Let's Play! Pokemon Liquid Crystal: Tag team edition

So, for those who don't know what this is, Liquid Crystal is a hack of Pokemon Fire Red to, well, be a Crystal remake. Really, if you don't know what that means, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong Let's Play.

^Those are the people y'all show be thanking for this.

This run's going to be a bit special, as should be indicated by the thread title - this is going to be Co-op mode Pokemon! (Yeah. I know, right?) Joining me in this epic quest is going to be my good friend, 3-I. We'll be switching back and forth, playing separate but parallel runs, and offering commentary on each other's updates.

3-I says: This system has the particular advantage of ensuring there will always be at least ONE snarky bastard in every update.

And so, with that, let's dive in!

Oooooh- SHINY!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_04.png

Shiny, shiny, shiny.

Link...and...Zelda? I thought this was Pokemon...?

3-I says: Greatest. Crossover. Ever.

Oh. Wait. There we go! The classic battle that will be retold through the ages - Gengar versus Nidorino. Truely, there was never a more fearsome rivalry.

3-I says: Scyther and Electabuzz? Seviper and Zangoose? Sunkern and being remotely useful? Practically BEST FRIENDS compared to these two bastards.

NIDORINO USED OPEN MOUTH! THE ATTACK MISSED!

3-I says: Gengar! This hand of yours is burning red!

(Oh, man. I'm on the edge of my seat here!)

Go Nidorino! Use Takedown!

3-I says: Nidorino's attack missed! Nidorino kept going and hit the player!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_63.png

Wait... wait! Where'd the background go?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_69.png

Crap. I got hit so hard MY COLOR VISION IS GONE. THE WORLD IS NOTHING BUT A BLACK AND WHITE PARODY OF WHAT IT USED TO BE. WOE IS ME FOR NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SA- Isn't that Suicune?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_84.png

It is! =D <3 =D I WANT I WANT I WANT

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_90.png

*blink* *blinkblink* THE POWER OF WANT LETS ME SEE! I CAN SEE... I! CAN! FIGHT!

3-I says: And yet no matter how bad *I* want it, we won't end up at a screen where we can stretch Suicune's face like in Super Mario 64. Screw it, just press start.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_94.png

... Oh boy.

Yeah, nothing you WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT BY PLAYING THE GORRAM GAME (Honestly, I loathed this part of FR/LG - the fact that the game assumed you were a slobbering idiot... No offense to any slobbering idiots out there.)

3-I says: I think the intent on the part of the creators was that this could be the first Pokemon game or RPG that people ever played. That's okay by me. And when you think about it, the Pokemon games have gotten a lot more complicated, and a lot of things were really never explained in the games. Stuff like the type matchup chart. Once we actually get into gameplay, the L and R buttons don't seem to take us into tutorial mode, so this is probably the last we'll see of it.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_100.png

Hey - I know you!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_103.png

Waiting? Dude, I just got here.

Oh, right. And thank you for inviting me... or something?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_104.png

Yeah, I know. You're on TV and radio all the time. You're a freakin' celebrity.

OMG THERE'S POKEMON!

Oh, okay, that's a little harsh. It's just, Oak, you do this speech every. single. time. I've heard it how many times over the years? But, I guess you must be getting paid to say it or something, so I won't begrudge you.

3-I says: YIPPY! n_n It is the cutest and also the most badass and amazi- Wait, does that mean Professor Oak is Roxy (http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Crystal/)?

Blahblahblah mysteries. Woo~ooo~ooo~ooo!

3-I says: Unsolved mysteries of the Pokeworld: Where did Pokemon come from? The moon?
Seph: And don't forget the greatest mystery of all - Where do Pokemon eggs come from?

Wait. Waitwaitwait. WHERE DID THE POKEBALL GO. OAK DON'T DENY IT YOU WERE HOLDING A POKEBALL AT FIRST WHERE DID IT GO?

Eh. Probably back to his lab or his box on Bill's PC. I mean, it's not like the 7th Pokemon you have with you doesn't do that automatically; it only makes sense that there'd be a manual way to do it - AND THAT ONLY BILL AND OAK KNOW ABOUT.

Um. Dude. Just look at me. Clearly, I'm a...

(Okay. PEOPLE DECIDE! F/M? Also, give me suggestions for the starter - I have my preference, but I wanna hear which one's used the least.)

3-I says: I'm going to be doing a parallel run of this game, so go ahead and pick for me as well. (Considering we're allegedly working the same game, I'll take whatever starter SephlidJam and our Rival don't pick.)

As response isn't exactly overwhelming yet, (and as technical issues are cropping up), let's talk a little more about what we're getting into.

Pokémon Liquid Crystal began as a one-person project in 2007 by Linkandzelda. As its popularity started to grow, he brought on Synyster_Zeikku as Co-Owner of the hack. Having gone through 4-5 years of solid development, the hack is nearing completion, and boasts not only a complete Johto map, but a variety of other features new to or changed from the original Gen 3.



Brand new remastered GSC maps
Remixes of Johto, Kanto and Orange Islands music
New battle music for Rivals
Physical/Special Class Split for moves
Raised Pokémon levels for increased difficulty
Redone move-sets for Rivals and Gym Leaders
Extra in-game trades for obtaining new Pokémon
New OWs for Gym Leaders & more
Day & Night Music - more in the future!
Loads more new areas to explore
Vast addition of new Pokémon & Trainer sprites
Real time Day & Night!
Enhanced weather system with seasonal weather changes
Brand new move tutors
Open ocean to explore
New scripts, events and secrets to discover
New Rivals and other extra battles.
A new berry system, allowing people to grow their own berries.
New places and area's to roam and discover.
New music.
Johto worldmap.
Travel to the Orange Islands.
"Sliding Panels" - Ruins of Alph Puzzle.
D/P/P Fonts and Textbox.
Custom Battle Scenario.


I'm not even clear on what some of that stuff is.

The hack seems on some level to be a spiritual counterpart to Pokémon Shiny Gold, a hack which I have not played. (Maybe SephlidJam has some insight there.) And let me tell you, this game looks FANTASTIC. Here, take a look:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff1.png
New tilesets!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff2.png
Trees!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff3.png
Clean, antiseptic Pokémon centers! (With no trade centers in them? :smallconfused:)

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff4.png
Pokemart signs!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff5.png
Ledges that look like ledges! (No, not all the ledges look like this. But hey, that thing's as tall as Gold. Makes sense that you can't climb it!)

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff6.png
New sprites! Purple battle windows! Sadly, no start-of-battle animations for enemy 'Mons, but hey, that's a small thing.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff7.png
:smalleek: Is that a Pidgeot?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff8.png
An updated map! :smalltongue: Ignore Red's head there. But don't ignore the Pokegear borders!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff9.png
Weather Patterns!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/ShowinOff10.png
Days of the week!

So yeah, a lot to look forward to.

Liquid Crystal is the winner of the Pkmnhackersonline.com and pkmnboard.com 2008 Annual Hack Award, and (I think) the Pokecommunity Hack of the Year award for Best Gameplay, as well as second place in the Most Engaging Hack and Best Scripting categories and a few other awards.

Currently (for the last year, if I'm not mistaken,) the hack is in version 3.1. It's also in what the creator terms a "Live Beta," sort of like how Minecraft has started releasing weekly snapshots. As far as I can tell, Kanto and Johto are completed, and the Orange Islands, postgame content, are at least partly completed. (And have their own gyms.) There's no word on the existence of a Battle Frontier, but that's fine by me because IV-training LPs are painful to watch and I don't want to do them.

Now, as to the run: Seph and I are most likely going to be updating AT LEAST once weekly. Granted, there's two of us doing parallel runs, so we're probably going to be updating more often than that.

We're going to try to spare you from watching the same dungeon or part of the game more than once, and, inasmuch as possible, we're going to avoid training the same Pokémon. We may play at different times of the day. We're also going to be trying to stick to the series' golden rule: Real winners play with their favorites. This may mean that sometimes we're not using Pokémon with type-advantages or statistical advantages. We're gonna use the ones we think are awesome, underused, oft-maligned, or unfamiliar to us or our audience.

We're playing the game blind. (If you're familiar with the game and we miss something, PLEASE let us know.)

I personally am thinking we should rip off the great RedChocobo and Zorak by hosting or joining an IRC channel while we play, but whether we do or not, our decisions in game are gonna depend a lot on you guys. Either way, we're definitely asking you for your best ideas on nicknames. This doesn't have to wait until we find the Pokémon you're nicknaming. If you think we're gonna encounter it, shoot us a line! We'll credit you if we use any of your suggestions. Likewise, if you think we oughta choose, say, one fossil over another, or something like that, we'll act on your input.

Come hop in with us! This is gonna be fun.

(Oh, incidentally. Hi, forum. I'm 3-I. :smallamused:)

I'll be keeping my eye on this. Very different then the typical Pokemon Let's Play around here.

Edit: And voting for a Male with a Totodile

Eldonauran
2012-03-13, 07:25 PM
I enjoy a good let's play of pokemon.

I vote for Female and a Charmander Torchic, because... Just because. :smallamused:

3-I
2012-03-13, 08:51 PM
How about we make that Cyndaquil for ya?

Also, any name ideas, for the players or the 'Mons?

EDIT: Actually, after discussion with SJ, here's how this should break down...

Everyone here has two votes, one for each of us. At this stage, all we really need you to choose is the gender we play and a name for the character.

(We won't turn down any suggestions for Starter Pokemon if anyone knows what they want to see us use. Your votes have been logged, but we won't ask anyone else to make a decision on that before we throw some Pokedex entries up for the three that are available.)

Deme
2012-03-13, 10:16 PM
3-I: Female, with a Chicorita. Let's call her Erin.
Seph (can I call you Seph?): Male, with a Cyndaquil. Let's call him Aaron.

Opposites, ahoy!

Eldonauran
2012-03-14, 12:36 AM
How about we make that Cyndaquil for ya?

Also, any name ideas, for the players or the 'Mons?

But, but... :smallsigh:

I forgot, second gen starters. LLLLLAAAMMMMEEE.

In that case, I vote along side Deme. :smallamused: That one always has good ideas.

SephlidJam
2012-03-14, 01:38 AM
(can I call you Seph?)


Totally fine with me!

Also, I'm just gonna toss out that voting's going to stay open until, oh, I don't know, Friday. I figure that'll be enough time for people to poke their head in.

Le Bel Inconnu
2012-03-15, 05:10 PM
I don't really have a preference on character gender, so I guess I'll just add another vote to a girl for 3-I and a guy for Sephlid. I also add another vote for Cyndaquil for Sephlid.

But I'm gonna go against the groupthink and say 3-I should get Totodile.

Fri
2012-03-16, 10:58 AM
That intro was actually pretty funny. Don't have any preference, just saying that most likely I'll be watching this.

Ack, mom must have bought something with my money again. ...Restores HP?

:smallfrown: She does this all the time. I mean, I love her to death, but... Mom. I DON'T HAVE a Pokémon! I can't use any of this stuff! All I've got is plushie ones. And I don't exactly think Mr. Whiskers (http://cdn2.mixrmedia.com/wp-uploads/girlybubble/blog/2011/03/1108526072_0bb040b25b.jpg) is low on HP right now.

Maybe I oughta play a quick round of Brawl... :smalltongue: I am the BEST as Pokémon Trainer. Thuh BESHT.

... Man, I wish I hadn't mounted this thing in an NES case. I can't even reach the power button through that little door since my stupid fingers got too big. not like i know where the wiimote got to anyway. :smallfrown:

SJ says: On a side note... you CAN in fact do this. (http://www.instructables.com/id/NintenWii-Wii-re-done-for-NES-case/) It's just as official as this particular game, too! (Also, Lucario is the best character in Brawl and you know it)

Uhhhh, what ELSE is there to do?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update1-21.png
... What. So I like Pokémon. :smallannoyed:

... A lot. :smallmad:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update1-22.png

... Look, just get off my CASE, okay? So I like Pokemon. Big deal. :smallfurious:

SJ says: Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't anything ELSE to read!

Okay, Okay. Chill, Erin. Gotta be SOMETHING you can do to keep you from havin' to... Go outside today.

I'unno, I'm just feeling the sliiiightest bit of trepidation. Like if I walk downstairs, I won't be able to come back here and chill out for a really, really long time or something.

... Not that I'd mind all THAT much, I guess. I mean... Look at all those TOWNS. All those pretty little places.

:smallyuk: I can't go to ANY of them 'cus I don't have a Pokémon, and nobody in this stupid town has a WEEDWHACKER or something. There's tall grass on one side and a water route on the other.

:smallsigh: I tried building a boat once. I only got twenty feet away from shore before a Tentacool got me. And ate my favorite little white hat. I STILL haven't gotten its ink out of my hair. Stupid Tentacool. :smallyuk:

SJ says: Do note the Route 100. It's new. That's exciting.

Okay, fine, I can hear Mom and the neighbor lady downstairs. I better get out of here.

... This place is dead anyway.

( Not that I'm confessing anything.)

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update1-25.png for you!
THE Professor Elm? The Pokémon Professor? :smalleek: What does he want with ME?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update1-26.png
:smalleek: I thought he was still mad at me for that time I pushed that box over and all the pokeballs in it broke open.

:smallfrown: It wasn't my fault! Why would anyone ever be studying that many Spearows anyway? He thought they EVOLVED from something. That's crazy!

SJ says: And it's not MY fault they escaped and attacked that kid over in Kanto. Sheesh!

SJ says: OUT OF MY HEAD, OAK!

I can't... use it in the house? What? That's... What am I supposed to do, take all my calls outside?! What if it's raining or something?! :smallfurious:

Ugh, fine, whatever. I'll go take it outside.

Oh, uh, hi, neighbor lady.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update1-35.png

:smallamused: I saw her bite a magikarp once. A LIVE one. She broke a TOOTH.

SJ says: And she keeps going on and on about how she's going to discover a Pokemon made out of ice cream. Like that'll every happen. (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Vanillish)

If I don't leave before the Tin Man does his song and dance, I'll probably just stay and watch the whole thing.

This thing is a piece of crap. :smallannoyed:


SJ says: Note - it's secretly the Vs. Seeker (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Vs_Seeker). Which makes sense, as both the original Pokegear and the Vs. Seeker were used for rebattling. At least now we don't have to deal with getting calls non-stop about TOP TIER RATTATA.

Oh, right, that. I should... probably get on that.

... Who the hell is that guy? :smallconfused:

I don't think I've seen him around before. Maybe I should go say hello.

... And find out why he's staring into the lab through the window while hiding behind a sign like a creepy jerk. :smallconfused:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update1-48.png

Hrrrm. I don't wanna surprise him or anything. I don't know what he'd do. How can I announce myself so he won't freak out?

Sh-Should I... Headbutt something?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update1-47.png

You and me, little miss Elm. We're gonna ROCK the field of Poképroffing. Now give me a high-five. :smallsmile:

Oh, geez. He's still there. :smalleek:

Y-you want me to go find your crackpot friend and see what he's rambling on about?

Um, okay. Anything to help. :smalleek:

SJ says: I've always thought of Mr. Pokemon as on the level of a crypto-zoologist. Well intentioned, but gets ahead of himself way too much. And Elm's just an old buddy and a bit of a sucker.

Oh. My. Gosh. It is so CUUUUUUTE!

It's adorable and happy and it has a big leaf on its head and it's a grass type and it looks like a little pear and it is SO CUTE!

:haley: It even says it's easy to raise! So there won't be a repeat of the Spearow incident! Or the Tentacool incident! Or that one time with the Geodude!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update1-82.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/b/bf/152Chikorita.png/366px-152Chikorita.png
Number 152, CHIKORITA
The LEAF Pokemon.
Type: Grass.
Ability: OVERGROW. (Powers up Grass-type moves in a pinch!)
Height: 2'11". Weight: 14 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:
A sweet aroma gently wafts from the leaf on its head. It is docile and loves to soak up the sun's rays. Its pleasantly aromatic leaves have the ability to check the humidity and temperature. In battle, Chikorita waves its leaf around to keep the foe at bay. However, a sweet fragrance also wafts from the leaf, becalming the battling Pokémon and creating a cozy, friendly atmosphere all around.

3-I's notes: I like Chikorita. I feel like it's actually pretty underrated; I don't really see very many people using it or its evolved forms. My theory is that we all, ALL wanted a fire type in the first gen, but the first few gyms got much harder if you chose Charmander... I know a lot of people who jumped ship for Cyndaquil. In addition to that, though, it's a pure grass-type, which gives it a whole lot of weaknesses, and its movepool isn't exactly stellar. Heck, it only ever learns two attacks that benefit from Same Type Attack Bonus or STAB. Still, Smogon seems to have the opinion that it's a fairly good defensive wall, and I could certainly see using it that way.
SJ's notes: I'm on the other side of the coin here. Chikorita was always my least favorite of the starters, but that's just my 12-year-old self making opinions. As far as move sets go, Chikorita actually learns the same number of STAB moves as Totodile, surprisingly enough (Cyndaquil only learns one more than the others). Additionally, the first STAB move Chikorita gets, Razor Leaf, has the highest power of the 3 at 55. Chikorita also gets both Reflect and Light Screen naturally, helping it wall out attacks, and Synthesis as a means of restoring HP. Stat-wise, it's very clearly a defensive Pokemon, with 65 base Defense and Sp. Def as it's highest stats as a Chikorita (these increase to 100 as Meganium). It also has the highest base stat total of all of the starters.

I'll suggest for the Chicorita to be called Moss. While we haven't met Cyndaquil yet, if it's a girl, I want her to be called Amber.

Moss Def? :smalltongue:

Hmm, I'm not sure I want to lichen him to something non-vascular. He's a Bryolova, not a Bryophyta! And besides, if I say something mean about him, he'd get spore with me!

Incidentally, maybe we could name the Cyndaquil "Coffeeroast." That way, if I pick Moss, we can have the Adventures of Peat and Peet. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105933/)

How does this tag team thing work? If you explained it in the OP I missed it, but it seems weird. You guys are just both doing a runthrough at the same time and alternating who updates? It seems like doing so would show off the mod, but not allow a lot of attachment to the various 'mons, as one could die off screen while the other is updating, and you only ever see any of them half as much. Unless I'm misunderstanding of course.




As an aside, in the mod notes you said they got the physical/special split? Is that actually the case? Because I wasn't aware they could do that for the GBA-era games. If it was done, is there anything in game indicating a physical vs special attack, or do you have to work on outside knowledge?

3-I
2012-03-19, 10:38 AM
It is weird, but that's what makes it awesome!

It bears noting that this isn't gonna be a Nuzlocke run or anything, so that even if we have major battles offscreen and Pokémon faint, they won't necessarily be removed from our team. You'll still see 'em! Sometimes you gotta play the strategy card, and letting one Pokémon faint so you can shore up the chances of success for the one with a type advantage is the difference between getting the gym badge and... whatever "whiting out" is. :smallconfused:

The plan is that when we get to areas or parts of the game that allow us to actually capture Pokemon, the non-playing partner will chime in with 'Dex entries and nicknames of anything they capture. You'll get to know our teams, don't worry. And anyway, we're gonna try to weave a narrative world together so it really feels like we ARE in the same game sesh.

(EDIT: If that falls apart or stops making sense, we may just do two parallel runs and show you everything. :smalltongue:)

Also, who knows, maybe we'll simulate trades or fight each other at some points. If that's possible. (I don't really know.)



As for the physical/special split... I haven't actually been in any major battles yet. I've done some trial runs, but nothing past the first Rival fight. I want to keep this fresh for everyone. Unfortunately, that means I haven't had a whole lot of time to test ANY special moves. Mostly just Scratch and Tackle.

Maybe SJ can answer this better than I can, but is there an experiment we could put together to test whether there's a split?

I wouldn't be surprised if there is. An awful lot of scripting and coding went into this hack.

Megaman for the Chikorita.
Blues for the Cyndaquill if its male, Roll if its female.

Fixed that for ya~. If Blues does win as the name, I will have my Cyndaquil hold a Silk Scarf for the entire game (as soon as I get my hands on one, of course).

So, as of posting, suggestions are:



3-I's Chikorita:
Megaman
Moss




My Cyndaquil:
If male:
Blues
Bass

If Female:
Roll
Amber

Gender-neutral:
Cofferoast


Since I'm in the middle of finals right now (Yay Quarter system!), suggestions will remain open until Thursday morning, and update'll be on Friday.

I vote for Moss (Chikorita) and Blues/Amber (Cyndiquil)

On a side note, I am partial to Cyndiquil above all other gen II starters. What can I say? I like the BURN. :smallamused:

Especially since I got my hands on YAPE and learned how to make it a fire/ground type and give it ground moves. :smallbiggrin:

Ah, well, might as well get downstairs.

Lady, you're crazy.

This is what happens when static text gets paired with dynamic events - she says that line no matter what the clock says. I'm expecting we'll see more of this later on.

You still owe me 300 Pokedollars. I'm not giving you any more money until you pay up.

3-I says: You read the bible, Professor? There's this passage I've got memorized...
SJ: The path of the master trainer is beset on all sides by the Shellder and the Tyranitar of Dark-type Teams. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the underleveled through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his party's keeper and the catcher of lost Pokemon. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and Furious Swipes those who attempt to poison and knock out my brothers. And you will know my name is Arceus when I lay my Judgment upon thee!

She's female? I have just the name picked out.

SJ: Starter Pokemon have a 1/8 chance of being female in theory. In practice... it's always feels a lot lower than that. I got lucky here, and this is the first Cyndaquil I chose.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%202/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_102.png

Amber and Aaron, fighting for truth, justice, and the Johto way. Awwww yeah.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/9/9b/155Cyndaquil.png/316px-155Cyndaquil.png
Number 155, CYNDAQUIL
The FIRE MOUSE Pokemon.
Type: Fire.
Ability: BLAZE. (Powers up Fire-type moves in a pinch!)
Height: 1'08". Weight: 17.4 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:
It usually stays hunched over. If it is angry or surprised, it shoots flames out of its back. It is timid, and always curls itself up in a ball. If attack, it flares up its back for protection. The flames are vigorous if the Pokémon is angry. However, if it is tired, the flames sputter fitfully with incomplete combustion.

3-I says: Love, love, love. I couldn't love this Pokémon any more if I tried. Like I said, I was one of those people who jumped ship for a fire-type as soon as I got to Gen II after having basically NONE of them in Red version, and I didn't regret the choice once. It's got STAB moves. It's got high special attack and speed. It taught me to love smokescreen. It's got access to Thunderpunch to surprise water types. And it's just gotten more and more awesome with every new gen. It's even got Charizard's stats with only half of that that horrific 4X weakness to Stealth Rock. And it's adorable. Solid starter, even if it is sorta overshadowed by Blaziken these days. (Particularly given that Blaziken apparently went Super-Saiyan when Black and White came out and is now in Smogon's Uber tier.)
Cyndaquil is the best starter I don't care what you say. I remember when the 2nd generation games were just coming out. I knew immediately which starter I wanted. It also helps that it's adorable. Anyway, Cyndaquil's the Special Attack powerhouse of the three starters - but that's not even it's best stat. It speeds right past the other two with a Base Speed of 65 - 20 points higher than Chikorita and 22 higher than Tododile. The biggest issue that our lil' Fire Mouse faces is that it doesn't learn Ember until Level 12 - whcih means it'll be relying on Tackle all the way there. However, from there, it explodes with usefulness: even if I get Thunderpunch on it, we still have a decent sized selection of moves (though, slightly shockingly, most of them are Physical under the old system)
Also, I hadn't heard about the Uber Blaziken, but that's just because I haven't been looking at the B/W metagame...

S-sure... (Can't-wait-to-leave-can't-wait-to-leave...)

Anyway, let's check the pretty lady out!

... That sounded a lot better in my head. Moving on.

SJ: Amber's sassy nature gives her a 10% boost to Sp. Defense and a 10% penalty to Speed. For anyone who doesn't know, Natures were introduced in the GBA games as a way of increasing stat variance. There are 5 that do nothing. All of the other natures give a 10% boost to one stat, and a 10% penalty to another. While this is important in competitive play, in the main game, it's not that big of a deal. For more information, click here. (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nature)

Yeah, just keep rambling on about your grandkids and stuff.

3-I says: This is a silly thing, I know, but SJ and I both thought it was totally awesome that you're walking BESIDE the Old Man for part of this instead of just following behind him. Just feels way more realistic.

Hey! There's Mr. Pokemon's house! Let's raid his garden first!

SJ: Pecha Berrys! Antidotes in berry form! Give them to a Pokemon and they'll cure themselves of any all poisons!

Aaaaaaand that's a wrap for this update! Next time, on Dragonball Z the Adventures of Aaron and Erin:

Additionally, the Wild Pokemon shown were just the ones I encountered. If you think either 3-I or myself should incorporate any of these into our team, leave a comment. (Additionally, in practice runs, I've run into Ralts and Poliwags. So, doing the trade in the Pokemon Center IS possible... you just have to get the Poliwag to Level 25 first.)

3-I says: Also, I need a name for a male Poliwag if anyone's got any ideas better than "Private Polisea."

Yeah, they took out nearly all the evil bellpeppers and swirling green death spirals!

Incidentally I hope that you don't mind us doing this. We totally don't mean to step on your toes or anything.

Also, update coming in the next few days.

Well, a little tweak with YAPE can eliminate the trade evolution. Its not very difficult even. You can change it to a specific level or with a leaf stone, or w/e you want.

I could do if for you as well. Wouldn't even impact your save game at all. :smallwink:

Reminder: We'll take just about any Pokemon nicknames that are Okay under the board rules, no matter how inane or silly or obscure of a reference!

Edit: Also, Eldonauran: YAPE. That's... brilliant. I'm not sure why my putzing around Google didn't turn that up, but there we go.

2012-03-26, 08:56 PM
Actually, I THINK I heard tell that the hack author DID make it so that trade-based evolutions would evolve some other way... Not sure if Politoed is among them. (or worth haxxing for.) Thanks, though!

... Oh, right! The update!

Huh? :smalleek:

... Th- This is an ULTRA BALL. :smalleek:

D-do you have any idea how powerful these things are? They've got like two TIMES the capture rate of a standard Poké Ball! They cost like six times as much! I've never even OWNED an empty Poké Ball before! :smalleek:

:smallredface: ... uhm... thank you?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update2-28.png

I'm... not entirely sure I should have one of these yet. I get the feeling something could go horribly wrong. :smallfrown:

3-I says: Before any of you ask, no, I don't know what this person is doing here. He appeared on Wednesday the 21st of March. Haven't seen him on other days of the week, so maybe he's just a Wednesday dude? If you meet him, BE CAREFUL. If you make use of his Ultra Ball to catch something before you fight your rival, do NOT put your starter into the PC until after you battle him. The game'll hang unless one of the starters is in your party.
SJ: I'll be testing this more, but it's interesting to note that in 2002 and 2013, Christmas is/will be on a Wednesday.

This could totally revolutionize the study of Pokémon. Nobody's ever SEEN a Pokémon breed before. They've always, like, run away into the wild with schools of other Pokémon of their subspecies, or just not bred. If you're saying a Pokémon DAYCARE found this, it might mean that trained Pokémon AREN'T incapable of- did you say oak? :smalleek:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update2-69.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/49/060Poliwag.png
Number 60, POLIWAG
The TADPOLE Pokemon.
Type: Water.
Ability: Water Absorb. (Heals 25% HP when hit by a Water-type attack!)
Height: 2'00. Weight: 27.3 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Its slick black skin is thin and damp. A part of its internal organs can be seen through the skin as a spiral pattern. However, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it. Its newly grown legs prevent it from walking well. It appears to prefer swimming over walking.

