F**k yeah Pokemon!

[BlazingBarrager]

I'm surprised no one has started a thread on this yet. Ah well. This thread is here to talk about (what else?) Pokemon! Note that this is NOT a "trade your Friend Code" thread as we already have one for that.

Anyway, discuss.

You can always go competitive. That's what I'm doing right now. Finished the story (twice) so I'm just training, experimenting, and spamming Battle Mansion for items. PokeBank really helps with this as well.

One in five 3DS owners have Pokémon X or Y and there was a 135% spike in sales for the system after the games were released. Pokémon isn't dead because it knows how to get new players while keeping all of the old ones.

Nice joke.

I have lost my data like 2 times this is my 3rd data, trying to regain everything (Pokemon X)
Soon gonna try Pokemon Glazed out, maybe even Blaze Black 2.

[Kiyza]

To be honest, I hope they don't add too many more mega evolutions in the future and stick to having new evolutions of Pokémon that need it. Mega evolution makes them more difficult to fit in a team since you can only use one and the only new evolution added in the past two generations was Sylveon. Personally, I'd like to see a few of the more interesting species of the past few generations get new forms so I can use them competitively. It's downright sinful that Hawlucha doesn't evolve -- it'd be top-tier with better stats.

What do you guys think of my first competitive team?

Pokemon isn't dead to be sure, otherwise we wouldn't be getting new games all the time. However to say they know how to keep the old players is a giant crock of naughtyword. Go anywhere and you'll find at least a handful of people who stopped playing after 2nd or 3rd gen because it all went to shit.

Between the ever increasing ridiculous number of Pokemon to catch and the fact that 3rd and 4th Gen required owning all 3 games, spin-off's, console games and games that had yet to be released in the US at the time, the series has been ruined for a lot of completionists.

Personally, I don't know shit about the Smogon metagame. When I play competitively, it's VGC regulation doubles. I haven't done singles since I started competing in regionals around five years ago. Haven't been recently because Gen V had too many problems with weather effects, but it's balanced out nicely now.

It's a balanced team, but not viable at all outside of Smogon OU. You couldn't use this online for singles because Manaphy and Kyurem are both banned. You also don't have a counter for Speed Boost/Mega Blaziken, which is an automatic bust for online singles. (Azumaril and Talonflame can both OHKO it with priority and resist its STAB. Anything that can OHKO it with a Focus Sash or Sturdy is also not a bad pick.)

My VGC and online doubles team (I've totally given up on singles, as I feel more Pokémon have a chance in doubles and the strategy is less predictable) is uses about half Gen VI Pokémon so I can use them for the first time. I'd post my setup, but I don't want anyone to know the strategies I'm using. If I challenge anyone, I want my team to be a complete surpise, as I'm using a pretty unconventional team.

"All" is, of course, hyperbole, but it's difficult to deny that many fans of the games are veterans of the series that never gave up on it. I was literally at the mall twenty minutes ago talking to high school senior classmates about it. My cousin, now in his 20s, still plays Pokémon and he's not a completionist. It's actually not that hard to be a completionist if you keep up with the games -- only about 50 new Pokémon were released with X and Y Versions.

A lot of people have given up, yes, but the games' inherently addictive qualities mean that people who give up for one generation come back later sometimes. Additionally, sales haven't been lagging much over the years. It's an ingrained part of its generation; a cultural phenomenon.

Well thanks to you I now have the inspiration to start a VGC team. Thanks Kiyza.
