I thought I'd start a thread speculating as to how the competitive battling scene might change, and how the new pokemon might fit into it. Could be interesting. At the moment there's not a huge deal known, however, in knowing abilities to certain pokemon we can see what types of teams they'll fall into etc. Also as there's more known, more can be speculated . In the spoiler below I'll update what we know of each pokemon as and when the information comes. Feel free to use it as mini encyclopaedia of new information if you will. I will be relying mainly on the information given from Serebii. If you think anything else should be added, post with a reliable source. UPDATING HAS ENDED AS GAME HAVE BEEN RELEASED A few note worthy sites to gander over: Credit to OPers The new Pokémon Dream World Abilities New Moves Level Up Moves Egg Moves TM Learnsets Up To Date Discoveries pertaining to new game mechanics and or/ changes to pre-existing ones As stated, the idea is to discuss and speculate on the information given. Try to stay away from saying things such as "I think _pokemon_ will learn _move_." But feel free to say things like "If _pokemon_ learned _move_ It could probably Work well as a _role_ because of _reason/Nature/Other known moves_" I know they seem similar but the latter better provokes discussion, and also provokes, at best, solid educated guesses. And mods feel free to reformat as you wish.

Wow great find Rollbat is about dumb enough to work :L. I think I prefer the name Wooguru. zabrarbez sounds like an awesome name personally. The mantis dragon isn't a new find, however, I can't believe I didn't see the link between the two pokemon. The Bug typing is interesting, We could potentially see more rapid spinners and pokemon like Crobat/Honchcrow/Staraptor entering teams to help handle it if it's destructive enough. The ice weakness is mandatory for a dragon at this point lol. As is the rock weakness. nothing doing 4x damage might make it hard to counter too. As for Doryuuzu, it just looks like Zangoose went ahead and had it's wicked way with empoleon lol. (and it does look a little like a Ttar dragon hybrid )

Ok .. so what exactly did you do?

Hold A or press it continually I thought that was a bug on my emulator :L obviously not. Or just put it on after the loading screen. It works .

Report it to randomspot555, He's usually on soon and usually on for quite a while, plus he doesn't take no nonsense .

L+R to activate, pick up at the mart

Yeah, the best you can do is report it That's what I've done, and I guess it's just about waiting for a mod to remove it .

Have you got the .sav on your computer? This has never happened to me playing the cart, but when playing on an emulator (It's froze and when I try to play it tells me my last save was corrupt blah blah), I simply loaded the file into pokesav, clicked save and loaded it back up and it was all pretty fine. I don't know if it's the same or similar situation, but if you have the .sav backed up on the computer try it out.

Youch. Well have fun, man . And you're welcome .

Tremmers - Dead Letter Circus

Those three work and are legit, I would however, use them one at a time as my emulator froze when I tried to use multiple codes.

If it's a japaneze event the name will be in japanese characters. I can certainly test the crown beasts for you, however.

The code is for an english speaking game, it's the actual japanese event ripped straight from a wonder card, and you pick it up from the green dude

Just made that and it works perfect for me . L+R to activate

There you go that should work, sorry again for the mix up . Again L+R

Ok gimme 5 - 10 mins, though someone else might be at work on it.

Oh I see the problem. You asked for the wondercard, which is obtained via mystery gift (at the start page), so I made the code for that :L. My bad. I can redo the code for it to be picked in the mart... That is if you trust me .

:S It shouldn't have done that, it worked for mine? What exactly happened?

You shouldn't need to type any numbers in at all beside the IVs (and TID SID if you haven't uploaded your .sav and are making a pokemon from scratch) as far as I am away. It all works on a drop-box basis, keep at it it should click soon, it's a really simple and effective program.

Ok he were go I think this should work... It's one of my firsts, so It may not work, but expect it will . EDIT: In my ever so noobish ways I forgot to post the trigger lol. L+R pick it up through the mystery girlf blah blah blah. Tested and it works .

It's just been confirmed that Rankurusu, the amplification pokémon, is native to Pokémon white, and that Gochiruzeru, the celestial body pokemon, is native to Pokémon Black. I quite like, as I will be getting pokemon white. Simply because Wraith and I discussed the possibility of Gochiruzeru being the 'new Gardevoir', So this way I won't be treating it as such as I won't be obtaining it .

Weaknesses, just brief what comes to mind. Trick leads - Alakazam, Azelf, Persian etc General Scarf leads - Dragonite Faster taunt leads - Aero = pwned by icebeam, Weavile Locked into Hp water - Breloom, gyarados, Salamence, dragonite, Metagtross Any_water_type_w/_Ice beam Locked into energy ball - Heatran, Infernape, Blissey, Celeb, Gyarados, Salamence, dragonite, | fire/steel/grass types in general Locked into Leaf Storm - Same as above Locked into Focus Blast - Gengar, Rotom, Dusknoir, Gyarados, possibly salamence, but I'm not sure how much it would hurt it, same with dragonite Blissey, Gliscor (outspeeds and OHKO's this set w/ EQ), infernape, gyarados, scizor can hurt, flygon Any late game taunters such as gyardos, hazers and phazers such as swampert, skarmory, weezing, suicune. Walled by spiritomb. If you don't keep this is for more than a turn or two, then this thing shouldn't have any weakness. You want fire blast on the set as Flygon needs all the power it can get. However: Locked into EQ any levitaters - Gengar, gyarados, azelf, salamence, dragonite, flygon, rotom etc etc. Locked into outrage Vaporeon, suicune, gliscor, forretress, metagross, steelix, skarmory. Locked into Fire Blast Heatran, suicune, blissey. Those are my blatently obvious weaknesses that I can see. However your team should have most of them covered. Bulky waters and gyarados look Like they may pose threats, so if you can allocate a move for hp electric/thunderbolt/_electric attack_ then cool. However seeing as most bulky waters attack from the special side, and seeing as swampert won't hurt blissey too much, toxic stalling should remove those problems. I'm too tired to tell you how you counter those weaknesses, but in looking at ways you think you can counter them, you should devise a better strategy.

If that works for you then of course use it . I think your team is pretty much good now.

Go back to how you had your team, maybe adding one of shogun's sets. AND STICK WITH IT!!! . Your team was fine before. The espeon lead works like a poor man's alakazam, and baton pass does nothing for it that generally switching out wouldn't - Entry hazards are arguably more effective in the long run anyway - lasting up to a duration of the game, where as screens last 8 turns. Earthquake is terrible on blissey because of its low attack stat. The attrafusion works well, though most people won't stay in to let you annoy them for a whole game, similarly one that focuses on thunderwave would really help your team as you have a few slower sweepers - and also has the effect of permanently crippling the opponent. Toxic stalling is your bog standard, bread and butter 'works wonders' set.

Wellllll. (Posted in creative because ... well I'm asking for creative input ) My drummer left the band, and I've not drummed properly for about three years. I've had a little jam on the drums and it's pretty easy to get it back, but my speed, timing and over all accuracy is completely shot . So, I was wondering if any present day drummers would like to lend me some of their basic warm ups and/or cool rudiments to practice. Hell youtube videos would work to. I'm not looking for songs to learn; just practices etc... (though if there's anything that covers A LOT of technique at a nice level, then maybe I'll consider it.) (Stuff like this - )
