*grabs megaphone* WHITNEY'S MILTANK ISN'T THAT BAD
Funny enough, Chikorita ACTUALLY does fucking amazing against it, Poison Powder and Reflect by the time you challenge her

I beat that Miltank with a Pichu once.

I have incredible respect for you adorable birb

Also holy shit, Minior looks like it'll be terrifying in competitive
120 on both offensive and speed stats after Shields Down, it gets Shell Smash and the motherfucker has an amazing movepull

It's actually the more skillful option, like Stealth and Sniping, where you have to study the opponent, be predictive, and know when to use Recover and when to try to pass Status Ailments.

Besides, things like Speed Boost and Mega Beedril predicate Protect, especially the latter who needs guarenteed safety before it can start going for the kill due to Mega Stats not immediately taking effect.

....*twitches*ISN"T THAT BAD?!!!!

That pink cow utterly murdered me back in the day.

So many Pokemon Center visits so much sodium fueled 10 year old rage....

*twitches*

Took me on try as a kid, and I had no clue what happened to abilities and shit
Actually, Megas don't have to wait a turn for their speed stat to change anymore

...All my hate


not really:p

*uses Rage Powder*
Question: Does anyone nickname their mons? I grew to loving nicknames to the point I breed specific Pokemon for the sake of nicknames, like Claydol being called Gorgos (I think that was the Amazon fucker's name) or a Gooey Goodra called HUG ME MOFO. Only problem now is I can't think of a mon I can call Savitar after seeing Arrowverse's take on him

When I get Moon I'm so nicknaming my Popplio "Wubbles" and if I get a Litten I'm calling it "Rath".

I never had much trouble with Miltank either as a kid.

Although when I got SoulSilver it DID prove a frustrating battle, even though I had a much better idea what I was doing by then :lol

That's cause those games were made much harder. I should get HG some day, never beat Johto. Shame Staraptor is postgame

I caved in to spoilers.

Surprised to see that one of the Hoenn frontier brains is back. I like how they play the original emerald rendition of the frontier brain battle theme as oposed to the ORAS rendition.

I do. Usually I pay homage to the TCG and add "EX" or "LVX" to my Pokémon names, but there's others I gave unique nicknames.

Some examples include Transformers nicknames such as "Ratbat" for my Swoobat, "Soundwave" for my Seismitoad, and "Laserbeak" for my Mandibuzz. I also have other funny nicknames including nicknaming my Throh and Sawk "Ernie" and "Bert" and my Pangoro "Po". And of course when I get Moon there'll be " Vitaly", my Incineroar, and "Ariel", my Primarina.

I like Milotic

Milotic's majestic as fuck, never liked it as a kid, but it grew on me a lot

That's weird. I guess they just function as Master Balls for UBs?

And yeah there are 5 types of UBs, but apparently there's not only one of each. I read there's for instance 4 Pheromosas in Moon and 4 Kartanas in Sun, 2 Buzzwoles, 2 Celesteelas, 2 Nihilegos...some....nuber of Xurkitrees. I think Guzzlord is the only one you only get one of. So you have a lot to catch.

Also apparently Mareanie isn't the only one stuck with a 1% appearance rate. Bruxish and Dhelmise are too. Annoying, but...apparently rippling water is back, and that has increased chances.
So that's good...but I really don't understand why they would make three of the new Pokemon so rare. This gen is already pretty small, restricting access to what few new Pokemon there are seems like a boneheaded move.

My Decidueye will be named Mori d'Aou.

I saw it as a kid, absolutely fell in love. Despite it being a period where I only cared about "Cool" things, I just melted for Milotic~

Damn, you're saying you're a slut for Ice Beam? :p

There's a reason why my Milotic knows it~

Can't wait my fiance is buying Pokemon Sun for me so I can play it on release! I'm soo freakin happy I can hardly contain myself. Even better I've already picked my final team ^_^

Who has a capture card?

Ah, but it's actually a Beauty move.


...Yeah, I'll see myself out...

In another few hours the sun will rise.

Or Moon depending on which game you're getting...

And I still haven't figured out what to nickname my Litten.

December 5 (The day before my birthday!) on Disney X-D, there will be a Pokémon marathon including the premiere of Movie 19 (Volcanion/Magearna) and a preview of the English dub of the Sun/Moon arc of the anime.

Manny Rivera!

Never watched El Tigre.

Tempted to steal Rath from whoever first suggested it here.

But a wrestler could be good too hmm..

I'm naming all my Pokemon after flowers. For instance, my Primarina will be called Nouchali, after the blue star water lily. Because...blue star water lily.

Secretly, the reason is I wanted to name my Solgaleo "Big Petunias" as a joke and then I just rolled with it. It's good though. There are a lot of cool sounding flowers. Make for some neat names.

Kane:

Oooohhhhh. I like it.

You could name Incineroar after any of the men who used the Tiger Mask character in professional wrestling.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_...onal_wrestling)

What makes it better is Kane's a Heel wrestler like Incineroar a Heel Pokemon but Glen Jacobs who plays Kane is actually a really nice person so it'd match Incineroar's pokedex profile of it putting on a bad guy act but loving to perform for kids.

Oh yeah I'm really familiar with Kane. :) Just didn't think of him right away lol.

Yeah I'm happy with that. Thanks for the suggestion.

SOLD!

SOOOO HAPPY. First load of the game and I got a Female Rowlet. Hedgewig is mine!

Current team. Who knows the significance of Munchlax's nickname?
