Unless your old cards are coveted and in good condition, they are probably worthless.

Looking to get into poke again, should I buy the machamp tin box?
>>25667052
I recommendstarting off with a theme deck to start.But you probably shouldn't listen to me, I'm apparently a retard when it comes to deckbuilding.
>>25667052
Are you playing online? I'm getting back into it for the first time since the fossil set. I am playing online for a while to see what works and what doesn't before spending any money.
A question to regulars from these threads, I occasionally see people posting their codes on here, do they work multiple times? Should I be keeping an eye out for these?
>>25666810
They're just salty shits because Z isn't happening.
>>25666831
Z doesn't need to happen.
I called my mom anon today
How accurate is this?
>>25666590
If you put Lucario as "Furfag dog bait", it's perfect.
Looks like fb material

Sceptile should be dinosaur-dragon, Charizard should be Smaug, Pikachu Libre should be R. Pika, and Shadow Mewtwo should beFrieza.
Post Foodmons!
Pic related, the Foodmon Dex I've been working with. Lazy backsprites are lazy
>making backsprites
>not just flipping them horizontally
Do you even lazy?
>>25666491
Eh, more or less what I'm doing
>>25666458
This is pretty solid sprite work, definitely makes the often complained about food mons look like they belong quite a bit more.
Was Gen I the darkest gen?
>>25666382
Yeah back lights hadn't been invented back then so it was really hard to see.
It was the dankest gen
>>25666414
Let's get another one of these threads going. No genwars, just shitty Pokémon redesigns.
that is not gen 1 at all
Put toriyama eyes on it
Made a request for Hydreigon in the last thread but didn't get it.
Only Hydreigon, ignore the prevos.
>>25666184
>No genwars
/vp/ is genuinely incapable of avoiding a gen war, even if the purpose of the thread is for fun.
It's only a matter of time before "The problem with gen 1" is posted.
Lets have a talk about regional availability and the native regions of certain Pokemon.
would the possibility of starters from previous regions showing up be too outlandish?
they come from somewhere, unless all the professors are friends and happen to have starters in their safari
Well I think the Tailow line is the regional bird if Hoenn because it's rarer.
Wingull can be found in every region I think
I don't like the fact that you can't catch that Corpish the first time you got to Mauville City...
I am having an argument with a friend of mine, and I decided this would be the best place to get it answered.
In the world of pokemon, would you be allowed to sell pokemon you catch, for money?
Or collect a requested pokemon for money.
This does not involve stealing a pokemon, or taking it from the safari zone.
>>25665931
>In the world of pokemon, would you be allowed to sell pokemon you catch, for money?
there is the guy who sells you a magikarp for 500p saying its a very strong pokemon
later he says he doesnt give refunds
>>25665931
I think that that would be legal, so long as the Pokemon wasn't abused in some fashion.
you can buy pokemon at the casinos
17 out of 18 types are used in the games. Dark-type isn't one of them. And it's been 20 fucking years now...
If anyone doesn't give me an good explanation why, I'll consider anhero.
>>25665904
Dark-type isn't [used in the games]...
Nigga, Team Galactic had tons of dark types. Cyrus' final team had 4 dark type pokemon on his team. Other teams have used them too.
And Karen, Sydney, and Grimsley.
Other than bait, what the fuck are you talking about?
I guess they like to tease us now.
Though In XY they shoved the Fairy type down our throats. In ORAS one of the Fairy type trainers had dialog of trying to make a Fairy gym in Hoenn. . .
Some day there will be a Dark gym
>>25665904
because dark type translates more closely to evil type in japanese. and fighting is closer to hero type iirc.
>inb4 muh Japanese culture
Your Bromon gets +20BST towards 1 stat.
Which stat? What happens to its viability?
I'd say +20 to HP to Pic related. I want a Bulky Bat.
As for how viable it'd be, I think it might jump a tier.
>>25665863
Fuck that. Poor bastard needs more special attack. It "just" misses out of getting good enough damage pumped out. Give it base 117 attack and watch how many 2HKO's turn into 1HKO's....at least against some frailer mons.
20BST into Speed.
RIP everything.
>>25665863
Damage output is fine but it's defenses really cave to so many attacks these days. So maybe +20 in HP. AV or Leftovers variants may have better survivability
ITT: Make a weak pokemon so powerful they become broken
>>25665661
Lopunny?
>>25665661
Give any pure electric type Wonder guard, make it hold Air Balloon and call it a day.
>>25665661
Smeargle
Sketch now drains the enemies HP and deals 322% more damage if it steals an attack
ITT: We post our competitive teams and their movesets.
R8, H8, Masturb8.

is psyshock more useful than psychic? Could you explain this to me?
>>25665622
>Ambipom
>>25665660
It's useful for special attackers to get past special walls like Chansey.
>>25665660
It is to hit Chansey and Blissey, otherwise I get walled by them.
