Oh pokemon anime, you have taught us so many lies...

At it looks like love can bloom on the battlefiend, at least for those Poochyena.

[deep]

I love little bits of self-awareness.

"What eyes?"

[Showsni]

I arrive in Petalburg!

[JRPomazon]

Signs: "Read 'em and weep."

[Showsni]

Seriously, the first thing he finds is a Ralts?

[deep]

I just realized his lender Pokemon fits his gym theme.

And I hope you actually did research just how long of a walk it is between the towns.

[Showsni]

Of course!

It's even faster if I hold space bar. But that's kind of cheating.

[deep]

haha. My fast-forward is almost always on, unless I am precision screenshotting.

[JRPomazon]

So you finally met Scott. That douchebag.

[Showsni]

Is there a way to tell a Dustox Wurmple from a Beautifly Wurmple?

[deep]

I think it's a day/night thing depending up when Silcoon evolves.

[Veteran]

^ Oh it's far more complicated than that.


I can't help but notice the Ralts looks... unfortunate.

[Showsni]

Blame Nintendo, not me!

Travelling in Petalburg Woods, when possible tragedy strikes!

[deep]

^ Oh it's far more complicated than that.

"Wurmple will evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon starting at level 7 depending on its personality value. As personality values cannot be influenced by the player, what a given Wurmple will evolve into is essentially random."

Just read up on "Personality values." Why does this game have so much behind-the-scenes numbering that is needlessly complicated?

[Showsni]

Well, each Pokémon needs a random number associated with it to tell it which gender/nature/ability to be. So they just use the number for other things, too (shininess, Spinda spots, etc.). PIDs aren't too bad.

Really was lucky I found those berries, I had no Antidotes.

[Showsni]

In retrospect, TEAM AQUA's plan was pretty poor.

[deep]

Yeah, I was always unconvinced that big strong thugs would leave a tween alone after they lost a Pokemon battle.

[JRPomazon]

The pokémon world is filled with a number of strange inconsistencies.

[Showsni]

I guess the idea is anyone with Pokémon still fit could in theory turn them on you, so you don't mess with them (because people have all 1 IVs and no useful resistances).

[Showsni]

Why do the evil team members use terribad Pokémon?

[Veteran]

That *is* a good question!

[Showsni]

I don't know. Not much happens on the latter half of Route 104.

[Veteran]

Boosting when something is Biding is the most satisfying experience ever!

[deep]

But accidentally queuing up an attack when they Bide in their first turn is the epitome of anguish.

[JRPomazon]

You slip up and attack while a pokémon is biding and you better pray the next one does them in. So many close calls, so little time.

[Showsni]

I just wish Bite was physical. One of my Poochyenas is Adamant, which would be great in fourth gen; but here it's just annoying.

[Veteran]

Ooooh, awesome. I smell a Shedinja coming.

[JRPomazon]

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP AN OPEN SPACE IN YOUR PARTY WHEN NINCADA EVOLVES.

[Sir Deimos]

Man. Shedinja will be amazing for a Nuzlocke run...
