Exactly lol. The only downside would be a badly timed knock off to the face, that would be boosted AND take the item off. :/ Speaking of which, these items (physical assault vest, fairy booster, hazard ignorer), any particular name for any of them? I guess the physical assault vest could be called battle armor, but then you remember that's also an ability's name.

Talonflame is already immune to all other hazards, so this is kinda cheap. The fact that is cheap doesn't mean that it shouldn't exist, however: many less powerful pokémon, specially low tier bug and ice types, would really appreciate such item. I assume the fairy item would boost by 20% like the rest, but is always worht mentioning just for details. Physical assault vest is a must. Dunno why gamefreak hasn't done that yet.

In my last thread I hinted at people to get this thread going, but nobody did lol. Anyways, what the title says. Get creative and think of an item you'd like to see in pokémon, that doesn't exist already, of course. If you're not sure if your item's effect exists in the canon games already by another item, you can check bulbapedia or wait for someone to point it out. Mine would be.....uh.... damn I didn't think that far ahead..... a thunder orb? you know, like a toxic or flame orb, but that paralyzes you. Risky for guts users, but amazing for quick feet users that aren't electric type. There could also be a confusion orb (spongebob anybody?), a sleep orb, a freeze orb.... Now's your turn

Ceph do you realise that a slow pokémon with this ability and access to at least one of the dig-like moves would be literally untouchable right? I know you intended the ability for mega espeon primarily, but the implications of it in the case of, say, a skill swap, are scary as fuck. Say for example that I skill swap it into a marowak holding a lagging tail: marowak is already slow on its own, but the lagging tail makes it always move last when it uses a move of the same priority as the opponent. Now, it gains the ability to select dig and becomes invulnerable to literally any form of attack or direct damage except earthquake, with a +7 priority charge that prevents even moves like extreme speed from hitting and shuts the lagging tail down as no other move has the same priority bracket. However, when the time to attack comes, marowak's dig will still and always come in last place, as the lagging tail makes everything else on the field move before marowak's dig hits, at the end of the turn. Basically if it wasn't because dig can't hit flying types, EQ will hit underground marowak for double the damage, dig itself has only 10 PP and rare no guard foes can still hit.... this would be literally broken. I still think it is, kinda. When you have to resort to obscure negative priority attacks (vital throw, avalanche, revenge) to hit, then there's a problem. A mon with access to fly in the same circumstances as the marowak above is literally a god, as it cannot be touched by any attack unless it runs out of fly PP (which could always be helped by a teammate with lunar dance), and nothing is immune to the flying type. The opponent has to resort to either toxic stall before the mon acquires the ability (assuming this is a double battle and you skill swapped time paradox into it), or rely on damaging weather, ghost curse, having an excellent wall that can PP stall, or just forfeit. In doubles particularly this would be a nightmare of an ability that would probably get banned depending on what mons get it, as I'm pretty sure some specific partner combinations can win the game by simply leading with them.

A wobbuffet with max HP and special defense. Yep that's me. Can not and will not do shit unless you tackle me first, but the moment you do, you're entering a world of bounced back pain. I'm a one-joke, one-trick character that gets old after a while...however my annoying shadow tagging won't let you go.

Welp, I didn't saw this topic in Vinny's fan club directory, so I guess it's safe. You know we have topics to create your own moves, your own abilities, even I think there's one to create your own items (or there should be...get on it people!)....so....I was curious... if you people were asked about all the moves, abilities and items that are currently canon as of gen VI, is there anything you'd change about them? According to bulbapedia, there are currently 621 pokemon moves, 191 abilities (not counting cacophony, which was never released), and many, MANY items, if you count all TMs that are, were and will be, all berries, all gems, all plates, etc. Among such a great variety, is hard for me to believe than no one among so many pokemon fans has any complain about at least one of them. I'll give you an example: So, I want to know, out of all these 621 moves, 191 abilities and who knows many items, is there any atribute about them you, as a pokemon fan, would change?

