    PokéTunes part II: Adventurous Journey

    Would just like to say that I love these articles about the soundtracks of Pokemon. Articulates the feelings I've had towards these tunes that I've had since childhood- but could never quite put into words. Kudos and looking forward to more.

    Is there any reason to use Zard-X over Volcarona? I seem them both as powerful fire type sweepers, and both mandate defog/rapid spin support on your team.

    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for January 2018 (Feb @ #263) (Mar @ #696)

    What, is there no moderation for this thread at all? How are people on this Lando hate train allowed to spew baseless and already endlessly refuted shit, as well as provocative comments like this?

    Hey guys, haven't played since early XY and now I'm back, and want to participate in OU for a bit. I'm very interested in using Greninja-ash. I've been spectating battles of ELO 1300+ players on Showdown, but haven't managed to see a single match where Greninja-ash was even included on a team...

    Infuriating moments in spin-offs

    I actually never beat explorers of Time thanks to me encountering monster houses on 5 consecutive runs in the final dungeon. I sorta developed a phobia for the game at that point, which is a pity because the game has fun characters, music and even a brilliant storyline! (Hey, I was 14 when I...

    Sticky Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

    Yea man, one thing I hate gamefreak for is that they took away Sceptile's signature move away from him, it became poopy to use on him. Actually quite a few water pokemon really suffered in RSE from not having physical water stab: Swampert, Azumarill, Gyarados (try breeding one with hidden power...

    Sticky Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

    To be honest, if they remade ruby and sapphire completely as it currently is and sold it again, but with physical-special split, I would buy it. Imagine Swampert and Azumarill actually having water STAB!!

    Sticky Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

    The first time I realized there were roller skates in XY, I sort of got a mini orgasm. I seriously hope they include it in ORAS- who doesn't want to roller skate on a volcano, on the treetops or an abandoned ship?

    Greatest (or your favourite) Video Game of all time!

    Final Fantasy VI and Mass Effect 2 for me. Both have top-notch storytelling, awesome gameplay, loveable and memorable characters, as well as amazing music and a grand sense of scale. Both had moments that blew my mind and made me catch my breath marvelling at the sheer awesomeness of the game...

    Sticky Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

    In my opinion the RSE elite four was easily the best one among all Pokemon games (although it really should have emerald E4 levels+Steven instead of wallace). You could see they put some thought into the order and pokemon of the E4, unlike the bunch of useless shits we got in XY. Seriously, XY...

    Sticky Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

    I hope they make the game as challenging as possible. Archie and Maxie were just disgustingly easy to beat, they could barely do anything to a decent party of Pokemon. On that note it would be great if they stop making terrorist group bosses, Elite four members and gym leaders hold less than...

    The idea of that music, remade......I hope they don't fuck up the music like they did with hgss

    Other OU Playstyle of the Week - Balance

    Forgot to mention why I didn't pick Flare Blitz (thanks for the reminder). The way I see it, Charizard-x aims to survive as long as possible and deal a lot of residual damage. Therefore I loathe to use recoil moves on him since it can really compromise his longevity, which defeats the purpose...

    Other OU Playstyle of the Week - Balance

    I'm by no means an experienced battler but thought I'd try to contribute here. From my attempts at constructing balanced teams, I can say that my usual framework is to have a 3/3 split of offensive/defensive Mons. This is not a fixed number: 4/6 can work just as well. Besides, some Mons aren't...

    Gen 6 Simple Questions, Simple Answers (XY Ubers Edition - read before posting a thread)

    See random comments here and there that "bulky ghost types such as Giratina-O and Arceus-Ghost aren't used that much by experienced players". I use this Giratina-O as a mixed attacker on my ubers team, and I find him perfectly fine. I want to know if there's a better 'Mon for me to use in place...

    Gen 6 The XY Ubers Viability Ranking Thread [Read Post #1000]

    New to Ubers metagame: Checking the current iteration of the ubers viability ranking thread, Starmie is no where to be seen. I've personally found Starmie useful as an offensive rapid spinner- if its spinning duties are not required, it can do well as a cleaner. Many ubers offensive threats are...

    Suggestions

    I agree. I'm a low-ish player (bouncing between 1300-1500) and I'd like to watch good players battling so that I can learn more about teambuilding, reasonable predictions etc. It seems that every other game I spectate is a candidate to be posted to the "silly things encountered on OU ladder"...

    Other Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder: V2

    I see I see, my bad :D I don't think Swellow merits usage at all though. You have so many better flying pokemon and guts pokemon around, and they have to use Swellow of all things? It's a pretty ridiculously small niche to be looking for. Thinking process: "hmm, I need a fast pokemon that has...
