What starter did you pick in Pokémon black 2?

 

Oshawott. Although I'm more of a Tepig person, Oshawott has proven to be a little more useful in battling.

 

Random questions from Twi:

If you could give one Pokemon a Mega Evo, which Pokemon would it be and why? I would give Probopass a Mega, cause let's be honest, it hasn't gotten any love since it came out 2 gens ago.

 

I'd love a Mega Evolution for Ninetales and Flygon. Both their base stats aren't the greatest, so as a result they need a nice boost. Not just that, but from what I've read in reviews most Pokémon get Mega Evolutions based on their popularity. Since the two I want are really popular universally, they're both the perfect choice. I kind of want Mega Ninetales more, though.

My favorite pokemon is Snivy, partly because I made a drawing a few years before Pokémon black and white came out. It was cool to choose a starter pokemon that seemed like a perfect match for me.

How do you guys feel about Romhacks? I've been testing the waters, so to speak, by seeing which ones people recommend on YouTube, and I'm still not entirely sure I want to begin playing one.

 

My first instinct if I were to pick one up was to start with Liquid Crystal, which is, as the name suggests, a remake of Crystal which includes 'mons up through Generation III. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[long gone 8,929]

Vietnamese Crystal. Enough said.

I used to play a TON of Romhacks, some of the better ones I've played are the Ruby Destiny trio (Reign of Legends was my favorite of the three), Pokemon Glazed, and Pokemon Snakewood. I could look through my computer for more, but those are just the ones I remember right now.

One pokemon I've always liked is one that doesn't actually exist. A long time ago during the time of pokemon red/blue/green, there was a rumor about a secret pokemon named Pikablu. It's a blue pikachu that was supposed to be water & electric type and evolved into raiblu, a blue raichu. Later an early picture of Marill leaked and people thought this was supposed to be pikablu.

 

I remember rumors of a pikared and a pikagreen as well. I wish pikablu was made into an in-game pokemon.

I remember that. I also remember the other Pokegods, like Doomsday and Venustoise. I also remember spending hours looking for Bill's Secret Garden.

 

Those were the days...

Oh man I remember that... Nidogod is best Pokemon though!

[long gone 8,929]

Oh yeah, Pikablu did become a Pokemon... it was Marill.

Sub discussion lol, Who is your favorite/favorites? Whats your favorite type/types? I will say I am semi biased to the Hoenn Region because of my childhood, Mightyena, Sharpedo and Roserade are all my all time favorites. I play competitively with an all dark and all grass team. but my Mixed "champion team" lol, is Sharpedo, Serperior, Gardevoir, Roserade, Hydreigon & Vespiquen or (rotates with Yanmega, Baenette & Milotic.)

[Twi The Totodile 200]

Another random thought: Say the Pokemon used their intelligence (Psychic types), technical knowledge (Electric types), and brute strength (Fighting types), to take over the humans. The Psychic and Electric types can use their knowledge to alter Pokeballs to be able to catch humans, then the fighting types can use their strength to overpower and eventually capture all of the humans. The Pokemon are going to take over one of these days 0.0

Favorite type: Water

Favorite Pokemon: Floatzel/Buizel, Vaporeon, Lugia, Stoutland, Suicune, Goodra and Swampert. After Vaporeon they're not in any particular order.

[Suitaloo 743]

Favorite pokemon? I'm going to have to say Porygon-Z. Mostly because I like my computer and the idea of an artificial pokemon intrigues me as well as the fact that it's a severely underrated pokemon power-wise, because while it doesn't have the bulk of it's predecessor, it's an amazing special sweeper if you can baton pass it a nasty plot or agility boost.

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

Hmm, I think I like electric pokemon the best with fighting & dark for 2nd and 3rd.

[SunflowerPrincess 345]

Why nobody told me there was a thread about pokemon?

Anyway, uhm...my favorite pokemons are Espeon and Luxray, my favorite types are fire and psychic (guess that's why I chose Fennekin as my starter in X).

[Shenron00 366]

My favorite is either Greninja, Mewtwo, Pichu, Eevee, Squirtle, or Darkrai. Most likely Pichu, but I'm still keeping my options open.

Ya know, Pokémon has been in my life since I first picked up Pokémon Silver for GBC when I was just a little lad.

