I can't see Nintendo announcing anything at E3, considering how Japan-centric most of their stuff usually is. Unless it's a Western-only (or Western-based) game?

You have cracked the code of Pokemon Rumble. You literally just spam A. Some people really like it I guess. Shuffle can be REALLY frustrating with giant walls at times though.

The Spanish pokemon blogs seem to be indicating it was an announcement of Pokemon episodes. The announcement being :siren:ASH IS GETTING A NOIBAT:siren: :japan:.

It will be interesting to see if E3 actually has something. Maybe they pushed a pokemon announcement since they didn't have any Legend of Zelda footage to show?

Yeah, as it turns out the Famitsu reveal was just a mistranslation that got passed around. Probably just gonna be stuff we already saw like the recent Hoopa art. Should've known something was not right when pretty much no one else had picked up the story.

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon has just been announced. I've been hoping for a game that improves on Gates to Infinity. Maybe this one will have more than 200 Pokemon.

I never played Gates to Infinity. Besides the low pokemon selection was it good

Crosspeice
Aug 9, 2013

It was okay, I did like how it looked and the story was on par with the series, but they changed a few things that are fairly questionable. I'm not sure if I liked the removal of hunger or not, but it made one less thing to worry about, I suppose. The normal A attack was nerfed so that it was more or less useless. Again, not sure how I feel about that. The building of your base was cool, but there wasn't all that much to do besides reap your Reviver Seeds and whatnot. The shared exp was excellent, since it meant I actually used my reserves instead of just letting them collect dust and the narrow selection of Pokemon let you try out everyone and made it easier to obtain all of them (anyone here actually obtain all 492 Pokemon in Sky?), but there were barely any legendaries you could use and big Pokemon were missing entirely so things didn't clip terribly.

Overall, eh, it was fine, not as good as the previous ones. And depending how this one is like, you could skip Gates entirely.

Even though I've only ever played the first Mystery Dungeon I'm pretty excited about Super. I still go back to Red Rescue once in a while because of just how fun it is exploring the world. Gonna have to go back to and actually try to finish it this time. Can't wait to hear more about it.

Also anybody here have HA Amaura by any chance?

The second Mystery Dungeon (Explorers of whatever) is the best so far, you should check that out rather than Gates if you can get your hands on it. But I'm excited for Super too ;)

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
Third version. It did have notable improvements though so if you go back now to play them definitely play Sky.

The PMD series has some really nice music in general. I still love Sky Tower from the original Red/Blue.

it adds a few more pokemon and also some side missions where you play as the members of the wigglytuff guild. nothing mindblowing (though you do get to play as bidoof, aka the best character)

There's Spinda's Cafe where you can make drinks out of food items to boost your stats and the Recycling Shop to get rid of your unwanted items for new ones, or even new dungeons. And Croagunk's Swap Shop is actually usable, since you can swap any special items for really good ones for Pokemon in your party. There's subtle improvements, the story is exactly the same, but why not play it all again?

My gf said I should make a team with Slurpuff because "he's sooooo cute!"

Well he's got Belly Drum / Unburden, so that's a good start. I'll give him five fairy friends and take Team Cute to battlespot.

So how do I S-Rank the Timburr stage? I've tried Mewtwo as the mega and three other psychics while using Mega Start and Moves +5 but I still only get an A rank, even with 15 moves left. Any ideas?

Either buy Mega start, +5 moves and Complexity -1, or you could just get the first two and hope you get lucky with chains.

What's your Slurpuff build? The one from Smogon? That was a good battle, but where the gently caress is the fun in using an all hacked legends team?

Also who wants to admit to spending a bad amount of money on Shuffle? Anyone here a sucker? Can I really make a post entirely composed of questions?

You can pick up a Ralts on route 102.

Slakoth and Shroomish from Petalburg Woods can turn into real powerhouses.

if you get to Mauville you can grab a Mach Bike and go back to Granite Cave to catch a Mawile.

Also, Wondertrade.

I've gone as far past Rustburo as I can to catch wild Pokemon and still literally everything is bad. I really want to train something other than Mudkip. Slakoth and Shroomish are cool but they still feel kinda meh.

Gonna train that Makuhita I got in the Rustburo house. At least the thing looks cute.

Yeah basically the smogon build. Belly Drum -> Eats Sitrus -> Unburden speed boost and pray nothing looks at it too funny. It works better in non 3v3 formats for sure, though. Play Rough and Return for coverage and I'm holding onto Substitute in the last slot.

I feel like half of battlespot is shiny legendary teams. Fairy types are quite useful considering how many legendary dragons pop up!

Have you been trying out the DexNav? You can get some pretty great moves out of it.

If you have access to ORAS you could have the Battle Resort tutors teach it Drain Punch for some pretty good coverage.

Those trades used local Wireless. Assuming you have two DS/3DS systems, they should still work.

Again a very likpatous story
I just got to the Drilbur stage in Shuffle (I'm slow), and the first time it loaded up I immediately got "No possible moves left!" So the stage reset, and I got "No possible moves left!" again. Who the gently caress thought this was a good stage design? And then it starts using disruptions every single turn? This is worse than Milotic.

Oh wow that's not on Smogons move list so I overlooked it. That would work pretty well with Substitute, allowing him to have some lasting power while he's knocking chumps down.
