UPCOMING SHIT:
POKÉMON NO UCHI ATSUMARU? EPISODE 66 (Jan 15th)
SM11 - Satoshi Visits Kaki! (Jan 19th)
>There's no Pokémon School this day, and Satoshi (voiced by Rica Matsumoto) has been training hard at Z-Moves with his homeroom teacher Professor Kukui (voiced by Keiichi Nakagawa) since morning. And then, his classmate Kaki (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa) happens to pass by, riding on his Lizardon. Kaki tells him he's helping out at his family's farm by doing a delivery. Satoshi gets interested in the farm and decides to go visit Kaki. It turns out there are lots of Pokémon there. Just what kind of house is Kaki's home?
SM12 - The Extracurricular Lesson is on Hidoide?! (Jan 26th)
>Everyone in the Rocket Gang have had some leisurely and lazy days. But one day, they receive a call from HQ. HQ wants to know if their activities in the Alola region are going well or not. The Rocket Gang somehow manages to give them a report that smooths things over. However, they realize they can't just continue on like this, and decide to aim for getting a new Pokémon.
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.

Post shittiest anime girl, aptly named "Serena"
Greetings, and welcome to Showderp - the place where an individual titled "champ" battles on the Smogon ladders of Pokémon Showdown!.
Don't get it? Not a problem, just lurk for a bit and you'll be just dandy.

i have posted on r/showderp but nobody replied
i thought those weren't dead hours
Anyone find this design fascinating? Its the first pokemon ever to have 3 STABs and doesn't have to deal with the extra weaknesses of Steel(fuck you Earthquake). I feel they probably wanted Dhelmise to be triple typed but later decided to give it Psuedo STAB instead. Pokes with extra STAB that don't affect their defensive match ups would create room for more interesting designs.
triple typings will be a gen 8 gimmick like dual typed moves
>>31325352
>What is Protean
Yes this is subtle bait. Some of you fuckers still couldn't get it after the Smogon Pebbles thread.
losing it's ability slot for the opportunity to have steel stab isn't really worth it imo.
it would have been better off being water/steel or with access to some grass moves and a different ability.
Does anyone have the "Palkia would like to spacially rend your anus with his Spear Pillar until you understand" image? If not, just post your best Pokémon-related images.

Anyone saved the ''Pokémon End My Existence'' meme?
There's a Charizard outside of my cave, what should I do?
Use ruse rocks

