No strategies? Mmf... it's either that or balanced teams, though I like strategies more because they're fun.

Nowhere near yours Mr. Montana. It's New York, where my family lives.

I'm in your time zone, remember? <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wacko.png" alt=":S" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wacko@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Magneton has a high Special Attack rating: it destroys a lot. Problem is limited movepool, especially in Gen III. Not even a secondary STAB was available for it there. And all Normal attacks that you'd get for coverage was Physical, even things like Tri Attack. That hurt Magneton's versatility: all you could use was things like Thunderbolt and probably other Electric moves. Though you could abuse Metal Sound and Thunderbolt combo, I guess. Or Thunder Wave unwanted stuff.

Yeah, I use Empoleon often on competitive teams, due to his unique typing and pretty good stats. I remembered his shiny wasn't actually purple and I went "oh"... but most of these blue Pokemons' shiny form is generally purple.

Interesting battle. I didn't even think about Justified + Beat Up strategy that the opponent did. What exactly is your team's strategy?

I keep coming back and forth, but even an year is long to me. I do live alone, but obligations to parents and such. And I knew I'd get bored as soon as I come here. Just two weeks to endure. Just two weeks... then I'm back to motherland. But I'll take this opportunity to study stuff and erm... see friends (what friends?)? Ha ha... I wonder if I can PO here. I don't have teams saved in here, so I'll start from scratch. Feel like coming online to tame my boredom anytime? I'll just study Japanese and Russian otherwise.

Whirlipede is too weak, but it's still kind of bulky. It won't learn Megahorn... you need to breed for that. Use X-Scissor instead... or just Steamroller and Poison attacks or something. Story gets better.

So I made it. I'm on the other side of the world. Now I must endure my family for two weeks... and hurriedly get back to Korea. USA is so dirty, especially that airport. I like Incheon Airport much better. Quite the cultural shock for me coming here after a LONG time. But I'll see what these 2 weeks will bring me. Losing confidence in my English speaking abilities to other people. Ick.

Scolipede is cool. I wonder how it works in-game.

No that thing is outdated. It's not exactly 1% as they claim. In fact, it's nowhere near as simple. This site even had a Munchlax tree calculator a long time ago... and did mention that Serebii was wrong on the 1% thing, but that was long ago. Funny how this was put in this site. But it might as well be 1% because of how rare that thing is.

Empoleon is cool.

Your Azurill is still an Azurill? I had an Azumarill... Aqua Tail/Return destroyed EVERYTHING. It was too easy with it <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure.png" alt=":/" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Colress is pretty cool... but I won't spoil anything. His theme with mechanical/electric Pokemon is a nice touch: I've been waiting for a trainer like that. You would like the bug gym... but those Harlequins... creepy as hack. Especially with those bug tubes. Elesa's "gym" made me laugh too... it's a dumb fashion show... with a whore in the end. The whole gyms doubling as a normal every day occupations building was my idea <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/sad.png" alt=":(" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That Volcarona you caught... there will later be a level 70 in its place... I think. Volcarona makes things too easy.

Got time for PO or something? I'm pulling an all nighter to catch a plane the next next day <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/mellow.png" alt=":|" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/mellow@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It actually wasn't 1% chance but something that is determined by your Trainer ID or something. It was rather complex... didn't even bother looking while your rival easily gets one. Platinum was okay with its large selection of Pokemon, perfect for competitive players, but the game was still quite boring. When I played Black and White, I felt like I was playing this:

</div>

Mmm. You should try the earlier games. I find the original Red/Green/Blue to be quite fine, except for the glitches and its overall limitedness. But it didn't feel so limited when I was little, and the 8 bit music is actually quite memorable.

I don't know.. that honey tree thing was too tedious. Didn't like how elusive Munchlax was either. The music was boring for DPP, the overall feel was just... "geek culture". Though it was good for many things. I'm not saying the game in itself was bad: it's just boring and not an adventurish game like the other Pokemon games. It was specifically designed for competitive battling and for the EV training geeks... though the newer games introduced different breeding mechanics or Power items for easier specific EV training and such, this was the start of it all, along with GTS and Wifi battling and trading. So it was innovative indeed, especially with physical/special split and evolving Pokemon for better competitive usage, but the game was boring and didn't feel like a Pokemon game. And yeah, characters in the game were downright ugly too.