3-I's notes: I have never, ever trained a Poliwag before. It's a solid water-type at this stage, and it starts with Bubble, which I'm definitely gonna abuse in just a little while, here... It has two possible final evolved forms, one of which is sorta mediocre, but has good support moves, and one of which has a fairly unique typing and an awful lot of punch and moxie. It's also one of the more distinctive-looking Gen 1 Pokémon, in my opinion... And pretty adorable to boot. I really like its little diaphanous tail! Looking forward to training it up!
SJ's notes: I've... I've never trained a Poliwag either. But, even so, I'm impressed with the lil' tadpole. Strictly compared to Totodile (the other water Pokemon you'd be likely to have at this stage of the game), Poliwag has worse stats... except for a blazing fast 90 Speed - which makes it as fast as Ho-oh, Kyogre and Moltres, and faster than Suicune, Gyarados, and, heck, even Feraligatr. However, while it keeps that speed as a Poliwhirl, both Poliwrath and Politoad slow down to 70 Speed. Moveset-wise, the Poli-family gets all of the standard Water type moves, and also Belly Drum and Body Slam for setting it up for the evolution into Poliwrath - who's more of a Physical powerhouse (though nowhere on the level of Gyarados, Poliwrath makes up for it with some sweet STAB moves for both of its types)

Aaaawesome! :sabine:

SJ: Putting things to sleep: Always one of the best tactics. I decided to look up how sleep works, and it's just a just a random number of turns - where the number of turns changes every generation. In Gen III (the one we're on), it lasts between 1 to 6 turns.
3-I says: Maybe. Unless the hack authors changed it. They DID allegedly put in the physical-special split, so changing other things to be more like later gens is not necessarily out of the question.


Soooo anyway, I ran back into that Berry guy's house from earlier so I could rest for a bit...

SJ: And at this point, I'm still not sure why Elm calls the player (outside of, ya know, the obvious plot hook). It's not like there's any evidence that the player's seen ??? up until this point.

uhm. actually. what did the thief-

Edit: Also, Eldonauran: YAPE. That's... brilliant. I'm not sure why my putzing around Google didn't turn that up, but there we go.

Names for a Ralts? How about ... Hermes for male (Gallade) or Belle for female (Gardevoir)? Rival is ... Daemon? Rolan? I'm fond of those names.

I checked my copy of liquid crystal. It seems the trade evolutions have been converted into levels or stone evolves. Politoed, for example, evolves from poliwhirl via sunstone.

Pssst. Gallade's not until the next generation.

But, that's interesting. I mean, the Sun Stone makes sense. And it leaves the King's Rock as a hold item.

Cool updates guys.

For a male Gardevoir call it either NotGallade or Bridget (if your familiar with Guilty Gear of TV tropes:smallbiggrin:). I like Belle for a girl.

Someone should get a phanpy called Nelly (female) or OlliePhant (male). And for a ledyba, call it Red Ranger cos my friend always says ledian looks like a Power Ranger. Not sure about any of the others.

Rival has to be something like Damian. Daemon is also cool. Something evil starting with D is always great.

For a male Gardevoir call it Bridget.

Yes.

Very yes.

So very yes.

If we're looking at names for a trap...
Lucius (Fire Emblem) and Ruka (Steins Gate) will also work. Ruke even comes with a handy IT'S A TRAP line. Think about it: "Gardevoire is an impressive psychic with a delicate and feminine style... But... he's a guy!"
That sort of thing.

At that rate, might as well go with Hideyoshi.

I have always called my female Ralts, Bella. Yes you can consider it a name from Twilight, but it has a very cool meaning:

It means war!

(http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bellum#Latin Look at the female nominative case)

I love the idea of a female Gardevoir, a special powerhouse with a name that means war.

Yes I took 4 years of Latin :p

ERIN STATUS UPDATE

So... I figured I'd come clean about this. Last night, due to exceedingly poor planning, I lost the save file that contained Erin's adventure and all of the saved states related to it. :smallsigh:

I'm trying to get back to where I was. I found a much earlier save (taken around when I started charging the Pokégear), so my trainer number has been preserved, and I'm attempting to engineer a Chikorita with the same nature by using saved states and mild luck manipulation, but I don't promise everything is gonna be exactly the same. (IVs and EVs are probably gonna be different, and there ain't nothing I can do about that without altering my save. If I even knew what they used to be, which I don't. :smallyuk:) Thankfully, this happened early in the run! But, yeah, there's no way I'm gonna put in hours of fighting the RNG to get a Poliwag with a hindering nature. I'll try it a few times, but if it doesn't look like it's gonna happen, I'm just gonna catch the first one I see.

Aside from that, I'm gonna do everything I've already done in the published run, so when I get back on track, nothing should be noticeably different. I'll put up stats pages for my 'mons, though. I woulda just run through again and tried to keep things similar with luck manipulation, but I figure, you're adults, you have a right to know. :smallfrown:

Hopefully I'll be back on track by the time SJ updates. Wish me luck! Or easy luck-manipulation!

+1 Def, -1 Sp. Atk. :smallamused: Close enough for government work.

EDIT 2:

So it turns out Ultra Ball Guy is a Thursday guy. Also, changing your system date does change the date accessed by the in-game clock, if any of you want to cheat the system. (But be warned, if you skip too far ahead at once, your town will be covered in weeds and all your villagers will have moved away.)

Wait this is a thing? I'm interested in hearing more about how these villagers just up and abandon the town due to time skip. Is this something that happens naturally in the game? Is there something you can do to stop it? Inquiring minds want to know!

Seerow: Perhaps I should have put that section in blue sarcasm text. Or slipped in a Mr. Resetti reference.


(In seriousness, that was just an Animal Crossing reference, it is not a feature of this game.)

Alright, I'll give it to him... though I give him 50/50 odds of dropping it.

Come to think of it, Mr. Pokémon, why don't you just give it to him yourself? He's literally two towns over! I walked here by myself in an hour! And I didn't even know where your house was!

3-I says: He doesn't have any Pokémon! You ever see him with a Pokémon? NO.

He just lives out there in the middle of the spooky woods, surrounded by tall grass and trees that could only be cut down by a Pokémon...

Come to think of it, how did he even GET in there?

Wait. My pants are vibrating.

What's that? :smallconfused:

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/e/e1/280Ralts.png/130px-280Ralts.png
Number 280, RALTS
The FEELING Pokemon.
Type: Psychic.
Ability: SYNCHRONIZE (Passes on status problems.) or TRACE (Copies special ability.)
Height: 1'04". Weight: 14.6 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:
It is highly attuned to the emotions of people and Pokémon. It hides if it senses hostility. If its trainer is in a cheerful mood, this Pokémon grows cheerful and joyous in the same way. This Pokémon rarely appears before people. But when it does, it draws closer if it senses that the person has a positive disposition.
SJ's notes: Oh Ralts. For my money, Ralts, and its final evolution, Gardevoir, are pretty much just an alternate version of the Abra line. My first time through Sapphire, I caught one of these immediately - and then proceeded to angst over whether to switch to an Abra. Abra itself has a fair bit going for it - ridiculously high Special Attack and Speed (105 and 90, respectively), where as Ralts has a 45 Special Attack as it's highest. However, the biggest difference is that Abra... never learns any actual attacks. At all. Once they fully evolve, we have Alakazam being Alakazam, and Gardevoir with lower Special Attack (115 vrs. 135) and Speed (80 versus 120) but higher everything else. Ralts/Gardevoir is a much more defensive Pokemon over-all, learning Double Team at Level 11 and Calm Mind at Level 21; additionally, it learns Psychic (generally considered as the best straight-forward Psychic type attack) at Level 26, versus Alakazam's Level 36. In short, while not the straight-up Death-on-twin-spoons that is Alakazam, Gardevour is a powerful, if more defensive, choice.
3-I says: Wait, where the hell did you get that thing? Has it just been... following you around this whole time?

Oh, right, uh, Ralts. Uh. Sorry, that just... caught me off-guard. Wally had one, and I remember resenting him for it, because it's a cool-looking little guy. That's... all I've got, really, I'm not that familiar with it. Hey, did you guys know Ralts has eyes? http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/24/Trozeiani280.gif

Oh, I should mention that the screen shots that I took of me ACTUALLY catching Bridget got eaten by the evil computer weevils. I used the Thursday Ultraball, if you were counting. :smallredface:

...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-43.png

It's kinda weird to think I won't be in here for a while. That I'm about to start my Pokémon journey.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-44.png

I mean, this is what I've always wanted. And... Hanging around with Moss and Private Polisea has been a whole lot of fun. Exploring, battling... This day has seriously been just... too MUCH, y'know? :smallsmile:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-45.png

... It's gonna be worth it, though. There's so many places I want to go. So much I want to see. Even though it is a little scary to let go of everything that's familiar to do it.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update1-18.png

My name is not E-mail Sam. Ooh, Ahh. So please don't call me E-mail Sam. Ooh, Ahh.

I know it's gonna be fun out there... So why is it so scary to leave?

Dear Erin,
How do you type with boxing gloves o-

... Goodbye, old room. I hope I haven't outgrown you by the time I get back.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-48.png

Let's do it. Now or never.

Solid.

SJ: The dude abides.

LATER:

Okay, eventually I got tired and called it a night at the Pokémon Center.

The next day I started off wandering around Route 30, and...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-68.png

Pokémon battles, huh? :smalltongue:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-69.png

A solid strategy. Strength in numbers!

3-I says: I think I prefer the "Would Like to Battle" construction.
SJ: Well, I never thought about it before, but I second this motion

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-73.png

KILL IT! :smallwink:

YEAH! :smallbiggrin:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-75.png

That's what you get when you pick a fight with someone AWESOME. :smallamused:

Particularly when your only Pokémon is a Rattata at a lower level. :smallyuk:

SJ: Hey! That Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattata!

:smallamused: Now get down and lick my boots clean.

Or, uh, prize money's fine, I guess.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-76.png

As a general rule, no. You? Yes. Yes, definitely.

... Wh- Oh come on, I'm tryin' to give you good advice here. MORE POKéMON IS BETTER. :smallyuk:

... In fact, you know what? I'm gonna go check out that place with all the different Pokémon I checked out earlier.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-66.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-7.png

You know, this place.

(Er, thanks, random stranger.)

After some wandering around and fighting stuff...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-79-Icanclimbthis.png

This place SUCKS! There's nothing but Rattata and Spearows!

Where are all the rare, different kinds of Pokémon?

Hrm. Maybe they're up this ledge?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-79-Icanclimbthis.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/d/d3/231Phanpy.png/251px-231Phanpy.png
Number 231, PHANPY.
The LONG NOSE Pokémon.
Type: Ground.
Ability: Pickup. (At the end of a battle, this Pokémon has a chance of finding an item!)
Height: 1'08". Weight: 73.9 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Phanpy uses its long nose to shower itself. When others gather around, they thoroughly douse each other with water. These Pokémon can be seen drying their soaking-wet bodies at the edge of water. For its nest, Phanpy digs a vertical pit in the ground at the edge of a river. It marks the area around its nest with its trunk to let the others know that the area has been claimed. Phanpy's big ears serve as broad fans. When it becomes hot, it flaps the ears busily to cool down. Even the young are very strong. It swings its long snout around playfully, but because it is so strong, this can be dangerous. As a sign of affection, it bumps with its snout. However, it is so strong, it may send you flying.

3-I's notes: In addition to having some of the most varied and interesting Pokédex information ever, Phanpy has pretty solid physical stats in attack and defense, and above-par HP growth for its evolutionary level. When it evolves, it becomes even tankier, its growth in attack and defense raising substantially. It's pure ground-type, which means it doesn't have some of those pesky 4x weaknesses that things like, say, Geodude have got. I feel like I don't see Phanpy and Donphan used very often, and that probably is because of the metagame more than anything else; it's most often set up as a rapid-spinner to deal with entry hazards, and, lacking any particularly viable recovery moves, there are other things that do that job better. But hey, it learns Rollout. Rollout's good enough for Whitney, which means it's MORE than good enough for me.
SJ's notes: Let's start with the bad news: Phanpy doesn't learn any Ground-type attacks naturally until Level 49. And while it's the always-powerful Earthquake, it's still extremely late. That said, it comes out of the bag with a respectable Base 90 HP (which actually doesn't change when it evolves) - which means that stat is on-par with the Kanto Legendary Birds. When it evolves, Phanpy gets a huge boost to attack and defense, jumping from 60s to 120s, meaning it out-powers Aggron, Golem and Snorlax and out-defends Claydol and Umbreon. HOWEVER, even with these incredible Physical stats, Donphan has a movepool that makes a puddle look deep, and no real speed to speak up. Luckily, that second part can be compensated for, but even then, it's almost not enough.

No Pokédex entry. I kinda blacked out before it happened.

:smallfrown: When I came to, I was back at Elm's with a twisted ankle. Nothing broken. He said Polisea had carried me out of the wilderness. Moss had been hiding behind Elm's desk, trying shyly to get his attention, but Elm gets really... FOCUSED when he works. It's a good thing Polisea grew HANDS, because otherwise I don't think they would ever have found me. :smallfrown:

Polisea... You've gone above and beyond the call of duty. I'm promoting you to Private First Class. EVERYONE SALUTE PFC POLISEA. :smallmad:

I mean, my Pokémon went to so much trouble to save me. I can't just give up now!

So what do you say, guys? Shall we get back out there and continue our journey?

Oooooh. Rare Pokémon. :smallsmile:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/update3-93.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-94.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/f/fc/261Poochyena.png/271px-261Poochyena.png
Number 261, POOCHYENA.
The BITE Pokémon.
Type: Dark.
Ability: Run Away. (Guarantees escape from a Wild Pokémon!)
Height: 1'08". Weight: 30.0 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Poochyena is an omnivore - it will eat anything. At first sight, Poochyena takes a bite at anything that moves. This Pokémon chases after prey until the victim becomes exhausted. However, it may turn tail if the prey strikes back. A distinguishing feature is how large its fangs are compared to its body. This Pokémon tries to intimidate its foes by making the hair on its tail bristle out. It has a very tenacious nature. Its acute sense of smell lets it chase a chosen prey without ever losing track.

3-I's notes: More or less permanently overshadowed - see what I did there? - by other dark types, Poochyena kind of... doesn't cut it. It's got a lackluster movepool, poor stats, and an ability that doesn't work in trainer battles. When it evolves, its ability turns into Intimidate, which is at least sort of viable, and I guess if I don't encounter any other Dark types between now and Kanto, it certainly is an option to use against a certain Psychic-type gym, but let's be honest. It's Dark-type Rattata, and not even a top-tier one.
SJ's notes: Unfortunately for this little puppy, I don't have much to add to this. Well, It learns Bite at Level 13, which is respectable, and it'll help bust up Morty's gym, but even then. Mediocre-at-best stats, and a movepool that strongly resembles Donphan's means this isn't the best. My first time through Sapphire, I raised one of these to my final team... if only to remove it during my Elite Four runs.

That said, in this, it might've stood a change if Howl wasn't busted. 3-I and I tested it, and it doesn't affect how much damage this guy was dealing in any way. If it hadn't, with the Physical/Special split, Howl would sky-rocket Bite and Crunch's damage.

If only.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/6/6b/179Mareep.png/140px-179Mareep.png
Number 179, MAREEP.
The WOOL Pokémon.
Type: Electric.
Ability: Static. (Paralyzes on Contact)
Height: 2'00". Weight: 17.2 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Mareep's fluffy coat of wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more static electricity is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail grows. Its fleece grows continually. In the summer, the fleece is fully shed, but it grows back in a week. If static electricity builds in its body, its fleece doubles in volume. Touching it will shock you.

3-I says: Or SHOULD shock you, at least.

SJ's Notes: I suppose Mareeps are what Robots dream of. That said, I love this little sheep. It's the first electric Pokemon you got in Gen 2, and well, it does it's job shockingly well. Despite being the slowest Electric Pokemon (at 55 Base Speed when fully evolved), it's got a sturdiness that most of the other 'mons of its type could only dream of. Disregarding Legendarys, it's got the 2nd highest Defense (75 to Magneton's 95), the 2nd highest Special Defense (90 to Jolteon's 95) and the Highest HP (90) of Electric types, and it caps that off with a respectable Special Attack score of 115. All that means is that it's a strong Pokemon for running around in game, even if it has a small learn-set; it gets ThunderShock at 9, Thunder Wave at 16, and ThunderPunch at 30 when it evolves into Ampharos. Maybe a bit of a one-trick pony, but that's all I ask of it.

3-I's notes: I've always had a soft spot in my heart for electric types, and Mareep was one of the first I got with a nice assortment of STAB moves and highly respectable stats.

It bears noting, however, that this is the second... quirky, game-altering glitch we've found this update. EEPY happens to have NO special ability. Coupled with the fact that Howl does nothing for Banzai... Team Erin's starting to look, uh, troubled. :smallfrown:

Okay, let's go. POKé ROLL CALL!

Welcome to the team, EEPY, Banzai, and Nellaphant!

...Yeah, they're a little bedraggled, but they're cool. Maybe EEPY will get an ability when she evolves?

3-I
2012-04-04, 10:00 AM
That's what I would have thought would happen too, but, uh... I just tried running her up a level to evolve her. She doesn't get an ability then either. :smallfrown:

(which is perfectly fine because i swear if this thing doesn't change her attitude she gets to live in the box. more on that next update.)

If thats true, I'd just load up a save from before the trade and keep PvtPolisea. An Ampharos without static is no Ampharos of mine:smallmad:. (Thats if you have an earlier save state)

And Donphan is awesome with rollout.

You could just hack in the appropriate ability. Seems to me like the lack of ability is a glitch from the patch not specifying an ability for the traded pokemon.

Yes, this has been my plan all along. :smalltongue:

Seerow: I actually could, REALLY easily... Enciclopedia Pokémon spit up a confused error message when I tried to check out what was going on with EEPY, and will automatically correct the problem if I re-save her, but I'm a bit reluctant to do that. Partly, this is because I feel like I should play the hack as presented, but partly, it's because Enciclopedia Pokémon is meant to work with the vanilla Advance games, and I don't really know what it might mess up if I use it.

No promises that I won't fix things a few evolutions down the line, of course.

Won't mess up a thing. I use it often on modded games to ... correct any glitches (Yeah, thats a good one...). I'm pretty sure that the error you got was because EEPY had no ability, and it should.

Chapter 4:
In which our hero gains new allies, new rivals and attains his newest destination.

When we last saw our intrepid adventurer, he was in the midst of a delicate moral quandary:

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/53/163Hoothoot.png
Number 163, HOOTHOOT.
The OWL Pokémon.
Type: Normal/Flying.
Ability: INSOMNIA (Prevents Sleep)
Height: 2'04". Weight: 46.7 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

It has a perfect sense of time. Whatever happens, it keeps rhythm by precisely tilting its head in time. It always stands on one foot. It changes feet so fast, the movement can rarely be seen. Hoothoot has an internal organ that senses and tracks the earth's rotation. Using this special organ, this Pokémon begins hooting at precisely the same time every day.

SJ's notes: To quote Smogon, "Well, it's Noctowl Hoothoot. It isn't that great, but hey, it's an owl. That's cool, right?" It's a not terrible as an introductary bird Pokemon, I guess? What makes it stand out from the other Pidgey-clones is the emphasis on Special Defense and HP, with a 50 and a 60 respectively as a Hoothoot. It also gets the standard suite of Psychic type attacks, but it's completely outshined in that regard by Natu/Xatu and, more directly, the Ralts family. Right now, it's one saving grave is Hypnosis at level 16, but this one's going to see inside of a PC once that doesn't cut it any more.

3-I's notes: Hoothoot originally existed mostly to show off the day and night mechanic of Generation II... It usually only showed up if you encountered it at night. In a nifty little bit of attention to detail, you CAN find Hoothoot during the day by headbutting trees. And if you do, they start the battle asleep. Hoothoot really adds a lot of interesting flavor to the world, in that way... It highlights perfectly that some Pokémon really do have different activity cycles. Also, I love its design, with the little gearlike notes along its eyes and the hands that make up its... uh... eyebrow plumage. Really puts forth the whole "Clock" idea.

Also, back in Gen II, Hoothoot was handy to have around because it could be taught Flash, useful in the Dark Cave ahead, and, eventually, Fly. Couple that with its ability to learn moves like Reflect and Hypnosis, not to mention its decently high HP and Sp. Def. stats, and you've got a useful utility Pokémon/HM slave, which is probably why a Noctowl hung around in my party for most of the game back in Silver version. Nowadays, of course, it can't learn flash, and to be honest, there are better Pokémon around to do everything else. In Gen IV and V, Hoothoot and Noctowl actually get a pretty good set of normal- and flying-type STAB moves- Most notably, Sky Attack, which has always been severely underused. (I think it was intended to be Moltres' signature attack, but that was subverted by it being a late-game TM move... And also because a certain other famous Pokémon knew it. (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Missingno.)) Even so, its attack and Sp. Atk. stats aren't really all that great, so their use can be a little limited if you don't specifically EV train it to be an attack gremlin. Even then, it sort of ends up as the Mario.

Also, I propose we call her "Farrah Bueller" from now on.

Well, it's getting pretty late. Might as well turn for the night. But first:

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/7/75/167Spinarak.png/190px-167Spinarak.png
Number 167, SPINARAK.
The STRING SPIT Pokémon.
Type: Bug/Poison.
Ability: INSOMNIA (Prevents Sleep)
Height: 1'08". Weight: 18.7 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

It spins a web using fine--but durable--thread. It lies still in the same pose for days in its web, waiting for its unsuspecting prey to wander close. The web it spins can be considered its second nervous system. It is said that a Spinarak determines its prey by the tiny vibrations it feels through the web.

SJ's notes: Spider 'mon, Spider 'mon, does whatever a Spider ... con? Sorry. That worked better in my head. Anyway, Spinarak and its evolution, surprisingly, make the previous Bug/Poison Beedrill weep slowly - at least, they did back in the orignal Gen 2 games. In this game, they'll still work... alright? For the most part? It's not the strongest Pokemon, but it has some interesting tricks to it, even if the moves it learns naturally aren't worth writing home about.

3-I's notes: This spider has soooooooo many irons in the fire, you guys. She casts such a tangled web. It is a web full of flaming irons and mixed metaphors.

I get the feeling that at one point, Spinarak and Ariados were intended to be pretty good, but, well... Its STAB moves overlap on at least one type, and its weaknesses... it just can't catch a 8r8k!!!!!!!! On the plus side, though, it IS mighty resistant against fighting types, and there should be at least one fighting gym in this game. And then it'll win SO many 8adges. All the 8adges. All of them.

Also, it gets Spider Web. So we have that.

This spider is gr8. This sp8der is gr8. This sp8d8r is gr8.

Just... Just gotta keep thinking that! Yeah!

... Oh god! Bueller!

W-well. I might as well get used to the... thing. Okay, Vriska. Let's see what you got.

Yes! That was disgusting to watch, but that was a decent hit, but, ugh, oh god, w- wait. What? Bridget? What are you doing there? And why are you covered i- nevermind.

Youngster Micheal: Hey! You can't have two Pokemon! That's cheating!

... I suppose. Vriska, return!


3-I says: That the way you win your battles, kid? Say anything you don't like is cheating? Anything that beats you disrupts game balance? That what you're saying?! Scrub?! HUH?! THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN'?! :smallfurious:

That. That was fast.

What. No. Bridget, you need to end this now! C'mon!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_31-1.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_32-1.png

Amber. Avenge your comrade.

Right. Good luck with that. I'll... I'll be right back.

SJ: And this is why I'm not playing a Nuzlocke.

Alright, next trainer!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_45.png

... Then why are you standing around here, idiot? Don't you know that there's wild Pokemon in the Tall Grass! And if you don't have Pokemon, how did you get here, unless you came from Violet city, but now you can't get back! It's just so... so... okay. My head hurts.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_46.png

... You aren't in tall grass. Pokemon don't appear unless you're in tall grass. Why am I surrounded by idiots?

^This battle, in short.

Now, onwards! But, I can't shake the feeling that I'm being followed...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_55.png

Aaron. Same deal.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_59.png

Oh. Oh you did not. BRING IT, PUNK! :smallannoyed:

... What. The hell. Is that.

SJ: Clearly, Zane's team is photoshopped. I can tell by the reflections.
3-I says:Not to mention Zane himself. Custom sprite, rare 'mon... I get the distinct feeling we got another rival all up in here. :smallwink:
Go! Bridget!

... Alright. That... that didn't go well... Um, well, when in doubt, AMBER!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_65.png

Okay. That. That was weird. It was like all of realty wrapped around a single point and then screamed in terror.

3-I says: Then I stared into the abyss, and as my lungs dissolved into endless screaming, the abyss STARED BACK INTO ME.

(Conversion 2 changes the user's current type to a random type that either resists or is immune to the type of the last damaging move with which it was hit. Pretty awesome move, signature of the Porygon line.)

Nevermind. Amber! Tackle again!

... That's annoying.

Alright, keep at it!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_69.png PORYGON became the PSYCHIC type!

That's what you get for throwing a bunch of pixels at me.

Couldn't you at least have thrown a normal-mapped texture on there or something?

In part because you started the battle before asking, ya jerk.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_77.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%204/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_78.png

There's going to be a next time? I CAN'T wait. Not. one. bit.

Anyway, everyone looks a little haggard, so...

Feh. Come on, I'm sure it's not THAT bad. But, first, what's that?

Aaaaand more information that just about everyone knows. You must be from, like, the back country or something.

Alright, Amber, let's go for the hat trick!

What. Why are you comin ba- Bridget?

Good hit!

3-I says: Sometimes I question whether Aaron is even in command here. :smallconfused:
SJ says: Sometimes, so does he.

Oh boy, let's hope it doesn't hit you ag-

So that's that then.

Alright, team, let's get out of here... Amber? Amber, what's going on?

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/b/b6/156Quilava.png/140px-156Quilava.png
Number 156, QUILAVA.
The VOLCANO Pokémon.
Type: Fire.
Ability: BLAZE (Ups Fire moves in a pinch.)
Height: 2'11". Weight: 41.9 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Quilava keeps its foes at bay with the intensity of its flames and gusts of superheated air. This Pokémon applies its outstanding nimbleness to dodge attacks even while scorching the foes with flames. It intimidates foes with intense gusts of flames and superheated air. Its quick nimbleness lets it dodge attacks even while scorching an enemy. This Pokémon is fully covered by nonflammable fur. It can withstand any kind of fire attack. Be careful if it turns its back during battle. It means that it will attack with the fire on its back.

So, according to the Pokedex, Quilava is like some kind of... ninja... Weasel... that's on fire. That's pretty cool. Also, Quilava is one of my favorite Stage 1 starters; a lot of the designs give off the "Awkward Teenageer" look, where parts just don't always seem to flow or mesh right. Mechanically, there's not much to say about this guy that I haven't said about Cyndaquil: same moveset, better stats. But then again, that holds for almost all starters.

3-I's notes: Its head.

Its head.

Its head is on fire.

SJ's notes: We don't need no water, let the mother****** burn!

3-I's notes:This continues the tradition of starters having second evolutions that sort of resemble the first stage and look like natural progressions of it. I gotta admit, I was psyched about Quilava back in the day. It has the same base stat totals as Charmeleon, but a moveset that's more focused, in my opinion, on stuff that was USABLE. I will always choose Quick Attack over Rage, when I'm using a Pokemon working off its Sp. Atk. stat, because priority is worth more to me, and I still feel like Flame Wheel is a more fitting attack for a mid-stage Pokemon than Flamethrower. That could just be familiarity talking, though.

Now, let's get to Violet City!

Okay! That sounds like a plan... for tomorrow. I'm exhausted after walking all day. :smallsigh:

And here we are... home-away-from-home-sweet-home-away-from-home.

Just one more thing to do...

New Erin update coming in the next couple of days. It's getting to be Finals season over here, but the delay shouldn't keep up much longer.

Also, why is it you guys don't post anything after SJ updates?

Either cos it's easier to comment once both of you update, or some people (like me) don't check the gaming forum all too often.

As for the update, three things:

1) The rival has a frickin porygon? Sweet!

2) Evlove Bridget before fighting Falkner, we wanna see him in a dress soon.

