So before I sink three hours into it, did anyone watch that GDQ live speedrun of Emerald and was it worth watching? Direct link: https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick/v/113536780?t=11h40m00s

In no particular order: (Oricorio) (F) @ Charti Berry Ability: Dancer EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Revelation Dance - Hurricane - Tailwind - Protect I want to believe in the Dancer. Hurricane is mostly useless. I'm gonna replace it with Air Slash. Tailwind is always good. (Tapu Lele) @ Assault Vest Ability: Psychic Surge EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Dazzling Gleam - Energy Ball - Psyshock - Thunderbolt Got to have some Terrain support, if only to mess with someone else's team. Being able to juke Aqua Jets is good stuff. (Torkoal) @ Heat Rock Ability: Drought EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Lava Plume - Protect - Yawn - Sludge Bomb Drought setter. Bulky, and people don't seem to realize that it's SpecD deficient. Yawn support is always good. (Volcarona) @ Life Orb Ability: Flame Body Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Quiver Dance - Bug Buzz - Flamethrower - Giga Drain One of the lead. Sun-boosted Flamethrowers are tough, and if they can let me get up Oricorio-mimicked Quivers, it might as well be GG. (Venusaur) @ Venusaurite Ability: Chlorophyll EVs: 252 HP / 132 Def / 72 SpA / 52 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Giga Drain - Sludge Bomb - Sleep Powder - Protect Usually used for speed-boosted Sleep Powders, but Mega-ing is a good trap card as an anti-ice defense. (Gastrodon) @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Storm Drain EVs: 232 HP / 176 Def / 48 SpA / 52 SpD Quiet Nature - Scald - Earth Power - Ice Beam - Recover Water sucker, Ice Beamer. Scald and EQ have been used, like, twice, ever. Lead with Volcarona and Torkoal. Volcarona melts something, Torkoal Yawns or switches into Tapu/Oricorio. The Tapu and Gastrodon are my anti-drizzlers. Biggest problems are stupid fucker things that should be banned already. (Sidebar: give me a metagame that has no legendaries.) I think I could lose Oricorio -- I want Knock Off support. And something that can deal with Solar Power Heliolisk -- that thing just destroyed me.

I figured they absorb whatever energy it is, and the stone doesn't dissolve, but it's basically just a useless rock afterwards. Now if you could find a big elemental stone sticking out of the ground, like the Leafeon and Glaceon evolutions, you could evolve stuff all day.

Stone Preservation Movement, these evolution stones are a finite resource. We must prevent over eager trainers from tapping their resources indiscriminately! Say no to Glaceon overpopulation, and Leafeon.

I'm still annoyed Gamefreak's insistence of avoiding some sort of evolution paradox by forcing any new evolutions of an old pokemon have a new method. I should be able to evolve eevee to leafeon with a leaf stone, and now that there's an ice stone to evolve alola Vulpix and Sandshrew, why is there still an ice rock for glaceon? it's not like rejiggering evolutions are out of the question - Feebas went from beauty to trade w/ item due to beauty getting the axe. Yet in HG/SS you couldn't evolve to Leafeon or Glaceon because there was no mossy or ice rock. Same goes for the inconsistency among baby pokemon.

You're right all of Eevee's evo's should be stone ones. We've got enough stones to do it.

Alternatively, use Sun for Espeon and Moon for Umbreon, due to the whole Day and Night thing? Also, if they ever do a normal type eeveelution, it should totally involve an everstone in some way.

I figured Dusk and Dawn had the same theme going, and Dusk seemed appropriate for Umbreon, but sure. Dusk and Dawn stones left over for Gen VIII!

Is there another one I could use, and if there are multiple, which one is closest to Cerulean City? I haven't done it any other way than the regular two, but my understanding is that mew glitch generates based on the special stat of the Pokemon last fought. If you get a pokemon with a special stat that corresponds to mew (Bulbapedia should have the list), you can fight a ditto and get it to transform. When it transforms it gets the special stat of the Pokemon it transformed into and the game will count that the same as any of the ones used for the normal glitch. You will then be able to use any long range trainer to generate a mew. It's just those two have Pokemon who already have the correct stat.

tyblazitar posted:I just watched it, it was pretty great. Shenanigans and other good commentators on the couch really giving a lot of interesting background info, and a solid runner too. Recommended if you're into glitchless Pokémon speedruns, and if you haven't watched one before you'll find out if it's your thing quickly enough. Cheers for the recommendation. I have a soft spot for Emerald but I'd feared it would be a rather dry affair compared to TAS-runs and last year's Red/Blue race. Good commentators can be enough to make a speed-run worthwhile.

2) Something that counts as a second trainer is necessary at some point - this can be an actual trainer or use a PC, get your menu back, and push a Strength boulder (flying to Fuschia is probably best, there's one in the Warden's building) 3) The Pokemon you encounter when you walk back to the first trainer's area is based on the Special stat of the last Pokemon you fought. You can manipulate that either with a wild Ditto transforming into something you need or with a specific trainer (or with a wild encounter) or with a lucky random encounter

Improbable Lobster posted:Smogon tiers continue to be bad Mind elaborating, or is this just "lolsmogon"? It's early in the format, and this is purely by usage rates, without bans established, and it's also still a period where everyone's trying all the shiny new stuff. That said, I wish that UU wasn't turning into ORAS OU, but I guess that just means I'll be playing RU and NU now, or something. Or they'll make a new tier somewhere.

As I write this, I'm fighting what I'm pretty sure is like, the fifteenth one of the same pokemon in a row. Two of my dudes have now been knocked out trying to catch one low level wild pokemon. Whoever decided Pokemon should be able to call for help should never touch a video game again. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if you could at least throw a ball before its next attempt to call for help.

Honestly it's probably a good time to change the criterion for usage tiers on Smogon. Like, right now the way tiers are calculated is based on a cutoff of "50% chance to see a Pokemon on a team in games against X random opponents" or whatever. The thing is, suppose there's 10 Pokemon that are all equally good and in 10 random games you have a 80% chance to see a particular one of them. And then they add 4 more to the pool. Repeat 5 times. If every one of those Pokemon were all equally good, all of a sudden the chance to see any particular one of those Pokemon in 10 random games plummets. Basically, the cutoff is unsustainable as more Pokemon at similar power levels are added. The way Smogon's always done it is just by adding more tiers, but at this point it probably makes more sense to just start making the tiers bigger. And honestly it would have made more sense from the beginning if they said like "UU is anything that's not top 30 most used Pokemon in OU, and RU is anything not top 30 most used in UU" and just made those cutoffs bigger as time went on. As is, the average usage rate of any individual Pokemon goes down every generation because the pool keeps getting bigger, which means the tiers actually get smaller over time.

As unbalanced as they can get, I prefer to just stick with Battle Spot ladders since I waited many years for officially sanctioned in-game competition and I like supporting those. I'm sure OU/UU/etc. are super fun or whatever but they don't appeal to me, so let the Smogon community have their fun and committees and votes and supermajorities etc.
