Silver2195 posted:Speaking of the BW anime, in the part I'm watching now, Team Rocket seem to have reverted more or less to their previous selves. That includes the part where they try to steal the character of the day's Pokemon with a mech, but I'm OK with them doing that occasionally. A hypothesis is testable, the word you're looking for is wild speculation

I'm starting a new game in Pearl to give myself something to do while I breastfeed. I haven't touched that game since it came out and barely remember the Pokemon in that gen; any favorites y'all would recommend? In my previous playthrough I used Infernape, Weavile, Roserade, Garchomp, Driftblim, and Vaporeon (Vaporeon for life). I'm planning to try out Mismagius and Glaceon (though I understand Glaceon is a terrible Eeveelution) this time around. Maybe Toxicroak? Anyway! Tell me your favorite Shinnoh Pokemon, goons!

Honchkrow debuted in Sinnoh and remained the best bird in the series until Hawlucha showed up.

Zuzie posted:Does Mallow count? because that's the closest we've gotten to a female character taking that sort of supporting role. Uhhh I guess? Now that you mention it she does kinda come across as the mom of the group sometimes. I guess I was more so thinking of the dynamic of Ash traveling with a one male/female trainer a piece. Sun and Moon is kinda running a different theme here. Not that it's bad specifically. For instance I am appreciating the fact they're letting these kids pokemon evolve instead of staying small and cute for marketability. Although, bear in mind that this is coming from someone who infamously doesn't like the anime so I'm trying to be fair here.

I used a Glaceon in a Platinum romhack recently and she was definitely usable, although fragile. The worst thing is the wait to evolve her. Toxicroak and Mismagius are both good options. Uhhh what else is in Sinnoh...Luxray's the obvious one you haven't got there. Gastrodon is good too.

Mismagius was one of my MVPs for Generation IV. They could be quick, they could be bulky, and they could build enough special attack to zap!

Yanmega can reach sonic speeds without having to forgo moves buffing himself, Dusknoir is just a plain good tank especially for special, Gallade is fun for the novelty of using physical psychic and special fighting moves on the same guy like some kind of bizzaro.

They're playing Pearl and Murkrow/Honchkrow isn't available in Pearl. Definitely give Toxicroak a try. It's a fun 'mon. It's attack and speed are only slightly less than Lucario's, just for comparison, and it has a pretty solid movepool. (It's Special Attack isn't overly bad either, and it learns Nasty Plot too.)

Toxicroak will snap in half if it even thinks about a psychic type, bring your good friend Drapion.

oddium posted:evolving perfect precious child murkrow should lead to jail time Ok I used to be of this opinion and still have an unevolved Murkrow on my team in SoulSilver but all of the mobster posts have convinced me Honchkrow is good and I will use him. To be fair it's been more than 10 years since I played them but I remember completely enjoying these games. And so far I'm enjoying the early game. I think your opinion is wrong, sir!

Mizuti posted:I can't recommend playing Diamond and Pearl at all. They've aged terribly. They are PAINFULLY slow. I mean I was playing them a bit to help transfer my mons to gen 5 back in the day and I was floored by how long an entire encounter took. I was also trying to run away and even successfully doing that took what felt like an entire minute. Couple that with running out of repels and it can take you ages to get out of one patch of grass.

I went against the advice of Discord and am playing through Pearl rather than restarting Platinum. It is definitely rough. My team is probably going up to be Infernape, Gastrodon, Crobat, Blissey, Mismagius and either Weavile or Ambomasnow. I'm really disappointed feeling the miserable Pokedex though. I would have loved a Torterra, but Rapidash...

Diamond/Pearl are borderline unplayable now. where Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald are all cool but not really all that necessary, Platinum basically renders Diamond and Pearl obsolete. because everything that sucked about D/P, basically, was rectifiable, and most of it was rectified in Platinum. loving 30 second save times, jesus christ. gatekeeping 20 or so of the new Pokemon behind story completion? uuuuuuuugh

I remember feeling like DP was a breath of fresh air after Hoenn, but looking at all its problems objectively, it’s a wonder how they screwed up so bad in ways that are so tribal to fix.
