Oo now that's a tactic I hadn't tried...is training a 3rd whimsicott overkill? Not sure which team I'd use it on though :hmmmm:

It's actually an old Battle Tower trick, and it fails if the AI switches out, but at the very least you cripple one Pokemon and you can spam +1 Priority Flash/Charm on the next to keep Whimsicott alive. It's pretty situational, so I guess it's only really been used in the Battle Subway. And no, that's not overkill - EV training a Gen I team cause you're bored is overkill... :s-smilie:

On that note, this Pokesoc needs moar active members - I don't care if it's a Saturday night and you have 'lives', I'm bored :colonhash:

Aye, sort of playing on the weakness of the AI, in that it can't really make decisions for things like that :laugh:

You using actual gen 1 or fr/lg? The latter I could play all day...the former's just too grainy for me now :colondollar:

I've been spoilt by modern graphics

And we have loads more than we used to :p:

This talk of new members makes me feel a bit sad, the pokemon forum I moderate on has well and truly turned into a ghost town :ashamed2:

On the plus side, managed to drag my rating back up into the top ten on the Smogon server, won't be long until I'm top 3 (hopefully!) [=

I mean making up a team of Gen I Pokemon on White :tongue:

I get what you mean about the graphics, but in the opposite way - I can handle the old black and white graphics of Red and Blue, but the good-but-not-that-good graphics of Ruby and Sapphire is just a bit...weird...

And you wouldn't know it, you might as well rename the Pokesoc 'R.J. Omega's Addiction To Pokemon Thread' :colonhash:

It's going great, I reckon this is the best generation of Pokemon yet, although I think the general opinion is that HeartGold/SoulSilver are the best games :rolleyes:

I haven't watched any Pokemon series in YEARS.

Fuuuuuuuu
Got back to number 4 on the ladder, get some ridiculous hax and end up getting beaten by a bloody lapras, and get knocked back down to number 9. Work my way back up to number 4 again, then Draco Meteor misses twice in a row and I lose to a roserade :|

Firstly if anyone wants a battle on one of the servers I'm now free :smile:

I will need an explanation of how to do it all though, never successfully managed to have a battle due to my dimness :nothing:

set pokemon to lvl 100 but not sure if 50's more normal? :erm:

Oh awesome :p:

is it wrong that I think that sounds like a fun idea? :erm:

I like ruby & sapphire graphics...simple but not too glitchy :o:

About a year ago it should have been 'skipp's addiction to pokemon thread' :colonhash:

Search back far enough and there are instances of me talking to myself about pokemon, because there was no one to reply :emo:

Sad times, although hopefully interest there will fluctuate like it does here & the number of members will go back up :yep:

And awesome :woo:

see the top 3's still evading you though :p:

I shall take you up on that offer skipp :tongue:

usually on PO the teams are set to 100, unless there's a particular tier (Challenge Cup) or strategy (Level 1 Sturdy Aron w/ Endeavor) you want to use.

The sad thing is, I already have been talking to myself with my 'notes' :facepalm2:

Quick rundown of mine & RJ's battle, RJ used his steel team & I went for breloom/flygon/tentacruel/skarmory/reuniclus & originally weavile, later mamo. RJ kicked my ass leaving the final score at 10000000000000000000 - 2 :p:

I'm now quite afraid of metagross

Oh stop it you :tongue:

it was 8-2, but my god that Flygon was a pain in the arse. Also, we didn't have Sleep Clause on at the start, so for the first 6 matches Breloom managed to Spore 3 of my Pokemon at a time :laugh:

But yeah, Rain Dance + Air Balloon on Metagross = no weaknesses. Be afraid children, be very afraid :colone:

I like celeby.

Is sleep clause standard now then? Things have moved on since I last played against human beings who live more than 100m from me :o:

might make me have to rethink my strategy

It's a game with many layers, so depending on how you play it can be more adult-orientated or more child-friendly. Anything new is potentially good though, so if they did make a game targeted at adults I'd buy it in an instant :yep:
