The previous thread's nearing max replies, so I thought I'd make a new one.
To start off, I'm going to say that I love my Magnezone. I caught a bunch of Magneton in the Safari Zone, bred the one that had the IVs for Fire-type Hidden Power, and wound up with one that had max IVs in Defense and Special Defense.That thing traps and TORCHES Steel-types. It's definitely going to have a place on my future competition team.
You got any Pok?mon you're proud of?

I'm pretty damn proud of my Togekiss, I must say. My Jirachi, as well.
-
I still remember raising my Breloom like it was yesterday :old:
-
I remember raising my Venusaur to level 100 in Pok?mon Red version.
I was only 9 or so. I'm still proud of it even if I don't have the game anymore :(
Now I feel old. I'm 20. xD
-
I'm actually not very proud of my pokemon i have and will likely reset my games and make 1 single team.
All I got are a bunch of sweepers.
-
I love my Togekiss for one shotting an Arceus
I love my Alakazam for...sweeping
I love my Pikachu for having one every pokemon game I have...except for blue
I love my Tyranitar because I raised it since I was eleven years old
I love my FEAR Starly even though I never tried using it
sixth slot goes to whatever

*wonders what people would think if he said he's proud of his RNG abused Pokemon
Speaking of which, I'm proud of hatching a 31/31/31/31/31/31 shiny Naive Bagon, with Dragon Dance as an egg move. RNG abuse ftw.
-
How dows one go about abusing the RNG?
-
How dows one go about abusing the RNG?
As in how to do it? If so...well, since I pretty much suck at explaining this, Smogon explains this way better than I do. I guess I'll try to explain in my own words. It's just that you have to hit the correct time, delay, and frame. For example, if you play Platinum, and you reset at...say 15:00:00, if you select to continue your game at 15:00:15, you would hit a delay of 650. Really, before you do anything else, calibrate your delay - it's important.
And speaking of delays...hopefully this might help some of you, should you learn it (I don't think this is mentioned in Smogon):
Platinum: (seconds/delay)
14 - 590
15 - 650
16 - 710
17 - 770
18 - 830
19 - 890
20 - 950
Heart Gold/Soul Silver: (seconds/delay...remember, it works differently)
14 - 520
15 - 580
16 - 640
17 - 700
18 - 760
19 - 820
20 - 880
21 - 940
22 - 1000
(sorry, I don't know about Diamond/Pearl...I've never RNG'd before in those cartridges)
If the delay you're looking for has an odd number, you might as well grab a 3rd gen game (preferrably Emerald). If not, you're pretty much out of luck; therefore you're stuck with even-number delays.
Oh, and get a coin flip (#15) application. This is to determine whether you hit the correct seed/delay or not.
If you're attempting to catch/hatch shinies, well, let me ask you this - did you unintentionally encounter a shiny? If so, use that to your advantage to find your 'Secret ID' - which determines which seed will contain that shiny. Unfortunately, I've never discovered my SID this way - I obtained it through another method. It's easier to check your SID in HG/SS (because of the Red Gyarados), really. And as for hatching, you will also need a happiness checker (#6). Why, you ask? To determine how many taps/coin flips you need to guarantee that shiny. RNG Reporter will tell you all that. Remember - everyone has a different SID.
Well, that should do it...let me know if you have any problems.
-
*wonders what people would think if he said he's proud of his RNG abused Pokemon
Hell, just be proud that you're skilled enough to manipulate the RNG in the first place.
-
I am so proud of my Togekiss. Ever since I hatched it at Union Cave it's only brought me amazingness. It's taken down more or less every major battle in the game, save Red, who is going to get his ass kicked later. Smiles ilu <3
-
I love all of my pokemon because I am a big faggot
Also, I'm re-playing my old Ruby version because why the hell not, I'm going to give shedinja and gardevoir spot on my main team
-
My ridiculously overleveled in-game Jigglypuff. Sure, it does crap damage, but it's got my Amulet Coin and money makes me happy. Plus, it's the only one who stood a chance against Lance's Dragonites. Hooray for slaving through Voltorb Flip to get Ice Beam!
There's also that Porygon-Z I bred last weekend. ~64 Power HP Fighting, Adaptability, and a 30 IV in sp. atk is good enough for me.

Not that there's anything wrong with that :3
-
So am I the only one obsessive enough to nickname every legendary I catch? I'm using Winter/Spring/Summer for the RBY bird trio, Sun/Moon for the GS birds, Behemoth/Leviathan/Ziz for the RSE trio, Reason/Passion/Instinct for the lake trio, and Kusanagi/Kagami/Magatama for the DPPt legendary trio.
Your nicknames of choice?
-
At first I chose to make sure that the Legendaries were the only things I DIDN'T nickname in my diamond version, but in my Heartgold, I do give them Names
My lvl 1 Giratina is named Lucy
The RSE trio is Behmoth/Leviathan/Ziz
Still havn't decided what I want to name Lugia, Ho-oh, or the 3 beasts yet. I'll probably name Suicun Satsuki though.
and if I catch Latiwatever I'll name it after a pop idol
Also, If I can, I'd name my lvl100 event arceus "T" and make it the last spot on a team of Unown that spell F A G G O
-
I have never bred, RNG abused, or gone EV training.
My Alakazam at level 45 one-shotted almost the entire Elite Four (except Dark types and Lance).
Everything else is decidedly meh. Currently have 11 badges. Alakazam is killing almost everything. Several levels of +5 Special Attack and +4 speed are helpful.

Diamond and SoulSilver
Lugia and Dialga are in overall much better due to not requiring specific teammates or only being used to beat/take advantage of Kyogre
-
I actually think I like Zekrom more than Reshiram, so I may be getting White version. They both surprisingly look pretty to me, but that's just me.

