Anyone want a battle? I have a new Salmence that needs to be tested out...

Love to, but I have no Wi-fi + an essay to do.

Meh, I need a battle I've got 2 EV trained Pokemon I want to test out??

[how solid]

I need someone to breed me a Mawile/Mawile egg. I'm trying to do something different with my SS team, just for the early parts of the game.

Mawile is pretty weak even early on.

Just sayin.


Also,Peace,Shoddy is your friend for testing things.

Yeah I know, I'm just using a team of my favourites really. Too lazy to EV train and I'm bored of the usual setup.

It's more fun with you guys though...

Just saw the new Pokemon, and I gotta say I'm not liking them too much. They seem so uninspired. The zebra one is too much like Girafarig, the crocodile one and the replacement pidgey look waaaaay too much like their real-world inspirations, and the chinchilla and gear Pokemon make it seem like after a long night and a trashcan full of rejected ideas the Pokemon creators just said "screw it" and added them. The whole "The Pokemon creators made 1000 Pokemon originally" rumor seems even more ridiculous after seeing these.

Sometimes I wish Gamefreak would just stop making new Pokemon and start focusing on making better games. It's been obvious for a while now that they don't exactly have a lot of ideas for Pokemon left.

Let's see more Pokemon before we pass judgement.

[Chloe Mayo]

I'm not saying this whole generation is going to be bad, I'm saying that these recently released Pokemon aren't very good. I think I can pass judgment on them considering I've already seen them, no?

Now that isn't fair, because people have been saying for ages ''oh the gen 1 pokemon were awesome, I like how they were all inspired by animals and isn't that cool'', and now as soon as Gamefreak go back to making animal based pokemon designs suddenly it's uninspired?

We're now in the 5th generation, with more than 500 Pokemon. Making Pokemon in the 5th generation that are very similar to their animal inspirations is indeed uninspired. If, say, Squirtle or Rattata were never in the 1st Generation, but were instead in the 5th, I would be saying the exact same thing about them. Totodile was obviously inspired by a crocodile, but it looked more like a Pokemon than a crocodile. This Meguroko looks far too much like a crocodile imo, and not nearly enough like a Pokemon. Oh, sure, it has obvious Pokemon features, but those features aren't as drastic as being blue and red and standing on it's hind legs, features that made Totodile look like a Pokemon.

And for the record, I've never, ever heard someone say the first generation Pokemon were cool solely because, or even partially because, they looked like animals.

HAHAHAHAH Snorlax vs Snorlax. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/539936
If someone can make an animated avatar of the pimped snorlax dancing I would be ever so grateful. HAHAHAHA.

A bit more on the serious side. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/540031

I've decided to start a team that I would pick if I was a gym leader and the team I have picked will send any Stop Having Fun Guy insane... all of them are a fire-type.
They currently are:
Charizard
Magmar
Slugma
Ponyta
Vulpix
Eevee (soon to be a flareon)

It might have a severe weakness to rock but I don't care (besides, my charizard has a little surprise for any rock type, last word is break...). If the Stop Having Fun Guys don't like it, well they can...erm...do something...

Anyway, if you were a gym leader, what type and pokemon would you pick?

Water.

Lanturn(probably my favorite Pokemon ever)
Kingdra
Kabutops
Ludicolo
Vaporeon
Qwilfish

Pretty strong offensive team if Rain is used,though Vaporeon would be limited to setting up rain and maybe wish passing to Kingdra/Lanturn so they can do more..just threw that in because I like Vaporeon.

Maybe a Toxicroak over Qwilfish,he fits in with the theme of rain-abusing Pokemon quite well,and would help round the team out a bit better defensively.

Problem: Toxicrak is Poison/Dark... isn't it?
The team is still great though even without the toxicroak, just get the quilfish to use poison spikes and toxic to really hurt any non-steel types and surf, hydro pump and thunder to mop up the rest. Kingdra is also a good choice due to it only having one weakness and the Vaporeon is a very good choice (have you seen how high some of it's stats go at a high level?) and can cause quite a shock when it comes out with something like psychic or energy ball (via breeding... well, i'm sure eevee can get those from it's parents...). Lantern is also good as it has the potential to take out most of the starters (apart from the grass types).

My point with Toxicroak was that his ability(Dry Skin) lets him get 12.5% of his health back in the rain,so he kind of stays with the rain theme.

And with Leftovers he almost gets free subsitutes,only losing 6% of his health every time he uses one.

He's Poison/Fighting,not Poison/Dark.

Would be something like:

Lanturn/Damp Rock - Rain Dance / Hydro Pump(Surf) / Thunder / Thunder Wave(Ice Beam)

Kabutops/Life Orb - Stone Edge / Waterfall / Aqua Jet / Return

Toxicroak/Leftovers - Subsitute / Focus Punch / svcker Punch / Stone Edge

Vaporeon/Damp Rock - Wish / Protect / Surf / Rain Dance

Kingdra/Life Orb - Rain Dance / Draco Meteor / Outrage / Waterfall

Ludicolo/Life Orb - Surf / Energy Ball / Ice Beam / Rain Dance

Didn't include EV's because I'm lazy and they should be obvious.

[Andres Lechuga]

Close enough

Would be something like:

Lanturn/Damp Rock - Rain Dance / Hydro Pump(Surf) / Thunder / Thunder Wave(Ice Beam)

Kabutops/Life Orb - Stone Edge / Waterfall / Aqua Jet / Return

Toxicroak/Leftovers - Subsitute / Focus Punch / svcker Punch / Stone Edge

Vaporeon/Damp Rock - Wish / Protect / Surf / Rain Dance

Kingdra/Life Orb - Rain Dance / Draco Meteor / Outrage / Waterfall

Ludicolo/Life Orb - Surf / Energy Ball / Ice Beam / Rain Dance

Didn't include EV's because I'm lazy and they should be obvious.

Won't the pokemon be severely hurt by all of those life orbs or is there an abiliy each of them have to remove the health loss? I'm guessing that is why vaporeon has wish? Still a very good team though if you can keep it away from pokemon with thunder. To counter that, you could give Toxicroak earthquake which is always useful. You could also replace the leftovers toxicroak has with black sludge (well, i'm sure that is what it is called) as it also benefits from the fact that if the opponent trys to steal them, they will be hurt instead of healed if they are not a poison type.

First question:Being a rain team,being hit is rarely an issue unless you can't OHKO your target..and with all the power the Pokemon with Life Orb have that should rarely be an issue.

Expert Belt would work on Ludicolo since he hits a lot of things SE..but meh.

Second question/suggestion:Black Sludge has it's bad points too...if the enemy tricks you and steals your item they're free to trick it onto another of your Pokemon.

Is black and white going to be for the 3DS? If so I'm pissed.

[Louise Andrew]

It's gonna have 3DS support yes. But it's gonna be playable on both systems.

Alright, awesome. Can't wait then :celebration:

I just purchased a DS light from my cousin and soulsilver direct from target and I'm really enjoying the game so far.

Better be using the alligator. You aren't playing the game right if you chose a different starter.

To answer the question asked a while back, I'd have to go with a dark type gym team.

-Absol
-Drapion
-Tyranitar
-Houndoom
-Honchcrow
-Spiritomb

[Shianne Donato]

I'd totally be a fighting GYm Leader
