Stop having fun Antibody, the game isn't meant to be played like that.

Spoiler

:P

LIES!!!


But seriously, if you still want to use salimence, go ahead. Not many people will complain (and those who do are probably those that say that only R/B/Y existed or those who treat pokemon as life-or-death/serious business/tornament-rules-or-don't-play(e.g. as in 'FOX! NO ITEMS! FINAL DESTINATION!')). So in other words, use what you want! I still use Charizard even though the tournament players would scream at me for using it (massive weakness to rock).

The fact is that no Pokemon in OU is capable of switching into every move on the MixMence set except Cressilia who is destroyed by Scizor and Tyranitar,which in the Mence era were both in top 10 usage constantly,Mence's attacking stats are just too good.

And with Intimidate it can switch into a lot of neutral attacks.

Also,every team in the Salamence era had 3+ checks for him proves he was broken IMO.

And just because you have an ice attack doesn't mean you can beat Salamence unless it's Ice Shard.

And no Ice Pokemon can switch into Draco Meteor,meaning you have to sacrifice a Pokemon to get your ice type in,and once you do Salamence will just switch out and come back in later to rip another Pokemon appart with DM.

Dragon's are just too good this generation,and I really like the Salamence-less metagame.

It's more diverse and a lot less centralized,not every team requires a Scizor now and there are a lot of different stall breakers instead of every team just using Salamence to rip stall appart.

Just my opinions but I think Smogon has done a very good job trying to balance out this broken generation..I hate to see it,but the fact is that the 3 dragons that have been banned really needed it,they're just way too good now.

Maybe it's because I haven't seen how powerful dragon prokemon are in this generation, since I've only gotten three badges in Pearl and my friend took back SoulSilver (really need to get a dedicated DS.... c'mon 3DS, lower the price of the DS Lite down to sub-$100 for me!) but just. It didn't seem ridiculously powerful in R/S/E and looking at it still does not seem to state "broken" to me.

Good lord competitive Pokemon is complicated and un-fun. I know you've said it really isn't but your post just furthers my belief that it is. I'm with Azaban, I'll stick to playing in the game where anything can beat anything given the right circumstances.

I stopped playing competitively after G/S/C because of it. Tried to get back into it with R/S/E but it just was no fun anymore.

That's why then.

Dragons were good in the last gen,but the fact that they had no good STAB options made them much worse.

Now with the split Outrage/Draco Meteor blow everything up,and with Earthquake and Fire Blast no Pokemon in the game can resists everything Salamence can throw at 'em.

Salamence tends to go down fast,but the fact that he can 2hko every Pokemon in OU means he usually manages to take 2+ Pokemon with him Draco Meteor spamming on switches.

That's such great news, because, you know, Luvdisc is really popular and isn't a throwaway pokemon at all. [/extreme sarcasm] By the looks of it's evolution it'll just be another throwaway. But looks can be deceiving I guess...

Also, this has been on my mind ever since it was revealed... doesn't the pokemon in the middle look A LOT like http://ben10.wikia.com/wiki/Chromastone? I mean, they look really, really similar.

You never know, it might not be as useless as luvdisc but yet again, the fire starter has a higher chance of becoming a flying type.

Nearly got my first lvl100 since gen2. At the moment, it is around lvl80 and is a swampert. Hopefully I can get those last 20 levels before he returns to hoenn (it came from sapphire an moved to diamond at lvl7 and is by far my best pokemon)

Gamefreak must really hate farfetch'd. I mean, luvdisc of all creatures is getting an evolution when the poor little duck samurai has been begging for one since gen 2.

I don't have any news to contribute so have a picture. http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss346/azaban/FlyingBulbasaurVenusaur.jpg

Yeah I don't really give a damn about any of that. Anyway captain america eagle looks interesting with the freefall attack. Might have to use one.

Sooo apparently http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/aa/PokeSun_July25_10.png is a legendary Pokemon. Eh :shrug:

So help me god if there isn't a Farfetch'd evolution.

Hey, it's better than some giant creature with machinery jutting from it's ass. Or something that shoots lightning from it's ears. This one looks like an idiot and I can support that decision fully.

[P PoLlo]

Hmm, "#000 in the Isshu Pokédex"... it's Missingno!

#000 obvioiusly implies that it is a pokemon that everyone has always. Probably Alien-esque where it is impregnated inside you at some point and bursts out of you at the start of the game, nearly killing you.

So help me god if there isn't a Farfetch'd evolution.

you will buy the game(s) anyway, but piss and moan about it on the Internet

I'm going to be very disappointed if obtaining this new legendary doesn't resemble this in any way.

[claire ley]

I don't believe I would buy it, actually. I'd still play it, however, just to see what's changed.

[stephanie eastwood]

Your loss then.
I wouldn't actually mind if farfech'd didn't get an evolution. It would be nice though but it isn't that essential.

Did ash give bulbasaur to someone ? I can't remember if he did or not. Charizard he gave to the one chick who runs the charirific valley,squartle went back to the squartle squad that helps the one officer jenny.

Ash is really stupid. Every time he goes to a new region he starts off with nobody but Pikachu, and dumps all of his powerful Pokemon in Oak's lab. How the hell does he expect to ever actually win a region's Pokemon league, or even freaking defeat one of the Elite "Four", things he has never once accomplished, if he keep starting over again? Oh, I forgot, the anime isn't about becoming a Pokemon master anymore. Not that it has been since Johto...

He's gonna do it through the power of love.

But really he's an idiot for dumping Primeape in a box. And, in all honesty, if battles and multiplayer was like it was in the anime then battles would be a hell of alot more interesting.

Agreed. Ash is a dumb [censored]. This is why i always liked gary freakin oak better.

I think he gave it to a pokemon boxing trainer. Not sure though.

[Rhiannon Jones]

Still a dumb move. That primeape could wreck things when it wanted to.

[matt white]

I think he gave it to a pokemon boxing trainer. Not sure though.

He did, from what I remember. Did a little clicking from xXAntibodyXx's link and found this:

"Ash wins the championship and leaves his Primeape with Anthony to train. He says he will come back for it someday."

I take it there was never a "someday".

[Cesar Gomez]

Still a dumb move. That primeape could wreck things when it wanted to.

If ash gives away or releases his gible i swear i will throw my tv out a window while screaming "ash you dumb [censored] gible would of been stronger than pikachu"
