includes sinnoh as in sinnoh mons or sinnoh as in can travel to sinnoh

[modern osprey]

sinnoh the region itself my bad for not being clear

i like multi region games but usually whenever i see them its mainly like kanto or johto or smth like that

[coarse estuary]

only one i know of that does that is fireash

[modern osprey]

hmm interesting thank you!

[tight granite]

gave my Drilbur a Home and right after an Excadrill spawned in his old Habitat. now making his House bigger hoping i can make em live together

Cacturne's Habitat being tall grass with a fruit tree instead of you know something dry and deserty is a choice

[upbeat root]

Is there a Pokemon fan game that revolves around food or pokemon contests?

Wondering for special interest sake

[supple basalt]

Not that I know of.

[balmy island]

Do I catch Yveltal in a luxury ball or ultra ball in legends za

[coarse estuary]

Pokemon sweet exists in a rom hack sence but not fan game

[upbeat root]

Will look into that thanks!

[smoky gyro]

White herb only clears negative status right

Like I cant swords dance, get intimidated down to +1, and then white herb back to +2

[supple basalt]

No

White herb fixes your stats if you go into minus

So if you SD and get intimidated, that stays. If you're not SD and get intimidated, white herb activates

[serene edge]

Is anyone at pokemon ZA? I need help with dex trades to complete it all

[coarse viper]

Biblically accurate ass whooping

I won btw

[supple basalt]

Nah that ain't Giratina

[coarse viper]

He was not allowed a 7th slot otherwise I would have done that too

[supple basalt]

Pfft

[coarse viper]

Winning with Regigias is the best kind of roasting an enemy

[lucid agate]

GOD DAMN IT! Thx you for the backup system

https://tenor.com/view/toy-story-gif-gif-18386949400031649110

I owe you eternal gratitude.

[eager cypress]

Would anyone be willing to help me with a trade evolution in SWSH? I gotta get a Porygon to a Porygon-Z to finish the Pokédex

[ruby marlin]

Pokopia is so cool

How many mons do you have ?

[coarse estuary]

0

[ruby marlin]

You don’t have the game?

[coarse estuary]

no

dont have it

[ruby marlin]

Wanna know cacnea it’s even worse?

[full mason]

Anyone know any good rom hacks that contain all the new pokemon?

I'm a guy who prefers to catch them all

I haven't played Rom Hacks in 2 years by now, I've finished most of the big name ones like Unbound, Gaia (whenever it finishes), etc

[coarse estuary]

rad red has all the mons in it but its a difficulty hack

[full mason]

I've played that one

It was really fun but I'm look for something else now

[sweet crypt]

There's not very many games that have every Pokemon available

Though I think Elite Redux has either most or all Pokemon available

With the caveat that it's, uh

A bit absurd

[full mason]

I think up to gen 8 is fine with me

[sweet crypt]

I personally like Elite Redux a lot

[full mason]

I just like having lots to catch

[sweet crypt]

But it's a pretty objectively crazy romhack

Everything now has 4 abilities, there are many new abilities and some are absurdly broken, there's multiple new moveset additions which for the most part make Pokemon far, far stronger, new moves, direct stat buffs etc

Basically, the average strength of a Pokemon just rose tenfold

[full mason]

oh wtf 😭

[sweet crypt]

On a side note it also allows you to edit your EVs on the fly which is very cool

[full mason]

Maybe I'm searching too hard, any just good completing rom hacks I can sink my time into worth checking out

I'm not really tapped into the rom hack scene anymore so

[sweet crypt]

Idk if I'm good at giving recommendations

[full mason]

lol fair enough

might just replay infinite fusion then

this game has so much replayability

thanks for the help though

[sweet crypt]

I guess I will say if you can get over the sheer absurdity of it, Elite Redux is pretty fun

[full mason]

is it still like a regular pokemon game besides that

gym battles, elite four, etc

[sweet crypt]

Yes

The main draw of Elite Redux is the 4 abilities thing

That and the average Pokemon being crazy

It's also not as difficult as you may assume from that

Because remember, you get these crazy Pokemon too

[full mason]

if its not too difficult ill play it

i just love catching things

tysm for the rec

[tight granite]

Pokopia is too big...havent even fully done much in the first area and now i gotta fix Vermillion?? and thats sitll the beginning of the game
