    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Btw you could have easily Ice Beamed that Rhyperior instead of Hydro Pumping. It'd still get KOd.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Ah well... I'll check that guy's movepool to see if Serene Grace is worth abusing or not. Because sometimes it could be. I prefer Sap Sipper however, due to Grass immunity and free attack boost. Hey you can come in a Spore or Sleep Powder too! (problem with Spore is if it's a Breloom... well... it'll kill you regardless).</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>EDIT: Shadow Ball has 40% chance to lower foe's SpDef... but you'd rather be using physical moves anyways. Get a Sap Sipper version if you want. Chlorophyll works best in sun teams, of course.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Anything you like... Magnezone is top tier for B2W2 in-game btw. I didn't use mine though because I already had Mareep <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure.png" alt=":/" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Try searching for Cryptocat and install the plugin into your browser (Comodo Dragon/Firefox/Chrome/etc...), then I can tell you how to work that thing... through private message or something. That's one form of encrypted instant messenger btw.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Okay I'll add you. I still wonder if the... you know... White 2 that I have can connect to Entralink and other things. How about we do a cooperative Battle Subway battles together... you know teamwork? If battling against each other isn't a thing... or the thing I do with LEGO, which is find random wild Pokemon from certain level ranges... but only modifications allowed are items and TM/HM.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>You probably wouldn't want this, but I'll just say it, but I can legally hack your Pokemon to be competitively apt (I don't touch IVs and natures and stuff like that though, but I CAN do that)... and I can just easily "fill in" missing EVs on your Pokemon.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Mine is 1164 1807 4624. White 2.. you know, is 3827 0736 8144.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>That kind of thinking really exhausts me. I won't write stuff like that here on PP, but maybe someplace else.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  7. <p><p><p><p><p><p>Smooth... I just got Guillotined by a wild Kingler (Lv. 44 Kingler vs Lv. 44 Tornadus)... and then I accidentally clicked run when I wanted to catch it. I'm stupid. And now I just read that it's 5% chance encounter. ICK.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>DW Breloom wil completely murder teams. Try to switch into its Low Sweep or Spore: most typical Pokemon cannot switch into either one without receiving penalty of some kind... then eating a potentially 25 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 5 damage Bullet Seed from it. And if they happen to survive either one, Technician priority STAB Mach Punch says hi.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I have to breed for either the buffed Bullet Seed or Focus Punch... ick. And I don't think it's possible to get both, unless you transferred from Gen IV.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Lol. You like the vid? It's not as funny now, but the first time it came out unexpected I couldn't help but burst laughing.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Mmm it's raining. I love the rain.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, it's us. We should all fight each other or something: those are fun. I despise going competitive. I need to catch some Pokes... oh and did you hatch that Larvesta egg? I'd like it just to fulfil my Pokedex, but I guess I can just Ditto with my Volcarona... but I'm so lazy. And I want to evolve another Karrablast since you have the Escavalier. I caught a Shroomish yesterday: I'm going to have an awesome Breloom! But stupid Hone Claws TM replaced Focus Punch... UGH.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I want to write so much right now. But I'm too tired. I'm too sick of this defunct world it just drains my energy just like this. Of course you'd expect what I write: I've probably either harped it unto you a lot... or I'm just too predictable, or it's precisely the problem that you may be able to see. Even so, it's very apparent in this world, let alone South Korea. I'll drop it for now: I'd rather do something than discuss a matter so vain since I already feel the negative energy feeding off of me. But when I fight this, I'll make sure I can impact this world. You can count on that. If you come to South Korea (via cat bus), you can see how much emphasis they put on globalism or traveling the world. So much for national pride, eh? They know it. It's all lies: they know our country sucks, which is just sad. Displacement is on such a wider scale... I won't get into it.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>War sucks. Yes. We peons fight for some big nosed guys making money behind the curtains.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, wussies who are afraid to admit that they are and are spineless that they need to accommodate for others and find the politically correct term for X or Y or Z or whatever... they have more important things to worry about than "gay rights" and whatnot.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>All I'll say about that matter is... the fundamental pillars of society are being removed right in front of our eyes: family, nation, ethnicity, etc... those are what makes the world go round. Undermining these very important factors creates a counterculture... which won't last long because nobody thinks about the good of the whole but thinks of themselves only. It's a divide and conquer ploy to get people under control, and while it seems counterintuitive: those people who are promoting this have no care for any of the groups that they claim to espouse, but want glory for themselves and enslave the rest of mankind to do their dirty work. Basically, it's Tower of Babel redux.