Category 5 Hurricane Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 I actually had the Pokemon Stadium version of the battle theme in my head at work today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some of the N64 pokemon games before I had any gameboy games, oddly enough. Also, I'd be down for fighting Irish. I'm not sure I'd win, but I'd at least stand a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Also something I found. A site where you can battle with teams of 6, any generation, though unfortunately they impose a variety of rules because they're all "competitive". https://pokemonshowdown.com/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRAYDO Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Oh hey, my friends play that! I have an account as well, FRAYDO, but my team is not complete. I only registered my name and got two Pokémon ready lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Sunflower and I did a few battles last night. I'm not happy with some of the rules there, like for instance having Dig on a Charmander is banned... Maybe Dig is banned in general, because it causes auto-miss on a turn and that's against their competitive rules. Dig is one of my favorite moves, so that's a shame. Overall it's pretty fun though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeP47 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 One comment on the current setup. As much as one can have a scum read this game, Irish is still there, so really, I'll fight him (Though I only would give myself "decent" odds of beating him, assuming his pokemon is a known quantity). I know however it has been proposed we spread out who's fighting to keep everyone roughly the same level, and thus myself vs Killing You would fit that mold pretty well. Even though we don't know what Killing You has, I'd still rate myself a decent shot there. Unless someone has an alternative, that's what we should be discussing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade939 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 In all fairness, you really will need items to give you the competitive edge in fights, so I’m not certain anyone could realistically beat Irish at the moment... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point. Maybe I will prefer facing Killing_You and taking my chances with whatever he has randomly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Category 5 would stand the best chance out of anyone here, but he’d want something that could take out a Snorlax before he should even consider that matchup at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply have a strong pokemon. I do have something that can deal with snorlax, but not for some time. If Irish is a problem late game I can help on that front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we’ll have to see what happens, but considering it takes three battles at a minimum to eliminate one player, it’s probably a safe bet that everyone could still be present for the late game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 The Pokemon I have as my primary might actually be well suited to taking on a Snorlax. I would have to calculate expected damage values to be sure, which I can do in about 12 hours when I'm home from work. I know that if I had picked any of the others as my primary, I wouldn't be very confident. That said, I shouldn't be in much better position than anyone else who may have picked a Pokemon that would have an advantage over a Snorlax. It's not like winning a single battle gives you an incredible advantage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 That also said, because Snorlax is a one stage pokemon, it's not like we have to worry about him getting stronger late game through evolution, and he already has the items. He's just as big a deal now as he will be then, but the counter is that given enough time more of us will have evolved counters, so putting him off till later might actually be the wiser move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 The Pokemon I would be sending against him also doesn't evolve, though one of my other Pokemon would be even better suited to taking on a Snorlax if I bought it a TM to use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the real question is 'Is Snorlax enough of a threat to warrant it?'. My current thinking is no. The other side of the balance is spreading out items equally to people like KY and me who don't have any yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorlax is a big force, and it's been demonstrated you're willing to use it for your own ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Though I will say, given Cat 5's defense of you yesterday, I'm kind of surprised how he's willing to go along now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 I'm not actually particularly eager to fight you, I'm just saying I think I could win. I am getting a slight scummy read from you, though, given that you were eager to "prove" yourself town when I don't think you could have proven anything even if the game mechanics worked as you thought they did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIrishman Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Is he really that scary? Also, why are you guys assuming that I still have Snorlax as my main? I have 5 other picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine anything else you have (barring type advantage calculations) giving me as much trouble as snorlax. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game mechanics worked like I thought, I could've healed Snorlax and then battled with him the next day. From my understanding at the time, Team Rocket would've been unable to heal. Therefore I'm not Scum. Pretty simple logic, and it would've limited our suspect pool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted there's one that I want to reroll since I wasn't paying enough attention when I picked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIrishman Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 So...does anybody else think we should move the day phase to 24 hours instead of 48? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future, we potentially might need longer debate. Plus some people aren't able to check every day right now. I know a few have good excuses too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
