So is it too late to enter the pokeGAF tournament? I have a team, but didn't bother with IV/EV stuff, but still would like to play with some of you guys.

Minus the Battle Tower the others aren't that intense, IMO.

If you happen to be around in 4 hours, there might be a spot that opens up, as I'm going to be cutting some people who haven't got in touch with me this week. I'll only do this if their assigned opponent happens to be around tonight at the same time though.

Otherwise, I'll be around for casual battles tonight.

Yeah I love the Arcade, and I just played the Castle last night and it practically begs you to "cheat." :lol I hate the Factory though. I was excited to play the Hall but TBH it's a bit too complicated IMO.

4 hours I'll be off work. One pokemon still needs a move tutor move, but whatever. When is the tournament? There another topic with all the info?

EDIT: Send a PM to Little Green Yoda and El Sloth to see if they'd be willing to play against you, and tonight if possible. Their assigned opponents are probably going to be cut tonight.

Why no double team?

Because it was really annoying in RBY and the habits of the competitive Pokemon community die hard.

In RBY, the only move that hit through evasion modifiers was Swift, and Swift kind of sucks. It resulted in too many matches being decided by total coin tosses and most players felt that that was a really lousy way to play. So evasion boosting moves were banned.

Of course, now we have all kinds of moves that hit through evasion modifiers (Aerial Ace, Magical Leaf, Aura Sphere, etc.), some of which have actual utility, but like I said, old habits die hard. I think Smogon recently considered disposing of evasion clause a while back but I'm not sure what came of that.

No biggie. TM move so the one pokemon that knows it can adjust.

I'll PM those guys tonight.

I like the recent color palette better. The paleness looks much better imo.

But the older artworks have that old-school charm to them. I'd like to see them as well.

The newer stuff is a bit too filled in, while it might look technically better, it loses some charm.

Yeah, I guess I can see how you could prefer that look. Kinda crayon-like.

Edit- But new Raichu art >>>>>>> old Raichu art.

Would a dark Pokémon come in handy in the main game?
I have a Murkrow from the Pokéwalker. I could also evolve an Eevee to an Umbreon.

Flying preferably, but surf would be nice. I don't want Volt Tackle Pika because I just got a Light Ball in a Pokewalker exchange yesterday, and I can breed VT if I want to.

You too.

I always feel a bit dirty winning like that, but I don't turn down a guaranteed KO when it presents itself.

Haha my team is such a hodge-podge of favorites. Hopefully it'll do well against my friends who haven't EV trained either.

Hoppip?

All those last options are pretty cool, I'll also toss in Gengar and Alakazam.

The benefit to being thorough about getting Pokémon for the Pokédex is that you have a lot of options for your team. It also can lead to a constantly changing team for a while until you find a configuration that works.

Indeed, and especially later on where the more unique pokemon are rarer, if you take your time to get them as well you'll have a great diversity for your team.

Are you using the pokewalker as well? I remember it opening up the possibilities for my early teams a lot.

Yeah, but I've done all that I can with it right now, there aren't any Pokémon in the courses left before the National Dex that I don't/won't have.

I've actually kinda giving up on the PokeWalker since getting the White Lake course(50.000 watts), there's nothing of interest in that one and the next requires 15.000 more watts and all I want from that is just a Finnon and Shellos...
