Battle on showdown?
Random or normal?
Normal.
Okay lets battle
The irony that this is about contest… 😉
I was bored and therefore made a map for The Pokemon Research Lab 😮
http://i.imgur.com/GyFS1LF.jpg
Might or might not be the final map.
The idea for this is that there are test tubes and chemicals and stuff. Computers. Research notes. Employees. The Professor. The thing that holds the starters.There are Pokeballs on a rack to emphasize Pokemon Research. A Nurse who can heal your Pokemon. A little battle spot for you and your rival :3
(These are just random filler overworld NPCs. They will be replaced 😮 )
It seems a little empty 😛
You might want to make the map smaller, interiors that are cramped are better than those that are open :3
Will do :3
I’d agree with you.
Everything looks huge! XD
I know o———————o xD
I was bored and therefore I went to PJN. 😮 Can you tell which one of us is the more productive one?
You b/c ily
I’m so flattered. :3
Yes. Chico is a very hard worker 😮 He cook gud.
Djja said you’re more productive so I’m going to assume you 😮
Leaving those Pokeballs in the open… it would be a shame if, say, an evil organization breaks in and steal them.
It’s gigantic but I LOVE IT!
Thanks :3
Jandro, you’ve talked to KingAnteros recently?? 😮
Challenge in ORAS: Get every single contest medal with Milotic.
Yep. I totally only do contests. 😉
I kid, it was a lovely comic and I laughed my butt off.
I barely participated in Contests. More so in Sinnoh.
Contest are so fun, wait I’m a boy though. I still like contest though. Sinnoh contest had too many things should’ve stuck with the old formula.
I thought Sinnoh was easier, imo. Hoenn was too hard. Sinnoh’s were fun and interesting.
Not if you’re uncoordinated like me:p.
Sinnohs added unnecessary flavor to a perfect recipe.
Did that clothes judging thing have like a rubric b/c I didnt understand that grading stuff.
And that dance thing was kind of unnecassary too.
It wasnt a contest anymore, I was like a talent show or a Pangent.
Yes, there was a rubric, I had to look it up. They want something and certain items are of that category. It made you think what worked well with the theme.
I agree with you about the dance thing, I didn’t care for it as much.
And I think that might have been the point. Besides, I always think Contests were Pokemon Pageants anyways.
It should’ve been called “Pokemon Pageant” That just seems like a missed opportunity
Yeah. Hoenn Contests and Sinnoh Contests were different, to me. Should have named them differently in Sinnoh.
Like Hoenn should be Contests, and Sinnoh Pokemon Pageant. It would have made more sense.
Hate it when Showdown doesn’t work :/
Wanna battle then?
If I can get it to work, sure! What’s your name? I’ll challenge you once it works.
TheHoennChamp you can challenge people ladders just don’t work
Three cheers for improper grammar! -_-
I liked the honey contest better for some reason. I think I had all the beauty ribbons on my blaziken <3
Me too. Lol. I think I had all the beauty and cute ones on my blaziken…
That blaziken was the first Pokemon I got to level 100 and ironically it still had ember and not flamethrower XD I miss it ;s; I think my mom threw my sapphire away.
I lost my sapphire ;~;
I had a lvl 100 sceptile in it
and I was at the E4 ;~;
But I kept losing to drake XD
He was so hard and I was so jelly he had a salamence!!! At the time I didn’t know you could only find bagon in one spot.
I never got my beldum from steven </3
You could literally only get one after beating the last gym cos you needed waterfall. Damn Trollfreak
And it’s in one spot in the very back of the cave….
Ah I loved Hoenn <3
Me too! 😀
My rayquaza had all dem cool ribbons XD
My Whiscash had mastered in beauty
My Blaziken was the Cool & Beauty King
Also my Sealeo/Walreign is a Blubber Beauty Queen
I love the way you worded that XD
Its what i do
I wish I still had my old Emerald Save file I had over 20 ribbons on both Milotic and Blaziken.
Also you know when you beat each category you get a drawing of your Pokemon in the Art Gallery. That was cool.
Yeah that was awesome! 😀
I think i have like 18 ribbons on Blaziken i’ll check
Best part of the contests when the Pokemon are introduced and they get a few claps….but when you’re one comes in the crowd goes wild cos you maxed it’s beauty. ..
I liked lowering other people’s heart points >:) and also maxing out that heart meter thing.
Milotic = love
I still don’t have one *crys* ;-;
We shall in ORAS! 😀
Hopefully it’s easier XD *still has a level 100 febass*
I’m a coordinator. In Sinnoh, I spent more time getting all of my Pokemon ribbons than I did grinding and finding ways to beat gym leaders…
Petals the Roserade, I shall forever grave our bond in my heart.
I LOVE THE NAME PETALS
I know right?! It’s a cute name.
Aww turns out old Blaze only has 14 Ribbons
Aw who could blame me i was a youngster when i worked for them
The hours I spent on Route119 searching for that damn feebas. I still remember the very first time I found one….I almost screamed.
