Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I was lucky with Tapu Koko and that I pulled one out in just an hour or so but it literally took me like a solid week to pull a Modest HP Fire Tapu Lele.
Man, that would have been such a cool concept if they actually had a variety of Pokemon one could use before facing the gym that forces you to use a different typed Pokemon. Maybe if they threw it at the third gym as a sort of "Are you paying attention to the mechanics of the game?" thing.
Though one more thing...Manaphy was said to be born in warm waters while Phione is said to be born in colder waters. How "warm" do we got to get to get Manaphy eggs then? Hoenn and Alola are apparently too cold since they produce Phione eggs as well.
True. But then again, arguably the best series ever, Time Force, had the same kind of issue. They're supposed to be mutant humans in Time Force, but the original had them as being aliens
So, in terms of Pokemon TCG, in July they're releasing a Shiny Tapu Koko Collection. In Japan, the Shiny Tapu Koko cards are being released alongside the Shiny Tapu Koko event. Is this a sign that we MAY be getting it as well in July?
Nah nah nah. The only memorable thing is does is annoy the hell out of you when battling Team Plasma goons who keep hitting you with Hypnosis. Honestly Patrat and Watchog are some of the worst designed Pokemon in Gen V and I happen to like most of them.
To be fair, many Pokemon are so much more powerful than what a simple gun could do. The whole thing is that when they sick their Pokemon on you, you have yours to defend yourself. That's how I always took it.
I can see it working similar to Japan in America - you have to go to Gamestop to get the code and each week it's active will give you a different Ash-Pikachu. Which this is going to be annoying because so many of us want Indigo League Hat and that will be the first and Gamestop will be annoying...
As a person that always mindlessly grinds, I actually have no problem with the level 100 requirement. It's the Bottle Caps that are the limiters for me. I haven't been playing as much as I normally do but I've gotten 3 different in-game teams to level 100 and my competition teams up to level...
And then you see it use the flying Z-move and it's floating in midair, still in the standing position, incredibly pissed at everything. And then it comes crashing into the foe still angry like that.
I'm too lazy to breed new guys...and maybe my team won't be a total loserfest now! I though it was a Singles team and raised it up for that. But it was actually a Doubles Battle so my team was creamed by people that actually KNEW that.
