The games are very replayable imo. Currently doing a nuzlocke run in AS, and it's still lots of fun. I could play any of the pokemon games a hundred times over without getting bored.

I'm confused--is this just an idea for a game or a game in actual developmemt? Your thread gives sort of conflicting info

Hi RickyMeister! I'm really interested in your Lotad. In return, I have Vullaby. Nature: Impish Ability: Overcoat IVs: 31/31/31/x/31/31 Egg Moves: Knock Off, Foul Play, Roost

This is obviously a hoax or satirical. I seriously doubt the veracity of the article. It's highly overstating the intent. All of you who are overreacting to this are no better. By the way, the article is linked to http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/, a CONSERVATIVE institution. That being said...

I don't think Deo-D and Deo-S aren't malignancies upon the metagame, but I can't wait for the delicious Aegislash suspect sh*tstorm that will invariably happen. Like Anti said, it's like DPP Latias. I think the arguments by smogon user Halcyon sum up my emotions: Honestly, I'd just love to...

Nerf Scald and nerf Knock Off. Neither moves have good switch-ins, outside of Storm Drain / Water Absorb and physically defensive megas, respectively. Scald's 30% chance is ridiculous. The first part of the equation though is that it's a highly spammable water type move so fire-types that would...

Magneton has 10 more base speed, which makes it (sometimes) better fit for a scarfer role. Magneton was used on one successful #1 BW team a few years ago where the challenge was to use lower-tier Pokemon. I wouldn't recommend using it outside of RU/NU though.

Around 700 hours if you include both X and Y. I missed out on a lot of gameplay time due to exams. When the game first came out, I spent around twelve hours a day playing it. I'm a bit excessive.

As someone who plays a lot of competitive, I've never quite understood the mentality that winning with something like Greninja is "cheap." Protean Greninja is a powerful special attacker, but frail, and against competent players wouldn't be able to 3-0 or 6-0. In VGC, it's not really that great...

It's not too hard. Just open up a hex editor, go the offset: 61156C. And then you should get the data for their teams. You can reference Bulbapedia for the 3rd Gen index numbers of Pokemon and compare them to the brain's team to figure out who they are. For example, the first result you should...

I don't think that having berries hidden in the ground is a bad idea at all if you're hacking FRLG, although there should be areas in which they can respawn. Areas which sell them is also convenient, since you only really need the status, stat, and EV berries. Pokemon holding them is another...

You can actually just patch both the Moemon patch and the Expert Emerald patch over the same rom and it should work fine.

Wow, this is really cool! How far along is the battle system? Do you plan on allowing plug-ins / making it open source and letting people have their own servers, sort of like Pokemon Showdown does? Also, really minor thing at this point, but you should definitely use the DP/BW Fonts for the...

Oh, Gen 6's type chart was a complete failure imo. In trying to displace Dragon they buffed up Ghost to the point where it had only resistance and one immunity (and normal is a horrible type). Arguably, now it's Ghost type that's broken because despite not having a spammable move like Outrage...

How do you feel about changing the type chart in a rom hack to something other than Gen 6? For example some hacks have things like Poison being super effective against Water or even complete overhauls. Is the balance worth the learning curve? Also, I was strongly debating whether or not to nerf...
