Lol I can just see us entering as "team TDC"

[MagmarFire]

AND HOLY CRAP, THE POKÉWALKER IS FRIGGIN' AWESOME. CAUGHT A PARAS. OWNAGE!

[The Glamour Nazi]

My DS is trash and I can't press the L+R buttons to reset my pokewalker.
:(

[Hi no Seijin]

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.

[MagmarFire]

Now I'm level grinding a bit before I face Whitney. This is gonna suck. v.v

[Hi no Seijin]

Would anyone recomend putting a Steelix on a team for competitive battling, or should I look for another Ground-type?

[The Glamour Nazi]

Steelix is good, has great stats, and earthquake.

[Hi no Seijin]

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.

[The Glamour Nazi]

yeah. Nice immunities too.

I feel sorry for it's speed though ...

[Hi no Seijin]

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 showed up on Psypoke yesterday!

[Hi no Seijin]

My apologies for the double post, but Psypoke 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.

Win.

The new professor, Professor Araragi, is a woman for the first time in Pokemon's history.

Discounting Professor Ivy from the anime, also win.

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;

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

a Steel-type whose name romanizes to Gear, with the abilities Plus and Minus;

Cool enough.

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;

You mean like Grumpig? I hope not.

Hihidaruma, a Fire-type ape Pokemon with a new ability that is unknown as to what it does right now;

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

Shimama, an Electric-type horse Pokemon with the abilities Lightningrod and Motor Drive;

EPIC WIN.

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.

Now that is what I'm talking about.

Two 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.

[Hi no Seijin]

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.

Chiramii

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.

Mamepato

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"?

Munna

What is... I don't even...

Hihidaruma


All I can say about this Pokemon is that they obviously just looked at a Daruma doll 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."

Shimama

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.

Meguroko

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.

[Hi no Seijin]

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.
