I always think of Sloth in Fullmetal Alchemist when I think of Slaking. He could move in super fast bursts too.

I'm rewatching Yu Yu Hakusho and Hiei had to "recharge" after using his Black Dragon. Must have Slaking syndrome.
Slaking is in my top 3 favorite Pokemon. Just a great Pokemon.

Pleasantly surprised the nostalgia thread on Gaming side hasn't turned into Gen Wars (yet.) =)

It's always fun to be reminded of a certain Pokemon you don't really pay much attention to, and looking up information about it to refresh your mind. There's quite a few Pokemon who I still feel a sense of unfamiliarity with every time I see them even though they've been around for a long time, and it's always fun to have a moment of "oh, on second thought that's kind of a cool Pokemon."
This happened for me with Grumpig the other day. Such a weird Pokemon I literally never hear brought up. Spoink I fondly remember being it's cute and has that dark PokeDex entry, but its evolution is another matter...I still don't get exactly why the Psychic Pig Pokemon has this "dancing" motif to it that controls others, it's such an odd theme to put with it.

What nostalgia thread?
Also I laugh at people hating on Archeops due to Defeatist, completely forgetting what it does.

Come on Doggie, behave. I like the newer games just as much as the older ones, maybe even more, but I think you can be a bit brash when it comes to Pokemon discussions. 
Everyone's exhausted from the gen wars in the Newtwo thread. I guess there's a brief window immediately after a gen wars thread fizzles out when you can have a metered discussion about Pokemon.

Heh, I (thankfully) seem to have completely missed the Mewnew thread. One bullet dodged I suppose.

Sometimes the Braviary must peck on the Caterpies.
And sometimes the Probopass snores.

I think the chart is wrong about EV berries in Gen 5. I'm pretty sure only 10 EVs are ever deducted. It was only Gen IV that dropped EVs to 100.
Where do you even get those berries in gen 5?
Pokemon Dreamworld I think?

You can also win them from the 10th area of the Black Tower/White Treehollow.
I think the Flower Shop in Join Avenue can have them too, after a certain rank.

Berry Pots were one of the best parts of HGSS. I think I actually missed them more than walking Pokémon in BW >_>

Oh, and you can buy some of them every day in Black 2/White 2. Even more if you use Join Avenue.

I waited to hear what they had to say about Arcanine before I decided if I should post it or not. Haha.

Do they mention anything about The Greatest Pokémon There Ever Was And Ever Will Be?
I'm writing a paper into the wee hours of the morning and I want to know if the distraction will be worthwhlie ;P

I figured as much. I guess I can stop listening to this for the hundredth time and move on to something new and exciting.
Aww man. I love Tropius, though. He's like Meganium, but somehow much cooler.
Tropius is cool but being cooler than Meganium isn't very hard.
Well okay, so the Chikorita line is the dud in the Johto starters, but I meant that Tropius was like what I feel they were going for with that line at the time. Iunno.
Just sad that another one of my favorites turned out to be no good. I'm pretty bad at choosing Pokemon that are good competitively. I think the only lucky stroke I ever had was liking Espeon when Gen V gave it Magic Bounce.
Magic Bounce is a pretty cool ability. A lot of Dream World abilities are really fun to use. I can't wait to see what they come up with for Gen 6 abilities.
Espeon is definitely my favorite Gen II Pokemon aside from Cyndaquil line.
Mine are probably Azumarill and Scizor who also happen to have pretty cool abilities.
Meganium is awesome.
It's a pretty good Special Wall in GSC too, too bad its outclassed by Snorlax...who is like on every GSC OU team ever.
Man Pokemon would be amazing if they simply made it slightly more customizable.
How would you guys feel if they let you set your Pokemon's ability through a drop down menu and could thus switch it at will?
Or having a Pokemon being able to remember every move it learns and instead of "forgetting" an old move to learn a new move you select which 4 moves to equip.

That would be crazy good no game would implement it. Then again... I can dream, right?
Boss Doggie

Not unless Braviary Superpowers it!
It's really great, but I kinda wish people would say that EVs can be "removed" even at lv100 because it doesn't rely on level ups anymore.
I always wished Pokemon could remember all the moves they ever learned or at least give them 8-10 move slots. *dreams*
And I will never give up on my dream of them introducing an item in-game that gives an unevolved Pokemon the stats of its evolved form, so that you can keep your favourite Pokemon unevolved but have the stats of its evolved form. (Then my trusty Psyduck would at least get Golduck's stats and Oshawott could stay cute but have Samurott's stats. *__*)

That's what EVs are for
Also in-game changing abilities is just broken. Not as broken as using both abilities at the same time, but broken nonetheless.

I'm actually a bit sad that the new mystery dungeon doesn't grant both abilities at once like the old ones did. It was kind of broken, so it's probably for the best.

Yeah.
Fuck Bronzor and Bronzong in PMD2.
Also I guess it's also because of hidden abilities existing. How does PMD3 handle hidden abilities?
My team right now is as follows:
Volcarona lv60
Serperior lv 68
Zebstrika lv 68
Braivery lv66
Haxorus lv 63
Starmie lv 60
At this point, there's nobody left to fight except for Cynthia and the league, both of which are in the mid 70s. Are my options at this point grinding/getting my ass kicked by them?

Cynthia and the E4 rematch are very beatable at your levels, you just need good strategy and preparation--potions, revives, etc. You got some top tier Pokes there. Shouldn't be hard.
I beat both at lower average levels with crappier Pokemon.

How come no one is talking about this months coro coro. Are we just sure its gonna be more mewtwo stuff? Or has it been confirmed that there would be no info? Also this has got to be the most drip fed pokemon gen.
