I wanna get it but then I won't have my old pokemon, I'm sorta torn, Who else has felt like this with previous Pokemon games?
I think most of us, specially during the GBC-GBA transition, man, that sucked.
I never had a lapras before, and I love it too much to give it up...

That's not true. I'm rather sure that Pal Park allows you to catch the Pokemon that you had from your GBA
Pokemon cartridges, including Legendaries.
But the game is made of win. ^_^
I';m talking about my diamond pokemon.
I don't wanna lose my lapras.
Darn nicknames got me too attached!
Oh. Well, do you know anyone who has another DS that you can use to trade all your old Pokemon to Platinum?
I'm torn on leaving behind my awesome Dragonite.
I could, but then I gotta go buy the game and...
Hmm...well, we could trade from a distance and I'd trade it back to your platinum account...
Maybe.
I really like my black trainer card too.
Quote from: Shika on March 23, 2009, 03:05:57 PM
Hmm...well, we could trade from a distance and I'd trade it back to your platinum account...
Yeah, I was thinking if I ever got Platinum, I'd arrange a meeting or two with MasterKey so I can use him as a middleman for moving my Pokemon from Diamond to Platinum.
Or, if you get a DSi and plan on keeping your DS (Lite), you could just make the trades yourself.
I have it
Then post your Friend Code, darn it! DX
I'll post mine when I get it back. ::)

Is it any good?

i herd u liek mudkipz/Pokemon memes
...
GF...
You make me laugh too hard. My brain is asploding out my ears.
But yeah, should I go get the game?
YES. DO IT. NAO.
Seriously, it's a great game. :D
But what about the DS-i and the fact that the new Zelda will undoubtably be DS-i only...
I'm so torn...
*Sigh*
I guess I'm going to have to put off getting that cool zelda figurine until I get a DSi and the games I want...
I'm thinking about getting Pokemon Platinummmm.
I love WiFi game.s
I want platinum cause how awesome the stinking 3-d is.

I want platinum cause how awesome the stinking 3-d is.
I didn't know it was 3D?
Parts of it are travel in 3D with your sprite...
Especially Giratina's place.
I'm just going to break down and buy it several months from now.
-just recently got Diamond-
Diamond is great.
I think I'll let the price go down a bit too.
Pearl's the way to go, dialga sucks anus
Tch Dialga has a hyper beam-esque move, what's palkia got?
A lame 60 power move.
(http://fc18.deviantart.com/fs41/f/2009/046/4/b/dialga_v__sudowoodo_by_negativezerro.png)
See that is why Dialga is so Pwnful.
Steel dragon is like the worlds best combo.
Speaking of which I'm gonna play my Diamond.
I just noticed this...
The first Generation had 5 legendaries
The Second Generation had 6 Legendaries
The Third Generation had 10 Legendaries
and the fourth generation has...
15 Legendaries.
This is getting out of hand...
Hey, don't diss the Legendaries. They be awesome.
Well the Exotics (the canonical name) are more of a trophy than a competetion pokemon, You can't use them in standard competitions and the only thing they're good for is showing off.
That's why they're really there.
And HnS you wanna know awesome tyranitar is awesome.
Yeah but it just seems like they put more effort into designing the legendaries than they did in designing all the other pokemon in the current generation.
I'd hate to see how many legendaries the fifth generation will have...
what will they be the legends of?
they have wind, water, ice, thunder, fire, reincarnation, life and death, time and space, the ocean, the land, the sky, the grass, darkness, night, day, every human emotion AND god itself.
Yeah, this Generaltion was pretty pitiful with the forms and...
Wait you counted Rotom as An Exotic, Rotom is not an Exotic pokemon. Sure you only catch one but it isn't classified as an Exotic, and I'm not talking about in Uber/standard style, it just isn't classified as Celebi and stuff.
But yeah I hope they don't put in more Exotics.
Here's hoping they base a pokemon around LSD.
It's Japan, Expect anything, but seeing how it's an E rated game I doubt it.

What? If you're talking to Fisk, Zapdos and Raikou are both Electric types.
No It's just that Rotom was even released as a non Legendary pokemon.
technically speaking, only a few of them are legendaries. heatran just can't breed- it has a gender, which means that there is more than one, and rotom, as chuck said, is just a singly available pokemon.
Latios, Latias, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are also not one-of's... in the pokedex, it says that the beasts emerge when lightning falls to earth, a volcano erupts, and something else for ribbon-butt.
and yeah, the 4th gen. sucked. except for a select few. Hippopotas makes me want to punt babies.
AND THEY DO NEED TO MAKE DRUG POKEMON.
bronzbong's special ability would be truant. and it would know the special move "munchies" which would give it the leftovers food effect for 5 turns.
Yeah Fisk I whole heartedly agree with you.
And you made me Lol so hard.
GUISE.
We should have, like, a party tonight at, say, 8:00 EST (7:00 CST; 6:00 MST; 5:00 PST). It does have voice chat... ;) :D
Who will join me!?
I will. :)
But how? I haven't used the wireless (having nobody to use it with), and I'm too lazy to figure it out.
Oh, and my pokemon are only like, levels 36 and 37. I just beat the... 5th gym? With wake.
Have party one Platinum or Pokemon altogether?
Cause if its that soon I'll need to figure out how to get the Interwebs to work on it.
*darnfirewallsontheinternethereandican'tdoanythingaboutit...*
Platinum can do Wi-fi things that the other games can't...
Good luck, though.
I think that the other ones have Voice chat...
Gah! I hate being behind on this...
GAH! I hate lacking money...

I assume you have regular wireless Internet? If so, what you do is that at the menu where you're prompted to start a new game or continue your current one, follow the breadcrumbs: Nintendo WFC Settings >> Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings >> Connection 1/2/3 >> Search for an Access Point. The rest I can't really help with because I'm stuck with a USB Connector, another option on the list.
And don't worry too much; I beat the eighth gym today, but we could make Poffins or something. Chatting is fun, too, I guess, right? I'd like to see how it works. ^^
Well do you and me wanna see if it works from D to P?
Oh yeah rhymes for the win.

No, I have the internet set up on Platinum, but how do I connect with you?
Friend codes? But then It'll only be 2 people. So how do we get to each other in that Wi-fi plaza, is what I meant.
Oh, and can my little brother come too?
Oh yeah, over the internet it's only two people.
We're going to have to do some quick checks of multiple things...
It seems to me that we just need to connect to Nintendo WFC at the center desk in the basement of any Pokemon Center. It hints that multiple people can be connected at the same time, hence the Double/Multi Battle options.
But yes, we do need Friend Codes.
Well Mags I have your entered in already, if you get on and invite me we could see if we can.
Wheres ur code brah?
And are we doing it now, or at 8?
Well, you wanna do it now? 'Cause I can, I think. Your little brother may come, too, by the way. :D
And yes, where's your FC, Chuck? D:
linkdragon0
Pokemon Diamond: 0473-7078-9220 (Roy)
in case anyone else cares it can also be found it the FC topic.
If no one looks why do we have it?
So, I think we should go to the plaza. (The one on the left in the basement of the pokemon Center.)
Okey dokey, lemme just leave the thing I'm in.
I don't have your code FR i'm gonna have to get it.
Oh, we do check. I kind of forgot your original name, sorry. ^^;
But I will add you right away.
The Plaza doesn't have voice chat, though, Fishy...right? Shouldn't we try the Wi-Fi Club?
Yeah, and the plaza is chaos. We won't be able to find each otheer there.
So person on the right it is...
And I don't think there is a difference between the two on D/Pearl.
Do you think connecting will work?
I mean Crystal connected to gold/silver, but then again they didn't have Wifi
Well, you're name's coming up, but we can't see or communicate with you.
hmmm....
It says you're both in voice chat My Voice caht is on...
And I cannot connect.
Darnit...
Okay it worked, I had to get off cause everyone got home.
HOLY CRAP THE VOICE CHAT WORKS THIS IS SO FREAKING AWESOME ;D
Chuck, we're waiting for another Poffin cook. ;)
THAT IS SO AWESOME!
BE right there gotta fly to poffin house.
Sorry thought I had to be at poffin house.
Sorry, I'm not using a mic I'm using the DS' mic.
Also, Mags your voice is still sexy. ^_^
Anyway says you're both on standby.
Also my internet stinks real bad.
And I suddenly have an earge to battle mags.
Battle me or Fishy? I'd like to battle, if that's the case. Hopefully, Fishy won't be bored during that time.
Well I wanna battle you, maybe fishy next.
But definately you.
What will rules be?
Yeah, there isn't a, like... spectator mode.
Whatevs.
YOur next.
Just wait.
Oh wait. I could get my little brother, and we could have a 2 on 2...
But we'd all have to enter his code, and he'd have to enter all of ours.
hmm...
Yeah.
We could do that.
Darn it, sorry mags lost connection.
Wow Guys that is quite the battle.
Is someone packing full revives?
Wait, were you watching the battle? 0o
And sorry, Fishy; I don't know what happened, but evidently, we were disconnected.
No i wasn't but it says you're in battle.
And were you packing Revives?
I knew it!
GAH!
You can't use items in a battle, can you? Hmm...I wonder... ;)
:P
I must get this game now!! :(
Wait...
You guys are still battling...
WHY!?!??
We're not battling right now. I'm not sure where he is at this moment. >.>
Lol
Stop.
I feel jealous.
[/sadness]
I'mma look the game up.
Well it says you are.
I wanna finish our previous battle my internet crapped out.
I'm gonna stop before I spam. o_____O

We got disconnected, but sorry I disappeared afterwards.
This game is so freakin awesome! I love how it keeps surprising me, with things like voice chat, minigames, and the new order of the gyms and stuff like that! ;D
Truuuuuuuue....
Well, I guess I can't really talk about it since I don't...have, it...yeah.
so mags and fr have platinum?

Go to the victory road area with water and run around for a while get a lapras.
Rawr, I don't like how it doesn't show each Pokemon.
And it doens't have enough detail.
D:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I think I gaveaway my Colosseum...
I deleted my Colosseum game file. Was taking too much space on the memory card. I don't really have any intention of playing another pokemon game.
I liked colusseum, not sure about those XD ones.
They were too boring...

Omg the nostalgia!! *criez*
Anyway *clears throat*
If it has voice chat then yay!
...Though I'd never use it... >.>
You'd use it to talk to people you battle online.
Jes jes, but I'm too shy.
I won't talk unless no one's home cept my bro or my sister or cousin is over.
Yehs I know what you mean.
I almost got in trouble but I explained I know you guys well..
At least I think.
Well, that would explain the deep-voiced shouting in the background... ;)

Case in point when I used Earthquake on your Luxray and Empoleon.
With my Flygon.
At least they survived the first one. :P
But that doesn't include the second one, of course... >.>
I would won if it wasn't for that d/c.
Also, that Giratina, Stinks you couldn't use origin forme or I'd be toast.

Trust me, some guy sends out a Mew with all one hit Ko's
You'll be WT-BOOOOOM! before you know it.

All the more reason to get it!

