    X and Y are good games.

    If Flygon doesn't finally get one we riot
  3. Little things you like about Pokémon

    I realize ROM Hacks are a bit of a touchy subject sometimes, but I like to check out the documentation of the changes, and my favorite running gag is increasing Wailord's sprite so it's massive.
  4. Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    Metagross is a Psychic/Steel type. It is, therefore, perhaps the most hostile Pokémon to Poison types that can exist. It learns Sludge Bomb. HUH??
  5. The Best and Worst Boss Fights in Pokemon

    Saying that someone is the best Ice-type Gym Leader is a bit like saying you're the strongest first grader, but even so I think Candice has a solid team, especially in Platinum. Her team in Diamond and Pearl does nothing to take advantage of the permanent Hail from Snover, but in Platinum, her...
  6. Hmm, Monke: A Pan-only run of Pokémon Y

    Update 8: Four days later is "soon," right? Right/The Clarivoyant Here's the thing about this run, and especially this part. I've never been a super big fan of the run from the sixth gym to the seventh, and at this point, there's not a ton of strategy to the monkeys. The closest thing to...
  7. Hmm, Monke: A Pan-only run of Pokémon Y

    Hey, remember this? I do! (Sort of.) Anyways, expect an update relatively soon.
  8. Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    There's a YouTuber I like who does solo runs with just about every Pokemon and ranks them based on time and resets. That's how I found out about the baby Pokemon's movesets in Crystal. Magby: Starts with Ember (STAB move, 40 power) and gets Leer at 7 and Smog at 13. Smoochum: Starts with Pound...
  9. SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    I appreciate the science breakdown (not sarcasm! It was cool!) but I mean more that if you try to push a bear, it's gonna maul you lmao
  10. SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    Go outside after you've done some workouts and shove a sleeping bear. See how well that ends.
  11. Unpopular Pokemon that you like

    I think doing challenge runs basically gives me Stockholm syndrome for certain mons because I went from not liking the Burmy line or the elemental monkeys to being willing to die for them lol
  12. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I swear I'm not wishlisting with this, but it's funky how two types commonly associated with Speed (and even have moves and abilities related to Speed) in Electric and Flying have zero priority moves of their own.
  13. Unpopular opinions

    This might be unpopular, but I actually like Drayden's main STAB move being Dragon Tail. Is it optimized? Absolutely not. Could you argue that giving his mons a more reliable STAB move should happen at the last (or seventh) fight? Sure. But giving a Dragon Dancing Outrage Haxorus to an AI is...

    Greedent just after murdering an opposing Pokémon and seeing another victim sent out for the slaughter: Family guy: heh heh heh heh heh heh an then another heh he heh he #shorts #familyguy - YouTube
  15. Your Favorite (and least favorite) Routes in Pokémon

    I wanna give some praise to HeartGold and SoulSilver's expanded Cianwood City. The group of Route 47, Route 48 and Cliff Cave are quite impressive; Route 47 looking out over the water is beautiful and the different levels of caves and waterfalls have a pleasing sense of exploration.
