lucky, my venipede appears to kind of suck. Everyone says that this poke' is a "destroyer of worlds" but when I went to go destroy worlds it backfired. Now I'm running around outside pinwheel forest leveling it because that seems to be the only place it stands a chance.

Anybody have any advice?
>> No. 920
>>919

That's because it's still a Venipede, not a Scolipede. Like all bugs it sucks before it evolves, it's just this time when it does reach it's final form (level 30) it becomes very threatening indeed.

Once it reaches level 20 I think it learns Poison Tail and then at 22 it evolves into baleful tire of sulkiness, after which it can handle itself reasonably well. Make sure it knows Poison Point rather than Swarm, otherwise you won't get anything out of the awesome move Venoshock.

Man don't even get me started on that little bastard. Hustle is SUCH a frustrating ability. 4 Fire Punches missed in a row? If it had a neck I would have strangled it a long time ago.

Good point. It's a whirlipede now and does indeed know poison point, so I guess that's a plus. Thanks for the advice.

My boyfriend asked why I hated this pokemon. My only reason is that it looks like an asshole.

Also read the pokedex entry on joltik, 4 inches tall. I awwwed for 5 minutes.

Also shiny tympole finally turned into tittytoad. And dispite it's looks is pretty OP.

Man, can't people just agree to disagree?
I like some of the new Pokemon designs. I dislike most of them. I simply do not like them. Why does anyone even give a fuck?

Pokemon - It's serious business.

I quite enjoy this generation of pokes.
Granted there are some I find outright stupid, but hey, I can say that about every generation.

As much as I agree, the people who hate and complain about the new designs all over are what makes it frustrating.

I might disagree with you on the designs. My trashbag is an op son of a bitch and that's good enough for me.

I know, but I also own cats who don't seem to understand I don't want them standing on my desk and facing away from me and it's poisoned my mind.

It's not about liking or disliking; it's about the fact that most people that DO dislike blindly think GEN 1 IS THE BEST GEN AND HAD THE BEST DESIGNS EVER THE NEW STUFF IS SHIT BY DEFAULT

Hence the "nostalgiafags" in the title :V

Every gen has a good number of shit and awesome in about the same proportions; it just takes a while for a new gen to sink in. Also, once you start actually playing the game, a lot of the designs you once dislike start growing on you. That happened to me with a number of them, especially Scraggy/Scrafty.

That I understand. I'm not going around bitching and moaning about how Pokemon is RUINED FOREVERZ. I have my opinion about the designs and a majority of the new ones just don't appeal to me at all, but at the same time I love the shit out of some. I fully admit that. I personally DO think that the first two gens had the best overall design. I don't go around rubbing that into the face of everyone who plays gen 5 though.

Now excuse me while I heart Wargle because it's among my very favorites now why can't you be in every Pokemon game ever lhasdlsjalsk
>> No. 937
I'm probably going to get ragged on for saying this but there IS a distinctly higher proportion of just flat-out bad designs in Gen 5 than in previous gens. There were lots of bad ones in Gen 4 as well, I said that in the first place. A lot of them toed the line. But the ones in Gen 5 pretty much take a running fucking leap over the line and land six miles beyond it.

It's like the proportion of shit new designs in comparison to good new designs rises every fucking time.

In my opinion.

Not gonna fight you on this one, but like >>930
said, once you start playing the game, some kind of grow on you.

As an example, I wasn't fond of this pokemon until I learned its english name. Now I laugh every time I see it or Trubbish. Also I wasn't into (S)woobat until I got one.

Then again that doesn't exactly change that some of them suck.

It took me maybe 20 pokeballs of various sorts to catch Cobalion. I imagine I would punch it in the face if I could. To be honest they seem to be the only difficult aspect of this game for me.

You have to breed around 1419 eggs to have a 50% chance of getting a shiny with the Masuda method. That's just under an entire 24 hour period of pure breeding and hatcing at a rate of about 1 egg/minute, which obviously doesn't happen.

remember when i caught that shiny roggenrola in a rom back in october or so? i transferred it to my legit white and now it's a boldore

i wish i had someone to trade with aaaaaaahhh shiny gigalith is so badass


also i think it's pretty cool how if the first pokemon of a species you encounter is shiny, the shiny version will be recorded in the pokedex rather than the regular one.

I am new to stats, but during this past generation I've been doing my best to learn about them. I figure one step in the right direction is to ask someone here.

I caught a Deino not too long ago, but am not sure if it's any good or not- I'd provide a picture but my camera is a PoS. I can provide the stats though:

Deino, level 38
HP-90
Atk- 57
Def- 45
Sp.Atk- 53
Sp.Def- 54
Spd- 39

Judging by the stats of my other pokemon, I'm pretty sure these aren't good ones. should I put in the time and effort to make Deino better or go catch a new one?
>> No. 1003
>>1000
Deino has a three-stage evolution, and it's pretty much pure shit until the third stage. If you're willing to train it all the way up to level 65, it'll suddenly become awesome, the pillar of your team. If not, then you can probably tell it to go fuck itself.

