iirc, there's this ice move Frost Breath that always crits, so maybe with sniper and stone edge...
nah, not happening.
just idle speculation.
I'm figuring that the theme here is "things that would be broken on weavile" because that looks like it would share the same MO, but has better typing.

I love customization in pokemon games, and honestly barring x and y reborn kids have more customization than any of the main games. however, if you want to put me someone else's shoes, I guess I'm alright with it.
Fourth wall breaking is one of my favorite things in video games. Games like Undertale/OFF essentially don't have one (the judge, the first character you meet, greets both the batter and the player, and you input your own name and not the batter's) and they're awesome. Also fourth wall/meta humor is great imo, see deadpool/early RedvsBlue/Nui from Kill la Kill/Disgaea

I...haven't played any of these other than pokemon and wow
out of the first pair, I guess I like wh40k better, i mean Rogue Trader is cool but i've honestly never played 40k media I just really hate wow's graphics.
favorite mmo is Guild Wars 2. probably the most aesthetic game i've ever played, the races are all well-thought-out and I love that I can play as an engineer.
I don't like any of the shooters, honestly I'm not that great at them. Favorite shooter i've actually player was loadout but that game's basically dead now so maybe overwatch will be nice.
Pokemon ofc or I wouldn't be here rn. also one title is regularly in the news, one isn't.
played a little tekken at a friend's house, but i don't have enough experience with fighting games to really judge them. Pokken involves pokemon so i'm interested.

since we're talking about ranks: I don't have one.
I honestly don't have the time to really get good at league, so i mainly just play aram, the rotating modes and
dominion rip.when I do actually play league, I main mostly support or top, with taric, tahm, rumble, and
ad malz don't judge mebeing my favorites.yeah, not exactly the most meta of picks.
ad malz is honestly really interesting because of how he interacts with other mages--you go from "who bursts first" to "i have hexdrinker and cc-ing me doesn't stop my damage I win" you're a squishy jungler who for some reason nobody gets close to after six; you're an incredible pusher with epic 1v1 potential, but only once every ult cooldown. and while your first clear is slow and dangerous, at level 3 he can solo dragon.
taric is my support main mostly because he has a really funky power-curve. early in the game, you're mostly just a stunbot, with a little burst for skirmishes. when midgame hits, though, iceborn gauntlet you actually get a decent rotation, along with some decent self-sustain. being 3 levels down hurts, though.
-
heck yeah another steel type!
I patiently await the episode when I can add it to my party
(no matter the game, my team slowly fills up with steel types. I should probably stop...but they're all so cool)
-
yeah, the lag can be a problem. don't let it get you down too much, the devs are working on it.
also, the first time you pop open reborn every week, when you enter a new cell, the game stops and recalculates the weather. just wait. it'll pass.
-
Bugs can only take you so far.
Sickle was punching (slashing?) way above its weight.
-
Not even us would pull this kind of stunt lol
it's still fun to imagine though
another concept:
hustle+hone claws to cure accuracy issues, have high damage, and be unexpected.

Honestly manetric's speed is almost more of a problem than it's SpA. 4 levels down from xatu, but with a few EV's and a fast nature that's no problem. Everything in the gym pauses for Manetric, so nothing gives manetric paws...i mean pause.
as long as he outspeeds the whole gym, he'll still be a massive threat. by replacing somebody like honchkrow or chatot, you make the gym easier for every other team just so that manetric doesn't sweep, which he might still anyways. maybe if the dog got replaced by something slower, like amphy or elekid? or if aderyn's gym got some faster mons, like staraptor or crobat? just thinking out loud.

Could I make a suggestion:
Sburbmon is a romhack of Firered replacing the cast with characters from Homestuck, somewhat like tohoumon. Pokemon become main characters like Rose and Dave, Gym leaders are carapacians cosplaying Denizens, and your professor is Doc Scratch. Since this is homestuck's kid, expect loads and loads of metahumor, poking fun at the archetypal elements of a pokemon game.
Features:
151 new fakemon! (eventually)
8 gyms! (2 in current release; note that because the leaders are grouping mons by homestuck aspect and not typing, the 2nd gym has more varied types)
Horses!Troll Cosplay
New maps and music up to cerulean city!
More Horses!Link to Thread:

jesus christ. simple tail glow for turn one special belly drum is a one-way ticket to sweepville.

