lame
Also Yveltal is learning Zygarde's signature move
By the way, Maxie is Gladion
F
by Terrakion that I spent all my balls on and didn't catch way back on Melemele
this is so saaad
What a coincidence, I just killed a Terrakion
and I don't have that many mons that can replace her
I guess wait for the next catch
guess I'm gonna grind and evolve some stuff I never used before
I don't have any more encounters before the trial tho
Oh look, it's you
Dead
gonna see what these guys can do and learn
That fear when it says the opponent used horn drill, even though they miss
Is it a sun stone or leaf stone?
Well, I have one, so you should either have one or get one soon
I think it might be in the desert actually
the desert is after the ghost trial, I'm right next to it
so no encounters and no sun stone until I beat it
So go beat it with your current team
after I grind a bit, I'm curious to see what these mons will evolve into
especially Kabuto, it has some good moves
it evolves at lvl 40 tho, damn
That's why I'm not taking Anorith
I have Moltreses on my current route, makes it easier to grind
Fairy Fighting, Snow Cloak

it just became a worse version of it's pre-evo
Nice, I got better hydro pump
better Scald is always a better Hydro Pump
Every single Pokemon I fight has a supereffective move against me
I regret that I didn't change the double type probability from 50% to something higher
having so many single types is meh
70-80% would feel much better
What did you do
70-80% would feel much better
The high effort play is to math out how many fully-evolved monotypes exist compared to fully-evolved dual-types exist, and set the ratio to that.
I forgor that there's at least two areas before the trial
they're just so forgetable for me hahaha
My Pokemon can't switch into any attacks at all, I just have to heal for 20 turns until the opponent's PP runs out or they use some other move randomly
This opponent only had 1 move since he started using struggle after 15 attacks
thousand arrows is so neat to have
it affects flying and levitating opponents + can attack those who's in fly or bounce
Fighting the evil Aether employees and got randomized to a cute nice one
hahaha
quiver dance is neat
I'll probably evolve it to see the new typing
oooh Sun Stone isn't in the desert, it's near the lab in the rocky ground area
What lab?
Hau sent out a Magmortar with drizzle, luckily the opponent Bellsprout had drought
oh shoot
You vs the cooler you
Even though Owlman is Thomas Wayne Jr., not Bruce
I forgot, but oh well
speaking about better hydro scalds
Fun
Happy hour, epic lol
Gladion, you're supposed to be my teammate!
that's better
Gladion still doesn't know which side to choose
It's like he's ambivalent towards both good and evil
Gladion killed the mother Pokemon, huh?
huh.
I have almost no Pokemon now
I'm just going to spend an hour in speed up and level up a bunch of Pokemon to lvl 60 or something
And I'm just gonna turn on exp share for now
I'm always grinding with exp share on just to save time
Flying Something, some ability
not that bad, ability is neat
please not fire
oooooh that's good!
and it got Oblivion Wing TM compability 

huge power 180 bp move is WILD
YES, Hawlucha can learn Thunder Punch!
Shock Wave was really weak
and Incineroar can teach Zen Headbutt, I was afraid he won't teach any physical psychic attacks at all
this tree on Ulaula beach didn't have an encounter for me personally
I'll come back to it tomorrow
this thing has both Delta Stream and Dragon Ascent
when I battled blue Furfrou on the other route, it was pure Grass
gonna fly and check which types it has
managed to evolve into 3 different pink shinies
And now this guy...
huh, it changed it's form once I grabbed it from PC
I wonder if it'll have it's form for 5 days if I trim it
sooo
I don't remember mine losing its form
Emulator probably doesn't work off the clock
Diamond: Psychic Ground, Swarm
Heart: Ground, Hyper Cutter
Star: Fire, Stance Change
Light Blue: Grass Ice, White Smoke
Japanese: Fighting, Sticky Hold
Pharaoh: Psychic, Hydration
Lillie: Ground Dragon, Soundproof
Purple: Flying, Flare Boost
Cylinder Hat: Flying, Oblivious
and I forgor to check Normal
yea sadly it changes back to normal every time I use PC
and it's Rock Fire, Liquid Ooze
u know what's dumb?
Steam Eruption reads where your hands are and makes water jets going out of them
hydro pump can't do the same with Blastoise's cannons
I haven't got any Pokemon with thousand arrows, but I've had 2 with thousand waves and several with land's wrath
I had all 3 moves
I have Thousand Waves TM, Arrows on Incineroar and Wrath on dead Pidgeot
here he is again!
What kind of name is Brone
it has starting, standing and loosing animations but not ball throwing animation
Because Kartana just appears next to him in the actual game
Dang, I had a shiny Camerupt die earlier on in this playthrough
are you allowed to use it then?
Sure, but I probably won't since I have Emboar
Nice item
lol ye
Too bad you need 2 Pokemon and a key item to use it

There should be a randomiser function that lets you randomise whether a Pokémon can mega evolve
Just to make it more chaotic
Why yes your Lampent CAN become mega Slowbro
yea, and I turned it off
oh shoot it's alpha overqwil
Great TM to buy
And now I can finally have some new encounters since I reached the last island
nooooooooooooo
from shroom to shroom
I love when this epic youngster appears
got Sharpedo Ride, gonna search for TMs in Melemele
idk if there's any that are locked by rocks in Akala
"my Starmie, it likes staring contests"
I love this game


I battle Suicune with Attract
There’s one in the desert maze
neat, reached the constant rain route where I can evolve Sliggoo later
desert is Ulaula
Well, you can get it still
one more super neat type
Should’ve selected moves prefer the same type
I set STAB to 50%
feels like 10% tho
hi
not counting it cuz I already have Tyrantrum
oh neat its spoon
hahahaha it's these girls
PLEASE not fire type
that's... not good at all
damn I wish I stayed fairy type Sliggoo with Eviolite
Revelation Dance is now Normal type too
Teach it techno blast instead
I'll switch it cuz it's a third Dark type in my team
evolved from Fire, Reckless
Now she's a chonky heccer
this line likes trying to be my encounter
dragon steel, whatever ability
double repeated encounter 
Same file, two different runs. About to take on the first trial.
