Sabeta

Hey, I'm looking for the animated battle sprites for the Pokemon in B/W. I've been looking, but could only find static sprites, can anybody point me in the right direction?

Yeah, but I had to ditch it for Tentacruel, who is very needed. =w=

I want to get the bugs worked out atm. lol.

So I still need a much more solid way of dealing with Gyarados.

=Sabedit=

It'll take a minor calculation, but I might know of a way.

nvm, I was thinking of giving Swampy HP-elec, but it wont work out.

Banned for wanting things.

Hello, I am posting this topic for two reasons. The first, is to alert you that Pokémon Online now supports Black & White Pokémon, as well as all the new moves, items, and abilities we can't wait to try. I myself have been playing with this since the Alpha server, and the project is currently in Beta. A quick point, B/W Wifi now allow you to see each others Pokémon before the battle, such as in the style of Pokémon Stadium 1/2/PBR. So, PO also includes this feature, allowing you to rearrange your party after seeing your opponents. Unfortunately this takes quite a bit of surprise out of the battles (Ie; phazing to scout = no longer necessary) but it does make battles more interesting, to say the least.

So, with all that being said, feel free to discuss the Metagame here. Please, I implore you to have actual knowledge of the metagame here. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT! complain about any tactics, Pokemon, or the brokenness of Pikachu, without firsthand experience in that field, meaning you have encountered, or used the aforementioned Pokémon. with that, I will begin.

My opinion, after roughly a week of play-testing, is that this is the single most Balanced Metagame I have ever seen. At face value, nearly everything looks unbelievably broken, to the point where this metagame is simply throw out your six, and rush them all at once in a Hyper Offensive style until your opponents are obliterated. This, as it turns out is completely untrue. I have scene, used, won, and been beaten by every play style, in equal amounts. The only play style I don't see, is Stall, but I have used it and achieved quite a good degree of success. (I'm not good with stall though). I can only assume this lack of interest to that particular regard is that Stall is much harder to play. Instead of destroying Stall like everyone originally assumed, they made it balanced out with the other play styles. It used to be where Stall was the easiest play style to pick up for most, and that it was often the best way to play. Now; however, it takes genuine skill to play Stall, but when played properly, is just as great as any others. Stall this gen requires better prediction, and more dependency on Rapid Spin, so keep that in mind to those who wish to build teams.

There are a few stars that are beginning to shine. Uru, the Giant moth is on nearly ever team, and despite losing half its health for showing up, it's a force to be reckoned with. Roopushin is a physical powerhouse, and a true monster. Shandeera is a lovely Pokemon, but nowhere near as game breaking as assumed originally, in fact, Shandeera was somewhat underwhelming.

With that in mind, there are very few Pokemon shy of genuine Ubers who break the metagame. Of those, are Doryuuzu. With Sandstorm up he's an incredible pain to deal with, perhaps impossible in some cases, I might just call him the first Uber. Why?

In Sandstorm, he doubles his speed, and when forcing something out, he doubles his attack (Swords Dance). It's not a pretty sight, needless to say. Long Story short, this is the single best metagame we've ever had, and I'm glad GameFreak delivered well this gen.

So, what are your opinions.

(I want to take now to remind everyone to actually test things before making any comments/claims, and that opinions are not facts, and as such, are undebatable, unless stating a differing opinion, but do not attempt to discredit the validity of anyone else's ideals. Ignorance is not an excuse.)

Well, when I'm paying any attention (which I do better on DS than on PO etc.) My prediction is quite epic. So I've no worries there.

thing is, I'm thinking about switching out Tran for Nape.

Don't the almost always pack EQ?

I do believe it was the original. I know one of the cases was their standard fighter ship=Tie Fighter. or was X-Wing, I think it was X-Wing. I dunno enough about either to care really >.> I watched star wars, saw that bit on BSG from various nerd news sources, and made an opinion from there.

=Double Post=

I'm thinking about replacing Heatran with Infernape. I realized that, due to having a lack of ANY mixed attacker, I leave myself vulnerable to the cliche antics of Skarm Bliss. Although, I am still worried about Gyara, does this team have a check for him? I don't encounter enough to be sure. (For now, I've just been out predicting them, to barely scrape by, all 2 of them I've fought.). Most other threats seem reasonably in check. Machamp is still a bit of a nuisance. I would love to use a Rotom Forme, as it answers both of those problems in one Pokemon, but lack of AR prevents me from doing any such thing. I also want to keep this general core going though, as it's been kind to me in battle, and so I'm reluctant to make any drastic changes. (I was honestly torn at losing vappy, she's been so incredibly useful, lol, but Tenta was more needed)

Honestly, I'm only interested in the parts of Story that tell me to go places, so I don't get lost. (At least for this release) and the Gym Puzzles. (Second gym was hell T.T)

Is there anything else after that, that is totally needed?

You have been banned because the Ban-hammer is the single most unequivocally powerful, majestic, and awe-inspiring of all the machinations of the God Thor, and therefore should be revered as something sacred.

Evandixon, you are Banned for the following reasons:

1)Being a single post from having a 666 Post count

2)Having an ostentatious orange username

3)Using any form of BBL formatting in your ban post.

4)Dropping the sacred Ban-Hammer

5)Treason, for impersonating the King of Spades.

That is all.

Dusknoir, Burungeru, Desukan, Iron Giant, would all like to have a word with you.

Yes, let's give the ghost levitate while were at it. The Bug will be yet another 4x weakness to rock. I hope we get a Fire/Ice and an Ice/Bug next gen.

HottSushiz has been banned for having three completely unrelated characters as his Avatar/Signature.

Battle Star Galactica was sued by Lucas Arts on more than 30 cases of Copyright infringement. Imo, Starwars>BG.

It'll probably be Rotom-Esque, in that you only get one, but you can breed etc.

It is quite the impressive Pokemon competitively.

I vote for doing this, also from GoD

That sounds relatively easy.

Narwhal and Toffeuy almost seemed to have abandoned this though. If all of you don't mind waiting, I'm going to give it a week to see if they come back. If not, I'll be making my own thread.

I'm only assuming this is because of school.

Gin wasn't a noob. He lurked until he was a pro, then nuked everyone.

I like the pure fire type personally.

Back in the day I taught a shiny nintales ice beam. Because well ... it looked fitting. So if I was to give it anything It would be an ice typing. I believe That would have literally no resistances what so ever .

If you are talking about Fire/Ice, then Rock, Fighting, and Ground(?) would like to have a word with you. Especially rock.

85, holy crap. how'd we do this?

42, The answer to life, the universe, and everything.

and no, I haven't.

Yes, but then you run into the problem of people dashing your reputation because they don't like you, instead of any viable reason.
