  16. So I need suggestions for my next SOSs

    -Phantump

    -maybe Bruxish

    Reply

  19. So of all your beginnng teams of each region, what type have not used yet? Why not? Do you regret it? Do you plan on using it in in the future?
    If you used it all what took you the longest to use?
    I didnt use a Bug type until Vikavolt. I do regret it because gen 5 had amazing bug types and I totally missed out then, but oh well. Vikavolt is awesme. I also didnt use a ghost type until gourgeist even though I should have used Aegislash.
    (Also who wants to play me in Smash Bros??? Dont be a coward!1)

    Reply

    • -Fairy (technically Psychic too)
      -I don’t need a explanation
      -Not one bit
      -never
      -The longest was Ghost and Psychic the first Ghost I’ve ever used was Golett and for Psychic I’ve only used Spoink in Roma)

      Reply

    • Dang dude I don’t wanna think through all that. I think I’ll be using my first dragon this playthrough? Though I think I used Dragonite in white 2? Not sure

      (I don’t wanna play smash because I don’t wanna turn on my Wii U)

      Reply

    • the fact you waited so long for bug and ghost hurts me
      I….. know a type I didn’t use for a while was rock and I used an Armaldo. It was cool

      I don’t think I’ve actually run a fairy ingame before…
      I’ll probably use comfey first

      Reply

    • I can’t really fully remember any of my teams past like ORAS so like… I vary my types a lot because I really enjoy varying my team each time but if I’m thinking of my two ‘first’ teams in each region, I used

      Blaziken/Roserade/Gyarados/Glalie/Aggron/Salamence

      And for Sun I used

      Primarina/Salazzle/Lurantis/AloChu/Ribombee/Lycanroc

      So haven’t used Ground, Fighting, or Dark in any first teams yet but I don’t feel like I’m missing much because I enjoy them so much. I do tend to prioritise having a Fairy, a Grass, and a Poison tho.

      Throwing in my first (and only) Ultra Sun team of Incineroar/Meganium/Kingdra/Lycanroc/Florges/something else I don’t remember rn so I probably still haven’t used Fighting or Ground

      Including all my teams tho I’ve used every type but I’m low on Dragon. I’ve done monotypes for Dark (White), Normal and Poison (White 2), as well as Water (ORAS).

      Reply

    • Oh wait beginning teams only?

      Rock, fairy, normal here… never first ran with one of these
      I have a feeling fairy might be used soon for me though

      Reply

    • Hmm Water type… JK I always use a Water type

      But I’ve never used a Poison Type on my main team I believe if never beating a game, but starting games with Bulbasaur counts then I’ve used every type (But least used is Dragon with only Turtonator)

      I sorta regret not using Poison types knowing I like quite a few (Oh or to face my brother so he could be rivaled in X v.s. my AS I used Muk)

  20. Not sure if anyone is into the Devilman series but they have finally released Devilman Crybaby on Netflix. I hope that this is going to be the good anime adaption of the manga that has been sitting around for a couple decades but we will see. I will probably watch all of it over this weekend if I have time. If anyone is interested in the series but is hesitant to devoting 4-5 hours of their time then just reply to this post.

    Reply

  21. What’s your first team from each region that you remember? I’m just gonna use the first banked team I used from each reason bc then I can actually give a first team

    If you’re lazy like me and can’t be bothered just say three regions (like the latest three, first three, or your first, fave, and least fave).

    Following from that, which of these is your favorite?

      Reply

  24. Three separate, yet simple, questions.

    1) What type do you usually go for when it comes to starters?
    2) Do you actively try to incorporate the Grass/Fire/Water triangle into teams using a starter?
    3) How much of the Eeevees have you used in a team?

    Reply

    • 1) Fire, even if I’m not a big fan of the line. I broke my streak in Sun and got cursed with the worst Popplio possible. So back onto the fire streak.
      2) Not actively but I think it might be subconscious. It just tends to happen because of how good the synergy is in game.
      3) All eight of them. Sue me. They’re all great and I love them all. Now just give me a Poison type one, or finish it with a Dragon Eevee and then make a physical type counterpart to Eevee.

          • It suffers from a poor movepool and the fact GameFreak hates physical fire types

            But it has decent stats and the ability has easily abused ingame where the AI’s prediction is abysmal. Use Leavanny as bait. Switch in Flareon. Sweep with… uh…. fire fang

          • Turt is an example of shallow movepool =/= bad because it just doesn’t have the stats to pull anything off. It either needs a bigger moveset or better stats.

            In-game Araq for example has a shallow moveset for a water type but it works because it has what it needs to use said shallow moveset

          • Wait, i meant Turt is shallow = bad in game. It was one of my least favourites because it only really helped for stalling physical things and things weak to fire.

            Whereas Araq in game is ‘shallow, but it works’

          • I got you
            I’m being dead serious when I say Turtonator might have just been the worst thing I’ve used ingame. Literally Magcargo was better

    • 1) Design mostly, I just pick what I think looks better, sometimes I pick some that I haven’t picked yet

      2) Nope, when it happens is usually coincidental

      3) Actually none

      Reply

    • 1. I WANT to go for water starters, considering its my third favorite type, I’ve gone for grass a lot. Bulbasaur, Chespin, and Rowlet to be specific. Its tied with water, meaning I’ve chosen fire a total of once
      2. Actively no, my teams do focus on balance and beating types but I also wanna ensure it uses mons I like
      3. A total of one: Glaceon. I plan on using Sylveon soon

      Reply

    • 1) Water, almost always the Water starter appeals most to me, but I’ve gone for Chespin, Turtwig and Charmander over the Water types (Granted I still use Squirtle and Piplup alot)

      2) Meh sometimes

      3) I used Sylveon and Espeon, that’s about it

      Reply

    • 1. Depends on my order in the group and design. (I have choose 3 grass 2 fire 2 water)
      2. No, no need to limit self
      3. Flareon, Umbreon, Espeon, Jolteon, Vaporeon.

      Reply

    • 1) I always choose based on the designs, sometimes also typings
      2) Not really, tho I am satisfied if I have the triangle
      3) Uhhhh… Sylveon… And I think that’s it. I really wanna use a Jolteon tho.

      Reply

    • 1. Until Gen 4 I loved Fire starters the most, even though my favourite from Gen 1 is Grass.
      2. I try if I can, but I don’t strictly enforce it, I prefer a more balanced team even if the means foregoing the G/F/W core.
      3. I’ve used Jolteon, Leafeon and Sylveon in main games, and Umbreon and Espeon in Colosseum so most.

      Reply

    • 1. I alternate between fire and water ( snivy being the only exception I picked a grass type starter )
      2. I try to incorporate the triangle when I can, sometimes it doesn’t work out depending if I already planned out my team before I start playing
      3. I have used Umbreon in VC Silver version and used Sylveon in Y version

      Reply

  25. Alright I’m joining in on the fun of replaying Black. Will prolly dump my starter as I’ve already used all three, but should be fun to try and use Pokemon from the rather larges dex I never have before.
