Don’t forget to come back tomorrow and share what goodies Santa may have brought you!










Am I REALLY THE ONLY ONE WHO IS NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO BANK COMING BACK?! I DON’T WANNA SEE HEATRAN LANDO EVERY SINGLE GAME
i think the worst thing is move tutor sets. Now you will never know if a Greninja has Gunk Shot or a Mega Scizor has superpower until is too late
I mean…. honesty that doesn’t worry me too much, as something like Scizor could use Defog sometimes
But that means every team is gonna be
Ferrothorn
Lando
Heatran
Toxapex
Garchomp
Tapu Lele
the sad thin is bewear walled the hell outta scizor and fini could do the same with greninja and now they wont
Y’know what does that job even better? Araquanid… and I can prove it
Neither do I, I just want solely Alola National Dex
Not even pre gen poke
Yeah..
I can’t wait to bring my Umbreon over my most prized pokemon!
I mean…. if you say so
It’s the my most prized in terms that it has a ton of Ribbons ,is level 100 (the first pokemon I got to that level) and it’s my favorite.
Awwwwh!
It wouldn’t mess with my VGC ’17 except enabling some egg moves (like Fake Out Salazzle).
It would because most things are pretty cancerous and would destroy it
VGC ’17 will forever be only Alola dex and Alola bred/caught mons only and no Megas, BTW. There also won’t have tutor moves by definition. It’s in the rules.
Wait…. what……
(starts packing a suitcase)
IM OUT TO VGC
Great, come join the circuit!
The only thing you’ll have to deal with is it’s Doubles, but trust me, you’ll love it. 🙂
I’m not a fan of doubles cause it kills a lot of the mons I use
Like which mons? I’ll help you build a team!
Araquanid, Komala, that kind of stuff
BTW, Komala isn’t great in general.
Araquanid wins tournaments though! And I showed you recent VGC tournament results that it’s good!
Oh I know, but I won’t be able to AV it and run the set I run
Komala is good man….. TRUST ME…. it is an AMAZING support pokemon
You can AV it… AV works and it is good. Kartana, Goodra are other good AV users.
You don’t need protect all the time. 🙂
I knowwwww
Have you ever seen what a real Komala can do? Wish support, immunity to status, and Hazard removal all on one set
True I’ve seen support Komala in singles, but I’m talking about VGC ’17, where Wish+Hazard removal are sub optimal in 4-mon doubles. Especially since there’s less opportunity to make great switches, and hazards aren’t ever used.
I know, hence one of the many reasos why I don’t like Doubles….
I want to bring all my babies with me to Alola 🙁
I want to to get the IV they missed ;~;
Same here! So many shinies with that one IV, I already have 13 bottle caps saved up :3
And get bodied by Landos every second?
isnt lando banned on smogon formats tho?
I mean Lando-T ….. aka the worse one
so are you telling me smogon ban the one that nobody use but kept intimidate lando roaming?
Yeah, they did that… IT IS ON EVERY DAMN TEAM
No, Lando-I is the worse one. <3
But it was never used
It was never used in Gen 6 because it was banned to Ubers, BTW.
Even before it got banned it was never used
I’ve gone from competitive to casual over the years. And besides, I don’t agree to battles with legends on them. It’s not an OP thing, just a dumb mental block of mine xD I like to battle with Pokemon I’d realistically be able to obtain.
I’m fine with every legend besides Lando, Tran, and Lele
The only time I use legends are legendary battles for fun xD
XD
I smack Nihilego on my teams a lot tbh
I wish others thought the same BUT NOPE JUST HAVE TO LOAD THEM ON THERE
WHY MAKE AN ACTUAL TEAM WHEN YOU CAN HAVE 6 LEGENDS THAT NEVER DIE
I don’t think all legends are OP. But I just treat it like if this were all real (I wish lmao), would I actually be using these legendaries in battles? XD More than likely no, so I much prefer battles with regular Pokemon.
Oh please name a legend and I can tell you how it’s op
And non of the Phione crap because that is the shit stained response everyone uses
Guzzlord
Articuno
Regirock
Guzzlord has solid hp that lets it absorb hits if faced incorrectly
Articuno has very decent bulk all the birds people are running bulky these days and actually works
Regirock is a extremely solid physical wall and a garuentee SR
Guzzlord is actual booty cakes though and facing it incorrectly is impossible if any of your mons have a fairy move
Articuno is in Pu for a reason
Regirock is fought mainly with special attacks… it dies quite quick to those
That and Hazard cleaners
I didnt think Decent bulk meant OP. I guess Avalugg, Abomasnow, Araquanid, Gogoat, Aurorus, Oranguru, and hundreds of more are OP. Earthen can I be your translator because when you say OP you just mean annoying.
Araquanid is bulky though
Bulky still does not mean OP.
I know, I just wanted to defend the fact that it is Bulky because he’s my spooder child
If you can’t touch it how are you supposed to win
Well if you cant touch then you cant win. But only 1 pokemon has wonder guard. All things have a weakness. Bulky pokemon have a weakness to taunt
Unless they are araquanid and stealth rocks basically shreds them
And Electric types and flying types
Well I mean… electric not so much… it can eat hits from Xurkitree
Why are you even over here, just to argue with me,