Yeah, I wonder why Origin Forme won't work. What the heck? 0.o
Just PM me if you want the weird picture.
It's cause I don't have it, the sprite isn't in my game.
For me, it doesn't work, either. Oddly, after I caught it, it changed back to its first forme.
I'll check Serebii.
They have everything.
Okay take off Platinum orb or put it on it.
Thats how.
Yep you heard me, I got me a pokemon Platinum, now if only someone would help me trade over all my good pokemon...
dude, I could totally help. give me your friend code, I'll give you mine, and I'll give you a trash team on your D/P game while I hold your babies. and then I'll trade them back.
... -wants to battle-
Wanna Pokemon it up with me, Fisk...? *gives the lip*
After I finish trading with Chuck here, sure! my pokemon are mid-50 I think.
W00t! ^_^
My Pokemon are around the same level, too. Actually, they're more like in the early fifties, but eh, the levels are adjusted automatically.
Plus, voice chat! :D
Gah, I'm really tempted to spend my money Thursday for this game D:
I'm done now, and I sent you a PM with my code & name. whenever you wanna fight... ;3

Ok, I must love you guys or something 'cause I bought it today.
A friend of ours who works there told me of a secret hiding one, it has bonus stuff in it and it was for teh same price ;D
All right, awesome! Now just get your Friend Code up. ;)
Post your FC when you get it.
Or PM me.
Yeah I posted, it's for important reasons, I'm still watching you all you know.
I will, I will ;)
Don't worry :P
I just need to get a Pokemanz
Hey, Message me on AIM soon too, BTW there is a really cool thing that you get when you complete the sinnoh dex and go to battle/survival/resort area. Mainly Resort.
XPPPP
okai
Chuck what lvl is your Pokemon?
Okay...
Torterra-Groll:100
Lapras-Lara:100
Luxray-Luxa:100
Pidgeot-Pidge:100
Tyrannitar-Tira:70
Infernape-Bakatarou:82
I have more level 100's but I like these guys the best.
BTW guys the elite four gets much harder the more you fight them, Especially Cynthia, on this game, with that team I barely made it through my third time.
This game is finally starting to use the strategies it beats into your mind the entire game.
>.>
...Mine's only a 6...lol
I guess I gotta train hard, ne? xD
Don't worry it'll get stronger in time, Who'd you choose by the way?
You will actually start to become attached to that pokemon, You won't notice it until you almost lost it somehow.
Like getting a new one and almost losing your file.
My team are like my babies.
Haha XP
I chose Piplup :D
It's bluuuue
When did Platinum come out, btw?
Not long ago. Thinking bout a month.
Ahh, no wonder my AR doesn't have it.
My AR doesn't work. XP
Fisk and TP Zelda, can we have your friend codes?
HAX!
Gosh don't cheat.
I'll give you some Powerful pokemon.
They probably won't listen to you.
Pokemon is no fun with cheats.
Doesn't let you bond with them

Made a nice choice for the starter, will make your first gym easier.
Who, me?
Or FR? XD
Me, you, and Mags all chose Piplup, so...
Oh, sweet. :P
Haha, so is Chuck the loner?
Well then, looks like I can beat you all.
Final Evolves reverse the weakness circle.
Infernape's speed+close combat+steel weak to fight=win.
Quote from: TP Zelda on April 05, 2009, 05:12:30 PM
Oh, sweet. :P
Haha, so is Chuck the loner?
Yeah, i picked piplup too.
I could still beat you.
I would too but it's too late and you'll have to wait till i get internet again.
You assume we don't have trump cards. Those in the Piplup line aren't our only Pokemon, you know. ;)
EDIT: Oh, and hey, I kind of need someone to trade my Magmar over. I'd like him to evolve and get a buff, preferably a defense buff. Help, please? ^^;
Uhmmm should I PM my code or just post it here/
AhahahahXDD I guess you really like Magmar?
EDIT: No, wait, don't answer that. Stupid question lol
What do you mean, btw? o.o;;

Fishy, that sounds...weird. Put a t in there.
Mah eyes are burning but I can't stop playing XD
Alright, I finally beat the Elite Four, have the National Pokedex and all that. So if anyone needs me to do something or wants to battle or something...well, I've got a decent team around level 50, so yeah. I still don't know exactly what I can do now that I have Battle Island and Pal Park and all that, I'll be exploring.
W00t! :D
I assume you have your code up, then?
My code is indeed already up there.
And now that I've beaten the Elite Four, I've finally gotten some motivation to actually train my pokemon.
>.>
I wanna beat the Elite 4...
Wow, you guys have been busy, Well I'n back and willing to do stuff on this, I'm training my secondary team so any IV battles will help too.
AND BIG NEEEEEEWWWWS FOR US PLATINUM PLAYERS!
Secret Key coming to North America
Canada got news of the Key first, but now it has been revealed that the entire of North America can get hold of this event item as well, as it has now been released via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection as well as at Toys 'R' Us stores across the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Wi-Fi distribution is being held from April 20th until May 12th, and the Toys 'R' Us stores are holding events from April 19th to April 26th. This is a Platinum-only event, so players of Diamond/Pearl will not be able to acquire the Secret Key unless they have a copy of Pokemon Platinum.
Unlike other events, the Wonder Card that is received from this event can be sent over to other players, allowing them to get the Secret Key even if they are unable to attend an event or get the Secret Key via Wi-Fi.
More information regarding Rotom and the Secret Key can be found on Pokemon's official Platinum website at: http://www.pokemonplatinum.com/#/pokemon/rotom/
Big thanks to Pokecharms for letting me (not really) steal this.
my version of platinum allows rotom to evolve into a lawn mower
This is the key to the Galatic building to unlock all the different forms of Rotom, Cut, spin, wash, heat, and cold.
It's coming up soon so be ready.
Oh yeah who else here breeds there pokemon to get better base pokemon and stuff.
I do, My mudkipz own.
"Base" Pokemon? Clarification, please?
Base, AS in personality, and egg moves, My mudkip started with dig, blizzard, and Ice beam.
Cut Blizzard out, it's redundant with the far more accurate Ice Beam.
I only have it at lvl 9, still training it. I will cut it out for something more... Water-typed.
Say... Roy, what's your team and their moveset?
My current team or my good one?
Sceptile:
Leafblade
Rock CLimb
Cut
Leaf Storm
Pidgeot:
Air Slash
Fly
Defog
Giga Impact
Typhlosion:
Eruption
Fire Blast
Focus Blast
Rock Climb
Lapras:
Waterfall
Surf
Sheer Cold
Thunder
Raichu (Subject to Change):
Thunder
Thunderbolt
Rock Smash
Strength
Ariados (Subject to change):
Agility
Pin Missile
Psychic
Poison Jab
Okay... now how about your regular team?
And how the **** did you get the Second-Generation starters?
That is my Regular team.
And it's called leaf green, try finishing the pokedex.
Current team
Torchic(Nicked Chuck lvl 9):
Scratch
Growl

I have all the starters Legitimately BTW.
But how? Unless you played Pokemon Colosseum?
There's no way to get the second generation starters (that I know of) from the First Generation remakes.
Of course I played colusseum.
Didn't enjoy it but I did it.
Who here didn't like nicknaming their pokemon but then changed their mind?
I deleted my Colosseum file. It was taking too much space...
I sure hope I remembered to transfer the second generation starters to Fire Red or Ruby.
But eh, I could always start again. And do it faster than before.
Colosseum was kind of a let-down though, compared to Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2.
I loved Stadium.
Colusseum was more of a real game.
And I didn't want that.

Base, AS in personality, and egg moves, My mudkip started with dig, blizzard, and Ice beam.
I thought that said Ice cream lol :P
I loved Colosseum and XD!! (dunno what we're talking about)
Lol, we're talking about Pokemon console games.
But before that it was my Overflow of starters.
I loved Pokemon Snap. :P
I actually beat it in like
a day...
My bro actually found it at a garage sale and got it for me, because I was obsessed with Pokemon at the time and we sold it because we were young and stupid. :P
But then when I got Colosseum O.O
I was in loovvveee XP
Then when I got XD i was more in love.
I need to get to the Elite 4 and get Pal Park while I still have my cousins game with me that I forgot to give back to him...
What about the moveset and pokemon of your Trainer Card? (in your sig)
Uh...
I'll have to look, I don't use that team much anymore.

Lol no I forgot to give him back his FireRed XD
Oh, I see.
Who here knows what it's like to train 5 starter pokemon from level 1?
It's actually really hard because all wild pokemon are level 2 or up so you're at a big disadvantage.
Use HYDRO PUMP?
Believe it or not it's not that easy, even with a high power stab a level one does about 10 damage
Exp. Share? Swipe 'em out? Just let them grow a level or two and they'll be fine on their own.
Yeah but you don't get as many EV's with that, gotta raise them right but i guess yours works too.
Train 'em 1 by 1. Go fight the elite 4 with it first in your party, and holding an exp share. Then, swap it out and kill their pokemon. When they send out their second, you put the lv 1 back out and repeat.
See what I'm saying?
But they EV's are reduced if you switch them out like that.
EV's?
Encounter Values, what really raises your stats.
Oh yeah.
Forgot about those. ;)
Mudkipz is great for defence. No lie it gives 3 EV
Quote from: Roy The Pokemon Man on April 15, 2009, 06:37:56 PM
But they EV's are reduced if you switch them out like that.
Er, I thought only certain berries can reduce the amount of accumulated EVs.
Besides, if you want EV gain for very low-level Pokemon, use stat-enhancing supplements like Protein.
Already maxed it man.
So worth the multi hundred thousand i spent.
I'm sure they were. ;D
Dang, there needs to be more 50%-off sales for them... >.>
It baffles me how Chuck looked different from Fishy on Platinum.
SALES!?!?!?!Quote from: TP Zelda on April 15, 2009, 07:46:19 PM

Groups as in the ones the guy next to the fountain in Jubilife is letting you make. He says Events happen at the same time for them.
And TPZ you talk to the nerdy guy in there and he asks you a question and you choose the trainer type you wanna look like.

My internet suck so not today fishy.
Well I didn't want seem like I was bugging you.
...Even though I don't think I would be but...XP
Lol, I really think that if I battled you I would fail.
...So do you wanna battle?
Oh, and Fishy, SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA!!
...Maybe discussing it on AIM would be better.
More easy, more real-time...
Depends on how you guys feel about it though. :P
And Chuck, okai.
So I'llbe on nao if anyone wants to battle.
Okai I'll be on after I'm dne cleaning mah room XP

Oh, ok. Ttfn then. XP
I will be awaiting another battle from someoneeee. XD
http://www.serebii.net/platinum/rotom.shtml
This'll let you know all about the stuff you'll be unlocking in the Rotom event, and if you want a shiney pikachu-looking pichu and lvl 100 arceus with Palkia,Dialga, and Giratina's ultimate moves, and it's own- Judgement, Reserve your ticket to the new movie as soon as it is announced.
I'm gonna do it just for the pokemon, not really see the movie, you gotta show up for Arceus though.
Quote from: Roy The Pokemon Man on April 16, 2009, 07:15:32 AM

What movie?
Who's the movie about?
I had youth group last night. Sorry, guys.
Maybe tonight if I'm not up to my eyeballs in homework?
As for the movie, if it has no Advanceshipping in it (highly likely)...bummer. Less incentive to watch. =(
I've got karate, so after like... 9:15's good for me.
Lol, it's about I have no Idea, but it;s called Arceus- Towards the overcome of timespace (bad translation)
I think american name will be Arceus- Overcoming time and space!
But yeah Just a guess and mags you're gonna hate me but...
What is advance shipping?
I'm up for it if my interwebs will work, this'll also be less spammy if we do this over AIM, just an Idea.
9:15 sounds good.
Anyway, Chuck, to answer your question, what do you usually do if you have a question that relates to Pokemon? One word: Bulbapedia. ;)
Yeah, but they didn't answer one of my questions about pokemon.
Where can I download all the books for Pokemon Special.
Then Google that.
Just search "Advanceshipping" on Bulbapedia, and you'll get your question answered. It'll save me an explanation.
Okay, and I have tried, I've only found 8 volumes of the 70 or more
Pfft, the new Ash sucks, it sounds like he's been either smoking a lot or yelling to much XDDD
Sooo what have I missed?
9:15.
or actually, its 6:15 for you.
Pokemanz party.
Okayyy~
I'll try.
Yay Pokemanz paRTY!!
...I'mma gonna faila!
I'll try and be there if I'm back from Demolay in time.
Oh yeah, I like the old retarded ash, and the inconsistencies 4kids had with him.
And why can't american people find good voice actors?

