A shocking revelation, I know, but it is the truth bros and broettes.

It seems like it was auto "A". And generally Gen V has faster text scroll.
It definitely wasn't that, I just did a random encounter in Black 2 and there's about a one and three-quarters second delay between the full text being visible and the game acting as if you pressed "a" and moving the battle forward for you.
My point was that, based on how the Gen VI encounter to full-battle speed has been shown, Gen I is noticeably faster than it at it's quickest. I wasn't directly comparing I and V with my post, only suggesting that all of the games should be on an even playing field if you're trying to draw comparisons.
Based on just the time it takes for the battle text to show up, it looks like the order would be: V>I>VI>III>IV>II

With that said, I find it weird that the "animated intros" is the cause of slow startup.
Oh my, two more weeks til hype~!

Anyone tried to use Volcarona in a play through? I'm finding it a real struggle right now

Besides "encounter to battle" speed, I think one should also take into consideration "action-to-action response" speed. Diamond and Pearl had it worst here, with what amounts to small loading gaps between just about each and every animation, action, and stuff. Fluidity is important in the feel of speed. Raw speed does not much good if it's choppy or have a lot of pauses visible. Not that Diamond and Pearl are anything fast...
All the fifth-generation games do very well in this regard, though.

Nope. Doesn't learn any good attacks until level 50, and Flamethrower isn't available by TM until you're almost at Victory Road. Someone else would have to teach it to yours.

Has anyone here actually caught every single Pokemon?

I never have but one day I'd like to try it just for kicks.
I'm hesitant to continue trying to do this until we get official word on backward compatibility; it's just far too time-consuming for me to try if I'm not able to transfer them to XY.

UltimateIke has, in every generation too if memory serves. Closest I've ever come is 460-some-odd/493 in Pearl, as I've never been committed enough to finish my Dex. Even my aforementioned highest count in Pearl was more of a serendipitous event, as my cousin traded me most of his Pokémon for safekeeping until they could be transferred to his copy of HeartGold.

Were you able to trade up in Black/White:?
ScraftyDevil

You could trade from Ruby and Sapphire all the way up to BW, provided you had at least 2 DS systems, one of which with a GBA slot. Anything pre-Gen III can only make it as far as Crystal, since hardware and software limitations prevented data from being transferred between GameBoys and GameBoy Advances.

I wonder, are we gonna get info next week if leaks are early.
PreyingShark
Member
The end of the 2nd week of August is the earliest we'll see any leaks. So yeah, next week assuming that's what you mean.
I did...
... in Blue. (not counting Mew)
Since then, I didn't bother anymore. Just got what I could. I'm terrible.

In a tournament match
Why does this Milotic have both Toxic and Hypnosis SHIT I CHOSE THE WRONG ONE (and forgot to give Cobalion his Air Balloon
)
Otherwise i could have actually beat this guy who's using 6 ubers. What is this I don't even-
EDIT: 1W 1L so far. Krookodile you're a real champ for getting a crit on that Mewtwo. ^_^
EDIT2: Could have legitly beat another Mewtwo if I hadn't chickened out with Haxorus and had used Outrage instead of EQ. ;_; EDIT3: I deserve to be shot for forgetting that my Haxorus isn't scarfed. -.-;
EDIT4: 3-2 and done. Could've had 5-0 if I had chosen the right Milotic and hadn't forgotten that a Focus Sash DD Haxorus can choose Outrage if it chose EQ last turn. It was fun, though!

How many games do you need to own to actually get all of them by yourself? I have Ruby, Emerald, Fire Red, DPP, HG, BW, and B2W2. It gets boring transferring them all into one single game.

I wonder how much of a blowout it is when it's the "scoop of the century for XY"

Plot details, a bunch of new Pokemon, and hopefully some new multiplayer reveals. I hope...
Also most of the Coro Coro reveals so far have been cute Pokemon but they revealed two non cute ones in the last issue, so I think this issue will contain some more badass Pokemon.
I'd love to see a rework of what moves don't affect certain types. I've been thinking this for a while, and seeing this picture makes it clear how stupid it is at the moment.
Certain attacks should still work. Rather than 'type x is immune to type y', I'd like for it to be determined by the move itself.

As in "Heathcliff"
BTW I managed to capture every SINGLE pokemon and organize storage system from 1 to 649, along with extra pokemon.
Well, I think you could get everything from HG/SS, B/W and B2/W2. I managed to skipped Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire because of B2W2. I don't really want to start over with Emerald since my relative erased my completed save.

I'd like to get some PokeGAFers on my 3DS friends list before X and Y come out, my friend code is

It would make things too complicated. It would be easier just to imagine that a flying-type would have no problem dodging that bone.
I don't post in here often, but I follow the thread, played a lot of B2W2 and am HYPED for X&Y, so I guess I'm sort of PokeGAF (haven't caught all the Pokemon though, stalled out around 450).
FC is 5327-1353-6553

Well for stuff like that they'll probably outright say that the attack would have no effect rather than showing the attack.
And I'd like to think that the flying type could avoid slow ground moves, I guess. Other stuff include Mud Shot and Mud Slap.

I've completed the Pokedex and have all of them in storage on Pokemon Black 2, except for Xatu... I have absolutely no idea where mine has gone.

Probably easier to make a per-case exception.
Check the Daycare and the Battle Box!

Have done, got a Scyther and a Ditto in the Day Care and the Battle Box is empty. I'm pretty sure my brother traded it to his game to breed for a Natu and simply forgot to give it back.
Doesn't Sand Attack fall into this category?
Boss Doggie

I honestly believe and ground type moves can be "swept" away.
ShmeebAlina
Member
I think you're right, though if I'm not mistaken this applies to all status moves, so it's still categorised. Pretty sure you can also use the ghost-type Confuse Ray on normal-types for example.
HiddenWings
Member
I think the only status move that doesn't conform to this is Thunder Wave. Technically also Toxic/Poison Gas, but Steel types are completely immune to poison. Ground types can still be paralyzed in other ways.
Cute Dragon Here
Member
I think status moves run on a different type chart and have more "exceptions" for some cases.
Charlie0108
Member
Poison and Steel are both fully immune to poisoning and Grass types can't be leech seeded.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I think Body Slam is the only move that can paralyze a Ground type? Or does Tri-Attack count too?
ShmeebAlina
Member
Good point with Thunder Wave and Leech Seed. So I guess the rule is attacking moves stick to the type chart, status moves do whatever.
