I now have all three starters need to do some levelling though!

 

[Geostigma]

I now have all three starters

eww :< the starters cant sweep for crap, cant wall, only ivy and blasta can maybe sometimes be played as a check. None can counter at all...
So much time invested to get crap pokemon ._.

 

[Joe]

I don't think he gives a toss

 

[Geostigma]

I figured as much lol, its still kind of a facepalm move lol.

 

[Super Mario]

Im still miffed no Milotic. I'll wait for the next patch when its available.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

^^You might as well start now. It looks like they're cycling Gen III pokemon availability so if you wait, some pokemon available now won't be available later...

 

[Joe]

I think that Feebas was even available for a little while as I've seen trainers with it, which must mean Milotic was available at one point too.

 

[Super Mario]

Hmmm we do need dragonite.

I didn't understand a word of that

 

[Super Mario]

He's talking about the meta style that most trainers off the game have, as well as the capability of one pokemon to sweep the shit off an entire team. I heard tales of a Magikarp capable of doing this feat with flail alone.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

The meta-game is a lot more complex than battling NPC trainers in the main game Force. I mean, even the big bad trainers like the Elite Four and Champions can be beaten fairly easily with no more preparation than having some levels and a working knowledge of type advantage. Human players take it substantially farther.

Pokemon, especially after Gen 5, is like playing 2 games of chess while trying to count cards at a black jack table at the same time lol.

Essentially though to clarify my post :

Sweep = A pokemon that can take on a players entire team and basically 1 hit each of there pokemon. (Lucario sorta, Blaziken, any dragon for the most part , ect.)

Wall = A pokemon with excellent defensive stats and skills that your enemy can not kill. Generally a Wall will also use spells like like Wish, leech seed, drain punch ect. to further annoy the enemy trainer by healing regularly. Pokemon like Umbreon, Ludicolo, scrafty and Breloom do this very well.

Check = A pokemon that is somewhat like a counter but more specific to a certain type of pokemon and may not be so easy to switch in efficiently.

Counter = Just a broad term for pokemon that can counter multiple types. Ie like switching in an ice/water spammer for a dragon/fire team ect.


The reason why getting all 3 starters in this generation is sort of a facepalm move is because there not all that great and even npc trainers can sometimes easily drop some of them. Especially charizard which is almost universally known as the worst starter ever made and is the sole reason why almost every Fire starter has been an uber afterwards as compensation.
Ivysaur and Blastoise have some redeeming qualities if played well but over all theres several pokemon the wild that can be caught in moments that are leagues better then all 3 starters

The meta-game tends to forget the wisdom of my fellow Dark-type Master, Karen of the Elite Four.

"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.

She's only half right, there definitely are weak Pokemon (I'm looking at you Unown, Skiploom, etc) but people should still be kinder when folks try to play with Pokemon that aren't necessarily the best

Meanwhile in the game, people keep making me really awesome offers for my Scizor.

What nature is it?

 

[Obsidian Fire]

Only PokeMMO is barely into Gen III and they're aren't any lengdaries... so they're meta is a lot different from Smogen's.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

I'm sure a lot of the strategies are the same ones thrown around in other competitive scenes. I bet even as we type at each other, someone is attempting the SkarmBliss Lockdown

Only a few legendaries are uber
Not to mention Smogon has been covering most games meta's soooo...

edit:
GLD yep, I found a few skarmbliss teams the other day.

Im kinda hoping Pokemmo takes it time getting into Gen5, Im not a huge fan of the ferrothorn over use or the Jellithorn teams xD

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

You can hardly blame them though, they go so well together do Jellicent and Ferrothorn. Its like they were made to double battle together.

 

[Joe]

I believe my Scizor's nature is Adamant.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Well no wonder they want it so bad. When you're playing solo through the main adventure of most main series games, Adamant Scizor = Win Button Damn handy critters to have on hand.

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

So can Dunsparce be obtained before the elite four or must one beat the elute for first like in Firered?

 

[Xelazander]

I think you need to beat the elite 4 to go on to the next region.
Not there yet though.

And yeah about my current noob team, I'm just having fun with random pokemon as I progress through the story; obviously not going to use any of the 1st gen starters if I do endgame PvP or something

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

I wonder how long it'll take someone to Nuzlocke this.

 

[Kuroto]

Okay, I have finally created my own character and I'm on my way to become the greatest Pokémon master! So far I've captured four Pokémon and lost twice to my rival...

My character's name is Chokuro, so if anyone wants to add me, feel free to.