3) You got no grass type, and Hoppip is coming up soon. Get a Jumpluff, Jumpluff rocks!:smallcool:

This, totally this. I don't think I checked the thread more than once last week. Busy week :smallfrown:

Glad you aren't running a Nuzlocke. I about face planted on my desk when I saw Bridget eat it. :smalleek:

Cyndaquil is my favorite out of all the starters, ever. I said that before, right? No? Well it is. That is why I always make it Fire/Ground type. Flaming Ninja Weasel (Ferret?) Earthquake powers activate! Learned how to hack the ROMs specifically for that reason. :smallamused:

This is a forum for a D&D based webcomic. I'm pretty sure there's a minimum quota of Monty Python references.

As for Nuzlockes... honestly? There's enough Nuzlocke LPs active right now. Not sayin' that like it's a bad thing, but the market's saturated, to the point where this thread's unusual in NOT going that route.

Also, Deme... :blush:

And Eldo was being glad that you wern't Nuzlocking, 'cuz he liek Moss.

Seriously, though, Nuzlockes require a ton of caution unless you want to loose friends...

Deme
2012-04-18, 04:42 PM
Indeed. Even though I was playing a not-quite Nuzlocke (and I suspect that the actual challenge is actually the 'use the first pokemon you find' bit, in the end), I was a rampaging mound of paranoia the whole time (Number of times I thought Rya was going to die because she wasn't as good at special attacking = about 60 billion). I'm happy this can take a more laid-back approach.


And I always like it when a trainer's attached to their pokemon -- it's how I play, basically. I tend to get attached to anything a game assigns to me as my buddy -- units in Fire Emblem, pokemon, monsters in monster ranchers, Epona (I apologize to the Beetle in Skyward sword when I bump it into stuff).
This is the ultimate reason why Soul Silver and Heart Gold are the best pokemon games ever, no matter how great I find the plotting in Black and White. (Dear Gamefreak: Please give me a pokemon game with plotting on par with Black and White, but where the pokemon follow you around and you can talk to them. I'll be your bestest friend.)

Yeah, aside from the part where Black/White is nothing but a bunch of 9/11 references (http://motherboard.vice.com/2010/12/27/ground-zero-will-be-in-the-next-pokémon-game).

Personally, I like Platinum's story, and Crystal's gameplay.

None of that stuff happened in that game, the writer has obviously never played Black and White. Also, even if that was what had happened, WHICH IT'S NOT, would having one reference to 9/11 make the game "nothing but a bunch of 9/11 references?" I think not. By that logic, the president's state of the union last year was nothing but a bunch of 9/11 references, and so is any American history book written after 2001.

Okay, now that I can take the time for a less flaming response:

1: Obviously the writer had not played this, as the article was published in 2010

2: The line about destroyed buildings (which I'm guessing your reaction is at least partly about) is obviously not in the game world itself, but in the offical region art, as can be seen on bulbapedia (spoilered for image size)

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/42/Unova_alt.png

This, however, appears to be removed at the end of the game, and construction is completed.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/01/Unova_B2W2.png

As for my personal (non-troll) views on this, I say that if it was unintentional (and I will give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt), it is close enough that somebody should have said "hey, wait a minute..."

I'm really enjoying this. It's nice that it's not a Nuzlocke, because, yes, they give me palpitations.

I tried to do a Pearl Nuzlocke a while back and just could not do it. Dead Pokeymans is heartbreaking. Trouble is, I've got a story idea for it, and character plans and everything, and I kind of want to do it, but that means an emulator or drawing, neither of which is ideal because of my awful computer and my awful drawing skills.

And now I'm just monopolising this thread.

Yay Bridget!

Yeah, it also doesn't help that, by the nature of the DS hardware, none of the DS emulators are really all that good, even on top-of-the-line machines.

That said, GBA and earlier should work fine on any machine that's from the Windows XP era or more recent, so if you're not married to the idea of Pearl...

Also, the next update should be out with the next few days. (As usual, if anyone has any ideas at all for any sort of Pokemon nicknames... I'm going to be snagging a Geodude soon, I think, and also, a Bellsprout. And possible Gastly for either 3-I or myself. Really, they don't have to be good, or even clever. Hell, you just want to make it a reference, between the two of us, I'd give good odds that we'll catch it.)

I kind of am. It's probably for the best, given how upset and panicky I got when I tried one before. If I had an audience keeping me honest and having to let them go ... eep.

And make it... Cattle? :smallannoyed: Lady, you aren't helping my rhyme scheme any.

SJ says: Oh no! It's Team Sirloin!

:smallfrown: I really hope there's no cattle around here. I'd hate to have to fight a Miltank or something. Those things are pretty strong.

... I betcha Nellacakes could take one, though. She's been carryin' my bag around like it was nothin'!

Speaking of looking people in the eyes...

Oh god. Martin. Please. Put the net away. That's not even USEFUL for catching Pokémon, they're just gonna rip straight through it.

I kinda miss Private Polisea. I mean, so far, every other trainer is basically terrible, but he could dispatch these thing without ANY effort. He could just like SHRUG at them and they'd fall down. (Better move Banzai to the front and train him up a little.)

And I- whoa, hey, what the heck?

That's... That's the Artificial Pokémon, Porygon! Silph Co. made a huge deal about it five years ago. It's the first Pokémon ever to be made by human beings in cyberspace, then transferred out into the real world!

They're SCARY rare. They're copy-protected so they don't go grey goop and destroy the whole planet. How the heck did THIS douchebag get one?

Geez, this isn't good. Porygon don't play by the normal rules of Pokémon. They don't have genders, they can fly, they can produce attacks out of nowhere... I think they can even change their own TYPE.

... I think they can learn Psychic attacks. So, uhh...

BANZAI!

Eventually I just got so frustrated that I swapped in Moss.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/4-69.png

Yes. While my Pokémon was cutting itself. Which just proves you're pretty abysmal as a trainer. Now will you let me LEAVE? :smallfrown:

Listen, that's cool and all, and I'd love to talk strategy with you, but I have a tiny blue elephant in dire need of medical care. So. Move.

So, FINALLY, we end up getting to the Pokémon center in Violet City. This whole city's a little dingy... Even the Pokémon Center and Pokémart are painted in earth tones to blend in with the older buildings. Nella and the others get some much needed TLC while I chat up the local trainers. And ONE of them...

Ugh.

So, apparently this is a thing that happens? Pokémon disobeying their trainers? I gotta admit, I never heard of it happening to anyone, but... Clearly that is what's going on here.

:smallfrown: Private Polisea wouldn't have disobeyed me. He was my friend. But EEPY's an Outsider, a Pokémon I got in a trade. And that means it's not going to do what I say unless I impress it with badges. And it's going to take more and more badges to keep it happy the stronger it gets. :smallsigh:

SJ says: How do they even KNOW how many badges you have? As far as I can tell, the badges are just, you know, shiny pins. That are kept in a badge case. In your bag. Unless your name is Ash Ketchum. Then you have them pinned to the inside of your shirt.

3-I says: I'm gonna wear 'em in the brim of my cute little hat. :smallsmile: Wait, no, I'd lose them if a tentacool attacked. :smallfrown:

:smallannoyed: Okay. So. I did a dumb thing. I traded a good friend away for a brainless wooly butthole. But I can make this work. They say Faulkner's a flying-type trainer, and Electric type attacks are super-effective against Flying types. EEPY won't obey me... But that might not matter if I can one-shot anything Faulkner throws at me.

Except. Well.


GROUP SHOT!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update3-ZZTeamGroupShot.png

Two of my Pokémon have a fairly serious type disadvantage to Flying-type attacks. One of them is flat-out disobedient, even if it is superpowered. Kermit and Banzai don't have any weakness problems, but they also don't have any super-effective attacks. I just caught Kermit, and he hasn't learned Hypnosis yet. As for Banzai... He's only got physical attacks, but he's not really very strong.

Let's cut to the chase. We're going to need to get some training in. Maybe even catch some more Pokémon. :smallannoyed: This is my determined face. It's the face I use when I'm DETERMINED.

OORAH!

Out in Route 31:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/4-75.png
Oh. My. Gosh. CUUUUUUTE! <3

It's a Hoppip! I've seen them blowing around in the air before! I think they're part Flying type.

LET'S CATCH IT!

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/ef/187Hoppip_GS.png
Number 187, HOPPIP.
The COTTONWEED Pokémon.
Type: Grass-Flying.
Ability: Chlorophyll. (Speed increases in Sunny conditions. The most common ability in the game.)
Height: 1'04". Weight: 1.1 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

This Pokémon drifts and floats with the wind. If it senses the approach of strong winds, Hoppip links its leaves with other Hoppip and grips the ground firmly with its feet to prepare against being blown away. They do enjoy gentle breezes, though. It can be carried away on even the gentlest breeze. It may even float all the way to the next town. It is said that when Hoppip gather in fields and mountains, spring is on the way.

3-I's notes: So, Hoppip, then. Hoppip's pretty adorable. It's pink. It's got a great big face. It gets blown around by the wind. I actually really like this Pokémon in terms of concept and design, because it really helps cement into the game the idea that grass-type Pokémon are not just ones that hang around plants, but ones that actually take on the life cycle of plants. Every stage of its evolution resembles in some way the dandelion, either as a tiny stem, a flower, or the seed heads that disseminate to new areas. It even gets whipped up by the wind like real dandelion seed spores. This must be the way that Hoppip see the world, catching the wind and being carried to new fertile soil!

Sadly... There is simply no denying Hoppip's just a dandelion, a fate it don't deserve. I'm sure it could show its prowess, be a lion, not a mou-ess...

SJ's notes: I've... I've never honestly used one of these before. Statistically, Hoppip and it's evolutions have exactly one thing of the Chikorita line, and that's speed. The Hoppip line has higher defenses than offenses, but, unfortunately, the defense isn't high enough for it to really be meaningful, and that implies that the attack stats are near-abysmal. For the most part, Hoppip gets the same move set as Chikorita - Hoppip getting Mega Drain, Stun Spore and Sleep Powder over Meganium's Reflect, Light Screen, Body Slam and SolarBeam. Finally, while Hoppip has the part-Flying type the only Flying STAB move it gets is Aerial Ace off of the TM, and the Ground immunity in no way compensates for the Quadruple Ice weakness. It does have one thing going for it, though: it gets Synthesis almost out of the bag, which is extraordinarily helpful in the early stages of the game.

3-I adds: And don't dismiss that out of hand. Synthesis is one of the few recovery moves available at this point of the game. It also is going to get access to a lot of status-inducing moves, and its speed is more or less unparalleled, particularly once Sunny Day is in effect. For a while, at least, Hoppip is a good addition to an admittedly already defense-heavy team. (We really need a heavy hitter, and fast.)

So we kept training in the wild all afternoon. And little by little, we started to get stronger.

But let me say one thing.

I'm not tradin' THIS one away. :smallwink:

WORKOUT MONTAGE! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP3MFBzMH2o)

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-1.png

Wooot!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-2.png
Wooooot! :smallwink: Yay, now it can actually do damage on its own!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-3.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-4.png

Yeah we're not going to be needing that, kthx.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-5.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-6.png

Wooooooooooooot!

YES! Finally!

Bite is a dark-type move that does lots of damage. It can even make its opponent flinch instead of attacking! Check it out.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-9.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-A.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-B.png

Look at that. That's beautiful.

So after a while of training (And teaching everyone some new moves, whoo! :smallwink:) it occurred to me that we never really got around to checking out the city. We've mostly just been in and out of the east gate, hitting the Pokémon center and the tall grass. (It's shocking to think that grass used to scare me. :smallsmile:)

So we wandered a bit and found this.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-C.png

Poké-tao, huh?

Let's check it out.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-D.png

Party don't start 'til I-

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-E.png

Whoa.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-F.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-G.png

SJ: Years in the past: THE TRAVELLER HAS COME! "What did you do, Ray?"

3-I says: When someone asks you if you are a Pokégod, SAY YES.

Oh, right. I think I've heard about this place! The center column was made from a gigantic Bellsprout. It's really stable in earthquakes, but it's constantly shaking around because people are always fighting upstairs.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-H.png

What.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-I.png

... Honestly, why does nothing ever live up to my expectations?

Screw it, I'm going to go see if there are any trainaaAAAAHHHH!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-J.png

Holy crap, it friggin' jumped me!

3-I says: No, seriously. I'm still standing next to that woman in the overworld. I just turned and it grabbed me.

It's a ghost! Ghost-types are really amazing! I hear they're totally immune to normal type attacks...

I'm gonna catch it! KERMIT! Hit it with a water gun!
SJ: Just don't cross the streams.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-K.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/ca/092Gastly.png
Number 92, GASTLY.
The GAS Pokémon.
Type: Ghost-Poison..
Ability: Levitate. (Completely immune to Ground-type attacks.)
Height: 4'03". Weight: 0.2 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Said to appear in decrepit, deserted buildings. It has no real shape as it appears to be made of a gas.
When exposed to a strong wind, the gaseous body quickly dwindles away. Groups of this Pokémon cluster under the eaves of houses to escape the ravages of wind. Almost invisible, this gaseous Pokémon cloaks the target and puts it to sleep without notice. It can envelop an opponent of any size and cause suffocation, fainting, and sleep. It wraps its opponent in its gas-like body, slowly weakening its prey by poisoning it through the skin. It can topple an Indian elephant by enveloping the prey in two seconds.

3-I's Notes: Gastly. Gastly, Gastly, Gastly. If you didn't have a Gastly back in the Red and Blue era, then you just weren't cool. Its fully evolved form was WHY people had link cables, where I grew up. It has everything. It looks cool. It evolves into something terrifying. It has staggeringly high special attack, excellent speed, an incredible movepool, the power to be totally unpredictable. Gastly was the reason you CARED about ghost types, and it still stands up well as an evolutionary line.

Is it without drawbacks? No. Its attack stat isn't anything to write home about, and its defensive stats are downright abysmal, but every generation has been chipping away at its limitations. Second-gen's shift away from focus on Psychic types made it a much more viable choice in the metagame, and in 3rd gen, it got Levitate, taking out one of the super-effective weaknesses it had.

I LOVE its design, probably for all the same reasons you do. It looks. AWESOME.
SJ's Notes: Back in the day, I loved Gastly because it made the Fighting Dojo in RBY hilarious to watch. These days? That's just icing on the cake. Which 2nd generation came Shadow Ball, and Ghost-types had a decent STAB move. The only non-lengendary with a higher special attack than Gengar is Alakazam (135 vrs. 130) and Gengar, while not the fastest thing on the market, is still in the top percentiles of speed. That, and it's just cool. It learns Confuse Ray, which is either the best or worst move, depending on whether or not you're on the recieving end. We also have Spite - a move that attacks PP - and the always popular Hypnosis. In short, Gastly is one of the best things on 0 legs.

(+5 Glory Points to SephlidJam!)

Sweet! I wonder what it can do-

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-M.png

:smalleek:

Oh. :smallsigh: Right. I can only carry six Pokémon with me at a time. It must have gotten sent to the storage system.

... :smallsmile: I'm gonna go get it back out!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-N.png
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-O.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-P.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-Q.png

Coooooool.

I think I remember hearing that there are lots of ghosts in Sprout Tower. Maybe if I bring her along that Lick attack will be useful.

(more useful than my stupid terrible emo sheep, anyway. That thing gets more unruly the stronger it gets. Replaced. :smallyuk:)

Oh, hey, wait. Before I go.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-N.png

I check e-mail from the front to the back, I said check e-mail from the front to the back, I said check.

Is that blue hair the source of all your super-powers? Or is it only decorative?
Cra- ugh. :smallannoyed: SINCERELY YOURS,
Youngster Aaron.

Superpowers? What? No. No. This is because of that Tentacool attack. That did not give me any superpowers. Although it DID make me look pretty good in that yellow dress I got. That's pretty super, right? And I guess it's easier to style now. If you want your pigtails to stick out at random angles. :smalltongue:

... The heck was I doing?

Oh, right. Tower.

So I asked some of the trainers in the Pokémon center, and they told me that a valuable secret Technical Machine was being given out at Sprout Tower. It turns out that's the truth.

SJ: SO secret, in fact, that you could almost say that it's properties are hidden...

SJ: Okay that- that was terrible and I apologize.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-R.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-S.png

Always some kind of catch, right? :smallannoyed: Still, we WERE planning on training in here. And beating up every trainer inside. :smallamused:

Let's go get 'em, gang!

First floor!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-T.png

The way of balance, and the way of Pokémon Training... And not knocking over your house. Very zen. :smallcool:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-U.png

... What? N-no, I'm not giggling. N-not at all. :smallwink: S-so your name's Bob. That's c-coool. It's not, y'know. :smallbiggrin: Pfaaahaahahaha!

Could be worse, though. Could be this guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Saget)

S-sorry, right. Proceed. :smallbiggrin:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-V.png

A Bellsprout! In Sprout Tower! That's kind of creative, I guess!

So, Myrtle's really low level, so I ended up switching her out for Moss. She still gained some experience, though, so I kept switching her back in every new Pokémon he sent out. Or. Should I say, every new Bellsprout he sent out? :smallyuk: Seriously. This guy had nothing but Bellsprouts. That's an awful strategy!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-W.png
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-X.png

Shootin' up like a weed. :smallsmile: I ended up switching my whole team in on this guy, actually.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-Y.png
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-Z.png

That and your team had remarkably little variation. I mean, if you're going for a one-type team, that's workable, Gym Leaders do that... Hey, even my team's a little grass-heavy right now. But you have to have more than one species or you're easy. Diversification is the key to winning battles!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-ZA.png

Aww, thanks!

You know anything else interesting?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-ZB.png

That's pretty cool! I think my spine does the same thing.

actually, when you come to think about it, that's a pretty big bellsprout. :smallconfused: How exactly did it get to be big enough to build a tower around? :smalleek: And why was that someone's first idea? "Hey, look! Giant Pokémon! I'm gonna build a tower around it!" :smallfrown: That thing may have been one-of-a-kind.

Anyway. Movin' on. FLOOR TWO!

Wait, those stairs went down. I think I'm on the ground floor again. :smallfrown:

W-wait, seriously, another Bellsprout?

D-don't tell me your entire team is-

It's more than two, isn't it. :smallannoyed:

Yeah, well... That's... actually pretty sage advice. =/

I wouldn't be doing all this fun stuff if it wasn't for my Pokémon cooperating with me. That's pretty cool. (Except for the one that doesn't. :smallyuk:)

Anyway! Third floor!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-ZZD.png

So, Myrtle's really getting up there in levels now! (Also, more Bellsprouts, wtf.)

In fact...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-ZZE.png

Soooo. I wonder what THIS does? :sabine:

3-I says: Curse is... Special. It's of the ??? type, which means it doesn't give STAB to any Pokémon, but that's okay, since it's not a damaging move. Usually, what it does is reduce the user's Speed by one stage, raising their Attack and Defense to compensate. It's used a lot competitively for that purpose.

Buuuut. When a GHOST-Type like Myrtle uses it... Myrtle loses half its HP, but puts a curse on the enemy that makes it lose Ľ of its maximum HP at the end of each turn. This is insanely powerful.

W-well I'm not sure I agree with that, but... it certainly is interesting to think about.

Anyway. Let's keep going.

... What? :smallconfused:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-ZZM.png

Or we could fight, I guess!

... After I beat up his Bellsprout he sort of passed out. I... don't really know what to think about that.

... So I guess I could walk around that next guy, but... He's smiling. He looks awesome.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-ZZN.png

Hell yes. Team Erin is GO.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Update4-3-ZZO.png

You know what bugs me? You guys totally look like you're bald before we start fighting, but then you totally have hair and a beard and everything when you challenge me. What is UP with that?

Anyway, whatever, send out your Bellsprout so I can-

Aaaagh! Myrtle is licking it all over, but it's NOT DOING ANYTHING! Even Hypnosis isn't working on it!

SJ: Is-is it SMILING? Do-does that mean- oh. Oh god.

NELLAAAAA!

Whoa. I didn't realize how late it was. :smalleek:

I guess we better head over to the Pokémon center, heal up, and get some sleep.

*Stomach grumbling*

... Okay, maybe some food, too. I feel like I could eat a whole ham!

I'unno. Hams usually come in two sizes: Large, and Miles Gloriosus.

Half bumping, half question for the crowd:

I was wandering around Route 31, minding my own business, training up my team when a WILD SWABLU appeared.

Any ideas on a name?

Oh, wow, I missed the last update or two!
*reads*
Excellent work all-around, good funny stuff... I've never really used a strong-but-traded earl pokemon, so this is is my first time actually seeing how disobeying works. Coolbeans.

As for a Swablu... Figment for a boy, Ephemeral for a girl.

Deme: You know, I'm not sure I ever remember having a Pokémon disobey me and actually DAMAGE itself before, and I don't know if that's a feature of the hack or just standard for third gen. It's interesting, though, and really makes me disfavor using it... Between all its other problems and this, EEPY gets to live in the box for a bit.

(Also, your names are always awesome and evocative.)

YakYak: I'd still play that version. Seriously.

I picked up Majora's Mask on emulator a few days ago, seeing if I could get farther than the first cycle of days I only managed to get through back when I tried renting the game. The only problem was that I had already read Ben Drowned, and man, I can not look at the Happy Mask Salesman in the same light again, even on my Ocarina of Time 3D...

Hey guys, new to the forum, stumbled across this and liked what you have going. doing my own playthrough (with totodile) and i wanted a fire type to essentially destroy my rival, the second gym and the bellsprout tower too. found a good one in my opinion, growlithe is able to be caught on route 36 (just on the outskirts of violet city, near the crossroads where sudowoodo is) will do a good job against the ecruteak gym alongside my soon to be croconaw. keep it up! :smallbiggrin:

Chapter 5:
FLAME ON! FRIEND QUEST!
Or, I'm Gonna Get You, Faulker!

Okay, so, now that we're all rested up, let's see what the people here have to say:

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_01.png

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_02.pnghttp://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_05.pnghttp://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_06.png

I remember hearing about that on the news. I think. I mean, back then, I was more interested in hearing about how some 10 year old managed to sweep the Kanto Pokemon league. A 10 year old! Beating the best Pokemon Trainers in the country!

Like that could ever happen!

SJ says: I should note that in my head, Aaron is 15, plus or minus a year.

Anyway. I- I think we can do it. We can take that cave.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_07.png

Here goes nothing!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_08.png

H-huh. This. This isn't THAT bad. Looks like a dead end though; let's check out the othe-

And now things are starting to make a little more sense. Let's head out of here and...

OUCH! MOTHEROF-! MY FOOT! What- what did I trip on?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%205/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_02.png

It's. It's a floating rock. With Arms. And a face.

3-I says: How? How did you trip on that? It's like three feet in the air! Friggin' tall people. :smallannoyed:

Whelp! I don't have one yet, so let's get the balls 'a Pokin'!

SJ says: Note to self. Never. Say That. Again.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%205/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_03.png

Okay. Step one: Weaken.

That works!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%205/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_09.png

I did my homework in school. Geodudes learn Explosion. :smallcool:

3-I says: You've got to keep your mind open to the possibilities, Aaron! (http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llktnz2QCA1qg3mmy.jpg)

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/9/98/074Geodude.png/220px-074Geodude.png
Number 74, GEODUDE.
The ROCK Pokémon.
Type: Rock/Ground.
Ability: STURDY (Negates 1-hit KO attacks.)
Height: 1'04". Weight: 44.1 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokémon's heart will remain hard, craggy, and rough always. It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Because they look just like boulders lining paths, hikers may step on them without noticing. Its round form makes it easy to pick up. Some people have used them to hurl at each other in a snowball fight.

SJ's Notes: He's got a rock-solid face, a gravelly voice and an attitude that'll ground you in a second. He's got jaw-dropping Attack and Defense stats, but everything else is just... kinda sad. He's got - okay, I'm done with that. Geodude's one of those Pokemon that showed up in every game until Black and White, and, therefore, is the prototypical Rock/Ground type. By level 16, he's got a STAB move for each type, and Magnitude has a 15% change of being stronger than Earthquake; it averages out to 72 versus Earthquake's 100. Stats-wise, Geodude is a physical powerhouse, with 80 Attack and 100 Defense, but the next highest stat for it's a 40 in HP - Fully evolved, it gets +40 to HP, +50 to Attack and Defense each, but that's just not enough to deal with the fact that it has two x4 weaknesses to Special types (Grass + Water) - to the point where it could be knocked over by a lettuce leaf *hem hem*. Even so, it's a very good 'mon, and it can Earthbend with its face.

3-I's Notes: Geodude's an old classic, though nowadays the metagame has sadly evolved past it a little. Despite its advantages, the rock/ground typing is starting to be more liability than strength; it gets STAB on moves like Earthquake, but Earthquake is so powerful that it's almost worth putting it on something that's, y'know, NOT 4X weak to water. Still, it's a solid defensive wall with some good offensive capability, and Explosion covereth a multitude of sins when you're not running a Nuzlocke.

Design-wise, this is one of the most iconic Pokémon, period. It and each of its evolutions have a distinctive look, craggy and rocky and round and badass. Brock used one in the anime, and, let's be honest, no matter how he struck out with women, we ALL wanted to be Brock. ... Right?

Sweet! Now, of course, if we recall the team-pose from the last chapter, most of my team is underleveled. So, let's do this!

SJ says: In the interest of time, Pick (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lb3MTlIrC4) your (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyJgTTUoBDk) poison (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYN_eVhzsNA&feature=fvwrel)

Along the way...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%205/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_18.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%205/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_19.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/a/a2/069Bellsprout.png/190px-069Bellsprout.png
Number 69, BELLSPROUT.
The FLOWER Pokémon.
Type: Grass/Poison.
Ability: CHLOROPHYLL (Raise Speed in sunshine.)
Height: 2'04". Weight: 8.8 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

A carnivorous Pokémon that traps and eats bugs. It appears to use its root feet to replenish moisture. A Bellsprout's thin and flexible body lets it bend and sway to avoid any attack, however strong it may be. From its mouth, it leaks a fluid that melts even iron. ts bud looks like a human face. Because of the bud, it is rumored to be a type of legendary mandrake plant.

SJ's Notes: For my money, it's almost impossible to talk about Bellsprout without mentioning the other Grass/Poison type that usually appears at the same time - Oddish. Both get the standard suite of Powders (Poison, Sleep and Stun Spore) and Acid as moves, but, where Oddish gets absorption moves and Petal Dance, Bellsprout get Growth. Growth is one of the few stat-boosting moves that are available early in the game, raising SpA by 1 stage, and generally making this Flytrap that much more dangerous. Stat wise, Bellsprout is an offensive 'mon, actually boasting a higher base Attack than Special Attack, and, as a Victreebel, this trend continues. Of course, you do need to use the Sludge Bomb TM to teach any worthwise Poison moves, but that's neither here nor there.

3-I's Notes: Let's talk about Victreebel for a moment, shall we? Victreebel's always been a strong mixed sweeper, with a decent pool of STAB and nonSTAB moves and high enough attack and special attack to use them... And so little speed, defense, and HP as to practically be a joke. And speed. Don't get me started about the speed.

So... Why is this thing still on people's teams? Well, for one thing, despite the fact it was nerfed a little in the middle generations, the fact of the matter is that Victreebel has remained viable in competitive play. A lot of that has to do with Chlorophyll, which gives it a MAJOR speed boost when Sunny Day is in effect, and turns a certain loss into a fighting chance for this scrappy little Pokémon. At present, Victreebel is seen occasionally in EVERY tier of competitive play; properly supported, it can take on things much more dangerous than you'd think.

Bellsprouts are hard to raise, but once you do, everybody better watch out.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/b/bb/165Ledyba.png/150px-165Ledyba.png
Number 165, LEDYBA.
The FLOWER Pokémon.
Type: Bug/Flying.
Ability: SWARM (Ups Bug moves in a pinch.)
Height: 2'04". Weight: 8.8 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Ledyba communicate using a fluid that they secrete from where the legs join the body. They are said to convey feelings to others by altering the fluid's scent. When the weather turns cold, lots of Ledyba gather from everywhere to cluster and keep each other warm. It is very timid. It will be afraid to move if it is alone. But it will be active if it is in a group.

3-I's Notes: Ladybugs are awesome.