Be wary of stat comparisons, though. That's a dark road, and if you choose to go down it, it may end up consuming you.
>> No. 1004
>>1003
I'll be sure to remain wary of that road, then. Thanks for the advice (as well as the head's up)

So I'm working on my Pokemon White team right now, and I realised I need a decent fire-type pokemon (I chose Snivy as a starter), but I really hate the look of Darumaka. It's face just bugs me. I've just arrived at Mistralton City, does anyone know where I can find any nearby wild fire-types?

Also, side note: Current team is Servine, Drilbur, Scolipede, Swoobat, Herdier (Gonna replace him with the fire type) and Panpour.
What 'mon do you all have?

Pic is THE most annoying pokemon of Gen V.
>> No. 1008

Look in Celestial Tower for Litwick (you can't fight the Mistralton gym leader until you go there anyways) and in shaking grass in Pinwheel Forest for Pansear.

A third, if not time-consuming but totally-worth-it option: Get this guy.

It may seem to be weak/a slow learner at first, but if you're looking for long-term results, definitely go with larvesta (you need surf to get to it though)

However, if you're looking for quicker results/faster leveling, I would follow everyone else's advice.
>> No. 1019
>>1007
I got Black and I'm in Driftveil at the moment. My team is currently Servine, Tirtouga, Sigilyph, Darumaka, Sandile and Yamask. I keep swapping it around to try to find the best combination, though, and I don't really like the Darumaka either. The only ones I'm married to are Servine (I always keep my starter on me at all times, it's like a loyalty thing) and Sandile (Krookodile: best name? Best name), and I'm open to suggestions.

Also agreed on that STUPID EMOLGA

And I caught a shiny Trubbish, who is now SITTING IN THE BOX FOREVER
>> No. 1021

I will seriously give you a Zekrom for that Trubbish. Or a Tynamo. Or anything ;_;
>> No. 1022
So Tynamo's supposed to be rare or something, is it?
THEY'RE FUCKING EVERYWHERE IN MY GAME.
>> No. 1023
>>1007 here

I caught a Litwick, which has proceeded to kill everything and become the strongest on my team, but I am so getting a Larvesta once I get the Surf HM.

>>1022 I have like 5 tynamo for some reason. Me and my friends refer to them as "Electric Magikarp"

Also, I now have a SHINY ARCHEN. My first shiny, I'm so haaaaaaaappy!

I agree, not sure who thought a main villain that's an autistic guy who ends up starting pseudo philosophical conversations about using animals would be awesome for a kids game, but at the same time I kind of enjoyed it.

Quagsire is too cute to be considered "derpy", at least in my eyes.

>>1067
Read the post again :V

I think I'll fill the last two slots with Carnivine and Probopass, that latter of which is nearly a perfect counter for Ferrothorn, which is common as fuck these days. Unfortunately, it'd give me a HUGE fighting weakness, so I'm trying to find a way maybe replacing Carnivine and ---- EXEGGCUTOR
>> No. 1074
>>1063
Some ideas: Dunsparce, Shuckle, luvdisc (though I think you're covered on water types), plusile/minun, swalot, volbeat/illumnise, maybe heatmore (it looks like a derp to me).
>> No. 1075

Bibarel's a good HM slave, though.

I only have a Vanillice right now, but if its evos retain its "heal every time it's around hail" ability, it's actually pretty good.

I was considering Swalot, but Garbodor that much derpier and causes much more rage in people.

And a lot of people still use Serene Grace Dunsparce and Prankster/Tail Glow/Baton Pass Volbeat. I WANT to use Moody Bibarel, but apparently, Moody is banned because it MIGHT raise evasion.

They have decent bulk, but the ice typing makes it horrible on the defenses. They're much better as outright special attackers and have the stats for it, similar to many other ice types.
>> No. 1079

Hypno might be a choice. I'm glad you got Garbodor, I'd suggest using my lame as hell move set of Fling (hold black sludge), stockpile, swallow and toxic.

Pretty much just toxic, pile x3, if shit's looking tight then fling or swallow as needed.

Hey. I have a question for all ya'll who play competitive pokemon. I'm making a pokemon character (rough design on the right) who is in part a parody of competitive cliches. However, I know almost nothing about competitive pokemon. So -

What's the most cliche'd competitive team you can think of? I'm talking like, strategy, pokemon types, natures, builds, you name it. Just stuff where you walk into a battle and you're like "goddamn, this shit again?" Legendaries are out of bounds, but puesdo-legendaries are fine. I got a basic team up there, but any information/changes would be great. I could probably also read up on what kind of lingo is used. Since you guys seem to be fairly knowledgeable, anyone willing to help a bro out?