I honestly got one just for the Pok?dex data, but I'm considering training one for real just because it's got a damn awesome movepool.
Lanturn's also become one of my favorites during my SoulSilver playthrough because of Volt Absorb. Try and shock me now, you yellow merchandising whore

I never really noticed how few good pok?mon the DIamond/Pearl pok?dex is so...... reccomend me some pok?mons?
I already have a Turtwig and a Staravia and I'm currently located in Floaroma town.

Starly/Staravia/Staraptor is the best of the early-game birds by a longshot, stick with it (it's also going to be useful for the next couple gyms).
For the next few routes, I'd recommend picking up a Buizel and/or a Shinx.

Start with Chimchar, Fire-types are harder to find than Grass or Water in D/P/Pt.
The earliest Abra can be found is on Route 203 (just east of Jubilife). Gastly can be occasionally encountered in Eterna Forest, you're guaranteed to find one in the mansion you can access there after getting Cut. If you're willing to look you can have both Pok?mon before your second badge.
-

Sounds good.
Tentative team: Infernape, Alakazam, Gengar (all for sure), Gastrodon, Staraptor, ???
Staraptor's probably in, not so sure about the last two slots. Need a water type (not enthusiastic about Gastrodon though), maybe a grass?
-
So I'm playing some Pokemon Heart Gold. This is some good stuff. WIth the help of Garlyle, I have probably the most random (planned) final team ever.
Feraligatr, Jumpluff, Yanmega, Girafarig, Jolteon, and Mamoswine
Let the lulz begin!
-
I had a Yanmega when I played Heart Gold.
It did nothing but spam Flash and SonicBoom.

It is random, but you have a lot of good selections on there. The Mamoswine looks like it will be very helpful against Lance.

I'm thinking of accidentally pressing B + Start + Whatever and going "oops" on my Heart Gold. :V
Maybe.
-
Tentative team: Infernape, Alakazam, Gengar (all for sure), Gastrodon, Staraptor, ???
And now Gastrodon has been replaced with a Gyarados and for some reason I have a Jolteon making funny noises at me in slot six. Oh well.
-
Gyarados is awesome you can chuck 2-3 HM's on it and It can still kill things reliably assuming it got the Waterfall HM.
It also has some crazy moves availible like Thunder Wave
-
Gyarados is indeed awesome. I trained a Magikarp from the Pok?walker, I'm running Waterfall/Earthquake/Ice Fang/Dragon Dance. I probably should have kept Bounce on, but a) I don't like 2-turn moves and b) I feel Ice Fang has better type coverage.
-
And now Gastrodon has been replaced with a Gyarados and for some reason I have a Jolteon making funny noises at me in slot six. Oh well.
And now for some reason I have a Scyther instead of the Jolteon. The Jolteon is probably better balance for my team, but c'mon, it's a Scyther.

Awesome I called it Reshiram is SR weak again but Ho-oh and Groudon get a new friend.
So far when I get Black I think i'll get that Crocodile and the Pidgeon because I always get the Normal/Flying Bird.

It's an active case of pok?rus! Wonderful. Unfortunately, it was probably a cloned pok?mon because the trader in question wanted a Seadra. Probably includes the ball as well. Some other trade I picked up a Delibird captured in a master ball and, yeah.
Got tired of looking for a reasonable request for Salamence, so I put up a Garchomp and it comes just like that! I didn't know it would increase the number of available trainers up to seven in a given search, which was wonderful as well.
Disappointed to receive a max revive for first prize in the drawing after picking up an exp. share for second place. I guess it would be more useful than a bunch of exp. shares, but it doesn't sit right.
I would link to the original trading post, but editing is no longer possible so it gets moved here.
Request
-Lake trio (Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf)
- Preferably untouched since their capture.
- Preferably contained in a Net, Nest, or Dusk ball.
- OT name should be appropriate. Nothing strict, but I don't want a name like 'iiiiiii' (http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/zz242/AnonymousPM/HeartGold/P6130215.jpg) to go with them.
- Please rename them to their English names (all caps).
-Glaceon
- I will supply the Eevee.
- It does not matter which pokemon is defeated for the experience, but please defeat only one. Just in case, please report the name of the pokemon defeated when transferring Glaceon back.
-Leafeon
- Same as the above, but I'll be supplying a total of two Eevee because I can't decide on what gender it should be.
-Qualot Berry
-Tamato Berry
I'm looking for borrow an Arceus to trigger the Sinjoh Ruins event. Unfortunately, I doubt there's anything I have capable of serving as collateral so it'll have to come down to trust (but of course you can suggest something like Kyogre, because I'm not giving it up otherwise).

Hi my strongest physical electric move has only 65 power.
Luxray actually sucked when I used him so I hate him.
I love my Luxray. I even used him against the 8th Gym Leader's Luxray rather than throw out my Graveller because I was sure my guy would win (he didn't, GL got a critical).
-
Heart Gold. I'm just before going out to the Elite 4, I haven't managed to beat the Kimono Girls yet either. My team is rapidly changing because it wasn't performing as well as I wanted it to. I'm really annoyed at how many Pokemon that I want aren't available until National Dex. *sigh* Anyways, once I catch the rest of my new team, it's training time so I can get to the Elite 4.
Any opinions on this team?
Feraligatr (Water)
Jolteon (Electric)
Crobat (Flying/Poison)
Ambipom (Normal)
Forretress (Bug/Steel)
Gliscor (Ground/Flying)
I'm up for replacing that Gliscor if anybody knows of a better choice to round out the team.
-
I'm considering discarding 3 shiny Milotics (all cloned legits)...so if anyone wants a free shiny Milotic, let me know. In case anyone is curious about the info, well here it is:
Level: 5
EV's: None
IV's (HP/Atk/Def/Sp.Atk/Sp.Def/Spe): 31/30/31/31/31/27
Mirror Coat
Ice Beam
Surf
Toxic
Other notes: 100% legit, RNG abused, has Mirror Coat as egg move
Why am I discarding it? I only bred to obtain a shiny Feebas w/ HP electric, in which I ragequitted after so many attempts as of last year. Returned to breeding, and thus I succeeded. However, this Milotic above doesn't have HP electric.
(If I don't respond in time, PM me.)
-
>ambipom
well you're pretty much good
-
Wait, how'd you get Gliscor before the National Dex? Did you trade a Razor Fang from another version?
That slight confusion aside, it's a fairly solid team, although if you want to replace something, I'd put an Arcanine or another Fire-type on.
-
I don't have a Gliscor, I was just sputing out planned team info, so it's unevolved right now. I actually forgot that I couldn't get the required item yet so maybe I'll trade him in for a fire type of some sort. Thanks for the advice on that one, I just wish I wasn't off limits from so many pokemon without the National Dex. I want my Bronzong and Flygor. =(

Help why cant i stop using the PSP for silly things like posting on MoTK?

