It’s about time we did another Dae asks! I’ve been a bit sick the past week and tiredness and writing articles don’t mix sadly. But I’m already getting better, if only school would end soon…
This time’s question was inspired by our own Ampharos2551 in the comments, where he linked us a wallpaper containing all the badges ever featured in the games and anime. Now it’s your turn to decide which has the best design! You’ll have to sort out the name of the badge yourself, however, but last time I heard there was this specialised Pokémon wiki, but I can’t seem to remember the name. You can find all the badges >>>HERE<<< courtesy of Seancantrell.
Go comment already! You’ve been doing a great job at keeping it civil, so keep doing that. Hopefully some actually interesting news (and not tournament #7546) will come soon, and if not, I’ll finally finish the Daely Snack I’ve been planning all along. See ya!

The soul badge. So circular.
:O They. NEED to make a Pokémon game that includes you going to parts of different regions, at the Pokémon War time period!
So I battled the girl who will probably have the highest rank in the Spring Friendly. When I faced her her rating was already 1900 something, and she sweeped me with a Purrloin..
Her set was Prankster ability, Assist (which kept turning into Spore), Substitute, Swagger, and Foul Play. Probably the most annoying Pokemon I’ve ever faced.
I dont even know pokemon anymore 0____0 a PURRLION :O
A purrloin!!!!!!!! I’m already breeding for one lmfao.
She had Smeargle on her team (which I assume had 1 move) because everytime she used Assist with Purrloin it would use Spore. So I would fall asleep, she’d substitute, swagger me (and I’d hit myself everytime) and she’d Foul Play until I was gone.
wow thats strategy right there 0____0
But its not as good as life orb splash 😉
life orb splash is only good on Hoopa XD
There should be a type that is granted immunity to Dark. “Swagger/Foul Play” is really annnnnnoooying and I would love to be able to switch in on a dark move.
purrlion so OP please ban,, send to users, add clause.
lmfao!! Now I understand why Smogon are banning Swagger/Foul Play, its so deadly.
yep i even heard they are banning baton pass 0-0
get out. are you serious 0_0
Smeargle’s never even set up successfully on me cause I’m used to running my own and stopping them lol.
In fact, tbh, I only ever see smeargle online when I use it myself.
yeah, a few people in the chat were telling me that it is PLANNING to be banned
=( I had a person tell me over at serebii’s… so now to hear from you sounds like its going to be happen. Oh well I’ll still be using my Geomancy passer lol
yeah when move tutors were gonna come back in x2/y2 or z or etc, i wass gonna geomancy pass down to mega gardevoir and cream with hyper voice XD
you can always transfer a move tutored gen 5 one lol..
I personally prefer Sylveon =) gets to hold an item (Pixie Plate) making it even stronger.
ah sylveon is really nice
plus gen 5 transfered ones arent allowed in tournaments 🙁
Im gonna build a team hopefully for May if not the PJ tournament
i really wanna move into compettive soon
vgc is so fun
Ahhh sorry about that, didn’t know you meant for tournaments. Yeah we need those tutor moves bad. Tired of looking at my Hyper Voice Sylveon lacking a pentagon lol.
I’m definitely going to make sure I have a Purrloin ready for the May global link tournament.
It’s true Smogon have a thread asking about it, but until there are suspect tests, better take it with a grain of salt. XD
Baton Pass is used by a majority of top 10 players in Showdown’s Smogon OU Singles right now. It’s really impossible to mess up if you know what you’re doing.
Non-effective counters
A. Ditto? They will just pass, buff bigger, and wear it down.
B. Whirlwind/Roar? Smeargle will just Ingrain.
C. Dragon Tail? Say hello to Sylveon.
D. Hazer? They will attack it and wear it down.
Might work (once, then your Pokemon probably dies)
A. Perish Song
B. Encore
I don’t think there’s a Soundproof baton passer though. I HOPE.
I would pay to see the massive sh*tstorm of Players
They’re not banning the move baton pass. They are just trying to nerf full baton pass chains, because they are kind of OP.
I never liked Purrloin’s X and Y model
I hated it even more today and wanted to break my 3DS everytime that damn cat would morph into the substitute doll… -_-
I’m still gonna train one though for the May tournament
That’s kinda hypocritical
You done got served now your going to use one yourself
Exactly lol. I want a 1900 rating I never went that high .
I’ve never cared about the rating
Well I did before but it drove me to insanity
I don’t think status moves would be prevented to make contact. I think immunities only work for damaging attacks.
