Pokémon General Discussion

[B~T]

OMG Sinnoh evolutions in Johto Dex =O

Or only some, and I can see why...

Gen 5 new Pokemon in the next movie, I call it now. =P

I actually drew some Gen 5 Pokemon ideas. It is sad that Pokemon doesn't accept ideas...

One of them is a Sea Turtle with a Water/Steel type named "Steelonia", which is Steel+Chelonia. It does not evolve.

I drew the "dragons" of Gen 5, based off wyverns.

The bugs of this Gen are:

Larvagot --> Pupagot --> Flyma

Yes, based off flies.

And I gave an evolution to Farfetch'd, named Diometross, since I want to base it off an Albatross. 

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Only some, the five that evolve with moves.

Those sound pretty cool actually. =)

/EDIT: Ooh, GB Player in Celadon. Sweet =D And if you don't know, the GB Player is a Key Item that allows you to listen to the original music. =)

[Magical Girl Mimi]

And with that said, let's hope that Gen 5 is either tradable with Gen 4, ala R/G/B/Y and G/S/C, or they have a double card thing like a Pal Park or something, if it's a new handheld.

And yeah, and have you noticed a lot of them are level 50 or Under? I believe the only one may be Mewtwo that isn't...

What I wanna know is how you get that ExtremeSpeed Dratini by breeding if nothing you can breed Dratini can learn it. >_>

[Ddude The Insane]

Yeah, I hope Gen 4 and Gen 5 can connect.

I actually kinda hope there isn't a new handheld though.I just got my Dsi, and I don't want to buy a new console >_>

At this point, I'm not totally sure if I'll need my old DS Lite anymore once we get HG/SS....Like he said, pretty much every Pokemon will be available in this Gen.

There's something I don't get-
If Celebii is so dang hard to get, then why is it in the OU Tier?

Speaking of Celebii, again he is right, that guy is not doing anything good for his health...

Oh, and you said all changes made in HG/SS are banned, right? Because It would be kinda a pain to keep track of what not to use.

[Dudebot5000]

Correct, all HG/SS additions are banned for this round of battling.

And I feel bad for Serebii. =/

I fail to see any new consoles being released in the upcoming year, so GenV should be on the DS again. =D

[Ddude The Insane]

Well, there are rumors floating around about a new home console, codenamed "Nintendo Black", coming out in 2012...but I guess that's off-topic.

But in the next tournament, will they be legal?

And yeah, I don't think Serebii is doing anything good for his health...

does that guy even have a job? Or is Serebii.net his job?

You know, even if we can't be sure about the PMD Wii games or Melee Scramble panning out, I just wish nintendo would make a good home-console Pokemon game, like Colluseum or Gale of Darkness.

*needs to start working on competitive team*

I'll be using Heracross, but Serebii is kinda ambigious when it comes to looking at things like locations.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I'd say that they'd be banned until HG/SS comes out here, myself.

I've been going through the Battle Hall last night, and have got my Garchomp to an over 100 streak, after finally getting both Ice and Dragon to ten first(Ice kept haxing me until I put Brick Break on it. ><), switching off battle animations to speed them up. ... I really need BP.

[Ddude The Insane]

I don't really like Garchomp. Or reaally any Ub3rs.

Speaking of which, I hate Cynthia and her Garchomp D=

Battle Hall, huh? A good Battle Hall Pokemon is Electivire.

Electivire

Thunderbolt
Ice Punch/Fire Punch
Brick Break
Earthquake

It works, even without EVs or items. Although those would probably improve your chances...

If you're looking for BP, stay away from the Battle Hall. Other than beating Argenta, there isn't any good way to get BP there. I'd reccomend Battle Factory.

Speaking of which, even though it was a month or so back, I got haxed by Noland >_<

Today I plan to get my Mudkip and finish EV Training Forretress. Either or.

[Dudebot5000]

At tip for Battle Hall Electivire: DO NOT RUN BUG OR GHOST WITHOUT FIRE PUNCH. YOU WILL GET HAXED BY SHEDINJA.

Anyway, currently running the BF for BP. And maybe get a Battle Hall silver. If I feel like it.

[Ddude The Insane]

Yes, I have been haxed by Shedinja before. That Pokemon should be banned from teh hall.

[HQuiff]

Eh, I'm pretty big with the series.   I'm don't battle competitively that much, but I have a competitive team built for the Overused Tier.  If anyone wants to battle me, just ask, and I'll do so.  However, a word of caution:  I play for keeps, and I play by competitive standards, so if you come across me in a battle, watch out.  

Also, if anyone needs help with getting anything in the National Pokedex, just ask, and I'll see how I can help.  I have 486 Pokemon registered as caught in my Pokedex, excluding Mew, Lugia, Ho-oh, Celebi, and Jirachi.  If you need help with that, as well, just ask.  

