Des Teto

Where do you learn that she had a lvl70 Absol? Also, it doesn't make sense. As the Champion, her main team is level 100. No doubt about that.

More realistic than sarcastic. And as a entertainer, he just doesn't have the time to explore every corner of the game. And don't get me wrong. This guy is good at Pokemon. He adapts very well to overcome tough situations. Adding to this his reactions and his infinite imagination makes him fun to watch! Despite not being into Let's Play at all (it just bores me), I'm still enjoying the show. He clearly recorded the two episodes in a row. He just couldn't have saved in a middle of dialogue. Too bad for Saphira's revenge.

No worries. No one can find 7 stickers on his own in his first playthrough. If he doesn't take the time to train a proper team, he won't bother to do hard side-quests.

Ttar uploading faster that people commenting this thread. I skipped most of part 1 and started from season 2. It's much more enjoyable without the nuzlocke part.

FYI the suspect test has begun! Players will vote whether or not Dynamax should be banned. This thread explains everything and more: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/np-ss-ou-suspect-process-round-1-boom-boom-pow.3657265/

Dynamax is about to get banned from 6v6 Smogon. At least, some changes were made in prevision of the potential future ban. I learned the hard way today that Choice items were disabled once you pokemon were dynamaxed. In my case, I discovered this new feature with my Scarf-Ditto versus a Shell Smashed Blastoise (It was randbats, eveything hardcoded into the game is implemented there. Shell Smash Blastoise is not available yet). I dynamaxed my Ditto but the Blastoise was faster. It was a speed-tie. If you didn't know, if you had for instance a Choice Scarf, you can switch moves but the Speed Boost is removed. Dynamax is ruling the OU metagame as we speak. There are currently 6 pokemons played in 30% of every team: Dragapult, Ferrothorn, Ditto, G-Darmanitan, Excadrill and Corviknight who can abuse it while being strong in other roles. Thanks to Dynamax and Choice items shenanigans, when G-Darmanitan was locked on a Ice-move, if the opponent sent Ferrothorn, G-Darmanitan dynamaxed, used Dynamax-Flare Blitz and won. And it's just one of many cases. Corviknight is literally immortal once it has set up with Bulk Up and Max-Airstream. If you want a more detailed opinion, there is ABR's below, a respected top-player:

It takes 5 minutes but anyway. You sure need to know what to do. Let's say the game summons a Sprite Set #1 there is no garanty that it will summon the Sprite Set #4 by updating the versions. If the files are not replaced, it will need a dev to find the code line that summons a specific sprite set chosen by the player in the beginning. I am not sure about the term 'summon'. I don't know IT english ^^ it's good food for thought tho.

I think you can simply switch the sprites by editing the file names in the adequate folder. I made a custom character once and I just replaced every sprites (including the surf and the bike ones). Copy your V12 folder and try this method on this second folder so that you won't break anything. As for the gender issue, you need to reach for a RPG maker enthusiam or a dev since it's a hardcoded thing.

I think more criterias should be added in this tier list definition. First: avaibility. I mean. It's obvious Blaziken is the best starter. It has good early-game and has his best moveset once it has evolved (with Heart scales). For instance, Serperior needs level 60 for Leaf Storm and Gren needs Neo-Reborn for move tutors. Second is double battles. Gren is very bad in double battles being very frail. Other pokemons such as Incineroar and Swampert are very good at them tho. Last but not least, the way you play the game. Do you use items? Do you play on Set mode? I mean, there is nothing wrong with that. It just changes drastically the performance of the different pokemons. Bulky pokemons tends to perform better. I think it's important because it allows situations that wouldn't occur otherwise. Every K.O gives you a free-switch on your Blaziken against a useless foe. Then you can have a free Bulk Up and sweep. You can even recover with Hyper Potions endlessly if you need to. I insist on Set Mode because without it, it's like your opponent do nothing for 6 turns. He just waits casually for being killed by the adequate pokemon you sent during you free turn... while he would have striked you 6 times during your switches. In this case, it's important to be bulky. Pokemons in C and D tiers would be far more determinent in your runs (and Gren would be mid-tier imo).

The real question that matters to me is 'is there enough of them?' I wish there were a second one. Because it's a nice addition.

