I'd been posting on and off about my playthrough of Pokemon Platinum on the Longest Thread Ever, some of it was live blogging other times it was updates.
After seeing the seperate live blog thread I decided to continue it over here in the Video Games board. Sometimes it will be a live blog of sorts, sometimes just an update.

At this point I have 5 gym badges, and can now surf the water routes. I went around to places to find different items that I couldn't get previously due to water blocking the way.
Now I'm going to do a few optional areas: Route 219, Fuego Ironworks and Floroma Meadow.

Finding a shiny is the hardest thing to do.
That it is....
I've ran into a few in 2nd and 3rd gen... But not in the 4th.
In Gold/Silver(Don't remember which one):
I ran into a shiny Rattata, which I accidently KO'ed.
I did catch a shiny Drowzee though during these games.
In Ruby:
I hatched a shiny adamant nature Sentret... Wasn't expecting it, that's for sure(It had a 31 defense IV and a 0 attack IV... how bizarre).
I have played around alittle with the Pokeradar in Pearl and Platinum, but I usually mess up before having a higher odds of getting a shiny.
For now I'm just going to utilize my Pachirisu team(they have Pickup), to get rare candies and such. VS seeker spamming started to drive me crazy after awhile.

As for Pokemon Platinum, I've finished leveling up Team Pk Thunder(5 Pachirisu with the Pickup ability) to 91, they can now find the best items found through their ability.
Aside from doing the Pal Park in Platinum for a couple more days, I'm taking a fairly long break from playing from it. Mainly so I can get back to my playthrough of Dragon Quest 5 and starting a new file on Pokemon Leafgreen.
Also will try to write and submit some song parodies for Amiright.(I'm on vacation this week)

My teams(minus the Pachirisus) don't have a particular theme, but are usually named after favorite anime, cartoon and game characters.
Platinum E4 champions:
Lunara the Absol(She took on Cynthia's Spiritomb)
Poppy Leaf the Leafeon(She took on Cynthia's Milotic)
Homestar the Togekiss(He took on Cynthia's Lucario)
La Mulana the Infernape(She took on Cynthia's Roserade)
Thea the Milotic(She took on Cynthia's Garchomp)
Sasami the Gardevoir(She took on Cynthia's Togekiss)
My Togekiss, Gardevoir and Milotic have more obvious nicknames. Togekiss named after Homestar Runner, Gardevoir named after Sasami from Tenchi Muyo and Milotic is named after Thea from Phantasy Star 3(a Genesis RPG).
My Infernape was named after a computer game(I think, it have been an MSX game), which is a sort of side scrolling adventure. Although my memory of it was from watching a part of a walkthrough where you get a hidden treasure, which is more of a cruel parody. I would explain it, but I don't know if you want to know.
My Absol, wasn't named after anyone from a series or game, but was named after a concept character I created before.
My Leafeon, well, I had a problem thinking of a good name for it. Finally decided on Poppy Leaf, thought it was cute and funny(drug reference).
My Pearl E4 champions:
Step-chan the Infernape(I picked Chimchar in both games)
Kyra the Chimecho
Jun the Floatzel
Nene the Roserade
Ibuki the Sudowoodo
Elgala the Luxray
Infernape's nickname is really obvious.
My Chimecho was named after Kyra from Phantasy Star 4(an excellent Genesis RPG).
My Floatzel, I don't remember exactly who, but I named her after someone from an anime series.
My Roserade was named after Nene from Bubblegum Crisis(the original series not newer one).
My Sudowoodo was named I think after Ibuki from Maison Ikkoku.
My Luxray, Elgala from Excel Saga.

You make concept characters? Awesome! I've actually done some manga on Microsoft Paint, but I've yet to reach my potential.
Back to Pokemon, those are some really cool teams. I find it funny that I named an Exploud after Soundgarden lead vocalist Chris Cornell. Hey, it fits well!

Damn, it's been a while since I've played Pokemon. I'd never nickname them, a habit that I started in Red + Blue versions, because you'd have to check out their stats to see what pokemon they actually were. .
I would make sure my party had all around the same level, which was harder to do around the beginning of the game, where I would just train my starter Pokemon. My philosophy was: If I have a level 20, and my opponent has 6 level 10s, I'll beat him. However, as the game progressed, I would start training all of my Pokemon.
I made sure the Pokemon I had with me weren't all the same time. I balanced it.
My party needed to have all of the HMs in it, so that I would never get stuck.
I would always train the rarer Pokemon, such as ones that you can only get once in a game,
The last Pokemon game that I played was Sapphire, and that was a while ago. Since then, I haven't played, but I would always keep a high-leveled Shedinja with me. He only has 1hp, but only Super-Effective moves can actually hurt him. He's extremely helpful in certain Elite 4 battles.
Well, that's my two-cents, lol.

I've made concept characters for RPG ideas I have. Whenever I've done an drawing or sketching, it's just been on paper. I couldn't do it easily on a computer.
The Pearl team I had chosen had a few close calls in the E4. Mainly Luxray vs Brongzong(Earthquake, Luxray was left with alittle over 30 HP) and Floatzel vs. Garchomp(Which is funny, because Floatzels have a higher speed base stat than Garchomp, but it still out sped it. Floatzel barely survived Earthquake and Garchomp survived the Ice Beam, but it also froze it and Cynthia didn't use a Full Restore).

I didn't start nicknaming my Pokemon until 3rd and 4th Gen. Now you can tell what's what in the games. For me, depending on what I plan on training would depend on how much gets trained early on. Early on during my current playthrough of Leafgreen, I was mainly using my starter(Charmander), Pikachu and Weedle line(to deal with Misty's Starmie, it's weak to Twinneedle due to it's Psychic typing, I do the same thing if I pick Squirtle, I'm not a fan of the Bellsprout line).
Now my main team is Charizard, Raichu, Sandslash, Clefable, Persian and Vaporeon.
And yeah they still have E4 in the latest gen.

1st Gen PKMN FTW!!!!11!
In the 3rd gen remakes and 4th gen games, they make decent ingame Psychic counters.
Shadow Ball 3rd gen, Physical Ghost and Dark attacks 4th gen... Especially Faint Attack, if you have a Meowth/Persian with a Technician ability(Which boosts the moves with a 60 base attack rating or lower by 50%).
I usually use Flareon(But I picked Charmander this time, so no need for it) as a sort of Psychic counter 3rd gen, since it could also learn Shadow Ball(Ghost was physical before Physical/Special split), it's slower than most Psychics, but it has better Sp. Def than Persian in case it takes a hit first. Persian, though has alot speed behind it, so it can compensate for weaker durability as well.
One thing I will say, I've always prefered Squirtle(I didn't want to raise a Gyarados) and missed having a water type until I got an Eevee in Celadon and evolved into a Vaporeon.

Found it after doing the Sevii Islands and gemstone quest.
I'm going to breed an E4 rematch team. So far the planned members are:
Xatu- Never had a Xatu before, want to know if I'll like it enough for a team slot on HG/SS playthroughs next year.
Misdreavus- My favorite ghost type, have trained one on and off, but never trained one for the E4.
Furret- I've trained these before, one of my favorites. Plan on getting an Adamant one.
Flareon- Missed having one on my team through my normal playthrough.
That's all I have at the moment, any suggestions for the remaining two?
I only have Leafgreen, so it will have to be from what I can get on that version.
Edit: The only other rule I have is that it can't be any of the types that I already have on team.(Flying, Psychic, Ghost, Normal and Fire are already taken)

Lapras is fine, I'll try that, I'll check the nature of the one I got to see if I want to breed it or not.(Lapras eggs take along time to hatch, would like to avoid that if possible)
While I don't hate the Machop line, I'm not the biggest fan of it either. And while I am using some underpowered pokemon, I'm aiming for fully evolved ones 3rd gen.

I don't have both game paks now.(I used to own both)
I've seen others play Runescape, but never played it myself. Not much into PC gaming.
So it's now:
Xatu
Flareon
Furret
Misdreavus
Lapras
So all that is needed is a Pokemon for the 6th slot.

Ouch.... Reminds me of something someone posted on Gamefaqs awhile back:(With some modifications by me)
Murphy's Law of shiny Pokemon-
1. A shiny will pop up when you have no Pokeballs.
2. A shiny will pop up that knows Selfdestruct, Explosion, Roar, Whirlwind, etc.
3. A shiny will pop up in the Safari zone, and due to the setup of the place....(They run away)

I have to buy 1 Brick Break and at least 2 Shadow Ball TMs.
A 3rd Shadow Ball will be bought if Flareon has a Hidden Power type that is either redundant(Fire) or non-complimentary(like Psychic, Dragon, etc.).
I'm started on Misdreavus, I have 100 on Attack and Special Attack, 72 on Speed and 6 on Hit Points. Need 252 Attack and 180 Special Attack.

Xatu has Hidden Power Ground, so I taught it Steel Wing.
I'll have to build up some money for the Shadow Ball TMs, mainly due to the fact that they're casino prizes in the game.

The AI did some stupid things against my Misdreavus(Earthquake won't hit levitators 3rd gen, there was no Mold Breaker ability).
The main problem I had with Lance was his Dragonite Thunderbolting my Lapras(who wasn't at full health) causing me to switch out so I could revive her. Other than that I had a minor faux pas with Bruno.(I thought he would use a Fighting type first, nope.... It was Steelix)
I've messed around my nephew's Silver game which doesn't save anymore.
I know they changed the Effort Value system when they got to the 3rd generation.
Which is 510 points total, 255 max in one stat.
Originally, it was 65,535 points per stat. They called it stat experience at that time.
The biggest difference was the equation.
With the present EV system, 4 points gives you one point in a stat.
The original stat experience system allowed you to get 64 points in each stat total, the 65,535 points were part of an equation that resulted in that. You were able to max every stat in the game. This was good ingame, but very unbalanced in the competitive category.

The only down side with emulation is the lack of trading, I think.
So you'd have to cheat to get a the trade evolutions.
Fortunately, my prefered ones don't fall into that category.

Save state has changed my NES gaming forever. Without it, I'd probably chicken out of the hard challenges of Battletoads, Jetman, and Mario 3. Yeah, I suck at NES gaming.

The only thing I'm torn on is the starter, either Torchic or Mudkip. Whichever I pick will affect my team setup alittle. I will have an Espeon and Bellossom on the team though.(What I love about Ruby and Sapphire, You don't have to beat the game to trade from Firered and Leafgreen)

Team idea so far:
Starter(Which will either Mudkip or Torchic)
Espeon
Bellossom
Also leaning toward Altaria
Two other's are still yet be decided
If I don't decide on the starter before being online tommorrow, I'll use posting on this thread to decide.

Torchic, because other Hoenn fire Pokemon aren't that good.
Let's see... Numel family, Torkoal(I don't really care for either, although it's not about abilities and power so much). I think Vulpix is in the Safari zone, but that would take awhile to get to.
I can trade over other fire types. Although I'm already going to be doing Eevee trades(and some others to send items over), so I won't really feel like doing more than that, other than trading Bellossom over to Leafgreen to relearn Magical Leaf.(And a trade to get the Sun Stone that was on the current file that I will be saving over)
Also turns out that the berry glitch was fixed by the previous owner of the game.(I checked)
If Fire starter:
Torchic line
Milotic(Azumarill early on to fill the spot for)
Espeon
Bellossom
Altaria(?)
Last part of the main team is unknown.
If Water starter:
Mudkip line
Espeon
Bellossom
Altaria(?)
Last two members unknown.
The Water starter line up would be abit harder to fill. Still have to see what I feel like choosing tommorrow.
There will be a few others that will be trained early on to help out when need be as well.

I've beaten both Roxanne and Brawly last night.
As for the sixth member of my final team, I'm still not completey decided.
Here are some that I've been thinking about:
Mawile- My favorite Steel type, Mawile's alittle hard to use.
Delcatty- My favorite Hoenn Normal type, like Mawile it's more challenging to use in battle.
Aron- I've never train one before.
Plusle- The only new Hoenn Electric type I actually like alot.
Minun- Alittle more defensive than Plusle stat wise, I like it alittle.
Delcatty I don't have to breed for, as I have a decent nature on the Skitty I caught. The others I will(except maybe Plusle or Minun since I'm not where I can catch one yet).
Let me know if you want a particular one out of these. :)

I also need to see if any of my special based Pokemon have Hidden Power Electric, the team lacks Electric moves.(Not that they are majorly needed, only Water/Flying types are applied to this problem)

You used Azumarill? Cool, that's one I'd never thought of training.
A lot of folks say that Starmie is underrated, but I tried training one and got very little boost from level-ups. Was I just not doing enough EV training, or is Starmie a crappy Pokemon?
Subject: Re: Step-chan's Pokemon Platinum playthrough(Spoilers) and other Pokemon things.
Written By: Step-chan on 01/19/10 at 2:11 pm
Starmie is alittle above average, it's base stat for Special Attack is 100 and it's Speed base stat is 115. It makes for a decent special sweeper, mainly in game. Starmie's main weakness is it's Hit Point, which is merely 60. Both it's Defensive stats are 85. Attack is 75.
Taking into account, early fully evolved Pokemon like Raticate and Furret have lower base stat totals.
The Azumarill I've trained is to fill my slot for a water type until I get a Feebas during the mid-point in the game(that's going to be fun to search for, only 6 tiles in the first raining route have them, and it's dependent on the trendy phrase).
It took me awhile to find a female with Huge Power(The reason for getting a female is because Flannery's last Pokemon, Torkoal, has Attract. This is just like Whitney's Miltank). The Marrill also has an nature that drops it's Attack by 10%.
As for your Starmie, you could have had one with lower IVs or a nature drops it's Special Attack by 10%. Do you remember it's nature?

Written By: Step-chan on 01/19/10 at 4:21 pm
I changed the trendy phrase in my game.
Effort Values did change quite abit when the 3rd gen. debuted.
In the 1st and 2nd gen, all your stats got boosted from battling Pokemon(I think I mentioned before), so you were able to get over 60+ points in every stat by level 100.(As long as you were diligent about it, instead of overusing Rare Candies, but those weren't that easy to get anyway) This made even underpowered Pokemon like Wigglytuff, Dunsparce and Farfetch'd fairly usable ingame.
By 3rd Gen, you could only max two of your stats in Effort Values.
Back to the game:
I'm about to level up for the 5th gym. This is easily my least favorite Gym Leader to battle. I'll get them up to level 31, that should be decent enough.

The only real reason I wonder is because of how Ruby and Sapphire set up the criminal teams.
Ruby version, Magma are the criminals while Aqua helps you out. In Sapphire the roles are reverse.
Emerald has you fighting both teams. If they keep closer to Ruby and Sapphire, I hope they ad more battles with the criminal team you fight against. Oh course, they'll probably also add the Battle Frontier into the remakes.

I reset many times though, so I still worked for it(I probably should have saved the Master Ball for him instead of Latios)... I was about to send over Farfetch'd(Level 80, False Swiper) to try and help.
This reminds me of how I caught Heatran in Platinum. I was mainly using Dusk Balls, but would occasionally chuck a different ball at it for laughs. When I threw a Luxury Ball(which is only as effective as a Basic Pokeball), it caught her.
You can catch them at full health, it's just with most Legendaries the odds are extremely low to get that lucky.(I think Rayquaza's odds with Ultra Balls at 1 HP and Sleep/Freeze are alittle under 10%)

WHOA. Kinda reminds me of how I beat Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. I warped Marth (main hero with legendary sword effective against final boss) into the room with the final boss using a Warp staff, used another Warp staff to warp a different character onto a save point, saved, then kept attacking/restarting from save until I got a critical hit. The critical hit rate was about 4%, and if I didn't get one, the boss would own Marth with a one hit kill. Call it cheap, but it worked, and I didn't have to fight the rest of the enemies!
Dumb luck can often play out well... with a lot of restarts.

