gaming Any Pokémon fans?

[KirbyFluttershy 2,523]

I only picked Bulbasaur, and Chikorita as a starter for Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green and Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Well My reason on the bulbasaur is that i like to make the progress much easier. Chikorita on the other hand, i chose him by my own choice and it's cute too. The Rest i chose from 3rd Gen through 5tth gen pokemon were water starters which is Mudkip, Piplup, and Oshawott.

[Espeon 338]

Update: I soft-reset for a Timid Genesect, traded it to White 1, EV trained and Pokerus'd it, then traded back for some fodder Staryu that I caught. I have Timid max SAtk / max Spe Genesect and Keldeo on White 2, and I've been doing some more trading from White 1.

 

I thought that soft-resetting for half-decent musketeers wouldn't be that hard, but it's a lot worse than I thought, especially since I'm trying to catch all of them in Pokeballs or Premier Balls. My gameplan is to catch as many Pokemon as possible to drive up the Critical Capture rate to an acceptable amount before I even try again, but that might take a while, even with trading from White 1. I'm thinking I could trade over a few 'mons for the post-game, and maybe use Genesect and Keldeo, catching as much as possible along the way and using fully-evolved things as trading fodder. That would mostly be a passive effort, though. Post-game team could possibly be:

 

Genesect @ arbitrary item, maybe Amulet Coin

Timid, Download, 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe

- Bug Buzz

- Ice Beam

- Thunderbolt

- Flamethrower

 

Keldeo @ arbitrary item

Timid, Justified, 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe

- Surf

- Secret Sword

- Icy Wind

- nothing of note (why don't you learn Dive or Waterfall, dude, that's not cool)

 

Victini @ arbitrary item

Adamant, Victory Star, 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

-V-create

-Fusion Bolt

-Brick Break (note: change to Zen Headbutt)

-U-turn

 

Rotom-C @ arbitrary item (notice a pattern, here)

Modest, Levitate, some EV spread that I forget

- Thunderbolt

- Leaf Storm

- Will-O-Wisp

-Thunder Wave

 

Salamence @ blah

Naive, Moxie, 64 Atk / 192 SAtk / 252 Spe

- Draco Meteor

- Dragon Claw

- Earthquake

- Fire Blast

 

and a spot for Braviary to stay as an HM slave (Cut / Fly / Strength / Rock Smash, although Cut and Rock Smash are so sparsely used that it barely matters). I don't particularly care about all the Audino grinding involved (they're all coming over at Lv. 50 with the exception of Genesect and Keldeo, which are at 20), because it's super easy and quick to get to very high levels, especially with the Lucky Egg that you are conveniently supplied with. That's not even including that these 'mons get an EXP boost from having a different OT. I'm even restricting myself to using the Pokemon that aren't Lv. 100 from White 1 to attempt to keep some semblance of challenge. I managed to put together a FWG core, a Steel, and a Dragon, along with some status to help catch random stuff on the way. I'm making the postgame basically be "Genesect's quest to the P2 Lab to get the Douse Drive, a.k.a. the only Drive that matters at all."

 

My rationale behind the chosen members (I have access to other goodstuffs, but not much that wouldn't be obscenely overlevelled) is as follows: Keldeo has Surf and a strong Fighting-type move, which is always good for fighting your rival's Bouffalant and other bulky Fighting-weaks. Genesect provides useful coverage all in one Pokemon, along with a backup user of Fire- and Electric-type moves, but perhaps most of all, it has Ice Beam and resists Dragon. Victini completes the set of accessible Gen V Event Legendaries, but more importantly gives me a strong physical Pokemon with neat coverage and is a stepping stone towards a FWG core. Rotom-C (the lawn mower, for those who aren't familiar with the abbreviations) completes a FWG core, gives me STAB Electric, and can throw two kinds of status around, all in one. Levitate is nifty too, since I was getting a bit weak to Ground moves. Mence is a nuke and can handle some pretty stacked teams, given that Draco Meteor is great at netting a Moxie boost to snowball sweep. Fighting resistance is cool as well. Braviary loves field moves, but impassable Waterfalls suck, so maybe Keldeo's filler will become Strength and Braviary will become a Dragonite with Waterfall and Fly. After all preparations are made (and I get through this pile of college stuff), the postgame shall begin. Afterwards, I'll focus on catching at least 300 Pokemon for both a 1.5x multiplier on the Critical Capture rate and the Oval Charm, so breeding will become a lot easier whenever I get to doing that. That also inherently comes with unlocking the Nature Preserve, and therefore a guaranteed shiny Haxorus, so that's cool as well. I'll probably go with Adamant Mold Breaker Choice Band with Outrage / Superpower / Aqua Tail / Earthquake or something.

 

I propose that this thread is used by people to document their progress with BW2, among the previous purposes. All in favor, document your progress or something, I guess?

[Nenni 27]

Hey guys. I haven't seen an official thread for pokemon yet I have seen a few pokemon roleplaying threads and seemed as there were some pokemon fans on this forum that I would like to create a place for all of them to meet.

 

So in this thread feel free to talk bout anything pokemon related. From competitive battling to anime this is the place for all things pokemon! Please respect all others opinions and ideas!

Yellow and silver are my favorite versions, it just gets old with the same gameplay in every generation and minor pokemon addition.

[Lostwanderer 367]

To anyone who's intrested in the Trading card game, on sunday i'm off to sydney to compete in battle roads, with the Eels deck, mainly because i ahvnt bothered to make my own new deck since the rotation, so far my record for placing at battle roads is 2nd, 3rd and 3rd.

