They must include hypnotic suggestions to buy more of their stuff or something xd

At least their strategy guides are pretty decent considering they basically translate the Japanese ones. And all that pretty art!

I wish Versus still made guides, their Pokemon guides were a nice read. So was Nintendo Power (RIP)

What if you want to take a break from the internet? Or the computer even? You want to print all of that out? And guides are pretty...=O
Just don't buy guides from Namco fighters. They are evil evil people who will put out a patch for the game a week after the release, making the guide a pretty paperweight.

I have the Yellow, Gold/Silver, and Emerald Nintendo Power guides.
They're how I learned most things about Pokémon since I couldn't rely on the internet in those days. There is a lot a kid can miss, not understand, or take for granted in a game like Pokémon, especially without help.

That Platinum guide is still the stuff of legends.
Or what if you're going somewhere for a long weekend where their is no internet like a cottage or a grandparents house.
Man gotta say while getting ready for Black and White 2 I've been doing a LOT of transfering between gens to get the Pokemon I want and it's a total pain in the butt.
Why does Gen 4 only allow you to transfer 6 per day? And why do you have to catch them again in the Pal park? Such annoying busy work.
And Gen V who's dumb idea was that arrow catching game. Well at least you can transfer more then once per day so that's an improvement
Hey, I actually knew the guy who helped work on the Tekken 5 Strategy Guide. Although, Tekken wasn't really known to have patches at that point...

That guide was fine. I'm talking about recently. Soul Calibur V guide, thanks a LOT. And this patching thing is kinda a recent thing...
Actually from what I read, the TTT2 guide isn't that hot either but I'll have to see.
I didn't really have internet back then either. My friend had his mom call the Nintendo hotline to ask for hints.

It's been a roller coaster ride to suck...to being not so sucky but still being ignored.
And Namco really did release a patch online which altered a bunch of the characters moves...things essential for competitive players to know, a week (If that) after the game came out. So...yea. Booo Namco on that one.

A lot of people say that but look who won Evo and Nats. An Amy player.

Buy it.
Miracles do happen. Well, another thing is that sometimes the most unexpected thing can be more effective as well. I recall gamerbee's Adon in the SSFIV Evo tournament.
I thought the combination of Gen V's Pokémon, setting, and general quality and the absolute doggedness of the Platinum/HGSS teams would make an incredible game.
I didn't know that they'd make one this incredible. I'll likely be doing single player shit in this game until it starts getting warm again next year.
B2/W2 is so good.

Maybe with Rage...using a Solo character against a team.
And you will not wreck me...=D

Well Ike I grabbed a Growlithe from my copy of Fire red and Transfered it to platinum.
I'm going to bread it so I can nickname the new one after you. The only question now is which team to use it on.
My next goal is to bag an Elekid since I need an electric type on the team I'm building for Black and White 2 to balance it out.

And yet sadly outclassed by Magnemite.

Yay!
I use Electivire on several of my teams too. Though I've been trying to phase him out for a Guts ability Luxray. Which is hard because even a Jolly Luxray is usually too slow for my tastes. >_<
I just want Arcanine and Luxray to be friends. ;~;
It is but remember in a game with easy access to elemental punches it can be a great catch all pokemon.
I'm playing B2 so there was only really once choice,
Mareep, who is in both versions. This is maybe the 20th time across all games I've used one.

It really does stink Luxray's speed is lousy. He seems like a decent Pokemon otherwise.
Sweet that will make bagging one even easier for me.
I'm already using a Beldum, I don't need two Steel types on my team
I have a Luxray on my team in Platnium, once my Growlithe grows up they can hang out together

Never noticed that...maybe I just had him overleveled so I never got a chance to see. The Mareep line always seemed speedier compared to Shinx's line...all electric Pokemon should be fast!
UltimateIke

Ampharos at least has Cotton Spore.
Luxray needs Agility.
Luxray needs Agility.
Isn't that basically a poor man's Thunder Wave?
Yeah, the Shinx line actually has more speed than the Mareep one. Although you might have gotten a speed natured mareep, but I just load them up on carbos and boost that speed up. At least Mareep line has that cool ability that paralyzes the opponent on physical contact. Overleveling will do that too. I agree about the last part as well.
UltimateIke
Member
I guess so. I was just thinking of ways Ampharos has to get around its speed problems. You can stack Cotton Spore though!
I should try Thunder Wave on Luxray.

Interesting...I learn stuff everyday.
This is also why I love Amphy a bit more.
I love them all so much but I'll do a most used to give an idea:
Gen 1: Tie between Raichu and Jolteon. Used them both a ton.
Gen 2: Ampharos, Lanturn.
Gen 3: Manectric by default. He sort of stinks in gen 3 but is much better now. Sort of a poor man's Houndoom.
Gen 4:Magnezone, Electrivire, Luxray.
Gen 5: Complete tie between all of them. I used them all exactly once and like them all.

I like Houndoom too, I just wish I didn't have to wait to Kanto to get him in GSC.

When we listed favorite types before, I said Raichu for best electric-type overall, but right now I think it is probably Luxray. I've been spending a lot of time working on him. Plus, I'm really liking the lion/tiger dynamic he has with Arcanine.
