Perfect. All types represented.

you guys some times, while i still want those types i dont think they are the most needed things for this game, i'ld just find it nice to see all the typesa there
plus i'm not really that big of a fan of the fire type and it now having 4 pokemon, i dont like it
Chandelure is still cool though and i'm happy we got a big out of left field pick

Was looking at the list you posted in the other thread. Interesting stuff. Seeing Zoroark outside of the top 15 surprises me even now. It got a Lucario like push, had good design (to me at least), and has a very fun and unique ability (/gimmick). Yet it didn't even come close to Lucario levels of popularity (maybe too similar?). Makes me wonder what most factors into a pokemon's widespread popularity.
Anyways, I wonder if lists like it have an impact on TPC decisions. Seeing Chandelure in Pokken suggests that they do matter at least a bit.

Now I know Ash sucks at thrashing Pokemon but those were pre-XY Ash. XY Ash thrashed mons like Hawlucha, so maybe he can actually thrash Volcanion now.

I was mostly serious with my reply. I could see them using Scizor as a bug rep and Tyranitar for rock. Both are pretty popular and having a mega form seems to help. Diggersby is more of a reach but I'd love to see it happen.
I really hope we do see full type representation though. Would help makes things feel more complete. If there are no bug types I'd be a little let down (one of my favorite types).
Dunsparce could be the perfect normal rep to fill the joke character slot.

He has taken a lot of pokemon attacks
the question is if he can now deliver the same thing to Pokemon

Wonder what the setting may be this time around. The background looks fairly generic, but it could be a savanna considering Volcanion is supposed to be a kinda-sorta lion.
Oh I don't think it's going to happen, I just think that if it did, it'd still be Gen 6.5 rather than Gen 7.

I bought Alpha Sapphire used, off of a friend, for $20. He'd paid $35 at EB, plus tax.
Did I buy the right one?
Did I buy the right one?
It really hasn't mattered since gen 4, but if you want to ignore the ease of the internet I'd say that...OR has a slightly better selection. Regular Sapphire destroys Ruby so this is a reversal.
I might try to complete a living dex for 6th generation and completion for the older games. Let's see how far I get before I give up lol.
I would say it matters for legendary Pokemon.

Regular Mewtwo having X as his Mega in Pokken is super disappointing, it feels pointless to have two Mewtwos in the game and have them have the same Mega...
Yeah it's weird. At least Mewtwo Y gets represented in Smash. Charizard Y gets nothing (but the cover of super mystery dungeon I guess).
Boss Doggie

But Y gets the lion share a lot.
Oh yeah they fixed it as Azoth Kingdom.

I'm not going to play it to 100%, and just want to beat the main campaign. I'm not the type to grind, mate, etc. and beat the Elite 4 in the post credits stuff.
I'll likely beat the campaign then sell it.
But I was curious if it is better than OR. I like the Pokemon on the cover of OR better. I normally use a fire team, though, and if the baddies are a water team, that's out the window.
I figured the deal was Y got Smash, so X gets Pokken, but yeah it is odd now that there's two Mewtwos in the game. Oh well...
I'd recommend that you do the delta episode in the post game before selling. It starts immediately after you beat the elite four and is only a couple hours long. It was one of my favorite parts of the remake, but part of that may be since it was new content.
Ok thanks! Watched first episode and thought it was really good. Looking forward to watching the next parts of it, although that will be a while down the line.Alongside is better
I misread arms as ass. >_<
That's interesting as there was a book in Team Magma/Aqua base with talking about Primal Reversion and Megas and the letter A,Z,O,T,H was mentioned.
I wonder if this is a connection and what it will mean for "Pokémon Z"?
Yeah East Shellos design is miles better.

