Okay now you can rant tll the Blue moon about Pokemon but be aware I will not accpet people being off topic in my fourm

^So remind me why you closed the other topic again?

Actually it's the second biggest selling video game franchise. Right after Mario.

Not what I've been informed.

I never said I didn't like 'em. I'm just saying your being a little ignorant saying that GBC versions are the only good bits of the series. Which isn't true.

Yes mein fuhrur.

But anyway, anyone seen the starters for Diamond/Pearl yet?

There's supposed to be a fire monkey thing.

Serebii I think they have 'em all now.

Eh, Kiao. Are you gonna give me the Rp password or not. I've asked you twice!

I've seen some of them, but not the starters.

Can't... wait... 'till... Pokemon Dungeon... @_@

EDIT: WTCBHTNDKJ?!?!? I just saw the starter pokemon... here's a link.

That was what I said >> The SSC quote was my quote

I have to say that everyone is allowed an opinion.
Whether you like it or not they're entitled to it.

I'm not agreeing with you lot. Nor am I disagreeing. I may think that the GSC generation was good. So was the RBY generation. But in no way are all the pokémon past pokédex entry #251, are pointless, useless, and downright stupid.
Not all of them at least.

Bulbasaur = Chickorita = Treecko
Charmander = Cyndaquil = Torchic
Squirtle = Totodile = Mudkip

Sure maybe that is true. They're all the starter pokémon. TRUE. They're all the same type. FALSE. Bulbasaur is a Grass/poison. Mudkip evolves into a Water/ground type. Charmander evolves into a Fire/flying type. Thus they're not the same.

Mew = Celebi = Jirachi.

Mew is pure psychic.
Celebi is Psychic/grass.
Jirachi is Steel/psychic.

They're not the same.

Pokémon haven't been repeated. The only thing that has happened is that they've duped pokémon and changed them ever so slightly from the original ones. They're still not the same.

FIN.

You've been informed incorrectly then ;/

Speaking of RBY/GSC, I'm starting to get back into those generations. Started making teams for them as well D:

If only I could find my Blue. I'd start a new game all my Pokemon are lvl 100 from the Missingno cheat... c:>.<

Must tell me some of your teams! The kanto ones are the best. . .
And they look good too! =D


You have netbattle?

Edit:
Anyone notice that the starter pokemon seems to resemble A bulbasaur?
Hmmm, now only if it had a seed on it's back. And the leaf on it's head. . .reminds me of Chikorita. O.o
And the mouth thing, didn't treeko have that?

Keep in mind that this isn't my RBY team on my GB version of Red/Blue/Yellow. Hell no. I have awful movesets and pokemon in my squad in those versions. Why? Because I played those when they came out; like 7 years ago now. Obviously, I wasn't that good at battling at all back then :/

Anyway here's my first competitive RBY team.

Gengar
-Explosion
-Hypnosis
-Mega Drain
-Thunderbolt

Normal/fighting resist and puts stuff to sleep. Go's boom on counters that switch in.

Exeggutor
- Explosion
- Stun Spore
- Psychic
- Sleep Powder

Loves switching into Earthquakes that do absolutely nothing to him. Also one of my rock resists. He also puts stuff to sleep and paralyzes them. If a pogey switches into sleep, and then switches out (because it is a sleep and will die if it stays in), then I stun spore and paralyze the switch in.

Snorlax
-Body Slam
-Earthquake
-Hyper Beam
-Self Destruct

Hits stuff hard before blowing up on them :D

Rhydon
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Substitute

Because he looks better than Golem. Rhydon is so awesome. Normal/Rock/flying resist.

Starmie
- Blizzard
- Recover
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt

Sex. Paralyzes things and sweeps. Special sweeper.

Tauros
- Blizzard
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Hyper Beam

Awesome late game sweeper. One of the best in RBY.

End of my RBY team.

Instead of selfdestruct, use explosion. It's more powerful, will still always hit, and has exactly the same PP.

Uh...No.

Snorlax does not learn explosion. Only self destruct.

