| zinformant 11/26/24 7:58:21 PM #17 | While some arguments against Objctmon are valid (cf snow cones, I suppose), a small-G ghost would absolutely enchant an object and wear it.

| zinformant 11/24/24 12:58:55 PM #70 | The games have a rich array of egg moves (which I had thought was a term but apparently not, must have been invented by print strategy guides) where access to many desirable attacks is locked. That's where the Aurora Beam Lapras is apparently hiding out. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gbc/198308-pokemon-gold-version/faqs/10977 Search 'BREEDABLE'. Leafing through it, I see Octazooka Horsea.

| zinformant 11/24/24 10:08:41 AM #66 | Shotgunnova posted... Kinda odd how absolutely no trainers have used it against me until I'm eastbound from the ice gym area. The game design is overall wonky because they didn't yet have a vision for how to progress the series, let alone manage the new monsters. That's why so many are relegated to telephone swarm, postgame, or obscure spawn locations like Natu's for wild encounters with sparse trainer representation. You've been fighting the same narrow scope of monsters for ten hours or what have you. Union Cave Lapras is a flex, though. --- While we count these petals to pluck them off a cosmos The stem is likely to blast but never does the fate |

I'm going to echo below that Annihilape's concept is too good to pass up, but Breloom puts up a mean fight. TMOG posted...

If you mean that our-kay-nine sounds more correct, its cadence feels off in English if one was just reading the name freshly. Anyway, Ark-uh-nine is overrated.

| zinformant 11/13/24 9:37:28 PM #10 | Gardevoir < Gallade << Iron Valiant Lapras has always enjoyed a privileged spot in the series and, arguably, rightly so. It ferried Ash around and particularly had a mean showing in the first Orange Gym in the show whereas it was reserved as a gift in the original games. It being a rare once weekly spawn in the sequels carried that torch.
