General Pokémon Discussion / Re: How do we feel about Norma...

Last post by wilbie - October 10, 2026, 07:49

notwithstanding its ineffectiveness to anything and lower type-related interactions they can have in battle, i feel like indifference is the most common reaction with a type name that's as bland as "normal" (oh, you mean uncategorised?) but it has its fair share of cool mons, just like every other type! i love audino and miltank and doduo and porygon2 and...

i would argue that definitionally the word 'normal' doesnt mean anything but when you start to categorise them enough it becomes more and more noticeable that normal types more often than other types resemble domestic/urban animals here on earth, which, to us, don't have special abilities or penchants for a more primal element, like fire or ground and so on. with that in mind, it becomes a bit easier to imagine one whose favourite type is normal, and what personality somebody with a propensity for that kind of mon would be like - even if game freak had no idea what they were doing, it develops a definition based on its constituents and that works too!

that being said, i do find normal types kinda boring....

General Pokémon Discussion / In Need Of TM12 Taunt - Rare P...

Last post by summermayflower - October 10, 2026, 02:43

Hey everyone!

I've recently run into an issue with respect to my tyranitar's set. i'm looking to make my max iv/ev trained "emo" learn taunt but i made a mistake in giving it to another pokemon of mine. my local video game store has done giveaways of (genned) rare pokemon in the past and i've ended up with a surplus. some of these pokemon include, but are not limited to shiny jirachi (lvl 5), celebi (lvl50), shiny mewtwo (lvl100), some (ungenned) heracrosses ive caught and (ungenned) volt tackle pichus ive raised in efforts to iv breed. i will check this thread periodically when availability provides, but in the meantime please drop your pal pad friend code and we can arrange something in the near future (hopefully) . my pal pad friend code's 4945-2482-2132. let's connect!

ps: bear in mind for the mewtwos i have extremely limited supply so they're first come first served.

Honestly, you're better off joining our Discord server. We are much more active there.

Ah, saw this thread the other day. Glad someone had some advice to give!

In my case, I only played White between the two (and it's been YEARS, lol) so I'm not sure what advice to give that'd be specifically helpful for Black... I mean, other than version exclusives, which is one of the easier things to look up. Of course, all this is contingent on what needs to be known in the first place!

Late to this, but Normal-types are underrated for how much personality they have. Snorlax was my comfort pick as a kid, and Ursaluna brought back that same "big wall that hits hard" energy. Also Bouffalant's afro absorbing headbutts is peak design. Agree on Miltank too, Whitney's still gives me flashbacks.

Nice, Black is a great first pick! A few things that would've helped me:

• You can only find new Unova Pokémon until the post-game, so don't wait around for old favorites. Just try the new ones.
• Pick whichever starter you like: the game hands you an elemental monkey early on that covers your starter's weakness for the first gym.
• Grab a Drilbur or Roggenrola if you can, they carry you through a lot.
• The story is actually one of the best in the series, so talk to N whenever you see him.

Have fun!

Hi everyone! Stumbled on this place while looking for old-school Pokémon forums and was happy to see it's still running. I've been playing since Gen 1 and these days I mostly collect the TCG, trying to fill binders by set. Looking forward to lurking and posting!