In my case, all of the previous tries I did wear down it's HP(quite abit at times), although that ended up being for nothing with it's Rest move. Doesn't help that it has Outrage either(Which will confuse it after 2 to 3 rounds, causing a chance that it will hurt itself).

Self-hurting attacks are always a pain.
That they are. I'm lucky I had gotten a Beldum from my Nephew, otherwise I would have had to wait for a swarm of them. And with them have the same low catch rate as most legendaries and only having a recoil damage move... Ugh, that would have been irritating.
The ones I was the luckiest with were the Regi trio. I didn't have to reset on any of them, although I was close to reseting with Registeel(Mostly due to it getting close to running out of moves and doing the dreaded Struggle).
Here are the legendaries I find to be the most annoying to catch:
Mewtwo: Mainly because of Recover.
Rayquaza: Rest and Outrage, enough said.
Giratina: Being part ghost type means "no can be hit by False Swipe without Foresight"(Can any Pokemon can have both in their set at the same time?).
Roaming Pokemon: Less of a pain in a DPPt, since you have the tracking Poketch that you can view while trying to find them in the route you keep going into. But still...

That's cool. I have one for both GBA and DS. I mainly used it to get Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, and Manaphy/Phione. I also used it to get trade-evolution Pokemon, since I don't have 2 DSes.

Kanto: Bulbasaur
Johto: Totodile
Hoenn: Torchic
Sinnoh: Chimchar
Normally I pick the Fire types, but I like Bulbasaur and Totodile.
Subject: Re: Step-chan's Pokemon Platinum playthrough(Spoilers) and other Pokemon things.
Written By: Step-chan on 02/24/10 at 5:18 pm
Kinda like how half of my picks are Water types:
Kanto: Squirtle(This is the only region, mainly counting the remakes, that I've went through with each of the starters)
Johto: Chikorita(Totodile second most likely to be picked)
Hoenn: Mudkip(Torchic second most likely to be picked)
Sinnoh: Chimchar(Chimchar barely edged out ahead of the others)
I went through Ruby with the Torchic line this time, I can see how some do like it.
I feel like rambling alittle more, this is mainly well known stuff...
In Kanto, Bulbasaur and Squirtle are easier early game. Bulbasaur due to the first of three gyms and some trainers, Squirtle due to some of the trainers like Bulba, plus some early trainers with fire types. Charmander is the hardest, although third gen it at least has some attacks that are strong against rock types.(I had to use Pikachu's Growl move until it got KO'd before I had Charmander fight Onix)
To me, Kanto is the main area where it's harder to go through certain early points without a Water type, this is mainly a problem with rock and fire types(If you have a grass type early on though, that cuts down some of the issues). You can get Magikarp early on and Eevee mid game, but not much else until you can get better rods. I hate the fact that the Old Rod only catches Magikarp in the originals and remakes, it's a shame the Good Rod isn't available by at least Lavendar or Celadon.(The fact that you can get the Super Rod before the Good Rod is crazy)
It's easier to get some water types early on in both Johto and Sinnoh, so with me it the water starter isn't as important.(unless I want to go through the game with it) This mainly due to the Old Rod catching more than just Magikarp(I know it's like that in Johto, I don't remember it's the same in Sinnoh, I'll to check)
Hoenn is somewhere between Kanto and Johto for difficulty when not having a water type, but you can at least get a few early on.

I like have it has a total of 80 PPs added up by all of it's moves(Foresight has 40), still took me around 50+ Dusk Balls to catch it. The fact that it's at level one makes it even easier in the maintenance department.

I've seen people on boards(they're a minority though) that think Dusk Balls broken, why I don't know. While they are twice as strong as Ultra Balls at night and in caves, towers, etc., that still doesn't make that much of a difference against Pokemon with a catch rate of 3.

Okay, I'll be doing a choose part of my Pokemon team for the Heartgold version(I'm getting both games, Soulsilver will be my permanent game file).
I'll be choosing two of my team, which are:
Chikorita line & Poliwag line(Either Politoed or Poliwrath, I haven't fully decided yet)
Gohanzo1 will be picking two for my team and you can to.
The only rules are:
1. Make sure they are obtainable in game. While I don't mind doing occasional trades, I kinda want to keep from doing them more than once or twice.(Well, if I pick Politoed, I will have to trade. But other than that, I kinda want to keep from doing it) This is also going by version exclusives for Heartgold.
2. It must be the fully evolved form of that family, while I'll catch the earlier form to train and evolve. It doesn't matter if it's a somewhat underpowered Pokemon, I just want to be able to evolve it to it's final form.
3. No two of the same type. If it's a dual type and it's secondary type matches another's primary type, I won't mind however.

I'm further behind than you are. I beat Jasmine today. Machoke, Feraligatr, Ponyta, and Graveler put her down for the count in no time. Heading after Chuck once my Pokemon are stronger. I'm tempted to train a Pidgeot, but that'll take a LOOOOOONG time.

I fought Chuck before going back with the Secretpotion. So we both have 5 badges, unless you took a detour to Mahogany and the Lake of Rage.(Which is easily doable)

I certainly did. Red Gyrados is awesome. Believe it or not, by bro got a gold Magikarp on Emerald, which is now a red Gyrados. My shinies are Gyrados (SoulSilver), Mawile (Ruby), and Raticate (Pearl). BTW, I love the Kanye West thing you posted many pages ago.

I remember that. Ol' Kanye started a new meme with that rude crap he did to Taylor Swift on the awards. I seen one someone do one of him interrupting Leonadis(Movie: 300), which results in him being kicked into the pit.
I've been wanting to do a meme of something Kurt Cobain said during a concert, but I haven't had a good opportunity yet. :D
I sent over my level 60 Scyther from Platinum, which has False Swipe. Sent over a few TMs as well and a male Marril with Aqua Jet.
Sent the Shiny Caterpie I got in the Bug Catching Contest over to Platinum, since I already have a Butterfree in my game.

I beat Jasmine last night, although Slugma wasn't really able to deal with them(it's special defense is kinda weak). I've been stopping Larvitar's evolution until learns Crunch.
I'll be going back to Goldenrod real quick for the lottery in the shopping center, today is Flash Cannon TM as top prize. Will be catching some water types as well.

I remember the ones involving Mudkips.
Let's see... Leaf Stone....
I know of two ways to get one without going into something like the Pokeathlon(I think you can get them there), ones really late in Kanto.
The other you can get earlier, I think it's from a trainer who you can register on the phone ingame. I'll have to look it up to make sure.
Subject: Re: Step-chan's Pokemon Platinum playthrough(Spoilers) and other Pokemon things.
Written By: Step-chan on 03/24/10 at 6:55 pm
You can win them in the Bug catching contest, although my guide doesn't say that(it lists Sun Stone), although this is Prima. They usually aren't super thorough.(Serebii's site lists it as a prize, I'll get a better look at it and get back to you)
One is available in Kanto, showing Bill's grandfather an Oddish.(But this is pretty late ingame)
The sooner one you can probably get one is from someone on route 34(Looks her up), it's Picknicker Gina a call from the Pokegear. This is probably the quickest one, but it's up to fate when that happens. I'll check to see when there is a high chance of this happening.
You can also get them from the Pokeathlon on certain days, but you have to build up the points for them.

Thanks for your major help! Here's probably going to be my Elite 4 team:
Feraligatr
Machoke/Hypno (deciding)
Victreebel
Ampharos/Magneton (deciding)
Magmar/Rapidash (deciding)
Pidgeot
I'm torn on my Fire and Electric choices, and I'm not sure whether I want a decent Fighting type or an excellent Psychic type. I think I do remember something called "The Mudkip Collection" that had Mudkip firin his lazor. When I get my dial-up replaced with AbleCable hi-speed internet this Monday, I'll check it out.
Here's my progress: I beat Chuck (not too hard, even without a Psychic or Flying type, but then again, I took detours and beat Pryce and Jasmine). Now I'm in the Radio Tower fending off Team Rocket. I'm also doing the EXP-switch method of training here for Magby and Pidgey. (In case that's not understandable lingo I made up, I send out the weak one, switch him in for a strong one, and they both gain EXP.)
Subject: Re: Step-chan's Pokemon Platinum playthrough(Spoilers) and other Pokemon things.
Written By: Step-chan on 03/24/10 at 10:23 pm
No problem. ;)
I watched like a couple of the Mudkip ones.
I've beaten Team Rocket now.(Just got done with it)
My team is in the 36-39 range level wise
Current status:
Marisa- Meganium
Il Palazzo- Crobat
Mr. Magoo- Magcargo(Finally!)
Faris- Politoed
Ranfan- Pupitar(Finally!)
Hare- Ariados
I'm kinda hoping my Meganium or Politoed has Hidden Power Electric, I haven't yet went to get it to find out.(Can't until the lake floods again)
As a Slugma, Mr. Magoo didn't do too bad in Pryce's gym, a far cry from the battle with Jasmine. Although I got alittle lucky with his Piloswine(I had Amnesia'd Slugma a couple times while up against Dewgong anyway, thank goodness for it's lack of water attacks in it's set).
I'll taking care of some odds and ends now before I continue on in the game.
While I'm still alittle while off from doing my Soulsilver playthrough, I have 4 of the main ones in mind, plus another for early on.
Meganium(I'll alittle stubborn this way)
Espeon
Ampharos
Azumarill
Furret(Early member until I fill out my team more)
I'm still deciding on two for the final slot.
I'm going to pick between two of these:
Miltank- I've never trained one before, the Scrappy ability is tempting and I can get it the element punches if I want.
Jynx- Another I've thought about, the only thing about this choice is I'll have two psychic typings(Although Jynx's primary type is Ice). I could put it in place of Espeon, but I'd have to wait alittle while before getting to Jynx.(Unless I trade one over, but that means breeding would have to come into play)
Ninetails- This one is almost garanteed, since I'll usually need a Fire type. Will probably want to breed it through.
Rapidash- Another that'd I had to trade for.(Since it pops up after the 8th badge) But it's still up in the air for a slot.
Flareon- If I put Jynx in, I could train my favorite Kanto eeveelution.
Gligar- Gliscor is one of my favorite Ground types, but I'd have to trade a Gligar over(They're HG exclusive).
Noctowl- I've toyed with this idea for awhile.
Hitmonchan- Kinda of a late one as well, but it learns all the element punches.

Nope, they added in the evolutions of Aipom, Piloswine, Lickitung, Yanma... I think that's all of them, I don't think Bonsly and Mime Jr are in it the Johto dex. Since they're evolutions are based on learning a certain move, I guess they felt it made more sense to do that. Probably due to the fact it looked stupid in Firered/Leafgreen that certain happiness evolutions would cancel out due to the lack of the national dex.
Also, just evolved Aipom, put her back into the Daycare for maintenance free leveling.

You know the thing that sucks about battles with LV. 50 as the limit? No Dragonite or Tyranitar, since the evolve at Level 55. You could use an AR code, but all AR codes are blocked in the Battle Tower. Well, at least in Pearl.

The battle tower like the battle frontier, or the like the one where you can play against someone else with another DS?
Magcargo isn't too bad, it's just raising it's prevo that's the problem(Low base stats in both defense types). Still, he's definetly the slowest member on my team. I did do alittle EV training in Sp. Attack(before fighting Pryce) with him while he was a Slugma.(Probably around 80 effort points or so) Just to give him alittle extra oomph.
The only other big downside to Magcargo is it's quad-weaknesses to water and ground. I also would have loved for it to learn Power Gem too.(Ancient Power is nice, but I would love to have a special based Rock attack with more PP)
I know I won't have Tyrranitar until Kanto, but Pupitar will be fine in the E4, especially since it learned Earthquake.
My team was definetly underpowered early on. I'll give my opinion on them in my next post.

The only thing about the Zubat line is it's hard to train until it gets to level 13 and bites, but it's still not that much easier until it learns Wing Attack at 17.
Slugma line is just really frail until it evolves.
Poliwag line, while fast in it's first two forms, doesn't have alot of power. The final forms are a different story, but lose speed.
Spinarak line is similiar to Zubat, hard to train until it learns Night Shade and Shadow Sneak. It doesn't really get any good STAB moves until Blackthorne City and at level 50.
Larvitar line's only real problem is, of course, late evolution to it's final form.
I'll be fighting the E4 here soon.

Espeon, that's one of my favorite psychic types, as well as one of my favorite eeveelutions.
I definetly recommend teaching it Shadow Ball, unless you're conserving the TM.(Don't you hate the limited amounts of some TMs?) But if you have a male Espeon, it'll be less of an issue.
For my Soulsilver playthrough, I'm also wandering if I should pick a different water type. Although I could still train an Azumarill, it's more of an issue with certain HMs that are required in certain areas. So it's just an issue about team flexibility.
Although I do have an Aqua Jet bred Marill in Platinum as well, which I'll be training.(So even if I change to a different water type in Soulsilver, I'll still be training one in Platinum)
Edit: Due to my reconsidering, the situation now looks like this:
Meganium
Espeon or Jynx
Ampharos
Azumarill or another water type.
Furret(Early member until I fill out my team more)
Miltank, Gligar, Noctowl or Hitmonchan
Ninetails, Rapidash or Flareon

LOL, that pic reminds me of the "DO NOT PRESS B!" videos on YouTube, especially the one with Human Kirlia.
Azumarill? Forgive me, but isn't Azumarill one of the worst water types ever? Well, I remember reading in the strategy guide that on a scale of one to four, none of its stats exceeded 2. You could EV train it, though. My Eevee is at level 20 now, I'll probably make it an Espeon today. Espeon has great speed and special attack, as I learned from getting beaten repeatedly by one in Pokemon Colloseum's Orre Colloseum Level 100 Single Battle.

I remember you listed Azumarill at first for my Heartgold playthrough.(But I already picked a water type at that time) So I said I would train one in Soulsilver, although required HMs in different areas are making me think about whether I should train one or choose another.
My strategy guide uses those dots to rate their stats as well, except that the ratings go up to 6. But, you can't go by those heavily, as they aren't 100% accurate. For instance, all the eeveelutions that are listed don't have the same amount of point values. Only Espeon and Jolteon have a 6(Espeon in sp. attack, Jolteon in speed), but Flareon, Vaporeon and Umbreon don't have any above 5.(Flareon should have a 6 in attack, Vaporeon a 6 in hit points and Umbreon a 6 in sp. defense)
But, yeah, Azumarill's normal base stats aren't high, mainly in speed, attack and sp. attack, although it's HP is good and both it's defensive stats are alright.
As you probably remember, the Azurill/Marill/Azumarill line has two abilities.
Those are:
Thick Fat and Huge Power.
Huge Power is Azumarill's saving grace in the offensive department, as it automatically doubles it's physical attack stat. This helped out the Azurill line alittle third gen, but made it pretty good fourth gen, as it can learn physical water attacks like Waterfall. But it's still not fast, so bred moves like Aqua Jet are helpful for getting in first attacks.
I think Azumarill's base stats are(Which determine how well it grows in different areas):
HP: 100 ATK: 50 DEF: 80 SP. ATK: 50 SP. DEF: 80 SPEED: 50
Also, all eeveelutions have these numbers as their base stats:
130, 110, 95, 65, 65, 60
Of course, they're in different stats on each one. This is also why I said that all the eeveelutions should have had a 6 in one stat.

