The Snorlax Room

[M.K]

I was roaming around Cold Storage training a bit for the 5th Gym.
Went for a Shaking Grass patch, totally expecting Audino.

Wild

Stoutland

appears!

I was like ".......lolwut?!"

 

[kirbyraeg]

snorlax was my surfer in 1st gen

eh had amnesia too rofl

 

[choknater]

LOL. when i was a child i didnt even realize how good amnesia was.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Am I the only one that absolutely refused to use non-attacking moves when I was little? I remember pretty much thinking "if I can't damage my enemy then the move sucks."

Dude I was just like you.

I still do that lol

 

[choknater]

lol yeah

its actually more effective to go all out attacking in game, since the game allows you to counter every pokemon right as they come in.

 

[Wave⁂]

There are some exceptions, mostly against gym leaders and stuff, and it's a nice way to get around potentially annoying stuff like OHKO and evasion moves.

 

[kirbyraeg]

the only thing that had a non-attacking move was snorlax

i sat there and used amnesia all dai

but i got rid of amnesia on my mewtwo and gave it swift cuz i never wanted to miss LOL

Same here, I remember my Typlosion in Gold having Ember,Flame Wheel, Flame Thrower and Rock Smash

I did the same thing too. Except for status changing moves (i.e. confuse ray), of course. I erased moves like 'tail whip' at the first opportunity I had.

 

[choknater]

we on the pacific west coast are bracing ourselves for tsunami warnings. the scheduled tsunami has been active for i'd say about 2 hours, but the swells are not very bad here at all. i hope it stays this way, i have a class today which is fairly close to a bay

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Lol- at your negative posts.

Not so lol- at the tsunami warning. I hope it stays alright and you all don't get much swelling. ><

 

[choknater]

looks like we're in pretty good shape here in san fran. i've been watching footage from japan though.. some parts of that country are absolutely devastated.

i saw footage of the tanker explosion, and it's hard to believe explosions like that still happen these days. it's surreal, but it happened

 

[ss118]

I used Recover + 3 attack Mewtwo on the original pokemon stadium and Minimize on my Chansey.

 

[choknater]

haha, honestly it was pokemon stadium and pokemon stadium 2 that taught me competitive pokemon in my early days. prime cup final round's leech seed celebi and karen's toxic stalling umbreon (toxic, confuse ray, double team, ATTRACT) were some of my worst enemies.

needless to say, my pokemon were attracted to that umbreon.

 

[kirbyraeg]

i'm trying to get info on the eq+tsunami in japan

i sure hope things are ok for my family there

 

[Wave⁂]

You have family over there? I'm sorry, I hope they're okay.

 

[choknater]

i hope so too

thanks to engineering and general well-preparedness in japan, deaths and injuries were kept to a minimum. the hundreds is very tragic, but i am thankful that their safety precautions prevented this from being in the thousands.

all jokes aside, pokemon ruby/sapphire and kyogre/groudon were actually created to express a reflection of these natural disasters common to japan

the game's story themes are interesting

rbygsc: not much apart from good prevailing over evil. team rocket was straight up gangster

rse: humans subject to the power of nature

dpp: metaphysics, the order of the universe. cyrus wanted to change it to follow his rules (no emotions = no confict = peace)

bw:

Spoiler

pursuing dreams, connection with pokemon as companions. plasma wanted to "free" pokemon, but separating pokemon from people would make people sad.

N is one of the weirdest characters to ever grace the pokemon games. i dont know whether to like him or not. just a weird guy.

overall the bw story got very philosophical LOL, i didn't expect myself to think about life that much while playing the game. they really tried to express the theme super directl this time.

 

[Wave⁂]

Are sure the games are actually deep and it's not the players looking too hard for meaning?

 

[choknater]

trust me, the themes in gen's 3, 4, and 5 are quite apparent. 5 is by far the most philosophical, i personally got tired of all the talk about truth and ideals with ghetsis/n/alder.

gens 1 and 2 were pretty much good vs evil, but they didn't really push you to think about it. team rocket was, like i said, just straight up gangster. they didn't have any misguided plans to change the world, they were just a crime syndicate.

giovanni = best boss of all time.

archie and maxie = lame
cyrus = garbage
ghetsis = weird, but cooler than those guys. only by a little bit.
N = very very strange, interesting character. just wait till you guys see his room... god, that was a well done scene. i was legitimately creeped out. the musical ambience reminded me of lavender town.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

I'll agree, N is a really interesting character.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I hope my cousins in Japan are okay.

 

[Circa]

I really agree about N. And he's honestly probably my favorite "antagonist" from any Pokemon game.

I wish they would have gone darker with Cheren though. Like

Spoiler

stealing Zekrom/Reshiram from N in a thirst for power and then use it to attempt to destroy the main character and become the most powerful trainer in the world, at which point the epic rivalry battle would take place and you'd win, and then Cheren would be emotionally destroyed and discover the need for balance to become the best other than just power that way

. But this is a kid's game, so of course they wouldn't do that.

 

[Wrath`]

I am getting sick of all these crits, I swear my game has a double Hax rate...


Bianca is annoying, "I'm never any good, daddy I don't wanna stay home, daddy please understand....ung..." At Least Cheren is cool, even if he is power hungry.

EDIT: Whoa not having watched TV I didn't notice the Tsunami, no one at school was even talking about it, my heart is out to all of Japan.

 

[M.K]

I'm going to pray for Japan tonight. The damage is really hard to look at, and I'm sure many families were torn in half during this horrible turn of events.
Hopefully the Japanese government and population can spring back from this nightmare.

Agreed a LOT of good people like us just lost their homes as well as family members or friends today.

Prayers to all of the people out there.

 

[Fuelbi]

Since I'm atheist and I don't pray, I just wish them luck and hope they rebuild well

 

[Wave⁂]

>mfw "This message is hidden because Densebi is on your ignore list."

Again?

 

[Fuelbi]

Problem officer?

 

[The Real Gamer]

Why must you change your name every 2 weeks? IDK wtf to call you anymore dude...

 

[Fuelbi]

Better than other people who change their names about 12-15 times

 

[Wrath`]

Remember the good ol' days of Roacherman?

 

[Fuelbi]

I remember those too

To hell with that

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

I have faith in them. They prepare themselves exceptionally well for earthquakes, and an 8.9 is a sure test of their technology. Many of their buildings, even under the stress of a massive one like that, only swayed in the face of it. They know they live in an area especially susceptible to earthquakes and they've done the best they can. A good side to this is the fact that this will be the best recorded earthquake ever, and they can learn from the nature of this one what to suspect from upcoming ones. I'm pretty certain that Japan will eventually become earthquake proof entirely. The fact that this one was so big is speeding them up.

 

[Fuelbi]

Largest recorded earthquake what?

What about earthquakes like the San Andreas one?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

You're almost halfway there.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Not the largest recorded, the best recorded. XP Japanese equipment is super advanced, yo. We should know that better than most. XD

 

[Fuelbi]

You're almost halfway there.

That's only like 5

I believe you mean only a third of the way there

Not the largest recorded, the best recorded. XP Japanese equipment is super advanced, yo. We should know that better than most. XD

DX I didn't understand what you meant nevermind >_<

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

XD It's alright, you understand now.
