So, I’ve posted an article on my site about the banned/unbanned Pokemon during the Poke Games.
All legends with the exception of the Weather Trio, Regigigas, Phione and Heatran are banned. Pseudo-legends will also be accepted in the games.
Legendary Megas will also be banned, but Mega Evolutions as a whole will not be banned (unless your handicap says otherwise).
The Poke Games begins on August 3rd and will be a 4-5 day event. It may go longer depending on the battle style (if it changes). Team matchups will be announced when I get back to Florida in less than a week.
I believe we still have 5-6 spots available, and I’m not too sure what do do if we get more than 24 tributes. Any thoughts?
I also need to think of prize(s) to give out to the winner or winning district.
?? WHAT?! Regigigas? I’m pretty sure the legends list is still weird.
cuz regigigias sucks (until slowstart ends)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2hfgBT_fQY
0.0 i stand corrected
For the most part it DOES suck. But Pimpnite can rock almost any team xD It would be really sad to lose to Regi though,
XD Regigigas xD but I’m still pretty sure it’s banned cause Trick Room and stuff.
Regi isn’t banned on battlespot.
Okay 🙂 Just curious. But the unbanned legends list is longee than that, correct?
He’s got it covered, with the exception of Lati@s
Those who use Regigigas would be Normal Typed District Tributes. Darn. I didn’t know Normal Typed Pokémon (besides Smeargle) could learn it!
That’s what Rio told me.
And as far as I’m concerned he’s a pretty badass competitive player so he knows quite a bit.
I really want to join but I dont want to breed anything. Bad timing I suppose. I will donate a shiny driflimb for the grand prize winner if you want it
I know this is a bad thing, but I can’t do it. This month has been incredibly busy and I’m not up to it anymore. Plus, I think I might be busy around this time. I’m sorry D:
Apologize for the late response, but it’s no problem.
No hard feelings :))
:p My team isn’t exactly balanced and I let that moth set up. Sorry if I wasn’t helpful this time, Rio.
Its ok! It helped me predict things correctly and such 🙂 ok one last battle! This is my “PJT” team 😀
One more time? XD Alright, let me get a team more appropriate.
Yup xD Alright!Send the invite when you’re ready :3 and thank you so much for battling with me! 😀
You’re welcome and good luck in the actual tournament!
Who is Dot?
A man/woman with good taste. S/He does double battles.
You tasted him/her before? e_e
I’ve tasted all of you, what is your point?
am I bitter or spicy?
you spisay gurl
0.o now i have a few questions to ask myself about my sexuality
Your avatar only justifies that statement even further XD
I’m(yes that picture is me) actually just stroking my chin.
Gorilla Grodd eats humans.
O.o
….
*quietly walks away and hides in a closet*
Darn it. Why did Lick have to be a move? And I don’t think any of us are Normal Typed!
except for lickitung
Ironically, Lickitung couldn’t learn Lick in Gen I. XD
oh yeah!
Dot is Dot. 😛
Damage over Time
Wait what Perish Song carries over with Baton Pass? D: I didn’t know that.
#rekt
thats one way to kill a batonpasser!
Alright so now i’m aware Fire Hopping is basically cheating
I do it and i still suck online
;_;
?? Explain plz?
How is shaving off a fraction of a second if you succeed and losing about 2 seconds if you fail cheating?
its an exploit and it makes a different to those who can do it and those who never heard of it
every millisecond counts
So you want a game that requires no knowledge? I get that it’s an exploit, but what are you gonna do about it? A win is a win. I race just fine with inside drifting bikes that cannot fire hop period.
you know that’s what i mean
its still considered a Exploit
isnt breeding for IV’s an exploit?
and isnt EV training kinda an exploit?
That’s different
not really. they both give you a boost and takes some knowledge.
also as you said. it gives people who know how to do it an advantage over the ones who dont!
Preach it.
How is it different? Not everyone knows about IVs and EVs
In a game that is basically about HAX xD
How? Hopping is part of the game lol
Not stated in the game
If I wanted to I would hop the whole race for the lols, it’s part of the game xD Fire hopping isn’t cheating 😛
yeah it is
is it minimizing the distance to the goal without losing speed?
Isn’t that what you want to do during a race?
Yes but still
If other don’t know about it others can easily use it and win
Your logic baffles me
Can someone explain to me what Fire Hopping is? .-.
*is lost as well* Don’t ask me.
