I made this a while ago
And to my surprise, Smogon liked the tweet. That's something I need to check off my bucketlist
I don't know anything about comp Pokemon so you're going to need to elaborate on how this nectar sappin' lookin ass is god tier.

Though, I'm not complaining. I will gladly bow to our new Uber overlord. They're so cute!

Here's a topic for all of you:

Name one thing that you liked in your least favorite generation of Pokemon.

Here's mine as an example:

Kanto: Though far my favorite champions, I thought it was pretty cool how the champion battle turned out to be against your rival.
Sinnoh had a bunch of cool Pokemon at least
Especially the new evos like Weavile and Magmortar

Hmm... Does the team I used in the game count?
Because while I hate Kanto with a passion, I absolutely loved my FireRed Team.
There were other stuff such as alot of the Pokemon that were introdouced, and just like you said, I think it's pretty cool that your rival is the champion, even though Blue isn't my favorite champion nor is he my favorite rival.

Hoenn: The whole sequence in Emerald where it rains heavily and the weather is burning hot and you have to fight the legendary PKMN to stop the world from being destroyed.

That and the dope Champion theme in the game. Too bad Steven got booted out for Wallace. Wallace was a joke of a champion.

It's not an actual Uber, it's just banned from little cup because of the combination of quiver dance and baton pass.

*sees Nintendo Switch conference time*

Well I'm rather worried how my chances of preordering it will go since it'll have to be preordered the following day if preorders open up immediately, but that doesn't seem SO bad.

*checks NeoGAF thread*

*the majority of the comments are Europeans fuming about the time frame as though they think it was a personal insult*

Ooooooof course. :/

Gen 1 had some great things that most other gens lacked. The non-linearity a decent amount of the game had, easily one of the best Safari Zones in the franchise, and some of the most memorable locations. The gist of the PokeDex is pretty great too, with only like one or two Pokémon that I dislike.

Kanto and Kalos had great Pokémon, and the actual region for the latter was nice.

To elaborate, Little Cup is a meta in which you can only use first-stage unevolved Pokémon.
Cutiefly gets Quiver Dance to boost its Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, and Baton Pass to transfer those boosts to other Pokémon, making it a monster. So it went the way of Porygon, Scyther, and Sneasel.

Johto had some awesome music and some great designs. It also introduced a lot of things I love about the series.

Have any of you ever tried to preorder a video game system? How did it go?

I'm trying to see if I can get an idea of what to expect.

Which is ****ing dumb as LC is the ONLY tier without the Baton Pass clause so it got ****** over for no Reason as they should have just used the BP Clause
Well, personally I don't see any harm in not having the BP Clause as of present because its not really a prominent issue. Nobody shared the same issues that Cutiefly presented.

"Cutiefly was deemed broken because in addition to a high/top quality sweeping set in Quiver Dance, it was able to Baton Pass its boosts to multiple other dangerous sweepers that generally did not share checks with Cutiefly or each other. These boosts were far more dangerous than what any other Baton Passer could pass after a single turn of setup. This drastically increased the matchup issue because a combination of Cutiefly and a recipient was, again, enough to easily sweep the vast majority of otherwise solid teams, made even worse by the diversity of Pokemon that appreciate +1 to SpA, SpD, and Spe."
-source

This is why again, I support the ban, because enforcing an entire clause due to one Pokémon is not fixing the actual problem.

I don't know how you could look Canadian. Literally anyone from any country looks Canadian since we pride ourselfs(well the good ones) in being diverse.

Yooka-Laylee canceled for Wii U? That's was the console I chose for the Kickstarter.

Now should I get it for the Xbox One (to go with the Banjo-Kazooie games on Rare Replay), Steam (I think my PC is powerful enough), or get a refund for a Switch release.

Hmmm...

So where do I go to change my console choice for Yooka-Laylee?

I can't change it on Backerkit and I don't see a link/guide from Playtonic.

Yooka-Laylee getting cancelled for Wii U is disappointing, though understandable. I have a PS4, so I have a console which the game will be on.

I REALLY wanted to play it on a Nintendo console though, I'm not sure if I'll get a Switch by then.

This probably finalizes my decision for getting Shantae: Half-Genie Hero for Wii U. It could be the very last thing I get for the console.

That new level does look really good though. I wish more games did casino levels, it's such a cool aesthetic.

I'll wait for the Switch since I'm already saving up for one as it is.

Plus the PS4 and XBO versions are inconvenient for me.

So since some of you are planning on getting the Switch. . .what are your plans for how to get one, anyway? Are any of you considering getting ones at launch, and if so how do you plan on doing it?

. . .Trying to get my game plan in order. Somehow.

Yes I'm slipping a bit into panic mode.

Steam seems to be my only option right now, since I don't have a PS4 or an XBONE, and I won't get a switch until I see an exclusive game that catches my interest.
That said, I'm rather inconsistent with my Steam accounts. I've had like 3 in my entire life and I always forget the password for each one of them.

I'm undecided whether or not I'll get it at launch. I rarely get a console at launch, or even the first year.

But if the launch line-up is really as good as the rumors make it out to be, I may get it launch year.