Basically, FRLG are remakes of Red/Green versions, but it's just too dull and although it's not a bad game, as a remake, it could have been done a lot better. Much like how HGSS was to GSC (except I don't like the inclusion of Hoenn/Sinnoh Pokemon in HGSS). It's a lot like Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon... a terrible remake of FE1 and a wasted potential. Not a bad game as a whole, but a lot of its traits were just... laziness.

Ruby Sapphire... though it wasn't too great, I don't think it was downright horrible. The environment was exotic... in fact, it's probably the best I've seen in the Pokemon game history. There were some odd quirks, and strange eco-terrorist evil team and too many water routes, but I think it's generally underrated. Though there's a lot I don't like about RSE, but it was strangely innovative. Now DPP... that was some dull game.

July 23, 2013

Hoenn Pokemon? Most aren't available in FRLG: you need to trade for them. In fact, only ones available are the pre-evos of Johto Pokemon, Azurill and Wynaut. Azurill only in LG, I believe.

Oh. Oops. I meant teaching at elementary school will prepare for my future. I guess I can see where the confusion comes from. Looks like you had fun: it's always nice to see one is effective or bring happiness. Though I have problems with some kids nowadays. Just 10 years ago Korea was quite like the other places of Asia where most of the children were quite obedient. Now it is starting to look like a mess, mostly due to broken families (which is TYPICAL here now). But I will find out where this is headed, as I believe everything has a reason.

Hm. Well, my parents and my little brother live in America (yes I live alone). I'll be there for two weeks... I think. They just like America better. I can see why, but I cannot. I have ties to my own nation which I don't think I'll ever sever, even if it is rotting right now. Though honestly, there's not enough vacation time here. You Americans get much more leniency with school timing: my vacation is JUST starting <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wacko.png" alt=":S" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wacko@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Any particular reason why? I have some issues with it as well, as it is not like HGSS is to GSC.

Ok mate. Why are you searching FRLG boards for? Have you ever played it?

Lol. Older games almost always trump newer games in terms of difficulty. Also most modern games compromise gameplay for graphics or something stupid. It's very vain.

Yes you are Nazi.

^--- there's the team I was using against you. I tried against a few random people after you left (mostly Chinese)... sometimes worked, other times, hax backfired. But it worked very well in surprising folks and generally won due to that factor. If it wasn't for the surprise factor though, it has many many many gaping holes. Any other Pokemon you can think of that can surprise people potentially? And not something like Nasty Plot Weavile, though special Rampardos ACTUALLY works (believe it or not).

