Fuck Yeah Rufflet evolved into Wargle.

Don't know if these stats are good but I hatched a Deino egg with Adamant nature(which seems to be good from what I've see on gamefaqs)

HP 12
Att 6
Def 6
SPATK 4
SPDef 6
SPD 5

Gonna replace my Krookadile.

Both Pokemon and YGO scratch a certain analytical, strategical itch I have. But I haven't played YGO in over a year (and that was on a simulator, even. IRL I haven't played it in like six years.)

Is Opelucid City's theme as good in Black as it is in White? It's so good in White!

Fake edit: Actually I just checked. I like techno music, but it ruins a little the theme in this case. White wins.

This is the second worst thing about the anime. Ash's Pikachu has achieved too much to be jobbing to every other thing that comes along. Hell, ASH has achieved too much to be jobbing. He's comes right off a top 4 finish in the Sinnoh League and is losing to the second Gym Leader? No way.

Yeah, I still remember when he defeated a badass Dragonite by himself pretty early on in the whole series.

He shouldn't be losing to
a Panpour or a starter Snivy (even without being able to use electric attacks)
. Makes no sense and kinda throws away the whole point of Pokémon training.

I want it because it reminds me of the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

Talking shit about Team Rocket but you like a Pokemon because it reminds you of something from Yugioh? You like Mocchi too?

Eh. Hydreigon has a Higher S.Atk and most of his best moves are special, so Modest/Timid would be better. Adamant is definitely sill usable though.

Where can I find Heart Scales again? Need to hunt some down for Move recovery.

People are kidding when they're praising this (or any Pokemon game) for having a good story, right? I mean, White might be better than the others, but they're all just plain awful. Campy disasters, 2/10's at best. I have fun with it and all, but yeah. No. lol

I got a nice epic sensation out of the game's events and presentation in the last few hours of the main 'campaign', but it was short-lived.

The music on the other hand, goddamn, as catchy and hummable as ever. My favorite track is still probably the one used in the Victini fight. Haven't heard it since. I imagine other legendary fights may use it?
 
I caught my second ever shiny Pokemon last night! In this case, it was a Klink.

Magnus said:

The music has been very catchy so far, yeah! Driftveil city and that legendary fight theme are my favorites so far.

I'm at the Pokemon League, my Pokemon are around level 44 so I should probably spend some time grinding. What's the best place to for that, Victory Road?

Leveled it up to 20 in 1 fight. Hasn't evolved yet but not really liking it though. Might just level up my other pokemon to be more on par with the post game trainers and then start doing the IV/EV training.

Dunno if they are your level but check out the little and big stadium for new trainers every day.

Yeah that game freak thread is just full of blind fans who are unable to see any sort of criticism about the games. I lied earlier when I said I wouldn't play bw because I've been playing it (only single player) and I'm almost done. There are still a ton of problems with the game that really are just inexcusable. Still enjoying it though.

Wait, did Ash really have a metapod vs metapod fight in episode four? That's worse than the flash animation magicarp splash attack fight.

the story is leagues better than the other games, but yeah it still falls short of any rpg game released in the past 15 years really. pokemon has never been about story, but people are excited about the story in this game because it shows game freak is trying to improve that aspect. they seem to like baby steps to test the water so maybe we will get a far better story in the next game since the fan reception of this one has been far better than previous. wow that probably is hard to read haha.

Please share a few.
i'm also curious! i feel like the wild encounter rate is higher but i don't even mind that. i also like how they changed how much experience pkmn get when they're higher/lower than the enemy.

Managed to get a shiny Absol through trade negotiations, though I had to sacrifice the shiny Remoraid I got on there earlier.

Sadly its stats are about the worst I've seen.

Super Luck ability, Hasty nature
hp 0-1
atk 6
def 1..on a -10% defense nature
sp.a 11
sp.d. 8
speed 23

Shame I would definitely consider using it otherwise.

And to answer Mr. Sam's question0. I think only baby Pokemon can't breed. Meaning things like Igglybuff, Elekid, Happiny, Magby, Wynaut...

So, let's say I've been reading about IVs and I understand (sorta) what they are, but I still have one question: How do I know my Pokemon's IVs? I just bred a level 1 Cubchoo and I want to know if it has good IVs. How can I tell?

Thank you. I was wondering if Axew constituted a baby pokemon, but I guess not.

And thank you too, I rea--

you can breed pokemon after they hatch O_O

On a related note, why does a newborn Kangaskhan already have a child in its pouch? I would have expected them to have made baby Kangaskhan a separate species by now. And also implemented its evolution into Cubone because we all know and it's too late to lie about it!

My team:

Samurott
Throh
Zebstrika
Simisear
Victini
Excadrill

Is that a good team for the Pokemon League battles or do I need some other type of Pokemon to make those battles easier?

Aw, no need to just give me one, haha. Thank you though.

New to the trading game and friend codes and all that jazz (first gen player from a decade ago, lol) - how can I offer to help you? Is it a trade-evolution thing? Trade me and I trade it back to you? I can definitely help. Just need to know how. :)

Would it be worth it to add a Ferroseed to my party? It's types would help out a lot, but I'm not to found of it's ability. Does anyone know how it turns out when it evolves?

I did it with one Pokemon above level 41, my starter. The rest were a Psychic and Ice type and almost everyone but the starter basically functioned as meat shields if I needed to have him out for a round or two to recover and heal him up. Basically, it's doable with a terrible team and some items. :p

I'm noticing a lot of people are abandoning their starter in their Elite-4 lineups. Why's that? They seem obscenely powerful, have great movesets and have been with you the whole game, so they're probably at a decent level already. My Emboar was a godsend in so many ways all game long.

Is it pointless to use an Escavalier in my party if I've already got an Excadrill? I like Escavalier, but it seems like it has a bad movepool, highest attack strength is 80 (before STAB).

That's a big generational leap! So yeah, we add each others friend codes via the pal pad, then go into a Pokemon center and use the wifi club feature on the top floor. I'd trade you my Karrablast so it can evolve, then we trade back.

This guy is a little different tricky though, because he only evolves during a trade with Shelmet. If you have that Pokemon, then let's do this!

is there a website that lists the best pokemon for each type like

Top 5 from
Dragon
Electric
Fire
Etc.

Also disappointed with the small and big court/stadium

You can fight trainers but you can't watch the game when they play :/.
Would have also been awesome if they had Tennis, Baseball, Basketball, Football and Soccer mini games.

Well encountered my first ever passerby. Strangely enough according to the clock this would have occurred just after I got back home.

It's not quite that simple. Physical or special? In-game or competitively? Singles or doubles?

Having said that, I think Smogon has usage data so you can see what people think are the best (and therefore include on their competitive teams). I'm just not sure where it is for the current generation. Firestorm might be able to point you to it...

Ok, so I'm looking for a Chikorita. I have every other starter in the series, except that one, so I can breed to trade for it!
