The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

The only thing that bothers me about it is the fact it's so fucking mainstream now, lots of people play it because the others do it, most of them don't even know shit about pokemon, basic facts like that fire is effective for grass or ground for poison.

Lol, so I guess there are elitists even in the world of children's entertainment.

^I share your elitism. It pisses me off when people don't have an appreciation for selective breeding too. Like bitch why the fuck do you have four of the same Pokemon right now, transfer that shit and just level up one.

Or the people with multiple vaporeons. Fucking transfer them and use the candy to get another eevolution.
 
So I forgot my keys and easily broke into my own house. Despite being too short to reach the window there was a conveniently placed chair in the yard that I used. Not to mention my sister's screen for her window was broken.... I suppose we need to invest in bars for the bottom Windows because that was way too easy.
 
The new one for phones is super watered down and only fun because of the social aspect. The main series ones are more like strategy RPGs, but there's no tactical movement or deep story like ff tactics. There is some depth as far as types (paper rock scissors gone wild) and breeding though.

It's a turn-based RPG game where you can assemble a team of up to six monsters and battle NPCs or other human players. Most battles are fought by one monster at a time on either side, but the newer games have double and triple battles as well.

Every monster has one or two elemental types associated with them that determine their strengths and weaknesses, in addition to each monster learning different moves and having a different stat spread. Sometimes they can evolve into a stronger monster when they get enough experience points or under other circumstances.

Basically, you play as someone who wants to be the best trainer and collect badges and beat the elite trainers of your region.

Looks like i'll have to check some of the older ones out. Newest Nintendo console/handheld i have is the original Wii, so ill probably have to go with something that plays on that.

edit: oh, and for some lulz ...

Or get glass block. It'll look nicer.

To be fair, Vaporeon is pretty fucking powerful and only has two weaknesses on the app. The game is annoying to me. Not sure how much longer I'm going to continue. The fact that your Pokemon' attacks can be rerolled when they evolve is an awful mechanic. There's literally no way to know if you have a good Pokemon or not...and what's up with Pokemon like Venomoth having unchangeable off type attacks? Is STAB a thing in this game btw? I have no idea...

Competitive Pokemon is pretty wild. Depends on strategy and prediction. I'd suggest an online emulator other than actually doing it in game because the breeding and move availability plus a fuckton of Pokemon can be a pretty big headache.

We can have a random battle on pokemon showdown. What do you think, Krow?