[Zanther 15]

This may be a good place to start in asking but does anyone know of a way to find out what the good move sets were for Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon? My friends and I are doing a type of major pokemon compatition to include things like who has the most complete dex, ect and in the proccess will be battling with teams from each gen. I know Serebii has (mostly) Gen 3 up to 5 (limited on 5th though) sets but really nothing from the R/B/Y and G/S/C era.

[Warmsoul 9]

i like pokemon it was my favorite game though i like it because i had nothing to play back when they didn't make ps3 or ps2 so thats what i played.

[Captain Marvelous 544]

D-Arts Pokemon Mewtwo and Charizard have been announced... these figures are just beatiful

 

 

Also looking at the top, you can see Blastoise and Venasaur

[LMW-YBC 102]

Well, I wouldn't say I was a fan of it now. I don't take that big of an interest to it than I did back, say, 8-9 years ago. Back then, I used to watch it whenever I was bored or was just needing some anime. I've only ever played the old Pokémon games, and although I enjoyed playing them, I'd almost always choose Mario over it. The new Pokémon games just don't catch my eye, and I've tried watching the old episodes again, but I can't relate to them anymore unfortunately.

[Unoriginalbrony777 3]

I only played generations 3 and 5 and there fun but im not much of an rpg fan.

 

Though the anime is pretty good. My two little brothers are big pokemon fans though.

[Dr. Vojislav Seselj 691]

I wub Pokemans. At least, I wub'd pokemans. My first Poke game was Fire Red. I FRICKEN' LOVED THAT GAME.

My first and favorite Pokemon (omfg, I almost said pony) was Bulbasaur. I named him fricken' Albert.

And then I got Diamond. Then I erased my old FR save game. I wish I hadn't.

Diamond was overhyped. But it was still decent. I played frequently 'till 09. And then I moved to Serbia.

 

EDIT: oyea, I've seen Black and White. WHY POKEMON??? I think B/W will be the game that kills off the franchise. But B/W 2 for the 3DS looks amazing and makes me want a 3DS.

[Radiance64 7,053]

So what's everyone's favorite type(s)? Mine's gotta be Dark, and the best Dark types were introduced in B/W imo, like Scrafty(best Dark type), Hydreigon, and Zoroark.

Pretty sure B/W 2 is a DS game, as I've played White 2 on both my DS Lite and 3DS.

[Lost Profile 644]

Would you call me a fan if I ocationly play white and white 2 on an emulator?

 

I use to play diamond and platinum on a DS light...(remember that?)

 

I stumble appon the TV show sometimes...

 

Would this be considered a fan? Idk....

Oh. Well... it has 3D effects? IDK.

DARKRAI FTW! I remember getting him at a special ToysRUs event back when Diamond/Pearl was super popular. :3

[Zanther 15]

Mine has always been Dark and Psychic types, though the bug are nice and fun to play with. Then normal due to all the crazy things you can do with them.

[Flutter_shy_FTW 29]

my favorite pkm has gotta be...

.

this muhfucka right here...people underestimate him, but hyper fang (learned at level 15) is badfuckingass and it can basically learn any type of move out there...I remember one-hit ko'ing brocks, misty's and surge's pkm with this badass

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

1. Pikachu

2. Raichu

3. Infernape

4. Lucario

5. Blaziken

6. Dewott

 

These are my Top 6. I'm also a fan of the legendaries, mostly the newer ones. Mewtwo is really cool, but Giratina seems to stick with me.

[Flashwriter 3]

I Parasprite agree... you pretty much read my mind ._....

 

My favorite pokemon is Joltion.

I like Joltion because of his awesome playing cards.

Also he is a sweet pokemon to have in the old game cube game:Pokemon XD Gale of darkness

 

 

My favorite game is Pokemon mysterydongon red virsion

[Solar Wind 595]

Favorite pokemon is hands down the biggest baddest most amazing pokemon ever.

 

Not the best pic but you get the picture. Also If anyone wants to battle over wifi, I have A DSI Soul silver, Black, and Pearl. Just quote or PM me AND I can take you down!

Cool, you're a serb too? Usually Serbians aren't that good at english, so I'm surprised at your great grammar!

 

And FYI, BW2 are also for the DS :3

[Forlong 1,726]

Only the Generation 1 & 2 games. The rest are garbage. Why is the gameplay as slow as it was 16 years ago? The combat in Pokemon was horrible and boring. Fix it already!

It really depends on how people define a "fan", I consider anyone that likes it a fan, weather they're a casual player like you, or a hardcore competitive battler like me. Edited October 29, 2012 by WillieNelson

[Dr. Vojislav Seselj 691]

HELL FUCKIN' YEAH! And probably the only Poke-loving brony Serb that mentions pony stuff in class.

Also, Y U MOVE TO SWEDENNNN?

Haha, actually I'm born in Sweden, my dad moved here during the war and stuff, it is a long story XD

 

I've heard from my dad though that in Serbia they don't really accept things that you aren't supposed to like. Get it? Like didn't they have to cancel the pride parade or something? :s

Actually, the battle system in Black and White got a lot faster and more streamlined, and the battle mechanics make a lot more sense. Pre-gen 4, Thunder, Fire, and Ice Punch were all special moves, while Shadow Ball was physical. A category for each move rather than each type makes a hell of a lot more sense.
