Breaking Blathering 6

[zemanjaski]

What's everyone's favourite Gen 1 Pokemon?

Mine was Scyther when I didn't know any better, then Gengar.

[Mcdonalds]

Blastoise

Cause Blue was (and still is) my favorite.

[TubeHunter]

I've always wanted to be a seel

[Kazekirimaru]

Arcanine.

[Second Harkius]

how many Pokemon are there now?

[Kazekirimaru]

>9000718.

[imopen2]

playing with fire is the best

[Second Harkius]

>9000718.

I've have thought they'd have run out of dumb names at around 300-400. Guess not.

[Second Harkius]

Whatever happened to Digimon? that was a thing once too.

[Second Harkius]

the digimon show was pretty good, or at least my kid self liked it.

[Kazekirimaru]

It's still around. Gasping for breath in the wake of Pokemon's successes.

[Second Harkius]

probably wouldn't hold up now, just like Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

[Second Harkius]

let's build a time machine and go back to the 90s and every time the date gets to September 10th, 2001 we hop back to the night Clinton gets elected.

[Second Harkius]

we can live as kings after making millions betting on the outcome of the OJ trial

[Second Harkius]

we can rent 2$ movies at Blockbuster again

[Second Harkius]

we can marvel at the awesome N64 graphics

[imopen2]

we can wait 2 hours for a 30 second porn clip to download

[imopen2]

oh wait that was me in 2005

[imopen2]

the digimon show was pretty good, or at least my kid self liked it.

seasons 1 and 2 were great

[Kazekirimaru]

Make it happen.

[Thrillho]

the digimon fanbase is really intense and dedicated and also apparently the series is way better than the pokemon one(?)

[Thrillho]

also damn that configuration just for average IV shinies

[Thrillho]

i spent most of tonight talking about pokemon with some west coast friends.
my ideal team of 6 with one per generation was:
gengar
tyranitar
metagross
lucario
volcarona
aegislash

this wasn't like "ideal team that i would play with competitively" but you know what i was going for hopefully.

[Thrillho]

gen 1 was all about starmie, gengar, dragonite, farfetch'd, the cubone line, lapras, and scyther excluding legendaries

[Thrillho]

it may have just been because of the tcg but i was always really into "one-stage" pokemon like electabuzz and scyther in gen 1, but retrospectively none of them were ever as good as the tcg versions.

[Thrillho]

pre-physical/special attack type split hitmonchan was the actual worst

[Thrillho]

i always wanted a fire grass or fire bug and then they made volcarona and my dreams came true.

[Thrillho]

it's like i'm really hardcore about pokemon but i'm also a big softie. i liked gengar because he was the only ghost and i didn't know the special stat as a single stat made him OP as fuck. i didn't know how good tyranitar was i just thought he was really cool looking. i kind of knew how good metagross was at the time but he was this robot that had a giant punch attack that only it learned. lucario is this cool ninja wolf dude who's too cool for school look at him. volcarona was a type combo i wanted for like 4 generations. aegislash was a joke pokemon at first because i wasn't feeling anything gen 6 but then the idea of a floating ghost sword turned itself into my favorite thing.

[Thrillho]

(almost) all of the guys i like are OU tournament staples but that's not why i like them but it also doesn't hurt

Poorly edited. Other than that not a bad read. Almost makes me want to dabble in standard.

"I cant phone post for shit. Double posting...

[rezombad]

It is a very hard deck to play optimally. There many varied lines possible with most hands

For competitive fighting? I wasn't involved back then. Favorite just because? Mewtwo, of course. I also always really liked Kabutops, Haunter/Gengar, Hitmonchan, Scyther and Charmanders ev line.

[zemanjaski]

I really liked Mewtwo in the first movie. Pretty well developed character by Pokemon standards.

[Kaitscralt]

Word

[Kaitscralt]

Mewtwo's mega evolution in X looks like shit

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

I need to get 2 shiney ralts. One male and one female.

[Kaitscralt]

Good luck
