General Pokemon Discussion

I would've thought that, too.

Since they were the desert 'mon

[Ravecat]

I kind of feel like battling online again but idk

[GrooveMan.exe]

Inerestingly enough they weren't version exclusive at all back in the day. =/

[Sengir]

I would've expected Plusle/Minun, Volbeat/Illumise, etc. for Hoenn Exclusives

[darky dick]

yes sableye is hg fuck yes now i can finally get one

also not that i was gonna use teddy, but what the hell happend to teddy in gold and phapny is silver this is shit

[JarJar]

I thought they were both stupid and used neither. I can't remember if Sneasel or Misdreavus are version exclusives, though.

Edit: Brawler, you have an Adamant, EV'd Tyrannitar, and you're telling us its Special attack stats?
You do realise pretending to know how the metagame works doesn't make you look cool, right?

look closely, he said its other stats suck ass

that means he put EVs into atk and sp atk and obviously gave it a choice specs on the sp. atk hence the 418
idk thats the only way how i see he did it cuz usually choice shit can raise your stat to near 500

also that tyranitar sounds very lame, it doesnt need both attack and speical attack....give that shit one of them so it can survive..

[GrooveMan.exe]

Yes, but the nature is ADAMANT. Which is +Atk -Sp. Atk. Why the hell would you go special if the potential for Special stat growth is reduced? He might as well use those EVs in making the other stats not suck as hard.

EV bitchfight~

C'mon guys. EV's are for people who suck balls at developing battle strategies, so they pimp out their Pokemon with shit that, despite the popularity, has not been confirmed by GameFreak as far as I know. The only people who have claimed to have proven it have absolutely no irl social skills (Serebii, for instance) and would profit socially from this 'discovery'.

[Vipershark]

C'mon guys. EV's are for people who suck balls (literally)

Agreeing with this.

C'mon guys. EV's are for people who suck balls at developing battle strategies,

Evs actually are a major part of battle strategies

Also, I'm pretty sure not every single game developer ever releases every single game mechanic. So GameFreak gave people two ways to play the game, big deal. I find competitive pokemon fun.

[Ton]

I like EVs for competitive battling...

So, I have a Belly Drum Magmar. What should I teach it?

[Cshad]

You have the Elemental Punches, Mach Punch, and Flare Blitz as well as Focus Punch for some pretty good options. Earthquake is also really good. But you'll want to have Substitute in there to help guarantee your Belly Drum. I'd probably go for Sub/Belly Drum/Filler/Filler or a Belly Drum/Mach Punch/Earthquake/Fire Punch or Thunder Punch (since Moltres would wall the set >: )

on the contrary, its always been in the games

ever since red and blue, and pokemon platinum and hgss makes it obvious about your natures/EVs now, also remember those effort ribbons? guess what they were for?

but yeah, dont bash everyone who uses EVs, some of us actually liek playing competitivley with our pokemon at their max potential

evs are optional, if you just want a regular fight without caring the stats or nature, then thats fine, but TRUTH BE TOLD, that your pokemon will be terribly hindered and will have stats it shouldnt have, BUT IF YOU DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT, THATS OKAY TOO.


some people like playing competitively.

some dont, there. EV training is a bitch and it requires a lot of time wasting but hey thats how the game is, blame gamefreak for making them in the first place.

[Ravecat]

I like EVs for competitive battling.

But I still play through the game with Pokémon I like without even considering natures, EVs, and IVs.
