The reason we don't deposit something in the Daycare is simple: It's got a fucking evil ledge similar to Ledge 2 and an obnoxiously long walk to the start of said ledge.
 
Sacrilegious as it is to even think this...

I'm starting to think releasing Bird Jesus might actually be good for the team. He's like a black hole sucking up all the XP, and normal attacks alone are far from enough to get us through the run, as this tower is demonstrating.

I feel like even that could possibly be worth it considering how much of a benefit a Pokemon that leveled would be to us. But the other poster pointed out the cost which I think makes more sense, I forgot about the cost of daycare.
 
Since we've released it, the False Prophet has sent its dark agents to impede us in its stead.

I shudder to think of us having to one day fight Agatha.
Here's hoping we manage to make Red bump into her so hard that we actually knock her unconscious. Please make it happen, oh mighty Helix!
 
I was more referring to the fact how the NPCs battle make it seem like they are also being told what to do by 90,000 people. Absolutely no logic just random moves.

I remember reading something about how Gen I AI worked. IIRC it was basically "Use moves randomly unless you have something super effective, then nearly always use that"
 
Helix dammit, this is hilarious.

NPC trainers have random AI unfortunately. Same with wild Pokemon. Gym leaders, Giovanni, and Elite 4 have a preferential AI based on type effectiveness. This is where one of the most infamous AI exploits in RBY comes from; if you have a Poison type against Lance's Dragonite, it will only use Agility because Agility is a Psychic type move and Psychic is supereffective against Poison, even though Agility doesn't do anything.
This is the first time I've heard this. Every day I learn something new about these games, lol

I think that only applied to trainers that have certain music playing. IIRC any trainer with Gym Leader music would have "smart" AI which did the super effective thing you're talking about, but any other battle it's completely random.

I know this because Werster talked about a strat that was only possible (in Yellow I think it was) because the final battle with Blue had unique music that was not considered smart AI.

Pidgeot thankfully won't be limited to Normal attacks at the end of the game. Why? Because of Fly and Sky Attack. Sky Attack is found on Victory Road and is WAY more powerful than any of Pidgeot's other options, even with the charge. Fly is a move we can get earlier but are scared to teach Pidgeot thanks to Pallet Town Warp... But once we reach Indigo Plateau, there is literally no reason to not teach Pidgeot Fly. Hell, once we reach Victory Road, there's no reason to not teach it Fly. We're going to be constantly inside and unable to use it.

On a related note, I REALLY wish Hyper Beam wasn't stuck in the Game Corner's prize section. Would be so nice to just give Pidgeot a base 150 power move with STAB.
 
Holy shit I left when the battle with Haunter seemed to last forever but we're back again at the healing pad?!

Why are me making progress so fast? What is happening?!

DIGRAT, SAVE US
 
Has this been posted yet?

They forgot the part where after resurrecting Omanyte, it has no idea what RED is talking about.

The scientist then explains that Omanyte isn't the same one that died, but a clone made from DNA left in the fossil and Poliwrath DNA to fill in the gaps.

I'll hack Bill's PC by using Unix!
 
Okay, this is actually a good time to spam Sand Attack.

Hah, suiciding Bird Jesus. I like this strategy.

EDIT: DON'T SWITCH YAH NINCOMPOOPS! Okay, that time it worked.
 
Didn't Team Plasma actually do that?
Are those the guys from gen 3? No idea, haven't finished Emerald and don't remember anything about the plot.

I hope there is a remake for 3DS. And that the DS games are released on the eShop, though that will definitely not happen.

Plasma is Gen V. Pokémon liberation and all that.
RSE had Teams Aqua and Magma. Eco Terrorists that are bad at long term planning.
I'm hoping for sequels. May the new Professor, Wally as Champion, and Brendan as a bonus super boss like Red was.

No-jailbreak-required GBA emulator for iOS. In case anyone else has that classic Pokemon itch.

This is good, but if you jailbreak you can get one with support for using a Wii Remote (or even PS3/4 controllers) for on screen button haters.

This would be so much better than the remakes everyone is clamouring for.

Oh I see, thanks. I'd love to play all the gens I missed. But only the 3rd game on each, except for gen 5 where GF decided to do things differently. Sadly I won't find any cheap copies of Platinum, B/W and B/W 2 here, and importing them is not an option right now.
