Pokemon General

Not joking, if pokemon were real Shuckle would probably be my starter. Acupressure + Highest base defenses in the game

 

Duh
Best starter is Nincada. It evolves fast and gives you 2 pokemon from 1
Also, I hate Shedinja on all Mistery Dungeon games :'<

 

uh that kid wants his shuckle back. trust me go talk to him and he will ask for it back. >.< i felt like such an ass so i gave it back to him, besides a found another in a rock shortly after.

 

Am I one of the few people who liked the Mystery Dungeon games? I have a personal bias towards rogue-likes, but I personally enjoyed most of the Mystery Dungeon games. I actually liked the whole guild idea, and Gears of Time (or whatever the fuck it was called) gave me a story I was actually able to give two of my precious shits about. I spent way too much of my life trying to find Mew in the gameboy advance games as well XD (BUT I GOT IT IN THE END, AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT).

 

You'll find getting legit legendaries is much easier in the 4th, I got a 10th Anniversary Mews for trading one EV trained Scizor (Now I have two c:)

 

in pokemon hg i just recently caught a ho oh with a quick ball and now a mewtwo with a quick ball
not sure what to use my master ball now...

 

Don't, master balls make pokemon look bad because of how much they are Pokegen'd

 

pokegen'd?
maybe ill save it for that elusive shiny legendary ill find

 

Pokegen is a cheating tool some use to create Pokemon to whatever their heart desires but stays in the game limit. Which is why the site pokecheck.org exist. (To check if a traded pokemon is hacked or give away something of your own without actually losing it)

 

oh yea i tried to do that but i failed... :(
lets make a list of all the shinies we've ever gotton be it for a second (from trading) to one you keep forever
i got
parasect
growlithe > arcanine
onix > steelix
poliwag > poliwirl
kyogre
mightyena
electrode
gyrados
as much as i remember thats it

 

Getting shinies isn't too hard, if you know what you're doing. :P
In the earlier gens, anyway...

 

not true.. in gen 5 it is the easiest it has ever been for getting shinies as the matsuda method has been set down to roughly 1 in 2100ish rather then 1 in 4200ish (i think) and 1 in 8200 in gen 2-3 (excluding hg and ss). the only immediate shiny that is easiest to get is gyrados from hg/ss/g/s or event legendaries

 

Pokemon is running out of ideas.
*Cough* THEY MADE GARBAGE INTO A POKEMON! LITERALLY! *Cough*

 

I don't think they're running out of ideas. More likely they've realised that people will still continue to be attracted to Pokemon for the same reasons, and the increased weirdness of said Pokemon will only add to that.

TBH, people don't often give Pokemon the credit it deserves as a solid RPG with hell-hardened mechanics. Certainly, they seem to have made things a little 'softer' in more recent versions, but lets just take a quick glance at what it has:
Let's just look at 2nd gen, where it really comes into its own. Not only do we have the foundation from 1st gen, but we have a large set of new things which you can do to achieve greater and greater results with your Pokemon, greatly rewarding the effort you put into both the act of training and the planning behind it. We have the Pokerus providing us with yet another fantastic reach goal, we have long breeding chains, we have post-conditional evolution chains, we have gender breeding (important, as females have lower attack but more balance overall), we have Apricorns and the special balls created with them, which alone manage to turn the act of Pokemon hunting into an entirely new game. This is awesome stuff, guys.

 

You may want to edit that?

 

Yep, computer being silly. :P

 

DAMN YOU IPAD!
DAMN YOU APPLE!
I'll make a new rant later.
In place of rant, please pretend to read the blank area below this post.

 

That's actually pretty creative to release atleast 100 new pokemon every gen, and if you think it isn't then they had no ideas from the start of the franchise.
"OMGA DEY ACTUALLY MADE A POKEBALLL POKEMON NO IDEAZ"

 

people who think they are running out of ideas, i hate you please die http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7PKAnaHlis they are not running out of new ideas for there will always be more objects to base it pokemon on.
now things to vent my hatred on list
list of 12 ugliest stupidest crappiest new pokemon, this person needs to me murdered in their sleep
http://www.toplessrobot.com/2011/03/the_12_uglieststupidestcrappiest_new_pokemon.php
puts volcarona on the list, elektross and genesect hate rays
didnt even bother to read...
http://bagusandryan.com/pokemon-genartion-v-what-a-garbage
more horrible crap haters to come

lol

 

Well most of the gen V pokes are OK but some are pretty horrible. Scrafty is a stupid pants Pokemon and Sawk and Throh look too human. The starters are pretty disappointing and the two cover Pokemon are also ugly. Druddigon is dumb too. But for the most part they've been alright.

If you really want to complain about gen V you should complain about the ridiculous power creep with stuff like Darmanitan. 140 Attack with Sheer Force? That's fucking ridiculous. Not only that but they give it a great offensive typing and decent speed AND a great movepool with STAB Flare Blitz and U Turn. That straight up hits harder than most legendaries. Then you have Victini with V Create which is a 180 BP move. Conkeldurr, Chandelure, Volcarona, the list goes on and on...

And don't even get me started on the Prankster garbage.
