Melkor?

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Before Gen V came out, this admin of a Spanish website posted descriptions and MSPaint pictures of all the new Pokemon...nobody believed him, but then all of it turnedout to be completely true.
Don't poke the wound. It's already infected. *sniff*
Conquest, Snap and the Stadium games are phenomenal. More like that plz.

I saw that in vp, it's fake since they're all just goofing around.
Speaking of which they have a thread there about the functionality of Pokemon games you probably missed. Is it true that in Gen V when you struck a Pokemon with a phy attack, it blinks white, and with a spe attack, it blinks black?

I haven't played either of them, lacking a Wii, but I watched over playthroughs of both of them. The first time around amused me, but this second time around I'm genuinely interested.

Wait. Remember i thay. No one could believe that tympole was a pokemon cuz of the face it has.
I feel like Froakie is more of the wizard type though. Water/Psychic sounds about right.
Well, the thing stopping me is that I would feel the need to go through the first game before the second, despite knowing that I should start with the second as I've heard the first isn't that great.
Also, I have a huge Wii backlog to plow through. That's a factor too.

I read that same thread just now.
Yeah, it's true, though it's the other way around - physical attacks are black, special attacks are white. Never noticed that before o_o
Also didn't even remember that GSC had slightly different music for night and day.
Pretty sure the difference was that in the night all (or most) of the music just played with a little slower tempo. Could be wrong though, haven't booted up a GSC game in many years.
Never noticed that blink thing, though.
Thats actually pretty cool.
Welcome Joe!
Also, wheres my manatee pokemon? I love manatees.

Yeah I'm noticing it now!
Also I always thought they removed the "quick move" function from Gen IV since I tried pressing Y and instead they relegated it as a touchscreen button. But apparently pressing Select does it too!
Oh and running adds drums to the music!

And I never noticed that too, somehow. I should check if there's anything else that I missed there.
EDIT:
Yea, that's more of a difference in the notes, I guess. Like I said, haven't played it in a long time. I remember that there where differences, not what they where exactly.
The 3rd disc of the HG/SS OST doesn't have 2 versions of the tracks, AFAIK.

Yeah, there are bits like that. I actually made a page about all the music alterations in Black & White and Black 2 & White 2

I like that they added back in the multi-select move (the yellow option) back into BW2, it's the best thing - hope they don't take it out again in XY...
And I definitely noticed the drums thing when playing, it's pretty neat. I wonder if they'll do different sounds for seasons and night in XY - I liked the variation in the day/night songs of G4 more than the seasonal variation in G5, to be honest.
Yes, they were very good. I think the reason G5's isn't as memorable is because you have to wait a month or two to hear the alternate tracks, and the change in most of it is just some of the layers being different, while G4's alternate tracks are the same composition, done differently.

In fairness, Melkor leaked a week or two ahead of release, not 9 frigging months.

I didn't know about pressing X exits the PC very quickly.

Pokémon Stadium 1 and 2 were the best spin-offs. The mini-games were super fun, the whole "rent Pokémon" thing was awesome as you could battle with people who either didn't have the handheld game or just to try odd combinations, and it was great seeing your Pokémon rendered like that.
I don't know why none of the following games had rental Pokémon or mini-games or anything that made the first two so cool.

X corresponds to the red X button you see at the bottom of some screens - it's pretty much the quick escape button for lots of menus, including a Pokemon's status, the Pokedex, etc.
Is their some uni level class that teaches people the fundamentals of Pokemon... It was banned at my elementary school and I never did learn these things.
Thats what a group of friends and the playground was for.
Yes, that's why all the menus in G5 have both the red X and the blue back arrow. The arrow goes one back, while the X closes the menu entirely.
But you can use the B button instead of pressing the back button, and the X button instead of pressing the onscreen X button.
Also, my favorite day/night G4 combo is Route 209. But for some reason 209 is my favorite track in those game in general.
are there any decent modern-era pokemon stadium games? i don't recall seeing the stadium name after the n64 but perhaps it was under a different name.
The Battle Sim genre continued with Colosseum, XD (to a lesser extent) and Pokémon Battle Revolution. We haven't seen one for Gen V

It's not the same. They gave you an entire team, you couldn't pick the individual Pokémon yourself from a list with everyone but the Ubers and event Pokémon. And you could unlock them by beating the game!
That shit was great.

Pokemon Battle Revolution is on the Wii and is compatible with the Gen 4 DS games.

That rumor is so beautiful that it have to be fake.
Yeah, PBR was actually terrible about that in a good way.
The idea behind it was solid, if you didn't want/didn't have your own DS team on it you could use rental teams, unlock more over time and then trade them off for stronger stuff as you progressed in the colosseums, and eventually being able to modify the rental teams as you pleased.
But the rental options were TERRIBLE, and your trade options, once that finally unlocked at the end of the game, were marginal improvements, if that.

I was talking about the X button, but holy shit didn't know about it... and it applies to all menus? Oh shit!
I didnt mean it in a bad way, just meant thats what I did. That was pretty much what happened every day during 1st and 2nd grade. My school had Pokemon fever.

Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness the idea they had for a home console pokémon game was interesting and I would have love to seen Genius Sonority taken the concept further. But alas they pretty put a stop to it, presumably because they didn't want it to over shadow the handheld games.
Although I do wonder what the story mode would have been like in Pokémon Battle Revolution had they not dropped it during development.
I was going to get that game but I didn't like the idea of playing a 3-D pokémon game with only the Wiimote and no Nunchuk put me right off.
I would love to see Cynthia again, but if she doesn't eh it isn't the end of the world.
Yeah Pokémon Battle Revolution is a bit of a catch 22, since you needed the Gen 4 games to get the full package but then you have to ask yourself what does Pokémon Battle Revolution offer that the Gen 4 games didn't, aside from battling in 3D.
The Music was good however.
Like I said, it is both the on screen red X, and the actual X button on the DS. And yes, pretty much every single menu in G5 has it.
ahh you edited lols.
If it ends up being true then I hope Froakie gets something like an electric axe attack or something.
Question for PokéGAF, which old pokémon do you guys feel need an evolution? I think I asked this already, but in any case. I think there are a bunch of pokemon in need of one like Farfetch'd, Solrock/Lunatone, Dunsparce/Ledian.
Doesn't it get quite challenging in the post-game (which is supposedly most of the game)? That's what people say, at least. I never made it that far -- just got caught up in other things. I'll go back to it...
