A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Lol, Twitch just accidently switched through 5 different pokemon during a fight. They brought out every pokemon except for that one that actually has a type advantage.

Please, that's going to be quite awhile before they get to him. Still have to deal with all of Victory Road and the Elite Four.

no it was just a Fisherman on the way to Cinnibar. Though they did beat the rival earlier today.

And they arrive. Time for some grinding for once. Also, wow, Twitch is switching out their pokemon more than Agatha! At least it means the lower level pokemon have a chance at some xp.

The way I see it, they're trying to level up now so that they have a better chance at getting through Victory Road without blacking out, because every time they blackout in that area they'll get sent back to Viridian City. That and once they reach the Elite Four they'd have to backtrack a lot to do any grinding.

I heard that they were considering getting Gastly from the daycare too. I'm a bit concerned about that plan considering the fact that it means going to the PC again and likely releasing all our good pokemon.

Yeah, no, just, for the love of helix and Bird Jesus, no. They got a decent group as is if they can just level them up.

So, to bring this back to Ponies, what tpes of trainers would the Mane 6 be?

Twi-All about the numbers, working out EV's, breeding for the right moves, always looking at type advantages. Being really technical and trying to keep a perfectly balanced team.

Pinkie- Random. having all the pokemon she considers to be 'fun'. Just spamming random moves. And abusing metronome because it's the best move to her. Her team would be mostly odder normal or Fairy types. Yet her lack of any strategy would actually help, by making her to random for people to plan for.

Rarity- Would only have the classiest, most elegant of Pokemon. But still train them to destroy opponents, but to do so with style. Her team would be fairly well balanced, but not the greatest, unless you were doing a fashion show or other show off event, then she's dominate

RD- Team full of the strongest/coolest pokemon she could find. But, possibly to much so. Leading to a smart opponet like Twi being able to exploit weaknesses easily, but able to just steamroll most. But to bullheaded to adapt when force doesn't work.

AJ- Would just have a team of general, practical mons. nothing big or fancy, just sticking to the basics.

Fluttershy- Would just collect all the mons that no one else really seems to care about because they are to 'weak', simply loving them for who they are, not caring about fighting.

RD-

Sounds about right. I must admit that I like using metronome. Even if I get annoyed when it does something less than useful. Then again, it's probably partially due to the pokemon that end up learning it,

I'm not sure if they do, honestly. Agatha in the Elite four has at least three Ghost-Type pokemon... I don't recall the way that works in Gen1 all that well. Special attacks are able to affect them, right? So Zapdos could handle it, I suppose.

Still, yeah, they really need to even out their team levels.

They are immune to normal and fighting type moves. So most of the team could do something. just Bird Jesus would really be unable to help, unless they get lucky with Mirror move. And if Rhydon knows any ground moves, they can knock out the ghosts no problem.

Refresh my memory on Gen 1. Can surf hit ghost types? Because if so, that's three more Pokemon who all have the ability to do some damage.

Yes, it's only Normal and Fighting type moves that they are immune to, same as all other Gens.

I'll be very glad when Twitch is over. Or it's faded into obscurity. Whatever.

Sorry, I'm in a bad mood because of my knee. To make up for it, have some Phoebe and Marigold playing "Pastel Unicorns".

Yeah, in that case as long as they can bump everybody up by a few levels, they should be able to make it. The real difficulty will be the fact that they have no real means to heal or recover PP between battles.

[up]It was inevitable.

Thanks for the pics, guys. smile

I've been on a "Heavenly Nostrils" binge since I saw CDRW's post about it. It's a refreshingly original and funny strip in a comic world populated by Garfields and Marvins and Marmadukes.

Seconded, it really is funny, and cute, and just a great strip. Thank for getting me into it.
