  1. Finally someone to vote for
    Bertha is the first Female Ground type specialist along with the first Elite four to specialize in this type

    And not for nothing she tells it like it is in the anime and personally taught me to observe everything

  2. flint is terrible, that had to put his entire team under the knife for platinum (unless maybe it was trash in order to give platinum an obvious advantage dex wise), how is his ronald mcdonald ass winning

      • just my opinion you don’t have to agree, but to be honest out of every pokemon character I have ever seen he is by far the most unappealing in terms of designs for me, like of all time including every character in the games. And his story was minimal at best so it cant really sway me.

  3. All of the shinoh elite four members pretty much suck…
    Flint has no fire types
    Bertha is nice but still a little boring
    Lucian seems like a rehash of every other psychic specialist
    Aaron is cute and I like his team so that’s who I voted for

    • Turned out it was a translation error and the Riddler just meant we’d hear news pertaining to the Z ring soon rather than a specific day. I would assume he meant the 4th.

  4. I chose Flint. Although I don’t particularly like his design (Aaron’s is the best of these 4 IMO) he has some things that edge him ahead of the others for me. Infernape being one of these things. I also actually liked his more varied team in Diamond, I didn’t expect it (I didn’t know the full ‘dex beforehand), so he kept me somewhat on my toes. I remember having a pretty scorching battle between his Infernape and mine, mine was around 6 levels below his but knew Earthquake. His HP was low enough for me to finish it with a Blaze boosted Fire Blast, which I thought was fitting. I still have my Infernape from back then 😀

      • Yeah, I get you, I’m gay, but I’m not choosing the characters I want to fap to in the slightest, it’s just not even in my mind, I choose who I liked the look of and who had a good personality.

  5. For some odd reason I couldn’t stop thinking about potential moves for Salandit
    I figure
    Quick Attack
    Toxic/Poison Gas
    Flame Burst
    Poison Tail
    Attract (I honestly see it more as a female species)
    Poison Fang
    Fire Spin
    Mean Look
    Flatter/Swagger
    Clear Smog
    Inferno

          • When do any of the flavor text end up playing a severe role
            I say Salandit won’t have gender based evolution because already Salandit produce a noxic fumes from their tails but Females have a pheromone effect which plenty of females produce naturally

        • Most defensive/support Pokemon are capable of learning a few good attacking moves of their stab Types while levelling up

          Alomomola learns Hydro Pump
          Bronzing learns Extrasensory and Heavy Slam

    • I feel it will learn Thief and/or Will-O-Wisp naturally, and maybe Knock Off. Glare will most likely be an egg move. Tail Whip/Leer and Scary Face may be in there somewhere too. Of course most of it will depend on it’s evolution.

    • My only fear about sandlit is that they will pull a helioptile. It’s an awesome design that can really be expanded upon with an evolution but I’m scared they’ll give it one Evo and then just stop. Wasting all its potential in the process.

      Side note, why doesn’t helioptile have a third form 🙁 everyone thought it would become this huge electric dragon lizard beast and… Nothing

      • well in that case i hope it is borderline useless and will be constantly abused by EVERYTHING
        it can’t survive without a Air Balloon
        weak to scald and earthquake AND Stealth Rock/Rock Slide and Psyshock which is competitive 101
        requires a shit ton of carrying so it doesn’t die in one shot
