Criticals are based on the Speed stat in Gen 1 and Persian takes advantage of that fact.

IIRC due to gen 1 weirdness, crit was tied to speed and Persian was fast enough to exploit this by having Slash crit all the time.

Because its Slash attack crits every time and ignores stat changes (like lowered Attack or boosted Defense)

Golem and Rhydon are really good since they don't take much from Explosion and stop Zapdos in its tracks.

GOOD LUCK!!
I think instead of getting Yellow, I'm getting Omega Ruby since I haven't played that one yet.

Is there a reason to not get Pokemon as a digital download besides space? I have an 8 gig card, that's big enough right?

I figured it would be good to have it digitally since I have X as a cartridge and then I could have both games on me without carrying anything else. But I wanted to check to see if I wasn't overlooking any advantages of having a physical copy.

In addition to having guaranteed Crit STAB Slash it can also learn Bubblebeam from Misty's TM to gently caress up any Rock types they try to bring in as a countermeasure.

The SuMo announcement got me back into the Pokémon playing mood, and oh my! :dance:



I hatched about 400 Mawile eggs over the course of a couple of weeks when I was still playing Pokémon Y sometime last year trying to get a shiny, but to no avail. This week I finally got one after about 100 hatches!

This is my first shiny Pokémon ever. Shiny Mega Mawile looks so cute! :3:

Y'know what would be pretty sweet? If they bring back the secret base thing in Sun and Moon but tweak it a bit so it's a little more sophisticated. Like you can use your pokemon to alter the landscape a bit like in minecraft. Or hell give it mini kitchen or something so you can cook or juice berries and so on. Ah, the combination of my two favorite time wasters, I'd probably never leave the house again. :3:

Isn't that a hidden ability? I thought you couldn't breed those unless you already had one with it

This was true until Gen 6, where male and genderless pokemon have a 20% chance to pass down their hidden ability if bred with a Ditto. Still has the requirement that hidden abilities never occur randomly when breeding.

I had a Japanese father, 6 IV. Mother was shiny(not that it matters) 5 IV with poison heal. Both has the right nature. It was so sad. I just want a blue gliscor with poison heal and good ivs/nature

Is there anything potentially useful or interesting to transfer over from RBY or is it mainly a nostalgia trip? I guess getting ahold of Mew isn't terrible.

Boo to the guy dissing on Gen 1.

And for you all that don't care about transfers your phone with an emulator acts as a free gb-gba. You also get the benefit of x2 speed which helps a lot with the slow speed of the originals. I played all of yellow and Ruby with animations over the last two weeks and it was badass.

My critique of yellow is that since you get all of the starters there isn't much motivation to catch a bunch of mons and makes the game feel too easy. I would play red or blue if I were to do it again.
