Any of you guys get the Mew for HeartGold and SoulSilver from Nintendo Wi-Fi today?
^I have mine. It’s a timid nature.
I don’t care though.
Anybody watching Pokemon Best Wishes? I’m currently at D/P 181 (god Imma miss this show when it ends :sad:) and will start BW afterwards.
Not yet, I’ve been playing the games more. I intend to eventually.
Been watching the movies thanks to 4chan streams. Just finished the Giratina one yesterday.
So I read on smogon encourage negates life orb recoil when an encourage boosted move is used. So basically you are using a move with a x1.69 boost with no drawback other than not being able to cause secondary effects.
Hihidaruma is pleased. Feraligatr would be pleased if it were able to get ice punch.
Can’t you breed Ice Punch onto Feraligatr?
It has to be first confirmed that female versions of Dream World Feraligatr exist to be “legal.”
Feraligatr w/out ice punch is all bad 
I could live with an Encourage Rockslide/Ice Fang, but that’s just me.
Icepunch would be perfect, of course.
Takeshi Shudo passes away!
Minky Momo/Pokémon Writer Takeshi Shudo Passes Away - Anime News Network
:shake::sad::sad:
R.I.P.
^^Yeah, it’s sad. He hadn’t worked on the anime for a long time (I think ep 244 was his last one, near the end of Johto), but he gave us a lot of classics and will be missed.
On another note, the guy who leaked the Black and White starter evos from CoroCoro last September (you know, the ones where the naysayers were like “LOL faek” and they turned out to be real) got arrested for it. The Pokemon Company/Nintendo/whoever called for the investigation were apparently really ticked at the guy for revealing them two weeks early just like the whole Pokebeach/Serebii sprite link fiasco. Lesson learned: Pokemon copyright is serious business.
It is pretty serious though, it amounts to corporate espionage when one goes about leaking things like final evos that early.
The goal of the Teams through the years (possible B/W spoilers):
I’m still about to catch a Mewtwo, but I’m having trouble with making it Anti-Kyogre.
It’ll be either Timid or Modest depending on which Choice Item I’ll use.
Now that I think about it, I probably would prefer Timid.
I’ve been thinking about Pokémon B/W lately and I’ve watched a lot of B/W vids on YouTube. I’ve also been thinking about the Rotom forms. They were some of my favourite Pokémon although only Rotom’s regular form was usable on wifi. Now, all forms are usable on wifi but the Rotom forms have undergone a big change. They all have lost their part Ghost typing (and kept Levitate) and gain the type matching their unique move. The loss of the Ghost typing means they’re no longer one of, if not THE best rapid spin blockers in the game. They’ve lost immunity to Normal and Fighting moves, most notably Explosion even though it’s been weakened in Gen 5. However, don’t count them out yet!
Rotom-W (Electric/Water)
Easily the best of the five forms. With only one weakness (Grass) it will play like a better Lanturn. STAB on Hydro Pump is a welcome plus. :tup:
Rotom-H (Electric/Fire)
One of the greatest Scizor counters just got better. Now it sports a 4x resistance to Bullet Punch in addition to the 2x resistance to U-Turn/Bug Bite. :woot:
Rotom-F (Electric/Ice)
I can see this on Hail teams. Great offensive typing; bad defensive typing. It’s the only Pokémon to get STAB on BoltBeam AND resist it! Since it doesn’t learn Ice Beam maybe I should call it “BoltBlizz” or “Blizzbolt” or “Thunderzzard” 
Rotom-M (Electric/Grass)
I don’t know what to say. I’m sure Water/Rock/Ground Pokémon won’t like taking a STAB Leaf Storm. I do know that this form (and the others) are better than…
Rotom-S (Electric/Flying)
Great, a part Flying type with Levitate. OMG DOUBLE IMMUNITY TO GROUND! :wtf:
For even further trolling, if Rotom-S is Baton-Passed Magnet Rise and it’s holding a Balloon it will have a quadruple immunity to Ground moves! :looney:
I think that’s the end for me as far as G4 goes, I haven’t battled in months in anticipation for the next pokemon game. I haven’t seen anything about pokemon for sometime now that I think about it. To me that’s actually good because getting adjusted to G5 will be that much easier. I really wanna get my hands on that Drought Ninetails.
For me it’s been the lack of options regarding online play. With my school blocking Shoddy and other P2P programs and my friend not letting me piggyback off his Internet I have no way of playing online until next month when I get home. :bluu:
I need six of these.
Official English names on Monday. I wonder if they ever caught wind of the “smugleaf” meme though.
Rotom-S is so awesome that if it’s holding an Iron Ball it only takes neutral damage from Ground attacks instead of 2x the damage.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve never heard of that meme. (time to go on Google)