It sounds painful.
Basically, on anything that isn’t a slope, hop while boosting after a drift or mushroom
Wot.
In Mario Kart 8, hopping/pressing the drift button that makes you hop, gives you a bit more speed during a boost
Oh, thank you for the context that is Mario Kart 8. A sentence like that is rather odd.
Sorry! XD
Ohhhhh. Mario Kart Stuff. You’ve got to be specific everybody!
when you drift, you see fire. when your done hopping the fire gives a small boost. keep drifting to maintain that boost for about 2 secs
Are you talking about Mario Kart? cause that totally threw me off. considering that this is a Pokemon website q.q
lol yeah
Exactly, I was exxpecting something like burn and go or something. I dunno.
I thought it was like Will o wisp with Baton Pass and somehow Hoppip was involved xD
W-O-W and then splash for insult to injury. Sorry for the off topickery ><
It’s fine xD I was just way confused cause there was no context given to imply it wasn’t Pokemon related o_o
The whole time I was picturing a burning Hoppip.
When you see fire, you hop over it and try not to die.
Do we hop with Hot Potatoes in a sack?
Extra credit
Jack did it first. He was nimble. He was quick.
Jack Harkness can never die.
(Spoiler) (Spoiler) (Spoiler)
He did.
Shh. You think he died but he went to starling city and renamed himself Malcom Merlin.
Hawt
Literally
its a controversial cheat or “technique”
By hopping at the end of a drift you can move faster and most players don’t know of it or can do it but it makes a difference to those who can and those who don;t
and TC basically used it on me this morning thats why i’m all spitfire bout it
Either way, the internet exists. People will find out about it in Due time. It’s no different than EV training and IV breeding. It doesn’t require any third party devices as it’s part of the game and it’s a technique people use so it’s all fair to be honest.
yeah whatever i’m still annoyed though
I’ll beat him up for you 🙂
No, as much as i want him hurt its only going to make me more of a public enemy around here
I just want some back up
I’m your friend 🙂
Really?
because whenever i get into one of these Mario Kart Spats your against me?
Like the Inside Drifting? Fire Hopping? and Rosalina?
Just because I don’t agree with you doesn’t mean I’m not your friend 🙂
both are true but you gotta agree its painful to have zero support in your claims
I’m sorry if I can’t agree with you? I don’t know what to say.Maybe there’s a reason why all of this is the way it is.
maybe the universe just naturally destined me to be always on the other side of the scale outweighed by the majority that is everyone
Or maybe you refuse to change.
But if i don’t stand my ground then whats the point of even trying
then everyone would be basically the same
I don’t believe in Cookie Cutters
Not what I mean. If you stand your ground when your opponent has used logic and you have countered with an irrational answer, you aren’t standing your ground; you’re being stubborn.
then i guess i’m just a very very stubborn person
Could be. And maybe changing that would be better for you. But hey, not my life, right.
understood but change never came without pain
I understand that. That’s why you have everyone else on this site 😀
Yep ^_^
You do realize i’ll probably back to my old ways by tomorrow morning right?
I thought I was your only friend??
I’ll go first, second, and every other place after that.
You watch. Watch me beat him up with my tongue.
Seduct- I mean…
Forceful- um…
You get the point.
Well, that’s that. If you face Rio in the Tournament…. good luck.
Back to MM breeding for me. 😀
Thank you so much! 🙂 Some of that doubt is going away! Good luck MM and congrats on the Chatot 🙂
If only that Focus Blast didn’t miss, I could have done more. 😐
Thanks and good luck, but I’m sure you won’t need luck.
Probs 🙂 and i def need it xD there’s some stiff competition here in the jungle *cough Regi cough* xD
Alright, please help me decide what to Shiny Breed next:
Friend Ball Shroomish vs Nidoran (I want male, but you know how breeding that is…)
Go for the Nidoran for a Challenge
Shroomish! Shiny Breloom is pretty cool :3
I need a tie breaker here. 😮
shiny nidoran, IMO hes cooler than shiny breloom
2 votes for each because Shiny Noivern isn’t very decisive. But here I am asking for opinions. >.<
If you want a challenge go for Nidoran.
If you want to take it easy, go for Shroomish.
Either way, both are great shinies!
Shroomish, so you don’t have to worry about genders.
Every time I see Keen Eye on a Sableye, I think of the movie Brother Bear. Cause Keen Eye sounds like Kenai.
