Who's your favorite rival character? Whose team was the best? What makes a good rival team? Favorite little gimmicks? Improvements that should've been made to characters and teams? How do you think Hau and the unchosen protag will shape up? If you had to make yourself a personal rival character(s), what would their team(s) be?
>>26773297
Johto and Unova did it the best.
Rival-wise, Silver had a nice characterization and a good arc in which he became a nice person. So did Hugh, Cheren, N and Bianca. All of them acheived thier goals, or realised that they werent really as invested in thier goals as they thought.
Companion-wise, Ethan/Lyra were cute, and helpful. They didnt make you battle them even though battling wasnt thier interest (Like XY did repeatedly) and they werent getting constantly BTFO by thier family like Dawn/Lucas.
barry had a good team, but was annoying. Also, his idol rejected him, he never got good enough to face his Dad in the frontier and never became worthy to step inside the Fight Area cafe to hang with gym leaders. Why do people like him lol
Gary was fine, but overrated. And he's a friend like most other rivals.
ORAS rival shipping seemed excessive compared to HGSS. A small thing with Lyra's grandparents saying you look cute together or something. That's fine. Not..whatever ORAS did. Wally is great.
FUCK KALOS

>Gary a friend.
Into the trash your opinion goes.
>>26773378
what was he then?
What kind of bug do you think will be the new "butterfree" this gen?
>>26773122
whatever grubbin becomes
>>26773122
Completely useless dex-filler? Normally I'd say Grubbin, but Bug/Electric (which is likely what it will become) is pretty good compared to the god awful combination of Bug/Flying. They'd have to really fuck up pretty hard to make it as bad as Butterfree.
>>26773202
What makes you think we'll get another Thunderbug? Does its dex say something about electricity?
Okay /vp/, let's settle for debate. Solgaleo's HP?

Solgaleo thread by the way.
Are we just going to ignore the fact that we have a DITTO BEANBAG IN OUR FUCKING ROOM?
>>26773014
Holy shit a common pokemon in most pokemon games has a beanbag
Would be cool if we got home customization again.
>>26773022
Fuck off you cocksucking piece of shit if you aren't excited about that ditto beanbag you aren't a real pokemon fan
I want that ditto beanbag OP
Did anyone else here play pokemon as a kid to cope with loneliness ?
>>26773010
No. We're all chads here you nerd faggot.
>>26773010
That's why I play now
>>26773010
That's sad
>>26773055
You're sad
With Stardew Valley breaking the HM mold, people are sort of buzzing about someone doing the same for pokemon, so it's not the same game again and again.
What do you guys think? What could be done better?
I would amp up the difficulty, turning the elite into an Elite 10, make becoming a champion really difficult. I'd also include a decent plot.
Call it Mutant Hunters. All the monsters you catch are actually mutated animals, and that's why the general public of the game world sees no problem with battling them, cause they are freakshows.
The Team Rocket organization is basically PETA, and they don't hypocritically use pokemon to fight you. They have guns and when you encounter them, they are trying to kill your pokemon because they think fighting is torture. Hell, even make it so you could join them.
What do y'all think?
>>26773003
that is the stupidiest idea i have ever heard
The difference between Stardew Valley and your idea is that Stardew Valley is a good game that people actually enjoy
>>26773003
>what is yokai watch
>what is spectrobes
>what is dragon quest monsters
>what is monster rancher
>what is digimon
They've tried and failed, OP. Pokemon is the best the monster collecting game is going to get. Get used to it.
Being forced to use these horrible trainer models in pokemon go feels like rape to me. I have the same feeling as when I was molested whenever I see this monstrosity... absolutely disgusting. It's weird but I'm not even joking.
>>26772961
>when I was molested
Story?

This crap is going to bomb so hard.

Give Sabeleye a mega that'll make it uber.
Same Mega rn, but take some of it's defenses and put it in its attack and speed, and give it
Wonder Guard
am I allowed to take away its mega instead
>>26774303
No but you can take one mega away. Just not Sabeleye
Do you ever complete an in-game story run with a NFE Pokemon? By which I mean, you chose to keep it NFE, not you ran out of time or you couldn't get someone to trade with you?
I did with a level 100 Phanpy once because it's cute and tough for an NFE plus Pickup is real useful at that level.
If it takes an item to evolve (stone or other), I typically won't evolve it because sometimes those things can be hard to come by until much later on.
I once used Larvitar through a game of X where I used one mon from each gen, because by the time it would have evolved into pupitar I liked him better as a Larvitar and it evened out his leveling with everyone else
What the fuck happened /vp/.
It's extremely obvious that the average age of this board is 15.
Is it because of theSM__announcement?

Yeah I just clicked something in my /vp/ folder. I didn't even know I had that saved.

Does it bother anyone else when fans include the Orange Islands on game-based maps?
>>26772694
Also what the fuck is going on with these roads?
>>26772694
Where are the orange islands on this map?
>>26772724
Next to the Sevii Islands. When they're pretty much the anime version of said islands.
At least that one tried to look like Japan though.
One that will make me vomit and not want to sleep at night
>>26772665
Just look in the mirror.
Not pokemon, but if that's what you want...

Dearest /vp/ idiots,
Gimmie some cringe where you met ( I want IRL more, but online good) some degenerate who wants to fuck Pokemon.
>Obviously greentext
>>26772499
have met 4 pokefuckers in real life thus far, they were all reasonably successful and mostly well adjusted people.
one is now my boyfriend and we have great sex.
I'm starting to lose my faith in the legibility of these cringe stories, help me

>I know it's an edgelord deviantart mon with black fur but that alone does not justify dark typing.
>tfw luxray is actually cool, but no one appreciates it for what it is.
>>26772425
except it is a lion
the only large predatory cat it could be is a lynx
>>26772463
Which it is. It is a lynx, that's why it can see through walls.
Also I wanna skip the conversation ahead a few points by saying that yeah Luxray doesn't actually look much like a lynx. What I think Luxray is is simply a stylized big cat of nothing in particular.
There's a little bit of lion in there but visually I don't think it's supposed to be anything. Concept-wise it's most definitely a lynx.
>>26772425
>learns Bite, Crunch, Thief, and Snarl
>Still isn't a Dark-type
Don't be a faggot, OP.
