Well I fixed issues with updates on my old 3DS and so now have picked up my virtual console Pokemon Blue. Evolving some to get Exp.All. Currently with me:

>Lv.39 Venusaur
>Lv38 Jolteon
>Lv.37 Nidoqueen
>Lv.36 Fearow
>Lv.24 Meowth
>Lv.8 Paras

>be bored and slightly drunk so fire up pokemon showdown on a whim
>haven't so much as looked at a progymon game in 4+ years
>have no knowledge of current metagame or even what new pokemon there are
>fuck it recreate rough aprox of my old gen V team and wade into OU with my dick swinging wide

Its going pretty well so far on the one hand I don't know what half the things I'm fighting are but on the other its like these kids have never seen basic shit like subtox heatran. Currently sitting at 1400ish gonna see how high I can get before I'm too drunk to keep going.

I haven't had my phone or game boy for the past few months, but i am back in business!

Working on clearing Silph Co. and leveling up Mankey and Charmeleon, I'm just a few levels away from evolving both.

Anyone play gsc on the vc for the 3ds? JW because I have some mons I wanna trade to evolve

>>229322
I do, but I'm just starting a new full time job. I'm on PST, probably will be available from like...8pm-10pm until Saturday. Let me know if that works and I can help you evolve your dudes.

Anyone try that research feature they just introduced in Pogo? I caught a Moltres with it. I heard you can get Mew too.

>>229302
Yeah.

>>229303
I got an 84% moltres, but so far I've only gotten one Zapdos since I started working again.

Got a <90% gastly, machop, and abra the other day.

>>229319
Cool, I got 3 Moltres all in the low 80s, I'm not positive but I think the IV is better if you don't skip days on the research, I missed quite a few days on Moltres but with my last Zapdos I only missed 1 day and it was 89%. Just my two cents.

>>229319
Also if you didn't know always pineapp the mons you get from research quest, they have 0% flee rate.

>>229271
Oh, and one more thing.
Politoed, Politoed, Swablu Swablu Seedot.

That was amazing.

Thanks for sharing, dude.

lol, took me a minute since i dont listen to justin beiber or... the radio...

>>229298

>>229298
I had no idea it was a rip off of a Bieber song.

>>229085
You are doing what you love as a living. It sucks for us but this us being mildy put out versus you living your fucking dreams here.

Hopefully you'll keep busy.

>>225440
this is awesome OP
might I make a suggestion? If you ever illustrate a 'mon using Bide, make it something strong and bulky that would be easily to imagine would go all crazy-strong with pain constantly being inflicted, give the 'mon nasty, mean angular eyes and illustrate it as an unstoppable, bloodlust-driven, sadistic animal

the way you give emotion to your drwaings is stellar, from one artist to another! i wanna see more cool battles (Poliwrath is next to Poliwhirl in my heart, im looking forward to the next pages eagerly!!)

>>229304

>give the 'mon nasty, mean angular eyes and illustrate it as an unstoppable, bloodlust-driven, sadistic animal

>>229304
It pains me to say it, but I think the ship has sailed on us ever getting another page of Stir Frenzy.

I read the comics but I think I was high. I don't remember them.

Only autists or people who use the global link complete it, but don't bother to level them up.

I was never a dex completionist myself, but the lack of a National dex in Alola bugs me too.

I liked registering the Pokémon I had caught over the years and even if it wasn't a complete dex, it had a certain unique element to it because it was Pokémon I had seen and captured; my journey if you will.

Also Rotom was pretty annoying. I miss the robotic Dexter voice of the anime....

I fucking hate RotomDex so much. In my Ultrasun he never shuts the fuck up. "Hey here is some advice you never asked for!" Every time I change screens. Fuck off, I just want the map!

That, Factory Head Shitting is Morgan the Magnificent Mountain Man, he spent seven years of his life training to be the rock that holds the Pokemon in place with his solid, rock hard fighting type strategy.

He even has a hardcore wrestling career outside of pokes, and he posts to /woo/ like a cool boy would.

That’s cosmog’s grandpa, pokebeanman

This thread is scandalous.

nb because OP is drunk and Puddin Pop Bicycle was a shit tier Pokèmon.

>>227177
puddin pop bicycle is right up in the anything goes tier now

POKEYMAN IS THE DEVIL!

Them's weird typos, son.

Yeah, I still play kinda. Doing some tests on showdown when I have free time.

Hoping the new Pokemon games come out on the switch.

Also, I miss all of you fuckers. #po

I'm going to ireland this summer so I'm gonna get loskene to fulfill his blood oath and get me stoned, hope to see danny too

SM meta sucks
I'm eternally the king of LC
I need pokemon on the switch

>>229292
Wait. What?

Who is you?

Loskene is an irish potato jolly african-american.

>>229266

>falls under

No. The others embody things. They don't "fall under". Moltres and Entei aren't "sort of fits into fire" they ARE FIRE. They are just fire in animal form. Even Genesect is a cyborg abomination it's just not just the product of technology but it's defined by it.

