Is that a yes or a no? If not, give me a minute to snap a pic with my phone.

Tada, shiny Crabrawler!

@evilpresident  
Please name her Tomata

@evilpresident  
Nice.
 
Keep that shit, bruh.

@NotYourAverageLurker  
Will do. I kinda want to add her to my party but I already have a water type.

@Shepherd  
Sure, haha. Wait, where do you find the name rater?

@evilpresident  
Actually, Crabrawler’s evo’s Ice/Fighting.

@NotYourAverageLurker  
Oh, I thought it was a water type. Could use an ice type but I have that spot reserved for Vulpix.

@evilpresident
 
You find him here
 
Ohh and spell check messed up it’s “Tamatoa”

@Shepherd  
Will go visit him. Where does that name come from anyway?

Anyone else have those team members you are hesitant to put back in the box because you feel you’ve bonded with them even though they might not be the most efficient of choices?

@CobaltTheMadMage  
Belle.  
My Araquanid.

@SquiggyBomb  
I have a Snorlax named Dallas I got from the event and use him for Hold Back capture assistance. I took him with me to the Elite Four even though he isn’t particularly strong against anything.

@CobaltTheMadMage  
No.

After doing some type match up quizzes I’m getting stumped on a lot of questions.
 
What’s strong against Steel/Flying?

@LadyTheRainicorn  
Fire and Electric.

@LadyTheRainicorn  
Fire/Electric. Ninja’d
 
I have 2 questions
 
1: Did any of you guys actually like the Low-HP theme in Gen V?
 
2: If so, how does it feel to live a life of perpetual wrongness?

@NotYourAverageLurker
 
It was all right the first couple times, but then it just got annoying due to how it often interrupted the much better battle themes of the game.

@LadyTheRainicorn  
Fire/Electric and Dark/Ghost/Water are effective to Steel.

Funny how once the Fairy type was introduced and gave Sableye and Spiritomb a weakness, the only Pokemon that have no weaknesses now are the Tynamo line, and that’s simply because of their Ability Levitate and not because of their actual typing.

To be honest, it never made much sense to me that Steel resisted Dark and Ghost in Gens II-V. Kind of glad they changed it even though it gives a few Pokemon a couple more weaknesses.

Y’know, I like how they made the Apricorn Poke Balls available in Sun & Moon… but did they HAVE to make it so that you can only get 1 of each in the entire game?

I keep getting ghost dark and physic types mixed up.
 
I’m kinda glad they put in the type effective ness in the game this time around because certain elements either became confusing or hard to understand.

@LadyTheRainicorn
 
Heck, until my recent Black 2 replay, I had no idea that Rock did not actually resist itself, despite having played these games since the beginning.
