Say hypothetically, stars turned out to not exist, How would everyone react?
I'd be shocked.

If that were the case, then what would all those objects shining in the night sky be? What would the sun be?

EDIT: Wow, I thought you meant actual stars rather than the rumored Pokemon game.
This reminded me of one of my favorite cartoon scenes:

I've been looking at pokemon fusions recently, they're a fun concept I welcome with open arms.

They can blend pretty well together and make something that seems pretty natural and cool.

Or some even oddly blend well, but are, well... Pretty odd.

Just lean towards the top pic if you do it(besides Kyurem-B/W) gamefreak.

Ok Light gym leader is Sonny now,
Has he rejected the ways of the puffs?

Oh, please, you'll hurt his/her feelings...


In other news, I managed to trade a Type: Null for my Kartana :p
I always thought Guzzlord looked kind of weird but I've started to like him.

Haven't gotten him in game yet though. Xurkitree is kicking my ass

Guzzlord's pokedex entry mentions how it's droppings have never been found.

I think he's in desperate need of a colon cleansing

So I ran into this girl who happens to have an OP Miltank on Route 8 that murdered half of my team. And they were three levels higher than it.

What is this supposed to be, a repeat of Whitney's Gym Battle in Gen2?

I think so because you're not the first guy I hear who had trouble with that trainer.

I don't blame him for assuming "SE damage=resistance" as I'm pretty sure most of us did on their first games
Late reply, but like I said earlier, the guy made 2 seperate videos on the subject. Plus, it's not his first Pokemon game so I don't see your point.
And I prefer Acrobatics for ingame usage, BB's recoil is significant and you can pair it with a Berry
I think the thing that annoyed me the most about it is the fact that his Decidueye never used a Z-Move, which is kinda sad tbh.

Green Buzzwole would have to be named Cell. He reminds me of his middle form. What with mixing orange, green and black.
It's Cell and Trunks SS2 fused together

Or "Ultra Trunks" as the internet calls him I guess

First three turns against Lusamine's Clefable.

Turn one, yank back Decidueye because Fairy + Ghost = Oh Hell No.
Not strictly true but my Decidueye has PTSD from Mimikyu.

Out goes Snorlax. Clefable Metronomes into Rage. 6HP.
Keep up that good work kiddo, only 201 to go.

Turn two. Clefable Metronomes into Sing. Giga Impact fails, because sleep.
Neat. Hey, wanna see this fun trick Snorlax does with Rest?

Turn three. Clefable Metronomes into Purify. Sleep Talk fails, because no longer sleeping.

So what are guys thoughts on this year in video games?

It was better than the last two years for me
It was ok, I guess. Although I ended up getting only four games released this year (Super Mystery Dungeon, Ratchet & Clank, Planet Robobot and Pokemon Moon), which is less than during the two previous years.

Forgot to answer this, but pretty good.

Pokemon was great, got into Dragon Quest, KOF made it's return, FFXV and The Last Guardian came out even though I don't care for the latter I'm glad it came out and more that I'm probably forgetting.

"Man, reseting for a Modest/Timid Xurkitree takes too long, maybe I should try with the second so I don't have to constantly see the pokedex registration screen"
*finds Timid Xurkitree on first try*
Well that was quick
I then went for Celesteela and got two Brave ones smh

So I've just got a female Salandit.

Just got to ask some of you how good are her evolution's stats?
It's alright I guess. Her moves are pretty good tho.
Mines level 37 or so and it can die fairly quickly. Wish it was a lot taller as well. >.>

Still one of my favorite mons ^.^

My battle with Lusamine's Clefable went like this:
>Clefable is on low HP
>My Salazzle has its Sp. Atk lowered thanks to Moonblast
>Sludge Bomb Poisons it
>"Sweet! Now it will die to the Poison-"
>It has Magic Guard

"Salazzle has an unique typing which not only gives it solid overall STAB coverage, but also useful resistances to common offensive types such as Fairy, Fire, Ice and Fighting. Thanks to its good Speed and decent Special Attack, it can be quite offensively threatening, especially given that it learns Nasty Plot. Furthermore, its ability enables it to poison any Pokemon, regardless of typing.

Unfortunately, its own typing, which already forces most Steel-types out, isn't adequately suited for its ability, not to mention that its abysmal bulk prevents it from making good use of its ability or defensive typing. It also completely lacks coverage outside of its main STABs, and thus needs to rely on Hidden Power to hit common OU pokemon such as Tyranitar, Heatran and Garchomp. Its weakness to Stealth Rocks is also a big detriment to it."

-source

In short: Teach it Nasty Plot, Flamethrower, Sludge Wave and whatever in the last slot and you're good to go. I chose Toxic for the last slot to punish Toxapex and friends from trying to wall Salazzle.

They're still updating it? That's great, I love that comic.
He has always been updating it... just not constantly
The last update before this one was literally a year ago
But man, I'm willing to wait another year for it, the comic has always been great and it started not only what is probably the most fun Self-Imposed Challenge but also the other Nuzlocke comics that came after it.

Though RIP Space Cat, hope Nuzlocke finds a new artist for it.

Yeah Salazzle is this weird thing where its typing and abilities scream "toxic wall" but then you see her stats and she's like lol jk im a set up sweeper.

Almost Any Ability thoughts of the day:
Innards Out Chansey is the ultimate way to deal with Dragon Dancers.
Well actually that ultimate way would be a smart strategy, but this one is hillarious.
I just fought a Gyarados with the usual Sub + Dance strat and I just switched to Chansey, waited till he would attack me and kill it in one hit.
A weakness of this is actually smart play, like whittling it down but maybe I can think of ways to make this strat even dumber (maybe I should run Soft-Boiled but eeh)

Triage anything is dumb too.
I tried it on Mew, who had all of its moves (Drain Punch, Leech Life, Giga Drain, Roost) boosted to +3 priority.
Eventually it just fell to anything good that these moves couldn't hit super effectively. (But the sweep you can get when the opponent is weak to Fighting is glorious

I tried it on Buzzwole, whose Leech Life is already bonkers in vanilla OU, but now +3 priority. Yay
I also tried it on Conkelldurr which is like the Mew Drain Punch sweep but STAB.

Levitate Xurkitree should not work but it does.
Really shows how borked Ultra Beasts are: I can run a Leftover wall-ish EV build while Tail Glow + Electric attacks are still borkedly strong.
Anybody in their right mind would try to send an Earthquake my way, but that lil turn of immunity gives me a chance to either Tail Glow or Thunderbolt for the kill.

Last but not last: Alolan Muk with Grassy Surge. Sounds really awkward and weird but it really isn't: Alolan Muk's only weakness is ground, and Grassy Terrain halves Earthquake damage and he recovers for days because of sludge and terrain.
It actually works.

I don't know if I have the money to buy it on the PSN.
Plus, it is on the PSN? (Also, I know the story is awesome! It's freaking METAL GEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!)

*takes hat off* I was almost at 50, too...
Keep at it! I made it to 50 yesterday.
Mega Metagross and Minior put in a vast majority of the work. and Tapu Koko cleaned up.
Red's team was a pushover for me though.
