Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
Fair enough... I've really only played three of the gens so far, r/b/y, g/s, and d/p. I was pretty boss with my team back in the Red and Blue days. Charizard, Blastoise, Kabutops, Machamp, Mewtwo, and Dragonite.
I was pretty good at beating folks with my awesome team... I miss those simpler days.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Omni - 09-22-2013
It's not even about the new stuff. I was involved in that scene back in the days of Silver, mostly, and Charizard was regarded as bad then. God knows what kind of insane strategies the kids these days are cooking up with the number of Pokemon there are now.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
It's funny... He was always pretty awesome for me. Especially since half the dual-typed Pokémon have a quad weakness somewhere.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Omni - 09-22-2013
Well, it's not that he's BAD, particularly. He's just mediocre, and in the metagame that's essentially the same as bad. That kind of thing doesn't matter when you're just playing for fun, though.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
His stats are decent, aside from legendaries, of course. If you wanted to really be a bad ass, you just have a team of 6 Arceus which different plates and moves on each of them.

Ganondorf Wrote:Rock is a rarely used move, to be honest, so I don't mind it. The other fire starters get matches with fighting, however, and have a weakness to Psychic... which EVERYBODY uses. I'd rather be weak to Geodude than Mewtwo.
Rock is a rarely used move? Dude it's a more commonly used move typing to counter fire than water is and there is this thing called stealth rock I'd like you to meet.
Stealth Rock is widely accepted to be THE reason Charizard has never been able to be competitive. It shuts all his builds down that hard.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
I'm not a big new gen person, so Stealth Rock isn't really something I know. I went ahead and looked it up. Yeah 50% of max health on switching in rough, unless you already have Charizard out when someone uses that move. Then you just keep him out there.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
Once again, like I said before, if you really wanted a competitive team, you'd just EV Train everything and your fight team would all be Arceus with different moves and plates on.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Nanoha Takamachi - 09-22-2013
It is still, I think, the single worst addition they have made to the game. For a good while the entire meta game was based around getting out or removing stealth rock.
The fact that a single move can move Charizard from Overused to Neverused in smogon's tiers is pretty ridiculous.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
That said, I'm not big into the competitive side of things. I'll take a team of all the same type into a fight because I feel like that's more realistic than someone's super buff Clefairy.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Nanoha Takamachi - 09-22-2013
Arceus is banned in 99% of leagues out there, fyi. Most ban a considerable portion of legendaries, too.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
I'll ban you!
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Nanoha Takamachi - 09-22-2013
Abuse of powers!
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
Now that I've banned Omni, enjoy the new dark age of the Ganonverse.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Nyx - 09-22-2013
OMFG YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I NEED POKEMON X IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW
ever since I found out about the thing that lets you interact with your Pokémon like a virtual pet simulator I've been chomping at the fucking bit seriously
just EVERY TIME I've read something new about X/Y I've been like "HNNNNNGH Y U NO OCTOBER 12TH" and then I die a little inside
will be opting for Fennekin & Squirtle or Bulbasaur as my starters C:
getting a free Torchic won't sway me into picking a grass/water type for my current gen starter because OMG FENNEKIN HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE HER
ahhhhhhhhh dies
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Illidan Stormrage - 09-22-2013
I've never ever been a person who's considered the fire type starter better than the other two, except in gen 3, incidentally. And I'll admit to Ganon, Turtwig is an incredibly close second to Bulbasaur. Torterra being grass/ground type is so good.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
I wasn't big on Bulbasaur. His Poison type's weakness to psychic and ground really put me off.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Blackfire - 09-22-2013
I've chosen a water type in every generation. That will never change.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
Every Gen I've just chosen the one I liked most. Turtwig is a prime example. I like turtles.
Re: Pokemon X/Y - Ganondorf - 09-22-2013
My favorite Pokémon is probably Slaking. Hugely powerful, but can only attack every other turn? I can relate.
