Very Important Day by Gigglet on 2015-02-14 14:09:00 UTC Reply

Yes today may be the day of love but something much more important is happening. My birthday! I'm so excited I now have enough gift cards and actual money that I can get some video games and I can get SO MANY BOOKS. I hope all of you guys have a great valentines day too.

Oh, for Arceus' sake... Ah well, here's a dustpan and a Cleansweep 11 to collect the Spikes with. You can keep 'em, too - they're great for setting up entry hazards!

Have this bowl of home-made chicken soup. It's the best there is.

I'll give ya a +2 Muramasa, a katana from the Ragnarök continuum that gives you +30% Critical Hit Rate, +8% Attack Speed and has a 10% of giving you the "Curse" status on hit.

A very merry birthday to you! by Voyd on 2015-02-14 14:50:00 UTC Reply

Have the best magic shovel I can give you: a +1 holy keen vorpal shovel.

It has double the normal crit rate, and automatically beheads on a successful crit! Also does extra damage to evil creatures, and bypasses their damage reduction!

YES! I love D20.

Hey, happy birthday! by SeaTurtle on 2015-02-14 14:35:00 UTC Reply

Eat cake, drink soda, and be merry! *Blows party horn*

So, what video games are you gonna get?

~~I'd suggest Pokémon XY or ORAS because I'm currently obsessing over them right now~~

Thank you it was very merry.
I got Majora's Mask and Pokemon X I'm so happy right now. I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow

Here's to you, PokÃ©bro. by SeaTurtle on 2015-02-15 17:09:00 UTC Reply

...or Pokésister, whichever applies to you. Enjoy your adventure in Kalos!

Protip: there are Riolu in the grass on Route 22 (just east of the first gym!). They have a 5% chance of appearing during the day and range between levels 6 or 7. It's kinda hard to find one but having one on your team is a godsend.

Also: play with your 'mons in Amie. They get exp boost, land crits, dodge attacks, resist otherwise fatal injuries with 1 HP, and more at high affection levels.

Just be careful with those Riolu. by Iximaz on 2015-02-15 18:31:00 UTC Reply

They know Counter, so if you're trying to capture them, they can dish out a lot of damage. They're also kind of fragile before evolving, which is a bit unfortunate.

Anyway, if you do Pokémon-Amie (which I highly recommend because of what SeaTurtle said), the fastest way to get them to full affection is to play with them twice in Head It (Play on Unlimited and get to about 100 points since it goes faster and goes the second-best kind of Puffs), feed them with the best possible Poké Puffs until they're full, and repeat. Don't bother with petting because it takes too long. It should take about fifteen minutes per Pokémon to get them to max affection.

Hey Iximaz, what's your current team? by SeaTurtle on 2015-02-15 22:08:00 UTC Reply

I'm just curious.

Right now, I'm training a Gogoat, Lucario, Delphox (thank you Shauna), Greninja, Zekrom, and Jolteon-- but I recently obtained a Shaymin(!) from the GTS so the Gogoat might be switched out.

~~IT'S SO CUTE AND ADORABLE AND IT GOES TWEET AND I WANT ONE IN REAL LIFE SO I CAN HOLD IT AND FEED IT~~

LOOKIT THE CUTE LITTLE FACE

*ahem*

Well, I'm actually focusing on completing the Pokedex at the moment, so the team I've been using in battles is the one I brought to the E4, though I added an Aggron and a Charizard to the team (Yeah, I went through with four 'mons, but whatever).

Anyway, I have Delphox, Venusaur, Lapras, Jolteon, Charizard, and Aggron. My ideal team (of favorites, not for competitive battling) would be Venusaur, Delphox, Vaporeon, Flygon, Lucario, and Luxray.

My favorite right now is my Talonflame, though- Horus is the best egg-hatcher ever because he can fly me places, too. :3

Have you considered... by SeaTurtle on 2015-02-17 19:35:00 UTC Reply

...adding a Greninja to the team? With a hidden ability Protean and a Hasty nature you can outspeed virtually anything and nuke opponents to death with STAB moves every single time.

The only problem is that Protean nature Frogadiers are exclusively found in water-type friend safaris, so...

I did say my ideal team of favorites. by Iximaz on 2015-02-17 21:04:00 UTC Reply

No offense to Greninja, which I'm sure is a lovely Pokemon, but that tongue... scarf... thing just kind of freaks me out a bit. Looks too much like a writing worm to me. ^^; Besides, isn't Protean Greninja banned from competitive? (Not that it matters to me, but...)

That won't stop me from wanting one, though. As a filthy casualcore Pokémon player I will do anything for an edge over my ~~victims~~ friends!

That being said I've only just figured out what EVs/IVs are and how natures affect Pokémon but I swear that I won't become one of those people. Even if some members of my teams have crap growth stats they've been part of the squad since day one and they're going to the Hall of Fame, dammit!

That comic is perfect. by Iximaz on 2015-02-17 22:39:00 UTC Reply

Though I will admit to naming my Ditto PlMPDADDY (The I is actually a lowercase L to get past the censors) because I am a horrible person like that.

You ever try playing a Nuzlocke? I adored my Bibarel, which I would never have considered using before the Nuz run. Now I always have one as my Water type. granted it's always loaded up with HM moves, but Rock Climb, Strength, Waterfall, and Surf are solid moves for playing against NPCs and Bibarel gets STAB from all of those, so I can honestly say they always wreck everything in their paths.

Gotta love those early-game derps. *cuddles her Raticate*

Never did a Nuzlocke, no. by SeaTurtle on 2015-02-18 03:13:00 UTC Reply

Filthy casualcore, remember? :D

I get what you mean by "surprisingly good HM slaves". I have this one Unfezant-- Fowler-- who was just meant to learn Fly and not be part of the main party. Well, it turns out that with with an adamant nature and massive IVs and EVs in attack, Fowler quickly became a physical monster that dealt insane amounts of damage from something even as simple as Quick Attack. With Giga Impact on him, it's GG as soon as he hits the field. Needless to say he's been instated as a permanent squaddie and is the designated anti-evertyhing-that-isn't-rock-electric-or-ice Pokémon.
