Just thought we could use one. Applies to the games, manga, anime, whatever.>Reading Electric Tale of Pikachu>Sabrina is a yamato nadeshiko>One who is at war with a gigantic fucking Haunter with an army of ghosts at his disposal
>Reading Pokemon Special>"Whitney, Gym Leader of Cherrygrove City"
>Watch Pokemon anime before getting GB games>Get Blue and a GBC for a present>About to face Sabrina>Might as well get a Haunter to take on Sabrina>my face when Haunter is OHKO'd and the anime lied to me that ghost type attacks are effective against Psychic.
>>1605This is the same anime that said Pikachu is weak to water attacks.
>possibility of Pokemon board on 4chan>also the current state of /v/>also current state of 4chan in general
>>1613Aside of /v/, it seems fairly normal to me.
>>1614try /po/
>>1607they are
>>1617It's just that only two Ghost type attacks existed then: one is weaker than most good moves even when super effective (Lick) and the other (Night Shade) does fixed damage.Also, they meant to make Ghost's immune to Psychic attacks, but made them neutral to them, so the existing ghost types took double damage from them because they were all also Poison types.
>>1608Well, when you're ten years old and Pokemon was brand new back then... yeah. I mad.
>Pokemon Special in generalThis shit is amazing.
>>1607Haunter was part poison, that's why you got raped.
>Age 11>First playthrough of Blue>"Level up my entire team? Fuck dat I'm just gonna level up my Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard">Breeze through most battles with this strategy>Breeze through the Elite Four>Charizard is running out of PP>Rest of team is level 20 at most>Get ass beaten by Gary>I did not think that out well at all
>>1755Though ironically, if you just used a couple of ethers between Lance and your rival it really is easier than having a full, balanced party.
>Stealth Rock
>>1755I think that was the strategy of the kid that had the copy of LeafGreen I got used from Gamestop a few years ago, though he used Blastoise.
>>1755That was totally my strategy the first time I ever played Pokemon. I got my ass handed to me by Loreli until I realized OH YEAH HEAL ITEMS, RIGHT? Because I had honestly never used them before with my Charizard outleveling everybody by like, 20.My Gyarados is practically like that in Soul Silver, but that's only because I put him on my pokewalker every morning and I don't get much of a chance to play the game otherwise.
>>1935I did the exact opposite in Yellow, the first game I ever owned. I ended up overleveling all my other Pokemon and totally forgetting about Pikachu.When I realized they were all in the thirties and he was still level eighteen, I lost my shit and started apologizing to him profusely.
>>1755EVERY kid does that the first time they play Pokemon.>Realizing that I need a Dusk Stone to evolve my Murkrow.
> Catch a ditto early on in the game>BABEH TIEM
>train outside of Ecruteak>meet only Meowths and Raticates and the occasional Tauros>switch to train Flaaffy>MEET ONLY MAGNEMITES>my face
>Still naming the first bug with a cocoon form "Penis">Still hilarious
>>1989It will never stop being funny.>get whooper from girlfriend>she named it pooper>it knows mud shot and mud bomb
>>1989>>1998>Always name rivals "Dicks", "Faggot", or "Yancy."
>Trying to level up for Red>Nowhere to grind>Elite Four are too strong for me>I am so weak
>>1988Well, that's what Static does.
>>2029There's always a place to grind. The question is, how long do you want to spend doing it? ;)
>>2029Have you got the numbers of the gym leaders yet? Because the rematches with them are good warm up for Red.
>Swarm on Route 13>Get 5 Lucky Eggs.>4 of which I got after 11:00 PM
>>2454>Swarm on route 3>I HAVE NO WAY TO GET TO ROUTE 3
>>2454You lucky son of a bitch.
>>2029Seriously, just grind gym leaders over and over again in Saffron City.Also>Leveling up Larvitar>Realize it doesn't evolve into Tyrannitar until level 55.>so much grinding just to get the Johto Pokedex done.
>playing FireRed, evolve Tyranitar>realize Larvitar learns Hyper Beam at lvl 57>Tyranitar doesn't learn it until lvl 75>realize Larivitar learns it at 50 in GenIV>still no money for a DS
>ask for computer game of humans dressed as pokemon>receive game>its all little children oh god what the hell>wtf japan
>>2568What did you expect? It's not like the sprites really allow for incredibly tall, curvy women....And it's not like the game expects you to fuck them.
>>2569It just caught me off guard I guess. I was expecting maybe trainer-fusions, like the adult sprites edited to look like Pokemon. It's all good though.
>playing emerald>decide to take sidetrip and fill pokedex before e4>oh hey i haven't caught a zangoose or meditite yet>scour the entire fucking entirety of Hoenn>no zangoose or meditite>realize I don't have a Lunatone for that matter>ffff where do I find these fuckers>Not available in emerald>trade some over from sapphire save>zangoose is only in ruby>i don't have ruby
Think about it.
>>2460>Manage to get thereSeriously, Kanto is one big push over.
>>2608Seriously, Kanto only has like one "broken bridge" to fix and that's the Snorlax. You can head straight from Vermillion to the Power Plant, then Cerulean Cape, the Power Plant again, Lavender Town, battle the Snorlax blocking Diglett's Cave and boom: the whole region is open without even a single gym leader battle.>>2578Funny, I just saw that movie like two weeks ago.>>2475>lucky son of a bitchI certainly am one now
>>2609Yeah, I just forgot that I needed to use the Pokeflute station.
>trade baby Chikorita with friend for baby Larvitar in Ecruteak>fuck getting him caught up is gonna take forever >battle a trainer, sending in Larvitar then switching him out>Level 10>go to grind in Burned Tower>forget about rival battle>level 10 Larvitar takes out half of rival's level 20+ team with no effort>realize I am the owner of a god>no reaction image could capture my joy
>>2568>MoemonHELL YEAH MOEMONI fucking love that game.
>>2648That's what my level 8 Magnemite felt like, I got him caught up to the rest of my level 25+ team in no time because nothing could kill him.
>>2650>Moemon>Entire team of digletts
>>2650ENTIRE TEAM IS BABIES
>>2650>playing through Moemon Fire Red >Nuzlocke mode >naming them all after friends >who watch over my shoulder and shout commentary while I play.>Butterfree named Mike dies.>It's okay, no one liked Mike anyway.
>>2679>Realize I can never have Tauros, Sandslash, or Magmar.
>Trying to get Lt. Surge's, Pryce's, and Jasmine's numbers>Keep missing them>Keep missing out on rematches>In general every time based event
>lost my starter in NuzlockeI DON'T DESERVE TO BE A POKEMON TRAINER ANY MORE!
>>2734WAIT. IT MIGHT NOT BE AS BAD AS YOU THINK.Which starter did you take?
>start new game, grinding a Mankey for first gym>tackle tackle tackle peck tackle tackle peck peck>down to 10 HP with less than half EXP bar filled>switch to train starter>tail whip growl leer growl leer tail whip leer>up 3 levels with only 5 HP lost>switch back to Mankey>peck critical hit Mankey fainted
>>2686>Can't get Erika's number>Work always schedules me during the two hours on Sunday...>Blue's number is too damn tedious to get.
>>2831You only have to do it five times!It's just the hour between 3 and 4.
>>2739It was my bayleef
>>2831change the calender on your DS
>>2931Do they have to be in a row?
>Congratlations! Sun Tzu evolved into GYARADOS!
>not EV training>not grinding>still winning and not giving a damn
>>2986EV training is only really necessary if you're battling other people who EV train. Or if the Pokemon you're using is just an absolute piece of shit otherwise.
Watching a friend do the Arceus event in SoulSilver.
>>3042And now you know where Eggs come from.
>Apply Moemon patch to FireRed rom>Download ShinyGold patch>Copy FireRed rom, apply ShinyGold to it>End up with Moemon ShinyGold rom
>>3050I would do a Nuzlocke run of that. In a heartbeat.
>>3050But...are there Gold/Silver Moemon sprites?Whaaat?
>>3112Only the ones that appear in FR/LG, so not the starters but the ones like Marill or Larvitar or Sentret and their evolutions, yeah.>>3103I'd give you download links but Google is being an asshole to me today :C
>Reading the archived /v/ thread about a guy opening up his Fossil card pack>Starts out innocently enough>Shows a holographic Kabuto card, says first person to post in doubles will tell him what to do with it>"poop on it :D">He does
>>3142That thread was fucking amazing, I remember the week before the same OP opened a Fossil pack and nobody could roll a double.
>>3142I hated that so much. And the worst part is he probably sold the card on eBay without telling the buyer what he did.
>>3148>Seller's description: i pooped on it because some guys on the internet told me to.
>camchat with friend from class I skipped today>research paper due tomorrow instead of monday>told him I was gonna "grind that fucker like a shiny level 1 Magikarp">his reaction

