  1. <p><p><p><p><p>Ah that's cool. I just beat the Ice gym. Mostly due to my Litwick, who just turned Lv. 40 and my Vanillish, who still did not level, but put up a tremendous fight against Beartic. I opened with Litwick and used Inferno, but it missed. It looked fun though, so I had to try out the 100 BP/50% accurate move. The enemy ice cream Astonished Litwick, but Flame Body burned it (yes, I have Flame Body...). Second time, Inferno hit and I was astounded by its animation. It was pretty cool. Then came out Beartic and my own Vanillish with Flash Cannon was out to battle it. First turn I Acid Armoured and the bear's Slash hardly did any damage. Then came Flash Cannon, which barely did anything, but it DID lower the bear's SpDef. The bear swaggered after that, which made me facepalm, but the good thing this battle?</p></p></p></p></p>

  4. Wait, so this "Max" is a troll that is banned on many forums and people are accused of being Max or something? Well, forget about that for now. Welcome back. Though we do encourage individualism, that pink somewhat hurts my eyes.
  5. Sigh. Matthew 24:7 is coming to fruition more frequently than it has before. I'm ashamed to say I just caught the news now and my prayers will go to the victims as well.
  6. Lillipup is definitely a good Pokemon to play with due to his sheer strength and pretty decent bulk. I probably should have trained mine but I went all bravo and went all Snivy. *facepalm* Watchog was definitely one tough customer, I'll give you that much. Retaliate had my Level 20 Servine lose like 50 + HP. While people look at the stats of Watchog and go "he's just useless", I'm telling you, I've had more trouble fighting the many Watchogs in this game than some of the other Pokemon because of his ginormous movepool and annoying things like Hypnosis and Confuse Ray and Super Fang. He even has an early Crunch! Yeah, when you're fighting every other Pokemon in a competitive battle, he's probably not getting TOO far, but in game he certainly gets on my nerves quite easily. New pokes have forgettable designs with LARGE stats (Conkledurr with 140 base attack? Chandelure with 145 SpA? Escavalier with 135 attack? Haxorus with 147 attack? Yeah I can go on but the numbers are ridiculous). An Archeops 7 levels under dealt over 100 damage to my Serperior with Acrobatics just before. My team so far is Antoinette the Serperior Level 41 (F), Heart the Unfezant Level 35 (F), and a newly trained iScream the Vanillish Level 35 (M) (so happy it evolved right now!). That Ice Cream took a LONG time to train and now that I am at Celestial Tower, I will introduce the newest addition to my team Soul the Level 26 Litwick (F). Now to find a Water Pokemon...
  7. Ooh, that is definitely an innovative strategy. I have not really thought about using Wrap + Leech Seed. It's a good way to subdue a Pokemon but it gets tiresome easily only because it seems better against, well, a "boss battle". Antoinette is currently a level 40 Serperior now as I try to navigate my way through Chargestone Cave. Movelist so far is Return, Leaf Blade, Leaf Tornado, and Coil (goodbye Growth ) My final moveset might be: Return Leaf Blade Coil Giga Drain Seems to be the only logical way for me to work with. A fellow member Tbird is going this way in the end, self styled after Louis XIV, the Sun King: Sunny Day Solarbeam Return Growth There seems to be many ways to use Serperior.

  10. Er... GB Player is an item that allows you to toggle between the new music and the old music. After you get all 16 badges or something you can get that item from a Gamefreak employee in Celadon City.
  11. I'm a classics person so I'm not all too familiar with the pop music my little brother and most of my Korean friends listen to much though. Speaking Korean, yeah it can be hard for Westerners but the writing part is not as bad since there is an alphabet system with consonant and vowel. Though it all depends on your strength and weaknesses in these areas... Lalalalalalala Tbird is troll How long have I played piano you say? Around 7 years, but I somewhat stopped 2 years ago
  12. Sure, if we can all get to know you more. Welcome to Project Pokemon and er... (what did I have to say er...) *runs in fury* oh yeah, have fun! I played Brawl very little but I am quite familiar with the original Mario series that were rampant in NES and SNES... fun times.

    Yo

    Well hello there Andrew. It is good to have more people join in this crazy empire of Project Pokemon. Welcome aboard and I hope your questions are answered. The forums have been quite inactive these days but hopefully it will start to rise.

    I'm new.

