This
Only the real pokémons fans will understand
this:
mew, venonat, clefairy, wartortle, gengar, charmeleon
😉
who are you and why aren’t you dead
Pokerap? ’cause I can’t think of another reason for that random list.
oh jesus why is grinding so freaking tedious
i mean i have the throttle on making it bearable but imagine doing this when the Virtual Console
it took me 27 minutes of Biting Fearows just to get Larvitar to evolve (thank god for Exp Share) with super speed IT’LL TAKE A FREAKING MILLENNIUM ON THE REAL THING AND IF I WANT TO FIGHT RED EVERYONE SHOULD BE LEVEL 65+
(seriously do you not understand how painful it was to level a weak level 4 Zubat to 12? it only had Leech Life and that did jack)
and parts of me wonder if’ll be worth it on the real thing, i mean sure there’s the nostalgia of transferring the team to USUM but its not like they’ll be worth anything aside the potential to get old moves on pokemon and hidden abilities but it’ll just be PC fodder
Super Speed
yes the god given ability to accelerate at great velocity
Throttle makes Pokemon fun
Anybody else participating in Tiny Tourney? I’m 5:1 right now! Except my Wi-Fi dropped out on me at one point so it probably counts me as 5:2 :/
What teams have you seen so far
A lot of Chandalure, Alolan Muk, Torkoal, Excadrill and Sableye. A couple Mimikyus. There was one really unique team using all second-stage starter Pokémon, but that’s when my connection dropped out on me..
My team is Kartana, Minior, Whimsicott, Kecleon, Porygon2 and Porygon-Z.
BLEECCHH a Porygon2 and Z on the same team
disgusting
and i’m not surprised by the rest
A Diggersby tried revenge-killing my Z with Quick Attack…but they forgot I used Z-Conversion into Ghost type earlier. It was hilarious.
Kecleon and Minior? Interesting
The rest is pretty cool, What do they do?
Minior can boost up using Shell Smash and then it’s got spread moves like Rock Slide and Earthquake.
Kecleon has Assault Vest with Power-Up Punch, Drain Punch, Shadow Sneak and Sucker Punch. Super underrated competitive Pokémon in doubles or singles.
Interesting. But is it a good idea having all spread moves on Minior? Spread moves are cut by 50% in doubles.
Pretty good Kecleon. I would have taught it Fake Out, but thats ok
No they aren’t, that’s Royale.
Oh I mean 25%
Oh, didn’t know it did at all.
i’ll never forget the time i outplayed that Kecleon
the very first turn my malamar used knock off when he tried to use Shadow Sneak and got mad and surprised on the prediction
No, I didnt feel like breeding! How’s the tourney? What are some common pokemon? Whats your team?
I couldn’t. Had no Pokemon that I could train on the fly
Yeah, probably lost over half so far.
T_T apparently i could’ve bought a Larvitar from the Celadon game corner that is level 40…
well Pupitar is nearly level 40…..
So I live by the Mall of America in Minnesota and the Nintendo Switch tour is here all weekend. I finally got to try out Pokken and ARMS, and ARMS is SO FUN. Now I really wanna get it just to master the game..
Well heading to bed now so goodnight y’all
if you can’t sleep watch this

After slaying the Elite Four on repeat i finally got Tyranitar!!!
Thrash

Crunch
Screech
GOD THAT TOOK FOREVER
Welcome to the Tyranitar club
Earthen….go sleepies now…………been doing this for a solid 2 1/2 hours………i can’t blink……..
Tomorrow get everyone to 65 and fight Red
Tyranitar still the best pseudo legendary for me.
Tyranitar is such a good Pokemon to use ingame in GSC. It’s a real shame that Larvitar, Slugma and Houndour are all Pokemon that I would’ve loved to have used come September time but for some reason, they thought it was a good idea to put them in the postgame which has always annoyed me!
That is one of the reasons I hated GSC what possessed them to do such a stupid thing
It’s annoying cause I only use pokemon that are newly introduced in that generation so the only fire type I can use is Typhlosion. I wouldn’t have even cared if they put them as a late game –
Slugma could’ve been found in the Dark Cave on the Blackthorn side
Houndour on route 45 at night
Larvitar on Victory Road
It’s soooooo quiet
Where my euros at?
Here they are
http://img1.meristation.com/files/imagenes/general/pile-of-euro-notes.jpg
That’s your protection money ?
You know it ?
Eww, why did you post fake Monopoly money.
Been a while since I’ve commented on an article here – just been so busy with my final year of uni which I have now completed and will graduate in July.
