Hi /vp/

I play Pokemon very casually, played every version at least to some degree haven't beaten most of them though because I fall off at some point. Given that I barely know what the fuck I'm doing there were always a bunch of stereotypes about how to win in this game and I was wondering how much most of them actually hold up. Stereotypes like

>get a team that covers all type weaknesses, switch to the type you need and oneshot your opponent
>always attack and don't waste your time doing atk/def/evasiveness/whatever increases and decreases
>don't bother with status changes unless they do damage over time
>just evolve your Pokemon as soon as you can
>daycare center, breeding and whatever are too much of a hassle

and so on and so forth. I'm almost positive that a lot of these don't actually hold up but for someone like me just throwing out effective damage gets you pretty far in this game and makes most non-attacks seem superfluous. Nevermind that every version I just see more and more fancy moves added and never use any of them because it feels redundant.

When do these games usually force you to learn all the ins and outs? Can most version's endgames be beaten with this attitude? Do you need to get into PvP?
What are other casual beliefs that don't actually hold up in your experience?

What dual typing do you think Popplio is going to have, and why is is Water/Fairy?

17 Pokémon as of ORAS we're able to learn Disarming Voice through leveling up. Key phrase in the previous sentence is leveling up. The majority of the pokemon that learn it this, and it's a majority by three pokémon, are either pure Fairy-type or have Fairy as a dual typing.

The seven pokémon who learn it by level up, save for two outliers, are either part Normal or Psychic type. The two outliers are Milotic and Altaria, two semi-overtly feminine pokémon. Milotic must have, in 3rd gen and ORAS, the beauty contest condition completely maxed in order to evolve when traded. Altaria is fluffy and seems to be more feminine than most dragon pokémon that exist.

This brings me to the next part. Most, if not all of the pokémon that learn the move Disarming Voice are either weak looking (Jigglypuff, Audino, Skitty, Espurr) or overtly feminine (Florges, Milotic, Sylveon, Gardevoir)

No Fighting types, even with selective breeding for egg moves, can learn Disarming Voice. Anyone who believes that GF would make Popplio be able to hatch with the move as its only way of obtaining it is stupid. Would GF go out of their way to selectively breed a Popplio so that it would have the move for a gameplay video/trailer/whatever? It would be too many steps for GF to troll people.

As it stands, Entermaid basically confirmed.

Why do we even have Grass starters? Grass focuses on stalling and gets annihilated every time, all the birds and bugs in the early game just fuck your shit.

Fire is direct damage and strong against many early types like bug and grass. Water is a good balance of damage and defense as it doesn't have too many weaknesses. Couldn't Grass have been something reasonable like Electric? Don't tell me Pikachu wasn't fifty times more popular than a nobody like Bulbasaur.

You! You, who haven't touched pokemon since elementary and decided to check in in favour of GO! also you there, who never was a fan of cartoons but came here because GO is kinda cool! You there, who came from the hype!
All of you, who now starting to realize the joy of collecting and battling, and wandering about weather you should give the core games a chance, DON'T START WITH GEN III HOENN
DON'T listen to people telling you how cool secret bases are, or how fun the battle frontier is! Don't listen to people telling you how fun it is to cruise pokemon at 200+%, or tell you about fanmade hacks that enhance the experiance, DON'T listen to talk about superior designs, how gardevoir is the only nonfurry pokewaifu or how blazekin was so cool GF was stuck on fire/fighting for 2 more generations! DON'T mind talks about great music, about wingull>zubat, aragon>rhydon, the joy of manhandling 2 teams at once and still coming on top or any of the other SHIT people tell you to get you play hoenn III before any other game. You will just ruin your pokemon experiance because after playing emerald your expactations would be too high for any of the other games to not dissapoint you. Start with b/w for the DS, from there everything will look great; THATS a good entry to pokemon.
