Started playing Black tonight, child abuse in my pokemon, I was impressed. Hopefully it means the plot'll be decent and a bit more heavy. Hate not being able to read Japanese, though lukcily two of my mates playing through it speak it so they fill me in on all the important stuff and help with nicknames etc :)

Also GameFreak are god tier trolls with anti-piracy.

Blaziken swicthes in on something it can take, they switch out while he swords dances, protect next turn as they attack, now you've got a +2 attack +2 speed blaziken that outspeeds a postive nature, max EV, choice scarf base 105.

Hydration Vaporeon seems to be getting a lot of hype. Also, I look forward to using Shanderaa with Shadow Tag. At least until Smogon throws it into Uber

So basically, the pokemon metagame as we know it has crashed. ;____;.

Ninetales w/ Drought just screams Aero lead.

Also Issy, she's overrated, get it right.

What kind of ability name is guts?
Speaking of Guts, did anybody else notice that while Vaporeon was graced with the amazing Hydration, Flareon once again got the short end of the stick and was given Guts. I swear Game Freak have purposely made Flareon the joke of the family, all it wanted was a good stat distribution and a workable move-pool. It got neither.

I find it to be better then overconfidence tbh.

I think it it's worse then Flareon.

Torkoal essentially has no ability, because White Smoke is useless as well.

I'm not so sure MrEh. Sure Torkoal's ability's aren't impressive in the slightest, but with Shell Armor you will at the very least be content with the knowledge that it won't get hit with a lucky critical hit (even though you won't ever know if Shell Armor is actually working or not...). Flareon on the other hand has no use for Guts, or Flash Fire for that matter. It is too slow to put the ability to use, and even if it was fast enough, it just doesn't have the moves to work with.

I like Guts on Flareon. Baton Pass to him. :)

I played a Pikachu this weekend. He was recovering with Skull Bash, and I just calmly and slowly walked away. And then I reverse uptilted him.

Everyone there was like "Daaaaaang!"

Oh ****... Zigsta be stylin'. Good **** man.

Why would you WANT to baton pass to Flareon when there are XXX candidates who do a better job then him in the same freaking tier xD.

Bowser is so fun! Until you play high-tiers, lol. But he is seriously fun. Where do you think he belongs on the tier list?

WTF!!!!!!!

Also @ Gadiel, I think middle of low tier.
Yeah, I ment Pichu.
Typed in a hurry. Whatever, they're both yellow rats. The only thing I can keep them from each other is reminding that Pichu is the small one that damages itself in Melee and PIkachus the other one. *Hasn't done anything with Pokemon since a while after Diamand/Pearl came out*

Shell Armor is fairly moot when Torkoal dies in one hit from special attacks regardless of crits, especially if he took SR damage. Torkoal usually doesn't care about random crits from the things he walls, since those random crits aren't enough to break him anyway. (Like hits from Scizor, Weavile, etc)

It's not completely useless, but like White Smoke, it's usefulness is so low that it's like Torkoal doesn't have an ability at all. Seriously, Ninetails got Drought. Torkoal got Shell Armor. :(

So stupid. Don't they get that these leaks only further increase hype for B/W?

That's Nintendo for ya. Not as bad as Square Enix though. Website I used to staff for back in the day got one of those notices too. Good times. The owner of the site was furious.