“Name a legend that’s not OP, but not Phione because it;s a legend that’s not OP”
What did I just say
To me, everyone competing online is a Champion in their own pocket dimension, and have their own legends since it’s part of the story to capture them as the Champion and main protagonist of their own story.
That’s a nice way of looking at it too 🙂
Volcarona isn’t in the game therefore it’s imperfect.
Same with Altaria. Why is there no Altarianite in Sun and Moon ;~;
Sheer force of will
Altaria is underrated yo
But it might not even be good in this meta
Accelerock and done
(Implying Lycanroc is not a pile of trash outside of Accel and Stealth)
I meant Araquanid
That might be a threat if lycanroc midday wasn’t the only one who carries it or if it had arena trap
It’s a solid Set up and surprisingly good on Pheramosa
I mean I only have
SR
Toxic
Accelerock
Crunch but it does its job well
Why use that over Comfey against Phero? Comfey pretty much hard counters it
Why would I ever use a Comfey
Because every single fighting type not named Lucario or Toxicroak will die to it no exceptions
That stupid the thing is a glass cannon
Comfey? Hell nah
It has 100 in each defense stat and has a priority healing move that frequenltly heals more than recover
That’s a bold faced lie
It has shitty 90 defense and shittier HP at 51
One solid Steel or Poison Attack and she is done
Mudsdale easily kills it with a single Heavy Slam
The killing part is true… but all I’m going to say is that Comfey is surprisingly good as long as you don’t play stupid with it
Triage gives it a plus 3 priority draining kiss that basically lets it gain back 40 percent of it’s health a turn without much else
With a big root…things get insane
Bah I say
I want to strangle it with its own lei
Stupid phermosa.
Idgaf, it’s beautiful
There’s more to Pokemon than being good in competitive. I used Altaria before Altarianite was a thing, and it won me some very close matches <3
Oh I know…. I mean when Bank comes in all hell is going to break loose
Dude the shit gets DDance AND COTTON GUARD
I love Cotton Guard
Fehhhh
And Roost
Another thing they failed to nerf was recovery moves
If they could make DBond fail in succession they could’ve easily done that to all healing moves
Same, I don’t want any of that same old VGC sets from Gen 6 anymore, I want some fresh air for a change
I don’t just mean VGC
I mean singles too
You do realize that generally you can’t use non gen 7 pokemon in online play and in VGC. Lando and Heatran will be banned probably until the D&P remakes, or when ever they decide to add them to the game for gen 7 proper.
What about singles though, thats what I’m sayin
If you’re talking about singles battles spot, that depends on GF decide the rating battles will be about.
Free battles have always been “anything goes” within the rules.
I mean on there.. and on smogon…
Smogon has always been bankmons once bank is available. It’s inevitable, let’s just play bank OU to practice. 🙂
VGC ’17 rules are only alola dex and alola bred mons. There won’t be a influx of Gen 6 VGC sets… there’s also no megas so no mega kanga.
I can’t wait only because I get to have all of my Pokemon back with me, like my Whimsicott! and many others as well ^_^ I don’t have a competitive team with any legendaries in it tbh xD I like to use my favorite Pokemon and just to have fun with it
Whismicott s already available
Maybe they have a loved and memorable, possibly shiny, Whimsicott…
Mhm! you’re spot on about that, as you said I do and this one is very precious to me so I can’t wait to bring her over 🙂
Meh I hate them too but we have to deal with them
(Dies)
I need help with something:
So after like 4-5 months of not playing Pokemon GO, I decided to open it up today. But whenever I try to open the app, it crashes after a split second of going into the app and goes to the home screen. Is there a way to fix this?
Did you update it?
I checked the App Store and it looks like the correct update, with the Holiday Pikachu
Are you on android? If so, do you have Apps 2 SD?
Try moving the entire GO app to the main phone memory. It had been installed with anti-emulator code at some point, and it being on the SD card is one of the things they updated it with.
Sadly I have an iPhone, so I can’t do that. But thanks for the advice
Nononono, iOS don’t have to deal with that problem. Especially since iOS don’t have an external storage support. iOS should have it easier.
In that case, did you update your iOS firmware to the latest?
I’m on ipad myself, and GO still works.
Oh ok, my apologizes at my misunderstanding. I’ve been very out of it today.
Anyways, I haven’t updated my phone in a while, so that’s prob it
Happened with me. Honestly I’m over and done with the game
Finally one actually legit win of the day
Making this losing streak a solid 25
yo malco can you trade rn?
What’re we trading again? Timid Ditto for Arcanine? Yeah I can.
yes i will send the request. Pandora right?
Yeah and we’re done! 🙂
yay! hope you like the growlithe
Great, nice egg moves!
And apparently I’m being suspended for work for a week….fantastic…..
what for?
A combination of getting angry and being caught in the bathroom using my iPad
Anybody up for a battle Royale