As for how I'll get it, probably just order off Amazon.

Yknow...I was considering getting Yooka-Laylee for the Wii U...

But it seems the decision not to was made for me...

I like how the more time passes the more I regret buying the system despite some of the great games available....its barely over a year since I bought it and its already pretty much dead now with the only worthwhile game left is coming to another console anyway...

It isn't that I blame the system's failure, it just how Nintendo just flat-out gave up on it...

Well, I should be covered with my local Gamestop. The day after the Switch I asked if we could pre-order it and they said theyll call us when its available to pre-order. I was the 5th person to ask for the Switch that day.

..I like the Wii U, I had good time on it and while there wasn't in the end alot of exciting game. The game I had were still pretty fun and in the end, I don't regret buying it.
Tough yeah, Nintendo basically pull off a PSVita on the Wii U. They tried to use gimmick and more power to sell it, but the game weren't really there most of the time, so there wasn't alot of reason to buy it in the end.
Rest in spaghetti Wii U. 'Hope the Switch will do better.

Yesterday I forgot to set up trades, but I was able to get a few things, including Litten and Popplio. Next week I hope to be able to trade again, so its time to go trade scouting.

I'm looking for two things specifically.
  1. 6IV Foreign Ditto (Nature irrelevant)
  2. Jolly Female Slush Rush Sandshrew (IVs are irrelevant. Would like it in a Dive Ball)
I'm also seeking GB caps and PokeRus. If you have these, please tag me. As for the Ditto, please note that I'm pretty poor at the moment in worthy trades. I will accepted hacked 6IV Ditto.

Late replies boys

Is the Shiny odds in SOS chaining 1 in 600 with or without the Charm? Does that mean it's possible to get the odds as down as to 1/300?
At least that explains how "easily" I found a Shiny Oricorio(note: it took enough kills, possibly more, to maximize the Sp.Atk stat in my entire team through Exp.Share)

My entire life as a student
Sometimes I think I wasted my potential if I could do that without giving a ****

Spirit Tracks's soundtrack makes me have a chemistry reaction in my lower body that I cannot fully describe here due to forum rules

>Golisopod used First Impression
"Happy, joy-py, nice to meetcha-py!"

Who uses Oceanic Operetta on a Kommo-o when you can just overkill ot with Moonblast

Now that's an opinion I can agree with
Point being:
>PH has Linebeck
>OoT does not have Linebeck
>In conclusion, OoT sucks and PH is the best Zelda game
The odds for a chain of 1-70 are unknown, but at a chain of 71-255 they are 1 in 1024. This is because the game rolls for 3 more chances of a shiny spawn at these numbers.

Thus it's 4/4096 which translates to 1 in 1024. So around Masuda Method odds without the charm.

Like Masuda, the odds are about the same with the Charm. They become 1 in 683. 1 in 300 would be nice, but 1 in 683 isn't to bad.

Most seem to be doing really well with shinys from SOS so I'd say it's a solid method for hunting.

Happy 10th anniversary to Megaman Star Force!
Star Force was a trilogy set in a distant future of the Battle Network series. Sadly, it never caught on with fans thanks to a set of factors like the seemingly "watered down" gameplay (which I disagree with), Megaman's new design looked silly to some (which is fair enough) and just the fact that it wasn't Battle Network, a series which was already on a steep decline thanks to a certain set of games.

Anyways, Star Force was pretty great for the most part. A solid start, a dwindling middle and an amazing end.

Star Force 3 not only perfected the gameplay, it gave a really good conclusion to an overarching story that had started back in the first game. Not to mention it also fixed a lot of issues people had with Battle Network, such as the characters remaining static through the 6 games.

I hope these games make it on the eShop one day, especially Star Force 3, which I consider not only to be a good Megaman game, but a good game in general.

Without the intention of triggering Incineroar fans, I'm planning on trying out an Evolite Torracat due to its improved Speed. Yes, Incineroar is still more bulkier, but that's not the point. I personally love Torracat's design (and I also like Incineroar, I promise) and I just want to see if this could work in the Battle Tree.

Nyah Dancer Nyah
Torracat@Evolite
Ability: Blaze (Release Intimidate damn it)
EVs: 252 Att/252 Spe/4 HP
Jolly Nature
Flare Blitz/Swords Dance/Leech Life/Crunch

The idea is to set up Swords Dance and sweep late game. Flare Blitz is Torracat's hardest hitting attack, and should always be used over every other Fire-Type attack. Flame Charge is the only option I would suggest but you'd want to go Adamant then and monkey with the EVs for a more defensive setup for additional survivability.

Leech Life is a magnificent boon for Litten's line, as it functions as a powerful physical recovery attack that can heal Torracat's HP while dealing damage. After SD, it will deal more damage, which means it will heal more health.

Crunch is the final attack. This hits Ghosts for super effective damage, and also hits Pokémon who resist Fire, such as Rock and Water. This is an Egg Move you can get by breeding the Litten line with the Growlithe line that has Crunch. You could also run Outrage, but bewear of Fairy-Type Pokémon and other Pokémon who resist it.
