Hey guys, could you maybe help me out with my Emerald Battle Frontier team? I tried smogon but the past gen RMT is completely dead over thereThis team will not be used for comp battling, only for BF, so the rules of BF will apply (no clauses, all legendaries banned, Wobba allowed, etc). It will be used for all game modes, except Palace (and Factory obviously). It is mainly focussed on Tower, Dome, and Arena.Salamence @ Petaya berryAbility: IntimidateEVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 6 AtkNature: Rash / Naive- Brick Break- Dragon Claw- Flamethrower- CrunchI found that in pretty much all gamemodes, it's good to start off with a fast heavy hitter, followed by two more bulky hitters; this gives for fast sweeping at the start and enough switching possibilities if something goes wrong. Brick Break is used to dent specially defensive pokemon who can't harm me much, Dragon Claw for STAB and Flamethrower and Crunch for good coverage. While in comp Dragonite would've pulled this set off better, I decided on using Mence for this because of the lack of switching cpus use; Focus Punch won't be of much use because of that, and Intimidate becomes an even more devastating ability. On top of that, the extra speed is rather nice; I'm still not sure if I should go full speed or use a SAtk boosting nature, which is rather hard to decide without a speed tier list. I refrained from using Hydro Pump and Fire Blast because I don't really feel like losing my 100th battle to a random miss.Swampert @ Lum BerryAbility: TorrentEVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpANature: Relaxed- Surf- Ice Beam- Earthquake- RestSwampert is the backbone of the team, being nice and bulky with good coverage. LumRest actually works really well in BF, although I am considering using another attack over Rest. Another issue is the EVs because there isn't much use in aiming for specific KO's; right now I'm just using the standard spreadMetagross @ LeftoversAbility: Clear BodyEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 SAtkNature: Brave- Thunderpunch- Earthquake- Meteor Mash- Sludge Bomb / Rock Slide / ExplosionMetagross can switch in to all the weaknesses of the other teammembers, and vice versa. Thunderpunch is because Bulky waters give me lots of issues, and still leaves a big dent even without investment. I'm still contemplating the final move; I've been using Sludge Bomb from the start when Tyranitar still was in the team over Salamence, which made me weak to Grass pokémon, but with Mence it becomes a little redundant. Rock Slide probably has the best coverage, but acc is a bit of an issue and it doesn't add too much extra coverage. Explosion is always a good move, but Metagross often ends up being the last pokémon left, rendering it useless.All in all the biggest issue this team has are bulky waters, and I'm not very keen on my EVs and Natures yet; it would be nice to make my two bulkers a bit faster, but I don't want to sacrifice defense. Any suggestions to fix these issues would be appreciated. thanks in advance :3

I think looking at these gave me eyeball cancer

Arma is still a bit too expensive for meI'm thinking about getting the Bethesda Collection; all the F:NV DLC and Skyrim, which I still need. However 50 bucks is still a lot of money, and I'll end up with Brink.... nyeehh

Actual diagnosed paranoia or angsty-teen paranoia?Think about this answer carefully because one results in me stalking you

I´ll definately see it, but it isn´t really a movie I´m hyped aboutI mean, it´s Batman.

got crysis and mirror´s edge, two games I´ve been wanting to try out for some time

store went down the moment I finish my purchase why won't you take my money Gabe? ;-;

dammit I want to get crysis and mirror's edge but steam is being mean ;-;first France and now this

grats

Excuse me while I continue crying in a corner for not being able to access my money during steam sale

I just need one gib, but a very specific one

^that's amazingwho would've thought that of all things it would be Truant that would break the game

Oh yeah, I forgot about Sturdy, silly 5th gen shenanigans. That makes things a bit more interesting.ChestoRest isn't that good though, and you'll need two attacks at the VERY least.You'd need to have an opponent switch out on the switchin of Shuckle, then Power Trick while hanging on to Sturdy, and pray he doesn't run priority. Then you have a whopping two turns to attack before Trick Room ends. Does 5th gen have some item that increases the duration of Trick Room perhaps?

Shuckle isn't worth two turns of setup just for three rounds of sweeping. On top of that those three turns are very shakey as a single priority move or bulky defensive pokemon will ruin you. For the same result but more effective, use a Bone Club Marowak which has about the same movepool, and doesn't require the Power Trick to kick ass EDIT: Also, Shuckle doesn't seem to learn Trick Room, which makes you sacrifice another turn of setup

My biggest point of annoyance always is gravetalk (wether alive people can read what you type when dead). Noone seems to know how it works and if it's on a server or notI once had a HUGE discussion with a guy on a valve server who didn't want to believe gravetalk was off even after both he and me proved that it was

crapI'm in France so I can only use my paypal right now, it'll take until Tuesday before I can use iDeal. And right now my Paypal holds a whopping 7 euros ;-;It's probably for the best though, as I already blew away 100 bucks on retro videogames today

a long time ago, men much wiser than us already decided that it will be addressed as "burd"

Aw man I remember when I watched this. Our living room was being painted so we moved the tv and furniture to the smaller front living room. It was cozy as hellAnyways I watched medabots until everything and its cat knew the medaforce all of a sudden, then... I don't know, maybe it stopped airing here? Or maybe I just lost interest.Oh, I also remember that the Dutch voice for Rokusho was the same of that of Mewtwo in Pokémon the first movie. It was awesome.

I-I beat mom onceam I cool now? :C

I´ve been lucky enough to never have had any severe injuries.As for now it´s a tie between Rammy and Demopan for most horrific injury.

I was gonna compliment you on your avatar, but you just completely blew it

or the murrican option all the above this thread will not end well

tough choice. Europe is clearly superior, but we did create America...

both lie in murrica. It's like picking between AIDS and cancer.
