I think this is, without a doubt, one of the best pokemon random battles I've ever seen. It's basically poetry in pokemon battle form: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-152897534

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

On-topic: Depending on where you live, you might want to enable emails from the Pokemon Club. That Heracross/Pinsir Megastone distribution is via codes in Gamestop if you're in the US, but those of us in 'the Americas' but not the USA will instead receive a code via email. At least, you will so long as you've actually enabled emails.

The distribution date is "sometime in September", so remember to enable emails! I know I had it off, like every other email campaign ever offered to me... but I'm a sucker for bribes.

There are reports that the Pokemon Trading Card Game Online is coming to ipad

Bored, so I'm going to talk about my favorite typings!

1. Grass / rock

I love this typing so much. It eliminates the two of the biggest problems with rock type (that being earthquake and water moves) and it's remaining weaknesses are not a humongous concern. It's also immune to all the grass status moves like leech seed and spore and what have you. The only things you have to really watch out for are fighting moves and ice moves, as both bug and steel moves are pretty rare.

Too bad only one single pokemon gets this great combo.

2. Pure water

On paper you might think water types tend to be nothing special with two major weaknesses, and effective against only three types, but you'd be wrong. This is because in real battles, both grass offensive moves and electric offensive moves are quite rare. You wouldn't see more than one pokemon on the enemy team pack them, if they even bothered to begin with. Then you consider than there are a LOOOOOT of walls in the water clan.

Honestly they only have one practical weakness. Toxic.

That or some super powered wall breaker buffed up to his nose with swords dances or something.

3. Poison / dark

4 resistances, immune to psychic, and only weak to ground. It's damn good yo. It's also immune to toxic and will get rid of toxic spikes. Offensively it has access to great STAB moves too, like sucker punch, crunch, knock off, and poison jab. Given how much more useful poison has become, it's a great typing to have.  The only thing stopping this typing from being awesome is the fact that only two pokemon get it. They're not too bad but definitely not A+ material.

If a specially defensive wall had it though... holy crap it'd be crazy.

4. Dark / ghost

There's a damn good reason why the only two guys that get this awesome typing have kinda crappy stats. Can you imagine if something with 600 stats had ghost / dark? It's be the most broken shit in the game. Even though it's now (thankfully) weak to fairy, it still doesn't change the fact that it's hard as all hell to kill.

Not to mention those two buggers like to pack will-o-wisp. So good luck ever killing them physically.

The thing about great types now umiman is that now Gamefreak is starting to take typing much more seriously.

The fact that the vast majority of dragons are "Dragon/Ground" and "Dragon/Flying" is not a coincidence... with Goodra only being a pure dragon because Fairy types exist now (it would never be a dragon/water because that would be completely unbalanced for a non-legendary quasi-legendary).

Besides wasn't it something like Fairy/Ghost pokemon that would have no weaknesses?

But let me see here

Fightning/Water
-Strength, Surf, Dive, Waterfall all in one pokemon YES! Get me that HM Slave! (Thanks Polywhirl!)

I need to check Fairy weaknesses... Though I don't like Fairy as a type too much because they are pretty type cast...

Then again I like the Normal type in concept but not in execution... (though the effectiveness of normal types has been steadily been going down)

Normal/Fire
-Real life animal that has gained the power to breathe fire? OOOH!!! it could be the Chimera! that would be awesome!

Ghost/Normal
-OOOH!!! an ordinary pokemon that has become possessed!

Dang Normal just enhances all the types... Girafferig do you see now how it is done?

[Furtuka]

There's gonna be a "shocking new project" announced next tuesday,

[Sirus]

The sequel to Hey You Pikachu?

[Neonivek]

They are announcing a Pikachu megavolution?

Honestly who would be surprised?

[Tawa]

Hey ^_wii U, Pikachu!

[Cerol Lenslens]

Electrike in his very own platform game "I Wanna Be the Mascot"?

[Furtuka]

ignore this post

[Neonivek]

Ohh shocking new PROJECT

Sorry I pissed the capitalized part.

I can't imagine it being anything interesting to be honest... I doubt they will revive the mystery dungeon series (and honestly I feel like it pretty much ran its course), I doubt they will revive the Aspiration of Nobunaga Crossover... and I doubt they will bring a genuinely interesting series...

So I am going to guess another Pokémon Coliseum game for the Wii U... One of the few cases where the later created Console version is worse then the hand held one.

[Furtuka]

well that's the most amusing typo you've made yet XD

wait Coliseum was never handheld

[Neonivek]

I mean, more or less, that no one would play a Coliseum game over the regular pokemon games.

Also what typo? O_o?

[Furtuka]

Sorry I pissed the capitalized part.

^


Anyways to be fair, even though Coliseum had it's flaws, to my knowledge it has a pretty large fanbase.

[Tawa]

Yeah, it apparently did way better than the bomb of PBR.

And I wanted to make a joke about how the leaders or whatever of the colosseums who had the Pokémon-themed outfits were furries, but I couldn't think of a suitable one.
