Decided I would use some of the new and reintroduced pokemon to go through the DLC. Started a party with Sandslash, Ninetails, Arbok, Sinistcha and a shiny Quagsire but now Im stuck on what to use for the 6th. I want something underrated or something a lot of people wouldnt use. Im thinking one of Noctowl, Mandibuzz, or Leavanny.

I used an ability patch on a ninetails to have drought and ran a chlorophyll Leavanny. Ended up being a pretty good combo

Mandibuzz is really awesome in my opinion, though I only know from VGC. Tailwind, Foul Play, Roost, Brave Bird. It probably isn't great in single player but she was a star on my SWSH sand team.

you have a bunch of guys who only evolve once so either grab someone who evolves twice or someone who doesn’t evolve at all (I liked taking Heatmor through Alola last year. who the gently caress has ever thought about Heatmor for more than five minutes? ME!!!!)

Nodosaur posted:It's just amusing to me. Fandom constantly says they want rear end in a top hat rivals, and they give us rear end in a top hat rivals in the form of Avery, Clara, Bede, and Carmine, and the response is overwhelmingly "not like that" I liked all of these guys except Bede just fine honestly. As I mentioned before my Kieran bias comes from the fact I've had several relationships that crashed and burned that he reminds me of: Somebody who's an emotional trainwreck, gloms onto you for stability and reassurance and then starts resenting the fact you have your poo poo together. Like even in game I was kinda hesitant with him about even battling because he growing increasingly unhinged about it. And then he got mad at me when he forced me to go through with it and I still won. It's really unpleasant even in comparison to your average rear end in a top hat rival. I'm not nutty about Carmine's bullying and superiority complex either but at least it seems like she's slowly getting her poo poo together.

Yeah, by the end of the story Kieran and Carmine have basically swapped roles in terms of likability (and based on the final scene it seems we’re not done with them yet) Hell, one of the reasons I like Nemona so much is that while she’s a battle maniac she’s also just as happy when she loses to an opponent as she is when she wins (if not more so) Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Sep 14, 2023 |

I’m just saying The rear end in a top hat Rival thing is another case of this fandom not knowing what it wants. They say they want the rear end in a top hat rival back but what they really want is just original Blue and Silver - both of whom who were, until later installments and remakes, just assholes who oppose you who don’t present any characterization or challenges that might have deeper reasons or make the player uncomfortable. I’m not saying the Pokemon games are stellar writing, but Kieran and Carmine have more fleshed out reasons for their being hostile/challenges to the player, and yet they just get reduced to “rude children.” Blue became interesting when he became a friendly rival with an ego and team mom tendencies. Silver became interesting when there was greater focus on his past as Giovanni’s son and his struggles with understanding bonds with his Pokemon. PokeMas and HGSS were great for Silver, and Let’s Go made Blue go from Saved By The Bell bully to a hilarious team mom. Nodosaur fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Sep 14, 2023 |

I've also never understood the fixation on Blue or Silver either. As you said, Blue got interesting when he was fleshed out in later games and other media. Silver was always a terrible rival since his story arc is kind of just resolves itself after repeated defeats by your hand. I understand taking a smug rear end in a top hat down a peg, but for them to continue being assholes even after defeat always struck me as stupid. Later characters would get more nuance and depth, but I guess the fixation on Gen 1 and especially Gen 2 would make people not appreciate stuff that came after.

Silver was always a terrible rival since his story arc is kind of just resolves itself after repeated defeats by your hand. It’s also like. People say “I want an rear end in a top hat so I can be motivated to defeat them.” But that falls apart when you’re defeating them in battle. Someone earlier said “Blue always undercut you” but he really doesn’t. Red and Blue is an exercise in defanging a childish bully over and over. Yeah, it gets kinda pathetic for Hop and Hau when they lose to you repeatedly. But that’s kind of part of their entire character arcs, Hop especially.

my opinion of carmine is that shes good and cool and she's probably much more likeable if, like me, you also grew up with a mean older sibling; and my opinion of kieran is that he's kind of lame in an unfortunately extremely relateable way. i remember being a weird lame 10 year old, it sucked!!

It's especially bad when you try to go to any of the clothing stores, I thought the game actually froze when I tried.

Pokémon games need a rival whose first few battles are unwinnable. Just take away the 'lose your money' penalty and have the rival absolutely curbstomp you with a team 20 levels higher than yours, doing a two-on-one, spamming Full Restore, the whole nine yards. By the end of the game, you can be equally leveled with them and finally beat them, bing bong, great douchebag rival. And it might make children upset that they got rolled so badly, so it's a win-win.

I mean you can say it's bad taste but it's not contradictory, if an rear end in a top hat has too good of a motivation or tragic past they stop being a true rear end in a top hat. They're a Sasuke at that point.

They're a Sasuke at that point. People typically have reasons and motivations for how they act. Just being a jerk for being a jerk’s sake doesn’t really work anymore unless you play it for laughs like they did with Klara and Avery.
