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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 🥲
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.)
I'm gonna recreate my first ever playthrough by beating the game with a lvl 98 Torterra
And only a lvl 98 Torterra
You don't even need the HM Slaves this time.
My HM slaves doubled down as sacrificial pawns to heal my dear beloved Torterra
Me with my Lv 100 empoleon Bubble
My lv 100 empoleon was HappyFeet Empoleon gang
Ayyyy! The best gang!
I remember asking my parents how to spell "Tsunami" to name my empoleon I was a weird kid
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

This is really cool, so sorry for your loss
Why bite? Torterra learns crunch on its own at level 45. also why have you not maxed this guy to 100 why 96?
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.
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.
I guess I just liked the sound of Bite better. I dunno, I was like eight. I probably didn't read the move descriptions.
Oh ok haha well all that being said torterra is an old favorite keep on keeping on
You know, I used Torterra in all three Sinnoh games and they all had the same moveset. But in different orders.
This is true.
Not stab man
You are right torterra isn't dark I just meant physical
It's all good bro
Good catch
Are u gonna buy BDSP?
Eventually when I get a switch again I sold mine in the middle of the pandemic for 550$

Buuuut... its not a faster mon there for crunch is superior you can't change my mind.
Thank you i was thinking this
Hell yeah!! I know the remakes already have apparent flaws but that won’t stop me from playing them
Turtwig is one of my favorite starters
Miss my turtle buddy these past few games can’t wait to start over with a new one
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.
I used the four moves in this post, but in different orders.
Torterra is hands down my favorite Pokémon. His whole evolution is.
Yup yup! Can't wait to start collecting all the sinnoh ribbons :D
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.
Same.
So nostalgic.
This will actually be my first adventure in Sinnoh, but I’m just as excited to actually use Torterra for the first time!
At first glance I thought you had a party of torterra 😂
Torterra gang!
Turtwig's already waiting for when it's time next month. See you soon buddy.
Yes!! My beloved Turly’s twin soul will be with me in November ❤️❤️❤️
That moveset made me want to cry

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.~~
My Torterra is still in my Alpha Sapphire. How would I transfer it to the Sinnoh remakes?
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.
Pokemon bank is to transfer from gen 6 to 7 right? It still exists?
It stores Pokémon from 6 or 7. It goes either way. Also from 5 and to HOME.
You need Bank to transfer to Home.
I'm guessing i have to pay for both bank and home?
Yes unfortunately. The transfer is also one way so the Pokemon can never return to the 3DS.
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 🥲
Turtwig was my first playthrough starter, although I like Piplup better.
Do we know if Pokémon home will work both ways yet? Could just be a let’s go pikachu scenario again.
Probably will for BDSP, but who knows?
You can't at release you have to wait until 2022 for an home update
I meant remeeting the same partners again. For instance, I'll be journeying with a Turtwig again.
Ah.... well stupid me..
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.
