Jumping on the Pokemon Bandwagon! But this time... JOHTO.

Only if we teach it a non-ghost move that actually deals damage, since ghost moves don't affect normal pokemon either. If memory serves, most of Whitney's pokemon are also equipped with rollout, which is a rock move and will hit Gastly anyway.

You should definitely wait until the night to get a gastly if you don't mind waiting since there's no harm in having a ghost pokemon.

[Great Cartoonist]

<My personal opinion is that you should get Gastly as early as possible. Gastly's final form, Gengar, can become one of the best Ghost pokemon in your roster; however, you should not focus on giving it ghost moves, since ghost is considered physical pre-Gen IV and the Gengar line has a mediocre attack stat compared to their astounding special attack stat. Gengar's base speed of 110 also allows it to get the first hit on most of your opponents, and with a base special attack of 130, the first hit would probably be all you need. Gastly's stats are similar, only less, of course, because it's a pre-evolved form.
Still, at this stage of the game you shouldn't worry about not having any special attack moves yet. Try switching it out after having another pokemon use spikes, because Gastly's Ghost-type prevents Rapid Spin from working.
Once you get into the late-game, try to teach a Gengar Thunderbolt and Ice Punch. This will guarantee that you will be able to hit (almost) every pokemon for at least normal damage. Also, give it Hypnosis, because sleep is always good.
Be wary of Gengar's below-average defenses, though. A simple Earthquake could be able to shut it down at full health. I'll probably demonstrate that later when I fight them myself.

Oh, and I got all this from smogon.com. Yes I know they're a bunch of frigging elitists, but they have their Pokemon battling down pat.

Also, Gengar's epic RAPEFACE.>

Right. I've attempted to post this update three goddamn times now. Each time, my laptop has frozen. To make up for the lateness though, have a double length update!kinda sorta

Episode Six: Dammit Joey. Dammit.

Right, all healed. TO SPROUT TOWER!

Well, first to the Pokemart, then to Sprout Tower.

There we go. Dear Mew I hope that wasn't a euphemism.

Oh, BELLsprout Tower. That makes sense. In a stupid, stupid way.

Oh sweet zombie Arceus, it was a euphemism. :gonk:

You're disgusting.

Treasure. you say?

Why is that dude spinning?

:gonk: DAAAH!

Crap! Lethy's gonna be useless for this one.

It's cool. Jackie's got this.

Bollocks.

Yay! Now to catch it.

Dammit Jackie. I'm sure I'll find another one though.





:shifty:









:shifty:



:shifty:



Healed up. Training time.

Eh. Why not.

Doo-doo-doo-doo!

That would help explain how they managed to build a tower around one. :shifty:

Why no, I'm not a nerd. Why do you ask?

I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed by the sudden timeshift, or you calling me again.

Sure, why not.

It's looking stupid. Like you.

I wish you'd fall off a cliff.

I don't care if it belongs to Blue Motherfucking Oak, it's a Pidgey. It's not tough.

You need to stop bloody calling me.

I hope not.

dammit

Print is dead. Much like you.

Just some quick switching around...

Some mostly offscreen leveling...

Precisely what the cock is that thing? :gonk:

OH RIGHT IT'S MINE.

What? It's small and it has a drill. They can't all be genius.

After some more leveling...

I totally didn't forget what I was doing and go to the Gym instead of the tower. Nope.

One Pokemon? This hardly seems fair.

What the cock is that thing? :gonk:

Good job Lethy. that thing was giving me the creeps

Fourscore and twenty seconds ago, I kicked yo' ass.

So hey. Um. Go to hell.

I disliked Guts. His level was always a pain. Not as bad as Iceman though.

I can't even tell if it's night or day right now.

Bring it.

tee hee rod is slang for penis

Success!

Double success!

What? Oh, that? That's just Egon. She's harmless. y'know, cause both of your pokemon are normal type.

Fair enough. I'm sure he'll have something far more threatening than a Pidgey at least. Maybe a Skarmory. Or an Articuno.

Oh dear. An emo kid.

Yeah, I figured that much out myself, thanks.

No, they say you can electrocute bird Pokemon's wings with a jolt of electricity. You're mixing your metaphors.

I... how was that insulting birds?

And they're called FLYING types, by the way.

BOSS BATTLE.
TokenASSHAT vs. EMO BIRD DUDE.

Oh no. A Pidgey. Whatever will I do.

I'm assuming he's packing a little more heat than just a level seven Pidgey, so I might as well use A CUNNING STRATEGYRage over and over.

Yeah, like that.

That's a little better than a Pidgey, I guess. No offense Jackie.

Yay, I didn't lose my Attack boost.

CUNNING STRATEGERY RIGHT HERE

RRRRRAAAAGGGGEEEE

That's how it's done.

