Hi Holla Forums I have a slightly specific request to make. You see my friend recently got me into Pokemon as he tried to find some game to play together. He is currently far better than me and I'm trying to git gud as to beat him.

I thought about watching some battles online, but the problem is that I don't know any good Pokemon-centric channels. Do you know any Pokemon players that make battle vids and aren't incredibly cucked or Smogon-tier retards?

I'm currently playing though Nocturne, I like both series.

How cucked is pimpnite?

Your friend is gay, he's trying to make you gay like him

come learn how to piss smogon players off with a level 1 Aron

I have no idea, is he a gigantic clickbating faggot?


What's wrong with having fun?


Ah right, I forgot about Fullderp, I'll definitely watch some of your battles. I'm too scared of fucking up to play with you yet

Why would you play Pokemon if you want to play a game together?

I always feel like I gimp the champ because I always suggest something stupid like a metapod or a baby pokemon.

Because Pokemon is a video game user And it's actually fun once you get into it

you don't have to suggest weedie you know

I've played Pokemon, what "fun" can you have by "playing together"?

All you can do is battle and give each other Pokemon that aren't available in the other person's version of the game.

...

hiv

You know that the "battling" part is basically the main component of the game, right?

...

user, maybe You're the one who's gay

user we're all gay here, haven't you figured it out yet?

But 010145 is especially gay

Yeah, so? That's something you can easily do without "playing together". The games themselves aren't that complex so you're not going to get much of a difference in difficulty in playing against a human trainer as opposed to the AI.

I don't see why you would bother playing Pokemon to play with someone, when the vast majority of the game is focussed on you playing by yourself. Considering the main focus of the games is to catch as many Pokemon as possible.

You need to get away from Pokemon and your friend as quickly as possible

Fullderp is secretly the recurring pokemon general during the offseason between games.

PS OP, which Pokemon would you fugg? Blaziken, Gardevoir, Lopunny faggots need not apply

Have you ever played against someone? The difference is really big. The game might not have incredibly complex mechanics but there's more depth here than you think. The main point of the game is playing around with different team builds and seeing how efficient they are against other teams. The point is that human players actually know how to do this and use the teams in a way that AI players don't.


The singleplayer aspect of the game isn't really that fun compared to the multiplayer. It's not really fun playing against an AI that isn't complex enough to switch Pokemon in a logical way. And the end game is mostly built around playing in multiplayer. The singleplayer can generally be easily steamrolled through. It's not Shin Megami Tensei where the boss design is actually complex enough to make you think. A player who understands how teams are built can fuck you over easily and you will have far more problems beating him than any trainer in the game.

Yes. Long before you kiddo.

So you don't find the main draw to Pokemon fun? Again, why bother to play it?

PokeaimMD>>13030101

doesn't exsist.

Playing Pokemon is a mistake.
Masturbate to it instead.

THICC

Then I don't really think that you've played with anyone that digs into the mechanics enough to pose a challenge if you say that the difference is really not that much.


Because I find the multiplayer aspect to be fun enough to make up for the singleplayer. You know you can enjoy games in different ways, right user?

what about Jynx faggots

>>>Holla Forums

No, there isn't much of a challenge. You probably just don't understand the games enough that you actually find the MP a challenge, since you're asking for advice on how to beat your friend.


However many hours you put into the multiplayer, you'd need to put in a shed load more into the Singleplayer to even compete with someone. You know you can just get better games to play with someone, right user?

It's clear you've never played competitive pokemon.

Understand what? The rules are awfully simple, the way of thinking is just as simple, the way you build your teams is simple too. That's not where the challenge comes from. The real challenge comes from finding the most efficient combinations of Pokemon and playing around the flaws in your team, finding the most efficient strategy to fuck over your opponent with the tools you have and trying to stop him from doing the same to you.


What the fuck are you even talking about, the singleplayer teaches you the bare basics of the shit you need in the multiplayer. The only shit you need to do in the singleplayer is breeding and getting items, and that's an idle activity, something that you do while watching, reading or even playing something else.

