    Pokemon OCD

    in Pokémon Fan Club

    Posted

    We all have our OCDs playing Pokemon, at least I hope we all do, otherwise I'd be the weird one so I thought this would be a fun topic. What is your Pokémon OCD?

     

    For example, I have several:

    • By the end of the E4, all my mons must be properly trained and bred with the best possible natures. This includes the HM slaves at times because I am crazy Doesn't matter how easy the game is, perfection is a necessity (this does spoil the game for me in a sense because breeding takes hours and hours of time off your life and you tend to completely immerse yourself in this not caring about the outside world)
    • Whenever I face a gym leader or important NPC, I must stand and look at him/her so that the avatar covers up the part of the background that is symmetrical: for example in this picture:images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQCk_FXrL71ytEos4nNl6jNot from below, that triggers me greatly
    • My boxes of Pokémon must be arranged neatly and ordered in some specific format. For example "HM Slaves" for Zigzagoons and Rattattas, "Shiny" for shinies. (You can't even imagine the level of stress I had when I had a shiny Zigzagoon when I first played Reborn)
    • This level of OCD eventually leads me to not want to play because of the lack of naturality so RIP entire run of completely bred Pokémon (this is why, never trust me if I make a new topic for a run)

    I could go on and on about this, but I'd rather not have the reputation of a freak.

    So, how weird are the rest of you? What necessities do you have when you play a Pokémon game, be it a hack, run, or official game?

    Unpopular Character Opinions

    I don't understand the hate for Titania. Sure she's murdery and her methods may be unconventional and wrong, but her long-term intentions are honest and true. I find her a very complex character

    Spoiler

    as depicted with her fairytale theme in the latest episode

     and that is one of the most attractive things for me. Her gradual change in attitude towards us (although she is still pretty aggressive) is what strengthens her likability. Mistakes are inherent in human nature and it's committing them and learning from them that makes us develop as a person.

     

    That or I'm beginning to lack empathy... I hope not.

    Revived Pokemon during double battle

    Yeah, I've encountered the invisibility error as well. Unfortunately for me, it was the enemy Pokemon that was being sent out at that point and had a nickname, so I had no clue what it was. I should mention this was in the community release, though, and I haven't encountered anything like that in the updated version.

     

    Did you update your game to the stable release? V17.1?

    Reborn Team (E18)

    So I was working on a project that I had to do for school this year and the ensuing boredom propelled me to procrastinate, because hey, that's how we get on with life, innit? Anyways, I've always liked having something to document and show off my collection of super fighting monsters that I've given extensive care to, but it always came to an abrupt ending: especially with my grass dark monotype runs, the last of which didn't even last to the second gym. You may think that documenting this may result in a similar conclusion, however there is one difference that makes all the difference: I have a new laptop.

     

    So with that being said, here I am taking a huge risk and not adhering to superstitions (yay me!) and showing off my prized assortment of adorableness:

     

    At Tanzan Cove (just fled from Connal and the Meteors, and I'm supposed to go medicine-hunting, but as a master procrastinator, that can clearly wait), my team is:

    Of the above, Serperior and Meowstic-F are perfectly bred and (almost completely) EV trained. Arcanine is a stand-in for now, while I am training up my EV bred Growlithe (process speeded up a lot thanks to @Ainz Ooal Gown)

    Waiting for Flare Blitz and Outrage before evolving...

     

    Sandile and Yanma still need breeding. (As do the others in my PC, but genderless and non-field breeding is a fudging pain genderless more so)

     

    The game has been fairly easy so far, with the exception of Solaris, although I defeated him on my second try thanks to Intimidate stalling and Levitate holders, coupled with Leech Seed and Poison. I think right now I need some Normal, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, and Ice typing. Will soon add an Umbreon, Swanna and Sawsbuck to my roster.

