Yep.
I'd take Oshawott over Piplup any day.

So I just finished The Power of One, and at the very end of the credits, the music was very familiar. A quick check of iTunes media, indeed, confirmed my suspicions: I have that song on my media all along.

Piplup was that bad?

Am I the only person liking that particular penguin?

Arcanine is boss. What set do you run? I use a Life Orb set with Flare Blitz/Wild Charge/Close Combat/ExtremeSpeed. It's a bit of a self-destructive set, but gets loads of kills.
I need to actually make a singles team. With Storm Drain Maractus finally being available in B2/W2, I should make a start. I still don't know who my 6th team member will be, though. I'm thinking Rotom.
Also I'll be getting the mono-Poison team I posted in the last thread - some of the Pokémon I want to use aren't in B1/W1, and I can't be bothered to get and migrate them from 4th gen. Plus an easier method of obtaining Sheer Force Nidoking doesn't hurt either.

I almost always use that identical set, but I traded around a couple of weeks ago until I found someone willing to give me a Growlithe from B2/W2 that had Outrage and Close Combat. I gave my new Arcanine Outrage in place of ExtremeSpeed, and last night I tried it out. I got a OHKO on a Salamence to end a match, so it was worth it, even if just for that one battle. Haha.

I point you to the entirety of the Diamond and Pearl series.
So shrill and annoying.

Have you ever wondered whether we'll go exchanging friend codes for the games when B2W2 is out?

There'll be an FC link in the OP, just like the last one way back.

And it better be cross-linked from this thread's OP, too. Just saying
Also, the OP's font link is now 404.

It is, mostly. There are occasional flare-ups, but they tend to get resolved.
Stick us in your subs!

Heh. The most important part is to not really have to remind yourself. If something's good, you'll automatically post in it. Take this community thread for example. I almost always find something to talk about here, so post away I am.
Gosh yes, at least Oshawott doesn't stay out of it's pokeball all the bloody time plus it's way more endearing with it's behavior since it's not half as stuck up.

Don't listen to them. This place will leave you a soul less husk. You'll only become part of the hive mind and start thinking things like Gen 3 is great, Flareon needs more love and...and...well stuff!
except 4th

fuckin' called it, man
Wha... I put like 130 hours into Platinum so 4th gen can't be that bad.

Gen 5's the best cause Pokegen
Mechanically the game gets stronger each gen, though I didn't really get into gen 2's meta game and I really did not like playing through that version of Johto. I also don't like Hoenn but luckily FR/LG and the GCN games are Gen 3.
Gen IV fixed Johto in my mind and I love Sinnoh, but B/W and Unova are on a whole new plane of awesome.

...it will? Figured it would be easier....aside from possibly the ability thing.
It's just a technical thing.
More chance to pass natures and abilities means it will be harder to figure out your starting frame when RNGing an egg.
The only Gen that was better than the last was Gen II.

Even though I'm horrible at it, I tried to RNG myself a shiny Rockblast Skill Link Shellder today. I hoped for a miracle.
The miracle never happen.
I give up. I just want my Ragequit Cloyster... T^T

Naive, and with Rock Blast if you would so, so kindly please.
I could probably make a 5less shiny shellder for ya, though that may take some time. I don't think I have any other request for now.

It feels like Skill Link Cloyster, Wash Rotom, and Garchomp are on every team I play against online. They're all so very common.

Yep, they're making it really hard not to use OU mons

Cloyster has always been my favourite water type, I bet these fools are just pretenders who have no real love for the Bivalve Beast.
