But yeah, watch some people online, try things out in Showdown, or bang your head against Battle Spot, it's fun no matter what you do!

I recommend OU to learn on since it has a smaller pool of viable pokemon so you're not overwhelmed by threats or choices once you feel comfortable enough to make your own team. OR you could look up a mon you like on smogon, and there'll be a blurb at the end detailing pokemon that go well with it on a team and its counters and use that to build

I missed the Jirachi giveaway month ages ago because I was not re-into-Pokemon at the time. Anyone have an extra and want to throw it to a goon? Trying to get a full 'dex before S&M make it even harder. I guess I also need a Reshiram but that's way easier to get.

But the trainers are literally stands and their attacks are manifested as giant nuke explosions and tsunami whirlpools and ghost hands dragging the enemy to hell etc. Don't take the fun out of this

Oh God drat It. Always save often friends, cause if your game cartridge accidently pops out of your 3DS just before you fight Steven in ORAS Nuzlocke and your last save was before Mossdeep Gym and several hard deaths ago your feels for the suddenly revived pokemon may make you unable to continue the game. Oh well, maybe I'll start over.

Is mewtwo still the coolest legendary ever? And what was the pokemon gamefreak tried to market hard as the new lucario? It was black with edgy red highlights. Did it ever become super popular like they tried to make it?

Redeye Flight posted:Zoroark. I don't know, but I don't think so either. Zoroark and Zorua are kind of a sad case. Game Freak really wanted to recreate Lucario's popularity so they made another bipedal canine and made them super rare in Black and White. In order to actually get one of each in your game, you needed to transfer special legendaries like Celebi and Shiny Legendary Beasts from the Gen 4 games through a special method exclusively for these Pokémon and activate events with them in Black and White. Then at some point they must have realized that the only Pokémon that could fill Lucario's shoes was Lucario itself. So later games came out, Riolu and Lucario got more and more prominent (you can catch wild Riolu before your first badge in Black 2, White 2, X and Y) while Zoroark and Zorua got more and more "common". They were "demoted" from special event requiring legendaries (Black and White) to being given to as a gift (Black 2 and White 2) to being available in the wild late game (X and Y) to being available on the first route after unlocking the national dex (Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire). Wow that's a lot of words for Pokémon I don't really care for that much.

Zorua and Zoroark are cool illusion foxes, and their movie is way better than Lucario's. Well, if only because the Zorua movie is practically a nod to Steins;Gate.

Zoroark is pretty good, even competitively in singles. Plus it has an awesome shiny, unlike some of my other favorites.

Zoroark is fun to use, especially with Trick and a choice scarf. I used it for one of the Halloween tournaments they did, last year I think? The only problem is that it's really frail, so you need to be careful what you disguise it as. So it's kinda difficult to work into a team because it takes up at least two party slots. In competitions you can also choose to disguise it as something else on the fly, since you'll be picking the order of your party before each battle. A lot of people don't know that Illusion works that way.

Zoroark and Lucario are both in the deviantart furry egg group. It is very difficult for me to justify using them.

If someone manages to get one of those Snorlax gifs down to avatar size, they will officially be my favorite person. Because those are amazing and I want to be reminded of them every time I post. Also Alolan Rattata is cool I guess. I find it hard to be hype about Rattata in any form.

I find Illusion would work on a pokemon that could take a hit. Dark doesn't really resist much other than psychic, ghost, and dark and even neutral attacks are going to absolutely steam roll it. Given that flying and ground cover what psychic would be used for I don't really see much use for it. Now if you gave illusion to a steel type? That would help.

Good thing too as we'd be getting bipedal dogs each Gen just like the Electric rodents if it had worked.

They mentioned that it has a special connection to the starter Pokémon and it apparently has a special evolution. With all the rumors that it'll become a werewolf, I wouldn't be surprised if they hype Rockruff's family as Gen 7's answer to Lucario and Zoroark.

I really like Lucario's design, though, and I never really clicked into Zoroark's the same way, is the big difference. I'm having a hard time explaining why, honestly, but that's how it is on my end.

Zoroarc is cool because his signature move is neat (no idea if it is good) and because you can occasionally trick your bros into wasting a Psychic, which is cool and good.
