    Re: The Pokemon Thread

    How do you guys feel about Emerald ?

    I'm thinking about buying it, after I complete Fire Red.

    Are they pokemon that are newer than the ones found in the Joto League ?

      Ended up picking Piplup as my starter in Platinum. Made sure I got a female so I could breed it.

        I spent a lot of time on Emerald, I enjoyed it. Yea, Emerald is third gen pokes, so you'll see newer ones. However, 3rd gen has to be my least favorite pokemons though.

          Emerald was my favorite pokemon game to be honest, well that and Crystal. The Battle Frontier made that game a ton of fun after you beat the main story.

            It's going to be a bit, before I can get a DS + I still have a lot of stuff to do in Fire Red. I'm still planning on trying to find a copy of Emerald soon,

              AH yes the good ole confusion it's normally not that bad until the gym leader rule kicks in...what's the gym leader rule you ask? Well I will explain it to you Gym Leader Rules: Any Pokemon status effect that has a low % of effecting you will have that % increase substantially. Confusion is almost certain to make you hit yourself, Sleep will work 80% of the time and if left untreated (item usage) it will last max turns more than likely, a move with a secondary effects that that can paralyze, poison, confuse or cause flinching will indeed take effect at a much higher rate. Critical Hit % chance is increased when your pokemon is 50% or less in health. OHKO moves have a much higher chance of hitting that the 30% accuracy they come with, and if the gym leader manages to get off 1 or 2 stages of evasive up moves best believe you aren't going to hit them very often. That's the Gym Leader Rules in a nutshell, now you been warned lol.

              Note: This isn't an official rule of these games that I am aware of but it's something me and a buddy of mine decided to create due to the fact that Gym leader pokemon do in fact tend to have higher success rates when using status effect moves and etc.

                Boom finished the Elite 4, Houndoom was the hardest one for me. His Dark Pulse wrecked me, luckily Ampharos finally paralyzed him.

                  Houndoom was always semi easy for me in G/S/C because of the Red Gyarados, will be interesting to see whenever I get HG.

                    Re: The Pokemon Thread

                    Current Lineup:

                    lvl 41 Blastoise

                    lvl 40 Persian

                    lvl 37 Jolteon

                    lvl 34 Vileplume

                    lvl 34 Hitmonchan


                    I've got a few other solid level Pokemon in the PC, but this is the current line up I'm running with. I'm still on the search for a solid Fire type, but that will come eventually..

                      Especially when you only need that last hit to win a battle, and the next turn the trainer wises up and uses a full restore or something. Bastards.

                        Ha. Couldn't even beat the first trainer in Platinum. More training for me. They're rock types, and I really only have one Pokemon that can do anything to them (Piplup). My team right now (around lvl 12 or so) is an Abra (1 lvl away from evolving), Piplup, Starly, Bidoof, Shinx, and Geodude. Bidoof and Geodude are not long for the team. I'm going to backtrack and pick up a few new Pokemon.

                        I tried catching an Onyx, and used 14 pokeballs on that SOB. Couldn't get him. Had him down to 1 health too, but had no way of putting him to sleep or anything.

                          How does a zigzagoon know surf? Gotta say I wasn't expecting that when I used my aron against it.

                            The battery on my DS died, and I can't find the charger.

                              Anyone see the Pokemon Conquest game that will be releasing soon? It seems like its a interesting idea.

                              It's like Pokemon mixed with final fantasy tactics.

                                Conquest comes out I think June 18th, it looks fun but my gripe with it was that the pokemon only have one move and as it looks they don't learn anymore than that unless they evolve and I also don't think you capture any pokemon either you just befriend other people in the game who will aid you in battle with there pokemon.

                                Man I really feel like replaying one of my pokemon games but they all have pokemon on them that I want to keep...