As a catch up from all the articles, already planned out my GS teams (and currently finishing off Blue as I never did from before).
Excited for USUM and my thoughts are that it will be good, so I’m looking forward to that and using more Pokemon that I haven’t used before (who knows, maybe it’ll take place in an alternate universe and the base forms of Pokemon stay the same but they’ll all evolve into somin different – that would be cool and new).
And finally, E3 looked good to me, still not convinced with buying a switch but might buy a new 3DS to play USUM/GS and also Fire Emblem Warriors as I love the games from Koei Tecmo (just love hack and slash) so maybe I’ll treat myself to a new 3DS after using my old one since it came out like 6 years ago
Ngl that’s why I’m excited for USUM as well, I’m gonna use Pokémon I haven’t used so it should be good fun
This is. True, I’m the aunt
I think you erroneously added an ‘off’.
F I N A L L Y

So my names for Nuzlockes are getting stretched really far now, I literally just called a Mr Mime Dicie because it’s female and got retyped to Fairy like Dedenne
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Isn’t Dicie a guy?
Wait wat
Hesa dude
Oh ffs
Welp I’m outta nicknames
Just go to this link: https://disqus.com/home/forum/pokejungle/commenters/
It’s a list of every account that has ever posted in this website.
Thanks
-.- I feel a tad bit offended by that (If you find a Steelix on Iron Island I could get that name)
I already named something after you tho
What was it?
Ithsme 2
Ithsme 3
Ithsme 4. . .
There’s not enough room in this world for more than one Ithsme >:(
Ithsme 1 the Togekiss is already best boy
Togekiss always pulls through 😉
Gonna get me some heart scales and roll the rest of the game :p
Which have you already taken?
I’ll have to count up later, rn I just want to grind and get Byron out the way 😡
Nooooo you should’ve named a Pachirisu Dicie D:
Couldn’t catch one, my first encounter there was a Buizel
Press F to pay respects :'(

F F Sake 🙁
Now it’s a real ghost
Why did GameFreak put those two ace trainers at the end of Iron Island :<
Lucario gets steam rolled so it's pretty much a 1v2
But he died to protect Ithsme :<
The sacrifice will be avenged
Murder all Staraptors
*salutes*
Farewell my fellow friend for your fearlessness against that fiend (;-;)7
For our friend Seraph the Rotom, whom passes on to the hereafter, may it find peace after its’ tragic end.

stupid thing deserved to die
‘stupid thing’ saved your ass over and over
Don’t care, this stupid thing causes me nothing but problems
Well since the other day we were talking about stories in Pokemon, so I’m going to play story mode Yellow (Story mode as in I create a story with it as I play)
Yellow is a pretty good one to do that with. I always struggle in Yellow with the decision to evolve Pikachu or not since it no longer follows you.
Yeah I got the idea from watching Season 1 of Pokemon that I have majority of the season on video
I should watch that again at some point. I just started XY but I can’t watch it again until Wednesday when my Netflix is renewed (or rather the friends’ Neflix that I leech off of renews it :P).
That supposed to be a RebelTaxi reference?
No, I don’t know what that is or how I might have referenced it.
He’s a YouTuber, I believe it was when he was talking about Bojack Horseman, he started off with :”If you have or leech off another person’s Netflix account…”.
HOW DOES A DODRIDO SURVIVE A TYRANTRUM OUTRAGE
Because ‘Dodrido’ is an underestimated treasure
Dodrido is the Dodrio evolution
GameFreak pls
That would probably be Doduatro if it actually happened.
i called it Doquadro
That probably sounds better.
it has literally no defense whatsoever
it was supposed to kill it allowing Vivillion to easily kill his primeape
Saw Wonder Woman, yesterday night. Pacing was off sometimes, but great actor performances and the ending was quite well conceived. Still quite a lot plotholes or stupid presumptions on the characters part.
There was this weird part with a women speaking Dutch with a German accent, on the Allied side. Still don’t know why.
Agreed, also Aries looked kinda terrible at the end, like I think some of the CGI wasn’t too good in other places but his design was just bad.
The movie was fun though. There’s always this problem when trying to introduce a new superhero character, too much ‘backstory’ that is possible to fit in a movie. But there were some ‘like, uhh what made you think this’ moments in the movies. Like the entire premise of going to the Belgian front, to destroy a gas factory while the doctor was hiding in this German military base god knows where. The gala was also conviently placed next to Veld. Guess we can blame this all on Ares though.
