I finally went and beat Blue version on 3DS last night. I rolled up to Indigo Plateau with my party in the low 40s, one of them not even fully evolved (Dragonair), and a couple others without their final movesets. (Why do you learn Sleep Powder so late, Venusaur, why?!) But I decided "gently caress it. Let's see how this goes!" So long story short, that was the lowest level I've ever beaten the Gen 1 Pokemon League. Barely had any guys faint, even. My Slowbro ended up the highest level at the end (46), and really could have solo'd the whole thing if I'd let him. But that's boring, so I didn't do that. It was hilarious watching Lance's Dragonite flail ineffectually with Barrier while my Venusaur's Leech Seed and Toxic combo just made his health... disappear. Like, he used a Hyper Potion and his Dragonite was dead the very next turn. Hilarious! Team Break the Game was a huge success! But now I really wish I could use these guys in Pokemon Stadium or something, to really test them out against something besides the dumb-as-dirt AI. I mean... Stadium's AI was still dumb as dirt, but at least their Pokemon had real movesets!

Super No Vacancy posted:oh they just had another one this is like pretty easy huh Some things to keep in mind for breeding that make it go faster (not that you're having trouble) are: Pokemon of the same species make eggs more often Pokemon with different Trainer IDs make eggs more often Pokemon of the same species with different Trainer IDs make eggs the most often Pokemon of different species, but still in the same egg group, and the same Trainer ID WILL eventually produce eggs. It just takes longer. As long as the Daycare person says anything besides "The two prefer to play with other Pokemon," you will get an egg. The Key Item called the Oval Charm, which you get from the Professor for completing the Regional Pokedex, makes Pokemon produce eggs more often across the board. Also, females pass down their Pokeball to their offspring; genderless Pokemon cannot inherit Pokeballs by any means whatsoever.  This makes me sad.

There's also the variation of Nuzlocke called Wonderlocke, where you Wonder Trade the first Pokemon you catch in each area, optionally Wonder Trade any Pokemon that faints. I started one of those in Alpha Sapphire, and very early on I got Wonder Traded a HA Eevee with Hyper Voice. I realized I could steam roll the whole rest of the game with that...

Loosely, because I put later-introduced evos and prevos and whatnot with their originals instead of way at the rear end-end of the Pokedex where I'd never think to look for them. Alternate Formes and such just go in there like normal, and hidden ability 'mons. I have a separate box for shinies.

Dr. Fetus posted:Yeah that really wasn't a good move, preventing people from using any of the old Pokemon in case they didn't like any of the new ones. Especially with incredibly divisive designs such as the Klink, Trubbish, and Vanillite lines. There were, what, 150ish Pokemon introduced in Gen V? With some of the strongest and best designs ever? If you couldn't find any you liked out of that, the problem is with you, not with the game.

I know they'll disobey half the time but I just wanna go through the story on each game before the new one comes out and I started X/Y a few months ago and got distracted after the second badge and just wanna plow through it this week. I was collecting every new pokemon that came along but I realized that was going to take too much time for me. If you just want to sleep walk through the main game just to be done with it, you're better off just powerlevelling your starter. It will always obey you and you'll be able to nuke pretty much everything. Just catch a couple throwaway guys to teach HMs to and you're golden.

Nothing in between.  VolticSurge posted:Personally, I think that replacing Mega Forms with these "Stands" is a mixed bag. On the one hand,you don't need to fumble around looking for the requisite stone. On the other hand,the Pokemon uses the Stand to fight on its behalf. That is kinda redundant. Then there's the Champion's stupid gimmick-His *insert OP Fighting type here* can,like stop time or something and get a whole buncha free hits. It feels like the only way to beat him is if you happen to get a Pokemon whose Stand can also stop time,but that's so RNG-reliant. I see this term a lot. What the gently caress is a stand?!

Whew. I had been avoiding this thread since the demo dropped, but I finally caught up again! I beat the game this weekend. This was my team: Nyasha banks, Villeplee, Firedancer, Yuki, Great Wroggi, and Pikaboo. Of course those were just the guys I brought to the Pokemon League. In total I used 15-18 guys on rotation with the EXP Share on at all times. I actually ended up slightly underlevelled and had the hardest time I've ever had against the Elite Four since like... Gen1. I ran out of Revives! Against Kukui it was down to just Great Wroggi and Villeplee against his last two Pokemon. Wroggi hung on by 1 HP TWICE (thanks, Pokemon Refresh!) letting her take out his second to last Pokemon with Toxic. Then Villeplee finished off his Ninetales with Flash Cannon. Phew! Really tense. Great game! Now I'm at the tail end of the Ultra Beast quest. I've bred a few things but nothing terribly interesting. I've been using Castforms to be lazy about filling up my Alola Dex. Next I'll be going after the Tapus. I am also very interested in these Beast Ball and Apricorn Ball Pokemon that people have worked so hard to get, but I have practically nothing to offer for them. And I would want like.... all of them for my collection. Might have to wait until Bank updates. I have tons of good stuff in Bank to give people!

I'm going to be busy on Saturday, so I'm not sure I'll have time to track one down. I'll do Beast Balls instead. No one has done Corsola or Klefki yet, looks like. I'll go for 'em. One thing to consider is that a lot of Pokemon are available in Apricorn Balls in HG and SS, and since they changed how Pokeball inheritance works, that means male, male-only, and genderless Pokemon caught in Apricorn Balls in HG/SS can be brought up to SuMo once Bank updates. For instance, I have tons of Heavy Ball Skarmories just sitting in Bank. Might be best to focus on new Pokemon for the Apricorn Ball project, or ones that were unavailable in HG/SS.

Lure ball Marill for myself and all goons, it is the perfect ball for the perfect Pokemon. If no one has any by Saturday I'm just going to use my own ball and make the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good.

What nature does Guzzlord want? I'm stumped. He looks like he's trying to be Blissey v2, but the difference is Blissey actually has decent special defense, which is why you run Bold with her. Adamant? Modest? Say who cares and go Quiet or Brave? That 43 speed isn't doing him any favors either.

OK! My morning Beast Ball hunt was successful. I got a Corsola and a Klefki in their nice new Beast Ball homes. Corsola only took me one Beast Ball.  Klefki was more like 10 but whatever. I got 'em! I can breed them for folks in exchange for YOUR Beast Ball (and maybe Apricorn Ball) Pokes!EDIT: Checking the sheet, it's criminal that no one has caught a Luvdisc in a Love Ball! I might go do that myself... They're a swarm Pokemon in HG/SS, which is a pain in the rear end, anyway. Silver Falcon fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Dec 9, 2016 |

Anyway, I'll start by breeding a few each of my Beast Ball Pokemon. Would all you other Beast Ball havers let me know when you're available to swap?
