Pokémon

I caught my first shiny pokemon today while on hold with tech support. Unintentionally went into the grass across the daycare in X and found a shiny smeargle. Two quick balls later, named him Marco Rufalo.

It has Intimidate as well and decent IVs so I have taken full advantage and properly EV trained it with 252/252/4 attack/speed/special defence.

I had planned to use Snorlax or Clefairy for my normal type (fairy type isn’t in gen 3) but this catch was too perfect to pass up.

I haven’t finalised Tauros moveset yet but with Strength it one shots nearly anything that doesn’t resist it at equal level - obviously not in pvp but it would be solid there too.

This Tauros might just be the team MVP by the end of the run.

Just for funsies,

I'm slowly playing through LeafGreen at the moment and I need some mushrooms to optimise the attacks of my team. Has anybody experience which way is the best to get them?

Do I farm the three spots where I can pick them up or do I catch as many Paras as needed or maybe there is an other method I have not thought about?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Would anyone be willing to help me evolve my graveler & kadabra?

e621 is furry adult art website but I will focus only in the statistics and data side of things. I hope that the comments stay civil as well.

I saw a video about Pokemon Smash or Pass statistics and I was curious about how e621 trends reflect that.

Here's every Pokemon tag count for further research: pastebin.com/pSDy8HRp

Here's how it compares to the graphic which data is obtained from pokesmash.xyz
The video goes more into the details of that data.

Here I only parsed the tag counts but e621 provides more data dumps and has API wiki page in case someone else fancies to do more research about this.

Let's argue, not fight.

Everyone praises Mystery Dungeon and the GameCube games, but what are some spin-offs you wish more people talked about? c:

For me it's Pokemon Picross! It's such a simple game but I think it's really charming! I used to play it all the time on my bus commute to university, or between classes lol

This is a cross-post from games@lemmy.world

I'm thinking of working on a turn-based battle simulation game - a Pokemon VGC drop-in.

It will go all in on simulation, and will not have a story mode - think Pokemon Showdown.

Furthermore, the simulation tweaks will be significant - it could essentially be a different game depending on the tweaks. But the default will be as close to Pokemon VGC as possible.

In terms of roster, it will likely be small (32 creatures) and with a mathematically sound number of types (still have to do research for this).

My grand goal for rosters is to have people make their own, and choose the creatures they like most into their own sets. With the "official" set (run by me) having the initial 32 and adding customs all the way to 128.

The entire project will be open-source.

I've been really contemplating this, because it will take a significant amount of time, and I do not know what the actual room temperature is.

I feel like people who play Pokemon Showdown will stay there, but I feel (with careful consideration and execution) some people may appreciate this project.

If you have anything you'd like to see in this type of game, please leave a comment. If you'd like to donate to help free up more time to work on this DM me.

I recently wanted to replay Pokemon Y on my old New 3DS XL unfortunately the moment I enter Glittering Cave the game just locks up and crashes the console I've also been able to reproduce the issue in a emulator Anyone else who has that issue or maybe knows how to fix it?

I grew up with Pokémon red and gold. In those games, you can kind of just ignore the story and play through the game.

At some point Pokémon seemed to switch, and have so much more dialog forced upon you, especially in the early game.

When did this start? Was it with Pokémon X and Y or did it come later? I know Sun and Moon felt that way to me.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some cool romhacks and I figured this community might have some recommendations. I mostly play on GBA but we don't have to limit discussion to that platform.

I have recently started Pokemon Unbound after finishing sapphire and it’s crazy what people are able to do on the GBA. I have heard of people making events for games like emerald using the E-reader but I haven’t tried those out yet. Have you played any romhacks, and if you have, which ones do you think are fun?

Do you think that Onix has rizz? I just finished a stream where pretty much everybody agreed that Onix does not have rizz. I wanted this community’s take on the question though.

I feel like Onix definitely has rizz. It is pretty strong early on and I’m never upset to see it in the wild. It stomps charmander in the gen 1 games in the first gym, so in a way it has to get some points for that.

I’m still new to this platform so if there is a better place for me to ask this type of question please let me know. Thank you!

Finally its happening

I'm at the Elite Four, but my team is horribly underleveled. I don't know how I was allowed to get this far with a team that's so underprepared, but here I am.

Right now, all I can see is literally grinding wild Pokemon in Victory Road. Is there a better way?

ETBs has seen a huge price hike here in Europe/Denmark with the release of Prismatic Evolutions - from 500DKK/ETB to 800DKK/ETB. Does anyone know if it reflects a new, higher MRSP or if it's just the hype train running off the rails? I'd like the Eevee promo card, but at this rate I'll just be getting it as a a single.

At least the Articuno looks good, probably just stick to getting singles for this set until Team Rocket comes out later this year. What's your chase?

I can't find that specific opening, I found the first 2 but I can't find the 3rd one. Does anyone know where can I find it?

Made this after losing my Battle Tree win streak for the third time due to Sina's Drampa getting multiple QC procs :))))))))))))))) seriously dude, FUCK quick claw.
