Do we need more people like this? If Basilmarket wasn't enough... ugh. Time to lock this thread. Minor grammatical errors should not be the focus of one's post...

Are you sure the bolded part is what you wanted to say? If it is I'm glad you agree with me. And I'm not twisting your words, I'm merely saying it isn't a waste to make a team at all, which you seem to abhor. Bottom line: Anything in game works... but you seem so against having a team, and as others seem to say, they like having a team. Your opinion, my opinion, we're different. Leave it at that.

Scyther has a pretty low catch rate actually, but that is irrelevant. And if you EXP share it, you might as well just train up Scyther because it is quite a potent Pokemon to begin with. I don't watch TV... and no, I think it's fun compiling a team that can cover each others' weaknesses. Training a bit isn't that bad either... I grinded a couple of levels in a matter of minutes if I needed to (it isn't those MMOs where leveling is difficult). Anything can get boring if done repetitively, so either way, that is irrelevant. And who enjoys making these teams? Ask everyone else then and those who made their team. Of course people take breaks, that's natural... for anything. And you shifted topics... when was it an argument about actual training vs making a team? It was the argument of having one overpowered pokemon vs having a whole team. Your posts indicate that it is a sin to make a whole team while playing through the game, when it isn't.

No I did not contradict myself. Early EV training doesn't mean specific EV training to get a specific build... you fight wild Pokemon and you gain EVs. Simple as that... and Pidgey/Weedle/Rattata/Zubat gives Speed, Sentrets give Attack, etc... and it will eventually build up. That is what I was referring to, rather than getting a clean Gyarados. You did not tell me you had other "utility" Pokemon for catching purposes. And my point was using your overpowered single starter will make it tough to catch certain Pokemon you may want later. If that is what you use, then whatever, use it if it is your preference. I'm not saying it's wrong, I have friends who do that too, but it isn't up to you to tell others that "having a team of 6 is ineffective" or whatever, when people actually enjoy building a team of multiple Pokemon. It's THEIR Pokemon journey and as you can see, we all beat the game with a team of 6. And btw, Gyarados outclasses Feraligatr... well, not completely, but damage wise and whatnot... and take into factor that not everybody picks a Feraligatr.

Speculation: Metagame changes/ New pokemon's roles
wraith89 replied to Tbird's topic in Generation 5
Fire/Psychic? Ewww. Tyranitar bait for the lose. Okay, if it has some Fighting move, then Tyranitar would have to think twice before switching in. I can see that thing getting Grass Knot like the other 100/100/100/100/100/100 pixies, which won't KO Tyranitar outright, but still put some major damage. Yeah, my interest for this thing... somewhat went down the drain. But what makes it so special that it has to be #000? Really now... don't steal Missingno's Thunder >_> But on the bright side... look! All our wishes for more Fire types... came true. Reshiram is Fire/Dragon (why? U_U) and this guy too. Who's next? Luvdisc's speculated evolved form? Fire/Water... heh heh. -
Again, your opinion. Geodude is an amazing Pokemon, early game especially. It definitely helps using one vs Falkner and Bugsy. Necessary? No. Useful? Yes, very. Also does well on Whitney but its usefulness may stop after a while unless you feel like keeping it, which isn't at all bad if you feel attached to it. Magikarp --> Gyarados. What's wrong with early Gyarados? Yes you can get a Red Gyarados right off the bat later, but some people actually want to, well, have it earlier? Thanks to the earlier EV training, it will be stronger than the red Gyarados as well. Tedious training? Sure. Fun of wrecking early game? Why not? Same deal with Abra. And what's better than that satisfaction when you see your Metapod turn into Butterfree and can finally beat stuff? Same deal with Magikarp to Gyarados... a better feel of accomplishment to some. And define your "better options". Level 51 Golbat? Level 44 Ursaring? And okay, try catching that level 20 Larvitar with your level 77 whatever... chucking balls may catch it but granted it's harder and definitely not as fun... whatever, I should not even argue about this. It's just as pointless as pointless gets. You definitely don't understand how others play this game... so whatever style they play, just let them be. No one should be told how to play Pokemon. Not everyone goes mono "one Pokemon run". I'm also curious to what Pokemon you have used and what moveset it has.

We already thought about something like this a long time ago... but it was declined because people said it was too easy to abuse and whatnot (at least that's what someone said, I don't know who). But PP is changing so we'll see what the rest of the staff thinks about it. It's been a while since vBulletin 4.0 was released... someone definitely made a hack for that.

Rain Dance Team [Updated]
wraith89 replied to Riolu Aura Sphere Now's topic in Team Building Discussion
Don't be so harsh Bob >_> But then again, what Gin is saying is true. The rain does not benefit anything in this team at all aside from random water moves from Milotic and Gyarados and weakening Fire moves against Venusaur and Celebi. That's about it. How to get the most out of rain? Usually, that involves Pokemon that have ABILITIES that can benefit from the rain, such as Swift Swim and Rain Dish. You see Omastar? It has that magnificent base Special Attack of 115... but hampered by that really atrocious speed of 55. With the ability Swift Swim, it becomes a monster in the rain because it becomes twice as fast (making it outspeed MANY things) and can actually be very viable as a sweeper. A Rain Dish Ludicolo (there's also Swift Swimmers) can be an annoying staller with Leech Seed/Protect/Dive/etc... That's an example of how rain teams work; they should really benefit from the rain that can make a difference b/w win and lose. You put in many Pokemon that can benefit from the rain, and since rain is only a temporary weather (Kyogre is banned), you will also want to stick Rain Dance on your teammates. The item Damp Rock can increase the duration of rain from 5 turns to 8, which is really amazing. I'm not saying to put a whole team of swift swimmers/rain dishers though, you will also want one or two Pokemon that can protect the rain team from falling. An example would be, erm, Bronzong, who has the defenses to take hits, rain weakens fire moves targeted on it, and can set up rain itself and annoy enemies with support moves like Hypnosis and Reflect/Light Screen. Lanturn can eat Electric moves for breakfast and also benefit from the rain by powering up its water moves. You will need to put up some thoughts before posting up a team. Here is an example of a functional rain team: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?10069-OU-Rain-Dance-Team And although I loathe to go here, this article can definitely help you: http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/rain_offense Note that you are not limited to the suggestions here. Have fun. -
Hidden Powers don't count Anyways, it's Giratina for me too because it's a Ghost/Dragon, which is pretty cool to me. Plus it has two forms. I don't know, I liked it even before it got its alternate form.

If that's your opinion then stick to it yourself. No need to criticize what most people do: build a team in-game for the fun purpose and how the game is actually meant to be played. Yes, I catch that Pidgey early and train it. And some Pokemon you get early are quite good, like Magikarp or Geodude. And of course, you have that problem of overleveling where you're too strong you OHKO every wild Pokemon in the game, making it hard to catch one except by luck. If you want an improved AI that matches up your level then do Battle Tower. That's all I'll say. Gym Leaders are the storyline part. If you overlevel your Pokemon, sorry you won't get a challenge in-game. Anyways people, this is a REALLY old topic I proposed back before HGSS was even out... so you can totally disregard it.
