Topic	Going to play my first Pokemon game in about 15 years
Grand Kirby 09/19/17 4:17:54 PM #49:	KCF0107 posted... I will keep EXP Share on because I am far more unforgiving toward necessary grinding than I am for a game being too easy. It's Pokemon. There's no such thing as "necessary grinding". The game is still going to be easy no matter what you do. With that in mind, paying attention to Abilities/Natures for going through the story is pointless. That said, if a Pokemon has an Ability that's way better than the other one then it might be worth getting the good one just to make things more fun. Also, while you don't need to min/max Natures, it's still not a great idea to have a Special attacker with a -Special/+Attack Nature. You're just crippling yourself, although again, it won't be that big of a deal. LusterSoldier posted... KCF0107 posted... I was utterly baffled that Pikachu's Thunder Shock was not super effective against Azurill. I may not have played Pokemon in a long time, but I thought electric > water. I have to assume that Azurill is not a water type then, but it used three different water moves! Azurill was never a Water type, even back in Gen III where it appeared for the first time. After Azurill evolves, it picks up the Water type. Yeah, Azurill was always a bit weird. Aside from the type mismatch, it's Gender Ratio was different for Azurill than it's evolved forms. Since the variable that determines Gender stays the same even when a Pokemon evolves, it meant it had a chance of completely changing sex when it evolved into Marill. --- Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean? Hsu That you're a cheater. This is a 12-sided die. Chan <cite>Grand Kirby posted [p:886903181] in Going to p...
