Gym Leaders Should Be More Tough!

[wraith89]

Too hard for the beginning stage, don't you think? And the AI tends to spam Hyper Beam, so... yeah. Suggest any refurbished moves in that other topic please.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Okay Wraith.

Maybe Lance could have another Gyarados and lose a Dragonite. How does that sound?

[wraith89]

No thanks. He's keeping his original roster from the original GSC. In RBY he had two Dragonairs and one Dragonite. What am I supposed to do to reconcile the kicking of one of his Dragonites anyways?

[FLOOTENKERP]

He has 3, doesn't he? Another Gyarados would be just fine.

[wraith89]

You like it nostalgic though >.>

He had 3 Dragonites

[FLOOTENKERP]

Eh, I do but this is just for saying what would be a better challenge. It's not like we are affecting what is going to be in the game. Don't you think another Gyarados would add just nicely to the team?

[wraith89]

I would, but it kinda destroys the whole lore. As much as three Dragonites seem like overkill, some people aren't really prepared for three Dragonites either. They're not as easy to KO as you think. I had a terribly hard time with them (at least when I hacked their levels to be bumped up).

[FLOOTENKERP]

I beat them really easily. Maybe if you could improve their movesets?

[wraith89]

Your experience doesn't mean everyone has the same experience. I picked Meganium... so it was pretty tough. And besides, the game's challenge isn't terribly hard, it's just reasonable. And trust me, Ice Beam and Ice Punch nowadays won't even OHKO Dragonite anymore =)

What movesets do you prefer then, Floot?

[FLOOTENKERP]

Hmm, well I was thinking maybe Dragon Dance, Roost, Outrage and Earthquake. Looks like a good moveset, don't you think?

[wraith89]

That is competitive though. In-game though Lance LOVES to spam Hyper Beam because it is his "signature move"...

If it were competitive, I wouldn't do that though. Competitive and in-game are two different things

[FLOOTENKERP]

I agree, but who doesn't want a challenge? Maybe replace Earthquake with Hyper Beam.

[wraith89]

If I recall correctly, his two mini Dragonites use Ice and Thunder, respectively, with Thunder Wave. They also don't have Outrage. His best Dragonite had Fire Blast and Outrage... so I gave his last one a "real moveset".

[FLOOTENKERP]

Hmm, I guess that does sound pretty hard to beat.

Or mabye Giovianni will be back with mewtwo. It will make sense.

Giovanni never had Mewtwo. That's only in the anime.

[chycorita]

Or mabye professor oak will battle you. That's what they tried to do in Gen I

[wraith89]

Oh yeah! With that cheat and he has that wicked Tauros! Hmmm... but still, I don't think they'll ever do that though

[Fallen]

Giovanni never had Mewtwo. That's only in the anime.

I doesn't matter who has or how Mewtwo is in the game. He should be in all of them.

[chycorita]

I wish( don't say bad things about my post ) all legendaries, and all regions and all pokemon was in a single game... sigh...

[wraith89]

I doesn't matter who has or how Mewtwo is in the game. He should be in all of them.

But a gym leader with Mewtwo? Preposterous!

[FLOOTENKERP]

Oak battles you in generation I? Hmm, never knew that. And the anime has nothing to do with the games, so Giovanni will not have Mewtwo.

[wraith89]

There was a code that allowed you to do so. Unfortunately, it wasn't actually implemented... but really a remnant data that was left for your Gameshark to hack through

His lineup was similar to Blue's... except he had the starter you DIDN'T take and Tauros.

[FLOOTENKERP]

That's amazing. Anyways, back on topic, maybe Giovanni could use a Rhyperior instead of his Rhydon.

Definitely not prior obtaining the national dex =)
