I just remembered something I considered a while back but then forgot about again. Did anyone try using event Pokémon for ingame-tiering purposes? A couple of smart people managed to set up custom servers to download event Pokémon by simply tweaking your DS settings and using mystery gift in Gen...

One of the major problems I have with some of the current ingame tier lists and the conventional rules is that they usually ignore or at least strongly undervalue the viability of a lot of Pokemon for regular battles in order to keep up their level. I also have issues that they never consider...

I'd like to request a name change to Geta92. The current account name has been unused by me for more than a decade. yep - nya

I've got a suggestion to fix this shortcoming. DP got a friendship underflow bug. If you use 1 Energy Powder or Energy Root right after catching Buneary during a battle, it will underflow the friendship. So that's instant Lopunny after a level-up and maxed Return after Lost Tower. I haven't used...

In that case just count Emboar towards B as it was the only one that significantly gained from that. You might also want to add this matter to the "What tools are allowed for the player to use?" section as I wouldn't count vitamins as boosting items in the traditional sense. I was thinking about...

The main point of this playthrough was testing out the significance of doing a major sequence break and getting Dive prior to beating the game. All in all, I would say that doing just that is extremely significant in the viability of Pokémon like Emboar which greatly benefit from speed and...

I might pick up the game again to do some tests when I get the time to do so. If anyone else wants to try something out, something I had in mind was skipping Rattata and just getting a Raticate at the Strange House. It's only in C right now but I think it could be a lot better. A big advantage...

How is Psyduck hard to find? It has a 100% encounter rate at the small pond in Fuchsia City, so right after you leave the Safari Zone with Surf. Not to mention the level range is 20-40, so you can also use the Repel Trick just like with Tentacool. But Tentacool has a wider level range, so the...

By my own complaints, it would have been D-tier, but that felt too extreme as Sleep+Seed helped and I cannot possibly suggest dropping something by 2 tiers at once. I may have stronger opinions on route clearing than others, yeah. I have a small speedrunning background as well, I assume I cannot...

Okay, just finished a new playthrough. Mostly to test Bulbasaur and get some more fresh experiences with Primeape and Snorlax. Bulbasaur: Oh boy, where do I start? I think after using Bulbasaur for a run, I truly grasp a very big issue with the ingame tiering process. That being the strong...

I'm currently planning to start a new playthrough to test some of the marked Pokémon and a pretty major question came up. When tiering these Pokémon, are we tiering them based on their efficiency regarding using them all the way until E4 or E4-Round 2 after catching them or is it fine to rank a...

My last playthrough was already like half a year ago so I'll not go too deep into the specifics, just mentioning my picks that are still up to debate in the current tier list: Charmander: I consider the fan favorite fire lizard to be A-tier material, if only just very barely. It’s really hard...

I mostly replayed the game to test Venusaur and Marowak and I gotta say, one I liked very much and the other one not so much. Hawlucha (ingame-trade): Arguably the highest tiered Pokémon up until Generation 7. Comes early, has a good nature and IVS, does not need support, learns good attacks...

I personally enjoy the inclusion of the QR mons very much as they are very easy to obtain with the 20 point codes that are easily searchable on the internet (would be a neat thing to include those in the 1st post by the way) as well as the fact than you can scan 5 codes, save and then change...

Has anyone ever tried catching a Lv. 45 Carvanha with the Super Rod on Route 119? If that info is truly correct (Bulbapedia and Serebii both list it, so I assume it is), imo Sharpedo should rise because you can get the super rod right before Tate & Liza, when having a dark type becomes really...