I believe that after 151, the Pokemon started to lose their flair and originality. It's more apparent that the new Pokemon are just there to grab money. 90% of the ones after 151 are just... gag-worthy. I don't know; as soon as I saw Merrill introduced, it didn't seem so good... :< I lost my Red, Blue, and Yellow versions a while ago, but I remember hauling some ass early in the franchise. The weakness in the Pokemon series showed, and Digimon swooped in and took my attention.

I think some of the new ones are fine...such as:
Blaziken
Latios/Latias
Rayquaza
Regice
some of the new ones may not be original, but some are awesome looking...

I agree.

And although the first generation is my fave, and always will be, the battling metagame at this stage in time is the best it has ever been. So much strategy and prediction is needed to beat worthy opponents now. There are so many roles pokemon play; for example;
-physical sweeper
-special sweeper
-physical wall/sponge
-special wall/sponge
-mixed sweeper
-rapid spinner (to get rid of spikes)
-spiker
-phazer/hazer (get rid of raises in stats-moves like roar, whirlwind and haze)
-status absorber/taker/sleep talker (takes status for the team)
-tank (think "snorlax"-good special wall and good attacker)

And yeah. So you can see how diverse the metagame is nowadays. That is why I'm still a fan of pokemon after all these years.

And with all this EV/IV training, it makes it that much harder to get a true "powerhouse" pokemon.....(didn't stop me from making a "powerhouse" mewtwo)

My brother's EV training almost all his new Pokemon. He EV trained his Jirachi SA and SD. he can beat some of my 20 lvl higher pokemon in one shot.

Haha...as does my metagross at Lv:100 battle tower!!! Hes on level 80 when i firs started battle tower....now he's level: 94...and still kickin BUTT!!!!!!! Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Good boy! :D

*Pats head*

I'm playing my leaf-green now, I just bought one a day ago. It's slightly worse than the origional. But, I like it a lot. They succeded with a good remake :)

And, does anyone rememeber a false cheat in R/B/Y where you go to Vermillion, and go to the dock. Then you surf over to the the right and find a truck...that you use strengh on

THE MEW THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY THERE DOES NOT EXIST!!!! The truck does though..and you don't have to go to vermillion...instead you have to lose on the SS Anne after you get the HM...then wait till you get surf, then go there act like you are getting on the ship, but instead surf right and you will find it....

...Wow. I thought you disliked Pokemon. That topic about the spam made me think that, but I guess I was wrong. o.o

Well, I have Pokemon Yellow, Crystal, Ruby, R/S Pinball, Emerald, FireRed, Pokemon Coloseum, and Pokemon XD.

....yeeeeah. I've liked Pokemon since I was 3. It still hasn't really rubbed off. =>>=

EDIT: And while you're on the topic of Mew, look at this.

Yeah I was just going to post that ;/

Beat you to it, then. Bwahaha. >:D

I can't wait to try it, considering I have Yellow Version now.

Nope :D

Pokemon's pretty cool, after looknig at it through Ryan's advice

*Jay's.

Don't worry, you're not the only person to have accused me of being Ryan.

No, I mean ryan.

When he was here, he talked me into pokemon.

Actually you mean "Ryan" with a capital R :P

Anyhow, I'm starting to prefer the simplicity of the GSC battling era than advance. I keep making great teams on advance yet after about 10 battles, I end up winning like 8/10 which isn't good enough.

Advance annoys me because there are so many pokemon to counter, as well as movesets, that it's impossible to make a perfect team :/

I'm geussing that's the point of it. We needn't need a pokemon team, cause it triggers us to want to make a better one, a stronger team. When we find that team is bad, we want to make a stronger one to counter the team that defeated it. And so on.



The closest I've seen anyone get in Netbattle is 98% but that's because of the ledgendaries. . .D;

...
I'll shut up now.

I never find a slot on my team to take time away to raise an Eevee XD

I can suggest better movesets for those of you whom have posted teams if you want D:

I'm curious. Moveset me.

Go ahead. *Updates post* :D

SilentStrike;

Well that took much longer than I imagined it would :(

Would you believe me if I said I had the same team, in Ruby and Sapphire. T.T
just not the names.
X_X

Going to post my team soon. Well atleast my netbattle one. :3

Thanks, Jay.

Can you rate my Gyarados as well?
