So I've been breeding a little bit and I ended up with some Abra with the following spreads:
01/31/31/31/27/31
31/24/04/31/29/31
30/14/01/31/27/31
30/05/08/31/30/24
Pretty happy with those.
I think the real question is why we've had fire/fighting dual typing for the starter for the past three gens.

Oooh same here. Although mine are still on Pkmn Black. It's pretty cool having all those Pokemon I've trained across Fire Red, Diamond, Soul Silver, Platinum and Black. I certainly wouldn't make that effort again.

Really wish they'd change things up and do different starter types. Like a different triangle.
Or add two new pokemon in addition to the normal 3.
I think it would be awesome to have 5 starter pokemon, and it would add more variety. Then you'd also have the fire/grass/water starters to choose from.
---------------------------------------
edit: Does anyone here have a Lotad they would be willing to trade? Only ds games I have are Platinum, Black, and Black 2 so it's impossible for me to get one.

Throw in a poison starter and I would wet myself with joy. Poison type needs a serious buff imo.
lol It's what I've been doing with all my extra Litwick. Just trading them to White 1 for all my other pokemon.

There aren't any drawbacks. It only adds to what you'll already see. New cut scenes and direct references to your old player character and a few unique Pokémon to capture.
You have to trade each of your Pokémon one by one. I bought hundreds of Repeat Balls and ran around on Route 19 catching Patrats and Purrloins for hours. And then spent hours trading them to the other system.
It's why I posted so frequently for a while. All I could do was post here and watch TV while I was doing it. D:
When did you do it? I've only just started this. Probably a bit overkill if it's the first thing I do...!

After the Elite 4. There is no way I would worry about it before beating the main game.
Poison is already a badass type in my eyes. Sure, offensively it needs a small boost (such as upping the accuracy on Gunk Shot a little), but Poison has plenty of strong Pokémon. I'm planning on making a team of Roserade, Scolipede, Golbat, Nidoking, Drapion and Venomoth.

Oh don't get me wrong there are some strong Pokemon in the type. I just wish overall it had more offensive capabilities. I mean it only hits one type for SE. That sucks. It's my favorite type, and it most definitely NEEDS a legend.
...I forgot there haven't been any Poison legendaries
Poison Arceus
But Poison isn't really meant to be an offensive type, similarly to Dark. There's a reason there aren't Dark equivalents of Thunderbolt etc. Dark's drawback is low power moves, Poison's is terrible type coverage

Still blows lol. I also wish Seviper had an evo. Would be so awesome....

Ice Punch would be the most useful, I think. Replace Me First or Counter.

Ice punch is a must for lucario.
Anyway I beat the elite 4 yesterday + champ. I never really grinded the entire game, in fact I used repel everywhere, my team of 5 were all equal level around 56/57.
It wasn't so bad!

Get rid of Me First for Ice Punch. Then when you can get rid of Counter for Close Combat.
I'm kind of tired of this game. I'm about a third of the way through my lap around the world with all of the HMs and I just don't want to play it any more. It's a good game, but no new Pokemon means I'm not going to catch anything I don't already have. I just found the cave where you find the the Regis and I'm like "I probably have to jump through hoops to make them appear and I have them twice already so whatever."

Ill probably use him post game though because I love his typing and he just looks awesome.

Funny thing, since I started out with a Snivy, Genesect is needed for me to keep things going until I got Snivy up to Serperior and an Axew.

nah that would be too easy
So you need to breed them I guess?
Yeah. Which isn't a big deal if you have a foreign ditto and a pokemon with flame body.
I did it! I completed the Unova Dex! Minus Meloetta but the game doesn't count that, and there hasn't been a legit Meloetta released in North America yet. Now to take a break before focusing on other post-game stuff and filling out the National Dex.
Gold/Silver are the cutoff. There's no way to transfer from a Game Boy/Game Boy Color game to a GBA game.
Gens I & II are self-contained, only transferring between the two.
Gens III, IV, and V are connected in some way.
When you beat a Gen IV game (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, and Soul Silver) you can unlock the Pal Park, where you can insert a Gen III game (Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red, Leaf Green, and Emerald) in the GBA slot and transfer Pokemon from that.
When you beat a Gen V game (Black, White, Black 2, and White 2), you can go to the PokeTransfer Lab and transfer Pokemon from a Gen IV game. A second DS is required.

