Pokémon Community Thread 4: "Your Portal to What's Hip and Happening in Sinnoh!"

That's not fair though, seeing as Bonnie's better than the other two leads, and the rest of the show as well.

They should have gave her that

I feel that Bonnie and Clement both play off each other well. Especially since Clement has the reverse gag of Brock and Max where he tries to get with girls and Max pulls him away, while Bonnie tries to get Clement with girls and he has to pull her away. I just appreciate that.

Bonnie is well loved. Also incest jokes. And feels. Although I'd say she's as good as Ash, who is the best character in XY.

Also are these official?

Considering the Movie, it wouldn't surprise me it it were real. I have a good feeling for the movie this year actually. They're talking/the marketing more about the conflict rather than "OMG cool legendaries" like with the hoopa movie.

I'm sorry, I fucking hate Cilan. He's so pretentious.

Cilan was one of the many things that came together to make me dislike BW. His personality annoyed me, and his schtick annoyed me. Episodes that focused on him tended to have him being an "expert" of whatever, whether it be subways, fishing or judging Pokemon compatibility and they were some of the most annoying episodes x.x

Every male travel partner has a schtick, and Brock's was the simplest and easiest to throw in, get it over with and move on x.x Plus he always had an actual counter, like Misty or Croagunk. He did his thing, got dragged off or punched, and that was that.

Edit: I mean, yeah, he had an occasional episode that involved him chasing a girl only to fail in the end, but those tend to be more interesting to me than Cilan's stuff or Clemont's inventions going haywire x.x

So I might not be able to catch the Pokémon news at 14:00 tomorrow, ah well I can catch it later.

You chose Umbreon.

giphy.gif


the gif folder on my computer is huge

Ha ha thanks, I originally chose Umbreon when I first played Silver as I was interested about Dark type.

Fun fact; When I first played Silver I didn't know that Dark was immune to Psychic throughout the whole game till I fought Sabrina when I switched Umbreon into an oncoming Psychic and I had my heart in my mouth when I read the text "Foe Alakazam used psychic" as I was scared of psychic type but was surprised when the text said "Vee wasn't affected"

I was like Mwahahahahahahahahahahaahahah!!! >:D

Honestly though gen 2 did a bad job in introducing Steel and Dark type to the players, something that Gen 6 did much better with Fairy type.

That team is legit man. Sinnoh and kalos team is my favorite

My ranking of Ash's team;

-Sinnoh
-Kanto
-Unova
-Kalos=Hoenn
-Johto

Kalos under Unova?! Maddening. Oshawott is the goat tho him over greninja anyday

he doesn't like Kalos, a.k.a. the best anime season

Yeah come at me OS era fans! It is not the season with the terrible episode about Ash "not legit catching a mon" or "Ash gets conned by an Exeggutor"
 
I think there's a great single team to be made from Ash's Unova team, but it's choked by potentially cool but horrendously underdeveloped Pokemon like Palpitoad, and boring wastes of space like Unfezant.

Pikachu, Oshawott, Snivy, Krookodile, Leavanny and Scraggy, all properly developed, would have been a really fun regular team.

No pignite?

I'm thinking
Pikachu
Oshawott
Krookodile
Levanny
Pignite
Scraggy

huh, so Korrina and Alain are in the voice cast for the Goodra ep

also Oshawott didn't strike me as a good fighter

I'd rather have Palpitoad than Oshawott. Oshawott's moveset is so boring. I wish Palpitoad got to evolve into Seismitoad and become a huge tank-like fighter

I'd move Kalos above Unova and Kanto to first, but otherwise a solid ranking.

Kalos has good team synergy, but Hawlucha is the only standout individual pokemon he's had this region. When future leagues roll around and Ash interacts with his reserves, something tells me it's is the only one we'll see much of from this generation.

I'd do Sinnoh, Kalos, Hoenn, Unova, Kanto, Johto I think. I just don't find his Pokemon in Gen 1 and 2 to be that fun to watch fighting. Hoenn was the first time they gave him a team that reflected something close to what I'd use playing the games.

My only complaint about his Kalos team is no Grass type or 6th mon.
 
No pignite?

