[DS] How do you get 3,000 pikachus on a bus? POKEMON!

How does Water handle Dodaitoise? It's not weak to it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I have a few questions/comments.

The Fukamaru evolution set shouldn't be compared to Salamence's. Shelgon evolves into Salamence at level 50, not level 55 like the other first-to-second evolutions included in the sets mentioned.

At what level will Rhydon evolve? Currently, Rhyhorn evolves at level 42.

How does the Minomucchi thing work? I assume each version of it can be caught as both male and female. The male only has one evolution. The female, after evolving, has a split path like Gloom. Is that close?

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

Okay. So they've taken the Seadra/Kingdra approach.

Quote:

He becomes Rock/Ground instead of just Rock. I don't know why they'd do that since isn't that a quad weakness against water?

Rhydon is Ground/Rock, not just Rock. Its high defense does not help it with the quadruple damage it receives from Water and Grass attacks.

Would it have been too hard to have us use the Leaf Stone? That was all I wanted...

How ya doing, buddy?

With all of these splite evolutions to worry about, I'm glad I have Ditto.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Weren't Latios and Latias gendered? We couldn't breed them.

FELIPE NO

What good does Ancientpower do Tangela?

And with the different attack system, I expect Likitung to be more powerful. Thinking about Snorlax, I wonder if Snore will be considered a physical attack...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Does this mean that we won't have any moves learned at the same level by one stage and the following stage? I think, once upon a time, Chameleon learned a move at level 36, evolved, and then learned another as Charizard.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Like let's say he evolves after learning Rollout and Berouberuto immediately upon evolution tries to learn "Rolling Lick" (made up). That'll still happen, no doubt.

So I could theoretically evolve them well before they would naturally? That sounds like a way to get larger amounts of stat points. And in the previous games, as proven by GameShark, evolved forms learned the same moves at the same levels before the planned evolution. Maybe that would stay the same and I'd have an excuse to evolve a few of these guys early.

Is there going to be a new Pokédex, or are they just going to place the new ones on the end (i.e. National Dex)?

That wasn't a yes or no question. I liked that in G/S/C, there were two lists. One was with the traditional list, numbering the new creatures as additions. The other, the one I preferred, was an updated list where there was no clear line between new and old or even region. I was just wondering if there will be two options in new game or, as R/S/E and LG/FR did, there will only be the National Dex.

From those drawings, Dodaitoise looks the best. Empelt looks less like the Regis, now.

And it seems wrong for Galaxy Admins to be named, indirectly, after male gods. It's like the Sailor Scouts all over again.

I was speaking idiomatically.
