Platinum is a pretty fun game though, and I like Gen IV, but looking back I think it had the worst selection of Pokemon...DP, moreso, as Platinum at-least let you get the new evolutions in-game, plus a few other oldies like Houndour and Skarmory. But seriously, DP gave you a Dex of 150, with half of them being oldies basically...very disappointing.
But uh...yeah, Thundurus freaks me out when you encounter it...I was just on Route 3 breeding and, BAM, lighting strikes. So creepy.

Guys...Give Venusaur a break. Life as a plant dinosaur has enough challenges without you guys shitting on his self esteem.

I have a whole box of Pansear now...not one of them is a female.
Can't wait till I have to start breeding them for the right nature...at least I don't have to worry about them getting the wrong ability.

Well, he can rest easy with the fact that, at the very least, he'll never be as bad as Meganium.

Murkas said:The only good thing about gen 2 starters was Totodile, the other two sucked. Torterra is a beast, Infernape is Blaziken done right and Empoleon is king, sorry bro
Does it have to be shiny dogs or Celebi for the event because I missed those.

Is Reuniclus the best Psychic type in the game?
That and a Heracross were basically my Battle Frontier-trashing team from SoulSilver.

Victini and the unobtainable Meloetta are the only Psychics this generation that would give the mighty Reuniclus a run for his money.. but he's a beast.
As for my Battle Tower team from previous generations, I used (Trick / Flash / Thunder-Wave / Memento) Uxie, with Registeel being the primary sweeper (Iron Head / Curse / Substitute / Rest) and Garchomp (Substitute / Swords Dance / Earthquake / Outrage with Lum Berry).
Basically, Uxie will only be targeted by attacks Registeel / Garchomp can take. And even then, it can rarely be OHKOed by anything. So, you Trick the Choice Scarf from Uxie onto a Pokemon, making it stuck in its move. Being, Psychic, it's not going to be a Fighting or Ground move so about 90% of the time Registeel will be the switch in when I have them down to -6 accuracy, paralyzed and then Memento'ed. I would not always use Memento, because sometimes it was critical to keep Uxie alive to setup Garchomp later.
Anyways, with the Pokemon stuck in a single move with -6 Accuracy, -2 Attack and -2 Special Attack, Registeel sets up Curse with his Substitute and Rest before sweeping. He rarely could be 2HKOed, even factoring in a critical. Garchomp was the back up sweeper, meant to take Fire attacks, or Status, thanks to his Lum. There's only something like 2 Pokemon in Battle Tower that are not 2HKOed by a +6 Outrage, with most being an easy OHKO.
I wanted to swap Drapion with Accupressure for Registeel eventually. Battle Armor means Criticals are a thing of the past, and he enjoys being paired with Uxie as well. Speaking of Uxie, if I had a better Latias, I would have used her, thanks not attracting the odd Fire attack once in a while.
All in all, the team was pretty good for me though.

After 37(!) Pansear's, I finally got a female.
Now to raise my Chimchar to learn Nasty Plot, and then it's time to breed more Pansear's to get a Naive or Rash Natured one.

Ouch. I think i bred a similar number of Drilburs last night before I finally got two with Adamant nature, Sand Rush and 31 Atk/Speed IVs.
It was an emotional experience.
I feel like Infernape gets a free pass because he's next to the (awesome) Torterra, and people really like Empoleon for some reason (Steel penguins are impossibly cool. I'm still not sure how GF messed this one up). Here's the TRUE starter tier lists:
Water - Blastoise > Swampert > Samurott >>> Empoleon > Feraligatr
Grass - Torterra > Serperior > Venusaur > Sceptile >>> Meganium
Fire - Charizard > Blaziken >>> Emboar > Infernape > Typhlosion
Despite being a loyal water-starter, I must admit that grass stands out for overall quality. Only real weak piece for them is Meganium, and well, Gen II was easily the worst tier for starters.

Thank God for the new EXP System.
One Hariyama, and my Chimchar's at Level 23.
So, it's got the Nasty Plot I needed for my Simisear set.

You were so close. But Swampert >>>> every starter, just in sheer combat beastliness.iirate said:
I'm still super-pissed that we got another Fire/Fighting. Dewott and Samurott should have been Water/Fighting and learned Sacred Sword via tutor. =(

Hmm...for me I think it would go...
Grass: Meganium < Serperior < Venusaur < Sceptile < Torterra
Fire: Typhlosion = Charizard < Infernape < Blaziken < Emboar
Water: Blastoise = Feraligatr < Empoleon < Samurott < Swampert
Although, Grotle and Pignite are my favorite starter forms ever.

Ugh, your list is all kinds of wrong.
Grass - Serperior > Torterra >>> Sceptile > Meganium > Venusaur
Fire - Blaziken > Charizard > Infernape >>> Typhlosion >>> Emboar
Water - Empoleon >>> Blastoise > Swampert > Feraligatr >>> Samurott
Samurott was totally a missed opportunity. He should have been a bipedal Water/Fighting and learned the new sword moves.

To be fair (and I didn't state this at all in the original post), I was rating them based on aesthetics alone.
Also, you're completely right. They should have stopped at ONE Fire/Fighting, instead of handing us three IN A ROW. Samurott was such a natural candidate for Water/Fighting too.
I'd still like to see them create a starter trio that, when fully evolved, follows the Dark/Fighting/Ghost paper-rock-scissors paradigm, as a counterpoint to their Grass/Water/Fire typings. For example:
Grass/Fighting - Fire/Dark - Water/Ghost
It would be interesting to see a series of starters that absolutely wreck each other. I'd especially be interested in seeing how GF would lay out the stats for each.

Even though I love the Toge* line (Togetic is still probably my favorite Pokemon design ever <3), I always thought Togepi's beady eyes were kind of un-cute.

Any chance you could breed me a Chimchar? Preferably one with Nasty Plot too?Watch Da Birdie said:Thank God for the new EXP System.

I'm thinking about giving Elgyem a try to see how it is, and Bulbapedia says it can get Nasty Plot through Chimchar, Drowzee or Croagunk.

Need to get rid of these 40+ Pansear first before I begin to breed more.

Bah, no one on GTS Negotions want my Pansear.
Even the ones with Nasty Plot, Flamethrower, and Grass Knot bred on them.

Anyway, this was a pretty neat idea I heard the other day...having a box filled with all the Unown, and showing them over the GTS Negotiations to talk with the other player.
