Sakura Samurai received some excellent reviews! I really hope future eShop games are as good as Pushmo and Sakura Samurai. So far, the eShop is filled with tons of amazing games for cheap!

Calling Hitmonlee "the best" anti-weather Pokemon is a lot of wishful thinking. If you find yourself against Sandstorm, then Gliscor will wall Hitmonlee for days, render the effects of his ability wasted, and set up. Landorus also laughs at Hitmonlee and Reuniclus gladly sets up on it. Skarmory...

That's one thing Hitmonlee can do that's unique, but I'd go so far as to say that it doesn't warrant usage. Unburden has many flaws that make sweeping very inconsistent: -The effects can happen in a battle only once and disappear after switching out -For the speed gain to work, you can't use an...

Charizard is hardly ever used in standard because of Stealth Rocks. Case closed and don't debate on it, and certainly not here. Anyways, on the case of Hitmonlee, all that needs to be mentioned is the Strategy Pokedex analysis: "Even with these advantages, Hitmonlee faces stiff competition for...

I'm quite impetuous with my Nuzlocke Challenges, but I'm really invested into my recent one. I'm playing through Diamond and my team is... interesting. My one rule for Nuzlockes: no starters. I want my team to be completely out of my own hands. Here's what I got: Staravia Bibarel Budew...

It's ironic to criticize the argumentative force of Rayquaza's defense while making the claim that Eel is one of the worst Electric types in the game. If you want to find a destitute electric type, take a look at Electrode, Plusle, Minun, Luxray, Pachirisu, Zebstrika, Emolga, or Stunfisk. Eel is...

That's not necessarily true. The two Pokemon are quite different. While I'll admit that Thundurus is the more threatening (and better) of the two Pokemon, Eelectross has qualities that distinguishes it in a very positive way from Thundurus. Eel is not weak to SR while Thundurus is. Eel's lack...

Eelectross effectively comes in on both of Gliscor's and Landorus' STAB attacks, and can somewhat resist Thundurus' attacks. It can also resist Dragonite's Hurricane. I've been using Eelectross as a way against Gliscor mostly (So Eelectross in replace of Rotom). I've been running Modest 252 HP...

Since Eel has no weakness, you may test it against some of the most powerful special sweepers to get a better idea. As an indicator of the bulkiness of Eel, 252 Sp.A Timid LO Latios with Draco Meteor can only score a 3KO vs 252 HP / 252 Sp.D Sassy Leftovers Eelectross. That's decent.

Adding rules is a-okay. What did you want to add? Anyways, my Soul Silver Nuzlocke is going very well. At the moment I have what I would like to be my completed team. Here it is: Bayleef (Bold!) Ninetales (Modest!) Psyduck (Serious) Aipom (Adamant!) Umbreon (Careful!) Natu (Timid!) I know...

No Normal types? That's an interesting rule. Will you make an exception for Eevee in Goldenrod City, seeing as how it eventually turns elemental (plus it's a must-have for HGSS Nuzlockes!)

It would allow you to break the sub and deliver some damage (around 50% on Subpunch Breloom not including the HP already taken to make the sub), but unless you KO them (which isn't likely unless they've already sustained considerable damage) you lose your Ambipom in the process from their...

The 10% accuracy drop you accept by using Double Hit is not worth the risk. Double Hit allows you around 2-3% more damage output than Return which hardly compensates those crucial misses.

I have some unfortunate news regarding my Fire Red Nuzlocke. I lost, mostly from crits, mostly on Route 17 (Cycling Road). My team was Charizard, Persian, Primeape, Golem and Dratini. On Cycling Road, I lost Charizard, Persian, Golem, and Dratini. Charizard was KO'd by a Weezing's Sludge crit...

Is FR/LG really considered the easiest? I suppose I was having some bad luck at the beginning, but now my team is really coming together. The challenge that I've decided to do is a bit more complex, though. I plan to do a Nuzlocke of Fire Red followed by a Nuzlocke on Emerald. Once I beat them...
