Mega Man 4 is released on the Virtual Console. As much as I love Mega Man (I have the press kit for MM9 on the wall) I never played 4-5-6 due to my hatred towards the charge shot. Two bosses down and I'm enjoying it. Especially the music.

This will be a good relaxing method of gaming in opposed to the Battle Tower. I'm still pissed off to have a go again. I have a full box of perfect IVs/EV/Nature Pokemons that are ready for competitive battling, and yet I might lose interest just because of this shitty portion of the game.

*looks to his DS*

No I'm not quitting. And if I did, I'll be sure to take Palmer2 down with me :lol

I ketp spamming Lightning Punch but it would take out all of Gyrados health leaving just a sliver of hp everytime, Lance get spamming max potion -_-. I thought it was easy as pie to take it out and didn't revive any other pokemon just in case -_-

GAF, I think I just converted an 18 year old friend into a Pokemon nerd. He'd never played as a kid due to having extremely conservative parents, who thought Pokemon was the devil, or something like that. :lol Last week, I lent him FireRed since he jokingly remarked about missing out as a kid. A week and a half later, he's beaten FireRed, purchased Heartgold, and started watching the anime in order from Episode 1 :lol

Though I have played every generation of Pokemon game, I officially just finished EV training for the first time ever: Lucario with 252 attack, 252 speed, and 4 defense EVs.

I keep waiting for the moment when I realize I did something horribly wrong and would have to start over. I know it's coming. I KNOW it.

Now that I have the Lucario done, I'll concentrate on the Elite 4 (first time), but after that I'm going to try to get a decent Battle Tower team together to move over to Pearl so I can get the Force items. After that, I'll pull out one of the Pokerus pokemon I've had in a PC in Pearl for a few years now, so next time I train something I won't have to be totally dependent on a crappy Macho Brace. I imagine getting x8 EVs will go a long way further towards reducing that feeling than x2 has been.

EV training before the E4? Madness.

Anyway, I just checked the word combinations I have to tell Primo to get the Wooper egg.

RUN AWAY
TRAIN

IRON FIST
BROTHER

Rather amusing phrases for what I assume are randomly generated word pairings.

Need to send out some PMs to tournament participants soon to make sure that everyone is still in it.

Ah, Lance's Dragonites have Fire Blast. How wonderful that is for the Mamoswine I brought in to deal with them.

::edit::
Oh, only ONE of them has it? Nice.

Weakened it a little bit before reviving the Mamoswine and getting a kill with Ice Shard's priority. Pretty much wiped the floor with the rest of what he brought out. I didn't actually even intend to beat the E4 this time, I was just running in with a preliminary team to feel them out. :lol

One thing I love about these games is that there is so much damn content that you can turn it on and have such a wide range of options. Hell, you could just turn on and play Voltorb Flip for a few hours.

EV training before the E4 may not be the best strategy, and I thought about that myself, but I just kind of felt like doing it at the time.

E4 Winning Team (levels listed are after the E4) -

Lucario 38
Mamoswine 47
Honchkrow 42
Luxray 52
Typholosion 41
Alakazam 41

I originally intended to not use an Alakazam, because they're just so easy to beat ass with and I've used them as pretty much my only psychic type in every Pokemon game I've ever played, but in practice this means I basically used no psychics at all for most of the game so far and just said "screw it" when I got to the E4.

Ooh, I EV-trained Togekiss before the E4. You can't imagine the horror of fighting one hundred and twenty Tentacools... (no PKRS nor Power items :lol )

This.

Left her home while I ran out to do some errands. Was gone for maybe 15 minutes. She apparently didn't like this and went all vindictive. It sort of works still.. the middle button is stuck and it still turns on. But, alas, you can only stay mad at them for so long. And no, that's not her in the picture, but she is a black lab. So essentially the same thing. :lol

This is the culprit:

IT'S A CRITICAL HIT!

I'm going for Palmer's 2nd round. Wish me luck... Edit: FUCK Walrein. 3 successful Fissure in a row? The FUCK! If it wasn't for Primeape's Focus Sash I would have died right before Palmer2! :mad:(((( Edit: Fuck Cresselia. She has Moonlight, and she doesn't die from a Swords Danced Outrage from Garchomp. WTF.

But.... the anime kinda sucks...

Well, OK. The first season held promise of greatness. It didn't deliver, though. Boy, did it ever NOT deliver.

I still watch the new episode every week. It's a regular part of my life now and has been since I was little. :(

I know, that's what I found so funny.

The thing is, he kinda sucks, and, even worse, acts like he's a pro. He was telling me he's going to "main" a Houndoom in HeartGold. :/

Houndoom isn't a terrible special sweeper. He just has a glass jaw and really unfortunate typing. I know he's only popular because he looks like a demonic badass (he wouldn't get half as much attention if he lost the horns and arrow-tail), but it's not like he actually sucks in battle.

But yeah, I steer clear of that line because waaaay too many 8-year-old boys couldn't shut up about him back in the day.

Finally hit the Elite 4.

LV39 Typhlosion
LV39 Scyther
LV39 Slowking
LV39 Togekiss
LV30 Umbreon
LV11 Dratini that I needed to use Waterfall with

Let's see how far I get.

Good luck. My mains (four of them, five if you include the extra Feraligatr, team filled out by a Lugia who acted as a trump card) were at around Lv 44 and I still got my arse kicked by the Champion (to be fair, I didn't bring along enough revives, so I went in with two of my pokemon fainted).

Second time around, I learnt my lesson, stocked up on revives and beat the E4 without once having to bring out the Lugia.

Well, by "main" he means "Almost only ever use this Pokemon in battles." I'm sure Houndoom is fine as part of a team for the quest. I had to laugh at the idea that he'll sweep the entire game with it.

He's doomed the second he comes across a Wishcash.

You can buy a new one from Nintendo's online store for $14.99 + shipping

Which comes out to be $21 altogether BTW. I know because my first Walker didn't survive the Whirlpool attack of my washer.

Once I realized the total, I couldn't figure out why I didn't just get HG (I have SS) and give it to a friend sans the walker for $40 - 10% coupon + tax = $40