    Oh erm... there is an "Edit Post" button there. The people here are just shy, and I'm usually not available. But welcome to Project Pokemon and I hope you enjoy your stay.
  15. Ah, thank you very much!
  16. [sprite]282[/sprite] Well, now that the game has been released into foreign countries such as Europe and McDonald Land, let's make a thread where people can share their reaction to how they felt Pokemon Black and White has been overall, whether it fulfilled their expectations, where some aspects were lacking, etc. I will start and I will try to be brief. I challenge you to a Pokemon battle! All right, first, I will admit, I have been overly critical at Pokemon Black and White before it came out, and I do realise that. In fact, I will also concede that some of the criticisms I have been stating were quite unfair but it happens during first impressions. It was just mostly due to the repetitiveness of the premise (Pokemon journey, guy with a cap, Team Plasma, etc...) and it was growing tiresome. It was also the icky design of the new Pokemon, and that is something I'm still struggling to get over with. I have warmed up to some, but other than that, it still hits me. But is this game truly the 40/40 that it was given? Let's see... "Dude the girl's mad hot O_O" ~ Gin First off, the main characters' designs are somewhat pretty bland, but I like the simplicity of the male protagonist's design. As for the female... I'm sorry, she is too repulsive. Dawn of DPP still holds the crown as the best designed female protagonist in my opinion. I'm rather appalled at the BW girl's attire and how... unchildish she looks, rather taking the form of an uncouth rebellious teenage girl. I guess many will disagree with me, particularly Gin as you can see, but my sentiment still stands. (Stares at Skyla's attire and begins to facepalm). Professor Juniper is the first female professor in any Pokemon games, and usually, I do not like it when women take the roles where a man usually is. However, Juniper is quite quirky and seems to be an amiable character, so I do not mind her much actually. As for your two best friends, Cheren and Bianca... they are very well designed and clearly their personalities develop a lot throughout the game. I especially was enamored with Bianca. While I do not agree with anything that has the slightest thought of rebellion against parents, young Bianca sets off on a journey to strengthen herself as a person through a Pokemon journey. She is quite the ditzy girl, but nonetheless, she is resourceful and quite helpful and her presence is always nice... except when she does that whole surprise battle thing (only happened once so far though). Bianca's just really cute in her own way and is definitely a well thought out character, and her development is quite good, as she turns from a klutzy girl who even lost her Munna to Team Plasma once into a more confident character, even though she is still a bit flawed. Nonetheless, that certain charm about Bianca certainly gets to me and makes her one of the most lovable characters in this game in my opinion. I'd like to see how she reconciles with her father later, as that whole outburst in the 4th gym city was quite emotional, but she promised her father she would return after her journey. We will have to see how she ends up. Cheren on the other hand, seemed a bit boring to me, but he's quite understandable. He is someone who knows so much about Pokemon that he wants to become the best. Almost like an elitist trainer, in fact. He even calls Bianca hopeless for her conduct when she battled the protagonist in his room. Cheren also heals your Pokemon at many times and allies with you against Team Plasma and at other times too. However, he has this little rivalry going on with the main character, always wondering why he can never beat you in spite of having the same badges as the main character does. He just battles to win and become the strongest, and he truly shows his ambition throughout the game. He is like the real rival of the game and is incredibly ambitious. Is he likable? Well certainly, but sometimes he is quite patronising and certainly likes to make surprise battles every time. He is on the road to become the Pokemon Champion and NO ONE (except Gary Oak) is gonna stop him. Well, except me. I will This is where the game truly shines: character development. It seems every characters play a major role and you want to know how they end up and why they decide to act a certain way and all. This game is not short of a cast, and the story will certainly want you to get to know more these characters. N is especially a good one. I liked the whole beginning coronation scene and the whole Ghetsis and Plasma instilling revolutionary thoughts to people about "Pokemon liberation". Monarchy and revolution topics really excite me, they really do. As for the scenery? Extremely gorgeous! Even the first town looks amazingly well done, and I was really in awe when I crossed the bridge to the third city. Then I was bewildered by the HUGE city that beheld me and that the third gym was really going to be fought here. They had everything: piers, business buildings, streets, busy people, dark alleys with muggers that don't mug, a park, vending machines, etc. This is certainly a huge step up from the old games, though a bit too much. I'm rather concerned about the World Map resembling the Eye of Horus though, but I will not get to that. Overall, it was quite the amazing panorama and I believe I have not seen everything yet. Now for the gameplay... this is where some things fall apart. Many things were just way too repetitive. Yes, I know 1st routes should not be that great, but only two species? Lillipup and Patrat? No bird even... so it was a trolling. Then, all the trainers spamming Lillipup and Patrats all over and over. Some had Purrloins, but that was like once in a blue moon. And