Unexpected bros thread.
There have been threads dedicated to mons that have been favourites or bros. But I want to dedicate this one to those mons that took us by suprise and ended up being the star of the team.
Back when ORAS was a few weeks from release I decided to do a Wonder Trade run of X. And one of the mons was Furfrou. I didn't expect much of it. But goddamn this thing takes hits amd gives no shits. Almost every gym battle it ended up being the deciding factor in my victories. It hits decently hard too for ingame purposes. I startes loving it after that run. Such a reliable mon.
What about you anons? Ever had a mon suprising you with how useful it was?
I ended up using Trash Cloak Wormadam in my very first Nuzlocke in X. Expected it to be exactly what the cloak implies, but it became my team's star defensive player. I don't have it anymore, but I love it to this day.
>use this in an X hardmode hack because i think it's cute but never used one
>it's fast
>sleep powder never missed
>quiver dance while the enemy is asleep
I swept through a lot of fights this way
Better than it had any right to be

>people here complains about Game Freak making yet another remake in DP
>but /vp/ forgot that during the 3DS and Wii U era TLoZ had 5 games, 3 of them being remakes, 1 of them being a "sequel" to A Link to the Past that had the same areas in the same location, and only 1 was a whole new game without reusing maps or locations

That would be pic related. Dusk Lycanroc AKA the next Ash-Greninja AKA the next shillmon AKA the king of OU
Did anyone here actually do the Manaphy mission in Ranger and then sent it to DP?
>>33265270
Just inject lol
Did but then i released it because it was weak as fuck
I didn't own the first Ranger game but I did it in Shadow of Almia.
I still have the egg on my Platinum file. A bit of a let down that you can't transfer eggs onward.
>duh don't get your hopes up xD
you know after that interview i ended up hating on Masuda's way of thinking even more.
Jesus Christ get the head out of your asses, stop acting like a small indie dev that's "just trying to do our best with what we have lol" you're the owners of one of the biggest videogame franchises (or just franchises in general) ever what's this modesty all about.
They should go out and say "Yeah you know what, now that we're out of the small crappy handhelds we're gonna make the Switch our bitch and make the most huge and awesome pokemon game ever made"... and of course it's never going to live up to the hype but as long as you have that mindset it's still going to be 10 times better than your usual "thanks for beta testing for the first two games"
But of course this is just a 30yo virgin manchild's opinion...
>multi-billion dollar company
>one of the largest franchises in the world, period
>the games are objectively lower quality than they can be purely out of inadequacy and laziness
They need to double the amount of workers the have, get new producers, and actually listen to feedback from fans. That's literally all it takes. And no, they shouldn't care about hiring more workers than they already have, they have less than 120 right now, and even if they had 500, they could afford doubling it. Pokémon might be one of the top media franchise in the WORLD. They can afford a little bit of expenditure to ensure the games are more playable...
Laziness x Knowing whatever you make will be sold = Profit
>>33265237
They've become defeatist. Just think about the OR/AS interview where they said they didn't include Battle Frontier because kids would be more focused on phone games. Just substitute BF for any good content and you've got their mindset. Instead of saying "let's make a game so good that people will put down their phones for it," they go for the bare minimum.
Well? I've been playing for years, and I'm flat out sick of random crits and PAR/SLP/FRZ/Confusion/Attract bullshit. I'm just fucking sick of the RNG. I want to play, but I have awful luck. Then you get trash talked by people that forget all the luck that was on their side.
I'm just sick of it. Trash community. Trash gameplay. Trash everything. So why do I keep coming back? Why do I play this garbage when everyone else I know IRL moved on? What is it about Pokemon that keeps you coming back even though its complete fucking bullshit?
my first stab at it would be the sheer rush you get from a string of correct predictions and the win you get from a team you put a lot of time into
but does that really counterbalance the rage-inducing RNG? When your opponent lands 4 Focus Blasts in a Row but you miss a Hydro Pump?
>>33264852
I usually have a double team mon in Nuzlockes.
I haven't played showdown in awhile because of this
Pokemon will be big in esports
>190 mph
How do you explain this,Richard?
>>33264765
It can fly at 190 mph?
I don't know who this faggot is, but it's no good to use him to dismiss things in the pokedex because you don't like them.
>>33264765
As long as it can resist the G force and pull itself out of a dive to avoid the ground, I don't see a problem with that speed.
>>33264765
Honestly this is one of the more mundane entries.