I just recently found my old Blue version, but every pokemon sprite is a black box. I tried replacing the battery, but it still does not save the file and i still have the problem with the sprites. does anyone have a solution to this problem? is m cartridge permafucked?
>>31325114
u let team rocket steal all the pokemon dude.
>>31325114
you're playing the /vp/ version of pokemon blue. all the pokemon were too overdesigned and were replaced by black boxes for simplicity. also, the game does not save because that would make it too easy.
>>31325114
Did you get it from a garage sale?
If so, >>>/x/
If not, blow into it until you pass out and if that doesn't work flush it down the toilet
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/np-sm-uu-beta-good-morning-captain-dragonite-salamence-weavile-banned-post-100.3591786/page-4#post-7181426
>Dragonite's impact on the metagame is unmatched. Its bulk, typing, and incredible ability make it extraordinarily easy to find setup opportunities throughout a game. It becomes impossibly hard to account for defensively due to its versatility: Lum Berry lets it set up more easily on Pokemon like Mega Slowbro and Mew while shrugging off Thundurus's and Klefki's attempts to check it, Supersonic Skystrike lets it plow through bulky Water- and Fairy-types and essentially guarantees a kill every game, and Weakness Policy deters Pokemon like Stone Edge Cobalion and weak Hidden Power Ice users from breaking its Multiscale. It also has all the moves it needs: Extreme Speed, Fire Punch, and Earthquake take out several of its would-be checks such as Weavile, Scizor, and Klefki, while Fly provides an extremely powerful STAB Z-move with excellent coverage as well as a good move for a mono-attacking set. It doesn't even necessarily need to run Dragon Dance, as Choice Band is an excellent set that can break unprepared teams with Outrage and check offensive threats like Zygarde-10% and Mega Sharpedo with ExtremeSpeed. Both in the teambuilder and during the battle, Dragonite is impossible to account for due to its unpredictability and perfect execution of its role.
>Salamence is another Dragon/Flying-type that can easily set up due to its great typing and natural bulk, and proceed to ravage any team with its raw power. Intimidate lets it find more set-up opportunities, while Moxie allows it to sweep more easily. This Pokemon was banned in ORAS UU for similar reasons, but it's only gotten better with the addition of Z moves. Z-Fly lets Salamence break past Pokemon like Sylveon, Primarina, Hippowdon, and Mega Slowbro without relying on an inaccurate Iron Tail or locking into Outrage. From there, Z-Fly pairs perfectly with Moxie, letting Salamence snowball out of control after just one turn of setup and allowing it to use Dragon Claw over Outrage as it accumulates Attack boosts. Though it's easier to revenge kill with priority than Dragonite, Salamence's higher Speed mandates a faster Scarfer such as Terrakion and Keldeo, and completely removes Mega Aerodactyl as a check.
>Weavile's high base Speed coupled with a strong Knock Off and great secondary STAB lets it excel against offensive and balanced teams. Coverage options such as Poison Jab and Low Kick remove many of its checks, such as Azumarill and Cobalion, while STAB Ice Shard makes it a great revenge killer and difficult to check with most faster Pokemon. One of its biggest assets is Pursuit, which lets it remove a huge amount of Pokemon like Latias, Starmie, Alakazam, and Gengar, as well as weakened Tornadus-T, Thundurus-T, and Serperior generally making these Pokemon a huge liability. This, in turn, allows Pokemon such as Keldeo, Breloom, and Cobalion to tear through teams as their counters are either easily trapped or not even used at all. Weavile directly impacts the viability of many Pokemon and effectively removes the counters to some of the best Pokemon in the metagame. In combination with its excellent offensive presence, this makes it this round's third quickban.

oh thank goodness
I cannot imagine UU with those 3, of all Pokemon

Professor Rowan's research deals with the implications of Pokémon evolution, especially in regards to Legendary Pokémon.
The cosmog line is the first legendary line that evolves.
Gen 4 remakes confirmed!
>Deals with Evolution
Mega Evolutions confirmed
Professor Elm's research deals with Breeding.
Manaphy is the first and only legend that can make eggs.
Gen 2 re-remakes confirmed after Gen 4 remakes.

Apologize.

I never thought they were bad ever, I feel bad that everyone else shits on it though.

Without Dex Nav you have no argument
>"GLADION IS 'DUH (((REAL))) RIVAL BROS, HAU'S JUST THE SHITTY FRIEND!"
>you don't battle or even see him nearly enough as my man Hau, and none of his fights ever come close to being as engaging or actually difficult as Hau's, Type:Null/Silvally in particular is a mediocre jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none joke overhyped by marketing who has zero relevance to anything
>underdeveloped character, had potential but of course was wasted because he was an SM character that was not Lillie
Fuck the in-game data, the OST names, the Silvally type-advantage thing, this fucker flopped and you know it. #NotMyRival
Is there anyone that says Hau isn't a rival? You'd have to be braindead and/or autistic to believe that.
>>31324608
Calling Hau a rival is a disservice though, Hau is never antagonistic towards you at all. There is no rivalry. Either Gladion counts or SM has no rival, either one is fine.
>>31325283
>Hau is never antagonistic towards you at all.
neither is May/Brendan. That doesn't make them magically not rivals.
There is no point in capturing any pokemon in any ball that isn't a dusk ball. Looks the absolute best with every mon. Get your bad balls out of here.
Kys if you use a dusk ball on anything but Shiny Hydreigon or maaybe Mimikyu
Edgy choice, OP.
>>31324591
>Dusk Ball Dhelmise
Perfect
>post yfw these games had more islands than Sun and Moonbetter postgame content too
>>31324467
It'd be harder to find a game with less postgame than SM.
Hell, content in general.
