Actually, there are going to be a cart designed specifically for the DSi. But I doubt Nintendo would put their 2nd biggest franchise on something that's incompatible with the millions of DS/Lites out there. I'm even go so far as to bet they'll keep the DS Lite in production and knock the price down a bit, so that it appeals more to the casual gamer.

4kids doesn't do the dub anymore. The Pokemon Company, and their American partner Pokemon USA, is taking over basically everything related to Pokemon in America. The dub is now done in-house, resulting in the voice actor's changing (though some old va's are now used for minor rules). Also, the Pokemon games are getting in-house translators, rather than the guy who's done every single one so far.

It's not like they're deserving of respect in the first place. When your website's forum has a club called "Pokephilia", then something is wrong. Not necessarily with the running of the forums, but the type of fans it caters to. Having a big chunk of active members who are in the general "Creep" category (furries, fan fic writers/artists, etc...) makes it less appealing to the broader, "non-creep" type of fan.

While you're free to post here (thanks for actually reading the rules, btw), how I got the other starters from Sinnoh is just throwing an egg of whatever I started with, hatch it, and put it on the GTS. Check back in an hour, and it should be all taken care of. Starter for starter trades are pretty easy to make. Just make sure YOU put up the offer. Don't SEARCH for one.

Correct. Using a single Pokemon from a banned tier makes you play in that tier. 5 UU and one OU? You have a team in OU that'll be facing OU threats. 5 OU and one Uber? You'll be facing the threats of the Uber tier. Since I noticed you mention "shiny", I'm assuming that this is for the Wi-Fi environment, and you're going by standard rules for competitive play. Next time though, make sure to explictly say so While Focus Band isn't banned, it only has a 10% chance of working. 90% of the time, it's like holding nothing at all. And remember, Item Clause is not standard rules. The problem with HP Ground is the only common starter who'll even care is Heatran. Yeah, it'll hit Tyranitar and Metagross for SE damage, but they're bulky enough not to care. HP Fire knocks around Scizor, HP Ice hits most of the dragons. Your third slot has better set-up moves than Screech. Taunt shuts down set up, Thunder Wave cuts down speed (useful when you're up against non-suicide leads), Light Screen gives you some Special Defense help. If you're really determined to do Screech/Explode, then you can put it in Hidden Power's slot. It's EVs are all over the place. There are many better sweepers for OU than Crawdaunt. This needs to be replaced. I think Starmie can serve this same role. Starmie w/ Choice Specs/Scarf Natural Cure Timid 252 sp atk/252 speed/6 HP - Trick - Surf -Thunderbolt - Ice Beam Scarf is recommended over Specs if you're determined to use Trick and ditch a Choice item onto Blissey. But if you'd rather pack a punch and only Trick away as a last resort, use Specs. It also can absorb status. Yes, it can also Rapid Spin, but that doesn't fit on a Choice Sweeper set. If you choose to go without Trick, Psychic, Grass Knot, or HP Fire can fit into the first slot instead. The 40 HP for Weavile on Smogn's standard set is for very specific moves. Life Orb Gengar's Thunderbolt or Azelf's Fire Blast. But Weavile really shouldn't be coming in on anything, so unless you're amazing at prediction, use the 252/252/6 spread. Weavile needs to do as much damage in as little time as possible, so Superpower is recommended over Brick Break. Tyranitar should not be used, because it's ability will then damage everyone else on the team. Choose someone else. So your last 3 just aren't competitively viable. Smeargle should be using Spore, stat boosting and baton passing. That's about it. Spikes/whatever else can be done by others. I'll make some suggestions for your 3 slots later.

I think they'll take out the ghost town of Kanto and instead extend the plot of Johto a bit as well as probably adding a Battle Frontier or some fairly obvious post-game building/island.

Please follow the trade forum rules before posting.