My main team depends on the game I'm playing, but my starter is usually the first spot (unless some other Pokémon would be a good first choice for a certain trainer, but then my starter is in the second slot.)

I can't remember a whole lot, but my Emerald team was Blaziken. Tropius, Rayquaza, Wailord, Pichu, and some other Pokémon I can't remember right now.

[Magic Note 2,748]

I think my favourite type is Electric, with Steel not too far behind. There's a lot of good Electric types that can be used. It's the same deal with Steel types.

[Shift 4,272]

Favorite type is Dragon and Fairy, I just like using the both of them and those two types usually get the best moves.
 
My favorite pokemon is Mega Absol. It has a beautiful design, my favorite ability in the game, decent base stats with a monstrous 150 attack, a great utility moveset and I just love how it plays. I also like its concept as an angel of death. It also has great nicknaming opportunities. i will not deny that i nicknamed mine sephiroth
 
Seriously, how can you not love it?
 

 
Other favorites are Reshiram, Zoroark, Shaymin-Sky, Mawile and Ninetales.

[ImAd 20]

My favorite type would probably be dark type due to a the majority of my favorite pokemon being of that type (Pangoro, Sableye) 

 

A while back me and a few friends from my work decided to all get X and Y when they came out and hold our own type of tournament.  I ended up getting waaaay more invested in it than them and over the course of a month or two built up another 300 hours on the game.  When it was all over I knew more about pokemon than I ever intended to learn in my entire life

 

Got Omega Ruby last christmas.  Have not touched it since...For now

 

Overall though, favorite pokemon purely asthetically and attitude wise would be Squirtle.

Then again Chespin is pretty adorable

[Cosmik Vek 764]

I'm a Pokémon fan too, but a fairly recent one, it has at least been one year since I got interested in playing a game in the series (Pokémon Red)

My favorite types would be Water, Fire, Ground, Rock and Electric.

My favorite Pokes would be:

• Squirtle and all of his evolutions
• Totodile and all of his evolutions
• Golem
• Aerodactyl
• Arcanine
• Dragonite
• Exeggutor
• Ampharos

I'm currently trying to finish Pokémon Fire Red as a Let's Play in my gaming Channel.

[Magic Note 2,748]

Unrelated, but I think I'm going to start over in White 2, despite having a few hours clocked in with nothing done. I want to play the game again for some reason even if it's outdone by X/Y and OR/AS.

[honk friend 1,978]

Favorite Pokémon? Gee, that sure is a tough one.

Favorite types though, dark and ghost. I promise it's not just because of how cute they are.

[Dark Horse 12,961]

Unrelated, but I think I'm going to start over in White 2, despite having a few hours clocked in with nothing done. I want to play the game again for some reason even if it's outdone by X/Y and OR/AS.

 

I've just started X again, even though I haven't even finished ORAS yet. I wanna see if I can get more out of it, didn't feel XY was as good story wise as Black/White, but obviously the switch to 3D gives it huge pluses, and trainer customization is just so much win!

 

Maybe it's because of that, but I also really can't get into Brendan's redesign, something about it puts me off... I just much preferred his Emerald look.

[Vemillia Nightshade 2,247]

Well my fave type is fire. My fave fire type is Typhlosion hooves down.

Why? Because not only is a decent special attacker, he also is a tank if trained right. He can withstand crap that would drop most fire type pretty quick. I've come close to defeating Lance in the Johto series games with Typhlosion alone. Not to mention that once I got Typhlosion up to level 80+ I almost took down Red with him alone as well. So yeah, don't flipping mess with Typhlosion or you ass is grass.

 

My second Fave fire type still is Blaziken.

[Lateon 589]

I've been playing through HeartGold for the past few days and just took out Clair. That shit was so hard! Typhlosion was level 41, sure, but everybody else was either 36 (my Espeon), or 33 (my Crobat and Ampharos). The ultimate goal is to catch best Legendary and teach her Defog, then transfer her up. Easier said than done, because, y'know, rolling perfect IVs on a Legendary in any non-gen VI game is probably going to be quite cancerous. That, and I don't have a timid Synchronizer yet.

 

In the meantime, I was trying to catch Raikou. I'm pretty sure I was about to contract some other terminal disease from how horrible it is to track it. I've wasted a fast ball, eight quick balls, and an ultra ball while it was sitting in the red and paralyzed, and that was over the span of three hours.