After checking out Serebii, I added to the water type options for Soulsilver's playthrough.
Meganium
Espeon or Jynx
Ampharos
Azumarill, Starmie, Vaporeon, Mantine, Lanturn or Gastrodon*
Furret(Early member until I fill out my team more)
Miltank, Gligar, Noctowl or Hitmonchan
Ninetails, Rapidash or Flareon
That's six options water type wise... Woof! I think Starmie, Vaporeon and Lanturn are my best overall options. Gastrodon's a pretty good choice too(It's bulky and has decent offensive stats, Speed is it's only weak base stat). Mantine I threw in there in case I want too, it's not too bad and Azumarill will have to have the Huge Power ability if I train one.
*I like how you can send over later gen Pokemon, although I think they will show up with a ? as a number. It's not likely that I'll train up the Shellos/Gastrodon line, but I am giving it some consideration. I just need to check and see if it will evolve without the national dex.

Pretty good team, not to mention I love Ampharos. Its Special Attack is excellent, not to mention it has good speed. I also like Serebii.com, it's a good place when you need help on Pokemon, not to mention the name is Engrish.

I caught MissingNo. in Red/Blue. But that wasn't so much a safe catch, as it screwed with my save file(mainly the E4 data)
For that playthrough...
Two slots already decided.
6 water types to choose from.
3 fire types to choose from.
2 psychic types to choose from.
And a mix of 4 to choose from for the filler slot.

Yep, that's the one. Interestingly enough, Fire Fang will hit regardless of who's been hacked with Wonderguard.

You could call the Fire Fang hitting a glitch(Although in Shedinja's case, it's weak to fire anyway). Someone on Youtube had a Flareon out against a Wondertomb and used other moves first to show the hack, then hit it with Fire Fang.

No problem. ;)
I've beaten all of the Kanto leaders and have Rock Climb. I'll be going to all the places that have Rock Climb in Kanto, catch what legendaries are available and go back to Johto. I need to breed a Pichu to get a Thunderstone.
Also need to get any available gym leader's numbers that I can throughout the week and do the bug contests, to see if I can some extra stones.(I need a Water Stone to solve an Unown puzzle, but I'm afraid it'll be used when I do, I need an extra in case I'll train a Vaporeon or Starmie in Soulsilver)
Oh, speaking of Soulsilver, I didn't think of the possibility of training the Squirtle line, so I'll put that in place of the Marill line.

I met Steven, and now I can go hunt Latios. I'm aiming to beat Brock tonight.
Quick stupid question: in the anime, is Pikachu really in love with Buneary? There's so many cheesy AMVs of it that it makes me wonder if it was really that important in the show. Still, it's not as heartbreaking as the death of Pikachu's ketchup bottle.
I caught Snorlax and I'm making my way to Diglett's Cave.
Edit: Brock has been defeated, and Blaziken now has the moveset I wanted. On to Cinnibar Island.

You can get Lati pre-Red? (Looks it up.....) Oh..... no wonder, I didn't have the 2nd book until today, I knew I was forgetting something.
Pikachu isn't, as far as I know, but I read that the Buneary is smitten with Pikachu.

I figured I post this link, has Pokemon(and Pokemon fakes) related stuff. It got me to look for the Mad magazine parody I have. I found it, although it's showing it's age.(I would send it to them if I had a way to scan the pages)
I've gotten the numbers of:
Brock
Misty
Blaine
Whitney
Morty
Jasmine
Chuck(easiest number to get in the game)
Bugsy
I think that's all the numbers I have so far. I've battled Blaine for abit and got my Politoed up to 70. I'll battle Morty later tonight to help level Tyrranitar.
Edit: I also had a nasty surprise in the bug catching contest today, all of them are at higher levels. My Butterfree got knocked out because of that. First time I lost and for a dumb reason at that.

After I type out a Performing Arts paper for school, I'm gonna try out the Sinnoh Sound radio show, since it is on today.
Edit: I've found some Sinnoh Pokemon, but not just through Sinnoh Sound. Bidoof, Starly, Kricketot, Shinx (evolved into Luxray), Budew, Carnivine, Chatot, Bronzor (evolved into Bronzong), and Chingling. I plan to catch more. I looked in the Pokedex book at Wal-Mart and found out I can catch virtually any Sinnoh Pokemon in SoulSilver through Sinnoh Sound, Pokewalker, and Safari Zone except the fossils, legendaries, and a few others.

It turns out that you do get different element stones as 1st prize, but only after you get the national dex. I won a leaf stone.(Why couldn't they give you at least some of the others like that one pre-national? Sun Stones are nice, but they only evolve two Pokemon at the moment)

Yeah, Ambipom and Phanpy are both for Pickup. Ambipom mainly for Grass Knot and Phanpy for Fling.(The lowest levels for those two TMs to be picked up) I hoping for a Grass Knot or two, mainly to teach Meganium.
It's actually 91 at the lowest for Earthquake TMs, since it goes by 10 level intervals.(I have level 91s for that)

Goldeen, Seaking, and Quilfish are great for Attack EVs. That's what I used on Blaziken. I've restarted Emerald (it was horribly glitched) and I just lost to Roxanne. Nosepass is one tough customer.

Yep, which is why my Ariados is over 210 in attack, he might be my second highest in atk power now.(I won't know for sure until my Crobat is at 84)
Plus a bonus for Ariados and Beedril is that since they are part poison type, they can't be affected by Qwilfish's Poison Point ability.(Which is what I imagine they have on the AI trainers ones)

My nephew's actual choices at first were Ledyba line and Ekans line. I had to inform him that those were in Soulsilver not Heartgold(although I forgot about Ekans being available at the game corner at the time), so he picked the first bug in Heartgold(Spinarak line) and Zubat line.

Besides its weak first form, Magcargo is doubly weak to both Ground and Water. Luckily the Elite 4 don't specialize in those.

Yeah, that was pretty funny. Speaking of Milotic, you can get Feebas on Pokewalker, then use Daisy's massages to raise its beauty and evolve it.
I've been watching Pokemon Advanced on YouTube. Wow, Relicanth in episode 2?! I personally think the Pokemon anime got stale at Diamond and Pearl. Original and Advanced were probably my faves. My fave Pokemon from the anime were Ash's Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard, Misty's Psyduck, Brock's Geodude, Mudkip/Marshtomp, and Crobat, and May's Torchic/Combusken/Blaziken.I love it when they stay faithful to the games, like when Brock's Golbat evolves into Crobat when he saves it from a pile of rocks he was buried in. At least that's what I remember. That showed the trust and friendship between them, and Crobat is a friendship evolution.
And just for fun, here's Piplup telling Blaziken an infamous joke: WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS MICROSOFT SAM.

I think so. I wanna see some new and unthinkable type combos in Black/White. How about Fire/Water?
I beat Palmer in Pearl today using all three Regi Pokemon. I got very lucky. Dragonite fell to Regice's Ice Beam, and so did Rhyperior with a critical hit. Milotic gave me trouble, but thankfully Regice knew Thunderbolt.

Glaceon! That's a Pokemon I'd never thought of using. For me, Battle Tower is the ultimate test. I have a lot of fun just using my Action Replay. Wild Pokemon Modifier + Infinite Rare Candies + Instant Max EV codes = Lots of teams for the Battle Tower. Yes, Pearl is my uber-ARed game, while SoulSilver is my legit game.
Edit: If you have an Action Replay, here's a sweet code for the 99% legit Arceus I made using Pokesav! The only ill legit thing about it is that it says "apparently" met instead of just met. Special sweeper with Petaya Berry, caught in a Timer Ball, decent IVs, max Special Attack and Speed EVs, Bashful nature (hey, it was my first try), and cured Pokerus. Moves are Judgement, Flamethrower, Thunder, and Ice Beam. Note: This code is for Pearl, though it may work with Diamond. (Not sure about Platinum.)

Jolteon is very cool-looking. The thing about Electric-types is that they usually only learn Electric-type moves, which heavily limits sweeping for them. Jolteon can learn Shadow Ball, and Ampharos can learn Signal Beam, and Electevire can learn Flamethrower, and Magnezone can learn Flash Cannon, and.... hey, I disproved myself!

Speaking of which, I remember eating Pokemon cereal, Pokemon Pop-Tarts (got 3 exclusive figures from them too: Chansey, Charmander, and Poliwrath), and Gengar popsicles.

Here's a couple of my favs from tvtropes:
Character Select Forcing: Charmander is almost useless against Brock and Misty, leading many players to prefer Squirtle or Bulbasaur instead.
In Yellow, Pikachu is literally this, as you can't pick any other starter (you get the 3 later on though). Thankfully, while he's dead weight against Brock, you have many options to choose from to beat him, including Mankey trained to get Low Kick, or Butterfree to get Confusion which preys on his Pokémon's low Special stats.
However, in the Generation 1 remakes FireRed and LeafGreen, Charmander learns the Steel-type move Metal Claw relatively early - which is super-effective against Brock's Pokémon. Alternatively, a player could catch a Fighting-type Mankey to take out Brock and an Electric-type Pikachu to make handling Misty significantly easier.
In fact, the game makes it a point to avoid Character Select Forcing after the first generation. The first generation is ridiculously broken compared to the later ones.
Well, after the second generation. Chikorita gets wrecked by the first two gyms in G/S/C, and there is not one gym in Johto that Grass is super effective against. Unlike Charmander in FR/LG, they didn't give Chikorita anything to deal with the first gym in HG/SS, but then again, that's because there's really nothing it might be able to learn that they could give to it so early to combat flying types (it can eventually be Ancientpower far later into the game though).
Disc One Nuke*
The Pickup ability in Ruby/Sapphire. It's available on Zigzagoon, one of the Com Mons available right from the beginning, and gives you a 10% chance to get a free item after battle. This could be anything from a basic healing item (though one better than you can get in the first part of the game, making battles much easier) to a stat-boosting item or a Rare Candy. A little luck and you could easily blow through much of the game. Later releases better balanced the ability, making it less broken in the early stages of the game but more valuable later on than in Ruby/Sapphire.
*This one is a very long one, so I just posted the beginning.

Chikorita has it bad in the movepool department, but I still love training it. Mine(As a Meganium of course) actually survived two Ice Fangs from Lance's Gyarados(without a Yache Berry at that). I guess that had more to do with no attack bonus for Ice attacks(due to Gyarados' typing lacking that) and Meganium's higher Defensive stat. Charmander gets screwed pretty hard in Gen 1 against the first two gyms.(Fixed in Gen 3)
At least in HG/SS, you can pick up a Mareep(Something you couldn't do 2nd gen, that really annoyed me) before Falkner and you can use Geodude if you don't prefer the Fire starter, making easier to deal with Bugsy.

I've been playing Ruby to get money to buy coins to get good TMs. Just bought a Thunderbolt TM with coins for the Starmie I'm going to train.

The best way in my opinion to get the Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and Psychic TMs is the Game Corner in R/S/E. Just pummel the E4 a few times and buy enough coins to buy an uber TM.
I'm trying to build a team without using any starters, legendaries, or pseudo-legendaries (Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Lucario, in my opinion). I'm tempted to include Gallade, but that would be weird having two Psychic-types (counting Starmie.)

The two Rock-types is my fault. (Magcargo and Tyranitar)
I used AR codes to legitimately get Arceus (Japanese Wi-Fi event version with Roar Of Time, Spacial Rend, and Shadow Force) on SoulSilver so I could get to the Sinjoh Ruins. I chose Dialga for my Level 1 legendary you get there. I also used AR to get the Enigma Stone (Soul Dew, and lets you encounter Latias outisde Pewter Museum) and a Manaphy Egg. I plan to use my Arceus, alongside several other Level 100s, to beat Red, then go after Groudon sometime.

I've been using Soothe Bell, Proteins, and Carboses. Right now I'm not worried too much about it, though. What I'm doing now is getting a payload of Rare Candies via Pickup on Ruby. Pickup in R/S was cool because you could get Rare Candies regardless of level. I sent some over and got Starmie to Level 50 with the desired moves I mentioned. My non-legendary, non-pseudo-legendary, non-starter team will probably be Starmie, Crobat, Houndoom, Mawile, Snorlax, and Flygon. (Mawile and Crobat are shiny.)

I beat the Frontier Brain at the Battle Hall. I used Starmie. I was a little worried when she brought out Venusaur, but luckily it didn't use a Grass-type move (it used Toxic and 2 Protects), so I swept it with Psychic on the turns it didn't Protect itself. Took 2 attacks. Right now I'm working on the Dex.

I'm training a Staraptor for my Battle Frontier team. Its moves will probably be Brave Bird, Return, Close Combat, and Steel Wing. Not too diverse, but good attack power and STAB moves. Steel Wing is there to take out Rock types that threaten it. I've given it 2 Attack EV Level ups, +13 and +11.

Yeah, they are. Some people are saying the white one will be either a new Light-type or a Fighting-type. I think they'll make a Light-type.
I've beaten Dahlia at the Battle Arcade using only my Staraptor and only using Brave Bird. Sure I ended up Burned with only 8 HP left, but come on! All 3 Pokemon alive after a Frontier Brain?! That's pretty good, if I do say so myself. Someone on YouTube did the same thing, except he used Fly instead of Brave Bird.

Interesting. Obviously they took out "Goddess", but... why did that fisherman dude in the anime say he was a fishing god in the dub?
I'm currently EV training a Weavile. HUGE Speed and great attack, plus a variety of TM moves. I'm very tempted to use an AR code to get 999 of all TMs, since moveset trouble is driving me mad. And there's still plenty of non-TM Frontier prizes to be won.
Here are some Pokemon I would like to train for the Frontier:
Starmie (done)
Steelix (done)
Staraptor (done)
Weavile (working on)
Rapidash
Lickilicky
I remember using a Lickilicky in the Battle Factory. It had a great variety of Special moves, and HUGE HP. He would make a good Special Tank for my team. So this amounts to several Physical and Special Pokemon. I don't really buy into gimmicks like Rapid Spinners and all that stuff. I just sweep with the best attacks, while strategically using type matchups/diversities and hold items. I just noticed all these Pokemon are dual-types except Rapidash and Lickilicky.
I would really want a pure Flying-type for Black/White. I'm sick of Normal/Flying types getting pounded with Fighting-type attacks. I will miss the Ghost immunity, though.

I think it was the reference to gambling(roulette goddess) than any religious thing. The casinos in the games are called Game Corners internationally(and recently changed to Voltorb Flip games and you can't buy coins... Ugh). The funny thing is I've seen other things in the games that got past the radar. Which makes me question why they take certain things out of games that are still rated a higher requirement by the ESRB.(Dragon Quest stuff comes to mind)
I remember when Sneasel's dual typing were both special based in the earlier in the games, mixed with it having poor special attack. Thank goodness for the physical/special split.
To be honest, the only time I used a flying type against ghost types was Honchkrow, which wasn't immune to ghost attacks(But it did resist them). I've read some posts online about the Normal/Flying type combo, it is annoying. This is due to the neutral damage coupled by the fact that alot of Normal/Flying types don't have the best bulk and defenses. Staraptor is like this, but does get the intimidate ability(but is still useless against special attack based fighting moves). Togekiss is the only Normal/Flying type I enjoy training. It's not the fastest, but it's one of the bulkier Flying sub types(It survived against Cynthia's Lucario, who used Rock Slide IIRC).