Salamence voted Uber. And he was so easy to deal with because of stealth rock and 4x weak to ice too...
-
Interesting but then again i'm staying away from the competitive pokemon stuff until Black and White come out so it doesn't effect me much.
-
I blame Outrage.
Man that move is OP :/
-
I missed the Jirachi event AGAIN.
Oh well, it's not like I'd have used it anyway, and all it did was unlock a Pok?walker course.
-
I blame Outrage.
Man that move is OP :/
It only became OP once it became Physical.

there is a new menu option called ?Shooter.?
Hell yes! What kind of "Shooter" are we talking about?!

Yeah so, I got the idea to pick a game and do a giant series of challenges involving using a Pokemon team comprised of only one type (dual types allowed). Basically think Gym Leaders. Garlyle mentioned that Fire Red Omega (some rom hack involving all Pokemon?) would be best to do this with and I'll probably make Water my first run.

Say hello to Reimu. :V
(Yeah his name is totally Reimu)
-
Wait what?
Anyways I need to get a new team on my DS cards sometime.
-
Oh pff, turns out his name isn't Reimu at all; it's Dento. :V
But yeah, there's a new season of the Pok?mon anime based around Pok?mon Black & White that's about to start once they finish up the DP series.

Mono-type challenges are as old as the internet, but.
Good luck anyway
-
Yeah well I don't play Pokemon that often, so mono-type is new to me. :V
Also haven't even started this yet because I can't get the Firered rom to cooperate with save type issues.

Flash 128k plz
-
Yes of course, that's the first fix I found out. Sadly the most obvious fixes never seem to work for me since I'm still having issues. :V
-
So if you aren't aware yet, new Mystery Gift is the Enigma Stone, which allows you to catch a special Latios/Latias.
-
I wish I could use Wi-Fi and get that. I could use another Latios to teach Dragon Dance and no Physical Moves.
-
I really need to finish Soul Silver, I stopped months ago before I even got to Ecruteak because I got sick of having to train my new Pokemon up for this ridiculously specific party that probably isn't even that great anyway, and I still can't decide what should go in the 6th spot.
I want that Latias but I'm no where near getting the National Dex.
-
I want that Latias but I'm no where near getting the National Dex.
Well, as long as you have the Enigma Stone from Mystery Gift, you can take as long as you need to catch it.
-
Pokemon Black and White version incoming in Japan in a few weeks.
I'm probably gonna pick it up.
-
Excellent I hope Smogon/Hackers can crack the Rom quickly and get translations so I can beging to theorymon.
And I hope that Eagle doesn't end up in the same boat as the other normal flyers besides Staraptor.

-
Nah Smogon will likely have stuff soon after it's release. Besides I mainly want new move descriptions for the most part.
-
hopefully this isn't a bad necro because it's already a topic series
lol, "hax clause"
Sceptile used Energy Ball.
It's not very effective...
Toxicroak lost 37% of its health.
Chloroform's Toxicroak fainted.
The battle has ended.
Analyzing battle data for luck factors...
Chloroform wins!
EeveeTrainer: WTF
EeveeTrainer: OMG
Chloroform: XD
also thought about getting a DS just to join the fun...and I should be able to get B/W at launch. Do it y/n
And is Tropius any good? :V

