*awaitds anxciusly for banner*

 

So a new topic

 

If you have one what was your favorite pokemon episode.

[Dark]

I don't watch the anime at all, but some episodes have really stupid puns.

[Tomiix]

i know i mean before the 4kids take over..

[Dark]

wut?

 

I thought 4kids always made the Pokemon anime right from episode 1.

[El Beasto Perezoso]

wut?

 

I thought 4kids always made the Pokemon anime right from episode 1.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Originally it was on Kids WB which wasn;t too bad.

[Dark]

Oh.

 

So it was 4kids who made all those shows with crappy puns as titles?

[El Beasto Perezoso]

Oh.

 

So it was 4kids who made all those shows with crappy puns as titles?

 

Sadly no. Kids WB started that, but 4Kids made the puns even worse. Kids WB's actually made sense. 4Kids' are just dumb.

[Dark]

What else has 4kids messed up?

[El Beasto Perezoso]

What hasn't 4kids messed up?

 

Fixed

And nothing.

[Dark]

xD

 

Now I see why everyone hates them. >:D

 

kj1 b1, your Swampert lead was good, but you took actions the wrong way. Knowing my Jirachi, you knew I was either going to Trick or U-turn, so you should have switched to something that would enjoy a Scarf.

I got my name change :) sorry if this was spam

[Felix]

@Dark: Like mah, Magnezone, the most awesome Scizor killer ever. 4*resist to Bullet Punch =3 Now, challenge for you, define the difference between a check and a counter.

 

The anime whent royally sh!t after the first few Battle Frontier episodes. The voice of Ash was great, then they put that whiny f'ck in his place.

[Dark]

I feel the use of .::. is overrated, but nice name change.

 

It's not spam because Felix needs to know so he can update the first page.

 

EDIT: @ Felix: Remember, this is not from Smogon. NO SMOGON INVOLVED.

 

Checks and counters are two different things. Checks are more used in a fast-paced metagame, while counters are used in ADV and whatnot.

 

A check to a Pokemon is something that can either revenge kill or switch in and attack, but also be crippled. A check to Salamence, for example, would be Weavile. It can switch in after something is dead and threaten a KO with Ice Shard. Another check to Salamence would be a ScarfMie with some DEF EVs. It'd be able to survive an Earthquake, be left with little HP, and can subsequently KO with Ice Beam.

 

A counter is a completley different thing. (Assuming Lucario was without Ice Punch.) A counter is something that can switch in to a Pokemon, take relatively no damage, and proceed to KO or threaten the Pokemon. Gliscor is a counter to Lucario. Close Combat, ESpeed nor Crunch will do enough damage to 2HKO at +0 or +2. Gliscor is also faster, and can KO Lucario with Earthquake or scare it away.

 

I think I got the gist of it. Also, checks can check more than one Pokemon. ScarfMie can check Salamence, Dragonite and (before it was Uber) Garchomp. Counters can only check ONE Pokemon well. Also, you need more than 1 check to a really overused Pokemon like Salamence and Scizor.

so whats the current topic as of now?

kj1 b1' date=' your Swampert lead was good, but you took actions the wrong way. Knowing my Jirachi, you knew I was either going to Trick or U-turn, so you should have switched to something that would enjoy a Scarf.

I didnt expect Trick really i should since u Trick my old Alakzam Literally.. But i did expect U-Turn Thats y i used Stealth Rock. If i was expecting Trick i would of EQed u.

[Felix]

Read Smogon so you can get an understanding of what each Pokemon generaly uses as its move set.

[kj1 b1]

I do. All of my pokemon have smogon movesets. And i found out dark's Jiraichi moveset. I even read the descrition on the bottom.

[Felix]

Have you EV'd your guys or do you not know how yet?

[Dark]

By the gist of it, they are EVd, but quite poorly. If they weren't EVd, I'd be shocked that I did so little damage and he did so much damage.

 

You didn't grade my check vs. counter description.

[kj1 b1]

Have you EV'd your guys or do you not know how yet?

 

I have tried it before. seen a few videos on EV training and i didnt get the EVs i should hav got. So i obvilsy did it wrong or dont understand it right.

[Dark]

If we ever open up that school, we can take you in as a member.

[kj1 b1]

Open up EV training at school?

[Dark]

No, a thread on YCM that acts as a school for people who want to learn Basic and Advanced competitive battling.

Open up EV training at school?

 

When u say ever, and that, i would be guessing u been thinking that for awhile?

[Dark]

Actually, me and Felix have been discussing this for awhile, but there is a problem with teachers, and we probably need FDragon's approval, and someone needs to make the thread, and a problem with activeness, and we would probably just be copying Serebii and Smogon. So unless we can resolve some of these problems, it's a no for now.
