Stat boost>"powerful skills" most of the time. "Way earlier" is only 4 or 5 levels earlier.

There are a few Pokemon you should delay evolution for (Shroomish in RSE comes to mind again), but most of them you definitely want to evolve as soon as possible.

Why would you want to delay evolution for Shroomish in RSE?

 

[-Horizon-]

Oh thats gonna be fun.

At the end of this run it will be something like this

Of course we send him to Australia lol.

 

[Solid Samus]

Why would you want to delay evolution for Shroomish in RSE?

at level 40 Shroomish learns Spore which is basically Sleep Powder if Sleep Powder never ever missed and iirc it's the only Pokémon at that point in the series that could learn that move via level up. (edit - besides Paras/Parasect)
Shroomish's evolution, Breloom, can't even learn it. So if you want a Breloom w/Spore, one of its best moves, you have to deny evolution for a long ass time

 

[TheOGB]

First call home?

Democracy has become unusable now.

Idk, if we have to wait longer for a democracy to be instituted we'll be more prepared. That said, we're fucked when it comes to the PC b/c of the longer wait.

Earlier you evolve the better in most cases, as the stat improvement is much more viable then learning moves earlier.

Ah didn't know.

Paras and Parasect learn it, but they suck compared to Breloom. Breloom can use it with Focus Punch for a very nasty combo in gen 3.

 

[Shinypogs]

I missed it cause of roommates cat being sick, did we buy anything in the mart?

 

[Jigorath]

We're not even going to heal?

 

[Drkirby]

I don't see democracy ever being useful, the democracy/anarchy votes made up most of the input for red imo, so it will rarely get more then one or two commands done.

 

[Zabant]

The hour of hoothoots has arrived!

Don't forget Spinarak!

 

[Draconian]

Two Pokeballs I think.

Cant wait for Morty's gym. Gonna be sexy.

The Americans are playing, so no.

That girl is staging a one-person protest over that tree :lol

Hmmmmm.....Not too much.

Spoiler

Beat Falkner, beat Sprout Tower, wandered around aimlessly for the other 3 and a half hours.

 

[everyday math]

Togepi sucks.

Release it.

That girl is staging a one-person protest over that tree :lol

Marry her

 

[-Horizon-]

AJ is unsure if he should call someone for advice on talking to that girl.

 

[Toxi]

That girl is staging a one-person protest over that tree :lol

I don't understand why, technological innovations mean trees take only a hundredth of the time to cut down that they did before.

 

[Hyperactivity]

I don't understand why, technological innovations mean trees take only a hundredth of the time to cut down that they did before.

Unfortunately, watering them still takes a long ass time

Nah breh

Picnicker Liz on Route 32 or Gina on Route 34

CATCH THE SPIDER!!!

Thank god for not having to go into the menu to use HMs.

 

[Bedameister]

Thank god for not having to go into the menu to use HMs.

teaching those HMs first will be a problam anyways

 

[KHlover]

You mean hydro miss? Surf is better.

Of course it is. Dat sexy 15AP, too.

Surfer/Flamethrower >>>>>> Hydro Pump/Fire Storm

 

[Toxi]

We're never gonna catch an awesome Spinarak, are we?

 

[Hyperactivity]

Egg's gonna hatch soon

 

[entremet]

Of course it is. Dat sexy 15AP, too.

Surfer/Flamethrower >>>>>> Hydro Pump/Fire Storm

Yep. Same with ice beam versus blizzard and tbolt versus thunder. Unless if you're doing weather wars.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Is our best option at this point to get an HM on Toto then release the whole rest of the team to catch higher level pokemon? We won't have access to Surf for a long time though, will we?

 

[batfax]

I always thought it was annoying that even if you have a water type you can't use it on the tree. Toto could bless the rains down in Africa, but getting a tree to move is beyond him.

 

[-Horizon-]

Egg's gonna hatch soon

Let's take whatever hatches





And release it.

Spoiler

no togepi on the team plz

 

[Ultimadrago]

Cant wait for Morty's gym. Gonna be sexy.

Mwuhuhehe. Crawling on their hands and knees to Lord Dome's feet!

Togepi sucks.

Release it.

Togekiss doesn't exist yet. RIP

Togepi suxs. Release it.

 

[Toxi]

Togetic sucks so bad. It makes Noctowl look good.

 

[Jigorath]

Nobody wants Togepi. Especially if people try to compare it to Lord Helix.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Of course it is. Dat sexy 15AP, too.

Surfer/Flamethrower >>>>>> Hydro Pump/Fire Storm

Fire Blast
And no, that depends. Especially with rain and sun, if you want the equivalent of a nuke more powerful than Explosion, Fire Blast and Hydro Pump outclass the other moves.

Blizzard is much worse because hail is meh and 70% accuracy is getting into te "only use if desperately needed" range. Thunder is a little better because rain is better, but still

 

[Marjar]

I want Togepi. :V

 

[Hyperactivity]

Togekiss doesn't exist yet. RIP

Even if it did, we're talking a friendship evolution followed by a stone evolution

 

[everyday math]

I want Togepi. :V

No.

Are we by the unknown area/puzzles?

 

[Ultimadrago]

Even if it did, we're talking a friendship evolution followed by a stone evolution

True that, but I know TPP would be capable of (sloppily) organizing that if it were in the books and accepted as a "plan".

 

[Marjar]

Wait why are we in the Ruins of Alph.

Are they seriously going to try to solve the puzzle lol

 

[Hypnopompy]

Ruins of Alph

This should be painless

 

[watervengeance]

Fire Blast/Thunder/Blizzard are good if you don't expect your Pokemon to survive very long. The difference in damage can mean a win or lose.

For campaign play, the weaker equivalent is always better.

 

[Toxi]

Wait why are we in the Ruins of Alph.

Gotta reconstruct the Dome because... Wait why are we solving a puzzle that makes a Kabuto again?

 

[Hyperactivity]

I feel bad for not knowing (at this moment) what you're talking about

 

[Forceatowulf]

Hahahaha

Can't wait.

 

[greatgeek]

Given that AJ will ultimately have to defeat Red(whose party should be modded), it's clear that AJ is a servant of the Dome.

 

[-Horizon-]

Gotta reconstruct the Dome because... Wait why are we solving a puzzle that makes a Kabuto again?

We're either going to sacrifice Togepi on the Kabuto or Omanyte puzzle.