nother mono ice
yea
steel, aerilate
4x weak to fire and fighting but at least not pure ice I guess 
I think I won't evolve Scyther so it can use Eviolite
and grass poison isn't a bad type
BST is the same anyways + it can become worse lmao
Genwunner
correct
I like Scizor and usually I'd evolve Scyther into it (partly because I already used non-evolved Scyther but never used Scizor haha) but now the type and ability are unpredictable and Grass Poison fits into my team
Shed Skin isn't like mind blowing but it's good too
I'd like Scizor more if it went more bladed with its claws instead of the weird pincer things. As is, it suffers what a lot of later-added evos suffer from of feeling really disjointed from the original.
I kind of agree. I think Mega Scizor does it more justice, because of the longer claws. Frankly, they could have just made it claws but both sides of the pincer being thin blades.
Y'know.
Like scissors.
Scizor's my top favourite pokemon
It was the first Pokemon I ever saw, I had a flea market shirt with scizor on it before I even knew what Pokemon was
nice
Breloom just had way too little defense
Cool
Poison heal kyurem kinda op ngl
Too bad toxic orb is after you've completed everything in the game
the sky became more sky
I have TM for V-Create too
And my Empoleon with Huge Power learned it
Huge Power 180 bp move one shots even if it's resisted most of the times
and it actually almost killed me when Empoleon got Impostered 
It lived with 15 HP I believe
Or so
You think I should replace pain split with slack off?
I think no unless you limit yourself in items
Cuz my logic is "why would I have a slot for a self healing move when I have potions"
Pain Split at least can deal damage
Kyurem Milk 😋
Pokemon IF refrence?
whats pokemon IF?
made a few tweaks in the team
replaced Goodra since his new type doesn't fit the team and puted Chardub in the box cuz I noticed that I barely use her outside of Switcherooing wild mons
sorry Chardub you're female now
my gf has a huge luck of finding those as shinies
recently an alpha one was her third shiny carnivine
this thing just powered up my v-create by sunny day
I guess I'll be fighting Necrozma soon
Oh right, this form first
shame that aether paradise has no encounters
And Silvally is only a gift after beating Rainbow Rocket
got my encounter on ulaula beach tho
wait, is it? I remember having one as a ghost type team member when I battled rainbow rocket
Dawn Necrozma became shiny Weavile
I see
They changed the location so you can get it earlier
yea, that's probably why I had it
Really hard fight
before silvally, my ghost type team member was kecleon btw 
Time to find a bunch of Ultra Space encounters
damn, it just used dankest lariat against my incineroar
It's dumb that they make it motion control the first time you fly
did you get your gift pikachu encounter btw?
I can't scan QR codes for cap Pikachu
something is wired with my pokemon sun so i dont play it
I mean the Pika with Surf I mentioned earlier
I don't care enough to do that dumb surfing minigame for an hour
it's super easy so I'm getting one
like, I beat these best scores in one try 
also, neat way to farm BPs for move tutors
Sure, but I'd rather just not play that minigame
just got 11 for a single ride
aww
OK
gonna check if that berry tree on the berry farm has any mons in it
Yes, I said I looked it up
now gonna look for any water TMs in Melemele
And Poipole was Tapu Fini
Now I'm fighting the stoned painter girl
damn, I hoped there's an encounter in the cave locked by sharpedo ride in melemele but it counts as ten carat hill
there's a TM tho
how
I don't know, I was at full HP too
This is the first time I've ever had a full grave box
Of course the Chansey I get has klutz so Eviolite is useless
if you have enough BPs you can buy an ability capsule where the masked royal is I believe
Time to use a rare candy
It costs 100 BP
10 stupid minigame rides 
I've only gotten 2 BP max from that
I quite like mantine surf and ultra wormhole flights
Luckily klutz doesn't negate soothe bell, so I can still evolve it faster
You're the father
I just realised that I don't need Ludicolo that much either
Empoleon is Dark Flying, and Ludicolo is pure Flying
gonna grind a bit and evolve pre-evos to see their new types
from ghost to...
...and yet another mind blowing type
damn, Scyther died
got OHKOd by a lower lvl mon
I need to check if Furfrou keeps it's form after battles
yeeee, neat!
gonna have this form since this is the only one that doesn't repeat my existing types and already has a STAB
I hope it can learn Seed Bomb from Move Tutor tho

Ice Punch too 
I just encountered shiny Shiinotic that Impostered me so I wasn't in time to take a screenshot, and it's kinda funny cuz I already encountered shiny Morelull before, and I already have Shiinotic so I can't catch it
...I can make a big brain play and check if other Furfrou forms can learn Seed Bomb and Ice Punch 
Smert
Poison
Pigs are poisonous don’t you know
well that's a neat type combo
buuut I wanna try Furfrou and don't wanna use another starter
I already have two in my team
Fair enough tbh
it's kinda funny how it has Fluffy that makes it even more weak to fire
Furfrou is underated
6x weakness but a tank to everything else
Trainer lights a match
Emboar faints from the matches light
aight, it's time to check Furfrous moves compability
and spend a few thousands on haircuts 💸
neat, normal Furfrou learns Ice Punch
and Thief

aaand heart Furfrow learns Seed Bomb
man I love how each for is it's own mon
finally! this thing used 4 roto friendships while holding soothe bell to evolve
I hope my Chansey won’t take so long to evolve
But it will
Since I just caught it in Ultra Space
Is there a term for the like
Chansey clones?
