Twitch Plays Pokemon Thread 3: Return of Red... Aussies win again!

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?

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.

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

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.
 
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.
 
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?
 
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.
 
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
 
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.
