It's really weird that just so many dragons go through Larva->Pupa->Imago stages, like they're lizard/butterflies.

I'll probably give you a 4IV Ferroseed with Stealth Rocks and Leech Seed, or a 4IV Baltoy, whatever works. EDIT: Thanks a bunch! I hope I didn't make you wait too long, I had set my 3DS down to grab something out of my microwave.

Do you guys think Boomburst is worth running on a Noivern? Doesn't get STAB but it's still a really powerful move. Most likely going to be running it in doubles paired with something hitting Wide Guard so it doesn't murder my own team.

My only problems with Colosseum/XD were the battle speed and the loving trainer names. I swear they just bashed their face against the keyboard a few times and called it a day.

It was sorta like Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine, but with a poketwist.

Pokemon Puzzle League. That was actually the same game as Panel de Pon, which was rebranded over and over again as Puzzle League, Tetris Attack, etc. Definitely one of the better block fall games out there.

Been trying to hatch a shiny female Ralts for the last few months. I've got two males  If anyone has a nicknameable shiny female Ralts, I'll trade two modest shiny male Ralts for it. I know it's a long shot, but I don't really care if it's Pokegenned now at this point - just using it for an ingame team. Let me know if you're interested.

There was the SNES version called Tetris Attack, which was itself a Yoshi-themed skin of the Japanese version, which involved fairies. (It's where Smash got Lip's Stick from.)

Swagger was banned because gently caress swagger. Thundurus-T dropped down for testing: all of the BLs are going to be retested, one by one, to see if they're OK or not (Weavile's next after Thundurus-T).

Popped in my copy of coliseum xd to see what I was missing and I made it to Assistant Chobin's invention monitor. Holy crap some of the later ones. "the pokepole is painted red and white like a pokeball but it's just a pole. People will confuse this with the real thing... Astounding!" I'm taking that as a dig at us for confusing electrodes as pokeballs

Crosscontaminant posted:That's UU. OU is suspect-testing it because it's run by people with a clue as opposed to kokoloko's mad-dictator approach. I'm not even considering the offensive sets, though it's probably Deo-S's best set right now. It's also a *lot* stronger than most scarfed revenge killers, by the way, mainly because Deo gets to hold a Life Orb: 252 SpA Life Orb Deoxys-S Psycho Boost vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Manaphy: 239-282 (70 - 82.6%) 252 Atk Garchomp Outrage vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Manaphy: 196-232 (57.4 - 68%) The problem with the Deoxys formes is the same as it's always been, the hazard stacking HO lead set. Deoxys-D/Bisharp/Balloon Aegislash is everywhere on the ladder. It feels like half the teams I'm fighting are using the same setup, and it's not hard to see why, it's incredibly easy to play and hard to deal with. Yeah, Deoxys-D is better at this, but if you ban Deo-D then Deo-S is more than able to fill the void. It was broken in gen IV, it was broken in gen V, and it's really not surprising that it's broken this gen too. They're incredibly degenerate Pokémon, the game would be much better without them, and I'm pretty annoyed with myself for not voting to ban at least Deo-S when I had the chance. (I don't like Deoxys)

The prospect of filling out the extra 250-ish Pokemon to fill but my National Dex is a bit daunting and boring, so I've decided to spice it up a bit. Sure I could breed a fuckton of Cyndaquils and trade them for anything, but that would be boring. Instead, I've decided to trade for historical equivalency. Go as far back as possible in the series' lifetime to find something that was at one point that Pokemon's equal that can today also be considered, if not a 'fair trade', at least one that I'm on the losing end of. It's kind of fun trying to puzzle out a trade that's fair on two different fronts, and in research I'm realizing tons of poo poo from previous generations that I've either forgotten or never realized. So far, Meowth was easy. I have a Mankey, they were parallel exclusives in gen 1, piece of cake. Grimer I'm trading a Koffing for, because apparently they were both 'soft exclusives' that were much rarer in one version than the other. For a Seel, I'm offering a Ponyta, because that was an in-game trade in gen 1. Why, I don't know, because Seel were kind of easy to get in Seafoam. Krabby was a bit tough, because everything else you could fish up with a Super Rod has been much more available. I eventually opted for Dratini, because if all else fails who the hell is going to turn down a Dratini for a Krabby. Drowzee was tough too, because he's never really had a parallel in any game. I went with Smoochum because they were both D/P/Pt swarms. Currently the one I'm puzzling out is Porygon2. I can get a Porygon simply enough, since I've already got a Porygon-Z, but Porygon2's just an awkward missing link. Maybe toss out a Scizor, since they evolve nin the same way and were introduced in the same generation? Cleretic fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Mar 19, 2014 |

It's mostly for collection and the ability to say I have them. Also, I managed to snag them for $65 which is about 8 bucks per game.

I came across a Female Croconaw in Colosseum and I wasn't able to get a Lux ball over to the game yet because the trade center is closed at the very beginning. I get a second chance to catch it if I fainted it right? I know that colosseum is only way to get lux ball Johto starters and I figured you'd get a second chanc later of you fainted it the first time

You always get another chance to catch Shadow Pokemon. The Johto starters specifically are ones you're able to get all throughout the game.

The Croconaw was Female and I can always reset if I get a chance at the others as well to get them female as well. I have 6 lux balls on gen 3 games so I'm just going to transfer them and get what I need.
