    Let's Play! Gotta Play (A Handful) Of Em' All (Current Project: TBA)

    This was a very fun read guys!! I wasn't expecting you to fight Steven what with the level difference but you did and won, impressive. One minor nitpick DrumstickGaming you posted the wrong Phoebe team, one of her Banette have Thunderbolt (I learned it the hard way). Regarding Swampert I sort...

    Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald In-Game Tier List - Writeups

    I was today years old when I learned that Substitute was obtainable in Lilycove, lol (but like QuentinQuonce said it's still post Surf so you can't use it against Norman). Another small correction is that Seedot isn't available in Sapphire, only in Ruby and Emerald. I still think the Ruby...

    Let's Play! Gotta Play (A Handful) Of Em' All (Current Project: TBA)

    I kinda had to lol, skipped him and went to Dewford first to train Magikarp (obviously on Switch Mode, otherwise it'd take forever). Don't think I did Wattson tho because I could've at least had the Rock Smash HM instead of just using Tackle/the weak special Bite.

    Let's Play! Gotta Play (A Handful) Of Em' All (Current Project: TBA)

    Hi guys, love the dual Let's Play! You actually reminded me I still have an unfinished Emerald mono-Water run, lol. I think I was in the middle of the E4 when I lost interest. My thoughts are similar to yours, Brawly is a huge threat in this version where even my Gyarados struggled a lot to win...

    Metagame SV UU Metagame Discussion - The Indigo Disk

    So yesterday I decided it was as good a time as any to go back into teambuilding since everyone would be trying out stuff. I wanted to build first a Veil team and then a balance one centered around CM Slowbro and Zap—reminiscent from the BW/early XY UU days. For the Veil squad I chose a core of...

    Resource Simple Questions, Simple Answers Thread

    As I couldn't post in the other thread in time I figure I'll add some stuff since I was part of the original council. To keep it short, when kokoloko was leading UU he decided in the transition to XY (when Megas became a thing) that it'd be worth it to take a more drastic approach to tiering...

    Thanks for the support!! I'll try to gather my thoughts and see if I can come up with something meaningful from a tiering philosophy to actually contribute to the topic.

    Man I wish I had a deeper knowledge of the current OU meta because I see they're arguing the kokoloko method and as one of the OGs I kinda want to comment to clear some misconceptions but I dunno if it'd add much to the discussion :\

    Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald In-Game Tier List - Writeups

    Hey pe5e thanks a lot for this! On Pinsir I'd say that again Bulk Up is worth mentioning (I might sound like a broken record but I found setup is more amazing in these games than in others). Additionally it learns Swords Dance unlike Heracross but since it's a level 49 it might be too late to...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    Late to the party but as someone who's spent the last few years learning different languages this was a beautiful gift. Also since Spanish names have always been the same as English ones getting to see Ferrodada (as in ferro + rodada) and Pelarena (pelo, hair + arena, sand) is kinda striking...

    Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald In-Game Tier List - Writeups

    Hey! I don't have much to comment but considering Alakazam and Kadabra are tiered differently you may want to stress the differences more: namely the significantly lower physical bulk (Zam can at least hope to live neutral hits), but also that Kadabra doesn't learn Calm Mind by level up so you...

    Real-world territories that will never be Pokemon regions

    I know this thread is technically for territories that WON'T ever be Pokémon regions but I gotta say I got pretty hyped when Patagonia was first mentioned because I could see something like the Southern Cone (so including parts of Brazil and Paraguay to have a larger pool of biomes) being...

    Why when or how did you get in to pokemon

    The anime prolly came first but I remember a holiday when my American cousins came to visit and they had a Game Boy. I never got one myself but my older brother got ROMs and one of the older emulators so I could play Pokémon Red or Blue plus the Pinball games. I also remember we got collector's...

    Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald In-Game Tier List - Writeups

    I tried to remember the matchups where Clear Body made the difference and I think they were basically Sidney (due to Sand-Attack Mightyena but also preventing Intimidate helps get the Sludge Bomb KO on Cacturne/Shiftry which might otherwise live Ice Beam) and Drake due to Shelgon's Rock Tomb...

    Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald In-Game Tier List - Writeups

    Hey pe5e thanks for reviving the thread! I also hope it can get done since it's very close. My only major correction to your writeups is that Numel and Camerupt don't have Simple/Solid Rock until Gen IV—their only abilities being the mostly useless Oblivious and Magma Armor. Also I'd stress...

    Damn yea their entire relationship is so powerful (with him seeing through her, etc) that even if you think they're prolly not gonna end up together it still hurts. And well, the first season also hits hard on rewatches but I don't wanna get too depressing o.O

    I was mindlessly scrolling in OU and the "it'll pass" caught my eye because I'd just talked about that phrase the other day (from the Fleabag ending; maybe yours wasn't referring to that lol). Apparently you recently got an Artist badge so congrats!!

    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for November 2023

    After switching around between tiers a couple times, now Torkoal and Pelipper are both UU. That'll be interesting to see—especially since Ninetales didn't make much of an impact. Also | 37 | Arbok | 7.094% | whoever spammed Arbok in PU, you have my appreciation. I...
