in Gen 2, it's really cool that Synthesis only restores 1/4 health at night. But when I actually play at night and run into the issue, it is actually really annoying.

was trick room an option, or is Lax not slow enough? I always try to pull of belly drum stats whenever possible because it's such a clear cut path for winning. that reminds me, Steel losing it's resistance to Dark/Ghost made Psychic/Steel types lose some aura, and Normal types losing Return...

important question: how close do you have to be in Degrees of Separation Games. I may be only 2 degrees removed from Drake. Going purely by vibes here: NL finish will be 1. Dodgers 2. Mets 3. Chicago 4. Phillies 5. Brewers 6. Reds or Padres Either the Phillies win the World Series or the...

doesn't you get banned for talking for a week for that. from what i've heard of course.

okay so my thoughts are: 1) Stealth Rocks 2) What are these guys going to have? They aren't beating Red so or going that far into Kanto so they'll pick the easier Box art legendary to get, the one they can get from the Kimono Girls. maaaybe Kyogre/Groudon, but that will be too much for them...

every time

I'll definitely use it on my next playthrough. I had some lingering animosity towards it due to Gen 5's sturdy mechanics lol, but you make a compelling argument. I never use stealth rocks in my playthroughs due to a lack of familiarity from earlier games more than anything. Gen 5 does have...

no?? Gens 1 & 2: Pokeshops established by government in light of Pokemon's sudden appearance. Eventually they will be privatized for "efficiency" and sold off to the highest bidder, then costs will skyrocket Gen 3: You get free membership because your dad is a gym leader Gen 4: Same thing but...

It's Pokemon not Wokemon

We all have Pokemon we think are cool. However, our opinions of these Pokemon are not static, and under the right circumstances that respect can be lost. This can occur for a variety of reasons. I used to think the Alakazam line was really cool. I still do, to an extent. But after seeing a 3D...

Hey All!! My name is basedwell and this is my first thread I like to replay old generations of Pokemon, where team members need to be chosen carefully because there is a finite amount of xp to spread around amongst Pokemon, unless you want to go out of your way and grind against wild Pokemon...

do you think the grunts have a union to negotiate how much they pay up for losing? becasue they all pay the same amount humans are very resourceful, in a world with over 1,000 types of magical creatures they would find countless ways for Pokemon to influence and improve our quality of life. And...

The most unrealistic part of Pokemon is that everyone would pay up without complaint. The one time I money-matched someone in chess, it was at a bar for 20 bucks with a guy twice my age. I was beating so badly after 15ish moves and he resigned, but didn't pay up lol.

I'm reading through the thread rn and I'm quoting to agree on Typhlosion. Everyone talks about Fire Blast and choice specs, but neither is a terribly appealing tool to use in-game. I have qualms about using Fire Blast competitively too, but the reasoning there is that you're hitting ranges you...

that's a really thoughtful point that I hadn't considered. I'm still glad Scyther and Lapras did not get one tho lol
