Question: what was your first pokemon? mine was totodile
hmmm. piplup?
Squirtle
Treecko
all of your picks are some of my fave starters!
Charmander
Cyndaquil
Johto!
That was my second starter 😛
That was the only starter I ever use when playing that generation.
I alternate 2-3 times cyndaquil to 1 time totodile
I tried Chicorita once, it wasn’t too bad, but Cyndaquil is still my favouirite G2 starter.
Chikorita is my bae. Still, I like them all a lot. I think I’ll use a Totodile in my next playthrough of HG.
Mudkip in Pokemon Sapphire some 8 years ago.
Squirtle was my first he took my pokecard…….but bagon is my real love.
Lol your pokecard.
It’s a serious matter……he made me squirtle. 🙁
Oh my
Turtwig
Well, officially: Chespin when I bought my first game, Pokemon X.
I did mess around with Pokemon Red and Pokemon Crystal on playr.org, and I had a Charmander and a Totodile respectively. I never finished either game.
Love all your starters!
Torchic :3
that charmander best starter hype tho
Charmander’s my first very pokemon but Squirtle was my first pokemon to reach lvl 100
Squirtle 🙂
Must have been Torchic!
Mewtwo was the first I can remember
Alright i’m going to bed…. and when i wake
3 days lie ahead

Oh dear…
Chingyyyy
i love chingaling
I hate chingling :/ The only redeeming quality is that it’s a jingle bell and I love Christmas
but is so cute
Ehhhh I tend to dislike baby pokemon.
i mean they are useless and they dont bring nothing to the table. but some of them are cute
Maybe I would like it more if Chimecho got an evo and became more relevant.
chimecho got stat boost atleast
It did? How much?
+30 i think
+5 sp. attack, +15 for defense, and +10 for sp. def would help it
That and Mime Jr are the only two I excuse
Probably only Togepi for me, the original babe 😉
I like him, and Muchlax is fun too.
Munchlax is…tolerable
my mimey

Mime Jr > Mr Mime
Mr Mime needs an evolution to make it decent.
It’s supposed to be the sort of bell they have at Japanese shrines.
And I’m not just saying that because I hate christmas.
Interesting. I’ve never heard of these bells. Makes sense

