A Pokemon and Monster Hunter crossover would sell so hard it would make the amount of Wii sales at launch date seem petty.

You can take down anything with Whimsicott.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
So, I'm filling up my boxes to capacity so that I'm not forced to catch Reshiram as part of the story. Simple enough.
Then the total capacity of the storage system spontaneously doubles.

First time I went up against Red in HGSS I'm pretty sure I was more than 25 levels under him.
Pikachu swept the whole team, IIRC.

Why don't you want to catch it?

Holding off on RNGing the thing until I have a need to actually use it. Not to mention I don't think I can import all of my utility Pokemon for catching until the post-game anyway.
I only play Pokemon in one of two possible ways: completely OCD or not at all. >_>
When you battle N you can check the stats and make an approximation of the ivs so you can know if you hit the seed or not, there's no need to go through that bullshit

So which game is easiest obtain Shinies in? There are some Pokemon I wouldn't mind having a Shiny version of.
RNGing (From what I read on Smogon) sounds complicated. How did they figure it out?

Platinum, use the Poké Radar to chain together shaking bushes.
If you want one that has to be bred, then Black or White might be better, I think they made the odds of breeding a shiny better if you use the Masuda method.
Probably ROM hacking.
IIRC it was originally discovered when breeders in Emerald noticed they were getting the same IV spreads over and over again. Someone looked into it, and bam.
Black and White are easiest to RNG on IMO, as they don't require split-second timing. It's pretty hard to understand, but when you know what you're doing, shinies/IVs are really easy.

This guy gets a lot of hate, but this is seriously one of the coolest card arts I've seen.
This is actually from a new mini-set, Dragon Selection, that introduces the Dragon Type to the TCG.

It's really just the colour mismatch on the head and body that puts me off Druddigon. If the head was blue I'd probably kinda like it.

No. No no no no no. Please no.
I don't have a DS atm, so I can't go pass Emerald lol. Tell me why though.
If you had to choose between a genII/III game, which one would you choose?
Another day, another gen II/III war...
My honest opinion? Play neither. Silver sucks and Sapphire is barren compared to Emerald. My advice to you is to track down your nearest copy of Pokémon Emerald and play that ASAP. You can thank me later.
If I HAD to choose out of the two... Sapphire.

I'm gonna say Emerald.
At least it has one, decently dense region as opposed to two hideously overspread ones.

emerald is much more modern, so i'd go with that. obviously the ds games are better than both, but i don't really see how you can go wrong with emerald.

I would pick SoulSilver, if only for the massive amounts of content. You can't really go wrong either way.
EDIT: If it's regular, GBC Silver though, then fuck that. Emerald all the way.

I don't know why Andrex hates Gen 3 when Gen 2 has the worst Pokemon out of them all. Maybe he's jealous that Gen 3's Pokemon are better? *shrug*

I find most of Gen 3's Pokemon either padding or poor in design. Gen 3 has some diamonds, though.
I will say I'm looking forward to the remakes more than anyone else on the planet, and hope I can finally love Hoenn.

Gen II shits on gen III.

Gen 2 was the definition of padding and poor design though. Although I guess it can get a pass because it was the first sequel. Still had a lot of useless shit compared to the few bright spots in terms of the roster.
I think you may have something there...

The newer the Pokemon game, the better it is.

Horrible placement of the new pokemon as well, it's bad enough that some of the new pokemon like Sneasel, Murkrow and Misdreavous were pretty underpowered without evolutions but to make things worse they aren't obtainable until Kanto, hell two of those can't be caught until Mt Silver, was the dark type deemed too powerful for the main game?
A few are hidden away in swarms, once again they were usually pokemon who could have benefited from evos like Qwilfish and Dunsparce.
And of course the introduction of baby pokemon, most of the Gen 2 pokemon just felt wasted to me and like all gens it has some shoddy designs here and there.

Unless he enjoys screwed up levelling, a soulless Kanto and a lower standard of Pokemon, he'll want to steer clear of Silver.
Yes.

Another vote for the third generation. I think the second generation would have benefited from either some new villains or dragging out the Return of Team Rocket a bit longer. Okay story aside, agreed on the placement of new Pokemon. I was furious I couldn't catch a cute Larvitar until after I was done with most of the game. Shame Tyranitar was so ugly. And leveling up in that game was a serious pain. The jump in levels between the final gym leader and the Elite Four and Lance was big and while that has existed in most of the games, at least a lot of them gave you a good chance to level up a bit. And Johto was a bit dry and well a bit samey compared to Kanto (Though I did like some of the gym leaders)
The third generation took place in a region away from the first and second gen games, with some of the most diverse enviroments, where you could explore a raging volcano, a desert, the beach and the sea and to thick forests/jungles. Yes there is a lot of darn water but Pokemon has always had a large amount of water Pokemon compared to the other species so in a way it's a bit appropriate. It introduced double battles (Someone mentioned this already) which added a new dimension to the battles, gave Pokemon abilities that gave them a secondary power like the ability to avoid ground attacks if they were floating or hurting Pokemon who attacked them physically) and gave us some pretty cool looking Pokemon to boot.
We should just compile a list of why Gen 3 is good and just copy and paste when someone asks about it.

Gen 3 bothered me since they didn't implement stuff they should've done from the start.
For example:
-Day/Night Cycle: Time was technically in the game, but had little effect on much. That was one of the cooler features of Gen 2.
-Animated Pokemon: Got included in Emerald, but should've been in R/S from the start.
-Music: Not of fan of Gen 3's music. Just my opinion.
Granted, for all of Gen 3's flaws, it did implement a lot of important stuff like:
-Abilities
-Double Battles
-Natures
-Current EV/IV System (that still remains)
-Specialized Berries (eh...important for metagame, I guess?)
Of course, if you're gonna play any Gen III game that isn't FR/LG, it'd have to be Emerald. So much better than R/S, and much faster and better-looking to boot.

These're really just examples of Game Freak's typical "two steps forward, one step back" deal though. See also: lack of Battle Frontier in Diamond/Pearl, lack of Pokemon following you in Black/White.

You can go with Black/White but I think every generation has its merits and you should give Soul Silver a shot eventually. It just may be a little hard to go back if you play the newest game first but I never had any issue.
Johto is better than Hoenn. Ecruteak City's music is better than everything about Hoenn.
Soulless Kanto is better than Hoenn.
wow, I really hate gen 3.
Gens 3 and 4 were missteps. 5 is awesome.
