All right guys, I transferred over my Arceus from the DW event, and I don't know what I should EV train it in. OFC I can't use it competitively, but until I give it the right EVs, I don't want to use it, and so far it's just been stuck in the PC.

Because of Judgement I'm guessing Spec. attack, but not sure about the rest.

If you're going physical, 252 Attack and 252 Speed. If you're going special, 252 Sp. Attack and 252 Speed. Check its nature and see whether it'd work better as a physical or special attacker, because it excels at both.

So the other day a friend of mine got really cocky about their Pokémon team so I smashed them 6-0 with my arsenal of lovelies.
Today he came up to me and told me that he wasn't the one battling me, and that he secretly made me battle his friend who claimed to be a 'Pokémon expert' that could easily take me down.

Isn't it just awesome to dominate someone really arrogant at their own game?

It's funny how some people regard themselves as experts at this game, when most of the time they aren't that good. lt's sort of like 3 levels of trainers from what I've seen. lv. 1 trainers who don't know much, lv. 2 trainers that understand the game, and lv. 3 trainers that take their knowledge and strategy to competitive levels.

I think lv. 2 trainers have a harder time because they get stuck in a spot where they can beat the casual player and get a false sense of being an expert, but lose to an actual expert player easily. It can be a real eye opener, that's for true.

Sometimes I think I'm a 3, but then a real 3 comes along and shows me I'm a 2.
Whatever you are, I'd be below you! Haha.
I'd regard you as a real 3. Hell, you breed for IVs! I'd never really taken their existence into account much until we did that Little Cup Tournament!

In the competitive scene it's assumed that every player has perfect stats, be it from breeding, hacks, or using simulators (the latter methods being perfectly acceptable and encouraged). Having perfectly raised Pokemon is just your ticket to the competitive environment; it's a long way from actually being good at the game.

what. the hell. is so popular about twitch plays pokemon.

Nostalgia.
Also, it's hilarious to see 80.000 people try to get over a ledge for 8 hours.

I tried to watch the match against the champion but I couldn't make myself endure the utter chaos. The only redeeming thing was that Venemoth that somehow beat a Dragonite.

Apparently feraligatr (Lazargatr) almost got released for being too OP. Togepi (Prince Omlette) got cast off instead.

Why am I breathing so heavily?

Watched some of the highlights and basically the only reason Totodile evolved into Croconaw at all was because the battle prior ended in Democracy mode and the last vote was "a9".

Totally random quote from the Reddit:
Before, we hated Eevee for forcing us to release our starter. Now, we love Eevee and want to release our starter.

There's also comments that there isn't as much stray jumping-off-ledges in G2 as there was in G1.

Holy crap. I just got a shiny umbreon off of the gts. And it's 5iv. (-spatt)

I'm keeping him. I remember someone here mentioned he's like from trop. Lol. He actually does.

I finally tried EV training by sweet scent/hoardes and power items today.

Oh my god, I am never super training again.

I just watched Pokemon Movie 3, with the Entei...

Holy shit. That was completely twisted and dark. Let's just kill off all this little girl's emotional attachments one by one, give her ultimate power to toy with the world, let her loose to mess with other people's lives; and then when she's nearly destroyed everything, let's convince her everything she has faith in is an illusion she's built for herself, kill her "father" again, and deprive her of all the people she'd became familiar with. >_>

The movies can be pretty disturbing at times. In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, I was convinced that most of the characters were dead when they got absorbed by the tree. It freaked me out a bit.

The whole kidnap, rape, clone and replace plot from Mewtwo VS Mew was pretty hard even without Mewtwo's rather dark backstory.

pokemon for kids is a wondrously happy series. the undertone gives just about every character a suicidal-worthy backstory

I kinda think that the flaws of the Pokémon TV show lie in the childish elements. Even as an 8 year-old I was embarrassed to be seen watching a programme in which the creatures yelled their own names and the main character was so naive it seemed like he had severe amnesia.

omg, I'm remembering how true it is that team rocket breaks the fourth wall all the time.

"James: why didn't we just do this from the beginning?"

"Jesse: we have to fill a half hour"
