It still goes down even if you don't turn it on, but it's weird.
Back when I lost my cart, when I found it a month later, I went to the forest and saw it completely blank. I got it back up to speed, went to visit it another month later (I also visited it once in between but I didn't talk to anybody or catch anything), and it was nearly the same.

What's the possibility of a B/W super edition being made? Playing Soul Silver has really rekindled my inner pokemon master. Once I'm done with SS I'll be picking up White, but if a 3rd gen 5 game is going to be released I'll just get Emerald and Platinum and play through those two first.

I still maintain RSE sequels are more likely than remakes.
Will GameFreak even consider this idea?Exterminieren said:
Guys, you need to remember just how much mental suffering GameFreak went through just to be able to think of permanent TMs.
It was kind of funny to see how proud they were of several innovations in BW when we've been calling them out for years.
Technically, making straight RSE remakes would mess with the Pokémon timeline. BW take place an undetermined amount of time after DPP/HGSS, which themselves take place three years after RSE/FRLG. If you look at the location text for a Pokémon created in Gen III, it'll say "after a long travel through time". So unless GF has some stupidly elaborate explanation prepared, any trip back to Hoenn is likely to be a sequel instead of a direct retelling of events.upandaway said:

I don't even understand what you're saying.
Something about flavor text from Gen 3 Pokemon? Maybe the "time" the games are talking abut is IRL time, ever think of that?
Let me try again.Andrex said:
As you can see from the timeline chart from your thread, the events of Black/White happen years after the events of Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. GF have written the stories so far that games in the same generation happen at the same time. The events of RBY happened at the same time as RSE, and the events of GSC happened at the same time as DPP. Assuming this trend continues in Gen V, any game set in Hoenn would be years after the events of Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and at the same time as the events of Black/White.
Get it now?

Or they could be remakes, supplanting RSE in the canon (although there won't be as much to smooth over canon-wise as there was in Gen 1 and 2.)

Well that would obviously be kept, no reason to toss that out.

I just like to talk about all aspects of the franchise.
Also keep in mind that 'spread moves', moves that hit more than 1 Pokemon, only hit for 75% of the base damage for the move. ie; Heat Wave is normally 100 base power, but only 75 base power when you're using it in doubles to hit two Pokemon. Whereas a move targeting a single Pokemon, like Fire Blast, keeps its 120 base power.
Neither is the right, or wrong move to use. It's simple strategy.

Rain became far and away the most powerful weather, and has the best / most abusers for the weather. Sand Storm had Excadrill, but he was banned himself. Rain has far too many Pokemon to out right ban all Swift Swimmers for instance. Rain actually boost Swift Swim abuser's powerful STAB attacks, and it centralizes the metagame around Rain / Anti-Rain.
I don't always agree with Smogon's bannings of course. If they can ban a weather+ability, they could have just banned Excadrill with Sand Rush, forcing it to use Sand Force. Of course, they're trying to force a singles metagame where it's clear that the developers have been focusing on doubles. Doubles, especially thanks to Team Preview before hand, has been a lot more balanced, and there are far more Pokemon that can work in Doubles than Smogon's OU Singles.
And for all those reasons (and more!), I quite playing the singles metagame.

They banned Excadrill outright? What is this, communist Russia or something?
Speaking as someone who knows nothing about competitive Pokemon, I think it's just because it's a broken combination. Double speed is an insanely good benefit and putting Drizzle on Politoed means that you can now get infinite rain and have that effect last for the whole battle outside of ubers.Gravijah said:
Weather in general is something that I think needs to be nerfed in the next game. As it is right now, it's pretty hard to beat a good weather team without running your own weather team. Either they need to make it so that Drizzle, Drought, Sand Stream and Snow Warning weather effects revert to normal weather when the user leaves the field (So they run out in five turns instead of being infinite until another weather effect comes in) or there needs to be other ways to stop weather without having to start new weather (cough cough Defog).
Excluding Pokemon with >600 BST, Smogon has banned:

Darkrai
Deoxys-A
Deoxys
Excadrill
Garchomp
Manaphy
Shaymin-S
Thundurus
While legitimate cases can be made for Darkrai, Manaphy and Deoxys, the others just annoy me and feel far more removing things you can't be bothered to deal with rather than things that legitimately overpower everything else.
