Thread question: are there any Pokémon related holiday traditions that you do for Christmas?
>>58721952I have been playing Heart and Soul I saw from a romhack thread here a couple weeks ago, was originally going to nuzlocke but with early houndour and larvitar I decided to do monodark, restrictions on found items only and level cap. Just cleared the radio tower and finally got Sneasel for my 5th teammate. Does anyone know if it's possible to get Carvanha or Seedot anywhere else before Kanto in this hack? I found a website that lists encounters but it is inaccurate.Running Houndoom, Pupitar, Umbreon, Honchkrow and soon Weavile before taking on gym 8.
>>58713879Tried using Alolan Dugtrio, and it died to a Muk's Fire Punch I wasn't expecting it to have.So much for that.
It's gonna be difficult to keep a thread up in the wake of the DLC release.
>>58723034It doesn't feel quite as bad as new releases usually are. Usually it's straight to page 9 in an hour or so, but maybe the hype has worn off quicker than usual.
>>58722270That depends on what the hack is. What's the name of it, or is it actually called Heart and Soul?
>>58724356It's called Heart and Soul. It's HGSS in emerald with some gen IV shit and QoL.I wanted a 6th team member before heading into the E4 but I doubt it will happen. At least I will get my ttar soon.
>>58723659True, it sounds like there isn't actually much to it. In any case, I'm gonna grind for BP before tackling Olivia.
Wattson down because Marshtomp obviously clears himWhich is good because my only other team member worth noting right now would have got rocked
Had an urge to play BD for some reason but I know doing a nuzlocke's just going to end up being the same starly/shinx etc for the first half of the game so I've decided (since I picked chimchar) to only use mons who can learn flamethrower
>>58724377Would it be the following?https://pokemonheartsoul.com/pokemon-locations-wild-encounters/Because I feel like it was too easy for you to not have found. I did find a link to a Google doc, but I think it's the same data that's on this website.>>58725116Cool, a Chimchar solo run!
>>58725428>Cool, a Chimchar solo runAre you forgetting Kanto mon movepools? I've already got a machop & geodude (didn't catch because fuck geodude) who can learn it+ there's plenty of other cunts like skuntank etc
Flannery killed my Solrock which I'm pissed about, I was looking forward to using him
>>58725509Nah, i'm snarking about Sinnoh's lack of Fire types.
>>58726075She's a difficult foght even with Marshtomp, only losing one mon is a good run.
>>58724635How different does Mantine Surf make the Alola early game?
>>58728408The best move tutors are in the postgame (naturally), but it does give you some extra options to work with. BP can also be used for prizes at the Battle Royal Dome, if you're allowing yourself to use them.
>>58726075You just gave me a great idea for a team that I think would work well in a gen 6 romhack. The only question is whether I want to play XY or ORAS......maybe XY because of Z-A
After accidentally levelling Eevee too high and losing out on his first stab move on evolution I decided to box him for now. My only legal encounter on route 4 was Trubbish, and since I ended up catching one outside Nimbasa I caught the Mandibuzz instead. Giving the player a Mandibuzz/Braviary to use before the endgame is one of the most overlooked neat little things in BW2. Those 2 are way too mediocre to evolve at level 54, no idea what they were thinking.I also got one of my favourite pokemon of Gen 5 in the desert resort, which I then promptly wasted in a double battle against two Scrafty. I genuinely expected it to just oneshot both with an Air Cutter, instead I got a Revenge to the face. Lost my motivation to play for a few days from that but it is what it is. Not sure if Trubbish is gonna be a placeholder or an actual teammember yet.Oh yeah and Heavy swept the gym after one Hone Claws, then evolved from all the XP. Team's full of heavy hitters now.>>58726075Emerald Flannery is one of the toughest gym fights in the franchise imo. Overheat in the sun will just melt even the tankiest stuff at that point in the game. Don't think I've ever cleared it without a loss.>>58725116Sounds like a fun run. Flamethrower is one of those moves that is learnt by some absolutely insane things. I remember fucking Geodude and Machop get it. Gen 1 was wild.>>58722152Not anymore but I remember we always used to play pokemon coloseum on our cousin's N64 when we went to their place for christmas growing up. I remember how mindblowing seeing pokemon in 3d games was, good times.
>>58729081Ouch. Sigilyph is a rough loss, especially with BW2's TM selection. I believe moves that hit more than one target in double battles have their damage adjusted to compensate, kinda shocked that it fell to a Revenge with its double resistance.
>>58725428>Would it be the following?Yeah it was that website I found, I already ended up beating the E4 and got my Sharpedo and Shiftry but the site is not entirely accurate as I have found fossil mons as wild encounters so unsure what else was possible to find preE4. I do wonder if some pokemon are available that aren't listed either but I haven't found any yet. I definitely would have failed a nuzlocke of this hack though, especially if I totally limited items like I usually do.
>>58729885>moves that hit more than one target in double battles have their damage adjusted to compensate, True, but it's a drop of 25% so I still expected it to kill. I think I just underestimated how bulky Scraggy is.>kinda shocked that it fell to a Revenge with its double resistance.That's because I confused Payback with Revenge, whoops.
page 9 bump!
p-page 9 bump...?!
>>58730197Figured it would be, but I still wanted to be sure.>>58730308Ah. Yeah Payback would do get the kill. Scraggy does have good bulk for a base stage too.
