Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I have some not great shinies. Galvantula and Frillish are okay, but neither of mine have great stats.

With shinies, it's not about the stats, It's about having them.

Thanks! Do you mean my name or the character's name?
Derjuin is just a reference to a badly written college acceptance letter (I turned them down (i probably shouldnt have but w/e)). The character's name is a sekret :::;).
ION, my friends now make fun of me for EV training and IV-obsessing, but I can't get it out of my head. Even when I play a new game I look at the pidgey I'm farming and I'm like "...I'm going to have a -really fast- feraligatr." About shinies, I tend to agree - unless it's a guaranteed one (like red gyarados), it's about having em. What I don't understand is when I see people online with nothing but shinies on their team. Shiny Hydreigon, Landorus, Snorlax...all with just the right IVs, EVs and natures. :smallsigh:

Someone was complaining about how good/bad their shinies were. I was commenting that mine aren't much better.

And I found my first Black version shiny pokemon the other day! A shiny...*gasp* Audino!

I was hunting for 6 HP EVs for Heracross...and it turned up shiny. I just couldn't KO it :smalltongue:.
.... I kinda wanna make the little online card things that list your Pokemon team, and put it in my profile.
And you shouldn't want to kill Audino anyway!

But her dress is so much prettier Purple than Red! :smallbiggrin:

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Am I the only person on earth who actually likes the Zubat line? It was on me team in Red version way back, and now I run one in any Johto or Kanto game. :smallamused:

I'm also kinda interested in that. I made mine in photoshop for use as a facebook cover, but something I could just plug data into would be nice.

Zubat are easy to catch, a little weak to begin with, and have one of the most viable poison types in pretty much every generation as a final evolution.
They're also in every damn game pretty damn early. I can safely say that Zubat is my FAVORITE non-Scyther pokemon.

Eh. Nidoking was my poison type, and Charizard my flying. Confusion Hax cemented what would have been passive disinterest into hatred.

I honestly just googled "Trainer Cards". Once I start playing again, I'll probably go through with it.

I want one that might let me use a custom sprite, for say an OC. I've seen so many awesome things photoshop is used for, I should get it...

I hated Zubat.... until Crowbat, at least. Crowbat's kinda cool... but when it first came out.... freaking Mt Moon, man.... *insertZubatcryhere* *twitch twitch*

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Crobat made the Zubat line usable in-game for a few reasons. The most important, however, was that it allowed them to learn Fly, thus making them actually useful for beating the game by not taking up a slot without providing any space for HMs.
Golbat was awful in R/B both because Poison and Flying were not very good types and because Golbat itself had bad stats compared to a lot of usable Pokemon and didn't learn any HM moves, thus making it a poor choice for both fighting and traveling.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I just got swept on the Battle Subway by a trick room bronzong.
I'm not sure how I feel about this XD

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Despite all the things you prepare for, there's always going to be something that can defeat you. Unless you cheat or hack and make things that shouldn't be possible possible.
-
Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
It was actually pretty hilarious. It got consecutive OHKO critical hits with rock slide against my Scizor and Chandelure, and my Gliscor literally couldn't hurt it (earthquake/toxic/substitute/protect).

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Wow. "Random wilds"? Try "Heatran in Slowpoke Well". And I beat it by accident.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
So, my sojourn away ended up more as a Pokemon-fest... Between weather, and a familarity-induced, shut-down lethargy that sometimes plagues me when I go to Abersoch, I ended up doing quite a bit of playing...
I have now officially, after what, seven years-odd, finally completed all the Generation III games. (Bar the shouting.) My Emerald team finally made it past the League (not easy, since they were a non-EV trained group of Seviper, Whiscash, Typhosion, Swellow, Sableye and Septile, requiring me to hit level 55 after the last time, when Drake's Kingdra swept us...) My FireRed team, consisting of Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, Alakazam, Parasect and Rapidash barely blinked a collective eyelid (possibly because, while not EV trained, as four out of six were carefully bred trades...)
I chunked a good way through Pearl (and stopped until I could work out where to get my last prospective team-member, Riolu before I went too far, which I have now), found a couple more sages in Black, finally snagged a passable Petilil and Venepede (now working on Frillish) in White, and sent another thirty or so Pokemon to HG from Gen III, so that I can eventually send up to Black, finish a couple of bioxes off, transfer them to White, and have some space back...!)
So now I can do a bit of trading through GoD and breed the last handful of Pokemon (Kabuto/Charmander/Treeko) line and my Gen III Pokedex will be as complete as it's ever going to get.
-
Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I am so close to finishing the Kanto dex. Does anyone have any of these evolutionary lines for trade?
Bulbasaur
Charmander
Oddish
Voltorb
Lapras
Mr. Mime
Electabuzz
Magmar
Mewtwo

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Hey you guys know what would be fun?
ROUND 2 OF BOJO'S COMMUNITY TEAM CHALLENGE!
How it works for those who forgot: the first 7 Pokemon posted by the forum will make a team and one alternate. I will then use this team for the next month on PO (30 days)
The only rules are: 1) no ubers 2) must be fully evolved
You have 3 days to give me a Pokemon, and should you desire, movesets, natures, ev/iv s and items.
Since I have a YouTube channel now, I can actually upload the battles instead of a long winded, yet admittedly fun play by play.
I put my fate in your hands

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
So, an update on my Dragons Exalted pre-release pulls.
Out of 8 packs total, I got zero EXs.
My friend got Registeel EX Fullart and Terrakion EX, and my other friend got a plain Registeel EX.
I did, however, get the new Garbadore, Beautifly, and Sigilyph(the one that takes no damage or anything from EXs!).
And the Gothitelles with Doom Demise, Shedinjas, and Ninjasks.
I got the cards I wanted that weren't the EXs >~<

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
So far you folks have suggested my BW1 RU team :smallwink:
Any particular movesets?
-
Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Rapidash.
Because Ponyta/Rapidash will always hold a special place in my heart, because the episode The Flame Pokémon-athon! was the first time I saw Pokemon; I was ill at he time and desparate for something to watch. So I watched Pokemon, was baffled by what was going on, but thought it sort of okay - until the climax, where Ponyta evolved. And at that point, I was completely and hopelessly hooked. (It was one of the more spectacular moments of the series, I think. The epic music helped!)
I will leave others to suggest moves or natures (not being a competative player myself!) - and as my priorly mentioned Rapidash is Gen III. (It does have Hypnosis though, which is kinda cool!)

I would be greatly amused if you managed to pull off an agility/electro ball moveset.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
You should run crustle with:
Adamant
Lum Berry
172 HP/252 Atk/84 Spe
Spikes/Stealth Rock/X-Scissor/Stone Edge
EDIT: Completely off-topic, but I just wanted to express how much I love the winter Unova Route 3 music compared to the rest of the seasons.

Stunfisk.
Or the Luvdisc-evo-that-isn't-a-Luvdisc-evo.
Oh, and you reminded me of that BW run I was doing with a set team! Now, where did I leave the game card...