I know how battling works thank you. I said nothing about status moves.
Well there’s fire being immune to burn, and electric immune to Thunder Wave (before, now they’re all immune to paralysis), and poison immune to Poison/Toxic, so why not give a type immunity to confusion? Dark seems to be the best choice for this, if not, Psychic works just as well.
do you consider confusion as a status? because when you are confused you can alse get another status
Yeah, I consider it a status, if a minor status, the official term is “volatile” since it disappears in switching.
YESSS The 2014 International May challenge on Global Link will be double battles. Now I get to use this wicked combination I’ve been wanting to use.
And they restrict the legends this time so it’s going to be more difficult imo lol
true though its gonna be nice not to see mega mewtwo Y’s everywhere XD sorry if it offends anyone
Mega Mewtwo Y is too powerful
It is too powerful lol. I’ve taken down every single Mega Mawile in sight with it (despite them knowing Sucker Punch), cause of my strategy.
I think the comp was easier with legends in it, cause people don’t have iv’d kalosian legends and don’t know how to use them properly so they were easy to take down.
Well, that makes it easier for me.
As long as I can use Excadrill and Hippowdon i’ll do just fine
I don’t think you can. Are they apart of the kalosian dex?
i know hippowdown is allowed cause hippopatas is found in the same route as helioptile and drillbur im not so sure on :/
fs
so thats concludes that exadrill isnt allowed since fs pokemon usually arent in kalosian dex
but i use a fs pokemon NOOOOOOOOOO
dang… no Ground duo for Ian XD
Then Mega Garchomp and Hippowdon it is
my doubles team consists of wicked combinations lol right now breeding the first two most important members
I want to tell mine so bad lol, I haven’t seen it done yet, but I’m guaranteed to to be set up every time with it.
mine works perfectly on showdown i always win or the people forfeit i want to finish this team like now
Isn’t the monthly special battles always in VGC 2014 format?
Did they upload info about it on the PGL yet?
I see today is Speculation Sunday, huh? xD
and Unova talk XD
😀 Can’t wait until they talk more about WWII or The Pokemon War in new games.
same. I’m trying to find this link where this kid has this amazing theory on the next games being a melting pot of every region, and includes bits of each some how. I’ll try my best to find it for ya.
:O that sounds like a cool idea!
Someone wants to battle? I’m in the chat.
Not tonight, i’m way too deep in WoW right now
I’ve been addicted to this rom hack “Liquid Crystal”, its a gen 3 remake of Gold & Silver with an enhancements.. and another region after you beat Johto/Kanto. Its amazeballs.
Yeaaaaah….I’ve fallen back into the near inescapable quagmire that is World of Warcraft
Before i got into Competitive Pokemon I literally spent my entire High School Career on wow literally I have played everyday of every week of every month for a year straight
and that was my third year when i was a master and not a novice
lol I heard lots of stories about WoW literally sucking people away into the game, causing them to forget about everyone else XD
But at least i’ve made tons of Offline Wow friends
But nonetheless there’s a reason people got sucked into it purely for being a very accomplished MMO
I’d recommend it to anyone
I played it for a while, and now I regret the money i spent on it. I had fun though. But now I want my over $200 back. 🙂
i loved that hack!
I recommend light platinum and pokemon glazed : two great rom hacks as well
The rom hacks never seen to work
I spend hours looking up how to work it but get nothing
def going to check light platinum next. I see that one posted everywhere.
Hmm. Hammer Badge. (The badge that Dae gives you, after you beat him in a battle and he bans you)
dae spams hammer arm that why he loses
It just reduces speed and does minimal damage D:
A perfect move for me
I’m the kind of guy who’ll slams his arms and fists at a foe to clobber them but ends up putting all of my energy into one attack
or would that be more like superpower
But you use wooden hammers 😮
I use…
a Two Handed Wooden Mallet (Hand Built)
One Handed Hammer (Hand Built with help)
a Boomerang (Ordered from Australia used to throw it in the park but always got caught in the thorns )
Fists (Highly used)
My Head (Thank you thick skull)
and that’s pretty much it
But Wood Hammer is super effective on his Ground types.
Hey Noivs, you need to be updated on Jade Jungle…
I’ve given up my position in Team Eda as Lead Scientist to SlipperySceptile, and will instead be taking the Team Flora Lead Scientist position, if all right with you.
