Do people battle doubles competitively?

The Pokemon Company holds regional, national, and world tournaments for the video game and they use doubles for the tournaments. Most people battle in singles online though.

 

[ivysaur12]

Official tourney format's doubles. Yes.

Oh! I had no idea.

 

[PaulExcellent]

That's a bit impossible.

Yeah, I know.

Quick question:
I want to transfer my FireRed team, when I have one, to Y. How do I do that?

 

[Soren01]

Pokemon XY will most likely sell between 16-18 million LTD. A very solid performance and comparable to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.

Potential GOTY: GTA V or Pokémon XY?

 

[blamite]

This better be a Ghost type (possessed) or Psychic type (imbued with energy). Maybe even fairy type (magic life). I like there to be at least some small hint of sense in designs, like it's possessed or something. Not just...an animal that looks like keys. If not, this will take the spot of my least favorite design of them all.

However if it is one of those types, it scrapes by as acceptable.

Edit: People are saying it is steel/fairy. It scrapes by. Bonus points if the pokedex entry gives a good explanation.

only the ring part is the Pokemon, it's a fairy that steals people's keys and attaches them to itself.

You need a Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSlite plus Pokemon Pearl/Diamond/Platinum

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

Barnacle Boy looks rad. Nice reference to barnacles having only 1 eye, too.

 

[Neiteio]

BARBARACLE!! Ha, awesome!

 

[Avixph]

Looks awesome to me.

 

[JSoup]

That thing is a tad confusing to look at.

[UberTag]

Well, we have something... unusual... to add to the Coastal Dex.

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

Barbacle is god tier.

[Deleted member 13876]

Rock and Water, what kind of typing is that?

Corsola's.

 

[789shadow]

Wat.

 

[Espada]

Damn Binacle evolved into something even uglier. Also, GF seems to be getting the most out of the Tough Claws ability.

 

[Greenzxy]

welp

 

[blamite]

welp

Binacle is pretty bad but I'm okay with this one! I'd never use it on my team but it's a neat concept and it looks fairly alright, rock-diaper aside.

Corsola's.

And Gen 1's fossils, Relicanth, and the turtle fossil.

 

[Akuosa]

I knew deep down there was no hope with this one, but still... this hurts.

 

[Rarutos]

That Pokédex entry makes it very interesting. His limbs have a mind of their own!

Good description.

You need to transfer them to a finished gen 4 game that has access to the Pal Park, Platinum is the best one as it's the Quickest as you just need the natural dex which you can get if you see all the Sinnoh Pokémon in the Pokédex and doesn't have once a day limit.

Note you need a DS with the GBA slot.

Then you need you transfer them again to gen 5, this requires two DS and is Post game but doesn't require seeing all the Pokémon.

And the from Gen 5 to 6 just use the Pokébank feature.

 

[vinnygambini]

The reviews come out tomorrow.

I thought that was IGN only? Nevertheless I'm looking forward to it. I've never been this hyped for a Pokemon game since Gold and Silver.

 

[Espada]

I knew deep down there was no hope with this one, but still... this hurts.

Binacle is just hideous, but for GameFreak to actually top that with something worse deserves praise.

 

[Caladrius]

I'm still keeping mine, he's served me well


Medicham may be a Pokemon with the same typing that focuses on Attack. But they don't have steadfast ;_;

Gallade is always on my team.

Medicham has raw power that gives it a niche in the higher tiers, Gallade has superior coverage (including shadow sneak, a good deterrent for ghost types) and is much better at taking special attacks.

Edit: WHAT THE FUCK!?
