New WiFi Tournament!
http://pglhelp.pokemon.com/en/gbu/autumn_friendly_2012/

Also, probably the last shameless plug I'll do unless something else cool pops up, but we're starting Season 1 of our tournament circuit on Nugget Bridge this Sunday.

http://nuggetbridge.com/news/nugget-bridge-rankings-season-1-begins/

There'll be weekly live tournaments, a major tournament, and some other wide tournaments. It's built as a way for players to practice and get better for the actual competitions. It also gives you the chance to play some really great players! I know we've got winners/finalists of the World Championships, Japanese Nationals, US Nationals, Canadian Nationals, and more who'll probably be entering. Also nobodies like me (well not this weekend because I'll be at PAX but yeah!).

Also gives you a reason to make a team 'cause you'll have both the WiFi tournament and these tournaments to play in!

And the Digimon anime was kilometres ahead of the Pokemon anime. Yeah that's right I used metric and spelled it with an re.

Man, have baby pokemon ever added anything useful? I mean, a few of them are kind of cute, but all they really do is remove the possibility of a proper 3 stages from the line. I guess a few of them added moves to the evolved forms' movepools, but was anything added even useful?

Munchlax has better Special Defense than Snorlax when equipped with the Eviolite, and can't be outsped in Trick Room.

Your avatar is pretty moe though.

Wobbuffet appreciated getting Encore added to his move pool.

Good morning everyone! How are you doing toda-

Yeah, he's not right there. That title goes to Wiseblade.

Kings have followers as well.

I support Wiseblade, Piplup is the best Sinnoh Starter.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Prediction time!

When will 6th Gen going to be announced?

Next spring, for release next autumn in Japan.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

I still like to think that Turtwig could beat the other two starters. Right?

 

[Wiseblade]

Nope. Empoleon outspeeds Torterra and hits with 4xSE Ice Beam. Infernape outspeeds and hits with a SE and STAB boosted Flare Blitz.

 

[Exterminieren]

Of course, get a Trick Room set up, and Torterra crushes with STAB SE Earthquake.

 

[Wiseblade]

Of course, get a Trick Room set up, and Torterra crushes with STAB SE Earthquake.

Even that doesn't really work since Empoleon is bulky enough to take Torterra's EQ and OHKO back. And even the "What about Focus Sash?" argument doesn't really work, since Empoleon has Aqua Jet to finish him off.

 

[UltimateIke]

But what if Torterra is in Trick Room, has a Choice Band, and gets a critical hit? Hmmm? Bet you didn't think of that! Not even a Shuca Berry would save you! Lol. WHAT IF ALL THE ODDS ARE STACKED AGAINST YOU?

Then Empoleon equips a Focus sash and makes that all irrelevant.

I was waiting for Air Balloon, but that works too.

 

[Younicorn]

Totally unrelated, but Pokecheck appears to be down.

Here.

It went down yesterday, around 6:00 PM PST, and hasn't been back up since - now I'm getting the "404 Not Found" error - I'm worried it'll be down for an extended length of time and I'd love to check the IV's of a few hatched Pokemon.

Has it been down for an elongated amount of time before?

Does anyone have any insight into why it's down? Was it planned?

 

[Frost_Ace]

I still don't know what's the purpose of that site, just to check IVs?

 

[Younicorn]

I still don't know what's the purpose of that site, just to check IVs?

Check exact IV's - also to verify that certain Pokemon are legit.

I've just never seen it go down for this long before. I figured I'd ask if anyone knew in case it's just routine maintenance.

 

[Exterminieren]

Hey, that battle in the anime this morning was really cool.

Spoiler

Krokorok evolving, and Dragonite going apeshit with Ash having to put it down.

Probably Best Wishes' best battle so far.

Yeah, that was friggin' sweet.

Spoiler

Is it just me, or do Krookodile's sunglasses evolve with him?

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Y'know, you guys are talking about battling, but... I'm more of an adoraaaaaableness guy. Turtwig is chubby cute.

I used to think Wisey was pretty cool. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked...

Well played.

You get Pokedex 3D, and then look me in the eye and tell me Dwebble isn't the cutest thing ever.

Best animation in the pokedex 3D for sure.

 

[Wiseblade]

Alright, seriously... What is the deal with the "K"s?

 

[Exterminieren]

Killers-GAF and PokéGAF have a fair bit of crossover.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Alright, seriously... What is the deal with the "K"s?

I'd been on a trail for a little while
, but that was the night that she broke down and held my hand.

 

[Desmond]

Hey guys, I found my first ever shiny in the wild, after God knows how many years,



Shiny Snorlax. I shall cherish him.

Something about a stupid band or something.

Looks like heaven.

The more I look at that picture the less sense it makes.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

The fact that the picture uses cross-generational sprites makes me RAGE.

 

[Chet Rippo]

The more I look at that picture the less sense it makes.

You don't remember Ganondorf in Ruby and Sapphire?

 

[UltimateIke]

Somebody posted one of those charts before without explanation. What is it all about? It has fusions of Pokemon, a Digimon, a Sonic enemy, and Ganondorf. I could take a guess at what the chart was if it wasn't for all that.

It's his favorite Pokemon for each type in each new generation.

 

[UltimateIke]

That's what I figured, but what's the deal with the non-Pokemon stuff? Placeholders for types where you don't have a favorite?

Yes.

 

[Neki]

The chart makes less and less sense as you look at it, it's like a mind trick.

 

[HiddenWings]

Mostly this, but I like Gen 3 bug and dark.

 

[PK Gaming]

i get the impression you don't like poison types

BTW did you make that chart by yourself or is there a chart generator online?