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Can't do anything about that. I'm quite politically incorrect.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>WOW. I just realised the punny there and I didn't even see it before. MainSTREAM. HAHA.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yes it's quite cheap, but still... it requires credit and electronic money and all, although that's how the trend is going to nowadays.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I don't know if I really LIKE to talk about the inevitable doom of this world, but sometimes it's necessary. I REALLY wish I were wrong on many things... but it doesn't seem to be the case. We'll talk about those stuff when the time is appropriate. This is a Pokemon forums... nothing political.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Military commander? He must be some sort of a veteran... that's interesting. But he's a teacher in a state school? Really?</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  14. <p><p><p><p><p><p>I meant in Mega Form.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

  15. <p><p><p><p><p><p>I want to see what they did to Blastoise though... MegaLauncher sounds like it will be on things like Clauncher or Octillery or Cloyster. It'd be interesting... but I hope Blastoise can distinguish itself. I used to sweep with Blastoise late-game a lot (yes it's possible, especially with a killer 150 STAB attack with the right support).</p></p></p></p></p></p>

  16. Generally I think most Pokemon will stay very similar to their original roles, unless Megas redefine them or put more emphasis on another role they intended (like Mega Venusaur going for defensive stall as opposed to the horror of sun sweeper). There are exceptions, such as Gen V Cloyster becoming a terrifying Shell Smash beast while its original role was generally Spiking Spinning utility... which it still does use, but you see a lot of crazy offence sets going on that it spiked all the way up to OU. Yeah, there are those, but I think generally most will stick to their original roles.
  17.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Not ruined per se... but they look like Digimon (I don't really like that, although I did like the original Digimon). I wonder what kind of competitive tactics they will bring to battle. I mean, if you don't like them, then don't use them. I don't really like the idea of Mega Evolutions either, but it's kind of exciting that they tried to make them more competitively viable. You know how long Charizard was teased for being 4x weak to Stealth Rocks? Now it can play mind games with others with Drought/Mega Evolution combination and destroy Politoed/Tyranitar in the process if it works out. Blastoise is mysterious to me... but idk how it'll hide in its shell now with all those accessories.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>... this means they might make other starters into Mega too.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  18. <p><p><p><p><p><p>Guy used some noob Pokes, but interesting stuff here. Though I think you were best off setting up some other guy and not your physical Sawsbuck against stall Dusclops.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

  19. <p><p><p><p><p><p>Arcanine's worst enemy is its recoil. You should also run somebody with Stealth Rocks in such metagame: it takes a crippling 25% damage from it, and works for residual damage to weaken others too.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

  20.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Good job. I do think you are still a bit reckless and still need to abuse Thunder Wave a bit more, but you're doing fine. Keep sweeping. (you did get lucky with those misses)</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>... and Hydreigon is the pseudoegendary of Unova. Didn't you know that? NO, it's NOT Haxorus, but the game does give you that impression.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  21. Yeah it seems pretty bulky overall, especially with that kind of build. None of us knows how Mega Evolutions work, and being able to trigger in and out of the evolution would sound broken anyways... but still, IF that sort of thing happened, you could potentially have "seven Pokemon" in a team, should the Pokemon be able to do so. I don't know if it's like the Smash Ball from Brawl where only one guy who triggers it will get it for the duration... or if both players can trigger Megas and have a Mega battle. (I hope simulators allow 6v6 Megas just for the fun of it... and fun stuff like madness games where it's 30 vs 30 weak pokes or something... idk.). I'm still wondering about Mega Ampharos... and if Megas and regular has different movesets... probably not. I hope not: that'd be too broken honestly, though some guys like Blaziken don't really need to modify their moveset a lot. I hope Charizard can learn some high powered Flying move to OHKO Blaziken... lol. I also hope the Kanto legendaries get a Mega Evolution... but knowing Gamefreak, they'll goof up and Mega Zapdos will be overpowered, gaining access to Heat Wave's Icy sister Frost Wave while the other two (particularly the blue one whose name we have all forgotten) will be all but collecting dust, because you know, Ice will be weak to Fairies and probably will be modified to be weak to everything, as a way for "rebalance". Yeah, I hope I'm not giving them any ideas... but it's probably too late. Moltres is supposed to be the strongest =( I was thinking the same thing. Twin telepathy, heh. The closest I could see with that description is Pokemon #731 [731: Basic, Ice. White shiba-inu dog with little shards of ice on its body. Its tail is made of ice-crystals.], but it doesn't appear Icy much nor is it a shiba-inu dog. It resembles Absol so much... but like... I'll bet it's another Tauros/Bouffalant, Luvdisc/Alomomola, Rhydon/Aggron kind of thing, I imagine. Feel free to scour around: http://pastebin.com/C6761nic Female Magnezone freaks me out though. Good grief: it's Mystery Dungeon come true! This may also mean it gains egg moves... along with others like Metagross and the likes. Hmm...
