Pokémon General Discussion

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I've got, like, over 900.

*Hides Action Replay*

Ugh.  I don't like people who like Action Replays.  

I stick to cloning, myself.  Although I could have that many if I wanted to (and if I had the time).

It could be good if you didn't have anyone who plays near you, no way to get events or stuff, and just stuck to stuff like events or such... Though, I'm anti-AR in DS cases, mostly because I had a run-in with an ARer on MKDS that hacked up one of the inaccessible Battle stages and sent me through a wall >_>

*Makes note about Mar. 22*

Perhaps it can cover every type, but more than half of those guys aren't meant to be at a truly competitive level.  Thus, it's not exactly threatening.  

Also, the news has been out for awhile.  

Do you have Wi-Fi?  If so, are you up for a three on three battle, in the OU Tier? 

They can totally compete.If you're so tough,come battle me!

I would accept your challenge but:
#1-I plan to not play until game is released.
#2-I am at the start of the gam after new gaming,although i could beat it pretty quick,I have been playing for like 6 years.
#3-I don't have the right computer security.

They can compete, but there are better choices, as he could tell you. And what EVs would you put in each stat? What moves would you get? Do you factor in STAB? 3 Pokemon theoretically could cover the types those do with different moves

[Ddude The Insane]

Never heard of EV or STAB-probably an acronym i guess.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

EV: Effort Value
STAB: Same Type Attack Bonus.

If you don't know even those, well, let's say you'll want to read up on those before you go into the competitive circuit.

^Primarily the reason why I'll get my butt handed to me. =P

Dude,i have like 10 guidebooks,if it was in there i would know.i just don't do tournements.

Do you know what IVs are? If you don't, you'll never be a successful battler.

I doubt they'd be in guidebooks Look at online stuff for stuff like this, since it's hidden from the players.

Ummmmmmmmm......Interest value?

*buzz* IVs stans for Individual Values. They are values which affect all the Pokemon's stats. The more IVs, the more powerful the stat. IVs range from 0-31. If I want a powerful Alakazam, I want it to have 31 IVs on SpAttack or Speed (best ones are Timid and Modest), a nature that increases Sp.Attack or Speed, and 252 EVs in both stats. On serebii.net (CLICK), there is an IV calculator for Pokemon.

And did you know that a Pokemon's nature determines which stat grows better and which stat is worser? If so, give 3 examples of natures and list which stat it benefits and which stats it hinders. Like Blade said, these important skills in battling don't come in Guidebooks. They may hint it out, but not reveal it.

=:EDIT- Did I forget to mention that I caught a Modest Abra? It came with Synchronize as well! But I haven't determined its IVs.

[Ddude The Insane]

I learned that in Bulbapedia a bit ago,actually.I looked up evrything on Bulbapedia,and i was pretty impressed by the whole concept.

Pokemon Catch of the Day:

A Timid Staryu with PERFECT 31 IVs on Speed, along with the Ability Natural Cure.

[Ddude The Insane]

Nice.

I took the low road  and used my AR to get a Shaymin,to trade to platinum with my friend's DS.

If i didn't have him,i would have no one to trade with.

Unfortunately, only certain Shaymin have the ability to activate the special effect of the special item in Platinum... =/ At least; from what I've heard.

Oh yes, what's the status on the Shaymins?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Ah, ok... It would be nice to have a Shaymin, but I guess it's not needed if it can't be obtained...

[Ddude The Insane]

i will play you when i geet Plat.

I can't find wi-fi,so i am gonna try nintendowifi.com.

I swear to you,i will beat you!

[Ddude The Insane]

To things.

my dad won't change security type for me to battle you ,and i rarely USE the AR,i used to,but not anymore.
