Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

The one with a piplup is an idiot. Why would you use a piplup against a pikachu? Idiot.

Piplup is secretly 50 levels higher.

Not very effective? Tell that to my one hit KO. (╯°□°)╯︵ |=(>:)=

You've never one-hit KOed a low level Pokemon with a wrong-type attack? When you visit a low level area where it works, it's silly to bother swapping out your Blastoise with high PP water moves just to KO a measly little lvl5 Bellsprout.

Yet Piplup is winning in the last panel...

Who's the idiot trainer now? XD

I think the stranger pokemon logic is how nobody really questions shit when, within the pokemon world, hundreds of new creatures just pop up out of nowhere and nobody acts the least bit surprised. It would kind of be like this:

Dude:"Hey, did you hear that they found this new animal?"

Me:"Oh yeah?"

Dude:"Yeah, they are called squirrels."

Me:"Squirrels, huh?"

Dude:"Yeah, guess there's, like, millions of 'em and they've been in the trees for thousands of years...never noticed 'em before."

Me:"Yeah, me neither. Crazy. I hope I can catch one, and it can grow rocket launchers if it fights Dave's cat enough times."

Dude:"Yeah, its pretty vunerable to fire from what I hear."

Me:"Thanks for the tip."

Or how about when your walking along boom exclamation point and next thing you know some sailors talking about a fish he's caught and he's trying to kick your ass, no concent no nothing it's next to pokemon rape...... I played yellow and red as a kid so I'm assuming thats how it still goes down

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

But they're not new. They're in regions, like in America we don't get any of that crazy Aussie shit, and the pokemon replace animals.

[–]WhatHappenedToMusic 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well I am no pokemon expert... but it may be that the new pokemon are simply native to the new region.

edit: it appears someone has already explained this...

Yeh it's not to the death the one problem with the franchise, hell you can't even "delete" them from your pc you have to set them free to the wild... You think if a cock fighter or dog fighter had an animal that was under performing that it would just set it free?

under achievers are used as practice kills for the up and comers, or are sold off.

NO! Not to the death. To the pain!.

Artist, I could only find this on his livejournal (hence no direct link to the comic itself).

Thought I recognised the art style as KC Green.

Fucking love everything he does.

Try out Comics Without Violence and Gun Show comics.

You know it's bad when your only respite from Skyrim spam is Pokemon. Can we get some Zelda too, or a Steam circlejerk? I'm dying here. Fuck EA, right guys?

...guys?

Does it bother anyone else, that the Water type pokemon is beating up the electric type pokemon? nop just my 12 year old insticts acting up

I'm pretty sure if I had immortal pets with super powers, I would train them and have them fight.

The real weird thing is when wild pokemon or team rocket are attacking you, why can't you just throw ALL the pokemon to fight back?

[–]Squidmaster 0 points1 point ago

Whenever someone challenges me to a battle, I like to add "let's make our animals fight" to the end of whatever they say. It always makes it a bunch more interesting. (e.g. I love my pokemon. They are so cute. Let's make them fight.)

You have to love Pokemon to find this buried so far down in the comments. But still, this shit belongs in r/pokemon.

First time I've laughed in a long time on Reddit. Upgoats.

[–]SpeciesUnknown -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

my first experience of pokemon was blue, traded a vcr for it :P Bought that magikarp off the stupid rip off guy, put it in day care, a lot of battles later and one painful level up on my own... BADASS Gyardos. LIKE A BOSS. when silver and gold came out, bought that for a fun holiday. Didnt care for its starter pokemon so i caught a hoot hoot, deposited the chikorita and had an awesome and to this day, undefeatable Noctowl. at this point i realise im rambling on but yeah, im a 21 year old who loves pokemon.
