My 5 Favourite Useless Pokemon

August 11, 2022August 5, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, useless

Let’s face it, not all Pokemon are equal. Or even close to equal in any way what so ever. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t love a Pokemon, if it isn’t very good. You can love a Pokemon no matter how useless they are. And here are some of the useless Pokemon I happen to love. Shiny Wurmple JUST LOOK AT IT! LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS! Okay, I’ll calm down. But honestly, I do very much like all the shiny low level bug types. They;re a big part of the beginning of any Pokemon game, being small and soft… [Continue Reading]

5 Pokemon that are Pretty Damn Useless in Pokemon GO

August 7, 2022August 2, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, useless

Not all Pokemon are equal. In fact, there’s a ton of inequality in these pocket monsters. On the one hand you have cute birds and little mice. On the other hand, you have terrifying monsters that can flood the entire world. These Pokemon, and every Pokemon between them, can be used by us to participate in battles and raids and things like that. However, there are some Pokemon that are different. They lack something that sets them apart from the rest of their species. Here are five Pokemon who are pretty damn useless in Pokemon GO. Party Hat Nidorino For… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon Camping is Fun

August 5, 2022July 29, 2022 Medic 0 Comments camping, pokemon, pokemon shield

In Pokemon Sword and Shield, you can go camping! At the start of the game, you are given a whole camping bag that contains all the stuff you need to pitch a tent and chill out with your Pokemon buddies. It’s actually a pretty cute little distraction, and adds a nice social aspect to the game. You can camp alone or with NPCs, let your Pokemon get some fresh air and do some cooking. And, unlike Dynamax raids, you don’t need to worry about a Solrock buffing itself 4 times before having its stats reset by the raid boss. It’s… [Continue Reading]

A Hall of Fame

July 31, 2022July 28, 2022 Medic 1 Comment hall of fame, pokemon, pokemon shield

I kinda realized that I didn’t really showcase the team I used in Pokemon Shield. Some Pokemon were permanent members, while others came and went, according to any upcoming gyms. For each new gym challenge, I swapped out Pokemon and leveled up Pokemon that were guaranteed to be super effective against the gym leaders. However, my final team was a bit different. After all, the gym leaders all focused on one type. And I could just pick Pokemon that were super-effective against their types. Leon and my rivals on the other hand all had much more diverse teams. So I… [Continue Reading]

Dynamax Raids are Weird

July 23, 2022July 14, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, pokemon shield

Funnily enough, the one thing I find closest to Pokemon GO in Pokemon Shield is the raid battle system. As in, both games have raids. That similarity is in name only though, because raid work differently in both games, and you can only solo some raids in Pokemon GO, not the majority of them in Pokemon Shield, and GO raids require a lot of tapping, while Shield/Sword raids require taking turns. You also have a timer on both. Pokemon GO has an obvious timer that ticks down, but Shield has a limited number of turns before you are kicked out.… [Continue Reading]

My Thoughts on Dynamaxing

July 22, 2022July 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments dynamax, mega pokemon, pokemon, pokemon shield

I never really got around to trying Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves. As far as I was always concerned, Z-Moves seemed boring to me, while Mega Evolutions looked fun and stupidly powerful. Then we have Dynamax, which, when I originally first saw it, looked like Mega Evolutions but worse. Your Pokemon gets all big, grows extra features and gets some cool moves in the process. The whole system is introduced in the first cutscene of the game, by a Gigantamax Charizard with wings made of fire. If you had shown me a picture of either of Charizard’s Mega forms alongside its… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 21 – Finale

July 19, 2022July 19, 2022 Medic 1 Comment Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time, pokemon, pokemon shield

Hop wants a fight, but I want to rest up and improve my team. After all, I’m still using the same team I used to beat Leon, and half my Pokemon needed a pick-me-up. But now I’ve healed up and switched a few Pokemon around, I’m happy to go. Time to head back to the Slumbering Weald, where Hop has been looking around, playing with his new Legendary buddy. So I head back to the Slumbering Weald and forget that Galarian Weezing hide in the grass around there. Luckily, to save walking through it all, Sonia is waiting for me,… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 20

So I’m the champion now, and most people recognize me as such. But for reasons I can’t explain, there are these two dorks that are doing stupid shit with Dynamax, trying to prove some bullshit about the two Legendary Pokemon who helped on the Darkest Day. And it all starts when I go and see the grave of said Pokemon. I end up running into Hop, who has the sword relic, while I have my shield relic. We have a quick battle (which Hop loses) but are interrupted by Sonia and two assholes. Seriously, these guys are massive twunts. They… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 19

It’s finally happening. I’m finally, finally going to face Leon. And blimey, the crowd is intense. This is going to be one hell of a fight. Especially since I have no idea what team Leon has built for me to fight against. I’m actually kinda nervous. After Leon spews out a powerful (but silent) speech about how amazing this challenge is, he finally starts the battle, summoning his first Pokemon, Aegislash. I do the same, summoning my Salazzle, Charm. Charm swiftly beats Aegislash after its second King’s Shield fails, succumbing to Flamethrower and dying in one hit. Leon’s next Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

Imagining Myself as a Pokemon Gym Leader

July 13, 2022July 6, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon

Having been working my way through Pokemon Shield, I’ve come to realize that there are a lot more Pokemon I both do and don’t like. From complete unknowns (and unowns) to Pokemon I now like more than ever before, I am finding that my table of favourite Pokemon has definitely been shaken up. And when it comes to talking to others about it, it’s insanely hard to pick even a number 1 now. However, we can spend all day discussing favourites when instead we can look at things in a more practical way. Why not put yourself in the shoes… [Continue Reading]
