jo_lo29 3 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hey fellas, thought i'd introduce myself here quickly. i'm 19 and from New Zealand, and the first Pokemon game I played was Blue, which my brother gave to me when FR/LG came out. Ever since I have been in love with Beedrill and Bug types for no particular reason at all, and admittedly its strange to like them in Gen 1 when they were near useless I mostly only play on consoles and rarely play on PC, the obvious exception being Reborn. Favourite games of all time have to be; - Bloodborne - Medabots RPG for GBA - Pokemon Gold/Silver - The Witcher 3 - Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne Hope to stick around least until after Reborn is completed, and spout nonsense about Mega Beedrill and how he is ultimately the best pokemon, and should see more competitive use Cheers, Josh Link to post Share on other sites
Autumn Zephyr 434 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Bug: a Type that gradually gained relevance through the Generations, culminating in becoming the preferred Type of a brutal crime boss to significantly greater effect than the the "Bug Specialist" that somehow managed to achieve E4 status in Sinnoh. Or, at least, that's what I hear. Anyway, welcome to this buzzingly peculiar land we call the Reborn Evolved Forums! Be sure to read up on the rules, feel free to check out all we have to offer, and, above all else, enjoy your stay! Trash Cloak Wormadam buff when, Game Freak? Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot about Aaron! but his mons are too weak to be considered difficult, what he needed was a mega beedrill to sweep your team Link to post Share on other sites
Autumn Zephyr 434 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I mean, drapion and heracross aren't bad (though the former's a big cheat), but dustox and pre-Quiver Dance beautifly just aren't E4 material by any stretch of the imagination. Having two pokemon with the exact same Type combination (Bug/Flying, shared between beautifly and vespiquen) doesn't help his case either, even if they do have different roles on his team. Besides, the rest of that League was plenty difficult without Megas, especially in the originals- two Fire Types doesn't make you a Fire specialist, Flint! Really, Aaron was a terrible first look for what's to come... Link to post Share on other sites

Autumn Zephyr 434 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Not just any drifblim, mind- one that has absolutely nothing to do with Fire because the species wouldn't get Heat Wave until Platinum, or Flare Boost until BW! It's there to counter Ground Types, which trample over his actual Fires. Oh, you already know he has it and brought a Ghost of your own? He has a Normal Type to counter that! Okay, so it shares rapidash's weakness to Rock attacks, maybe that'll work? Nope! He's got a steelix. Add in the fact that infernape is actually a really good pokemon (itwas even OU back in the day), and you've got yourself the makings of the real gatekeeper of the Elite 4! Like, Aaron and Bertha I was fine with having wildcards in comparison, seeing as the former's Drapion most likely was a Bug Type when he got it, and the latter's sudowoodo at least shared both of the most commonly exploited weaknesses in-game with her actual Type. But Flint's actually somewhat balanced type spread, with only two pokes of his purported specialty? That was some Grade A nonsense! Let's not forget that DP's level curve spikes tremendously after the events at the Spear Pillar, to the point where my team is usually lower leveled than the wild pokemon in Victory Road when I get there, and that trend continues throughout the entirety of the gauntlet! Basically, DP's Elite four consists of a pathetically easy Bug user, followed by Sand Stream: the Battle (R.I.P. Potions), followed by OH DEAR LORD ARCEUS WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!, then Lucian's annoying bronzong (the rest of the team barely matters, though that girafarig did manage to screw me over once), and then you finally go up against what is widely considered to be the strongest Champion in the series, who would be very likely to tear your pathetic casual team limb from limb even if it weren't already horribly bloodied by the battles that came before! All whilst being underleveled from the get-go, and watching helplessly as the gap between your team's might and the opponents' rapidly increases based off of that one number alone. It's quite the challenge, but dang if finally getting through it doesn't feel amazing! Link to post Share on other sites

Aessence 15 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 hey there, welcome to Reborn! And I must agree with you, M-Beedrill IS one of the coolest megas. I actually enjoy other bug pokémons such as Vivillon (compound eyes ftw), but I like the category in general. Since when I was little, with my first GameBoy in hand, I like Caterpie. Dunno why, maybe just because he was so frail and I had the urge to protect him and make him evolve so that he could be stronger. Well then, welcome again onboard, enjoy your stay here!