Skiddo the Survivor Fan was chosen through a contest to be the gym leader of a Dragon-type gym. His three Pokemon, levels, and genders are below, and it is your task to give him a fake, but likable name:
Dratini Female Lv. 17
Bagon Male Lv. 15
Deino Male Lv. 15
@ProsecutorZero:disqus won an additional contest and would like to be featured in one of the gyms as a trainer.
Also, if the spot for Head of Team Flora is currently vacant, then I can occupy it, if that’s fine with you. Of course, I’ll be moving up from the Lead Scientist position, leaving that open for someone else.
Hey Noivs! Pokemaster gave me a role as one of the rebattleable trainers in the Pokepub, and I suggested that the Pokepub should be in every major city, like a Pokémon Center.
I also suggested that the Pokepub should play a major role in the storyline.
I gotta say the badges get more fancy after Gen 1, though not evenly. I personally didn’t like any badge in particular, but if I had to pick, it’s the Viola’s badge in Gen 6, the “Purse” badge. -_-
That being said, I dislike Gen 5’s badge shining mechanic. 🙂
You and I both favor the same badge ^_^
Kewl!
It’d probably look good as an actual bag. (A backpack for me rather than a purse.)
It may be just me, but I feel like gym badges are also decreasing in size as generations go on. Maybe this pattern was broken in Generation V, but I can tell that compared to Kanto’s badges, I’d be ashamed to get one in Unova.
XD
The Unova gym leaders were just trying to save money… 🙂
I think the badge sizes went “back to normal” in Kalos…
After listening to Xerneas and Yveltal’s Theme so much, I’ve realized that I really like the battle backgrounds when battling them. IMO, Iris’ Champion Battle first introduced such a unique background (night sky with shooting stars background with a blue floor), and it appears that Game Freak had adapted it into XY with Xerneas’ Forest Background, Yveltal’s Cosmic Background, and Lysandre’s Solar Background.
It makes me wonder…what will Zygarde’s background look like in the next games? What other Pokémon or Major Bosses do you look forward to seeing with such backgrounds?
What if.. Dome Ace Tucker returned as a Fairy type gym leader/Elite 4 next gen, in Z or in the R/S/E remakes? That would be so fitting haha
The sparkling, dancing butterfly that is the dome ace returning?? It wouldn’t matter what he would be as long as he was there!!!
Truuuu
Question: Why do they call them the legendary dogs when really they seem to be based on a lion (entei) a tiger (raikou) and a leopard (Suicune)? I know they’re really called the Legendary Beasts but everyone seems to call them the Legendary Dogs, including myself.
I’m not sure, but I do the same thing. Legendary Dogs. It’s funnier. 🙂
They don’t refer to them as that anymore. Their called the Crown Beasts.
What happens when you and your opponent are on your last Pokémon, you use a recoil-inducing move and both the Pokémon faint? Is it a win or loss for you?
The person who used the attack wins
And I end the April Friendly with a tally of 29-49. Today’s record was 6-14, the worst since Day 1.
My total record yesterday was 60 battles, 48 wins, 12 loses. I’m about to do my final 20 right now.
The game actually stiffed me of 2 battles.
and then u have people with these annoying fucking gimmicks. OMG The 3rd Spore Purrloin I’ve faced… so damn annoying. And then fucking spamming Substitute Sableye
Yeah, I battled a sub Sableye too. Didn’t see a Spore Purrloin. I think they make battle matchups based on the rankings.
Hello Fellow Pokejungler
No one will be online to see this but if anyone is on please give the message latter I your Govnah will be stepping down for the time being and the reasons being.
1. Deerling
2. Disqus being a annoying litltle
3. Life getting better
I dont want to leave but something is telling me too i will return one day and when that day comes, The Govnah will rise again.
😀 Glad to know it’s getting better for you. We shall meet again when the time is right. Until then, farewell. 🙂
Alreight. We will miss you, but glad life is getting better! 😀
Bye.
ROTLMFAO
…….
I think it’s just… people are tired of seeing lame “I have to leave now” messages. 1, its off topic to a Pokemon commenting section, 2. if you have to go, just go. No need to make it into a situation. I comment here about every 2-3 days and I don’t feel the need to tell anyone about my personal life.
I hate leaving without saying goodbye to my 2nd family
This is true but I just wanted to keep it short and simple. Drama is just as bad as spam (actually both are spam)
your AVI makes uf comment so much better
So I heard that this Special Battle Season is Inverse Battles. Should be good
Indigo League : Quake Badge. The use of gradient to crete the strata of earth, with the single mineral-gem (in green) — tasteful.