Good special defense. Nifty movepool. The ability to morph and to even up the score. No-one will ever take it down. The power lies on its side. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wt6XlVob_E)

SJ's Notes: Ladybugs ARE awesome. Unfortunately, Game Freak doesn't really seem to think that. The best thing this guy's got going for him is Baton Passing Agility boosts, and other Pokemon do that THAT much better. Well, and it's got a Special Defense that's up there with Geodude's Defense.

and...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%205/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_24.png

O-oh my. It's. It's so...

IT'S SO FLUFFY. :redface:

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%205/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_25.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%205/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_01-1.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/99/333Swablu.png
Number 333, SWABLU.
The COTTON BIRD Pokémon.
Type: Normal/Flying.
Ability: NATURAL CURE (Heals upon switching out.)
Height: 1'04". Weight: 2.6 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Swablu has light and fluffy wings that are like cottony clouds. This Pokémon is not frightened of people. It lands on the heads of people and sits there like a cotton-fluff hat. Swablu loves to make things clean. If it spots something dirty, it will wipe and polish it with its cottony wings. If its wings become dirty, this Pokémon finds a stream and showers itself. A Pokémon that has wings like cottony clouds. After enduring winter, in which little food is available, Swablu flocks move closer to towns in the spring.

SJ's Notes: Swablu, in my honest opinion, is adorable. It's the kind of Pokemon I'd want in real life, mostly to snuggle up those wings. But, enough about me. This bird is... well, it's designed on the surface as a wall. With 75 Sp.Def and 60 Defense, Swablu is average for all Flying type Pokemon - ALL of them. It's sub-par in just about every other stat, and as such, has a hard time taking stuff down on its own. But, when it evolves... oh boy, when it evolves. Moveset-wise, it gets a range of moves that are on the offensively weaker side of things, until Take Down at Level 31, but it has a large suite of more defensive moves, including Sing, Safeguard and Mist.

3-I's Notes: Swablu is... Interesting. Almost every other Pokémon that shares its typing is the same... Offense-oriented, built for speed, lacking in meaningful movepool depth and usually totally useless once you leave the forest fulla bugs. Swablu, on the other hand, is built for defense, and has a surprisingly broad learnset. It also evolves into one of the most interesting dragon-types in the game, but more on that later.

SJ says: Glory points to everyone who deserves Glory Points!

O-okay. Now that I have 8 Pokemon, it's time to do a bit of... re-adjustments.

Given the massive dissapointment that is EEPY, I say no. We've got a solid rock/ground, why trade for another?

Yaaaay, glory points! Also, there are some cute new additions to the team here.

...Now that I've thought about him, I can't get over how dissapointing and fail EEPY is. I may just have to remind y'all of that every time I post here. So hopefully he will learn somehow how dissapointed I am.

:smallyuk: Trust me, he knows.

Anyway. It bears noting that the Onix up for trade, ROCKY, actually does have an ability (Rock Head in my attempt), and that Bellsprouts can be caught as low as level 5 in a neighboring area, so there's a good likelihood it won't disobey for a while.

I vote for trading just because otherwise we're not gonna see an Onix for a looooooooooooong time. But then, I'm a fanatic for getting every new face I come across. If I ever did a Poke-LP, it'd have Loads and Loads of Characters (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters).

This except I'd add go back and catch a new bellsprout, give it some suitably annoying name, and then trade that one for the onix. No sense in giving up the pokemon you've spent time training, especially for a pokemon I don't think would even obey you until you beat the next gym.

Well, one of the things I should note is that, as a general rule, Pokemon obtained in in-game trades are the same level as the Pokemon you trade away.

3-I had to train his Poliwag up to Lv. 25 to get it to evolve - which is why EEPY is at 25.

If I trade away a, say, level 6 Bellsprout, Rocky comes to me at Lv. 6.

And I forget what level Pokemon stop obeying you at if you don't have any badges - it's either 10 or 20.

Unless the hack changed it, I'm pretty sure it's 10. But I could be mis-remembering.


Either way I prefer the 'bells over Onix, but getting an Onix early isn't a bad deal. That's why I suggested trading a low level bellsprout.

Great RP so far. Keep it up!

Regarding the glitches you've encountered so far and in particular eepy.

In my game her owner required a poliwag and he did come with the move.

The most bizzare glitch I've encountered is using teleport and ending up in Violet City when you aren't even near finishing of the elite four...

I dunno. I am on version 3.1 and apparently it's 99% fixed? The pokemon tower is glitched, in my game... which is kinda sad.

As for a Growlithe. Puppy+ Fire= Pire= Pyre?

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/c/ca/153Bayleef.png/351px-153Bayleef.png
Number 153, BAYLEEF.
The LEAF Pokémon.
Type: GRASS.
Ability: Overgrow
Height: 3'11". Weight: 34.8 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Bayleef's neck is ringed by curled-up leaves. Inside each tubular leaf is a small shoot of a tree. The spicy fragrance of this shoot makes people peppy. The aroma acts as a stimulant to restore health. Somehow, sniffing it makes you want to fight.

SJ's Notes: As usually, Bayleef mechanically is identically to Chikorita, only with higher stats. Beyond that, it's actually one of my favorite second-stage starter, at least from a design stand point. Honestly, most of the second-stage starters look like they're going through an "Awkward Teenager" stage. Bayleaf, on the other hand, looks like it actually fits well into its form.

3-I's Notes: So Bayleef is essentially that one kid in your high school that went from "cute" to "supermodel" overnight. Which kinda makes the fact Moss smells like "Let's Fight" a little... on-the-nosey.

I like Bayleef's design a LOT, more than even Meganium's. (The flower isn't really doing much for it.) But aside from that, there isn't a whole lot to say about it.

Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh SO AWESOME! Moss, you look amazing!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/3/3d/058Growlithe.png/160px-058Growlithe.png
Number 58, GROWLITHE.
The PUPPY Pokémon.
Type: Fire.
Ability: Intimidate (Upon entry to battle, lowers the active opponent's Attack stat by one stage.)
Height: 2'04". Weight: 41.9 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:
Friendly and loyal, but also jealously protective of its territory. If it detects an unknown smell, it roars loudly to force out the intruder. Carelessly approaching it may result in a bite. It has a brave and trustworthy nature. It fearlessly stands up to bigger and stronger foes. Extremely loyal, it will fearlessly bark at any opponent to protect its own Trainer from harm.
Growlithe has a superb sense of smell. Once it smells anything, this Pokémon won't forget the scent, no matter what. It uses its advanced olfactory sense to determine the emotions of other living things.

SJ's Notes: Fast, ferocious and fiery. Also, alliterative. But, anyway, Growlithe is a solid Fire type, and it starts off right off the bat with Bite. It's got base 70 Attack stats, and base 60 speed, meaning Of course, in the end, it ain't nothin' but a hound dog.

3-I's Notes: They said it was high class, and that was the gospel truth. Now, Growlithe and its bigger, badder evolved form Arcanine have always been a bit of an underdog- I know, I'm sorry- in the metagame, but that isn't anything to do with them. Other common things prey on its weaknesses, but that doesn't mean this little pup will be cruel or leave you hanging 'round heartbreak hotel. With one mighty roar it can make opponents surrender, feeling like they Got Stung, and running away to Return to Sender.

... Viva Las Vegas.

(+5 glory points to Deme. Had to do it. Imagine an Arcanine in one of those white and gold outfits he wore.)

Dear Erin,
I was just wondering what your current status with the Pokémon is?
Bug Catcher Jordan,

Uhh, let's see... Erin... with the Pokémon — Current Status: They all still think I'm awesome.

Y'know, what can I say? I'm a Pokémon magnet. A super trainer. An... algorithm for the... attacking... Pokémon who-

Yeah, I gotta go.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-W.png

Oh, so that's what this thing is for. I've just sorta been letting them rumble around loose in my bag.

Okay, let's put 'em all inside.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-X.png

Whoa. :smalleek: Thunder. That's a majorly high-level move. I hear that was how that champion beat the Elite 4 three years ago.

.... :smallfrown: Why do all the schizophrenics I meet have majorly powerful Pokémon stuff?

Oh well. I wonder whether any of my Pokémon can learn it.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-Y.png

... Nah... Don't want to teach this to Myrtle. I already made her learn another move a little while back called Night Shade, and for that she had to forget Spite. I'm still not sure if that was a good decision.

SJ says: Night Shade - Deal damage equal to the user's level. Spite - removes 2-5 PP from whatever move the opponent used last.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZA.png

Then again, an electric-type attack- One NOT on the brainless wooly butthole :smallyuk:- Might turn the tide against Faulkner.

Even so, most flying types are at least part Normal type. The hoothoots and pidgeys around here haven't even been able to TOUCH Myrtle, so that might just be gilding the lily. Of course, Myrtle can't actually fight BACK at the moment... :smallsigh:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZB.png

Oh. uh. Hey.

sup

:smallconfused: Wait, where the hell am I? I was walking without paying any attention.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZC.png

Okay. Found my way back.

Let's take a quick look at my Pokémon and figure out which of them would be the best to take on that gym.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZD.png

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZE.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZF.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZG.png

Like I've already said, Myrtle's probably going to be more or less totally immune to most of what Faulkner might throw at me. But she can't really fight back.

SJ: Myrtle has the second Highest SpA, excepting that Thundersheep. Of course, she doesn't have any offensive moves worth mentioning; although Curse and Night Shade might be able to compensate for that.

3-I says: In the general case, SJ's correct. In the SPECIFIC case, Myrtle isn't that great an offensive choice; short of Curse, she has no way of damaging a Normal type, and every Pokémon in Faulkner's gym is Normal-Flying.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZH.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZI.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZJ.png

Pippin is actually a really excellent defensive wall. I've seen him take super-effective critical hits and only lose a few points of damage. And he's got Synthesis. He's probably coming along too.

SJ: In addition to being a wall, it's got the twin Powders, which basically turn him into a status engine.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZK.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZL.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZM.png

Out of everything I have right now, Kermit's probably the one that can hit the hardest faster than anyone else. Plus he has Hypnosis.

SJ: Not much to add here. Kermit's just tough.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZN.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZO.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZP.png

Elvis packs a hell of a whallop. He hasn't got any real advantages over flying types, but he IS intimidating.

SJ: And, of course, Elvis knows Roar. Which, if things get hairy, can force a switch if needed.

3-I says: I'm not sure I've ever used Roar in a trainer battle in-game. I really ought to start.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZQ.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZR.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZS.png

Moss might even be a better defensive wall than Pippin. He takes less damage, even if he doesn't have a good recovery move.

SJ: Not to mention that Moss has a much better offense with Razor Leaf.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZT.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZU.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZV.png

My BFF Nella is at a major type disadvantage. She's strong, but one measly little Gust could put her WAY too close to being KO'd. Still, she's got good defense, so maybe if they don't know any flying type moves? I can't imagine a gym leader with Flying-types wouldn't teach them Gust...

3-I says: She's wrong. I know. Shush.

SJ: Not to mention that she doesn't know that good of moves yet.

3-I adds: She doesn't have the attack stat to support Tackle, either. If only I could teach HER thunder.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZW.png

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZX.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZY.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZZ.png

I hate the stupid sheep, but it's BOUND to be stronger than anything he can throw at it. It has type advantage, level advantage... Even if it's a total JERK and doesn't listen to me for a few turns, it can take enough hits so that when it finally decides to wise up and thundershock, it'll still have the juice.

... that doesn't feel like winning, though. That feels like cheating. If I won my badge that way, it wouldn't be because I'm a good trainer. :smallfrown: i miss polisea. I wonder how Miguel is treating him...

SJ: I really don't have much more to add here. EEPY's a wild card, at best.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZZA.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZZB.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/5-ZZC.png

In fairness, I was cocky BEFORE I met you. But thanks for the advice.

What? They're right. Electric trumps flying. If you have a problem with that maybe you ought to... I'unno, seek therapy or something.

Well, at least you know that now. Smell ya later.

I'm gonna go crash at the Pokémon Center.

Okay, uh... Guess I'm gonna go meet that assistant guy, then.

Ummm... thanks, but no thanks for now. Alfalfa's nice, and I've got Bumi, and... thanks though.

Anyway, back to training!

... And he just ran off. What. the hell. :smallsigh:

People are stupid.

On the other hand, I've never been inside an actual Pokemon Gym before! Much less with my own Pokemon! Thi-this is actually really exciting. Hey, what's this?

Huh. Oh, okay. Sure, I guess.

3-I says: Imagine what this guy would be like at a laundromat. "Hey, champ-in the making! Remember, whites should always be washed in hot water with bleach!" Or at an open mic contest. Or polling booth.

... Thanks? I'm sure that's helpful... but, really? That's the best information you've got for me? No tips on offense? Just, "Don't use Grass Pokemon."

:sigh:

Okay. Shake this. Let's do this!

FIRST TRAINER:

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_26.png

And then, three Pecks later...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_37.pngmy SPEAROW was defeated!

Yeah, being paid by commission really bites, doesn't it?

3-I recommends... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI7y7ZkkOJs)

Ephmeral, skip the accompaniment and go straight the chorus.

Trust me, beating you is nothing to get cocky about. Just sayin'.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_51.png

Okay. Deep Breaths. Aaaaaaand. Presses A.

They can, and they do, and you know what? They're right.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_55.png

...

Heh heh heh.

Ha ha ha ha ha HA HA ha ha!

HAHAHAHAH- ha.

You know what?

I understand you. You've spent all your life training with the bird Pokemon, next to your dad. Learning the ways of the elegant Flying type, training be the very best. And what? What's all you hear? People jeering and sneering that a yellow rat or an emo sheep can come in a paralyze your birds, grounding them. That's not cool.

The good news is, I can't do any of that. I have no electric types on my team.

What I can do, however, is throw rocks at them. How does that sound?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_56.png

Oh. You're angry now. I like this. :smallamused:

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_59.png

That's not working quite as well as I had hoped.

I see. Your aim is no longer measurable. Time to switch you out for-

A-alright! I will! Thanks Mr. Crazy Bird-man-dude!

:biggrin:

You know it.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_106.png

... Damnit. Why wasn't this here before. ALL of those jerks beat me? :smallsigh: At least it isn't raini-

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_107.png

I hate everything.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_108.png

OY! Wait. I forgot I put this thing on vibrate.

...

Seriously? Well, at least I don't have to walk all the way back to New Bark. That would just be annoying.

But, first:

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_112.png

Okay, now. What's up?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_113.png

That's... only a little creepy. But, okay.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_114.png

Why am I not surprised? :smallsigh: What is it this time?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_115.png

...

:eek:

W-what? You- you want ME to take the egg? Okay... sure. Why not?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_116.png

What.

Apparently eggs count as Pokemon now? Well, isn't THAT just spendiferous.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_117.png

Goodbye and good riddance. (Honestly, I don't know why I didn't do that sooner.)

3-I says: Laaaaaaaame. Come on, you know this spider's the 8oss. Don't 8e h8n.

Let's try this again!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_118.png

YES!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_119.png

DA DA DA DA! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGE0P_jWWSg)

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_120.png

GENIUS! And next, he'll discover that unborn babies develop in the womb!

Well, gee... when you put it like that... :smallredface:

3-I adds: I'd like to think this closes the plothole of how nobody ever noticed that Pokémon have eggss. What with all the schmucks who only have one or two Pokémon, nobody but protagonists have ever had a full party to help them grow. Hence, the Pokémon would refuse. Obvious, in retrospect.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_123.png

Sure, why not?

Anyway, what kinda egg-thing is this, any way?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_124.png

You and me both.

Anyway. I need to do some walking around with this things (apparently), so I guess it's SHOPPING TIME!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_125.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_126.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_127.png

Thank you, random old lady whom I've never met before! Now, to the actual shopping!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_129.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_130.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_131.png

Granted, I hope I don't need any of these, but it never hurts to be safe. No need for Pokeballs, though. I have like 15 of those.

3-I says: Madness. You can never have enough Pokéballs. Magical balls that make monsters your friends!

Then again, Nellaphant does pick up most of the other stuff I need to stave off statuses.

Anyway, it was a nice bright sky with not a cloud in sight when I came here, so let's head on out and-

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_132.png

I swear the world's trying to drown me.

And I don't like the way that guy's looking at me. Let's just sneak on by and...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_133.png

Who asked you? And why do make that sound like you want to serve them with a side of potatoes?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_134.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_135.png

Yeah. Helpful. All 3 battles. As opposed to the hours of training outside before hand. Right. Though, if gyms actually worked like, you know, regular gyms, this might be a different story.

:smalleek: R-really? You're just... giving this to me? O-okay. Sure, thanks!

3-I says: A whole world of new adventures and getting gifts from dangerous lunatics await! Let's go!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_140.png

I won't waste anytime with doing that then. Now, let's keep going!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_146.png

As a matter of fact, I do! You got a problem with that? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzPBUGUM7KQ)

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_147.png

ALFALFA! GO!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_148.png

You like that?

Hm. A Nidoran, eh? Bumi?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_149.png times! It's super effective!

... CURSE YOU DOUBLE KICK! :smallfurious: Bumi, get out of there!

This should do nicely.

I like the way you think. But, honestly, you should try to use more than 2 Pokemon. Just sayin'

Hey! Sweet! Specialty ball!

3-I says: The Nest Ball is a specialty ball that works best on low-leveled Pokémon. On wild 'mons under level 19, it has a capture rate of 3. An Ultra Ball only has a capture rate of 2. Shiny.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_163.png

Okay. Aaron. There's a girl over there. If you make eye contact you have to fight. Just walk on by with out looking at her - c'mon, you can do it

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_164.png

HEY!

Huh? Oh, damnit.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_165.png

Here we go again...

3-I says: :smalleek: ... Goodnight, everybody! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUaZ89rWWPI&t=06s)

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_168.png

You found "some" good Pokemon. And yet, you only have one... people these days...

3-I says: Maybe it's a Dugtrio. Or Exeggcute. Or Magneton.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_169.png

Okay, okay. I guess that counts as two Pokemon.

Ephemeral?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_170.png

:smallbiggrin:

Now, peck it! Peck! PECK!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_171.png

Clearly, that's not working. Alfalfa?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_173.png

Oh boy. This isn't going to end well, is it?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_174.png

Hate it when I'm right.

3-I adds... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKrwlgiYn-c)

Okay. When the chips are down, and you've got nowhere to really turn?

AMBER! FIX THIS!

Nope. Not when my girl Amber's on the job :smallbiggrin:

Okay, everyone's looking a little haggard.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_181.png

Just gotta get by this guy:

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_180.png

to get to that Pokecenter there. Here goes nothing!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_182.png

what.

...

You honestly think I HAVE that kinda money? Seriously? :smallyuk:

No need to tell ME twice!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_187.png

Step 1) Heal up the team. While that's happening...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_188.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_189.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_190.png

SJ: Whelp, G'night everybody! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUaZ89rWWPI&t=25s)
3-I says: Hey, wait, we've done that joke already.
SJ says: ... Rule of 3?
3-I says: I don't see anywhere else to put it, do you?
SJ says: Goodnight everybody! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUaZ89rWWPI&t=37s)

Sure, why the hell not.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_191.png

Sweet! Now I can go fishing and stuff! But, now's as good of a time as any to take a look at how everyone's doing, before I go explore this area a little more in depth.

POKE ROLL CALL!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_197.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_198.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_199.png

Emphermal: My go-to gal for putting things to sleep. She's not the best offensively, but when peck hurts, it REALLY hurts.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_200.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_201.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_202.png

Alfalfa: Needs more training. She hasn't quite hit her prime yet: where she gets all of the status-effect causing moves, but when she does, it'll be glorious.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_203.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_204.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_205.png

Bumi: Halfway to where he needs to be at this stage of the game - just hasn't picked up his other early-STAB move yet, but even then, a solid choice.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_206.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_207.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%206/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_208.png

Bridget: I don't think I need to say much here.

Amber: <3

Sorry for the delay, folks. Summer got the best of both of us. We're working on a larger-than-normal mega-update, though, which we expect to get out within about a week month Jhonka's age. We'll keep you posted. We'll post it when it's done sometime before we die..

First and foremost, my deepest apologies for the delay. Life gets in the way some times - and while I'm back in a place to continue with updates, 3-I's not exactly there.

3-I adds: Thankfully, the next update is mooostly all prepared, but that last little bit takes time that life isn't affording me right now.

We'll figure out what we're doing soon, I hope, but in the meantime, Aaron just made it through the Union Cave (we'll go back and visit the cave itself in the actual update).

Let's Play Pokemon Liquid Crystal Tag Team Edition

Today's episode:

Update 7: DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii239/CL4M9/CrystalTrainer.gif

ERIN
Yeah... What were we up to again?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-1.png

Went shopping!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-2.png

Rejiggered the party!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-3.png

What do you mean, somehow? :smallmad:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-4.png

Okay. I'm fresh, I'm rested. Let's get it started. READY STEADY GO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYbLdb_mUsw). :smallcool:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-5.png

So, while Pippin's a really good defensive wall and status engine, the fact of the matter is that its weaknesses and its low attack powers render it kind of redundant in my already defense-heavy team. With Moss and Nella standing up so well, I decided to put Pippin into my box. I'm restructuring my team.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-6.png

also, this guy told me to.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-7.png

Yyyyyes! :smallsmile:

I am super excited about all this. I'm going to be the first trainer to ever raise a Pokémon from an egg! At least, in Johto.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-9.png

:smallsmile:

Okay, it's time to go. Goldenrod city awaits! I'm super excited about that too.

Party don't start 'till I-

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-8.png

:smalleek: Holy crap.

What is up with that SKY? It's...

I've heard about this. :smalleek:

SJ says: It's the end-of-days.

... Red sky in the morning... Trainers take warning.

:smallfrown:

... You know what? No. I'm not going to let this get to me. I'm totally awesome, super badass, a Gym champion and I've got an amazing team. Nothing's gonna get in my way!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-A.png

... You're in my way.

This is definitely the path to Goldenrod. But it's blocked. By this weird, wiggly looking tree.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-A.png

:smallmad:

I NEED to get through there! There's a bug catching contest in a few days! And a gym! And shopping! Everything I NEED is this way! And some stupid tree is-

:smallsigh: Calm. Calm down. We can do this.

If I put my bag down on this side, I can prooobably squeeze by on the left side. Then I grab it, slide through, and I'm there.

Ready... Go!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-A.png

What th- It blocked me! :smalleek:

... No, that's ridiculous. There must just be a root or something I stepped on to make it move. Besides, there's enough room on the other side for me to juuuust....

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-A.png

Rgh- It blocked me again!

... and I definitely didn't step on anything.

Okay, what if I-

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-A.png

Okay, how about if I go over here and-

SJ says: Do the wiggle, yeah! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JwiDkibkGM) Also, I'm sorry for that

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-A.png

Oh, a WISEguy, eh? :smallmad:

How about UP AND OVER THE-

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-A.png

Aack! :smalleek:

It grabbed me and threw me to the ground!

:smallfrown: ... This is dangerously close to becoming tentacle hentai.

I need to go through here. But how? It won't let me!

Should... Should I headbutt it?

...

Uh, gimme a second to consult my map card.

INTERMISSION


= = = = ~~~ (-o-) - - - (o'.'o) Pikaa? = = = =

POKéMON! POKéMON! POKéMON CHANNEL!

Okay everybody back in here, I figured it out. And went out and did it.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/1/18/Johto_Ruins_of_Alph_Map.png

So, just outside of town there's this set of ruins from an ancient Johtoan culture that lived as early Pokémon trainers. It's supposed to have been here for hundreds of thousands of years. Now it's an archaeological dig site that's open to the public.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/d/dc/Ruins_of_Alph_anime.png

It's supposed to have this sliding-panel puzzle of an ancient Pokémon which nobody has ever been able to solve. I figure, I've always been pretty good at jigsaw puzzles, so why not try it out for myself? :smallsmile: Archaeology is fun!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/7e/HGSS_Ruins_of_Alph-Day.png

Except when I got here...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/1636-PokemonLiquidCrystalUSquirrels.png

... What a fuggin' gyp. :smallannoyed:

So yeah. What's going on up here?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-B.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-C.png

Tremor? What tremor?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-D.png

... Okay, fine. What's up with the wall?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-E.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-F.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-G.png

Really! Strange symbols appearing on walls of untouched, pristine ancient ruins isn't totally friggin' commonplace? Gosh and golly! :smalltongue:

(nice spelling there by the way)

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-H.png

Yeah, okay. I'll take a whack at it. (Not that I really know anything about this stuff.)

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-J.png

SJ says: Tceles B Hsup!

...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-I.png

Shut up, I'm thinking.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-J.png

...

...

Yeah, I got nothing. :smallfrown:

3-I says: What you would expect to happen here doesn't happen. I tried hammering on A for a few seconds, and the wall didn't even pop up a dialogue box.

If you already KNOW what you're supposed to do here...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-K.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-L.png

It doesn't work either. :smallfrown:

Welp, this place is dead. Movin' on.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-N.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-O.png

Given that I can't get to Goldenrod by the direct route, this seems like the best available path. It's a little more roundabout, but... Hey, not like I'm exactly spoiled for choice.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-P.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-Q.png

Yoink.

Hey, whatcha got there, Nella?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-S.png

Hookay. Tall grass. Alright. We can do this.

In fact, there's no reason to be afraid. I've got an awesome team that can keep me safe. In fact, I bet there's a whole bunch of new and fascinating Pokémon in there!

C'mon guys! Let's go catch the first thing we-

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-T.png

NO. :mad:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-V.png

Sure do, mister. I'm the best trainer since sliced bread.

... That didn't come out right.

Anyway, let's go. I wanna see what you've got!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-W.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-X.png

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-Z2.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-Z3.png

Ack! :smalleek: Oh no! :smallfrown:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-Z4.png

Oh.

... Huh.

Okay. :smallsmile:

But let's not do that again. ELVIS!

That's the best thing. Good for you! :smallwink:

But, uh... Maybe get a better favorite than Ratatta. :haley:

And we're walking!

Woot! Way to go, Kermit! You're the best at this!

Dexentry dexentry DEX ENTRY!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/0/0b/204Pineco.png/145px-204Pineco.png
Number 204, PINECO.
The BAGWORM Pokémon.
Type: BUG.
Ability: Sturdy (Resists OHKO!)
Height: 2'00". Weight: 15.9 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

It looks just like a pine cone. Pineco hangs from a tree branch and patiently waits for insect prey to come along. If the Pokémon is disturbed while eating by someone shaking its tree, it drops down to the ground and explodes with no warning.
It likes to make its shell thicker by adding layers of tree bark. The additional weight doesn't bother it. Its shell protects it from bird Pokémon that peck it by mistake.

SJ's Notes: Pineco is a TANK. Base 90 Defense, right out of the box. Back in the day, it was the only Pokemon to learn Spikes. At all. It doesn't have much in terms of other stats; or anything much in terms of offense outside of blowing itself up. It evolves into Forrestress, which is the same thing, only tankier - and Steel-typed!

3-I's Notes: So Pineco is based off real-life animal, the Bagworm, which really does use things like refuse and tree bark to weave itself a protective shell. (Burmy and Wormadam would have this schtick later on.) Ironically, this is one of those few times I can think of where a Pokémon is listed as predatory when the real-life animal is herbivorous; though bagworms are considered an agricultural pest and a hazard due to their introduction to areas in which they're not native, they don't really have "prey."

Anyway. Pineco. Pine cones are pretty cool. Brock had one of these for a while. I think it's pretty sweet, even if it is another defense specialist on an already defense-heavy team.

Do I even look like I have that much money?!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZL.png

Fine. Smell you later, weirdo.

Ooh, a Pokémon center.

Oh! Oh, you mean fishing rods! :smallredface:

Y-yes! Thank you!

Oh gosh. It'll be soooon...

Okay. Let's go check out this rod. I saw a nice hilly spot near the water that I don't think was taken...

Th-Thanks. :smallconfused:

SJ says: Goths. Why did it have to be goths.

:smallsigh: I'm gonna have to get used to crazy people giving me stuff, aren't I?

Moving on.

