Let's have some fun and play a childhood imagination game...
You're now a gym leader in a totally new region! You're going to be running your very own gym to take on all kinds of aspiring Pokemon trainers, but first you need to decide on a team!
>Gym type theme
>Five Pokemon, specify which one is your "signature" Pokemon with an asterisk
>Badge name
Some basic rules:
>Pokemon on your team must follow the type theme you chose, and dual-types are allowed so long as one type matches the theme; however, one Pokemon on your team may be allowed to stray from the type theme entirely (ex: one ghost type among a fighting team)
>No legendaries, pseudo-legendaries, ultras, etc; one starter Pokemon may be allowed if you so choose, otherwise your team should consist of common Pokemon
>Assume that there are no mega-evolutions, Alola forms, etc. in this new region
>Assume that you are the final gym leader; you will be using all five of your Pokemon and may choose third-stage evolutions if desired
And remember to have fun!
>>31437424
And here's my selection to use as an example:
>Fire type gym
>Houndoom*, Arcanine, Talonflame, Primeape, Magcargo
>Rage badge
>Poison type gym
>Gym design is an old run down art museum with tons of paint and plants everywhere (Kinda like Team skull mansion)
>Roserade, Dragalge, Arbok, Swalot, Bedrill
>Sludge badge
>>31437424
>Flying type gym
>Gym is actually an open roof extreme sports facility
>Charizard, Hawlucha, Gyrados, Blastoise, Braviary*
>Aviation badge
I'll start
Dark/flying type mothman pokemon

Literally my mom's edgy Rowlet
Another cryptid pokemon, based on the ningen, water/ice type
>best theme
>hardest battle
>cutest looks, inb4 iris pedos
Why is Cynthia such a good champion, bros?
>>31437361
>""""best"""" theme
>difficult in any way
She's not good. You're just shit.
>>31437376
>hardest =/= hard
Cynthia's Garchomp is probably the single toughest NPC pokemon of any game, outside of battle facilities. Please provide an alternative if you disagree instead of shitposting.
>>31437393
Garchomp is not difficult.
A single Ice Beam from my Froslass took it down.
>Slowbro can learn Aerial Ace
what the literal fuck
Short explanation: Aerial Ace's Japanese name is a reference to a sword cutting technique. Presumably Slowbro can learn it because it has claws to cut with.
>>31437350
Whenever something like this happens, it's due to translation issues
It's a stupid Japanese pun because there's a sword technique that has a bird's name in it. The translators just kind of gave up and gave it a random flying-sounding name.
Memes aside, what is the point of this set on showdown's random battle?
le funny joke
WHY DIDN'T THEY BOTHER TO CHANGE ROTOM FAN'S ABILITY REE.
in case you get soak'd and moldbreaker'd
When will people stop sucking these three games' dick?
-badly designed region, mostly a Johto 2.0 but much less organic
-"non linear path" that becomes actually linear with shit like the Psyducks and all the imputs given by NPCs
-Mt. Coronet aka most boring place in the whole saga (move a rock->smash a rock->use repel->repeat) that you have to cross at least 5 times with HM slaves. Hoenn's water routes may habe been boring, but at least it was condensed in one single part of the game, without breaking the gameplay's course.
-slow pacing
-Team Galassia, aka the most incoherent and generic villain team without a clear purpose
-bottom of the barrel graphics, literally Ruby and Sapphire 2.0 (after, at the time, almost 10 years of 3D Pokémon games)
-average soundtrack with a couple of good tunes, but in general using the DS capabilities at its lowest
-the plot is just RSE 2.0, with a climax coming out of nowhere (at least Hoenn had an acceptable build up)
-in Platinum you have the Distortion World, interesting in its own way but as a whole a wasted opportunity for exploring something truly different (nothing to do there except that upside down waterfall and moving a couple of rocks)
-the Underground, aka another wasted opportunity with a map bigger than Sinnoh itself where all you can do is... breaking walls
I'll give Cyrus, in Platinum he becomes truly an awesome character. Apart from that, there's not much to like about the Sinnoh games. They're ok, but nothing worth worshipping.
Is it just that, is it just nostalgia that makes people think DPPt are the pinnacle of the series?
>>31437260
Fuck off, Hoennshitter. Your time has passed, it's the age of the Sinnohbros now.
>>31437275
>a list of objective faults
>calls OP a Hoennshitter
Sinnoh fags are truly the missing link between monkeys and men.

Why is /vp/ always fighting about this gen's starters? They are all beautiful, both design and personality wise. Let's have a peaceful thread about them. My favourite is Primarina, what's yours?
>>31437213
The owl is the only worth a damn. Fuck off trannyfags and barafags, only owlbros have good taste.
>>31437213
Decidueye because I love birds and always loved them since I was a kid. Second is primarina and incineroar in a tie because they're both cool and primarina's hair reminds me of lemurians from golden sun
>>31437232
And the first post is a falseflag designed to incur shitposting about how much people hate the owl.
What a shame.

You have autism.

Not an argument.
The only problem is that you have autism.

Satoshi gets interested in the farm and decides to go visit Kaki.

UPCOMING SHIT:
POKÉMON NO UCHI ATSUMARU? EPISODE 67 (Jan 22nd)
SM12 - The Extracurricular Lesson is on Hidoide?! (Jan 26th)
>The Rocket Gang, who have their sights set on Satoshi's Pikachu, have come to the Alola region on their boss Sakaki's orders, but have just been idling their days away. But then, as if they were expecting Musashi and the others to slack off like this, HQ calls them to check up on their activities there. Musashi and the others succeed in smoothing things over for the moment, and then, in a fit of panic, decide to aim for getting a new Pokémon. They start by heading to the beach, where they encounter Satoshi and his friends in the middle of an extracurricular lesson.
SM13 - The Great Alola Pancake Race! (Feb 2nd)
>Satoshi's classmate Mao tells him that the Pancake Race will soon take place. This is a race where Trainers and Pokémon work together to carry pancakes stacked up on a plate to the goal as fast as they can without the stack collapsing. Satoshi gets really interested and enters the Pancake Race together with Pikachu.
SM14 - The Fruit of Courage: Lilie and Rokon! (Feb 9th)
>The Pokémon egg Satoshi and his friends have all been taking care of together finally hatches, and they're all really excited about it. Lilie has been in charge of the egg, and her emotions towards it hatching are really strong. But she is still unable to touch Pokémon, so she ends up feeling down about the entire thing. And then, after school that day, an ominous shadow has its eyes set on Lilie while she's on her way home.

WTF?
Be honest, have you ever thrown your DS over a fit of rage over pokemon?
I angrily shut it off after losing to Entei and had to start the whole dungeon again in Super Mystery Dungeon. Haven't touched that game since.
>>31436855
I have ptsd from that entire fucking game.
I got sweeped by Battle Tree Walrein hitting every single Sheer Cold he used. I was this close to throwing my DS out the window.
Trying to make this fucker work but I think it's shit
>>31436788
assult vest is the best way to make him work

None. Those are shitty games.
>>31436782
This.
But do a monotype run on Gale
