Greetings everyone! This is part of a project to replay the old games and simply have fun doing them while saying my personal thoughts on the games in question. I only have easy access to Gens 1-5, so those are the gens we might be playing, depends on how I feel when this finishes up. Let's...

I was playing Black 2 recently and my Magnezone fainted to a Plasma Grunt's Grimer Mud Bomb off 40 Special Attack (Sturdy was likely broken). It got me thinking, have any of you had a situation where you got caught off guard by in-game, primarily on random trainers (not so much bosses)?

If you’ve been reading any posts of mine for a while you’ll know I’m a huge in-game player. One thing that interests me is how game-defining certain moves areIn earlier Gens this is harder to pinpoint but I can still think of some examples. I’m talking strictly maingame examples - no postgame...

As a person who has way too much experience playing in-game Pokemon (read: casual, mostly non-competitive) one of my favorite things is seeing people lose their minds over bad Pokemon, particularly in-game. My personal favorite would be Merritt's summation on Whismur in RSE: "Whismur - Whismur...

Ever since the BW1 list, I periodically think about how both Gigalith and Simipour went through hilarious awesomeness decay in BW2. In BW1, they were arguably top ten mons for a playthrough. BW2? Just another mon of their types. Gigalith feels cripplingly slow in BW2 and way more vulnerable...

I am running FRLG at the moment, and like in pretty much any incarnation of Kanto, it feels weird to go without a Psychic type because they are game breakers. I thought back to how the desert mons function in BW1 and how almost every playthrough uses at least one of them, and I thought of a fun...

We've all had one of these. From my Nidoking paralyzing Lance's Gyarados with ThunderPunch to critting one Dragonite with Ice Punch to then freezing the second Dragonite in one attempt, we've all had our "what just happened?" moments. There was also the time I found 1% Dunsparce before 5%...

Introduction Welcome to the Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow in-game tier list! The goal of this list is to rank every Pokémon in Kanto in one of the six tiers, from S to E, each vaguely determining its viability. The major factor under which each is ranked is efficiency; a Pokémon that is...

My post in High Quality Fanworks got me thinking, we have a "favorite theme" thread but we don't have a flipside of this in that we don't have a thread for Pokemon music we dislike. I know general negativity isn't the most attractive thing, but I was struck with the idea out of nowhere. I'll...

Hey all, it has been a while since I've posted on Smogon. Among my group of friends, I usually have a mon or two per Pokemon game that I would call a "noob trap", or a mon that looks okay on paper but generally flops in practice. I play these games often so I have a few. In BW1, that would...

Now, I know that these games are generally considered pretty easy compared to most RPGs. Once you learn how types matchup well you can complete most games with almost any Pokémon team, with some exceptions. As I’ve wanted to introduce some friends of mine who don’t have much experience with...
