The OFFICIAL Pokemon thread ver 2.5

Quick question:
can you wifi against a platinum cart with D/P?

i’m curious also. i might get back into pokemon if i can. :clown:

I assume you mean Arceus. I could trade both to you. They’re both hacked though.

Yes. It was the same for the previous three generations.

I hope so. You were one of my toughest competitors!

lol thanks. SFHD Remix and SFIV has consumed me of late. :sweat:

we’ll see.:nunchuck:

i’ll have to knock off some ring rust…ok, LOTS of ring rust! I have to get updated on any drastic trends, due to Platinum… :sad:

Either way, my friend code’s: 4081-2834-7870

I’ll be sure to update the list later when I’m not at work.

nah guru. i’m a legit player

Well there hasn’t been an official event for Arceus (yet), so the only way to get it is through Action Replay.

i kno, i’m waiting for those pokes to be made availible

Maaaaaaaaaaan, I’ve been out the pokemon loop, haven’t TOUCHED my DS in ages…if you guys are up for some battles and what not, pm me so we can boogie. I still need to get my garchomp up to spec…mreh, thats gonna take some time…

speaking of garchomp he’s still banned shakes head thought he’d be back to OU by now

…whhhaaattttt the fuckkkkkkk…

…since when was he banned?! :confused:

It still has Sand Veil and a T-Wave resist, so it still doesn’t surprise me.

Has there been a US event for the Rotom changing room?

So does Sandslash…

Sandslash doesn’t have STAB Outrage, 394 attack and over 300 speed.

lol, i remember when playing Diamond EVERYBODY would have a Garchomp. lame

i don’t remember the exact time but its been in for a while now.

yup true but in the uber metagame it’s just very hard to utilize him well without a scarf or something, and to set up a sandstorm in the uber metagame is not so advantageous instead of putting something like kygore or groudon there.

garchomp can still be a threat in Uber but a lot of other dragons outclass him there, so he isn’t used particualry much.

Same here…:bluu:

See my post on the previous page.

I caught a shiny Unown ‘!’ early this morning. :bgrin: I think I’m going to trade it away though. We’ll see…

Garchomp ain’t coming back…and if he is won’t be until we have something more broken than he was :lol:

He was banned around the time Platinum came out in Japan, so last September-ish. Even though the Smogon powers-that-be were considering banning him long before that. He’s just too beastly even by the 600 stat club standards. Kinda sucks for people that legitimately liked him.

I think that actually had something to do with it. Garchomp was so strong and on so many teams that people were forced to have at least two Garchomp-counters on their squad at any given time whether they wanted to or not, and not many really exist. Part of the intent of the ban as I understand it was to make it so people would actually have some freedom when making a team.

I don’t think he’s coming off the ban list any time soon, but the tiers have been fluctuating a lot lately. Marowak for example was firmly BL pretty much since R/S/E, but now it’s down to NU despite not really changing at all in the past two generations because people have concluded that its 60-base HP is just too low to compete in the big leagues despite its huge attack power. It’s just weird how it went from a candidate for standard play to the bottom of the barrel in the span of few months, but we might see him rise again if people continue to play him and dominate the lower tiers. Latias is another one - she was Uber since the day she was introduced in 2004 but is now finally being allowed in OU as of a few months ago because their are a bunch of good counters for her even in standard.

Yeah everyone was running SkarmBlissCressChomp.

It was ridiculous. I’m happy it was banished to ubers.
