This is a thread to discuss pokemon and to instigate the possibilities of trades and battles.

Games I have:
Leaf Green (unavailable atm)
Colosseum (unavailable atm)
Black (available)

[Haar]

Available
Fire Red, Leaf Green, Platinum, Soul Silver, Colosseum, XD: Gale of Darkness, Stadium, Red Rescue Team, Explorers of Time, Ruby, Sapphire, Ranger, and Gold

Unavailable
Emerald(friend borrowing it), Pearl(lost it)

Of course, I only have DSL at the moment, so there was no point in me writing any of this. I'm getting wireless internet pretty soon, though.

[N.P.C.C.]

I have diamond but don't play it online much anymore.

[hosokawa37]

available: yellow, silver, ruby, sapphire, fire red, diamond, heart gold, white, battle revolution

unavailable: gold [lost it yrs ago =[ ]

[AKALink]

I only have a 3ds at the moment. I can't do any poke transfers or anything. Eventually I hope to transfer some of my epic pokemon from the third generation. I have my other two pokemon games and my ds at home. My sister has pearl so eventually I hope to get all the G/S starters, charmander, all the legendary dogs, and some other pokemon onto my black version. To bad I can't trade or battle anyone with a 4th generation game.

[Haar]

Sadly, my friend deleted my save file in Emerald. I had all of my good Pokemon in there. Level 100 Sceptile, Blaziken, and Charizard: Gone
Another friend borrowed Pearl and deleted my save: Level 100 Staraptor and Empoleon: Gone.

Needless to say, I no longer lend out games like this.

[AKALink]

Yeah, lvl 100 is hard work. I've never had the patience to do that. I'd aways get near lvl 80 and give up.

[LawRayLiet]

I've only ever played Red/Yellow/Blue.
But I consider them to be some of the greatest games GB games ever.
Maxed all my pokemon out.

I never tried any of the releases after that.
I began despising the pokemon beyond 151.
Maybe just to much turdwig. http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/c9/387.png

I sympathize with you. I never really wanted to play another game after leaf green. I thought the game was so good, it could never be topped. After hearing so many good things about Black and White I finally caved. I don't regret the decision, they are some of the finest games I have ever played in the life. And just like how I fell in love and began to despise some of the first (and 2nd and 3rd) generation pokemon in leaf green, the same has happened in black.

[LawRayLiet]

I'm sure I'd like them, it's just stubbornness at this point.

[Guthix]

i got ruby on a sp but no connection to the internet,funny enouth ive deleted my own saves i once have over 10 of 100s and all pokemon [exept traded] to 50+
deleted cuz didnt know effort points ****,on the bright side i can beat elite four just by sound

[Distict5-9]

Pokemon-related, the only game I ever owned was Emerald, and I've been playing it ever since I was 10, as it was the only game for my Nintendo SP I ever owned. I'm currently with only about 4 maxed out non-legendary pokemon, but around 35 others over lvl. 75...
I just never bought any other pokemon games after that mainly because;
a) too poor/lazy to buy a DS (I've always loved the SP design, personally, and didn't care much about the new games at the time)
b) Never liked the new pokemon; they always got more geometrical, boring and half-assed to me...

[jinzo64]

i liked playing leaf green then platinum i had emerald for a while coz there were a couple of pokemon in that one that i wanted to catch
like rayquaza.

[Haar]

I just discovered Pokemon Trozei and all I can say is, "What? Is this PokeTetris? Haven't we already done this before? (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokémon_Puzzle_League)"

[Chewi105]

did everyone get thier event Arceus on the global link? :D

[Guthix]

no, i gave up on pokemon, the gotta catch em all phrase doesnt apply anymore

[jinzo64]

technically you don't catch them all you get given about 16 of them then you get most through evolving.
but the catch phrase got catch and evolve em all isn't as catchy.

[Guthix]

either way good look whoever wants over 600 badly drawn pixel monsters

[jinzo64]

there not all badly drawn o.k there all pretty poor except the legendaries.

[Guthix]

i mean cmon they could have made 3d models of them by now

[jinzo64]

yes that is very true but that weould require nintendo to put effort in to a dated franchise which is aimed at children.
it's just a cash cow.

[Guthix]

so much for trying to spread fandom

[jinzo64]

you can spread all the fandom you like.
but the truth is the truth.
black and white isn't anything special it didn't do anything to enhance the franchise.
hopfully the next one in the series will do somthing to push it forward and give the main series a new lease of life.

[Guthix]

wow you still have the thing called hope

[John Nuke]

Are people still posting the games they have? I have Pokemon white... I think It works online, might check later

[jinzo64]

i'd be surprised if it doesn't have online mode.
i hear theres going to be a new pokemon game on the wii probably a pokemon adventure park 2

[John Nuke]

Just Checked, It works with my WPA connection, so I'm online with pokemon white!