This one was so cute I didn't even get a good look at it before I caught it!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/7/78/194Wooper.png/195px-194Wooper.png http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Crystal/Update%2023/YippyLikesHamburgers.jpg
Second image by/Apologies to Chocorojo.
Number 194, WOOPER.
The WATER FISH Pokémon.
Type: WATER/GROUND.
Ability: Water Absorb (Turns water to HP!)
Height: 1'04". Weight: 18.7 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Wooper usually live in cold water, half burying itself in mud at the bottom to sleep. However, it occasionally comes out onto land in search of food, when the temperature cools in the evening. On land, it coats its body with a gooey, toxic film to keep its skin from dehydrating. Touching it barehanded will cause a shooting pain.

SJ's notes: As awesome as Woopers are... I've never liked them. Mostly because, usually, I'm the idiot with the Cyndaquil and the Mareep, and with them being Water/Ground... yeah. Stats-wise, it's got great HP, pretty good Attack and Defense, decent SpA and SpD and then there's its Speed stat... (it's evolved form has the same breakdown, abet with bigger numbers) In other news, it gets Earthquake (a move with everyone should always teach everything) at 36, and Amnesia - which raises its mediocre-at-best SpD by 2 stages per use - at 21.

3-I's notes: In addition to being the most adorable thing ever and based off Axolotls, which are some truly fascinating animals (http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species:_Wooper), a Wooper was the real star of a certain LP in whose footsteps ours must necessarily walk. (http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Crystal/)

I like Wooper. It's awesome.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/a/af/102Exeggcute.png/200px-102Exeggcute.png
Number 102, EXEGGCUTE.
The EGG Pokémon.
Type: GRASS/PSYCHIC.
Ability: Chlorophyll (Speed is doubled in sunny weather!)
Height: 1'04". Weight: 5.5 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

A Pokémon that is like the seeds of a plant. If you find one and chase it, others will join it without you noticing.

This Pokémon consists of six eggs that form a closely knit cluster. The six eggs attract each other and spin around. There must be 6 heads for it to maintain balance. Using telepathy only they can receive, they always form clusters of six. If even one is separated from the group, the energy bond between the six will make them rejoin instantly.

The shell is very durable. Even if it cracks, it can survive without spilling the contents. When cracks increasingly appear on the eggs, Exeggcute is close to evolution.

SJ's Notes: The Eggacting nature of this Pokemon's Eggsistance is Eggstremely astounding.

...

Okay, I'm done here. Exeggcute has a surprisingly high Defense stat. (Are you noticing a theme? Because I'm noticing a theme.) It also has decent HP and offensive stats, leaving the SpD and Speed stats to the wayside. It also gets Hyponsis, Reflect and Leech Seed before level 15. It evolves via a Leaf Stone at whatever level you want to evolve it at in Exeggutor. Which is a tree. With Coconuts for faces. On legs.

It's Awesome, and it more than doubles it's Special Attack Stat.

3-I's Notes: Although it's suffered in more recent generations, Exeggcute and Exeggutor have been a defensible part of the UU metagame since the beginning as a very strong special attacker. Psychic types were overpowered in the beginning, and afterwards, its special attack stat and Chlorophyll kept it in the running using Sunny Day.

In the original Gold and Silver, though, it was even more of a monser, for one reason: it learned Hypnosis and Nightmare. Nightmare was an attack that took a solid fraction of HP off every turn. Add Leech Seed to that, and you essentially had a Pokémon that could sit and wait, healing every turn, whilee your sleeping 'mon's health drained away. Effortlessly.

Yeah, that didn't last to Gen 3.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/6/6b/175Togepi.png/160px-175Togepi.png
Number 175, TOGEPI.
The SPIKE BALL Pokémon.
Type: NORMAL.
Ability: Hustle (Increases the user's Attack stat by 50%, but lowers the Accuracy of the user's physical moves by 20%. Special and Status moves are unaffected. From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if the Pokémon with Hustle is leading the party, then Hustle increases the chance of battling a higher-leveled wild Pokémon by 50%.)
Height: 1'00". Weight: 3.3 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

As its energy, Togepi uses the positive emotions of compassion and pleasure exuded by people and Pokémon. This Pokémon stores up feelings of happiness inside its shell, then shares them with others. A proverb claims that happiness will come to anyone who can make a sleeping Togepi stand up. It is said that it will share good luck when treated kindly.

SJ's Notes: Togepi is fundamentally a support Pokemon. Yawn, Encore, Wish, Safeguard, Follow Me... while it doesn't have much in the way of offensive moves (AncientPower and Double-Edge, and probably Metronome.), it's a good fit for just about any team. Plus it's adorable and Misty had one.

3-I's Notes: I don't have much to say about Togepi... This is my first time ever using it seriously. I do anticipate good things out of it because of its ability, and might make it my primary attacker if I can find TMs that work for that purpose. I'unno. We'll see.

Well, I mean, most of the bits of it are still there, but I got one that's a half-dozen broken eggs too, so I don't know if this is normal or something.

:smallfrown:

Okay. Back to your regularly scheduled Pokéromp.

So, on the way back, I discovered something.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZS.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZT.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZU.png

John doesn't have any real offensive moves. What he DOES have is this:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZV.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZX.png

SJ says: Metronome. It is at once the best move and the worst move. It is at once Super Effective and Not Very Effective. It is both its own move and every other move. When used, Metronome picks one random move. It's unpredictable, to be sure, but extremely effective when it works.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZ.png

Barely survived that one. Got lucky. Need to train harder, and fast, if I want John on my team.

We got jumped by a bunch of eggs...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZ1.png

Who proceeded to shell themselves and raise their defenses. One attack would take John down. But with Metronome...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZ3.png

Of course, that doesn't mean he's, uh, sturdy at all, but...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZ6.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZ7.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZ8.png

He's LUCKY. Give him that.

Finally, he hits something useful:

Except it didn't do enough damage. So I quickly did this...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZC.png

And the Uproar stopped...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZD.png

But then I realized we were out of juice and out of time.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZE.png

We had to be lucky.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/6-ZZZF.png

We were.

:smallwink: Hard-fought victory. He SOARED in levels.

Soo... What else is going on?

Oh, right!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c6/322Numel.png
Number 322, NUMEL.
The NUMB Pokémon.
Type: FIRE/GROUND.
Ability: Oblivious (Prevents Attraction!)
Height: 2'04". Weight: 52.9 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Numel is extremely dull witted - it doesn't notice being hit. However, it can't stand hunger for even a second. This Pokémon's body is a seething cauldron of boiling magma. Numel stores magma of almost 2,200 degrees F within its body. If it gets wet, the magma cools and hardens. In that event, the Pokémon's body grows heavy and its movements become sluggish.

SJ's Notes: The Magma Camel. I'm not sure what else needs to be said about this guy. It's got pretty good Offensive stats, decent defenses... and no speed worth mentioning. It also gets a bounty of good STAB moves: Flamethrower and Earthquake naturally.

3-I's Notes: Fire/Ground. FIRE/GROUND. FIRE/GROUND. Don't tell me that's not awesome. Those are two of the best offensive types in the game. Having him at this stage of the game... I don't know how it's going to change my strategy, but I'm sure it will.

Lost some images here and started fresh a while later. For the record, I nicknamed it Eeyore.

Here's my party when I started again.

YES!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/5a/116Horsea.png
Number 116, HORSEA.
The DRAGON Pokémon.
Type: WATER.
Ability: Swift Swim (Increases the user's Attack stat by 50%, but lowers the Accuracy of the user's physical moves by 20%. Special and Status moves are unaffected. From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if the Pokémon with Hustle is leading the party, then Hustle increases the chance of battling a higher-leveled wild Pokémon by 50%.)
Height: 1'04". Weight: 18.0 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Horsea eats small insects and moss off of rocks. If the ocean current turns fast, this Pokemon anchors itself by wrapping its tail around rocks or coral to prevent being washed away. If it senses danger, it will reflexively spray a dense black ink from its mouth and try to escape. This Pokemon swims by cleverly flapping the fins on its back.

SJ's notes: The littlest Dragon, and it is adorable. It's also got a Rockin' Defense and SpA stat and it's decently fast, but it doesn't has much else, stat-wise. It's movepool isn't the best thing ever, it evolves (eventually) into the very-statwise balanced Kingdra, which is also part Dragon. Which is cool.

3-I's Notes: Did they never make a squirt-gun shaped like Horsea? Why did they never make a squirt-gun shaped like Horsea? I'd have bought one.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/0c/042Golbat.png
Number 42, GOLBAT.
The BAT Pokémon.
Type: POISON/FLYING.
Ability: Inner Focus (Prevents Flinching!)
Height: 5'03". Weight: 121.3 Lbs. (It's nearly as big as Erin!)
Pokédex Information:

Golbat loves to drink the blood of living things. It is particularly active in the pitch black of night. This Pokémon flits around in the night skies, seeking fresh blood. Its fangs easily puncture even thick animal hide. It flits about in darkness and strikes from behind. It clamps down on its prey with needle-sharp fangs and drains over 10 ounces of blood in one gulp. Once it strikes, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly. It can change its blood type to match its victims.

Eh. Questions later. Catching now!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/5d/010Caterpie.png
Number 10, CATERPIE.
The WORM Pokémon.
Type: BUG.
Ability: Shield Dust (Negates all status effects that are the side effects of other moves!)
Height: 1'00". Weight: 6.4 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Caterpie has a voracious appetite. It can devour leaves bigger than its body right before your eyes. From its antenna, this Pokémon releases a terrifically strong odor. Its short feet are tipped with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls. It is covered with a green skin. When it grows, it sheds the skin, covers itself with silk, and becomes a cocoon.

SJ's notes: One of the two original basic bugs, Caterpie had a lot more going for it than Weedle, including a better diversity of vowels in its name. While Weedle's Poison Sting tended to give it the edge in the annoyance department, Caterpie, in my opinion, evolves into the superior Buttefree. Stats-wise, Caterpie is WHO CARES, and its moveset is Tackle and String Shot. Once it becomes a Butterfree, it has strong Special stats, and decent speed and HP. It also gets the Status Powder suite, Psybeam and Confusion... except because of this Caterpie's high level, it'll miss out on Confusion. :smallfrown:

3-I's Notes: Kitty!

Here's my team as well.

Also, I want people to pick my team for the up-coming gym for me. I *could* just go in with Amber and Bumi, but that just doesn't seem fair.

So, you all get to pick the 3 Pokemon I'm going to use primarily in the gym, with the following rules:

* I can only use those Pokemon in battles, unless all of them faint (in which case, I send out Amber, and burn the gym down)
* I get 1 trip to the Pokemon Center, and that's just before the gym leader.
* No matter what Pokemon get chosen, I can't level-grind to beyond Level 18 * I am grinding every member chosen to at least Level 15.
* Other rules may be suggested; however, I make no guarantee of following them.

So yeah, pick your top 3 choices.

Anyway, my team:

As for Seph's team for the coming gym battle, I personally want to see some bug-at-bug combat. I think Harbinger and Red Ranger are good choices, maybe with Bridget as a third, or Alfalfa. (So someone aside from me is facing a gym with a type disadvantage.)

Let's Play Pokemon Liquid Crystal Tag Team Edition

Today's episode:

Update 8: THEY FIGHT CRIME

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii239/CL4M9/CrystalTrainer.gif

ERIN

I. Spent. HOURS. Looking. For that friggin' doll. I searched every last square of that cave and found NOTHING. I even headbutted one of the walls! It hurt! :smallfrown:

And when I got back out of there?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-1.png

Kid wasn't even there.

Uuuuugh. :smallyuk:

I'm NOT going looking for him.


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-2.png

Some time later...

So, just about the most interesting feature in town is the house of an old man by the name of Kurt.

SJ says: Or, more accurately, his nose.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-3.png

Kurt was a really big deal in Johto a few decades ago, before Silph Co. mass-produced and standardized Pokéballs. See, back in the old days...

SJ says: Before facial reconstruction surgery

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-4.png

People made Pokéballs out of these things. Apricorns. When fitted with a special device, Apricorn fruit could be used as a power source, one suitable to create a primitive capture net, and hold Pokémon in stasis in energy form.

I don't know why people stopped using them. I think the ones Silph produces are cheaper than maintaining an Apricorn bush (They're REALLY fragile and you can't pick more than one Apricorn per day), and can be made much faster... But I think more than that, it's the fact that Apricorn balls were sort of... unreliable.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c2/Apricorn.png

It's not that they didn't work, they work great! It's just that, well... They didn't all have the same effects. Some balls would be better at catching some Pokémon, and some would do better against others. And, well, that's sort of a detriment if you don't know exactly what kind of Pokémon you're going to encounter. Silph Co. balls work on anything, so why take the risk? I mean, yeah, sometimes the Silph balls are like, WAY less effective than an Apricorn ball would be, but...

Well, let's just say there wasn't exactly a legal limit to the number of Pokémon a trainer could carry when Apricorn balls were still the norm. Because barely anyone had more than one.

SJ says: The other key is that, well, the Apricorns had to be hand-crafted, and considering that Kurt's nose - the master of ball-making - can only make one a day, and back in the day, it would've taken a lot longer, and...

So Apricorn balls have kinda fallen by the wayside, but some people still make 'em, and Kurt was the last great master of the technique. They say nobody alive knows more about making Pokéballs than Kurt, and sometimes, he'll even take commission jobs and make custom Apricorn balls for trainers.

I'm gonna go see if he's willing to make me one!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-5.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-6.png

:smallredface: actually i kind of can't believe i even got brave enough to ask for them, i'm still a total nobody even if i DO have a pokédex.

Thankfully he's so boisterous he doesn't care.

... So... Why do you mention them?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-C.png

what.

Oh. My. God. That's SICK. :smallfurious:

Ewwww, someone tried to SELL me one of those! Someone I met BOUGHT one of those! Aaugh!

We should tell the polic-

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-D.png

what. :smalleek:

... I mean... He's a pretty old guy. And they're a bunch of seasoned criminals.

... Well, let's not be hasty, Erin... Hey! Little girl! Do you think your grandpa can handle himself out there?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-G.png

... :smallfrown: I better go follow him.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-H.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-I.png

Got that, thanks.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-J.png

Hrm.

There was some douchejerk guard standing around in front of this well when I came into town. If he's gone now... Is it possible Kurt actually beat him? :smalleek:

SJ says: With his nose.

... Let's find out.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-S.png

Wait. Why can't your Pokémon go do that without you?

SJ says: Yes, because EVERYONE has Pokemon! You know, some people aren't cut out to be trainers. Some people have their first Pokemon run away from them and never come back, leaving them lonely in some town in the middle of nowhere and...

... No, really, I mean, I get that the strength of the Trainer is the strength of the Pokémon or whatever, but...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-T.png

I... What? :smalleek:

... They're seasoned criminals. :smallmad:

SJ says: Right. (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lotoruXGgP1r0rx90o1_500.jpg)

Then again, one of them ran away from an old man shouting.

... :smallsigh: Okay. I'll do it. For the Slowpoke.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-U.png

See? Lookin' around the corner BEFORE I go. I CAN be taught, people!

... 'Course, I'm already planning to fight that guy, so there's no reason not to just go talk to him.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-V.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/7-W.png

Wait...

They KIDNAPPED you! :smalleek:

Just hold on, Slowpoke. There's a clinically depressed pink-haired little girl who's dying to see you.

And as for YOU, Muk-stench...

... How did you know I was going to say that?

How's it going, Slowpoke?

Okay. Okay. Strategy. He's got way too much HP, way too much defense, and he can heal himself a little every turn.

No sense whining about it now, I won fair and- What?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZA.png

...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZB.png

...

Uh. Am I talking to a Slowpoke again, here, buddy?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZC.png

And then he just sort of ran off into the woods.

But then...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-H.png

SJ says: Jerkface senses tingling!

Oh, no. Not you too. Not right now.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZD.png

Ugh. What do YOU want, jerk?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZE.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZF.png

Yeah. And I thrashed them. That's why there are Slowpokes around again. Why?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZG.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZH.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZI.png

ExCUSE me!? :smallconfused: Listen, buddy, I trounced them all outright. They had nothing but low-level poison types, and I smashed 'em to pieces. :smallmad:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZJ.png

What? :smalleek:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZK.png

I JUST GOT OUT OF ANOTHER BATTLE, YOU JERK! I haven't even had time to MOVE yet!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZL.png

Okay. Okay, fine. I'll beat you up and then you'll leave me the heck alone!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZM.png

... REEally.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZN.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZO.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZP.png

Hehe. Nice. Take it down a peg, Moss. :smallwink:

I'm surprised that went so well, though. It looks like Moss knocked out almost all its health with one attack. Grass isn't even supereffective against a Gastly.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZQ.png

... What?! :smalleek:

Struggle!? Struggle is a move Pokémon only use when they're completely out of energy and have no options left! What, did you challenge me when your Pokémon were all battled out?! It hurts the user almost as much as the opponent!

... In fact.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZR.png
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZS.png

Take a second to...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZT.png

And let it hit one more time...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZU.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZV.png

It literally knocked itself out. Because you made it fight when it had no energy left.

What is WRONG with you, jerk?

SJ says: I think that the other answer might be that the modder accidentally removed all of Gastly's moves. Or just set all of their PP to zero. I'unno.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZW.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZX.png

Ooh. That'll come in handy.

SJ says: Heals HP - more in Sunlight, less in other weather conditions.

Hit it with a Water Gun!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZz3WaterGun.png

Nice! Keep it up!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZ4.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZ5.png

Watch out, Kermit, don't let it-

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZ6.png

Oooh... ouch.

Okay, okay. We can still pull this out.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZ7.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZ8.png

Well... That's something, I guess!

After a BUNCH of missed attacks (rrrgh, stupid smokescreen!), John finally hit one.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZG.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZH.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZI.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZJ.png

Poison type. Which only means one thing.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZL.png

Okay, let's try our new technique, Myrt!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZM.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZN.png It hurt itself in its confusion!

Yeaaah! Turn its own strength against it!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZO.png

That never stops being horrifying.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZP.png

One more should do it, Myrtle!

W-Weak!? You worked them to DEATH! Your lead Pokémon was totally exhausted! How on earth can you possibly blame THEM for that?!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZT.png

I WON just like the LAST time I won BECAUSE I'M BETTER THAN YOU. :smallmad: And I don't look for fights when my Pokémon need rest!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZU.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZV.png

So this is self-loathing I'm talking to? :smallamused:

You're off to a great start, loser. :smalltongue:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZZ.png

How would YOU know, exactly? Haven't seen you picking fights with them. You weren't even sure they were back.

... Who ARE you?

WHO'S NEXT!? :smallmad: I CAN DO THREE IN A ROW, JUST WATCH ME! I'LL TAKE ALL COMERS! COME AND GET ME, YOU FREAKIN' PRICKS!

NO? You CHICKEN?! That what it is!? NO TAKERS?!

... Okay.... Okay. Calm. I'm calm.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/9-ZZZZ5.png

But that's definitely enough adventure for one day. I'm going back to the Pokémon center. I'll deal with the apprentice thing later.

... ugh. :smallyuk: I hate that guy.

Wow, modders. That's....kind of a jerk move there. Also, problems with the PP is troublesome.

Thankfully, between the low count of Pokémon on both teams and the more-or-less total suckitude of Daemon's team- Especially the Gastly, who, as SJ said, probably has no moves whatsoever- the two-in-a-row battles aren't THAT daunting. I gotta admit, Axel's team is... Impressively frustrating. It's well-put together.

What's REALLY baking our noodle is this, though... The ability that paralyses upon physical contact is called Static in the vanilla game. Electabuzz's version was called Saturn... And remember, Eepy didn't have it. Have to wonder what's up with that.

The really confusing thing for me is that I SWEAR remembering a different Pokemon with Static at some point.

Anyway, Slowpoke nickname suggestions? I just caught a male, and if I don't get anything good, I might just go with "Agucheek." Will wait until Tuesday for suggestions.

*joke fail*
But I will suggest Change. Change is slow.
Justice, also because of slowness.
Crock-Pot, as a form of slow cooking
And let's toss in an easy one, Children. Maybe he'll even get to play, and get his own position on a road sign.

I laughed for about 5 minutes at that one, simply for the road sign comment. I'm going with it.

Let's Play Pokemon Liquid Crystal Tag Team Edition

Today's episode:

Chapter 8: Debug Mode Enabled!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_01.png

Raining? Again? :smallsigh:

Anyway. So, I heard about this guy who makes special balls or something?

3-I says: And his nose?

Something tells me exposition would be redundant, so...

3-I says: Psssst. Aaron. Quit leanin' on the fourth wall. >.>

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_02.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_04.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_05.png

And on the other tree?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_09.png

:haley:

So, when I went into Kurt's house, and he wasn't there.

3-I adds: Nor was his nose.

A little girl told me he had ran off to the well to save the kidnapped Slowpoke, and so, well...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_23.png

...

That's a well? More like a full on frackin' cave, if you ask me. Anyway, let's go explore!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_02-1.png

What's that pink lumpy thing?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_24.png

! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iekGOi3IPcE)

Well, this'll be over quickly - s'not like I have to worry about it fighting back (at least not this month).

3-I says: ... Is it staring at your junk?

LET'S DO THIS!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_26.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_27.png

Alright. Now I've got TWO months to deal with this!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_28.png

...

Maybe I over estimated how slow it was?

(Several tackles later)

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_34.png

3-I says: HA
SJ says: HA

Well, probably just a fluke.

3-I says: Yeah, that tackle was probably intended for something it was fighting a month ago.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_35.png

Anyway, there's some guy lying on the floor back there. Dunno who is he, but I hope he's okay. Lemme see if anyone's around.

HELLO?!?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/Part%202/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_03.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/LP%20Pokemon%20Liquid%20Crystal/Chapter%208/Part%202/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_04.png

An old man SHOUTED at you, and you freaked out? Seriously? What, did he wave his walker at you, too?

SJ says: Because obligatory. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJFMDlcxkDA)

Diglett? Or hipster? YOU DECIDE!

... Aaaaaaaand they vanished. Stupid bloody ninjas.

Well, I went back to talk to Kurt, the Ball-maker.

Oh, huh. That's my Pokedex:

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/70/079Slowpoke.png
Number 79, SLOWPOKE.
The DOPEY Pokémon.
Type: WATER/PSYCHIC.
Ability: Oblivious (Immune to gender-based attacks!)
Height: 3'11". Weight: 79.4 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Incredibly slow, sluggish and dopey. It takes 5 seconds for it to feel pain when under attack. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time. It remains in a daze except when fishing with its tail. Awake or asleep, there is little difference.
A sweet sap leaks from its tail's tip. Although not nutritious, the tail is pleasant to chew on. It is always so absent-minded that it won't react, even if its flavorful tail is bitten.
Slowpoke uses its tail to catch prey by dipping it in water at the side of a river. However, this Pokémon often forgets what it's doing and often spends entire days just loafing at water's edge.


3-I's notes: Early-stage Psychic Pokémon are always welcome, even with the noted disadvantages that come with the water type. Also, it's always interested me that Slowpoke is sort of a weird combination of animals... Presumably it's meant to be Salamander-ish, given its typing (I'm assuming it's amphibious). What's always bugged me, on the other hand, is the fact that Shellder has absolutely no bearing on its evolution whatsoever, and yet the anime (and Snap) make such a huge deal out of it! What is even up with that?

SJ's notes: With a base speed stat of 15, Slowpoke is by far the slowest of the original generation's Pokemon. Interestingly, though, for its typing, it has better Physical than Special stats, but it doesn't get much in the way of physical attacks. It does get a nice assortment of STAB moves, and when it evolves, it gets a hearty (and sorely needed) boost to its Special Attack, though no its speed.

Anyway, there's a gym in this town. So, let's get ready to rumble. First, let's check out Children.

Hm. I think I'll keep Seabiscuit for now. Of course, before I attack the gym, I should go shopping first.

Well, we know how to handle this.

ERIN

... I have no idea who took this picture of me, or what I was doing! :smallconfused:

better not be that fuzzy pickles guy

SJ says: I think Moss' expression says it all.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-1.png

So. Healed up. And I'm not anxious to get that close to losing after two battles again.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-2.png

We got training to do.

Let's-a go!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-3.png

Ooh. Yoink!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/42/190Aipom.png/205px-190Aipom.png
Number 190, AIPOM.
The LONG TAILPokémon.
Type: NORMAL.
Ability: Run Away (Does exactly what it says on the tin!)
Height: 2'07". Weight: 25.4 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Aipom's tail ends in a hand-like appendage that can be cleverly manipulated. It lives atop tall trees. When leaping from branch to branch, it deftly uses its tail for balance. Its tail is so powerful that it can use it to grab a tree branch and hold itself up in the air. However, because the Pokémon uses its tail so much, its real hands have become rather clumsy.


3-I's notes: Aipom is... Interesting. Design-wise, it's the sort of Pokémon that kind of HAS to exist; it's basically an exaggerated spider monkey, and that's about it. These things are just sort of background animals that live in trees and just sort of chill.

On the technical side of things, Aipom's had a difficult journey. In GSC and third gen, it suffered from mediocre stats, a poor movepool, and the general deemphasis on normal types that seems to plague those editions' metagame. In Diamond and Pearl, it got a much needed boost in its evolution, Ambipom, a mainline lead, fallback late-game sweeper, baton passer... Ambipom has such a wide and various movepool that one's opponent wouldn't know what to expect, and the speed to back it up. The problem is that the Black and White UU metagame has rendered a few of its strengths obsolete; its use as a scouting lead has diminished due to Team Preview, as has its surprise versatility, and it's no longer the fastest normal type available in the tier.

None of this matters to us, of course, because Ambipom isn't even in this generation.

So yeah. Aipom. Monkey. Dancin' around. I don't know why it's always smiling. Must be a pretty chill guy.

SJ's notes: I always thought Aipom looked cool, but I've never used one myself. I'm not sure what I can add that 3-I hasn't already said - outside of TMs, the monkey's best move is Swift - and even with TMs, most of the good moves it learns lean towards the Special side of things (even though the Monkey has terrible SpA). It's got an 85 base Speed which is... something - and that's it's best stat. Yeah. It's kinda like a less-rare non-flying Far'fetched.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-5.png

Ooooh. Yoink!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-6.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-7.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/47/214Heracross.png
Number 214, HERACROSS.
The SINGLE HORN Pokémon.
Type: BUG/FIGHTING
Ability: Swarm (Ups Bug-type moves in a pinch) or Guts (Increases attack power when afflicted by a status!)
Height: 4'11". Weight: 119.0 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Es ist ruhig. Wird es aber beim Honignaschen gestört, verjagt es den Störenfried mit seinem Horn. Grazie alle zampe poderose e agli artigli, riesce a scaraventare lontanissimo qualsiasi nemico.

:smalleek: ... what?

Uh... Reload?

Usually docile, but if disturbed while sipping honey, it chases off the intruder with its horn. This powerful Pokémon thrusts its prized horn under the enemies' bellies then lifts and throws them. With its Herculean powers, it can easily throw around an object that is 100 times its own weight.

That's...That's better. :smallconfused:

3-I's notes: Heracross is a friggin' wrecking ball and it always has been. It's the only Pokémon that has its typing, and its 125 base attack stat pushes it WAY up in the list of physical attackers. More than that, it gets a good chunk of high-power STAB moves, most notably Megahorn. (Or, as you might know it, the first Bug-type move that was actually worth using.) Its movepool is diverse enough for it to be a threat to a number of things, and by virtue of its typing alone, it's a Dark type's worst nightmare. One of its abilities (Not the one mine has, sadly) even knocks out the major threat of status ailments... You gotta think twice before you hit a Heracross with something that could give it a power-boosting Burn.

Heracross used to be a major part of the OU metagame. Is it still? I don't know. It's rated for use in UU, OU and Uber, which means it can go toe-to-toe with friggin' legendaries. What more do you want from it? Go catch one.
SJ's notes: Aipom is an example of a one-stage Pokemon done wrong. Heracross? Done oh so right. That 125 Attack shreds through things, it gets super-effective physical STAB moves against 8 different types, and it trades a x4 weakness to flying types for that. Beyond Megahorn, it gets a decent set of the best Fighting moves, Take Down, and Earthquake (via TM). Heracross is a beaut, and it's a pity I've never used it more.

