What's up with Mew's Fire Red pokedex entry? "A POKéMON of South America that was thought to have been extinct. It is very intelligent and learns any move" is that real?

Uh oh, sounds like someone needs to watch Pokemon: The First Movie.
Edit: I guess it was in Mewtwo Returns instead

There are mentions of South America throughout Pokemon Mansion way back in RBY. They never retconned it, if they wanted to.

Wow. I remember seeing it flying through space and thought it might be one of those space based Pokémon but now I have absolutely no idea lol. A Pokémon game based in South America with jungle environments and long rivers would be neat though.

In Red and Blue and the "Origin of Mewtwo" segment of the first movie's DVD, it's specifically mentioned as being found in Guyana.

They should set a Pokemon game in Australia. Can you imagine all the giant spider Pokemon we would get?
Click to expand...
As an Aussie, I'd love this. There are so many animals here to provide inspiration for Pokemon designs too. In addition to the giant spiders and snakes, there's the:

Kangaroo
Koala
Dropbear
Kookaburra
Wombat
Platypus
Echidna
Dolphin
Tasmanian Tiger
Possum (lots of different varieties)
Dingo
Emu
Cockatoo
Sharks
Crocodiles
Huge variety of lizards

and that's just off the top of my head.

That's a damn fine list. Although we already have Kangaroo. Kangaskhan.

Could add:

Cassowary
Quokka (NECESSARY. It is the only animal of its genus)
Wallaby
Cane Toads (Introduced fuckers)
Rosella
Blue Tongue Lizard (I know you said huge variety but this is the quintessential one for me. Could be a Fire/Ice type with it being all firey and lizardy on the outside with a frozen tongue)
Tasmanian Devil (different from the Tas Tiger/Thylacine)
Box Jellyfish
Stone Fish/Synancia (kind of exists in Relicanth but it needs to be poison type considering it's one of the most venemous fish in the world)

And we haven't even gotten to the spiders yet.

And New Zealand.

I prefer Rainbow Lorikeets but Rosellas are cool too.

Going back to Kangaroo for a sec - I know we have Kangaskhan, but tbh the only feature it shares with Kangaroos is the pouch. It doesn't resemble or behave like a Kangaroo at all.

But for differentiation, they could have a Boxing Kangaroo fighting type.

Breloom has a bit of boxing kanga in him. A fungi kangaroo.

Water starter should be a water/flying duck which evoles into a water/ground beaver, and finally becomes a pure water type Platypus. It should learn a flying/ground hybrid movie a la Flying Press

My family and I have a bit of a third shift schedule, so we already exchanged some gifts. Looks like my parents did buy me a copy of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire after all, hehe. I'm glad to have it, but I'm already feeling intimidated to start it up...I haven't finished a Pokemon game since Silver on GBC, and I'm so out of the loop.

Haven't found yet a single Pokemon to add to my party aside from Ralts, so I guess I'll go with Ralts solo for a while. About to hit the 3rd gym.

Take it in strides. Ignore the competitive aspect for now and just focus on the single player.

Don't worry too much the story is simple enough so that you'll be able to enjoy it.
And you'll catch-up without even noticing it :)

It's just if you get into breeding and/or competitive battling at one point that you may need a crash course.
But there is plenty of resources out there if it comes to that, and GAF is very helpful as well.

Just make sure to get the Amulet Coin from your mother after beating the fifth gym. It just makes things easier. And look at the map if you're lost.

After getting back my 3DS LL XY from Nintendo finally fixed perfectly, I traded in my cobalt 3ds a few hours before it struck midnight here to the 26th.

Personally I'm impressed by it, no big micro sd yet, and the new microsd slot is lame. I got a theme download card too.

I bought the ORAS covers which I think are better than the felt Pokemon Center exclusive versions.

If we're talking about silly FireRed Pokedex entries, look no further than the writer's inexplicable hatred of Indian elephants.

Trying to breed some Lopunny and all I'm getting are perfect males, which I don't want. I usually don't care about genders, but why is the ratio gender 50/50 for this Pokemon?

GameFreak pls

I just realized it's synchronize and not trace that I want.... I knew something seemed off.

Again: Anyone got a spare Bold synchronizer?

got one. Also got a speed checker. Time for resets...

Okay, just got a shiny perfect HA Crawdaunt with Aqua Jet and Dragon Dance on Wonder Trade.

Well, Merry Christmas everyone!

You soft reset the game (L+R+Start) when a legendary you catch doesn't have the right stats or nature that you want.

People usually SR (soft reset) particular Pokemon because they either want the right IVs in the right stats, the right nature, and/or the Pokemon be a shiny.

Generally, it's good to aim for Pokemon with high/perfect IVs in stats that matter. IVs are the genetics of Pokemon so a Pokemon with perfect IVs is better than Pokemon belonging to the same species with less-than-perfect IVs. Natures also affect IVs so people aim to get one with a nature that's beneficial to whatever they're planning to use the Pokemon for. In this case, you need to capture the Pokemon you're SRing, input its stats in an IV calculator online, and determine if it's good enough for you.

As for shiny, well shinies are just cool. You generally just need to see the Pokemon in battle to see if it's a shiny.

So how do you do it? Well, you need to be able to consistently encounter the Pokemon you're planning to SR; so usually it involves legendaries. People usually save before the encounter to speed up the process. To soft reset, you press L + R + Start.

Does anyone have a spare Treecko or Seedot I could have? I'm trying to complete the dex as I go through the story and region exclusives and starters are the only things I really need right now.

I don't really have much to trade though I'm afraid :(

All that talk of Pokémon Australia ideas and no Lyrebird? Unless of course Pokémon has already done that and I totally forgot...then again mimic and mirror move are not the best of moves (especially given Me First kind of makes them obsolete in some respects).

As for soft resetting legendaries much of the challenge is knowing when it isn't worth throwing a ball (if you're going for some form of perfection). Nugget Bridge had a guide a things to look out for.
http://nuggetbridge.com/articles/fl...-legendary-pokemon-omega-ruby-alpha-sapphire/
As was noted in the comments since Final Gambit uses your current HP for damage. Provided, your total HP is over 196 you can always make use of it if you take some damage before fighting the legendary.
A speed checking tip I'll share is a level 100 31 Speed IV Sassy Spritomb can speed check all of the legendaries in the game (except for 0 speed builds).

But really do consider what is important for you. Since I'm doing a second playthrough I don't need to worry about total perfection but like to have some good enough ones to try out and I despise Ultra or Master Balls so catching in other balls is more important to me (catching O-power helps)

Muddy Water has its niche of being a spread move that only target opponents (unlike surf which targets all surrounding). Still most doubles players hate the accuracy of it (Scald burns more often than Muddy Water misses and a Scald burn is very useful).

Usually to get multiple of the same legendary you need to either obtain it in different games or in the same game but different save files (aka start over). Trading is also possible, of course. Unless you mean get Suicune + Entei + Raikou, in which case it depends on the game.

Here it says how you can get the 3 dogs (You need Ho-oh on your team and the right mirage spot. The dog that shows up depends on the time of day)
