Hi, /vp/

I'm one of those played blue as a kid/There are only 150 Pokemon guys, but I had a long car ride recently and downloaded an emerald rom. Had a pretty good time, so I'm still playing it.

My team is currently:

Combusken, Lvl. 31
Gyarados, Lvl. 30
Lairon, Lvl. 32
Swellow, Lvl. 29
Kadabra, Lvl. 33
and a freshly caught Sableye, Lvl. 10

How did I do? Getting my ass kicked because I don't know the types like I did in Blue sucks.

You might want to get a ground type on your team. Trapinch is pretty strong once it evolves.

Save yourself the pain, OP.
He learns no Flying-type attack moves, and his Water-type attacks are incredibly weak due to his 60 base special attack.

Torkoal, eh?
It has really high defense, but really low special defense.
Get a strong Water-type, like Tentacruel or Sharpedo, and you'll fuck it up pretty good.
Ground-types, especially Claydol and Camerupt, work fine as well.

Glad to see someone getting out of the nostalgia abyss, hope you have a lot more fun :)

If you're still curious try Black/White or Platinum next, the later has a similar vibe to Emerald and is much better on almost every aspect.

Trapinch ends up being ground dragon? Is he going to be as much of a pain in the ass to train as Aron was?

400 something pokemon. Honestly, Gen 4 was the best generation pokemon and exploration wise. It was the first game that encouraged me to go everywhere, and all of the hidden things to find and explore are awesome.

However, Emerald's Battle Frontier is the best frontier.

Also, Trapinch and Vibrava are really hard to train, especially if you get one with a bad personality. There defense isn't exactly high to begin with.

Use the Macho Brace when training/grinding EXP, take it off before you get in a trainer battle.

Fuck my life. Aron does so little damage and is weak against fire, water and fighting. Something every damn Pokémon, wild or trainer-owned, seems to have at this point in the game.

On that note, is the final evolution of aron...good? I haven't had Lairon long enough to know if he's any better.

He's an absolute killing machine.
Extremely high defense, high attack. Keep 'em away from Ground-types and Fighting-types and he'll wreck shit.

That's good to know.

Flygon is the final form of Trapinch?

Can anyone give me the Cliff's Notes version of natures? The good, the bad? Is a brave nature better than a hardy nature?

Natures are pretty much a personal variation in stats. A pokemon with a hardy nature doesn't really get any boost, while a pokemon with a brave nature will have an increase in attack and a decrease in speed, and will like spicy pokeblocks and hate sour ones.

You can read all about it here.

Brave will lower speed and highten attack, not really recommended sense its best stats are both attack and speed, so I'm guessing for a simple runthrough of the game hardy would be better of the two.

Basically, a Pokemon's nature confers a 10% stat increase to one stat, and a 10% decrease to one stat.
For example, a Pokemon with a Jolly nature will have 10% more speed, but 10% less special attack.

It was a huge pain in the ass getting one with HP flying in my emerald.

So there isn't really a best nature, they're all just kinda little boosts in one area at the expense of another?

>>13073506
Gyarados is one of my holdovers. I used to buy that Magikarp in the Pokémon Centre before Mt. Moon and train it up to Gyarados for a little after I finished Cerulean City.

Pretty much. However, some natures are better for some pokemon than others.

Then Effort Values kick in.
An Effort Value, or EV, is a hidden statistic that adds a bonus to stats gained every time your pokemon levels up.

Say your pokemon, X, levels up from beating Y. Y's best statistic is speed. That means that X will get a boost in speed from the effort value of Y.

So if I have a Pokémon that has a low speed stat, if I beat up a bunch of...I dunno, Pikachu and made sure everytime I leveled up it was against a Pikachu, my speed stat would get raised on top of the level up?

I don't actually know what Pikachu's best stat is but it was the first thing that came to mind when I thought "FAST POKEMON"

I just peaked at the stats guide for Emerald...I get the idea, but I think the actual application of this stuff might be a bit too much for me and my Pokemon experience.

Yep, you've got the idea. Pikachu would be a GREAT pokemon for Speed gain. Pic related.

Don't worry about all this stuff. When I play, I keep it in mind, but don't let it rule how I play the game. It's just over-complicating something that's meant to be fun.

Well think about it this way, all natures really are useful for are competitive play anyways, in a normal runthrough it doesn't really matter too much in the slightest. And with the pikachu thought yes you are right with the EV's in speed.
