So, when you guys start pokemon games do you start breeding a pokemon from the start and EV train it then continue the game, or do you just catch them and fight with them like normal?
>Both.
>>27437624
I think I only bred a team once. It was when playing Platinum and didn't want to wait for the rest of the my team. I didn't really do IV breeding or EV training at the time so they mostly just had eggmoves, and even then it was mostly TMs.
>>27437624
I just catch whatever for ingame, I don't even pay attention to natures, except when deciding what moves to keep on a mixed attacker. Then I throw my ingame team in a special box in Bank and build a real team in postgame.
Name the special moves for each starter
frenzy plant
hydro cannon
blast burn

We all know /vp/ is full of autism of extreme and unheard of proportions, with waifus, porn and the most extreme autism case, /padg/. Normally this would drive anyone away, but what keeps you coming back to /vp/? What does this board have that you just can't get enough of?
>>27437528
/v/ is full of casuals and I enjoy discussing the series.
Everything you mentioned but the anime
it's probably because i'm autistic.
28 HP
11 attack
15 defense
15 special attack
15 special defense
12 speed
fits pretty well..
>>27437503
It's hard to tell. We can't calculate it's stats if we don't know what IVs it has.
Let's post some fakemon.
>>27437474
I don't normally care but... all three are "just gets bigger".
>>27437579
I've noticed that nearly all fakemon starters fall into that trap. I'm not sure why.
>>27437603
That and people tend to have great starters with poor evos. Perhaps they just make them bigger because they wanna keep the good qualities of that first one.
Reminder that gen 6 irrevocably ruined the series with 3D and megas
Reminder that gen 5 irrevocably ruined the series with moving sprites
Reminder that gen 4 irrevocably ruined the series with 2.5D
Reminder that Yellow irrevocably ruined the series with colored sprites
>supposed to be the creator of all pokemon
>looks like a fucking horse
Really Gamefreak, really?
it looks like a goat
usually assosciated with lambs
lambs are significant symbols in religions
>>27437426
Lambs are significant in Christianity, and maybe to an extend Judaism. Arceus is probably not a reference to the "Lamb of God", Jesus.
>>27437396
Be thankful he's not weak to horse.
>water only has 2 weaknesses
Electric only has 1.
>>27437351
>it's also the most common type
>>27437351
literally one of the best types in game. doesn't even matter if you resist it scaled burn for the win.
Ash will not win the Pokemon League.
no shit
>>27437187
Says who?
>>27437187
He better
There's a lot of early Pokemon designs that only get away with being fucking terrible by virtue of coming out when the fanbase hadn't gone through puberty yet.
What are some if they were revealed tomorrow would be reviled by the majority of the community?

Octillery.
>a fish evolves into an octopus? Hahaha what a faggot. FAKE!
26 replies later
>guys it's real. Remoraid is a gun. Octillery is a cannon. Ignore the animal. It's the concept that evolves.
Which would in turn get a bunch of replies calling that Anon a fag/saying holy shit.
>34 hours remain
I think we will get the explanation on the 3 features teased last month and 4 new pokemon
I think we will finally get evil team news and version exclusives.
I think we'll get some sort of news.
>>27437126
I'm really hoping they'll reveal the new evil team, if not the 5th moves mechanic. Hopefully they arent as retarded as Team Fare was
34 hours left i hope for towns and gyms
>>27437060
New Pokemon and the synchro moves
>>27437060
I'm hoping for a gym leader to disprove at least one set of "leaks." I'd also like a mega to show that they're back, but hopefully not a giant dump of them. I feel like it might end up just being a couple more new Pokémon, though - which I'd still be very happy with, considering their current track record this gen.
>>27437060
More info on the ultimate bracelet moves would be nice. We just had a plethora of new Pokemon revealed to us, so a different change of pace would be nice. Also seeing synchrofags being BTFO sounds very satisfying.
One of THESE threads again. Give a little bit of a description as to why.
>Gen 1
Just like the way it looked when I was younger. It's a big bad jelly fish.
>Gen 2
My Eevee evolved unexpectedly one day in silver run and she's been my favorite Eeveelution since.
>Gen 3
Treecko was by far my favorite starter out of all the generations. Sceptile is still my favorite grass type and the fact that he got a pretty cool looking mega doesn't hurt.
>Gen 4
Land Shark. Loved it since it was a Gible, especially since I didn't know what it was going to evolve into when I got it. Admittedly I like Garchomps sprite far more then what it's doing in 3D. Kinda just standing there
>Gen 5
Cool sword blade dude. Gen 5 was probably the weakest for me.
>Gen 6
Noivern is probably my most favorite design for a Pokemon. It's perfect and I am trying to get his shiny version right now
>>27436992

Yes

It's not the best.
