So I finally got Skyrim... But Now I'm Too Busy With Pokemon

DoubleH · **Posted:** Tue May 01, 2012 1:48 pm

The time was my brothers bachelor party, we started out doing paintball with like 12 buds. We then went to the bestmans house for booze and BBQ, while on his porch we noticed that the grass in his lawn was like 3 feet tall. He told us it was so high because he was afraid to mow it as there was a bee's nest hanging from an apple tree next to the fence that went along one side of his lawn, he said he had sprayed it like 5 times but the bees were not to be deterred. The nest was a bit bigger than like a basketball.

We decided we would solve the issue for him before the night was over. Out first attempt was with our paintball guns but we only had like a dozen paintballs left after the mornings fun, we cranked a PBgun as high as it would go and we hit the nest like 8/12 times and the bees were PISSED. We went inside.

A few hours later we remember it and went back outside. This time rocks. One of the guys used to pitch(baseball) back in highschool so we decided that another long ranged attack was the way to go. So he pelted it with good sized rocks for a couple mins until again they became very mad. So again we retreated.

Another couple hours pass, by this time the bestman has decided its a bad idea to mess with the bees anymore(his wife didn't want him to get stung) so our baseball star calls him out and says "Ok, if I get rid of these bees tonight you're going to give me $20". The terms are set. ROUND 3 FIGHT. Armed with garden sheers our hero performs a stealth attack !! He comes in from the far side of the house(for some reason) to "sneak up on them" gets in close and proceeds to get stung twice on the arm while standing there he then clips the branch that the nest is attached to and runs away screaming, but still alive. We go back in the house highfiving or what ever proud drunk people do.

Now we think that is that, that we have won this battle against nature and the bees having there next grounded will leave. But we were wrong, they all came out of there next and built living hive hanging from the underside of the fence a few feet from the tree. Now these bees were really starting to piss us off and our baseball heroes pride had taken a hit. It was time for the fire. We scoured every room in the house for bug spray/hair spray any friggen kind of spray we could use to flame thrower the bees with, but there was nothing(how the fuck is your wife out of hairspray?) and it is to late to go buy something(want to say like 11ish). We opt for the gas can, our hero makes a trail of gasoline on the ground and splashes said living nest/fence, retreats and lights the trail with a foot long match(who has those?). It burns FAST, shoots across the ground, climbs a leg of the fence, lights the living nest in a big poof of smoke and then like fireflys we saw a number of them buzzing through the air before they did FINALLY die(was creepy as hell). And there was much rejoicing.

The next day there were no living bees to be found and our hero was paid.

To best progress through the game, you need a well-balanced team. Ideally, you want six good, strong, well-balanced Pokemon of roughly the same levels - it's not as effective to try to rely on only one stronger Pokemon. This will become more apparent past the sixth Gym or so. Your eventual ultimate team will be hatched from eggs, picked from amongst many eggs by specifically chosen parents, after you beat the game. Don't worry about that now. It's unlikely that any of the Pokemon you catch will be even good as parents for your final team. They're just there to fill your Pokedex and for your levelling team. The best endgame Pokemon have sharp levelling curves and thus don't make good early game Pokemon (e.g., Larvitar/Trapinch/Horsea versus most bug-types and Pokemon that don't evolve) So my advice is to take it easy. I honestly find that going back to classic gaming, it's often a bit strange to unlearn the min-maxxing/power-levelling habits learned in shitty modern games and just enjoy the ride. I would advise you to consider trading Pokemon with others ASAP, because Pokemon from other players gain levels more quickly than those you catch or hatch yourself, and other players can provide you with strong, freshly hatched Pokemon from other regions (e.g., complement Caterpie/Weedle with Wurple, pick up a Pichu, or get a Houndour/Eevee/Ninetales instead of the Rattata/Poochyena you'd otherwise use), which lets you establish a more diverse team and spend less time grinding levels to challenge gyms. Most players are going to have some level 5 baby Pokemon sitting around in their PC, left over from breeding efforts. Better than what you'll capture while levelling, may have good TM moves, and will gain levels faster. That, and I'd like to hear your feedback on the Wifi thing.

What wifi thing? I don't recall.

Also only raising one pokemon is a fair strategy. It always works when I find the right one. Electric and grass types in black and white are weak as fuck.

Also a great story. Would read again.

Are Pokemon contests/conditions/Pokeblocking completely detached from the combat aspect of the game? Does it serve any point other than sheer completionism?

...that said, I'm still going to max out conditions ribbons in my lineup. Including the P$1M ribbon. Just cuz.

I think there are some benefits to combat but I can't say for sure, probably just unlockable items and junk. I never got into the contest portion of it all.

Check serebii.net or bulbapedia for all of that information.

lol thanks Weena

I fashioned a post last night made up of words to the effect of expressing my confusion every time i entered this thread expecting to see Skyrim but instead being blessed with the Pikachu. However said post never posted yet Weena in his infinite wisdom or perhaps creepy mind reading talents saw it fit to change regardless.

Bless.

I do have White somewhere but i can't find my DS charger. I think i lent it to my sister.

Albert Einstein did once say there are only two things that are infinite: the universe and my wisdom.

You know, I happened to listen to it on Youtube before reading this or playing the game (which I still haven't done) and I thought the exact opposite. It sounded like the most generic piece of "badass" techno I'd ever heard. So generic that it's just obnoxious. At least to me.

Sequelization at work I guess.

Cool bee story bro, you should add some POTATO GUNS AND INCENDIARY AMMUNITION

I like it because I can pick out bits and pieces taken from the gym leader battle theme from gold and silver.
