POKEMON

[Pumpkin]

Join us and change your sets.

Or just discuss Pokemon. I like Squirtle the mostest.

[Skyblade]

Since this is the Lounge I take it we are discussing things outside of the games?

I do not have a very high opinion of the anime in general. The card game was alright, I suppose, but too easy to break from what I remember.

[Denmark]

i had planned this set way in advance and just decided to use it but okay whatever B)

zapdos is the best legendary bird, discuss. articuno is cool (heh) too. if you say moltres i will punch your face

[Jinx]

I RECENTLY FOUND A WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN PLAY POKEMON RED AND BLUE FOR FREE

I was playing Pokémon in '96, and I never stopped.

Goldeen's always been my favorite (GAY I KNOW)

[Denmark]

it's okay just as long as you don't also like flareon best

[Jinx]

Nah, Vaporeon is the best Eeveelution of the original three.

Although I generally prefer fire Pokemon to water Pokemon.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Squirtle was my starter when I played the game, so that has always been a favorite of mine. For some reason I always pick the water Pokemon for my starter in games.

Also, Squirtle was awesome in the show. I mean, look at him! 45105

Aside from my original Charizard for obvious reasons, my favorite Pokemon card I owned was Umbreon for some reason. It had really awesome art.

[Shorty]

Vulpix is the best pokemon, nerds.

But I'm not doing this.

[Denmark]

that fits your personality, I guess, sam. you're FIERY whereas I'm more serene, like water and water-types. IT ALL FITS

and zapdos is just a bro

[Pumpkin]

I want a Vulpix in real life.

Vulpix is just a little sweetie but don't piss her off or you'll get BURRRRNED

Also, can someone explain Staryu and Starmie to me? Easily the most stupid Pokemon of the first generation.

[Denmark]

totodile #1 best starter greatest of all time

> no one agrees
> whatever i still got my awesome brotodile

best physical/attack-focused starter in a heavily-physical generation? which also happens to be my favorite generation of games? heck to the yes

edit: starmie was a speedy special beast that could learn surf/psychic/ice beam/thunderbolt, aka the best non-earthquake moves in gen1.

You should all play around with this. (http://pokemon.alexonsager.net/)

Last week I went around repping every post Pike made because charmander is my favourite pokemon. The other day at work I found a pokemon card so I put it in someone's mailbox with the following note attached:

My pokemon bring all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "You wanna trade cards?"
Yeah, damn right, I wanna trade cards
I'll beat you, I've got Charizard!

[Flaming Ice]

My brother got whipped by some guy with a towel because he wouldn't trade him a charizard card.


My sister and brother helped by blocking my brother from escaping.....yeah, weird......i didn't block him off 'cause it seemed pretty stupid. Then that guy had a crush on my sister so he gave her a few holos (some things that we traded over to him too!). Another kid (who didn't really know her) liked my sister too and gave her an onyx.



Then some guy that used to bully me tried to make up by giving me a stack of cards lol.





Not Gen I, but I did love these guys



Togepi (with mew) were kind of gen 1 (they counted gen 1 for the first 150 I believe and just added mew after like some secret or something). Togepi showed up way before gen 2.



Also, can someone explain Staryu and Starmie to me? Easily the most stupid Pokemon of the first generation.


No clue, they have no eyes!

But that's like blastoise with canons on his back.....then hollow darkness underneath...

[Pumpkin]

We have Charmander and Squirtle. Someone needs to be Bulbasaur now.

I like me some Pokemon, but I'm not going to play by your rules and change my set to a pokemon. Not when I have a set already planned for next week!

My favourite to actually play the game has always been sandshrew (my lucky number!) and sandslash, so I've changed my sig accordingly ^_^

Heck yeah! Here's a screenshot I took when I last played the game a few years ago. This was a loooooooooong battle:

That's what I did too. I just uploaded it on Photobucket and cropped/resized it.

Used to be able to do this.....it'd go to a single picture and I could copypaste but now google has pictures that appear on the side of the page as well so it doesn't go through :(

[Shauna]

Amaterasu counts as a Pokemon, right? Right. :3

[Formalhaut]

Decided to join in on the fun and get myself a Growlithe set. I even added some stuff the base wallpaper to make it extra special!

[Værn]

I don't see any Haunters yet, so I'm totally calling dibs.
I'd've gone with Jigglypuff, but I happened to have some Haunter wallpapers on hand to mess with.

I guess everyone breezed over the pokemon randomizer that I linked in my initial post in this thread :roll2

I'm glad it's taking off though, Pike you did indeed start something awesome here!

Maybe someone should create a "sig making tips" thread in the art forum? Not a photoshop tutorial, but maybe just a list of links to free photo editing software, a reminder of the sig and avatar requirements and a couple of general hints about making things look nice? It doesn't take long to google an image or wallpaper or some stock gradients and pull them together.

[Aulayna]

Totes getting in on this.

[Rocket Edge]

Gyarados, Ninetails, Arcanine, Mewtwo, Sandslash, Parasect, Articuno, Xatu, Lanturn & Dragonair were my favourites if I remember correctly. Especially Gyarados & Arcanine though, they were the shit.

[Flaming Ice]

Bahaha ...bought black version today for $20 at Walmart for the heck of it...need something to do.

[Raistlin]

Squirtle (and later Blastoise) was my mainstay Pokemon back in the Red/Blue era (the only Pokemon version I played).

Other fun Pokemon: Alakazam (though I see Del is already a lower version :mad2:), Haunter, and Charizard.

And, of course, Magikarp (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWVtrfa4kAA).

I'm tempted to join and level a bunch of Magikarp to level 100.
Or I could just go with my classic team of Electrode, Electrode, Electrode, Electrode, Electrode, and Gengar...

[NorthernChaosGod]

Nah, Vaporeon is the best Eeveelution of the original three.

Although I generally prefer fire Pokemon to water Pokemon.

Vaporeon is objectively the worst of the three.

And I'll join too.

Seriously? :colbert: Jolteon and Flareon can hardly learn anything good. Meanwhile Vaporeon gets Surf and all sorts of great stuff.

Jolteon has STAB Thunder/Thunderbolt for massive damage, Volt Switch, and is hella fast. And Vaporeon looks stupid

[Pike]

Volt Switch

I'm talking about Gen One bro :colbert:

[NorthernChaosGod]

Volt Switch

I'm talking about Gen One bro :colbert:

Then Vaporeon is still useless because Jolteon is way faster.

[TrollHunter]

Volt Switch

I'm talking about Gen One bro :colbert:

Then Vaporeon is still useless because Jolteon is way faster.
except jolteons a sweeper, and vaporeon isn't.
Vaporeon is for having high HP and special defense, with moves such as acid armor to make it a balanced wall.
Not to mention, access to a Stab surf, along with ice beam and a variety of other moves gives it very solid coverage against a lot of pokemon who would down it.
I will say one thing though, vaporeon isnt as good in gen 1... but in future generations such as 3 4 and 5 it becomes an absolute monster. I hardly ever analyze gen 1 from a competitive standpoint though due to how broken and unbalanced it is.
I used to purely use jolteon or umbreon in the past, but now vaporeon is my absolute favorite.

[Pumpkin]

I LIKE ALL OF THE EEVEELUTIONS

Who else here feel sorry for Eevee? Do you know how many horrible tests must have been performed on it to discover all of its known evolutions? And somewhere, someone is still trying to figure out how to trigger its Ghost evolution...

[Shaibana]

Sylveon is a 'fairy-type'
i guess they are comming with a new type of pokemon