The journey of life can be hard for those of us who travel alone. And you know, mon ami, about this game you were right all the time. It is the skill that counts in the end.

Oooh. Yoink!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-A.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/f/fa/023Ekans.png
Number 23, EKANS.
The SNAKE (http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yfy2Ke4I1rs311go2_500.jpg) Pokémon.
Type: POISON.
Ability: Intimidate (Cuts opponent's attack) or Shed Skin (33% chance of curing status affliction each turn.) (This one has Intimidate.)
Height: 6'07". Weight: 15.2 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

A very common sight in grassland, etc. It flicks its tongue in and out to sense danger in its surroundings. Slithers silently through grass, searching for its favorite food--Pidgey and Spearow eggs. It can freely detach its jaw to swallow large prey whole. It can become too heavy to move, however.

Ekans curls itself up in a spiral while it rests. Assuming this position allows it to quickly respond to a threat from any direction with a glare from its upraised head.


3-I says: How many people do you know of who've really used an Ekans?

There was a time when Ekans could have really been useful, back in Gen 1, when its movepool could tackle more and Wrap completely prevented enemy attacks... Except psychic types could absolutely destroy it, and they were part of almost every team. Ever since then, despite the game rebalancing, its stats have always been sorta poor.

I like its design, though. Very iconic. Its evolution is even better. This is one of those things that people look at and go "Oh, hey, Pokémon!"
SJ says: To answer your question? Exactly one - and she travelled around with a talking Meowth.

Ekans is... meh. Poison never really has much in the way of offensive moves - excepting Sludge Bomb - and Ekans just doesn't have the stats to pull off, really, anything. It's not tanky, it's more glass-model-rocket than glass cannon, and it has a move pool that just isn't worth writing home about. Still, it holds a special place in my heart for being one of the punnier-named Pokemon.

coil the world, I cross myself
to cradle you.
In night under water,
all your little lights
fill my backbone, I carry
your hearts within me.

In the last weather of weapons,
when him who hammers
lord of goats, son of the gallows, warden of the earth
smites and sunders me
I shall fall fallow
flame-firewalled
ungirdle the world,
give him this stillborn victory:
nine last paces ere he drowns in my wound-sea.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/f9/276Taillow_Dream.png
Number 273, TAILLOW.
The TinySwallow Pokémon.
Type: FLYING.
Ability: Guts (Ups Attack by 50% when afflicted with a status)
Height: 1'00". Weight: 5.1 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Taillow is young - it has only just left its nest. As a result, it sometimes becomes lonesome and cries at night. This Pokémon feeds on Wurmple that live in forests.

Although it is small, Taillow courageously stands its ground against foes, however strong they may be. This gutsy Pokémon will remain defiant even after a loss. It will take on a larger Skarmory on an equal footing. However, its will weakens if it becomes hungry.

3-I's notes: Speedy, speedy, speedy little bird. Taillow outspeeds most other birds in its class, and its attack stat is high enough to back up that speed with a little punch. Where Taillow REALLY shines, though, is in its ability. Guts has already been discussed here... Now imagine it on something with strong STAB moves, access to acceptable recovery, and speedy as all get-out. Pair that with the fact it learns Facade... Yeah, more on that later.

SJ's notes: Gottagofast! Tailow is FAST, coming out of the gates with a base 85 speed - a stat that makes all of its other stats look pitiful in comparison. It's got a good move pool to boot - getting Quick Attack at Level 8, Wing Attack at level 13, and Double Team at Level 19, meaning that this bird is useful right from the get go - and, in my opinion, it's the best of the "Starter birds" (aka Pidgey, Hoothoot, et al.)

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a3/268Cascoon.png
Number 268, CASCOON.
The COCOON Pokémon. (No, really?)
Type: BUG.
Ability: Shed Skin (33% chance to cure a status ailment once per turn.)
Height: 2'04". Weight: 25.4 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Cascoon makes its protective cocoon by wrapping its body entirely with a fine silk from its mouth. Once the silk goes around its body, it hardens. This Pokémon prepares for its evolution inside the cocoon.

To avoid detection by its enemies, it hides motionlessly beneath large leaves and in the gaps of branches. It also attaches dead leaves to its body for camouflage.

3-I's notes: ... I got nothin'.

SJ's notes: It evolves in Dustox - which, for what it's worth, has a surprisingly level of tank to it. Until then? Meh.

And while we were training (And catching everything under the sun), something marvelous happened. :smallamused:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-J.png

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/f8/176Togetic_Dream.png
Number 176, TOGETIC.
The HAPPINESS Pokémon.
Type: NORMAL/FLYING.
Ability: Hustle!
Height: 2'00". Weight: 7.1 Lbs.

Pokédex Information:


Togetic is said to be a Pokémon that brings good fortune. When the Pokémon spots someone who is pure of heart, it is said to appear and share its happiness with that person. It grows dispirited if it is not with kind people.

It is said to appear in front of kindly people to scatter a glowing down called "joy dust." It can float in midair without moving its wings.


SJ notes: Togetic is like... the awkward middle child that no-one likes. Togepi is adorable. Togekiss wrecks face. Togetic... looks vaguely like a mini-giraffe.

The best thing that the Toge line have going for them, is the Serene Grace ability, which doubles the chance of added effects of moves.

3-I replies: Uh... Yeah, uh... mine doesn't have that.

SJ responds: So... What, then, Hustle? Yeah. Hustle isn't bad - it shores up Togetic's weak Attack stat. But it just pales in comparison.

3-I says: I, uh... I kind of like giraffes.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-N.png

So. A lot of training later... Pretty much everything in my PC Box is now at or around level 20.

Here's what the team looks like.

Hoo. SO!

I think we were gonna go rescue a princess or something.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-Z2.png

Wait, no. It wasn't a princess. (I think. Are princesses a thing anymore? I never really went through an 'I wanna be a princess!' stage. I was too busy wanting to grow up to be Pokemon Trainer White. :smallredface: )

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-Z3.png

Thanks, man. (How come nobody thought to say that to me when I went into the dank, dark cave network?)

... Uh.

What, do I LOOK like I'm going into the woods to stir up trouble or something? :smallmad:

SJ says: Honestly? Wel-

Don't answer that. :smallannoyed:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-Z6.png

Right, so. Not a princess. A... Something. What're they called.

(Hm. Surprisingly bright in here for a forest.)

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-Z7.png

People who work under other people to learn stuff. On the tip of my tongue.

SJ says: G'night everybody!

... I...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZD.png

:smallsigh:

Okay, fine, I guess I'm going to go rescue a bird.

:smallannoyed: So the problem with peaceful, serene Ilex Forest is that it isn't remotely peaceful and serene. About every three steps...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZE.png

You get jumped by a Pokémon.

3-I notes: I was honestly very tempted to leave in all the random battles. It's not just Caterpie and Weedle... Full-grown Beedrills and Butterfrees and a bunch of other things show up really, really commonly. So, for this next section, imagine that an effing Beedrill is jumping out from the trees every few steps.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZF.png

SO. MANY. BEES. :smallmad: (SJ adds... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnMDH4JNWqY))

Oh, hey, is that it over there?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZH.png

That... doesn't look like a Farfetch'd. That looks like a Spearow.

... Okay, Erin. We can do this. You've been in therapy. Just... Don't let its... Spearow-ness bother you. :smallfrown:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZG.png

Heyyy there, little guy...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZI.png

Yes it is! And it's standing there! Hi, Pokémon! (http://xkcd.com/231/)

Wait, don't-

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZK.png

ARCEGUS, that thing is fast. :smalleek:

D-don't run away, little guy. I'm not gonna hurt you. (I'm not even sure I could.)

SJ says: Stupid Leek-wielding ninja ducks... Oh, THAT'S why it looks like a Spearow.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZL.png

I... I don't even know what to say about that.

How is a badge required to make it so those things aren't other Pokémon?

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/14/Murcott_Island_Paras.png
Number 46, PARAS.
The MUSHROOM Pokémon.
Type: BUG/GRASS.
Ability: Effect Spore (Can inflict Poison, Paralysis or Sleep on contact!)
Height: 1'00". Weight: 11.9 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:
A Paras is doused with tochukaso mushroom spores when it is born. As its body grows, mushrooms sprout from its back. They grow as Paras ages by drawing nutrients from the host, and are highly valued as a medicine for extending life.

Paras burrows to suck tree roots and defends itself by scattering spores. The mushrooms and Pokémon live symbiotically.

3-I says: Paras is my very favorite Pokémon. I've had one in every single game that's allowed me to. They're adorable. They're based on a completely fascinating occurrence in nature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordyceps_unilateralis). They've got a great typing, giving resistances to a fair bunch of common types (Including 4X resistance to the dreaded Earthquake) and access to an interesting and diverse movepool, capped off with its signature move: Spore. A 100% accurate Sleep move.

If you're not prepared, Spore will break you.

I'd honestly argue that Paras is a status engine without peer. I'm not going to say it's perfect; it's not. It's got a couple of nasty 4x weaknesses. But the little guy has moxie, and I think he's just great.

SJ says: Paras is a really well-designed Pokemon. Good (and interesting) typing, decent stats (Base 80 Defenses and 95 Attack upon evolving), and a killer signature move. Despite that, its movepool is a little lacking - It learn Slash, sure, but the only bug type move it gets is Leech Life, and a base 60 Special Attack just isn't going to give the guy enough offense... unless you exploit the stat boosting power of Growth.

Spore is nasty, and with a little proper planning, the little 'shroomy guy can go far.

See, I've learned a little trick or two on how to deal with Beedrills. You know, from getting jumped by one every few steps in the forest.

They always start a fight the same way.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZZZ4.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/11-ZZZ5.png

Just according to Keikaku. :belkar:

SJ says: (Translator's note: keikaku means plan) That said, Encore is a beautiful, wonderfully evil move that forces the opponent to use their last move for the next two to five turns. Focus Energy raises the Pokemon's chance to score a crit, but the effect doesn't stack. It just fails. In short, it's just wasting time until the effect wears off.

... Whatever. Fine. Let's go, jerkwad.

And I'll transform into the queen of the Clefairy and cast a magical spell that turns ice cream cones into Pokémon. C'mon, let's keep our threats REALISTIC, shall we?

(... Why do I feel like I stole that joke from someone?)

Anyway, whatever. I've got MORE than enough left to take you. I've got a pocket full of monsters, buddy...

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7f/277Swellow_Dream.png
Number 274, SWELLOW.
The Swallow Pokémon.
Type: FLYING.
Ability: Guts (Ups Attack by 50% when afflicted with a status.)
Height: 2'04". Weight: 43.7 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Swellow flies high above our heads, making graceful arcs in the sky. This Pokémon dives at a steep angle as soon as it spots its prey. It never misses its targets. The hapless prey is tightly grasped by Swellow's clawed feet, preventing escape. One of the few Pokémon known to be migratory, it takes to the skies yearly in search of lands with a warm climate.

3-I's Notes: Swellloooooow. :smallbiggrin:

125 base speed. 125. That's faster than most electric-types. That's faster than some LEGENDARIES. Its attack stat is nothing to write home about, but that's what Guts is for. Back in Gen 3, Swellow was why your team always had a rock-type tank; you weren't going to outspeed it without a Jolteon or Electrode, so your best bet was to try to survive whatever it hit you with and retaliate as quick as you could.

Never trained one before, but I LIKE it. Especially after that last battle. Taillow was shrugging off Take Downs from that Eevee. I wanna see how much more awesome it can get.

SJ's notes: There are exactly 12 Pokemon faster than Swellow. 3 of them are Deoxys. The others are Ninjask, Electrode, Jolteon, Aerodactyl, Mewtwo, Crobat, Meloetta, Shaymin, and Accelgor. That's it. Those are ALL of the Pokemon faster than Swellow.

Yeah.

Oh. Hey. Here's one.

Dear Erin,
I'm a long time watcher, first time writer!

Your Main Man,

Louis

... Louis. ... Luis? Lewis? Louie? :smallconfused:

Anyway, Lucy, I'm gonna have to stop you RIGHT THERE. My main man is, and has been for several weeks, Moss. When was the last time YOU ever threw leaf shuriken at a bird for me? That's right, never. Or. If you did. I wasn't there. I guess. :smallconfused: I mean, if I was there, well. Uh. Sorry, I guess? You didn't exactly make a huge impression, so-

Wait, what was your e-mail about? :smallconfused:

Ho-kay! Slipping out of character. We're gonna break this up by type, roughly:

GRASS:
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster2_zps56fdb677.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster3_zps14135dee.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster4_zpsa7982a5c.png

Moss is a TANK. Pretty much nothing yet has hit it hard enough to take it out, especially now that it knows Synthesis.
(Flying types defeated by Moss count: 21)

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster5_zps3a5a807f.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster6_zpsb8b4dcf9.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster7_zpsf318d0de.png

King of the adorables. Can't take a hit as well as Moss, though. We also have nothing that knows Sunny Day, so its ability isn't much help.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster8_zps39d65e2e.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster9_zps6ea8dc0f.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster10_zps65132105.png

Underwhelming. =/ Maybe it's just that we're in a bug-heavy area, but it feels like Goodfellas hasn't got the power to back up any of its attacks, and an eggshell defense to boot. Also, same problem as Pippin.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster11_zps9a8dc53c.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster12_zps93d421f4.png http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/Roster13_zps5cce8810.png

My favorite Pokémon. Hasn't been in battle yet.

WATER:

Only Private Polisea, master of water, could restore balance... But when the world needed him most, he vanished. Time passed, and Erin discovered the new Poliwag, named Kermit. Though his waterbending skills are strong, he has a long way to go before he can save anyone.

Fast-talkin', SLAM-dancin' cute thing.

FIRE:

BUG:

I've yet to have Necco take out anything that wasn't at least five levels below it without using Selfdestruct. For some reason it just can't take a hit.


POISON (and Myrtle):

Myrtle continues to mess up everything that spares her an unfriendly glance. She's amaaaazing. :smallbiggrin:

I'd like to find a use for Dnagnumroj, though, I confess, typing that name is going to get old quick. :smalltongue:

John Egbert REALLY wrecked the last gym! AncientPower is an absolutely amazing move, which has a chance of increasing ALL of its stats at once.

Capistrano proved to be really useful in the last gym too. Speedy and punchy!

So, the wooly butthole will actually obey me now. So that's a thing.

Arthur isn't in this list, for reasons that'll become apparent next update.

So... Yeah!

"Reasons that will become apparent"... Well, it's not a nuzlocke, so he didn't die... probably...

2013-02-02, 09:10 PM
It's not a huge secret, exactly. I just ran him up a level after I stopped this update, and he evolved. Still only knows Harden, though, so... yeah, he's not really viable as a serious teammate at the moment.

Deme
2013-02-02, 09:38 PM
Excellent! Thanks for the list...

Let's go:
Moss
Kermit (No offense, Skippy, but otherwise this would be, like, ground-type central up in here)
Eeyore
Nella
John Egbert
Myrtle

Let's Play Pokemon Liquid Crystal Tag Team Edition

Today's episode:

Update 9: Exiting the forest is super simple!

(All you do is follow these path turns (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj8zw8rrUhM))

So, alright. Where the heck was I?

Right, right.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_01_zps58f6c90b.png

Re-jigglin' the team about the gym match. And, you know. NOT torrenting the newest Brycen-man movie on a public Pokecenter computer or anything. Nope. Not doing that at all.

(That said. That final battle where Lucario Girl prevented Brycen-Man from getting on the cruise ship was amazing! I can't wait for the next one! Erm. I mean, at least that's what they tell me?)

3-I says: ... She just delayed him. That's not very heroic. :smallconfused:

Anyway.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_02_zpsc8d1d27f.png

So, they tell me that I've got two options for getting out of this town. Either through the cave I just came through, or through the over-grown, bug-infested forest.

Yeah. No wonder the people here never leave home.

To the forest we go...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_06_zpse2d6aaa5.png

Alright...

This isn't talking.

3-I says: I thought fighting was the manliest form of talking!

BRING IT ON, PUNK!

Let's try this one again.

For what it's worth, type-trumping is too much fun somedays.

(It didn't end well for the little puppy.)

3-I notes: The ease with which you're thrashing this joker is making me mildly embarrassed about my performance against him.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_28_zps0b95eeee.png

SERIOUSLY? That's all the damage it took?

3-I says: Okay, I feel better now.

Bumi! Try again!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_35_zps824edffa.png

SJ says: Magnitude, when it works well, works REALLY well. Magnitude 8 has a power of 90, which is roughly as strong as Earthquake. Magnitude 10? 150 - as strong as Hyper Beam. The only moves (in this generation) that have higher base power are Explosion and Selfdestruct. So yeah.

When the dust cleared...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_36_zps9a0bba9a.png

A fitting final match. We begin!

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_37_zps8c4343ba.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_38_zps95468139.png

Now, burn it away.

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_41_zps00812e9d.png http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/Jameika314159/Chapter%209/Part%201/1636-PokemonFireRedUSquirrels_43_zps0e9e1932.png (not very effective, I think)

3-I says: Likely. Dragon-types are haaaaax. Resistant to fire, water, grass and electric, weak only to itself and ice, STAB resisted only by steel, average fully evolved stats never lower than 90... Dragon types are definitely endgame. The fact that one of our rivals has one is NOT a pleasant thought.

Also, to quote my older brother from back when he played this: Not very effective? It's effective ENOUGH. :smallmad:

... Crap.

3-I notes: So... He didn't actually say anything to Aaron. He just sort of ran up, and then the battle started. Yay, oversight!

Buuut....

Well then.

Let's try Seabiscuit, then!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/ad/048Venonat.png

Number 048, VENONAT
The INSECT Pokemon.
Type: Bug / Poison
Ability: COMPOUNDEYES (Raises Accuracy)
Height: 3'03". Weight: 66.1 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:
Venonat is said to have evolved with a coat of thin, stiff hair that covers its entire body for protection. It possesses large eyes that never fail to spot even minuscule prey. Its eyes act as radar, enabling it to be active in darkness. The eyes can also shoot powerful beams. Lives in the shadows of tall trees where it eats bugs. It is attracted by light at night.

SJ's notes: First and foremost, Venonat's pretty much adorable. Not going to lie. It has fairly mediocre stats, but it evolves, so that's forgiven. Move set-wise, it's fairly similar to Butterfree, learning almost the same moves naturallly... except this bug learns Psychic at Level 41 (before evolving).

3-I's notes: The metagame community is weirdly split around Venonat. It hasn't been higher-tier since G/S, I think because of the physical-special split, but it's been... Around. The community can't seem to decide whether it and its evolved form are surprise-attack sweepers or status engines, or Arceus knows what. That says "Versatility" to me, depending on its stats and nature. Apparently, its broad movepool in Gen V means that it cleans house in the Little Cup.

That's Gen V, though, and it depends on some things we don't have in this gen. (Besides, there's no little cup in this gen.)

I still prefer it to the Caterpie line. Though, it's funny that you mention that... I'll just leave this here. (http://assets.cantbeunseen.com/hashed_silo_content/silo_content/13959/resized/www.jpg)

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/43/043Oddish.png (IT LOOKS SO HAPPY!)

Number 043, ODDISH
The WEED Pokemon.
Type: GRASS / Poison
Ability: CHLOROPHYLL (Raises Speed in sunshine)
Height: 1'08". Weight: 11.9 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:
During the daytime, Oddish buries itself in soil to absorb nutrients from the ground using its entire body. The more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become. Its scientific name is "Oddium Wanderus." At night, it is said to walk nearly 1,000 feet on its two roots. At night, it wanders around sowing its seeds.

SJ's notes: The counter-part to Bellsprout, Oddish beats out the 'sprout in every stat outside of attack, and has a better movepool, too. Where Bellsprout gets Vine Whip and Growth, Bellsprout gets Absorb and Acid. Oddish also has the ability to evolve into Bellosom via Sun Stone, and it's all-in-all, the better choice in my opinion.

"I said something about it earlier, but I don't think you got it. All the fantasies came true when I was eleven. I've seen dragons. I have a wand, a real magic wand, and I cast spells with it. I've eaten dinner with ghosts under real fairies. And even when there's evil, it's grand, terrible evil that's clear and worth fighting, not some knotted mess of social problems when some hooligan shoots someone for drug money. I'm already living in a dream, Neville. I'm not afraid of never waking up."

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/61/015Beedrill.png

Number 015, BEEDRILL
The POISON BEE Pokemon.
Type: Bug / Poison
Ability: SWARM
Height: 3'03". Weight: 65.0 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:
Beedrill is extremely territorial. No one should ever approach its nest - this is for their own safety. If angered, they will attack in a furious swarm. It flies at high speed and attacks using the large venomous stingers on its forelegs and tail.

SJ's notes: So, here's the other half of the original Bug-types. Beedrill was, back in the day, considered only slightly better than Butterfree - sure, it learned Twin-needle (the only bug type worth a damn), but its Poison type prevented it from becoming actually being a threat to Psychic types. Well, that and it's mediorce-at-best stats. These days, it's outclassed by things like Heracross and Ninjask as far as bug types go. That said, it's got a freaking AWESOME design - it's a BEE with GIANT STINGERS for hands. I don't even like bees, and I find it impressive.

3-I's notes: Beedrill isn't half as awesome in-game as it deserves to be. Hell, until Gen V, it was completely incapable of even touching certain whole types. I was raised on Red version, where it was waay easier to get than Butterfree, and... yeah, nobody raised a Beedrill. Ever.

But it IS a bee with giant stingers for hands. Which is awesome.

"With thoughts of a man gone in my heart, I knowingly took on this impossible fight. A woman's got her pride. With a maiden's prayers and rage, I'll blast you away along with your cheap trap, so prepare yourself!!!!"

Or a Pokeball. That works too, I guess...

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/53/054Psyduck.png

Number 054, PSYDUCK
The DUCK Pokemon.
Type: Water
Ability: CLOUD NINE (Negates weather effects)
Height: 2'07". Weight: 43.2 Lbs.

Pokédex Information:
Psyduck uses a mysterious power. When it does so, this Pokémon generates brain waves that are supposedly only seen in sleepers. This discovery spurred controversy among scholars. If it uses its mysterious power, Psyduck can't remember having done so. It apparently can't form a memory of such an event because it goes into an altered state that is much like deep sleep. It is constantly wracked by a headache. When the headache turns intense, it begins using mysterious powers.

SJ's notes: Psyduck is awesome. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBwEbUwoYqQ)

3-I's notes: Psyduck occupies a weird sort of place in the metagame, because Cloud Nine is kind of an odd ability. It essentially means that Psyduck is a counter and flow breaker against teams that rely on weather, but isn't especially versatile outside of that function due to sort of muted stats. Still, that niche- and its fairly broad movepool- mean that the duck certainly has its place in the right kind of teams.

It's the kind of duck that's very warm during the day. The kind of duck who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down. A duck who has bulging ideas instead of bulging muscles. That kind of duck. (http://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/oppa_gangnam_style_gif_by_kaleidoscopeeye-d5a4q6q.gif)

Seriously? Given what I had to deal with in there? I'm almost DAMN certain that it'd be a Bug. Because seriously. The forest is overrun with those... things.

You know what? I'm DONE with you people! I'm need to get out of here and-

H-huh?

Where am I?

Oh, @#$%. What the hell did I get into now? Bumi!

Alright. So, I guess I blacked out there for a bit. I blame the perfume. Must'a been something in it or something.

I seem to be out of the forest, at least. According to my map, I'm just south of...

I'm just south of Goldenrod City.

Oh, sweet Arceus, YES! It's the biggest city in Johto. I've ALWAYS wanted to visit. I can't stand those small towns - here I go! Nothing's going to stop me now!

SJ says: I might just be projecting onto Aaron a liiiiiittle bit here. Goldenrod is, by far my favorite town, and the town's theme in the original GSC is one of my favorite pieces of music in any Pokemon game. Here's what it sounds like in this game.

Wh- Oh, hey!


Geez, where the hell have YOU guys been?


I've been wandering around just talking to myself all day. Do you have any idea how many stares I got?


... What? Look, I've already had a full day. I'm not gonna go walk around just so you can watch me do it. It's YOUR fault for showing up late. :smallyuk: 'Sides, I'm on a hot streak.


...


Uuuugh, okay, okay, fine. I'll give you the rundown.


Today's episode:

Sooooo... Okay, what did I do today?


Oh, right. First, I went through that stupid forest, and THIS happened:


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-2_zps1395cf4a.png

http://pldh.net/media/dreamworld/269.png
Number 269 (http://www.cnet.com/i/bto/20091112/billted1.jpg), DUSTOX.
The POISON MOTH Pokémon.
Type: BUG/POISON.
Ability: Shield Dust (Prevents secondary effects of attacks!)
Height: 3'11". Weight: 69.7 (http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/511783/69-dudes-o.gif)Lbs.
Pokédex Information:


Dustox is instinctively drawn to light. Swarms of this Pokémon are attracted by the bright light of cities, where they wreak havoc by stripping the leaves off roadside trees for food. When Dustox flaps its wings, a fine dust is scattered all over. This dust is actually a powerful poison that will even make a pro wrestler sick (http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee108/stfu_gina_x3/Miscellaneous/watch-out-we-got-a-badass-over-here-meme.jpg). This Pokémon searches for food using its antennae like radar.



3-I's notes: Are pro wrestlers known for being particularly poison-resistant?


So... A bug-poison type. Woo. :smallsigh:
SJ's notes: Dustox has a pretty interest moveset. It learns Toxic, Psybeam and Silver Wind naturally, and can learn Sludge Bomb via TM. That said, those moves are attached to base 50 offensive stats, a base 65 Speed, Base 70 defense and a... base 90 Sp.Def? That's surprisingly decent! What the crap. That's as much special defense as Mewtwo! Or Vileplume! Or Zapdos! Or Drowzee!


So yeah. Not really impressed... :smallsigh:


So... Evolution! Awesome, right? Except, well, here's the thing. When I caught it, it only knew Harden, and it was above the level at which it normally evolves, so...

So anyway.


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/12-GOLDENROD_zps2547c3b6.png


Goldenrod city. Flashback mode go!


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/12-GOLDENROD2_zps1eb0835e.png


I heard once that even in a big city, the first thing a Pokémon Trainer does is check out the gym.


I've been training for... What, about a week now? And I already know that's bull taco. By the time you get to a city, your Pokémon ain't in any condition to take on a gym.


First place a trainer REALLY goes?


http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/f/fe/Pok%C3%A9monCenterWizardsPromo40.jpg/430px-Pok%C3%A9monCenterWizardsPromo40.jpg


Pokémon Center.


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/12-GOLDENROD3_zps2246ce8e.png


or, uh... PokéCOM Center?


What's THAT about? :smallconfused:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/12-POKECOM2_zps8ef94b01.png


Not especially helpful. (Plus... Isn't abbreviating it that way really confusing? That's not even what it says on the thing outside.)


SJ says: There's an ATM machine joke here, or a GNU's Not Unix joke. I just can't figure out which it is :/


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/12-POKECOM3_zps56d00999.png


Place is MUCH bigger than a normal Pokémon Center, though. Way more stuff kickin' around.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/12-POKECOM7_zps0323bfb4.png


Or maybe it's the internet.


You know, the internet?

So I went to check out this Pokémon News Machine.

Thaaat's pretty typical. :smallannoyed: I'm starting to think nothing in this region actually works.


Still, I guess I can't hold that against it. Probably just didn't set Apache up right or somethin'.


Either that, or someone left an ethernet cable unhooked. Typical, really...

... What?


That's... That's ridiculous. Everyone names their Pokémon.


What the hell is wrong with you!? :smallmad:


Is there anyone in this place that speaks ENGLISH?

... This WHAT.


Are you telling me they have a friggin' TRANSPORTER? Like on Star Trek!?


