Pretty savage team IMO, though if it were me I would change a few things: 1) Like pretty much everyone has told you, Gardevoir > Gothitelle 8.5/10 times 2) I, personally, don't like donphan too much. I understand that it has sturdy, but I feel as if it's overall movepool, and generally reliability in the upcoming battles, will be lacking (at least, to an extent). I personally would change this to a Magnezone; magnezone has a better movepool, steel typing, and also has access to sturdy, which, when paired with mirror coat, allows it to revenge kill a lot of stuff. 3) Assuming you follow my advice about donphan, that would leave you with 2 electric types. I would switch out the emolga for a type that has STAB super-effectiveness on anything your team has trouble against. If it's nothing, then I would switch it too either a Honchcrow (because mafia hype) or to Staraptor, because staraptor has a beautiful movepool and a ridiculous attack stat. But yeah man, either way, pretty savage team!

Excellent episode, 10/10 I particularly enjoyed the commentary on Bennett.

Alright, since fairy and psychic are tied, I'll go ahead an try a hardcore mono-psychic run! Thanks to all those who replied, hopefully I'll have the first update up soon!

@Arkhi & Alchemia - Awesome, thanks guys! That should help when I start the run! @Quickslip - Haha, yeah, Julia with only 1 pokemon sounds more or less impossible. Would've been interesting though! @Luna - Yeah, monodark wouldn't be too bad! Plus, froakie is always a pretty sweet starter choice.

Hey guys, I want to start a Monotype run (Hardcore, of course), but I'm having trouble choosing the type I'd like to go with. So yeah, It'd be great if you could answer the poll to help me decide! Also, if anyone could to tell me how to take a screenshot within the game, that would just be Jim-Dandy. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

Hey! I was wondering if you could do this for me as well? If so, could you use the Reborn dark-toned male sprite? As for pokemon: Infernape Nidoking Raikou Salamence (Mega, Please) Bisharp Sylveon would be excellent! Thanks!

So where exactly in the mountain is the spaztastic totodile? I've spent a few hours exploring, still haven't been able to find it or the lapras.

Mono-Ground is one I'm doing, liking it so far. Kinda difficult tbh (because you might actually lose to Fern, which is the worst feeling ever), but fun. Other runs though: Ground/Fighting = Earth benders (I guess?) Ground/Fire = Volcano Ground/Water = Mud Run yeah, they all have ground. They're Giovanni approved runs. Probably.

The game isn't unreasonably hard; the fact that it's beatable more or less proves that it is, in fact, reasonably hard. The fact that a lot of people play through without Blazekin is further evidence of that. Not to mention that some people have completed the game using Mono-type teams, which actually makes the game harder than it was intended to be. Some people even have Nuzlocke runs for this game. So yeah, it's pretty reasonable. Now, if you want the game to be easier, than sure, picking blazekin is probably your best bet. But in fairness, most people know about that, and a strong number of people actually seem to want even more of a challenge, hence the special runs they do.

I mean, that may be right, but I assumed it was to make it so you can't...you know, over level and win via brute force. And abuse is a strong word man! Its more like...my pokemon are all hyper competitive, so they want to battle. Over and over and over and over and over again. Yeah, that's it.

Gotta super disagree with you on #3. Sure, you don't need to hit the level cap, but if you do/need to, you suck? Harsh. More to the point, I personally prefer to not actually get a whole bunch of pokemon, just 5-6 that can all handle different threats. Team is generally 5 real pokemon + 1 pokemon with 4 HM moves. a 6th pokemon generally in the box. And even then, that's over time. I generally don't have 5 pokemon I actually want to use until maybe Kiki/Aya. I hit the level cap because those are the only pokemon I want to use, or need to use. So they get a strong bit of EXP. That doesn't mean that I don't use strategy to beat the gyms, that just means I use the same pokemon consistently. As I'm sure many other people do. And as someone mentioned before, anyone doing any type of special run generally needs to hit that level cap to not get wrecked. So yeah, saying people suck for hitting level cap is kind of...presumptuous, I guess? Certainly isn't very kind haha
