Be honest, do you prefer Origins/ORAS/BW2/ specials over the main anime?
The ORAS and BW2 specials are still like the anime, just... without Ash.
I prefer Origins to the anime though.
not over XY
>ORAS/BW2 specials
They're 5 min commercials. Even if you hate the anime, why would you?
At least Origins is a 2 hour one, I'll give you that.

Could be better desu
why is there no phyiscal variant of Hidden power yet? why should only special sweepers have access to make use of 4x weaknesses easily
pic unrelated
>>24595161
They'd be redundant thanks to Elemental punches and fangs, mostly.
>>24595161
It would be pretty shitty with so much Intimidate around, and making it higher in BP would break it.
>>24595161
hidden power is balanced
theres only one or two usable ones for each pokemon, and half the time the low BP means a STAB attack will do more than a super effective HP. So basically it has no use outside of 4x weaknesses.
Most fighting types have a broader range of types in their movepool.
Imagine Gen 7 pulls a Gen 3 on us and you can't transfer any Pokemon from the previous generations on to your game.
Gamefreak's official excuse is that they're rebooting the series in order to create a balanced game. And in order to do this, they'll mess with the movepool, stats and abilities of every Pokemon.
How would you react? Would you be furious at the thought of not being able to transfer your bros over? Would you not care because you'd probably be able to inject them in anyway? Would you like the promise of a semi-balanced meta?
I wouldn't care because I usually don't transfer anything but events.
As long as I can complete my pokédex in the current gen, I'm good. A fresh start is always the best.
>>24595156
So did you like Gen 3, anon?
>>24595209
Still my second favorite, yes.
I never liked transferring my mons up, especially since I still play the older games.
Maybe if I knew beforehand the my battery would die out, I would've been more concerned, but what's done is done.
ITT: suggest ideas for the next gen games to make the use of exp share viable
Make it the exp all and make the exp share a held item like it used to be.
A) actually balance the fucking game around it
B) give me the regular old exp share before beating the game and the new one after
Let you turn it off and on.
Oh wait you can.
These are the 2 best Character encounter themes in any of the games.

You've been put in charge of GEN VII.
Stat names of the games and how many details you want. Be creative vp.
Please no bullies

Can't believe people were actually getting excited about that leak. It seems so silly now, but back then there was something so interesting about it.
Pokémon Frank and Earnest.
Takes place in a virtual simulator, lots of digimon references.

How to progress in PTCGO, tl;dr edition:
>complete all Trainer Challenges
>unlock all locked cards in the three theme decks you're given at the start
>farm Versus Mode theme ladder for Tokens and Tournament Tickets
>enter theme tournaments with tickets and earn tradeable packs and tournament chests (XY Basic Blue strongly recommended)
>DON'T OPEN THEM
>use the Trade section to trade the packs and chests for the shit you need
>if you don't know what deck you want to build yet, see http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/forum/tcg-competitive-play.156/ for a list of viable decks or ask here
Your physical cards probably aren't worth shit, but check sites like Trollandtoad, eBay and TCGplayer for the shinier ones to see if you can make a decent 5-10 bucks off them before you ask in the thread. We don't have the prices memorized for every single card.
To see what your PTCGO stuff is worth, look on the PTCGO forums in the trading section. For example, Top Cut Trading inc
>http://forums.pokemontcg.com/topic/25163-the-top-cut-trading-inc-2/
Pack codes are worth about 15-30 cents while other codes are worth around a dollar or two.
Remember that if you're doing a TCGO code dump, post them as images and block off the QR codes. This prevents scumbags from scooping up the entire lot with client's QR reader or, in the case of typed codes, copypasting all of them onto the redemption page for themselves. DO NOT put text codes in a pastebin and remove the last character from them just because it's easier for you if you're dumping codes, scumbags have access to scripts that can easily find the missing letter/number.

Meh
Anyone else find it hard to ditch the Fire/Water/Grass trio core in their teams? If I do a playthrough without one of them in my team I feel empty.
>>24594920
I never use fire, fighting and flying are way better. I only use water for surf also.
I usually find myself using Fire,Water, and Grass..I've been doing it for the longest.
I rarely use grass, pretty worthless typing.

That's why you get a pokemon with this ability:

Fuck off
why does no one talk about these underrated gems?
Because it's literally Red and Green with improved graphics and the Sevii islands.
Nothing to talk about. Best remakes, but everyone's played them at this point.

ITT: give a pokemon a move it deserves via anatomy, something stated in their pokedex entry, or theme.
Does it still suck?
>Crab Hammer
>>24594391
Still sucks, but a fun niche.
But Parasect isn't a crab and doesn't really have any crab-like features thematically or anything.
Heal Pulse would make more sense.
Mewtwo needs Close Combat.
>"pokemon is for little kids, nerd!"

Anyone dealt with those types of people?
Middle school must be hard these days.

What the fuck kind of year and/or place are you living in, anon? Anrgy birds hasn't been relevant in the mobile market for years

Get out and come back once you're 18.
ITT: Things that will save pokemon
I don't think it's that big of a deal.
A lot of people draw "fusions" of themselves + their favorite pokemon.

You mean things that will kill Pokémon.

ITT: we post and request recolor of shiny 'mons, improving them.
Pictured: a better looking Xard.
Wow, that looks... a lot worse.
You really missed the point of Charizard-X's colour scheme.

Doing a shit job/10ow the edge
>>24594191
I, ah... didn't make this one.
I'm stuck on mobile for a while, so I found the first recolor i could get my hands on.
