Some kind of weird anime thing.
Hey guys, why are Dark types so awesome?
Always liked it. Loved that Sneasel and Murkrow got evos in Gen 4, even though I think I like Sneasel's design more.
Picked out my favourites amongst them.

I almost want that one of Yui as Lyra as an avy.
In Pokemon related news, Gengar is awesome and I don't know why I haven't bothered using one for so long (At least since Blue). When I replay Black/White, I'm gonna get him on my team as soon as I can trade.
As far as Dark is concerned, Houndoom, Pimpcrow and the Kremmling look alike were my favs. I need a figure of that last one, he really is soooo cool.

Is that bird wearing a fedora?
If you have lots of nostalgia for G/S then sure jump right on ahead.
I think I'm supposed to say over my dead body so chet feels good about himself

Thanks for the feed back!
Pounch is to busy being a good student... Or something...
Well... I guess so...
Probably, he's a pimp after all.
Honchkrow has the best pokemon species name, FACT!
Better tail, plz.
Honchkrow's hair is a fedora, your argument is invalid.
I like a lot of really shitty Pokemon; weaknesses won't stop me from liking it.
I mean, Honchkrow is 'more powerful' than Gyarados, with the same base attack and much more powerful STABs (Brave Bird, and priority Sucker Punch.. and Heat Wave / Superpower for coverage). It just sucks that Dark is a pretty terrible secondary typing.

Haha, is there any Pokemon that doesn't have any fans? Regardless of its stats?
I'm not sure people could even pick Spinda out of a line up.

Is Spoink that Pig Psychic thing? I kind of think he's cute but I always think they're ghosts for some reason. Might be the coloring.
Screw you, buddy! Dunsparce is one of the best abusers of Serene Grace. Body Slam, Headbutt, Rock Slide, Thunder-Wave, Water Pulse, Thunder. Amaaaazing.
That's more like it. Stantler just got shit on by the superior Sawsbuck this generation, so we'll all forget him a generation from now.
But how about this guy, does anyone actually like him?

Any recommendations for Battle Subway teams (single or double), or any basic tips as to what you can abuse against the AI this time around? I just want to be able to get to the 49 win mark quickly and consistently. My 4th gen teams aren't cutting it that well for this since the early rounds use decent Pokemon now.
I find doubles to be the easier and well.. more entertaining mode of play. I usually abuse Sand Stream (and thus, Excadrill), or Politoed with Drizzle and Swift Swim Pokemon. The AI can't really fight weather easily, but they will try to throw teams at you if you have a lot of common type weaknesses.
Don't use moves with low accuracy either. Rock Slide is acceptable, if only because so many Pokemon receive it and the chance to flinch is great in Doubles. But it will screw you once in a while. Put Protect on almost everything. It'll help you scout, it'll help you keep someone up and you finish the threatening Pokemon with your second.
Don't use Choice items, for the most part. Although having a Choice Scarf in the back can be handy to finish off, it could cost you. The type-boosting Gems are great, and allow things like Dragon Gem boosted Outrage to destroy everything. Trick Room / Gravity / Tail Wind can work, but I find them more unreliable than weather because they require a turn to setup and they can be stalled out (and AI will use stalling methods sometimes).
And in case you play singles, Trick-trapping doesn't work anymore. In Gen IV you could Trick a Choice item on to a Pokemon that used a non-damaging move. The Pokemon would just stay in and let your Pokemon setup. Now the AI will switch their Pokemon. So, Trick can be handy to have, it's not that great anymore.
Places like Smogon have a list of all trainers in the subway, so you can look at movesets for Pokemon and trainers and know what to expect. Really, unless you're aiming for a 200+ mark, you probably don't need to study like that.

Dunsparce is still shit on a shit sundae.
And Sudowoodo is badass. I'd choose it over Dumbsparce every single time.

Sudowoodo should evolve into a four armed Steel/Grass Pokemon monstrosity. I'm surprised they haven't tried to give him another evolution. Maybe he's not loved enough.
We could always use another Grass / Rock.
Or Ghost / Rock, because it died after no one would train it. fufufu
Chet Rippo

Sudowoodo can't evolve into a grass Pokemon. He's supposed to not be a tree.
that doesn't matter, he wouldn't be sudowoodo anymore, he'd be something else.

It would retroactively ruin Sudowoodo if his evolution became a tree.
