[OOC] Pokémon Galar

[Mike Dracopyra]

I thought Liam was winning the Kubfu? I guess that's not the case anymore?

[James Davy]

My thoughts exactly.

[Azure Flame]

I forgot that's what it was about, I was just having Chuck try his hardest against a worthy opponent.

[bowtiesrcool86]

I forgot that as well. Ah well, I'll yield it to Chuck.

[Mike Dracopyra]

That does change how the Elder Lucario going to respond to the group but I can make it work.

[Mike Dracopyra]

So Chuck vs Shinranui in the final, this is going to be an intresrimg battle for sure. My post regarding the Lucario tribe is going though its final draft now.

[Azure Flame]

Anyone playing BDSP now that it's out? I just started and have a male Chimchar named Wukong, and a female Starly named Jolene.

@Azure Flame

I am, (we named our Chimchars the same thing.) I'm in Jubilife post Coal Badge with Volt the Shinx (F), Rouge the Zubat (F), and Mamoru the Budew (M) on the team with my starter. Dawn threw a bit of shade at me as I only had one Pokémon other than my starter when I got to Jubilife saying that I'd probably feel safer with more.

I wonder if a Prof Oak Challenge would be wise in BdSp. The Grand Underground is what would cause a problem I think.

[James Davy]

I'm playing as well. My starter is a male Chimchar named Songoku (the Japanese name for Sun Wukong) and my party currently consists of a Staravia named Taka, a Luxio named Dairaibyou, my starter (now a Monferno) and a Shellos named Umiushi. I also had a triple evolution after beating Roark for the Coal Badge.

@James Davy

I usually name Chimchar Son Goku, but I wanted to be different this time.

[Mike Dracopyra]

My team is Terra the Grotle, Xaldin the Staravia, Larxene the Luxio, Sora the Mew, Aqua the Manaphy and Demyx the Shellos.

Can you guess what the names are reference to?

[Azure Flame]

Of course I can. You're talking to one of the biggest Kingdom Hearts fans ever.

[Azure Flame]

Also, team update as of Cycling Road.

Buizel (no name yet), Geodude (no name), Caramen the Roselia, Jolene the Staravia, Sarabi the Luxio, ane Wukong the Monferno.

EDIT: And I just caught a Ralts in the Grand Underground, named him Arthur, and he will be a Gardevoir.

[bowtiesrcool86]

I love how James, Azure, and I all tookChimchar and went to the same reference for its nickname. Also a friend of mine in a discord server did the same name inspiration on Zubat. Additionally, I swept Gardenia with only my Monferno.

[James Davy]

I did the same with Roark with a bit of luck and the move Power-Up Punch.

[Mike Dracopyra]

@Azure Flame

Kingdom Hearts fans forever (May you heart be your guiding key)

[Azure Flame]

I will say, I kinda like the changes they made to the Contests. A lot shorter, and you can basically use any Pokemon you want, without having to worry about a specific moveset.

Also, about to take on Fantina
Arthur (Male Gardevior), Carmen (Female Roselia, earliest shiny stone is Iron Island), Female Graveler (Canalave Gym grants access to Strength, needed for Gible), Wukong (Male Infernape), Sarabi (Female Luxray), Jolene (Female Staraptor)

[bowtiesrcool86]

Currently: (BD) heading to Spear Pillar Wukong the Infernape (M), Volt the Luxray (F), Mamoru the Roselia (M), Rouge the Crobat (F), Webby the Golduck (F), Kadabra (M) [Only here to Synchronize a nature onto Dialga]

SP: Unstarted, don't know if I want to Shiny only run, or Oak Challenge

[Azure Flame]

Nice, I've recently beat Byron, and I have Gabite (named Drake) and Roserade. Currently going to the lakes and levelling Drake on Grunts (was lvl 15 Gible)

[bowtiesrcool86]

I've been wanting to get Gible in the underground, haven't seen it yet. I'm also wanting second opinions on which kind of playthrough to do on SP