It all makes sense now... CALVIN IS KYON! If only they would've included Mikuru Beam... BTW, I've started watching Haruhi-chan (the chibi 3D web-only spinoff of Haruhi) and it is hilarious. Fave characters are Haruhi, Kyon, and probably that one girl (can't remember her name, she has blue hair) who's trying to kill Kyon and ends up shrinking and being taken captive by Yuki.
Yeah, some of the type matchups in R/S/E/FR/LG were crap. Good thing they changed it to attacks that connect are physical, attacks that don't are special.
Weavile has a few Attack EVs, and once it reached Level 50 it will be on my Frontier team.

Back to Pokemon. You said you used a Honchkrow? I'd like to train one of those after reading about it on Smogon. I have one, but it's at a low level and has no egg moves or prematurely learned moves as Murkrow.

I remember hearing that Honchkrow had "usuable" speed on Smogon. Hey, with EV training it could be much faster. Yes, I've been hugely obsessed with EV training lately, but who can blame me with such huge stat gains? Too bad it only lasts for 3-4 level-ups per stat for only 2 stats...
Speaking of Absol, I have one close to Level 50. I was trying to beat Emerald, but I gave up since I had Action Replayed too much (I got all the badges without beating the Gym Leaders, if I remember right.), so I sent over my team to SoulSilver. The team was legit, including my Swampert and Absol.

That's what kinda screws most eeveelutions over, limited movepools. The two most used are Jolteon and Vaporeon, since they have good roles(Jolteon sweeper and Vaporeon bulky water). Espeon teeters on BL/OU, it's usually used as a Calm Mind-Baton Passer, as others tend to outdo it in sweeping(it's fast, but it's movepool is more limited than Azelf and Alakazam). Umbreon is usually used as a wall, due to it's highest stats being in it's defenses and hit points. It's there to wall psychic threats(including Latias, which is OU without soul dew at the moment), one setup that people do with Umbreon is a Curse setup combined with Payback, but this is risky with taunters, making it only usable sometimes(Although I did see a video where someone had Umbreon Baton Pass Curse to a Azuamarill and sweeped the opponents team with Aqua Jet).
Flareon, Leafeon and Glaceon are UU. Flareon due to lack speed and movepool, Leafeon I'm completely sure other than moves and Glaceon for the same reason as Flareon.

I totally agree about Eeveelutions being limited. I actually think Leafeon has a good move list, though I can't remember all of it, I know it had Leaf Blade and X-Scissor. I really wish I had 2 DSes right now so I could send over Azelf.
I'm training my Gengar now. It is at Level 37 and its moves will be Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Thunderbolt, and Focus Blast. I was tempted to pick Psychic, but since it will probably be on my Frontier team with Starmie or my soon-to-be-trained Gallade, I held off.

It's not the worst movepool, since it actually gets a strong grass attack that goes by it's stronger attack stat. I taught mine X-scissor on Platinum(help in dealing with psychics). Flareon gets the short end of the stick somewhat. Flareon's physical attack stat is 130 while it's special attack stat is 95(which is still fairly good), but Flareon's only physical fire attack is Fire Fang, no Flare Blitz for it at the moment(would be nice if they add in a fire type version of quick attack that it can learn 5th gen).
(looks up Leafeon)
Well, it does get a decent selection, more than I remembered. I didn't know that it could learn Aerial Ace. It might be it's typing that holds it out of OU.(Grass is rough defensively, 5 weaknesses)

Cool, you picked Chimchar, so did I on Pearl. Gengar is at Level 50 with the desired moves. Entered it in Battle Tower and it got swept on the first turn by a Faint Attacking Murkrow. >:( Oh well, it did fine after that embarassing faint. Wait a sec, does Faint Attack always strike first, or is my Gengar really slower than a Murkrow?

Gengar is supposed to be faster. Murkow's base speed stat is 19 lower than Gengar. Faint Attack is a always hit move, but not first priority. I think everything in the Battle Tower has 30 or 31 IVs in their stats. They probably have them holding items as well(This is just guessing).
If the Murkow outsped your Gengar, it might have been holding a Choice Scarf. Your Gengar's IV in speed might also have been a factor.

Hmm... maybe I should catch a bunch of Haunters on FireRed, see which one has the best stats/natures, then trade it and start the whole thing over again? Maybe I'm getting a little worked up over nothing.
Anyways, I'm training my Gallade now. It is at Level 36 and will know Psycho Cut, Leaf Blade, Earthquake, and Swords Dance. (No Close Combat because it learns it past Level 50, and I feel bad about using Pokemon past Level 50 in the Frontier due to the stat loss.)
So far I like Gallade, but its Speed is getting me a bit worried. To counter that, I EV trained it a little against some Golbats in the Victory Road cave. And of course, I maxed its Attack EVs by battling Goldeen/Seaking at the pool near Mt. Mortar.

Lemme check... it says he's somewhat vain. He has a Timid nature. Not sure how good that is, I'm not the biggest expert on Natures, I do know that Adamant is the best Nature for Physical Sweepers.
Gallade is almost to Level 50. My team for finishing off Palmer will be Gallade (easily takes out Milotic with Leaf Blade), Gengar (sweeps through the pre-Palmer battles), and Lickilicky (will know Ice Beam for Dragonite and Surf for Rhyperior.)

Written By: Step-chan on 06/02/10 at 8:52 pm
Timid nature is Speed boosted, Attack weakened. Somewhat vain I believe is linked to Sp. Def being the highest IV he's got.
I was right. The only thing about characteristics is that they can still have low IVs in all areas.
Here are the numbers that Somewhat vain represents: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31

Wow, the whole Lucky Star series? Doesn't that have the Hare Hare Yukai dance in it somewhere? (I know the dance is from Haruhi, but I heard it was also in Lucky Star.) I also have rented a DVD of Naruto Shippuden which I plan to watch before Tuesday. I'll probably watch it in Japanese with English subs, because the dubs are kinda annoying... IN AMERICA! (Yep, you totally saw that coming.)
I ended up getting a Shiny Stone in the Pokeathlon. My right hand felt like it was about to fall off... anyways, I now have Togekiss (that's what I needed the stone for), I've loaded it up with Aura Sphere, Psychic, and Air Slash from Move Tutor and a TM, and I plan to EV train it soon. I already used some berries to lower its unneeded Attack EVs,as well as some other stats, like HP and defenses, unneeded to sweepers. I want all its EVs in Special Attack and Speed.
BTW, are you using your Pokewalker? I heard you mention earlier you were having a hard time getting Heart Scales. On the Beautiful Beach Pokewalker route, they're among the items you can get with the Dowsing Machine, not to mention you get this route pretty early. Later on, when you unlock the Sinnoh Field route, you can get Rare Candies, though its rare (no pun intended).
One last thing (yeah, I wanted to talk a lot on this thread for some reason today), have you ever seen Pokemon: The Abridged Series? It's almost as funny as the Yu-Gi-Oh one, although it can be obscene at times. I found it funny that the samurai dude kept calling Ash "Satoshi" after his Japanese name. Also, when Ash sends out Metapod, the samurai says "Oh no, a Metapod! I will never beat it with a Pinsir!" then sends Pinsir back to its Poke Ball! They did make some pretty noticeable mistakes in the anime, well, at least to people who have played the games.

Giana the Furret
Miss Mint the Noctowl(Tree headbutting is good to get a low level one of these)
Zolo the Scyther
Chamoro the Butterfree
Pearl the Ambipom
Ena the Phanpy
Going to train Kisala in both levels and Special Attack, at least until 17-20. Good thing I have the Macho Brace. Might also train Nobue against Unowns, which give both Attack and Special Attack EVs.
Will be going to the National Park and Ecruteak next, as well as catching Sudowoodo.

Steel Wing
Gengar:
Shadow Ball
Sludge Bomb
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast
Lickilicky:
Flamethrower
Surf
Ice Beam
Power Whip
I'll mainly use Lickilicky's Power Whip against Milotic.
Right now, I'm primarily in the mood for training new Pokemon. I'm doing a Heracross right now. Jolly nature, highly persistent, and right now he's at Level 5. (I Egg hatched him.)

Earthquake

Gengar:
Sludge Bomb
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast
Lickilicky:
Flamethrower
Surf
Ice Beam
Power Whip
He lead off with Milotic, which I 2HKOed with Gallade's Leaf Blade. After that, his Dragonite got Gallade with Aerial Ace (I had been hit once with Milotic's Surf.) I sent in Lickilicky, who survived Dragon Claw and finished Dragonite off with Ice Beam. Last but not least was Rhyperior. I thought I had 1HKOed it with Surf, but turns out it had a Focus Band and followed it up with a finishing blow Earthquake. Oh well, I still had Gengar left who swept Rhyperior away with Shadow Ball.
Now I've beaten all 5 Frontier Brains once. Now all that's left for me is to beat them twice to get the Gold Prints, and complete the National Dex.

A few of the gyms are re-arranged, the Elite 4 is toned down level wise alittle. There's also more to it post game.
It's ultimately up to you, but I enjoyed it as much(if not more) as my copy of Pearl.

Hate to double post, but I must voice my opinion:
I rarely use Mixed Sweepers. Mainly because you have to either even out the Attack/Sp. Attack EVs or skip Speed EVs, and if you skip Speed EVs, you can get severely outsped and possibly 1HKOed. No offense or anything, but that's my honest opinion. Pretty much the only mixed thing I used in the Battle Frontier was Lickilicky with Power Whip just in case he had to fight Milotic.....

For me, it's just an ingame thing(Since my starter is going to have both physical and special based attacks).
Now Vulpix, I focused on getting at least alittle over 200 Sp. Atk EVs. It's not just because Ninetales gets only a modest Sp. Atk stat(81), but also because I want my Vulpix to learn Extrasensory, which is at 44. So she's going to need all the power she can get.

Kyogre is faster. But I imagine that Smeargle's Speed IVs and EVs were maxed along with a Jolly nature, while the Kyogre's EVs were focused in other areas. Judging by it's base stat spread, Kyogre looks like it's more of a Uber Bulky Water type, so most people probably focus on a Bulky Water EV spread, since it can take hits pretty well.

I saw a vid on YouTube of a Japanese vending machine that fills balloons with helium. However, the reason I mentioned it on this thread is because it plays 2 songs from the original Pokemon RBY during inflation: Pallet Town and Route 1. Nintendo is probably mad due to infringing copyrights.

Level 11 was when I evolved it. Alittle of the happiness boost came from Haircuts, leveling combined with the Soothe Bell. The rest came from pedaling on the bike plus the Soothe Bell. I don't have alot of money in game at the moment, so I had to do it the time consuming way(although it was still quicker than Buneary, 0 base happiness on Buneary being the reason).
As for the vending machine, who knows? It depends on how copyright laws are handled in Japan or if they got permission.

Ah, Haircut Bros. No wonder you got it so high. Buneary gets 0 base happiness? No wonder she said mine looks mean, even after a stroll on the walker. Happiness evolutions are always so much more enjoyable when they're based on the miserrrrrry of millions. LOL, another edited Robotnik quote.
I don't think all the balloon vending machines play the Pokemon music. The funny thing was it was 8-bit and authentic. Oddly enough, there are obviously Pokemon balloons in Japan, yet the machine was just selling ordinary/smileyface ones. I am huge into strange Japanese culture, including vending machines, they sell everything from hot foods to hermit crabs! Not to mention those 2-clawed UFO Catchers that never pick up anything. (However, I did see someone win a Mesprit plush in a 2-clawed catcher.)

I used the haircut brothers twice, that's not enough by itself. The thing is that pedaling on the bike, although time consuming, can still get happiness up to around max in an hour(give or take some minutes) with the Soothe Bell. The Soothe Bell adds an extra point for each increase in happiness. Leveling up adds 2 points by itself without the Soothe Bell. It's a shame you can't catch Eevees in the wild, I have some Friend Balls in my inventory(I plan to catch Miltank with one, to speed up maxing Return's power).
The haircut brothers actually add random values to happiness, I just don't know how much.
Now if I had the money for Calciums and Carbos, I definetly would have used them to speed up the process.
Happiness evolutions trigger at a minimum of 220 happiness, but it's hard to tell if you're at that point(It's during it really trusts you level, second highest), so I do it until the happiness rater gives me the message for the highest rating. I remember pedaling on both Pearl and Platinum for longer with Buneary just to max it's happiness. Buneary can be encountered in swarms in HG/SS, well... Friend Balls will be great for catching them.
I, too, am into things strange and unusual. Alot of it also being Japanese.
In some cases though... I end up finding things that are too much even for me, the Korean guro game Demonophobia for example... First read of it on TVtropes, then I looked up pics and found let's plays of it on Youtube out of curiosity... It's like a train wreck... Don't want to watch, but can't look away and end up regretting it.

Since it's going to be underpowered until 44, it needs what it can get. The fact that it reap the EV benefits as a Ninetales is just side benefit.
I had to speed train my Espeon, since it has a hindering nature to it's speed. Heck, my Crobat on Heartgold also had a nature that hindered speed.

Natures that hinder important stats totally make me uncomfortable. That's why I'm egg-breeding when I train Hitmonchan, because mine has a low-Attack nature.
I remember a while back you mentioned that James was similar to some character from a Yaoi (homo) anime. Still yet... Harley from the Advanced arc is the most Yaoi character in a non-Yaoi anime I have ever seen! Well, other than Kuwabara kissing Yusuke in a dream sequence in Yu Yu Hakusho.

Well, the first time I got Eevee it was a female, but it had an impish nature(Which drops special attack). I don't mind a speed dropping nature as much, provided I can fix it with EVs, but the important attack stat is a major no-no. It took me awhile to get another female and I didn't want to breed, seeing as how I already bred a Vulpix with an egg move(Energy Ball) and having less money at the moment ingame.
I'm trying to remember when and where I posted that about James... (I'll see if I can find it)
Harley definetly fits that mold.
While not about Pokemon, this is still an interesting find... You remember me mentioning Action 52?

In my honest opinion, James and Harley remind me of Shuichi and Ryuichi from Gravitation. Who knows: Giovanni could really be... EIRI YUKI! (I'm not the biggest Gravi fan, I mainly like the funny parts and the awexome soundtrack.)
Sharpedo is a Level 50. Pretty good stats, plus a decent moveset: Waterfall, Crunch, Ice Fang, and Aqua Jet. (2 STABs, a priority STAB, and a weapon against those Uber dragons.)

Physical Miltank? Hmm... don't know all that much about Miltank, so I'm taking your word for it. I like Normal-types because they can usually learn Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt.

Miltank has high defense and speed, it's attack is average, so I boosted it up by 220 EVs(which would equal 55 extra points). I'm going to boost it's speed as well, although not as much.