The Misfits

wraith89 posted a topic in Team Building Discussion

The Misfits Introduction: This is one twisted team. I don't even know if it synergises well, and for the most part, I found some of them awkward, hence their name. You will see why I call them the misfits. I don't believe this team would get you far up in the ladder, nor is it designed to even be used all that competitively. But I was bored, and so I remembered some of the strange sets I used to tinker around and said, hey why not just create a team out of those? And hence the Misfits are here. Objective of this team: To surprise the opponents using sets that nobody ever uses anymore, or just plain trolling. Some of it actually works at times. Here is a recent example of such event. Other Notes: This team was designed for Pokemon Online, a battle simulator for Generation I/II/III/IV/V Pokemon metagame. Since I do not possess this game none of this will be playable on Wifi. Nor do I have perfect IVs on anyone. Therefore, assume IVs are all 31 unless otherwise stated. Also assume they are all level 100. Don't expect this team to win most of the time: it's just for fun and a base for someone who wants to try implementing strange Pokemon sets into a team. Some of the names here have NSFW meanings I actually had different Pokemon on its first incarnation, but PO crashed in the middle and wouldn't restore it. So I had to make a fresh new one... and idk if it matches up with the other one I was intending on making, as it wasn't fresh on my mind, I could not recall it. The Misfits [hgsssprite]205[/hgsssprite] 무감정자 (쏘콘) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Rapid Spin - Volt Switch - Gyro Ball / Spikes - Stealth Rock / Spikes The name means "person without emotions"... hence "Emo", because he's sheltered in his little shell. He's the utility Pokemon, so he's probably the only "Normal" Pokemon here, with a typical set and EV spread. I don't have much to explain about this guy... he Rapid Spins the opponent's entry hazards and has his own Stealth Rocks to lay down. Volt Switch out if needed, while STAB Gyro Ball hits hard against faster opponents, which is invariably almost anybody you encounter that isn't Steelix or something. Make sure it has an IV of 0 on speed to maximise the damage output of Gyro Ball. Otherwise, feel free to use another spinner in its place if it doesn't appeal to you. [hgsssprite]227[/hgsssprite] 탈북자 (무장조) (F) @ Shed Shell Trait: Weak Armor EVs: 200 HP / 56 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Drill Peck - Night Slash / Steel Wing - Roost The nickname means "North Korean defector". Forretress and Skarmory on the same team? Okay, as soon as I saw a Weak Armour Dream World Skarmory, I was thinking if there was any way to salvage that, as Skarmory is usually relegated to a defensive pivot role. But she has access to Swords Dance! Though her attacks are kind of weak, they're there nonetheless. STAB Drill Peck comes with her in Dream World, while I'd run Steel Wing for STAB (and it might be of best interest as it also comes with a chance of raising Defence by one level), I just ran Night Slash because of pesky Ghosts. I wanted Brave Bird but that is hereditary and the recoil is too high. Though the attacks are moderate, they're good enough. Roost is there to recover off damage. Mind you, Skarmory is of Steel typing, so she can still take resisted hits quite well, even if she appears more plushy than usual. If you get this to work, it can do some unexpected damage. The speed may be a bit low, but switch into a physical touching attack and her speed should raise, though the defence drop is annoying. You can even switch to Adamant if you want for better power output, but the speed is quite crucial. I'll be honest though and I haven't really had much opportunities to use this one as other Pokemon did most of the work and didn't really let Skarmory do her thing. If that is the case, feel free to tack on a generic Choice Scarfer like Terrakion or Landorus or something, because this team lacks speed. [hgsssprite]186[/hgsssprite] 자살하고싶은자 (왕구리) (M) @ Salac Berry Trait: Drizzle EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Belly Drum - Waterfall - Return - Substitute That name means "suicidal person". I know, I'm crazy, perhaps mental, and I can't believe I'm doing this to one of my favourite Pokemon, but that's how it goes. Anyways, Politoed is well known for having Drizzle and is one of the more popular Pokemon in OU these days. Water Absorb Politoeds are never in use (not that they were used much long ago except from me or some other loony), so Drizzle is there to feign a typical Choice Scarfer/Spec/bulky Frog. But switch in to some obvious weakling of an attack like Flamethrower from a Choice locked Hydreigon or Heatran, Substitute on the switch, start Belly Drumming (hence suicidal) and watch as your opponent tries to switch in something to counter this. Note that this works best late game and not in the beginning, but if you must switch in Politoed early, hmm... I guess you can Waterfall but that kind of gives it away. Salac Berry should activate if done right, giving you a + 6/+1 frog that will deal loads of damage to its foes. Also, Waterfall is powered up by STAB and Drizzle, so there's not much asides from Water Absorbers/Storm Drainers and such that will live to tell the tale. Return is for coverage, but feel free to run Ice Punch, Earthquake, Bulldoze, or anything of that effect, but it's the best I can think of for coverage. Or you can run Scald to feign a bulky frog (actually not a bad idea) but you will lack coverage. Or Focus Blast or some other special attack, I suppose. In that case run another nature like Naive or Naughty. You can even run Water Absorb but people will question you then... though you can easily say "oops wrong ability". But because of that surprise factor, I specifically put another Water Pokemon in the team to help alleviate that. [sprite]272[/sprite] 마약 중독자 (로파파) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Rain Dish EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Leech Seed - Toxic - Substitute - Dive / Protect The name means Drug Addict. I'm so evil. This was a popular set back in Advance, where Divecolo was quite evil. Though