AWKWARD ZOMBIE

So my sister came over yesterday to visit her nephew, and while she had the great idea to bring along our almost-dead-Nintendo-64 which we played some Pokemon Stadium 2, and 1. Mainly mini games, though, because she breaks me at everything else.

Anyway, we had never gotten around to beating the Elite-4 when we were young(er) and dedcided to do so now. We started off at Stadium, got up to Lance, and was crushed by the most overpowered move in history.

Wrap.

It didn't miss.

It didn't even hit itself in confusion.

Not once did it fail.

So in the end, we were demoralized and turned the game of at that instance.

So why didn't you just switch out? Or use a ghost Pokemon?

Also, if it was Red/Blue/Yellow, I would've advised Hyper Beam. See, in those games, Wrap had a major bug whereby if wrap is used on the turn a Hyper Beam is recharging, but misses... the other Pokemon automatically uses a second Hyper Beam! Oh, and if that means that the PP of the move normally goes below 0... it goes to 63! Fun!
Or you could just switch Pokemon. Every time you switch Pokemon, the next one still gets attacked, but Wrap loses a PP. Just as long as you accidentally get it below 0, the opponent will run out pretty soon. In Stadium though, switching out of Wrap cancels its effect.

Oh yeah, and of course that was all only in Gen1. Gen2 onwards removed its dastardly "You can't attack. Ever!" effect.

I think you forget just how bad the computer cheats in Stadium.

They don't even pretend to be following the rules.

I've watched my own 95% accuracy attack miss a dozen times in a row. I've watched the computer oneshot my entire party with one of those instant kill 10% accuracy moves. And then proceed to do it again several times in a row.

Blegh

Basically, Lance had only 1 pokemon left, we had 2 left. Or, rather, 1.2 left, considering how much damage had been done. Our remaining pokemon was a Gengar, on very low health, and a Chansey on full health. We had no idea that the opposition's Dragonair had (w)rap(pin' skills) and had killed the Gengar as soon as it arrived.

THEN GUESS WHAT HAPPENED

Somehow I missed this message until now. Add me on steam so we can talk in real time. If you don't have Steam, get it or suggest a different way for us to communicate.

Oh, but that involves me downloading unnecessary software on my already slow computer.
So you don't have MSN? If you don't I think E-mail (or PMs) will work just fine.

That's kind of going to be a pain, but if you insist, we'll use PMs. I don't have MSN.

Better idea: Add me to MSNmessenger (dplasma@eircom.net) and I'll trade you a Piplup forit. Then I trade it with Zink for something (*cough*Kecleon*ahem*)

That sounds like a good idea actually, what do you think Plasma?

I also have a Kacleon by the way.

What? No, I think its a god-awful idea of mine! Blech! Trading with you? No way!





[tip: that was sarcasm]

I'm okay with that idea.

DISCUSS.

I actually meant Zink since it was you who gave the idea in the first place. My bad.

Alright, I'll add you.
Zink and I are logging on at 12:00 P.M. tomorrow anyway.

Yeah... to cut out the witty smarm, you forgot to say WHICH 12:00 PM you meant!

what team's he on..? ;D
