I wish there was a way to take a program like Showdown and get a "homebrew" version of it. Like, one for the hacked versions, where you could place your own moves and pokemon and items in, etc., and distribute that "ruleset", so that others could battle you. For instance, I was coming up with a starter line and a bunch of moves for fun- an early-learned move of each type with power 40 (20 for the fire, it was a Fire-type Doubleslap, basically) with a unique effect- the fire was multihit, the Water had greater crit chance, and the Grass would disable a move used by the opponent. May not be balanced, but it's something I'd like to be able to do one day.

I was going to start a pokemon hack, but nope, waaaaaaaay to lazy, waaaaay too little time.

Oh dear Arceus... I want a Kyogre, but just the trouble I'll have to transfer mine all the way from Saphire to Y gives me a headache already. And to compound the problem, I don't even remember if that one had a decent Nature... It almost makes me want to simply put something in the GTS and wait 'till someone sends me one, even if it will probably be a hacked 'mon.

Ugh, in the same boat with my Mew. It's still stuck in my Ruby version, and I forgot to reach Pal Park in my Diamond before I transferred all my mons in it over to Gen V. I still need to beat Platinum and the second Ranger game so I can get 2 more Darkrais and my Jirachi >_<

I tried out my Pearl cartridge and it's totally non-functional. It booted once, but never again. It's sad, because that cart has most pokemon I have ever caught on it - mainly transferred from my original Sapphire save that I started in 2003. I want to send it to Ninty for repairs, but they said that they won't guarantee that it would be repaired, merely replaced if it were too expensive. Good thing I have platinum.

the rival challenge of the bay12 league has begun. There is still at least one open spot!

Hi guys. Anyone got a Heracross they'd like to trade for my Pinsir?

I got a Heracross if you want one, but I have access to a FS with Pinsir so I don't need Pinsir (will still trade it to you). Would you have a Starmie (exclusive to X) by any chance?

EDIT: Trying to decide whether I should breed below.

Sweeper Chlorophyll (non-mega) Venusaur
Modest/Timid
- Growth
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Earthquake

I prefer this one. I've used it myself, though with solar beam instead of giga drain. It was really powerful but had a distinct weakness.

It's entirely dependent on the sun condition and becomes really bad once that's gone. This is a huge problem considering Charizard Y's sun only lasts 5 turns. So you have 1 turn to set up the sun, 1 turn to switch, and 1 turn to use growth leaving you only 2 turns remaining to sweep. A savvy opponent can stall those two remaining turns and obliterate Charizard when you switch him back in on the third. It's because of this that my own team which uses a Charizard Y drought actually has a second weather user in Tyranitar so as to be less predictable. Not to mention the sun sweeper I use is Volcarona and it's not particularly dependent on sun condition to crush people as it has quiver dance.

You could use Ninetales instead to get 8 turns of sun instead of just 5.

I don't see the point of non-mega stall Venusaur. Lack of thick fat means it's super easy to kill.

Thanks, I do have Ninetales, which I like a lot, and I have a tendency of putting Pokemons I like in the team (regardless of their competitiveness). I use Giga Drain to prevent it being too dependent to the sun.

After having a look at Pinsir, I've decided that I want him more for the team. I'd still be able to get some spare X-exclusives. Have you got Charmander, Bulbasaur, Fennekin and Chespin? I've got access to all of them, so if we're trading exclusives, I could give you one of them instead of a Pinsir.

I've got them all. I can still give you Heracross to fill up your 'Dex. And I'm still looking for Starmie. :p

[neotemplar]

If anyone has any good zubat or growlith I could use them.  Hidden ability togepi would be awesome too. I think i have a staryu and could breed you one. Probably easier for someone with x though.

[Eotyrannus]

@Buri: I'll go catch a Starmie, then!

[RekkaAtsuma]

Kyogre is coolest legendary. Sapphire is coolest game. Everyone lieks mudkipz.

Emerald was better.

Dat post-endgame.

FIX'D U ALL:
Hoenn was the best region and games!
PWN'D

Seriously though, I grew up playing the card game during the Kanto-johto days but it wasnt until Hoenn i got hooked onto the entire franchise and began fanning over the different aspects.
Johto has a lot of nostalgia, but Hoenn has 5x as much for me.
I desperately await a remade Hoenn game release, and X/Y tease me even more with the small snippets about Hoenn in it.

Kalos is my next favorite for sure, having such awesome pokemon on it's own, and no i don't mean megas, for crying out loud My favorite starters come from Hoenn and Kalos.

Pretty much my favorite pokemon list is dominated by Hoenn-releases like Ludicolo and Ralts-line, their later-gen evos(ralts-gallade, snorunt-Froslass) and Kalos pokemon like Talonflame and Malamar
And in that list, which lists each and every pokemon by how much i like it, Hoenn and Kalos pokemon and later-gen-evos of Hoenn pokemon lines dominate the top 30%
I have it written out, but Ill type it up and post it one of these days,

My top-favorite ironically isn't in existence though: Any pokemon that happens to be Fire-Fairy is my favorite, regular, pseudo-legend, legend, starter, or event legend.
---for now though, Talonflame sits comfortably at the top of the list.

[Urist Imiknorris]

My absolute favorite pokemon of any game ever is Magneton, followed closely by Aggron and Clawitzer.

[umiman]

I still like Snorlax the most out of everything.

Team priority doing work. 100% winrate. I also feel extremely dirty using it as it has Talonflame and Azumarill in it. Ugh.

I wasn't trying to start this kind of tread deviation, i just voiced my thoughts, and if this was talked about, it was likely before i joined so, yeah...that'd be my contribution to what's there already.

Edit:
Well, I haven't had time to work on my Cursed Body Froslass yet but just found some down time and guess awhat I agonna does!

It fine~ I was just trying to remember If I really did talk about this before not like anyone cares it all pokemon anyways.

[nuclearwhale]

So I just trained a Quagsire to help deal with Aegislash, and I have to say, I'm impressed. Not only can he successfully deal with Aegislash, he can also go toe to toe with many other offensive Pokemon. That said, I have not had opportunity to try him against many real threats.


Cousin Rusty (Quagsire) @ Leftovers
Ability:Unaware
EVs:Hp:252,Def:252,Atk:4
Impish Nature

-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Toxic
-Recover

I would have taken curse instead of toxic, but I neglected to look up if it needed any non-recover egg moves beforehand.

[umiman]

The only powerful Quagsire I ever fought (I fought several, they're relatively common) used water absorb and stockpile + toxic.

[nuclearwhale]

There's no point using Quagsire if you aren't using an unaware set. There are far better bulky water types in its tier to work with. Quagsire is the kind of pokemon that you use when you get really fed up with a certain type of Pokemon. Not the kind of thing that you use for general purposes. Even in its tier, RU, there are (Or were in gen 5) several pokemon who act as much better bulky water types. Heck, even Alomomola, which is NU is a better water type wall. The only real reason to use Quagsire is for unaware shenanigans.
