You have Fire/Dark, which is an awesome typing, yes, but you could just get Houndoom, Water/Fairy, which is also a great typing, but I don't care for the design of Primarina Or you could get the awesome Grass/Ghost archer assassin owl!
Chaos he/him Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Grass as a type just isn't really that good. It's weak to a lot and its strengths aren't really amazing either. Mediocre at best Like you aren't really going to use grass to counter water as you'd probably have an electric type anyway to beat flying, so it just seems superfluous. Grass types were okay for HM slaves though! Sometimes. I have strong, long held opinions about Pokemon games xD I'm going to go for the water/fairy. They have such good movesets! I am enamored.

Sure, but you have Ghost on that, which gives you two immunities and you also have a resistance to Earthquake. Electric types are more useful in general, until you run into a Quagsire.

And he doesn't arm himself? Yeesh, Joss, this isn't tossing him the Idiot Ball; this is tying it to his ankle like a ball and chain.

Sunbird she/her Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 @TwiLyghtSansSparkles Spoiler Oh ok. "Five by Five," right? I didn't realize you were still working on the first season. I'm glad I didn't say anything more detailed! As River Song would say, "Spoilers!"

Angel: Well, her job was to kill vampires on behalf of the Watchers. That ended in season 3 of Buffy. She's got the powers, but not exactly a direction. While the world of Buffy is thematically based on being a teenager (and so has a sense of overall goals - complete school, enter society, do your part), Angel is more 20-something-based (you're out in the world and nobody can tell you what to do, so what's your choice?).

Now I'm back to main series Pokemon. I've never really played any of the other Pokemon games besides Go. I still get a kick out of it, and it's done its job getting me out and about and exercising. The daily rewards they introduced help a lot, too. Extra XP and stardust and items to entice people into playing a little bit every day? Good plan.
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Hey, Turtwig and Oshawott were cute as! I'm just playing OR ATM, will order Sun in the next couple of weeks, EB games has a Christmas sale on and I'm eyeing up some preowned LoZ games 1

Treecko is my favorite <3 I have never chosen the Water starter (since gen 2, where I used all three starters in one playthrough, two of them received through trades). Not because I have anything against Water starters... it's just the way things have turned out. This generation will not break the pattern, I'm afraid. #TeamRowlet all the way.

ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Has anyone had the utmost intensely irrational desire to fly, like a bird/insert-other-mythicalornonmythical-flying-species-here? Cause I have and am currently doing so. I really want to know what it feels like 1
The Honor Spren she/her Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 When it comes to Pokemon, I only watch the show and play the card game . . .

It is part of the reason. From what I was able to gather from the internet (so of course it may not be true) it is a combination of Europe having more languages, more markets who's laws they need to follow and so on. Basically its just more difficult to get a game out for the European market in general. Is what I have read, at least. 2 hours ago, Eki said: Treecko is my favorite <3 I have never chosen the Water starter (since gen 2, where I used all three starters in one playthrough, two of them received through trades).

Treecko is the best Grass starter <3 Together with Rowlet. I usually pick Fire or Water because I always end up with a team full of Fire, Dark, Psychic and Ghost types. Gen IV I had Greninja, Charizard, that awesome Blaziken you got and Talonflame. I should have picked Bulbasaur, but I wanted Mega Charizard.