Forget clipping your wings......you should clip your hair.

No, seriously. It's all greasy and- what. A level 7 Pidgey and a level 9 Pidgeotto WERE PASSED DOWN TO YOU? I can see why you're emo now.

DAMMIT. I knew I shouldn't have made that crack about fighting them hand to hand. Okay. I can do this. I played Street Fighter 2 in the PokeCenter...

SHORYU- oh. That works.



One of these days I'm going to remember to check my Pokemon's stats before and after getting a badge. Does it just boost it in battle, or is it an actual boost to the stats?

Flash! Dammit! I knew I was forgetting something.

Helpful. I'm leaving now.

Y'know, I used to be excited by the Phone in my Pocket Monster Gear.

Really, between you and Joey, it's just a mewdamn nuisance.

Dio's kind of superfluous right now. I'll be raising him again soon though.

Probably.

He just asked me to find you.

That lazy bastard.

Sure. I should warn you though. If this hatches into a Tyranitar, I'm riding it back to New Bark and Hyper Beaming the hell out of Elm's lab.

You "discovered" this. Dude. It's a fucking egg. It's kind of obvious.

Don't you have a Cyndaquil? Couldn't you just hold the egg over it's back until it hatches into a tasty omelet.

Wow. I am so sorry for you.

That'll happen. Peace out.

Healed. Whee.


OH RIGHT SPROUT TOWER

Flawless victory.

Flawless victory. Again.

Three in a row...... Tic Tac Toe.

You have three level three Bellsprout. :shifty:

Doo-doo-doo-doo!

Good for you.

Oh, right, you're creepy pokephiles. I forgot.

Hehehe, Chow.

Leatherhed "Chow"ed down.

"Thank you sir, may I have another?"

Doo-doo-doo-doo!

GO BACK TO NARNIA.

He had three of those.

I know. Trust me.

Doo-doo-doo-doo!



NO IT IS DIM

I swear to Regigigas, if he sends out a Bellsprout

He sent one out before this, but this is a nice change.

Trust? Say what?

Crap! It's Token! That jerk.

Eavesdropping.

Oh snap.

In a world that encourages cockfighting? Too harsh?

Bulbapedia says otherwise.

Crap, that one was out loud.

And strait to the ellipses, I see.

Old people often are, Toto.

Yeah, I mean they're old and stuff. Arthritis and whatnot.

I can dig that.

And yet you stole a Chikorita. Unless you went back after our battle and got Cyndaquil instead. Honestly, that would have been the smart thing.

Chikorita says otherwise.

Good for him. Now to fight the-

MOTHER OF FUCK

IT IS NOT EVEN TWO HOURS AFTER THE LAST FUCKING TIME YOU CALLED ME

THEY ARE PLOTTING YOUR FUCKING DEATH RIGHT NOW.

WHEN THEY MAIM YOU I WILL NOT HOLD BACK

YOU FUCKING TOLD ME THAT LAST TIME YOU FUCKING FUCK FUCKER

STOP CUNTING CALLING ME

FUCK YOU

FUCK YOU

FUCK YOU

FUCK YOU

FUCK YOU

FUCK YOU

FUCK YOU WITH A STEAM SHOVEL

FUCK YOU

FUCK-FUCK-FUCK-YOU!

Hello sir, how are you on this fine morning?

I am aware of this.

That's beautiful, if slightly disturbing.

Wait, that was Victory Road?

Okay.

That's great.

Hey, it's not level 3.

Neither was that one.

Your team is officially better than Falkner's. :shifty:

It's not that big of an achievement, really.

So, am I the champion now?

Doo-doo-doo-answer-my-question!

That wasn't my question.

So I'm not the Champion?

FUCK YOU VIOLET CITY

Team.

I'm totally not lame or anything.
Next time... CAVES!

[Viridis]

You must as some point name a Rhydon "Gurren".

The character's funniest moments to me were when he was extremely pissed off.

Funny overall, but the Bulbapedia joke is getting repetitive.

[Julford Hajime]

Dammit Token, you have no idea how loudly I laughed when the ALL CAPS RANT about Joey came up.

I'm reading this in the surprisingly busy lobby of my dorm. Now everyone KNOWS that I'm weird. Jerk.

[Flarecobra]

...Why do I see you having you sending your Feriligator after his neck...

[akaSM]

So, this is what a "let's play" is like, so far, I'm enjoying it a lot

[Bard The 5th LW]

This is pretty good.

I hope Joey manages to call you again, regardless of you erasing his number, ASSHAT's rants are just too good.

Dammit Bard. I was hoping people wouldn't think of that until it happened. Yeah, I got his number again earlier.

Ah well. Time for plan B.
