Oh good, a completionist LP of a game I never played, and it's Pokemon, and it's an SSLP? A dream come true. I love the naming convention this game has.

So, something we all probably know but I'm going to mention for posterity's sake. The opponent's pokemon can be much higher level than yours. That last Raticate for instance, was level 18. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but remember that rental pokemon are all hard locked at the lowest possible level of whatever tournament you're fighting in. Lao, pretty sure official gen 1 tournaments worked on an average level spread. So you could have three level 53 pokemon, or two 50s and one 55. I don't think the AI plays by that rule. If it wants to bring it's best monsters to destroy your poorly balanced rental tem, then by God it will.

It was actually level 50-55 and the sum of the 3 levels selected from your 6 could not exceed 155 the perils of competitive formatting that must allow for the one (1) pokemon in the game that evolves at level 55

Man I loved this game. It came out at the perfect time and has so many little touches and whistles it's just wonderful. Some of the noises and animations and announcements are just burnt into my memory. Plus it has some of my favourite music from the whole game series. The Prime Cup one rules. Also the minigames were so good. And being able to sequence break the GB games by getting a drink early and going to Saffron city as soon as possible. I don't remember if there was anything you could do with that, but it was neat.

There's one I heard a lot this time that I don't normally hear "it's casually cast aside!". Pretty sure it's after getting a OHKO with a move that isn't super effective.

I think so too. And "it's...too...strong!" is for an OHKO with a resisted move. Although that one might be in Pokemon Stadium 2 only.

That was hilarious, Starmie isn't even the strongest Gen 1 Pokemon but here we see how broken its wide movepool is in a game where most Pokemon wish they had a STAB.

I like how Starmie has been a Very Good Pokmon throughout the series basically on the back of its amazing movepool and speed. Apparently it's finally Not Very Good in SM, which I can only imagine means they powercreeped the gently caress out of stats.

Starmie also has the advantage of being a psychic type, which for a long time in Pokemon was the best type in the game. It's also one of those rare really good critters that has two distinct and effective sets, the special sweeper we saw here, and confuse ray/thunder wave/recover/one of psychic, thunderbolt, surf, or ice beam. Great stats, terrific (if very TM-dependent for single player) movepool, and very readily available. Once you get the Good Rod, fish up a staryu at Fuschia, slap it with a water stone, and you're off to the races.

Hey, what's it doing? Down it goes!PMush Perfect posted:There's one I heard a lot this time that I don't normally hear "it's casually cast aside!". Pretty sure it's after getting a OHKO with a move that isn't super effective. I believe this is for when a Pokemon defeats one much below its level. It's most likely to happen in Pika Cup because 20 vs 15 counts in that regard, and of course you were running a level 20 Starmie most of the time.

I don't know about *the* strongest (Mew and Mewtwo aside of course) but Starmie is a tip-top tier pokemon in RBY that's in almost every serious team. Water/Psychic is awesome and Starmie's moveset is such that you can deploy it in several very effective ways.

Tauros was considered THE competitive pokemon, outside of Mewtwo because it could get hyper beam with STAB, only resisted by rock types, had a decent special stat and could use earthquake.

Starmie's Psychic typing has been more of a detriment than a boon since gen 2, really. Being frail and weak to pursuit is not a great combination. Being the only good offensive pokemon with Rapid Spin was the main thing that kept Starmie relevant in later generations and as each generation added more walls that Starmie can't break through and more hazard setters that Starmie can't beat it was ultimately a victim of power creep.

My personal favorite announcer quote proabably has to be "What's the point in splashing!?" (One of two things the announcer says if you deadass use Splash in a competitive setting) Cythereal posted:Snorlax was worse. All of that with better attack, defense, HP, and special.

Sordas Volantyr posted:(And then got really lovely...) Edit: You wanna talk about a fall from grace, Tauros went from OU in Gen 3 to being Never Used in Gen 4, which it hasn't escaped since. (As a consolation prize, it did get banned from PU in Gen 7, putting it in the same lofty heights as Sawk, non-Mega Charizard and Archeops.) Edit2: The advent of Team Preview also really helped do Snorlax in, because before, it could jump a lot of Pokemon by surprise and either set up or punch faces, depending on the set. Once you know it's coming, though, it's a lot easier to play around. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jun 24, 2018 |

Oh man I loved Pokemon Stadium growing up, it was incredibly unfair though so I never beat the gym challenge. The announcer is probably my favorite part of the two games though, he's just so hyped about everything. "WAH! TAKEN DOWN WITH ONE HIT!"

I played this game once, and I don't remember what pokemon I was using but it had Swift and I swear I once had Swift miss on me. I know Swift is supposed to be a 100% accurate move, but I suspect it just has a base accuracy of 99.5% in Gen 1 or something with an inability of its accuracy to be lowered and Pokemon Stadium's RNG decided to gently caress with me. There's no way I can confirm this unless someone can glean that from the source code or somebody has the patience to roll the dice on a few thousand uses of Swift to see if one misses. But the game already felt brutal when it came to critical hits and 1HKO moves so Swift missing seemed right at home.

Swift literally doesn't have an accuracy check in Gen 1 so it will never, ever miss.

Could it have been Stadium 2? Protect and Detect will force a Miss (and it will be described as a Miss, the 'protected itself' language came in later).

I thought all moves in gen 1 had at least a 1/255 chance to miss.