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DhL9UWrpaa8/UPydzxiXmUI/AAAAAAAAfeE/0Ko5-wTlD74/s1600/Brother+Bear+Koda+and+Kenai+in+human+form.jpg
Well, Challenge Route it is. Shiny Nidoran (Male hopefully) hunt will now commence! I already have a 6IV Timid and Hustle one, so it will cut me some time. :3
u have a foreign ditto?
Yes I do. Most people do.
yeah i figured
are you going for Egg Moves?
hint hint….

When the game tells me that I’m breathing in Sync with my Pokemon during a battle.
XD
Oh knock it off
Quilladin as adorable
It’s a bit too derpy for my taste. I need to spend more time with a Quilladin in my party. But I love Chespin and Chesnaught :3
same
Oh no he’s not
is actually really unique and i wouldn’t change him at all if given the chance
It depends on bonds we make with our pokemon as well. I didn’t get Chespin til the post game cause I waited after I heard that one of your NPC friends (Shauna?) gives you the the starter weak to your choice of starter after being the game.
Well u can be surprised what kind of bonds and be born
Like me and Sawk
Ask me do you think a Big, slow brawler would bond well with a disciplined, Lean, Fighter?
I didn’t think so too but after i caught Sawk and battled alongside him we discoverec we both had a powerful connection, our fiery passion for battling.
anyone can bond with any Pokemon given the time
I battled with MenacingCascoon on Showdown once with a random battle, he totally swept with Throh. Sawk and Throh are good Pokemon.
I was looking through my PC today and I was hoping I hadn’t traded away my Azurill that I caught when I first started X and Y. I ended up replacing her with a Froakie on my team. But I found an Azumarill in my PC at level 30 and I checked the Info, It was caught october 12th 2013. It’s really a great feeling knowing that you can bond with something that doesn’t necessarily exist within the physical planes of reality.
i was kinda talking on emotional level of Pokemon
I want a life-size Chesnaught plush so I can hug it. But that would be really expensive. ;~;
Those eyes, they tell me that it’s in a never ending pain.
That smile says otherwise.
tru tru.
oh come on if one walked up to you would totally want to hug it
not really.
You look him in the eye and try to tell him you won’t hug him
http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/283/0/d/quilladin_by_twirlerena-d6pzjzi.jpg
I’d kick it and watch it rollsIt’s adorable. :3
Look at this adorableness!!!!! XD
refrsh
I’ll hang on to my ideals, ok thanks.
XD oh zekrom! you and your crazy ideals
http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/267/8/b/twin_quilladin_by_imaglelio-d6npkkk.jpg
(I didn’t make this. Excuse the obvious you know what on it – It’s an animal. All animals have organs. If you can’t handle it maturely – that’s on you.)
I found some really great artwork of what Quilladin would look like in real life!
If only it were real – I would so get one q.q
TBH. I was going to comment about what you said. XD Cool drawing!
Lol at least you didn’t freak out about it. I totally agree!
Ewwwwww it’s a wee wee
Your eyes are now gone D: The world has ended.
NL is still too young for that. D:
I like the little ears it’s got!
It’d make a great pet. :3
I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s just a nut down there, nothing major. 😮
True but it’s still a sexual organ and some people might not be able to handle it maturely so I wanted to let people know it was there.
It is really good! And honestly, if people throw a fit because the artist wanted to be realistic, then they can throw a fit. We all have them 😛
I mean, Females don’t xD Well, most. But nobody freaks out about seeing it on a dog or a cat. It’s natural.
Well, I was more generalizing that we all have sexual reproduction organs, but I can see the confusion. xD And yeah, nobody freaks out about it on a dog. Natural, and it will stay like that for thousands of years.
I think I appreciate the official art more
This is still cool tho
Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
But this is the Internet, so your opinion is obviously wrong.
Well, that’s a shame q.q
I don’y what you are talking about Mr. Man. Explain it please? For me? ;~;
About what? xD
You’ll understand when you grow up.
Sooo cute reminds me of my pet rat Lester (but he’s dead now….)
I wish i had a Familiar that followed me around
That went from joy to sadness in a span of 3 seconds.
new record
Why can’t they give Nidoran normal Gender Symbol placement and colors? It looks really odd having it as part of its name. ;~;
ikr!?