Perhaps Mewtwo represents humanity though. I mean that's what defined mewtwo.

I subscribe to the theory that pokemon are advanced military bioweapons from an ancient war which littered the planet with them.
But there's also an implication that the "trainer journey" kids go on is a somewhat fictional construct. Kids set out thinking they're gonna be the best or whatever, but actually receive a philosophical education on the duality of existence, or something. But it's a fundamental part of the way the post-war civilisation has rebuilt itself and a vital coming-of-age process, so it's an accepted part of their culture that adults don't interfere with these kids' worldview, and instead basically roleplay whenever kids are around. What I mean is, groups like Team Rocket are essentially actors who are LARPing as antagonists. Ten-year-olds do not literally fight the mafia.

Thing is, that's a reflection of the role the games play in reality: Pokemon is a game that you buy for your ten year old.

So there's a narrative symmetry which is integrated into the design of the games, and I think that's deliberate based on what I've heard about the design philosophy. It's a lot like how every Metal Gear game is canonically a virtual reality programme being played by some "jack" who represents the player themselves. My point is, this enforces narrative constraints: something can only really be canon if it can work dualistically.

So the "Legendaries" must be a fucking lie. They're creatures based on legends, sure, but they're created by man just like Mewtwo because ~~they're all man's creations because it's a gameboy game~~

In the manga, mewtwo regards Blaine as his brother, since he used his own DNA in the creation of Mewtwo when he was working for Team Rocket. Mewtwo wasn't just created by humans, he's a human-pokemon hybrid

11/10 one of the best posts i have ever read on an imageboard in 10+ years

>>229239
Maybe if they did a remix: new gyms, routes, starting town, new pokemon, actual story etc.

And starting with a pikachu that can't evolve would just suck tbh. Being able to choose any of the electric rodent pokemon might be cool though.

>>229245
That'd be awesome actually. they should totally make a game like that, almost like the pokemon ranger or mystery dungeon games except more like an old school RPG. You could control your partner pokemon as well as your human trainer, who would be able to use items like pokeballs or potions to provide assistance, maybe even level up and discover unique classes/skills. I wouldn't mind having a pikachu the whole game if you could customize it into a more unique companion

>>229248
I could totally go for that... making the pokemon more useful than just using them for fighting, CUTting trees, STRENGTHing rocks SURFing water and so on. Some finer bonding/friendship mechanics could make it a really good tool for learning new abilities, random loot and more...

what would really rock, though, would be another proper console addition. We have really good cel-shaded 3d graphics, we have the powerful hardware and we have the ability to cram at least four or five regions and a few thousand 'mons onto a disc with neato open-world mechanics.

think of it... a new Yellow Version, not for the handheld, but one that looks like the cartoon on a proper big screen..

10 year old me yould have peed his pants if he saw that... at 30 that still hasn't changed

>>229239
I want a pokemon that adds, variable starting difficulties, that way it isn't so easy if I'm still playing pokemon when I'm an adult (I am). I'd also enjoy an emphasis on player choice in story. Specifically, I want the option to focus on a specific type or characteristic and receive recognition in the game for it. I want to be able to ultimately start a pokemon gym based around a specific type and battle new trainers as the end-game, but I also want to be acknowledged for not choosing a single type if I don't do that.

But really, I just want to glorify my team of bird pokemon.

>>229254
Did you ever play pokemon Colloseum or XD? Something like that visually with more content and options would be ideal, I think. Also, remember when you could have your pokemon following you around in HG/SS? yeah, they should bring that back

>>229273
long ago I thought it would be great if you had a little more freedom with how you pursue the gym challenge- i felt like all gym leaders should have three "ranks", the first being "amateur" (3 pokemon max, lvl 1-20) the second being "novice" (4 pkmn max, level 20-40) and "professional" (6max, lvl 40+). The premise being that all gym leaders would have teams for each tier to accept challengers of different experience levels. Defeat two gyms at amateur level and you advance to novice, defeat 5 gyms at novice and you go pro, and if you defeat all 8 gyms on PRO rank, you become ranked "expert" and can challenge the Elite 4. But basically once you rank expert you get more character and post-game options, among them being maintaining your own gym (probably something of a 'bonus' gym, like the karate dojo or trick house) and would be able to set teams for each ranking as well as customize those of your gym trainers, the puzzle layout, etc, similar to a hidden base. Maybe even set up environmental effects for battles. That would be easier to do on a hack of previous gen now tho, since it's gone full 3D.
I was checking out a thing for a pokemon tabletop I saw on here a while ago, it seemed a little impractical in places but it was a good rough setup, one of the things it went into was more distinct player classes you could get into based on your playstyle, which provided various benefits to the player. Type specialist was one of the player classes available, and it looked interesting in that they all got bonuses based on what type they specialized in. I could see the various achievements for character class being used to unlock stuff like outfits and accessories and possibly access more class-specific items and equipment.
