I honestly don't know how you guys got through the game without getting a squad.

Yarrun XIX · 2016-06-11 03:41:40

It's not even about beating the game. It's, like, your squad. Your team. Your nakama

if you have a pokemon with 10-ish levels on their dudes all you need is a good STAB move and a few things to cover your other bases

they wont even have time to respond

my elite 4 team in gen 3 was blaziken

nothing else, just fuckin blaziken, was level 100 by the time I was done
every elite four team for me was

* starter (or something that replaced the starter along the way)

* the legendary i caught and one other dude who could tank a hit while i healed

I'd like to believe that I didn't use groudon but realistically I probably did

You haven't lived until you've had a heart-pounding, thrilltastic Metapod vs. Metapod battle.

Tachyon · 2016-06-11 03:43:06

OK but aurora sauropod

auroropod

tbh though i really couldn't pick between the two, they're both dinosaurs and that's great

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-06-11 03:43:47

I want Sail Dino to read me bedtime stories and be my cool Pokemom.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-06-11 03:43:49

let us discuss these Pokemon, which made up my Hall of Fame team in X:

Alakazam

Tyrantrum

Charizard

Florges (Orange Petals)

Greninja

Vivillon (Polar Pattern)

no like i did

that's why i felt bad for over-relying on my starter

I had a vhs of that episode of the anime and have hence seen it numerous times despite not really watching the anime otherwise

I'm pretty sure that my team, at some point, devolved into my Blaziken and 4 or 5 legendaries

it's me and my lovingly doted upon team of exactly one member

i still remember my Dragonite from Sliver, i had restarted the game so many times, i was NEVER able to beat the elite four, but he finally carried me through

god bless him

running out of literally everything to do in that game was fucking heartbreaking

Fossilmaiden · 2016-06-11 03:46:02

Also better than Tyrantrum, but is not a fossil:

who needs a squad when you have karate chicken

also I like how a thread titled "dog" has turned into a general pokemon discussion

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-06-11 03:49:29

Iwanko is still really cute.

Having mostly settled that, the conversation has quickly migrated elsewhere.

two pages late but hanna-barbera wants a word with you

Tachyon · 2016-06-11 03:52:55

confession: i cheated, so my team included a shiny Celebi

i know that's bad, but, how else was i going to get a Celebi? i couldn't just *not* get one

Hanna-Barbera did not design infinite dogs. My point stands.

moved the response to my personal thread so as not to keep derailing this one

aight so this can just be the POkemon thread now I guess if that's cool

Klinotaxis · 2016-06-11 04:03:18

i don't have either of those videoed games, now do i

Salix Babylonika · 2016-06-11 04:04:55

Vivillon's gimmick of having a different wing pattern based on where you bought your 3DS is still brilliant.

I need to get me some non-Polar Vivillons before Gen VII comes out.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-06-11 04:09:28

No? OK then.

Klinotaxis · 2016-06-11 04:10:22

Yarrun XIX · 2016-06-11 04:18:52

Which region do you have to go to to get the loss.jpg version?

Certainly the top fossil Pokemon.

if you picked this living ship sail over the t-rex dragon I'm surprised we have enough in common to even be able to speak the same language

Also, what kind of person complains about too many dogs?

As if it weren't a known quanitity that dogs are the most widely relatable animal to humans because we specifically selected them to breed due to how easy it is to empathize with their expressions (which are in many cases, similar to human expression). There's a difference between running out of ideas (hey guys let's make this Zelda boss exactly like that one we've done two or three times before,) and creating more options for players involving a relatable basis. (Like dogs? You can have a whole dog team.)

Tachyon · 2016-06-11 04:34:27

i'm more of a cat person

Salix Babylonika · 2016-06-11 04:35:13

there are also a lot of cats

Yarrun XIX · 2016-06-11 04:35:39

Quite possibly too many cats

Epitome · 2016-06-11 04:35:56

never too many cats

LOAD Cherry · 2016-06-11 04:36:16

Ah, that is fair.

I was gonna ask if we had enough housecat sized mons for a Crazy Cat Lady team, but I realized we do:

Meowth
Skitty
Glameow
Purrloin
Espurr
Litten

too many cats (tooooo many cats)

Tachyon · 2016-06-11 04:39:53

Espurr is so great

Klinotaxis · 2016-06-11 04:40:00

needs another million nematodomons

Tachyon · 2016-06-11 04:41:07

i demand equal representation for all species, domesticated or otherwise

i'm sick of this anthropocentric bias it's a disgrace i tell you

LOAD Cherry · 2016-06-11 04:41:10

More crow mons would be nice. And a fox mon that isn't a moderately usable fire type (or Zoroark).

glennmagusharvey · 2016-06-11 04:42:30

> Whitney's Miltank and Rollout

Funny thing is that this time around I'm prepared for it because I got creamed by it in a past life last time I played gen 2.

Except I got creamed by Bugsy's Scyther and Fury Cutter instead.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-06-11 05:35:54

Pokemon ROM randomizers are the greatest thing in this world.

Tachyon · 2016-06-11 05:40:11

the dragon type pokemon axew to choose a pokemon

Salix Babylonika · 2016-06-11 05:40:58

It makes a bit more sense when you realize you're looking at what would be two seperate screens on an actual console.

The other two were Magby and Weedle, by the way.

Tachyon · 2016-06-11 05:42:09

i was just making a lame pun