The old ash was good, everyone in the first generation was really good. Some English voice actors are good, like for Kiki's Delivery Service....lol Also, I wanna see Panda! Go! Panda! again...
Anyway, I'll try and make it, I might play some Guitar Hero with my bro in a few so I'll have to see. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to be there on time. XP
Considering we're talking about Ash, I take it you read the article, Chuck? ;)
Dude voice chat is scary...
Why is that?
I think its awesome.
It makes me alllllllll nervous and stuff and then I sound REALLY weird when I laugh and then that makes it even more awkward and then I get more nervous and my voice gets all shaky and just BLAH XDD

Mags i did read it.
More of a Pokeshipper myself.
I don't like anybodyxanybody in Pokemanz =p
It appears we can't have a multi-battle...
I just prefer it.
That was fun,I wanna do it again!
YEAH~!
Stinks I had to go Or I'd have battled Fishy and claimed the TDC Champ ribbon.
Speaking of which who wants to make the TDC Champ ribbon for us?
We battle to determine who gets it and we do the battle every so often.
I'll do it but it won't look good, and we'll put it in our sig.
I went to the midnight launch of the DSi with my friend Beaver. When he got his DSi, he let me borrow his old DS with his Diamond Verison. So far, my team is:
1. Drifblim Lv.33 (raised it)
2. Haunter Lv.36 (raised it)
3. Krickitune Lv. 37 (daycared)
4. Gastrodon(female) Lv.37 (raised it)
5. Rapidash Lv.41 (raised it)
6. Luxray Lv.41 (raised it)
7. Medicham Lv.42 (raised it)
I like gastrodon, it's like a squishy Lapras.

So anyway, ZV, does this mean you have one of the games? And for that matter, does that mean you have an FC? ^^
I hope he does, I wanna battle with as many people as possible.
I Disconnected one attack away from beating TP.
She had her Empoleon and I had my Typhlosion out from the previous battle and I used Focus blast.
In other words...
It's super effective, Foes Empolean fainted!
It's also amazing how this thread has gone 17 pages without getting spammed.
You didn't beat me, it was water against fire!! I could totally have beat you! :P

Water VS. Fire Pokemon = Water = Win
It being "super effective" doesn't say anything, it's like...if a 34 lvl Pokemon did that on a 65 lvl pokemon, it'd still probably say "super effective!" but it would hardly damage the 65 lvl pOKEMON.
Both level 50 with my high spec attack on a steel type with spec fighting?
And my pokemon really being lvl 100
Not including my speed?
I won.
That and I had 4 other pokemon left.
I want a re-match!
ONE YOU SHALL HAVE!
Lemme just get thar.
Lulz lemme go get my DS....
I'm gonna try to connect.
okaiiii
I wanna have another Pokemanz-get together once I get teh 3 legendary birds and Dragonite/Dratini XP
I'mma have doubles of the birds I import from Kanto.
I wish I could get the Pal Park D:
Then I could get a Dratini from my cousins game while I still have it...
Just beat the Elite four, you're just putting off the enevitable
...EH? XD
So you beat the Elite 4 to get Pal Park? *thinks*
Gotta beat elite four to complete sinnoh dex
This is all confusing me XD
You have to have the sinnoh pokedex to use pal park, you have to see every pokemon to get sinnoh dex, you have to beat Elite four to see all pokemon.
Still a little confused but ok :P
Waiting for you to get to WIFI room.
Yeah, I got Diamond, and I'm to the point where I just got to SunnyShore. I'm not ready to battle any of you yet, because I still have to trade someone to get my Gengar, and I still have to raise them all a little bit more. Some of their movesets are poor quality because of the HM's, so when I get some cunning movesets, I'll let'cha know. I don't even know if I have WiFi. I tried going to that think in Veilburg(I believe) where there's that giant spinning globe, but I couldn't find a connection... which is retarded, because my friend brings his I-Pod touch over, and he finds connections up the butt.
I prefer HM movesets actually, I beat TP Zelda last night 3 times with them.
Yeah, some hm's are really good, surf and waterfalla re the best water moves
Rock Climb and Cut aren't half bad either, Rock smash is the only sucky move but used right it can be good too.
Heck I even use Defog in battle sometimes.

Correct.
I taught it to my Medicham.
His ability is "Pure Power", which boosts physical attacks.
Furthermore, he's equipped with a "Fist Plate" that increases the power of fighting type attacks. He's already got a beastly attack stat to begin with, which makes rock smash quite a move to be reckoned with- of course, his "High Jump Kick" becomes more of a risk when used, but it can also rattle off some serious damage.
Rolling kick always seems to crit my lapras...

Tomorrow, click the button
Hit via nintendo WFC
Get a wonder card
Go to any Pokemart
Talk to the delivery man (standing next to the counter).
You now have the secret key.

Thank youuu though :D
Once you get the key, put rotom in your party
Go to the Galactic hq in... Eterna.
Go to the NWmost corner on... a room with a TV, not sure which. face north
Either press A, or use it from the key items pocket... not sure
There you go.
So do I have to get Rotom first?
Yes.
You can get him in the old chateau in eterna forest
Go upstairs, room all the way to the left. Look in the TV
Chateau Romani! XDD
Okai ^^
I do my best!!
Gotta catchs lotsa cool Pokemon :DD
EDIT: Oh, and I read somewhere a shiny stone is rare? o.O???
Wat. Why didn't it work?
It wouldn't give me the key...
/Why not?
I'll try again/scream at Chuck
tomorrow
<.<
Try going onto Serebii to get your pokemon news, I just link to them anyway...
If anything is really important I'll put it up here, I like how you all treat me like I know everything about Pokemon though...
But yeah try agian today.
It worked this morning.
I mean, not at 12:30, bot about 7.
I wish I could have my DS back, I might get it back today and definately tomorrow.
So how do you like the new movesets on your almost otherwise the same rotom?
Oh yeah fun palindrome
Rotoms motor
I got the key not too long ago, but I didn't change my Rotom yet. I'm slightly lazy right now. :P
I got my key so.
Yay for me, No battles for me today tho.
Okay, I got my Rotom to merge with a microwave. And it learned Overheat...
So...that's it? It doesn't get a STAB from it? Kind of lame...
Ah, well.
I think I got the key waaaaaaaaay before any of you did. ^^

Yeah, Not the greatest thing out there but it does expand on Charons story a little.
Also I getting angry about not being able to mix records through Wi-Fi.
What's up with that?
rabies you wanted to know where you get certain pokemon so for everyones sake I'll post the link to the pokeradar page on Serebii.
http://www.serebii.net/platinum/pokeradar.shtml
Also, Rowan gives it to you, Then when you go outside dawn talks to you automatically and then you go to route 203 i think and she teaches you to use it.
For all you shiny hunters out there...
The Pokeradar is for you.
I have three shinies.
A pidgey (not used)
a smeargle
And a Grimer.
Also TP Zelda wanted to know where to get Tyrouge for the Hitmons.
Route 211 west side with pokeradar.
You may all thank me later.
Is there even a point to the Pokeradar? I mean, I have it, and it shows where the wild pokemon are, but it doesn't get you anything special from what I've seen. I just run into normal pokemon that I would have seen anyways.
It allows you to see the pokemon listed in that article I posted...
Again Right here all you need to know.
It lets you see a long list of special pokemon and it makes for easier Shinies.
http://www.serebii.net/platinum/pokeradar.shtml
So several pokemon won't show up unless I'd just used the Pokeradar.
...
Why is it still giving me the same pokemon as before then?
They're very rare even if you use the radar. if you use the search on there it tells you if they're really rare. Such as lapras. (Can only be cause in one place but less limited than Feebas.)
WAIT A SECOND
The ones that show up red on the Area section of the Pokedex, does that means I need the Pokeradar for them?
That or Honey on a tree, but yeah pretty much.
Just use your head to determine which you need.
I'mma gonna get a Pokemonz soonz~
What?
Gonna get a pokemon soon?
I don't get it.
Well since I'm pretty close to getting to Sunyshore I guess, so then that means I'm getting close to the Elite 4 which means I'm getting closer tot he National Dex WHICH MEANS I'm getting closer to getting the Pal Park WHICH MEANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can migrate Pokemon from my cousins game to mine ^^
OHokay, That finally makes sense, and you also finally started to progress in your game again.
Yeah I'm abotu to meat Giratina :P
You do not need waterfall unlike common belief.
Eh?
XP
O don't get it o.O
You don't need waterfall to get down that waterfall just ride it normal.
Pfft I already know that XD
Some one we all know didn't...
Who?? :DD
I HOPPE I CAN FREAKN' GET THAT POKEMON CUZ IF I CAN'T I'MMA BE FIRIN' MAH LAZORRR GIRUGAMESH
But yea who? :D
A cetain Rev we all know....
:P :P :P
Yeah he argued with me for like an hour about it.
LMAO
OMG
XDDDDD
That's freakn' hilarious
Well, if I ever battle him on Pokemon I'm sure to win because I have win Pokemon.
Or, at least, I will.
I will become the TDC'S greatest Pokemon Platinum master!! *dun dun dun~!*
I'm currently the undefeated person as of as soon as I beat FR.
I need to make a hit list...
I need to make a Ribbon for the sig of whoever wins the TDC champion ribbon.
trust me tp... you will not win.
I will once I get that one...
Actually both of those ;D
Yeah, I'm keeping it a secret.
Though I doubt anyone will care but it's fun for me. :P
so, i've taken up the art of shiney hunting, i'm getting quite good!
...You mean shiny Pokemon?
Yeah, I was a shiny hunter in my Diamond but now I found a new passion...
BREEDING!
Yeah, I'm just that good.
But yeah, Rabies is great at shiny hunting.
Just to check here, what level are most of your guys' pokemon?
Just I know what to train up to before I start messing with you guys.
I'm going to be fair and not trade pokemon from my Ruby version. I was a pokemon FANATIC when I got that game, so I wound raising a few to level 100. ;)
Just to be fair when you battle me you can imporst them
I have almost 20 lvl 100 pokemon.
but most battles will be under tourney rules so it'll be lvl 50 fixed and no legends.
Well They're called ubers.
The list is most of the good legends. (Anything but Jirachi, Celebi, and Rotom,) And Wobuffet.
Because Wobuffet is an evil beast.
BUT
BUT
...
I already have a level 51 pkmn ???
No no no, I meant like in battles there is the option of going Level 50 and level 100 set, a lot of people don't know how to use a level 100 the correct way so they just stick with level 50 set.
It'll bump all your pokemon down to the stats they had at level 50 and They keep there moves.
Also this here should Explain Tiers in Pokemon.
http://www.serebii.net/games/tiers.shtml
Like I said, Wobuffet=TEH BEASTZ!
Well, Garchomp supposedly is, too, but most people seem to think of it as a borderline uber--owns OUs and gets trashed by other ubers.
Garchomp has some easily Exploited weaknesses. That's why it's not Uber.
Who here loves wobbuffet becuase it happens to be able to defeat any pokemon with ease?
I always found them useful. Anyways, my mine party is in the low 50's.
Hey I'm waiting in the Wi-Fi room if anyone wants to battle me.
Just gonna throw that out there.
Guys, it doesn't matter what level your team is.
The game makes all the pokemon lv50. They could be iv1, or lv100. They just get changed to 50 for the duration of the battle.
Dangit, I'm not at the house with Wi-Fi...I'd battle you if I were.
Yeah, I'm just really bored of training my charizard and Ampharos at the moment and wanna get some real Challenging battles.
I mean, Even the battle tower is easy...
I am afraid to enter the tower right now though because my streak...
I'm on right now if you're ready to own me. ;)
I'd have to walk half an hour and take a bus to get to the mall, and then I'd have to walk back home in the dark, something I generally try to avoid. Sorry.
Haha.
So anyone want me to make them a special TC?
Pfft I could get every kind of Shiny Pokemon if I wanted to probably XD
I doubt you have the patience for the chaining and Soft resetting Required no offense, There are also "chuck you DS across the room because chain breaks" moments to factor in.

