Hi there, Smogon! My name's M. Rock, and I have a thing for classic pokemon. Long story short, my old Gold Version and Transfer Pak still work perfectly, and I want to make a YouTube "Let's Play" series of Pokemon Stadium 2 with my gameboy mons! However, I can't do it alone. Based on what I have, I need ideas for a good team, as well as some good nicknames. This promises to be a fun project . I won't start until June because I have prom and graduation related stuff to square away, but I figure I'd get a head start on teambuilding. I'm going to use rentals for Little Cup, unless some one has a cool strategy I can make with GB Pokemon. Some quick notes:
Pokemon I don't have but might need:
Items that I have:
TMs:
So, what should I use for pokemon/movesets? How many and what kind of vitamins should I give my pokemon? Who should get the coveted leftovers? Remember, this isn't GSC OU, so I don't have to worry about certain things (like Spikes or SleepTalkers).
I also need to figure out how I'm going to record this thing, probably need something better than a Flip Video camera on a tripod...
So, feel free to suggest strategies, nicknames, anything you want! :)
EDIT: There are some elementary things I already know, like replace Typhlosion's Fire Punch w/Fire Blast or level up Heracross to learn Megahorn. The ones with full movesets listed are ones I used in the in-game journey. I will eventually delete Cut from Heracross, obviously.
- People will recieve credit for strategies and nicknames used in my LP
- After reading this thread (http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3467090), I'm much less motivated to raise Pokemon to lv. 100 for Prime Cup. I have a lot of things to do this summer, so I don't want to have to raise more than 6 lv. 100 Pokemon.
- No Crytal move tutor, so some pokes can't have Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/Flamethrower
- No Ubers - I want a good challenge!
- No special egg moves for the starters like Swords Dance Meganium because no Crystal
- I can clone TMs
- I can't trade, so there are certain Pokemon I can't get (no Gengar ;_;)
- I used a glitch to get all three starters. I used a variant of the same glitch to get Thunder, Blizzard, and Fire Blast for the price of one. No GameSharks here :).
- No Silver exclusives, namely Donphan and Skarmory ;_;
