It will be once the event mons for Gen 6 are released.

And when Pokebank comes out.

Read this page; it probably has the info you're looking for.

YES

If people were to consider other people they battle online "rivals", who'd be yours?

If talking purely online, I'd say the girl I do ghost battles with: Sarah. If not just online, one of my IRL friends and I do a lot of Pokemon talk and battles together.

Funny thing, I find eerie similarities and differences between those two people and I. It's like they're both counterparts to me and vice versa. That's just cool. :3

Lucario's got strong moves, but 4X weakness to Ground.

No. Just the 2x. BTW, you'll want to go for Sludge Bomb on Gengar rather than Sludge Wave. IIRC the former is compatible.

More monotype Ghost funtimes:

RFNG-WWWW-WWW4-KKYH

GBJW-WWWW-WWW4-KKYZ

Addendum: If you're winning, keep doing what you're doing. It's working, after all. That's until you lose/get bored. Then you switch it up and try new things. Gotta have variety to prevent braindead boredom.

Take the victory for what it's worth. If you lose, look at why you lost and see how you can improve from it. If something you're doing isn't working, try something else with the same poke. Mix/match until you find your fit.

I'm still in for it but I don't want to have to have my type randomly selected. I can't build a team on short notice.

In other news, I'm curious if anybody has any Prankster Sableye they can lend me.

Yep.

Nope. I just want more Ghost types.

Ghosts need more love.

More NPCs need to use Mega Evos. That would be awesome.

My Gengar and Excadrill cannot take a hit. Maybe I should raise their defenses. Also, maybe get some other stats when needed.

Gengar's defenses aren't really salvageable. Focus on what it's good at: hitting stuff quickly and powerfully. Excadrill is...similar, I suppose.

Honestly, I think it should be banned to Ubers. It's ****ing broken.

Anything that can take a physical hit and abuse any of its rather common weaknesses says hi. Its rather paltry 81 attack stat doesn't do it much favors against things its STAB moves don't cover.

Also, there HAS to be a way to win without resorting to using ugly Pokemon.

There certainly is. Look at Togekiss, Mew, Shaymin, Eeveelutions, and some others. Just use what you want to use. It's just not everybody has the same mindset as you so they'll use Pokemon based on their merit in battle rather than looks. I go for a combination of the two, honestly. I look at its design and see if it appeals to me. If so, I look up some good ideas on how to use it. Sometimes I break this little code because the Pokemon itself is just too useful for me to not want to use it. For the most part, I have to like its design to use it. That's part of why I don't use my Talonflame in spite of it being perfect for the job. The other part is that I honestly found it underwhelming. Too frail and doesn't dish out enough damage against things that aren't hit super effective by its moves.

That whole deal with Weezing though is making me think if I should start using Garchomp as a wall breaker with Draco Meteor and the mega stone instead of a Choice Scarfed revenge killer (which is kinda moot this gen with all the priority moves running around) with Outrage.

That's what I use the Garchomp you gave me for. Draco Meteor/Fire Blast/Earthquake/Stone Edge is an amazing set for MegaChomp. It works great.

And Nook I have a Chimchar with Iron fist ability for ya for trade too.

Just hit me up whenever I'm online, okay?

It's a start.

I'm not Cyrus, then. :'3

You might however want to say that we're talking about a 2D Iori XIII here, just so people don't expect the KOF XIII sprited Iori like I did.

KOF 13's sprites are 2D, though. :V

Also, the ending made me want to cry, to be honest.

It made everybody want to cry. Everybody.

Nope.

 Exactly what I wanted you to think.

Or did you?

This happened.
