But oh man, it sucks!

Terrible stats, terrible moves...

I was looking forward to using it in my Virtual Console Crystal game, but it's absolutely abysmal. It's good at causing status effects and little else.

I'd forgotten how awful it is. I wanted to use it because of how adorable it is but it doesn't even get one good move unless you hunt down the TMs for it, and even then, damn.

yeah the best use for it was Encore/Leech Seed which is pretty useless in single player

Jumpluff is in the league of Luvdisc, Delcatty, and Ledian in terms of terribleness. The Encore/Leech Seed maneuver is risky - time it wrong and Jumpluff gets 2HKOed.

I tried using one once when I was young and dumb and, well, that didn't last.

Best thing about the new games is how much easier it is to build an amazing team.

Old games they often have shit movepools and meh stats. And Heracross for instance is really difficult to get.

Meanwhile USUM has Bagon and Hawlucha on the first island

I can't get Ampharos in Crystal, I was hoping to get it because it's one of my faves from Gen 2. I guess it's Jolteon or bust if I want an Electric type.

Who cares about speed when you have Thunder Wave.

Plus ampharos learns signal beam which is just freaking rad. I loved being able to use the Bug type without an actual shitty bug. It was my go to against dark and psychic.

Or you can use the best Pokemon ever aka Lanturn.

Jumpluff's adorable and I find the idea of it kicking other Pokemon's asses hilarious.

Unfortunately, it's not capable of kicking anyone's ass. :(

Well, yes, it gets a bunch of status effect moves. It can chip away at sleeping opponents until they wake up and Flamethrower/Fire Blast it into a beautiful oblivion.

At least it'll be useful against the legendary beasts!

Honestly I can't see myself enjoying pre-Gen 4 Pokemon games again
When I played GS on the VC I just used starter rush to get it over with

The Physical/Special split was such an important change
Until then Pokemon like Kingler that had high attack but shitty Special Attack couldn't do anything because their STAB was Special and not Physical

What the hell were they even thinking when they made the Hoppip line way back when, like haha they're cute grass type Pokemon with NO MOVES

As if there aren't enough of those

At least they've got some good moves nowadays

If your just playing the game any pokemon is fine.

I used Wigglytuff the first time I played the game (in Red) and it did fine despite horrible stats. I used Ampharos in Gold.

The game is so easy you can beat it with anyone. (except for like a whole team of Wobbuffets. And a team of Magikarp since they cant hit ghost types)