I've decided to still play Pokemon SoulSilver occasionally. I've trained a Hippowdon to Level 50 for the Frontier. Wow, Hippowdon is like the bulkiest Pokemon I've ever trained! (Well, him and Lickilicky.) Attack and Special Defense EVs round him out, with the moveset Earthquake, Crunch, Thunder Fang, and Ice Fang. I highly recommend you train a Hippowdon. Even though they're very slow, they make excellent leads that take a lot of Special Attack to 1HKO. That being said, mine pretty much survived everything in the early parts of the Battle Tower.

It's HP is decent, it's special defense is average. But that is still enough to help it out.
When I battled Bertha's on Pearl, it barely survived my Chimecho's Grass Knot(Which if my Roserade knew it, it would have been KO'd), but Chimecho survived it's Crunch somehow, so I got it in the next round.
I do see that it's defenses are solid enough for it's bulkiness. Sand Stream helps it to, I know it boosts the special defense of Rock types, but I'm trying to remember if Ground types also get that boost.
(Looks it up....)
It's only Rock types. Hippowdon is a pure Ground type, so that helps alot.

I've ordered a couple of games from Japan, Ranma 1/2 Super Battle and Vampire Saviour 3(Darkstalkers), I know both costed more than buying games here in the U.S., but at the time inflation and the world market were less chaotic when I got them(I think I spent 65-70 dollars for them though). Also got Dragon Quest 5 for the Super Famicom, but it was used.
So that's as far as I've been importing wise. All of my other imports were actually bought here:
Pocket Fighter(at a Babbages of all places, but Babbages was known at the time for getting occasional straight from Japan releases)
Um Jammer Lammy(At a Comic Carnival, which got Japanese imports and bootlegs of anime and movies as well)
A chibi plush of Yurika from Martian Successor Nadesico(which I got for 2 dollars at the same Comic Carnival)
Anime soundtracks: Ranma 1/2, Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku(This one is a remix), Dragon Ball collection. I also had Mahoromatic, but it was stolen from me. Very soon I'll also have the Dragon Quest 9 soundtrack, since I won that from the second prize period.

I've been thinking about Zoroark... is Illusion optional? Because I'm not sure about if I like it or not.
Anyways, I just finished training a Rapidash as a Physical Sweeper. I lucked out and got one with a Hasty nature that was alert to sounds. It's every bit as fast as my Latios. Moveset will be Flare Blitz, Megahorn, Bounce, and Poison Jab... a Grass-type's worst nightmare. Just need 2 more Heart Scales which I will get tomorrow on the Pokewalker after playing some DDR.

Possibly, but what if you had a Zoroark in your 2nd slot? It would be Zoroark.
Finished training Rapidash. Insanely fast, it has about 165 Speed at Level 50! It may not be the strongest (only about 140-something Attack), but with Flare Blitz and Megahorn, it's an effective weapon against many types. I'm clueless about who to train next... Togekiss is pretty much screwed with unneeded EVs, Hustle, and a bad nature. I might try to egg-breed for a Timid Togepi, but it'll be heck trying to get another Shiny Stone in the Pokeathlon, not to mention 2 more Heart Scales and TMs...... I think I'll go for it, though, after I finish training Skarmory and my 2nd Starmie.
Edit: Don't mean to brag or anything, but I am trying my hardest to become a tournament-worthy trainer. I'm going all-out with natures, EVs-IVs, and hold items.

Yeah, I would give you a King's Rock for one. Or an Iron Ball. Or a Moon/Sun Stone. Or something else relatively rare that I have hoards of due to Pickup.
I'm training my 2nd Starmie. It's looking to turn out the same way Rapidash did, only in Special Sweeper form. Insane Speed and good Special Attack.

Team Rocket is defeated in Mahogany. I was going to fight the seventh gym next, but decided against it. This is due to the level of Vulpix being lower than Piloswine's(and the fact that Vulpix won't be evolved anytime soon). I'm guessing I don't fight Team Rocket in Goldenrod right after doing this early. I probably have to get the next two badges or so.(I've detoured in this game before)
I'll be going into Mt. Mortar to get what I can with what's available HM wise and go get the experience share after words and then trek back to Olivine and Cianwood.

I'm going to get a Stone Edge TM for my Hippowdon to help it out in my rematch with Dahlia for the Gold Print. Stone Edge can take out Togekiss and Zapdos, while Earthquake will swallow Blaziken up. Even if Hippowdon fails, Starmie and Staraptor are sure to be of some assistance.
BTW, in your honest opinion, who is your favorite Pokemon? Not just talking about in the games, it can be for any reason. Mine is Blaziken. Blaziken is just uber-awesome. Fire and Fighting are my 2 fave types, it can leap 30-story buildings with one bound, and just like Charizard, it fights harder if the foe is stronger. Plus, its voice in the dub is epic.

Yeah, Absol actually has a solid base stat total, the only problem being it's speed(which if it was at least 20 points higher, would increase it's sweeping abilities), so I guess the odds of it getting one are fairly low. The Physical/Special split helped it greatly.

Exactly. Though I'm sure you knew those without me mentioning them.
I haven't played in a long while. Due to school starting back and interest in other games, I probably won't play Pokemon again until Black/White come out.

Another video, also shows a few in battle trainer sprites towards the end.
Check out the first one they show(Which is around 5:17-5:18 mark)! It now makes me think of a certain abridged series.
Also, the person put up some annotations, some of them are pretty silly.

WOW. This looks epic. I think that weird crossbow thingy was the new Pal Park setup. I wonder how we'll get that new Pokemon "Victini". So it's the new "cutesy legendary" and it appears to be an Electric-type... understandable. But POKEDEX DATA #000!??

Man, I love Mugen. I used to play it a lot, but I put it on a CD when I started preparing for migration to my new PC. I still haven't migrated yet, but I had some good characters, like Kamen Rider Ryuki and The King Of Hyrule from the CD-I Zelda games. The games themselves may suck, but nothing's more satisfying than beating a tough fighter by throwing dinner at them.

The character that Luigi is dressed as is just another nameless character from a Beatmania IIDX background video. IIDX has too many of those. BTW, what you said about Shaymin and Touhou gave me an idea... putting Shaymin in Touhou! Its special attack could be Seed Flare Master Spark. :D

People on 4chan's tr board also went to 2ch to see what the Japanese users were thinking about starter situation(which took alittle time, partially because of language barrier). Turns out the Japanese users are just as confused about whether or not they're real or fake.

Those 1st two were leaked from the beta art for the anime, so yeah... Those are legit. The rest... I got this feeling that they're not. People have analyzed them too, even in a forensic style site.
Serebii actually believes they're real, but Bulbagarden's owner doesn't(but believes Serebii's telling the truth about thinking they're real). PDLH(If I'm remembering the abreviation right), doesn't believe the leaks either. I think Pokebeach is listing them in the rumor category. Pokejungle, which consist mostly of rumors is listing them.
The problem is that another site(from Spain)... It's called PokExperto, claims to have the game(which isn't released in Japan until late next week), dex info and such(and has been listing them in a Twitter account). It's pretty obvious he's lieing.
As if dealing with the UFCW Local 700 trying to unionize my place of employment weren't stressing enough(Due to complications in the past I want nothing to do with them).

Well... There's an interesting tidbit of info that has popped up from a booklet describing things about the starters(unless the booklet is a fake, but who knows).
Apparently Mijumaru's final evo is based on something of a cross between an otter and a sea lion, with the shell becoming a katana.
Serebii himself is mixed on this, which means the evos he has up are possibly fake, but could still be real.
Although the shell doesn't really look katana-esque. But we'll see what happens late next week.

Thought I'd mention why I feel things are off and most likely fake with the 4 unconfirmed evos(which could just be a false reading from my intuition though, we'll need find out for sure next week).
Gen 5 has now become the year of fakemon. There has been more fakes popping up in between legit info this time around than in the past. I know gen 3 and 4 didn't have this much in terms of fakemon being made. At least a few fake Corocoro scans, multiple silhouettes, faked gameplay sprites and pics(not vids though) have popped up like crazy. Serebii even have some of these for awhile until he found out(and he wasn't the only one).
While anything can happen, I find that these leaked "evos" were found alittle too convieniently to possibly be real.

Same way with Marill in Gen 3(although it's a Gen 2 Pokemon), catch in it the wild, but not Azurill(which required an essence to get).
Neither of us know for sure... They could be evos, but it won't be possible until post game(since you run into them in the wild).

Ah, cool. Serebii also has a list of base stat on the final forms of everything. Emonga, the electric rodent of this new gen, is abit stronger offensively than Pachirisu; having 30 more points in both it's attack and special attack, adding up to 75 each.

And Mold Breaker is one of it's abilities as well, making it bypass abilites that grant immunity to certain attacks... Although, unlike Garchomp, it won'tl get STAB on Earthquake(not that it really needs it with it's 147 attack base stat). The biggest difference between it and Garchomp stat wise is that it's slighty slower and less bulky and sturdy.

RUUUUUUUUUUUU!
1. Emboar? Spelled like that in the Japanese version?
2. A main villain uses a legendary? HOLY SHAVING CREAM!
3. Some of the TMs have changed. No wonder you can't import items. So far so good with a ton of old faves. I just hope we keep Earthquake.

Cool, after listening to them a second time... I have to say that Dragonforce reminds me of Queensryche and Dream Theater alittle bit(It's partially the singing style).
Noticed the Infernape>Blaziken>Emboar label you have. They really tried some different stat distribution with all the starters for gen 5.
Emboar's main focus is in it's Hit Points(110), Attack(123) and Special Attack(100), everything else is 65.
Emboar will probably have a niche as a bulky Fire/Fight setup, requiring EVs in Defense and Special Defense.... I can't really picture it as a sweeper.
Also fairly hard to use a Fire type for Bulky switch ins, due to it's weaknesses being wide spread.
In fact, the only truly fast one is Janobii, Tsutarja's final form. But it also got a strange setup as a speedy mixed wall(probably more as an annoyer, not too different from something like Jumpluff).
You'd figure that Mijumaru's final form Daikenki would at least be the around 80+ speed, but it's only barely faster than Emboar, ranking in at a base 70 speed.
On another note: Serebii, Pokebeach and other sites have received a letter from NoA to take down the pictures of B/W off of their sites. They still have worded info up.

Man, that sucks, but they still have their banner at the top.
I'm somewhat disappointed in the new bird Kenhorou. It's 15 attack and 7 speed less than Staraptor. I don't see it being used in competitive play. I'm doing further analysis/comparisons for the new Pokemon. I'll keep you informed.
On a side note, Kenhorou does get Super Luck, which could give it an edge over Staraptor, but doubtful.
Further analysis: Man, the Kibago evo is stronger than Garchomp?! : ??? And on a side note, I'm not sure if I'll pick Pokabu now that I've seen Emboar's stats. I may pick Smugleaf Tsutaja or Mijimaru and use Hihidaruma, who is more my kind of Pokemon. 140 attack is inhuman, and 95 speed is very usable. Oh yeah, and forget Kenhorou, it doesn't get Brave Bird unless it's an egg move.

They at least have the worded info from the games still up, it's nice to know what the Mischievious Heart ability does. I think it was because they were playing the ROM and not the actual game. Bulbapedia last I checked didn't get a letter(last night, although now that I check again... they still haven't), but they've been low key with the info anyway. Melkor(Pokexperto) might have gotten in trouble too.
The weird thing with Serebii's situation is that Nintendo of America sent him the letter. Serebii lives in England, although his site is hosted in Texas.
Mamepato's final evo might make it as high as the BL tier for alittle bit in the competitive scene, but it probably won't last long(unless it gets a pretty effective setup to make it work that is unknown of at the moment).
Yeah, Kibago's final evo is stronger than Garchomp in attack, by 17 points I think. It is, however... slower than Garchomp by 5 points in speed. It's abit less bulky than Garchomp, mainly in HP and Special defense. But it could still become an uber, mainly due to only having 2x Ice and Dragon weaknesses, I imagine it getting some use in the Focus Sash/Yache Berry area, unless most deem that unnecessary(since a Choice Scarf would be far better).
With Pokabu, it would be fairly rough without EVs in both of it's defense stats. Something else I noticed is that all final forms of each starter can go pretty much with moves that are based on either attack stat, I wonder how much of that was intentional.
Subject: Re: Step-chan's Pokemon Platinum playthrough(Spoilers) and other Pokemon things.
Written By: DJ Blaze on 09/19/10 at 7:38 pm
The ROM was out for a while before the game came out, although no one did vids of it in fear of DMCA. I'm seeing a lot of Choice Scarf action in Wi-Fi Battle Tower. If I see something like a Glaceon outspeed my Timid Gengar, I'll know it's a Choice Scarf. Gengar did survive its Blizzard with 1 HP. No, no Focus Sash, I use Wide Lens on Gengar for its Focus Blast. (Though I should change it to Zoom Lens because I primarily use Focus Blast on types it's super effective against) My Gengar does have the Somewhat Vain characteristic which boosts Special Defense.
Well, enough about my Wi-Fi adventures, back to BW. I've noticed some of the Elite 4 members have pokemon like Bronzong and Frosslass on their teams. It's not fair that we can't get old Pokemon but they can! Also, this appears to be the hardest Pokemon yet, because their levels are in the 70s. Maybe I was looking at the rematch details, though... I've decided not to pick Pokabu and probably go with Mijimaru.
Here's my BW team so far:
Most likely confirmed:
Daikenki
Kenhorou
Hihidaruma
Maybe:
Desukan (desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu)
The Kibago evo (if I have the patience to evolve it)
The other starters if I can get them in the GTS
I probably won't use any legendaries in the main game, although those genies sure are tempting me.
Speaking of legendaries, here's all I can say about the Bug/Steel event legendary... IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR!!!

Ahh... The E4 rematches are what you're talking about.

People have been emailing NOA over their desist letters sent to Serebii and Pokebeach(started on Pokejungle).
I have thought about having you and my nephew(and maybe some others...) help me in forming a team. I'm not 100% sure I'll do that, since this is a new game with Pokes I've never trained before, but I'm considering it(it would be a temporary file like Heartgold). Of course, this will wait until next year when the games are out over here if I do.

That depends on how I want to do it, I'm also a member at the B/W clan board. So if I do it I'll probably be limiting it to one choice per person(Although I'll limit it to 5 people picking one each if done that way, that way I also pick at least one). Plus I won't know what starter will be picked, whether I pick it or not.
We've got time if I do plan it.
How it will go if I decide to go with it:
I pick one(I'll probably pick last... To see if a starter gets chosen first).
My nephew picks one.
You and another inthe00s member picks one each.
2 B/W clan members pick one each(I just hope no one says anything works ingame there, because that's not the point of little setup).
It was interesting going through Heartgold with the way it was setup, which was why I've been thinking about doing it again.

Good idea. I'll have to study more on base stats and moves before I decide. I'll probably go with Hihidaruma. Wargle looks cool, but I'm not sure on stats. I know he uses Brave Bird since I saw it in a YT vid for the battle with

That's not much of flaw(with both of them having a quad weakness to a differnet element), mainly with it being the best I think of with what I was willing to train... Considering that one's subtype and the other is primary(with Dragon as a sub). Plus, I can have Flygon take on some other moves for types I don't have(Flamethrower for example).
Plus, I had two Pokemon in HG(the one with team constructed by me, you and my nephew) with Rock typing and Poison typing(since the rule was no primary types are allowed to match, but subtypes are different).