It feels like an unofficial trend compared to the Pikachu clones, the regional birds/dogs, etc
...what are the chansey clones besides audino?
Well I was gonna say indeedee, but that feels more like an Audino clone, making it a clone of a clone
Which I believe also answers my question
Nurse helpers.
I think you just list the nurse helpers, yea
and idk about the anime but in the game indeedee hangs out with the moves relearner reminder etc man
Regardless, I like them
not nurses
There's a nurse joy in the anime with a male and female indeedee
I honestly don't remember the anime it's so forgerable
ah
but yea, I'd not call either indeedee or comfee the chansey clones
just nurse mons
I don't hate Ash, but I think Journeys should be his last shot at the anime
or pokemon center mons
I'd love a Pokémon anime with a higher budget, some of the shorts in recent years are absolutely gorgeous
I don't like Ash but I know that he has like TOTAL fans so he probably won't lieve
I like Goh much more as a protag, at least at the start of the anime which are the only journeys episodes I watched
familiar japanese voice kinda sells him to me too but I like that he has at least some personality
I don't like Ash like 80% of the time, but there's a 20% where he has some sort of personality that I quite enjoy.
It's just that like
He's been around so long, so he can't develop, and he has no actual flaws
Other than like "wuh oh I didn't do so good!!"
Where's the drama in that?
eh, I just find him very very blank and he has too much plot armor
I want Ash to kill a man in self defense, and deal with the traumatic repurcussions.
like, in the recent episode ||he connected with mega Lucario like he did with Greninja back in gen 6 and defeated Raihan, the most powerful Galar gym leader that's considered being stronger than some champions||
just cuz yay power of friendship and stuff
and it took him 1 episode
that's something I don't enjoy
To be fair, from what little I've seen of Journeys he seems to be more accurately powerful to the MANY years he's been training between
Which is kinda funny, but in more serious terms does raise the issue that some people hate that he loses, others hate that he's so powerful sometimes
yea, I mean, he really has his true fans
and true haters
I just watch the episodes with characters from the game to check them being voiced and animated 
I'd just like an anime with more stakes, even if it can't be replicated forever like the current anime can and has been.
but I didn't watch that recent episode even tho it has one of my fav Galarian characters, it was too cringe for me to watch him loosing to Ash
unironically, a Pokémon legends anime really interests me. But we aren't gonna get more than references or shorts
these web series shorts are ALL amazing
damn I love them so much
both Generations, Twilight Wings and that new Hisuian one
God I can't even remember which one it was, origins? One of those? But the one with Green and the Let's Go protagonists
LOVED that animation style
oh and these shorts for Pokemon TV, they're fun too
nah it's one of the recent ones too
I xan't remember the name but I love this one too
origins is about red/blue/green plot
3 episodes 30 mins each iirc
Yeah
Evolutions, that's how the series called
have you watched Generations and Twilight Wings tho?
you'll probably really like them, highly recommend both series
I'll check them out
I just really love the animation in the shorts, and I know Journeys is generally doing better with animation but like
I would rather have a series which cannot be pumped out for decades than a series which just constantly goes up and down in quality, which is constantly geared towards children who are watching for the first time
And there are so many cool concepts in the Pokémon universe which can't be explored by the anime as is unless it's just a boring one-off
When's the last time Pokémon rangers were properly a thing?
Hell, even a mystery dungeon anime could be pretty cool (though it wouldn't be my first choice)
Or, as unoriginal as the concept has gotten, Pokémon from the villain's perspective. Of course they'd never be brave enough to have someone who was the bad guy all the way through, but even just a vigilante would be a cool concept.
You could even set it up as a traditional "party of heroes" anime where each member of the team represents a class of trainer we've come to know and love from the games
Watch trainers who actually progress
A ratata would be a bit on the nose, but a youngster with a lilipup, or a poocheyana which becomes an absolute menace as the series goes on
Or an underestimated and pissed off bug catcher who wants to show just how scary their type choice can be
Maybe a dragon trainer who starts off confident but then really falls behind because guys I swear they'll evolve soon trust me
yea that'd be neat
water fighting, hydration
it totally lost it's thirst, I see
and that's the mon that can learn Solar Beam TM 
It said I will make you all thirsty instead
if my alolan Diglett wouldn't die, it'd turn from Dragon into Ground Ghost
that's an interesting type swap possibility
Ohhhh that is interesting
pure fighting iirc
Fighting fish
5th or 6th pure dark in my collection 
Evil with wings
obvious oblivion wing user
Yes perfect
Icy snake
female aetherian randomized as male aetherian
Hau had Roggenrola, it died, and he sent out Boldore
unfortunately, one fire move, and Furfrou died 
and that's with Assault Vest against a special move
buuut there's a megamart encounter I believe
or not
I totally forgor what it's about
ah nope it's all for TM
gunk shot is a fun move to have tho
I got a cool TM from that too, but the side quest is pretty dumb since you have to pick up each trash piece and bring them back individually and you can’t leave the area until you do it all
yep
also, no idea what I should change Furfrou for, and right now I'm stuck at Aether so no new encounters are comming yet, so I grabbed my dragon Pheromosa for now
I have pure grass Octillery but it's not like I even need grass in my team that much
also very neat steel grass Emboar with fluffy but I still don't want a third starter
at that point I can make a full team of starters
3 of which are shiny
I really dont like the whole poke-ride system. Gameplay-wise, it's better than HMs, but I hate the idea of having Pokemon at my disposal that aren't really mine and I can't use in battle. I wish it would just let you ride your own pokemon instead.