*Pushes up fake glasses* Want me to try and get every single shiny Pokemon?
I can probably get them at lvl 100 too ;D
Go ahead, I know Rabies isn't hacking his game for them. ::) ::)
I used to be a Shiny hunter but I chucked my DS a bit too much when I was So I became a breeder.
Much less stressful, Just as satisfying.
Lol well how can you eba good shiny hunter if there's leik, a 1/105u479057430958743095834095843905890435789043 chance of finding one :-X
No its only 1/8700 estimated.
But if you soft reset or chain with Pokeradar that goes down.
...Soft reset?
Chain with Pokeradar?
:-X
I'd pass this onto our current Shiny expert Rabies but he's not here....
Just wait til later and ask him.
Ah nvm then, he won't tell me. He'll be all liek "figure it out yourself" and I'll be all like "jurk D:" and he'll be all like "^_^"
I believe the button combination for a soft reset is Start+Select+A+B; a hard reset, on the other hand, would be turning the system off and then turning it back on right away.
As for chaining with the Pokeradar, it's using the Pokerader to initiate a battle with a Wild Pokemon, and then using the Pokeradar again to fight the same Pokemon. When chaining, you need to pay attention to how the grass shakes. When you use the Pokeradar again, try to step onto the grass that shook like the one before it. Max Repels are very handy to have with you when you chain, as a random battle will ruin the chain. When chaining, you must KO the Pokemon; you can't run away or catch it.
lol that's...confusing but it helped, thansk XD
Yeah Thats about it.
HNS is right, except one thing, you CAN catch the pokemon, it doesn't matter what happens so long as you win the battle, wether it be via catching or fainting.
Ah. Sorry. It's been a while since I picked up Diamond and played it, and even longer since I had used the Pokeradar.
FFTA2 had been eating away on my soul, demanding that I make an even better clan than the one on my first file.
Lol, Yeah But like I said, Really stressful.
It's sort of crazy at times when you get a chain of almost 40 and then it gets broken without you seeing a shiny you get all *In Gannon voice* NOOO! And throw your DS out the window.
It helps to listen to music and other things that won't distract you considering you have to be looking at the screen the entire time after a battle.
Also Black flute helps keep pokemon away even though It's semi-unreliable.
Hmm... As far as shiny's go, I've had...
A Purple Jigglypuff
A Golden Pidgey
A Green Sandshrew
A Green Tentacruel
And a Golden Goldeen.
I think thats about it.
It is super rare to come across it.
me, I've had a few in my time.
Gold Ratatta
Gold Pidgeot (my first wild pokemon in LG)
Gold Spearow
Red Gyarados (haha)
Orange Raichu (oh how I miss ye, Crystal)
Shiny Entei
though now that I know how to abuse pokeradar, I'm on my way to getting more.
The shinies I've had:
Golden Goldeen
Lickitung with red stomach markings
Yeah, not so many.
I have a lot... if i had my ds with me i'd say all of them.
Can you say some of them now? I'm curious. ;)
I've had none :D
Yay
blastoise, staraptor, aggron, rotom, budew, geodude, machop, bibrael, ponyta, dragonite, quaqsire, bunery, kabuto, pidgey, dusclops, meditite, pinsir, magnemite, houndoom, pichu, krabby, makuhita, ryhorn, croagunk, and gengar
that's what i have so far
i want all...
LOL jk
Dragonite Ponyta and Gengar oooooo
And Blastoise :OO
I have a shiny Rattata and Oddish. Could have had a shiny Golbat, but something went wrong when I tried to capture it.

Very impressive. ;)
If a shiny pokemon evolves, it stays shiny, correct?
yea, that's how I have my shiny pidgeot- she was a shiny pidgey :3
That's also how I got my Shiny Electrode.
Speaking of which, I really should migrate him...

lol ok =ppp
for a price?XDD
meh, if i had to choose two i'd mostly want dragonite and blastoise :P
but for a price sure that'd make me feel better :-[
I've always raised a Gengar when it was possible as well.
I also always choose the Water starter first. I loved Squirtle and Totadile. Mudkip was alright, and Piplup was just terrible. I wish I'd've chosen Turtwig. My favorites of startes for the generations were:
Squirtle>Bulbasaur=Charmander (this gen was magical)
Totadile>Cyndaquill=Chikorita (loved second gen)
Torchic>Mudkip>Treeko (this gen was awesome, but not comparable to 1st and 2nd)
I didn't like any of the 4th gen starters that much. I eventually just threw Prinplup out of the team completely. I also love Ninetales, and raise it whenever possible. I'm a diehard first generation fan, and always will be. If I had to assemble a team to travel with through an entire game, it'd be composed completely of the first to ever explode onto the scene.
The Great Marsh is a real pain in the butt.
Agreed. They definitely need, like, water shoes or something so you don't fall in. >_<
The snow near Snowpoint is kind of worse, though >.>
I mean, it's impossible to get anything. Like, I finally got a Paras. I've had God knows how many Azumarills get away, and now this Carvanha won't stay in the damn ball.
I need these pokemon
Edit: OHMYGOD I CAUGHT THE CARVANHA HAPPY FACE
I shall name him Jimmy Stewart. Or some shorter version of that name.
What balls are you using, exactly?
You can only use Safari Balls and YES I CAUGHT THE CARVANHA
My favourite starters are like this:
Bulbasaur > Charmander > Squirtle
Totodile > Cyndaquil > Chikorita (this is really hard to decide with)
Treecko > Torchic > Mudkip
LOL 4TH GEN POKEMON. I like Empoleon because I love Steel c:
anddd I just said screw the great marsh. I miss the safari zone. rrrrr Nidorino and Kangaskhan come back ;;
You can still get them...though I think for Kangaskhan you need Ruby or Sapphire in the GBA slot.
And yeah, I wanna never come back either but there are some pokemon I have to get here.
Hey Fisk we should battle or trade or something.
Oh, yeah, I'd love to battle you eventually... would you mind waiting until next week? I'm in the volcano level with Buck training my Nidoking and Vaporeon and it's a while to get back to a pokemon center.
I'm still tromping around the Marsh (I wasted five balls and countless mud chunks and bait on Marill and still didn't get him ;_;)
But yeah I can do it later.
EDIT: Is it possible to partner up for the battle tower over Wi-Fi? Without fighting each other?
I hate the Elite 4.

lmfao okai
and yeah empoleon sucks WHEN YOU ONLY AHVE A 5PP MOVE THAT YOU CAN'T BEAT THE ELITE 4 WITH
Is it Blizzard? If so, Empoleon doesn't get a STAB from it (excluding NeverMeltIce)... >.>
Fire, Dark, Water, and Electric, FTW.
No, it's Hydro Pump. I can only replace one move, because I like Bind and my other two movesa re HM moves grah >.>
But Hyrdo Pump kills like, everything I battle so XP
edit: I can't spell Hydro D:
Remember that guy on the docks who gives you the option to battle him? He's got that crazy strong Milotic with Rain Dance and Hydro Pump? He almost wiped out my entire team the first time I battled him. I don't remember what game its from though...
@TP Zelda: Bind? So, there are people who like it.
As for the HMs, you can have the Move Deleter in Canalave City delete those for you if you want to make room for some TM moves.
@ZV: What guy from the docks? Aren't there two of them in the game?
Hydro pump isn't that good in my opinion, I mean sure it's okay but I just don't like it...
and TP Zelda that Bind comment gets you banned on my site. >.>
Joking, Considering you haven't even joined yet.
Also, I have all the starters and I am willing to breed them for any of you out there who are willing to let me borrow a ditto (I forgot my starters are almost all male and gave Rabies my Ditto ???)
Also the greatest person to face the Elite 4 with?
A Sceptile that knows Leafstorm/Blade and X scissor Takes down two of the four.
And is well worth the trouble of Importing, I also had a shiny army once but I gave up on it, mainly cause I got Platinum and didn't want to do it again and I wanted To go after my passion... Pokemon Breeding.
How well would I fare against the Elite 4 with my team:
Rapidash Lv42
Strength, Stomp, Ember, Fire Blast
I raised his Fire Blast to 8/8PP
Gastrodon Lv40
Surf, Rain Dance, Waterfall, Body Slam
I plan to teach him a good ground move. Any suggestions?
Medicham Lv43
Rock Smash, Hi Jump Kick, Psychic, Drain Punch
Held Item: Fist Plate
Luxray Lv44
Thunder Fang, Spark, Charge, Crunch
Drifblim
Fly, Stockpile, Swallow, Cut
I definitely plan to train him a bunch, don't worry.
Gengar Lv42
Shadowball, Toxic, Shadowclaw, Confuse Ray
I plan to get rid of Shadowclaw for Destiny Bond.
I've also got a pretty nice Kricketune, and Dialga.

Everyone does this, Unless you have curse do not do this instead get the TMs for Hypnosis and Dream eater. Keep Shadow claw.

So glad you didn't say Palkia. Palkia sucks.
You need a grass pokemon or the Whiscash and Quagsire will take you out (Electric immunities.)
Nah, my Medicham can take out a Quagsire or Whiscash.
And if he couldn't, my Gengar sure as hell could. :)
Thanks though, I don't know what kind of pkmn I'll be up against.
I always overstock on Full Restore, Hyper Potions, Max Potions, etc.
ZV, if I can manage to beat the Elite Four without a Grass-type, you can, too. :P
Watch out for Milotic and Togekiss, though. FREAKIN' ANNOYING!!!

