ASB Chat Thread - 2015 Edition. Now with improved posts!

No seriously. I ran into one and forced myself to look it up. Hoping it was a ghost. No. Its the psuedo Legendary. WHAT IS THAT!?!? UGH They even made the last hope for respect look like GUNK.


Now where the hell is the sword at?

[Greyfox]

Pseudo-legends shouldn't be mono-typed. It just seems... wrong, given all the others. The Honedge line doesn't have high enough stats to be considered one though. :/

[DarkestLight]

No. I mean I don't know where the sword is hiding at, and I kinda wanna find it.

Hell, I didn't find any of the ghosts...maybe I'm not there yet?

[Greyfox]

Right, I was just musing about what should have been.

Greninja though -- he's gonna be aces. His dream world ability gives him STAB on every attack.

[Underscore]

Darn, I should have gotten a Goomy at the giveaway.

Greninja's hidden ability seems to OP imo compared to the other's starters abilities, Bulletproof and Magician. I wonder how TPM would interpret the effects of Magician. :3

[Kumori]

There are tons of Goomies in the swamp where the creepy house is.
Goomy is one of my favourite Pokémon of this generation :3

[Ayeun]

I passed 700 bajillionty swords on the way to the first major town, just after the first badge, just after the second badge, outside the cave with the mirrors...

They are god damned everywhere!

[RaZoR LeAf]

I think I am one of the few people not playing XY. I want to see movepools and attack info before choosing new pokemon. I hope someone gets them up before then deadline.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Greninja though -- he's gonna be aces. His dream world ability gives him STAB on every attack.

And this is why I chose that ability for my Froakie

[BTPoke]

if you still can't find it, it's in the tall grass before that big-as-heck mansion. can't remember if it's the right or left side, tho.

[Rossymore]

Yeah, you can find Honedge on Route 6, by going down any of the side paths by the Parfum Palace. They're somewhat rare, but you should find one eventually. And Goomy, while somewhat disappointing, is really cute and is a fine Dragon type. They get better, they always do.
Man I wish I had this game...

[Kumori]

Ugh, I can't catch a Goomy to save my life but I really want one. Any advice?

[Knight of Time]

I think I am one of the few people not playing XY. I want to see movepools and attack info before choosing new pokemon. I hope someone gets them up before then deadline.

I'm with you totally on this, RaZoR LeAf...while it would have been nice to go with the alternative of choosing at least one XY Pokemon in the giveaway (instead of the ability swaps I went with), the one thing that has me bothered is that although it's still fairly early into the new generation, there still isn't a whole lot of reliable information for movepools and stuff (for example, I noticed on Serebii that the movepool information for the older Pokemon is seemingly not going to be available until December 25 aka Christmas, which IMO is just a little on the uncool side; I mean, why should we have to wait until Christmas to get major information on the two newest Pokemon games when they are already out? That just doesn't make sense)...but it looks like they (Serebii) may have this information up by this upcoming weekend.

I'm crossing my fingers for a flood of confirmed information.

[Kumori]

The thing is, X and Y are encrypted so it's nightmarish for all these sites to try and get things running. Don't blame them.

[DarkestLight]

Oh hell. I'm at victory road. I'm not leveling it up now. I'll just make it a point to train one legit. As for the frog, too much work to get that about in game.

Almost trading time. Moves and stats are up though RL. Someone copied the book, so adjustments will be made. But the bulk is available now.

[Kumori]

I've beaten the game already, DL. 2 days ago, I think. The E4's a pushover.

[DarkestLight]

I would have been done if I didn't have to party Saturday and Sunday night. Tonight I'll have the e4 done and ill start ev/moveset testing/pokedex completion of the new ones only.

[Kumori]

Ah, I see. I happen to be on holiday and had a clear few days to play.

[DarkestLight]

Yeah see I have no free time or else I would be pushing through movesets and battle testing.

[RaZoR LeAf]

The thing is, X and Y are encrypted so it's nightmarish for all these sites to try and get things running. Don't blame them.

Don't get me wrong, I don't blame anyone for not having the information I want. I know we've always been used to the game having been out for 6 months in Japan and just waiting on translations, whereas now everyone has it at the same time. It's juyst, the majority of people are all playing it at the same time. So I'd have hoped for someone to be focusing on the details of the pokemon, rather than on what they can do after they beat the elite four, or what the blonde haired NPC does at 5:05pm on a Thursday if you have a green pie in your bag (or something?).

Moves and stats are up though RL. Someone copied the book, so adjustments will be made. But the bulk is available now.

Let me know where. I've tried five of the big sites and seen nothing.

[Ash0011]

I checked serebii and bulbapedia and neither of them have much info in the way of moves, my favorite pokes so far right now though are Chesnaught, Greninja, Aegislash, Tyrantrum, and Zygarde

[DarkestLight]

Smogon is building up the movesets pretty fast , and Im looking for that damn site that put the book up.

[DarkestLight]

Whoa! She gave me a frog! I just need the fox now :O

[Kumori]

Yeah, I'm missing a Chespin... except I hate Chespin so I'm not getting one. Chespin is one ugly little Poké. Goomy ftw!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I got a text message that my copy is finally in the store. Saved my day.

[Ash0011]

Yeah, I'm missing a Chespin... except I hate Chespin so I'm not getting one. Chespin is one ugly little Poké. Goomy ftw!

yes but have you seen its dreamworld ability? its incredibly powerful (if it does what I think it does)

[Kumori]

I choose my Pokés based on looks or my liking of them, not their power.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Hi Kumori! Remember the signature deal? Would you mind if I post a thread of its own for it on FanArt? There we could discuss its contents and even other TPMers could post their opinions if they wish. Or am I taking this too seriously?

[Kumori]

Damn, I haven't done a sig in forever. I'd probably fail it.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

No you wouldn't. I'm sure you can do it.

But I can go with something else, too, if you find it difficult. Anyhow, ASB chat thread isn't for that. Perhaps.

[Kumori]

No, but when I haven't done something for a long time, I HONESTLY CAN'T DO IT PROPERLY when I try again.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Trick Or Treat

I love this.

[Techy]

"The user takes the target trick-or-treating"

During a Pokemon Battle?

[RaZoR LeAf]

"The user takes the target trick-or-treating"

During a Pokemon Battle?

A little more child-friendly than "the user takes the target to the back seats of the cinema and give them cigarettes in exchange for 'favours' in the dark. The target gains the ghost type in shame."

[DarkestLight]

XD. I'm still trying to figure out if it takes over Primary or Secondary type though...Speaking of.."Update time"

[Greyfox]

Neither. According to Serebii, it just *adds* the Ghost-typing to your pokémon, potentially giving them three types.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Looks like there's a similar move called 'Forest Curse' that adds a Grass type. So you could potentially end up up with an opponent having four types? And then factor in an attack that is actually a Fighting/Flying type too, and you've got damage calculations to make your eyes bleed.

[CaptainJigglypuff]

Anyone know the times it rains on the routes so I can evolve Sliggoo into Goodra? Goomy's type surprised me since I thought it'd be Poison with Goodra being Poison/Dragon. I was VERY surprised to see Dralage as that typing.

[DarkestLight]

wait what? It has to RAIN to evolve? Oh good grief!

[Emerald_Gen.3]

wait what? It has to RAIN to evolve? Oh good grief!

Just think, for Inkay to evolve into Malamar you have to turn your 3DS upside down when it's leveling up after level 30 (Might be after a later level though)
