Bad moves = unexpected moves = surprises.
Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up.
Special Attacking Gyarados sets always make me laugh, I remember seeing it take out Cloyster and Skarmory and laughing at how random it was.

But can he stand up against cuteness overload?
I wonder whether messed-up movesets could come in handy...
Cuteness Who?
Mixed Gyarados is really just a gimmick but Thunder in the Rain hits the likes of Bulky Waters and Skarmory, where as Earthquake even without full investment can still hit Tyranitar and especially Ninetails for good damage anyway. Fire Blast can hit Ferrothorn but the Rain will weaken that anyway,
Still, I wouldn't recommend it.

Cuteness Who!
Huh. Then again, I've already had enough of the current competitive landscape anyway.
The set I remember was Earthquake/Ice Beam/Thunder/Fire Blast @ Life Orb on a Rain Team. Earthquake hit Ninetails and Tyranitar (the main opposing weather starters), while Thunder hit omnipresent Water types, and Fire Blast hit through Ferrothorn, while Ice Beam is filler for random Dragons. It can work as a surprise but it wont sweep teams, especially with lack of STAB and Gyarados' average speed. Plus, with the metagame changes in BW2, I don't even know if this would even make for a decent surprise. But still, it was a fun set to use.

Favorite trading card, go!
I don't know about/never collected any of the cards past the Gym Challenge set.
I actually found this particular card in a box of my belongings the other day, so that's why it's on my mind.

I swear that movelist resembles the ones I use with my Pokemon and I don't even play competitively.
I swore I've had Swift miss on me a few times. AI cheats.

If you could catch literal ghosts, the game would be in a completely different...
Gengar is a literal ghost.

Doesn't catch Ghost Marowak either.
One day I will catch Ghost/Ground Marowak.

Hey, you're back! Long time no see!
I mentioned Gen III's awesome music on page 1, and we did visual rankings of generations (including music) near the end of the last thread. That's about it as of recently, though. October needs to come faster so I can gush about BW2's music
I did make that first half of the 8bit music, but I didn't get to the next part yet as I didn't feel like it. I like to listen to the music again to become more familiar with it so I'm not just going by memories, and I don't want to miss any of the ones I like so it's a little time consuming.
I'll finish it eventually.

As good as BW2's music is, sometimes I wish they went full on streamed music. DS audio hardware is showing its age, and the title screen music is on a completely different league from everything else in the same game. Why? It's prerecorded!

B2W2 came on 512 MB and lots of wasted space.
That's unique, but that actually still wouldn't be enough for mp3 styled soundtracks. Pokemon has a lot of music, 12 songs could reach up to nearly(if not) 200 MB.

Then again, there's a lot of layering around in BW and B2W2, too, so... but then again, audio compression, but then again, obsolete hardware ruining streamed audio quality if compressed.
No wonder.
(Should've went with at least all the battle tracks.)

It also runs in 15 fps. Compromises, man.

I think Game Freak pulled every last bit of juice they could out of the DS with BW2. It's pretty damned impressive, considering the amount of assets they use.

I noticed your last post in the old thread didn't seem to indicate you were aware the thread was ending, Professor Maple. Haha.

I absolutely do.
I also think that Japan will have a new gen coming out in a year at the latest.

Truly new gen, B3W3, or remake?

Truly new gen.
Hell, they might adhere to the BW2 timetable and have it imminent in the West this time next year.

It's like they are not able to stop making games, and that might be a good thing. :3

The way they've totally blown through the event legendaries, both in Japan and in the West, says to me they're prepping for a new batch next year. There is no other reason why they're giving away Genesect in such a throwaway manner.
Serebii agrees with me, too.

This gen might be the shortest gen ever, as a whole.

That's what comes when the gen is started in the last year of a dying platform.
They had to make sure they sold off the rest of their DS systems currently in the market.

I wonder whether DS sales has already squeaked past the PS2.

I understand why Game Freak put BW2 on DS, but Nintendo will almost certainly be regretting it. Particularly NoA next month.
DS is a few millions behind, but it's tapered off. PS2 is still selling well in developing countries.