Yeah, I think they handled the backstory fairly well. Spread some of it out for later in the movie and included the clayby origin in a way. There’s a few interactions that felt kind of forced but largely it is a good movie and it is the best of the current DC movie universe (although I hated Batman VS Superman and Suicide Squad was eh).
well so far nearly everyone on my Crystal team is nearly level 60ish…..do you think it’ll be enough to beat Red?
I bet Red with a level 30~ Steelix in my party before
Youll do fine
Doesn’t Red have like Pokémon in 70s and 80s?
Yea, but this is gen 2. It cant be that hard
Send out a Pokémon that resists his and just spam to victory
Do eet, Red is kinda easy anyways tbh
i mean my team perfectly counters his
Donphan Pikachu
Heracross Snorlax
Crobat Vensaur
Tyranitar Espeon
technically no legit counter for Blastoise but i’ll just keep hitting it until it breaks
and Feraligatr on Red
How do you guys Play Pokemon through Story Mode? Go into detail if you want. I will start and set the example.
Personally, I use ‘set’ battle mode. I think it makes the game much harder and more realistic. You never see in the anime “Im gonna send out Solrock, will you switch your Pokemon Ash?”
Training wise, personally I always fight the gym leader no matter how underlleveled I am. I only start grinding after I lose around 3 times.
Team wise, I usually make a team before I do a playthrough. But I went into Sun pretty blind, so its fun seeing new pokemon and how to make a team with those. Also I try not to repeat types, but that usually cant be helped.
I came, I saw, I conquered
I have it on switch as I like to balance my exp. gains. Although I often just leave what I have out in battle. I make sure to battle every trainer before a gym and am usually around the right level anyway. Since I plan my teams ahead usually I have something that can win through even if it’s quite under-leveled. I really don’t like type overlaps.
Oh I do that too. EXP balance is needed now. I remember as a kid I always had my starter the highest level. IDK why. I just needed it to be higher
Yeah, I also don’t like using EXP.Share at all. Like I’ll use it for Pokedex completion etc but not on the main story.
I’m not too picky, but I use set and I don’t overgrind
I usually have on Switch for strategic and grinding purposes but I’m considering putting it on set, I don’t grind too much before a gym tbh, and I always make sure that none of my Pkms have a level too high/low compared to the other members
Me for story mode I go through the game as I usually do, but I also chroniclize (write it all in detail down) it, but I skip the harsher training (grinding) like the show does. I set to shift mode. And I also yeah try not to overlap alot, but if it happens so be it.
It can be tough when you are using Pokemon you like and there is type overlap, at least for me. It’s bad if a region doesn’t have a great distribution of types in the new Pokemon.
WAIT U DON”T NEED FLASH AND WATERFALL TO GET TO RED!!!!!!!!!!!!
I BROUGHT YANMA AND GYARADOS FOR NOTHING!?!??!?!!?
I’M GONNA RACE BACK GET THE WHOLE TEAM BACK AND FIGHT RED PROPER
You still need flash otherwise you can’t see shit in the cave.
If I can get through Rock Tunnel without flash I can navigate a single room
Anyone else here not care for type overlap at all? Like I’d avoid dual types who have the same type but I’ve used say Galvantula and Zebstrika on a team
Im sure most people are like that
Idk I’ve mostly seen peeps who avoid overlap on here
Depends on what I plan on using
Example in my run of X I had
Chesnaught
Diggersby
Pamgoro
Tyrantrum
Barbarcle
Avalugg
Two fighting types and two rock types
Didn’t think you’d be the avalugg type
It’s a gigantic iceberg thing why wouldn’t I use it
Didn’t think you’d use any ice not called Mamoswine
that is not true
Beartic
Walrein
Abomasnow
Crabominable
and technically Snowslash
What do you mean technically 😕
i mean i hate Snowslash but i’m saying i’d use it
Why do you hate Aloslash it’s so cute
because it took away its Ground Typing and Sandshrew is one of my most favorite Pokemon (i still have the little Sandshrew and Sandslash tomy figure i had when i was four)
and i’m still annoyed by the whole steel typing, i like the type combo but its just making it worse off without Slush Rush to carry it and how it freaking became one in the first place i could overlook Sandslash getting it through evolution like Drilbur getting steel but Sandshrew just should’ve been pure ice to make it even
also the damn Ice Stone they just HAD to give it to evolve i mean why would it need one the damn thing when the original doesn’t, i get Vulpix but i feel that was very slap-dashed just to give it more use (yeah yeah the Dawn Stone is similar but seriously they make a whole new evolutionary stone just to barely give any pokemon the pleasure of using it
That’s because it’s a new stone and they can distribute it to more Pokémon in the future. And other Pokémon had evolution methods changed, for example AloPersian now needs friendship and AloWak needs to evolve at night.