It would've been cool that, for the region based in hawaii, you could get an actual surf board
what a glorious sight 
yeah, you owning a charizard right from the start completely destroys the emersion
There's not much HM stuff in that region to begin with. With a little retooling they probably could've removed almost all of it
I kinda get that. Most of the time the excuse works that they're like a public service, and not actually your Pokémon, but the idea that they wouldn't at least help a child who's like, fighting for their life in a villain's den is weird
Douchebag Uber Machamp
"oh you're in danger? Well I can carry you but I can't hit anyone it's in my contract"
All these problems would be solved if we had a protagonist that was Forklift Certified
Give us a retextured Master Cycle that can drive on water and up cliffs
Just make the main character god, problems solved
Thought of how to fix Ride Pokemon. Step 1: Bring back HMs (but they can be deleted like any other move.) Step 2: If a Pokemon can learn that HM (It doesn’t have to actually learn it), and you unlocked the ability to use it out of battle, you can register it as a ride pokemon, whether it’s in your PC or party. (One registered per HM) Step 3: It basically works exactly like Sun/Moon ride pokemon at this point, except they’re pokemon you caught.
I liked the way Unbound did it where, as long as a pokemon can learn the HM, you can use it without actually teaching it to them
Yeah this way you wouldnt even need to waste a party slot though
I suppose, though 90% of the time your party will have pokemon that can learn them all anyway
This way you could also do it for less common moves too. Like Odor Sleuth. That would be the Herdier equivalent
I'm sure there could be a way to combine those ideas though, like as long as the pokemon can use the HM/TM you can use it, even if it's in the PC with the register idea. It saves having to constantly learn/unlearn useless moves if you're using pokemon in your party
That was the idea, yeah
Oh, I think I misread, I thought it was about keeping HM slaves in the PC box, my mistake
It's sad that Gamefreak probably wouldn't ever consider this idea due to having to model trainers riding on more than one pokemon
Though I also wonder how some of these animations would actually look for smaller pokemon
Like, if you used Surf with a Clamperl I wonder how that would look
tbh I would be fine if they just used a generic model like in the old games
it's less weird than using a Pokemon you dont even have
and the ride pokemon dont even get registered as seen in the pokedex
I think they should double-down and show the trainer being carried by their pidgey across the country
It's not like it's unimmersive - in-universe that is what your smaller pokemon are actually doing 
What if you don't want to use mons that are ridable and you can't surf basically?
I think a better solution is to be able to register mons not from your team, like you catch Lapras, register it as ridable and never put it in your team
Or you can use your team members if they're able to be ridable
Or else it'd be even worse than HMs, with HMs you can at least have Zigzagoon for everything instead of one flying mon, one swimming mon, one strong mon, etc
I wanna play with a team of Catterpies! 
Let's Go was perfect in that sence, you could use mons for riding but you also had an alternative
You just have to catch one. You don't have to use it. I think encouraging the player to catch certain pokemon is a reasonable ask in a game about catching pokemon
wait that's what you were suggesting. But that's also what I was suggesting
also you could register the same mon for multiple HMs if you wanted
Nah
You wanna know what they should actually do?
Ride trainers.
Strength? Get a piggyback from a martial artist
Rock climb? Hide in the backpack of a hiker
Surf? Well we still don't know where she keeps her pokeballs but use that swimmer to your heart's content
In fact
Surf can just be David Hasselhoff
that's not very E rated
you're acting like anything on the internet is E-rated
if you search hard enough
everything becomes tainted
They should make the pinchurin rideable
Dugtrio is rideable if you're very careful
Joltik steed
he is smol but mighty
He shall take them to victory
Gladion had to kill another one of mine right before the elite 4
Now let's see what Lunala is
Duck
Nice, leftovers
And then I find this to catch in Mt. Lanakila
Dammit, I already have a shiny Azumarill on my team
Moon duck failed you
Looks like I need a moon stone
Oop
I'll get back to my aether paradise adventure tomorrow
Seems alright
I need to grind again, I have 2 mons lvl 32 each
While the rest of my team is around lvl 50-53
And I'm about to battle whatever is instead Lusamine fusion in USUM
Necrozma lol
And, well, Lusamine before that
Yeah
Lusamine doesn't get absorbed by Nihilego in USUM
Also in SM that's when you get to the altar and evolve Nebby
Oh right, I can catch Necrozma here
Dang
lmfao
Sus
This Ponyta used soak to give me water type then used a fire move on me
Soak turns you into a pure water type instead of just giving you an extra type like Forest's Curse or Trick-Or-Treat does
Or I'm just bad at English and don't know that "give" can also mean "turn" idk 
I think I remember being able to buy heart scales at some shop, so I'll be using the move reminder to give my Pokemon some actually good moves
Too bad Kyurem can only learn special dragon moves
Would spacial rend be better than core enforcer? They have the same power, one just has a high crit ratio and the other negates abilites if Kyurem moves second
If abilities are randomised, 100% spacial rend
Even if you find out the opposing Pokémon has a good ability, you'd have to move last, which isn't guaranteed
Also he has 121 speed
I wish I has a toxic orb since he has poison heal, but I can only get one once beating the game from the battle tree or after beating Rainbow Rocket somewhere
You might get it randomly
Unlikely, I'm at the elite 4
ok next step, make color palettes coherent with any type 
Ohoo, you made quite a bit of progress
Outlines are untouched
That was the biggest problem on the other nds color randomizer
Aegide doing good work out here
Indeed
Those sprites are assaulting my eyes
@indigo tusk
Good thing I already had to get high friendship to evolve Chansey, so I'll just have to level up to evolve Buneary

I like Linoone at least
And I have pure power, which is the same as huge power
And she can learn 2 legendary moves
Yep, heart scales for only 100
I want to add oblivion wing, but I'm not sure what move to replace
leech life
Also it’s too bad Azumarill will have to stick with a physical water attack since the only special move it can learn is too weak, but at least crabhammer has a high crit ratio
she stole nebby and forces it to fight
it knows Prismatic Laser
finally pony island
and new encounters
and gift aerodactyl and soon gift pikachu
daaamn that's a really nice collection of TMs
oh and there's a fishing spot right in the village, I forgor
it evolves into pure Grass
Team Rainbow Rocket is in your play plaza
my gift Pikachu, and it knows Surf lmfao
I'll evolve it real quick to check the type
and it's...
