Ho hum... scyther is exclusive in diamond? =/ Im getting pearl because my friend is getting diamond.

It doesn't matter in your case, since your friend can just trade you Scyther in his/her Diamond.

I'm getting Pearl too. The Pearl exclusives look more appealing (Slowpoke line, Spheal line, Misdrevious, Mismagius) but it doesn't really matter if your friend has the other version.

Nintendo always release two copies of Pokemon just to cash in, but you know.

Not surprising. It takes balls to roll with psyduck.

I wonder what Nintendo are gonna do about the hacked stuff. There's always going to be gameshark codes and shit like that available. I heard awhile back that there's some sort of detection on the pokemon you catch, ie. if you don't catch z pokemon in z location, but you manage to have it at y location, it's flagged as "not legit" and it can vanish when you attempt to trade. Or something like that.

Sounds like a good idea because there's so many people who will just resort to cheats instead of playing the game properly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I beat the game at 48 hours in, mostly with my level 90 Palkia which I obtained via GTS, and EV trained. But even then it was surprising how tough the E4 was. I'm working on my post-game team now before taking on Battle Tower or whatever it's called. Currently at 146 on my dex.

I'm still planning on having a team of at least Blissey, Milotic, Gengar, Honchkrow, and two others I haven't figured out yet. Blissey is a definite though, since I've been breeding them constantly, and finally have a satisfactory one with high IV's. If anyone would like 80 Chanseys, let me know.

I heard it kicks ass if you train it right. I don't know of any movesets for it though, but it's apparently pretty good.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think he's wanting recommended movesets. The game's too new for a properly detailed list of pro movesets but bulbapedia has a lot of information on the new pokemon, so I guess you could just use that and make your own. It even lists STAB.

Oh yeah I KNEW I was forgetting something there. Maybe I'll add one to my team sometime in the future. It's cute. <3

I was speaking idiomatically.

You can transfer over from any region, but I don't think you can for Pal Park.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's basically a place where you can obtain your Emerald/other version Pokemon, providing you have other Pokemon and whatever version in the GBA slot. Not worth it~~

Just keep breeding them and use an online calculator, one way of doing it is forcing level 100 battles to see their stats and using an IV calculator to see what they're IVs are.

I ended up getting a pretty nice feebas (20+ IVs into each stat) so I'm levelling that right now.

How ya doing, buddy?

How are they easier to train, exactly? You get no bonuses, as opposed to using a Pokemon with a certain nature which gives (for example) +10 S.Atk, -10 S.Def, where S.Def on that certain Pokemon wouldn't be needed anyway due to it's type.

If you mean they're easier to catch, I guess.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I haven't thought about any specifics other than making it with the usual single-elimination brackets. So I suppose if there is any interest maybe we can start brainstorming now or maybe even make a seperate thread on it.

Go for it, I've been busy with some other stuff and didn't really know if people wanted to make a tournament anyway. It seems as if the hype has died down on the new pokemon games considerably so I didn't think it would happen.

But if you want to, sure.

I think you need to beat the Elite 4, so that you wake up in your room after saving. And if you've seen 150 Pokemon you can obtain the dex from Oak in Sandgem.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
