Its mine as well, as well as my favorite Electric type. I always thought Electrike was the coolest thing back when I played Emerald which was my first pokemon game.

Emerald was... first... O.O

(cries feeling old)

I actually wasn't a huge fan until this gen. It's stance in 3d is awesome looking. And intimidate on the best volt switch user in the game just rounds it out. It's probably the mega with the least extra nonsense added.

Emerald first... I distinctly remember a time without Pokemon altogether.

It's worse when one's first game was B&W or even XY lol

We could add a non-mega set? I kinda like the Switcheroo Choice set with Volt Switch, Overheat and HP grass/ice. Call it BW nostalgia.

Can't that be the same Pokemon? And ice for boltbeam.

Well I've been aware of it for a while by the time I got Emerald but it took me a long time for me to get a Gameboy Advance SP. Before that all we had was the SNES and the Play Station which I still have today.

I think I remember that... I mean, I was alive before Pokemon, but isn't that time referred to as the dark ages? The memories I have are sort of fogged... corrupted until Pokemon Red showed me the light. (Credits Lord Helix)

Suddenly realizes my SNES broke... and I'm sad

Dont really see HP Grass being as useful w/ HP Ice to warrant a second set. Not being able to get past Dragons with that speed and Intimidate is just very sad and kinda kills its coverage to only hit something like Quagsire making me think its not worth it for its case.

Kirby's pinball land and Tom and Jerry on the original game boy. Later on I added Mario baseball.

Nostalgia running free here lol

First game I got for the gameboy was some Crash Bandicoot+Spyro crossover game. Forgot what it was called. Dont have it today either as I often did game trading with a friend whenever I finished a game.

I think Emerald was the 3rd game I got for it.

4 double A batteries to run that thing.

batteries were my biggest enemy lol

But I want both the Mega and the Switcheroo set... I can't make both with just one pokemon XD
Also I tend to have a preference for grass because of the rock/ground types (that can often be OHKOed by grass while ice only 2HKOes) and the water/ground types. With 2 attacks, bolt-beam is better, but with 3 attacks, i think electric-fire-grass is better. So if we make a 2nd set for the non mega we can make it HP grass and everyone is happy!

(searching house for childhood memories) lol

True, I like that idea mademoiselle,plus we can get HP grass mega if we want. I'm in, same set, just with HP grass.

Same set, just with HP grass, and also either choice scarf or choice specs instead of Manectite. I'd say choice specs I think.

I like the idea of having both options too

Well I dont see Grass being useful in OU with the rarity of Rock types and STAB Thunderbolt hitting harder than a SE one(meaning Water/Ground or the almost non-existent Rock/Ground are the only things I can come up with that it hits harder or at all). At the same time the abundance of Dragons and the Ground/Flying types and Smogon being Smogon making Mega Manectric OU means Manectric non-mega is also OU (makes alot of sense rite?) but if you guys want HP Grass I can probably breed one. It'll have the same EMs as the first though.

Rock still probably should resist electric at the very least... and Ice should be super effective against Rock... not ground... we are too set in now to change things to make them right .

It's ok, those egg moves are perfect.

And HP grass is indeed a lot more useful in UU, but since in OU everyone expects you to have HP ice, you can surprise them with a HP grass kill when they least expect it
(And most people don't send in pokes that are weak to ice, since they expect you to have HP ice)

And there are other rules than Smogon's, so if I happen to play a UU match where non-mega Manectric is allowed (or if Smogon changes its rules to make them less stupid XD), I'll be glad I have it

Non-mega Manectric is also OU, removing the Megastone wont change its tier when I brought up the issue with Mawile on Smogon. So in tier play you'll never see Manectric in UU sadly.

Though I'll still breed it just saying I'll probably stick to my nice HP Ice shiny.

Sad though I know. I really wish I can bring the amazingness of Mawile to the lower tiers

Re-read what I said XD

=> "There are other rules than Smogon's" (i.e. maybe some tournaments will use better rules, where only the stone is banned, not the pokemon)

=> "Or if Smogon changes its rules to make them less stupid XD" (i.e. if they end up deciding to ban only the stone instead of the pokemon at some point... which is far from impossible, since Smogon tiers tend to change a lot)

I think "other than Smogon" and "better" are one and the same, so no qualification needed

Ikr? I still can't believe they completely banned Swagger. Just when Mandibuzz becomes good, they go and ruin it.

Alright its been 2 days, time to start on this thing. I should be finishing this very shortly.

Already finished these, the HP Ice one is Male and the HP Grass one is Female so you guys can tell the difference better.

Please arrange for a cloner to collect your pokemon at your nearest convenience. We wanna keep things moving along! Thanks very much.
