Offensive trainer as well, eh? MY BRETHEREN!

I fight the same way.

As such I [tornado fang]ing hate it when I get Paralyzed, Put to sleep, Poisoned, or Confused. mainly because I have no response to it.

I do have 7.

Nuzlocke or Catching what you use only?

What the heck is a Nuzlocke?  Anyway I breed all my pokemon.

[Sapphire Knight]

Hmm.... It's been half of forever since I rasied something from an egg (togepi doesn't count), I should probably do that.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

^ No longer my bretheren

< Never had any less than 100 registered pokemon

Nuzlocke.

Well thats smart. I'm usually too goddamn lazy. I always catch stronger stuff, And I rarely ever have to switch from my Murderous Feraligatr. Of course, going against a real opponent would get me killed in one hit.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

My friend is attempting to run through FireRed with only his Charmander and all other pokemon as HM slaves exclusively.

Yeah you would and my Feraligatr would probably kick his butt too, no offense.  Not mention I actually learned how to EV train my pokemon too. 

Breeding does take forever even with a Slugma/Macargo or Magby/Magmar/Magmortar, a swarm of Dittos with different natures, and unlimited Everstones because for people who EV train you have to look for specific natures and stuff.  If I was a perfectionist I would of look for strong IVs in certain stats too.  But hey when you somehow get a shiny Torchic that has the nature you were looking for it's worth it.

Wow so he's using 5 pokemon to be HM slaves for 7 HMs.  You know he could avoid this by getting a Lickitung, any Water type, and Flying type since Flash is only good for the Rock Tunnel.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

No point. I mean, he only uses the other 5 as HM slaves. All battling is done by the starter.

Good luck in the Pokemon League his Charizard is going to get murdered by either Loreli, Lance, or Blue.

Aye. Had to Zapdos [twin slasher] those three. It was hell.

[Sakura Leic]

I forgot how I handled them in Leaf Green.  I had a Venusaur, Raichu, Lapras, Nintales, Articuno, and a Eevee...I think.  Anyway I did okay.

EDIT: Yeah I kicked thier ass with a Eevee on my team.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

I had my Charizard and the rest were legendaries and an HM slave.

Charizard (Named Blaze), Mewtwo (Named Psyche), Zapdos (Zap), Articuno (AC), Moltres (Meltdown), and Lapras, (Surfer).

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah except for Leaf Green I never use legendaries.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

I raped with Rayquaza in Emerald. But I was 8. So I really didn't care.

[Clefilicious❣]

I never Nickname my Pokemon, mainly because I have no originality.

I once named a Nidoran (M) NONONONONONO....

I was 6, cut me some slack.

It was better than some of my friends at the time, they named their rival's such immature things...

Emerald wasn't released that long ago...

[Sakura Leic]

Emerald wasn't released that long ago...

Emerald was released in 2005 so if that's correct he's 13-14 now. 

[Clefilicious❣]

Thats what I was thinking.

[Hypershell]

Yeah, it's just the rest of us who are old geezers...

I would think that the worst would be over after Misty, due to how early you face her and the obedience issues with over-leveling your starter that soon.  The later you get in the game, the more over-leveled your lone powerhouse gets, and thus the more likely it can conquer a type disadvantage.  Even with a "balanced" team, your first crack at the Elite Four usually boils down to item abuse anyway (not that the computer doesn't deserve it with their freaking Full Restores).

That's true, I mean I did that in Blue with my Venusaur, but I knew it wasn't right and gave up on Blue.  That and the fact that Psychic types scared me back then since they would be too strong if I trained the normal way since all the Ghosts were part Poison and Bug moves really really sucked back then.  Then again with my knowlegde now I could of murdered them with an Eeveelution or Nintales.

[Hypershell]

I never bought into the whole "Psychics are too powerful" complaints back then.  While it's true that there's no real way to hit them from a type-weakness standpoint (Ghost moves sucked too, regardless of Poison hybrid status), all first-gen Psychics with the exception of Hypno had high Speed but crappy Defense.  You could nail them with a strong physical attacker.  Not a problem for your resident Dragonite nutcase.    Same is true of Ghosts, really, if you're not using Normal/Fighting moves.  Back before the new EV system shot everything to hell, even Zapdos's Drill Peck could ruin them.

These days, pretty much any Type can come with any stat distribution.  In first-gen there were a few trends that you could take advantage of.

'Bout that. Kallen. Sakura was right on spot.

Anywho, Gyarados had been giving me tons of issues in SS, mainly because the ones that caused me trouble (Blue's and Lance's) had a rediculously high Defense stat. And none of the Pokemon I had at the time were very powerful. (This has changed, a Level 74 Feraligatr will tip the scales in my favor, Along with a Level 84 Rayquaza and a few other overpowed legendaries I bring along because I couldn't decently train a team if my life depended on it.)

Hell, i'm just going to do the same thing I did with Emerald and say [tornado fang] that to the Goddamn Battle Frontier.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

Battle Frontier can just GO TO HELL.

1. Because it is pretty much impossible to beat.

2. Because it's because of the Battle Factory that I never got Groudon on my last file. My little brother beat Groudon on my save file because I was gonna catch it next time I got on, then went to the Battle Factory, and you need to save to get in.

Yeah I never used a Gyarados, it takes too much to train it and it's never worth it.  I mean for crying out loud it's a flying type pokemon but it can't learn flying attacks not even Aerial Ace.  Arcanine can learn Aerial Ace no problem but not Gyarados who is a flying type not thanks that just makes him more vunerable for no reason.

So you didn't know that any tournament inside the games demands that you save and you went ahead and saved anyway?  

Honestly I like the Battle Frontier because I stay far far away from the Battle Factory myself and focus on the Battle Castle, Battle Tower, and ocassionally the Battle Arcade.

EDIT: Okay Gyarados can learn Bounce but I would never use Bounce or Fly in a real battle.