Nope :smug:
-
I'll use him anyways because IT'S A MOTHERFUCKING TROPIUS and fuck metagame and OU and whatnot
anyways how does wifi battling work
do most people get legit pokes or they just shark what they want? I'm really behind the last gen :V
-
anyways how does wifi battling work
If you want to battle someone over wifi you'll need to trade friend codes and add each other to your respective Pal Pads. The wifi center ingame is the lower floor in any poke center. In there you'll see whoever else is registered in your pal pad if they're online, and you can either trade or battle with them.
do most people get legit pokes or they just shark what they want? I'm really behind the last gen :V
Most pople use legits but there's really nothing stopping anyone from using lv 100 Slaking with pure power or w/e
-
by legit I obviously meant sharked but legit pokemons because people cba to train and there are no differences, not Wondertombs and truantless Slakings :V
atleast my lack of nerdy irl friends won't screw me out of Steelixes and whatnot this time
EDIT: more questions
Do really so many people go by the smogon tiers? Checked some wifi battles on youtube, no Garchomps at all.
And does everyone breed for perfect and shit, or 99% of the wifi videos are by competitive players?
-
Well, the guys at Smogon tend to test everything before making any changes on tiers. Tests that usually take some months IIRC.
It would make sense for most people playing competitively to have them as their first source to check what to play, and what not to.
About breeding for perfect, I'm not so sure. It does take a lot of time, but since we now have Internet, and a way to clone Pok?mon... It's easier to get that near-perfect IV baby if many people try at once as a team, then clone the result and distribute.
-
Yeah, but how many people actually make their teams competitive?
I don't really like Smogon because it affects almost every player...and the fact that way too many people just get everything off there instead of being original. And people which bitch about DT in friendly battles and stuff.
-
Yeah, but how many people actually make their teams competitive?
You have a point there.
Overall, I think you can do good without breeding for near-perfect IVs. Of course, you should still pick the ones with higher IVs whenever possible.
Aaand, I think most people are stuck with Smogon-like tiers. Evasion depends on luck, and while it is a valid strategy... A lot of people also get upset because they usually don't want to include 100% accuracy moves, or Rain Dance + Thunder (Speaking of which, I still want to see a Thunder bypassing Protect in the rain), etc.. In fact, evasion was one of the main reasons Smogon wanted to ban Garchomp from OU. Everyone would complain how their "counters" would miss one attack, then get KOed by Garchomp, then everything went to hell.
Your best bet would be to ask whoever you're battling if he/she is OK with DT before the battle...
-
Yeah, but how many people actually make their teams competitive?
I don't breed for IVs, and I use Pok?mon I think I can make work regardless of tier. I'm especially fond of trying to run unconventional Pok?mon like Lanturn and Bibarel.
-
Bah, fallen back into this game. Can be rather hellish working out the kinks of a team...
I don't breed for IVs, and I use Pok?mon I think I can make work regardless of tier. I'm especially fond of trying to run unconventional Pok?mon like Lanturn and Bibarel.
Making a "crappy" Pokemon great makes you into a badass. No exceptions. :V
-
I'll use him anyways because IT'S A MOTHERFUCKING TROPIUS and fuck metagame and OU and whatnot
It does get Dragon Dance and is one of the pokemon that should be awesome but aren't.
Also Lanturn isn't that Unconventional it just needs to be used properly.
-
Also Lanturn isn't that Unconventional it just needs to be used properly.
It's really great on the defensive, as it resists the most common special attacks and can inflict paralysis or confusion.
Bibarel I want to use because Simple makes it seem promising to Baton Pass to.
-
All UU pokemon are okay and can be used. It's the OU pokemon that are better and game-breaking. For instance, Choice Scarf Tyranitar.
-
Still haven't bothered to try and fix my stupid emulator issue (still get the signs of saving issues despite changing my settings to the correct savetype) but I think I came up with a Monotype Ice team that I reallly like. Opinions?
Abomasnow
Glaceon
Regice
Froslass
Walrein
Mamoswine

Regice isn't that great despite being a legendary, because it's good defenses are a mismatch for it's poor defensive typing. You may want to consider Weavile as a revenge killer or choice bander instead. I'd want to know what movesets you're planning before i judge any further though :V
-
Articuno is likely a better defensive Ice type if you can stop Stealth Rock but if it's for in-game only it looks fine.
Also Smogon does a very good job on exploring most pokemon thoroughly but most of the sets they make are bog standard.
-
Lapras is pro man
-
Only in RBY :V
Still tons of lower tier pokemon have lots of promise it's just the smogon sets are generally more consistent despite beeing wasily predicted.
This makes odd things like Choice Scarfed Gyarados or Lower tier Pokemon hilarious in Standard against people who don't know what to do.
-
How well would a focus sash scyther do? :V
-
I could sweep Sana's team with one :V
In all seriousness it might have some value as a revenge killer but (insert Smogon Scizor here) could do most of what it does better. Still has promise though.
-
yeah they usually have a life orb
What about a Fire Fang Steelix? Should counter Scizors nicely...a Steelix should be able to take a non STAB Superpower, right?
-

It depends on whether Scizor's able to Swords Dance first.
-

You should clearly be asking if Steelix can take a CB Bullet Punch instead :V
-

if he has CB, he most likely won't get atk boosts
is a CB bullet punch that damaging even when NVE and vs 200 def?
-
I feel like the I'm the only one here who has nothing to do with competitive battling...
On topic though, currently training a Flareon. After this reaches Level 100, I'll finally have all of the Eevee evolutions at Level 100.
-
I remember Flareon being a bit underwhelming thanks to the fire type-physical attacker stuff...are there any good physical fire moves now? :V
-
I remember Flareon being a bit underwhelming thanks to the fire type-physical attacker stuff...are there any good physical fire moves now? :V
Only ones Flareon doesn't learn like Fire Punch, Blaze Kick (debateable), Flare Blitz and lol Sacred Fire. :V
-

I don't know. The only physical fire move I actually had it learn was Fire Fang because I don't do the whole "breeding for moves" thing.
-
I don't know. The only physical fire move I actually had it learn was Fire Fang because I don't do the whole "breeding for moves" thing.
Thats the only one it gets and it's not very good.
-
Didn't realize that Regice was a legendary since I was just looking at ALL 22 ICE POKEMON and picking from that list. Seriously, with all the pokemon in existence how the crap is there only 22 Ice types. It's sickening and depressing. :colonveeplusalpha:
On another note, I guess Weavile would be pretty good to have. I wouldn't mind Lapras but then I'd have two water types in there and blah. This is purely for main-game stuff, not competitive or anything... so really I don't care about movesets enough to plan them. :V
So final team is:
Abomasnow
Glaceon
Weavile
Froslass
Walrein
Mamoswine
...Seems pretty good to me. I actually get an okay type spread here too with Grass, Dark, Ghost, Water, and Ground mixed in. My only concerns are how terrible of a defensive type Ice is. Glass cannons ahoy?
-

You are my mono-Grass teams weakness.
Shit.
-
I might try one of these mono-type challenges too.
It would have to be in Platinum.
I'd like to do steel in Platinum, would this be a poor choice?
I can trade from basically any of the GBA games, Soul Silver and Diamond, but i refuse to use most legendaries.
-
Any mono-type team can be a "poor choice" since there's going to be a handful of gyms that are just made to rape you, so don't really put too much thought into if a certain type will be good or not. I picked Ice simply because it's my favorite element in most games. In Pokemon it's a pretty bad typing but who cares.
That said, Steel is a fantastic defensive typing so most things will have a hard time getting through your pokemon and I can see it being a fun one to do.
-
Well, Platinum would be slightly easier than any of the other DS games to do Steel in partly because you can get Magnezone without a National Dex/trading.
-
when I was 10, Steelix was the shit
I remember fighting Jasmine with a Typhlosion, not knowing he's weak to fire and using Dig like 20 times :V
ever since, I wanted a fucking Steelix
-