And...where is this happening? I'm not noticing this as some type of wide-spread problem like you are. There's a total of 19 reports in the reports forum. If this respect problem was that big, I'd think there'd be more reports. I've only seen a handful of disrespectful, mean spirited posts. And for the most part, they're not even directed at PP or members of PP forums, but other people in the fan community or at other fan sites. I also disagree that anything on the forums will hold the site back. SPPF has tons of idiots, furries, and otherwise creepy characters. But the main site itself still is quality regardless of the creepy fan-fic drawings posted on the forums. Same goes for Smogon. It's known for it's main sites, not it's forum.

There's really no need to bring up another site, at least in the context of this thread. It's not like the staff here have any control outside of PP.

Since there is now a pack on the main site, I'll close this. If the event pack needs to be discussed, a new thread can be started. Or if you have questions about it, contact an Admin directly.

This is not the battling forum. It's the trading forum. Read the rules before posting. THEN feel free to make a new thread.

I closed your first thread. I don't know why you thought making the same thread was a great idea. *locks*

You have a Shaymin, and you want to know how to get a Shaymin??? Sounds like you already know the answer.

Please post in the correct forum. Normally, I'd move it. But your OP doesn't follow the Battling forum rules. So, for now, locked.

If this had even a bit of truth to it, I'd merge it with the Glitch thread. But it doesn't. I've noticed on other forums, glitch threads become mostly lies and delusions. Please, let's try to keep it factual. Thanks

I think I'll sticky this thread, but leave it open so others can get their thoughts in.

Original post. I don't know what "did intro" means. Read the rules, and edit your first post to comply with them. That means: Stating the environment (Competitive Wi-Fi, Competitive Shoddy, In-Game E4+Gym/General In-game, Battle Tower/Frontier, official tournament, PBR) So far, you did this for your battle tower team...but only one team per thread. Make another thread if you have a seperate team, especially if it's for a different environment) Posting your Pokemon in the proper format. Any other rules that go along with it (there are a few more rules for Competitive RMTs, for example) Again, read the rules, edit your post so it follows them. Or this gets locked.

Please format your OP to comply with the rules, or this gets locked. Thanks.

Reading through your post now, I understand. But you gave no indication that it wasn't directed to SS specifically because well...it's his RMT, so of course (without a quote from someone that you're specifically responding to) I'm going to assume you're talking about his thread. As for weak rates, I don't think yours was one of them. But read through the first page. There are tons of crap rates that involve little to no justification in their posts.

I...haven't noticed this problem. If you're in a serious discussion, then there'll be a certain level of debate, and debate is fine. People don't have to agree with each other, and it may get a bit heated. But being passionate about your point is fine. And as you said, people shouldn't get disagreeing/being passionate with insults. Now if someone does turn a discussion into something personal, that's flaming, and they should be reported so it can be taken care of. But even with opinions, it isn't always as simple "Well I guess we'll just agree to disagree." People can have crap opinions. They might just be talking out of their ass (like I do :bidoof: ), or use some type of horrible logical fallacy, or not justifying their opinion, etc... And people should feel free to point that out. But as I said, I haven't really noticed this as a problem. If it is (and I tend to keep to a few forums), report it, and I'm sure a mod or admin will look into it.

This is the correct forum, but you need to post all your friend codes that are necessary or this'll get locked. And if anyone scams you/keeps your Pokes, let me know via PM.

Let the mods make that decision. SS has posted complete teams, in the proper format, with pics, with a through strategy for the team and individual Pokes. His teams are perfectly fine to be posted here, and I wish more would take his posts as an example of what should be posted here. Anyway, keep it up guys. It's been pretty good since the thread was re-opened.

Patience is a virtue. Make another post re-asking questions/demanding answers and be infracted. This forum is still relatively low key, so your questions aren't guaranteed to be answered in 5 minutes or less. I think you'll live if you have to wait 24 hours for a question to be answered.

Hey everyone. Let's hold off on the rates until the OP edits his thread to comply with the rules. If/when he does that, please feel free to go on and rate. But without more information, giving him a rate won't necessarily help because we don't know if it's in-game, competitive, etc...