...my second (almost third) pure Grass
this was in the berries
it's pure grass too btw, but not my encounter
[Urmumium update]
So i've been doing various small changes and sending individual files with those changes to people playing the game.
At some point i realized the changes became quite more than i could handle to keep doing that.
So i figured i'd just upgrade version 8.3 to version 8.4 because it sounds like the right thing to do.
Urmumium v8.4 Patch Notes
=======================================================================
Encounters QoL: You will only encounter pokemon that you haven't caught in an area, until everything there is caught.
Archiless & Mega Archiless stats rework.
Volchik is now in the casino.
Maria, Davern, Cali toning down and a pokemon change in Tiko's team (last one is experimental, curious as to how it performs).
Maria gives Secret Power instead of Hidden Power.
Davern gives Rock Tomb instead of Brick Break.
Beat Up error fix.
[MKXP only] Fullscreen error fix. You can save your game in fullscreen without everything getting fucked. Hooray...
[MKXP only] Save File location is back to its original place ( C:\Users\[your user name]\Saved Games\Pokemon Urmumium ). Make sure to transfer your save files there.```
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/0sn6ffv9ijo5w/Urmumium_v8.4
just found another ability capsule, neat
one more starter encounter
gonna evolve it to see the final type but probably won't add it to the team idk
lmao mudkip that's not your mega stone
she wants to be pretty too
mudkip on a dress 
shiny gourgeist is pretty
yea I really like it
i've never seen it before
one more lvl to check the final evo
it's fairy now, even closer to it's dream of being gardevoir
lmao imagine final evo being psychic/fairy
hahahaha
well, almost
it's a shiny
but I already had a shiny encounter here
found shiny stone, gonna evolve Roselia now
that's interesting
if it can learn my Techno Blast TM, it'll know a 120 bp fairy move
nope, unfortunately
Ideas for the inevitable black and white revisit:
Something, anything to upgrade the starters. Megas would be the obvious one, but I'm actually thinking battle bond because with battle bond, Serperior will be 100% locked out of using contrary with it, plus the battle bond system is cool and so badly underused
Hugh returns, and his starter now has battle bond. Frankly, as cringy as some of his dialogue is, he deserves battle bond more than Ash ever did. He raised his starter from an egg, what did Ash do? Fuck around with a frog for a while? BS.
(The nature of Hugh's return will be still working with the old sect of team Plasma trying to return, re-home and rehabilitate Pokémon)
This is an obvious one, but the original dragon. It's gonna have to be mega Rayquaza levels of power, and frankly I'd like it to have some way to utilise fire, electricity AND ice without being dragon/ice again. I've seen fan versions which are dragon/fairy, assumedly an ability could be used to cover the other types and yes this would be OP but it's gonna be OP no matter what who really cares
I know I said battle bond starters but I do also want mega evolution because outside of straight buffs or another Evo, a lot of really badass BW Pokémon are hindered by absolutely dogshit stats
Mega Druddigon would of course be my first choice because I love it but it is NOT viable really ever
I'd catch it if I didn't have shiny Quilava already 
this thing holds Electric Gem haha
Yeah, after beating the game
Here's my team before fighting the elite 4
First one down
Again with the opponent having supereffective moves that make no sense for it to have, earth power
And Klefki had counter
It was pretty intense, but the second member is defeated
Again with the opponent having supereffective moves that make no sense for it to have, blizzard
Third member down, I forgot to screenshot that she was a police officer, but you can see it in the death screenshot above
Finally get to use poison heal since a Floatzel used poison jab and poisoned me
Godammit
Fuck
I lose
Well, I'm done with this then, that was the worst nuzlocke I've ever had, constantly getting hit by moves that got my Pokemon below half health so I couldn't switch into anything and almost every Pokemon having supereffective moves against my Pokemon, plus my Pokemon had terrible moves for the longest time
And here's all the deaths (including my party of course)
@maiden pivot I hope you have better luck
Oh damn that's unfortunate
Good luck next time we hope for no skill issue
Maybe I'll do Moemon FireRed next, since I've never played FRLG but I want to change things up a bit, so anime girls instead of Pokemon sounds silly enough
Nty
Those certainly are 3 random letters next to each other that don't spell any real word
Im like 99% sure moemon is just frlg with only new “sprites”
Yes, I know
Though they also have a version where they add mega evolution, but I wouldn't play that
Okay but the more I look at BW/BW2 NPC teams
They're awful.
