And then at the beginning of the next season he'll get his rear end kicked by a trainer who just got his Rowlet the day before. Such is life.

RealFoxy posted:I think Ashe has some kind of mental block on his life. Both for not picking up on how to flirt and not picking up on how to battle Pokemon The animators want to show off by picking things that move fast and fly or jump high because that looks impressive. That explains his entire current team.

I think it's nice that the main character isn't necessarily the best at things. And that the Team Rocket three are only circumstantially evil. Basically I like the cartoon, everything is fun and good and adorable.

Yeah type match ups don't matter at all in the show so it would be dumb to criticize someone for type choices. The first gym he ever goes to he one shots a geodude with thundershock because he hooks Pikachu up to a water wheel last night, then brings a Onix to its knees by shorting the sprinkler system.

Internet Kraken posted:My faint hope is that Guzma using an Ariados in the trailer means he'll get a mega Ariados later. Ariados should have some sort of gimmick involving Durant and Galvantula. Also there should be a Sea Spider pokemon and a Trapdoor Spider pokemon and a Ogre-faced Spider pokemon and a Bola Spider pokemon.

Both for not picking up on how to flirt and not picking up on how to battle Pokemon what, you've never run a horribly imbalanced team before? It doesn't really matter as long as you have some attack type coverage. Unless you're playing D/P/Pt, and then you will lose to Cynthia. fuckin' Cynthia. speaking of imbalanced teams, just booted up my copy of White 2 for the first time in ages, and apparently I was doing a Poison type run, with Drapion, Crobat, Muk, Seviper, Amoonguss, and Scolipede. what a wonderful team.  Seviper doesn't seem to be pulling its weight though, and I think I just really wanted to use Seviper despite having better options. inexplicably, its Special Attack is slightly higher than its Attack, and it knows Flamethrower. Think I'm going to transfer the whole team over to White to save them for posterity, and do a new Monotype run. I think I already did a Grass type run once upon a time, so what type should I do next? No type is off limits, if it's Dragon or Ghost I'll make some eggs in White.

Super No Vacancy posted:does getting 30 level ups from a blissey base increase my pokes happiness for the happiness evolvers or do i need to run around with all of them in my party forever Yes. Evolving is like +5/+3 (I think) happiness depending, so it'll get them pretty close, but you may also need to run around a bit to finish it off.

You can do a happiness evolution entirely through levelups, you just have to make sure the Pokemon doesn't also have a daytime or nighttime requirement.

I'm curious what Alolan forms do to stats, do we have any info on that? Do they keep the exact same stats, do they get reorganized (but same stat total), or do they change completely?

No one knows yet, but my best guess is that the base stat total are the same (otherwise one would be superior to the other), but the stats would be shuffled. It is mentioned that Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash have a a hard shell that makes them more durable but slower then the Ground-type Sandshrew and Sandslash.

Improbable Lobster posted:Cradily isn't a coral No, but it's still an animal typed as a plant, just like the hypothetical Grass/Steel Corsola. Although now that I think about it, I want to see a Water/Grass Tentacool/Tentacruel that are based on those jellyfish that were trapped in island lakes that lost their stinging cells in favor of entering a symbiosis with algae.