What I find funny about this is while he spent his whole time in this thread desperately trying to convince you to stop liking things he doesn't like and talking down to you as though you must be a real scrub to not even know how to win at pokemon, I'm willing to bet you'd wipe the floor with 67deaa in a Pokemon match OP. Faggots like 67deaa played pokemon when they were 7 against 7-year-olds and thought that's where the game stops, they have no idea about how autistic people (adults) get about competitive pokemon and how hard to break some strategies can be. Have a bump OP, I'm a scrub at competitive pokemon or I'd give you advice, I just like the meme the opponent in to submission.

I'm also a fucking scrub when it comes to Pokemon but there are people who do not even see the basic mechanics that the game works on. There are too many people who don't understand that the games are nothing more than just sets of rules that the programming enforces us to follow and creates an environment where such rules can be followed. That's the same reason why we get so many fags that say that JRPG turn based combat is a bad thing even though they don't even understand how it works.

Thanks for the bump

turn based isn't necessarily bad, its just easy and simple, there is no real difficulty on it other than failing RNG dice rolls.

that aside, pokemon are for sex.

Get some fucking standards.

This is the worst thread I've seen in a while. Well actually not really, but it's pretty terrible and OP is a huge retarded faggot with no spine or ability to make decisions on his own and can't even work out how to play a simple children's game without asking for advice on how to get advice.
In other words, you'll fit right in!

just select tackle until the other pokemon dies

Yeah that last one is pretty terrible.
Would not yiff

Gardevoir is the best devoir

...

I dunno man, I've seen what Gardevoirs will do in order to get their jollies.

smh tbh fam.

Gardies are loyal.
Don't let that shitty webcomic fool you user.

the fuck is going on there?

...

A porn comic with more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan film.

im interested, link?

youre super gay. im the only straight guy on Holla Forums and i have no reason to believe otherwise

Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series!

well shit, im gonna have fun here

dont talk to me homo

im liking it

its not even over, the last released page was 94 and they're still fucking.

Smogon has a lot of problems, but in the end, it's a fantastic learning resource. The forums contain a ton of valuable guides to teambuilding and battling. I learned competitive Pokemon on Serebii and Smogon; they teach fundamentals well, regardless of metashit. Discussing in the Showdown chatrooms is also a good way to learn.
Watching videos is good, but I don't know which youtubers are; just watch commentaries till you find one you like. Don't worry if they're Smogon; most techniques you'll pick up will be solid regardless of the meta you play.

there are better ways of protecting your virginity

I have well over 500 Pokemon cards from when I was a kid and I have zero ambitions in life
How can I learn the basics of actual pokeman games, preferably in some way with doesn't include talking to someone?

Card game is strictly different from the pokemon game
But that said, the GBC game of it was pretty good

It's a goldmine.

Every character except Gardevoir is a reaction image goldmine.

The problem with wanting to be good at competitive pokemon is that you need to get autistic because it just becomes a numbers games with some RNG after a certain point. I don't think looking at "poketubers" will make you better. Just try to read what your opponent does while not being extremely predictable.

pokemon are for sex, not for autistic number crunching

i would have preferred if she had stayed a Kirlia. she'd be a tighter fit.

It's always been a fun game with an exploitative meta game, but to each his own

I just want a place where I don't have to run into you at every corner.

well im on Holla Forums everyday, so this might not be the place.

...

let's lewd humans instead

...

Reading this for the first time. This scene felt so strange. As if I was supposed to know these characters long before this conversation. The fuck am I reading?

Shit


we can go lewder

If you like any aspect of the game even slightly, don't. Within a week you'll learn about the mechanics and how there's a surprising amount of depth to them, and then you'll learn how gamefreak pisses all the potential away by making retarded decision after retarded decision. They pretend to care about balance with that dumb VGC thing but in reality the number of pokemon that are actually "good" is under 20, evel less if you factor out the ones that are flat out retarded levels of broken. You might think this is a game with a huge number of choices but it's the polar opposite, if you want to have a semi consistent win record you'll find a very small pool to choose from.

tl;dr it's shit

...