Ah, I get it, no prob.
I've been checking out some of the base stats for the new Pokemon... still shocked that Hihidaruma is almost as physically powerful as Groudon. Zekrom is as physically powerful as Groudon, Reshiram is as specially powerful as Kyogre, and just a few points shy of Mewtwo and Darkrai. The fighting beast trio look pretty good. A little underpowered for sweepers, but they get good HP. Sacred Sword is a great move, but it'll probably get outclassed by Close Combat.

I haven't looked too much at the base stats for legendaries. I have, however... noticed how powerful some of the non legendaries are. The ghost/fire type's final form(Shanderaa I think) has a massive 140 base special attack(it's speed is 80, so it's middle ground in that regard)... Ouch...
You probably heard that Bel was the E4 champ alittle while back... It turned out not to be the case, how it circulated was the fact that the game has dummied data(inaccessible in other words) of her being the champ. Would have been interesting if she was one though(considering what her personality is like).
Found it interesting that there wasn't a forced character select in B/W period, considering how the first gym works(being based on your starter of choice)... Although considering that they haven't done it since gen 2, except for D/P's minor muck up due to the low number of fire types(although this is less based on the gyms and more on the last part of the game, with Rapidash being the only other fire type option... Fortunately fixed in Platinum).
Now I'm in the mood to compare forced character selections(and lack there of as well) here shortly.

The fact that Rock and Steel both resist Normal(knocking the damage down to .25) made it even funnier.
JPN exclusive, sounds like it. Similiar to Dragon Quest Battle Road(I think it's called that).

I see, I see. :)
I looked through TVtropes and noticed how they're now doing the Pokemon B&W stuff, by having it in folders for less clutter.
Also noticed in the Expy area that they compared Churine and Monmen as Oddish and Bellsprout expies.
While I agree that the Churine line is a Oddish line expy of sorts, I feel that the Monmen line is more along the lines of a Hoppip line expy(they're both cotton based Pokemon).
Now for something I wanted to post about on here for abit:
I have at least three Pokemon related parody ideas for original songs.
The first is one of the ones I've been meaning to write and finish. It goes to the the Black Market Flowers' Kenny and Cleo(the song I was lyrically transcribing here on the inthe00s in another thread).
The second goes to a Bloodhound Gang song, of course the Bloodhound Gang are known more for their raunchy songs. I don't know if I can post the title, it's in military code from a certain bad word.
The third goes to the Cowboy Junkies song Miles From Our Home. I can't really do this one until after Pokemon B&W are released here in the U.S. next year.
Just something I've been meaning to mention.

It also made certain gyms, mainly Sabrina's, a nightmare to deal with... as if having no good SE's on Psychic wasn't bad enough(There was a way to deal with it though, mainly hard hitting physical attackers... but things can easily go wrong).
Also due to the stat experience system, which only existed in the first two gens, made link battling abit long. Admitting, the stat experience system was good for ingame, since it enforced the rule "anything works ingame" to an even higher degree(by being able to max out all the stats on your Pokemon, less powerful ones were easier to go through the game with).

On Pokemon Ruby, I beat the 4th gym(next time I'm using X specials to help out... Stupid Torkoal Body Slam paralysis hax).
Have got the final member of my team, Yotsuba the Trapinch! Now I need to level her.
I've decided that I will do the "choose my team" plan for Pokemon B&W. I'll post the rules now, so I can back them up in PMs.
1. Two Pokemon family lines get picked on inthe00s.
2. Two Pokemon family lines get picked on the PokemonBWclan board.
3. My nephew picks a Pokemon family line.
4. I pick a Pokemon family line(I'm doing this last, mainly dependent on the what gets picked for me in other areas)
5. No two Pokemon can share the same primary type, if one has a sub type that's the same as a primary type, I'll allow it.
6. No two Pokemon can share the Flying type.
7. Only one Pokemon that needs to be traded to evolve is allowed at the most(I'm getting both versions, but I'll need help in evolving unless I start a temp file go through it until trading is accessible).
8. The Pokemon have to be available in the version I'm playing too.
9. One site gets to choose whether I play as the boy or girl.
10. The other site gets to name the character I'll be playing as, keep the name tasteful.
I'll be deciding which site goes first choosing by doing a coin flip. Also, keep a few different Pokemon lines in mind in case one you choose gets pick or another of the same type does. It's also too early choose right now, as the majority of all english names are unknown(minus Zekrom and Reshiram), again this is just so I can have the rules in back up.

Written By: Step-chan on 10/07/10 at 10:29 pm
It's abit premature to choose, so hold off for now(plus you only truly get to pick one, since this is different than the first one, unless I can't find someone else on this site to pick the second one ). ;)
Plus knowing the English names first will make it easier.
Keep something else in mind for when it happens, just in case. BWClan might get to pick first if the coin flip goes in their favor.
Norman's been defeated(Aron's pretty good at walling while using X items). Spoink's HP type is Ice, which is good due to the limited movepool options the Spoink line gets offensively(Shockwave being the only other move I taught it).

Chillarmy could, but I'm not sure of it's evo.
Emonga might, due to every Pikachu-esque rodent keeping their names so far.
Pokabu's final form might, but I'm highly unsure of it's first too forms.

You've got a very good point there. I'm pretty sure Emonga will keep it's name. Chillarmy is a possibility. I'm almost 100% sure Emboar will remain, but it's other two forms... Piglit and Pignition FTW!

I did word the first two rules vaguely, since I meant two people from each site, so my bad too. ;)
You can still keep those in mind though, just keep a third in mind in case the other board gets to pick first.(Since it's just going to be two picks from each board Pokemon wise, plus someone picking which trainer on one site while the other gets to name it)
I might make some additions to the rules for more picks as well.
I notice that you like Hihidaruma.

Those two could be possibilities name wise. I seen someone call Doreida(White version Grass type exclusive) Florasol, which would be funny if it actually gets called that(Which would mean Nintendo's translation team either got a coincidence or they frequent 4chan or some gaming board).
Darumakka and Hihidaruma could keep their names too... Not too sure though. I notice that alot of legendaries post 1st gen have kept their original names more or less.

That's the only problem, I did go out today to find out if Gamestop sold Wifi plug ins for computers. That was a mistake(as is with doing several things involving Gamestop minus pre-orders), mainly because they at first thought that I meant for the DS itself(which was dumb because I used the word "computer" in my sentences). They also mentioned that I could use the one at the food court(didn't have my DS anyway). They also told me I'd have to talk to my net provider about it, but I still need an adaptor either way regardless of what they said.
I also talked to a Border's employee, he said it should work(I'll try at Border's soon, although I'm nervous about trying at the food court, mainly due to the possibility of being mugged by soon bold idiot). Nintendo needs to make more wireless events, this is annoying.

Um.... what? Snivy is nowhere near Smugleaf, Tepig makes little sense to me, and.... Oshawott? What the heck?

Written By: Step-chan on 11/23/10 at 4:47 pm
Tepig would be equal to Tepid. Emboah(Emboar) might remain the same.
Snake/snide + Ivy for Snivy.(Best guess I've seen)
I read someone say Oshawa(to cross a river) is probably the origin of Oshawott.
Snivy was also the second most popular starter nickname, only Smugleaf was top.
I'll laugh if the mid form is Smugleaf. That would mean the localizers do look on the net for name ideas from time to time. This will be pratically confirmed(or a huge coincedence) if Doredia becomes Florasol and Erufuun becomes Dandelamb(Which I've seen as a fan name as well as Snuggleseed, which is too long of a name).

I will be doing a coin toss to decide which site goes first in the decisions. So don't make the choice just yet, but keep three different types in mind just in case(since each site only gets two Pokemon picks, you'll still have one).
All I need is two more volunteers here on inthe00s(one for another ingame Pokemon and one for trainer gender or name, depending on which site goes first).

I found out about that awhile back. Although this won't stop people from sending over their Pokemon that have the move. Stealth Rock is pretty centralizing though, I think there are only 2 or 3 Fire types in OU due to the obscene damage it does(if it was weaker, it wouldn't be too big of deal), although Fire is abit weak on defense due to water and ground moves being very common(Rock alittle less so). Kinda funny, when considering the sleep clauses and evasion clauses(well, the latter one I can understand).
Garchomp was banned to Ubers on there. I remember seeing threads and videos that were complaining(nevermind the fact that they could just set up their own rules elsewhere).
I remember one time someone on 4chan's Pokemon board complaining about Erufuun with the Mischievous Heart ability(which gives the Pokemon +1 priority when using non attacking moves, only priority moves like Quick Attack and Aqua Jet override it). Someone was also complaining on Smogon about Erufuun and that ability, asking for a support clause.

I liked the Darkrai movie, it's one of the best. And the Shaymin/Giratina one was cool. Ever notice that in the movies, Giratina sounds just like Mothra?

I thought Raikou went til the 9th, then Entei started the day afterward. Anyways, my bro's coming home now with 3 Raikous altogether: one on my SoulSilver, one on my Pearl, and one on his Diamond. It'd be something if I got Adamant and Jolly ones and he got a Modest/Timid one... but I'm hoping for a good-natured one.

Although it works better with Pokemon than the original series it's from(since you can give them different nutrients for EV boosting).

And at least there will only be one Hustle-mon at a time, due to Monozu not being catchable until late game.
I actually thought that Hustle affected the accuracy of special attack moves too, until I read otherwise.
It's a shame that Darumakka doesn't learn a couple of perfect accuracy moves.

I remember who they had on the Super Mario 3 cartoons, Milli Vanilla was in one of the episodes. After the controversy and confession happened, the songs were edited(cheesily edited at that, using an instrumental melody as a replacement).
Milli Vanilla? I remember in the Super Mario World episode "Rock TV" King Koopa had "Vanilla Ice Age" on Rock TV, who jumped out and danced to a instrumental of "Ice Ice Baby". During this, one of the cavepeople shouted "Ice Age Baby!"
Also, this quote pretty much speaks LOLWUT for itself.
(Mario and Luigi come home to Dome Castle with a Rock TV)
Toadstool: Well you can count me out. Yoshi and I are going for a nature walk.
Yoshi: But!... (Toadstool grabs Yoshi's arm and drags him away)
Mario: Hey, maybe we'll see you on PBS!
Um... I don't think PBS would air Super Mario World.

Hard to say.
I went to Serebiiforums and looked through the 5th gen board, other's mentioned that Serebii dropped by Bulbagarden and talked shortly about it(I think Archaic, the admin for the wiki site, used to be apart of the help on Serebii's site).
Judging by what I seen, the list is far more likely to be true. I think it popped up shortly before the official site's update.
This would also mean that Serebii is avoiding posting them(to keep from getting another C/D letter, the other was from with Melkor's leaks that were up a couple of days before, even Melkor wasn't supposed to leak them). He does know the list too.

Gothitelle can be male as well as female, having the drop a Bridget on them trope(If you've played or heard enough about the Guilty Gear series, you'll know this one), so for a male Bridget would be a funny name. But names like Hazuki, Dora(from the webcomic Questionable Content) and Misa(Or L, another name for a male) would be good for a female Gothitelle.

It's a Death Note reference, so yes(although I was thinking more of the original L who was a major sugar addict).
I'll give a you quick description of the Bridget trope. Guilty Gear, a fighting game, has a pretty unusual cast of characters. One of them, Bridget, looks like a girl in a nun habit and wears a blue outfit. Bridget is a guy though, the game's instructions and story don't hide this(this thought has required brain bleach for some people, seen others play the game, but didn't see the instructions).
On another note, I played Cleopatra Fortune on my Taito Legends 2 collection, made it up to level 49 on one credit. Also saw a picture of Patra-Ko(these show up when getting perfects) that I never got before, I did see it on a Youtube vid of the Japanese version previously.

I just know L as the guy who Light was trying to overcome by doing math problems with his right hand and writing names with his left. And by taking a potato chip and eating it.
Hmm.... so Bridget is a crossdresser. Just like Instructor Mooselini... (From Parappa, she wears a skirt but has antlers, which only male moose have.)

Yeah, I need it for HM purposes, which is annoying to some extent(For instance, I'll have to teach Meganium Rock Climb later on, but this way I'll have all the HMs needed for Mt. Silver). This way I won't have to swap out main team members for the most part, nothing more annoying than having main members miss out on experience points to gain levels. After everything is cleared, I'll touch up their move pool.
Good thing I have Ampharos for Electric moves, I had to temporarily teach Ampharos Rock Smash so I wouldn't have to do two trips through Victory Road, then deleted it afterward, I've kept Strength on it though(due to overworld uses). I also tested Hidden Power on Meganium, Espeon and Ampharos; since they were the ones that could benefit from it the most.
Meganium's hidden power type is Steel, which is not very useful(Fire would have been the best in this case). Rock is already weak to grass(Which is STAB with Meganium's type) and Ice is the only other type weak to steel and most Ice types in this game are either part Water(which neutralizes Ice's weakness to it) and Ground(which is weak to Grass as well), thank goodness for Earthquake.
Espeon's hidden power type is Psychic of all things, which is redundant. I was hoping for Fighting or Fire.
Ampharos actually got a decent one for an Electric type, Grass. Good for Ground and annoying Water/Ground types, although it's only a temporary move for it until I get another special type move later on.
I did some EV training with my team, but only partially. Meganium mainly for Attack and Special Attack, easy to do with Unowns(Which I defeated 120 of to get 30 points in each offensive stat). Did this to make Meganium more offensively rounded.
Ninetales was trained in Special Attack for around 200 points(giving 50 points to that stat at the start). It's base 81 Special Attack is average zone territory, which is why I did it.
I don't think I did much for Espeon, other than Speed(to help offset the Speed dropping nature abit) and trying to target as many Special Attack Pokemon in trainer battles as possible.
Miltank got trained against Attack EV pokemon for around 200 points, since it's Attack stat is in the average zone like Ninetales's Special Attack.
Starmie did get some Special Attack training early on, around 160 points(40 point boost), I think I had it fighting alot rock and ground types too(mostly for leveling, not really worried about EVs at that point). I probably have a fairly low Speed IV on it at that, still it's Speed is over double it's level(which is good).

I've never used Hidden Power all that much, most Pokemon I choose for my Wi-Fi battling have good movepools without it. As for my EV training, some of my best stats are:
180 Speed on Starmie
180 Attack on Hitmonlee
Over 200 HP on Vaporeon
All these at Level 50. Not bragging, just saying that EV training really makes a difference.

I know you weren't. Hidden Power is on Ampharos until Power Gem can be learned(I will get a few uses here and there with it), it's just that Meganium and Espeon don't have alot type attack options on them, so I checked to see if they had anything good HP types.
You did also get me curious to see if some of my Pokemon had more room for EV training.
I've beaten the E4, so I checked to see if Starmie could use any Carbos, 3 was it. But now I going to see if I can get alittle more speed with 4 of my team members(I could trying with Meganium and Ampharos too, but I've had them longer than anyone else, so I'm not sure if their EVs are maxed out yet. Shame I don't have EV reducing berries right now).

I was gonna use EV-reducing berries on my Togekiss, but I just decided to train another Togekiss since my other one had a bad nature and Hustle instead of Serene Grace. Actually, I just shoved Togekiss somewhere in my box and never trained a second one like I was going to....

