My favorite team was Scoliopede, Mr Mime, Espeon, Vaporeon, Gliscor, and Smeargle, that was a baton pass team that never attacked, and it was the only fun I had in competitive gen 6 before smogon mercilessly banned it, and I'll never forgive them.

Pokken World's update, Japanese Machamp makes it to Grand Finals, defeating worthy adversary Japanese Weavile, who also effortlessly demolished the weak American players to get that far, in an intense 5 game set

It's laughable how much better japan is at Pokken than the rest of the world. They might as well put random children against them. It's pathetic.

I was talking with someone about how to make Ice better as a type defensively, since it only resists other Ice types. If it got one other type it could resist what would make the most sense, because I thought water. Then again I also thought Poison should be super effective on Water types as well.

we've been over this, it should be ground or flying

How do people handle gifted pokes in a Nuzlocke? I'm thinking specifically of the gen I starter you get in X/Y.

I'm looking for a challenge, but it's also my first one and I'm already down to two dudes before the first gym battle.

It's up to you. You can count gift Pokemon as your "capture" in that town/area.

ooof, yeah, you basically have to use some Gen I Pokemon if you want to not have a Bad Time in the early going. Well, or you start with Cyndaquil and grind quite a bit, because you'll need some HP to tank a U-Turn (if we're talking HGSS).
I guess you could also grind up Mareep till it evolves and rely on Thundershock & Flaaffy's okay bulk to carry you through. Scyther is part Flying, after all, and does not like special attacks much.
but generally the solution for Bugsy is Geodude or Spearow.

hmmm, I'm thinking about HGSS Gen II Pokemon availability.

Heracross
Aipom

Espeon
Umbreon
Stantler
Marill (rare as gently caress)
Snubbull
Miltank
Corsola (rare as gently caress, need Good Rod)
Qwilfish (rare as gently caress, need Good Rod)
Chinchou
Girafarig
Entei & Raikou (theoretically)

Before Gym 5
Politoed (same as Slowking)
Shuckle
Smeargle
Natu
Mantine


Before Gym 7?
