Pokemon X and Y: Aftermath (GEN 6 Discussion, Tier Talk, Breeding, Meganite)

Some non XY stuff…

I read a tread on GAF yesterday about someone claiming that Gen 1 had the best storyline of all the mainline games. Ignoring his obvious noatalgia filter and Gen 1-ness, I can’t see how someone can say that when RBY barely had anything story-wise to it. You could argue that the journey was the story, but I feel that’s separate territory from actual storytelling. IMO Platinum and BW1 had the best stories.

BW1 wins. The game was built more around the actual scope of the story rather than the story built around the usual game mechanics.

Gen 1 wasn’t story-driven at all… There was no story. Your only objectives in that game were to get all the badges, defeat the Elite Four, and catch all of the Pokemon. The only things remotely story-related were the Team Rocket stuff, and that was only relevant because they were usually in the way of you completing the aforementioned goals. Everything else had pretty much no context and you were doing them “just because.”

technically it was, you had to one-up your rival and fufill oak’s dream of catching them all, not to mention taking down a crime cyndicate that was terrorizing citizens

you also broke giovanni’s mind…

I will say that Gen 1 will always be the game with the most hated rival.

Nothing infuriated a kid more than making it through the exhausting Elite 4, thinking you beat the game…then seeing Blue’s ass standing there.

Many Game Boys were destroyed at that moment.

Yea, but my point is that the majority of those events only occur because they just happen to be in the way of your main journey. Take Saffron City, for example… The only reason you deal with Team Rocket there is because they’re stopping you from accessing other areas like the Gym, the Dojo, and Mr. Psychic’s house.

You also wouldn’t give a damn about Gary if he didn’t cut you off at random intervals like Team Rocket. It’s not like he has an actual story, or anything. He’s just…there. It wasn’t until Gen 3 that your Rival actually started having character and an impact on the story. Then, in Gen 4 and onwards, your Rival plays a major part in your journey.

Blue/Green’s story was that the pokemon world was extra free to him… lol you(red) came along and pushed his shit in

Felt like posting this:

Togepi confirmed pure fairy.

Togekiss confirmed to be on all my teams if Garchomp is common.

With Hawlucha and Togekiss, flying has been paired with every type.

New Trainer Class

They say there’s someone out there for everyone

Fuck Togekiss… It can go right next to its buddy Kingdra and fuck right off. There’s a reason its called the “White Demon” in Japan…

At least now that bastard will have to run something other than the flinch hax set if it wants to get any traction.

I don’t really hate Togekiss. It’s actually one of my favs. I just get tired of seeing something with eighty billion moves use the same 4/5 attacks because people can’t think for themselves

Speaking of thinking for yourself

I’ve ran into something like this in Balanced Hackmons once. It was pretty fun.

Also, there’s a new ghost move called Trick or Treat and it turns the target into a ghost type! This could be nasty on the right pokemon.

Congraulations Flying; you did it!

Now we just need that Ice/Fighting and Fairy/Fighting…

I tried something like that Normalize trolling with Skitty and Mismagius, but didn’t even think about using Role Play or Shadow Tag… Nice.

There’s a ton of trolling potential with Trick-or-Treat and that new Forest’s Curse move*(turns opponent into Grass-type)*…

Ghost has always been one of my fave types; I’m glad to see them getting some more shine in Gen VI

So here are MMewtwo Y’s estimated base stats…

106/150/70/194/120/140

Holy shit.

Mewtwo still da best. Fuck a Kyogre…

…and then Mewtwo says “Fuck Blissey” when it switches in and eats a Psystrike to the dome. Y’all better hope for MegaScizor, because its the only thing that could possibly stand up to this guy…

Holy… yo that’s so messed up. I need to think like that when building my next serious team.

Mewtwo still the king.

Also:

…BRB catching Scyther

Hehe, that isn’t an estimate. There was a screen shot of the normal mewtwo, so those are the exact stats. Like I said before, though I doubt many will use him over normal mewtwo.

Mega Tyranitar may or may not be confirmed