Not sure why they haven’t fixed this already and made it a gender diff instead of an entirely different species. Gender differences are totally possible now. It’s understandable as to why it was a separate species in Gen One but times have changed .-.
GG Dot! I like the monotyping you have going on :3
hah thanks man (: we should battle again next time! 😀
definitely! 😀 just send a request whenever you want!
Your name is just so beautiful :.)
Its majestic and idk why
Did you meet with Exeledus? He was here a while ago.
NO I DID NOT WHY WHYYYYYYY D:::::::::
SUMMON HIM BACK
What’s the point? I see now that you’re avoiding him. >:o
But im not D:::::
Djja just wants to let his mind excel q.q
Can we call you Dotty?
You can call me anything, sweetheart 😉
Nyerrrhhhhhhh you ain’t my type Bro
I’M NOT “BRO” IM “ANYTHING” HOW RUDE
Djja your a Drag Queen……
It’s technically pronounced “? Dot Dot”
what type?
it was a double battle and idk if Dot what’s me to display his team
Time for a certain Dedenne to go cuddle with its pack for the night 😀
Nighty nighty guys!
I’ll be going to Epcot tomorrow and I hope to find some cool Pokemon stuff over at the Epcot Japan Store! HYPEEEEE
aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww!!!!! just the thought of a ton of dedenne in one place is adorable
Hehe 😀
I got my fave Darkrai plush there :3
bye. going to epcot! XD
So fairy type’s japanese name translated to english is “alluring woman.”
I guess thats why gardevoir is fairy type lel
And azumarill
who dont want a slice of dat tail
Mr Mime is the most alluring Woman that I have ever seen.
Sets up those barriers to keep the men off C;
http://cdn.arwrath.com/5/54697.gif
Mr. Mime is Bae.
Hug Me ;~;
I shall, my sweet alluring woman
That’s what fairy literally mean in some Asian languages. 😡
“Dayuuum Tinker Bell you fine” – Asian Peter Pan
Sassy Dusclops should be fairy type then.
It dont need dat fairy type she know she beautiful she dont need dem stereotypical white standards on her ass 24/7
http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1pgrtDvnB1rna5rio1_1280.jpg
thats it, im catching a dusclops and naming it djja XD
“Djjalicious”
Definition: makes them Nls go loco
Ludiloco*
I’m not seeing it. What are you talking about? Because the word “yousei” could mean about 20 different things in Japanese.
every word could mean literally 20 things in japanese
You mean 20 different things to me, baby
Is that a threat
I think he’s talking about the Chinese word for Fairy, not Japanese.
That is not Japanese!?!?!?!?!????
EDIT:This initial response made no sense. I was talking about the fact that djja said it was japanese for alluring woman, when you said it was chinese.So which is it?
That because Your mother never loved you.
Now go to pm i have a srs issue
Eww. Jigglypuff plz.
Ehhh no
Way too thin for me
but i will admit Gardevoir has very pretty eyes
I agree azumarill is too thin
Snorlax is the only woman for me.
Ditto
Woah man. Ditto is a harlot.
So is earthen
OTP confirmed
not really i just don’t like thin
I hope symphonic Evolutions gets released on CD like the Zelda concert
Yeah! rocket theme is awesome!
The whole hoenn soundtrack should be entirely trumpets /10
Snorlax using hyper beam through its eyes in battle frontier is the only reason I am able to love
Wow
Don’t you mean Origins?
And i’ve been preaching foir and Optic Blast attack for a while
But the only thing that complicates me is what type Fire? Electric? Ice?
i was going to even base the type on the Pokemon’s Eye color
Nope, he rekd all with it in battle fronteir :,)
I miss when ash was less stupid
No, Snorlax never fired Hyper Beam through the eyes other then origins
always from the Mouth in the typical anime
Nah, but in battle fronteir tho…
nope
yup
prove it
Why should I waste my time lookin up a pick smh u do it brah
Googal et
to prove that your right and i’m wrong
Try to pass that opportunity
Earthen is right.
If I pass it up now theres always any other time you disagree with me 😉
Which is often
I’m very opinionated
wat
Love
What is love?
bby don’t hurt me
me
Snorlax eye canons
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/632/179/bab.gif
Ash’s Snorlax does indeed know Hyper Beam. I’m fairly certain his Snorlax used Hyper Beam the same way.
