  • I don't think it's gonna be a good time because my dad came at the last minute and offered me to buy a game and buy some High Def cables for my Xbox
    I also sent this with its alternate version on facebook, but if you get on SWF first....

    Ok sure, sorry I had to leave so abruptly, my parents wanted to use the computer.

    Let me explain some more about tiers for when you come back

    Tiers are determined by usage, not how good a pokemon is as the common misconception is. An infamous example of this is Umbreon. Umbreon gets bounced back and forth between OU and UU every couple of months because of how usage goes up and down during that time. Also, just how Ubers is the ban list for OU, BL is the ban list for UU. The difference is that there is no metagame for BL pokemon. Instead they get used in OU sometimes.

    That's pretty much it until you come back in
    Well, for example, the relaxed nature in the chart says that it gains defence and loses speed. Get it now?

    Alright lessee if there's anything else that I'm missing.... I suppose how you know typings work and everything right? Alright so now, just like in smash bros you have tiers, we have tiers in pokemon as well. There are 5 tiers in all: Ubers, OverUsed(OU), BorderLine(BL), UnderUsed (UU), and NeverUsed(NU). Ubers are the top and NU is the bottom with OU being the standard tier. Each tier has a different metagame. For example, Ubers is either offense based or defense based, no in between. You get me?
    That's it bro :)

    Alright, now time for natures. Little kids think of natures as a neat little feature to help themselves get connected with their pokemon, but us competitive battlers see them as a valuable asset. Most natures raise one stat by 10% and lower another by 10% as well. There are 5 natures that do absolutely nothing and thus are useless. They are Hardy, Serious, Bashful, Quirky, and Docile. Here is a chart to help you understand this:

    Time for the next subject

    Now that I'm on the subject of pokemon resources, there is a thing called Serebii. Serebii has all the information on upcoming pokemon games and they have pokedex-esque entries on pokemon where all their moves are listed and everything.

    Fun fact, Serebii is actually japanese for Celebi :D
    I thought I said what PO/Shoddy was, but I'll explain again.

    Pokemon Online and Shoddy are battle simulators. You can make you're own pokemon team and battle other people. You can customize your pokemon in every way. Shinyness, EVs, IVs, moves, everything. Now you ask what the difference between them are. Well, PO has a very good user interface, but it's mostly filled with n00bs, as most of the people there come from a very poor skilled pokemon community. Shoddy on the other hand has a worse interface than PO, but it is filled with skilled battlers around my level more or less. The other thing I'd like to mention is that Shoddy was made by Smogon. Smogon is basically the leading authority on pokemon. They made the tiers and they have all the information on competitive play. They even release a weekly "issue" called the smog. It's like a magazine that they post up for people to read.

    I'm VMing you again to explain something else because there's a 1000 character limit for VMs
    Righty-o

    Now IVs... well IVs are invisible numbers that go from 0-31. 0 means that your pokemon sucks in that particular stat and 31 means that it's beast at that particular stat. This means that 0 is as low as the stat can go and 31 is as high as it can go. There is no way of changing IVs and are permanent once you obtain the pokemon Now, this doesn't really matter much if you're using a battle simulator like Shoddy Battle for example. It doesn't really matter because if you're on Shoddy or Pokemon Online, people will just assume that you have perfect IVs on a pokemon. It DOES matter if you're using a cartridge. You usually have to breed and go through a lot of trading to get a pokemon that has decent enough IVs. I would recommend using Shoddy or PO though. Got it?
    Actually it's EV (dunno if you just wanted to add a bit of flare to it or something).

    First things you gotta know are EVs and IVs. EVs are like mini stats (lol dunno how to explain it any better). It takes 4 EVs to gain a stat. For example, it takes 4 EVs to get a stat up right? So we get a Caterpie (lol first thing that popped into my head) and it gains 4 EVs in Speed. When it levels up, it gains a Speed stat. Certain pokemon give certain kinds of EVs. For example, if you battle a Ralts, it'll give you only 1 Special Attack EV. However, if you battle a Magikarp, you'll gain 1 Speed EV. There are certain things I'd like to point out about this. It IS possible to gain EVs using Exp. Share and there are several EV enhancing items i.e. Macho Brace that I won't get into and you can research yourself on your spare time.

    Next are IVs, but you're following me at this point right?
    Well sure. Tell me, do you know anything in the technical aspect of Pokemon at all? Anything
    Ummmm sure, yeah I think I can brawl. Just hit me up when you're ready and I'll get to you.

    But if you wanna brawl tomorrow, I won't deny either, since I'll be home all day anyways


    ??? I really suck at directions. I put it together but I hated how it turned out so I made a comic in the mean time. I'll figure out how to make things look good.
    you dont have to do anything. I just wanted to see if you were okay with me changing a post of yours.
    Yeah , though it isn't really much different from the other title we had

    We just hated the color and the other name, so it got changed.


    In reality, nothing changed much really

    Also, my image:

    Yes sirree


    Lemme get home and I'll sift through my photobucket to find a sprite I want in it :)