Reminds me of when I beat Brock in Red with my Metapod. Hardened 'bout 40 times, then struggled them bitches :smug:
-
I didn't know for a while that you had to trade an Onix holding a Metal Coat to make it evolve into Steelix. For some reason I thought it would happen through leveling up, so I would train Onix until they were in their 40s or 50s before I would get sick of nothing happening and get rid of them.
Ok, so steel in Platinum it is.
So far a rough idea for a team might be:
Empoleon
Metagross
Aggron/Steelix
Magnezone
Skarmory
Scizor/Lucario
This isn't final and since I haven't started yet it's open to changes, though the Metagross stays. I'm open to suggestions, especially since this is my first time doing something like this.
-
Heatran over Aggron/Steelix and Lucario over Skamory.
Heatran is overpowered and can make things easy for you and Skamory is for stall teams. Judging from the presence of Scizor, I'm guessing it isn't a stall team.
-
Thank you, but I have somewhat of a problem with Heatran . The only one I could get is the one in my copy of Diamond, which comes at level 70. I'd have to trade him over, and being level 70 he wouldn't behave and he'd be somewhat annoying and useless until quite far into the game, by which point I'd be practically done.
The only reason I mentioned Skarmory is because it's steel and can learn Fly (I have a good friend, his name is move deleter.) So I'll just get rid of it if that will make the team better.

Back in the day, when Pokemon was good...

That picture makes R/S look far more enjoyable than it really is...

So. According to Serebii, about the last 13 Pokemon in the Isshu Dex are legendaries.
If this is confirmed, then what were they thinking?

So. According to Serebii, about the last twenty Pokemon in the Isshu Dex are legendaries.
If this is confirmed, then what were they thinking?
Eh, I only see 12, to be exact (13, counting Victini). This is a step down from DP's 14 legendaries. :V
Pokebeach has more detailed information about that, by the way. This generation's pseudo-legendary powerhouse is a three-headed Dark/Dragon. Also, Dragon/Ice legendary can be POKEMON GRAY material.
Yay New York region.

Yeah. I probably should've counted them first. :derp:
I DO however approve of the legendary that will be the first Pokemon (excluding Arceus) to become a pure Flying-type. :3
-
So like, 3 or 4 new Pokemon are getting leaked every hour. Lots of awesome ones, a couple derpy ones. Seems better than most of 4th gen though.
jellybaby is still the best, life orb + trick room fuck yeah
-
Anyone else think that
633/634 look like The Beatles...? Also, hell yes to a ghost-candle and the icecream that looks like he wants my blood... (Baniricchi and half of his evolution).
-

Yeah. I'm diggin' the chandelier guy that comes from the ghost candle Pokemon.
-
I'm actually amazed some of these actually seem as good as the 3rd gen pokemon that where tolerable.
-
I hafta say, this makes up for third/forth gen so far.
Also, holy crap mecha bug with awesome stats!
Are they finally getting what they deserve? (Ya know, like some decent pokemon. :| )
-
Scizor says hi
Also Some of the more influential people on smogon are favoring a no bans attitiude for the start of 5th gen.
Also the Rock/Flying archaeopteryx looks very interesting.
-
Eh, Scizor's just a bug with a metal shell, this dude's a freakin'
mecha.
And I'm not terribly 'in' to the tourney/competitive scene, is that unusual?
-

They started the first 5 gens more or less with a pre existing ban although in RBY it was warranted GSC it can be debated less so in RSE and there due to tradition basicly in 4
-
So yeah Smogon's gotten those roms cracked and the tables out Gamefreak has trolled comptetitive pokemon to the extreme.
EDIT: Okay this is going to be overly ridiculous from the start if the "Dream World" abilities are correct. Blaziken will go from Meh to lol thanks to Speed Boost
-
Anyone who denys 5th gen being the best gen ever is only deluding themselves.

My team for Isshu. COME AT ME BRO.
-
I have Pokemon White now! But I just started.
It's very pretty! :]
-
I'm actually planning on picking up Black myself because I need a Reshiram for my Groudon and Ho-oh. I still havent found out if Wargle is a version exclusive yet.
-
Pokemon black came in. I'm now on my 6th badge and heading towards my 7th. Team currently looks like this:
Emboar lv.38
gamgeroge lv. 38
Warubiru lv. 38
That zebra thing lv 38
giant yorkshire terrier lv 38
-hm slave
Can't find Wargle yet.
Also everything is a freaking tank in this game
-
I still havent found out if Wargle is a version exclusive yet.
Wargle is the Eagle, right? I'm 99% certain it's a Black exclusive (The other 1% is that I've totally mucked up the charts in my head and it's White - White has the Vulture-looking bird as an exclusive)
Protip from experience: At least for the first three gyms, you can always find a pokemon capable of massively assisting against a gym leader by progressing a little past the gym then coming back. Advantangeous Monkey is given by an NPC in the lot near the first gym, there are fighting types and Rock Smash TM on the route after the second gym, and you can find the fire-type Daruma in the desert right following the third gym
-
I feel lonely now since I'm waiting for the Spring release. :ohdear:
-
I've actually not played the game myself i'm just reading up on what has been learned about it so far.

