Everyone will find real people harder than not in games like this.

Sableye has no weaknesses... and no strengths. Low attack and special attack, slow, not that great of HP - basically, it needs an evolution to become useful.

Wonderguard Sableye :V

[Verloren]

No such thing exists.

In 4th Gen, Fire Fang bypasses Wonderguard regardless of weaknesses

Which makes chomp even more uber

EDIT: HELL YEAH JOHTO GYM LEADER CASTLE R2 CLEAR.
Only on my second attempt :V

I've recorded all of the E4 fights....I gotta admit, I haxed a bit on Lance thanks to getting a freeze on Aerodactyl.

We forgive you.

After all, Lance always cheats.  :V

(Funfact: You are not supposed to have a Dragonite at the level he has it in 1st Gen. I think he also pulls some tricky shenanigans in 2nd Gen., but I forget what it is. >_>)

The lv47 Dragonites were actually 2nd gen and he has a Rock Slide Aerodactyl in 2nd gen too.

And my Typhlosion almost took out Dragonite by himself. Too bad that Protect vs Hyper Beam doesn't force a recharge.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Dragonair evolves at level 55, so his first one was high enough in level, IIRC. His Dragonite knows Barrier though, which it can't get.

It's gen 2 where they're under the correct level. And I think his Aerodactyl had a move it couldn't get.

Ah, right, thank-you.

So yeah, The Computer Is a Cheating [CENSORED]. (Warning, link leads to TVTropes, etc. etc.)

In other news, has anyone here ever heard of "Gastrobuffet"?

[Rikter]

Gah I hate breeding for Natures...

Anyways no I need to get a Macho Brace wherever that thing is.

[Nine West]

Even then, Nintendo can deliberately screw it up by changing the type combination. Yeah.

I think you can find one in FireRed/LeafGreen by using the Itemfinder where Giovanni was in the Pewter City Gym.

I think.

EDIT: OK, just found out how you get it in D/P/Pt and R/S/E. D/P you get it from a boy in Pastoria by showing him all 3 forms of Burmy, Pt from the same boy but show him both genders of Combee, and in R/S/E beat the Winstrate family to get one.

[Rikter]

I guess i'll get the one from emerald then and transer it over tomorrow.

Also Scyther is even more annoying to get with a good nature due to also needing tecnician.

[Bananamatic]

Champion battle :V
Who says that you need a full team?
Tell me the last time you've seen a Typhlosion mess up a Dragonite that badly.
Guess that Nintendo making him Hyper Beam themed actually made him weaker since it's a junk move(unless you have a Slaking).

Feels damn good after owning the game for over 7 years and raging many, many times over R2.

[M. Burusu]

Try an Adamant Ditto with an Everstone (if you haven't already). Transfers the Adamant nature to the child with decent success rate.

Unfortunately, that just leaves Technician and I sympathize with you over that sort of agony my god that is horrible. (Had to breed a Shinx with good nature and Intimidate for my electric team, same brand of horrible.)

[Rikter]

Bleh I guess a massive ammount of Ditto with varying natures would be a bigger help in the long run. Seeing as I have an everstone on my Emerald game.

Oh a brave Scyther thats Close enough for me.

[Generalguy]

You're doing a low level game or some shit? I had level 60 Pokemon by then so *shrug*

I'm a powerleveller by nature, so our stances are wildly different. I have a greater challenge facing real people than I ever will playing against a game.

Yes, low-level challenge. I did this because I couldn't find the Kaizo Pokemon patch anywhere and decided to try replicating it in the original game.
What I like about it is that I don't need to train at all. No need to breed, or care about EVs, IVs, or natures. And yes, the AI is stupid. I would never have cleared the 7th Gym if the AI didn't see my Crobat and thought "Super-effective OMG! KILL! KILL! KILL!", even though anybody hit by Psychic is OHKOed, which allowed me to use Protect and put them to sleep with Vigoroth.
Like this
The battles can get pretty long though, long enough for the time limit to really piss me off.

EDIT: Oh, use Sableye. He has got no weakness.

Thought about it, but he has crappy stats with a crappy moveset. He can make Brawly incredibly easy, so of course I didn't use him there. I made Watson's Voltorb use Self-Destruct against him though. It was awesome.

[Rikter]

Awesome I got an Impish/Sturdy Skarmory on my second try. I am quite happy.

[Bananamatic]

What the hell. Round 2 Lt. Surge.
Tauros takes out Quagsire easily, then Porygon2 outspeeds him with the Quick Claw AND crits with Psychic.
Next, Typhlosion. He gets frozen by Tri-Attack so Porygon gets an extra turn.
Last, Jolteon. Typhlosion would survive a TBolt most likely if only Porygon wouldn't freeze him, so I take out Lapras and he just crits him with TBolt. OHKO.

That amount of cheating almost made me laugh :V

Sometimes the game just seem to get stuck on the same RNG all the time. Once, I criticaled all five hits of Bullet Seed. And with Confusion, often it doesn't have any effect, or you hit yourself nonstop.
And if Psychic criticals, the opponent is confused almost every time. That's what I've observed anyway.

You know, I kind of like it better when it's the RNG [cheating] that kills me than when some players take the RNG out of the picture and do the exact same thing.

Smeargle with Lock-On and Sheer Cold, once you've experienced it first-hand you will know what I mean.

[Prody]

Taunt and priority moves pretty much screw Smeragle up.

If it doesn't have focus sash, then everything that's faster than Smeragle screws it up.

True, but it doesn't mean it isn't annoying as all hell when you first run into it and realize just how cheap that little so-and-so really is.

[Verloren]

All Smeargle team > you

[jigglyppuff8]

All Smeargle team > you

Species clause :V

Also, starting on a Normal Monotype Silver challenge. I already got a Sentret, Spearow, and Jigglypuff and am about to face Falkner. Pretty easy so far.

[Rikter]

I hatched a good natured Chansey with Natural Cure this morning. I'll need to begin EV Training it soon.

[Generalguy]

Emerald's AI is kind. It let me win.

"Let's see... I'm on my last Pokemon, with 1 HP left, and I'm afflicted with Curse. I'm paralyzed, and I've spammed Double Team nonstop in the first six turns. Kingdra has Rest in his moveset and is holding a SleepCure berry (forgot the name). What do I do now? I know! Ice Beam Water Pulse!"

If Kingdra had used Rest, I was almost certain to lose. Almost impossible to hit Kingdra, he's faster than my Crobat, and he'd just have to Rest again whenever Curse got close to killing him.

Luvdisk is ANNOYING. Sweet Kiss + Attract + Water Pulse that can confuse me three times in a row... He's not hard to beat, but I don't want the fight to last over 20 minutes.

And yeah, Kingdra spamming Double Team pissed me off. Thankfully, you can suicide with Curse (instead of the move failing), and it seems to accuracy/evasion, but I'm not sure.
