Pokemon.

Empoleon isn't even that great for support or walling; the only reason he's used is that he's one of the few things that can safely switch in on the famous ChoiceSpecs Salamence.

I have multiple teams. One of which has a lvl 1 ratatta in it, just for kicks.

Unfortunately, everyone by now probably has heard about that trick.

???

What trick?

You mean the Substitute trick, right? Or is it something else?

I'm pretty sure he means Focus Sash + Reversal or Endeavor. Something to that end. Of course, that entire strategy is entirely nulled by Stealth Rock and Sandstorm since Focus Sash only activates when you're at full health. In short, Choice Heracross says hi-- Close Combat to the face.

Hm. Well, it's funny. I don't bother with EVs just yet, as I lack the abundance of berries to edit my pokes with, but so far I'd say I'm doing alright.

...And there we go. Most of them seem to have fair IVs after much breeding(although for nature/egg move purposes, rather than IV focus. ), having at least 20-25(although if there's a more solid means to check than serebii, that'd help) in the stats they need, so I figure I'm doing alright. Also, yes, I'm aware that I'm a leftovers whore. I guess I've always been a fan of regen tanks in games...


Also, Kazu...Once you can WiFi trade, I have lots I could hook ye up with. You dig? : D

I dig.

By the way, I just got to the part where they tell me about "groups."

It still makes no sense but meh.

Is there like a united RERN group?

;>>

I'm not even sure what you mean by 'groups'

In the second... no, third town in the game, some random person on the street asks you if you want to make your own group. I think it has to do with the music thing. She proceeded to talk completely unintelligibly.

Ah. No clue. Probably nothing important.

my advice for starters: Pick whichever you like the best so you can enjoy beating it with pokemon you like. Competitive battling is incredibly dumb imo

My teams usually consist of pokemon of different types. then also try to teach them either powerful moves or make their moves with a strategy.

My teams are usually pure brute force with maybe one or two supporters. With teams like this I always have to remember to balance elements as well as special/physical attack and defense.

Then again, I havent' played much Pokemon recently.

In case Zal still wantz gligar, I can breed them now.

Trouble. My network is apparently incompatible.

Are there any workarounds?

EDIT: I'm a stupid noob who didn't know that the wifi setup menu was actually on the POKEMON main menu.

:mellow:

wow dude. wow.

w00t, got the national Dex. DAMN, catching Spiritomb was hard, but now I have all 150 Sinnoh Pokemon Dex entries.

Also, who here thinks that Gold, Silver, and Crystal are really left out? I mean, Red and Blue got remade into 3rd gen Fire Red and Leaf Green, but what about GSC? Plus they were probably my second favorite Pokemon games, after Diamond, of course.

Again, I just got Gale of Darkness today. I've already owned Lovelina with my Jolteon and Spheal, but yeah, its good.

Assuming that my Wi-fi connecter is actually working now..... here be my code:

4124 1905 4426

Name is WES. Version is Diamond, starter was Puplip but.... well, Majin aint been in his baby form for a while.

In my opinion, the only ways that D/P are superior to G/S/C is the increased convenience of using items. (more organized item bag, some other stuff i dont remember right now) That and the GSC map aggravates me (the addition of the 1st gen map makes up for it tho)

ALL RIGHT, KIDZ.

I'm gonna update the first post and add all of you. You mugs better add me.

EDIT: There. Added. Everyone in the first post, plus Majin, is now on my list. Add me.

Also, Maroin... Skye is Roguen's real name. That threw me off. A lot.

Hmm? What? YOU LIE! XD