[jinzo64]

whats in your team?

[John Nuke]

I change it a lot but I like having legendaries on my team, Now I have a mewtwo and lots of eggs (tryng to fill up the pokedex)!

[Guthix]

i try to stand away from legendarys you cant fully control theyr power stat/move wize

[John Nuke]

I Know, but I'm not very competitive so I just like running around trying to catch as many pokemon as possible. For that I use a Ghastly for mean look, A Sceptile with False swipe and a weepinbell with SleepPowder. It works Quite well, especially on rare pokemon!

[jinzo64]

i'm still hoping for a full 3d version of the pokemon franchise.
where you starts in kanto and ends unova region.
featuring all the pokemon.

I was looking on Bulbapedia. It turns out that all the regions except Unova or relatively close to each other. Kanto through Sinnoh are based off regions Japan were Unova is based off of New York. I hope in the next gen they base it off the bay area, there are literally Jungles in San Francisco. One thing I noticed in playing black is the lack of magicarp. There is one that someone sells really sly. Maybe its a comment on the infestation of Asian carp in the Mississippi River?

[EvenGodsBleed]

I still have blue, red, yellow, stadium 1&2, snap, silver, emerald, platinum, soulsilver, and white. Sadly blue and red's internal battery have ran out so they don't work. Maybe yellow will be next to kick the bucket.

A new Pokemon Snap with all 649 pokemon would be perfect for the Wii U.

The batteries are just watch batteries. I'm sure if you went to a radio shack they would replace the batteries for you.

[John Nuke]

Why did they replace zubat? It's supposed to get everywhere.. In the cave, the house, even the toilet.

[Guthix]

white and black didnt introduce new pokemon it was red/green makeover

[blades34AK]

I only have Red,Blue,Yellow, and Green( Picked it up at a shopping mall in Bangkok on family visit 9 years ago). Gold got jacked by a pokemon hater, Silver was accidentally doused with rubbing alcohol to my dismay. Well I'm pretty lost at what generation of pokemon were there, recent one to me was Unova B/W Ver. I think I mised by 2 generations.

[abyssion1337]

All of my pokemon are named 14th century Scandinavian poets.

[Guthix]

thats awsome.

hey guts what does tmi stand for?

[Guthix]

too much info

[jinzo64]

thankyou.
i keep thinking about buying new copies of leaf green and platinum.

[Scorchedenigma]

i have had all of them at different points in time except for white. right now all i have is heart gold, diamond, saphire, and black. i have two boxes of shiny pokemon that i ev'd in diamond, and every legendary pokemon ive caught in gold are shiny except for entei.... i play way too much pokemon

Action Replay, Gameshark, or luck?

[Scorchedenigma]

none of those actually xD its extremely hard to explain the process but its RNG manipulation. in a nutshell i looked for the exact pokemon i wanted in the game, then made it appear... i realize im not explaining it well so ill try to make it a little simpler. i found out when a shiny pokemon would appear, then i moved the game to that point. no hacking is involved at all so every pokemon i have is 100% legit

[Haar]

I still consider that a bit of luck, considering there's about a 1 in 8000 chance of you finding shinies, but I see your point.

[AKALink]

I found it a shinny pokemon, but then I got a critical hit. :(

[Haar]

Which is why you use False Swipe and/or Quick Balls.

[Guthix]

ive read that the more shinys you got the higher the chanse to get more i never passed past 4 my self, oh and the chases was somewhat 2n half thousand

[Scorchedenigma]

trust me, the chance never changes with wild pokemon. you can increase your chances quite a bit with breeding though.


I still consider that a bit of luck, considering there's about a 1 in 8000 chance of you finding shinies, but I see your point.

the thing is it takes all the luck out of it. if you do what i do you know exactly what you're going to get.

[jinzo64]

i'm not bothered about shinies the only one i've seen that looked cool is the shiny charizard.
charizard is awsome in black.

[abyssion1337]

I caught a few shinies and manufactured a few shinies.

[jinzo64]

oh i didn't know you manufactur shines.

what is the trick to finding shiny legendaries?

[Scorchedenigma]

well.... you would have to kinda know the process. if you really wanted to learn you should start with breeding shinys. its not anywhere near as complicated, and when you figure it out you'll have some idea of what you're actually doing when you get into seeds and delays. add me on steam and ill tell you about it =P

[jinzo64]

i'm not on steam and to be honest i thought you were using the word manufactering as a clever way of saying breeding.