That's basically my situation, although from what you said, you'll probably get it months before me. :3
-
I feel lonely now since I'm waiting for the Spring release. :ohdear:
I'm waiting too.
A friend of mine is importing White (that's the one with Zekrom right? He said he didn't like Reshiram, it was too fluffy or something.) So I can just find out how it is from him, like I did for HG/SS.
I'm making a point of avoiding information about these games as much as possible though so I can go into them fresh, with no expectations, like I did for Ruby and Sapphire back when they were first released. I made a mistake with Generation IV by waiting years before deciding to buy the games so everything was spoiled and less enjoyable than it could have been.
-

I'm reading the info just because I wanna see what other features the games have. Also, thats more or less why I'm getting White as well. :3
-
Whew, now that things have died down a bit, I can safely say that I'm more hyped about the story and characters rather than the Pokemon themselves. =P Having said that, those Dream World abilities are certainly... interesting, and the music is fabulous (especially the Gym Leader themes <3). I'll just wait for the NA release, though. No rush.
In the meantime, I'm impatiently waiting for more Sugimori art.
-
I'm reading the info just because I wanna see what other features the games have. Also, thats more or less why I'm getting White as well. :3
I'm looking at things like how triple battles work and new features and what the setting and music are like, but I'm avoiding looking too much into the new pokes, outside of what they are and what they look like. I don't want to make the mistake of playing the first time with a party already picked out like I did with Diamond, which made things less fun because it made me feel unable to try out whoever I wanted.
I like Reshiram actually, I didn't at first, but it and it's white fluffiness grew on me. I'm having a hard time deciding which version of the game to get. But I don't like Pokabu's evolutions at all (I'm sorry if anyone does, but I really don't.) I'm probably picking Mijumaru.
It'll be exciting to see the names for the new Pok?mon in other languages.
-
I like Mijumaru, I like his 2nd stage, but his 3rd stage is out of fucking nowhere and looks ugly as sin. I am so disappoint that I picked Pokabu for my starter. I never, NEVER, pick the fire starter.
-
I actually like Mijumaru's 3rd stage, and Tsutarja is the first grass starter in a while that I would actually consider picking (I think since Bulbasaur). I don't like grass types very much at all actually. I usually pick fire for my starter, but I can't bring myself to because of that stupid wrestling...thing. And how many Pok?mon with that type combination does the game need?
-
Finally got around to beating the E4 and Champion in Heart Gold. :V
-
I wouldn't necessarily agree that Daikeneki looks bad, but seriously its moveset is pretty delicious stuff. I'll probably be choosing him.
-
I always pick the water starter so Imma goin' for Mijimaru.
Also, I will rage if I hear ANY music from the game before I get it. One of the best parts about playing a new Pokemon game is plugging my headphones into the DS and listening to the music.
-
Y'know, I was gonna pick the water starter out of sympathy for the poor guy, but after seeing the grass form's final form, I'ma goin' for Smugleaf :V
-

I picked the water starter because of the whole "we wear blue" comic which was adorable as hell.
Also I am never, ever evolving it.
-
Also I am never, ever evolving it.
Smart man. Going with Smugleaf here. Emboar's got that flame beard description going on, though... and I do love me some epic beards.
-
I'm likely to just dump the starter because there are simply more interesting pokemon to choose from.
-
like togepi
-
like togepi
too bad there's no 1st-4th gen Pokemon until after the National Dex.

I'm okay with the team I have at the moment, but I'm only just finished with the first gym so it will definitely change in the future.
I really enjoy purple slut kitty right now, her Assist move is a pretty cool move as metronome that only pulls from your teams moves. I could see it pulling some bullshit in matches if you're lucky.
-
Assist was Gen III. :x
(http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/764/59308945.png)
Eh, better then Gen IV.
-
I think I mentioned that I chose Smugleaf.
If I didn't, I just mentioned it now.
-
Purple slut kitty is something I wanted to use but have been trouble using, because it just doesn't pack any of the punch I'd like it to.
Also despite being a Dark-type, the other two vendor trash Pokemon you encounter early in the game will learn a dark-type move (Bite) earlier than it.
Fffff.
-
I'm probably getting the fire or water type depending on what my siblings choose, mostly because I want the dream world ability for Smugleaf, and the starter one would go unused.
Team's probably gonna look like this:
Rankurusu (Trick room sweeper)
Doreida (Sunny day support)
Zuruzukin (Bulk up)
Goruggo (Physical attacker)
Burunkeru (Tank/Status)
Emboar (Reckless attacker)
Then after main game, I'll make dark, ghost, and psychic themed teams :V
-
I think purple slut kitty was thrown in there early more for the defensive typing purposes than the attacks, considering two other pokemon get a dark attack before her. She's the only dark type around for a long while it seems.
I've rather enjoyed the early game trash this game though. I'm especially fond of Advantageous Monkey (Water). Yes, thanks to Garlyle I'm calling the monkey trio that forever. I definitely loved how the battle music amped up when the first gym leader brought out his Advantageous Monkey.
-
The leopard gets Mischevious Heart as an ability. This means always getting to use Taunt and other status moves first. It's actually pretty awesome for support and all that.
-
O-kay! playing through LeafGreen to reorient myself with the series. Is it just me, or is Parasect kinda... broken...? I'm having trouble trying to keep it from overshadowing my other two current Pokemon because of how fast it levels up...
-
Nah he levels quicker but he has poor moves and lower stats than most so in the end he'll likely be weaker unless you signifigantly overlevel him.
-

Uhhh
Parasect gets Spore and has Slash, poor moveset it does not have.
Not arguing about the stats though
-

There's also the matter of "spontaneously combusts if a Fire-type so much as stares at it". Parasect's okay if you put False Swipe on it and use it to help catch stuff, although if you can get a Breloom it pretty much obsoletes it.

