Pokemon Discussion thread!

Haha I was smashed by that Zellough dude because all my pokemon were weird ones I like (like Groudon and Dusknoir) and he had all his perfect pokemon!

[Knux]

Oh man, you and I are like opposites. I care about EVing and good natures (although I pick natures based on the type of character I want the Pokemon on my team to have and on how well the nature works with it), but I choose Pokemon based on how cool I think they are.

That's cool, man. What matters is that you enjoy the game, which is what it's all about. There are some competitive players that bash others for not doing the same, and I feel sad for those guys. Competitive play, though fun, can be daunting to get into and they should know better than saying that especially when they do it themselves.

That said, if anyone here wants to get into it, you can ask me for help as stated earlier. Don't be shy, seriously. I have been EV training a lot of Pokemon for quite a while now (2007, and still going) and I'd feel useful helping others. Speaking of Mismagius, I made a Misdreavus the other day for competitive...

Now, if you ask me about what my team would be by appearance, the team I had in my trainer card except for Gengar, Starmie and Aerodactyl. Replace them with Blastoise, Metagross and Dragonite and you have my appearance team.

Pokemon Silver was my second game. And it was a rented copy.

I cried for five freaking hours because I raised a Magmar so well.

Anyway, Magmar's my favorite Pokemon.
Gen 1 was amazing, nothing's going to top it.
Gen 2 unfortunatly only had one pokemon that didn't resemble an animal or plant, and that killed most of the Gen 2 pokemon for me.
Gen 3 was great, I quite enjoyed it.
Gen 4 may be the thing that butchers pokemon for me. It's not bad, but it killed so many amazing Gen 1 pokemon with evolutions.
Gen 5 looks fine. I'll buy Black.

My least favorite pokemon ever is Magmortar.
How is a fat sumo with a Dark Man 3 buster on fire
supposed to be a badass flaming goblin.
How.

I've noticed a lot of hate... opinion shoehorning time.
The anime has been bad since Hoenn at least. Red/Blue... they were good games. For their time. A lot of Pokemon from Gen1 sucked, but people don't notice because of the almighty nostalgia. Gen2 was awesome. Just... awesome. I enjoyed Gen3 ALOT but not as much as Gen2. Gen3 had an amazing variation of locations... a floating log city, a crater thing city, a tree city. That's fucking amazing. It also had Gardevoir. The best Pokemon in the history of ever. <3 Gardevoir. Gen4 is good... they added Gallade which was good, considering. They had a lot of cool Pokemon... but some made no fucking sense. Worst one, but still pretty awesome. Gen5 looks like the best Gen EVER. HOLY SHIT. It's so improved... it has a lot of REALLY cool Pokemon. A lot are weird... but they're still COOL. Even Gear is cool. Though... I can never forgive Tepig... never... ever... but the others are great. Snivy is not a good name, but I'll just name it Smugleaf. It has some crappy Pokemon, but seriously. A guy made of BLADES. A THREE HEADED DRAGON. ETC.
That's all. For now.

YES MAJORA'S MASK IS BETTER THAN OCARINA OF TIME YOU NOSTALGIC DUMBFUCKS

...You were saying something?

[LlamaHombre]

I feel that I should clarify my opinions...

I do agree with the above. But Gen 1 made up for it with complete and utter badass okemon such as Electabuzz, Blastoise, Mewtwo, and Articuno.
Gen 2 was amazing in gameplay, story, and music. I'm never going to forget my Poliwrath and my Magmar from silver.
Gen 3 was pretty good. It had Gardevoir and Blaziken, which started the "make more pokemon look like humans" idea. Doesn't stop it from being a good generation.
Gen 4 kinda scares me for Gen 5...
Do we really need a pokemon god?
Gen 5 might top all of these if the pokemon don't have the same fag factor they had in 4.
Them's my two cents.

[KillerChair]

Seriously... i will only play the gen5 game because its a pokemon game... but not for the pokemon themselves... they just suck dinosaur balls.

Gen2 was still the best concidering Szisor came to existance.

[LlamaHombre]

Scizor is quite a good pokemon.
Actually, looking back, Scizor, Magby, And Elekid are pretty awesome.

[RevolverOshawott]

Elekid's kool. Human Pokemon are also good for teh pr0ns! Gardevoir. Yummy. As long as it isn't a tranny, I might add.

Fuckwin here. I'm totally on the Majora > Ocarina bandwagon. I mean, Majora had an alien invasion man. Aliens! In my Zelda!

Back to Pokemon, 5th gen is already cool because of the fuckwin Pokemon Zuruzukin. Rebellious, mohawk, dark/fighting, baggy pants lizard is gonna wreck up everyone's shit. He's totally going onto my team, along with Murando.

2nd gen held the best Pokemon memories to me, because it was back when I started to finally learn how to actually play the damned game well. I learned that I'd be in deep crap if all I did was raise my starter Pokemon, I actually killed the major legendary of the game and saved afterwards, I wasn't able to cheat anymore, and I had to learn how to battle well enough to win for once. Also it had Elekid, and Smeargle, oh, and Zap Cannon was a TM. I miss when Zap Cannon was a TM. You could teach it to Flareon for gods sake, that was so cool! Being able to teach a fire type a destructive electric attack.

I'll admit some designs pissed me off in 4th gen, but I grew to like most of the evolutions that came out. I actually like Electivire now, now that the idea of an Electric Sasquatch sounds really cool to me. Rhyperior and Mismagius are team members of mine now and I grew to really like they're designs. Gallade was the first 4th gen guy I liked, really, and Probopass is just wonderful. Also Rampardos was a good fossil Pokemon.

Oh, and I almost forgot this...

As long as it isn't a tranny, I might add.

Woo, Majora bandwagon!

I must say, I've come to love all of the Gen 4 Pokemon, especially the HM Slave, Bidoof.

Speaking of HM Slaves, that's what I named my Ratatta in Heart Gold.

[TrueTenguMan]

Woo, Majora bandwagon!

This is relevant

Anyway I I'll trade you my Lvl 100 Medapod for a HM slave Bidoof anytime

[Smunch]

All right, here is the ultimate tier list for Pokemon generations.