Togekiss < Medicham
Milotic < Luxray
Hopefully, I'll have scraped up enough coin to afford Thunder for Lux before then.
One thunder from my Ampharos (lvl 41 right now) Killed them both...
I'm on stage 3 Elite fours too so I'm dealing with level 81s... :P
Oh yeah, My Team line up has changed, I was lacking in the ground/Psychic Department sooooo...
I got a Xatu and a Dugtrio replacing PIdgeot and Scyther (My Sceptile knows X-Scissor so I'm good.
The last woman in the elite four sucked. She killed my Vodka (luxray) and I got a little sad, since Vodka is my powerhouse. I used a revive and just killed the rest of her team with Dialga's Roar of Time and Charge Beam. ... Then I sent out my Skuntank against her last pokemon, Roserade. I used Flamethrower, she used full restore. I used very weak poison moves against her, getting her health down really low.
Then I just waited for her to use her moves against me. They didn't effect me, since they were poison, and the ones that did, I just used full restores against.
She killed herself by using Struggle. Victory, she is sweet.
Lucian is a guy.
Also, Torture is fun, That's what makes gengar one of the best.
cynthia is not a man.
unless it pulls a paper mario 2 on me and tells me that it's actually a man with a love interest in mario, which I would be very sad with.
Oh She's the champion...
Not part of teh Elite 4...
She's the fifth person, You got Me confused.
As a general rule, it is better to go with a pokemon that has at most, one attack per type. Also, you're not very smart, wasting valuable move space with HMs! Cut everything but surf out of the party.
I also use fly...
Yeah, I get so upset when people use HMs on their mains...
rock climb surf waterfall and fly are all good moves
i can't wait to battle someone, my team is all ready to go

Oh ok, thanks ;D
And Rob..BATTLE ME :DDD
HM moves actually arent that bad, If used as STAB they work out well.
But that makes the normal types hard to use.
I have a team with every HM on them and I use them all the time, Heck Defog really works well.
(For all you double team spammers)
Alright, I'm hanging out in the big ol' online room, someone come join me.
I would but I'm still training my pokemon right now. Gotta get them to the 90s by tomorrow.
stay on shika, i'm gonna head to bk so i can beat you up
my fc is 1805 8588 2044
name's rev
Well if you're going I might get on.
I don't know Shika's FC anyway.
Does nobody use the Friend Code topic? It'd sure as hell make everything easier.
It isn't posted there.
I've looked.
I'm more than 200% sure it's there.
Is it on the front page, where it's supposed to be?
Or just somewhere in there?
It's on the front page. I just checked AGAIN, and it is indeed there.
So you're only on D/P Not platinum?
I just checked and it says Diamond or pearl.
Yes, I'm only on Pearl.
That answers a lot so I'll add you now.
Yes Rev beat me on luck and only cause I kept d/cing and got lazy from switching my front end pokemon and he got me.
Okay, dude, luck or not the win counts all the same, and that teaches you don't be lazy ^_^
RAWR I GOT PAST 3 ELITE 4'S AND I DON'T HAVE LIKE ANY PP LEFT FOR TEH LAST ONE >:( >:( :( :( :-*
<.< I was lazy and I forgot so many times...
Also TP try bringing a bug type.
I don't have any bug types I don't think.
Or bring Leppa Berries.
Yeah, Or whatever weakens Super effective Psychic attacks.
Fishy got ticked at the Elite 4 so I lent him some pokemon, I hate the ELite 4
Yeah but Idk maybe I'll just try my luck at TRY to beat him, then if I fail then I'll go look for some berries... :-*
Man...
I'm so pathetic lol
And Chuck....eh? XD
That berry that weakens a psychic type super effective.
Also I lent Fishy some of my other pokemon.
I could do the same for you.
Nuuu I even thought about haxing my game to beat them but nope I wanna do it fair and square :<
lol never used that smiley before
Good job.
Fishy better not hurt Nora in any way.
Good job about hwat?

That was random.
You were talking about Hacking Pokemon games right?
I hack them myself. I can change the entire maps, and even make my own regions. But I can't edit what people say, and that makes it difficult to make a good game.
Oh, We were talking along the lines of...
Action Replay....
Lololoolllololololol
Or maybe I could get just Diamond or something and hack that.

Whoa, seriously?
Need I ask what language it uses? ^^
Yep.
I can change the starter pokemon, the sprites, everything down to the attacks they can learn, their stats, and the items they hold. I use a few programs that can be found here (http://hackpokemon.weebly.com/).
At first its a little bit complicated, but you get used to it fast. The hardest thing to get down is the warping. Like say when you walk into a house, it transports you to the "inside the house" map. I can't get the text editor to work(Advance Text) or the Mart editor to work(Advance Mart). It only works on GBA games, and I highly reccomend starting easy with Fire red.
Its hard to find good tutorials on how to use the stuff, so if you have questions feel free to PM me. I made this really cool game once where you start off as a rocket. You're in your room in one of the six barracks in your little base of operations. The starters you choose from are Ekans, Koffing, and Grimer. Nice huh? If I could get the text editor to work I could make full fledged games! :)
Pffft, 90% of all poison types are crap.
Yeah, I'd say all pure poison types are trash.
But a lot of the mixed ones are pretty good.
Yeah, my main team has poison in it.
I know that.
But they're Rockets.
Its their main type.
Gotta make it realistic you know.
But if you guys think they're really bad, I could just change them to dark types. Houndour, Nuzleaf, and Carvana
That makes much more sense.
Considering it goes over the things like you would normally start with.
And speaking of starters I've revamped my team (Again shush up mags and Rabies) So I could customize my nicknames. My new pokemon in place of Sceptile is Meganium, (Once it evolves.)
I also nicked all my pokemon their japanese names.
Okay so here they are
SPECIES- Name
AMPHAROS- Denryu
XATU- Natio
DUGTRIO- Dugtrio
LAPRAS (No longer my old Lapras I b0rked her EVs)- Laplace
MEGANIUM- Meganium
CHARIZARD- Lizardon
Well there is my new team and nicks.
I'm gonna start EVing them now so have fun.
Oh yeah, how do you set up your DS for WiFi?
I'm trying to help a friend because she got Platinum and she said it won't connect, and I forgot how to set it up. >.<
TP Zelda, to do it, you need to go to the WiFi Connection Setup option in the main menu (or whatever the heck it's called). Then she just needs to choose the type of connection that best fits her connection type--a USB Connector or regular wireless.
It's pretty simple from there, for it's a given linear process.

That actually looks pretty good. It includes Dark types, and it also includes the standard Fire-Grass-Water starter combo.
I'd say have Nuzleaf start with Seedot, though, but that's just my two cents. ;)
EDIT: I mispelled "Seedot"? What the heck was I smoking? >_<
But...
The seedot will get more chance to gain better EVs making it much stronger...
Except Seedot's moveset is crap. Almost no damage dealing moves.

Actually, with a different program, I can change all the moves it learns through leveling up, and even the EV's. I could make it learn Aeroblast at level 6 if I saw fit. :)
What exactly is an EV?

but that'd be wrong, changing the story is alright, and what pokemon you get/encounter, but changing the pokemon themselves is breaking the game.
And shika, let's take my Aggron for example, he usually gets +2 to his def each level, but if i fight pokemon with high def (say graveler) when he levels up next he could get +3 or +6 even to his def at his level.
Based on what Dr. said, an EV (short for effort value, sometimes referred to as an encounter value) is like a "stat building block" that is awarded to a Pokemon every time he or she defeats another. Also based on what Dr. said, Graveler is known for Defense EVs, so every time his Aggron defeats a Graveler, Defense EVs are added to his Aggron's "pool." Supposedly, every four EVs increases the stat by one.
Each Pokemon is allowed only 510 EVs total, and I believe only 255 max are allowed for each stat (please correct me if I'm wrong, Roy). You also know the supplements you buy your Pokemon? The Iron, Carbos, etc.? Those increase the stats by adding ten EVs each.
I asplained that about...
15 pages ago.
It saves us all the trouble of sifting through it, trying to find it. :P
But yes, maybe I should've just linked to it...
Lol, It's okay, Anyway, I've been getting bored of Pokemon Recently...
I'm sad.
I've gotten bored of it for two reasons:
1. Because I've been playing TF2.
2: Because I CAN'T BEAT FREAKN' CYNTHIA AND NOW I HAVE TO START OVER WITH THE ELITE 4 :(
I'd still battle people though...
I'm getting bored because I've been playing too much and I'm getting pumped (see move list) for the new game.
Whenever I get pumped for a new game, I usually play one of the previous games...
Like, for instance, when I was pumped about TP, I was playing TWW a lot...
But yeah.
I miss battling people. T.T
If you're done with everything for today and are willing to set aside the large amount of time it takes to do anything with my Internet I'll battle you.
I could try now. Would that be fine?
Lemme get my DS...
But I'm up for it...
What'll the battle type be?
How about a single? Actually, it doesn't matter to me, really.
I can probably fight in a couple minutes if that's alright? D:?
But I am gonna be eating ramen so except some slurping... :PJk I don't eat ramen taht loudly.
But no I will come in a few minutes, if that's ok?
Lets go single free.
I hope my team is okay...
I'm against mags rite now.
Oh, the free level was on purpose? I thought it was an accident. >.>
But just so you know, I don't plan on counting that against you; I was at such a horrible advantage it wasn't even funny. >_<
I've been too lazy to train as of recent.
I know but Lizardon owned you.
Admit it.
Mags I want to battle after I fail againt Roy if that's alright XP
I wish there was a spectator mode.
TP you have to tell me what happens after I beat you this time in lvl 100.
I already got her in lvl 50 and free.

Hehe, sure. ^^;;
Oh, is a good way to lvl up Pokemon...can you like, keep switching them out while battling the Elite 4 and beating Pokemon with your strongest Pokemon? XD
lol did that make any sense?
That's a good way to level them but you'll probably die quite a bit.
Meh, still a good way.
You get looootsa.... whatever it's called XD
Exp, i think it is,,,
And the Pokemon there give pretty good EVs
Can you get a Mew in Platinum? >.> Like without migrating it.
Do you have to hack it?
I wouldn't be surprised if you had to hack it. Nintendo likes its Mew sooo much... >_>
Ahh well...
I wonder if you guys would hate me if I hacked teh shiny Pokemon I wanted...xD
I would.
I don't like hackers.
Also I heard Mags got thrashed.
Lol yeah...
Mags...
ahAHAHAHAH.
I can't cross himoff my list though.
Why not?
You cheated?
Or it was lvl 100 set?
Don't hack it, i worked so hard for my shinies, i'd feel cheated, either try it yourself or give me a shopping list and i'll do it, got nothing better to do
>.>
Well the only shinnies I want besides Mew are Ponyta and Ninetails >.<
And I won't hack it. ^^;;
I might try shiny hunting sometime.
I has shiny ponyta :]
Ne? You do?
...
...Are you gonna keep it? >.>
unless you have something worth my while then yes
You're evil.
TP Zelda, usually shiney hunting is better than finding something worthwhile to trade for a Shiny.
Quote from: ROV ROBOOS on May 10, 2009, 08:15:50 AM
unless you have something worth my while then yes
Pfft, never mind then. Ususally if someone wants a Pokemon it's usually a good Pokemon I want to keep.
Lol wait amin Chuck...You know how you find Snorunts in certain areas?
Well if you were Shiny hunting and you wanted a certain Pokemon, would you look in that certain area?
You would have to look in the area the non-shiny Pokemon would appear in. If you can't find a Gyarados in tall grass, why would you find a shiny Gyarados in tall grass?
*Facepalm*
That's what I just said... >.>;;
How do you find snorunt, i've been trying to get one...
But yes, TP zelda, and i was kidding, with my luck i could breed an army of ponytas that are shiny, as roy, i used to txt him every time i got a shiny, he'd get like 5 txts a day
Hahahahah to his phone, right?
Coolio XPP
Oh, and snorunt...Fishy found one for me. =p
Grr, give me lessons on shiny hunting D:
Oh, and what does it mean when there's a question mark by a friends name in the PalPad? 'Cause there's one by Mags and my cousin said it's because they haven't registered you (the question mark), but I've battled Mags like, twice...
Rabies, in Platinum, Snorunt can be found by walking around Acuity Lakefront, Lake Acuity, and Route 217 at night with a 20% chance of encountering it. There's a 10% chance that you'll encounter Snorunt on Route 216 at night.
For Diamond and Pearl, use the PokeRadar at any time of day when you're on Route 216, Route 217, or Acuity Lakefront.
Really? Because on my pokedex it says area unkown for him.
For real? You sure you have Platinum in your DS?
...That is weird.
well, when it starts it says platinum, and i have refrigerator rotom, so i'm guessing it's platinum
How very odd... I wonder if I have the same problem.
*checks*
It does for me, too, but only if the time marker on the bottom screen is not set to night.
Hehe, it does for me too.
But Idk if that's just because Fishy gave me one..
Quote from: ROV ROBOOS on May 11, 2009, 07:57:51 AM