those trolls you call Team Plasma keep sending out the same boring stuff over and over. EPIC GOON FIGHT, er no, another Patrat? GRRR! In fact, if the first two gym leaders were not gym leaders, I would have easily mistaken them as regular trainers because they too, use Lillipup or Herdier or Watchog and even the elemental monkeys, which become more prevalent later in the game by gazillion fold. Seriously, this is what was dragging down the beginning of the game. I wanted to fight a bit of variety... it's not too much to ask with the 649 Pokemon out there. Well, no, I don't want to fight a level 70 Mewtwo from the start, but you get what I mean. Then afterwards... all these Timburrs and Woobats get on my nerves! Speaking of Woobats... Woobats. Really now? One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish Zubat Newbat Woobat Swoobat. Great. And while I have warmed up to some of the new Pokemon designs, some of them are just... incredibly trollish. I go near Pinwheel Forest, and all of a sudden, I am confronted by a Blue KARATE MAN they name SAWK. That was the funniest thing I've seen in my life, and I couldn't help but crack up so loudly. I wonder how the White Version people will feel with THROH. Ha ha THROH. Unfortunately, it took me 8 Great Balls to catch that Lv. 12 monster... and after that, I found a Lv. 15 one. Brilliant! That DESERT RESORT map is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING I cannot stand it! But I gruelingly decided to do all the sidequests there were so... no regrets. "This is badbadbadbadbadbadbad... or Plasbad for short!" ~ Team Plasma Grunt Also, as for the TMs being infinite, that's great. In fact, it's one of the best things to have ever happened in this generation. However, what I am displeased about is the fact that some of the GREATEST TMs such as Stealth Rocks or Dark Pulse being replaced by completely trollish moves. In fact, while Gamefreak clearly has a fetish for skyrocketing stats for some of the new Pokemon, they certainly were not so generous with the new moves. 30 BP moves everywhere! Hi Struggle Bug! You're my prize for defeating Burgh? No way! Incinerate? Like, what do I do with you? Even Feint went from 50 BP to 30 BP. Gamefreak really loves their 30 BP moves. Struggle Bug did like... 8 damage to my Servine, with STAB. Seriously. That's not to say this game has no innovation. There are some good innovations that personally I was about to do with a ROM hack I was developing, such as Gyms doubling as another building. 2nd gym was a library and a gym, 3rd gym an art gallery, etc... it was quite cool. How about nurses and doctors doubling as battlers and healers? I had those types of ideas too and I was rather amused that it took them this long to think of that. But an innovation is an innovation, and stuff like this may come in the near future. Overall, I'm only up to the 5th gym city and have not even done that whole part yet. However, this game is certainly looking pretty good for a Pokemon game, aside from a few nitpicks. It is mostly the storyline that is interesting me, and my level 35 Servine named Antoinette is certainly getting fun to play with (and also my Tranquill named Heart). In spite of the flaws it's overall pretty okay. No, it does not deserve that perfect score, and I have not covered everything that I wanted to cover (such as Kyurem's flaws, since that is not my main concern here), but the game has certainly exceeded my expectations. I've just started and already I am hooked. I'm resisting a little only because the beginning was too repetitive, the goons of this game are just completely ridiculous, and that desert resort map completely burned me out. But hey that's what deserts do to you. Now everyone share your sentiments about the latest Pokemon installment. Wraith Pokemon Black File 1.zip
  17. A quick question: when do I get HM03 (Surf)? The suspense is killing me and I REALLY want a new water Pokemon in my team. I am at the city with the 5th gym at the moment. I know, I should probably train Panpour, but maybe after the game. I want a Frillish
  18. ... but... Blizzard does not miss in Hail
  19. Just forget about it for now. Get out there and er... go to the main forums? Yes sir. That will do.
  20. Er... CAPS IN THIS SENSE IS TOTALLY NOT OKAY. I hope you understand Internet etiquette. Though the majority certainly does not follow them, it is best that you at least try to be polite and all. I don't care for misspelled words or whatnot, but at least the effort to make one's posts concise and clear. But in your case, it was blatant trolling... in a way.
  21. Well, just stay true to yourself then. Do not attempt poor grammar/spelling because it will only give you a bad reputation, as people do not look favourably upon people of that calibur. Anyhow, welcome aboard.
  22. The Kami trio are based off the following: Tornelos is so Fujin... the god of the wind Voltolos is definitely Raijin... the god of thunder (you see the prefix Rai- in Raichu and Raikou too) Landlos... well, supposedly, he is based off Inari,the god of fertility but I always see Inari represented as female, not usually male. If only they had done that here in Pokemon and totally not a lazy copy/paste/recolour method. Eh whatever. People refer to the three as genies... they do present an uncanny resemblance to genies, but I do not think they were based off Arabian tales.

  24. It is mine too. My first is Korean. Hope you don't mind the fiesta. And yes, we like to be mean and try to drive people out ASAP because we are savage angry barbarians who do not like invaders in our territory. Tbird prefers to do it naked though. But tell me something, were you the former "Cycling Road"? Obvious question, but confirmation first.
  25. Ok, enough is enough. I think he's had it by now. It says so in his title, he's apparently "totaly not max", therefore, he is not Max.