^^^ yup
but it always fired from the mouth
once the power glittered in the eye but the initial beam fired from the mouth
Yeah. Probably should have looked it up before saying that. You were right. Apologizes for that 🙂
http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=HN.607993466109038489&pid=15.1&H=120&W=160 Hate to be Debby Downer, but Earthen was right…
oh XD
I remembered wrong I guess
I googled it. couldn’t find any pics/videos of Ash’s snorlax doing that. It did, however, use hyper beam to fly.
What if there will be Mega Snorlax and it becomes all buff and muscular. Normal/Fighting? 😮
ew, no
The race for “I got ripped in 3 weeks!” memes begin
well that isn’t completely farfetch’d
Mega Evolution could cause Snorlax’s Fat Cells to recede and muscle cells will form in place
I am not a doctor and do not now if any of this is true but it sounds like it can be
OPTIC BLAST! YES!
@Big_Ol_Booty:disqus I think you might have Anatidaephobia o_o
If I knew what that was, I’d probably agree.
http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s–4VAkyTpF–/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_320/ftrpygibpdakvssg1ayp.jpg
He’s always watching 😀
Wow
So I just learned of Fire Hopping
so nao
on Tuesday
imma practice Fira Hopping while i get the character and parts i want
then beat people online (with tilt controls ftw!)
then face ya’ll
k im dun
Anyways. Snorlax was one of my fave Kanto pkmn. If i were to make a mono Kanto team
i would prolly go
Blastoise/Charizard
Gengar
Alakazam
Snorlax
Dragonite
Um… Machamp?
>Fire Hopping
> hoping Earthen doesn’t hear
> run
Is this a poem?
No.
But now that you say it, I’m going to make a MK8 haiku.
lemme think.
It’s a new type of poem called Mega Haiku.
Condense your message please. 😮
Condense it like condensed milk.
Lets battle so I can practice Fire Hopping!
Will o wisp
Baton Pass
followed by
Splash with hoppip
10outta10
Flame Orb Hoppip.
Do the right thing and only Fire Hop in time Trials and solo Prixs
never online
Fire Hopping isn’t wrong. It’s like L-canceling and Wave Dashing in Melee
WHAT IS WAVE DASHING
I HAVE NO IDEA (and I’ve been playing Melee since ’05 ;-;)
Or playing as Master Hand. Yes, you can do that.
But i hate those too
My Smash games fried before i could learn competitive Smash
Those jerks in Brother’s Grimm only play 1v1 and just make me look like a fool because i don’t advanced techniques
dude. I like you. your a nice person. but these are video games were talking about. and everyone plays differently. so theres no point in bringing people down because they play differently! If they want to, let them wave dash! let them Fire hop! Its in the game and is a tiny boost. so let others play the way they want.
great now i feel like jackass
dont! I’m just tired off hearing you trying to control how others play! i’m sure others feel the same. Just let them play how they want and play how you want. But dont lose your opinion! opinions are never wrong in my eyes, as long as you dont shove it down people’s throats.
Nah, it’s cool. But hoppin may not be in the booklet or whatever but it is a feature in the game. People discovered something to help them speed up, and you don’t have it do it, but you can at least respect the legit in-game strategies other people discovered.
Hating because you don’t understand ain’t cool, hombre.
Is hopping in the game? Yes.
Is Sableye in the game? Yes.
You either have to get over it and try to prevent it; Or die trying.
Jk join them.
You admitted earlier to fire hopping as well. It’s not a big deal at all, It’s just like IVs in Pokemon as was brought up as an example earlier.
but time trials and prixs aren’t against human people
and i’m still steamed because you used that to win
Nonono, on chat earlier Star was saying I was fire hopping. And you said you’re doing it too. Then we did another race and I talked about collecting coins, and then you raged about me stealing all the coins. So you admitted TODAY that you fire hop. Cut the crap, it’s part of the game. If you don’t like it, don’t race online.
honestly i didn’t know what fire hopping was
i thought it was boosting and getting back into the drift to boost again
Excuses. You were fire hopping. Stop crying about it.
i did not
I thought i was but it turned i wasn’t
Time Trials for the most are used against recorded human players. It might not be live, but they are still humans doing the record and playing the game.
New project! (refresh)
I dunno what to
Focus my haiku on so
Mario Kart 8 yay
HOLD IT! THAT POEM IS 5-7-6 NOT 5-7-5!
GET HIM
He dun messed up. Broke dem rules, forshame.
SEND ME A REQEST. MY NNID IS TCMETS17