  22. <p><p><p><p><p><p>The Jewish part was me being racist as usual, but $5 per year? Still Jewish. But yeah, that's not a lot relatively. Unfortunately, I've never done this kind of stuff for paying for online and all. I'll bet > 90% of the main players will still use it, however. The official way beats these bootlegged methods like Pokecheck and all. I do like to use Pokecheck, but it's sometimes inconvenient, and it's not a distribution server anyways. It's good for checking legality of Pokemon and showcasing, though.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

  23. The new mega-evolutions are just fantastic! I do like how they gave the three starters a Mega-evolution: it makes for some good return of fan favourites and finally get the recognition they deserve. Lorshy doesn't seem to care, but eh, it's his loss I do wonder if Mega Evolution stat buffs aren't just mere additions to their base stats, but actual stage boosts from their regular stage, like a free Nasty Plot on a Mega Mewtwo or something. Can you imagine how broken that would be? Although, I doubt it's of that level, but I do hope it is significant enough to make an impact and not be inferior to Life Orb or something. Okay, Mega Venusaur looks like a downgrade from Dream World Venusaur, who literally murdered the entire fields of OU with Chlorophyll + Growth boosted attacks, along with Sleep Powder to incapacitate things that would cause trouble. But if you look closely, Mega Venusaur loses out on two of its weaknesses with Thick Fat, meaning it is only weak to Flying and Psychic moves now. Imagine this thing stalling out everything with its bloated defences with Leech Seed + Protect combinations with Toxic Spikes. It even eats Toxic Spikes, and now Fire and Ice moves will barely scathe it now. However, a swift Brave Bird or two will probably KO it, but not before it has done some damage with insane stalling. And even if it isn't stalling, I don't imagine it falling anytime soon, not with its ginormous offensive movepool in its hand. It can even switch off (if Mega Evolutions work this way) by being Mega when it needs to against a stall team while being offensive (using DW Venusaur) when needed (though it'd need to be paired with Ninetales and not Charizard for this role). However, it doesn't carry Leftovers/Black Sludge, which is bad in my opinion. It can recover with Synthesis and Leech Seed, I suppose, and Giga Drain, but even so, I still wonder due to the lack of item. Is it really an upgrade or a downgrade? You decide. It still needs support from other Pokemon, such as Toxic Spikes support and whatnot, and dealing with its weaknesses. It does look good, but sometimes, I wonder if another Pokemon is better for this role of the Mega on your team. I am a little upset it usurped Blastoise's role as defensive Pokemon, but what can you do? Venusaur might be a nice new addition for a change, and I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do. Now Charizard was the butt of every competitive battler's jokes... with it being SR weak along with a certain legendary blue bird and the likes... but look at what it got now! A form that looks awfully familiar to Digimon. Oh joy... anyways, are they becoming more liberal with these legendary exclusive abilities? Because they gave Drought and Drizzle to Ninetales and Politoed a generation ago, and now it looks like Charizard gets it. However, unlike Ninetales, Charizard doesn't need to be AS cautious when it comes to weather wars. When it comes into the field, it can instantly Mega-Evolve, destroy the foe that comes in (most likely Tyranitar or Politoed) and Solarbeam on the same turn, thus vanquishing a formidable foe. That is, unless the opponent has BOTH of them on the same team... which is possible, and this may give rise to sets such as Protect Politoed and the likes because now Charizard will bring in the sun. Ninetales still has a lot of advantages over Charizard in terms of movepool, being instant with the sun, and whatnot, but Charizard can play some interesting mind games now along with tearing up foes apart with its boosted Special Attack. Perhaps competitive battlers will be more kind towards Charizard, who knows? I'm sure the 9 year old kids will love it even more now. This Charizard may also be an ideal Pokemon for fanboys who like pairing their starters in a team. Imagine Mega Charizard and DW Venusaur on the same team: that Venusaur will start picking off where Mega Charizard left off... or Mega Charizard will burn down the whole forest by itself! Either way, this will be a very interesting addition to the metagame. I'm unsure, still, how much this SpA boost is... but I am having doubts whether it will make up for the loss of Solar Power and whatnot. Hey... what if it Mega-Evolves, switches out, and comes back in (DW Charizard mind you) and abuses Solar Power from then? That'd be interesting. Either way, the ferocious dragon starter does deserve this kind of revamp: I think Mega Charizard will have more impact on the metagame than ever before, especially due to how it activates its ability. This doesn't change the fact it gets destroyed by Stealth Rocks, however, so a good spinner is still needed (unless SR damage formula changed). Speaking of great spinners... here comes one! Though the sun would