Well, was TCG 2 even that big of a deal? It only added one set, irc.

TCG2 mostly just came out at a bad time. It released the week after the GBA in Japan and since it's predecessor took 14 months to bring to the US (and two years for Europe!) the card list would have been outdated by the time it got here along with being on obsolete hardware.

So I'm playing Soul Silver for the first time. Boy I forgot that their are barely any good Pokemon to catch that are great all the way to the end of the game. I'm three badges in and only have a Golbat and Croconaw and plan on getting a Vulpix. Does anyone else feel this way? Or is it just me?

Gen 2 is devoid of useful Pokemon, so no you are not alone.

Scizor
Ambipom
Skarmory
Mamoswine
Yanmega
Tyranitar

There's 6, right off the top of my head. Although Gen II probably had the worst Pokémon in terms of stats, there are still quite a few viable choices.

 

[Professor Beef]

Oh hey I didn't know you could get all of them before beating the first 8 gym leaders.

Maybe not Tyranitar, but the out of the remaining 5, 3 are obtainable before you fight Chuck, and the other 2 before you fight Claire.

worse music tho

I may have "TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE" as my ringtone, but the music in MvC2 is ASS. Gen 2's music is not.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Whoa whoa whoa. I like "Take You For a Ride" as much as the next guy, but if you're telling me that that song and the friggin' lounge muzak that serves as the stage themes beats masterpieces like this, this, or this, you are mistaken.

 

[Supermanisdead]

i never noticed pokemon music except the pokemon centre. but mvc2 had some sweet elevator music.

I just read a tweet from a GF employee who claims that BW2 will have nothing to do with the Hoenn region.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Dopes who thought otherwise were deluding themselves.

I'm not angry because no Hoenn, I'm upset because this means we'll have to wait until Gen VI to get R/S remakes.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Well that was always the case anyways even without BW2.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Well that was always the case anyways even without BW2.

Junichi Masuda indicated late last year that he was interested in doing Gen III remakes, and I guess it just got my hopes up a bit too much.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Well, there's still some chance remaining.

Matsumiya just mentioned that there's no sense in going to Hoenn in B2W2 when the words Ruby/Sapphire aren't even in the title.

Umm it was inevitable whether Mausda teased it or not... And anyways yeah, he wanted to do remakes, not cram Hoenn into BW2

Isn't Wobbufet still supposed to be ridiculously powerful? And Blissey?

Anybody playing Pokemon Conquest? I can't beat the freaking Gem Nation Leader. I decimate his team, but he just stands there on the flag invincible.

Yeah, I'd hate for him to ruin Hoenn by not giving it the full focus it deserves as the best region.

Larvitar is catchable in the Safari Zone

I can see that, the voices are beyond annoying. But this card game is really good.

That Throh vs. Sawk battle was pretty cool. Nicely animated, too.

Been playing through the rom hack Purewhite, it's really fun so far. Nice difficulty and every Pokemon is available in some way.

Anyone else tried some of the B/W rom hacks out there?

I've been playing a lot of the most recent one Volt white. I just came from an Epic battle against gym leader Skyla.


She used: Skarmory, Gliscor, Swanna, Acheops, Braviary, and Mandibuzz levels 50 to 57 in a 3v3 battle.

After hours of getting pummeled, I ended up beating her with: Emboar 72, Dusknoir 42, Magnezone 37, Absol 45, Skarmory 39, Meganium 32.

I am a simpleton who insist on fighting with my starter only; I had to change that because there is no way the Pig of Hell was gonna get pass that bird by his Almighty self. So he picked his best minions, but they were of no use to him; so he bent other more powerful allies to his will(Dusknoir M-zone and Skarmory). They helped him take the birds down.

So he's good for now but what does the future hold? the elite four? but... unspeakable horrors, level 90 Pokemon! Do they have what it takes to beat them, or the last 2 gym leaders for that matter?

 

[Ondore]

The Elite 4 does have L90 Pokemon in the

rematch

Masuda's going to be on Smash next week playing BW2, with a battle of the Kyurems.

Kinda confirms that Coro Coro's going to have substantial info.

 

[upandaway]

I checked and it seems I can create a full Pokedex (as in, one of every ## of Pokemon) aside from the gen 5 unobtainables between all my games

I'm torn on whether I should really go for it, as opposed to just getting the Pokeball icon on the Pokedex and settling with that.
I already have about 400 of them (not counting those I need to level up, so it's probably around 500) between all my saves from my last attempt.

Man, decisions. I just don't know. Should I? Should I just get the in-game certificate? Argh. My PC box would look so nice but it'll be so tedious. Of course if I'm doing it I'll be getting every Pokemon myself, no help through trading or whatever.

I'll probably just give up midway again... transferring all the Pokemon over would be take the most time.

It'd probably be best to take your time and build it casually, doing it all in one go is sure to burn you out. Especially since you're mostly done already.

Wait, then the CoroCoro will be leaked before the one next week, right? I think it'll just have what they're gonna announce tomorrow + a bit extra.

There's also the Mareep line, and you can pick up Heracross in Azalea once you get Headbutt. Pinsir/Scyther is also relatively early with the contest.

Yeah, I definitely have to agree that there's some issues. I think my SS run was just Feraligatr, Ampharos and Heracross.