He rewrote some of those pages later for “coherence.”

This summer is really horrible. Why cant these faggots go to reddit or neofag?

I mean pokemon is enjoyable way to kill some time.
but no point in bother with breeding/raising pokemon if everyone online and shit is just cheating their pokemon in.
its pretty gud feeling being freed from nintendo's grasp they've been truly the worst company to ever buy shit from I may pick up a used 3ds and just get it homebrew or whatever and shit just to play shit I couldn't buy because they couldn't fucking bother to restock copies of their games.

It's one of those "This scene will be given context later" scenes that became popular with amateurish screenwriters around 2010. It's only risen in popularity since then.

Jolly a best.

Bold a best.

>not modest for optimal wallbreaking and stallbreaking with taunt

I liked it right up until Gallade found out everyone was fucking.
It was a fun porn comic with some decent humour and good art, but then it turned into a rediculous, confusing and hamfisted melodrama that kills my boner harder than furry art of Lucario.
On top of that, it turns out the artist is a huge fucking douche who can't stand criticism of any form and insists that nobody can criticise his work because "What have you done?"

Even female Lucario?

I want a Lucario (M) who is proud of his power

I usually see Pokemon as one gender or the other.
Like, Gardevoirs, Gothitelles and Mismagius are girls, while Lucarios, Zoroarks and Machamps are guys. I know most of these can be both, but I can't change my perception of them.

Thread should have ended here

it sure didn't kill mine

a) canon Zoroark is a girl (but who the fuck cares about anime)
b) Shit taste

Not my fault the furry community keep shoving Zoroark dicks down my throat. What's done is done.

Funbro was the best setup.

Lucario as a whole is pretty trash anyways

I wouldn't mind getting a Zoroark dick shoved down my throat if you know what I'm saying.

...

She's usually drawn so curvy but isn't she just a Tomoko?

Because of the one that sells you milk in X and Y

You have thiccfags to thank for that
HOTPOCKETS! FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEE

would fug almost every nature. Either big tits, or big hips, or a balance of both.

Would fug, impregnate and marry if she were a virgin & true to me. She has a friend fo life, and many more with our children if she wants it.

ur gay.

xHiddenxPantsx is that you?
If you are please hang yourself already

Well at least you told the gay off.

I don't know who that is

At least people aren't accusing me of being Bui this time.

Gay porn is just as allowed here as straight.

Really it's the garde and hex maniacfags you should purge

...

Naw. Gay is boring bullshit you faggot simpleton. Change your ways, not my fault you like buttholes more than me.

He is a literal autisto that used to frequent Fullderp, people told him to fuck off because he was shitting up the thread with neghole porn and bad erp

...

Oh actually I do know who that is, I saw him sperg out. I just didnt know the name

That's it. Holla Forums has gone too far this time.

I dunno who that is motherfucker.>>13034353

I DUNNO MOTHERFUCKER

I mean, I'll stop posting hex.

Not like anyone else is going on topic and giving OP recommended youtube channels.

I'd choose Hasty , Serious and Calm

I dont actually care I'm just bullying you

...

Most youtube channels are either furfags or top 10 retards that won't teach you anything. I recommend you to check the Fullderp thread, you can learn some pretty busted builds and how to counter the current meta

That's what OP asked for. I honestly don't watch many tourneyfag or pokemon youtubers.

I'd honestly just tell OP to try playing on showdown a bit to learn from loses and his opponents.


That's illegal.

That mantis is really cute.

everything this post says is true

Meh.

the robot voice makes it so much more corny lol

i want to get into competitive poke-fucking.

No, god no. Please don't post that evil. I legit shudder when I see that goof guy.

pokemon is rehashed baby's first rpg and you're a fag for liking it

What does a guy have to do to get his pokemon pozzed with Pokerus around here?

Silvally seems pretty dirty, doesn't he?

Do you think Poison or Bug typing would be more fun with him?

Bump
