Having one mon. Two opponents. At least one of them probably has Stakeout. Good thing I'll pick up a Rockruff.

>>27504939
The fact it boosts its defense means you'll need to make sure you have a special attacker lead or risk stakeout absolutely murdering you.

If anyone thinks fighting a route 1 normal shitmon is gonna be hard you are fucking retarded. Especially since Gayfreak is trying extra hard to pander to the new pokemon go casual normie players. Go fuck youself with a stake.

If Gumshoos is not a native Pokemon then why is it a Totem Pokemon?

>>27505519
I intend to do a Moon playthrough while a friend does Sun, both nuzlockes.

But I'll probably be living out of my car when the game comes out.

I really can't imagine a single Pokemon being hard. I mean just poison the nigger.
And this concept only becomes worse on higher levels.
They're gonna need to be really creative with these boss fights.
I mean I like the idea, but I can't just imagine it work

>>27505476
Assuming a fighting type is both available that early and able to take hits well enough, while at the same time hitting hard enough to get through that +1 (or more) defense boost.

>>27505294
>brick break
Why not close combat or Focus Blast while you're at it.

>>27505586
But its not a single pokemon, they can call allies.
I imagine the later ones will effectively be like horde fights except actually at your level instead of 20 levels lower.

>When Totem Pokémon battle, they summon ally Pokémon to join them. With the support of these allies, the Totem Pokémon become even more powerful. And it seems that Pokémon other than Totem Pokémon sometimes call on allies to aid them.

>>27505437
It's not too difficult, it's just annoying if you go in blind. Retaliate was extremely powerful for when it comes up.
>base 140 after you kill the dog which already hits hard anyway
>210 with STAB at the second fucking gym

>>27505569
It replaced the old pokemon that it hunted to near extinction.

It's a Pokemon game I doubt anything they come up with can be hard.

Unless these Pokes are all 31 IV and they cheat by being perfectly EV trained in every stat (can't capture theses bosses)

>>27505569
Good question.

>>27504939
It uses its ability wallbuilder to increase its defense tenfold for itself and its team

>>27505613
Wait so you could run into some random wild Pokemon that will call in other Pokemon? Also is this implying that the Totem Pokemon gets a stat boost each time they call in their summon?

>>27505639
I doubt you'll be able to catch them, but one thing I'm scared about is whether or not they can be shiny. Imagine starting your battle with the totem mon and it's a shiny, and you just have to bludgeon it to death. Torturous.

>>27505609

>Surf

Either Pokemon are going to be horrible overpoweref or horribly easy. I cannot see the difficulty scaling properly

Nice contradiction there

>Totem Lurantis

>summoned Fomantis distract you as the Totem charges Solar Blade

I'm fucking hype for proper bossfights

All I want is a difficulty setting at game start.

Is that so much to ask? A switch that flips the game over into "not a cakewalk" mode?

I understand it's a children's game, I understand plenty of people will just be playing through it to unlock what they need for multiplayer, I understand not everyone wants to play on hard mode.

But surely enough people do?

>>27505569
Local and Native are not the same thing.

Native = Heritage
Local = Lives there

If you've ever been to Hawaii you know that even if you're born and raised there you're not allowed to call yourself "Native" because that's a term reserved for people of Pacific Island heritage.

However, Locals are people that have a permanent residence there and are considered to belong. So this "invasive" species became a local even though it's not from there originally.

>>27505069
The game's not even out yet anon, how do you know it will be Gen 6 easy?

>>27505613

>>27505675

>>27505609
I didn't notice from the trailer if the Yungoos summoned was an appropriate level, but I've always thought hordes would be really tough if the Pokemon weren't many levels below the base of the area on top of whatever levels you already higher. Having that many Pokemon hitting you for the normal amount can be pretty fucking hard which I assume was thre reason they were lower level in the first place. Honestly there's still so little we know. We don't know if they continuously summon, we don't know if they can summon more than one after the first one, we don't know if it can only summon unevovled forms of themselves, we don't know what the defense boost is (I kind of want to say I hope it's not only one stage but I feel like if it were 2+ it would have used that text instead of the +1 text), what Pokemon and moves are available at the time... this sounds like it might be tough in theory but there's too little we know about it.

Stakeout is a brilliant solution to Game Freak's problem of "we don't want this early route mon to be OP in-game, but we also don't want it to be garbage competitively." It's more elegant than the Hidden Ability solution, as you can still use your in-game Pokemon competitively.

