grass is the only decent looking one

 

[Braxton2011]

nah. Pig is going to grow up and kick ***, just watch.

 

[Kitamerby]

I guess I'll get stuck with the otter.

 

[Steam]

Its sad that thing has a type advantage on Luc

 

[Kitamerby]

It does depend on its secondary typing though, Steam. Maybe it's a rock secondary.

 

[ShippoFoxFire]

Or Steel...
Or Ice...

lol at fire/ice starter.

which WOULD make sense, since in gen 4, they tried to balance it out, and that all 3 evolutions now have a strong point on both others

Torterra: GRASS/GROUND (Adv over Infernape(FIRE/Fighting), and Empleon(Water/STEEL)
Infernape: FIRE/FIGHTING (adv over Empleon(FIGHT), and Torterra(GRASS/Ground)
Empoleon: WATER/STEEL (Adv over Infernape(FIRE/Fight), and Torterra(Grass/GROUND)

so a fire/ice would cover maybe the secondary type of the water pokemon :o...but water resists ice so...

****

 

[iDeo]

i swear these pokemon keep getting more cuter ever time they enter a new region. It annoys me because they don't look hardcore. There evolved forms better look cooler.

either way though, i'm still gonna get it when i get my DS

PS: can som1 link me to the opening for Touhou cause i think i skipped like 40 something eps ahead or somethin

 

[Kitamerby]

If anything, there's yellow and black on it, which gives hints of electricity, which would follow that logic.

The otter looks like it's water/ice.

As for the grass one... no real idea...

PS: can som1 link me to the opening for Touhou cause i think i skipped like 40 something eps ahead or somethin

Opening for touhou? What the hell? There isn't even an anime.

I'm giving you 5 min to edit your above post before I not change this...

ok even saw the real new one's...my statement still stands.

 

[KillerJawz]

I agree. He kind of resembles a smaller Flygon.

Grass/Flying anyone?

 

[Kitamerby]

I'd like to guess the grass type is a secondary ground, but Torterra already exists...

Actually, that might be perfect.

GrassGround is 4x weak to ice

FireElectric is 4x weak to ground

WaterIce is 4x weak to- ...****.

I'm not too impressed with staraptor. I'm just a huge Pigeot fan.

Staraptor used Intimidate.

 

[Gah777]

I love Staraptor, he's my faves of the birds

Also, Shippo nice avi ;D

Hey Deo, seriously explain this one, please.

 

[iDeo]

Hey Deo, seriously explain this one, please.

i was readin the posts that i missed last night to keep up with the topic. then i looked up Tohou on utube and found this little animated skit of it

this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLAQm2OcC-4

so i figured this was wat u guyz were talkin about and thought there was like an episode 1 cause i was interested in it

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

I hope that grasser gets a water typing, although that's unlikely.

I hope that Stealth Rock gets nerfed this gen. Otherwise competitive pokemon will suck like this gen.

haha half my teams were/are based around stealth rock.

Oh and just by the looks of it, i can see that grass starter ending up being grass/dragon

 

[Espy Rose]

All they gotta do, is make Stealth Rocks/Spikes/Toxic Spikes all temporary.
Force them all to disappear anywhere from 3-5 turns, just like weather effects.

I guarantee they'll see less play because of that.
At the very least, it'll become more balanced out. Force those type of teams to be more committed to those set ups.

Oh, and effin' make Tyranitar and Abomasnow's abilities temporary too. That crap's annoyin'.

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

Stealth Rock is broken in its current state, it basically is doing what Meta Knight does to Brawl's metagame. The metagame hasn't changed for like two freaking years even with pokemon getting new moves from the games and such.

Its the reason why I quit competitive battling for the most part (and I was on the top half of Smogon's leaderboard for years).

Easy way to annoy the crap out of people and win:

Spikestacking team.

Get a SR lead, Spiker, and at least two phazers. Ghost type is optional to block the spinners, but if you can kill the spinner before they do anything you really don't need a Ghostie.

Your opponent has to hope that Roar/Whirlwind drags in something that can deal with the phazer and if that happens just bring in your other phazer that should wall the your phazer's counters. There's taunters, but your opponent has to be fast enough to pull it off and there's not many fast Taunters that can take too many hits...

Having walls like Blissey, Skarmory, and Suicune are essential to using a SpikeStacking team because they wall soooo much and force more switches, after you get fully setup 37.5% damage is dealt to anything neutral to Rock that isn't a flier or levitator.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

i think the next question is, do the designers actually CARE about the competitive side of pokemon?

I'm sure you could just Shuttle Loop out of this crap if you really tried

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

Shuttle Loop is kind of like Scizor's UTurn that forces a lot of switches.

 

[TheBlossomingLily]

These days I keep a Starmie aroud in case of entry hazards, but it sucks when the opponent switches in to a Ghost type. >.<

 

[Gah777]

Just get a Zubat and teach it u-turn, twister, drill peck, and shadow force, and BOOM, MK in pokemon

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

I don't understand why people have Life Orb Starmie with Rapid Spin.

All this discussion is making me want to play Shoddy again...

 

[Espy Rose]

Yeah, let's talk about furries again! That's a fantastic idea!

Spoiler

Rule34 has already gotten to the starters/trainers. Those poor *******s.

 

[Gah777]

Espy, we can't just talk about furries all the time... Occasionally the topic must change or be productive, even though this is a social.

Spoiler

lol jk <3 furries. could talk about them all day, son.

 

[phi1ny3]

k, doubles thread needs a new owner.

 

[Indigo Jeans]

Remilia is cool.

I work for her.

in my extremely vivid recurring dreams.

The younger mistress is cooler though.

I'm her valet for a reason.

Waking dreams, son.

Edit I'll take it 'cause I want to do something worthwhile around here for once.


And DR is legit.

 

[tedward2000]

Just reading Myth's post is why I'm glad I gave up competitive pokemon a long time ago.
That and I just HATE online pokemon that isn't done through a DS. It's just pick what you want and go, no like training your pokemon, or doing everthing to get them where you want them to be.

Nope, click, choose, go. Its bull****.

In other news, I've been talking to a few of the guys up at NAU EDF program (some science club that has way to many tv's and ran many tournaments my freshmen year) about tournament directing for next year. If I get enough on the bandwagon, I could be running legitimate brawl tournaments.
-t2

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

The benefit about having something like Shoddy though is it advances the metagame so far ahead that we've pretty much realized the peak of 4th gen metagame two years ago.

I'd hate to spend all of my time EVing and other things to make a team that sucks. Ah well, being able to pass IVs off easier in HG/SS makes things so much easier.

 

[Espy Rose]

So does Pokesav.

 

[Braxton2011]

If it wasn't for Pokesav, I wouldn't even be playing competitive Pokemon.