Willpower - doubles the pokémon's special attack. A special counterpart of huge power/pure power. Pretty standard. Overwrite - status conditions can be replaced. Basically, a mon with this ability is able to burn a pokemon that is poisoned, replacing the poison status by the burn status. In case someone wonders, no, this is not "the mon gets both poisoned and burned at the same time"; the target goes from being poisoned to burned. Overwrite only affects status moves that inflict status conditions (w-o-w, thunder wave, glare, poison gas, toxic, etc.), but has no effect on attacking moves that cause a status condition as a secondary effect. Also, it will not allow to put a status condition over a target that is naturally immune to it (i.e. you cannot thunderwave a poisoned electric type). Although it can do all that, the ability's main intention is to put huge pressure over tanky mons that rely on rest, since this allows to overwrite their sleep status with, say, poison. Quartz Guard - boosts SpD of a pokémon suffering a status condition. The ability I wanted to start by Q the other day lol, and special counterpart of marvel scale. Basically, SpD goes up by 50% under status. Intented for a rock type. Gunslinger - 50% boost to ball and bomb moves. I was kinda sad that mega launcher only boosted pulse moves, so made this. Ball and bomb moves are the moves the ability bulletproof protects against, so I thought, hey! let's make the opposite of that! The spoiler contains ALL the moves considered ball and bomb by bulbapedia: Intended for a mon obviously related to guns in some way, that would get some but not all of these moves. Wind Vane - boosts speed when hit by a flying-type move. A signature ability for a mon of mine based on a dandelion. Basically it makes the user immune to flying type moves and boosts speed when hit by one. Like motor drive. etc.

And I'm having slow internet today. Cruel world huh? :/

22-HP 27-Atk 18-Def 7-SpA 8-SpD 6-Speed? Seems a bit low for a final evolution o-o

I approve of this.

Hypnotic - if the foe uses a contact move on this pokemon, there's a 20% chance of it getting confused, and a 10% chance of it falling asleep. A "worsened" version of effect spore, in a way. For mons like malamar, hypno, spinda.... if they could have more than 3 abilities. Pride - if the user is statused, its special attack is boosted by 50%. The special counterpart to Guts. I thought a mon that uses special powers would be prideful enough to convince itself into being stronger after the shameful fact the enemy got to burn or poison you in battle. Dunno, something like that. There's also a special version of marvel scale but dunno what to call it yet. It has to start by the letter P or Q, tho. Just because. Light Guard - if the foe uses a special attack on this pokemon, it receives damage, much like iron barbs but for special moves. A pokemon who got this ability would be intended to have bad physical defense so that it would be possible to take it by the physical side to prevent the ability's damage. Swordmaster - powers up cut, blade and slash moves (psycho cut, leaf blade, air slash, etc.) by 50%, much like technician does for moves under 60 bp. Stamina - eliminates recharge turn of moves like hyper beam, rock wrecker, roar of time, etc.. Has no effect on moves like fly or dive however, that's a different kind of move entirely. Intended to be given to a normal type with access to hyper beam and giga impact, so that it can use those powerful moves without recharge, but without being broken, as is still normal type, not super effective on anything, and can't hit ghosts. Solar charge - the pokémon gradually recovers HP in sunlight. Etc.

Well next week is the turn of jericho's mon by popular demand, but the week after that you could announce the thing you're talking about. That wold give you a reason to check on here regularly XD

Lol I like how my interventions in that LONG process of defining this thing were either atributed to Tomas or just overlooked in your spoiler. But yeah, lizargem has suffered for the longest time of confused developers and a bad type matchup via gamefreak who hates the ice type and makes the rock type one of the most frail because all rocks are weak to steel and fighting right? diamonds are not a thing or anything, nope. Disregarding all that, this is a cool mon. It also has quite a few team options that are either resistant or immune to all priority moves that destroy lizargem. In short, this is a mon that can sweep, but needs a team dedicated to it. Once you make it work is lots of fun to watch someone cry at the sound of being destroyed by the spiritual successor of aurorus

Indeed, that's a mathematical vector. Vectorial drawings (which I call just vectors because fuck the police) are made with these vectors, reason why they involve math. Fortunately for me, in practice, all of this math is made in second plane by the program, and I only have to draw :>

Your avatar right now, for example. It is a drawing composed of math and geometry, rather than pencils and colors. A vector is a drawing that can be made as big or as small as one wants without ever getting pixelated, as the size of everything that composes it gets calculated so that proportions are kept no matter what. Very useful to draw stock-able mons.

So....what u sayin' is....that if I make the vector for that mon right now... I can upload it right away, no announcements, no preparations, just the vector so everyone can see....alright, alright, gotcha But can't draw it right now, so yeah.... it is coming tho, next week to this one, if we feelin' pumped about jericho's mon, you're gonna get it. But this week's mon was already decided some days ago, so can't change that :/

200 atk and 140 speed + this ability means this thing can get in, stall on a base of substitute/protect/substitute/protect, reach turn 5, and basically kill anything with a combination of crush grip (is a 121 base power attack when the foe has its full HP, plus it receives STAB, and is regis' signature move) and knock off. It is so fast that the few things faster than it cannot really touch it all that much. Plus, normal type only has a weakness to fighting: remove all the potential fighting sweepers from the other team and you're almost guaranteed a regigigas sweep. I think this mega Regigigas would go to anything goes, together with mega rayquaza. It is an awesome idea but too powerful IMO. EDIT: oh good lord I had forgotten Regigigas does not get protect, well that's a good thing. However it does have confuse ray, thunder wave, and substitute. Using any of those and, well, the fact it has 200 base attack even before its ability activating, it can make time until his 5th turn by just substituting and attacking.