Okay, it's official, the science involved in this place makes absolutely no sense. I mean... Teleporting? Magic news? A trade center and colosseum that requires a cord and which the building is by no means large enough to contain?


It just raises too many questions. (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwb2wKk4e1qcud1ho1_500.png)

So Ditto's a Pokémon that can transform into whatever it faces! It has access to all that Pokémon's moves and abilities! Fighting a Ditto is an exercise in knowing how to face yourself, how to defeat your own strengths. A trainer has to think strategically, quickly, and-

D'awwwww! :smallsmile:


http://www.serebii.net/anime/shiny/ditto.jpg
Number 132, DITTO.
The TRANSFORM Pokémon.
Type: NORMAL.
Ability: Limber
Height: 1'00". Weight: 8.8 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:
Ditto rearranges its cell structure to transform itself into other shapes. However, if it tries to transform itself into something by relying on its memory, this Pokémon manages to get details wrong.


It can transform into anything. When it sleeps, it changes into a stone to avoid being attacked. Its transformation ability is perfect. However, if it is made to laugh, it can't maintain its disguise. When it encounters another Ditto, it will move faster than normal to duplicate that opponent exactly.


3-I's notes: So... Ditto.


In Gen I, a silly novelty. In Gens II-IV, a universally-used stud-horse. In Gen V, one of the best revenge-killers in the game. (http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/ditto) So it goes.


This is also the first shiny I've ever owned.


SJ notes: That NPC is an IDIOT! I've been playing Pokemon since it came out, and I STILL haven't encountered a random shiny. that bastard Anyway. Ditto. There isn't much to say about it outside of what 3-I said.


Hokay. What else we got?

Number 316, GULPIN.
The STOMACH Pokémon.
Type: POISON.
Ability: Sticky Hold (Prevents Item Theft! ... Also, it increases the odds of encountering a Pokémon while fishing, but nothing in the game tells you that.)
Height: 1'04". Weight: 22.7 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:


Virtually all of Gulpin's body is its stomach. As a result, it can swallow something its own size. This Pokémon's stomach contains a special fluid that digests anything. It can even digest scrap iron.


3-I's notes: A Pokémon which is roughly equivalent to something between a human galbladder and a carbosilicate amorph (http://www.schlockmercenary.com). Gulpin has a weirdly devoted fanbase. I'm serious, go looking for Gulpin fanart. People love this little blob. I can't blame 'em... It's adorable, iconic, and eats everything. And it evolves into something that's surprisingly bulky and has a nifty and unexpectedly wide movepool.


As you may have guessed from the second picture above, the mighty RedChocobo did a run of FireRed using Gulpin as a starter. It worked out okay.


SJ says: Toxic at Level 31, Amnesia, Yamn, and a surprisingly diverse TM learn set. I don't know about anyone else's opinions, but I've always felt that Swalot had an almost regal air in how it carries itself.

(blah takohako on etsy (http://www.etsy.com/listing/101846366/pokemon-drowzee-original-art-55-x-425))
Number 096, DROWZEE.
The HYPNOSIS Pokémon.
Type: PSYCHIC.
Ability: Insomnia (Does what it sounds like.)
Height: 3'03". Weight: 71.4 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:


If your nose becomes itchy while you are sleeping, it's a sure sign that one of these Pokémon is standing above your pillow and trying to eat your dream through your nostrils. Said to have descended from the legendary beast, Baku.


If you think that you had a good dream, but you can't remember it, a Drowzee has probably eaten it. It remembers every dream it eats. It rarely eats the dreams of adults because children's are much tastier. When it twitches its nose, it can tell where someone is sleeping and what that person is dreaming about.


3-I's notes: How do you COMPETE with mythology like that?


Drowzee is friggin' amazing. Leave behind stats for a moment: We're talking about a Pokémon based primarily on a mythological creature from ancient chinese history. One which has been part of japanese folklore since the 14th century. In the 1700s, it was written that the Baku was "chimera with an elephant’s trunk, rhinoceros eyes, an ox tail, and tiger paws, which protected against pestilence and evil."


This is what they've put into this game. Not just a tapir, not just another thing based on some amazing quirk of nature... A supernatural creature with a history that dates back generations. This is the equivalent of putting a hobgoblin in the game. Or the Sasquatch. Or Robin Goodfellow. Or the White Lady. Or Superman.


They've taken that power and put it in your hands. You command it. THAT'S what Pokémon is about.


SJ says: Well, anything I follow that up with is just going to pale in comparison. So, I guess I'll just go for Stats and Moves as usual.


Let's start with the obvious: Drowzee is a special TANK. It's special defense is higher than any of its other stats by almost 30 points over its next highest (HP). Also, interestingly, it has a higher physical attack than special attack - these even out when it evolves. Ironically, despite all of the talk in the Pokedex about Drowzee eating dreams, it can't learn Dream Eater via leveling. Regardless, it still has a solid move-pool for the defensive wall that it is.

First, notice that background? That’s what happens when your greenscreen goes haywire. And then that title? Yeah. This is badly done children’s programming.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x311/rich-kid-kevin/Kirlia-1.gif
Number 281, KIRLIA.
The EMOTION Pokémon.
Type: PSYCHIC.
Ability: Trace (Copies special ability.)
Height: 2'07". Weight: 44.5Lbs.
Pokédex Information:


Kirlia uses the horns on its head to amplify its psychokinetic power. When the Pokémon uses its power, the air around it becomes distorted, creating mirages of nonexistent scenery. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirlian_photography) It is said that a Kirlia that is exposed to the positive emotions of its Trainer grows beautiful. This Pokémon controls psychokinetic powers with its highly developed brain.


SJ’s Notes: Kirlia gives an all-around upgrade to it’s previous form’s stats, with +20 to both Special Attack and Special Defense, and +10 to everything else. It’s a modest improvement, to be sure, but it’s better than nothing.


3-I’s notes: So Kirlia is basically based on a balleria, says Bulbapedia. SJ isn't typically a fan of mid-stage designs, from what I understand, but I kinda like its design, and the way it's evolving away from the sort of general Mo Howard-ishness of Ralts and towards a more... uh... Shemp-ish middle stage?


Also, read that 'dex entry again. "A Kirlia that is exposed to the positive emotions of its Trainer grows beautiful." Does that mean that Kirlias trained by jerkasses turn ugly? Or they start to look awful if their trainer goes into clinical depression?


I'm imagining a Kirlia-based Cinderella over here, but I don't think it'd work with a wicked stepmother. Unless she really LOVED being wicked. Then, I don't know.


Alright. Training over here's getting boring. I wonder what's going on on the other side of town?


As I was walking out the gate...

Not last I checked. Anyway, let's take a look at this bird...


http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/8b/021Spearow.png/200px-021Spearow.png
Number 021, SPEAROW.
The TINY BIRD Pokémon.
Type: NORMAL / FLYING
Ability: Keen Eye (Prevents loss of accuracy.)
Height: 1'00". Weight: 4.4Lbs.
Pokédex Information:


Spearow has a very loud cry that can be heard over half a mile away. If its high, keening cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger. Eats bugs in grassy areas. It has to flap its short wings at high speed to stay airborne.


SJ's notes: Oh, Spearow. The other original bird Pokemon. It's hard for me to not compare the Spearow to it's early-game counterpart Pidgey. Stat wise, Fearow squeaks out ahead of Pidgeot in Speed and Attack - Pidgeot has a lot more HP, but that doesn't matter if the opponent's already knocked out. Movepool-wise, the two birds are fairly similar, but Fearow does learn Mirrormove earlier, and learns Drill Peck. Interestingly, the two's TM learn-lists are identical.


3-I's notes: Spearow's had a weird place in the media surroundin' these games, hasn't it? First episode of the anime, a flock of them nearly kill Pikachu... Early in the Adventures manga, Bill turns into a Ratatta (No, really) (http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/1/16/Bill_Rattata_form.png)... I think these things get an unfairly bad rap.


Erin's notes: The VERY WORST MOST AWFUL THINGS EVER! Except Tentacool. Maybe. I don't know. Just... :smallfrown:


3-I says: Wait, how did you get in here?


Okay, back to the PC with with you!

Oh. Kay.


So from asking around town, I get the feeling this underground is where the local ruffian crowd hangs out. The place stretches underneath the city, and you can get into some of the big buildings from it... And so you get street kids and criminals hanging out down there starting Pokémon battles.


Also, there are supposedly some obscure shops down there.


SJ says: I'd make a hipster joke here, but it'd probably be too deep for you mainstream types.


Fighting and shopping.


Yeah, I'm fine with either of those. Hit it. :smalltongue:

... That doesn't look like a ruffian.


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZE_zpsaed9e871.png


... The local casino-type thing? Why?


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZF_zpsf585418b.png


... What?


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZG_zpsfe14ea8d.png


Oh. My. God. The local street gangs are made of NERDS!


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZH_zps682d3a46.png


... Wait, what?


How do you cheat at slots with THAT thing? What, do you pour it into the machine?!


(Arceus, it smells HORRIBLE. Like chocolate milk with a stomach virus.)


Daniel, if you please.

Whyyy does everyone but me have so many potions?


SJ: Department store. Right there. 5 minute walk.


Okay, I don't want that thing spewing any more sludge at us. Daniel, discourage it.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZP_zpsa92b19c7.png


... Huh.


Okay, I guess it just has really high resistance to SPECIAL attacks.


... gonna need to buy some shampoo after this... Daniel!


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZQ_zpsac0997ee.png


SJ says: Yes. Slam your HEAD into the toxic sludge!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZR_zps11d8fe71.png


Well... huh. That worked, I guess.


Yeah. So there.


Okay. What ELSE you got?

that was the most disgusting thing i think i ever have or ever will see.


why are you grumbling? i'm the one trying not to vomit.
SJ says: It was, dare I say, ghastly (http://instantrimshot.com).


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZX_zps000f24ef.png

Ugh, whatever.

Hm.


So there weren't really any shops down here. But there ARE more hooligans! One of them's blocking the stairs back up...

Don't worry, I softened 'em up for you. (There aren't any shops down there, though. Just a lot of empty tables.)


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZZW_zps801dd86c.png


Aand now I'm across town. Other side of the tracks.


What's up here, I wonder?


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZY_zps4c4b616b.png


SJ says: Isn't that a DBZ attack?


>.> Okay.


You know, I'm starting to notice I have a weird habit of just sort of walking into buildings randomly when I'm bored. It's odd, but, Arceus help me, nobody's bothered trying to stop me yet.

Oh Arceus, no. :smalleek: That little girl could be in HORRIBLE trouble right now! You have to go drag her back!


... M-me? Why don't I rescue her? Well, uh, that is, I'm... I... have to be somewhere. :smallredface:


yoink!

Nobody else said anything that interesting. Summation: These machines are more challenging than the ones in Celadon, you can buy TMs with your coins, and a lot of talk about flipping things.


Let's find a machine and get playin'!


http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZZZA_zps1d8cc851.png

Let's try closer to the door anyway.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZZZC_zps6cc83e43.png


Okay, you can put in as many as three coins, and that gives you more possible recognized lines...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/Trismegustis/Liquid%20Crystal/12-ZZZZL_zps5e341c88.png


And they pay out double if they're in a corner...

So yeah, forward we go!

so, uhm...

Is anyone out there still reading this?

We miss you guys... :smallfrown:

Also, we're planning to do a battle against each other soon! Anyone got any good ideas about how to do that if we can't make the in-game link-battle system work?

Deme
2013-04-08, 04:25 PM
I'm still reading!
I just seem to miss updates, and end up reading them 2-3 at a time... Maybe I should subscribe.

Anyway, there's an online battle simulator of some sort, I think; you can simulate exact teams, so that may work.

As for prizes... I dunno. There's nothing really appealing to me there, so maybe just pick up a Bagon or something?

3-I
2013-04-08, 04:35 PM
I was considering a Bagon! I was also thinking pretty hard about a Spoink or a Wobuffet, since I've never really trained any of them. Anyone have any familiarity with 'em?

Also, those TMs are: Blizzard, Thunder, Fire Blast, Shadow Ball and Thunderpunch. The Thunderpunch is also available in the shopping center, though.

I WAS thinkin' Shadow Ball, but, uh... Myrtle gets something better early next update.

Pink
2013-04-08, 08:09 PM
Dragons are awesome. Get a Bagon!

Btw, hi, I read this and love it and always want it to update. I just don't talk much.

2013-04-16, 02:07 PM
Woop! Sorry it's taken us so long to reply, but we thought we might surprise you all with another update, and it took a little while longer than expected to produce. But I'm totally glad you guys are still here, and I'd love it if anyone else who's reading would chime in!

ERIN

You know... Come to think of it, I think I LOST those earrings. Maybe they're back at the Ruins of Alph?

Now! As you all know, I'm a decidedly calm person who never, ever descends into fits of passionate rage.

:smallmad:

I NEED to get through there! There's a bug catching contest in a few days! And a gym! And shopping! Everything I NEED is this way! And some stupid tree is-

Ahaha! Ahah. ha. Yes. Well. Enough about that. In fact, never play that again. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=VeZ9HhHU86o#t=21s) http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/images/smilies/shifty.gif http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-sweatdrop.gifhttp://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-coffee.gif

So, yeah, uh... Like I said back then in my cool, calm and decidedly un-inarticulate rage-y way-



Okay, what if I-

Okay, how about if I go over here and-

Oh, a WISEguy, eh? :smallmad:

So, uh...

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/4e/Johto_National_Park_Map.png

North of Goldenrod City, right on the other end of that... :smallannoyed: particular tree... :smallyuk: is the Johto National Park. Three times a week, there's a Bug-Catching Contest there!

SJ says: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays - also known as the days that Friendship is Dragons (http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/) updates.

Don't judge me.

3-I adds: Oh, hey, I forgot about that one.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/01/HGSS_National_Park-Day.png

It's open to anyone with Pokémon. You get to go out with one of your Pokémon and 20 Pokéballs. Everyone goes out and tries to catch the best bug Pokémon. I THINK it's a stocked park, 'cus they only ever let you get one catch judged, and that's the only one you get to keep, but...

Well, Oak wants me to work on the Pokédex, right? :smalltongue:

I figure I can take a minute or so after each catch to let it record an entry, and then release everything but my pick for judging. :smallwink: And given how good Kermit'n'me have gotten at sleep'n'snatchin' wild Pokémon, I figure this oughta be a cinch to pull off. We'll be shoo-ins!

:smallannoyed: Oh, no, wait, let me guess. The new boss is a noodle-armed tin-pot bureaucrat with delusions of adequacy who couldn't find his tuchus with two hands if he was an Ambipom?

I... don't have the heart to do this.

Might as well wander around inside. See what's going on, maybe catch something. I'm a little crestfallen about it.

The red sky ain't helpin'.

Actually, I'm sorta just wandering aimlessly. It seems like since I started my journey, I keep-

And hey! What's your name, little guy?

Nope. Still not spoiling my buzz. :smallsmile:

I know! Let's go pick some fights! :smallbiggrin:

You can do... what now?

(NOT IN THIS GAME)

Oh, I get it! Playin' a Game Boy Pokémon game, huh? That's cool. :smallwink: I got REAL Pokémon, though. WAY cooler. :smallbiggrin:

What's up with you, lady?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/13-Z.PNG

:smalleek: C-cool! Uh, maybe, uh... Maybe you should keep it out of the rain!

Ooh, a trainer. Hit it.

Eye contact made, miss trainer...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/13-Z1.PNG http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/13-Z2.PNG

SJ says: G'night everybody! (http://images5.fanpop.com/image/answers/2601000/2601143_1334279474535.39res_295_296.jpg)

Y-y'see, when two Pokémon trainers make eye contact, they're... they're supposed to battle. I guess. I think that's the rule. :smallconfused:

(unscrublahblah blah blah toshikun. (http://toshikun.deviantart.com/art/Sunkern-Seed-pokemon-147946008))
Number 191, SUNKERN.
The SEED Pokémon.
Type: GRASS.
Ability: Chlorophyll (When sun is bright, speed increases).
Height: 1'00". Weight: 4.0 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Sunkern tries to move as little as it possibly can. It does so because it tries to conserve all the nutrients it has stored in its body for its evolution. It will not eat a thing, subsisting only on morning dew. It may drop out of the sky suddenly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_bear). If attacked by a Spearow, it will violently shake its leaves. A year after a cold summer, their population explodes. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=I4ZnGprplKU#t=88s)
(really, with that joke? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4YNWS4IC-m8#t=441s))

3-I's notes: BEHOLD! THE WEAKEST POKÉMON IN THE WHOLE FRANCHISE!

No, really, forget what you've heard about Magikarp. Magikarp can sweep legendaries. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-PArgnvqQ4) Ditto is an incredible revenge killer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA5TpUye5BM). Unown is immune to Earthquake. Luvdisc is... uh...

...

Eh. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euNRdbeAXaU)

But Sunkern? Worst stats in the game. One of the worst types. (I love my grass types, I do, but they're weak to a lot of things. Thankfully Moss has high enough defense to shrug off supereffective hits.) Sunkern essentially cannot be used offensively or defensively.

Is Sunflora better?

SJ's notes: Sunkern honestly is that terrible. Sunflora, on the other hand, has a base 105 Special Attack, 85 Special Defense and 75 HP and Attack. What stops it, though, is that Base 30 speed, which is on par with Snorlax, Slowbro, and Metapod. So yeah...

(unqrrbrbirbel blah blah blah minjixmuu-chan (http://minjixmuu-chan.deviantart.com/art/Nidoran-297606086))

Number 29, NIDORAN ♀.
The POISON PINPokémon.
Type: Poison.
Ability: Poison Point (May poison the opponent when struck with a physical attack!).
Height: 1'04". Weight:15. 4 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Nidoran has barbs that secrete a powerful poison. They are thought to have developed as protection for this small-bodied Pokémon. When enraged, it releases a horrible toxin from its horn. Even a scratch can be fatal to humans.

The female of the species is small and very docile, preferring not to fight. However, it will torment its foes with poison spikes if it is threatened in any way.

3-I's notes: Pronounced sexual dimorphism! Ain't that wacky?

So, Nidoran were the first Pokémon with a pronounced gender. (Mr. Mime doesn't count.) I respect the choice to make the girl blue and the boy pink! Or purple. Whatever. But let's look closely at some of the other decisions they made along the way.

Red and Blue. Nidoran are split entirely along gender lines, with different evolutionary paths and no shared forms. Because of this, they have markedly different stat breakdowns: males are more offense-oriented, whereas females are more defense-oriented. (I know, Erin getting a defensive Pokémon. Big shocker!) Otherwise, all Pokémon were essentially genderless. There was no stat to determine gender.

So, okay, female Pokémon in Gold and Silver. In order to maintain the ability to trade Pokémon between RBY and GSC, they couldn't add any new stats, so a Pokémon's gender was determined through its Attack IV. Female Pokémon were given the lower half of the IV range, which meant any female Pokémon would be weaker, attack-wise, than a male of the same species.

In Gen III, this was fixed by adding personality values, which determined gender (among other things) without being dependent on IVs. However, an interesting split still exists... Pokémon gender ratios are not split strictly 50-50. Certain species or lines are substantially likelier to be one gender or the other. What's interesting is that while there is a category of Pokémon that's substantially likelier to be male than female, though females of the species still exist (the 7 male : 1 female group), there is no comparable group for female Pokémon. (There are only the 1:3 ratio and the 100% female ratio.)

Given the spotty history of female Pokémon, and the presence of species that are more commonly or exclusively one sex or the other... Here's a question. How do the majority-female species stack up against the average, stat-wise?



Well, that's an interesting question. Not to mention challenging, as there's no list on the internet of Pokemon by base stats AND gender ratio. But, after some cleverness -

If you do say so yourself-

I managed to rip the list of base stats and the list of gender ratios for various Pokemon, and did math to them.

Hearty math. Dangerous math. Bloody and glorious math.

Taking the mean of all Pokemon with a given gender ratio, we find that Male-only Pokemon have the Highest Attack and Speed, Female-Only Pokemon have the highest Special Def. and HP, and genderless Pokemon have the highest Special Attack and Defense. On the other side, Female-only Pokemon have the lowest Attack, Genderless Pokemon have the lowest HP, Pokemon with a 1:1 gender ratio have the lowest Speed, and 3:1 Female:Male Pokemon are the lowest in every other stat.

Additionally, the average total stats are just about equal for mono-gendered species (whether Male, Female, and Genderless), but for all of the other categories, a higher likelihood of being male corresponds with a high average stat total.

Now, I'm no social scientist or anything, but the implications here are... unfortunate, at best.


So, what you're getting at is that the 3:1 female:male group has the lowest average total stats.

Plus that doesn't explain why it's such a perv-

Gah. Is there some reason everybody who walks away from me is faster than Speedy Gonzales?

So... Water.

... I GUESS if I really wanted to, I could go up there and have Kermit spritz the thing, but...

Somehow I don't feel like that's the right decision. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GameplayAndStorySegregation)

Besides, that'd just mean Kermit would be close to it when it went crazy and started flailing.

... Let's go check on that little girl.

At the flower shop:

Hey, lady. I saved your sister.

... Right.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/13-ZZZH.PNG

To be honest, she's probably right. You really shouldn't go picking on Pokémon. They're WAY stronger than us. :smallfrown: I know it sounds dumb, but she's just looking out for your safety.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/13-ZZZI.PNG

(kamikazewatermelon purplekecleon on deviantart (http://purplekecleon.deviantart.com/art/Haunter-Painting-194139821))

Number 93, HAUNTER.
The GAS Pokémon.
Type: GHOST/[/COLOR]Poison.
Ability: Levitate. (Being vulnerable to Earthquake is for chumps.)
Height: 5'03". Weight: 0.2 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Haunter is a dangerous Pokémon. If one beckons you while floating in darkness, you must never approach it. This Pokémon will try to lick you with its tongue and steal your life away. If you get the feeling of being watched in darkness when nobody is around, Haunter is there. Because of its ability to slip through block walls, it is said to be from another dimension. It can slip through any obstacle.

It lurks inside walls to keep an eye on its foes. It likes to lurk in the dark and tap shoulders with a gaseous hand. Its touch causes endless shuddering. Its tongue is made of gas. If licked, its victim starts shaking constantly until death eventually comes.

3-I's notes: LOOK AT THIS THING. Do you SEE it? Did you READ that entry? Holy merciful CRAP.

Haunter is incredible. It has a wide and varied movepool. It has great stats. It has an AWESOME appearance. It has terrifying implications. Let me reiterate: If you didn't have a Haunter in the Red and Blue days, you just weren't cool.

Every generation has chipped away at Haunter's weaknesses. Earthquake has always been a major factor in the metagame. Useless against Haunter. Normal attacks do nothing to it. Fighting attacks.

Poison's a drawback it doesn't need, particularly given that it never learns any poison-type STAB moves naturally. and it's a major liability against psychic-types. But hey, immunity to Toxic. Can't say fairer than that, right?

It's always smiling. It loves every last bit of its life. :smallamused:

SJ says: Haunter's always been a favorite of mine, ever since I watched the episode where Ash needed to get one to beat Sabrina. Not only did every generation remove its weaknesses, it's gotten substantial improvements in the offense department each generation as well. Gen 2 gave it Shadow ball - still the one of the best Ghost moves - Mean Look and Curse. Gen III didn't do much, but Gen IV... Gen IV blew the door open with the Physical/Special split. See, Haunter has a base 115 Special Attack, but Ghost was a physical type. Until Gen IV, when Shadow Ball became a Special Attack. A STAB Special Attack.

It's not that Haunter was ever a bad Pokemon - it's been OU in every generation. It just finally got a STAB move keyed off of it's best offensive stat.

also sweet merciful arceus look at that thing. that is the face of a creature that will destroy your soul

it will. with gusto. and a smile on its face.

Yeah, well, your strategies are good, but you need to learn to be more flexible. You can't let everything fall apart just because someone gets lucky with poison. (I didn't, after all.)

Keep at it, though. You're the first person in a while who's made me make a tactical withdrawal, that's worth somethin'. :smallsmile:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/13-ZZS.PNG

So it was around this point that I hopped back to the Pokémon center to heal up everybody.

(What's up with this graffiti? I don't even get it.)

And it was around then that I started thinking. I hear tell Whitney's a master of Normal types. Well, if that's the case, Myrtle's a good choice to tackle the gym with... Normal type moves can't even touch her. But then again, she still doesn't have anything that can touch them, either. It's the Faulkner dilemma all over again.

SJ says: Next time I'm in a philosophy class, I'm citing the Faulkner dilemma.

Except this time, I got an out.

Yesterday, there was this lady in the department store that was meeting everyone's Pokémon, and she gave me a couple of gifts. The first one, since she saw the Pokémon I was best friends with, was this...

Kermyyyy! Oh my gosh!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/9c/Poli_Poliwhirl.png

Number 61, POLIWHIRL.
The TADPOLE Pokémon.
Type: Water.
Ability: Damp. (Prevents self-destruction! He's a supportive friend! (http://bandbacktogether.com/how-to-deal-self-destructive-friend/)!)
Height: 3'03". Weight: 44.1 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

The surface of Poliwhirl's body is always wet and slick with an oily fluid. Because of this greasy covering, it can easily slip and slide out of the clutches of any enemy in battle. Its two legs are well developed. Even though it can live on the ground, it prefers living in water.

The spiral pattern on its belly subtly undulates. Staring at it gradually causes drowsiness.

3-I's notes: Poliwhirl!

Like I said, this is my first time training one of these, but I really like Poliwhirl's design! It's definitely one of the more iconic Pokémon out there. Poliwhirl was also kind of the star of the Pokémon Adventures manga for a while! It was Red's first Pokémon.

SJ's notes: Poliwhirl! Never trained one either, but it really has an excellent design. Dunno what else to say, though.

Way to go, Kermit! :smallsmile: so not trading you ever. PFC Polisea would be super proud of you!

So I discovered some other interesting things!

Number 185, QUAGSIRE.
The WATER FISH Pokémon.
Type: Water/Ground.
Ability: Water Absorb. (Recovers health when hit by a water-type attack!)
Height: 4'07". Weight: 165.3 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Quagsire hunts for food by leaving its mouth wide open in water and waiting for its prey to blunder in unaware. Because the Pokémon does not move, it does not get very hungry. Due to its relaxed and carefree attitude, it often bumps its head on boulders and boat hulls as it swims.

3-I's notes: I said pretty much everything I wanted to say in Wooper's entry, so here's a picture of a Quagsire wearing a top hat.

Number 232, DONPHAN.
The ARMOR Pokémon.
Type: Ground.
Ability: Sturdy. (Negates one-hit KOs!)
Height: 3'07". Weight: 264.6 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

A Donphan is so strong it can easily haul a dump truck. If Donphan were to tackle with its hard body, even a house could be destroyed. Using its massive strength, the Pokémon helps clear rock and mud slides that block mountain trails.
Its hide has toughened to a rock-hard state. An ordinary sort of attack won't even leave a scratch. The longer and bigger its tusks, the higher its rank in its herd. The tusks take long to grow.
Donphan's favorite attack is curling its body into a ball, then charging at its foe while rolling at high speed. Once it starts rolling, this Pokémon can't stop very easily.

3-I's notes: Donphan. Donphan, Donphan, Donphan. The original Rapid Spinner. The Rollout Champ. The first member of the- (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtXHRSRQZvU)

... Wait... What was I saying?

So yeah. Gen II brought in a lot of Pokémon to act as rapid spinners, but Donphan was the leader of the bunch, and people know it well... for... that. 'Cus. Trust me, this thing can kick some tail. Enemies beware: its high attack is sure to disconcert. If it Earthquakes? It's gonna hurt. It's bigger. It's got rollout (http://i.imgur.com/YthQFl.jpg). It's stronger too. It's a proud, if defensively oriented, addition to the Erin Crew.

... This Pokédex entry took kind of an unexpected turn.

... Oh well. Come on, Cranky! Take it to the fridge!

