Starting this week, had a pretty comfy thread last time so let's see how it goes.
What did you use and how did you do last time?
What will you use and hope to do this time?
Also ask general advice and share stuff etc.
I didn't participated in the April challenge. However I entered the February one and had a good time. Will enter this one for sure.
In February I got 32W-13L getting around ~660th with a tailwind oriented team. My team was Whimsicott, Braviary, Incineroar, Vanilluxe, Tapu Lele and Gastrodon.
I made a quick team for a local tournament last saturday and I liked it so I will improve it and use it for this challenge. It's a team centered around belly drum Snorlax.
I hope to get at least a 2W/1L ratio this time too.
Still waiting on April stones.

How do we make pokemon more accessible to new players?
>>32587486
Pokémon is one of the most accessible franchises, it sells great.
Not to mention it has like a new half-hour long commercial every week.
>>32587486
EVEN more? What?
>>32587498
Given enough time the target audience will expect steadily easier and easier access to certain features. It's still a work about to do, but the whole bottle caps for IVs thing is a start.
New to the competitive scene, trying to figure out a viable team. If anyone could give me some pointers for my current team, that would be great.

If I haven't played any versions since Ruby/Sapphire would it be better to play the Omega/Alpha remake or Sun/Moon?

Does it have a lot of the older Pokemon besides the alolan forms of Kanto dudes? How long is the story gameplay roughly? And I read a bit about how you can battle online... Do you need to finish the story first to do that and can you battle without using perfect stats Pokemon?
>>32587046
>Do you need to finish the story first to do that
No.
>can you battle without using perfect stats
Yeah, just expect to lose a lot.
Question time!
I want to complete the national dex in fire red. I have the resources to complete it short of 4 pokemon: jirachi, mew, celebi and deoxys.
I plan to use action replay to hack in the event codes so i can get mew and deoxys in emerald, but that still leaves the other two.
Ebay has showed me that you can still find the bonus discs for colosseum to get both jirachi and celebi, but i'm stuck wondering if it's even possible for celebi.
Does anyone know if it's possible to send the japanese celebi to an english gba pokemon game? Furthermore, if not, can you trade between gba games from different regions?
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
>>32587006
I've looked into this before and you cannot send that Celebi to an English cartridge.
>>32587009
shouldn't be too much of a problem. i found a japanese ruby in my state for like 15 bucks. thanks man.
>>32587006

Why is she so amazing?
>>32586888
Finna based.
>>32586888
Because she murdered anyone who thought otherwise
How would you fix them?
They dont need a fix, we need a sequel, now fuck off
Nothing really to fix, they are just boring.
Give us Pokémon Z
Will the Pokemon franchise ever recover from this disaster?
>>32586719
Just wait for the inevitable Gray version :^)
>>32586719
Yeah, BW was a disaster. What i mean is, they were so perfect that every subsequent game would be shit compared to them.

There is nothing wrong with this game

This Pokemon's clairvoyance leaves aural residue around those it views, which was once referred to as "paranoia". However, it has since been revealed that thoughts of being watched are ultimately caused by this Pokemon gazing at you from afar.
I was thinking how the lackluster of the XY games could been better by improving its most lame feature: the characters
First of all I was thinking that the Scientist of team flare been evil characters that dont pursue glory, they could have some machine with them give them an advantage, each one having a different gadget.
Aliana (Orange hair girl) being in charge of the power plant assault could had two drones (charged with the stolen power) orbiting their pokemon, at the start of the turn those two machines could been fired two thunder shock like attacks, electric type and 25 of power each shot (no paralize chance).
Bryony (Green hair) and Celosia (purple hair) being in charge of the pokeball fabric assult, both could have a gadget orbiting you, a green one and a purple one, both based in thechnology found in the factory,
The green could block 3 of your pokeballs (if you have 5 pokemon it only blocks 2, if 4 just blocks 1, if you have 3 or less it doesnt do anything), your team menu will show you glowing in green the pokemon blocked, this effect could affect even your pokemon in the first place of your team, your weakest pokemon will never be affected by this.
And the purple one should make you loss the control of what pokemon you are going to send, sending a random pokemon every time you have to send one, this gadget also make you send first the weakest pokemon in your team, ignoring who is the first in your team.
Mable (blue hair) should have a gadget orbiting her that shot ice beam like attack that frost your pokemon (contrasting that her main pokemon is Houndoom and always start battling with a fire move), this machine only have 3 shots that are shown their countdown on the machine, the machine fires the ice beam every time you send out a pokemon, making the third shot being blockeable by sending out you first pokemon that was already frozen. This affects pokemon that cant be frozen too.
Xerosic, being some shady basement dweller guy, could have a gadget orbiting over your pokemon, this machine could make a gravity like attack that lowers the speed, attack and special attack by one, this attack is made every time you send out a pokemon. Being the main scientist is going to be the hardest to defeat, so the last 2 grunts you defeat before metting him will break the 4 wall (in their own in-character way) warning you about Xerosic recomending you to save your game before battling him.
To long to want to read, but I agree XY characters are lame. I think the Gym Leaders are the one who need more fixing though. Team Flare scientists would have been forgettable no matter what.
Tierno the moves guy, could be an early move tutor, his team could be the same (with a better movepool) and he challenges you more often. Every time you defeat him he offers you in reward to teach any pokemon in your team a list of moves that he offers.
The first time he challenges he only show you 3 moves, and every time you meet him again the list moves that he offers add more moves.
He doesnt charges you nothing to teach moves, and you can teach those move as many times yopu want, but he dissapears every time you enter to a pokemon center, letting only to teach moves to the team you used to defeat him.
Once you beat the league he roams the region being aviable when you want, you contact him via holo caster to give you his location, fighting him is optional now and has a full list of moves to give you.

Make it viable.
No cheesy shit like Prankster + Spore or giving it a huge attack boost and Pure Power.
Hard Mode: No Mega Evolution
Dante Must Die Mode: No changing its typing or making up abilities for it
>>32585821
>ability:douchebag: all attack give a random status effect and lowers targets stats by 4 stages.
>>32585821
Power Gift: An attack that boosts all stats of the target pokemon by 1 stage
Useful in doubles?

What else could they possibly be doing?

They were telling all the genwunners and original trio fans and Misty fanboys you'd never see those two characters ever again