Carrie Fisher just died at age 60
…
FFS this is the first celebrity death that really hit me other than Alan Rickman.. she was just 60
i cant believe it. ugh she was amazing
It was very suprising and sad, and just right after Christmas too
Sorry if this offends anyone
(Maybe Killing Princess Lia would have been better then killing Han Solo in Star Wars 7 cause now both are out of the script probably)
But it is sad death makes me sad
i thought she had been doing better 🙁 may she become one with the force
Well I gotta go, but I just wanna say for the people who wanna get into VGC ’17 and seeking refuge from the Bankmons, I can help build teams to start with. We can also make a VGC thread in the forums.
hacked shiny ditto on 6iv and impish nature? bless WT
Sweet
@MalachiteCat:disqus Just noticed your icon and I love it
I wish I drew it! 🙂
I couldn’t find the original artist… I just found it on google image search but it was hosted on not very well crediting places….
Probably this http://namelessfrost.tumblr.com/post/149845838701
How many no guard fissure Machamps do u think are going to show up once bank is released? do you guys think we’ll be able to transfer mew from yellow, red and blue?
I dunno how they’ll limit that, I heard there’s rumors like all transfers will be HA, which will stop no guard fissure machamp from existing…
🙁 I really wanted to try that….but oh well ?
put a scarf on it and you would win all the time
No Guard doesn’t stop type matchups, right? It’d still miss fliers and levitaters…
tru, i would use it for in game leveling up even tho khahili would never be affected by it
Useless on sturdy and flying types
It’s still a rumor, tho! No Guard Fissure might still exist…
Can’t you just ability capsule though
Ability Capsule only changes ability of Pokemon with two base abilities; so it don’t affect HA, nor can we get HA when we don’t have HA.
That reminds me
What about my Red team…
What if they’re all girls……. I only want two females
Rhydon male
Charizard Male
Vileplume Female
Dewgong Female
Electabuzz Male
Aerodactyl Male
I swear if they have shitty natures and abilities I’ll be moderately disappointed
Yea I can wait to see what gender my pokemon turn out to be.
They are all going to be fabulous ladies
Z-Conversation needs to be banned
Z-Conversation?
Free stat increase to everything and a type change
Oh I thought Z-Conversation was just a really heated conversation
Nope one tiny boost to defenses allow it to recover and absorb blows until your moves get stale and it can counterattack
you mean conversion?
1020 sos caterpie. No shiny (with shiny charm). I hate this damn worm
im such a happy red rat today 😀
You found a shiny Ratata?
what gave it away
pfft ill never tell
well its my favorite shiny currently i really like the shade of red
God, the new vox video just reminds me how terrible this freaking year was..
In This year I had FFXV, pokemon SM and Robie Rotten, so it was good enough for me
Heh heh, yeah I guess you gotta look at some of the positives.

