Smogon ruined my sis’ reputation but I’ll always be there for her. I miss you Lily, you died when my b2 cartridge was corrupted but I’ll always have you in my heart

Playing X right now and I'm using Crobat for the first time. It's unexpectedly become my team's ace
It saved my ass so many times, and always seems to land several flinches in a row when I use Bite

>>28185094
Brobat is a top tier bro-mon. He always comes through when you need him.

>>28185422
Yeah, really is. I used to hate Zubat too but now I love the little guy.

Honorable mention for Mienfoo/Mienshao as well, he never let me down.

It was a miracle, i couldnt just get rid of that togepi, he was blessed. I decided to keep him and well, eventually he became a togekiss and he's a tanky sp attacker monster
That innocent little lvl 5 togepi became a total killer who gave no fucks

>>28184820
That's a nice tale anon

>>28185640
e4 vs literally who

>>28185640
Yeah but, one of them is a member of the E4 and the other is 70 years old but his best pokemon is only level 30.

>>28185640
There's no way you can lose in-game with shitmons unless you're underleveled or truly incompetent.

Outside of the game, it's irrelevant, since the battle spot is dominated by thirteen year olds with full legendary teams.

>>28185694
>>28185699
E4 vs Gentleman on an island restricted to those who have defeated the E4 :^)

>>28185543
Togekiss is based as fuck.

>>28185911
Yeah when Gen IV first came out I didnt like Togekiss. I hated the design and the name. The design has grown on me at least.

Playing HG I felt obligated to train Togepi and after beating the E4 decided to give Kiss a try because Tic is so shitty.

After finding the Shiny stone and some trips to the Move Reminder it turns out Kiss is pretty awesome. Guy was the backbone of my team in Kanto and reliable as fuck. I love him now, even though I still think his name is stupid.

>>28184805
Had pic related chain-fished for me from a friend after I lamented being unable to get it in Y, despite being a favorite.

Ended up helping me sweep Diantha. Baton passed it a shell smash and went to town with all variety of lasers and shots.

Also, Typhlosion, since it was my first starter ever, back in Gold.

>>28186333
exactly, it was only 6 lvl over you

>>28185740
One of the weakest members of any E4, no less. A clear winner if Bruno didn't actively try for the worst spot.

I could type out a story that you've probably heard from a few people before but I'm just gonna say this: this guy saved my ass countless times on Silver as a kid and he will forever be my bro.

Honestly not sure why I hated the Ambipom design so much. Now I like it better than the Aipom design desu

In my last Platinum run I wanted a cute shouldermon so I trained an Aipom with Secret Power/Focus Punch/Thief/Attract. She was awesome. Singlehandedly took out Cynthia's Lucario with consecutive Focus Punches

My go-to Water bro in every game except White, since non gen V stuff was mostly post game in that.

>>28186766
>I am doing
>he was

A moment of silence for our fallen friends.

>>28185422
I used to dismiss the entire line until I did a Poison monotype of GSC back around Platinum's release. Since then, Crobat has been easily in my top three and always on my team whenever possible.

I always liked the line before, but now that I have him he is one of my favorites.

>>28187667
My bad. I wanted him to get Moonblast when/if I was able to transfer him to ORAS, but in that game he can only learn it as Oddish. So I kept him as an Oddish and used a Heart Scale after he was transferred.

I'm a fucking idiot if I could travel back in time I'd shoot my idiot self and confiscate Ruby before dissipating because of a paradox. I fucking miss my Beach.
