Strong Pokémon, weak Pokémon. That is just the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers try to win with their favourites.

That's what I do and I win most of my battles :) Come up with unique strategies and you'll screw over many people because they only plan for the standards. I've screwed over many with my strategies, and the current one I'm planning is brutal in theory.

Just be imaginative with the ones you like and you can win :)

Fair enough. To be perfectly honest, I was planning on doing that to a certain extent from the start. I.e., read up on strategies and then pick something based on what lets me use as many of my favorite as possible. Any strategy that doesn't let me use Houndoom is a strategy I want no part of.

It's one thing to enjoy leisurely battles, but real battles can be a severe trial. Truly strong trainers sometimes must be prepared to choose Pokémon that can win rather than their favorite Pókemon.

This is true

That's why I use uber-ranked Pokemon

And I have taken down many trainers like that :p

As I said, strategies that deviate from the standard will screw up so many competitive players. Hell, that's what Sejun did with his Pachirisu.

I'm kidding guys, I just quoted the senior gentleman from the Battle Resort, that's why I put the :D in the end. If I were serious I wouldn't have put that there.

So I haven't plated a Pokemon game seriously since R/S/E back on the GBA. I had D/P/Pt but didn't really get into it, never got around to finishing it. With the new remakes and seeing my roommate play X/Y I really want to get back into Pokemon and play the games I missed out on. What order would you guys say I should find these and play them?

  • D/P/Pt
  • B/W
  • B2/W2
  • HG/SS
  • X/Y
  • ORAS

There are people here who will give better and more structured advices, mine is: play Platinum and HeartGold/SoulSilver.

Yeah, I do know a few myself.

You're going to get burnt out on Pokemon if you play all those in a limited amount of time (ie, more than one or two a year). I recommend playing B/W and then X/Y to get caught up on all the new stuff in Pokemon games that you've missed out on.

I wouldn't recommend playing all the games you missed out on. You'll burn out quickly.

I recommend XY since it's good for beginners and those who haven't played Pokemon in a while.

Caught Rayquaza last night, Jolly 31/31/31/29/25/26-27. Would have loved 31 in speed aswell, but considering the luck I was having with synchronize I'm happy anyway.

Also caught Mewtwo in Y and transferred it over, it's Timid with 28-29/31/31/31/18/28, a bit low sp def but that's fine with me.

Pretty happy with the legendaries I've caught so far :)

What is going on in ORAS battle spot:
http://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/battle/oras/
Notice how number 1 and 2 are both emonga.

In other words the same person probably bought both games (the profiles go to an OR linked one and an AS linked one)...I get visions of a chess player playing 3 matches at once here...
Click to expand...
He did the higher-ranking cart first.

Seems to me like a very good player that got bored so he went for both #1 and #2 because he could.

A word of warning regarding Rotom-W. Hydro Pump is dangerous in the Maison. It will miss on you when you need it to hit and could easily end a streak.

I think Rotom-W or -H work well depending on what your team needs (-H is going to be more of a pivot, overheating when you need fire then volt switching out of there, overheat also has accuracy issues though).

I'm definitely using Mega Kangaskhan and also probably gonna use Garchomp if I can find a Gabite in Friend Safari.

I'm pretty much only familiar with Smogon rules, so I'm gonna stick with singles. I'm thinking of TrickScarf Rotom-H at the moment. Is that a good set in the Maison? Or would it be better to go for a Bulky Rotom-W set?

EDIT: Then again Bulky Rotom-W deals with fighting types better and I don't really have an answer to those.

Yep yep :) You don't need Lisia though

Speaking of ribbons, what's the point of those expensive ribbons you can buy in Mauville? Do they do anything?

Oh I like this Deoxys I got here:
Deoxys - #386 (Naive)
HP: 21
Att: 31
Def: 12
SpA: 31
SpD: 31
Speed: 31

I wonder if I should keep trying though since I am using a master ball on it.

That's a real damn shame. What has me worried is that DLC might be a thing that they do to get the Battle Frontier, which will be a disappointment. It still won't make up for the lack of cell phone for me, of course.

Nah, it won't happen. Search for "ARE YOU KIDDING ME" on this thread, you'll find a post linking to an interview that said BF is basically not coming.