Can't help you on that; I don't have Platinum. That information was taken from Psypokes.
Well, i got me a male and female snorunt, and to my luck after my chain hunting them i got two shinies in a row.
Ohh I thought of another shiny I wanted...
But I forgot what it was...
Oh yeah I remember!
A shiny Ralts or something... :P
The twins got Platinum. I never see my DS anymore.
My brother has Platinum and he plays in the battle frontier all the time, it's way better than emeralds.
I dug up this topic to see if anyone has the new pokemon games.
I have them and I'm lloking to battle or what have you if any of you wanna dig up your platinums/diamonds/pearls.
I haz Soul Silver
How far are you on it? I've gotten 3 stars on my TC already, from the Eilte 4, the pokeathelon, and uh... something else... Oh the golden leaves.
Also if you've gotten to Red tell me what you thought of the battle.
That battle I had to go into very ready... (Red that is) I hated that part yet loved it so much oh and I already beat the game very hardcore style
Sadly my card only has 1 star.... way to lazy to deal with that right now... but I shall
I loved the Red battle. Definately the hardest In game battle I'ver ever fought. Between switching to my damage sponges and healing I was pretty busy.
I need to work on my Dex some more, only have 130 something pokemon, and I need to work on my Battle Tower strategies.
Also I hard a really hard time on Pennant Capture for the Pokeathelon.
Anyway I also went and bred all the pokemon on my team, so right now I'm running around with a low level team, of a Snorlax, a Pigey, a Totodile, a Cyndaquil, a Mareep, and my high level Meganium.
Anyway if you want to battle or something tell me. Also I'm not one of the "Competitive" battlers that only use dragon/steel/blissey pokemon, but I do know a lot of the game mechanics. I do tend to play with a "game" style team, with HMs on the movesets and whatnot. I'm more of an RPer when it comes to Pokemon, coming up with a story for my character more than just what you get in the game.
sure I'll battle, and don't worry I'm not either...

qft. It's awesome. I love it.
So, while I'm at Central Library yesterday, I try out the GTS. One of the four Pokemon I get is Skitty, mistakenly believing that it was exclusive to Pearl. I turn on Diamond to check the daily lottery and swarm, and I learn that Skitty was swarming over on Route 222.
Hate to double post in GD, but I feel I ought to say that the Vth Gen Pokemon games are coming along nicely. Psypoke (http://www.psypokes.com) got their hands on a few screenshots for Pokemon Black and White; the perspective looks rather epic in the fourth screenshot. Can't wait to see some official art though, especially of the trainers. The new games are coming out Fall 2010 in Japan, so it looks like we can expect it sometime 2011 in the States.
And I'm calling it now; the third game is going to be called Pokemon Gray.
Yea I saw that already and I was like really... It looks so weird...
I think it's odd that the game's names increase in value every generation...and now it's black and white.
NOOOOO!!! My friend restarted my Platinum before I got to trade my Shaymin over to Soul Silver... I will give anything for one TT_TT

September through November of 2009. Moral of the story: check you source for Pokemon news and info often, even if you're not currently playing a Pokemon game.
Aw, crud. I wish they'd bring it back for a bit. :P
I know. I missed the Darkrai event, as well. But you can always have them traded over to you from a friend so you can get the Pokedex entry. And once you have that, you can try to trade for one over the GTS. It's what I'm doing for Celebi and Manaphy.

sorry for the tvtropes references. XD.
as fate would have it this thread booms when i've lost a lot of interest in the game...
That would be because I felt the need to keep TDC up to date on the new Pokemon games. Speaking of which, Psypoke (http://www.psypokes.com/) has some gameplay footage of Black and White. It's just the main trainer walking around a city, but the view is impressive; you'll have to see it for yourself.
It really will be different
I certainly do hope so.
I've never been too impressed with the music from Pokemon, at least outside of the battle themes and some of the route themes, but I hope these new overworld perspectives will inspire some Crowning Music of Awesome for the town and route themes.
I like the music, but with the change of graphics the game play has to be diffrent
I liked Sunyshore's music a lot...
SoulSilver and HeartGold had great music. If you get the item "GB Sounds", it plays the music like it was in the gen 2 games. It's amazing! Granted, Pokemon music was never the best, but it was never bad. It's the kind of game music that gets stuck in your head.
Like Zelda music.
Exactly. I would hum the music to myself while walking home everyday, back in the 5th grade!
My gamestop connections are allowing me to get a new pokewalker for 13 dollars!
Haha! Pokemon, I'm about to play you again!
I get the game in two weeks. I'm so psyched! This has always been my favorite generation! JOHTO FTW!
Kanto/Johto you mean.
Nah. I always liked Johto better. SHUN THE NON BELIEVER!
SHUUUUN!
Kanto/Johto cannot be separated.
IT CANNOT BE DONE!
I think that's why the 2nd generation was best. Linking the regions.
Seriously, Johto isn't Johto without Kanto too.
Tojho falls ftw.
I am NOT going to buy a DS.
NOT HAPPENING.
Someone needs to create a good DS emulator pretty darn fast.
This is yet ANOTHER game for the DS that I won't be able to play. You know what's really sad? The DS has been all like:
crap game
crap game
crap game
crap game
crap game
crap game
crap game
awesome looking game I.E. PKMN HG/SS, Phantom Hourglass, Fire Emblem, etc.
crap game

I just can't find the DS worth buying, but I want to play some of those games so bad >.<

Any Nintendo software does. But the bad points seem to outweigh the good ones as far as the DS goes. Apparently Nintendo is putting out new DS models like crazy, and it's pissing off consumers because the model they just bought is obsolete. To make things funnier, Nintendo announced that they have a NEW newer than new DS that'll be debuting at this years E3. Just read the article in the new issue of Game Informer, and apparently, it'll be 3D without having to use special glasses. The GBA was the most amazing handheld system ever, and if you ask me, it still is.

The gba was awesome... However I like the DS... Yea they put out a bunch of new ones and the 3ds will be kinda annoying but still every game I have for it I can play over and over... SO I can't complain about it

How's the Poke'walker workin for you guys?
I keep trying to catch a Pikachu with surf or fly and and couldn't... So I started to look for a Munchlax that knows self destruct and all I keep getting are Horseas... >_>
Missed out on pikachu event. Is sad. But it's so fun to geek out and say "hey guys I caught a -insert pokemon here- on the way here. Wanna see it?" and then you whipe out the pokeball/walker.

AND A HUGE PLOT POINT! DUN DUN DUN!
So, hey, hit a roadblock in my attempt to fill out the Pokedex. Except for Glameow and Purugly, I have every Pokemon I can get from Diamond, the GTS, and events I didn't miss. So I thought it was about time I started raising some teams for competitive battling. Any guidelines I should keep in mind? You know, Pokemon I shouldn't use, max level, etc. It would seem rather unfair if I came to a battle with a team of six level 100 Mewtwos.

YOu want to do competitive stuff there are tiers that do exist in pokemon. All legendaries (Except Jirachi, celebi, and I think latios/latias) and Wobuffett are called ubers and are usually banned.
There usually isn't a level cap or it's set before the battle and your pokemons levels will be reduced to it, so you don't have to worry about that.
For pokemon to use, there are 3 must haves if you wanna annoy the crap out of your opponent. Blissey with maxed out HP and SP-A EVs, Skarmory with SP-D and DEF maxed out, and finally Togekiss with body slam, air slash (Or whatever that move that flinches is) and roost. This Togekiss moveset is called a Para-Flincher as it paralyzes and allows you to flinch unyieldingly while healing yourself. Some more good pokemon to have are Tyranitar with some good STABs, Dragonite with some good STABs, and that jet dragon thing that I forgot. With some good STABs.
FYI STAB is same type attack Bonus.
There, with those tips you should dominate the arena, but people will hate you forever.
Speaking of which I may start going to some tournaments at the gamestop by the walmart down by sandbridge area so I may see you if you ever go there.
Don't worry, I know what a STAB is. And I sincerely doubt I'm going to bother with EV training; it's a tedious enough chore raising the Pokemon's level, I don't want to worry about which Pokemon I need to KO. Then again, there are vitamins I could use, right?
I think you're thinking of Garchomp.
Oh, hey, it's not really my type, but what's a good Water Pokemon?
You guys are completely forgetting about Scizor. When I played competitively, he was a BAMF. Almost every team I came across in metagame was either packing a Scizor, or a Pokemon to counter Scizor.
It has also been to my experience that a fully leveled Dragonite, Gengar, or Umbreon will never do you wrong. I used an Umbreon in my team as a Toxic Trapper, and he did wonders. Gengar is almost guaranteed to take out at LEAST one pokemon on the other team. His superior speed enables his destiny bond to be used to full effect. Thunderbolt, Psychic, and Confuse Ray are the other moves I'd recommend for him. Dragonite doesn't need explaining. He's just that amazing.
That being said, you should definitely consider a "Dragon Flak Cannon"(a fast ice type). For Dragonite, I'd recommend Earth Quake, Dragondance, Dragonclaw (for your STAB move), and for the later move, do whatever you want. I'd recommend a healing move like Rest, or if he can learn it (I can't remember) Recover.
With that kind of Dragonite, You can deal with any pokemon except for ONE pokemon who is resistant to your attacks. Skarmory. I think that's pretty good odds.
But using a dragonite to win is something anyone can do, I prefer long torturous battle with moves like spikes, toxic spikes, stealth rock, and of course, a para flincher team.
I forgot to mention Scizor, but it's 5x weakness to fire, a commonly used type is enough to set it down a bit.
A good water type is Lapras, Marshtomp if you think you're against more electric than grass, but blizzard or ice beam fixes that, or lastly Starmie because it's just awesome looking with pretty good stats.
Overall marshtomp is the best if you can get an ice beam out fast enough.
Also note 1HKO are also banned from competitive play usually, but it never hurts to ask.

One weakness vs Ten resistances. I'd say that's good. First of all, they have to start with a fire type. Here's what happens if they don't(assuming your Scizor is using technician):
Turn 1:
Scizor- Swords dance
Lapras- Switch to fire type
Turn 2:
Scizor (if slower than opponent)- Bullet Punch (130 B.A.P. + Technician)
Scizor (if faster than opponent)- Brick Break (130 B.A.P. + Swords Dance)
Fire Type- Most likely dead.
If you think you're up against a severe disadvantage somehow, U-Turn can do some decent damage coming from a Scizor, especially if it has been sword danced once. He can learn Roost as well. A good Scizor can sweep entire teams like Kingler used to do in his day.
There are still better things to use. Skarmory for one. But Togekiss too cause it is capable of a roosting, paraflincher and it's fast enough to pull it off.
I'm actually not much for creating teams like this but the pokemon I do use have all the bases covered and are pretty well EV trained.
Also try those fighting move on any flying fire types and it won't work. GARizard all the way.