Love the generation, but it's easy to forget how many Pokémon came from it which are just awful in use even if they have great designs
In BW2, Hugh has 4 Pokémon which, even in Sun/Moon, the generation known for having EVERYTHING at your disposal to make Pokémon better are PU
I haven't checked their position in BW but honestly there's no chance it's better
Bouffalant, Unfezant, Eelektross
Actually I should say 3 guaranteed
Because one of his Pokémon is the respective elemental monkey
But that's only worth anything if he gets simisage
Frankly his best Pokémon is Flygon, the only one NOT from his generation
And HE'S YOUR RIVAL
I never really cared for hugh in general, to me he's one of the most forgettable rivals
And yeah, his team wasn't that great for BW standards either
I like him well enough, it's fun to name him Hughjass
Admittedly he isn't the most memorable but I liked his interactions with Team Plasma
Though tbh I just like the old/new team Plasma plot in general
Team Plasma stuff in general is great
It's like what if Peta was less evil
I don't think GameFreak knows or cares about tiers though
I know, and I don't think tiers are always the best for judging Pokémon
But the reason I bring UP their tiers is that they are literally the worst you could get
The point is that, despite good designs or even cool ideas (like Eelektross having no weaknesses) the Pokémon are bad in battle, even in a non-competitive sense
Yeah, GameFreak also isn't good at judging that
Considering there are many legendary Pokemon that just completely suck, like the golems
And Articuno, though that's mainly because ice types just suck
I do wanna add to the subject of Hugh that personally I don't think Cheren and Bianca were all that better in BW but they had two major points in their favour. The biggest point is that they returned, which fleshed out their characters more than almost any other rival and the other benefit they get is that they're a pair. It's harder to forget two people in comparison to one, even if those people individually aren't all that interesting
I mostly like Hugh cuz of manga
I like lots of characters I don't really care about in the games cuz of manga lmao
Manaphy and Phione come to mind. Goes to show how bad they are given that they're forgettable despite all the unique game stuff attached to them
Gen 4 had billions of legendaries too
The manga of gen 4 tried to cram them all in, and it was pretty awkward there too
Though they left Arceus for the HGSS chapters
Thinking on legendaries, it goes to show how weird Gen 5 Pokémon are, because yes there are many cool ones which are just pathetic but then it introduces Pokémon like Landorus, destroyer of worlds
It's like they chose stats and abilities by throwing darts at a board while blindfolded
The Pokémon manga looks pretty cool but it seems daunting to get into
For some reason I'm fine with Pokémon controlling space and time but the implication that there's at least one who controls love/breeding disturbs me
Enamorus knows when your parents conceived you because she orchestrated it
Arceus probably has your entire existence mapped out on some post-its in his living room
By transitive property, enamorus fucked your mom
It's true.
Yeah but it also seems to only barely interact with things by throwing someone else at it because it can't fix its own problems. It takes a lot of work to see Arceus face to face.
Enamorus, however, would come up to me and tell me every detail of my conception because I accidentally dropped my Mars Bar wrapper
And then break my knees for good measure
You're right, that is canon
OH MY GOD
IT'S LITERALLY THE TURTLE FROM AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL
IT'S NOT JUST THE ANIMAL ITSELF THEY'RE BOTH PSYCHOTIC TOO
Apparently it appears in its Therian form to deal out punishment to anyone who disrespects any form of life
Which, if taken literally, puts just about everyone at risk
I step on bugs accidentally all the time. I'm always squishing plants. I produce carbon dioxide
I don't think Enamorus is going around squashing every microorganism for eating other microorganisms
Y'know so long as they have the whole Transporting Hisuian Pokémon Forward thing, I wouldn't actually mind if Enamorus was currently gone in canon? Maybe not dead in a traditional sense, but dead in the some Master Oogway style where it's just fucking not there at the moment, and it could be brought forward canonically through a wormhole at some point
Because it would be a very easy explanation to it not being around but I think it also adds a bit more depth to the Forces of Nature if the one of them that essentially represents good, clean, healthy life is no longer with them
The forces of nature are such a cool concept and I'd like them to have a chance to shine outside of "go catch em!! Do it!!"
I'd like that. They don't have the balls though, the parallel dimensions stuff has been acting as a continuity crutch for so long now
Honestly my ideal scenario for it would be alongside my idea for a Unova revisit where it's basically a dystopia
At some point Ingo would return, and that also gives an opportunity for Enamorus to be sent into the future, being returned to the other Forces
And immediately start being a fucking menace because of what Team Plasma has done to Unova's life
It's all an extremely out-there idea but I just want more info on the "Ghetsis wins" universe because frankly that's horrifying
Honestly looking at Enamorus' Bulbapedia makes me realise that Pokémon's 3D artists need to start taking more notes from the official 2D artists because like...
