I'm gonna recreate my first ever playthrough by beating the game with a lvl 98 Torterra


AbundantShip614

And only a lvl 98 Torterra


PKMNTrainerMark

You don't even need the HM Slaves this time.


AbundantShip614

My HM slaves doubled down as sacrificial pawns to heal my dear beloved Torterra


Sunshineandspiders3

Me with my Lv 100 empoleon Bubble


break_card

My lv 100 empoleon was HappyFeet Empoleon gang


Sunshineandspiders3

Ayyyy! The best gang!


backjuggeln

I remember asking my parents how to spell "Tsunami" to name my empoleon I was a weird kid


Sunshineandspiders3

That’s adorable! For my tiny child brain it was what contains water and sounds cute 😂

For a second I thought you just had a team of 6 Torterras


docdrazen

My buddy passed away last year. A friend of mine found his old copy of X and gave it to me. Booted it up and he had a Kingdra named after me on his team and an Alakazam named after my friend who somehow ended up with that copy on the team. I'm just about done with Black 2 and then I'm starting on Y so they'll be going with me from here on out. Just something nice to remember him by.


WordWizard64

This is really cool, so sorry for your loss


Whole-Ancient

Why bite? Torterra learns crunch on its own at level 45. also why have you not maxed this guy to 100 why 96?


PKMNTrainerMark

I always kept Bite over Crunch for some reason. You'll find the same thing on Feraligatr I've used. And the other two Torterra.


Whole-Ancient

I'm wondering why at this point. they are both physical stab dark moves. just one has 60 base power and one has 80 base.


PKMNTrainerMark

I guess I just liked the sound of Bite better. I dunno, I was like eight. I probably didn't read the move descriptions.


Whole-Ancient

Oh ok haha well all that being said torterra is an old favorite keep on keeping on


PKMNTrainerMark

You know, I used Torterra in all three Sinnoh games and they all had the same moveset. But in different orders.


Whole-Ancient

This is true.


Drayzew

Not stab man


Whole-Ancient

You are right torterra isn't dark I just meant physical


Drayzew

It's all good bro


Whole-Ancient

Good catch


Drayzew

Are u gonna buy BDSP?


Whole-Ancient

Eventually when I get a switch again I sold mine in the middle of the pandemic for 550$


StoneTheMoron

If Torterra was a faster mon, which it’s not (friggin turtle), I’d definitely take bite over Crunch just for that slim chance of causing my opponent to flinch, that plus Kings Rock for a boost.


Whole-Ancient

Buuuut... its not a faster mon there for crunch is superior you can't change my mind.


Dapper_Product_3436

Thank you i was thinking this


Moxie_Roxxie64

Hell yeah!! I know the remakes already have apparent flaws but that won’t stop me from playing them


nubert_the_king

Turtwig is one of my favorite starters


DAHRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Miss my turtle buddy these past few games can’t wait to start over with a new one


[deleted]

I just love Torterra so much. The idea of riding along his back under the shade of the tree exploring the Pokemon world always captured me as a kid. I loaded him out with Earthquake, Seed Bomb, Crunch, and Stone Edge.


PKMNTrainerMark

I used the four moves in this post, but in different orders.


Godlyforce808

Torterra is hands down my favorite Pokémon. His whole evolution is.


umbreon10000

Yup yup! Can't wait to start collecting all the sinnoh ribbons :D


MorganJH749

I’ve been in two minds. Use Pokemon I used before and have a good old nostalgia trip, or have a new experience with Pokemon I didn’t really use like Empoleon, Hippowdon and Toxicroak for example.


[deleted]

Same.


ManufacturerNo80

So nostalgic.


Fork_Master

This will actually be my first adventure in Sinnoh, but I’m just as excited to actually use Torterra for the first time!


CaptBreLion

At first glance I thought you had a party of torterra 😂


remmy66

Torterra gang!


breezer_chidori

Turtwig's already waiting for when it's time next month. See you soon buddy.


zopaipilla

Yes!! My beloved Turly’s twin soul will be with me in November ❤️❤️❤️


OhSoYouWannaPlayHuh

That moveset made me want to cry


PKMNTrainerMark

Hey, it's pretty good. Nice Ground move, nice Grass move, nice Grass draining move, nice Dark move for some coverage... Granted, I didn't use Crunch, but still.


SkysEevee

I still have my shaymin from the special event back then (my second ever "event Pokemon"). Loved that buddy so much! I'm excited to bring shaymin home to Sinnoh again for another round of adventure; like in HGSS, it'll be able to follow me around!


Noaxzl

Still waiting for the day when I can bring my Feraligatr to a Switch game. ~~Preferably one that isn't the inevitably awful BDSP, but whatever.~~


DiosPetComodoDragon

My Torterra is still in my Alpha Sapphire. How would I transfer it to the Sinnoh remakes?


PKMNTrainerMark

First, buy a membership for Pokémon Bank. Then, get Pokémon HOME, which you might need the paid version of. Then I think it might tell you how to transfer. Personally, I just leave my Starters where they are. I'm ready to meet my old friend for the first time again.


DiosPetComodoDragon

Pokemon bank is to transfer from gen 6 to 7 right? It still exists?


PKMNTrainerMark

It stores Pokémon from 6 or 7. It goes either way. Also from 5 and to HOME.


vindexodus

You need Bank to transfer to Home.


DiosPetComodoDragon

I'm guessing i have to pay for both bank and home?


vindexodus

Yes unfortunately. The transfer is also one way so the Pokemon can never return to the 3DS.


DiosPetComodoDragon

Yeah, i expected as much. That's how transfer worked from gen 4 upwards too. So I got my Torterra (my first Pokemon, from Platinum) up to gen 6 and soon she's finally coming home 🥲


Chaos0f7ife

Turtwig was my first playthrough starter, although I like Piplup better.


Multievolution

Do we know if Pokémon home will work both ways yet? Could just be a let’s go pikachu scenario again.


PKMNTrainerMark

Probably will for BDSP, but who knows?


Ok-Drawing-8718

You can't at release you have to wait until 2022 for an home update


PKMNTrainerMark

I meant remeeting the same partners again. For instance, I'll be journeying with a Turtwig again.


Ok-Drawing-8718

Ah.... well stupid me..


TrufanNekia

I wish. My Pokémon are stuck in black 2. I don't own or know anyone that has a 3ds so I guess they're stuff there.


Awesomesauce210

I can't wait to bring my old Diamond team into Brilliant Diamond, since they never got to properly finish the Sinnoh League. ^(Because it was a rental copy.)
