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. :)

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.

Lol, It's okay, Anyway, I've been getting bored of Pokemon Recently...

I'm sad.

TP Zelda

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...

The Glamour Nazi

I'm getting bored because I've been playing too much and I'm getting pumped (see move list) for the new game.

TP Zelda

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

The Glamour Nazi

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.

MagmarFire

I could try now. Would that be fine?

MagmarFire
