Tortles Posted February 13, 2016 Share #101 Posted February 13, 2016 It was just a example. That isn't the only steel type to know iron defense I want to experiment using binding moves and/or poison. A Contrary ability shuckle raises its defense and special defense when using Shell Smash, at the expense of greatly reducing its offenses and speed. But its damage would come from the damage over time, not it's offensive stats. It may not work out, but I'm curious to see how it plays out, and I thought it might round out a team I'm toying with.

mongi291 Posted February 13, 2016 Share #102 Posted February 13, 2016 I don't really do competitive battling mostly because I just don't want to use the strongest Pokèmon or be berated for my choice otherwise. All my favourites aren't even close to being viable for competitive, mostly because there are other Pokèmon that are better at their job (example: Dunsparce is outclassed by Togekiss and Jirachi).

You're not missing much. I tried going online battling and the only pseudolegendary or higher I had was Tyranitar. -> proceeds to battle nothing but teams full of legendary Pokemon non stop. I haven't met one person online who battled with less than 5 legendary Pokemon yet. It's funny though because I can just imagine their rage when my Aggron ohko's they're Zekrom with a dragon rush lol. Link to comment

Dunsparse is a personal favorite of mine. Along with Smeargle and Shedinja. My other favourites are Barbaracle and Espurr. But on the other hand, I'd be hard pressed to find a Pokèmon I DON'T like. I think the only ones I hate are Rhyperior and Hawlucha. Link to comment

One will be Fire/Ground, one will be Water/Ice, one will be Electric/Flying, one will be Fighting/Dark, one will be Psychic/Fairy, and the last will be Dragon/Steel. They will all also know Transform and be named after the original Power Rangers. It is the best plan. Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted February 25, 2016 Share #109 Posted February 25, 2016 Nintendo Direct Friday 10AM EST. Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon trademarked and expected to be announced. Link to comment
Shoshopu Posted February 25, 2016 Share #110 Posted February 25, 2016 Nintendo Direct Friday 10AM EST. Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon trademarked and expected to be announced. Have they still not said anything about Pokemon Z? I remember them showing all the weird alternate forms of Zygarde and I've heard nothing since (but I'm also admittedly not actively following Pokemon news these days)... Link to comment
Jana Posted February 25, 2016 Share #111 Posted February 25, 2016 aaaaaa I've been working late every day and forgot about the Mew giveaway aaaaaaa I don't play Pokemon super well... Or much at all. But it would've still been nice! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted February 25, 2016 Share #112 Posted February 25, 2016 I expect details for that to emerge in the Direct. I'm unaware of the Zygarde forms, but it could end up being like Deoxys and just be "different" forms. Speculation though, that's all. Link to comment
mongi291 Posted February 26, 2016 Share #113 Posted February 26, 2016 So... Sun and Moon are actually a thing now. Not even a trailer, though. But hey, now we can transfer Gen I Pokèmon to Gen VII. Link to comment
Momo Posted March 3, 2016 Share #114 Posted March 3, 2016 I think they sort of rushed the announcement only because people were revealing Sun and Moon just before that, so they wanted to own up to the name ASAP. I hope to get more info soon though for sure, and I assume they will have some for us considering people now think waiting a year or two for a new main title is reason for ravenous need (I'm not saying I disagree!). Sooooo, two things, I think they will be starting a Celebi event as the next Legendary Anniversary? Also, now until October, you can get the three legendary golems with their special abilities by signing up for Pokemon Bank! (Which I have, but keep forgetting bout T,T) This is an exciting and event filled year from the previous couple of dry years, getting skipped over for giveaways though we are neck and neck in sales for Pokemon with Japan. Ah well, that is the 20 year fan talking, I am gonna go back to being stupidly giddy about a game we have only heard of! Link to comment
13uddy Posted March 3, 2016 Share #115 Posted March 3, 2016 I think they will be starting a Celebi event as the next Legendary Anniversary Already started on the first of the month, runs until the 24th via Nintendo Network (normal internet mystery gift download). I can't wait for next month when they are giving out Jirachi. I'm also super giddy because I got the Virtual Console Pokemon Yellow last night. I thought I was going to have to wait until next month because of med bills (insurance decided to stop paying for one of my meds that I cannot take the generic version of), but someone surprised me with a prepaid eshop card.

Aaron Posted March 3, 2016 Share #116 Posted March 3, 2016 Lol they're giving out Jirachi next month while I have like three in my Pokemon box from wonder trades lmfaoooo Guess it'll be four soon. Link to comment
Momo Posted March 3, 2016 Share #117 Posted March 3, 2016 I am kinda sad that they didn't release Green in english T,T I wanted my Bulbasaur to have a proper home as my starter on his own color game...he deserves that after all these years. Link to comment
Gabineaux Posted March 10, 2016 Share #118 Posted March 10, 2016 So... Sun and Moon are actually a thing now. Not even a trailer, though. But hey, now we can transfer Gen I Pokèmon to Gen VII. WHAT REALLY. SO I CAN HAVE THE OVERPOWERED CLEFABLE I ALWAYS WANTED LEGALLY? Gosh what's the move called, it's an egg move I want to say. Double egg move. Learned as an egg and also involves eating eggs. SOFT BOILED? HARD BOILED? I DON'T KNOW BUT I WANT IT. MMMM. *throws other clefable in the trash* Link to comment
g0ne Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share #119 Posted March 10, 2016 If CoroCoro doesn't have any new information on Pokemon Sun and Moon when it leaks... HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE FOR ANOTHER MONTH WAITING FOR NEW INFO ON THE GAMES?! I want to see the starters so badly... I think this is the most hyped I've ever been for a Pokemon game in ages. Link to comment
Kage Posted May 10, 2016 Share #120 Posted May 10, 2016 So I totally lost track of the Sun and Moon thread. but uh. I want that sunlion looking legendary. And I want both the tree owl and the fire cat Link to comment
ZoktaiKhor Posted May 10, 2016 Share #121 Posted May 10, 2016 If the fire cat isint fire dark imma hurt someone. Link to comment
Momo Posted May 10, 2016 Share #122 Posted May 10, 2016 The new stuff looks awesome I think, very interesting choices this time around! The most interesting is the island setting, a theme that has been done before, but pretty niche to pokemon fandom. Now we get to see a fully realized island experience. The new characters are also adorable, and I am sure we will get to customize, but we know they are going to give us possible even better choices than last time. I like that all the new starters are really different than the starters we have seen before, and they are all very different from each other design wise. Stupidly I want that water seal so bad, in the past buizel has been a favorite of mine, and I feel like this is the design successor to that pokemon! Of the new legendaries, I am always going to choose a bat and a moon over any other thing, now they are together, I can die happy. Link to comment
mongi291 Posted May 10, 2016 Share #123 Posted May 10, 2016 I wanted Pokèmon Moon, but I greatly prefer the Sun legendary (rumor has it its name is Solgaleo), so... Pokèmon Sun it is. Those graphics... Now that's a 3D Pokèmon game. Also Hawaii-like region is nice. Character customization is finally back! \o/ I think I'm in the minority that hates Litten (fire edgy cat) and loves Popplio (funny sea lion). But I want Rowlet (swag grass owl) the most. Also, if you haven't done that already, I recommend seeing the japanese trailer. I almost cried. Link to comment
AekiraSwyfte Posted May 11, 2016 Share #124 Posted May 11, 2016 The trailer is super cute and def sob-worthy. all three of the starters have captured my heart. The game. Takes place. BASICALLY IN HAWAII. AND THE PROTAGS. I'M PLANNING COSPLAYS. I'm already in too deep. Link to comment
