It still bugs me that someone felt the need to mutate the word during the transmission. "Geewun" rolls off the tongue far better and sounds a bit less like an aardvark is saying it.

It's mostly because the "classic" Transformers are called G1 later on, thus "GeeWunner". Pokemon fans just rolled along with it. Just pronounce it as Gen1 but add "er" to the end.

Only reason PokeTransfer isn't as bad is because you can do it over and over in quick succession. PalPark... Oh boy.
I think Pokeshifting might have been worse.

You don't have to exit out to the title screen between each batch so Pokeshifting is much quicker. The game itself is really short once you get the hang of it, too. Much shorter than Pokepark.
Bringing over my Ditto army still made me want to shoot myself.

Why wouldn't you? I'll be there on Day 1.
I laughed
day 1 baby. I don't know if I will subscribe forever, but year 1 is a lock, at least.
I think it was confirmed to be that little.
haha is this from a LP?

Its confirmed to be 500 yen. Which should be $5.
I love the concept of it but I don't think I have enough use for it. If there's an web or phone interface for managing Pokemon though they'll have my money so fast... All my Pokemon will be in the cloud with that.
Definitely getting PokeBank.
Does anyone's copy of SS/HG freeze when navigating the Pokedex? It freezes often for some reason. I'm playing on a DS Lite, though it shouldn't matter, but I think the DS Lite is the problem.
Nah, you just need to get used to that mini-game. I find it all right once you get the hang of it.
Pal Park is a pain in the ass because you have to go to the title screen and you may have to run around for a long time till a Pokemon shows up. And then there is that annoyance when you forget to bring a Pokemon that knows Surf.

Sure After using pokecheck to keep clones of my favorites available for black 1 and 2.
Definitely. It'll provide space to house a living dex without sacrificing usability of the storage system in-game. No more sacrificing all but two boxes!
The fact it should make transferring between games easier and provide an easy way to store Pokemon before restarting is just a bonus.
I find it amazing that my breloom will still be in my team. And its been eleven years mang
Sapphire -> FireRed -> Emerald -> LeafGreen -> Pearl -> HeartGold -> White -> White 2 -> and next month, Y.
It's been a long ride, maybe one day he will return back to Hoenn
Wish I could say the same with my peeps from Yellow. But they are stuck in Silver

I definitely will, especially If I can duplicate pogeymans. I'm glad they finally found a transfer solution that doesn't require 2 systems, it also means that if I want to transfer pokemon between 2 games I don't have to go through the hellish process of repeat trading/transfer minigames.
I hated having to transfer all of my pokemon from my Japanese copy of white when I got B2W2, to say nothing of transferring my living pokedex and legendary collection from Gen IV to W2. Having a Zekrom named Susanoo and a shiny Kyurem named Tsukuyomi in Japanese was totally worth it though. I still want a Reshiram named Amaterasu.
I can't help but wonder if this is a testing ground/ flagship service for more cloud-based features in future Nintendo games.

I'm sensing a pattern here...
Haha, man. That made me smile.

Shin Megami Tensei rubbed off a little too well and now I have an insatiable urge to name all of my Pokemon after mythological and pop-culture figures.
PS. Nicknaming my next Giratina (I have 8) either Ha' Satan, Izanami or Ahriman
I don't think I'll be using the bank. I'm not that "hardcore" of a player to have Pokemon to transfer between games (in fact, I've never done so), and I actually like thinking of new gens as completely fresh starts. Maybe much farther down the road, if I get obsessed enough with the game to actually need the storage space or if Pokemon XY2/Z makes me use it for some reason.

Count yourself lucky they are still there ;_; My silver save battery died long, long ago.
Dusk and Premier would be the top two. I'd say Dusk just due to their availability.
Actually, TRUKK NOT MUNKY was a joke among Beast Wars fans. It made fun of the hyperbolic reactions of stupid Gen 1 Transformers fans to Beast Wars having animal transformations. There was actually a specific post that started the joke in which someone complained that Optimus Primal wasn't a truck.

Definitely! There's no way I'm going to continue transferring my Pokemon one or six at a time, when I can just send entire boxes to the cloud to download to any game. I've been wanting something like this for years.
I just moved all my DPP/HGSS Pokemon over to W2 in anticipation of their eventual move to the bank. Pretty awesome I'll still be able to use my Feraligatr from 7 YEARS AGO in X/Y. And I see people in this thread will still be able to use Pokemon from even longer ago. It's weird feeling attached to digital files, but I feel the same way about some old papers I've got on computer.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
But that thread is for the first 251.
I always find it interesting how there's hardcore Gen 1 fans, then there's the Johto fans who are like "hey bros, we're the true sequel, everything else afterwards doesn't count, original 251 forever!" and try to fit in with the former.
But I really don't see a problem with that thread, it's no different from the *classic* threads of other series like Mario and Metroid.
And every generation has weirdo fans who are close-minded, in fact it's according to /vp/
Genwunners
Johtofreaks (well, it's actually a gay slur I've seen used, which I don't like, so here's a softer version)
Hoennbabbies
There are no Gen 4 fans
Unovabortions
There's no problem now.
Originally it rubbed people the wrong way because it was titled "Pokémon Classic Community", implying this thread doesn't already serve that function.
lol

the thread over there is neutral for now, but you know the intent is very transparent
Both extremes of Pokemon fans annoy me.
If someone came into this thread saying the original 151/251 were clearly the best and that GameFreak had run out of ideas for designs, I'd laugh. Likewise, when certain people attack Gen I & II, saying that the games are dated and slow and that the Pokemon designs are boring, I find that hilarious as well.

I ran into my very first shiny pokemon. Audino. I've been spending hours outside the daycare breeding and leveling pokemon. It figures this would be the one I'd get.
What are some cities in any Pokémon games that you feel are obnoxiously hard or just seem like a drag to go through.
Fortree City has to be my least favorite to go to. Can't run on boardwalk things. You have to use the boardwalk things to get to the other side, no other easier way.
Sootopolis City has to be second due to one thing: surfing. "Hey, let's not make bridges and require one to surf in order to get around town."
Cerulean City just loves to block your way from getting to places, it's like they wanted to make things difficult. Thankfully HG/SS fixed that issue by making it more friendly.
Humilau City is a weird one. It's easy to go through underneath the homes, but going on the boards they've placed is just annoying. It really isn't hard, and I'm being picky, but I just don't like the way is is laid out.
I'm sure there's more that I didn't remember yet.
I don't hate French-speaking people! I just find it fitting because of your avatar.

That is nice. I am noticing that more Gen 4 fans are starting to be vocal about their love for the generation. They were so rare some years ago.
Gen I, Gen IV and Gen V are my favorites, though I have a feeling Gen VI will easily surpass all of them
no one asked