It’s not like they stole Ground from Sandshrew. Its still a Ground type, it’s just that there’s a variation that isn’t Ground type anymore. There’s still Ground type Sandshrew so that’s not really a reason to hate it.
And Aloshrew’s shell is steel? That’s why it’s steel type. Unlike Drillbur, who has no steel on it.
I’m saying how did it become steel out of nowhere, all they say on the official site is
“Sandshrew’s body changed to adapt to the harsh environment of the snowy mountains. The Alolan Sandshrew has a shell of ice covering its skin, which is like hard steel. It excels defensively, but it lacks flexibility and can’t curl its body into a ball like a Ground-type Sandshrew can.”
Like hard steel isn’t the same as is hard steel and that bugs me so much (especially the can’t curl into a ball part that’s like 75% why i love it so much)
Sun: lives on snowy mountains. Its steel shell is very hard—so much so, it can’t roll its body up into a ball.
It’s shell could’ve become harder because it had more fierce predators, it’s as simple as that. There doesn’t need to be some kind of grand logic as long as it makes a decent design
i know the dex, and i get that but it doesn’t explain how its thick leathery skin transmogrified to a metallic alloy
this will always bug me
Fam there’s rats shooting electricity and a foxcatrabbit that can spontaneously mutate into eight different types, Pokémon genetics are whack
literally every time the Pikachu defense
well eevee is explainable because of its literal highly unstable genetic makeup
i’m just saying something like regional forms need a healthy dose of science to justify, i mean something like environmental adaptation evolution needs reason to work you can’t deny that, even pokemon try to say how and why these changes occur
Because Pikachu defense is all I need, it perfectly illustrates shit doesn’t need to.make sense
And they give loose reasoning to justify the designs, it doesn’t have to be realistic.
And for all we know all Pokémon have fucked up genetics and it’s just Eevee has it the most fucked
its a very poor one because everyone should know the story of Pikachu’s conception by now
It still doesn’t make sense how a rat can shoot electricity by real world standards, so stop holding the game up to real life standards ? ? ?
because this one was made to do so
i still think Sandshrew should’ve been pure Ice
Dude this is Pokemon not real life…
If I plan a team on advance I try really hard for types to not overlap, but if I don’t plan my team I just catch anything that looks cool/pretty not caring about types overlapping
It depends. I never do more than two types over lapping and usually it is only if the two Pokémon can do well without getting overshadowed by the other. Like they have to be dual types
I can’t do that. It bothers me.
Follow up question: how much can your teams change up whilst you’re playing the game?
Although I make plans for fun, I actually tend to never follow them. I just pick stuff up if I like them, and then use them or box them depending. For example in my first ever run of Sun I levelled everything I caught on Melemele up to Level 15, but halfway through Akala I decided to use the Cutiefly I caught instead of the AloGrimer that killed Totem Gumshoos and Wishiwashi just because. I also wanted to use Tsareena, but needed a Grass type for Wishiwashi so I picked up Fomantis, and next thing I know I’m murdering the game with scope lens Leaf Blade
I always plan my team so I only ever catch HM users
See I feel planning would be boring, I can only ever do it when I’m replaying a game and I want to try out new stuff :v
Well the thing is I pretty much know where each Pokemon is in every game so I end up planning anyways.
And if I don’t plan in a new game I feel like I missed out on some and I don’t get to replay it until a new set of games come out so… yeahhh
I’ve planned every team since X and Y
Except my Moon play-through (which was planned), my team can change a lot, because I end up finding wild Pokemon that are more interesting/stronger than my current Pkms, sometimes I catch new Mons so I can face the Gym leader more easily (like when I caught a Geodude in Emerald so I can win against the electric gym leader)
I plan and then use other stuff until I can get all that I want. This prevents any over-leveling of starters etc.
Well red is a total pushover
Donphan easily killed Pikachu
Venusaur like all Venusaurs tried to stall but was sliced in half by Crobat
Espeon was powerless against Tyranitar (yet it had Mud-Slap that was annoying
Blastoise I just hammered with Dynamic punch and he hit himself twice letting Strength prevail
Snorlax paralyzed Heracross but I just Reversaled until dead
Now comes the moment of true https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/01a437071af6e5634b0aa13cdda1b20bbfea467135d33f823128a64b512e95a8.jpg
