I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


I don't get why it needs a 100 base special attack when it barely learns any special attacking moves.

pro wrestling is an mma style in japan and the sapphire pokedex says machamp has mastered every martial art. the ruby pokedex says machoke can lift a sumo wrestler and the cross chop is hiroyoshi tenzan's mongolian chop. they were in the pokemon equivalent of the g1 climax. machamp feuded with hawlucha in the anime and was in a sumo competition. *bangs gavel* wrestlermon

Machamp carrying you in its arms was a feature that needed to be implemented on the first island - holding it off until the end of the game is a travesty

A day later than I anticipated but I've thought of my gimmick.

:wooper: :siren: I have FIVE Tornadus / Thundurus codes to give away :siren: :wooper:
These guys are part of the genie trio, and so I'm making a wish.

I've had a hard time coming up with gimmicks for the monthly code giveaways lately. My "Trade with another goon" one flopped horribly.

So here's what I wish for: folks to come up with a gimmick for a future giveaway.

The goal should be for someone to spend 5-10 minutes for their submission. In the past I've had folks type up favorite memories, MSPaint a picture (hat tip to Poop Cupcake for my avatar), or write a haiku. I do gimmicks so that goons who put in a modicum of effort get rewarded, not just someone generally being lucky enough to refresh the thread at the right time.

The first five legitimate (as judged by me) submissions will get a code. I realize this is subjective and I try to never do subjective giveaways, but I'm only really going to judge poo poo like "post codes in the thread" and similar things as illegitimate, so feel free to come up with goofy poo poo.

Here’s a few ideas.

One code for everyone who designs their own pokemon. Could be a drawing, could be a written description of the pokemon’s appearance and behavior, could be a design featuring types, movepool, and stats. Could be more than one of those.

Riddle contest! Whoever comes up with a great pokemon riddle gets a code. Maybe it’s funny, or maybe it’s a real stumper.

Fashion show. A code for anyone who puts together a great outfit for their character in-game. Alternatively, the contest could be to put together the most aesthetically pleasing pokemon team.

If we get a choice, I’d like a tornadus.

I think it would be fun to draw a mega-form for your favorite pokemon that doesn't have one. Plenty of room for creativity and it's a topic of endless wish listing and meta-theory crafting. Show the mega-form, give a description of the stat changes, ability changes, and so on. Alternatively, new Z moves if that's your jam.

Detail a new villainous team. Their motivations and crimes they'd do to fulfill them. Can be done in a bite-sized sub-100 word blurb.

MSPainting up new megas like we're back on the elementary school playground is a pretty dope idea, fellow internet doctor. Where should I send your code?
That's 3. Not yet sent.

One of the previous goons is in PAL and code-ineligible due to my Uncle at Nintendo making Europe's pokemon games different. That means I have 1 code to reissue and it COULD BE YOURRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSS

In which case, I don't see that there's anything remarkable about the similarity, such as it is. Much like the comment I made about the Lycanroc one.