Noice
Robbie Rotten was a great addition to 2016
Stefan Karl.
yea ik thats the actor, the meme helped him a lot with battling cancer
Leaked by Laura Kate Dale:
– Switch will launch March 17th in the UK, and in Japan+US in the same week
– There will be a version available for under $300
– The entry model will have at least 32GB
– Two third party exclusives available at launch, Mario/Rabbits RPG being one of them
– Initial VC library will disappoint in terms of raw volume of titles
– Pokemon Stars has 20+ new Pokemon
Switchmas can’t come any sooner
I Still cant get over the fact that we’re going to get a Mario/Rabbits RPG…
Not surprised tbh. Everybody saw how big a hit Hyrule Warriors was.
the thing is it might not even be that bad
I might even be good
or game of the year
It might be FFXV WHICH SUCKS ASS.
or breathe of the wild
Breath of the wild doesn’t try to be an RPG while having NO GODDAMN MECHANICS FOR ME TO ENJOY… ALSO THE HUNTS ARE BULLSHIT AND I STOPPED PLAYING BECAUSE THE ONLY THING ENJOYABLE TO ME IS THE CAMARADERIE AND THAT ISN’T ENOUGH TO KEEP ME PLAYING FOR 200 HOURS.
ALSO THE SOUNDTRACKS. THE SOUNDTRACKS ARE ALSO GOOD.
If it was a Mario/Rayman RPG I wouldn’t mind, BUT FUCK THOSE GODDAMN RABBIDS ALMOST RUINING A PERFECTLY GOOD FRANCHISE.

I was actually thinking of Everybody loves Rayman from that MAD show on Cartoon Network.

Hmmm very interesting. I’m intrigued with the ideas of there being a cheaper version of the Switch and Pokemon having Switch exclusive Pokemon. Makes you wonder what Stars really is.
A third version like Platinum focusing more on Ultra Beasts and Necrozma. Its so obvious imo
I suppose. But in that case you could still get the Pokemon added to the actual dex in DP. They just weren’t shown in the dex. In this case the new Pokemon wouldn’t be compatible with Sun and Moon at all. Also I doubt they’ll do a regular third version again. At least not for a while. The rumors state that Stars will be an all new original story. Whether it still has to do with Alola and our island crew is up in the air, but it won’t be a rehash with updates I don’t think.
Yeah so more like a Black2/White2 idea, but with way better visuals and additional new Pokemon. I also expect Alola to be bigger and we’ll have gyms again since there are (conveniently) 8 empty lots in Sun & Moon
Yeah I can definitely see gyms making a come back. I hope they properly integrate the gyms and Alola’s culture. I don’t want just another adventure that stars a kid that for whatever dumb reason decides to go out and conquer the Pokemon league and inexplicably defeats an evil organization. What SuMo did right was connecting everything together and gave your character an actual reason to go after the bad guys lol
Hopefully in stars our character will emote a lot more https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/796826e7b066576522b1726a3ec82827be38df30a317cb3234e4a578e49178dc.jpg
Also RIP Carrie Fisher. The news ruined my day and its 23:44 here
:O in my región too
And she was only 60. That is what hurts me about it most she was just 60
WHY MUST THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!
Dang I thought she was stable? was it another heart attack?
yes
It was stable supposedly, but the entire time she was in intensive care. so that sums up to her not doing well at any point of the whole thing……Too bad really……
Her body was probably stable, but the brain damage probably hit her hard.
So sad :(((( I need to find the perfect pokemon to name leia now in memoriam
Man….As great a year for Pokemon it has been, I gotta say I really hated 2016……So many deaths and so many dumb decisions…….It’s like the universe just decided to give up on itself and now we’re all faced with the slow decline……..
Don worry, 2017 Will be better…
IT BETTER BE
Will it….? Will it really be better….? I’m not so sure……lol
Dont say that 🙁
I’ll try to keep myself in better spirits lol
Yes because 2017 starts with KH 2.8 on January 24th, which means it’ll be an elite year
KH and DQ have to be where all the effort is going at Square with how bad 15 is compared to what it aspired to be.
15 ain’t a bad game though!
It’s a Game I don’t want to play. It’s also Unfinished and the devs knew that. It also was Rewritten a million times. I would rather play 13 because despite the plot and characters being crap it has great mechanical design. in XV I feel like I’m making too much progress because I’m not improving my characters at all. AP and the Ascension system is also Bullshit, that system doesn’t have enough nodes to counter the size of the game, and the nodes they do have cost ludicrous amounts of an extremely sparse resource. I feel I should be going in and using it pretty often, and it isn’t designed for that. The combat is fun, but it’ll never really improve beyond the basic level. I like the Bros, and their Camaraderie, but the lack of being able to improve them over the course of gameplay is extremely off-putting. and the Magic system sucks ass, WHY ARE THERE ONLY 3 ELEMENTS… I know you get the rings and royal arms later but that doesn’t make up for getting rid of the most varied thing you could have had. I thought that maybe you could logically mix 2 elements to get a new one, or that catalysts could change that, but no, you get 3 elements sometimes with a twist. and you reach a point where you can’t come back for a while way too early compared to all the crap there is left to do for my taste
Gorilla memes, celebrity deaths, wild fires, political divide, shootings…. uhg, why
Is it possible that the human race as a whole is just awful? hahaha
No, there are alot of good ones, I think the bad ones just get the lime light
It really is too bad….lol
Besides pokemon, pretty much everything is a disaster this year

