How does one become a competitive player of Pokemons?
Lurk on Smogon RMT and read the analyses, watch some high ELO battles on Showdown! and form a team (either from what you think is right or copy someone else's)
You'll get it wrong a lot but ask questions, talk to people, observe, watch some Pokétubers (I suggest PokeaimMD) and you'll be on your way. Just stay away from stuff like Pokémon Online and Verlisify.

First decide Smogon (unofficial format but permits 6v6 Singles) or VGC (official format but is Doubles with 6 team 4 into battle).
Discuss what sort of Pokemon you'd like to have in real life, share trainer cards and talk about the fun comfy stuff you'd do in a domestic life with pokemon.
OP here, this is my IRL team. Full of smiley soft friends

No!

Go way, Hanna.
Why are ice type trainers the best trainers?
>>32342662
Because they're really cool.

Except they're not?
Imagine if Gamefreak released a poll to give 12 pokemon Mimic in a year long event.
What pokemon would you vote for, and what move would you give it?

Dear Luchashittenfags
Stop (you) fishing please. It gets annoying and you're starting to become even more cancerous than actual Owlfags. There are some people who would just like to like their starter in peace, and yet, we are grouped in with these ridiculous Owlfuckers.
If you're going to make a starter thread, just say "(x starter) thread". Don't say "X STARTER THREAD AND ALL OTHER STARTERS ARE SHIT X STARTER MASTER RACE." This goes for Owlfags too. I don't care if you got hexts.
All of the alola starters got fucked over with their stats to make ash-greninja look good. Stop arguing and start acting like adults.

Dear Owlfags,
You are not welcome here. Throughout leak season, you have shit on everyone who was not on your team. You ridiculed Littenbros and Poppliofans. Time and time again you have made half-assed and untrue claims about Decidueye becoming the next Greninja. You kept coming up with asinine theories such as Kukui catching Litten in the anime. Even after you were BTFO, you didn't stop. You kept going and going, shitting on us Incinerbros. Well no longer. We are mortal enemies now. I will make it my obligation to ruin the your experience on this board by doing whatever it takes until all of you finally leave. That is all!
i hope one day we get mods and they ban every single person who makes and participates in these threads

What to do?
Go back to your containment thread.Also why does the seal's squeal feel so arousing
>>32342342
Hope that, for the love of god, they don't continue this "ship".
Cringe?
We have only have so much semi-aquatic animals to use as water starters. What do you think of these suggestions?
True seal (Not sea lions), Lungfish, Platypus, Hippopotamus, Swan, Basilisk lizard, Yapok, Beaver, Duck, Polar Bear, Water buffalo, Water deer, Marine iguana, Anaconda, Sea krait and Newt/Salamander
Make your own water starter with these choices.
>>32342237
>Platypus
>Water deer
>Anaconda
I'm in favor of these. (all BST 530 assumed)
Platypus:
Ends up as a Water/Poison tanky big bruiser since the closest thing to an offensive mon with that typing is Qwilfish, and the typing is because the platypus is one of the few mammals to produce venom.
HP 97
Atk 82
Def 87
SpA 119
SpD 59
Spe 86
Water deer:
Ends up as Water/Normal with a similar build and Jump Kick coverage as Sawsbuck has.
HP 74
Atk 108
Def 81
SpA 75
SpD 81
Spe 111
Anaconda:
Ends up as a Water/Ghost shadow predator in the same design theory as Decidueye, maybe with a vaguely skeletal body. Pulls an Incineroar but with HP instead of Speed, where the prevos are pure Water and fleshy but the HP drops significantly when it evolves into the final Ghost form.
HP 30
Atk 130
Def 75
SpA 100
SpD 75
Spe 120
They each get their own custom move based on the secondary typing and custom HA since that seems to be the trend.
>>32342237
My best guess for the next Water starter is a small hippo since we haven't had one for three generations now. But it doesn't matter, because Greninja will always be the best Water starter anyways.
A Water Deer should be our first Water starter that would start as a dual type. Water/Normal for STAB Hyper Fang and Strong Jaw as a HA. Introduce a Water biting move too. I'll call it "Saliva Fang".
I find his continuous whining about hackers annoying, what says vp?
>>32342161
Annoying scrub
>>32342161
I don't watch xher vídeos.
his content is annoying, his voice is not so good and he is a very rude person. topping: his opinion is terrible
Does anyone have a screenshot of the female swimmer who says that she lost her bathing suit in LG/FR (on Three Island)?
I would really appreciate it as an artist friend said he'd draw fanart of it if I could find it. Thanks.
>>32342125
You better post that fanart here when it's done
>>32342193
Also, just in case, this is what she says if you re-battle her.
>>32342193
I second this.
Is Blastoise the most "good but not great" pokemon?
Only a true blastoise fan would think so, so yes.
Awesome design. Shame it got shit end of the stick with Mega.
I still use it anyway cause it's one of my favotites.
>>32342097
That would be Meganium.
ITT: Make mud sport and water sport useful in doubles and singles
WaterSport has Primordial Sea effect (no fire)
MudSport has similar effect for electric.
>>32342050
mud sport nullifies electric terrain now
and for water sport... i cant think of anything thematic for it.
>>32342050
Mudsport kinda like mudslap, except instead of lowering accuracy it mainly nullifies static and any moves that would incude paralysis.
Watersport maybe does the same?
