Hi /vp/,
My son has convinced me to play Pokémon with him. Are there any decent YouTubers with actual informative videos about Pokémon battling and training, attack damage calculations, breeding %'s etc.?
I've seen some silly and even cringy videos like a 'versilfy' channel and wouldn't mind some knowledge on the go-to channels or even communities/websites etc.
I've browsed the business board here a few times as I'm a financial economist, numbers and stats videos would be preferred.
The game is Pokémon Sun and Moon, I played Yellow briefly in university when it was very first released?
Thanks :)
first off if you're new to the game i wouldn't take anyone's advice here because most of them are total shit. that said....
https://www.youtube.com/user/pokeaimMD - this dude for smart battling tactics. teambuilding you have to figure out yourself but you can probably learn calcs from him too. i play on sim so i cant say anything about breeding sources, but its easy to understand with a quick google search
don't trust 4chan for anything

There's an oxymoron

How do we fix Castform?
>>32799063
What if it's form wasn't due to weather but due to whatever the type of the first slot move.
Then weather would just double all it's stats if it's in the appropriate form.
Have fun explaining that concept to kids though.
>>32799063
you can't. it's meant to be a shitty niche pokemon. just accept that, autist.

thank u norman
>>32798968
I love the #132 mug
thank u norman
GUYS HES ACTUALLY FIXED
That's a nice ass
I could get behind this change
This is literally Incineroar on four legs. Great art, mind, but that's literally it. No redesigning otherwise far as I can see.
Still nice to see best/fave mon as a quadruped and know the overall design works just fine like that, though.
What /vp/ have against it? Doesn't it makes Pokémon relationship more alive?
If you like, Do you wanna see it in future games?
>>32798702
It is the greatest feature added to any pokemon game and should be in every future game. Period.
>>32798702
Everyone wants to see this feature return, there's literally no reason it shouldn't come back, it's just that Sun and Moon couldn't handle this with 3D models, however when we get the new switch pokemon game, this will feature shall make a return.
/vp/ as a whole has nothing against it. Just a few loud people who feel the need to make their opinions known because being in such a small minority makes them feel insecure.
Besides that, since it's such a beloved feature, trolls also have many opportunities to bait people by pretending to hate it.
Seriously though, ur boi is trying to make a good gardevoir
Nah adamant all the way opponents never see it coming
Sassy

>He thinks that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will be good
>He thinks they'll improve upon anything that SM did
How can one be this retarded? It legitimately baffles me seeing all these people saying that they'll be good.
>>32798321
because all of the previous third versions improved upon the originals, you fucking retard
>>32798321
Is Susieposting the new FrancinepostingDon't ruin Susie, at least Francine was trash.
>>32798321
Smells like newfag
What is your reaction when you see this?
Are they really that bad?
Grass isn't really shit except for some combinations.
Ice is only shit defensively.
Rock is just fucking retarded.
Is rock no longer one of the best offensive types?
>tfw these are all some of my least favorite types
So I played PMD Blue Rescue Team and Explorers of Sky recently to be able to compare the two.
Blue Rescue Team was so much better.
Explorer of Sky's characters are just written so. . . Incompetently. . .
Explorers of Sky characters:
Bidoof is painfully Western
Sunflora is that one annoying teen girl
Corphish has fucking turrets.
Blue Rescue Team characters:
Alakazam and his crew are wise but don't show it off.
Gengar is a sneaky little shit who tells lies
Wiscash just sits at his pond telling stories for fun
Lombre is the village coward, but you don't see too much of it.
Let's compare the two games' partners. . .
Explorers of Sky:
Pussy ass nigga who can't be talked to slightly above inside voice or he'll piss all over himself.
Blue Rescue Team:
What? Your kid's in a dangerous dungeon? We'll go get him out!
Also the stories. . .
Explorers of Sky:
OH BOY THE TIME ALL OVER DUH PLACE IS STAHPING AND IT'S ALL EPIC AND SHIT AND HOW BOUT YOU CLIMB THIS CRUMBLING TOWER FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT AND BACK TO THE FUTURE TIME PARADOX BULLSHIT.
Blue Rescue Team:
The earth is being thrown out of wack cause this huge ass space rock is coming. Let's do what we do best, and help the world. We'll go have one of the legendaries try and stop it.
How about the aftergame?
Explorers of Sky:
OH BOY MORE "TEAR WRENCHING" STORY! MORE STORY YOU GOTTA SIT YOUR ASS THROUGH AND GET DONE BEFORE EVEN HOPING TO EVOLVE AND GET MORE SHIT DONE FOR YOUR TEAM.
Blue Rescue Team:
Good on us, we saved the world. Now let's continue helping people, recruiting new friends, and increasing our rank. There's also some new dungeons we can explore, and some optional story to trigger, which usually leads to more progression on our rank, and gets us more recruits.
I can't remember the last time I played Rescue Team. All I can remember about it was getting chestnuts for the Mankey to have them build my team base. I replayed EOS to get hyped for SMD and it was fun but overrated. The special episodes are probably the most overrated part of any MD game
>>32798246
Explorers of Sky is overrated in general.
counterpoint: every PMD is horribly overrated, especially in the story department
Rescue Team characters are non-existent and require drastic leaps of headcanon to take anything from them, Explorers characters are walking catchphrases at best, Gates characters try to be something but are pretty much all sob stories, Super characters almost get somewhere but the generally abyssmal pacing and focus squanders it all with all the characters who get enough time to be likable becoming completely worthless and forgotten with the remainder either being unintentionally unlikable sacks of shit or just shoved in your face too quickly to give a fuck
BTFO thread?
Has anybody who runs an archive ever manipulated posts for the hell of it?

Good meme
What expression is this face trying to convey?
>>32797899
A hideous mess of Joy, Horror, Despair, Anger, Sorrow, Curiosity and Disgust.
The shitty meme you keep trying to push.
Blank stare whilst trying to figure out why jet fuel can't melt steel beams
Now that the dust has settled can we all agree these were a terrible idea?
>only gen 1 pokemon
>MORE genwunner pandering
>incomplete lines make no sense (Alolan Raichu but no Alolan Pikachu)
>absolutely lazy and hideous designs
>recolors
>Diglett with hair
>Garfield the pokemon
>adds nothing to the game
>waste of cartridge memory
>instead we could have gotten new original pokemon
And I know what you are going to say:
>but we already have 800+ pokemon
So? If the problem of having many pokemon is cartridge memory Alolan forms certainly don't fix that because every alolan variant takes up the same space as a regular pokemon.
>but old pokemon are underused and forgotten
I don't think anyone is going to start using Diglett again just because there is a new Diglett with hair that doesn't even evolve from the old version.
>instead we could have gotten new original pokemon
We did though. Alolan forms are, for all intents and purposes, new pokemon.

What a way to express your shit taste