In general, I believe I'm a "Renaissance Man" of sorts in Pokemon.  I'm well-rounded in all aspects, so I can give advice for pretty much all aspects of the games.  I currently have four Trainer Card stars, and I'm aiming to get my fifth before Platinum comes out.  I wish there wasn't so much haxing at the Battle Tower. >_<

Meanwhile, I estimated Shaymin's US release date to when and where it would be released.  I said that it would be released in the first trimester of February at Toys R Us stores.  Low and behold, it's being released from February 8-14, at Toys R Us.   Also, Regigigas will be released through Toys R Us on March 8 (the day before my birthday ) through March 21, the day before the US release of Platinum Version.  I'm usually good at estimating these kinds of things. Although Nintendo completely floored me when they announced the US release date of Platinum WAY earlier than I had estimated. 

Also, if you need a team rated, or if you need help with constructing a team, you can ask me.  As some might know, I'm good at rating things.   Because I'm so involved at SerebiiForums, I'm constantly immersed in learning about the inner game mechanics of the game, so I know what Pokemon work, and what styles fit them best, and what don't.  I'm a good person to ask this kind of stuff. 

I completed the entire game of Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, and, during Thanksgiving, my brother deleted my file.  I still haven't been able to make it up yet, but it's mainly because I haven't had time.  

Meanwhile, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky is starting to reveal its first details via CoroCoro.  It appears to be a sequel to Explorers of Time and Darkness, and will have a release date in the Spring, more likely around April or May. 

Movie 12 is starting to release some more news, and it is anticipated that Arceus will be revealed in the next issue of CoroCoro, which will be released next month. 

I'm probably going to address the GSC remake issue in another topic.

I own Pokemon Diamond, though I prefer Emerald really. And, actually I think the Region is cooler too. Currently I have in my squad:
1. Golem - 79
2. Metagross - 76
3. Milotic - 44 (I need to level her up)
4. Snorlax - 78 (Hurray!)
5. Exeggutor - 79
6. ? - 56
I hope to have Camerupt there soon once I level him up!

The last one died, so discuss the popular Nintendo series and it's spinoffs here =)

Oh, and guess what! I caught a Latios yesterday! I was just surfing calming looking for some berries to blend for my Feebas, at the time, and what do you know? There pops the legendery himself! Hurray, I say throwing my Masterball at him!

1. That's great! 

I failed at catching Latios...

But at least you have a Wobbuffet in the 3rd Gen to help catch Latios...

2. You do not need to quote the first post. You can just simply type.

3. Please do not double post. You may be used to it in the LMBs, but this is not allowed in MLNO. If you want to add on to your post, use the "modify" button.

HQuiff, maybe we haven't made this clear....

You are NOT allowed to make two posts or more in a row under most circumstances.

Do you EV Train your Pokemon, HQuiff?

[B~T]

And do you have Wi-Fi access?

If so, you could join his Video game tournament. 

[Magical Girl Mimi]

You'll need to use Pokemon Diamond of course, since Emerald can't make use of the DS' Wi-Fi capabilities, but it wouldn't be that hard to migrate the Pokemon provided that you've beaten the Elite Four in Diamond, but the move changes and new Pokemon are very good in Diamond, even if you prefer the region and characters of Emerald(... To be honest, I kinda do as well, but that's partially because of the colour scheme of the player characters in Emerald. =P). Though, you have to try HeartGold and SoulSilver when it comes out. =)

I really don't know how to stop it! And everything explanation Im getting doesn't make sense! Please, can somebody do something for me!  :-[

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Just, when you see you're the last author in a topic, don't psot again, instead edit your post with the EDIT button with the beside it, or look for the to the right of your post if you have quick edit enabled somehow.

[Ddude The Insane]

...

Serebii said he has all of the non-wifi Legendaries in HG/SS listed...

And Celebi isn't on the list...

Although for some reason, in all of the pics he has, Celebi is following him.

Oh come on! To get Rayquaza, you have to have a Groudon and Kyogre from HG/SS. Grrrrrrrr.....

[Magical Girl Mimi]

*Cough* You can trade from HG/SS to D/P/Pt from the time you get the Pokedex at the beginning of the game you know.

And we know one HeartGold player here. And I'm getting SoulSilver, so if you can use Wi-Fi, then either way you can get one(Though if it's mine, I'd rather it just be borrowed. )

[Ddude The Insane]

Well, if there's a cloning glitch in HG/SS...

I'll probably be able to trade with you though.

Yes, "borrowed"...let's just go with that. 

Hm...Serebii found something relating to Celebi...something about Giovani text.