If I recall correctly, vitamins only work until the point where a Pokemon's EV count of a particular stat reaches 100. EVs go up to 255.
However, the Battle Frontier (in
Platinum, at least) sells bands that ensures a gain of +4 EVs for a particular stat every time a Pokemon is defeated, the side effect being that it reduces Speed for however long it's being held.

I forgot to mention Scizor, but it's 5x weakness to fire, a commonly used type is enough to set it down a bit.
2 * 2 = 4. :P (6 if you include the STAB.)
...My apologies. I like math.
The actual thing is (DMG*5)*1.5
Well, Trick Room teams are fun. :)
I think I still have a Lapras. I know I have a Starmie. But if you think Marshtomp is my best bet for a Water Pokemon, then someone is going to have to trade me one.
Well I'm not going to lie I'm going into a pokemon tourney this sat out in Dallas and it's double battle... My first two pokemon to send out are Magikarp and Snorlax, My side party for the first round will be Gengar and Typhlosion. Along with them my last two registered pokemon will be Sneasel and Tyranitar. Either way I'm going for the shiny Eevee XD

I have a mudkip so i'll trade you my marshtomp if we ever meet at a tournament.

That...doesn't make sense. O.o
Bug is weak against Fire (x2), and Steel is also weak against it (x2). That's a quad weakness, not a quint weakness, since 2 * 2 = 4 != 5. As far as I know, Scizor doesn't have a unique handicap that buffs that by 25%, unless I'm wrong.
If I recall correctly, there should be an ability out there that only makes a Pokemon weaker to a particular type. I'm not sure what that is exactly or if Scizor has it, though.

Maybe if I knew when one was, I could find a way to get out there. Until then, there's either Wi-Fi, or since we live in the same city we could meet at Central Library; I'll be there Friday and Saturday this week.
Either way, is there a certain Pokemon you'll want in return?
Not particularly.
I may go if I don't have work. I gotta make sure my mudkip is bred corrextly though.
Also when I hear about a torunament I'll pm you.
Edit: Sorry mags, I got mixed up.
Thanks, Chuck.
Mags, Scizor can have either Swarm or Technician. Neither makes him weaker to any type.

No, don't apologize. For all I knew, there was a hidden mechanic I didn't know about. ;D
And win those tourneys when you get there, you guys. Win for TDC. *raises fist*
Lol I can just see us entering as "team TDC"
AND HOLY CRAP, THE POKÉWALKER IS FRIGGIN' AWESOME. CAUGHT A PARAS. OWNAGE!
My DS is trash and I can't press the L+R buttons to reset my pokewalker.
:(
I know what you mean. The only game I can play properly on my DS is Pokemon Diamond. Well, I can also play Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass properly, but I like being able to press the R button to use an item, and the button is very tempermental; besides, I'm not ready to replay either game yet, especially PH since I'm loaning it out to a friend.
But that's not talk about teh Pokemans, now is it, HNS?
Ugh, I have to go down to the first basement of Victory Road to catch a Lapras. Better go buy some Max Repels.
Now I'm level grinding a bit before I face Whitney. This is gonna suck. v.v
Would anyone recomend putting a Steelix on a team for competitive battling, or should I look for another Ground-type?
Steelix is good, has great stats, and earthquake.
Very good defense, but when I first thought of putting him on my team, I was thinking about the immunity to Electric and Poison moves.
yeah. Nice immunities too.
I feel sorry for it's speed though ...
True, but Steelix can learn Rock Polish, which raises a Pokemon's speed by two stages. With her good defense (the one I caught for battling is a she), she'll probably be able to last long enough to take her turns.
OMG! This (http://www.pokemon.com/blackwhite/en/) showed up on Psypoke yesterday!
My apologies for the double post, but Psypoke (http://www.psypokes.com/) recently reported new tidbits of info for Pokemon Black and White. Like Reshiram and Zekrom's type; Reshiram is Dragon/Fire while Zekrom is Dragon/Electric. The new professor, Professor Araragi, is a woman for the first time in Pokemon's history. They go on to report seven new Pokemon: Chiramii, a Normal-type Chinchilla Pokemon with the abilities Cute Charm and Technician; Mamepato, a Normal/Flying-type Pokemon based on a pigeon, with the abilities Super Luck and a new one that appears to prevent some stat reductions; a Steel-type whose name romanizes to Gear, with the abilities Plus and Minus; Mun'na, a Psychic-type that looks somewhat pig-like, with the abilities Forewarn and Synchronize, and a new move "Telekinesis" that causes Pokemon on the field to float; Hihidaruma, a Fire-type ape Pokemon with a new ability that is unknown as to what it does right now; Shimama, an Electric-type horse Pokemon with the abilities Lightningrod and Motor Drive; and Meguroko, a Ground/Dark-type crocodile with the abilities Intimidate and a new ability that boosts Attack after the opposing Pokemon is KO'd. Two new Wi-Fi abilities were also reported, but only one is known at the moment, and that is a Random Match feature.

Kinda lame. They sound like rehashes of Rattata and Pidgey, which I think they've overdone already. :/

Cool enough.

A Fire-type ape... Now where have we seen this before...?

QuoteTwo new Wi-Fi abilities were also reported, but only one is known at the moment, and that is a Random Match feature.
Wi-Fi abilities? That's pretty new. Sweetness.
All right, that's my two cents.
On Mun'na, some of the folks over at Psypoke are speculating that it could be a pre-evolution form of Drowzee and Hypno. Mun'na is known as the Dream Eater Pokemon, and the nose does look similar to Drowzee's nose. However, the color scheme is off; Mun'na is pink with flowers...painted? tatooed?...on its body. Psypokes and Serebii have pictures of it.
QuoteChiramii

Okay, at least he looks awesome. Out of all the pokemon I've seen from this generation, this one has to be my favorite. It doesn't look all ugly, no spikes and stripes, it looks like it could have been from generation one or two.

Oh jeez, where have I seen this before. This is gonna bug me all day. OH it's the annoying BIRD type that we're gonna see on the very first route of the game. I get tired of bird types, sue me. Also, where the hell did they come up with that name? Remember the good ol' days with "pidgey", or "Lickitung"?

QuoteHihidaruma
(http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/1/1c/Hihidaruma.png/180px-Hihidaruma.png)
All I can say about this Pokemon is that they obviously just looked at a Daruma doll (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hwVfyLZEJfU/R49EpDOEW2I/AAAAAAAAAUk/baG3H2L1Zug/s400/daruma.jpg) and added limbs. They didn't even try to cover it up, I mean Daruma is in his name for God's sakes. They were just like "o its red lets maek it a fyr tipe."
QuoteShimama
(http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/c/ca/Shimama.png/180px-Shimama.png)
This thing looks... decent. Reminds me somewhat of Jirafarig, which holds fond memories. Looks like it could have come out of Generation two, so it's sort of on good standing with me. He looks a little traumatized by something though, don't you think? I wonder if they'll mention it in its pokedex description like they did with Xatu.
QuoteMeguroko
(http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/b/b7/Meguroko.png/180px-Meguroko.png)
Okay so this little dude looks awesome. Don't know what else to say about him except that I think his evolved form is going to be beast.
You got some Red X's of DOOM in there, ZV.
And is that you speaking in the quote boxes, or someone else? Either way, at the comment about the names under Mamepato, I would like to point out that these are only the Japanese names; the English names could be different.

Yeah, I just used the quotes to separate them. No red X's on my screen.
Yeah, I can see the pics now.
I just now thought that Mamepato looks so much like an actual pigeon that I can imagine little kids throwing toy Pokeballs at pigeons after Pokemon Black and White come out in America. Oh, those silly little kids; someone should teach them the difference between real life and fiction.
Update on acquiring Zorua and Zoroark: You'll need either a Celebi or one of the shiny Legendary Beasts; all of them have to be event-based. Currently, only Japan has events planned for them, but there should be an event for them in the Americas as Black and White draw closer to release over here.
Double Post of Update-y Goodness.
From July 31 to August 27, players of Heart Gold and Soul Silver will be given access to an event to get the Enigma Stone, which is required to catch either Latios or Latias, depending on which game you have.
This is so nice of Nintendo, putting the event around my birthday. I usually save birthdays for books, but I think it's time to break away from tradition this year.
Now this is something I need to remember to do this weekend.
Thanks for the notice, HnS.
I did some more digging around at the official site. You must have the National Dex, and you need fewer than two Wonder Cards in your possession (check under the Mystery Gift option; it's somewhere there). If I'm understanding this correctly, you only need a wireless connection to get the Enigma Stone; if you have that at home, then there's no need to go out to get it. However, I'm not 100% sure on this, so someone's going to have to check that Saturday.
A wireless connection is probably all you need. I don't see why they'd not do it that way.
you guys are right, all you need is a wireless connection.
i just got my very own enigma stone :D yay
Enigma Stone ftw. I can't wait to reach Pallet again and catch Latias. She's.. so oddly adorable..
Plus, then I'll have both, and soul dew, which will make them pwn.

ZOMG. Psypoke has confirmed that one of the new Gen V Pokemon, Bikutini, (http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/new/bikutini/) will be Psychic/Fire. Psychic/Fire!! Oh, I hope this Pokemon's stats will make it worth using.
Two of the best elements in the entire series--IN ONE POKEMON?
If it isn't high tier, I call haxx.
Ugh. Why did they make it look so stupid?
I'm assuming it's a pre-evolved form.
Yeah, Black and White has 3 on 3 battles.
FTW.
Are you serious? Wow. Freaking beyond the impossible.
what is a good move set for a dragonite?

Psypoke's take on good movesets for Dragonite, depending on its nature, stats, and EV spread. (http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/149/movesets) Personally, though, I'd go with Dragon Dance, Earthquake, Dragon Claw, and Fly.

I wouldn't exactly use the word "cute", heh...
I would, but...eh, people's definitions of moe (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Moe) vary.
Reporting on what Psypoke (http://www.psypokes.com) has already reported....
Black and White will have seasons, and the seasons will affect the terrain and what Pokemon can be found in the wild. Also, Shikijika, a Normal/Grass-type deer-like Pokemon, will change its color scheme depending on the season. The seasons are in-game and last for one real-world month.
Bikutini, the Psychic/Fire-type, has a new Fire-type move called "Complete Burn" or "Incinerate" that burns the held berry of a Pokemon, making it unusable. Bikutini is only available through an event (details for outside of Japan are yet to come, of course), but in the case of accidental KO it will come back until you catch it. It comes knowing Quick Attack, Endure, Confusion, and the new attack described above.
In addition to 3-on-3 trainer battles, there will be Wild Double Battles.
Pokemon from Generation IV games will be transferable after the Elite Four and undoubtedly the National Dex via the PokeShifter, which will work like the PalPark.
Team Plasma's uniforms seem to be based on medieval knights. One could wonder if Team Plasma is meant to represent a desire to return to an older time and get rid of all of the new technology Isshu has, but it is easy to be distracted from this line of thought by how utterly stupid they look. Is it me, or is it getting harder to take these evil organizations seriously as their outfits have gotten more ridiculous as the series marches on?
TMs are no longer one-use items; they can be used on multiple Pokemon. I'm not quite sure how to feel on this. On the one hand, it's nice to know that Giga Drain and Dream Eater can be taught to several Pokemon; on the other hand, I'm worried if this will wreck the balance. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
There is a Dream World, which is the only place you can grow berries. Pokemon found there can also have unique properties, such as new abilities. For example, Vaporeon, who normally has the Water Absorb ability, can gain the Hydration ability.

