Can someone explain to me how Pokemon fighting is any different than dog fighting? Why do you people pretend to care about them and then treat them like filth? Why?
You literally fight them for glory and money. They go through a lot of pain just so your pathetic asses can be called a champion. And what do you do when you're done with them? You shove them in a fucking ball until you're ready to fight them again. You go into the wild to find innocent Pokemon to knock out so your Pokemon can make gains. This is abuse.
This is modern slavery, ethically speaking.how do you justify this, vp? How do you justify the violent disgusting underbelly of this game?
Read the red/blue manual and listen to the professor. It is _dangerous_ to go into the tall grass, as you will be attacked by wild monsters.
>You fight other people in nonlethal matches to train so you can survive in the wilds.
It evolved from necessity into competition, but it's still good to have protection if you go into the great outdoors, like these kids.
>What's worse, training side-by-side with an animal who is your guardian and friend so you can both fight things off without killing them, or simply slaughtering them all, as humans actually do to threats?
Nature is scary. We fight it, the people in pokemon decided to have it on their side.
It's in Pokemon's DNA to fight. Thats why the only way for most of them to evolve is to fight eachother. It's what their genetics intended.

With Hyper Training, I was at first unimpressed since it would probably be faster to breed than to grind a mon up to level 100, especially one that's just going to be scaled to level 50 anyways.
Then I remembered something.
You're never going to have to breed for Hidden Power ever again.
Sure, this probably won't stop injectors. That's fine. The method used to achieve your end result Pokemon doesn't make you a better or worse battler. But for those who don't mind breeding, this is fantastic news.
It mostly applies to lengendaries anon
>>27394934
That's good as well. Also Baby Pokemon.
>>27394819
I'm just glad I can go through my adventure without getting my autism triggered as much because I know things are fixable later on. Now I just need a nature changer and the ability to get your hidden ability so I can just go around catching shit that seems interesting like a real trainer instead of trying to farm pokemon with the right nature.
This is a Pokemon.
ok
This is also a Pokemon.
This is not a Pokemon.
What strategy or style do you tend to build teams around?
I love having slow bulky offense Pokemon and using conspicuous amounts of speed control to blitz the enemy.
I really like stall
Pp stall.
Bulky bait pokemon with a choice scarf ditto.
4explosions hyper aggressive.
Mainly pp stall.
Rest talking acupressure shuckle gets there.
I also fucking love rock pokemon.
>>27394808
I'm not sure if you're strictly referring to competitive teams, but if we're talking single player teams, I always have Pokemon that can attack at least decently well. They can be defensive or frail, fast or slow, but their Attack and/or Special Attack must be, if not stellar, moderate at minimum. Is this how most/all people go through story mode, or is this more just my taste?
Anyone found any perfect i.v Mon yet?
Hatched this guy a few days ago
>>27394800
Millions of people playing? Yes, I'm sure that someone has a max-CP Pokemon. I'm sure that many people do.

He can you tell if they have good or perfect ivs?
Also, ghosts in general I suppose.

I liked him when I first saw him, used AR to make one with wonder guard back in Pearl to troll my brother. He's kind of hard to use because he's so slow though, and fairy type made him so much harder to use online.
>>27394675
And what build did you use exactly? Currently caught the one in ORAS and honestly, it's hard to take off with at the moment.
Also I might name her Mobius.
>>27394942
Shadow Sneak, Rest, Pursuit, Curse
Full on defensive build. Definitely not what people were suspecting at the time and gimmicky, but fun to play if you could get the rest off after the curse.
I stopped watching after the Johto arc ended (stopped getting the channel). Looking back, the anime was never very good at all.
....that said, holy shit, what happened? X and Y is awesome. How long has it been like this? Should I go back and start from 3rd gen?
No
No
No
>>27394544
Gen 4 & 5 anime was shit. Just enjoy the current anime season.
Going back to watch the hoenn episodes can be fun I guess, but XY is still usually better.
>>27394712
I thought gen 5 was pretty good. Team Rocket became likable.
>Limited switching
Pokemon can only be switched out a certain amount of times during battles. Number may vary between different pokemon.
>Critical hits
Critical hits will happen every X amount of turns. Which ever player chooses their move first on these turns will get the crit.pls let me know how annoying/game-breaking these would be senpai
>>27394476
Synchro forms for all pokemon
>>27394476
top just makes people more conservative and makes things even more predict-necessary
bottom is fucking stupid
>>27394476
Critical chance is lowered to maybe half of what it is now, but choosing a the same move consecutively over an extended amount of time increases the crit chance, capping at double current chance. Once a credit happens, however, chance modifier is reset.
What's the best Pokemon game to emulate on my phone?

I like Celebi's movie and story, that's all.
Nice favorites, just fuck Pelipper.
Who did you use the master ball for VP?
it should only be used when encountering a shiny that could potentially kill itself without you being able to stop it.
Always Mewtwo. It looks like shit on everyone else.
Deoxys was the last one.
