Super Pokemon Stadium when? No. Colosseum/XD sequel. eh hes grown on me. though i may still try treeco bc grass/dragon mega sceptile, or not cause bleh sceptile, i havent enjoyed a grass starter...nvm chesnaught anywho i have recently started to replay pokemon yellow, via emu of course. i forgot how little strategy had to do with the battling system in those games. like seriously my level like 22 lapras wasted blaines ninetails nad its like lvl 50. surf surf surf. surfed right over blaines team. and giovannis too. considering sabrina and koga gave me trouble, im kinda sad that the last two were so easy... on to the elite four! then to mewtwo, then to cheat codes so i can finish the dex. mostly because even with ultra balls, it having 1 hp and being asleep/paralyzed i still fail to catch zapdos. just keeps saying "you missed the pokemon" which btw is more annoying than three shakes and it popping out. kids have it good these days. though i have enjoyed reliving my childhood. XD

Looks pretty good, but obv none of my favorites will be playable. Not completely true. Greninja/Zoroark are possible, but outside of that, probably.

True, I love Greninja (and he's quite a given for this game) but I tend to shy away from him since he's so overwhelmingly popular. Zoroark I could live with as well, though I primarily like him for his tricks and versatility more than the actual design. Although Sceptile is remotely possible...
But Kecleon should return to to his Mystery Dungeon glory...

well i caught jeff today on my emulator. if you dont know who jeff is, weve probably never battled on wifi. good ole jeff. still sad he hasnt been in a smash bros game in awhile i think i may download crystal version and use cheasts to catch only shiny pokes. because im already cheating to play the game. why not cheat more? also prolly gonna do that on yellow too.... i need coins to get porygon, and pinsir, i found one pinsir in the entirety of time i was in the safari zone, and i made like 10+ trips for scyther... who is hard enough to find on his own. then ive gotta grind for levels.... or use infinite rare candies.... cheats galore. mostly because i need mew and all the other "unobtainalble" pokemon in the game.

Kinda disappointed with Mega Gallade. It kinda just gets red arms, the end. I would like to see how it works, though, as I always wanted to fit Gallade on my team, along with Bisharp. Bisharp at least has Sucker Punch and other fairly competent moves/resistances, but Gallade has absolutely nothing going for him besides stats he can't make use of.

No offense Metal, but that Gallade set may be the most absurd, innefective thing I've ever heard in all of pokemon. Giving Gallade Focus Blast? With swords dance? (SD is good but the set you said makes a physical poke primarily special.) And HYPER BEAM!? Unless you are a Pixilate Sylveon, an Adaptability Porygon-Z, or a Gen 3 Slaking, Hyper Beam is incredibly worthless. Boomburst does as much this generation as Hyper Beam, but without drawbacks.

Gallade has great moves and awesome sp. def, but it's just too slow and has no priority moves. Like a sweeper that can't sweep. Same with Bisharp, but its Sucker Punch is enough to deal with. That 4x weakness to Fighting though... Man, 90% of my favorites are weak to Fighting.
Bisharp, Kecleon, Zoroark, Gekkouga, Aggron, Porygon2, Heliolisk... Why.
I still like my Heliolisk with Gekigan Beam (Hyper Beam) though, it's won me some games.

Gallade does have Shadow sneak, but I see what you're saying. The thing about Gallade is that since he's so averagely slow, it's hard to set up a sweep unless you pass an agility onto him. That said, his high Sp.Def lets him run a sort of tank set. It's not exactly OU level tankiness, but I try anyway. I just hope that the cape he dons grants Gallade a much needed speed boost, because high Speed, attack, and Sp.def makes for a scary sweeper, especially with such a cool typing.

I still like my Heliolisk with Gekigan Beam (Hyper Beam) though, it's won me some games. Yep. Unfortunately, a team of favorites (unless you happen to like pokemon who fit really well together) is near-impossible. Of course, I guess I just get lucky with my favorites. Team: Quagsire (Favorite of them all) Mandibuzz (I used to hate Mandibuzz, but I really fell in love) Blissey (Always liked Blissey's pinkness and perpetual smile. Kinda like Quagsire, actually, but with less derp.) Azumarill (Again with the perpetual smile thing, and it gives my stall team a way to break through pokemon while also being tanky.) Dusclops (Man I love Dusclops. Aegislash is really cool, but Dusclops has always been my go-to ghost since...forever. Chandelure replaced him early gen 5, and Aegislash early gen 6...but no matter how hard I try I always come back to Dusclops.) M-Aggron (I've always loved Aggron, much like with Dusclops, and his mega form makes him such a tank.) Anyway, back to Gallade. ...why did they give M-Gallade Inner Focus?

