I always loved Mew, 'cause that was my cat's name (yes, he received that name in '94, before Pokemon became a thing). I was the nerd who chose Bulbasaur as my first Pokemon in the blue version, and I got some excellent shots on Pokemon Snap. I still have all of my cards. So many, so many...

I thought Bulbasaur was super lame, because plants are dumb. A year and a half spent in a botany lab writing my honors thesis still has yet to change my mind. 😛

FINALLY. Took freaking forever to get to this post count.
 
HolycrapWHAT?! Tantacles, do you know all of these?

I know a lot of them. I could probably tell you the typing of any of them if you gave me the name, and I could probably tell you the best moveset to put on most of them. I could also give you a basic idea of most pokemon's stat spreads and the best way to train them.

I do this for serious. This is maths, people.
 
Tell me about.....SANDSLASH!

Ground type.

Typically used as a defensive wall because of its resistance to stealth rock and all around good defenses (better on the physical side, I'm pretty sure.). Also, I believe it learns rapid spin, meaning it can get rid of entry hazards (obstacles that cause damage to your pokemon upon switching. Spikes introduced in gold/silver and stealth rock in Diamond/Pearl). I also don't remember what its ability is.

Pairs well with water types, which resist water and ice, and ferrothorn pairs well with it.

I haven't looked at Sandslash much, but I imagine a proper defensive set would be:

Impish Nature - Holding Leftovers
252 HP EVs, 252 Def EVs

Earthquake
Protect
Rapid spin
Toxic

Unfortunately, this set is walled by any steel or poison type that isn't grounded.

I imagine a choice banded set (+50% attack but can only use one move until switched out and back in) would work as well with 252 Atk and 252 HP EVs.
 
My red version got corrupted because I used that Rare Candy duplication trick too many times 🙁

really, that never happened to me.

I also remember doing an item duplication trick for FFIV for the SNES. different game but I like how there were always ways to exploit games even back then.
 
i think my favorite was eevee, just because it was so cute. and it could morph into lots of things.

that is all the contribution i will give to this topic.
 
deos anyone know anything about "the only way is essex"? i've never seen it but i've just been informed i'm going to have to dress up like a character from the show....and i have no idea what that means.

INADVERTENT TOPS FTW

Wow Tantacles you know more about pokemon than I do...hahaha!

I remember taking forever restarting over and over to get the starter with a "modest" nature so it would have +special attk.

The starter I liked the best was squirtle although blastoise was kind of weak, but you could go with a moveset of surf/ice beam/earthquake/ and body slam/hyper beam or something and be able to defend against both grass and electric types.
 
lol at finches' pokemon post

lool clownplant, alien baby, bowser, flu/hiv 😆
 
I missed the Pokemon discussion. Boo.

Tantacles, do you play competitively?
 
I gave Pokemon the benefit of the doubt up to Pearl/Diamond. Dropped it after this last round. White/Black? Lack of creativity, right there. Plus, I got tired of it, lol.