>>3376>ARENA TRAP
>>3386>Did for some stupid reason not use ultra balls the first thing I did.Oh well, shit would probably get boring if I could just steamroll everything with a legendary just like that.
>DIGLETT used DIG!>DIGLETT dug a hole!>Foe VOLTORB used SLEFDESTRUCT!>My face.
>>3394You should grab some Fast or Quick Balls.
>>3394That's cool. Now that you've seen it you can track it with the Pokedex.
>use fury attack>hit 2 times>foe uses fury attack>hits 5 times>use fury attack>miss>foe uses fury attack >critical hit! critical hit! hit five times>use fury attack>hit two times>foe uses fury attack >critical hit! hit 4 times>faint

>>3573It just successfully used protect 3 times in a row...
>Waiting until the semester's over to get back into SoulSilver.>WAITING.
>>3573Especially when both you and your foe are confused, and you keep hurting yourself while your foe keeps attacking. Same thing with paralysis.

I wonder when it'll learn a new fire-type move to replace Flame Wheel.>>Check Serebii and find out it should've learned Lava Plume at lvl 35 when it was still a Quilava>>Think back a bit and remember this was a level it gained while walking with the Pokéwalker>>Put two and two together and realize that Pokemon don't learn new moves when levelling up after Pokéwalker strolls
