Pokémon Community Thread: Gotta Catch 'Em All!

Are there any Pokemon you guys would love to use but for one reason or another are useless? I really like Stantler for some reason but i just can't bring myself to put it on my team.
My team will almost always have my starter, Kadabra, and Pikachu. Sometimes I evolve them, sometimes not. I also liked having Nidoking for a while.

Primeape is one of my personal favorites but I think I only used it in one run-through of FireRed. I guess I just don't care much for the Fighting type.

Snorlax, Slowking, Shuckle, Musharna, Excadrill, Whimsicott, Darmanitan, Bisharp, and Braviary.

Mostly due to just type disliking.

Shedinja is one of my favourite Pokemon but with how common weather effects and status moves are, using it is pretty much a handicap. I really want Game Freak to change Wonder Guard so that a Pokemon with it only takes damage from super effective moves and status moves are blocked just like with magic guard. Shedinja has so many weaknesses and the fact that even one hit would kill it surely means that this wouldn't overpower it.

Will QA for food.
Arbok is pretty cool. He picked up Coil this generation, which goes really well with Gunk Shot (improving its suspect accuracy and Arbok's lackluster Atk/Def). He actually has a pretty nice movepool too, if you look at 4th Gen Move Tutors (Earthquake, Aqua Tail, Sucker Punch, Rock Slide, Seed Bomb, Switcheroo). It's just a shame when your only STAB is poison, strong as Gunk Shot is, and of course Arbok's stats are mostly terrible.

So if we edit the google doc does it automatically update your post?

I have to approve the changes and add them to the thread, which prevents Wiki-style vandalism. Google Docs has built in revision history so if someone messes up the doc I can just roll it back.

So then whats the difference between us editing the doc and just asking you?

Well nothing really for a URL change, other than the warm fuzzy feeling that you're contributing. :p

But if it's something a bit larger then I'm less likely to do it myself, thus if you want to see it done you should take it onto yourself. This is less of an issue for the Community thread where there aren't likely to be big changes, but more of one for the BW OT et al.

How are you going to get past the metal detectors?

TBH the chances it was for DS have been decreasing by the day since Nobunaga was announced (which is when the odds spiked in its favor.) If I had to make the bet today I wouldn't say it would necessarily be for either. It's a Gray area.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Andrex don't do this to me buddy BROTHERS UNTIL THE END even if you hate on the musicals.

But we're all agreed that no matter what NoA decides to spell it, we are spelling it 'Grey', yes?

Also if it's going to be on 3DS I really hope Nintendo have a hardware revision ready. I don't want to buy that fucking thing as it is right now.

NO. GRAY UNTIL THE END OF DAYS YOU MOROSE MALLARD.

It doesn't screw up your activity log and whatnot if you try to RNG on a 3DS, assuming you set it back afterwards, right? I've reached the point where it wants me to change the date, but it has me a little worried, as I don't want anything to get screwed up.

Game names can have different spellings in different regions, you know. In the UK Sonic Colours has a U in it but in America it's just Sonic Colors. There's no reason it couldn't be Gray in America and Grey in all the locations that's the correct spelling in.
