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.
Your friend is gay, he's trying to make you gay like him
Christopher Gutierrez
come learn how to piss smogon players off with a level 1 Aron
Josiah Miller
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
Aiden Watson
Why would you play Pokemon if you want to play a game together?
Robert Reyes
I always feel like I gimp the champ because I always suggest something stupid like a metapod or a baby pokemon.
Joshua Young
Because Pokemon is a video game user And it's actually fun once you get into it
Landon Martinez
you don't have to suggest weedie you know
Nolan Hughes
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.

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

Jayden Evans
user, maybe You're the one who's gay
Carson Brown
user we're all gay here, haven't you figured it out yet?
Anthony Allen
But 010145 is especially gay
Nolan Butler
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.
Dominic Lee
You need to get away from Pokemon and your friend as quickly as possible
Aiden Ramirez
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
Owen Taylor
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.
Levi Martinez
Yes. Long before you kiddo.
So you don't find the main draw to Pokemon fun? Again, why bother to play it?
Benjamin Davis
PokeaimMD>>13030101
doesn't exsist.
Josiah Allen
Playing Pokemon is a mistake. Masturbate to it instead.
Leo Barnes
THICC
Camden Ortiz
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?
Andrew Phillips
what about Jynx faggots
Isaiah Anderson
>>>Holla Forums
Robert Diaz
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?
Josiah Lopez
It's clear you've never played competitive pokemon.
Ian Powell
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.
Adrian Ortiz
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.
Brayden Cooper
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
Carson Adams
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.
Cameron Baker
Get some fucking standards.
Liam Smith
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!
Aiden Gonzalez
just select tackle until the other pokemon dies
Jacob Gomez
Yeah that last one is pretty terrible. Would not yiff
Jack James
Gardevoir is the best devoir

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

its not even over, the last released page was 94 and they're still fucking.
Gabriel Miller
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.
Jeremiah Ross
there are better ways of protecting your virginity
Justin Thompson
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?
Charles Carter
Card game is strictly different from the pokemon game But that said, the GBC game of it was pretty good
Grayson Cox
It's a goldmine.
Juan Miller
Every character except Gardevoir is a reaction image goldmine.
William Martinez
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.
Ryan Carter
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.
Alexander Johnson
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.
John Watson
well im on Holla Forums everyday, so this might not be the place.

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?
Christian Torres
Shit
we can go lewder
Benjamin Fisher
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
Bentley Reyes

Isaiah Gonzalez
He rewrote some of those pages later for “coherence.”
James Wilson
This summer is really horrible. Why cant these faggots go to reddit or neofag?
Henry Smith
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.
Adrian Green
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.
Jackson Fisher
Jolly a best.
Jose Johnson
Bold a best.

Gabriel Price
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?"
Brandon Roberts
Even female Lucario?
Nathan Taylor
I want a Lucario (M) who is proud of his power
Robert Cooper
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.
Jordan Collins
Thread should have ended here
Aiden Morgan
it sure didn't kill mine
Nolan Nelson
a) canon Zoroark is a girl (but who the fuck cares about anime) b) Shit taste
Joseph Turner
Not my fault the furry community keep shoving Zoroark dicks down my throat. What's done is done.
Hunter Morales
Funbro was the best setup.
Thomas Adams
Lucario as a whole is pretty trash anyways
Jaxon Wood
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?
Alexander Fisher
Because of the one that sells you milk in X and Y
Austin Flores
You have thiccfags to thank for that HOTPOCKETS! FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEE
Ryder Campbell
would fug almost every nature. Either big tits, or big hips, or a balance of both.
Chase Russell
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.
Bentley Mitchell
ur gay.
Liam Rogers
xHiddenxPantsx is that you? If you are please hang yourself already
Kevin Howard
Well at least you told the gay off.
Christopher Jenkins
I don't know who that is
At least people aren't accusing me of being Bui this time.
Sebastian Roberts
Gay porn is just as allowed here as straight.
Really it's the garde and hex maniacfags you should purge
Aaron Ward

Dominic Ward
Naw. Gay is boring bullshit you faggot simpleton. Change your ways, not my fault you like buttholes more than me.
Owen Powell
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
Ethan Cooper

Ryan Sanchez
Oh actually I do know who that is, I saw him sperg out. I just didnt know the name
Gavin Allen
That's it. Holla Forums has gone too far this time.
Dominic Campbell
I dunno who that is motherfucker.>>13034353
I DUNNO MOTHERFUCKER
Evan Bennett
I mean, I'll stop posting hex.
Not like anyone else is going on topic and giving OP recommended youtube channels.
Adam Ramirez
I'd choose Hasty , Serious and Calm
Aiden Perry
I dont actually care I'm just bullying you
Jayden Johnson
...
Josiah Edwards
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
Logan Gutierrez
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.
Joseph Lopez
That mantis is really cute.
Thomas Harris
everything this post says is true
Brandon Lewis
Meh.
Evan James
the robot voice makes it so much more corny lol
Isaiah Brooks
i want to get into competitive poke-fucking.
Nathaniel Long
No, god no. Please don't post that evil. I legit shudder when I see that goof guy.
Parker Peterson
pokemon is rehashed baby's first rpg and you're a fag for liking it
Tyler Cox
What does a guy have to do to get his pokemon pozzed with Pokerus around here?
Jack Bennett
Silvally seems pretty dirty, doesn't he?
Do you think Poison or Bug typing would be more fun with him?
