Pokemon Umbral Theatre 22: I can't think of a title - Page 15

Don't be mean to him. If he likes to read, let him read. Welcome the Nuklear Power, gekkogo. Enjoy the...ah heh...shenanigans.

Judging from Dracorion's latest post, it seems he's at least okay with me assuming that dreaded GM role Sunday night.

As for the pictures, I've already crawled through, like, 250 pages of gelbooru. People sure like Skyla.

I should have crawled through like 250 more by Sunday morning and then send that stuff off to Menarker.

I don't blame them! Seriously, she's up there with May as my favorite canon pokegirl even though I have yet to play the games in which she appear.

I'll deal with the pics as soon as I'm able. Also found a few I liked from elsewhere that gave me a chuckle or two.

Count yourself lucky. Black and White's experience system is a major pain and makes any kind of grinding a chore, which really drags down the game.

I love leveling Pokemon and creating a dream team of my very favorites, but that shitty experience system has taken what I like so much and ruined it.

Honestly, I thought this exp system was faster than the old ones. Felt a bit like less of a chore.

No, I'm not.

But I can't really stop you.

And Bard, AB doesn't murder Audinos for level ups. Which is why grinding is a chore for him.

Menarker · 04-16-2011, 11:35 AM

Well, the trouble with THAT is that your team becomes more ineffectual in the long run if you do Audino training before you finish your EV training. (Unless the EVs that Audino give are the ones you specifically need)

So you still need to do roughly 255 fights of specific pokemons that give out the right EVs, unless you're late in the game enough to have gotten the items that change the EVs that you get to the ones you want.

Dracorion · 04-16-2011, 11:37 AM

Menarker, not everyone cares about EV training.

And by not everyone I mean just you.

Menarker · 04-16-2011, 11:39 AM

I imagine you probably don't care about nature too.

>_> My little sis borrowed my game (I allowed her to delete my file and start fresh) and she took a Chimchar that was Gentle nature (Penalty to its physical attack stat which is Chimchar's main selling point). I kinda nudge her to suggest resetting and trying again since it would grow to be 10% less effective than a standard Chimchar and 20% worse than one with a boost to Attack... I doubt she listened though.

But tons of people on the internet seem to care given the discussion about EVs and IVs and natures and move-sets and breeding and whatnot. :3

Bard The 5th LW · 04-16-2011, 11:48 AM

Meh. I give natures a look over, but I think that EVs sorta takes away from some of the freedom.

ANd I have killed like 3 Audinos max.

Menarker · 04-16-2011, 11:53 AM

Well, even breeding for nature and abilities is a real pain in the ass is a pain in the ass. I made 300+ Skorpi eggs to find one with Adamant Nature and Sniper ability before... Several hours running my bike up and down the path, carrying 1 pokemon and 5 eggs in a manner that in real life should have battered them to omelets in the crazed bike-riding spree I was doing...
