Growing up in the era of Red/Blue, Mewtwo was THE true final boss of pokemon. Even the elite four was all a test, for Mewtwo. So I'm really glad they've always tried to keep Mewtwo extremely strong.

DICKS EVERYWHERE

In terms of actual playing power mewtwo is always going to be a top tier monster. The benchmark for badass. Massive special attack, good speed and good movepool. Mewtwo just murders.

Mewtwo X is pretty mediocre but Y basically adds more speed, more attack power and sleep immunity so it's basically everything good about mewtwo and now it can't be prankster slept by smeargle.

It's entirely fitting for the perfectly designed battling monster to have such a good stat spread for the role it fills as an attacker and because it's legendary it still has enough defense combined with it's typing that few things can one shot it without setup. It might not be truely legendary in lore terms but in power terms it's in the top tier the ones which are banned by default in every format on global link.

When they let legendaries into competitive the meta was basically power herb Xerneas though because geomancy power herbs are just disgusting. I was ready to compete that season but couldn't be fucked to grind a play X to soft reset a perfect Xerneas just to be competitive though.

I use my mewtwo, Dillinger, who has perfect IVs except in HP and attack and timid nature to take out darkrais in triple battles in 6th gen stuff. I just have him know psystrike, aura sphere, flamethrower and shadowball for good coverage. I know he's vulnerable to sucker punch. Might take off flamethrower and give him barrier for that.

I love my mewtwo but I ended up using my deoxys for xerneas problems at that time. everybody assumes it's a pure special attacker and then BAM poison jab to the face.

I drew a dragonite smoking a blunt in my journal. I tried really hard but with the slight proportion differences, it came out looking like Chris-Chan drew it. And I felt sad.

>>229081
But have you ever played Pokemon... on.. weeeeeeed

>>229134
yes I have actually. Played Blue going through Mt Moon. I felt guilty after a while so I released all but my starter pokmeon. Was pretty boring tbh

>>229134
Every single gen except I and II, which I played sober. I can't afford anything after gen V though, so those don't count.

>>229134
Yes and they were good times

>When did you first discover pokemon?

1997. I was absorbed into the original pokemon craze as a kid with Red version. It was the first video game I had ever completed by myself. I was completely obsessed with Pokemon ever since.


>What were your first games?
I was given Red version first then I got my hands on Blue and eventually Yellow.


>What is your favorite game?
My favorite game in the series is Emerald. Emerald was the game that opened my eyes to real competitive battling and breeding. Emerald was the game that taught me how to beat all of my friends at pokemon. Most of my favorite pokemon come from generation 3 as well. Everything about Emerald was amazing, it had the perfect curve for teaching new players how to play pokemon, and with the frontier at the end, it shined at challenging players to learn competitive battling in order to complete it.

>What kind of trainer are you?
Breeder. I love breeding competitive quality pokemon. It's an activity that I can do that doesn't require a lot of thinking, good time waster. Plus I enjoy putting in the effort and time to breed good natured perfect competitive pokemon. Building teams for my friends and myself, it's just really fun to me. I do like competitive battling, but breeding pokemon is more relaxing.

>What does your game collection look like? red, blue, yellow, silver twice. Also going to add pinball and trading card game.

>>229109
Soul Silver is a great game, but fuck them for putting that their aggressive DRM in it.

>>What kind of trainer are you
>The winning kind....ya, I don't know how to correctly answer that.

Maybe read some of the replies. Good job beating a kid's game. That really defines your playstyle.

>I don't know how to play Rom hacks.

This is like saying

>I don't know how to play PC games

Let me make up for my being such a douche bag by sharing the wisdom of using a computer.

1. emuparadise website
   
2. download an emulator (Visual Boy Advance for gen 3 and Desmume for gen 4 and 5)

why did I think that was a close up picture of the arms on the chest of a mantis shrimp?

You know the ones that bend the weird way and helped evolve raptorial appendages from them?

When I first saw it in the show, I thought it was a new Gen II mon.

I find that hard to believe. Ratatta and snorlax.

>>229123
I have to be honest. If they took IVs out of pokemon it wouldn't change much but EVs are part of the depth of the game and if you can't understand or access them now it's because you're dumb. I mean IVs take less time and are easier to do than ever before but it's still a time sink but if they ever removed EVs they'd take a massive chunk of the competitive game out for something you can now just set to auto train and come back and it's done.

>>229125
Thanks for clearing this up.

IVs=grinding
EVs=choices for pokemon builds

>>229127
I think there's a few builds where you WANT bad IVs in one stat, like with special attackers so they don't get fucked by swagger as bad. but overall I'd be cool with it if IVs were either axed or simplified. they made sense before, different wild pokemon having different capabilities made sense to me. but once hackers started making 6iv teams that dominated tournaments, and then nintendo added in proper IV breeding in gen 6, it seemed like it wasn't serving a purpose beyond grinding. I like the concept of egg moves and passing down the pokeball they were caught in though.

I'm high what trainer am I right now?

>>229131
nice I'm a galactic boss now.

You leave /1701/ out of this you.

>We don't get to pick our starter in real life

In all likelihood, OP's autism was caused by exposure to glyphosphate or the IVing of ultra high doses of mercury and formaldehyde straight to his brain as a young child. So it would be more accurate to say

>We shouldn't feed our dedicated special attackers 50 proteins

>>229108

>Some of us get dunsparce

C'mon, man. There's no need for that kind of language.

>>229121
I love /1701/ but the spergs is where it draws its strength from. Most of them have learned to cope socially. OP has high functioning autism but if he applies himself he can still be a lot happier than he is. I think he's smart enough to develop an adequete coping mechanism.

Also there was one study, it was retracted and don't you dare fucking "Big Pharma" it, because the study was funded by a law firm looking to drum up business so THERE is your corporate interest.

>>229126
One study for what?

>>229128
If you don't know what I'm talking about it doesn't matter. it doesn't really anyway