I was told that it is impossible because Gen 3 and 2 can't trade. I wanted to do the same thing a few weeks ago. I ended up just using Ir-GTS to remake them.

Well I finally got a copy today. Still haven't received the copy I originally preordered from GAME, nor have they got back to my email, so when they eventually do I'll ask for a refund.
At Virbank at the moment, doing a spot of training before facing Roxie. Chose Oshawott as my starter and currently have a Pidove, Riolu and Growlithe in my team.

Beat the game and started wandering around some. Just want to say... my god does Emboar have a terrible level-up moveset. I can't believe that the only fighting attack a part fighting starter gets is goddamn Arm Thrust, which I somehow still have on the thing even though it's in the 70s!
Oh well. Not sure how motivated I feel to really dig into the rest of the game. That's kind of what usually happens to me outside of the main new-gen games. Mostly I just think I'm a little fatigued of seeing the so many entries on the same hardware. I mean, I went Pearl->Platinum->SS->White->White 2, so this is my fifth entry without a tech leap?
Plus the lingering thoughts that the next gen is probably going to hit here some time next year or the spring after is just killing my motivation to go all out here.
Sucks too, because I've definitely enjoyed ripping through the game. I'm just not sure how much I care about filling the habitat list/pokedex, grabbing all the TMs, hunting down legendaries, etc. (I actually think the biggest thing is realizing how close we are to a huge metagame shift, though, which makes me REALLY not care about breeding new competitive pokemon.)

What are you referring to?

Gen VI
IE when a new gen hits it's definitely going to completely overhaul the metagame. Which is killing my motivation to get back into the metagame, because most of the stuff I breed will probably be useless next year. Though maybe "soon" wasn't the right word to use, heh.

It be nice for them to do a complete cutoff with Gen VI. Let's just start over.
I doubt it though. I could imagine hardcore would be upset not being to transfer rare Pokemon.

Cutoffs would be inconcievable nowadays, especially with the dex about to hit 800.
I can't I didn't notice how awesome the Dream World is until now? I got me a badass Kabuto AND Omanyte in the Dream World - not to mention Cubone!
So my current team in White is:
Omanyte
Elekid
Cubone
Darumaka
Servine
.. and on Monday Braviary will join these guys. So awesome! I hoped to find a Remoraid in the Dream World, but it never happened. I've NEVER used one before and his evolution (Octa..? Forgot its name) is badass as hell. Oh well.. Some other time, I guess. (Yes I am too lazy to trade).

Quick question gaf,
Going to pick this up later today. I have pokemon white. Should I get white 2 or black 2? Asking strictly from a catch them all perspective, do the exclusives from white/black flip or stay the same in white2/black2?

No idea about the exclusives, but you are "supposed" to get White 2 as it's a sequel to White. You also get the other legendary (in White 2 you get Reshiram - you got Zekron in White). I would definitely recommend getting White 2 - and just GTS the exclusives you can't obtain ingame.
I'm sure you have FRLG and HGSS. Get to work.
Get the key from someone who has beaten the Elite 4 in Black 2, or has gotten the key from someone else who has beaten the Elite 4 in Black 2.
That's it.

Octillery is great, my favourite water type after Cloyster.
You can give it an entertaining gimmicky moveset with its odd movepool, flamethrower Octillery is a treat.
Isn't Remoraid just bobbing around the ocean in this one anyway?
I should really figure out how this dream world stuff works because I want a Snover that doesn't bother me with non stop hail storms, it's not very useful for the rest of the team since i'm not running an Ice lineup but damn do I love that Abomasnow.
Yeah, but you can't get him until you reach Undella town. Way too late
I'll save him for some other time.I actually found a Snover with is Dream World ability in the Dream World. He's in the ice cave.
