Where did he and Rui leave to after his adventure /vp/?
I mean I was kind of hoping for a Red-like confrontation with him as a superboss of sorts, but it's like he just vanished.
>>25740179
A Red-like confrontation in XD that is*
Probably should've left that detail in.
He gave all the Shadow Pokemon away to Brendan and Red, then flew away into the sunset on Ho-oh's back, never to be seen again.The Espeon Red uses in GSC was his
I forgot where I read this, but he was supposedly going to return as the main antagonist of XD, but they decided to scrap the idea somewhere in development. Really would have felt like less of an asspull than Verich being Greevil.

I've been trying to think of concrete reasons as to why all the games after Gen II have seemingly lost their magic for me, and I've finally settled on the one thing above all others that bothers me most about neo-pokemon. It happened while I was playing Black version, and I transferred over a random level 60 Misdreavous I caught in Soul Silver about 7 years ago. Then I came upon a terrible realization: it had an Impish nature and was USELESS.
Natures ruin the games. I've said it. This is not an exaggeration or hyperbole. They are an unenjoyable experience. Your mon are useless unless you are blessed by the RNG gods with the 2-3 natures out of 21 that aren't completely useless for your specific Pokemon. It's just bad game design, and it wouldn't even be that hard for them to fix. Just make it so you can't get an objectively bad nature for a given Pokemon, like a Lonely Alakazam or a Naughty Blissey.
GF are stubborn fucks though and I don't expect they'll ever implement a new system that isn't anti-player. They care too much about the Pokemon having "personality" (meanwhile 99% of competitive players breed legit perfect pokemon from hacked parents to get around their stupid IV and nature mechanic).
Anyone who thinks natures were good for Pokemon is autistic.At best it's another box I have to click on powersave. And in gen IV and V, with Pokegen dead and me having sold my Action Replay almost a decade ago now, it's a game ruiner.
>>25740149
I think I may agree with you. Was replaying Crystal and it was definitely a more relaxed experience, since I didn't have to worry about Abilities or Natures. I missed the physical/special split a bit, but knowing the game didn't have it beforehand, it helped me decide who to catch.
The sprites had some charm to them too, in part because of how ragged and different from the anime they came across (e.g. Entei). And they left to more imagination that way.
>>25740149
Natures only negatively affect the metagame, which GF isn't required to care about. There's nothing wrong with them in-game.
I don't mind natures because they're easy to manipulate and they all have a fair distribution. There might genuinely be someone out there who wants to build a physically defensive physical Mismagius.
IVs are the real cancer because there's no downside to min/maxing them and they're a pain to control.

Sorry if the formatting for the greentext is wrong, mobile fag and I had to copy/paste the text in.
Breed a Whimsicott cause I thought it looked cute. Didn't expect it to actually be viable with the most fucked up hilarious prankster sets and it's been my lead whenever I play competitive ever since.
Solrock was surprisingly solid in an Emerald Nuzlocke run once
>>25741201
I love whimsicott. Favorite cutemon and probably top 5 overall.
There a way to get pokemon bank without updating my firmware? I'm on 9.0 and want to stay here for flash card and injection purposes.
Or is my only option to use a 3ds on latest firmware since I didn't grab it when mine was current?
>>25739565
Can't you just get a9lh and update to the current firmware, with the option to start up at your lower firmware? I have mine set up so I can boot into 9.2 if I ever want to.
>>25739823
I've been way out of the 3ds exploit/mod loop since late 2014. Is this where I update system nand to newest while maintaining the ability to boot emulated 9.x?
What's your opinion of Bogleech, /vp/?
The guy behind it is a big amateur biologist / monster enthusiast who has done some pretty in-depth reviews and analyses of select Pokemon before. Now he's doing that for every evolutionary family and is already up to Mr. Mime.

This is actually pretty interesting.
he's cool, i like his monster reviews
>>25739494
The man knows his monsters. I'm gonna have to go through these over the weekend or something.

Implying Feebas and its rarity weren't a great feature in Gen 3. Sadly I wasn't a kid at the time so I missed out on this but implying it wasn't great seeing an actual rare pokemon. It must've been great conversation material at the time. Being "that kid" but with an actual rare pokemon. Endlessly barraged.
It surely must've been a fun time. They did something similar in gen 4 with honey trees (and gen 2 with shinies) but sadly they've never done anything past gen 4.
So my question is: How was it. The Feebas hype?
>>25739377
How's it like being underaged?
I wanted one so bad at the time; NEVER EVER got one.
>>25739387
Unless you reclused your own childhood you wouldn't need to ask.
What's it like shitposting?
Is BW2 worth playing? I've only played White and was thinking about picking them up.
Everyone but people being contrarian for the sake of it are going to say yes, including me.
If you enjoyed White, you should like BW2. They're great games, though the story is garbage. But hey you're probably not playing Pokemon for the story so yeah go for it.
>>25739363
BW2 > BW
Roxie is bae.
These worth picking up? I played W2 recently but I wasn't sure if I should just stick to that or if these would be worth it too.
Just emulate it :^)

Which should I go with?
ganguro master race female

Grill. There is a perfect hairstyle for a ganguro-type character, be sure to buy it in blonde as soon as you can.

Hi, I am John Gamefreak.
Pokemon Sun and Moon will be gen 7. Not gen 6.5.
Most believable leak yet
>>25738366
Agreed
Do not listen to him, he's lying.
Pokemon Sun and Moon will be Gen 6.5, and will have Zygarde as their mascot.
pokemon mosu
Let me try...
BlRe/GrRe

Would you play a Pokemon Musou?
Mewtwo is my favorite Pokemon. Is that bad?
Not inherently. Are you an edgelord faggot and/or genwunner? If so, then yes, it is bad. Else, no.
>>25738109
Yes

So this bitch I have for my sexual satisfaction comes to me and says...
>Hoe: Anon, I know you like pokemon and I wanted to ask you what are crystals for?
>AlphaMe: Dunno Bitch, Pokemon doesn't use crystals
>Hoe: But on the new cellphone pokemon game video that was all over twitter says it uses crystals
>AlphaMe: Bitch WTF are you talkin'bout?
Shows video as I was busy getting them moneys and didn't got a chance to see it
>AlphaMe: Hmmm...
>Hoe: Remember that on the Logos you showed me they had crystals as well...
>AlphaMe just stays staring at both this pictures for a while
Bitch got some talent to spot details...
This was cringy.
Anyways, I just hope those crystals are something like the Red and Blue Orbs in RSE instead of adding a new mechanic.
But knowing GameFreak...
