In other news, Latias is on its way back to Ubers and Salamence is being put up for a vote. As an ice-type specialist, you can be sure that I'm just thrilled about this.

And tune in next month, when we put our crosshairs upon Tyranitar/Dragonite so we can eliminate the next big threat to our precious metagame!

I don't care that much as long as they scale back some of the bans when B&W hit. IMO, any non-legendary ban should have to be rejustified with each new update to the game.
Otherwise I'm going to stick to doubles more often. A metagame free from the singles mentality of entry hazards, switches, and counters is so appealing right now. Think through your bad matchups instead of throwing your hands up in frustration, dangit!

Shoot, does anyone know if you can import Pokemon from a US GBA game into an Australian DS SoulSilver?
Dragonite would never go to Ubers because he's not very good. I don't ever see Metagross going either. Salamence has been a suspect since the beginning of DP. Tyranitar maybe as he was the first non-600+ base legendary to be considered for banning.
DP seems like a transitional generation as Smogon starts testing rules that haven't been checked for two generations. I really wish they tested Evasion and OHKO clause before these Pokemon though.

So, I was lucky and got a Pokerus infected Pokemon. Am I getting it right, that I will not lose it if at least one Pokemon infected with it is in a box?

Non-gimmicky Metagross is hard countered by Bronzong and Rotom-A so it's doubtful it'd ever get banned. Plus you still have bulky Water types like Swampert and even Vaporeon that can deal with it most of the time. Its mixed set can beat its counters but then it loses a lot of effectiveness against everything else.
Firestorm said:
I don't know about that exactly. Dragonite is the sleeping giant in all of this. A lot of the sets it's capable of running aren't used because Salamence can pull it off more easily due to that faster Speed. A couple of extra Pokemon capable of revenge-killing the Dragon Dance set may or may not be the difference between its fate and that of Salamence. It might not get banned but it'll most definitely be considered (after Salamence/Tyranitar). Time constraints could play a role too with B/W creeping up on us.
Little Green Yoda said:
Tyranitar is not without it counters either. Most sets get eaten alive by Scizor, and the ones that don't get destroyed by Hippowdon, Mamoswine, Swampert etc.
Besides it's not like these Pokémon are suspects because they're ruining the metagame, it's because people don't want to bother trying to fight against them.

Is the metagame based on singles? I've been playing doubles and the strategies are a lot different.
Currently filling up a box of above average/decent Houndours.

Money is so useless except for buying vitamins. Just spamming "A" at the Daily Drawing Corner and listening for the no. 1 prize jingle. Think I've burned about 15k so far for one Shadow Claw.

They should really make it so that you can buy any TM you want if you have enough money. I hate having to trade with people for certain TM's and I hate that other TM moves are only available in older generations or crossbreeds.Lone_Prodigy said:

80BP for a goddam TM every single physical attacker in the game practically requires is such bullshit.

Yep, if you want to play competitively you pretty much have to hack. Some of the best Pokes require 100 days of objects placed in the Safari Zone, tons of BP, etc. Hopefully we'll get more routes like Winner's Path in the Pokewalker.
Egg number 29 gave me a superior Houndour, with bad nature (+Atk, -Def) and Early Bird. Gah.

One single feature could redeem the TM mistakes for me. A larger pokemon day care center where you could put as many as 3 or five pairs to breed at the same time. It would cut IV breeding time by up to 75%.
A nice loophole for the kids would be that "the extra pokemon are released into the wild and donated to shelters where they can be adopted".
That alone could make up for the lack of a larger TM library in a big way for me.
I can't imagine IV breeding without an IV ditto at this point. I've only got one pokemon left to IV breed(I've breed over 10 already!) and then I can take a break for a little while so I guess it ain't so bad. The amount of eggs it takes to get pokes with good IVs can be mindbending for those of us who lack an OCD though.:lol

Bah. Hacking, shmacking. I once started buying a bunch of TMs on Platinum that I didn't need because I kept getting close to the 999 BP limit!Lone_Prodigy said:
Event-only things like the Winner's Path are more justifiable for hacking since they screw over latecomers.

Anyway, some thoughts:

- Hypnosis' accuracy sucks.
- Priority moves!

Good game.
It did have Aftermath, or so I thought. I thought Hypnosis was good enough for its needs, it wasn't supposed to be a dedicated sleep inducer.