Meteor Mash. Come on, Isn't that just the coolest name ever?
also it's my favorite type and the signature move of my favorite monfor a more common move, i'd say earthquake.
-
hmmm...I might've outsped, but mostly I was just using revive/soda on manetric. (neutral nature+15 spd EVs)
who also outsped and oneshot hawlucha, though I can't say for certain because staravia's ace took it to half.
also, a lot of aderyn's 'mons use air slash, even though they're physical in nature. wouldn't it be better for Hawlucha (for example) to have aerial ace, given that it's the gym's TM?
I suppose you could be right, seeing as it's based off of starter choice. taking marshtomp in Julia or combusken into Florina makes either fight trivial, for example. but, seriously, my manetric came in there lvl 30 and left lvl 34! there was literally nobody in the whole gym who could stop me
also I've now taken 2 gyms by cheesing with 1 or 2 mons (combusken+staravia for first, dog for second)

what ppl don't realize is that aurelion sol is a simple champion IN GENERAL. basically, you have his outer orbit as the key range indicator for everything about him--the q detonation distance, the w's damage radius, and the r's pushback range. however, because his q radius extends with distance, his outer orbit isn't always his safe radius, and the orbiting passive gives counterplay to his damage. he's the first simple champion riot's made in a long time.

update: Manetric is actually really, really broken.
swept aderyn with just a lvl 31 dog w/ the expert belt you get from beating up JOHN CENA (do do doo). only challenging mon (aka the only one i didn't oneshot) was emolga, but emolga could only 4ko me and since I had the drinks from the vending machine, I could beat it with bite. Hawlucha beat my Staravia in a few speed ties but if i'd bothered to grind it could've won, mostly used it to rezz the dog and heal it.
Instead of axing The Dog (though you still might need to), have you considered giving her a gligar/gliscor? Emolga does basically nothing to manetric, but a ground-move equipped glig might.

field effects!
they add so much depth to gym leader battles, rather than them simply having them being a level-appropriate 4-mon monotypes
-
I play pokemon mostly because I like the 'mons themselves, but also because I love the storylines and new mons/megas that the community puts out in fangames.
-
oh, sweet!
I was already going to restart (running 1 save w/ manetric and one w/ aron) but this'll make it even better!
-
then mine is definitely bugged. It doesn't react at all. i've got the quest and i've talked to the right dude, but no dice.
-
I've found the vending machine in celeste city, but it seems to be non-functional. whenever I interact with it, nothing happens, i don't even get a text response.
do I have to trigger something else first?
-
It's a ditto transformed into Arceus
so it still has a ditto's base health stat?
also, on the subject of "boss battle" pokemon:
I love these guys specifically because they're so exploitable, it's like a puzzle boss.
also may be revenge for every weaker mon that ever wrecked me with status in the main gamescase in point: the lvl 35 klinklang in the subrailnet
sent in pachirisu, paralyzed it with nuzzle, rip pachy, sent out a simple numel and used amnesia. he could only hit for about a quarter of my health after that, while I just Lava-Plumed him to death. Like, what other game requires in-depth strategy like that?
-
Voltorb on julia's team. One voltorb is dumb and two are just tedious. There are better electric types that could make the first gym battle more fun and memorable.
totally agree. also 2x aftermath is just rude. though i guess it adds to julia's "your bulk doesn't matter" shtick. the only problem is that might lead to it being replaced by supersonic magnemite....and imo having an early gym leader who doesn't confuse is really, really great.
and having one whose party isn't wattson's with some bells and whistles -
yeah, ran into that issue a couple of times on like 10 different playthroughs. thought my save was corrupted/lost my save, restarted so many times...but honestly it's alright.
-
who would it be? bonus points if it isn't their ace.
I'd personnally take Shelly's anorinth away, because it is, by itself, a make-or-break moment for the fight. could you kill it before it flinchaxed/ohkoed your 2 active mons with rockslide, or couldn't you? if you couldn't deal with it without hemorraging team mates, then Yanmega and/or Volbeat get a free set-up and then it's game over.
What do you inspire on to name your pokemon?

I try to stick with a theme for a given run, but i don't always suceed. In my current Platinum run, my mons are reborn-themed, being named after forum memes i heard here (twerkterra) or in-game npc nicknames (Rawrchomp, Kori the female Ghastly, Taka the staravia [chatot is the worst lategame]). My White 2 mono-steel run has the theme "grandiose": if it doesn't sound like something a paladin would pick, the name doesn't stick. when I don't stick to a theme, I draw on various pop-culture references that stay consistent to a given pokemon; prior to my plat run, my previous 2 garchomps both were named Ryouko, mostly because they share a color scheme and mega garchomp looks similar to spiky senketsu (idk what else to call it). Homestuck is a pretty consistent theme as well.