I'm thinking
Pikachu
Oshawott
Krookodile
Levanny
Pignite
Scraggy
Snivy was entertaining, and could have been more so had its rivalry with Emolga had more made of it. Pignite was as bland and rote a starter as we've ever had.
also Oshawott didn't strike me as a good fighter
He's not there for the purposes of being a good fighter, he's there because he's one of the most entertaining presences in the series.

I found him to be one of the most annoying/obnoxious presences in the series x.x And early on in XY it felt like they were going a similar direction with Chespin which drove me mad, luckily Chespin's not been as annoying lately.

Predictions for tomorrow

-We find out that you that one of the islands is covered in snow. Ensuring that snow route music and ice puzzles are in the game.

-It is revealed that the postgame will include episode 2 of Detective Pikachu alleviating all concerns about its future.

Book it.

Hopefully we see some new features tomorrow, maybe the confirmation of character customization. I hope they don't spoil too much

I just found some of my old Pokemon cards! The memories are flooding back. At the time, Glaceon was my favourite Pokemon, and I tried so hard to get Glaceon Lvl X. I forgot I managed to get both Shaymin forms.

True.

I suppose the better question is, "What new thing shown will get porn first?"

Overwatch X Pokemon when.

I mean, it's not porn, but:

------------------

Also I have an extra NA Darkrai code that I grabbed earlier in the month and was hanging onto as a backup for anyone who missed it, so if you need one it's first come first serve. All I ask in return is that you be 3DS friends with me so I can hopefully get another Friend Safari type.

Doing a limited resource Y nuzlocke out of boredom/hype for tomorrow's announcement and (w)oof, the double Furfrou trainers on Route 6 are no joke. Flinchhax everywhere and they wiped out my whole team. Now level grinding the remaining Pokemon from my box.

Yo when is this new Sun and Moon video dropping? Isn't it already June 2 in Japan? I've seen nothing about it on GAF all day!

Don't fail me now, Gen 7 hype train ;_;

Fucking Garchomp

I have plans for her mons now that I know what I'm up against but my goodness

I told ya.

In my most recent Platinum run, I had to go through exactly what you're going through now. My advice is to spend all of your money on revives and hyper potions. That's what I did. I finished it on a really rough day of school and I had no patience to grind.

My Garchomp was faster than hers so I just used Dragon Rush and OHKO'd it.

Unova is higher than Kalos because I kinda like Ash having a rotational team, plus the only stand out Pokémon that I like on Ash's Kalos team is Hawlucha.

One does simply not like kalos. It is the best season tho.

I just find it to be boring and I didn't care for the pointless shipping between Ash and Serena as I knew that it would go nowhere and she would be replaced another girl. Plus I found Ash's team, barring Hawlucha to be boring in battle and personality.

The later episode of XY&Z have gotten better since they made Shota Ash's rival though I wished that he was at the start of the season as it's boring if Ash's doesn't have a rival challenging him.

Sandile tried to be the new Squirtle.

Hmm not really Sandile was really shy hence why he wore the sunglasses as it made him feel braver, Squirtle was brave without it.

I'd do Sinnoh, Kalos, Hoenn, Unova, Kanto, Johto I think. I just don't find his Pokemon in Gen 1 and 2 to be that fun to watch fighting. Hoenn was the first time they gave him a team that reflected something close to what I'd use playing the games.

My only complaint about his Kalos team is no Grass type or 6th mon.

The only reason why Kanto is second on my list is because of nostalgia as I have fond memories of watching it.

I take it that Cynthia pretty much destroyed your team, which is to be expected from the queen of Champions.
 
I got her down to Milotic... But I'm on the ropes too.

I have like 40 revives and she's already used a ton of moves with Milotic so I'm just gonna PP stall with those revives. lol

EDIT: I DID IT! Kept reviving between Luxray and Floatzel until she started spamming Mirror Coat against Floatzel and then revived my entire team, did some healing, and then just used Crunch. She tried surfing once she could no longer Mirror Coat but I had the resist so easy victory.

NEVER AGAIN

They're brutal, but not as bad as Brains and Brawn.

err what, his current team has the most personality of them all because of how varied each one is, in fact I like it that not everyone is the "rambunctious lot" most people seem to use for "pokemon personality"

So I know everybody's over discussing the new reveals in the Gaming threads, but still: like the world design, dislike the idea of the Rotomdex-as-character.

Like...come on.

Though, I can't wait to see what they're gonna do in the anime. Hopefully...nothing.
