And least with Wifi we can use either GTS or trading with someone from /vp/ to get it early.

It's exciting evolving it knowing it likes you though. I already had a Crobat when I saw it though. It was my first play through of SS on emulator, not nuzlocke, trying to emulate my team from the first play through. I caught Entei randomly too, paralyzed and threw a Great Ball without hurting it and it was caught. I should have ditched Ninetails for it but grinding up the points for the firestone was a bitch. This is my team before Red, still can't beat him at this point.

>trying to emulate my team from the first play through.
by that I meant emulating my team from my childhood playthrough of Silver.

Enjoy getting swept online? Get with the program. You can do a pokemon in like 20 mins if you acquire a 6IV ditto, just beg and suck cock for one and you're set. Then, get dittos of all necessary natures, especially timid, modest, jolly, and adamant. Then get an everstone and destiny know. Mix it all together and you have perfect bio-engineered KO machines.

People like you ruined pokemon
>>26432296
People like me managed to create an entire new game experience for mature players out of a game a ten year old can complete in a week and put down forever. You're telling me you play these children's RPGs for the plot?

Don't worry though you'll come around eventually after nuzlockes start to bore you.

Is injecting still a thing?
>>26432388
heh
>>26431586
I just get annoyed that I have to breed it for it's first stage.
>>26432392
Fuck no, injecting is for queers.
>>26432388
Not my fault you're getting destroyed online by someone who cares enough about his pokemon to put more than half an hour of training into them.
Just so you know, you don't need high tier pokemon to do good. Just use your favorites, but EV train them. My team runs like Swampert, Gengar, Arcanine, Sylveon, Scrafty, and Vanilluxe
>>26432441
So it's still a thing. Does that mean you spend 20 minutes per pokemon on something people who inject do in seconds?
>catch lowest form
>it instantly evolves after next level
>>26432454
Well yeah. I breed genetically perfect Pokemon to win battles. Shouldn't I feel like I earned the win through hard work? I may be a competitive autist, but at least everything I do to win is completely legitimate and honest.
>>26432478
A competitive autist is still a competitive autist, and shitting on anyone that doesn't give a shit about competitive makes you an asshole and no better than injectors.
Grow up.
>>26432478
Being born with autism is a sin, faggot
Nothing you do can redeem yourself
>>26432483
I'm not shitting on anyone, I'm stating that people shouldn't be mad when they get fucked up online by people who put more care into the game.
>>26432486
This isn't the kind of place where one would try to "redeem" himself. I know I'm not in that position.
>>26432571
>people who put more care into the game.
Are you talking about the who inject their pokemon or the people who waste 20 minutes to do the same thing?
>>26432462
>DexNav in a nutshell
>>26432588
The time wasters obviously.
It's been fun arguing with you, but I gotta get up for work in 4 hours. Good night buddy

Anyway, this thread clearly seems to be about bro-mons you run for fun in-game. Or are you gonna tell me you're actually so autistic, you breed and EV train even your playthrough team?
>>26433003
>Farm Heart Scale
>Have friend
>Trade back and forward
SHIT'S DONE.
If you have a Pokebro, this is quicker and easier than having to level a mon. You can have a Kingdra as soon as you have a Seadra.