not benefit this guy in any way... but it still can take some things that Charizard hates. Venusaur can do it too, but what about having all three on a team? Unfortunately, only one can be Mega... and Charizard/Venusaur combo seems best so far. Blastoise... is just "there", but at least it can Foresight vs Ghosts. Hm, Blastoise is interesting. I mean, look at this guy: he has really really huge guns that resemble a tank. And though he is tanky defensively already, this is going to be the tank that takes hits AND blast foes to smithereens with its giga cannon. Mega Launcher is its ability, and it is a new one, yes. What it does, apparently, is boost "pulse-type attacks", such as "Dark Pulse" or "Water Pulse". It doesn't even learn Dark Pulse! Ick. Knowing Gamefreak, it's probably something lame like 20% boost like Iron Fist, which means Hydro Pump is still stronger than Water Pulse, and so is Surf. That is, unless, it also buffs moves that are in Blastoise's arsenal, such as Flash Cannon and the likes. In-game Blastoise trainers tend to pack Focus Blast on it as well. It even used to learn Zap Cannon in GSC event, though it's impractical, but still, Blastoise's movepool is very gun-like, so I hope those cannon moves get buffed too. Heck, I hope Hydro Pump gets buffed as well: that thing ought to be, really. If the buff is much bigger, as Mega Launcher sounds menacing, then Blastoise may be a threat to prepare for. Otherwise, mono-STAB can only get it so far and Gamefreak is trolling on the Water starter once more, AS USUAL. We don't even know which one of its stats Gamefreak is boosting either: I do have a feeling its slow speed and its tanky-like nature will bring it down. And that's not what I want on the original Water starter: it deserves more than that. I don't even know how this will compare to the usual Specstoise I use with Water Spout: that thing is dangerous and sweeps things late game: I've done it successfully multiple times. There's also Rain Dish Dream World Blastoise which makes a phenomenal supporter in the rain, although Tentacruel's better typing and Ludicolo's Leech Seed stalling makes them better in some aspects. I do think Blastoise needs to find a way to differentiate itself, and maybe with Mega Launcher, it can become a supportive Pokemon that finds a balance in defence and offence, like most Waters do with balance (what they mean by balanced stats with waters means "everything well rounded except speed"... unfortunately). I hope it can differentiate itself from the other bulky waters by being insanely powerful in Mega mode (Mega Launcher should be more than 20%... I really hope so... I want my mega powerful Hydro Pumps/Hyper Beams/Hydro Cannons please!). Yeah I know, you don't use Hyper Beam like moves in competitive, but that'd be awesome. Just think of the overkill damage you do to everything! Imagine that Mega Launcher has a built in Mold Breaker that goes through Water Absorb/Storm Drain... nah too broken. I don't know about Blastoise. We'll see where this one heads to, but I am hoping a lot of good things comes from Mega Blastoise and it isn't just another useless filler Pokemon with no role to differentiate itself and just there for nostalgia sakes.

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I understand. New Pokemon would have been nice: and seeing Ice failing (or getting a potential buff!) would have been nice too. UGH GAMEFREAK WHY TORMENT ME SO????!!!</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I can't even hack Pokemon ROMs to have Ice resist more types without sacrificing other relations, which would throw off the balance to everything, due to the way it is structured (as a list of relations and not a nice chart) -___-</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I hope I can help you understand later. It's good that you don't just accept things blindly: I hate those kinds of people. I admire people who are able to think for themselves. I'm still a bit of that hive mindset guy, to some extent (Asian culture, unfortunately), but I try to avoid following the trends of this world because I see how detrimental it is. I don't accept things as is, generally. Just looking at it from afar before going into "감동 mode": usually I'm very skeptical of anything at face value.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>The PokeBank thing is a Jewish ploy. They want money, but some people like to showcase their stuff and likes a digital cloud, so it's understandable. I guess I'll be still using Pokecheck and the likes if it's still around then. If not, then ick.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I do like the Megastarters: though it wasn't a big update I do like it. I like old Pokemon and such, and they even say you get the new starters and a choice b/w the old three starters. I'm going to love this game... maybe.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I care not if you're traditionalist or not. Most people I talk to aren't: in fact, I guess I'm the only one. I really think I am. And it goes too deep and too far, and that's why I live in this living hell where all that's right is wrong and all that's wrong is right... I won't get into it now. Maybe someday, it will be relevant to you. Actually, it already is pertinent to all.</p></p></p></p></p></p>
