Even replacing Ghost with Fighting, Dark still has the advantage by being immune to Psychic rather than just resistant. Not a big difference, in some ways, but it's still there.
Dark being immune to Psychic makes the triangle lopsided.

They could totally do starters that evolved into dual-type Water/Psychic, Fire/Dark, Grass/Fighting.
That way Water beats Fire, Fire beats Grass, and Grass beats Water, but when they evolve Psychic is weak to Dark, Dark is weak to Fighting, and Fighting is weak to Psychic.

Rock > Flying > Grass, no?
who is going to pick the rock starter, that's worse than the fire starter

I got done setting up my wireless router at my new place with WPA, but I was thinking about switching to WEP for Pokemon. I'm trying to think if it's worth it though, since I'm not even really playing Black anymore but mainly because I couldn't connect my DS to the internet.
Just do what me and Zeroth do, switch it when we need to use it for pokemon, lol.

But Conquest and XD already did thaaaaaat...
Starters should be Grass/Flying, Fire/Rock and Water/Fighting for extra lulz.
Oh right, forgot abut those console games.

I'm sharing the net with others though since I'm living with my family for the time being, so that's not an option.

So, no DSi/3DS?
Professor Beef
Banned
Don't have enough to upgrade to a DSi, and have no interest in a 3DS.
Someone answer this for me, instead: besides battling/trading, is there any real reason to need online for Black/White?

if you're not interested in dream world abilities/berries/certain pokemon, then no.

Eh, I don't really care that much about Dream World abilities. Well...the Pokemon I'm interested in have worse DW abilities than their normal ones, at least.
Thanks everyone. I'll try to find a library or something since every single one I've been to has had a WEP connection.

Infernape annoyed me because it was pretty much "here's Blaziken again, only slightly better making Blaziken completely useless." Fortunately, Speed Boost managed to return Blaziken to its rightful place.
And while we're talking about starters, does anyone else feel like Empoleon got super-screwed in terms of its trio? I'm not talking competitively or anything, but in match-ups versus its peers. I mean, you have the grass starter slamming it with its ground type, and from the other side you have the fire starter and its fighting type. Meanwhile, Infernape and Torterra's typings work out fine against the other two starters, while Empoleon can only hit Infernape with supereffective STAB moves. Just seems like they were about to make a double circle of sorts, but then decided to screw Empoleon instead.

Eh, I always found Infernape overhyped even in competitive play. Great movepool, but he never gets full coverage. And once the surprise factor wears off, I find him easy to check. And while 104 is pretty good offensive stats, I don't really see it as sweeper material. Sure he has Nasty Plot/Swords Dance, but he can't really take a hit. Not to mention Rain is omnipresent now.
I mean, he's good and worthy of OU, but not that amazing.
I have a friend who majored in computer security and according to him WEP is pretty simple to crack. He hasn't paid for internet in years.
Ok, i guess i'll be Pokegafs Zoroark.

I think it's offset by Empoleon getting ice moves. While it doesn't get STAB for those moves, they are 4x effective against Torterra whereas both Torterra and Infernape get 2x super effective moves against their counters.
Looks cool, I used to watch that show when I was younger.
Wanna PM me on what the best DBZ game for DS is, BTW?
ha!

Is this one of those Pokemon rip-offs you see them selling at dodgy market stalls? Looks impressive for its kind

It's like off-brand, happy shopper Aldi Pokémon.
There is a reason why it is dead.
Maybe but he was a great wall breaker. Physical, special, all in the same set.
Yeah that is true, Close Combat + Fire Blast takes out Tyranitar/Chansey + Skarmory/Foretress.

So Mew won that contest?
Are we getting him as a prize?

And a Mew T Shirt as well at the store called Hot Topic.
Hot Topic, eh? So it's gonna be Mew high-fiving Stewie from Family Guy?

Mew T-Shirt needs to have Mew with an eyeliner or bust
Yeah I looked it up, only on weekends.
Need to get my Lucario at Level 100 though, only 55 so far. Then again, I only got him yesterday.
I usually play lots and lots until I stop playing because something else happens and never come back

What is that Arcanine planning to do in the event Gyarados is KO'd?

Run on the water with Extremespeed.

I was imagining something more along the lines of "hope Gyarados's lifeless body still floats," but let's be optimistic and hope your idea would work too. It's always nice to have a back-up plan.