So I played Pokemon TCGO a bit today and, wow, there's really no way to come back when your opponent has a strong Pokemon out, huh? Was playing against this guy and I got Magcargo out on turn three and totally destroyed him as he was incapable of doing anything.
Also I forgot how many coin flips this game has. Geeze.
Also I forgot how many coin flips this game has. Geeze.
Magcargo doesn't look that strong? With stuff like N and whatnot you can come back decently well. The issue is if you have no Supporter in hand and don't draw one for a while. Pokemon is a very draw-heavy game.
I was only able to do one City Championship this season due to work and other commitments
It's my favourite TCG tournament series as they're somewhat small but still competitive making for a fun but not mentally exhausting experience. I borrowed my friend's Xerneas + Ho-oh deck was was a lot of fun. Absolutely hilarious though I made some ridiculously stupid moves.Firestorm needs his coffee in the morning

to be fair though "azoth" is an alchemy term

So I went away for a few days and managed to finish Red in the meantime (I consider finishing Red as everything up to catching Mewtwo).
Team:
Ditched:
Here are some of my thoughts.
- While not as bad as Diamond/Pearl Red is very slow. Having to go to the menu to use HM moves does not help much
- The Pokémon League is pathetically easy, especially Blue. I was around 12-18 levels below Blue when I beat him (highest member was Zapdos at 53)
- Some Pokémon are just not worth using if you don't give them certain TMs (Nidoking in general and he needs a lot of TMs, Arcanine needs Dig otherwise he's just a worse Charmander, Exeggutor needs Mega Drain/Psychic)
- Nostalgia trip is pleasant but I imagine a lot of people that buy these games on 3DS are going to realise how far behind Red & Blue really are

Oh I didn't know that.
Ah that brings back memories when I caught a Budew and was trying to get it to evolve before level 19.
In the end I said fuck it I am not hanging around trying to evolve Budew and hold the adventure back and if Roselia ends up sucking I will just dump it for somebody else.
The next battle it got to level 19, evolved into Roselia and gain Magical leaf, she ended up becoming my strongest member and really carried the team.

Agreed, Gen 1 has not aged well at all.

I was playing BW2 and trying to get Azurill to evolve before he lost out on all the attacks----pulled it off just right where he evolved, learned the powerful Aqua Tail, and then evolved the next level.

I just realized that in Ash's XY team, only Noibat hasn't had a chance to fight in a gym battle.
Would be neat to see him in Wulfric's fight.

Along with whatever his last Pokémon will be...damn it Ash hurry up and catch your last Pokémon! *Shake fist*

I know in OS he got his 7th mon earlier since it was a plot point, and he kept rotating around his mons throughout OS.
I forgot how early he filled his team in BW.
I forgot how early he filled his team in BW.
Kanto- He filled his team up early, but once Butterfree left he replace it with Primeape...who then left and it was left empty until he caught Snorlax in the Orange Island.
Johto- Again he filled it up quickly but that was due to the fact he took his Kanto team with him.
Hoenn- Didn't get his last Pokémon until before the last gym.
Sinnoh- Had his team filled up after he got his second gym badge.
Unova- had it filled after the first gym but he caught a lot more after and rotated his Pokémon around.
Kalos- Still waiting for his 6th member to pop up.
It took him awhile for Ash to fill his 6th slot in Hoenn.
He didn't exactly rotate his Pokémon in Kanto, once Butterfree left his 6th slot was empty and later fulfilled by Primeape. Which he then left it behind with a trainer to train for the P-1 and for the rest of the Kanto arc it was left empty and didn't get filled until he caught a Snorlax in the Orange Island.

Wait, didn't he have a bunch of Oak warmers like Tauros, Muk and Kingler?
iirc his team that maxxed out first was Pikachu, 3 starters, Pidgeotto and Butterfree. Then he caught Krabby, Muk and Tauros later on after Butterfree left, with the Krabby catch being a plotpoint about being his 7th catch.
And speaking of which, I realized what a terrible premise that episode started with. "Ash didn't catch a Pokemon on his own". WELL DUH, TRAINERS CATCH POKEMON WITH THEIR POKEMON. What the fuck.
Oh yeah, data broadcast time
13-14 we already know the eps (Ash vs Shota with a side of Alain, TR finding Blue Core who was being chased by Team Flare who then fights Alain)
Curious on the later eps though, especially the Sylveon one, since it seems Eevee will evolve earlier than episode 19.
