Unleashing my best...

LUMINARY UPPERCUT!!

I know I'm late to shiny chat, but my shiny Vaporeon has every ribbon from Gen 4 to 6, and she is clearly super stunning.

I don't have too many other stories to tell about my shiny hunting, aside from the very first one I ever caught was an Onix back in Crystal.

Does Meis post here anymore? My only shiny was a Kirlia from their friend safari. I have a box full of cloned shiny Gardevoirs' with their mega stone named Meis I like to give to random people.

Got a bunch of shinies from Diamond after my friend used Action Replay to guarantee shinies when using the poke radar.

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

I like Azumarill, although it's very definitely in the "underwhelming gen 2 Pokemon that was dramatically improved by later gens" bracket.

Just this happy egg-shaped rabbit that also happens to be be a ridiculous powerhouse. Lapis was the lynchpin of my team in X, and it's so far the only mon I've bothered to breed a competitive version of (having that 3IV bonus of Azurill being in the Undiscovered egg group helped there).

Remember when everyone thought there must be M-Farchet'd because a guy at the start of the game will trade you one, and why else would they draw attention to it?

Because the start of the X and Y game is literally the only place where Farfetch'd could be of any use. Especially since the first gym leader uses Bug types.

Its stats are hot garbage compared to other fully evolved Pokémon, but its one of the stronger choices at the very beginning of the game where you have access to a few species and they all have yet to evolve (although wondertrade can bust leveling progression wide open). After beating the first gym, you gain access to an entire slew of options and Farfetch'd can be boxed forever.

i went to america when i was 7, straight after pokemon blue had come out, and of the entire roadtrip between los angeles and las vegas i remember nothing except crying in a hotel bathroom because i traded away my abra and got a stupid rear end mr mime. the same has been true of my life. once i was a bright and shining star. men loved me. women loved me. the camera loved me. i was a silken sylphlike goddess of the aurora with a thigh gap like the capertee valley (second widest canyon in the world fyi) and in my depths a fleshy ember smouldered. this is not when i was 7 mind you, when i was 7 i was a child. but in time i became something more than a child... i became a woman. anyway long story short i can turn rice into risotto with just two cups of chicken stock and the atmospheric conditions of my most intimate spaces but it's both a blessing and a curse

Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best.

Never because he has no reason to be a Dark type and we've had this conversation like every ten or so pages.

Strong Jaw would be nice though.

I hope they make more abilities like Strong Jaw and Mega Launcher. They're really cool and give some love to underused move-types.

Also Iron Fist should really be buffed up to a 50% boost to put it in line with them imo.

Any Pokemon can be dark type as long as they're kind of an rear end in a top hat. Luxray can see through walls, just toss a pokedex entry in about it using the power to dig up bunnelby warrens or something and we're good.

There are some Dark Types that aren't assholes!

Absol, Greninja, Pangoro, Umbreon, Shiftry and Sableye aren't at least.

The rest, yeah, you have a point.

My three year old invented his own, Clancham(an alternate evolution of Pancham) and Tigreen. And when he watches the show and they get into battles he pretends he's Abra and helps out. He likes to tell me "I have 10 new Pokemon you don't have yet".

No matter how many times I tell him though, he believes Mew evolves into MewTwo. Just, no. No son.

All but Absol are at least kind of of dicks. Greninja deliberately toys with opponents using its speed and relatively weak shurikens to bleed them out, Pangoro is surly and violent even if it hates bullies, Shiftry is a tengu, Sableye is a gremlin, and Umbreon spews poison sweat when it gets mad.

I like that absol gets a bad rap because it shows up when disasters show up, it's a cool pokedex entry.

I wish mega absol were better but it was fun to use, its biggest problem was probably that it was too obvious that you were gonna mega it for magic bounce.