SJ says: Okay. Not gonna lie. I LOVE the Donphan design. It's DESIGNED for rolling. It's got a tire tread for a trunk! It's an ELEPHANT that ROLLS INTO A WHEEL to attack! Seriously, how awesome is that? Oh, and it's got damn good physical stats (120 in both Atk and Def)

3-I adds: Oh, hey, yeah, there was something else I wanted to mention. Remember how we were talking about gender earlier? Well, go read that 'dex entry again.

So you know how horns are a sign of social status among Donphan?

So when they introduced sexual dimorphism in Gen IV, here's what a male and female Donphan, respectively, looked like.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/f/f6/Spr_4d_232_m.png http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/be/Spr_4d_232_f.png

Yeah, whoops. :smalltongue: I don't think they were implying anything by it, I think they just forgot that bit of lore was in the Pokédex. Though it is amusing to note that they fixed it in HG/SS:

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c9/Spr_4h_232_m.png http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/3f/Spr_4h_232_f.png

Number 317, SWALOT.
The POISON BAG Pokémon.
Type: POISON.
Ability: Sticky Hold (Prevents Item Theft! ... Also, with the fishing and stuff!)
Height: 5'07". Weight: 176.4 Lbs. (In one evolution, it's gone from roughly a fifth Erin's height to maybe a little taller than her. Weird (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FONN-0uoTHI).)
Pokédex Information:

Swalot has no teeth, so what it eats, it swallows whole, no matter what. Its cavernous mouth yawns widely. An automobile tire could easily fit inside this Pokémon's mouth. When Swalot spots prey, it spurts out a hideously toxic fluid from its pores and sprays the target. Once the prey has weakened, this Pokémon gulps it down whole with its cavernous mouth. Its powerful stomach acid is capable of digesting almost anything. The one thing in the whole world a Swalot can't digest is its own stomach.

Swalot haggis is unspeakably awful, and any who claim to have eaten it should be committed to mental care immediately.

3-I's notes: nom.

SJ's notes: Swalot tiene uno de los bigotes más nobles que he visto nunca.

Yay! How do you feel, Akami?

Also, she learned Body Slam and forgot Poison Gas.

So... A little later on that evening, I followed up on a rumor. It's said that Goldenrod is home to a Move Tutor, who hangs around in the game corner... They say that on the nights when he's down on his luck, he'll teach moves to your Pokémon if you pay him enough to get back in the game.

Turns out I knew him already. We played the slots next to each other.

My very first Pokémon. Moss is really shy and timid, but totally sweet and adorable when he starts trusting you. He's been being so brave lately and fighting for me! I think he likes how much faith I have in him. (And to be honest, I like how much faith he has in ME.)

Kermit's been amazing! He's had such big shoes to fill after Polisea, but even though we expected the world of him, he's never complained. (Er. Gloves to fill, maybe? I'unno.) What's really been impressive is that even though he was so tiny, he was never afraid to stand up to bigger Pokémon. We've had lots of battles against some pretty scary enemies, but he's never once quavered. I'd swear, between his ability and his demeanor, Kermit must have been a bomb disposal squad guy in another life.

He's really pretty strong in battle, but... I get the feeling he hasn't really figured out his own style yet. I'm gonna have to try to help him with that.

Myrtle is spooky, and she knows it, and she LOVES it. I've never seen her be anything but totally chill, even- No, ESPECIALLY in battle. She can go from relaxed to active in an instant, and back again. And she never stops smiling. :smallbiggrin:

And she TRUSTS me! That move, Return? It only works well if the Pokémon and the trainer share a tight bond of trust and love. Maybe she likes me. Maybe she just likes what I tell her to do. :smallwink: Either way, we have fuuuun.

(arte de Chubichii (http://chubichii.deviantart.com/art/The-next-king-195394533))

A little troublemaker! Practically the definition of the word "Scamp." He definitely gets up to mischief when you're not watching him like a hawk, and there at least a couple of trainers I know of who he played little pranks on in a Pokémon center, only to run over and lay his head in some little girl's lap to look sweet'n'innocent. For a while I kinda had to babysit him to keep him out of trouble, but... I'm gonna be honest, his love of adventure and mischief is kinda infectious sometimes. :smallwink:

Who wants to be good all the time anyway? :smalltongue:

JOHNEGBERT
http://th01.deviantart.net/fs14/200H/f/2007/001/d/3/_Morning__morning__Togetic_by_endless_whispers.png
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Egbert-1.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Egbert-2.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Egbert-3.PNG
(art from endless-whispers. (http://endless-whispers.deviantart.com/art/Morning-morning-Togetic-45740818))

John's a real sweetie, and a powerhouse to boot. He often leaps without looking, though. I think that's why his ability is Hustle... He throws his heart into whatever he does, but sometimes he doesn't think things through before he starts. That's okay, though, 'cus he's clever and thinks quick on his feet, and he's super, SUPER lucky.

John's the baby of the group, an' he's the only one who never lived in the wild, so most of the others really try to take good care of him an' teach him how to fight an' stuff. He's really super adorable with Myrtle, who loves playing with his senses. Elvis has been pretty close to him too, though given the unpredictability of John's attacks, I've been careful not to let them hang out without a chaperone. Skippy's hung out with him a lot too. Nella's his favorite, though, 'cus she gives him piggyback rides and finds berries for him and stuff. It's totally cute. <3

SKIPPY
http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/ken_sugimori/update_hgss/195.png
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Skippy-1.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Skippy-2.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Skippy-3.PNG

Very playful, and loves getting into trouble and going on adventures. It's sort of weird that he and Elvis don't do much together, but I guess they don't know each other well, maybe? I'unno. They don't hang out. Maybe it's my fault, I've been bringing Eeyore with Skippy more often.

Skippy's always happy. :smallsmile: How can you look at that face and frown? Nothing gets him down.

EEYORE
http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/ken_sugimori/update1/322.png
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Eeyore-1.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Eeyore-2.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Eeyore-3.PNG

Eeyore's a pretty serious little guy! He seems a little introverted and muted, too. But he doesn't take guff from anybody, and he's very insistent when there's something important bugging him, I guess. I don't know. He's been a good partner in battle. Dutiful, I guess. But we haven't built much of a rapport yet.

POIROT
http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/f/2011/316/e/f/ef38ab18b5c9a9ff340b25648faf828d-d4fz13o.jpg

(art from trezhurisland on guess where. (http://trezhurisland.deviantart.com/art/Heracross-268693332))

Poirot on the other hand? He's not just dutiful. He LOVES every second of the combat. Now, don't take that to mean that all he cares about is fighting. Nuh-uh. His other interests include eating... and, uh...

See, Poirot's an odd duck. Out of all of my carefree Pokémon - You may have noticed there's a bunch - he really is the most happy-go-lucky of them all. He likes food, and plenty of it. He likes to fight, and he doesn't even care if he loses. He's cheerful, energetic, competitive but sportsmanlike, and as soon as I caught him, he was already part of the family. NOBODY makes friends as quickly as he does. He and Elvis are practically joined at the hip when Elvis is up to something. He even makes Akami laugh sometimes.

He's just a simple Pokémon with simple tastes. Guess that makes him pretty likable. :smallamused:

CAPISTRANO
http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/200H/f/2012/174/8/5/swellow_by_hikari912-d54k6r3.jpg
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Capistrano-1.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Capistrano-2.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Capistrano-3.PNG
(l'art est de l'artiste Hikari912. (http://hikari912.deviantart.com/art/swellow-309991215))

Now, talk about your polar opposites. You know how John's a little hasty and looks before he leaps? Capistrano is the complete opposite: he is fastidiously precise in every little thing he does. I've never seen him with a feather out of place, and I don't think I've ever seen him taken by surprise, either. Commanding him in battle has been a challenge, 'cus you gotta keep up with him! He'll do what you tell him to, but you have to be thinking on his level. He's crazy prepared and deliberate.

In everything. More on that eventually, I guess. :smallsigh:

AKAMI
http://th08.deviantart.net/fs46/200H/f/2009/176/e/5/Vector_Swalot_by_ragdoll_kit.png
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Akami-1.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Akami-2.PNG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/Akami-3.PNG
(Art by Ragdoll_Kit. (http://ragdoll-kit.deviantart.com/art/Vector-Swalot-127178229))

Akami's a hard one to get a read on. She's very... Soft-spoken. (Is that a thing? Can I call her soft-spoken if I can't understand what she says?) She hangs around with the others (and eats even more than Poirot :smallconfused:), but she never really seems to talk or laugh with 'em most of the time. She's not timid, like Mossy is, 'cus he really opened up once he got to know the others. No, she's just... Introverted, I guess. She and I get on really well, though. I think it's 'cus I'm okay with silence, and so is she, and most people don't give her that.

I'unno.

DANIEL
http://th03.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/f/2010/276/d/2/d29f3b8136fee8674b1168ca24acc191-d2y3q0l.jpg

(Art by Skeletall (http://skeletall.deviantart.com/art/Drowzee-178212981))

Daniel's the last person who's really joined our little family in earnest. He's younger than most of the others, though still a little older than John. As soon as I introduced him around, Nella and Elvis took him underwing and they've sorta been bickering about whether he should be stirrin' up trouble with his "big brother" or being a good girl- if a bit of a snark- with his "big sis."

Daniel's eyes are... Deep. And I haven't had a single bad dream since I caught him. When he's with others, he postures a little to try to fit in- something not even John does, really- But when he's by himself he's really a very gentle, hopeful soul.

...

And the rest! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=cfR7qxtgCgY#t=55s)

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20199984/11/AND THE ReST!.PNG

Yeah, uh... I'll talk about these guys another day.

Latah!

---------------

So that's our show, thanks for watching! :smalltongue:

I've already got a team planned for taking on Whitney- Some of it I KNOW are fan favorites, though I do admit that Skippy's in there too for his ridiculously good resistances. I'd gladly take suggestions about which Pokemon you'd like me to showcase going forward, and I'm hoping to rip off Deme take inspiration from authors I particularly respect around here and try to put a little more character into each of my Pokémon.

But I'd like feedback! What have you been liking about these updates? What hasn't worked for you? Have you been checking out the artists we've been stealing from featuring? Are the video links still funny? :smallwink: Don't worry, we won't sic Myrtle on you.

(maybe.)

EDIT: (oh, by the way, there's a super good reason I didn't get a Bagon, and that should be apparent when SJ updates.)

Woah, Move Tutor opperates on Casino coins? Totally don't blame you for going that option instead of a new pokemon. Move Tutors be awesome yo.

Deme
2013-04-17, 08:24 AM
It's alright to rip off of me; I rip off lots of things. Only I'm subtle and call them 'references.'

Anyway, I look forward to your efforts!

You know, that was kind of a fluke. I didn't know about him while I built up my coin totals. I also haven't been able to get him to show up again, which makes me wonder whether he was a one-time deal.

(Incidentally, he only taught Flamethrower, Thunderbolt and Ice Beam.)

Also, offscreen between this update and the next one, I rebuilt to 9999... And then bought every TM they had available, building up between each. I can still afford a Pokémon now.

(The only thing that's baking my noodle is that for some reason, the Fire Blast TM isn't showing up in my TM case. I think that might be a glitch. It's not that I intended to USE it right now, but it'd be cool if I hadn't spent over 5000 coins on it. :smalltongue:)

Further sidenote: Do y'guys think it's time for me to fix EEPY's lack of ability? It should theoretically obey now. Doesn't mean Erin's going to like it, but we could just see about bringing it back into play.

EDIT: He's not a one-time deal, I just found him again.

Turns out that when you actually purchase the TM...

Yup!

You get TM39 Swift instead. Which is... better than nothing? :smallsigh:

(Also, I'm considering swapping out Ephemeral and as-of-yet-unnamed Spearow. Any thoughts on the matter, especially since next update is the fight against Whitney?)

3-I
2013-04-19, 09:23 AM
I'd be happier about it if I didn't now have three copies of Swift from testing. I may be good at the slot machine minigame, but that's still a couple hours I won't get back. :smallyuk:

Also, can Ephemeral learn Dragon Claw? 'Cus there's that guy in the Science Center that teaches Dragon Claw.

Alright. That's a good warm up for today. Let's...

Oh. You're all here. Been awhile, hasn't it? No, don't mind me, I'll just be training up this Spearow.



Aren't I supposed to be giving it to some guy on Route 31? Well, yes, in theory. But you see...

:smallsigh: People are stupid somedays. People are just really depressingly stupid.

Anyway, I've been training up for the gym in this town - they say that the gym leader is a fiend without compare, striking terror in the hearts of man and Pokemon alike with her cruel demeanor - not to mention her fearsome partner, an infamous creature known Miltank.

3-I notes: Uh. [citation needed]

And so, before we go into this fray, let's take a moment to meet the team that's going into the gym.

Meet Amber (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm1_zBSUYFc)

Hey look buddy, I'm Amber. I'm a Quilava. That means I solve problems. Now, not problems like 'why do Pokémon fight?' Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.

I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean motherhubbard from stirrin' up a rollout and knockin' me out into the next region?

The answer?

Use MORE fire.

Like this here flamethrower attack I got. Lit by me. SHAPED by me. And you'd best hope... Not pointed at you.

Aaron's notes: Amber... Amber is by far the heart and soul of this team. She's dependable, smart, and will more often than not be willing to cheer on the others if they're feeling down. That said, she has a tendency towards over-confidence in her own abilities, and sometimes tries to handle things by herself that should be left to others.

Meet Neville (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA9XFzxTTOQ)

Um... I don't even know where to start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talkin' to?

Yo, what's up?

D-do you have any idea, any idea who I am?

Basically, kind of a big deal!

http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/104/b/e/sir_oddish_by_politoadboy-d61o693.png
politoadboy (http://politoadboy.deviantart.com), I thank you

Oh man, that's beautiful. Heh!

Ya' listenin'? OK. Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brotha' - I hurt people.

BOINK! I'm a force'a nature!

BONK! If you was from where I was from, you'd be dead! Woo!

Aaron's notes: Neville tries hard. He tries really, really hard. He's not nearly as strong as some of his teammates, but he makes up for it in spirit and gusto. He's also the comedian of the group and likes wearing 'disguises' and hiding behind things in order to prank the rest of the team.

Meet Bumi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm1_zBSUYFc)

I am Bulky Rock Type. And these are my Rocks.

I weigh one hundred fifty kilograms and I throw five-hundred dollar self-crafted at two hundred rocks per minute.

...

Oh my Arceus, who touched Flopsie? Alright. WHO TOUCHED MY ROCKS?

Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe, maybe. But I have yet to meet Pokemon who can outsmart Rock Tomb.

CRY SOME MORE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Aaron's notes: Bumi is a no-nonsense professional. He comes out, does his job, and asks nothing more than to be told "Good job." The worst kept secret on the team is his ego. If there's any sort of mark or dirt on him, he feels obligated to clean it off, but does his damnest to hide it. On the other hand, he's taken on the watchful parent role - if someone wanders off too far, he's usually not too far behind them when they catch back up.

Boom. Critical Hit.

Battlin' a good job, mate! It's challengin' work, out of doors... I guarantee you'll not go hungry-

'cause at the end of the day, long as there's two trainers left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone KO'd.

Oooh.

Dad? Dad, I'm a- ye- Not a "crazed water-gunman," Dad, I'm a trainer's teammate... Well, the difference bein' one's a job, and the other's mental sickness!

I'll be honest with ya: my parents do not care for it.

… I think his mate saw me.... Yes, yes he did!

Feelins'? Look mate, you know who has a lot of feelings?

Blokes what hurt their teammates in confusion. Professions have standards.

Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to KO everything you face.

SJ says: After all... (http://ky-nim.deviantart.com/art/TF2-Pokemon-Sniper-256616230)

Aaron's notes: Seabiscuit... what can I say about this little guy? He's fast, and knows how to maneuver himself - sometimes, watching him move around (both in and out of combat)... it's like watching a parkour master. He takes exceptional care of his physical shape, and has helped most of the team out of at least one sticky situation with a clever, out-of-the-box idea.

Meet Ephemeral (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciL7OKWSu10)

"Intruder Alert! Ephemeral is in the party!"

"Ephemeral is in the party?"

"Protect the TM 28!"

"We need to protect the TM 28!"

"Yo! A lil' help here!"

"All right, all right, I got it. Stand back, son. 1, 1, 1, ummm... 1!"

"Let's go, let's go-"

"INCOMING!"

"AAAAAAH - Hey it's here!"

"Ahem."

"Gentlemen. (http://cache.ohinternet.com/images/thumb/3/33/Gentlemen.jpg/618px-Gentlemen.jpg)"

"I see the TM is safe."

"Safe and sound, mm-hmm!"

"Yeah it is!"

"Tell me... did anyone happen to encounter a Swablue on the way here?"

"No? Then we still have a problem... and a Fury Attack"

"Ooooh, big problem. I've KO'd plenty of Flyin'-types; they're dime-a-dozen Peck-attackin' Never-Useds - like you! No offense"

"If you managed to defeat them, I assure you, they were not like me. And nothing, nothing like the pocket monster loose in here."

"What're you? President of her fan club?"

"No! Zat would be your mother!"

"I-what the-"

"Indeed, and she's here to flinch-hax US! So, listen up boy, or a floor-sweeping starring your mother will be the second worst thing that happens today."

"This Bird has already breached our defenses..."

"And worst of all, she could be anywhere! She could be in this very room! She could be YOU! She could be ME! She could even be-"

Critical Hit! It's Super Effective!

"Whoa, whoa whoa!"

"What? It was obvious! That Spearow was Ephermal! Watch, he'll turn any second now..."

"Any second now..."

"So, we still got problem."

"Big problem - All right, who's ready to go find this Spy?"

"Right behind you~"

"Ah... Nous ne commettons pas le plagiat, j'espčre"

Aaron's notes: Ephemeral is an interesting contradiction to watch. Proud, keen as a Scyther's arm, and with a lacking sense of fair play to those she doesn't know, but to those she calls friends, she's got a heart of gold, and is always willing to comfort you if you're going on hard times.

And Arceus save you if she concludes that you're a bully.

Meet Bridget (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDYNuD4CwlI)

KoopaKidDS (http://koopakidds.deviantart.com), you scare me.

"I fear no Pokemon... but that thing... it scares me."

"No, I ain't - I ain't talkin' about that freak, all right?"

"One shutters to imagine what fiendish thoughts lie behind those eyes; what dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?"

Aaron's notes: I honestly cannot figure this guy out. One moment he's loyal, willing and a powerful companion, the next, I look into his eyes and see nothing but ice and darkness.

Best not to think on it.

SJ says: Life's a bit rough, sorry for the mini-update. I'll be posting the rest of this update soon, though.

Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore.



GAH!

You read that, didn't you? I... I like the ocean. It lets me think, even if it is a little rainy.

Anyway, I picked up this notebook at the Department store and...

Why am I explaining this anyway?

Number 129, MAGIKARP.
The FISH Pokémon.
Type: Water
Ability: Swift Swim (Raises Speed in rain)
Height: 2'11". Weight:22.0 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:


Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it. Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many Magikarp deposited there by the flow. It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.

SJ's notes: The Pokedex... has a thing against Magikarp. It's almost hilarious how much text the entries spend on insulting the fish. That said, it's not entirely inaccurate. Until it gets to Level 15, it doesn't know any moves except for Splash, which literally does nothing (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/377178). Of course, that all changes when it evolves.

3-I's notes: Magikarp gets a bad rap. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye7b3bOQ6lY)

Mmm. Tacos.

"You see, I told you so! There's lots of things I know. 'Ponine... she knows her way around!"

So, anyway, when I was wandering around the Underground, Bridget tugged at my sleeve. He had this:

Once I cleaned the dirt... and ketchup (arceus i hope that was ketchup) off of it, I decided to check out what the Game Corner was all about. First, ran into this guy outside:

Yes. Bumi can learn Flamethrower. I find it incredible as well.

Yeah. He went back into the Game Corner.

Godspeed, brother. Laissez les bon temps rouler.

Anyway, for those keeping score at home, this is a pretty big upgrade for Amber. Ember's got Base 40 power. Flamethrower has 90. Quilava do learn Flamethrower naturally, but not until level 54.

In other words, Amber went from awesome to AWESOME.

Salutes Roky320 (http://roky320.deviantart.com/)
Number 371, BAGON.
The ROCK HEAD Pokémon.
Type: Dragon
Ability: Rock Head (Prevents recoil damage.)
Height: 2'00". Weight:92.8 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:


Bagon has a dream of one day soaring in the sky. In doomed efforts to fly, this Pokémon hurls itself off cliffs. As a result of its dives, its head has grown tough and as hard as tempered steel. Although it is small, this Pokémon is very powerful because its body is a bundle of muscles. It launches head-butts with its ironlike skull. Bagon harbors a never-ending dream of one day soaring high among the clouds. As if trying to dispel its frustration over its inability to fly, this Pokémon slams its hard head against huge rocks and shatters them into pebbles.

SJ's notes: Bagon is an interesting Pokemon in terms of design. It's a little lemming dragon thing that literally throws itself off of cliffs to get stronger and because it believes it can fly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbUpPVOEkdA). It's also one of the two pseudo-lengendary Pokemon (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pseudo-legendary) in Gen 3, and as such, has the stats and move pool to live up to that status. Salamence, the 3rd stage, is a force to be reckoned with.

3-I's notes: Have you ever noticed how many Pokémon have three ridges on their heads like this? 'S weird.

Anyway, the little Dreadlocks Dragon. Never trained it. Fought against it. Vehemently disliked having to fight against it. And hey, you know how we feel about dragons.

"Excuse me, barmaid, I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring. I ordered an extra large boy with meaty arms, extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking fish bone."

(I named it Toothless.)

Number 063, ABRA.
The PSI Pokémon.
Type: Psychic
Ability: Synchronize (Passes on status problems.)
Height: 2'11". Weight:43.0 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Abra sleeps for eighteen hours a day. However, it can sense the presence of foes even while it is sleeping. In such a situation, this Pokémon immediately teleports to safety. Observation revealed that it uses Teleport to change its location once every hour.

SJ's notes:

"My Brain is Open!"

3-I says: Abra and its evolved forms used to be the king of the metagame. That's what happens when you don't have any effective counters. The combination of Ghost type being full of poison types and Bug type having no worthwhile moves... A powerful psychic type wiped entire teams by itself, and one with Sp.Atk as high as this guy gets?

Yeah, you saw a lot of Abralutions back in the day.

Y'still do, apparently. To quote Smogon's notes on Gen V, "Alakazam has had an interesting run throughout the generations, but rest assured, his place in OU this generation is as stable as his mustache is amazing."

And I don't know if you noticed, but Alakazam has one damn handsome mustache.

(But can we please lobby Gamefreak to put a moratorium on Pokémon who know no offensive moves when caught? It was funny once, guys, but it's getting real old, here.)

So, I decided to go back to the Pokecenter, and get ready for tomorrow. For tomorrow, I would attack the gym.

(First, a stats page of the two new guys!)

http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/103/c/9/Rollout_by_Pechachu.gif
Pechachu's (http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Rollout-160592475)name is difficult to say quickly.

3-I exposits: Rollout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5JYkUk-WgQ). Rollout is a shrieking malevolant bastard of a move. It's a five-consecutive-turn move that starts at base power 30, then doubles in power every turn it hits. That's a maximum of 480 base power. 480. And moreover, if the Pokémon has used defense curl beforehand, its base power at each stage is multiplied by two. We're talking a move with a base power of 960. I don't care what you're using, that's going to HURT. Add to that the fact that it's a rock-type move, so nothing has an outright immunity to it.

Rollout will mess you up.

Now, like all really powerful moves, it does come with a drawback: Rollout has to keep hitting to keep gaining power. If it stops connecting, you're back down at square one. This'd be a great drawback... If it wasn't for the fact that everything that learns it is bulky and, usually, defensively oriented. Knockouts ain't coming easy. There are even some special walls who learn it. If you don't have a type resistance to keep you alive, your only option when faced with Rollout is to either start knocking accuracy/raising evasion or to spam something supereffective and pray.

It's alright though, we've got a nothing trick here -

(This is how I learned about the ability.)

Anyway, time to use a move so powerful, so broken, so meta-game changing in competitive play, it's banned in everything except Uber-tier, and even has it's own Clause (http://www.smogon.com/bw/banlist/).

SJ says: Oh, the Evasion clause. First, a video demonstration (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qks7kqIfhHo). In essence, moves that raise your evasion are banned because they make the game un-fun in the eyes of the people in charge. Whether or not you agree, it remains fact that 1 double reduces your accuracy to 75% (and it's multiplicative, so a move with 80% accuracy to start is now down to 60%), 2 drops accuracy to 60%, and 6 gives even 100% accurate moves a 33% chance to actually hit. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions, but I'm all for the evasion clause in actual competitive play. Against Whitney? Well, all's fair in love, war and Pokemon battles

Ages. I think the hackers mayyy have intended her to keep her Wake Up Boss status in this game, and believe me, Thick Fat makes that a definite thing.

I had a slightly easier time with her, which you'll see in the next update. (Normally we do try to avoid showin' the exact same events twice in any kind of detail, but Whitney's gym justifies it. Besides, there's some stuff about it I want to point out.)

Also, the ministry of truth will be around shortly to write something about the Evasion Clause for those of you who don't know about it. Sorry 'bout that.

You see nooooothing.

Man... My mouth tastes like... An LP update.

(Sorry about the delay, everypeople! This one's gonna be extra-long to compensate, since I have a lot of material to get through.)

Just... Stick with it. I want you to beat her and replace her as gym leader as soon as possible. Quickest way would be to teach your Jigglypuff a fighting type move with a TM and do something to increase its speed so it gets the first hit. It's tanky enough to withstand the first turn of Rollout, so when the Miltank tries that, hit it with a Sing to break the chain. That'll give you a little time to heal up or to deal the coup de grace.

I am being completely serious right now. You are this gym's only chance of ever being respectable, ever, because the only other sane person in this building has a team entirely made up of Sentrets.

You can do this, Bridget. I believe in you. Your Pokémon are both cute and strong, and they are Goldenrod's only hope.

http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/340/b/1/real_Sudowoodo_by_JrClerk.jpg

(today's sesame street is brought to you by the letter JrClerk on deviantArt (http://jrclerk.deviantart.com/art/real-Sudowoodo-145886611))

Number 185, SUDOWOODO.
The IMITATION Pokémon.
Type: ROCK
Ability: Sturdy
Height: 3'11". Weight: 83.8 Lbs.
Pokédex Information:

Sudowoodo camouflages itself as a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. However, because the forelegs remain green throughout the year, the Pokémon is easily identified as a fake during the winter. Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears to be closer to a rock than a plant. It hates water, so it will flee if it starts raining.

3-I's notes: What the heck is Sudowoodo supposed to be, anyway? Like, a petrified-wood version of a stick bug? And if that's what it is, why doesn't it learn any bug-type moves?

I've never really trained one, ever. Rock-types are surprisingly poor at defense, which is supposed to be their one big thing. I hear this thing got a turnaround in Gen 4 by getting Wood Hammer, but... Big deal. It's a rock-type with a grass-type move. It's good for maybe one trick on a water-type. Except that like everything gets Earthquake or Brick Break or Iron Tail and, hell, let's be honest, Grass-type Pokémon aren't exactly uncommon.

Y'all are free to make me train this one, though.

SJ's notes: To be honest, I never understood Sudowoodo. Like, it's a fake tree! But it's a rock! According to Bulbapedia, it's just based on petrified wood... so... yeah. I got nothin'.

Statwise, it's got pretty good Attack and Defense (Base 100 and 115 respectively), mediocre HP and Sp. Def (70 and 65) and 30's in SpA and Speed. This thing isn't going to win any races any day soon. It also doesn't get any interesting moves this generation (though Rock Slide at level 25 is a nice touch), but if you just need a solid, simple physical wall, it'll do in a pinch.

(Also, 3-I forgot the ever useful weakness to Water-type moves (namely, Surf)

(Why were they even announcing their plans in front of you like that? Compared to this, the Rockets seemed competent.)

Anyway, trust me, if there was any crime boss holed up in New Bark, we'd all know about it. There are like maybe seven of us living in the whole town, we'd notice a newcomer. (Unless it was that redhead jerk. :smallyuk:)
