Been out of competitive play all this generation but a few friends want to pick up and work on some mono teams. I'll be useing electric but there's a no legendarys rule so no Koko or zapdos etc. I'm figureing something along the lines of ARaichu, Electivire, galvantula, W-Rotom, maybe AGolem or Silvally?
Any help would be appreciated
>>33357590
I wouldn't bother with Memory Silvally, it's only good sets are holding damage boosting items.
Galvantula and W-Rotom are definitely good choices. Lanturn is a great Electric-type bulkmon, that's all I can really think of.
>>33357590
>mono electric without koko
don't even bother
>>33357590
Magnezone wouldn't be a bad thing to add on your team, assuming you don't mind hidden power.
>"Master Cyrus- I undestand."
What DID he mean by this?
>>33357577
He meant to say "understand" but misspelled it.
>>33357577
That gen 4 remakes are confirmed
>>33357577
Giratina is now Cyrus's waifu
>>33357553
Vega.
>>33357583
Vega?
ITT: Post bad things.
OP
I think the genies are the most iconic designs to come out of pokemon since gen 3.

I will always love you raticate. I don't care what any of these casuals on /vp/ say about you, you're awesome.
>>33357480
>liking Raticate
>calling others casual
Literally carried my team in my nuzlocke run of crystal. Fucking destroyed Whitney and it destroyed that ghost nigga's gengar.
>>33357497

Someone has never done a nuzlocke run
Holy fuck I'm slow.

So does he transform into a Giratina?
>>33357169
Seems like a coincidence to me tbqh
I would love a new mystery dungeon in HD on switch
>>33357166
Mystery Dungeon, Conquest 2, Shadow Pokemon 3 on Switch.Listed in order of likeliness
Ranger on 3DS could be cool.
Pokemon snap 2, probably never going to happen
Or something like the stadium games
so we can finally have a huge post game with perfect multiplayer and longer animations that would be annoying in the mainline games.
>>33357166
I just want another comfy Pokemon Range Game
Fuck this stupid piece of shit. I can never fucking kill it.
>>33356920
Fucking a Pokemon will not reduce its Health Points, Anon.
why would you want to kill a pokemon
>>33356920
There's this super rare move called thunderbolt
/lit/ anon here. I'm in the process of developing an outline for a Pokémon novel adaptation, tentatively titled "Pocket Monster Trainer," and I'd like to hear your ideas.
A little bit about me.
>Published YA author. I have 4 published soft and hard cover novels available at B&N. I've been writing for over fifteen years.
>Never played Pokémon until very recently. My daughter got me to play Blue Version on her 3DS and I got hooked.
>I don't know much else about the Pokémon world and lore other than what I've played in Blue Version.
Here's a basic pitch for how the novel would be.
>YA novel, 450-550~ page manuscript target.
>Story mostly inspired by the 1st generation story.
This is merely a passion project, and I have no intention of ever trying to publish it. When it's done, I'll host it anonymously. The main reason I'm writing this is for my daughter; she's 14 and loves reading and playing Pokémon.
Now, please throw me any suggestions and ideas you may have that could improve this project. Here are a few things I'd like to get opinions on.
>1st person or 3rd person narrative?
>What Pokémon should be featured?
>Who should I write for the protagonist?
>Is there any other media beyond the Red & Blue Versions that I should research? Is the anime worth researching?
>Should I take any creative liberties to make this Pokémon world feel more unique?
>>33356915
Make it about Parasect.
Here are some more thoughts I had that I'd like answered.
>Do/should animals exist in the Pokémon world? How would I balance that ecosystem?
>Would introducing original cities and locations be alright?
>How should this world operate economically and politically?
>Should there be Pokémon outside of the original 150? I know there are many hundreds more, but since this is based on Red & Blue, should those species be considered undiscovered or possibly never mentioned?
>Should Pokémon say their names or produce natural sounds? I know they say their names in the TV show, but I'm going for a more realistic approach.
>Would introducing completely original characters and/or Pokémon be considered a no-no?
>What backstories would work well for underdeveloped yet important characters like Gym Leaders?
>>33356915
A fresh experience would be ideal, don't reuse old characters because the audience would hold you to even more expectations once recognized, and you'd have more creative control.
>1st person or 3rd person narrative?
I prefer 3rd person narrative so you aren't stuck following the adventurer, and can explain some things better.
>What Pokémon should be featured?
Ideally, you should aim to give a nod to the original 151 Pokemon if you want a sense of wholeness, but most can be very indirect, where the only ones fleshed out as encounters or companions or enemies can be a mix of instantly recognizable Pokemon and Pokemon much less frequently given the spotlight, to appeal to both those at a distance to the franchise and to those well-versed in it. For example, the starters are a must as is Pikachu, but Nidoking, Dewgong, Venomoth, and Poliwrath would make for exotic and diverse choices.
>Who should I write for the protagonist?
Create your own character with a goal, like the person doesn't have to be on a quest to become a Pokemon master, more like out to solve a mystery or take revenge but needs to make a journey to someplace and assemble a team -- it could be very Journey to the West. Considering it's for your daughter, a female role model would be a nice touch.
>Is there any other media beyond the Red & Blue Versions that I should research? Is the anime worth researching?
If you look into the anime, it's strictly for behavior and understanding how certain Pokemon move or interact. Don't take cues like them saying their name for speech -- the game should take precedence over that with its noises for them. Try Bulbapedia, since it's pretty extensive with descriptions of each Pokemon and can cover lore where the game is seeming vague to you.
>Should I take any creative liberties to make this Pokémon world feel more unique?
Have more engrossing motifs, like for example an integration of Pokemon with police, construction, security, etc.

Why is this thing allowed in OU?
>>33356876
because it's ice-type
Don't let anyone know he's busted yet. Let USUM move tutors teach them
>>33356876
>best physical ice stab is a one time use z move
that's why
So anyone know whats going on with this game? sound track seems amazing, sprites look pretty good, art is decent. Is there even a demo?
Is anyone even hyped for this game?
It's going to be better than uranium
hyped
but less since this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2Pww7S2Yj8
kinda lame
The demo will be playable later this year.
>>33356896
That Roserade looks fucking great though.
The other ones are just ok, not something that would kill my hype.
Unexpected bros
Was the only pokemon I had that could learn surf when I got the HM during a White 2 nuzlocke, was surprisingly good throughout the run.
I used this in ORAS recently, since I couldn't get Metal Coat for my Scyther until after the main plot. It was hell catching the right Aron and then breeding them for the right moves + abilities, and the egg hatched after I got my fifth badge.
But he soloed Winona's Altaria and Swellow, despite being 12 levels behind her weakest mon. Then he helped take down Tate and Liza, and most of the E4. And in the post-game, he gets a ton of uses.
Little guy went from backup mon, to one of my star team members. Plus raising him from an egg and watching him grow made me connect with him more.
>>33356984
Aw that's so cute!
Mega Garchomp now has Sand Rush instead of Sand Force
How does this change the meta?
>>33356600
You know how you see Mega Swampert and rain teams running around now? Imagine that except with Mega Garchomp and sand.
>>33356600
give regular chomp sand stream.
give the mega sand rush.
>>33356627
Straight to Ubers
Post Pokemon wearing clothes.
I think this counts
Okay.
So what did you guys think about the solar eclipse?
>>33356358
Good one OP
