Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Using Snivy in BW2... It might be the worst Starter to use in an ingame run. Offensive stats below 80 meaning you don't do much damage. It is a bulky Grass-type so you take Super Effective Damage from everything. It is a Grass-type so it deals half damage to almost everything. Coverage does not...

I don't know if I would say it is changed a lot for its performance but Togepi got a few new things that make it appealing. For one, the Donphan in the room, it can finally evolve. The bad news is, the evolution is post-game exclusive which is still vast enough to count as in-game...
I think the reason for that is also how these Pokemon can stand on their own. Both came to existence unrelated to each other with Ho-oh being created as the Pokemon advertising Generation 2 and generally representing the mystery of Pokemon according to the first Episode of Pokemon where you...
Seeing how Volt-Ikazuki's focused on type balancing by how Game Freak tried nerving Psychic types, I want to look from the other perspective that always intruiged me by looking how much the Fire-type improved over the years from becoming a joke of a time in RBY to almost a must have type on any...
So I finished my Pokemon SoulSilver run and tried out Pokemon I didn't try in these games. Here are results of those I did not expect much but did exceed my expectation:
Generally I did not want to use Entei but after being stuck on the Kimono girls I felt like I needed something that can take...
Ingame playthroughts in gens 3 onwards really became a hard pill for me to swallow due to Natures because catching a Pokemon and seeing it has a certain nature can really affect my desire if I want to use it or not. It is often an inconvenients.
But what is worse for me is using Nidoran line in...

I don't know how people feel about Blaziken in RSE but I think in the right hands it is a fantastic Pokemon thanks to the addition of its secondary Fighting Typing. Torchic-line did struggle but generally it did learn powerful moves for the time and being able to hit hard from both sides...
On the topic of starters, I would also put my viewpoint regarding them (on those whom I didn't talk about to far like Chikorita, Bulbasaur and Charmander).

Generally moveset wise I don't think Totodile got better nor worse. Special Ice Punch replaced by physical Ice Fang and I think you...
In my current SoulSilver Playthrough I am kinda stuck in how to beat the Kimono girls which is kinda embarrassing. I honestly don't want to try revive strategies for now and wanna see where I can go. For now I will post the team as it is to show what I am working right now.

This is something I figured when I discovered that you can trade Pokemon Colosseum Pokemon after beating the game any time to Ruby or Saphire. So around Gym 6, I traded a few Pokemon from Colosseum like Raikou to Sapphire and it was very satisfying to use Thunder. I don't know if I used Raikou...
Iris' Haxorus can literally ruin your chances of winning after 1 Dragon Dance. With that Focus Sash, she is guaranteed to survive.
This might be one of the hardest Elite 4 Battles and I think it is very memorable. Especially in Challenge Mode during rematch.
Definitively worthy being called a...
I am doing a Pokemon SoulSilver run.
I have Croconaw, Paras and Mareep on my team. I would generally perfer to use lesser used Pokemon that are realistic to use for an ingame run and don't need massive amount of investment like Dratini.
Pokemon Stadium 2
Reasons:
- amazing animations
- lots of great challanges and access to an admittedly with a poor moveset, yet, still large amount of rental Pokemon to choose from
- great announcer
- able to use your GBC Pokemon games on the big screen and use them for an equally strong set of...
