Only thing I didn't like so far were the options for starter Pokemon and having to sit through Pokestar Studios. Male protag's hairdo is kinda dumb too but I'll forgive that since it doesn't affect gameplay.
What's gonna happen in the game that makes me do a 180?
>>33226094
is this a koichi reference
>>33226100
If you want it to be.
>>33226094
It's the best game in my opinion. Enjoy it!

z-moves were a mistake

Might there be some kind of fanfic or series on this? Please tell me there is. Not even joking. I'm genuinely interested.
If only he knew

What the hell happened.
>>33226062
I remember I came here around that time

Summerfriends graduated and became regular users.
>Game Freak purposefully makes games that take place in regions not based on Japan worse
Then why was ORAS the worst game in the past 10 years?

>>33225968
Tyranitar is good in Sandstorm, prove me wrong
>>33225968
Weather makes some mons pretty fucking good though.
>>33225968
M-Swampert is tearing up OU. Excadrill is pretty good too.
And in RU/NU/PU, Aurorus + A-Sandslash is quickly becoming the equivalent of Baton Pass teams. There's no dedicated counter to them. Two fucking Ice types.
Remember when people assumed Mega Swampert's existence would suddenly make rain a common play style but didn't happen until this gen? What exactly happened here?

Pelliper works way better than Politoed as a Swampert partner

Hi, we're the most mediocre Pokémon games.
Those are the decent remakes of the ACTUAL most mediocre Pokemon games
Being the first remakes, it was genuinely unexpected at the time.
It also introduced a good number of quality of life features (most of which haven't returned, kek).
And not to mention the advantage of having Gen 1's Kanto design, making it distinctly a different play than Gen 3's Hoenn. We haven't really had an open region like Kanto since Sinnoh, and FRLG play a lot faster than DPP.
>>33225799
>fixes everything wrong with Kanto
>literally no flaws save for maybe the trade sidequest (which was still extra content)
HGSS can go fuck itself, FRLG are the best remakes in the series
why they stopped using the female companion as a deuteragonist?
dawn was fine
>>33225797
They only use female characters that appear in the story regardless of which gender you pick.
Misty is a Gym Leader.
May is a rival.
Dawn is Rowan's assistant.
Hilda/Rosa only appear in the Battle Subway, Iris is a Gym Leader.
Serena is a rival.
The plot is centered around Lillie.
So, Iris was chosen over Hilda, and Lillie was chosen over Chicken.
>>33225940
That actually explains a lot actually.
Sucks since Hilda was the sexiest of them.
>>33226086
>watching a show about a kids game just for faps
Your life has to be sad anon.
Make it OU
>>33225710
Female Only, Earth Power and Scald.
Let it learn Eruption so it can try to spam Choice Scarf/Specs Eruption
>>33225710
Give it a Mega w/ Drought
I heard about this game recently and started to play. It's actually pretty fun! Does anyone else in /vp/ play Duel?
>>33225651
We used to have an active general thread but it slowly ended up dying, much like the game itself. It hasn't died yet the userbase is declining. Hopefully the new update will fix some things, but it won't fix the power creep.
>>33225816
Damn, I must have missed the train with this game. I must be pretty lucky with my draws too, even ended up getting two Greninja and a Yveltal pretty quickly.
Seems like a lot of the featured battlers have Mew, Zapdos, or Speed Deoxys form though. I'm guessing those are the best figures in the game right now?
>>33225851
>Seems like a lot of the featured battlers have Mew, Zapdos, or Speed Deoxys form though. I'm guessing those are the best figures in the game right now?
Many of the figures on featured battles are meta, yes. And there are only about 12 or so figures in the meta. And most decks revolve around these figures. It's kind of annoying actually, because when you start in the lower leagues there are swathes of figures people play with, but once you get to the higher leagues, all the decks become more similar
>yfw Rock Doggo cucks the actual starters of the gen
>>33225640
one of those on the top aren't like the others
>>33225640
People still hate the genies tho, they're not only copy pasted but also horrible designed.
>he added two Pokemon that aren't even in the game
And funny enough none of them are as lazy as Lycanroc which stole a part from another model and hue shifted Midday's colors.
Post your first ever shiny pokemon that you caught, and a pokemon that could easily OHKO it.

Why is this allowed.

He misclicked and got so mad at himself he turned the whole computer off, maybe even broke it.
>>33225343
>serperior vs aegislash
I don't even wanna know what format it is, because I can tell it was a scrub battle.
The most intense battle I had this week I lost. Every time i'm close to winning my oppenent forfiets.
Alight /vp/, how about we have an honest talk about Totem Pokemon. What do you think about them? Which ones kicked your ass? Which ones were just plain annoying? How would you rank them? How would you improve them?
>>33225326
>implying I remember
Didn't have a problem with any.
As far as I can remember my team eventually consisted of
>Mudbray/Mudsdale
>E-Oricoro/G-Oricoro
>Mareanie/Toxapex
>Morelull/Shiinotic
>A-Vulpix/A-Ninetales
>Passimian
>>33225326
I think they were really cool. The ones that gave me trouble are lurantis and mimikyu. I hope usm has new totems(Pokémon that havent been totems)
