While We Wait: Part 4

[~Darkening~]

NESland must secure all sources of vodka production immediately.

I support this.

What's this thread supposed to be about? We're just screwing around while we wait, and about something relatively innocuous like Pokemon. Spam in other threads, though...

Uhm...the NESes that we're waiting on?

If you are saying what I think you are saying, then this is high treason! Unfortunately I probably can't act against you due to your vast network of agents and trained assassins...

Nonsense, it's all in your mind. *nods at Daftpanzer's bodyguard* It's all in your mind. We'll deal with those Northern Scot individuals shortly, don't worry about it at all

Fair enough. I guess I'll have to make a PokeNES or something so that this can be on-topic.

 

[~Darkening~]

Do that and I won't have an excuse to whine about spam anymore .

 

[Luckymoose]

That's a waste.

Not if you use MissingNo.

I once had a Charizard with 773HP. The glitch area in the first games was awesome.

So awesome in fact I personally believe it was a feature.

What is this glitch, anyway?

Off in an ocean area of Red/Blue there's this tidal divider thingy that you can swim up and down along. Weird MissingNo glitch Pokemon show up there--when you catch them, they turn into normal Pokemon, like Charmander, but their stats are weird. Boosted. You can then level them up and evolve them and get strange stats, like ridiculously high HP. I once did it too well and went above 999 and it rolled back around to low double-digit HP.

I used it to beat some jerk in a tournament when I was 12 who had a Mewtwo with Duplicate and Poison (so he'd just poison you and you'd have to break the duplicate; poison had exponential damage). It'd probably be useless these days, dunno. Christ, that was like ten years ago. Damn you kids and your flashback induction machine!

Duplicate and Poison? Funky names. Their effects are reminiscent of Substitute and Toxic.

I didn't want to say it...

There once was an in-class Pokemon tournament at my school, and the guy who won did just that - Substitute and Toxic spamming. He also finished the game in about two hours. Many unkind words were bandied about in the aftermath.

Is Duplicate the exploit or some pokemon attack?

Substitute is a normal move (TM 50 in the original I think) that cuts a Pokemon's HP to create a fake "substitute" that absorbs the other Pokemon's attacks until it breaks, or loses all of its HP (which is the HP that was cut from the Pokemon plus 1). There are only a few attacks that the substitute can't block. Basically, it lets your Pokemon get in a free move in edgewise or alternatively acts as a constant shield (just keep throwing up substitutes after the old one dies). You use Toxic on the other Pokemon beforehand, then throw up substitutes until the other guy dies faints.

Pokemon should die so you get free Gastlies, Haunters, and Gengars (there are more now, but they suck). They're impervious to attack unless your opponent has a Silph Scope.

I thought that Misdreavus was sort of cool, but after Silver, Gold, and Crystal, yeah, they suck.

Only in the first gen games IIRC.

I continue to wait for Uranium and Plutonium editions, featuring the daikaiju.

Chernobyl, meltdown attack!
Chern, chern, chernobyl!

 

[Abaddon]

Any chance we can move on from 'mon?

I didn't want to say anything, but, uh, yeah... we should do that.

I never understood if those ghost types were actually ghosts of previous pokemon or not.

On the MissingNo glitch, you must first talk to the guy in Viridian(sp?) City that teaches you how to catch pokemon in the beginning of the game, watch him teach you and then fly to Cinnabar Island and surf on the tidal divider. After fighting MissingNo your sixth (6th) item in your items list will have like 999 quantity. I usually used it on rare candy.

Then again I guess we could continue.
