The last time I was really into Pokemon I was 12, but I mean come on actually being able to catch all Pokemon without leaving my house plus Super Blastoise is just too enticing to ignore so now I'm at 4% download of Y.

I just wonder traded a bred Charmander for a Chespin. I dunno, I think it's a sweet coincidence, trading starter Pokémon like that v:shobon:v

I can understand why some Pokemons like Tyranitar get Mega Evolutions (because Tyranitar is loving awesome), but were people really clamoring and screaming for a new Manectric evo? Why not give one to like, Farfetch'd. That poor, unloved rear end in a top hat.

The whole point of Mega Evolution is they want to make poo poo Pokémon usable, which is what actual evolved forms used to do before they stopped doing that because of how much people complained about Magmortar, Electivire, Tangrowth, Magnezone and Probopass. The ones for cool (already strong) Pokémon like Tyranitar, Garchomp and Lati@s are for marketing purposes.

Farfetch'd will remain forever terrible because the entirety of the drat joke is it's a duck that walks up to you carrying the very ingredients you need to make it into a soup.

Sorry, I missed the previous generations, but what were the complaints on those guys?
And if the point is to make poo poo Pokemon usable, why not just tweak their stats to not make them awful? Or give them gimmicks and abilities that make them useful?

And I've wanted a Farfetch'd evo ever since I saw this cool samurai-themed evolution :v:

Gen IV added a ton of evolutions to old pokemon, many of which were Gen I. It made them a lot better by giving them access to new moves and better stats, but for the most part they looked AWFUL. A lot of people got pissed off because they viewed it as Gamefreak ruining their favorite pokemon by giving them hideous evolutions.

They can't be that ba-

Oh.

Ohhh.

Ohhhhh.

Is there a point where the NPC trainers will begin using more than 3 Pokemon? The game feels like it has no challenge at all. I mean, I know I could probably just battle online but at this point I'm probably the equivalent of that lovely fisherman that sends out six magikarps.

These pokemon have had their pictures circulated for almost a week now back when Smealum revealed them, it's nothing special and you're really late to report on it.

Here are the actual pictures since that guy who posted after you is a derp :siren: spoilers i guess if you care about poo poo that wont be in the game for literally two years :siren:

I am doing an XY Nuzlocke and ran into a Pikachu as my second pokemon. I thought 'sweet, I never really used Raichu'

Then I caught it and its Rash and holding a Light Ball, so now I have a ridiculous glass cannon that can kill everything in one thundershock.

well thats my Nuzlocke story.

Please do not consort with Pokemon in that way and apply a topical cream for that rash

I wanna get back to Pokemon Y but I have no idea where in the plot I am. Fairly sure I already climbed the Eiffel tower and already got the lucario and charizard mega evos and am currently lost in not Paris which is a monumental pain in the rear end to navigate

Lumiose City, on the north side. hit up Lysandre Cafe, it's the red one

I discovered I had already done that but the luchador guy there told me I had to go to this other town and Lysandre kicked my rear end incredibly hard. I beat him but he took down half my team with his gyarados. My guys are really weak to dragon turns out

No hate, let's post our favorite music.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJZPW9aEEgk this is a good tune that puts me back in my youth beating the entire Elite 4 while sitting in the can

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxk9DqdYsJ4 this is a good tune when you fight the strongest pokemon master ever; you a couple of years before you played Silver

And that's it because I didn't play anything else until XY and I cannot for the life of me remember any music for that game

Remember in Gold/Silver how cool it was to exchange phone numbers with trainers who would periodically call you for a rematch, to tell you about how a rare Pokemon type is at the moment fairly common, or just to chat you up? That feature blew my mind as a kid.

But why not Nightslash instead of the dullest shittiest gen 1 hidden machine move
Water Shuriken is actually a really mediocre move right? Low power and Greninja is fast enough he'd never need a priority move right?
