*insert Pokemon based off tank here*

What does this even mean

[Citation Needed] · **Posted:** Thu May 18, 2017 1:45 am

for some reason I just assumed they were referring to a pokemon based on or similar to a tank
and then i thought "Like L4D tank? Machamp maybe?"
and then I thought "no like the heavy artillery. maybe Heatran? Or Volcanion?"
and then I thought "BUT WHAT IF THEY JUST MEANT A POKEMON THAT HOLDS WATER? THERE ARE SO MANY"

in the end I settled on "I don't know what this means. am i out of touch?"

Maybe they're talking about Hydreigon?

Bulbapedia wrote:

According to interviews with Ken Sugimori in Nintendo Dream, Hydreigon and its evolutionary family were originally intended to be cyborg dragons with aspects of tanks. The Cockfighting Society were scrapped until late in development, when they were revived and remade to be based on Yamata no Orochi. The tank tread-like markings on Hydreigon's body are a remnant of this design. Although Yamata no Orochi typically has eight heads in mythology, Hydreigon was designed with fewer heads to appear less confusing.

Octillery's also a tank if its japanese name is accurate.

Recieved a Dialga from wonder trade. Holy shit my luck stat must be low after all those times I received physical pain to my testicles and now I'm granted a beast.

I really really really wish Pokemon Sun and Moon had opted for something familiar for their villainous team. Mobsters, eco-terrorists, dimensional enthusiasts, or even PETA would be better than Lusamine.
the family drama is TOO relatable
she sees no value in her children and tells them off and disowns them.
i really know what that's like. :/

that is far too personally relatable can we go back to the absurd please? i want to beat up nerds who want to shrink/expand the ocean please? or maybe some jerks with the ultimate evil end goal of "running a casino real good", or "i wish I didn't live in this universe". Lusamine isn't fun like all the other Team Bosses have really been.
and then she even orders Guzma to permanently silence her children and you (and Hau). you know, as in death.

like

shit

this is another fucking level

at least i have a PANK sheep on my side who can survive bodaciously anything

Okay so in Sun and Moon

If you switch out your Pokemon but that Pokemon you are switching FROM gets knocked out by a Pursuit, it prompts you again to select the Pokemon to switch to.

I feel like this is isn't intentional?

Uh, like, M4A3E8 Sherman / Pz.Kpfw. Tiger Ausf. E / T-84-85 / TOG II* kind of a tank.
Also, I know Octillery is a tank (Remoraid is based off a gun), and I am a "he", FYI.

Challenged Elite Four with entire team at Level 61.
Beat Elite Four.

+1 Tapu Koko to the Legendary Collection
+1 Tapu Fini to the Legendary Collection
+1 Tapu Lele to the Legendary Collection
+1 Tapu Bulu to the Legendary Collection
I hate desert routes.

UBs to be captured in a few days. *throws confetti*

the legendary collection is a disturbing visualization of the last 12 years of my life
its every multiple of a legendary I have captured since I got Pokemon XD on the Gamecube, since that is when I started my habit of obsessively replaying the games, and since this was pre-Bank I used a Gen III file of something to store Pokemon, be it Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, XD, or Colosseum
so most of my collected pokemon are from Gen III games
These are all IN ADDITION to one of each being set aside to fill a place in a full, "living dex" collection.

i used to have many more Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno but I traded them away for more Cosmog. i like cosmog

pic of me:

also forgot to mention, will trade anything you see in those screenshots for a Diancie.

Im sure that when I finally snap those screenshots will be presented to the court as evidence

You do realise you can catch more Cosmog after you beat the game, right?

[Citation Needed] · **Posted:** Sat May 20, 2017 2:40 pm

Just the one, innit?
And i also traded some away for Type: Nulls and Silvallys

I have nothing but genuine respect for this collection. Seriously! It's so... massive!

Haha, thanks. I have a bunch of boxes of my level 100 Pokemon I've been collecting since Sapphire version. Just the ones I trained up, none of the max level event ones.

It's like 12% Blaziken and Espeon, because I have a bunch of each of those because they're both great and also Gen III (Blaziken started in Sapphire and Emerald, Espeon in Colosseum and XD)

also someone please trade me a Diancie I'm more agreeable to "unfair" trades than you would expect. Within reason.

In addition to starting Moon again (with a similar set of circumstances as CN earlier - traded in a bunch of team members in as lv. 1 and named them after people) I started a Nuzlocke. It's been an utter bloodbath.

Deaths:

- Biff the Bidoof: Spontaneously died when I realised he existed outside of Nuzlocke law because he was caught on the same route as my starter

Oreburgh Gym Massacre

- Alexander the Piplup (lv. 5 - 13)
- Gallahad the Machop (lv. 7 - 10)
- Gallahad the Geodude (lv. 6) - i get forgetful with nicknaming apparently

- Lester the Zubat (lv. 3 -

nothing else died until after I beat the Galactic building and got my bike. Then I lost pretty much just as many pokemon trying to level grind:

- Miles the Buizel (lv. 10 - 22)
- Carlos the Staravia (lv. 3 - 23)
- Vincent the Budew (lv. 3 - 23)
- Laurent the Buneary (lv. 11 - 23)

So now I'm trying to pick up the shambled hodgepodge of leftover pokemon and get them together to the point that they can handle Fantina. My current team is:

- Octavia (Shellos, lv. 25)
- Archie (Leafeon, lv. 24)
- Archibald (Meditite, lv. 25)
- Beatrice (Ponyta, lv. 25)
- Joan (Gastly, lv. 24)
- Donna (Onix, lv. 20)

Pray for me.

Download Magikarp Jump and proceed to cry when things go wrong.

And they will go wrong.