Good luck, and for a little help, here's my EV training routine:
Attack: Water pool near cave (forgot the name) that you can surf and find Goldeen and Seaking. Equip Power Bracer.
Special Attack: Route that leads to the Lake of Rage. Battle Mareep/Flaafy and Girafarig. Equip Power Lens.
Speed: First Kanto route. Fight Pidgey and Rattata. Equip Power Anklet.
Pokerus helps for all of these, of course.

I like watching LP's of video games. A few months ago I came across one for the Game Boy version of Home Alone. I could never get past the second level of that game, but the guy who uploaded his complete playthrough actually explained what he was doing in order to get past all the obstacles, which could be helpful tips.

Did they have the mall tour for B/W near you?
They're dropping by Indy on the 19th. I actually have Saturday off, so I'm toying with the idea of going.
Edit: Just did a Lucky Star character quiz(it only covers the girls, but I didn't mind).
What it said:
You are Konata. You are video game & manga addicted. You are technically considered a geek but you are a very determined one if you put your mind to the test. You like to bug other people & love to scare the people who get scared really easily. You have such a dirty mind that it is easily shown everytime the subject of an adult game is brought up. That dirty trait was influenced by your father. You are easily distracted when you're trying to study & are too lazy to put effort into your work but if there's something you want, you find a way to get it. Since your mother died when you were very young, you do all the house work & take a lot of responsibility with your house work but not homework.

Yep.
That's going by Japan's release of Red and Green in 1996, another interesting thing is that the creator was working on the game since around 1990(at that time he called it Capsule Monsters).
Here's a link with the earliest pics: http://www.unseen64.net/2009/02/04/pokemon-red-blue-beta/
We got the first games around 1998 or so here in the US, which you're correct on. Our versions(Red and Blue) are Japan's Red and Green with the graphics from the their third version Blue.
It took awhile for the games to get translated and localized for America, partially due to the fragile coding in them, making it a pretty delicate operation of sorts. There were quite a few glitches and bugs in originals mainly due to how it was coded(Missingno. being one of the most known).

Perhaps you guys can help me. I satarted playing White yesterday, I've never played a game with the new Pokemon.
I,ve always played the older games or the games with the older pokemon. I am familiar with them and know who is
good and who can do what. With these new ones I am lost, I know about type matching, I know what is weak against
what but what I don't know is who is good in this game. I don't want to be walking around with a tean full of Meowths.
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 04/14/11 at 8:42 pm
Let's see, I don't what your starter is, but I can give you some decent suggestions. You're playing Pokemon White.
The elemental monkeys: Pansage, Pansear and Panpour are all good choices(they evolve by Leaf, Fire and Water stones), they are slightly stronger than a Raichu. I recommend waiting until at least level 22 before evolving any of them.
Lilligant(Petilil's evo)a is very strong and fairly fast grass type, although it's limited to mainly grass, normal and Hidden Power attacks. Wait until it learns Giga Drain to evolve it. Quiver Dance is also a good idea to teach it(which it learns after it evolves at level 28). Recommended ability for it is Own Tempo.
The Solosis line is the exclusive Psychic line in your version. It's slow, but has high sp. attack and is fairly bulky. Musharna is also another you can choose, but it's slighty weaker than Solosis's final form. If you're wanting a faster Psychic type, Sygilyph(which is Psychic/Flying) is a good option.
Darmanitan is a hard hitting(from the physical end) Fire type. The only minor annoyance is that Darumaka(it's prevo) has Hustle as it's ability.
Zebstrika is decent, but can only learn Electric, Normal, Fire and Dark moves(and can get a fighting type egg move).
There are a few fighting types you can get early on in the game, Sawk(you're version has it as a rustling grass encounter), Throh and the Timburr line. Mienfoo(The fastest Fighting type) pops up later in the game and is also a decent option.
The gen brought about a decent amount of good Bug types, interestingly enough. I have Leavanny on my team. It's Bug/Grass, which has alot of weaknesses, but it actually does a good job. The Bug/Electric(Joltik line) type is also another good option.
There are actually less new Water types this gen. But a couple of a good options(that aren't the water starter or Panpour) are the Frillish and Tirtouga lines.
Let me know if you want anything on other types.

Written By: Step-chan on 04/15/11 at 10:28 pm
I've winded my way around to Undella town, also went to the Giant Chasm(mainly so I could pick up the Ice Beam and Psyshock TMs, haven't bothered with you know who there yet).
Met Cynthia, but told her no to a battle(my team is 19-20 levels lower than her's).
Starter's at 57, the rest of the team is at 56.
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: loki 13 on 04/16/11 at 11:16 am
Thanks for the info. As I said I just started the game and I'm not familiar with the new Pokemon.
In all the other games the first time I played them I always started with a fire type, this game is no different. Fire
types always seem the hardest to come by early in the games. Usually my team consisted of fire, water, flying, rock
psychic, and electric.
I haven't attempted my second badge yet, I am trying to level up what I have. Right now I have:
Pignite...lv. 17
Throh...lv. 16
Munna...lv. 16
Roggenrola...lv. 14
Pansage...lv. 13
Blitzle...lv. 12
This line up is subject to change, I just haven't yet figured out a change to what. We'll see.

Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 04/16/11 at 5:27 pm
Sounds good.
They actually made a good amount of Pokemon with Fire typing(whether it be primary type or secondary in a duel type setup) this gen, with 3 available before the 4th gym.
Pignite line(The obvious choice at the start of the game)
Pansear line(If you picked a different starter and don't get Pansear, there is another place near where you are where you can catch them in the rustling grass along with Pansage and Panpour after you beat the 2nd gym and deal with another event)
Darumaka line(After the 3rd gym, although I think you can go up there ahead of time, but I didn't worry about it myself)
Litwick line(Ghost/Fire type, it can be caught shortly before the 6th gym)
Larvesta line(Bug/Fire, after you get Surf, post 6th gym, on a sea route... You receive it as an egg)
Heatmor line(After the 8th gym)
(I'm excluding Legendaries in the list)
Also, in the city with the 3rd gym, you'll get a nice item called the Eviolite. It boosts the def and sp. def of a Pokemon that can still evolve by 50% while they're holding it. It'll be very helpful while raising Blitzle(which can't take hits well) and anything else that takes awhile to evolve or it you're wanting specific moves on ones that evolve by Evolution Stones.

Getting into the second gym was a lot harder than beating the gym leader. It wasn't the questions or the process
that was hard, it was figuring out what I had to do. I spent some time leveling up a fighting type, throh, specifically
for the gym battle and never even used him. Pignite's arm thrust was all that was needed, I didn't even have to leave
the gym or use potions, like I said, the journey was harder than the battle.

I'm still trying to figure this game out. My rock type takes damage from an electric type, my rock type, though one level below,
did minimal damage to a flying type and my flying type had no real effect on a psychic type. Has everything in this game changed.
Also, I am having more trouble with trainers than I am with gym leaders. I just don't get it.
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 04/22/11 at 11:32 pm
That would be due to Rock typing itself not being immune to Electric(The way it's always been). Alot of Rock types in the past also had Ground typing in them, making them immune.
What move were you using on the Flying type? Because since 4th gen, there has been a Physical/Special split(so every type now has Physical and Special moves). Also, what were you using on the Psychic types move wise?
Some of Psychic types this gen have also been made abit bulkier in the past(Gothitelle, Reuniclus, Musharna and Beeheeyem being the most bulky ones I can think of).
Some of the less bulky Psychics are the Woobat line and Sigilyph.

I thought Roggenrola was on the lines of Geodude thereby immune to electric attacks, I guessed wrong, not only was I hit with an electric attack
it did some real damage.
Again with Roggenrola (lv.23), I used Rock Blast against Tranquill (lv. 24), though it did damage it wasn't a knockout like I was used to. I ws
expecting an outcome like Geodude's Rock Throw against flying types, a one hit KO.
I used my Tranquill (lv. 24) Air Cutter against a trainers Sigilyph (lv.23) and did little to no damage, again using the games I am used to, I always
used Fearow against psychic types and never had a problem.
I guess I'll get used to it, after all I only have three badges. I have plenty of time to figure this out.
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: DJ Blaze on 04/23/11 at 1:00 pm
Geodude is Rock/Ground, Roggenrola is Rock. Only Ground types are immune to Electric attacks. Also, I can tell you that Sigilyph has high Special Defense, and since Air Cutter is a special attack (as opposed to a physical attack like Wing Attack) it did less damage.
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 04/23/11 at 8:09 pm
Both of Sygilyph's defensive stats are the same, interesting enough. But when using the Pidove line, it's better to go by physical moves ingame. Judging by the Pidove family level up movepool, they had abit of a sense of humor. The Pidove family only learns special based Flying attacks by level until it gets Sky Attack later(but can learn Fly by HM as well as Aerial Ace and Pluck fortunately). So You'll need moves like Return on it sometime soon to give a good boost until you get the HM for Fly.
Moves like Air Cutter(which are special attack based) are a better attack for Pokemon like Sygiliph, Emolga(well, Emolga's Atk and Sp. Atk are the same base stat wise) and Swoobat(who is not an offensive power house either way) to use.

I must pose a question that is Pokemon related. They Boy and his friend are also playing the game. The Boy is playing Black and his friend,
like me, is playing White. They want to know if it is possible to trade Pokemon from Heart Gold or Soul Silver into the Black and White versions.?
If so, how and when?
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 04/27/11 at 10:19 pm
You can't trade between HG/SS and B/W. This is due to there being no 5th gen Pokemon in the 4th gen coding.
You can, however, transfer them from HG/SS to B/W(kinda like the Pal Park).

I like the series alot, it has it's own little following on 4chan's /co/ board(much to the annoyance of the "stop having fun" and "stop liking what I don't like" guys on there). MLP FiM is a definite improvement over the previous gens(I was a kid when generation 1 was on, gen 3 and 3.5 are the worst from the art I've seen).
Wrestling is probably the most male oriented thing I've watched, maybe other than liking Bowling.

As for it spreading here, I tend to go to 4chan on and off(mainly to read and on rare occasions post), so I ended up catching wind of the newest generation of the show and decided to check it out(I had watched the 80s cartoons when growing up, they weren't bad, but could have been better. The newest version of the show is much better written).

So far I thought all the gym leaders were relatively easy. I am having more trouble with trainers than any of the
gym leaders. It also seems to me that in this game the Pokemon level up faster than any of the other games. I
walked into Twist Moutain with a level 31 Basculin and walked out with a level 39. I have it holding the Lucky Egg
but still, I didn't dawdle in the Mountain and still gained 8 levels.

Yeah, although gym leader difficulty can factor in with whatever your team is composed of.
With Lenora, for instance... I didn't train up a fighting type(mainly because this playthrough I'm doing is a temporary one, I plan on trading some things over to another file, whether it be my nephew or buying a copy of White. I had most of my team picked out by others including DJ Blaze), so I had to do a Thunder Wave to help disrupt her Watchog(which was the only one I was leary about on her team, since it hits pretty hard for that part of the game).
First gym in some ways can be alittle rough(compared to the previous gens mostly, except for gen 1 if you picked Charmander), but only if you don't have Pansage, Pansear or Panpour.
The 8th gym made me alittle nervous, mainly because I didn't have any ice attacks. But it was awesome that I won with my Leavanny by Sword Dancing and doing X-Scissor(even Haxorus was KO'd in one attack).
My progression team wise by gym was(going by memory as best possible):
1st Gym: Oshawott, Pansear
2nd Gym: Dewott, Blitzle
3rd Gym: Dewott, Blitzle and Swadloon
4th Gym: Dewott, Zebstrika, Leavanny, Darumaka and Gothita
5th Gym: Dewott, Zebstrika, Leavanny, Darumaka and Gothita
6th Gym: Samurott, Zebstrika, Leavanny, Darmanitan and Gothorita
7th Gym: Samurott, Zebstrika, Leavanny, Darmanitan and Gothorita
8th Gym: Samurott, Zebstrika, Leavanny, Darmanitan and Gothitelle
Deino got added afterward(Marhawkman from Woodus picked one that appeared really late, so my team remained at 5 for along time)
And Hydreigon is my final member.

I now have all of the starter Pokemon from all gens! Now to evolve them all.... I also got some more good deals on the GTS. I got an Articuno in exchange for my Porygon. (Why is Porygon so popular?) Some Action Replay hacker gave me a Lv. 100 shiny Porygon-Z for one of my Houndours. I knew it would be illegit, but I needed the Pokedex data, and (since I traded my last Porygon) something to breed more Porygons from. Also, on the normal GTS, I got a legit shiny Remoraid for my Pansear.
Did you know that the GTS and GTS Negotiations have censorship? Pokemon that are nicknamed inappropriately will have their nickname removed and replaced with the Pokemon's name. Also, trainers whose names are vulgar will show up as Kuro* (for Black users) and Shiro* (for White users).

I know about the censorship setups.... They also have them in Dragon Quest games(someone on Woodus was surprised that they couldn't rename a character Moses, this is not due to religious overtones... but due to part of the name being a derogatory term in another language).
I'm going to be transfering legendaries and starters among others onto my Soulsilver file(make it the my center for trade after I get wifi sometime in the future, although some of it will be through Pokemon Black), I have alot of some of the same legendaries that will nice to trade. I think I need to catch one more legendary in Pearl that I didn't bother with awhile back(I think it's Regigigas).
My nephew, Gohanzo1, restarted his file on White the last time he was over here(he traded 12 pokemon to my file on Black, this is part of the reason why I'm waiting to restart mine... Which I have 14 Pokes set up to trade).

Good job, let me give you some advice next time you take on a roaming legendary: Quick Ball. Since each encounter is considered the first turn, you can weaken it on previous encounters, then nab it with the Quick Ball.
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 06/19/11 at 5:21 pm
I'm aware of the Quick ball strategy(I did actually use a couple here and there when attempting). ;)
I was using Love Balls at first when dealing with Latios by having Latias out(The capture rate calculator is wrong on Metal Kid's site. Latias doesn't affect it's ratio, I found out later when looking at another site).
I was having extremely bad luck yesterday with Latios(when using the more appropriate Balls), almost every toss(He was a 1 HP and Paralyzed... Looking back I should have used Sleep due to it reseting the counter for sleep with every encounter) was either no bounce or 1 bounce for the most part.
Late last night, I got fed up, took the Ariados I traded from Heartgold and relearned Spider Web. When I ran into Latios, I Spider Web'd it and started throwing Dusk Balls(I used over 30 before it was caught).
So last night I learned that Love Balls are only good for catching the opposite gender of the same species. They're nice to have if you plan on dropping Pokemon at the daycare, thus saving money on Pokeballs, but aren't good otherwise.
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: DJ Blaze on 06/19/11 at 9:31 pm
I've never used Love Balls. I either go with Ultra Balls (the standby), Dusk Balls at night, and more recently, Quick Balls.
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 06/20/11 at 11:48 am
Love Balls are good for catching Pokemon of the opposite gender that are the same species, so they're nice when you plan on breeding more of that family(like catching two Pikachus for example, the Love Ball is 8x modifier, so in alot of cases you don't even have to weaken them to catch them when you have one of the opposite gender out).
As for custom balls in HG/SS, I've found that these are the best to make:
Level Balls: Mainly good when you doing alot of late game catching(due to your team being alot higher that most Pokemon in alot routes in both Kanto and Johto), the only bad thing is that Red Apricorn trees are one of the fewer trees in the game, so it's best to make them late game when you've farmed alot of them.
Heavy Balls: While being abit more situational than Level Balls, Heavy Balls are great for catching Snorlax and Groudon among others(a 1 HP and asleep, Groudon has over a 30% chance of being caught in a Heavy Ball).
Lure Balls: There are plenty of water types to catch on the fishing rods, so these are definetly good to use.
Fast Balls: Situational like the Heavy Balls, but still have their uses.
The others are more of a personal preference.

