How do you battle against someone who does not subscribe to smogon? I feel that I am good at the meta as it has been laid out by smogon but it doesn't seem to be the case against random people who don't follow suit.
I think the same mons and strategies get used so much that you only feel like you're any good because you know how to deal with them already. What if you were up against a good player who uses any mon and stat spread/move set they want?
Do you have teams that could win outside of the constraints of the tiers? Could you beat an ubers...

Which is why i think random is a beter gauge on how adaptive a player is. Note i said adaptive, not skilled.
>>25608477
>Play AG
>git gud
You should take more in mind the strengths of your team than the rival's team.
>>25608502
I don't see the difference. Care to explain?
>but but muh strategy
Fuck strategy now that I can spam Fire Blast and Focus Blast I dont have plan shit at all, stall would be completely nonexistent in this meta as well.
Evasion moves become fair play.
>>25608449
All pokemon now have double team instead of stat changing moves.
>>25608467
Evasion is banned.
Also 120 BP moves are so strong that on most sweepers you dont even need to spam stat boosting moves that can be cancelled out by any phasing move like Roar/Whirlwinnd/Dragon Tail/Circle Throw.
Alright, post current gen 1 teams, progress, nuzlocke hurdles if applicable.

Just beat Lt. Surge, about to do Rock Tunnel w/out Flash because that's how I did it as a kid since I was to stupid to know where Flash was. Also I'm only using Pikachu and the starters on my first run because I'm mimicking how I played as a kid as best I can. Next run through I'll for sure box Pikachu because he's shit,...

I'm pretty certain I didn't even know about catching Mankey on that side route when I was a kid, which was a shame since I loved Primape in the anime. I'm pretty certain Butterfree was my go to for a while, until Dugtrio came along.
I was wondering which ver. of the Gen 1 games should I play Red/Blue or Yellow?
it's still never been PROVEN that cactowl isn't real
It's not real cuz I created it! :)
>>25608420
proof it
The game releasing proved it was fake, dumbass.
That's the logic these fake leaks go by. Stop being a cunt.

>tfw beat Lt. Surge and don't know where to go now
I FORGOT HOW HARD THIS GAME IS
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Rock Tunnel but make sure no matter what that you don't go through Diglett's Cave to receive a certain HM. That's easy mode.

There is plenty of walkthroughs online

>is weak to Conkeldurr
>>25607752
Except it isn't. Mandibuzz has good bulk and can easily tank a few hits from Conkeldurr. Meanwhile Honchkrow has shit defenses.

>>25607752
>is a terrible design that only faggots like
>>25607834
But Honchkrow outspeeds Machamp and OHKOs with Brave Bird.
So, /vp/, what kind of person are you?
fedora, edgelord of the moon
Triple K Mafia
>>25607683
It will totally depend on the critter on the cover
I got a froakie in wondertrade with a protean ability during oras.
while in oras, can i bread it and get more froakies with protean ability now?
>>25607434
Depends- is it a female? Do you have a Pokemon from the same egg group to breed it with?
it doesn't reproduce asexually so no
yes you can
>>25607798
it doesn't need to be female to pass on it's ability
Post 10/10, high quality tracks that give you the most nostalgia for previous games.

This doesn't give me nostalgia, but it's really good c:
I'm replaying through Pearl right now
So i'll def be reminded of some nostalgia!

But Pikachu are extra special

This is either an actual child posting on /vp/ or the most subtle troll post I've seen in a while.
Either way, go die
I'm wondering what IS really /vp/'s ideal Pokemon game.
In this uninterested market analysis we're basically doing for Game Freak we imagine we're in a brainstorm for the next pair of games.
- Each anon puts a feature he would like and another feature he woudn't like to see in official games.
- Dubs allow you to remove one feature an anon had said.
>Evil team makes frequent appearances in the story, performs evil plan just before the player passes through Victory Road, comes at them with full force using six Pokemon and held items. After their defeat, player is congratulated, then placed back in front of the Elite 4.
>The exact opposite of that, where the team comes in after the seventh gym and fights you with an incomplete, half-assed team of poison types and stuff.
>>25606979
So kind of like Black and White 2?
>>25607000
Yeah. Though now that I think about it, the legendary encounter and the villain plot should be before the eighth gym, but then they come back right when you're just about to enter the door to the Elite Four, as a surprise. That's when you really get to fight them, using all sorts of strong teams.

>>25606675

You're kidding, right?
>>25606696
He's only not a shitmon in RB due to the cheese in game mechanics of Gen 1.