You ever figured out how to evolve it :0
On Emerald yeh. But I kind of failed evolving it a couple of time cos I gave it the wrong Pokepuff and it’s beauty wasn’t max and it couldn’t eat any more. That God for breeding so I was able to try again
I actually want it to return XD
In emerald, after I found it, I felt soo happy it was crazy.
I guess it’s gamefreaks way of teaching us that even the less beautiful things have value
Or something XD
Let a friend borrow legendaries to clone. Waiting on that friend to get online .-.
I lent my Cousin Danny my Groudon to beat the Elite Four
Then his game crashed….
That is awful q.q
My first Pokemon team:
Torrent the Empoleon
Petals the Roserade
Dragonic the Garchomp
Raptor the Staraptor
Poise the Drapion
Jessie the Yanmega
so beautiful i wanna cry
I think I know where you got that Yanmegas name from :3
The earliest team i can remember was
Blaziken
Exploud
Pelipper
Aggron
Altaria
Latias
YOU HAD AN EXPLOUD????
I LOVE EXPLOUD!!!! 😀
I …
I love your team….
It’s…
;~; :,D
I despise using legendaries on my team. :C
Agreed! it makes you feel guilty that you are cheating!
I used one In emerald because the e4 was super hard XD
Hey! Latias and i have a close bond
I hunted it for days and finally caught it and it ferried me everywhere
I would respect that.
Oh did i tell you guys i got a Spinda with a Butt pattern on its forehead?
My friend would always brag about beating the Elite Four and Lance in HGSS… I would self-destruct at times because it took me three days to beat Lance and I only beat Cynthia when my Empoleon and Yanmega got to Lvl. 100 which took about a week. He would often brag about beating Cynthia in a day… Now, he doesn’t anymore because he thinks the champions are weak.
I want, and the same time don’t want the Prism Scale to return. Maxing Feebas’ Beauty to evolve it was unique and you felt as if you earned it. On the other hand some argue that the Prism Scale is easier and faster so therefore better. I think keeping the original method would be best for remakes, but Prism Scales can always be traded from XY if need be imo.
I want the original method back XD
I never got to do it ;~;
I had to get it from my brother from emerald
Get a milotic I mean XD
The Bass of Fee
Same here. It’s popular and feels worth the time.
I remember that the only Feebas i ever got disliked Dry Pokeblocks
Ah, that’s a shame. It could still evolve though right? Or did it just take longer?
Nope it got full before it maxed out
Huge Bummer made me hate Milotic
I have to agree. Exerting effort into evolving Feebas was what made it stand-out and unique. I think it be wise for TrollFreak to return to route 1 and allow us to work towards a goal. The feeling after having it maxed it’s Beauty is something of a grand level.
Good game Djja!
Djja is the official sweeper master!!! All hail the broom! (the broom is Sceptile)
Thank you GG :D!!!
Oooh that would be evil if in order to get milotite
You have to bring a maxed out COOL stat
feebas
to a man in a contest tent XD
I’d dislike Game Freak forever. One of us brave soldiers will get it and clone the hell out of it and distribute it like candy!
I wish main series Pokemon games can utilize the same system of evolution that is used in Pokemon Conquest, not all Pokemon but some.
Going to go Ev train a fresh batch of Perf pokemon! see ya!
See ya!
bye!
I need to catch up on my yaoi :<
Right behind ya
Back to breeding for me
Anyone want to Showdown battle?
I DO
Cool, what’s your name?
Hoenn is life
Says server is shutting down and battles can’t be started atm D:
we have to wait a couple of minutes ;~:
Meant shutting!!
u drty boi
XD
Tate and liza were the people who taught me to not only train my starter XD
Tate and Liza were the people who taught me it was OK to curse when your were annoyed
XD Dat claydol was balk at its finest
That rude Solrock Flamethrowered my Sceptile ;_; It was so unexpected the first time! XD
I never bothered to use leaf blade on it because that flamethrower made me think it was psychic/fire XD
They countered all the starters cos I’m Pretty they used a Sunny Day/Solar Beam combo against Swampert
yeah I think they did XD
They had hax AIs
Yeah, they probably did, I remember that. All the starters had a hard time lol
Regional Flying-type Pokemon: max their speed, sp. atk, or atk in order to evolve
Regional Bug Pokemon: max happiness
Regional Pikachu clone: use Thunder Stone
Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon: max one of the six stats
Starter Pokemon: max happiness
Normal Pokemon: max their strongest or weakest stat
Most if those you wont be able to evolve during the story…
I just found my error, lol!
reminds me of my Gimmick Region Team
Grass Starter
Fire Starter
Water Starter
Regional Bird
Region Electric Rodent (kinda hard for Johto and Hoenn)
Pseudo Legendary
Minun > plusle
Minun=Minus=Less
Plusle=Plus=More
Therefore Plusle>Minun
But although that may be true
Minun > plusle is true-er.
And have we forgotten that less is more? 😉
