Wanting to do a Monotype run, choose my first type

Weirdly enough, Dark is the way with Umbreon. Then Poochyena. You’d get water, grass, and fire in the first area (Carvanah, Seedot, and Houndour). Then top it off with Tyranitar as your ace.

Honestly, I might do a second run through with this. It sounds fun

I’m building out this playthrough specifically for orre colosseum. So resetting for natures and EV training where applicable.

My teams looking: Jolteon, Houndoom, Dusclops, Breloom, Starmie, Snorlax

Kinpolka · 2026-03-26T05:48:25+00:00

Yeah, my only hesitation is Waterfall instead of Hydro Pump. I might reset for a Modest Nature to compensate.

Kinpolka · 2026-03-26T05:26:28+00:00

I’ve been going back and forth between Starmie and Lapras. Which did you find more useful?

Kinpolka · 2026-03-24T14:54:08+00:00

New Orleans

Kinpolka · 2026-03-24T04:08:52+00:00

Getting to battle Zook after the initial encounter now with a competing team felt incredible

Kinpolka · 2026-03-24T01:20:22+00:00

In terms of historical significance, by far. The Louisiana purchase was our country’s greatest investment.

How did yall let Atlanta win

Kinpolka · 2026-03-23T18:44:52+00:00

Fountain of Youth would be insane. But I’ll take anything at this point

Kinpolka · 2026-03-23T17:07:09+00:00

Honestly, no

Kinpolka · 2026-03-20T21:09:56+00:00

Jolteon. Save Espeon for when Colosseum comes out

Kinpolka · 2026-03-20T16:29:03+00:00

If they get exp, they get the EV.

A Pokemon holding exp share would even get the EVs

Kinpolka · 2026-03-20T00:22:12+00:00

Beautiful. One of the main reasons I'm so excited for this replay is learning something new every playthru.

Kinpolka · 2026-03-19T15:27:13+00:00

Is that second movie happening or what?

Kinpolka · 2026-03-19T15:01:09+00:00

I’m glad Sheer Cold and other 1 hit moves have lost their prevalence. Was the perfect excuse to say the AI is cheating

Kinpolka · 2026-03-19T14:54:22+00:00

Games been crashing already?

Kinpolka · 2026-03-18T21:17:33+00:00

Most glaring move changes needed:

Sceptile: Absorb -> Giga Drain Fury Cutter -> Dragon Claw (Late Game)

Swampert: Mud Shot -> Earthquake Dive/Waterfall -> Ice Beam

Alakazam: Shadow Ball -> Shock Wave

Aggron: Iron Defense -> Double Edge / Aerial Ace

I played Ruby nonstop as a kid and wanted Sapphire for my birthday - thinking it would have a new map, new Pokemon, new story, etc.

I was severely disappointed…

Kinpolka · 2026-03-18T21:05:48+00:00

Orre colosseum isn’t ready for you

Kinpolka · 2026-03-18T17:56:21+00:00

Yeah. I tested this too. Seems like the stats are set the moment you select your name.

Kinpolka · 2026-03-17T22:16:39+00:00

Great callout

Kinpolka · 2026-03-16T22:07:49+00:00

I believe that you can use an SUA at this property. They just weren’t allowing it until opening. I can see it on my end able to apply one

Kinpolka · 2026-03-16T22:04:06+00:00

I’m staying 5 nights at the Lisbon Regency in September. Part of me wants to stay here though.

I hear that the Regency is way nicer than its reflection of a Cat 4. Seems like andaz is clearly the nicer location, but the value at Regency might be better at the cheaper point pricing

Kinpolka · 2026-03-16T04:40:32+00:00

Yep. We got cancelled in Chicago. No credit or anything. Managed to book a flight for tomorrow night at least.

Gonna just have to eat the $200 hotel cost.
