Pokémon General Discussion

[B~T]

I have a Shiny Machoke. I was really disappointed when it was a Calm nature.
In Emerald, I have a Shiny Sandshrew. It is a Rash one.

In my previous Diamond version, I have two shinies. One is a Weepinbell (Rash), while the other is a Graveler (Bold). I'm not too sure if I have a third though.

Ah.

Lately I've only been planting berries and trading on the GTS for IDs, hoping I'll get lucky and win the ID Lotto again.

@Renegade: You know how to EV train then?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

1. I should probably start checking that again...

2. There was a tutorial back in the topic, I think I put the links in the first post...

[The Host]

Ah.

Lately I've only been planting berries and trading on the GTS for IDs, hoping I'll get lucky and win the ID Lotto again.

@Renegade: You know how to EV train then?

B~T taught me, and I also checked out GameFaqs for more help. And so far it's done wonders for me... Electivire now has 214 atk EVs, which means I can begin to train him in both atk and speed.
I need to plant more berries for removing EVs... Electivire may still have EVs on defence, which means that I can't complete his training yet >< (i did not realise how many defence EVs were on him...)
In good news, Leafeon has the same amount of defence stats naturally as Scisor has atk right? I haven't EV trained Leafeon, but it has great defences...

[B~T]

Unfortunately, many competitive Leafeon have the Physical Sweeper EV spread.

Even though Leafeon has good defenses, its typing hinders its walling capabilities; Grass has 5 weaknesses to other types.

It can also be a Baton Passer with:
Jolly -- Leftovers 
132 HP/160 Atck/216 Speed
 - Leaf Blade
 - Swords Dance
 - Baton Pass
 - Roar

Leaf Blade is the one and only STAB move here, and can be boosted with Swords Dance. You can also Baton Pass Swords Dance to a Physical Sweeper. Roar can keep Phazers out of bay which will cancel out your Swords Dance.

Credit to Smogon for moveset, since I really don't know Leafeon that well.

=D WOOOOOOOOT!!! =D

I knew it, but the names are... Different. Ah well. I guess it could make sense...(After all, Ho-Oh's tower was the one that stayed up and it revived the 3 legendary beasts, and Lugia's tower burned down, which made the 3 beasts die in the first place... Though, that's just speculation on my part.) But this is awesome news =D

[The Truth]

yay! G/S/C was even better than Plat, in my opinion.

[Ddude The Insane]

Yes! And now,i must prepare to FINALLY HAVE WI-FI COMPATIBILTY!!! Still,i estimate at best we will be getting these next February.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

At best Feb of next year, at worst, April or May. *Sighs* Right about now would be a good time for a Time Travel Machine to be released... =P

/EDIT: Hey, I just realized something. Look at Notched Ear Pichu and then look at the Manga Green, and compare the ear and Green's hair at the bottom... 0_o Interesting huh?

[Ddude The Insane]

I just realized a little detail,this means that there are games from all 4 reigons where you can choose a boy OR girl character. Man,now i want to play my Silver Version...

So,whcih are you guys goin' for,HeartGold or SoulSilver? I am undecided....Probably Gonna give into the urge for Ho-oh,after all,i will be able to trade on the GTS. I know i sound like i know this,but considering the Dsi will hav ebeen out for nearly a year,you think they will have implemented a WPA security setting for the Pokemon wi-fi. Whcih means i can use Mystery Gift too......*girl-like scream*.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Meh, I may go for SoulSilver... Since, because it's part of the awesomeness of the originals, I doubt they'd take out Lugia from HeartGold, and vice versa for Ho-Oh.

And, with this, Kanto's been in every single Generation so far. =P

[Ddude The Insane]

I am wondering what my best flying type choice would be....and how a about Fire? I guess i should wait until they release more info on it.

EDIT:Here's more on the release time:

HeartGold and SoulSilver will be released in Japan this fall, possibly on or near Nov. 21, the 10th anniversary of the original release of their namesakes. International releases will likely come in mid-2010.

 

[Magical Girl Mimi]

September's kinda a little more likely with the starter figures, but who knows... We'll find out more info hopefully within the next few weeks.

[Dudebot5000]

EPIC W00TNESS!!! =D

I may go for the Gold, because I've got the Heart to do it. Or I might fall to Silver for a lack of Soul. I don't know yet. XD

And I can wait for 2010. It'll take that long for me to get around to beating Plat, anyway. =P

[Magical Girl Mimi]

It'll take you a year to finish Plat? =P

[Ddude The Insane]

No,it'll take him a year to figure out how to start the game up=jk

Anyone have suggestions for a Heracross user? Heracrosss CANNOT be passed up on,with the moveset and Attack that he has,he has awful Sp.Attack,but i don't mind cuz he doesn't level up to learn any special moves.

[Dudebot5000]

It'll take me a year to get through all the EV training for my team. =P

[Ddude The Insane]

Really? So that's how long it takes......

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Nah, I could probably get it done by the end of the month if I actually push to complete it... First things first is getting the Pokemon though, and the Power items... Pokerus is easy with half my PC infected with it. =P

[Dudebot5000]

That's cause I'm lazy, mata. =P
