So /vp/
Multiplayer wise, what's the most humiliating defeat you've ever been on the receiving end of? Be honest.
>Turn 16
>2 physical attackers are burned
>2 tanks, one dead, the other is badly poisoned
>Only mon is left who isn't dying is Umbreon
>Decide to wish stall like a faggot to piss him off
>mfw he rage quits and I win anyway
>>31735371
Stall is good

when I jumped in on Gen 4 competitive scene after taking a break from Gen 2. That Explosion Gengar tore me a new one
Is there any canon reason given as to why starter pokemon are apparently only given out by regional professors, or are we just supposed to assume they're incredibly rare or native to areas we can't access in the games?
>>31735229
I think only the Sinnoh ones have been confirmed in-game to be super rare by the professor's assistant.
In the games there are no standard starter Pokemon. Any Pokemon could end up being somebody's first Pokemon, and in the case of the protagonists, those were the Pokemon they ended up with.
they all come from Madagascar

thank you for making yet another thread
this was really needed
>>31735199
A thread died for this.
KYS.
Are you fucking kidding me? We go a good amount of time without a gen war/game war thread and you want to start it again. Bet you're the same one the started the Lillie one. Kill your fucking self
Is it just me or are the outstanding majority of Electric and Fire type (starters possible not included) pokemon really shitty?
General shitty stats and poor coverage seems to be the most recurring problem.
>>31735080
There are many of them who specialise in physical attacks, but not many physical Fire and Electric moves. Ones who aren't bipedal like Flareon get screwed out of the elemental punches, the main physical attacks of their respective types.
>>31735131
This. Wild charge is still the physical electric move that's not exclusive to a certain pokemon. It has recoil damage but only 90BP
>Ampharos - shit coverage (Dragon Pulse, Signal Beam), meh supportive movepool, slow and not even that bulky; Mega fixes coverage problem with dual STAB, but it's slow as shit and can't even pull Agility sets off effectively
>Dedenne - shitmon lmao
>Eelektross - shit speed + mixed attacking stats with unimpressive bulk relegates it to being an average pivot and wallbreaker; at least it has very good coverage unlike most other Electric types and great ability
>Electivire - a physical electric type, which is fundamentally shit because Wild Charge is shit, TPunch is weak and all better moves are restricted to singular Pokemon; kinda saved by mixed potential and great coverage
>Electrode - shitmon lmao
>Emolga - shitmon lmao
>Galvantula - decent dual STAB, coverage (Giga Drain), ability (Compound Eyes + Thunder) and support moves (Sticky Web); overall decent mon despite low BST, but frality is still a problem
>Heliolisk - most of the above applies here
>Jolteon - abysmal coverage (Signal Beam) unlike the above and limited support movepool, its only saving grace is its speed
>Lanturn - finally an Electric type with Ice Beam (but only because it's part-Water, lmao GF), but it's a case of lowBST mon that pays for its bulk with bad attack AND speed; only usable as a defensive pivot
>Luxray - a shittier Electivire
>Magnezone - dual STAB walled by other Electrics and no coverage to redeem it; slow as fuck, limited support options, only ever used because Magnet Pull is totally competitive unlike Shadow Tag
>Manectric(-M) - Flamethrower is legit, but doesn't save it from being one of many special Electric types that rely on Hidden Power to threaten any Ground types
>Pachirisu - shitmon lmao
>Plusle/Minun - shitmon lmao
>Raichu - an inferior Heliolisk

Well, I just finished a playthrough of them, and I didn't grow up with Gen IV and I found them pretty cool. I loved Platinum's winter theme and the snow and what not, and the music kicked ass. Fuck off with your unoriginal shitposting.
>>31735093
/thread
It's simply incredible how much Platinum fixed.
Shame we'll never get something like it for Kalos or Alola.
well /vp/?

I ain't clicking that shit
>>31736552
it's actually what you asked for you pussy
>What is this?
Put simply, a simulation of Pro Evolution Soccer being competed between teams which are embodiments of boards of the 4chan imageboard. The players represent facets of each board's culture. And of course, /vp/ has their own team as well.
>Why should I care and why don't you fuck off?
The cup only happens once every 3 or 6 months for like 3 weeks and only on the weekend so we wont interrupt your true /vp/ experience for too long. If you are new, give it a try and you might even enjoy it. If you don't, we are sorry.
>What's the new roster?
The NEW current roster can be found on the wiki under implyingrigged info/wiki//vp/
Right now, /v/ and /p/ are playing
Next we match off against /b/
>>31735024

getting HYPEand anxious as fuck
This is our third match against /b/, tough opponent for sure

15/18 got some good taste op
>>31734994
excellent taste, OP
Do you prefer the Tapus or the Ultra Beasts?
>>31734989
Ultra beasts. They at least have SOME cool looking designs. The tapus all look like shit
>>31734989
Mechanically I prefer the Tapus because I think they add a lot of depth to teambuilding since you have to think about how they synergize with the rest of your team instead of just slapping them in there mindlessly like you can with genies (or Koko, that one's the exception.)
Lorewise I prefer the UBs, and for the most part I also like their designs better. GF did a good job making them look weird and alien.
The Ultra Beasts allow the developers to use really outlandish concepts; by comparison, regular legendaries have to stick to a "theme" or roughly parallel real-world mythology in the real-world region.
Ultra Beasts end up being much more fun. To be honest, they shouldn't have gone as far as using Beast Boost and just given them proper abilities, but whatever, they're stronger this way.
