So Mario Kart 8 is awesome. Just sayin'...

 

[Captain Zack]

Yo guys, I'm trying to get my Zelda buddy, Ed to make it down for Golden Chariot. We might be able to do a Zelda crew battle. ;u;

 

[Sudai]

Caw Zelda crew vs Fox crew? lolol

So Mario Kart 8 is awesome. Just sayin'...

Vaughn, how busy are you lately? I kinda wanna learn how to play Mario Kart and we can get some smash practice/just hangin out or w/e at the same time.

 

[ChKn]

I wonder if Nintendo will have a Wii U bundle with the GC adapter.

I'm pretty much free for most of the Summer. I'm going to A-Kon next weekend and I may possibly be going to CEO, but that's about it until next semester. I would love to get some hangout time in with some Mario Kart and Smash. Just gimme a ring when you wanna do that.

And Zelda vs. Fox crews??? Holy crap... Which side would I be on..?

 

[-Se7en-]

It's 2:09 AM currently, and I can finally open the door to Smash I was trying to open earlier.

For one, Ramsaur's coming over later so I can play somebody in our state with tournament experience.

Second off, soon enough I may be able to attend my first tourney.

Third off, I'm the new Snake/Falcon of LA.

*I play competitive Pokemon now too, so yeah. Buying a 2DS soon with X.*

If you ever need 4IV Fletchings/Magikarps or any Hidden ability Pokemon, be sure to send me a message. I'd be glad to just exchange FC's with you after you get X.

 

[Turazrok]

Nah son you wanna win you gotta run landorus-t pokegen or busssssstttttttt

 

[RuslinJimmies]

My **** is so hard after that E3 trailer.

At your age that's like the fourth time that's happened right?

Too broke. Can't afford Mario kart til after summercon.

Also play pokemon online to test teams instead of spending a day breeding and training.

Pokegennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[RuslinJimmies]

I have legit phiones I breed and scrubs will trade anything for one lol

 

[Turazrok]

I mean hey man Manaphy is good maybe they got confused?

I swear idk how that **** is still in OU

Our zelda crew

 

[Captain Zack]

I stopped playing Pokemon competitively because I only played UU, then they moved Chansey to OU so I quit. Even though I'll pop into random tourneys and rek with Lvl 1 Aron.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

If you or someone you know knows how to clone, I would literally trade you every hidden ability Pokemon I have (probably over 100 by now) for a Manaphy clone and totally serious. >.> He's so hard to come by, I'd gladly accept a clone.

 

[RuslinJimmies]

I can procure you a manaphy but gonna take like a week Cus I'm busy. Also uu chansey was too noob friendly imo.
And without rain to support it, I honestly don't think manaphy is bad at all.
Manaphy meet my Registeel. He's gonna paralyze you. Honchkrow is gonna brave bird you after Registeel seismic tosses you. Honchkrow is plus 1 attack with the ever threatening life orb sucker punch. Thanks for the free setup manaphy

 

[Turazrok]

I mean any good player would swap manaphy when that came out :/ If I swapped Landorus-T both of those couldn't do ****.

Also a meta thing what OU teams are running Honchkrow/Registeel?

 

[Samsora]

I want a Manaphy T_T

 

[-Se7en-]

My team at the moment (Smogon).
1)Togekiss
2)Goodra
3)Gengar
4)Rotom - W
5)Landorus - T
6)Mega Houndoom

I had Thunderus before, but I started playing Landorus users, and I like him. Mega Houndoom isn't common either so I want to make him work.

I'm choosing Squirtle from Sycamore

 

[RuslinJimmies]

I was discussing UU. I hardly ou because there's little team variety. Uu manaphy had a nice niche. Honchkrow is the most underrated uu poke ever. Nothing besides the Bisharp line (one more I can't think of) resists it's STABs. Sucker punch to scare stuff. Heat wave Cus mega aggron and brave bird that other ****. I think roost over superpower just because I like it. However the bird has a few common uu things stopping it. Fake out life orb mienshao and ice shard Weavile hurt it

Really? And that's fine about needing a week, thanks so much! I'm not really into competitive battles but I like collecting Pokemon, I have access to all 700+ that have been legit released so far, with the sole exception of Manaphy. It's been killing me, lol. Even though I don't consider clones to be hacks, I haven't even been able to find clones. Phiones are easy to get though.

So what hidden abilities would you like the most? I have so many I've stopped counting so just let me know what you're interested in and I'll breed it for you if I've got it. Immunity Gligars, Gale Wing Fletchlings, Drought Vulpix, Swift Swim Poliwags, Anticipation Eevees, etc

 

[Robert Lee]

Are the people going to the tournament friendly?

 

[Turazrok]

No man. My first tournament I wanted to play friendlies and Taylor and Kyle sat down and 4 stocked me with bowser and Roy. Douches, the lot of them. To this day Taylor demands my lunch money lest he bring Roy out again.

 

[Robert Lee]

So the people in the tournament are mean and arrogant?

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Are the people going to the tournament friendly?

Sudai is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. He loves welcoming new people into the scene. You'll see when you see him.

Edit: Turazrok was just being funny, Taylor and Kyle are great people too.

 

[Robert Lee]

Okay. That's cool.

 

[Robert Lee]

I wasn't sure if I want to go to the tournament if the people over there are mean and rude, but after seeing what you said, I might consider going to the tournament.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

You should definitely go. Tournaments are fun events and you get to meet a lot of great people. Tha Shrimp series in particular is one of the best for that.

Also, in the future if you want to say something right after you already posted, just use the "edit" link in your post. Double posting is technically against the rules, even though we're lax about that here you shouldn't do it in other threads.

 

[Robert Lee]

Double posting? Oh, not sure what you're talking about but okay. What's the Shrimp series?

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Double posting is posting twice in a row, back to back. Like when you posted "Okay, that's cool" and then posted the rest right after that. You can edit the post where you said "Okay, that's cool" and then type what you said in the second post beneath it (or copy/paste if you already said it).

Tha Shrimp series is a series of tournaments that TaylorHJ hosts. They're usually at his house, but this one is at a venue (term for a business or building that agrees to host the event) instead.

 

[Robert Lee]

Okay. I was wondering why there's a venue fee?

 

[Turazrok]

So the place has an incentive to let you use it.

 

[Robert Lee]

Oh, okay. So what exactly do you win if you win the tournament?

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

The venue fee is a fee set by the business/building that agreed to host the event, since they have to give you space to play in their property. There's not always a venue fee for tournaments hosted at venues, so it just depends on whether they want to charge us or not.

Edit: ninja'd by Turaz

If you win, and you're in the top 3 or 4, you'll get a percentage of the entry fee in cash. If you place lower than that, you get nothing.

 

[Robert Lee]

Okay, cool. I notice some people mention bring setups, but what exactly do people mean by that?
