    Let's Play! Herman Gigglethorpe's Pokemon Solo Playthroughs

    To unwind a bit from the frustration of a Bravely Default solo Ringabel run, I've decided to try out a Pokemon solo. White should be more of a challenge than the older games due to the diminishing returns on Experience Points for overleveled Pokemon. I wanted something more original than a...

    Pokemon Trading Card Game GBC

    I recently bought the Game Boy Color Pokemon Trading Card Game for the 3DS Virtual Console, and am currently trying to build a Grass-based deck. Supposedly the game is too easy if you tailor your deck to each elemental Club, so I thought I'd try to get through using mostly one type. The GBC...

    RPG Challenge Runs (With Spoilers)

    This week, I tried a single-class challenge for Bravely Default after completing an all-Patissier playthrough of Bravely Second. (Well, mostly. I had to switch to Thieves for one room in a dungeon where the party members are berserked in order to prevent overleveling.) Monk seemed like a...

    ORAS OU TestingDownward's Bird Team

    In case you don't know who adman2 is, I mainly play as SaunterDownwards and TestingDownwards on Showdown. I was fond of heavily offensive teams ever since my Pokemon Pearl Rain Dance Wifi team. My Wifi "double dragon" team of Garchomp and Haxorus back in early BW was a lot of fun for me too...

    Cloud Nine (Ability)

    While only a few Pokemon get Cloud Nine (Golduck, Altaria, Lickilicky), it can frustrate weather teams by negating their effects. Here's a silly replay of mine where the opponent forfeited on the first turn when Drought didn't work quite as well as expected...

    Other Foreign OU metagames, Gen 6

    I once made a fairly successful thread during early 4th gen about how non-English speaking countries approach their standard metagames. Many of them had different and interesting rules, and the Japanese players in particular are known for using UU and "gimmicky" sets successfully. There was at...

    Double Dragon Wifi Team

    My Wifi team tends to get me more wins than losses, but it could still use some improvement. Please don't recommend legendaries if possible unless you're willing to give me one, since I can't really RNG yet, and 4th gen only movesets are also a problem. Here goes: Heat Rotom @ Choice Scarf...

    1st Wifi Team: No Weather

    Weather used to be cool, but it sold out in Gen 5 OU. When I'm making my 1st team for Pokemon White, I want it to be a little different. Since this is Wifi, please don't recommend legendaries if possible, since I can't RNG (though feel free to point out if legendaries threaten my team). Not...

    A Wifi OU Rain Dance Team in need of improvement

    My ingame Rain Dance team was the first team I built that didn't consist of throwing 6 good Pokemon together and hoping for the best. I have had more success than ever, but I still have some major problems to work out. Uxie @ Choice Scarf Levitate Bold, 252 HP, 104 Defense, 152 Speed Trick...

    Foreign metagames

    Sorry if there's already a thread about this, but I haven't seen one around that's recent. This is based on some limited experience with PBR 3 vs. 3, but I'll share my thoughts. If you've played with Japanese players, or seen any videos of them playing, then I'd like to see what you make of...

    What's a good way to learn prediction skills?

    My win/loss record is beginning to make the French look good. I need some help! I try to predict, but it often fails, like using Charm on an Alakazam with my Blissey, predicting a switch to a physical attacker. This also includes problems with items, like when I don't know a Choice Scarf is...
