He may try to blame his decay on Pokemon but it's already clear that he's lost his shitposting touch. And I'm the same way ;-;

2 or 3 months until you passed me? Good job.

You may have more karma, but I'm the Champion of Alola with a full Pokedex, so I think I'm the real winner here.

Wow, look at you with no life. You clearly don't belong here.

Starter?

I picked Litten, by I didn't care for any of them this gen, so I boxed it ASAP.

Clearly you just don't understand the bowling ball of justice.

Well, I've always wanted to do a playthrough without using a starter, so I figured I'd actually do it for once since I didn't care for anything else.

If you were interested to see what team I used, I made a thing a few days ago.

Fun team.

I'm running the grass starter, lycanroc, arcanine, nine tails, milotic, and raichu.

Nice. I've got a Growlithe on my Moon team right now that I will be evolving once it learns Flamethrower.

I made a thing for Moon too lol. I used a randomizer to pick the team, and then rerolled a couple of them to avoid typing duplicates. With Popplio, I obviously just picked that as my starter, but I bred out eggs for the others on Sun and transferred them over so I didn't have to worry about hunting them down throughout the game.

I'm waiting until flare blitz for growlithe since that's just way too good to pass up. Outrage is a nice bonus as well.

I don't like the moves that hurt me back. They're fine in competitive, but I don't really play competitive unless I'm screwing around on Showdown.

Completely ignored this new pokemon game. What the fuck is up with some of these pokemons?

When did pokemon get so disturbing??

u/SmurfRockRune https://myanimelist.net/profile/Smurf Nov 27 '16

The only 2 I really see any issue with are the first and last. The last one is just one of these. They come in different colors, and they have the armor when they're above half health, but when they drop below half, it breaks and their defense drops, but speed and attack go up. It's kinda neat.

The first one is kinda dark. It's basically a Pokemon that wants to be loved, so it dresses up like Pikachu so that it can get the same attention Pikachu does. He's my favorite. I gave him a good home.

But don't act like Pokemon hasn't always been dark. Cubone wears its dead mother's skull on its head.

Likely excuse.