I've looked through the forums before. It was really interesting when the Pokemon were being shown, leaked, etc.
Really funny when they found fake ones. Sometimes it would fool them for a short period of time(at least the good fakes, which is understandable).
Others were too obviously fake, like this toucan looking Pokemon that someone made and editted into a screenshot. Two things really gave away it's fraud. First was the lack of good quality and the missed matched terrain. The second was the fact that the faker covered the name of the actual Pokemon he editted over with his finger.

I've seen people post about how others disconnect when something doesn't go their way.
For instances: Someone brought out an Espeon with it's new ability(that bounces back hazards and such) just when the other used Stealth Rock, bouncing it back on him. The Stealth Rock dude disconnected of course. Which shows just how many people are reliant on that move(too bad they didn't power it down slightly or at least have more things Rapid Spin to use on it).

Mewtwo: A standard Life Orb sweeper with Psystrike (perfect for taking out Blissey/Chansey and Kyogre), Aura Sphere, Flamethrower, and Ice Beam.
Rayquaza: Dragon Dance sweeper with (obviously) DD, Outrage, Earthquake, and Extremespeed. I often switch him in after one of my Pokes gets KOed to finish off the opposing Pokemon with ES.
Lugia: Standard wall with Roost, Toxic, Reflect, and for more entry hazard chaos, Dragon Tail.
Zekrom: A "MixKrom" with good all-around stats and Bolt Strike, Dragon Claw, Draco Meteor, and Volt Switch. Perfect for taking out Kyogre :D
Arceus (Fighting): A Special Sweeper with good defenses as well, plus Recover.

I never thought about that connect to Lion-O and Street Fighter with your avatar.
Oh, my starter on my restart on Black will be Snivy, I got that result from posting on a thread in /vp/ awhile back(It was a choose your starter one, with the last number affecting your which type you got).

Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: DJ Blaze on 09/06/11 at 2:20 pm
Both Skill Link and Technician Minccino are good IMHO. Also, did you know that the voice of Snarf in the Thundercats remake is the voice of Togepi?
Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 09/06/11 at 6:41 pm
Skill Link and Technician will influence what normal type move would be used(Sweep Slap for Skill Link and Return for Technician, due to not having alot moves that can take advantage of Technician in Minccino's overall move pool).
Bullet Seed and Rock Blast will always hit 5 times in Skill Link while they'll get a power boost from Technician, but will be more haphazard due to the random hit range total.
A Skill Link movepool would be: Sweep Slap, Bullet Seed, Rock Blast and Dig.
A Technician movepool would be: Return, Bullet Seed, Rock Blast and Wake Up Slap or Dig(depending on my type coverage needs).
So Snarf has Togepi's voice actor. Spike from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic has Shampoo's voice from Ranma 1/2, kinda surprised me alittle when I read it on TVtropes.

Update time! Looks like all new protagonists for the game sequels(just saw this today, I'll probably stick with the girl this time... The original B/W games are the only ones in a while that I'll play as either gender). I wonder how it's going to pan out gym leader wise, will they be all new or not.
There have been some things I found out in the beta department as of recently. There were originally going to be 190 pokemon in the original red/green/blue versions(alot of these are apparently the ones found in the 2nd generation games).
I've also bought a used copy of Pokemon White. It doesn't have a save file though, which is a little annoying, I'll have to play through it until I can get to the point of accessing the trading option.

I just need to get my DS charger back from my nephew. He has a DS lite and DSi(this one from Christmas).
While I'm able to charge my DS lite, I currently can't charge my original DS. I've been doing Dragon Quest 9 files on a second copy to use to canvass for guests on my original copy, which requires me to use both of my DS's. I have no idea how much more I can use it before it needs charged.
I went out to Gamestop to find a used original DS charger, what they have are universal ones. After buying one from them, I got home and found out that the universal part was a lie.
It fits in these: DS lite, DSi, DSi XL and 3DS, but not the one I need it for. That's what I get for forgeting that I was dealing with Gamestop employees.
>:(
Due to this, I haven't started the White file for trading yet. I know it will take more battery power than guest canvassing for a minute or two on DQ9.

Oh yeah, finally got the planned team down for the new file.
Serperior - Chosen by chance on 4chan from a thread titled "Choose your starter".
Simipour - My most favorite elemental monkey.
Victini - A first for me, as I've never trained a legendary before, although this won't be the first 600 BST Pokemon.
Scrafty - Really like this one as well.
Excadrill - Was going to train Cinccino, but due to me really wanting one with the Skill Link ability and it not being available at this point, I decided to hold out for another playthrough and just train Excadrill instead.
Emolga- Although only average, I'm going to train this one. Plan on getting the egg move Air Slash on it.
I am going to EV train them. (I'm also going to train up a Watchog, Audino and Sawk for early game until I can get some decent EV training spots).

Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 05/07/12 at 11:51 am
Ruby and Sapphire(along with Firered and Leafgreen), thankfully, use flash memory for the save files, making the internal battery(which isn't in FR/LG) only responsible for timed events.
I'm somewhat stuck on what my complete team is going to be.
What I do have planned:
Venusaur
Wigglytuff(to make things interesting)
Dugtrio
Jolteon or Flareon
Slowbro (Never trained this one before)
The problem comes into play due to the Eeveelutions and the starter I chose this time around.
If I pick Flareon, Magneton becomes the main Electric type to use.
If I pick Jolteon(who I never trained before), Ninetales would be the main Fire type to use.
Neither Ninetails or Magneton are very versatile in the G3 remakes, which is why I'm undecided.

Written By: DJ Blaze on 05/07/12 at 12:55 pm
Interesting picks, haha, I just bought a holographic Wigglytuff card from Base Set 2 for a paltry $2 at CM Gamers last Friday LOL. Personally I'd go with Ninetales if it was Gen 4 or higher (due to Energy Ball and Extrasensory) but in Gen 3 I have no clue.

Both Ninetales and Magneton are limited to same type, normal attacks and Hidden Power.

Oh look, a Pokemon thread, I should probably post something on it. What ever shall I say. Guess I'll just share my history with it.
I guess you could say I started late since my first game was Emerald, and I think Swampert's still my favorite pokemon. Then I got LeafGreen, which I don't know why since I choose Charmander as my starter. Then I got Platinum, which I haven't played for over two years, but think I have a total of 300 hours clocked. I also got White version later, but seemed to stop playing it abruptly due to busy-ness. I did however take some influence/inspiration from that and Platinum's storyline for my own story I was working on.
One under productive summer day in 2010, I found an ad for a Pokemon MMO, which I clicked and it led me to...a phishing site. @.@ But it still introduced me to the idea of an online pokemon game, and I found Pokemon World Online, started playing that and made good friends (others include Pokemon Dawn of Darkness and Pokemon Cyrus, but all three of these are under independent development and experience a lot of bugs). I still do play that occasionally.
The whole social aspect of it seemed to give me a new interest, and so I started watching the Pokemon anime from the beginning since I had never really watched any of it (this is like a little over a year ago at this point). But I concede that I am kind of slow with watching it, and am only halfway through the fifth season (Master Quest). In conclusion, nowadays I find more pleasure in looking at funny pokemon pictures and webcomics than actually playing the games.
Edit: Oh, also I have downloaded emulator which I played through Yellow and also previewed some of the hacks such as Snakewood that one might find on some pokemon forum.

Subject: Re: Pokemon General
Written By: Step-chan on 06/22/12 at 8:00 pm
2nd Gym completed. Sent over the most important trades I needed in the game for breeding and such.
I'm using a early team of sorts until before the 4th gym, so that I wouldn't mess up my starter's EV training.
Team Early Bird:
Panpour (female) Nickname: Tania Ability: Gluttony
Tania will be in the daycare center so that I can breed a new Panpour(with Ice Beam from Samurott), also for rock/fire and ground coverage until I can get to that point.
Audino (female) Nickname: Woona Ability: Regenerator
I wanted something that could wall well for the early game, she'll also help in Exp. Share training the main team.
Woobat (male) Nickname: Ronfar Ability: Unaware
He's here to help me in the 3rd gym and to be raise with the Emolga I've traded over(To get the egg move Air Slash). Plan on getting him evolved soon.
Sawk (male, no other gender for it anyway) Nickname: Chop Chop Ability: Sturdy
He help in the second gym, and will be around for fighting type attack coverage for a bit and help EV train the others.
Main team plans:
Snivy (male) Nickname: Archie Ability: Overgrow
Grass and normal attacks will be on his set, Hidden Power as well if it's Fire, Ground or Ice. He ended up with a brave nature, so I had to redo his EV set to make up for the speed drop.
Ev spread: Attack:180 S Attack:220 Speed:110
Panpour Ability: Gluttony
Will be raised with Samurott for Ice Beam to be passed down.
Natures I'll be fine with: Quirky, Serious, Hardy, Bashful, Docile, Naive, Hasty
EV spread: Attack:200 S Attack:200 Speed:110
Victini (genderless) Nickname: Sanada Ability: Victory Star
The first time I've ever decided to raise an actual legendary. Will mostly focus on Special Attack and Speed and has a naughty nature, so I will give it one physical attack, also started on it's EVs prior to trading, so it will be the quickest done.
EV spread: HP:70 Attack:40 S Attack:200 Speed:200
Scraggy
One of two walls on the main team(The other being Snivy), this will give me decent coverage. Will be raised with Darmanitan to pass down Fire punch.
Natures I'll be fine with: Quirky, Serious, Hardy, Bashful, Docile, Adamant, Impish, Careful, Jolly
EV spread: HP:252 Attack:252 Speed:6
Drillbur (Female) Ability: Sand Rush
Just got this one on my last session, caught a female in case of a bad nature(which I would have had to then breed). Ended up with a Neutral one, so it's fine the way it is, just need a nickname for it.
EV spread: Attack:252 Speed:252 HP:6
Emolga
This will be the electric member of the team, wanted to focus on special attacks for it, will be raised with Woobat to pass down Air Slash, will see if it has a Hidden Power that will complement it as well. Plan on a female and will nickname it after a My Little Pony FiM character.
Natures I'll be fine with: Quirky, Serious, Hardy, Bashful, Docile, Bold, Modest, Calm, Timid
EV spread: S Attack:252 Speed:252 HP::6

The only real problem with Black version is that there are no decent special attack areas prior to the 4th gym. At least the White version has Petilils in Pinwheel forest at around 1/3 the encounters compared to Black version only have the Desert Resort, which houses Maractus and Sigilyph at 1/10 each for about a 1 in 5 chance. The only pro to that is that both of those Pokemon in the desert give 2 special attack efforts each(but it can still take a long time if you get really unlucky with the encounters).

Written By: Step-chan on 06/29/12 at 10:43 pm
Cool. O0
The funny thing is that it's really easy to train a physical sweeper during the main game, since the 1st route has nothing but attack EVs and the Wellspring Cave has 50% chance encounters with Woobat for speed.
With Snivy(well, he's actually a Servine right now), I wanted him to be as good for setup with Growth as much as possible, thus the mixed stat combo training. I'm not completely sure what final move set(other than a Grass attack and Growth) he's going to have, it mainly depends on his Hidden Power type(Fire or ground will be nice).
Emolga is purely a special sweeper, and it's move set isn't completely planned out, only Thunderbolt, Volt Switch and Air Slash are a sure thing. Again Hidden Power will determine the final slot(I'm hoping for Grass on this one, but I'll take any that is decent enough).
Victini, fortunately, will be the quickest in EV training, it already 310 EVs done(I gave it 7 HP UPs, 4 Proteins, 10 Calciums and 10 Carbos on my old file). It already has Flamethrower and Psychic, will have one physical attack and either Shadow Ball or Thunderbolt.
Panpour, mixed sweeper, moves for sure: Surf, Ice Beam, Acrobatics(no need to wait for it to learn it naturally, I'm glad it's a TM in the game). I'm doing a slight adjustment to the spread due to the offensive based nature she has.
Scraggy and Drilbur are going to be the easiest ones, pure physical attack.
I do have the Macho Brace. I'm also utilizing a few pickup pokemon to make it worth the while.
Overall it's something I've wanted to do during a main playthrough at least once(I've done in past postgames on Leafgreen), chances are I won't do it again though.
Also:
I found out that Minccino with Skill Link is available in the sequels. http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/MLP-Step/Extra/poke444.jpg
Cinccino has a definite spot on my team in the sequels!
Something I just thought of:
The tower that has Litwicks and Elgyems is the best special attack training spot in both versions of the game. I could wait until then for the most difficult members and train up the easy ones now(The most difficult being my starter, Emolga and Panpour). Might not be a bad idea, since I would be using part of team that way and get the others caught up later, might also get the mixed ones at least partially trained so their levels are decent for finishing their training.

I decided to go with my original plan and stick to the Desert Resort. Sometimes I've been unlucky, but I've had some good Maractus and Sigilyph waves as well.
Victini has 510 EVs total now, I'm glad I gave stat boosters to it on my previous file.
Emolga needs 76 EVs, Simipour needs 182 and Servine needs 152 before being maxed.
Drillbur and Scraggy still haven't been trained yet.

Unfortunately the 10 letter name limit does get in the way. Which is why Apple Bloom is Applebloom instead.
The only really big problem I had was getting a female Minccino out of the Route 5 grotto(on and off for around 4 weeks plus), ended up using an AR to cheat(grottoes always regenerate) to solve that problem. It's something I'm not proud of, but that normal 5% regenerate odds is way too cruel(10-20% would have made more sense).

With Pokemon X and Y's release happening in October, I wish Nintendo Power was still around. Japan has Corocoro, but the U.S. doesn't really have any magazines that can help in coverage now that NP has ended it's run.
We still have the official site, but it would be nice to have a magazine about the games as an option.

The Nidos, eh? That could work.
Also, have you seen the unconfirmed leaks/rumors about a new type?
A couple of sources have popped saying there is a new type and Sylveon is also supposed to be that type(one in April and one in May).
I have a bet going on at Woodus with two other members over Sylveon's type. I'm actually banking on a new type, partially for the heck of it(and partially due to Youtube user Dookieshed, who has a top 5 list of types Sylveon could be). The other two went with normal and multitype(The winner gets to choose something for the others to parody).
Also have a form of self bet going on here, where I'll change my avatar image depending on whether it's a new or existing type(with two avatars to choose from).

Got the idea shortly after the having the idea for the parody to Alejandro(The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song in question was playing at work, I started putting Sylveon in the lyrics while singing under my breath, finally decided to write it).
I'll be submitting it here in a little while in time for tomorrow and before any leaks happen this week. We have E3 soon(which will have a round table discussion over X&Y) and Corocoro coming out. Wanted to make sure I got it up just case Sylveon's typing is revealed this week(which isn't definite, only possible).

Sky battles and horde encounters(Dragon Quest size encounters, well... up to 5 Pokemon anyway).
A few more new Pokemon were revealed and then the Q&A happened:

One of the questions was about the new type. They answered that it was made to help balance the issue with how Dragon is currently a pretty dominant type.
