Hair pieces = Lucario's hair
Long sweeping hair = Milotic's hair
Fur around wrists / fur scarf = Roserade's flower hands
Hair over one eye = Spiritomb's single swirly eye
Dark flowing coat = Garchomp Tail / Arm fins
I just never gotten around to figuring out Togekiss, hence never thought past that in the theory lol.
Shouldn't the sixth design element be from Gastrodon? The yellow stripes on her hair dodads and shoes, perhaps.

Oh yeah, forgot her design originally comes from Diamond/Pearl instead of Platinum lol. In Platinum she has a Togekiss and not a Gastrodon. So then yeah, the yellow stripes of the Gastrodon works with the yellow stripes in her hair pieces and shoes.

Just beat Pokemon Platinum. Really good game and the E4/Champion were harder than I anticipated! I got used to the cakewalks that were the Black 2/X E4.

They beat the ledge, only to blackout right after lol.

;__; how ironic
Chat: "We beat the ledge! YES!"
Rhyhorn: "NO YOU DIDN'T!"
Play Black 2 (or White 2) on challenge mode without using healing items in battle. It becomes a completely different game in terms of difficulty.

Considering how the ledge managed to stall us until we had one Pokemon left, we're probably going to black out to a trainer the next two or three times we get past it.
Hopefully the principle of attrition will make it easier, and the levels that everyone gains will make it easier to survive... unfortunately, single levels tend to matter less lategame...

Aside from being lvl 100, what are the chances we'll get through the E4 and Cynthia in the next two days lol.

We have gotten significantly worse at the E4 the more attempts we do. We always make the wrong switch.
I know I know, just joking.
I looooooved the Emerald E4 attempts, so I don't mind if it takes 150 attempts to beat it this time.

This time we'll probably end up with 3 lvl 100 pokemon. Bronzong, Roserade and Flareon. Bibarel might be close. But for the most part those are the only pokemon that can pull weight.

The sooner we dump Shinx the better. There is essentially no chance of it evolving as it never lasts more than a turn.

I would say 006 has a higher chance as surf+waterfall can sweep most of Bertha and Flint
It might be Queen Sunbrella, Solareon, and 006
Great to wake up to see not a single run has been as successful as our first one. It's like people completely forgot spamming b prevents switches. Also based on Flareon's level increase since last night it's clear Solareon will be our 2nd level 100 in TPP history...oh the irony.

I tried for hours to get them to press B but almost nobody did until we already switched to the worst possible Pokemon, then we consistently used B to prevent us from switching to something better. Also, using the set option won't help all that much considering most of the switching is due to trolls spamming the bottom right button.
No, Set is a must. It's been key in every E4 run to date. There will be trolls hitting the Pokemon button sure, just like there were ones spamming right/down in previous generations. But when we get to the point that it appears to be THE URN, then the grand majority of chat starts to spam A (or in this case, the appropriate coordinates for our spammable move). Individual coordinates get ignored all the time, especially when a lot of inputs are being entered, so I wouldn't worry about a few troll inputs. Thinking the chat is somehow going to alternate between A and B flawlessly in Switch mode, however, if asking way way too much.

Hahaha, imagine telling everyone back in TPPRed that our 2nd level 100 would be a Flareon
They would first wonder how the hell we got through so many games, and then freak out at the fact
Btw, we REALLY shouldn't have this trouble with Aaron when Flareon is our first party member
Shinx still hasn't had a chance to evolve lol. Shouldn't be taken out though; Venomoth proved it doesn't matter how useful you are on paper, you just never know what will happen.
And you guys weren't kidding about possible multiple pokemon at lvl 100. I have a feeling Bibarel will catch up quick (maybe get there first), with Bertha and Flint to get exp from.

Shinx was forever denied evolution by trolls, same goes for golbat to become crobat.
In a nutshell, all our evolutions were pure luck.

The are dedicated people spamming B to deny Pokemon of evolution, every single evolved poke has being pure luck. So they best Volker and everything? Wow

I'm pumped, even before the game started, we wanted the elite 4. We need to evolved MacDeadweight over here. He could actually do something against Togekiss.
A Crobat wouldn't hurt either.

Alright this should be easy.
Flareon sweeps Aaron
Rosesade sweeps Bertha
Bibarel sweeps Flint
Bronsong payback should deal with Lucian.

I see we finally switched battle mode to set. That should eliminate 50% of our dumb switches thankfully. Flareon will be 100 in no time now.
I think the idea is Flareon sweeps Aaron, switch to Bibarel ASAP vs Bertha then spam Surf, let Flareon die vs Flint (for now, when Bibarel is higher level we will probably try to switch first turn too) then switch to Bibarel, spam Waterfall, and hope we don't get burned, then let Bibarel die vs Lucian and switch to Bronzong who can hopefully sweep.
Then we die repeatedly against Cynthia with no hope of ever winning.

We need Roserade against bertha because she is getting underleveled compared to the lovers.

Shinx either evolve or get out. You are too immature bro, Flareon is rolling with Bieberel now, the voices don't like you either. Evolve or GTFO!!
Yea you're probably right. But if we really cared about leveling our underleveled pokemon we would switch Golbat to the front and grind him till he can solo Aaron (and possibly evolve) so we can save Flareon for Cynthia, who's a lot more useful against her than Roserade.
Knowing TPP though, they'll keep this strategy going until Flareon and Bibarel hit 100 and then realize they can't beat Cynthia with their 2 greatest weapons against her dead before we even reach her.
