My ideal Litten's final evolution would be a twelve legged four tailed displacer beast. Mid form eight legs two tails.

There was another Pokemon in the Corocoro leak



It's a Sea Cucumber pokemon that is called Namakobushi and is said to be able to send its insides out from its mouth and use as a fist.

Why did they wait this long to show off a good pokemon?

In the Diancie movie my kid cried when Pikachu got turned into stone. Having only seen a very small portion of the show and being only three he had no trouble suspending his disbelief that this really was the end of Pikachu.

It's adorable too, whenever there's a gym battle, Ash wins a couple of the first matches but then the gym leader comes back and starts soloing his team with a mon, he gets super worried and says "Ok, that's as much as I wanted to watch."

Make pals with Delinquents and Ninja Boys and ask them to pick up stones.

Because you can only inflict one status condition at a time.

Freeze and sleep. There's no reliable way to inflict freeze, so you should just focus on using sleep.

Paralysis, hands down.

Gen 1 is bugged, though, I don't remember exactly how, but I think paralysis has no effect on the capture chance. This was not fixed in the VC versions.

That's Gen 2. Instead of adding +5 to the catch rate, the game just skips it, making Paralyze, Burn and Poison useless to catch Pokemon. Freeze and Sleep still add +10, so they're the only way to boost your chances, status wise.

You can toggle them on and off on the in-battle touch screen to show how many stages you're buffed/debuffed.

HG/SS goes for like $80 if it's just the cart and like $110 if the poke walker is included. Full boxed copies are even higher

They should just release the DS games on the VC with Pokebank support and stop this garbage

It would be freaking amazing if they did this. I've always kind of wanted to play Pokemon on a TV anyway.

Okay, well, I've always been able to play Red\Blue\Gold\Silver on a TV, but nothing after Gen 3.

in my opinion you should only battle red once with your favorite available monsters, preferably ones you met ~level 10 and used exclusively throughout the game