Ah, I see some parallels between this and
Animal Crossing. I like it. Not to mention the Hi-Link, which only seems to add to the
Animal Crossing parallels.

The way I see it, it saves time breeding them and transferring them over to a new save file. I certainly think it's better that I actually use these more often instead of leaving them in my bag to rot until I (usually never) need them.

Finally got SoulSilver today; now I have a little less than two weeks to get the National Dex so I can get my Enigma Stone.
I'm really loving the new control scheme. I just wish the game was new instead of used; I'm out a Pokewalker.
I chose the girl, of course, and named her Rose (I'm guessing you'll like that, Mags). As soon as I get to the point in the story where I can get access to it, I'll post my friend code.
You may be able to order a Pokewalker online through Nintendo, though. I think they're about $12, so take that how you will.
Really? Awesome. That is nice to know.
Oh, hey, the rival's official name is Silver, right? Because that's what I named him.
i dont know the rival's official name..
but i named mine carl after an ex :P it always pumped me up to battle him and DOMINATE, tee hee
What a coincidence; I named mine Lucas after one of my best friends' exes. XD
Wheee, I caught a shiny Wooper just south of Violet City. It sucks that the Pokedex still won't show the shiny form of a Pokemon if you've seen it, and the small icon of it won't be shiny if you view the Pokemon menu. Which is really weird, because the small icon for Wooper that follows me around is shiny, so I know that they have the sprites for it.
I love sending Aedre out into battle; she looks back at me and every time I see the face I like to think that it's like she's saying, "You caught a shiny!"
Dude, how lucky can ya get? DX
I could have been luckier against Whitney and Morty (heh, Morty's the Ghost-type gym leader). Against Whitney, I was down to my starter, Aidan, and Miltank made him fall in love with her, so I was missing most of the time, and she kept on using Milk Drink to restore her HP. Took me far too long to KO her using Ember since physical attackers were barely doing anything, but at least she was burned.
And then with Morty, his Ghost Pokemon wiped the floor with mine. I was down to Stantler and Morty was down to his final Haunter, and I had run out of PP for Astonish; Stantler's other three moves were Sand Attack, Hypnosis, and Stomp, the first two being non-damaging moves and Stomp being Normal and therefore useless against any Ghost Pokemon. So the only thing I could do was keep Stantler's HP up with Potions until Morty's Haunter eventually KO'd itself with Curse.
But hey, only four more badges until I can take on the Elite Four and get the National Pokedex. At the rate I'm going, I should be able to get my Enigma Stone before the event is over.
I didn't find Whitney as hard as other people made her out to be. My Onix was my Stonewall Jackson of the party; his absurdly high DEF and type advantage made her Normal-type, physical moves relatively painless, so I didn't have too much trouble, if I remember correctly.
Chuck, on the other hand, was different. Oh, gosh, was he different.
That's the thing, though; all of Whitney's Pokemon could infatuate my male Pokemon, which my Onix was. His defense wouldn't have mattered since he was refusing to attack more than half the time and Miltank would use Rollout, which gains in strength when used in succession.
Chuck is Water-type, right? If so, who should I train up more: Bellsprout (or a better Grass-type Pokemon) or Flaaffy?

I'm partial (see it's my all time favorite pokemon) to ampharos, so I'd say Flaafy, but... Isn't Chuck Ice? It's been too long and I'm never up early enough to get his phone number, so i've forgotten.
Well, if Chuck is Ice, Aidan is a Quilava, and my highest leveled Pokemon, so I'll be good.
Nost Ice are Water/Ice hybrids though, which sucks if you send in a fire, Fighting is your best choice.
Chuck was a Fighting-type anyway, and in my rush to get to the Elite Four, I had to rely on luck, which didn't work the first time, but worked the second time.
I'm up against Jasmine now, but I need to level up Aidan some more, preferably to the point where he evolves to his final form. Where's a good place to train a Quilava?
Ugh, can't believe I missed the HM for Rock Smash. Thank goodness I have Fly now. Now I just need to head up to Lake Rage and catch a Pidgeotto.
Also, I got a Shuckle from someone in...Cianwood, I believe it was. Do I have to return it at some point?

Use a Potion and switch out when Rollout becomes too troublesome, then. It'll only have twenty uses, so you can whittle that down gradually; plus, it'll get rid of his infatuation, to boot. When Rollout's all gone, that's no longer a hindrance, and you can continue using Onix as a fortress.

WHEEEEEEEEE! Defeated the Elite Four tonight! And in only one attempt! My team was Aidan (Lv. 43 Typholsion), Halcyon (Lv. 47 Lugia), Eleanor (Lv. 42 Ampharos), and Alice (Lv. 41 Kadabra); the cannon fodder were Folkvar (Lv. 15 Dratini) and Edlyn (Lv. 30 Lapras).
If I don't get an e-mail about my hold by then, I'm heading up to the library to get me my Enigma Stone Thursday.
Wow, I just remembered that I still need to try to catch Lugia... DX
I just threw a Master Ball at mine. I have a couple of spare ones on my Diamond copy, and if I'm lucky I can find more over the GTS. Is the Master Ball still the grand prize in the daily lotto at Goldenrod Radio Tower?
Probably is. I wouldn't be surprised, especially with the scant odds.
As for me, I'm saving my Master Ball for Pokemon that are either nigh-on impossible to capture or are annoying retreat cowards like Entei. XD
Oh, yes, of course, my other two Master Balls are reserved for Entei and Raikou.
Hopefully, I'll have traded my Suicune from FireRed over to SoulSilver by the time I catch up to her so I can try my Repeat Ball trick again, since it worked so well the first time.
I gotta say I've never thought of doing something like that before. What's the catch rate multiplier for an appropriately-used Repeat Ball?
I have absolutely no clue, but I believe Bulbapedia has that sort of information.
Black and White news: Psypoke (http://www.psypokes.com) reported on a Corocoro leak that reports Combination Attacks for triple battles. When certain attacks are executed in the correct order, additional effects will be added to the battle. For example: Fire and Water makes a lucky rainbow that boosts additional effects from your Pokemon's attacks, while Water and Grass will trap the opponents in a wetland and reduce their speed. Sounds like a barrel of awesomeness to me.
One has to wonder how many combinations there will be. Still, it sounds freaking awesome.
Hey, does anyone know if Raichu will receive the boost to his stats if he holds a Light Ball?
In the upcoming games? *shrug* I'd imagine not.
I meant any game, actually. I'm guessing Raichu doesn't get the boost then; that kind of sucks. So I guess the question now is which is stronger: Raichu or a Pikachu holding a Light Ball.
Yayz, I gots me my Groudon today. I expected to have used up all of my Heavy Balls and several Ultra Balls, but it only took four Heavy Balls. It used Rest and didn't wake up by the time I got it back down to 1 HP. Now if only I can get a Kyogre from HeartGold so I can get the Jade Orb for Rayquaza.
*squeal of delight*
Black and White is out in Japan! That means new infos!
There are eighteen new typings: Grass/Steel (sounds interesting), Normal/Grass, Bug/Electric, Bug/Fire, Dark/Dragon (awesomeness), Fire/Psychic (we already know this is Victiny's typing), Ground/Dark, Dark/Fighting, Ghost/Water, Ghost/Fire (sounds interesting as well), Electric/Ground (can't wait to see this one in action), Ghost/Ground, Steel/Dark, Fighting/Rock, Flying (that's right, there'll finally be a pure Flying type, barring an Arceus holding a Flying Plate), Dragon/Fire (Reshiram), Dragon/Electric (Zekrom), and Dragon/Ice.
The HMs are down to six: Cut, Fly, Surf, Strength, Waterfall, and Dive. There's a new TM set as well, but the count is still over fifty TMs.
The first gym changes depending on which starter you choose; the gym's type will be the type that trumps your starter.
Oh, hey, Giga Drain is stronger now; it went from a base power of 60 to 75.
Aw, man, it's about time we had a pure Flying-type! Awesomesauce!
Psypoke has some videos of BW gameplay. Dialogue is now shown in speech bubbles!
This game is getting better, and better, and better.
Man, the day they add actual free-roaming battles will be a glorious one.
I'm looking through Psypoke's Psydex, and the legendaries have been given second abilities, suggesting that you can encounter them in the Dream World. I can't wait to here how that'll work, assuming it's true.
Second abilities as in having two abilities at once?
Because that would be *beep*in'.
Um, no. A Pokemon with two abilities available to it can only have one ability active, not both. For example, a Snorlax can have either Immunity or Thick Fat, but not both. It's just that in Black and White, if you catch a Pokemon in the Dream World, it can have an ability that it doesn't normally have; for example, if you catch a Snorlax in the Dream World, it might have Gluttony instead of either Immunity or Thick Fat.

I know. For all I knew, they could've added that game mechanic, in light of all the awesome updates as of late.
Probably wouldn't be a good idea to do that, anyway. Suppose a Pokemon having two abilities gave it an unfair advantage over a Pokemon with only one ability?
Also, there's a tentative release date for Black and White on April 2, 2011. Keep an eye on it just in case it changes.

It's most certainly better than a Pokemon's stats being on super steroids in comparison to others, which has been the case since Generation I. Besides,
Pokemon is all about advantages and disadvantages. I really doubt a dual ability advantage would trump a type advantage, unless the programmers are feeling sadistic this time around.

Well, no. I'm assuming GameStop would have a better guess at when games are coming out since they're, you know, in the business of selling games. And it's not like they're guaranteeing it; when I asked the guy about the release date, he told me that unless the release date they have is within three months of the stated date in their binder, then the release date is subject to change. But I'm guessing we'll be seeing an official announcement soon. So, again, keep an eye out for it.
*news bump*
Urgh, sorry for all the double posting, but I seem to be a topic killer in GD. >>
Anywho, there's an upcoming event for players of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the 10th Anniversary Mew, available over Wi-Fi worldwide from October 15 to October 30. It'll be at level 5 and know Pound. You will need fewer than 3 Wonder Cards, and you will need to make sure you have an empty slot in your party to receive Mew when you pick it up.
Some more pretty slick news! Both involving music!
The first. You know the annoying low health beep that plays whenever you're...well, low on health? (I personally think it makes battles more epic, but whatever.) Apparently, it's been made into a song. And it works.
That goes the other way around, too. Remember that in Twilight Princess, when you had the upper hand against a boss, a triumphant sting would play? It looks like that Black and White are getting a similar treatment when you get the upper hand against Gym Leaders. And boy, is the song glorious. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSJ8FMCy-Q4)
I am once again announcing an upcoming event for the Gen IV games: the shiny Legendary Beasts! From January 3 to the 9th, go to GameStop to pick up Raikou. Come back January 17 to the 23 for Entei, and from January 31 to February 6, you can pick up Suicune. When you transfer them over to Black and White, you'll be able to catch Zoroark. Make sure you have no more than two Wonder Cards in your possession when you pick them up.
Aw, is it only GameStop where you can pick them up?
Yeah, it's only GameStop. Well, participating GameStops. But at least you can use any Gen IV game to get them.
