Kept missing my target frame for two days straight so I took a day off from Pokemon and got my desired spread on the first try tonight. 31/10/31/30/31/30 Timid Magnemite - feels good man.

Now to prep my 3.5 hour reset for Latios. x_x

Woo! Excellent thread! I'm going to have to work pretty hard just to make sure my R/S 10th anniversary thread doesn't look like crap in comparison!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Notice how I came up with some awesome ASCII anchors? That's how High Quality™ I got up in this biiitch~!

 

[MikeMyers]

How come Flareon learns Reflect in RBY but not now?

Raising a choice scarf magnezone?

How come Flareon learns Reflect in RBY but not now?

cuz gamefreak hates him.

I've finally bred myself a shiny Charmander. Ten boxes full of Charmanders later and this one pops up.

It's only the second shiny I have after Spiritomb. It's nature is modest.

Any ideas on the best way to EV train a modest Charmander? What's a good moveset? It knows Outrage from an egg move.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Oh ho ho ho~!

 

[MikeMyers]

Outrage isn't good on Modest Charizard because Modest lowers his Physical Attack.

I would try:

Sunny Day/Fire Blast/SolarBeam/Air Slash

 

[Professor Beef]

How come Flareon learns Reflect in RBY but not now?

Same reason Lance's Dragonite knew Barrier back then.

 

[MikeMyers]

What if we took the current metagame, but only allowed RBY Pokemon?

Ninetails would be amazingly broken as it would be the only weather-changer.

Weather wouldn't save Ninetails from an Earthquake, no matter what the gen restriction.

SolarBeam on the switch!

Me thinks Dragonite and Gyarados would get banished to Ubers if it was Gen I. only pokemon.

 

[EuroMIX]

Can I ask a random question? I'm playing the Pokémon White Deluxe hack and raising a Starly and the new 50 power Tackle is making me wonder if it's better to keep it or Quick Attack if I decide to get rid of one later. Any advice?

 

[MarkusRJR]

I'm kind of thinking about watching the 5th gen anime. What's the best one to watch, dub or sub? My main concern sub-wise is that the Pokemon names will be different and it'll throw me off when I play the games.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I can't believe I missed this last night. Pure aceness.

 

[Emitan]

So I see Wiseblade's cheating is revealed.

 

[ColtraineGF]

:3

In other news, I really need to work on the rest of the pokes I want to manipulate, but PetitCom is distracting me.

I've only watched the dubs, but I find them decent. If the names matter that much to you then you might prefer the subbed versions.

Hey guys, what's going on tod-

 

[LeleSocho]

why pink scouter?

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Has Wisey always been that awesome?

 

[OMG Aero]

Has Wisey always been that awesome?

He has always had to cheat to be awesome, yes.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

He has always had to cheat to be awesome, yes.

How many times would that be? xD

 

[Wiseblade]

Yes my awesomeness does surpass the limits of possibility from time to time.

I'd keep quick attack because of priority.

 

[Aggrotek]

As an amendment to my team, I was looking at Scolipede. Would he fit on my team well with this set up?

Scolipede
Focus Sash / Leftovers
Swarm

Guys should I go with trace or download for pory 2?

Keep in mind that I'd use it only for flat battles online.

What kind of silly question is this? Download.

...

Not really, Trace is far, far more fun (and useful). Enemy Salamence getting cocky? Intimidate it in the face. Vaporeon causing trouble? Absorb its Surf. Magnezone scaring your Steel-types? Trap it right back. Trace is amazing.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Raising a choice scarf magnezone?

Haven't decided on the set yet but a Steel Trapper should always be a useful option for my future teams. It also helps that egg moves aren't an issue for genderless Pokemon. Plus, I found an HP Fire Emerald spread that only requires IVs from a single parent so I can breed this Magnemite with w/e natured Dittos for future offspring. Will probably go for a Modest one later on.

Got my speed check Pokemon so

Southern Island

Latios is next! I don't want to use an ugly Master Ball on it so I hope it doesn't Struggle itself to death.

Sad day for me, I think I lost my SoulSilver. It was a fresh game (first gym) but I don't have money to spare to rebuy anything at this point.

Haha, I put it on my post at the bottom of the page and wondered if it would get missed.

I dunno? That's the color the pixel art I copied was. I could have made it more red. Vegeta is wearing a red one in that scene, right?

Ok i wasn't playing White for a loooong time before the session i started a while ago and only now i've noticed something... you can't battle again the other trainers/gym leader anymore? Am I stupid for not noticing something or what?

Now look of the perfection of my team it is a mix of beauty and coolness and it's not by any means a competitive team

Samurott
Hydreigon
Volcarona
Carracosta
Krookodile
Reuniclus

I've also decided to do a gen5 only team.

also i've yet to understand if Volcarona is a legendary pokémon or not...

 

[UltimateIke]

I'd say it's sort of like the starters. Extra rare because they don't appear in the wild, but they can be bred.

Bulbapedia also refers to it as a non-legendary.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Only arcanine is so cool to be referred as a legendary pokemon even if it isn't one.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

So I see Wiseblade's cheating is revealed.

Finally, the truth is out there!

 

[Wiseblade]

Please, like I need to cheat. You all can just keep holding those Ls to your chests.

 

[Professor Beef]

If anything, those IVs prove that only Wiseblade is fit to rule.

 

[Emitan]

Ls?

 

[Professor Beef]

Ls?

Ws and Ls = Wins and Losses.

First post in this thread, but I've been playing Black version for the past couple of weeks and just got the final badge. My pokemon were higher levels than all of Drayden's? dragons, but damn they were tough to take down. I also just caught the virizion and the other legendary. Plan on using virizion to challenge the E4 since I'm lacking grass and fighting.

I really enjoy this game tho. I picked up Platinum when it came out, but I never got into it and I didn't even finish it. B/W reminds me a lot of the original RBY, and I'm glad the pokemon were all new compared to some of the previous generations that include the older pokemon before you beat the E4.

I have no clue about EVs or competitive battling, but it seems like a lot of work and time to raise them certain ways. It is interesting though!

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Welcome and please finish Platinum. It's a pretty great game.

How so? Black and White's Pokemon style are a lot different.

 

[UltimateIke]

Maybe when you're a lion-tiger-dog, you get to call yourself what you want?

The anime decided to run with it in the second episode. Even though something like Dragonite would have been a better fit at the time.
