Sceptile is a disgrace to its otherwise great line

Spoiler

much like Oshawott

O_0 but Oshawott is so funny how can you not like him?

 

[Busaiku]

Dewott and Samurott are clear disservices to the great Oshawott.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Dewott is amazing

 

[Stage On]

Dewott is amazing

Yes, I just wish he could duel wield in the game like he can in the anime

 

[SenorArdilla]

They could let him learn Double Hit or maybe even Dual Chop.

 

[PK Gaming]

Dewott is amazing

I thought Dewott was a fakemon when I first saw it

 

[UltimateIke]

Aggro, noooo! You killed Rocky!

If you catch another Rock-type, you have to name it Rocky II.

[789shadow]

Those are really good.

 

[zroid]

Chespin and Fennekin's first evos are okay. The rest are crap.

[Stage On]

What are you posting fakes for?

 

[Berordn]

Chespin and Fennekin's first evos are okay. The rest are crap.

They're hardly any different from Chespin and Fennekin.

 

[daripad]

I just want Froakie evolutions to be badass, just like charmander's line

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

I think I want Chespin to end up becoming the cool, scary guy.

 

[Boss Doggie]

There's only one badass charmander line and it's charmeleon

 

[Aggrotek]

Guys, I had to upload this while I was at work but here it is: Treecks & Geeks Episode 12.

Stuff happens! Someone dies!

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

There's only one badass charmander line and it's charmeleon

Hmm, I'd have to agree with that. Charmander is too cute, and Charizard is generic.

 

[Firestorm]

There's only one badass charmander line and it's charmeleon

"SAY THAT AGAIN I FUCKING DARE YOU"

 

[injurai]

"SAY THAT AGAIN I FUCKING DARE YOU"

Charmander is easily the best of that line.

 

[Boss Doggie]

"SAY THAT AGAIN I FUCKING DARE YOU"

Charmander is cute, not badass. When I saw that pic I thought "Awww wook at da wittle lizard holding a nerf gun awwww!"

 

[MikeMyers]

Anyone know where I can get a Lum Berry in Platinum?

 

[JoeM86]

Route 208 (Berry Master), Route 212, Resort Area

 

[Frost_Ace]

Charmander's voice in the anime still makes me daaaawwww~

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Finally, I got myself a chance to roll some Pokémon figures in the Toys 'R Us at the back of my hotel - might as well.

I got two Dragonite and one Pikachu. Now I wonder what to do with the extra Dragonite.

Spoiler

Pikachu is a word according to Microsoft, but Dragonite is not.

Also got some Angry Birds

Route 208 (Berry Master), Route 212, Resort Area

I cant find it in the Resort Area :/

Edit: Wait, the traded Magikarp has a Lum Berry! My main fish saved me!

Hey guys, someone on Twitter made me this layout:

But I don't think it is nearly personalized enough... or at all...

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Here's my New Type Speculation...copy-pasted from my post in the CoroCoro thread, made before we found it was Sylpheon in English...which actually fits my theory.

So, thinking about the "Nin" in Ninfia, and how it may come from "nymph", and thinking over the possibility of a new type. Today I had an idea for a "Fairy-type", an alternative idea for a Dark counterpart compared to Light. Dark Pokemon seem to be categorized as having tricky, vicious, or misunderstood natures, and aren't, except for rare cases like Spiritomb and Dark Pulse, actually associated with the Dark element. Thus, a Light/Dark dichotomy seems odd.

Fairy Pokemon, on the other hand, would be Pokemon that are mostly pure, friendly, and otherwise happy Pokemon contrasting the Dark-type. I was thinking that this could also help dilute the large amount of Normal Pokemon by taking some of the weirder ones that don't seem quite normal, and yet don't fit into any pre-existing elemental typing...

* Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable
* Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, and Wigglytuff
* Happiny, Chansey, and Blissey
* Togepi, Togetic, and Togekiss (Fairy/Flying)
* Dunsparce (because it's based off a mythical creature)
* Snubull and Granbull
* Whismur, Loudred, and Exploud
* Skitty and Delcatty
* Audino

I haven't fully thought out the Type Chart with Fairy Added, but I was thinking it'd mainly interact with the more "mystical" Types as opposed to the elemental ones...

* Fairy Pokemon are IMMUNE to Dark-types. Well, they're too pure to be affected by Dark Pokemon.
* Fairy Pokemon RESIST Psychic-types and Dragon-types. I thought being resistant to other "fantasy" types would be a cool little theme.
* Fairy Pokemon are WEAK to Bug-types, Poison-types, and Ghost-types. I just thought those types are kind of what little fairies would be afraid of, plus I wanted another type for Bug and Poison to be good against.

Fairy Type Moves would also tend to be helpful support moves, or ones that don't hurt the foe directly. There are quite a few Normal Moves I think could be recategorized too and, since most of them don't do actual damage, it wouldn't change them up too much. After You, Sing, and, for actually attacking, DoubleSlap, since it's the "signature" move of Clefairy and Jigglypuff sort of.

My idea for this came about in two ways...first of all, I believe that X/Y will incorporate more than just France, and will, due to the bigger 3DS cartridge, be based off multiple European regions, thus we may see a fairy-tale like forest...the scene with Xerneas looks like such a locale and, in fact, I could see Xerneas being part-Fairy, kind of like a Princess Mononoke Forest Guardian Spirit.

Second, Ninfia, who I think its name comes from "nymph". I was thinking it was a reference to the bug-type, given the butterfly motif and such, but then I thought a "nymph", or "fairy" type, would be pretty neat to see and a bit different than the stereotypical Light-type.

I'm starting to hype myself up that I might be onto something. :0

I enjoyed reading that a lot. You've hyped me up too. Look what you've done!!!

Charmeleon is too cool for school.

You say that but when it goes toe to toe with a Primeape your jaw will be on the floor about just how cool Charmander can be.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Made a trainer card because I'm bored. BW2 FC's at the top!

D'awww he's trying to look like a Gligar!

 

[zroid]

That's probably why I think they're okay

but they'd have to differentiate themselves more (without sucking) to move beyond "okay"

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

The other day I had an idea for Chespin's evolution...Grass/Bug.

His shell ends up looking like a giant, red-spiked caterpillar, while he grows into a powerful hedgehog-armadillo. So, like, when he curls up and rolls, the shell surrounds him so it looks like a giant bug curled up. I was even thinking the front spikes on Chespin's hood could have little eyes on them.

Two things.

1. Hedgehog should stay away from bugs.
2. 4x fire weakness, Do not want.

And a Stealth Rock weakness, and a 4x weakness to Flying.

Grass is really a poor defensive type that its combination type is rather limited

 

[MikeMyers]

Grass/Poison with Thick Fat.

Resists Water, Electric, Fighting, Grass
Weak to Psychic & Flying

Make it happen!

 

[Xux]

They should just nerf Stealth Rock rather than have to work around it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

But I don't want Chespin to be chubby

Eh, 25% loss isn't that big tbqh

 

[ffdgh]

It is if the pokemon took a beating earlier.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Which is why you should have a dedicated Rapid Spinner

 

[ffdgh]

But....starmie needs that spot for psychic/recover.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Anyone find Chespin looking a bit weird when it comes to the "hoodie" part?

 

[Refyref]

Nope.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

*wonders why Chespin is playing in snow*

 

[Chet Rippo]

Anyone find Chespin looking a bit weird when it comes to the "hoodie" part?

No, but I do find you weird.

 

[Professor Renegade]

Anyone find Chespin looking a bit weird when it comes to the "hoodie" part?

It's more like a cool hat.

 

[zroid]

that snow chespin art just hits all of those feels