     

    PS: Really sorry if I'm creating too many of these threads. Does this annoy anyone? Not my intention, hope you understand

     

    Purpose of this thread? For you to marvel at my fantastic team leadership skills, stand agape at my ridiculously overpowered mons, bow in superiority to my intellect, and hail me as the one true PokeMaster. Just kidding. I'd love your insights to what is good and what is bad on my team, and I've realized the joy of sharing here. Criticism, hate "go get a life" comments, dislikes + jokes at my expense are welcome because really, all I want is some attention

     

    But really, movesets and team member suggestions are appreciated (please no Gardevoirs and Magnezones, I beg you)

    @splargle mate you should say kudos to yourself for having the courage to show your face here despite your insecurities. I have a lot of friends way more attractive than I am and are constantly selfaware and depressed, so self-consciousness has nothing to do with looks. Looks are something inherited, nothing you can do about it. Well sure you can put on some makeup but there's a limit to what you can do with it, right? Anyways, what I'm saying is looks are nothing that you can be judged by - it's what you do with it that makes all the difference. I for one would rather someone be hygienic and clean over being extremely attractive. My ex-gf was very pretty but hideously unkempt, and trust me, that is much more of a turnoff.

     

    I really hope I don't come off as cheesy o.O

     

    Of course looks matter to an extent, I'm guilty of being superficial and am attracted first to good looking people, but they may not be the best people relationship-wise

     

    Anyways I hope you guys didn't throw up as much as I did writing this post. Good day to y'all

    my standards are decently low compared, at least I think.

    1 - she's gotta wanna date me (big one right there)

    2 - she's gotta be a nice person

    3 - she's gotta have some humor

    4 (most important one) - she's gotta accept me for who I am.

    Why wouldn't anyone want to date you dude

    You're such a lovable bro

     

    And I think those are quite great rules, provided accepting who you are doesn't mean you're unwilling to change the negatives about yourself. You'll get there man :D

    I don't know if I'm supposed to create a new thread for this, but can anyone trade me a female Growlithe w/ Close Combat with preferably good IVs? If need be, I have a couple good HP Fire IV bred Snivys and an IV bred female Espur to trade away (or a crappy Growlithe w/ Morning Sun which I want to get rid of :P)

    The glare set looks good. Hopefully, that'd turn off to be a viable and reliable set in Reborn and may assist you a lot during tough battles.

    Alright, I'll take your advice. I was wondering whether I should settle with Giga Drain for longevity or Glare for set up opportunities.

    Anyways Dragon Pulse is late game stuff, so I'll have both for now :P

    (Time for another 10+ hrs of IV breeding again :/)

    I have a 5IV one as well, but I'm at work. If you're on in, say, 5-6 hours I can trade you one if you don't have one already.

     

    Breeding is a ducking pain. I was working on my perfect HP Fire Snivy and just got it last night but realized it has 30 IV in defense... Now I'm really feeling the need to rebreed for a 31 IV in defense one (it took me 10-15 hrs of game time, less IRL because game was speeded up). OCD over 9000

     

    This characteristic of perfectionism will be the death of me...

    Breeding Guide / Recommendable Sets

    So I'm right now breeding my perfect Snivy, gotten down to 4 IVs (getting that HP fire is tricky) and I was wondering: what's the best/most advisable set my Serperior can have for a Reborn playthrough? I have a couple things in mind:

     

    Serperior @ Leftovers
    Trait: Contrary
    EVs: 248 HP / 4 SDef / 4 Def/ 252 Spd
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Giga Drain
    - Synthesis
    - Leaf Storm
    - Leech Seed

     

    But I feel this won't be very effective since Reborn E17 has an awful habit of switching a Pokémon every time I use a stat reducing or status inflicting effect. I leech seed Talonflame at full health, and it immediately switches into something else that would do much less damage. I get this is the AI being smarter and is able to guess these kinds of moves, but having this makes me feel that any sort of status move is a wasted slot: Leech Seed, Acid Spray, Taunt, Confuse Ray, etc.

     

    Serperior @ Leftovers
    Trait: Contrary
    EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Giga Drain
    - Hidden Power Fire
    - Leaf Storm
    - Leech Seed

     

    Or

     

    Serperior @ Leftovers
    Trait: Contrary
    EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Dragon Pulse
    - Hidden Power Fire
    - Leaf Storm
    - Glare

     

    Or should I attempt more uncommon things like a Dragon Tail phazer w/ some physical attack investment, coupled with Taunt and Leaf Storm? Would it be viable and effective? 

     

    Appreciate all answers!