I'd go so far as to say this looks good. Not perfect, but she at least somewhat achieves the humanoid appearance that's intended
I've said before a few times but I like Enamorus' design a lot
I agree there, but as far as this design goes I think this art does it way more justice than the 3D model
Yeah true
I do appreciate that they didn't make it's Therian form pretty but I don't like that their attempt to make the Incarnate form stereotypically feminine makes its 3D model so uncanny
Overall Enamorus in general has grown on me because I've grown quite attached to the Forces of Nature recently but I think they all have some design flaws
I would've liked if the others didn't look like palette swaps of each other
They are twins thought
Thunderus and Tornadus get a pass since Raijin and Fujin look like each other in mythology too, Landerous could've been a little different
Yeah I guess
It would have been cool to see different body types and frankly would have made Enamorus less jarring too. I mean there are ways to group up legendaries without having almost the exact same silhouette
This idea I definitely like, especially with Enamorus now serving as Landorus' counterpart in the quartet
I don't necessarily think Landorus should be less muscular because I like the Intimidating But Gentle thing it has going on, but as one of the leaders of the group, it feels weird that it looks so similar
It would be like if Regigigas was just as short as the others
Off the top of my head I can't recall what Landorus' incarnate is based off, I know Raijin, Fujin and Ugajin for the other 3. I'd have to look it up
Bulbapedia says Inari Ōkami
I also like the little tidbit in one of the dex entries for PLA, I forget which one specifically mentions it but it suggests the Incarnate formes are guises, the Therian ones are the true ones and I imagine the Incarnates probably look humanoid because that's how they choose humanity to see them, just like how deities work in pretty much any mythology including Kamis and Yokai
The Therian forms being the true forms makes a lot of sense, especially as they're revealed through a mirror
Tbh
Would have preferred a pseudo Legendary in smash over Greninja
Especially if it was like
Metagross
Something more unique than another humanoid
But if it had to be a gen 6 Pokémon then like Goodra could have been cool
I don't dislike Incineroar's inclusion though
Tbh even as someone who didn't play Smash much, Incineroar being there made me like it a lot more
He’s much better in Smash since it shows his personality
Took the words right out my mouth
I think there are a few pretty cool Pokémon which are hindered by not having much character in mainline games
They'll have pokedex entries being like "Bungos are ruthless tyrants, they will mock their enemies with a dance before tearing into them with their razor sharp claws" and the Pokémon in question's battle animation will be 🧍♂️
Beedrill is literally just a monster that sometimes makes an appearance as a main threat or a side gag, I don’t think I’ve seen an actual trainer use one in the show! lmao
Beedrill is a good example actually
It's a giant fucking murder bee
Personally I think it's animation should be twitchy and a bit irratic, like it's about to snap and stab the shit out of you
But instead they went with "hover in place with arms vaguely spread apart"
Yeah imagine if it was flirting between 3-4 positions, only hovering in place for a little while.
That’d be cool. lol
Like a FNAF title screen
The upside to the lack of personality to the Pokemon, is that you can name them ridiculous things

"Go @$$hat!"
This got me thinking about different nature Pokémon having slightly different animations which reminded me that I fucking hate natures
I know crapping all over the stat system makes someone sound like a noob but let's be real here
This is overcomplicated rock paper scissors
Nature's aren't a skill based component
They're random luck which prevents the Pokémon you run through your journey with from being perfect
Does it sound ridiculous to say people bond with their Pokémon? Yes. Does that make it less true? Fuck no
So why would you add a component where most of the time people are gonna have to swap out their playthrough Pokémon if they want good stats
And no, I wouldn't remove the nature system. I'd simply prevent it from effecting stats full stop
"but isn't that just an aesthetic thing at that point?" YUP
Because frankly that's FINE
It's a cute monster game I shouldn't have to worry how them being naughty or nice will actively effect how hard they can punch
But I'd be okay with checking their stats and being like "aw this one's timid, that's a nice tid-bit of personality'
And in the case of fan games, if you don't add a nature changer you're just a god damn sadist
Especially Insurgence
I know people here have their own issues with Insurgence MY ONLY ONE
Is that their nature change system is a 1 in 300 random chance
That can only be done every 20(?) Minutes
When ALL OTHER PARTS OF STAT BUILDING IS SO WELL STREAMLINED
I mean
That and the fact that some deltas are worse or just worthless
Id like to play more pokemon fan games but i kinda find them insufferable without an exp all mechanic off the back
A different pokemon fusion fangame got me like 😴 since there was no exp shares or exp all
I swept the whole game with my starter and everything else at level 5
I don’t need exp share to win, i beat the og pokemon blue.
I just don’t like spending an hour grinding one pokemon
Y'know what, I'm gonna say it, because I see shit all the time saying Samurott doesn't fit it's Evo line well y'know what
We see combo animals all the time in Pokémon.
It's a bit of a weird turn, but it still works. At least it keeps its general theme going.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT COMMUNITY-LOVED WATER STARTER DOESN'T STAY CONSISTENT
GRENINJA
WHY WOULD YOU CREATE A WHOLE WEAPON FOR THE TWO PREVOS
before you spilling out your random rambling i wanted to ask how the fuck do you have the motivation to write, i need it for classes
Well I use a combination of boredom and bitchlessness but I know people that just use redbull
did you know that every pokemon trainer is faster than every pokemon ever in any scenario?
Except Haxorus
even haxorus
Haxorus is always moving an inch faster than the speed you are escaping it
they can throw a ball at the opposing pokemon before they get a chance to do anything
even max speed 6 speed boost choice scarf regeleki using max priority move with prankster
Haxorus only gets hit by the pokeball because it chooses to
It's a neutral being, not a malevolent one
you keep making it look like haxorus is malding because he got caught because of a skill issue
If it wanted you dead by now you would be so, look at it
It has two axe blades on its face
I can guarantee you have less than two axe blades on your face
I'd say one being generous
i had araiorus the axe leg pokemon
legs so thick you can use them as pillows
and guillotines
ariaorus is the best pokemon
you get to sleep in thick thighs then get the french king treatment
everyone else is jealous
Ariaorus,
Deez nuts
Another water starter who I'd argue has maybe not a LESS consistent final Evo than Samurott, but I'd argue worse
Blastoise.
What HAPPENED to Wartortle?
