Yeah Tobias was some bullshit. I was really hoping for Paul to go down like a bitch in round 1 and have the big battle between Ash and Barry (the best rival ever). At least the bullshit Paul ripoff in Best Wishes went down like a bitch in round 1. Also I'm doing my first Nuzlocke ever in Y and I just lost my Butterfree  RIP.Does tipping actually do anything?

I stopped being invested in the anime when Dawn let go of her Ambipom so it could have a career in the world of national Ping-Pong tournaments

Ping Pong is an honorable sport and it sounds like the anime's biggest mistake was not focusing on Ambipom after that point.

Sun Lion basically being a Lion Mecha is a good justification for it being Steel I think.

Dexie posted:Ash is going to win this time, I think. He has the most powerful team he's ever had, made completely out of fully evolved monsters. He's mastered the synchro stuff with his Greninja and its Ash form. Plus, we seem to know all the entrants into the League this time, and they're all people he's fought before, so no stupid surprise entrants like goddamn Tobias. Or the Ash-Greninja thing will go horribly wrong mid-match, and Ash will lose and head off to Hawaii to learn more about the mysteries of Pokemon fusion.

Is it possible the signature move could ignore enemy abilities and count as Fire-type? I don't think Steel or Psychic have any abilities that interact with them, but being able to shoot through Flash Fire & Thick Fat could be marginally useful, at least.

The only reason to use Mega Slowbro as far as I'm aware is if you want to use a Calm Mind set. The reason for this is because Mega loses Slowbro's Regenerator ability in favor of the much more esoteric Shell Armor (can't be crit) ability. Basically Mega Slowbro is a win condition who you deploy once your opponent's whirlwind/roar/dragon tail users are gone and any big threats to Mega Slowbro's safety are taken care of, instead of simply being a really strong physical wall who you switch in and out a lot like regular Slowbro is. I think standard is like, Psyshock, Scald, Calm Mind, Slack Off.

Y'know the only decent pokemon based stories/media I've seen in the last few years are nuzlocke based comics and couple original webseries. At the very least there's good options as opposed to the never ending fail parade that is the anime.

Since Solgaleo is Steel type, it will replace Aegislash as the Metal Tiger in my Pokemon Zodiac. Rowlet's evolution will also replace Tropius as the Wood Rooster. I hope Litten ends up turning into a Ground type.

Ruggington posted:we're like a page separated from talking about special I have mixed feelings about pokemon special. Yes I've read it. Some of it is loving fantastic (especially the early parts) some of it bothers me immensely. Archie and Maxie's portrayal for instance and whatever nightmarish poo poo was up with Norman that they tried to pass off as totally realistic parenting. Just...some bits of it stick in my craw and I know it's pretty beloved here so I was trying to keep my mouth shut. Not nuts about Gen 5's character portrayal either now that I think of it....

Blackheart posted:Would mega Aggron be as good as him if he had some decent recovery move? Hard to say, really. Mega Aggron can still be crit even though Filter reduces his weaknesses to a more manageable level, especially if Special. But Slowbro has lower physical defense with higher HP. I think what really makes Slowbro stand out as "better" besides Slack Off is that he gets Scald and can actually deal some damage with it, AND burning a Physical attack basically doubles its' physical defense. Nothing quite like burning a Bisharp on the switch. Knock Off ain't so great now  EDIT: But to be absolutely fair, whereas Slowbro is weak to Ghost and Dark, Aggron has no resistance to them. So Shadow Ball might hurt Mega Slowbro more, but Mega Aggron isn't exactly stopping it. Classtoise fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Jun 4, 2016 |
