Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Also, Magmortar not learning Aura Sphere and Dark Pulse and Dragon Pulse and getting something like Mega Launcher as an ability is a loss opportunity since gen 6.
Electivire not being Electric/Fight and not getting things like Drain Punch, Close combat...with Iron Fist.
Luxray not getting Dark...
Eviolite Dusclops is the best mon you can ever use. Pain Split/W-o-W/Hex/Mean Look. That thing is immortal. That Cynthia's PogChomp will only tickle this.
And I like Dusclops more than I like Dusknoir, designwise.
I'll be using one of these 3 teams, haven't decided yet:
I must say that the encounters not being like Platinum messed the teambuilding a bit. I'd like to use Rotom before the HoF. And I really hope that feebas doesn't have bullshit encounters like it had in DP and they pick a ORAS style...
So, if I am reading the Grand Underground Encounters spreadsheet correctly, the starters first evos only become available after obtaining the National Dex ☠️
Yeah, what Platinum has in its favour is a slightly better story and better first teams.
If we look at this correctly, BDSP addresses and succeeds in solving what was wrong with DP:
Slow paced game;
Limited pokédex, narrowing our teambuilding options (I remember fire types only being 2...
Between version 1.0 and 1.1 our boy Lucas attended the Trainers School, "How to make a pokémon EV spread" course, and now has the correct Tauros spread! Claps!
Well, I didn't expect this kind of isntrument being used to replicate this already masterpiece, but I think it is well done, and a nice rural/magical touch.
Better than drugging the hell out of them with candy XD At least, murdering Blisseys and Audinos your mons unlock battle survival instincts...:psywoke:
