The Pokemon Thread

I'm an all water trainer, so Karen would love me bunches.

 

[Seekrit]

I have my most favourite derps trying to adorable you into submission c:

I am interested in learning more about the metagame, but not to Smogon levels.

 

[Harbinger]

My team just contains the pokemon i think look the most bad ass, i lose every single battle i ever play. I cant be bothered to fully research all the EV training or whatever, but i am sick of having super effective moves do nothing against their pokemon, and then not very effective moves near enough wipe out mine.

 

[Stratelier]

Super Training screen, use it.

 

[Harbinger]

Super Training screen, use it.

I did, maxed out my main party pokemon.

 

[Seekrit]

Fuck it, I'm breeding a team of ultimate furrets.

So, the big question for you all:Are you a "Karenfag" ("Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.) meaning you use what you like, regardless of how good they are i.e. someone who uses Ariados, Exeggutor, Cacturne, etc.Or are you a "Smogonfag", better known as a Munchkin or Powergamer, who prefers to use what is strong despite them not being your favorite.I subscribe very much to the former, I'm not a competitive gamer in general but I still enjoy battling. Despite that I lose 9/10 times haha

I won't lie- I use Pokemon that are strong, but I don't like using ones that are overly cliché. I'm talking Lucario, Tyranitar, Garchomp, Hydreigon, and some various others that most fans swarm over because they look badass.
Admittedly, I do use strong pokemon in order to win, but I like using ones that I think are quirky and interesting. Like Porygon-z and Dusclops, for example. Not to mention giving them silly nicknames.

I use the Pokemon I like...
I lose a lot, but sometimes, just once, I win!

So, I'm looking for an iron fist conkeldurr to add to my roster. Would anyone happen to have any of that evolutionary line in their friend safaris? I've got a fair few good things to trade with, if anyone would be willing to catch me a HA timburr/gurdurr. :3

pikachu is kind of a bitch

 

[Stratelier]

I am really, really starting to hate Rock Slide in Double Battles....

 

[Jags]

To be fair, I feel like doing this much of the time, especially if I catch any Jeremy Kyle.

 

[Harbinger]

Ok so fuck battlling forever.
Im only putting up with it thinking that if i do it enough i might gain some friends via the PSS for the friend safari.
Not only am i not getting the option to add them 90% of the time but i havent won a single game, its pathetic.
You would have thought i might find at least one kid that isnt some suped up demigod player.

Yeah, that's why I haven't played in a few weeks either. x:

I might actually enjoy battles more when I lose. It's so tense when I'm losing pokemon quickly and I need to work out what to do.

I decided to start breeding for a 5 or 4 IV Honedge with zero IVs in speed. My second egg from one pair (because I don't want to inbreed) gave my every IV that needed to cross over but gave me the wrong gender. Mean game. D:<

Earlier I was hunting for some high IVed dittos (I did eventually get two 3 IVs with one having a zero in speed) and I got ambushed by a shiny one. It didn't have imposter, but I was able to trade it for a cute shiny Galvantula. X3

It feels more like this...

I just had another battle (lost of course) but i actually enjoyed it, i actually knocked out a couple of his pokemon and damaged the rest, it was a close-ish game. Every other time its just the exact same forumala, super effective attacks do nothing, not very effective attacks wipe mine out. I swear everyone always has a Blaziken, Xerneas, and Lapras on their team aswell for some reason.

Is that why you ditched your own tournament? I mean winning the thing was kinda anti-climactic since only Reno even adknowledged that I won.

I use Aegislash; I can breed you one if you'd like. Brave with perfect HP/Att/Def/SpD and 0 speed.

I know I only battled you yesterday, but I've forgotten a lot about your team. One of the biggest mistakes I spotted though was the fact that you were using Thunder on Aggron. Its attack stat is around double its special attack, so even if your Thunder was super effective, a regular-matchup earthquake would be highly likely to do more damage.

The tournament did just kinda fizzle out. I kept checking back at it but then eventually forgot about it because nothing was happening. Sorry I forgot to congrat you. ^^;

It's ok, I want to breed my own line. :3

...That finished? I am behind the curve.

Well done Senor Rob!

 

[SirRob]

Thanks, 'though now I feel guilty for playing the victim. I'll just uh, I'm good now. Thanks.

Foxes are always victimized, for some reason

I think it's a conspiracy.

 

[Arcane Reno]

Personally, I enjoy just trying different wacky combinations for the hell of it. I don't care if they're all that viable or not, it's just fun to try. For example, I've got a trick room team up and running, and it's only won a couple times, but it's the mind games of it that make it enjoyable to run with. Right now, I'm working on a sunny day team, and next is a rain dance team, now that Sixy figured out the best way to find the HA 'mon in a horde. :3

Anyhoo, anyone on the HA timburr line?

Also, I still intend to organize a little cup tournament! I'll probably wait until after Christmas to do it though, since many folks are away for the holidays and such.
