What the fucking FUCK AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO DO HERE? WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO GIVE A RANDOM TRAINER A GLACEON THIS EARLY IN THE GAME? THIS IS BULLSHIT

Do you have any idea how strong a STAB 40 potency move coming off a 130 base special attack stat is at level 16?

And you don't have any Pokemon that resist ice? Or even a Specially Defensive Pokemon in general?

My team is dartrix (17), yungoos (16), ghastly (15), and vullaby (15).

Dartrix and Vullaby get outsped and OHKO'd. Yungoos is outsped and 2HKO'd (while his tackle does like 15-20%) to the glaceon). Ghastly outspeeds but is also 2HKO'd.

Ultimately I managed to win by using curse with Ghastly and then just stalling the fucker died.

Dexio has a Mentali with a stab 50 move. But you can have a dark type to make it inoffensive.
How about using a magnemite or something ? And thunder wave the blue donut for good measure.

Jakfriends...turn your mockery on OP, who is so bad at a kid's game he not only gets his ass wiped by some shit tier early game trainer, but has to spam items to do so. If anyone is deserving of your derision, it is him, not the Frenchman or the uncouth individual who lambasted the Frenchman.

Dying enough in Crash games gives you a free level 2 Aku Aku. Most nu Mario games do the same thing by giving you a free goldrn leaf or other broken crap. I guess it is not cheating since you are certainly impaired and need the extra help.

This team >>48727268 against that glaceon meant my options were get swept or use potions, unless you have some solution in mind.

Barring that, healing is a staple skill in turn-based RPG's and no amount of you being an autistic mong wanting to enforce unwritten rules only other autists like you has ever heard of is going to change that.

It doesn't usually have absolute priority either.
>unwritten rules only other autists like you has ever heard of
Everyone has heard of Nuzlocks and no potions is a commonly added rule.

And I'm not doing a nuzlock because I never even finished beating the game in the first place.

If I was planning to do a nuzlock/no potions run I clearly would've put more preparation into my team. Putting someone down because they didn't elect to play by an arbitrary set of rules is pretty sad.

That's not what he said...he's refuting your point that challenges for Pokemon games are some niche thing that some people know. Jaiden's Nuzlocke videos have over tens of millions of views. People who don't even play Pokemon know about self imposed challenges in Pokemon.
>Putting someone down because they didn't elect to play by an arbitrary set of rules
It's hardly arbitrary, it's a well known thing to not make a kid's game even more piss easy than it already is. That's why we're laughing at you.
It's also not the game's fault your team isn't good, USUM in particular has a massive variety on the first island alone.

I never said nuzlocke rules are niche. My point was acting as though everyone wants to play by them at all times is autistic and retarded, especially on a first playthrough.

And it seems to me that making a well-balanced, deep team is way more OP than using potions for early game.

Catching a growlithe on route 2 and 2 shotting the glaceon? That's easy. Finding a way to deal with that glaceon with that team where everyone is super weak and can't touch it? That's a challenge.

How is 'having a Pokemon that doesn't die to Ice attacks or can't outspeed a slow piece of shit like Glaceon' having a 'well balanced, deep team'?
>That's a challenge
If you ignore that you can just spam a priority free full heal every single turn, yeah

Hey it's just banter, I didn't mean to sound too harsh. Have fun with the games. At least you aren't playing SwSh or the Diamond/Pearl remakes.

He wasn't talking about nuzlocke's, though. He was trying to force an unwritten rule that you're supposed to never use potions.

>How is 'having a Pokemon that doesn't die to ice attacks or can't outspeed a slow piece of shit like Glaceon' having a 'well balanced, deep team?'
True. When you put it like that, I was playing the game on XXX Dante Must Die hard mode. I should be the ones laughing at you then actually, for making the game so easy. Hmm...

>If you ignore that you can just spam a priority free full heal every single turn
If you ignore that potions are only 20HP and you still have to attack the opponent's pokemon.

You just said "unwritten rules" and then followed up his point on nuzlockes, but I guess quietly shifting back to a more tenable position is cool too.
But okay, if you want to get pedantic, not healing in battle is also a well-known rule thanks to PokemonChallenges and the like.
>I was playing the game on XXX Dante Must Die hard mode
No, you're just bad at the game. This is why we're actually cool with you using healing items, they're crutches for bad players or children. Just don't get mad when we laugh at you.
>and you still have to attack the opponent's pokemon
You said you used Gastly's Curse and healspammed your way through, so now you're going back on that? That point you can just autoheal yourself to full each turn was implicitly set in conjunction with you saying you had a mon that could set a status capable of killing opponents in 4 turns, don't be disingenuous