Sorry I’m just a bit obsessed with Tracer right now
You would. 😛
It’s okay

aaaaa shes just the best
http://jeremychong.deviantart.com/art/Overwatch-Tracer-FanArt-602591878
and through the Miracle of science
Same!
😀
My water starter is a Manta Ray….. And I can’t decide whether to make it water/poison or water/electric
Water/electric! Shocking stinger. 😉
😀
Yeah my ideas where
A Radioactive water poison with inspiration from gamma rays, can melt through anything
A Plasmatic ray with a transparent body with enough energy to black out a large city in mere seconds
Those are the two ::3
Water Electric, more opportunities design wise
The starters I’ve been drawing are all based on Mythological creatures. 🙂
😀 What kind?
Mine are ..
A Tasmanian tiger grass starter’
A ghostly centaur fire type
A Manta Ray (Likely Electric)
Well, I’m mixing it up. Dark, Psychic, and Fighting.
Dark is a cute troll.
Psychic is a harpie/Siren(think Odyssey(I struggled with this one not being dark)
Fighting is a minotaur because adorable.
Those are awesome! I can pick my fave of those easy
What’s your fave of mine? ;3
:3
Depends on that Centaur tbh lol
Whaddya mean? Clarify :3
Depends on wut
On what it looks like. Is the Human part going to be a humaniod or more animal-like? 😛
It depends. The upper half is definitely humany, kinda warrior like, but its bottom half is unmistakably horse like, so it’s sorta in the middle
Then definitely Manta Ray! Lol 😛
😀
Why so anyways XD
What type does the siren end up at final evo?
It’s gonna be a Psychic/Poison with Levitate, so far.
YES!!
Minotaur is Fighting/Ground(Haven’t decided on the ability yet. I might given it a new ability Earthen Warrior. :P)
Troll ends up being Dark/Ghost just because I love that typing. I’d also give it an ability that nullifies fairy, but makes fighting types hit it.
That’s cool!!
😀

Yeah @PokemonCompany yeah can you announce a new game so PokeJungle can be alive again? Yeah thanks bby <3 <3
Let’s talk Pokemon dressed as Overwatch characters! Tracer, go!
idk but I just like Tracer she cool
I’d be willing to bet Stars will be announced sometime in May. I can’t imagine it’ll come out before September/October so that’s likely the best bet.
BLEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can’t wait that long
Sorry, but it’s much too early for them to start talking about a new game lol

Hmm… I’d rather they hold off for now? I’m not through plumbing the competitive depths of Sun and Moon yet… 😮