So, it goes like this: There are impossible legal monotype runs such as Rock, Ice and Dragon for example because there are few mons available before mid-game. Feel free to check this thread, aka the bible when it comes to monotype runs. But don't if you'd rather play blind. I would say that Grass is a hard type at the beginning due to the amount of Poison foes. I've tried Fairy a long time ago but it gets easier after the third gym but I won't recommend it because you need to know the game in details. Other option: choose your type randomly. Then, improvise, adapt, overcome. From what I've seen, every run is fun because you have to work with pokemons you would never have used in other circumstances.

I liked the map design both from graphics and gaming aspects. Each area is open and there is a lot to see and to explore. While going from South to North in the first Region, I could almost feel I needed a jacket or a coat. Also, some battles in Intense mode such as Marianette made me scratch my head a lot. That Holy Field - Magical Seed - Cosmic Power - Baton Passer speedy Lopunny who always chose Toucannon was evil. But I have only four badges. I guess there is more to come ^^ I'll post again if I change my mind.

So, you want a presentation about pokemon basic mechanics ? I think you will find a clear explanation in some websites such as Bulbapedia. There are articles about everything you asked, just look it up! But if you manage to finish the game without knowing all that, I think you will understand everything easily. I tried to explain each point myself but I realized I always missed important things. I can try to answer more specifics questions later if you have some.

Oops. I was going to suggest you a passive weather core with Drizzle and Drought abilities. Without it, it will be very hard to set up the rainbow field in less than three turns. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but with Pledge moves, the Rainbow Field will last 5 turns while with weather, it can last 8. As for your team, something with Serene Grace could be broken in this field.

1. It just the way that critical hits work. A crit gets past defensive stats boosts. Go Bulbapedia for more details. 2. Pallosand has Energy Ball, Shadow Ball, Shore Up and Amnesia. So, against your Cacturne, Shadow Ball is the best choice. 2.bis Amnesia boosts Sp.Att too in this field since it works with Gen1 mechanics. So, when Pallosand was at +2/+4/+6 and it just assumed that Giga Drain was enough to K.O. Jynx, which worked apparently.

Your last move could be Roost or Giga Drain ... but in Reborn double battles consider the mighty HEATWAVE. The only good HP is HP Ground but it's for Heatran so no need. There is Psychic too but it's only useful against Toxapex ... There is Hurricane too if you use rain. Nah, run Heatwave, it's good. As for EV training, the fastest way I know is to fight in this first area in the Underground Railnet. There are only Noibat and Woobat who give you Speed. Run the item that gives you Sp.Att EV (Power Lens) and then switch to the one that gives you Speed. Every battle will be useful.

Can't wait to fight Santa Claus again. But yeah, if they can find a way to make things less tedious, it could be as refreshing as these new graphics. There are a lot of fedex quests that I won't do again.

How do you feel about climate change?

I like watching him react to everything story-wise but even more battle-wise every time something odd occurs. He knows how to adapt to though situations. I wonder how far we will go at this pace. Taka's Chatot is a threat to his team and frightens me. Like a lot.

Well, despite being called the 'lung of the world', this assessment is not true. Rainforests are by definition not growing anymore and therefore do not trap carbon dioxyd anymore. Grown trees (and mature forests) consume as much oxygen as they produce since photosynthesis and respiration compensate one another. There are plenty reasons to worry though, hence my comment. For instance, this forest is a biodiversity treasure and 24 millions people live in the brazilian part ... there will be a shortage of food supplies for them. This fire seems to come from deforestation as countries needs always more space for cattle farming.

Hello! Welcome to the forum! I haven't played it yet but maybe Spork could be consisered as cute.

I don't know if you guys remember their first playthrough but I used to get bodied at every boss battle. The fact that we can get past challenges is only because we know their teams and can come up with a proper gameplan. I think this guy is good at pokemon because despise being in easy mode (the game feels so different with a blaziken), he is making his way step by step. Even if he loses, he would offer a entertaining show by playing the game with teambuilding like we all did.

This guy is a delight to watch. And he has made right choices every time. For a first blind playthrough, he is good at this game. I hope there will be fanarts of Gulpin's battle versus Tangrowth. He was lucky to have the perfect counter but he deserved it.
