Anyone ever think about how stupid the elite 4 challenge is? Think about it without the in game item mechanics you and your team would have to be stronger than the 5 strongest trainers in the region COMBINED just to have a chance! (that or have ridiculous luck and/or unfair type advantages) that means that each new champion would have the strength of......wait a second let me start over. lets say theres only an elite 4 and no champion. When someone become the champion they essentially have the strength of 4 elite 4 members combined. now move on to THAT champion being beaten. that would mean that the new champion would theoretically have to have the strength of 8 elite four members. This cycle would keep going on until eventually the new champ cannot be beaten. after many years the champ would die or resign. thus starting the cycle over again.

That.. does make sense, but also that might be affected by the fact that most trainers restart each region. Most of the time, each trainer can barely defeat the current champ. Most of us use our fair share of battle items, so I think that's kinda... We might be stronger than them, or just have a lot of Revives on hand, but I don't think there's a power difference big enough to warrant any champion being as strong as eight Elite 4 members. O: Maybe if someone were to take their old team into lots of new region and completely dominate??

idk.. that's kind of interesting to ponder...

THAT ASIDE.

Welcome to PC, guys!

huh. Never thought of it that way. So what you're saying is that each champ gets a new team for each generation of trainers? Forgive me if I don't understand.

I don't like the current system as well, Would love it more if they had a tournament style of endgame, where after beating the other people who have 8 badges, you then get to challenge the elite Four + champion.
But the champion being stronger than the elite four sound fair, since (I think) the elite four can challenge the Champion as well for his/her spot.

Hey there everybody ^^ Sorry to just bust into the conversation that was going on.

I just wanted to see how everyone has been and up to? I assume probably every Sun and Moon questions were asked already, so I am just not going to start with one. And was just wondering if anyone is doing anything this summer? ^^

And again sorry if this is a stupid post heh.

No posts here are stupid; no worries~!

I'm okay myself. Been reading all about the new Sun and Moon info! As for the summer, nothing really planned... just working. </3 How about you? o:

Oh wow, thought I wouldn't get that quickly a response.

I am just sitting in the heat of the summer. Somehow since 2007, Central Europe always gets hit with these heat waves in summer ^ ^ .And trying to find a job to do for a while till I get a real one. Like a small job to earn some money while looking for an actual one. Also going to the city and watching the European Football Cup games in a bar. Somehow I am the only who is not drinking beer but cola in those bars heh.

Regarding Sun and Moon it is the same as ORAS for me, somehow I don't get that hyped anymore. Maybe I've become cyncial while becoming older? : P

All I would like to say is....Yungoos is gonna be the one Pokemon guaranteed to be on every single one of my teams I play with in Alola, a la Swellow in Hoenn.

Yungoos surely has overpowered abilities, but Pikipek seems to be the newbie I'm loving at the moment. If that thing's final evolution has Talonflame or Staraptor-esque stats I may actually consider the bird.

Those abilities are actually not the main reason for my liking Yungoos. I actually like its design, a first for me when it comes to the early route rodents.

I will like Pikipek a lot more as long as it changes typing like Fletchling. I really don't want to another Normal/Flying type. The Grass/Flying typing would be pretty cool and has some pretty good reason for believing in it due to Pikipek's widespread speculation that it can use Bullet Seed. (Or has it been confirmed it can learn it? I can't quite remember)

I think Peck is only what we know about, since a wild Pikipek KO'd the player's Popplio in the E3 livestream. Learning Bullet Seed won't just be a way to benefit Skill Link but it also fits with its description on the official website, just can't see the evolutions changing types though.

I like Yungoos too, the design seems fun and cute to me ^^
But I like the bird too. I didn't check the stats, since I am more a casual player : P So I don't really watch much on stats heh. Starraptor was my favourite early route Bird evo so far. So I am excited to see to what the bird evolves.

Well after careful consideration I've figured out the mistake that I made about the elite 4 challenge. I realized that you only need to be strong enough to beat an elite 4 member without too much damage. Like if you were twice as strong as an elite 4 member you'd probably sweep right through the elite 4. This was an incredibly stupid thing to not realize and truthfully I am embarrassed...........well enough with the mushy stuff. I can't seem to get notifications about this thread unless someone quotes me........anyone know how to fix that?

Pikipek is adorable. I like Fletchling a lot too but Pikipek clicks so much more, its head/body has more definition than Fletchling which I like more and the hair tuft is too cute. Hopefully what it evolves into will be just as nice. =o

No weekend plans for me, unless you count video games and anime. Hee hee. S'all I need this and most other weekends. 8D

Yeah, I don't got any plans for the weekend either. Since it's summer now I literally have zero responsibilities. I'm only keeping up with two anime series right now (JoJo: Diamond is Unbreakable and Ace Attorney) so I'm not really watching much unless I go on a small Pokémon marathon or something.

Also, Pikipek might be adorable, but Iwanko is pretty much the best thing ever. Except for Rowlet I guess. Rowlet is the bestest thing ever.

Video games and anime sounds like a pretty perfect weekend!

I like Pikipek's design, it stands out from the previous early route birds. Iwanko is neat, I like the rock typing! Either it or Nekkoara are my faves out of the non-starters revealed so far. Not sure for how long there'll be space for them on my team though!
