I just want to make it clear that this will not work in Gen V, it can try to, but it will have very little success. However, in Gen IV, this might have some success. First off, Scarftar royally screws your whole team, when it's switched in it's probably going to take half your team before you can even get rain set up again. Let's say you've just switched in zapdos, roosted off any SR damage and given Scarftar a free switch in. It OHKOs Zapdos with Stone edge, so then you may switch to electivire, for cross chop, only to have him OHKOd (If rocks are out), so then you're next best bet is to send out Ludicolo, who is 2HKOd by stone edge, while it can't OHKO ttar... You see the problem here . Electivire is a generally poor pokemon. His role on this team is to eliminate other weather types, and he's not going to do that any time soon. So I suggest running either scizor or lucario in his place. Lucario is perfect with Azelf and Zapdos as it can come in on both Stone edge and Pursuit and set up, then commence to sweep . Scizor however plays a better role for this team, as it can come in on the aforementioned attacks and scout the opponent's team, whilst being able to kill both abomosnow and tyranitar. Thunder isn't that great a move, the rain isn't going to be there forever and once it runs out you're down a stab attack; and you don't want that. In all honesty, though, rain dance teams don't really do all that well in the OU environment, in UU there is no Hippowdon or Tyranitar to worry about, so it can have great success there. So IMO, lose the rain and make a functional team with the current skeleton, or if you're adamant about the rain, remake your team for the UU environment.

The free space finder, finds free space. You use it with XSE/ Advanced Map. You simply load your rom up in FSF, copy the offset and then you use it through XSE. It's been a while since I've done it, but the FSF isn't hard to use at all, and you can learn basic -> Advanced scripting at Pokécommunity and other websites. Give it a go, it can be a lot of fun .

I love Project Pokémon So yeah I haven't been as active as I'd like to be lately, got no excuses, but I miss all the old people I used to play on shoddy with. Not seen you all in ages, and now the server's down, as far as I'm aware ._. Gonna try and post more 'round here, but I feel out of touch, haven't even finished BW yet, and still haven't really come to terms with most of the new BW stuff, I mean I know it all... but I just don't know if I like it or not... Feel too old . And if this post is anything to go by, my post quality isn't going to be exactly excellent anyway, haha. I suppose this was slightly spam, Sorry . Anyway, ProjectPokémon love thread... go!

Isn't the colour code for the typings?

Glad to see this bad boy up and posted . Also cool to see my lovely Louis up there too . It's also cool to see some of the sets I'm planning on running are quite valid too . For Swana, You can make quite a good set that kind of slaves it yet makes it offencively viable by running Fly/ Surf/ Ice Beam/ Roost. I'll probably be running back through this when I decide to finish this run through. I can't bring myself to play this game much though

Ok I'll give this a quick answer... well try to. 1] People do play competitively over Wi-Fi, however the Wi-Fi environment is very different to the simulator based environment. The Key difference is the duration of the game. That being said, when you are playing Wi-Fi if you are impatient or do not want to be spending an hour in a battle, you can basically only play Offence, where as in a simulator Matches are played much more quickly due to limited visuals; thus stall is a very viable game plan. I suggest you go to Smogon to look up the different play styles. If you are going to play over wifi instead of on a simulator, I suggest you still download a simulator for team testing purposes. I.E Before you make your team in on your game (which can be an arduous task) make it first on the simulator and test it's viability. If it doesn't work, you've saved yourself a lot of time. 2] People make their teams using every method you can think of. Some will take the time to catch every pokemon in their team with Perfect IVs through RNG abuse (search that here or on google to find out more) and EV train their pokemon by hand, others will use an AR to generate their pokemon, and others use PokeSav/Pokegen. Know that hacking pokemon into your game for Nintendo based Tournaments will get you disqualified from the tournament. I won't go into the ins and outs of all that, that's for a different topic. As for the "general consensus" A lot of people do frown on those that hack pokemon into their game. 3] For hardware you can use an Action replay. For Software you can download PokeGen (follow the link in sig for that). Also Download Pokémon Online. That's the battle simulator. You can find that by Googling "Pokémon Online Simulator." The best thing you can do is familiarise yourself with everything related to every pokémon. It sounds like it'd be a task, but it will definitely help you. I don't mean learn what level X pokémon learns Y attack, or the pokedex number of Pokémon X, But rather learn what moves are physical, what moves are special, understand the impact DVs and just basically learn everything that a pokemon can do with its given attributes. I recommend learning the mechanics of the game by searching through serebii, and for the actual pokemon I recommend looking through the Smogon Strategy dex... and learn about EVERY pokemon there (for 5th gen pokemon, go into the smogon forum and look for "5th Gen Analyses"). That way you'll never be surprised. There are also some fantastic articles on smogon that will help you learn about all the various aspects of the metagame, so give all of those a read, too. All the while gain experience by actually battling through the simulator; theory is nothing if you don't know anything about the practical side. I guess that's about it. If you have any questions feel free to PM me or reply to this topic and we'll see if we can't help you out some more.

Good to see you, buddy.

So you're not max? ._.

What did you do with Max? ._.

Welcome to the site, sunny day. You It's nice to meet you, and certainly nice to see a detailed opening thread... Even if the font colour did half melt my face. That aside, I, too, am a musician. I play Guitar, bass, drums and a little pianeee. are There is a bounty of information on all things ROM here, as you've seen, so you should find yourself getting heavily engrossed in that section in no time . Troll'd Again, nice to meet you, and enjoy your stay.

I'm sorry, I misread. Welcome to the site and enjoy your stay.

Hey Max ._.

Sweet freaking Jesus. Be Quiet and Drive (far Away) - Deftones

One of my favourite past songs . The Sound of Muzak - Porcupine Tree

Welcome the the site, Hawk. I, myself, am more partial to Noctowl. T'is cooler . As for competitive battling, I'm also into it, alas our Competetive battling section is a little dead at the moment. I would happily lend a hand where possible, though. I hope you enjoy your stay.

My favourite of the 3 changes a lot. I used to hate Moltres, but it's grown to be my favourite .

Welcome to the site, Demilz S'always nice to see another old school player . If you're looking to battle in the mean time, there is always Pokémon Online, which is a Pokémon battle simulator. We do host our own server there, however it is quite quiet at times, so send me a personal message (PM) if you want to arrange a battle there. As for the event codes, feel free to look around and post in the RAM section for ARDS codes and such, just remember to actually search before you post . If there's anything else I can help you with, just ask. Enjoy your stay.
