So just wondering about anime:

Is this actually first time ever that they are having a pokemon battle with team leader?

I mean, don't they usually just have some sort of world ending scheme going on that they need to stop that doesn't involve pokemon battles?

You're better off asking in the anime thread because people over there are more than likely to actually watch the show.

Not gym leader. Team leader. As in villain.

About to start ''Platinum" after not touching it for like 8 years. Should I go with Chimchar or Piplup as my starter?

I'm not using Turtwig.

I was always a Chimchar man, myself.

Don't know if I ever really cared for the Sinnoh starters, though...

I was always a Infernape guy but, provided the Fire Type diversity is increased, I'm considering Torterra for the inevitable Sinnoh remakes.

#147415: Sep 1st 2016 at 10:26:44 PM

i'd pick chimchar since sinnoh's fire type selection is ass.

IIRC your best STAB move that is readily available is fire blast, which has annoyingly low accuracy but whatever.

Turtwig is the best one though, at least as far as in-game is concerned. With Piplup you're stuck giving things prissy-ass slaps until it finally finally learns a special move. and with Chimchar you can get mowed down by your rival's starter that just learns Earthquake.

Wow, my sister's old save took forever to delete. I knew Sinnoh was slow, but yeesh.

Chose the boy protag and named him after me. Barry is Barry because I'm uncreative.

EDIT: Went with the monkey. Got a shitty Quiet nature, so I soft reset once and got lucky with a Rash female.

D/P plays like Sonic compared to how Uranium(or any RPG maker pokemon fangame for that matter) runs on my laptop lol. I'm actually in the middle of a playthrough right now and I'm going to challenge Fantina. I might evolve my Haunter first though.

I'd pick the monkey because there's a dearth of fire types in Sinnoh.

Wait, I'm just a bit late to the party, aren't I...

Infernape's movepool is ridiculously good. Close Combat, Mach Punch Thunder Punch, Grass Knot, Stone Edge, Earthquake, Flare Blitz, Flamethrower, and Overheat. Sword Dance and Nastry Plot are also available.

Infernape was incredible 4th gen.

I'd pick Infernape even with a increased pool of Fire types because he's way cooler than most of them.

Great design, amazing in-game performance.
