Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Generally the best first nuzlocke game is considered firered/leafgreen since it's very easy and short but honestly whatever game you want to play is the best. Even the harder games like BW2 are not difficult with proper planning. Also as far as Whitney goes, she is not difficult at all. You have...
I've been binge watching a lot of "speed run X pokemon game with all pokemon" videos lately and one thing I've noticed is that in gen2, most of the TMs seem pretty universal - I feel like most pokemon in gen 2 learn about 75% of the tms and there's a lot of overlap in that 75%. Also, a lot of...
Bit late but a lot of the weird NYC pokemon moves coincided with irl holidays and seasons. The lovely kiss distributions happened around valentines day, the seemingly odd petal dance distributions happened during the cherry blossom blooming weeks in Japan, cute pokemon got scary face before...
I think there's two possibilities regarding Celesteela:
A: in battle visual change, probably just with it's thrusters
B: originally the Ultra beasts may have all been planned to have A/B forms for which version you played but were scrapped due to increased dev workload, and buzzwole and...
Clearly the simulator lacks the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from wasting hours of your life playing a 2/10 game to grind mons for your team.
P.S. you can get mons in game almost as fast as showdown with pkhax anyway
You don't like palworld because they ripped off nintendo or used ai or whatever
I don't like palworld because it's obviously an early access rugpull cashgrab stoking controversy to get sales
We are not the same
I think it more goes to show three things
1. Game freak has not always done a good job of adding mid strength moves for types, so a lot of times there were times where if they didn't want a pokemon to have a 95 bp stab at that level, they were stuck with a 40 or 50 bp stab cause there was...
The gen4 evolutions of level up with this move are dumb and, assuming you are playing blind with knowledge of how the game mechanics work - I don't think you would conceivably teach any of the pokemon the moves needed to evolve except maybe aipom if you don't have a spare return tm, and even...
Taken from the usage stats thread:
Looks like you need to be around 1695 or above rating. Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but looking at the number of battles in OU at that rating last month (1069916) and doing some very rough math - you'd need to do about 53,500 battles with Ampharos at...
Since when do we determine whether or not an element should be banned based on how it affects specific pokemon in the metagame? Should we unban Sheer cold because it would buff Articuno? Should we unban double team to buff celebi? Should we unban groudon to buff Shiftry and Exegutor? Saying...
Leaker would not start by soxxing themselves lmao. Also sky drop is never coming back. Even without it's history of glitchiness, it's potential for stalling and trolling far outweighs it's legitimate use
The fact that Comcast has the time and money to buy defunct accounts on obscure internet forums to post stupid propaganda copypasta and link to podcasts by people who replaced their brain with oatmeal, kinda just argues that regulating these big companies is long overdue.