>Leaf Green
:/
Okay, fine, you can trade, but still.
-
TBH, I only rated Parasect based on how I felt it compared to the other grass types. It specfically counters Exeggutor at the very least. :]
-
To be honest Spore is all I really think Parasect ever had going for it. Slash is kinda meh and Spore comes late IIRC.
Also Fire Blast Tauros might be useable in 5th gen with Encourage.
-
Speaking of Leaf Green, I remember the trade Mr. Mime being incredibly obnoxious. Not only was he in the low 80's while the rest of my team was half his level due to trade bonuses, he completely destroyed most anything that came around. Magical Leaf is a fun ninja-grass move.
-
Hey so like I can't find any clear information on Black and White, what new game mechanics does it have? All I've heard is that you can do 3v3 now which sounds like a clusterfuck.
-

In all honesty, a lot of stuff hasn't changed. The biggest core mechanic changes that comes to mind is
1 - EXP now scales based on level differences (Which means you spend the majority of the game being roughly the level of your opponents, and that it's really hard to overgrind for anything).
2 - TMs are now infinitely reusable
I mean there's a lot of new features like the 3v3 battles (Which are rather neat), random wi-fi battles, the whole dream world thing, c-gear, etc.; but there's very few mechanics that have changed. Some moves have been rebalanced, old Pokemon have new abilities and stuff, etc., on top of the slew of new moves and Pokemon... but compared to the changes between generations in the past, the mechanical differences are slight.
There's just a lot of improvements beyond just the mechanics.
-
I finally got Pokemon White on my DS!
...I had to do it at school but totally worth it!
...Ima start a new game :]

2 - TMs are now infinitely reusable
So basically, as I suspected, once they added held items and abilities and fixed all the problems with RBY's original system, there wasn't any new mechanical space to explore with the current battle system. And they wouldn't dare to try anything new with the core mechanics, so they'll never do anything new with the battle system again. Fantastic.
I was getting tired of the Pokemon formula back in Gen 3. I swear, if Gen 6 doesn't break free and make a new battle system, then...then...then...I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
Did they at least do anything about the fucking HMs?
-
Should be anime-style battlans, amirite?
-

:o

Hey guys!
I'm steamrolling through the game right now, just beat the 1st gym in under 2 hours! I suspect the 2nd gym will trash me though.

Name: リスチー
In case anyone cares!
-
Did they at least do anything about the fucking HMs?
There's less of them than there has been in the past two generations and as far as cut/strength goes, once they take effect, it stays affected instead of resetting when you return. I think you can also freely overwrite HM moves now too, which works nice with the whole infinite TM thing.
Either way I'm fine with them working on balancing and tweaking the current system, as opposed to completely overhauling it. Ultimately, the mechanics have been sets of smaller changes and new features that over the course of four new generations have completely overwriten almost everything under the hood, but it's still largely the same as it was since the first one.
Besides, it seems like this game focused more on improving outside of the battle system. The flow of the game, the amount of story, the variety of the world, the quality of the visuals, use of dynamic music, the level of challenge, etc., were all very carefully worked on and are pretty significant improvements over past entries in the series (There are people who say that there's more story in the opening cutscene when you power the game on than in any of the other main pokemon games as a whole, and they might be right honestly).
So I suppose if you're purely into Pokemon for the competitive metagame (well actually you might look in anyway because dream world abilities have kidneypunched the competitive scene completely, but anyway), you probably won't find as much significant... but if you're not the type to enter that scene it's a difference that you can definitely feel.
EDIT: Oh yeah, they did a lot of little tweaks towards making the game play much faster than before, which might not sound like much but if you've been playing Pokemon for a long time, it really feels faster.
So ultimately, it's not like a whole lot can be really qualified as "oh this mechanic changed", but rather the mechanics are packaged in a far better packaging this time.
-
I have a feeling they completely revised the EXP curves to accomodate EXP scaling too, because it's way easier to level against Pokemon of your own level
-
Alright sorry, I didn't mean to sound like Chainsaw Guitar or something. I'm just bothered that it seems like Pokemon is always the same game, just with a tweaked game mechanic or one new feature, and now this one comes along and they didn't even bother to add a new feature to the core gameplay. It reeks of incredible laziness.

If the part about freely overwriting HM moves is true this sounds like an okay solution. Diamond really pissed me off with forcing you to have at least one full-time HM slave and other HM moves scattered on the rest of your team.

Speaking of which, how is the flow of the game? Did they do a better job of dispersing type varieties of Pokemon? I would flip my shit if we got another ten thousand water types and one fire type, looking at the Pokedex it looks like that's not the case at least. But do the Pokemon vary more by area? Does every cave still use the exact same Pokemon as the last (minus one rare one differing)?
Also what is this dream world thing? I haven't heard about that.
ALSO, DID THEY FIX FUCKING STEALTH ROCK?
-
The type varieties definitely seem to be better varied. It's a bit controlled early on - they actually designed the first gym to use this against you and require you to branch out and search a little more to get something specifically to counteract that. You very quickly get access to pretty much any types you'd want, however, and given that there's more Pokemon added in this generation than there was in the first gen in total, there's no real shortage of options.
As for what is where, I will say that they varied up the environments enough that you aren't just journeying through cave after cave, and on top of that from what I can see of an encounters-by-area list (Though it's far from complete), it appears that the pokemon you can meet up with change fairly constantly. Since there are only new pokemon up until you obtain the National Dex, this really helps keep things fresh throughout.
As for the dream world, it's one of the new features. You can upload your save data online, and then go traipsing through the "Dream World" using your normal net, where you can find pokemon you wouldn't normally find in the game. They carry different abilities from their traditional counterparts, however, and if you're big on the metagame, some of these have opened some interesting new opportunities for Pokemon that previously were ignored.
As for Stealth Rock... it works the same, sadly, but there are more ways to counter it (including bouncing it back at your opponents) this time.

ELECTRIC ZEBRA
how is that not awesome
come on stuffman
also you can get a psychic type damnably early

That was uncalled for. Care to explain why you felt that was necessary?

You reap what you sow, kid.