I don't expect to make a team of just favorites, but come on, almost every single Pokemon I really like has the same, worst weakness in the game. The only two that aren't in that list are Sceptile and Emolga...
And Mega Sceptile has a lolzworthy ability, and his big list of weaknesses gets even bigger, including a 4x. His stats may be a saving grace though. Emolga... Is just in the pits of filler Pokemon that don't matter at all.
Well, in their defense, Kecleon and Greninja do offset their Fighting type, but Mach Punch is OP against them.
And about Gallade, he's not too bad, but the main problem is even with his nice sp. def he still doesn't have the HP to be a tank. Actually, I was thinking he can play a support role in doubles better than a main physical attacker, his support side is pretty amazing really. Helping Hand, Heal Pulse, both Screens, and Will-O-Wisp, Swagger, Psych Up, Thunder Wave, and Trick Room. He can do just about anything...

Mega Sceptile...Grass Dragon is a type I've always known would appear eventually...it's quite possibly the worst typing ever. Flying, Dragon, Fairy, x4Ice, Poison weaknesses...really, really bad defensively, making a bad defensive pokemon even worse.

True, but he can switch into Water and Electric type moves with impunity. A steel type would be a great partner for Mega-Sceptile, knocking out most of his weaknesses. If Mega-Sceptile is faster than he already is, then that could be pretty scary. There isn't a fast grass-type yet in OU, so I'm sure Mega-sceptile will have a niche.

teach him psycho cut and hyper beam, maybe like fury cutter or metal claw too, he only gets stab from one of those, but with swords dance, psycho cut, and hyper beam, plus a fourth move of your choosing (which should or should not be focus blast. depending on what function your using him in) and he has possibility at least. i feel like he suffers from the same problem medicham has, not alot of moves that have real usage outside of the story that fit his typing, plus its like a fire type and a water type mixed, it doesnt really profit alot. idk though he has a cape too as a mega, that has to count for something, though i agree that they could have done more with him as a mega. idk alot of these new megas seem kinda redundant to me, or the designs need to grow on me also still no mega raichu. come on ninetendo.... i need a raichu that is electric and fighting type...

Boomburst does as much this generation as Hyper Beam, but without drawbacks. focus pawnch? or dynamic punch if you can get his accuracy high enough? idk i used to use him for doubles with a set similar to that with a gardevoir for support back in pearl, it wasnt the most effective team, but it did the job when it needed to. idk mega sceptile getting the dragon typing kinda of turned me off to it, like why does such a lame pokemon merit such a cool typing that it cant even use? btw i dont hate sceptile... much... its just my least favorite gen 3 starter, actually until probably seeing torterra i have hated every grass starter after gen 2. including torterras first two forms, and the gen 5 one. chespin and chesnaught i like, but quiladin is kind of derpy. remind me again why i cant start with a pikachu cousin every game again?

Because they're terrible pokemon. Also...Focus Punch is only really useful when used with Substitute, and Dynamicpunch is so worthless on anything not named Machamp or Golurk it's pathetic.

Also...Focus Punch is only really useful when used with Substitute, and Dynamicpunch is so worthless on anything not named Machamp or Golurk it's pathetic. its a good substitute for a riolu that cant learn aura sphere actually most of them only suck because they dont evolve, sure raichu isnt stellar, but it has better stats than say everything from minun to dedenne, (including plusle) which is caused because none of those pokemon no matter how adorable cant evolve. like they have low stat caps because they dont have evos. give pachirisu an evo and watch it wreck shop. probably.... besides, thatd make the games more challenging yellow was hard because i only used pikachu as a kid, and brock wasted me until it was level 20 and learned slam, at which point it wouldnt obey me i think. maybe no? idr, but it wasted that whole gym with slam. and everything else... yea. idk, i personally prefer teaching pokemon moves they cant "work with" to see if i can overcome that handicap, like can i effectively use a gallade that doesnt make much use of its special stat? challenge accepted. that and hyper beam looks cool.... plus you wouldnt expect a gallade to have focus blast, so its like... wait gallade just did what? why? then when it works... the results speak for themselves lol.