Hardly anyone switches in-game, making Stakeout near useless. But take it to competitive, and it's brilliant.

I ended up "Nuzlocking" Heart Gold and White 1 simply by being careful near the beginning of the game. Once you gain momentum in any of the Pokemon games, it's very easy to complete a large bulk of the game without having a single Pokemon faint.

Why is trump a pokemon

So I just thought of something. Can only specific allies can come to specific Pokemon? Like only Yungoose helps Gumshoos?

If so, then I bet Rockruff will be the ally to the starters. Gamefreak did say "Rockruff has something to do with the starters."

Just speculating

I can't really wait to face the Captains, at any point of the game by the way, and the Totem Pokemon.

Too much anger. Seriously, get a life. Is your real life that fucked up? Hmmm... 'Gayfreak'. And sorry but I am pretty sure the designs of the Pokemon or even the storyline would have been finished before Pokemon Go "pilot" in Google Maps, with all needing the technical part, highly probable. Seriously. Go get a life, like right now... You are spending too much time in internet probably with your anti-social bs. Anti-social bs people hanging with other anti-social bs people... Then trying to normalize shit internet nasty talk as normal... Fml... Let us see if you can get anywhere in real life like that... Jesus, seriously. Find yourself good role models... I am gonna have an educated guess from your antisocial bs that you don't. Get a life, and save your future life,, like right now.

>implying a freshly caught Throh survived Retaliate
That's when panic mode was initiated
Of course it wasn't all that difficult after the initial fallback to whatever else was on your team, but it is a strategy that fucks up those idiots who rely on only a few Pokemon near the start of the game

I can't even put into words how fucking stoked I'd be for GF to continue this feature and add some truly rage-inducing boss fights.

Give us more ways to reduce the tedium of breeding à la Hyper Training and instead make the boss fights fucking absurd tests of skill and progress.

But, y'know, probably won't ever happen because kids' games.

Truth be told, like a dumbass, I've never played a homhack or in general modified versions of Pokemon (I started a Nuzlocke once, but it didn't feel challenging so I dropped it to do more breeding).

Any tips for a newbie looking to maybe explore some romhacks and stuff?

The whole statement was that it can't survive

which it can. And it can also be caught at level 17, in which it knows Vital Throw, which means it can OHKO both Herdier and Watchog and survive.

If only you played the game, you'd know this.

>farming to evolve the starter before the first gym

>>27513888
Try Sacred Gold/Storm Silver for starters. Great addon to HGSS, and removes a lot of its problems. One caveat: playing it on no$gba makes it buggy as hell unless you encrypt the rom. Or Blaze Black/Volt White 2 on Challenge mode.

>>27513514
Unfortunately, changing Totem Pokemon would might require CRO editing. Which is really only accessible to ReiNAND and Luma.

>>27513666
I think a lot of people had the mentality "I want to take care of the gym leader before going any further" and didn't notice the area to the south that you were supposed to go through first. Hence, underleveled and without Sawk/Throh.

>>27514497
Isn't it pretty easy to get those now?

They did Swagger shenanigans in XY with hoarde battles. I half-expect them to do it again with summons boosting a confusion-proof totem's attack.

>But I'll probably be living out of my car when the game comes out.
I did that for a few months, anon. You do not want to live like that. No access to water or bathrooms whenever you may need them. Hygiene suffers quite a bit. Intense feelings of guilt and shame. Easy to become bitter or resentful if you don't watch it. Breaks down/stinks up your car seats. Unhealthy to be sitting for long periods of time (nothing to do on free time usually), so some weight gain will happen.

Having a job is everything. Food stamps don't buy anything but food. You need to be able to buy soap if nothing else.

I was down to one meal a day. I know hunger, now. It sucks.

Live in a domicile. Get a real home ASAP. My heart breaks for you, anon. You in the USA? Park at a 24-hour Wal-Mart if possible: no tow-away policy, relatively safe, bathrooms, cheap-ish food.

24-hour truck stops are also good.

I did it in winter. Summer is hard too. You'll want air flow. You'll get sweaty. First time bugs eat you up in your sleep, or rain pours in your cracked window, it will be very depressing.

This could only get better if they give it evasion boosts instead of defense boosts. That way even if they give you heat wave/rock slide it still has some difficulty.