So in #T-M Trance, Matsuri and I decided to make a channel for Pokemon and potentially arranging matches using Shoddy Battle, Pokemon Online and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It's named #Poke-Meido because thats what happens to every channel that is made to unclog #T-M.
Also more people should use Pokemon online as located here http://www.pokemon-online.eu/ it's a pretty good UI for making teams easily.
-
That's #Poke-meido on ppirc, to be more specific. No more dejatoons thank god <3333
-

Wow, is that ever fucking biased. I cannot believe you would actually hold past experiences against me. That was a totally unprovoked personal attack, there's no justifying that.
-
Don't start none, won't be none, pal.
Listen, I can dig the StarMan.EXE profile setup, because he's basically the best thing to ever happen to that series outside of Roll, but there is such a thing as reputations, and they tend to stick. You have no one to blame but yourself for people thinking the way they do about you and your mannerisms. If you want to change their way of thinking, change your conduct.
A good starting point would be to do less of this (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,7215.msg446480.html#msg446480).

...you know, what's horrific is that I can almost agree with this and I'm a big Battle Network fan. Though I'd personally side towards either 5DS for not requiring dual version bullcrap and having everything in one game, or the series finally ending and then Star Force starting, as the best thing that would happen--*OFFTOPIC'D*
-

You wouldn't.
-
Can we take the drama to PMs so we can have less attacks and moar Pokemans in the pokemans thread? :V
On a more related note, I'm really fond of the new battle graphics in this game. It makes it seem a lot more lively than before where you just had the completely still sprites and such.
-
You wouldn't.

Black/White has no Pokemon from former generations until after you get the NationalDex (With the possible exception of the Dream World. Unfortunately we're a little stingy on info from the Dream World because it's been down due to overloaded servers and needing upgrades to handle it, olololol)

I know rite? Too bad it feels weak to almost everything. Even the game's resident caterpillar can kick its ass
.
I ended up doing a chart on /tr/ of my favourite pokemon of each type by generation, and came to the horrifying realisation that I really don't like a lot of the old Pokemon anymore (Chances are I'm just sick of them), even though the ones that used to make my eyes light up still do (Fun stuff like Hoppip I LOVE HOPPIPS and my inexplicable love for Natu/Xatu). Then I hit fifth generation, and realised a lot of the designs were interesting enough that I actually can get excited about a lot of them.
Also it has the first fighting types I might consider using in the history of the series. I have hated fighting types throughout the whole series; Pokemon that look humanoid just don't "click" with me and up until this generation's Legendary Three(+1) Muskedeers
, I have refused to use them in pretty much every game.

I love Natu as well. It and Wooper are my top two favorites, not counting Cyndaquil.
A while ago a thing called "shooter" or something was mentioned as being in the battle menu. What was this if anything?
-

The Miracle Shooter is a integral part of 5th gen competitive battling as it now allows you to use items in battle
But the items have a point cost and you may earn points through the battle.
-
Oh man, I totally forgot about the Shooter mechanics. Then again you don't see them playing single player.
Speaking of things not mentioned, Rotation Battles are awesome and I am actually hoping a competitive scene pops up around them.
For those of you who don't know how Rotation Battles work: They're basically one-on-one battles like normal. However, you have three Pokemon on the field at a time. Every turn, you have your choice of which pokemon will be the 'active' one and which of its moves it will perform (or if it will be the recipient of an item or pokemon change). This means that, essentially, you have the choice of 12 moves on any given action, and three different elements of attacker... and so does your opponent. Since moves don't target Pokemon that aren't active, it really is just single battles - just with a larger set of options and a more visible hand, and a lot more prediction - and mindgames.
Specifically because of the mindgame opportunities of attacking with any of three different pokemon on a turn, I begin to wonder if perhaps there will actually be a competitive scene for them...
...As an aside I'm not sure if these are the actual triple battles or not. Because it is definitely three pokemon vs three pokemon but not at all the way they were originally described as working...

So it turns out the "3v3" battles are exactly what I wanted, then!? This sounds fun, and it would make a good new mechanic to base the game around.
How often do you play these rotation battles in BW?
-
You still get a kind of three on three battle too instead of just rotation. Three Pokemon get sent out and it works just like you'd expect but with a few restrictions. Pokemon on the left can only attack the Pokemon on the opponent's left and middle, the Pokemon in the middle can attack anyone, and the Pokemon on the right can only attack the Pokemon on the opponent's right and middle. /just reading spoilers. Haven't played :V
-

Trust me there will be scenes for all of them via Simulator. Although i'm likely going to stick to Standard 6v6 myself.

Sadly this. I've got five badges so far, and my first and only rotation battle to date was an optional tutorial by an NPC in the fifth gym's city.

Anyone know a code for Pokemon Yellow that sets experience gain to 0?
Since there's quick level up codes, there has to be a way to set experience to 0.
And yes, it must be Yellow as Red/Blue are much easier than Yellow.

Finally beat the Pokemon White main storyline! Whoopee.
Feels good, as the last battles were super challenging for my Ghost/Dark-weak team

So I actually I have Wi-Fi access and now an old freind wants to battle me via that once I get my fancy new team made.
inb4 I make a team of the same few Pokemon I always do seeing as i'm already starting on breeding a Brave Bird Skarmory.

As fun as Battle Factory is, it has severe elements of complete and utter BS. Sometimes you get lucky, other times you get ⑨ed by a Garchomp or some other powerful Pokemon. So far, I'm getting lucky...So far.
Raise your hand if you finished the Battle Frontier legitimately, and share your strategies. In the meantime, I'm gonna go sleep. Didn't go to sleep, managed to make it up to Thorton before his team flattened me. T_T Why, Game Freak? WHYYYYYYY?

Isshu region: Unova Region (Either letters from ?United States ?OV? America,? since Isshu is based off our country, or from the Latin words ?Unum? + ?Nova,? which mean ?One New.?)

I'm playing Pokemon Crystal.
I want to train a hitmonlee, but every time I level my tyrogue above level 20 it evolves into hitmonlee without learning hitmonlee's moves.
I read on bulbapedia that he should learn double kick, meditate, rolling kick and jump kick before level 20. Yet he only evolves at level 20.
So is there any way I can learn these moves to a hitmonlee? I've got plenty of bred tyrogue's through using a ditto.
Can't I get a level 1-5 hitmonlee somehow? Since there ain't a move relarner in crystal either.