[Scorchedenigma]

ohh well for that ya just start your game, catch a pokemon, do a few coin flips and then ditto rape happens, then shiny egg :D

[Kaiju]

I have a shiny Spiritomb. :D I got it a Global Trade Link, by trading it for my Ho-Oh. I later got another Ho-Oh for a charmander... BEST TRADE EVER. I also have found a shiny Nidorino, Chingling and others on my quest to catch em' all, lul. (I got a Shiny Swellow and Ponyta over the Global Trade Link as well, lol)

[jinzo64]

i'm thinking of ripping the pokemon movie rise of darkrai so i can have it on my ipod.

[Kaiju]

All of the Pokemon movies suck after the second one. :/

well thats your opinion but i liked destiny deoxys and rise of dark rai.

Finally found a reason to dust off my Nintendo DS.

[Distict5-9]

^ Huh... So now Pokemon seems to have gone with the "Final Fantasy Effect" too; starting from a simple turn-based-battles RPG that mainly relied on each attack's "Effectiveness" and the fighter's levels before slowly branching into new genres, such as grid-based combat, due to massive popularity.
I wonder how it's gonna tun out...

i'm looking forward to this game.
but looks like your definatly going to need to a powerful dark type pokemon.
i mean ones those guys has a mewtwo.
then again what do you do against the person with a freaking darkrai- ghost,dark type.i guess losing is a valid option
i want a giratina just to fight mewtwo.

This might turn out well. I'm hoping it will, at least. If anything, I'm just glad that Nintendo is trying something a little different this time. Of course, I'm kind of assuming that this might just be a slower and more complicated version of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, but that could be a good thing or a bad thing.

These types of games often have balancing issues of some sort. Of course, I'm pretty sure a lot of Pokemon games already have balancing issues. Also, I'm pretty sure you could bring down Darkrai with a few combined attacks. Just have your fire types swarm it and you're probably good to go.

[jinzo64]

thats probably true but still it's like mewtwo and darkrai are a couple of push overs in the acctual game series.
but i still have high hopes for this game.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srvxUv0NjlU

[QUADChromatic]

If you teach mewtwo Ghost Ball he is near impossible to stop.

[jinzo64]

wait are darks also weak against ghost types aswell as fighting type pokemon.
i assume that ghost ball is a ghost type move.

[Haar]

Pretty sure he meant Shadow Ball (bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shadow_Ball_(move)).

[jinzo64]

that makes sense but to be honest i thought it must be a new move from black and white.

[Haar]

As stated by the link, it was introduced in Generation 2

[jinzo64]

you misunderstood me.
i'm very aware of the excisstance of shadowball.
i was agreeing that he probably meant shadow ball when he said ghost ball, but i hadn't thought of that and assumed that ghost ball must be a new move from black and white.

[Haar]

According to Google, there's no such attack

[jinzo64]

oh thats a pity sounds like an intersting move for ghost pokemon.

but then are ghosts acctually weak against anything?
i can never remember

[Haar]

Psychics.
Also, Shadow Ball is a ghost-type move, so it might as well be called Ghost Ball, I guess.

[jinzo64]

no ghosts are good against not the other way round.
gastly,haunter and gengar suffer against physics because there part poison.

[Haar]

My mistake. Here's the match-up chart. (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Type_chart#Generations_II-V)

[jinzo64]

so 2x is super effective 1x is normal damage and 1/2x is half damage and 0x is no damage even the ones that come in the official pokemon stratergy guides aren't that detailed
good find harr.

[Haar]

And that is the power of Google/Bulbapedia.

[jinzo64]

google you've mentioned that before it must a wonderful place full of knowlege and incredable information

[Haar]

Provided you know how to use it, yes.

[jinzo64]

Sadly i know of it but i'm not very wise as how to use it effectivaly to get the results i need or want.

[Haar]

Just type what you want to find. If you get unrelated results, use really specific words.

[jinzo64]

I guess that works.
To be honest i'm trying pictures of anime characters with certain emotions so it can be hard to find sometimes.

Besides aren't we going of topic?

Sorry.

[Diddlemuffins]

I'm gonna go ahead and be the unpopular guy and propose the following: If you have rightfully purchased the game then what reason is there not to buy a flash cart and give yourself the Pokemon you cannot acquire or otherwise cheat?

There is no point in wasting countless hours power-leveling a Pokemon to become as strong as your others. Want to find a shiny really badly? Boom, you got it. Want the Pokerus? Boom, got it. Don't feel like constantly checking for limited-time wi-fi offers? Don't. Pokemon has become a drug like an MMORPG nowadays (plus you won't even get as much as the kiddies in Japan). There's a certain point where you're spending too much time on it.

I don't really have a problem with cheating, I just don't ever do it my self out of apathy, for the most part.

Some people use cheating devices to acquire certain Pokemon, though other players look down on them for doing so.
