The OFFICIAL Pokemon thread ver 2.5

[po_pimpus]

Aww man, the Black & White jokes are just gonna keep escalating from here out…

I was hoping GameFreak would give us another year or two with the current gen, but seeing as how there are some major oversights in the metagame (STEALTH ROCK, Technician/Bullet Punch Scizor, STEALTH ROCK), I hope they do something about them in the next gen.

Fire types(Flareon ESPECIALLY) need love too, GameFreak!

Oh yeah, current team in SoulSilver:

Dragonite
Tyranitar
Slowking
Heracross
Magneton

My main five, with the sixth man constantly rotated between
Gyrados/Togekiss/Magmar/HM Slave according to needs

[Magnifico]

I ran a mixed sweeper. Parahax is a set I never liked to begin with.

Movelist was: Air Slash, Nasty Plot, Aura Sphere, Roost. 252HP/152 SpA/104 Spe.

That’s not a mixed sweeper, mixed sweeper means you’re running both physical and special attacks

Anyway I think the main reason not to use flinch Togekiss these days is because Jirachi does it better (hate that pokemon)

[Ephidel]

I’ve ran into a BP Togekiss player, it’s still one of the more reliable ones in the metagame that can pass over a NP.

Jirachi also resist S/R, and with so many heavy hitters in this game now Togekiss can be exploited by powerful attacks (factoring S/R dmg)

[doujinshi_2001]

BP/NP kiss is interesting. it may be feasible to run one with a BP jolteon and pass the subs and +2 sp. atk to who resists a lot of attacks like say…empoleon. latias could work well too, to compliment jolteon’s ground weakness.

very interesting!

Woops! Yeah I knew what mixed was, thanks anyway.

Question for you guys, has HG/SS changed much in the way of movelists like platinum did? Was gonna try some stuff out in Shoddy once I set it up again. Just want a heads up on what to expect.

[RoninChaos]

Is there anyway I can get my son’s pokemon from Fire red into SS?

And when will the communication center open up? We just started the game, but he wants some pokemon from our copy of diamond.

[spudlyff8fan]

Anybody feel like battling tonight?

Got a crazy team I wanna test out.

Once you get to Fuchsia City (somewhat late in the game), you can use Pal Park to transfer Pokemon over from GBA games to DS games.

The comm center should be open by the time you get to the first gym

[Guru]

:wtf:

So you’ve just gotta go right to that, huh?

If this was Pokemon White, you’d be like “oh, they’re the best HM CEOs” or some shit.

Nah, I would say they’re the HM Massas.

[DancemanLeo]

Hey guys, its my second day with the game and i wanted to see if anybody could do a quick trade/tradeback with my kadabra. and depending on when you read this i may also have a haunter. Thanks.

[Gain]

Current team: T-Tar, Glisgor, Magnezone, Mamoswine, Heatran, Torterra

Working on: Shaymin, Milotic (or Kingdra), Zapdos, Blissey, Forretress, Infernape

no movesets solidified atm, but you can probably imagine each of their profiles.

not the best teams, but work on the people i plays.

[tolore]

I have like 40ish bred pokemon done, once the semester end I’ll probably be up for some battling!

[Sensei_Rouzu]

I leak pics http://www.nintendoeverything.com/36842/

[Syke1]

Whoa! Battle backgrounds look great. I hope DPP menus return tbh. And that girl’s hair is retarded

[odin]

i cannot wait… just cant

[doujinshi_2001]

i hope there’s a ghost/fighting type so it won’t be weak to pursuit and can block rapid spin

[Ephidel]

I hope they start with psychic, fighting, dark as choice of starters. Instead of the usual fire, grass, water choices.

[white_shadow]

I’m half excited half not. I still think they are half-assing their graphical capabilities. I say this because [media=youtube]_UCWJtxSTYw&feature=related"[/media] pretty much proves what the DS is capable in that regard.

At first I gleaned over their simplification as a style choice, but with a 5th generation on a handheld that they’ve mastered programming for years now, one would think they’d have full animations with large scale backgrounds by now.

Sorry, just have to keep it real.

If Gen V puts the total number of Pokemon at ~600, that’s more than three times the number of monsters that were in DQM Joker (and around 10% of those were palette swaps)… They could recycle assets from PBR to cut down on how long it takes to produce, but would it even all fit on a DS card?

The DS cartridge can hold up to 4 Gigabytes of data, considering the fact that N64 managed to have fully 3D RPGs with 256-512 Megs, I think DS is more than capable of having a 35 hour RPG with a few hundred Pokemon.
