General chat: Who needs mspaf anyway

I have a team as of... Whenever it was that Air gave me a Bilbadaur. Bulbasaur. Weird typo. Thought I'd keep it. It's not fully functional though; I wanna swap out Excadrill for Donphan but can't until Bank opens because only pre-bank Donphan can learn Stealth Rock. It has a serious Dragonite weakness, after that I think it's relatively balanced. What did you think, Hanky?

And Octi, the tiers are *relatively* settled. Aside from a few odd things like Aeroblast Tornadus and Destiny Bond Aegislash, which haven't had the time to come to the fore yet, the new toy vibe is steadily wearing down.  Check out the pokebank list for Novemeber's stats on usage.

Edit: Blaziken, Gengarite and Kangaskhanite, as well as the new infinite battle clause, have been out for a while. Lucarionite is in suspect but will likely not be quickbanned. Tornadus T, Landorus I and Genesect plus some others also suspect yet surprisingly low in usage. Could be new toy syndrome or maybe people just don't like battling with old things that are probably broken? Genesect won't last long. Neither will all of the Deoxys formes, count on it.

I think you testing your team out on my in-game, non EV trained, non TM optimized, noncompetitive team is probably a moot point.

Ooh, there's something I want to see. And maybe when I master my spiffy new Sandstorm team I'll ask you for a rematch.

it's angular momentum

i was hard pressed to find a good reason to use any angular equations for my pokemon nicknames, and dusclops is the closest.  i guess because its body has all these circles around it?  and like when you pull on a mummy's cloth, it spins around really fast?  idk

Plus it shoots a bunch of orbs or something. At least, it did in Ranger, and obviously everything that happens there is canon in the main games.

Well pfft sure I guess which is why I didn't mention the 6-0. THAT would have been a moot point. But you could still get an idea of balance based on switches.
Which reminds me.

Apparently Venusaur is likely S-rank. TAKE THAT YOU NOOBY CHARIZARD LOVERS
6 GENS LATER AND STILL CAN'T TOUCH THAT
GET BACK TO KANTO
NEENEr neener?

Meanwhile, Blastoise considers his stock options over a cup of decaf.

Maybe he forgot he had bread in the toaster.

Idk.

no way, he just doesn't want to deal with a golurk with boosted attack and speed, especially since he caused the boost in attack. considering that this all goes perfectly with its nickname, it's the ultimate troll move

that username.....


cringe

not your username, jello.

any username with "dark," "shadow," "zero," "chaos," etc. makes me cringe as well

so i guess that i should change my username from chaos0dark0shadow000 then?

Heheheh SparkXStatueOfLiberty OTP

Hahaha. I'm like an hour away from NYC. I'd visit, but that would be A.) creepy, and B.) difficult, not least because I can't drive yet.

gela, imma try and be online most of the day today. ambush me for your trade whenever.

New York's got a lot of cool stuff to go see! Just keep in mind that it's going to be very cold.

oh yeah it's going to be cold as shit

like hell frozen over

Sure will be fun so :/ but then I'm okay with cold, what with, ummm, not being Brazilian. Sorry Spark!

Do you think they still sell Mudkip plushes in the Nintendo world store? I hope so. Where else would one find them otherwise. (Not on the internet)
