  1. Challenge Nuzlocke Challenge

    Rolling right ahead with the next instalment: Tibbs' Pokemon Blue Nuzlocke Challenge Instalment #6 Main Developments: -Still giddy with joy after our narrow escape from death and associated funeral costs at the hands of Koga, I decided my team of battleworn warriors had earned themselves a...
  2. Challenge Nuzlocke Challenge

    Sorry it's been a while since my last update! Been away for a few weeks. Still keen to finish this Nuzlocke though, so I'm gonna go right ahead with the next instalment! Loving reading through all of yours as well, keep them coming! ------------ Tibbs' Pokemon Blue Nuzlocke Challenge...
  3. Challenge Nuzlocke Challenge

    Totally agree with all of this! Those changes from R/S to Emerald make so much less sense - and I have thought that about Bug-types since the first time I tried to train up a Butterfree - they soak up so much experience. Argh. @CJorex and Geodude6: Again, so true! To be fair, there isn't really...
  4. Challenge Nuzlocke Challenge

    Ahh, you're right! I figured that Route 3 went all the way up to the entrance of Mt. Moon, and that Route 4 started on the eastern side - but that Pokemon Center is indeed on Route 3! Ah well. Wasn't really in the mood to be slowed down by a Magikarp grind, so not a huge deal. But that's still...
  5. Pokémon Theories

    Loved the thoroughness of the economics theory - in part because it explains why the 'elite' trainers in-game are so poor. When you've been on Smogon even just a little while, you soon realise how much depth the games leave untapped in terms of serious Pokemon battling.
  6. Round XIX: Coconut vs Banana, Exeggutor vs Tropius!

    Don't have a huge problem with Hydreigon, the design is fun and badass and all. But I prefer Haxorus, mainly because his design is a lot sleeker and a bit more understated (notwithstanding he does indeed have an axe for a head). Hydreigon meanwhile smells a little too much like a fanboy's wet...
  7. Challenge Nuzlocke Challenge

    Tibbs' Pokemon Blue Nuzlocke Challenge Instalment #2 Main Developments: -Tore through Viridian Forest like a demon. Grinded a bit towards the end to get ready for Brock. A little apprehensive as to how it could go, considering the complete lack of any super effective/neutral offensive options...

    Hey, thanks for getting back to me! My main question was really just about how I might start getting involved with the Contributions and Corrections (specifically Grammar) teams. I've got some experience in the area, and I really enjoy that kind of work. Is there somewhere you can point me for...
  9. Pokémon Theories

    Fun thread! Particularly enjoyed the Hitmonchan sprite, Ditto and meta-anime theories. That last one is immense - how spectacular would it be if, after the last episode, the writers were just like, 'Hah, you thought we'd produce hundreds of episodes of drivel like that non-ironically? You got...
  10. Round XIX: Coconut vs Banana, Exeggutor vs Tropius!

    This is amazing and gives me serious reason to consider that I may have miscast my vote. 'Bouffalant as strong independent black woman' leaves Tauros in the shade, haha.
  11. Round XIX: Coconut vs Banana, Exeggutor vs Tropius!

    Tauros! The original and the best. For a while there he had all of Generation I wetting its pants. I doubt Boufallant could manage more than wetting his own.
  12. The Most Facepalm Worthy Thing You Have Done in All of Pokémon

    Dude. That's rough. I would have raaaged.
  13. The Most Facepalm Worthy Thing You Have Done in All of Pokémon

    The year was 2000. Marill had just made its debut appearance in the anime series. And I was a very gullible child. My brother told me that if you traded a Pikachu between Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Red 100 times, and then used a Water Stone on it, it would evolve into a Marill. ...Didn't work guys.
  14. Challenge Nuzlocke Challenge

    Alrighty, here we go with my first ever Nuzlocke instalment! Since I've never done one before, I'm thinking I'll keep it fairly simple. This will be a traditional Nuzlocke run of the classic Pokemon Blue. My rules: 1) Fainting equals death. No second chances, no putting them in a cushy little...
  15. Pokémon XY General Discussion

    Looks like a fairly standard crop of initial Pokemon reveals to me, but some nice designs in there. Fun to see a panda-themed Pokemon. I like that they themed the Normal/Flying standard after a robin, gives it something to set it apart from the others (as far as I'm concerned, Starly and Pidove...
