Someone on the dev team was clearly trolling since it's well known the entire abra line has tissue-thin physical defense. I'd be amazed is this thing survived a physical hit long enough to actually use it.

Reminds me of this Reverend video going over the anomalies in Counter in RBY. He counter'd his own Explosion damage.
If I'm understanding this right, the opponent Alakazam went before him, and he exploded right afterward. This counted as the damage to him, from his opponent, and he used counter on that.
"Rental" 'mons have crappier moves with more evolution. Like Kadabra has Psychic, Counter, Dig, and Recover... and Alakazam has Psybeam, Tri Attack, Metronome, and Disable.
Still better moveset than that Alakazam has. Also back then a good moveset for Alakazam could be something like Reflect or Thunder Wave, Seismic Toss, Recover, and Psychic.
Speaking of the Abra evolutions, Abra's JP name is ケーシィ ("Kehshi"), after Edgar Cayce, that one guy who claimed to prophecy in a trance or while asleep -- hence why Abra is sleepy. Kadabra is ユンゲラー (Yungerah), named after Uri Geller (ユリ・ゲラー, which ユンゲラー closely resembles), who is that one guy who claimed to be able to bend spoons with telekinetic "psychic powers" (which James Randi famously debunked). Finally, Alakazam is フーディン (Fuudin). F in Japanese sounds more like an H, and so it sounds more like Hoodin for Houdini the famous escape artist. And Houdini, unlike previous 2 guys, undoubtedly had real ability and not claimed ability. BTW Geller didn't like Kadabra.
barging in to crosspost because I assume most frequent posters here are not aware of the separate favorite Pokémon thread and I want to share some cool resources for sharing favorites
I was comparing the Japanese Stadium movesets for rentals to the Battle Pass rentals. Pokemon Stadium still let Starmie with Recover, Thunderbolt, and Hydro Pump slip through. One of the best movesets you will see for a Battle Pass rental is this:
Battle Revolution came 10 years after Stadium with a far better movepool, wider pokemon selection, and the Physical/Special Split and yet it had less Pokemon and worse movesets.

If they made a Stadium 3, maybe they'd make the "rental" mons have totally random moves. Like a Lapras with Substitute, Helping Hand, Haze, and Whirlpool.

>Go to Mt. Ember

>Only Pokemon that knows a sleeping move is a Grass type My only other alternative, without training up a brand new team member is getting a Soundproof Pokemon and not let it faint. What a pain in the ass.
I don't think so. I think Ingrain works, if I recall. Just out of curiousity; how do you have Entei and Mt Ember? Are you doing a randomizer or rom hack? Or am I misremembering something.

I already dewoked Pokémon BW3 Genesis (and plan on doing so again once development of BW3 Genesis resumes) and Pokémon Emerald Seaglass. Dewoking Crystal Clear would only be a little harder, since he still did not release the source code.
Asides from that fix, I like all of the ways ShockSlayer extended the game.

I just want to say (again) that I hate that he replaced the E4 with his retarded friends. They don't even have type themed teams.
(I'd appreciate a dewoked CC btw)
I second wanting a dewoked CC. I've played the game a number of times and purposefully avoid the Elite Four because I just don't want to deal with that.
Didn't know this sort of stuff was in BW3 Genesis and Emerald Seaglass as well. Shame, I was saving it for my vacation. How bad is it exactly in Seaglass?

BW3 Genesis had a black protagonist and a black mother who is married, not o a man, bu to a lesbian eighbour. There is als one pædo-adjacent nursery aide and one ACAB-adjacent NPC. Moreover, both acks replace the 'Are you a boy, or are you a girl?' option with non-binary text. Thankfully, the rest of the games (or at least BW3 Genesis, which I hacked extensively) do not have any woke content.
I once dewoked both games by restoring the 'Are you a boy, or are you a girl?' messages while putting the mother and neighbour through reparative therapy, though I lef them black because African-Americans are a big minority in the US, plus there are already quite a few African-Americans in canon Unova, including Iris and Marshal. I even made a new revision, attached to this post, where I gave the black protagonist a black father later in the journey, though that version needs more modification. I at least attach the latest version of what I have made so far.
Aside from the dewoking, I:
fixed all of the glitches I could find, including one Game-Breaking Bug where the game tries to call Professor Elm's text about Pokérus
decapitalised the game
made saving faster
made healing faster
may have added Running Shoes?
Did you know about how the player could call the player's mother, related to certain areas? I plan on having the player's father call the player the same way. Moreover, I plan on having the mother and father suddenly appear after the Champion battle, they wanting to suppor the protagonist. I might even make an optional patch that makes everyone white again.
I also uploaded a dewoked version of Emerald Seaglass here:
The problem, is, once again, that I do not have access to the source code of Shockslayer's Crystal Clear. I could modify BW3 Genesis because its ource code is openly available and buildable, whereas Emerald Seaglass' woke content was just a few pieces of ext and can therefore b edited in a binary text editor, but I am not sure how I would be able to fix Shockslayer's Crystal Clear. Maybe I can manage through with some binary hacking tools, bu that would not be sure. Ideally, I would offer 3 patches: a general de-woking patch, an optional patch that turns all of the African-Americans back to normal, and an optional patch that restores the original Elite Four. If you cannot wai, then you can get an older, dewoked version from 4chan earlier in this thread.
By the by, Pokémon Brown has the non-binary character select, though I think that I could manage that with another binary text editor.

Then you wonder why the game didn't sell
It doesn't change the fact that this is your de-facto Stadium 3. You're never getting Stadium 4 or it's spiritual successor if one hasn't come out in nearly 20 years already, let it go.
