Pokémon Community Thread 2: "This is the Real Power of Johto..."

I almost bought an Arceus figure on Ebay to go with my preorder figures from HG/SS and Platinum so that I could have the complete set.

Only to learn that their where more of these figures then I thought.

In Japan Diamond and Pearl preorders came with Dialga and Palkia. If you bought both you got one with all three starters on it.

And at some point their was a Darkrai floating around as well.

Needless to say, getting those guys now would be next to impossible now so I decided to give up on Arceus since I'll never have the full collection anyhow :(

Hmm...

Figure collection can be something maddening and yet there will be a sense of you accomplishing something.
 
They need to change 4x moves and 0.25x moves to something like "Ultra Effective" and "Barely Effective".
That would be something that would make sense - they've already change those messages when raising/lowing stats, with the whole "sharpply/drastically/harshly" thing.
 
They need to change 4x moves and 0.5x moves to something like "Ultra Effective" and "Barely Effective".

When we inevitably get a region based on Great Britain, they need to change the messages to these:

It's Super Effective! = I do say, it's rather effective.
It's not very effective... = It's quite uneffective.
4x effective = Cripes, it's indeed effective!
0.25x effective = Bother, it's not effective in the slightest.

So ridiculously polite that I like it in a weird way.

Even better if it came with voice acting! Maybe the guy who does Professor Layton for extra lols

I have the Arceus :p

My Ho-Oh's broken (the tail snapped off); I need to find a way of fixing it. I don't think glue will be enough...

Why did someone come up with the idea of having certain Pokemon only being catchable by fishing in a ripple.
Why are there Pokemon that only have a 5% chance of appearing in said situation.

I am not looking forward to that at all.

I have all of these... Are they actually worth a lot of money now?

The Japan only ones might be due to how rare they are. The one's that where released more widely like Lugia and Ho-oh aren't really worth much.

It would have cost me around $13 after shipping to get Arceus but then again that was when it was on sale for 20% off which is over now.

Ah righty, ill probably just keep hold of them then.