Dive probably isn't practical now, seeing as Surf can still hit it while under, for double damage, along with the rain powering it up. But Ludicolo is 4x resistant to water, so it should not be too bad. Swift Swimmers cannot be in the same team as Drizzle Pokemon, so you really don't have much choice but to Rain Dish. But that doesn't matter: that's what this guy is doing anyways. Tentacruel and Ferrothorn counters this set HARD, but other than that, this guy will prove to be a nuisance to the enemy. I don't really have to explain much. Force out a switch, Substitute, Seed/Toxic... it will quickly add up and get annoying. You can replace Dive with Protect... in fact, I'd recommend that. But it becomes a Taunt bait. Not that people expect Taunt bait Ludicolo... [hgsssprite]038[/hgsssprite] 매춘부 (나인테일) (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Drought EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 80 SDef / 40 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Substitute - Swagger - Foul Play - Flame Charge Ninetales's nickname? Oh boy... let's say a nicer form of it is "a hooker". All right. Here comes the very Pokemon that inspired me to do this. I know Liepard does this better thanks to STAB Foul Play, better speed, Prankster, and access to Thunder Wave, but this is at the very least quite unexpected of Ninetales. Ninetales also boasts the ability to force switches out on things and an arguably "better defensive typing", even if Fire isn't known for defence. I also wanted to utilise Ninetales's versatility, as she can do many things with that large trickster of a movepool, but nobody really does that and goes out of their way to do something like this. Basically, force out a switch, Substitute, and people will be quite confused. Okay, a defensive set. Will she Calm Mind? Nope, Swagger. Swagger? What? Why Swagger when you have Confuse Ray? Swagger is 90% accurate, but still it does one thing that Confuse Ray doesn't: + 2 attack, which means more risky things for the foe. After you accumulate enough Swaggers on the foe (if it doesn't switch out), use Foul Play and watch them take so much damage they will go "WHOA WHAT WAS THAT??" Flame Charge is there for STAB (lol) because after one Flame Charge speed boost Ninetales will hit 405 speed, enough to outpace many things... but after 2 you'll basically outspeed everything that isn't Unburden Sceptile at max speed. Pranksters and Taunt will put an end to this strategy, but once you surprise that Gyarados that switches in (as a lot of Pokemon in this metagame tends to max attack), and if Lady Fortuna is on your side, this will take down at least one Pokemon. Beware of Roar or Whirlwind. Skarmory isn't going to switch in to Ninetales, however, in fear of Flamethrower or Fire Blast. They won't in the long run... until you reveal her full set. Drought also powers up Flame Charge (again lol) but remember it also masks Ninetales's true intentions. You can run Flash Fire if you want to "hard counter" Volcarona, but that kind of thing works better with CM + Psyshock variant Ninetales. It's unexpected to say the very least, but quite hilarious at the same time. In Team Preview, people will wonder what you are thinking when you put a Politoed and Ninetales on the same team. It can happen folks: it can happen. By the way, Liepard does this much better, except it is quite expected of it (so people will find counters to it), while Gengar with the same type of moveset has the best speed (though no Prankster) and has the defensive typing to force out many Pokemon (though DisableGar is probably best for it). Those are some other options. [sprite]373[/sprite] 골목대장 (보만다) (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spd Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Wish - Protect - Dragon Pulse - Flamethrower The name means Alley Boss, though I really meant "Bully". Yes, Salamence is a bully, except this one is a strange one and is a nurturer. Wish Salamence? Crazy, I know. It's an event Bagon from Gen III, and is very atypical of the sweeper Salamence you see often. But somebody needs a real Fire move like Flamethrower, so here's the dragon that will do it. And with max HP/Def and intimidate you can bet this is very very bulky. It will take Durant's Stone Edge like a boss (though with SR it will probably OHKO at +1/-1) and still does decent damage with Dragon Pulse STAB and Flamethrower. It's strange, but still does her job, as she resists Grass, Bug, Fighting, Fire, Water and Ground (immunity) attacks. I mean, you can go ahead and replace it with a typical Chansey or something, but what's the fun to that? Most of this team is full of unexpected surprises, so what is there not to like?

If you've played HG, the old GSC would look a little too ancient and incomplete in many ways because of their lack of space for certain areas like in Kanto, but overall those are some nice games. I like RGBY for its music and nostalgia... and its broken mechanics.

I don't like the DPP arc... though it is the most competitively friendly for those who want to competitively train their Pokemon, its music is boring, its story is bland, and is generally "geek culture".

You know me as Wraith, but you can also call me "Dear Leader" or "Supreme Leader", as I rule Best Korea.

I see. It looks like you have a lot to do for the summer. At least you are ambitious, somewhat.

Let's get to know each other a little more. Erm... I don't really have anything particular to ask, so this is awkward. Okay, so you have played everything past BW I presume (which just means B2W2). Have you ever thought of playing the old games?

Also how am I supposed to address you as? Just Lego? Or what?

I have been quite busy lately. So much going on when you have to manage a bunch of children (no, they're not MY children, just elementary students). It's all I can do for now if I want to start some form of a future: teach at elementary school. Korea is all about education unfortunately... which I don't approve of. But this is how it is. It may sound like a sin, but unlike North America, we still have school in July. Vacation isn't even vacation as high school kids still go to school from 8:30-4ish (usual time is until 10 PM). It reeks of elitism here. How about you?