It looks like it's turning into a flying type
And frankly part of me thinks that might have been cooler
now i get the bitchlessness part
Like that one skylander
I'm sorry, it can't be taught
It comes naturally to me
5 days in a month every month you start to ramble like this
Could also be undiagnosed autism
In fact I'd probably put that to the top of the list
But the point is there are other factors
I usually find someone to share my writing with. Feedback is the best way to keep myself motivated, but it helps that I want to become a writer so my livelihood is on the line. lol
in pla you can dodge better than any pokemon in existance
actually wartortle was Initially part of a separate line is why
was either lava or lockstinn who covered it
pretty sure it was that and not blastoise separate
oh, a trainer has Braviary, and I have Rufflet
I can check what type it'll be if I evolve it
@short rain with Slow Start
gonna evolve it later, I already had Skuntank in one of my old teams and I drew it in type swap
november 2018
It's actually Kiwi who is really old so she got the slow start ability

that's a neat type to have
I probably should try to evolve rufflet
welcome to the team mr sus
my whole team is around lvl 54
and this thing evolves at lvl 54
that'll be a pain but I wanna try
also, gonna check if any sticker mons are shiny, and if not, I won't do anything with them, even take a held item if they have one
too bad, not shiny
too bad again
damn, these sticker mons are so good, and I got something lame as my first one
all right, I found 2 master balls so far, I think that's enough for now
I know where to find them if I need more
neat
ok this is legitly the best shiny encounter I could have
if it has a good typing, I'll take it instead of Rufflet
shame, I already have pure Electric in my team
welp, if Hawlucha ever dies, I have a perfect replacement
ability and nature are good too, and she has the same stab as my hawlucha
I wonder why you think this is the best encounter you could have gotten
Definitely not because it has something to do with it being that specific Pokémon n
if I change Imposter for something else, I could save it
IMPOSTER
noooooooooooo

turning from bug into ghost steel
I wonder what ability it has
eh, not bad and not good
maybe even more bad than good cuz I won't use it's spatk
I still have 2 ability capsules
shiny that I can't catch
Solosus
the power of the ghost bug
this had better be the same shedinja
The King~
Nah I couldnt carry him over every generation, but I like to believe that with each generation it was his sons all living up to their fathers legacy
I'm so sad Sableye never got in. 
Poor Gemboye
bug mono of Pokemon Infinity done
Nice
A
Watmel Berry Azumarill huh
title game?
the game's name is pokémon essentials v20 
Honestly like most Pokemon roms or fan games, I haven't really tried finishing them through.
Idk if it's just lack of motivation
I think a cool nuzlocke challenge is randomize your game, then form the shittiest team you can possible, then get another person to do the same and they both share their files to eachother to try and get through the game with the team.
Idk if that's already a thing though
Is Bulbapedia just fucking broken right now?
I keep getting the same error message
Sometimes it works, so it's not my internet
Error 503 Backend Fetch failed
Sounds like a Simpsons Hit and Run mission
Yeah it's been like that for me too for a while now, and for a few weeks now the site feels like it's had trouble loading images too
Sucks ass because I've been on it a whole lot recently, it's the only thing I've seen with consistently reliable info on actual game lore
The fandom wiki isn't awful but it seems like it's patched up with some made up shit here and there
It's fine for me
the wild mil
their twitter said they're working on those issues
its making me unable to do stuff in my fan game cause i need maps to rip stuff from
Holy shit new pokemon unite mode??
You get to catch NPC Pokémon and swap between playing them and your main Pokémon
So you can play as like even bosses and stuff like Regigigas without them having to be added as playable characters
But the issue there is that probably means any playable NPC won't become an actual character 🙃
Imagine being able to catch entire players and have them play for you until they die and you wouldn’t have to play it would be so fun tbh
No proper Ludicolo
I think I'm gonna count each separate ultra wormhole world as an encounter area but I'll explore them if I won't have any good choises left
new encounter, modest nature is neat
Bug type burmy will turn into something wormadam
Also can you change it's form?
And if you can will it have different types and abilities?
It should since it did for Furfrou
I'm pretty sure I can change Burmy forms and they'll all be different but I'm not sure if I can change Wormadam forms, and that's what matters after all
even if I change between Burmys, I won't know what they'll evolve into 
I still have pure water type Kingler in my boxes 
But Wormadam is terrible in general, so I don’t see why you would use it
I used Wormadam in Legends Arceus and it was great 
But I probably won't use it cuz I'm already at the elite 4 and my team is pretty much complete
Unless it all dies
Yea it's steel bug
What emulator are you using for this btw
Citra
Aw ):
Gonna finish a part of my current work real quick and start beating Elite 4
gonna test my ability capsules on them first
good thing that you can see the future ability before using it
Braviary: from Solar Power to Friend Guard (both useless but Friend Guard won't cut my HP if it's sunny)
Ferrothorn: from Insomnia to Grass Pelt (I don't have Grassy Terrain so I'll leave it as it is)
Empoleon: from Huge Power to Anticipation (no thanks)
Golisopod: from Weak Armor to Zen Mode (it'll be useless but at least won't cut my Defence, and I don't need Speed on Golisopod that much anyway)
Incineroar: from Levitate to Flash Fire (trading Ground immunity for Fire immunity on Fire/Psychic mon? nope)
Hawlucha: from Liquid Ooze to Static (will probably take Static)
but I only have two capsules so I'm gonna remove the risk of loosing more HP on Braviary and Golisopod over having Static instead of Liquid Ooze
aaand here's the team before Elite 4
unfortunately they can't have more STABs even after Move Reminder
it doesn't feel like 50% STAB at all lmao
F
