No one picks Lucas in DPPT. That's almost as bad as picking Brendan in RSE.

Even trying to compare Lucas to Brendan. Ugh, I can't stand it.

Lucas is amazing- particularly his Platinum design. Dat beret.

[Professor Beef]

Who is Lucas?

[Emitan]

Stop playing singles...

My Pokemon won't work in doubles though. :(

[Frost_Ace]

Try rotations maybe?

Single trained pokemon usally work anf they're pretty fun with all the predicting and stuff.

Yeah I finally found a rotation match. Still took a while though...

[Wiseblade]

I see Scolipede gets Aqua Tail in B2/W2 now. Would that be a good move to teach it?

Not really, he already has access to Earthquake. Unless you're planning on surprising a lot of Moltreses (Moltreii?) then aqua tail is an inferior choice.

Dia is awesome, so Lucas is awesome. Simple as that.





Left to right:





In fact he may be my favorite Pokemon Special character. He's hilarious.

[ScraftyDevil]

He traded his Munchlax... for a Chatot?

[backlot]

I'm finally finding singles battles. I guess you just have to play late at night.

[Aggrotek]

Are the random match ups tough? I'm not great at competitive battling. :(

[backlot]

It's a mixed bag but you're going to find a lot of IV bred and EV trained Pokemon.

Also I just faced a Japanese player using a defensive Raichu. Certainly didn't expect that.

[Chet Rippo]

He traded his Munchlax... for a Chatot?

He upgraded.

But Chatot is kinda cool. We've need a parrot for awhile and we finally get one. And he even has a musical theme to him!

Hey, I love music as much as the next guy, but Chatot is kind of garbage. Munchlax is the true king of the Gen IV Normal-types.

[Andrex]

Can't you not even use Chatot online or in tournies?

[Professor Beef]

I think Chatot might be worse than Farfetch'd.

[tiggerkiddo]

I think it's just his one move that's banned.

And you take that back Beef! Both are super underrated...Game Freak has just delegated them to the Flareon tier! They'll get some love soon...right?

I love Chatot. My first avatar was of Chatot. I absolutely loved his design when DPPt came out. To bad he sucks stats-wise, but I don't give a shit about stats as some of you are quite aware of by now. :P

And what's wrong with Flareon? I loved him back in Pokemon RBY. He's still my fave eevee-lution.

Why use Munchlax when you can just breed a Snorlax and get, you know, Snorlax.

I like him quite a bit too but while he has great attack, he doesn't get much in the way of physical fire based moves. His special attack still seems decent enough for him to get mileage out of the other fire moves...imho.

Is that Jessie or C. Viper? And is it wrong I laughed and then shook my head in sadness?

Munchlax is too hood. That's why the G isn't as dope as Snorlax yo.

[ScraftyDevil]

Because Snorlax doesn't dominate the Little Cup/RU tiers, nor is he half as adorable.

[Emitan]

Snorlax is a NEET

Yes it is.

[Kokonoe]

Singles is my favorite way to play Pokemon, I don't care for doubles or triples that much.

[Firestorm]

My Pokemon won't work in doubles though. :(

What Pokemon? Or do you mean the specific sets?

I know a lot of people who play GBU (Doubles though) and find matches quite easily. Although at certain hours the pool can be small. Especially if you look for a battle as soon as you finish one. I once played the same Japanese player three times in a row like that lol. It was nice though. Got a best of 3 without trying. He destroyed me Game 1 but I learned from my mistake and beat him in Game 2 and 3. Learned from my mistake and also knew by Game 2 that his Hitmontop outsped mine...

[Kokonoe]

When I entered a tournament, all I really had to do for my team was give a few of them Protect for doubles.

I meant the Pokemon I trained for singles. Their move sets wouldn't have worked very well in doubles. I was actually able to find a steady stream of singles players after 11 pm though.

Rock Slide already hits Moltres 4x effectively.

So then you knew the answer to the question before you asked it.

[less laughter]

I think Chatot might be worse than Farfetch'd.

Delibird is worse than either, though.

[Kokonoe]

Delibird is worse than either, though.

I think you just killed tiggerkiddo.

[tiggerkiddo]

Audubon would be so disappointed with the lot of you.

[Frost_Ace]

If you run scolipede in a rain team aqua tail is nice for pseudo stab.

Also just figured out where Chet's nickname comes from :P(playing ttyd).

[Zeroth]

Phew, just completed the Multi Battle Subway using my story pokemon. I was in desperate need of the Speed EV enhancing thingy for my in-training Lucario (and all the future things I will breed that require lots of speed), so I decided to test my luck with the battles.

Thankfully Zoroark and Jellicent combined very well with Hilda's team, so we managed to get to the Subway Bosses. I was pretty scared that they would beat us, but the battle was relatively easy, and in the end I managed to outlive their Klingkang with my Jellicent (his Volt Switch wasn't as dangerous as I feared) :P

[Chet Rippo]

I don't claim that to be the best game for nothing.

Welp.

I do tend to have the urge to worship Satan. Maybe she's on to something.

Welp.

Now now, the worried mother is only trying to protect her child.

But seriously though, now we've gone from debates on Pokemon causing kids to go violent to debates on Pokemon causing kids to worship the devil???

Who would have thought that a world of imagination created by an inventive Japanese mind would have caused so much debate, confusion, and worry?

[OMG Aero]

Welp.

Have fun with not knowing what you are doing.
Not like you ever do though.

>Implying I ever really pay attention to the plot

[MikeMyers]

>Implying I ever really pay attention to the plot

RBY Plot:
You get Pokemon
Douche gets Pokemon
Criminal Organization kills Marowak, you beat that organization
You beat all the well known gym leaders/elite 4, and then Douche.

GSC Plot:
You get Pokemon
Douche steals Pokemon
Criminal Organization is back, and even lamer this time around.
HOLY SHIT GYARADOS IS SHINY
Beat all Gyms, Elite 4, and the guy from the original game

See? Its easy to work out

[Firestorm]

Delibird is worse than either, though.

Nope. I've never seen something good outta Farfetch'd or Chatot. No niche for them. One of the best players out there used Delibird on her VGC '10 team to good effect though! This was the metagame where you were allowed two ubers per team.