Pokémon se7en ---> Windows 7 Although I really do use windows 7 in my computer and works like a charm. The only next best thing would be XP, but vista, 8, 10....all shitty in comparison, imo. But on-topic again, thanks! I think it is a cute mon, too : D

You know, since we'll be announcing something today, plus the announcement of Platymous of the last week that is still on this same page (110), you'll have two mons to read about without having to scroll down and up much. Cool amirite? Well as you know (probably) I'm zim, and today we're having a mon with a backstory. So sit down and listen. No, there's no other way. Don't scroll down, either. Some of you who played the black 2 and white 2 games from gen V might remember a little something called Pokéstar Studios. I don't, mainly because I've never played the canon games. The thing is, something that always interested me about this Pokéstar Studios thing is that it uses these super cool movie-related props that are pretty much pokémon on their own right: they have types, cries, stats, abilities, all the good stuff. Some of them even had type combinations that were unique at the time: dark/psychic, psychic/electric, dark/ghost with wonder guard and.... normal/steel. This last typing is specially interesting on its own because of two reasons: the 1st, that is part normal, something that is more rare than it might seem at first. Pure normal types are quite abundant but normal/something other than normal/flying are very rare until later generations, where we get things like sawsbuck, pyroar, diggersby and heliolisk. If you don't believe me just go to bulbapedia and check how many of these canon mons are normal/flying. There's like a million of them my god... The 2nd reason, is that the Pokéstar Studios enemy that had this unique normal/steel type was a robot-like creature, named F-00, shown here: Unlike most of the other enemies, who are WAY too human or WAY to weird to be pokemon, F-00 seemed to be different: if someone came and told me Gamefreak had made that into an actual pokémon, I'd be like "well, alright". I mean just look at it. But F-00 never became a pokémon. Kinda sad if you ask me. So what we doin'? we makin' it a pokeymanz. For a long time I had this idea of making a tribute to F-00 in the form of a robot pokémon (which we don't have yet, technically, if you don't count golurk). Naturally I can't just make the actual F-00 into a se7en pokémon because, originality and stuff, so here it is, Robyte, also called "F-00 justice!": Robyte-01, the machine pokémon, is a very, VERY rare NORMAL/STEEL type artificial pokémon, man-made if you preffer, just like Porygon and the recent Magearna. Its origins in Graterras are connected to a still undisclosed, high-ranking scientist of the Cook Corporation. Other than the unique typing, Robyte-01 sadly doesn't get the same stats as its inspiration F-00 (F-00 literally has the same stats as mew, so yeah...), but it does get some neat abilities: Frisk and Motor Drive. The 1st checks what item the foe has; this might seem a shitty ability but in Graterras you sometimes go against things that can run so many sets you'll be thankful to know what item they have. The 2nd makes it immune to electric type attacks, and when hit by one, raises its speed by 1 stage. So with motor drive, Robyte actually has 3 immunities (electric, ghost, poison). Not bad I'd say. Among its non-battle related atributes, Robyte has 700 GB of hardrive memory, 4GB of RAM memory, LED screen, digital clock, a rechargeable lithium battery with ~8 hours of autonomy, an IntelCore CPU, USB port, windows 7 and linux compatibility, internet connection and of course, wi-fi signal reception. So yeah, that was it! Resident robot pokémon, reminding everyone of the existance of F-00 and being an amazing pokémon as well, whose only drawback is basically that mach punch exists. Try to guess what boosting move this thing gets lol.

I vote for either pure steel, steel/electric, steel/psychic or steel/fairy (the later being the most likely IMO). Gamefreak doesn't give two shits about how used a type is already, or how unfitting, or how fans would type things on their place. This is gamefreak, not logic. I'm a sucker for cute so I like magearna despite how overcomplicated or weird it might seem to other people, but the fact it uses the same gear and maid elements as one of my fakemon makes me uneasy around it sometimes.

I haven't agreed more with any post in these forums in my whole time here.

Um, hi, Zim here. Just wanted to say that this particular mon (and specially its evo, and specially specially the female variant) is one of those mons that I consider as a spiritual child of mine. This is a category that only mons not thought by me but drawn by me and that I have a special love for can enter. Andetle's evo and a few other mons are there. So yeah just wanted to say that. Also dunno what the max damage this thing can do is, but I can assure you it is VERY.DAMN.POWERFUL. After using the move that is not dragon dance that is. It wrecks. So many. Things. But don't worry these other mons balance it and stuff. Also, if Jericho is reading, your mon has not been forgotten. In fact you might hear from it very very SOONTM
