>>25686961
This is the correct way to do it. Right when X/Y came out, I knew I wanted to train a Bergmite because it was cute as fuck and evolved into Avalugg, which would make a nice tank against the computer opponents, so I asked a kind anon who got it a few days early to breed me an egg and trade it over, hatched it and ran with it. I made a point to catch an Emolga as soon as possible too because I love that little fucker. Had two of my favorites right from the start. It's really fun to do this since it gives you a chance to run with pokemon you wouldn't otherwise have access to earlier on, or at all.

I'm not too sure why, but I don't really care about most Pokemon those are naturally found in clothes. Not because I hate the designs or anything, I just don't really want to use them. I think the only one I really used was Gardevoir, not because I'm sexually into it but because that STAB Psychic and Moonblast were pretty nice. Leavanny's design and concept are kinda cute though.

I could never see myself use a Mr. Mime or any of the Genies though.

It seems like this is the case for most of the Gen IV cross evos. I remember vividly in game playthroughs I would want to use something like Yanmega, Mismagius, Weavile, etc. and you just can't get them until after the E4 or after picking up a rare item. It's terrible. Same thing with Scizor, Electivire, Magmortar, basically anything that evolves while traded holding a rare item.

Fuck those Gen IV cross evo's just for being so god damn hard to use in a playthrough.

>>25701353
I played all games of gen 1 bar green and while you are correct that Submission is the highest STAB for Machamp, he is not completely limited to that move to make use of his base attack. Earthquake and Mega Kick existed. Counter was another option. He also has better defenses over the two

>Earthquake and Mega Kick for Machamp
you could easily used someone for Stab in those moves, and Machamp only have 55 base speed, so there's no reason to use Machamp in those games
>>25701430
psychic was the OP type in Gen 1

sorry kid, but the OP psychic type and only Stab Submission makes Fighting a shit type in Gen 1
Don't blame me, blame GF

nobody was questioning fighting types were shit in Gen 1 but the fact remains that both hitmons still were outclassed in that gen despite lee having a higher STAB. chan's elemental punches were shit because they're backed by 35 special. Nice goalpost change because the discussion was about specific fighting type choices and somehow it became the type in general. And everybody knows Psychic was way OP in Gen 1. Why do you keep saying these things? Just to make yourself feel superior?

TOP.FUCKING.KEK
it's true. you never played gen 1. HJK power was 85 in those games and hitmonlee attack is 120
anon, stop saying things that I could reply with: "you have no idea what are you talking about"
>change because the discussion
the only thing I said was: many kids in Gen 1 wanted to use hitmonchan because of elementel punchs. By the first time that someone play, almost no one knew how physical/special split works, specially in gen 1, so people liked hitmonchan because of that
after the first time you tried, you realized that is shit, but you needed the first time

say whatever you want, you never played gen 1
>>
>>25701731
>HJK power was 85 in those games and hitmonlee attack is 120
uhh yeah and Submission has 80. HJK HAS higher STAB. Unless you think STAB applies to base attack, then....okay
>>
>>25701731
Hitmonlee does have the better fighting move, you idiot
>>
>>25701731
Lmao you're the one who has no idea you're talking about. 85 base damage > 80 base damage with or without STAB calculation on both sides
>>
sure, base attack it's not needed for damage calculation, then... okay

also, you said back there that Counter was an option. Counter in RBY only works for Normal and Fighting types, and like you could see, there's no reason to Fighting moves in Gen 1 and you only use normal attacks by those who have Stab for it (aka normal-type pokemon). And if you're facing a Normal type opponent with Machamp, even submission is better

tl;dr go play Red/Blue

Base attack comes in on damage calculation but STAB is independent from base attack. You don't even know this but you claim other people haven't played R/B

>130 atk > 120 atk
First you claim Machamp is a bad choice because despite it having 130 base damage, it has the worse fighting move (see >>25700895). Note that along the discussion, you have been using STAB as a main counterpoint when (1) not only did you not know STAB is calculated from the actual move's base damage and NOT from the pokemon's base attack, (2) you kept insisting Machamp was garbage

now you're claiming Machamp is better because 130 base attack > 120 base attack. Logic and coherence aren't your strongest suit, are they?

>>25701997
the focus of the discussion at first was STAB since you were dismissing Machamp's base attack dragged down by poor STAB and now you're doing a 180

no, I claimed that fighting-types were shit in Gen 1 (see:>>25701536)

>no, I claimed that fighting-types were shit in Gen 1
and like I said, nobody disputed that. the point of contention is whether chan or lee was better (see >>25688610), and i answered champ (in >>25688639), NOT if fighting types were good or not in Gen 1. Completely different premises.

no

Normal type was the best type in Gen 1

That's because your point was off tangent with what was being discussed to begin with. Even among shit starters people discuss which one is the more shit or the less shit. Stop dipping in conversations where your argument is irrelevant and then getting angry about it fucktard

Your opinion about the fighting types in general was unwarranted. They just wanted to discuss burgers
>>
>>25702158
It's largely debatable. The good normal types were ridiculously broken, but there were also a lot of shitty ones. Nearly every Psychic type was good (I think Hypno and Mr. Mime were the only two who weren't completely broken).
>>
Ah but which one would have better dps? 120 atk, 85 bp, 90% acc hitmonlee hjk or 130 atk, 80 bp, 80% acc machamp submission?

It's pretty hard to deny that Tauros is the best non-uber Pokemon in the generation though.

I've never used the early normal types like Rattata, Sentret, Zigzagoon for very long and usually before they get a chance to evolve. This also applies to early bug types too.

Over the years I've actually neglected to use most grass pokemon, starters included (I've alternated between fire and water). Notable exceptions that I can think of are Venusaur from my run through LeafGreen and Vileplume with my recent run of Red version

Also I find I don't really use pokemon that don't evolve for whatever reason

Hitmonchan makes me sad. I used one in the Kanto classic and netted lots of unexpected late game sweeps.

Just reminds me of the shitty power creep in the series. I wish megas were actually used for the purpose of making older and unuaed mons relevant rather than give already powerful mons more broken tools.