*Hucks a full beer bottle*
I ended up preordering both games, and now I’m trying to decide which to play first. I wanna say Sun, since I preordered it first, but Moon has Midnight Lycanroc and Drampa… decisions decisions.
Well, both have Midnight Lycanroc if you’r willing to catch it on the 4th island at night
ugh no luck hatchin shiny ponyta at all… might go safari up a jigglypuff or something
Omg I’m listening to Platinum’s music and crying. It was so beautiful. T-T
Ok wow so this is crazy. So I’m in once of those moods where is want to really f*cked uo scary stuff on YouTube because ya know, who needs sleep and found this video of this caller who called in on this radio show. His voice was super uneasy and shakes and he was panicking. He claimed that he worked for Area 51 and was released on a medical discharge. He said that he had been traveling across the country for a week and that what we know as aliens are being used. He used the term “inter-dimensional beings” and said that they were using them to lower the population of major places in order to make it more controllable. Few seconds afterwards the radio signal was cut off and the show escorted to a back up cable.
A while later, someone called back claiming that they were that guy and it was a hoax but many debate whether if it was actually the same person or if it was and he had to be shut up and lie that it was all fake. Nobody knows if it was real.
HOW AMAZING WOULD THIS BE AS INSPIRATION FOR SUN AND MOONS STORY WITH ULTRA BEASTS
(If you know the SuMo story don’t confirm or deny this)
Are you sure you’re not drunk?
no I have no rum 🙁
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxvDCx-ILhk
a bit of captain and Dr pepper sounds good right bought now. I think most u guys still in school tho no.?
Not me, I’m in my 20s.
No idea what captain is but I wouldn’t touch Dr Pepper or Coca Cola with a barge pole.
Tbh I haven’t touched a drop since the early hours of new year’s day, but when I do drink it’s wine, proseco or cider.
captain Morgan. spiced rum.
Oh right. Never tried rum.
I don’t tend to drink spirits.
most of the time if I do drink it’s rum. but that’s only like once a week or so
I swear to drunk I am not god so don’t worry about it
I will give you a horrifying one, I check out horror related stuff all the time, I love it, and horror is one of my favorite game genres. anyways, check out the channel “mr. nightmare” for the best quality horror channel. there’s a video about disturbing 911 calls (emergency services here in the US) and a lady named Ruth’s call always gives me chills.
Wow I was tired last night I spelled nothing right
Do we know if we have any lore behind Z moves and Z crystals?
Erm…. pancakes?
When the 18th comes I will be leaving for a while and I may or may not return.
wha-… why?
Mainly because the game is released 5 days early for NTSC regions so all the people in PAL regions are going to be bombarded by spoilers and being constantly reminded what we’re missing out on for 5 days won’t be fun. Avoiding it will make the time go quicker.
When I’ve finally got the game I’ll probably be playing it instead of using my computer for a few days and I’ll be trying to take it slowly to make it last this time.
As for the potentially not returning thing, it’s been fun here, but once the game’s been released there will be nothing to speculate about or anticipate, so there will be less reason to hang around. Besides which when I get here it’s hard to leave so I could do with cutting down anyway.
I don’t know, I might return, it depends how things go.
oh. well if you do decide not to return, just remember that even though you and I didn’t always agree on everything, I still considered you (and everyone else here for that matter) a friend 😀
I can’t remember us ever having any major disagreements, at least not compared to some of the disagreements I’ve been a part of here.
(That said I think the person I’ve had the least disagreements with is Earthen, ironically.)
It’s nice to know I will be missed if I do go though. Like I say, I might return afterwards, but it probably won’t be for a while.
It’s always fun to just talk about the other random stuff between games 🙂 just something to consider
:'(
well, I’m not sure if anyone is familiar with the youtube channel “Epic Rap Battles of History” but they finally made a pokemon one, between Ash Ketchum and Charles Darwin. kinda relevant I suppose.
Various other people brought it up earlier.
I’ll give it a miss, I don’t like rap 😛
its more for the comedy, but I’m with you there.
Rap generally sucks, but I find some of these humorous.
The one rapper I like:

Huh, I wonder what this could possibly have been made for?
Kanto remakes
The title only says Wonderful Funny Pictures. (so non-indicative of the story heh)
The starters play with a ball and lose it. They stumble upon Time City where time seems to have stopped, so they play pranks on the time-stopped Pokemon (expecting the time to resume later). Eventually they find the ball lodged in the clock tower which is the cause of the time stopping. After they remove it, time resumed which resulted in the pranked Pokemon getting confused and trolled.
Probably for that certain Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game involving Time or something? Though it does say Pokemon Daisuki Club in the end.
Hey so I saw this thing that when you use a Z move in conjunction with a status move an additional effect with occur, i.e. Your attack raises by 1, etc. my question is: say you have your Rowlet use a normal type Z move in conjunction with growl: will you do damage the way you would with, say, tackle? Or would you just have the side effect that comes when growl is used with a Zmove, or both? Hope my question is clear! Because these Z moves are really confusing me lol
If you have a normal type z crystal on your rowlett and you press on the z power option,
Your normal type attacking moves such as tackle will turn into breakneck blitz, the normal z move and will do damage.
Growl will turn into Z-growl
I’ll raise your attack by 1 stage, which is the z power side effect and then the normal growl animation will play and you’ll lower your opponents attack. It will not do any damage
RIP Talonflame

And yet it still has a place in the meta as a hard counter to Beauty given it doesn’t have any way of shutting down Priority on its own.
I don’t usually do this but here http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-476276963
Haven’t been able to play another game every other player just quits when they see a team of talonflame
I wouldn’t quit if I was using Swagplay vs a Talonflame team… :p
UB-03 looks like an SMT design

I thought we weren’t getting Fossils this Gen?
*Laughter is heard in the background*
Anyone alive? I’m out of school for an appointment and I’m bored as all loving heck
How about dem Necrozma? How do you guys think it’s related to Solgaleo and Lunala?
We need one last “road to SM” article!
So I spoiled myself with the basic plot…. IMO plot of sun and moon = Pokemon + stranger things
