Shoddy Battling!

OMG Shoddy is so good. I was afraid it was gonna wreck my computer but it didnt and it ROCKS! You can pick ANY pokemon and they start off lvl 100, you can pick any moves for all the pokemon (that they can physically learn whether that be by breeding, move tutors, or naturally) and you fight real people so you get a real challenge. As of right now my record is 3-1... ok one of those wins was by forfeit because his computer tweaked out but whatevs. VICTORY NONETHELESS! I have a team of complete defensive ridiculousness which is Swampert, Umbreon, Shuckle, Heatran, Dragonite (ok i needed some offense) and Forretress. How are you supposed to beat that? I don't know. That's why I made it. Metagross and Tyranitar came in close to making the team as well as Blissey but I like this team. So I'ma go play some more and you should too. We have a post on the side of the page if you wanna go to the website and play. I have another team too which I'll post later w moves and stuff but yeah. Super fun and you should play it!

Contest Victories

Finally! An article not about frustration! So basically Sullivan and I (after our Feebas adventures) decided hey, might as well make Umbreon a Contest pokemon because three of its moves were smart. Faint Attack (3 appeal, works well if used first), Confuse Ray (3 appeal, scrambles order), Screech (1 appeal, 3 jam, badly jams pokemon who have already appealed) and Double Edge (Tough move, 6 appeal, startled easier later...). So yeah. After overdosing on green Pokeblocks, I always got a crap load of first round appeal points :) so yeah. Then during contests I always breezed through everyone... until the Master Rank. My first Master Rank Smart Contest I lost barely to a Sableye... who had my exact moveset. Well it seemed like it because it knew both Faint Attack and Confuse Ray. Weeeeird. Anyways, I won my second by literally the SMALLEST margin of victory ever. I won by a speck. Like I couldn't have made it any closer it was that ridiculous. Goodness. I got really lucky too because my last appeal move was Faint Attack, I went first, and it got the crowd going. So basically I got 12 hearts for that. Hell yes. So yeah. VICTORY IS MINE! Only thing I'm still interested in regarding contests are move combos like Agility and Swift. Agility makes it so you move first the next round and Swift works better if you move first. They are both cool moves by the way. So yeah... VICTORY IS MINE!

Nick... who doesn't really have anything to post as a PS yet... OH!

PS: My Milotic is wonderful :P. It's level 51 right now and I already have it's final moveset done. Surf, Ice Beam, Recover and Attract. Can you say WONDERFULTASTICSAUCENESS!?

Shenaniganizing Prioritizing

The Quest of Frustration and Holiness: aka Feebas Hunting

Welcome, welcome to the single most frustrating Pokemon experience of alltime.

(Nick as a Pokemon game designer) "hey, let's go piss off some 7 year olds by making one of the best pokemon ever impossible to catch!"
(Nick as the responding team members) "YEAH!"
(Nick as a Pokemon game designer) "so heres the plan. lets make a route filled with over 400 spaces of water tiles and make it so the only way to get part 1 of the best pokemon ever is to fish with a super rod which you can only get after the sixth gym!!! on top of that lets make it so only 6 spots have the crappiest pokemon disguised as the baby form of the best pokemon ever to walk the face of the earth... no not a magikarp john we already discussed that. sheesh. im talking about a Feebas! why bother catching one even though its only move is splash? and that it takes minimum 6 hours to catch one? and then another several hours to figure out how to make the right pokeblocks and make sure the lvl is low enough to where it can learn good moves by breeding then getting the right berry mixtures and hope computers are good at pokeblending to make a good pokeblock to eventually feed like 15 to to hopefully evolve it???????????????? well i'll tell you. it well eventually evolve into a milotic! sound good!?"
(Nick as the responding team members) "YEAH!"
(Nick as a 7 year old who loves Pokemon) "NO! I dont care how good that is there is no way in h-e-double hockey sticks (because i didnt swear as a 7 year old :P ) ima spend 10 hours trying to evolve a goldfish-on-crack-type-pokemon!!!!!!!!"
(Nick as a 17 year old... who still loves Pokemon) "ok. might as well. ive done everything else there is to do in ur game... with the exception of beating the entire battle fronteir... twice"

10-15 hours later, Nick and Sullivan devised a brilliant plan of Feebas hunting zed Feebas, successfully found zed Feebas, breeded zed Feebas, made enough Pokeblocks after hours of research for zed Feebas, evolved zed Feebas, and are now training zed evolved Feebas turn into the most dangerous thing to ever walk/slither the earth/water since Chuck Norris.
Now you may ask "why Nick and Sullivan did you ever make the title shenaniganizing prioritizing?"
Nick and Sullivan respond "because it (Feebas hunting/training/breeding/pokeblocking/frustrationizing) took priority over raising Nick's Espeon, Umbreon, training my entire team 2 more lvls, tutoring my Salamance and Swampert Rock Slide and Counter, respectively, and overall Battle Fronteiring. So that's why."

Love, Sullivan and a Nick who hopefully thinks whoever hopefully reads these articles enjoys his twisted since of humor and limited PokeKnowledge :)

PS: Ima thinkin it's moveset is gonna be Surf/Hydro Pump (havnt deciced), Ice Beam, Recover and Attract. Any other suggestions?

PS#2: I like how I usually end my posts with PS's... generally several of them

PS#3: Did I just give myself a compliment?

PS#4: Yes. Yes I did.
