No VS seeker and no dedicated breeding route? That's two strikes, Game Freak!

For some reason I've always disliked Drowzee and Hypno. They seem like a poor man's verion of the abra family. And their designs aren't as cool or sleek as the abras.

Fuuuck! Nostalgia is hitting me BIG time! I went to Kanto, and just left Vermillion City! Wow new music all over the place. As Red is the only pokemon game I played before HG it's like getting home after a long adventure!
Such a great game man!

I like this. Haha.
But I must say, I suspect this game is even more broken than Platinum. I was flinched no less than 6 TIMES OUT OF 7 in one battle. I'm not even kidding.
I'm pretty much stuck on Miltank now... and it's only because of luck. If only not everything that could go wrong went wrong in those 4 times I battled the leader, I would have beaten her easily, but alas, I always die with Miltank having like 1 attack left.

Well you can look forward to Battle Frontier then! Stuff is made from out of nightmares I tell ya!upandaway said:
Yeah that's gonna be torture. I'm still not even done with Platinum's postgame.Metroid Killer said:
By the way, I read the last page, what the hell are you guys doing taking trainer phone numbers? Haven't you played GSC to understand the significance of that? I knew I would do better to give myself a slap every 2 minutes than to say yes. You guys have no right to complain.

Bu bu it gives me the feeling that people care about me... ;-) Actually the rematches has helped me a lot. I grinded Victory Road an insane amount of times and the rematches were always a nice change.upandaway said:
Ewww at people liking Gen 3
First of all, a lot of the Pokemon are laaaaame.
Second, they tried to do some interesting things like making the tree top area but it fails miserably because of the limited hardware and the fact that other than looking different, it functions no differently then the normal towns in the first two gens did. It just ends up feeling shallow and dumb. There is also way too much water, both in the amount Pokemon with that type and the fact that a decent sized portion of the game is just surfing along the water with a random encounter every 10 seconds.

Awesome, right? The original design of Girafarig / Kirinriki was a little more balanced, in that the head and tail were roughly the same size, elucidating the whole palindrome and idea of symmetry a bit more.
Problem is I don't want a Machop on my team. I could just as well use Rock Smash too but, you know, I don't wanna do something I will regret later.joelseph said:
The thing is that I could win now if only the game wasn't so stubborn with the secondary effects. Have something go in my favor once in a while.
upandaway said:
You're going to need Rock Smash at some point, you might as well teach it to something bulky like Flaaffy, who can weaken Miltank with it so one of your physical Pokemon can end her. Flaaffy's movepool in game is so small that it won't matter, and it actually lets you hit Rock/Ground type for good damage (until you can get Focus Blast).

Sinnoh, the world in Generation 4, is quite larger. There are even more legendary Pokemon and side quest, but it's a bit more linear. There's nothing quite as expansive as the water, and underwater sections of Generation 3.. but there are numerous caves, and hidden areas to explore.

Gen 3 Defence Force... Assemble!
And that miniature excuse of a region called Gen 2 Johto is better? give me a break. Hoenn had a far greater sense of exploration than any pokemon game before or since. The Regis are a testament to this. Flipping through the ruby manual to decipher braille riddles and capture Thardus was incredible. Emerald takes this one step further and does roaming pokemon right with Kyogre and Groudon.
And the surfing in RSE is the best it's ever been done. Surf as a HM may as well not exist in sinnoh considering how little it was used. Dive also did some really interesting things and gave the game a sense of life.

I stated my grievances with Gen 3 on a previous page, but the entire thing was disappointing. From the Pokemon to double battles to the locales, graphical updates, characters, worse story than usual, water, more water, oh hey are we surfing again?...
I can keep going. I really tried to love it, but I'd rather forget it for the much, much superior D/P/Pt.

beat the 7th gym
my team so far(trying to go for a team without legendaries)
Totodile lvl 34(will probably take of the everstone soon and just evolve it)
Gabite lvl 39(9 more level til it evolves into Garchomp)
Ninetails lvl 34(Mahogany gym got its shit pushed it by ninetails)
Ampharos lvl 35(pretty awesome-use its thunder wave for catching pokemons)
Pidgeot lvl 36(I like it but I might change it if I find a better flying pokemon)
Nidoqueen lvl30(love the double kick but will probably replace for an HM slave)
edit:
btw is it just me or is the encounter rate awful? I know that running increases it but god damn at Lake Rage every few steps I would be fighting some piece of shit lvl 10 Magikrap.

The encounter rate in D/P was AWFUL. But it was still a great game.
WHY ALL THE GEN 3 HATE DUDES?!!??!?! I loved gen 3 probably almost as much as Gen 4. for me its probably
4=3>1>2

That's what you're looking at right? Just headbutt the trees in the areas I listed, they're all considered "Mountain"

Do you need the nationaldex in Soul Silver to trade with Platinum, or is it pretty much as soon as you have access?
