No, I don't recall any hints either. I cheated for those old Pokemon and were surprised Ruby/Sapphire had them programmed in them. My friends all wanted to know where I got them... But you know, it's Game Freak. They'll screw over anyone anytime... :-/
-
There's a lot of water animals, that's why... and they're very predictable. BTW Mudkip is a Mudskipper... I see some of those in Korea, my hometown, but I don't know their native area. Yeah, Grass is indeed creative... because we simply can't classify them!
-
Yeah, the only hope Pidgeot has is a hold item that doubles her attack or special attack... like something called Crimson Plume or something. Pidgeot is one of my favorite birds too. A Surfing and Flying Blissey? What?! O_O
-
Erm... no. As much as I like Pidgeot, I know it is the worst bird the game has to offer. Check out their base stats and ability and tell me which one is the better one. Here's a rant about Pidgeot <--- clicky EDIT: I'll compare them for you Name: Pidgeot Staraptor Ability: Keen Eye/Tangled Feet Intimidate HP: 83 85 ATK: 80 120 DEF: 75 70 SPATK: 70 50 SPDEF: 70 50 SPEED: 91 100 BST: 469 475 As you can see, Pidgeot loses out completely to Staraptor in every way other than defenses, but Intimidate helps out Staraptor's physical defense and Pidgeot isn't notable for surviving special attacks anyways. Useful moves relative to the Pokemon: Pidgeot: Brave Bird (bred from Staraptor -__-), U-turn, Pursuit, Aerial Ace, Quick Attack, Roost, Featherdance, Air Slash, Heat Wave Staraptor: Brave Bird, Aerial Ace, Quick Attack, Pursuit, U-turn, Close Combat Close Combat is what separates Staraptor from the other birds of his kind. Clearly Staraptor has the better advantage over Pidgeot.
-
And what about Lugia's role with the legendary birds? It was only explained in a movie... which I did NOT see.
-
Oh yeah... that. They're giving out all these "hints"... and watch them just own us by saying "We had you fooled all along!" *gets ready to be beaten up*
-
Blah... I don't know. An echidna with a fiery ring apparently doesn't seem appealing for me. Typhlosion looks somewhat cute back in Gold version... but later on... the aesthetics looked somewhat dull for me. Empoleon, Kecleon, Finneon, Lumineon, etc... isn't that awesome? They should all be Eeveelutions! But still, Empoleon just looks so cool. Seriously... I'm glad a Water starter got the lead for becoming the coolest looking starter yet. Of course... this depends on your opinion...
-
Some people have different preferences from yours... sure, I always keep my name, but some people like changing their names for like what... every 6 months?
-
Green was really an even older version of the US Red and Blue... when it was initially released as Red and Green in Japan. They made a Blue version after... which modified a lot of stuff to make the games actually playable (also changing some sprites as well). So the Red and Blue we have now is the Japanese Blue version split into two versions... Two versions were made due to version exclusives... I don't know why we would need another Green... but Venusaur's cool...
-
I don't know... it doesn't seem to register that for me... I think it was Gen IV's games that gave away the notion for a possible GSC remake.
-
That's always been the case (although I think Sceptile looks better than Blaziken and I find Meganium cute and Typhlosion not so appealing)... but Empoleon looks the coolest out of all (I mean really... a penguin in tuxedo!)
-
That's kind of mean... I like Swampert aesthetically, but yeah, Sceptile looks the best out of the three. But then again, they always do that to the water starters... Swampert rectified what was wrong with Quagsire during Gen II... although Quagsire gained Water Absorb. Swampert was SO dangerous in Gen III that so many random things packed HP Grass JUST to take Swampert down. Even without any investment in attack, Swampert countered Tyranitar, Metagross, Salamence, and many other common faces of the OU environment.
-
Pretty much. Ho-oh did play a role with the three legendary beasts... because some random lightning struck the tower with the beasts, fire burned the building, killing the beasts, and the rain fell after to douse the tower. Ho-oh revived them (he's based on a phoenix)... and he became their protector. Out of all three of them, Suicune is the closest to Ho-oh (I don't know why... does anyone know?)
-
I beg to differ. Bibarel destroys stuff in competitive battles with his two amazing abilities. People underestimate him... but he works well as deterrents against stuff like Cosmic Power Clefable and all. Graveler is okay in UU but probably not the best choice in OU because Rhyperior does what he does better. But Golem is a staple rock Pokemon in UU... and does his job well. Staraptor... you've got to be kidding... this is the best Normal/Flying birds out there with Close Combat and Brave Bird to take down birds' common counters. I think he's tied with Swellow as the best physical normal/flying bird.
-
What can Crobat do besides Fly and Defog? (still cannot imagine riding a bat to fly across the continent)
-
Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres... Mewtwo if you count him as a legendary. One of the legendary beasts roam around Kanto after the E4. If you picked Charmander, Suicune is roaming. Squirtle gets you Raikou... Bulbasaur gets you Entei... With event tickets you can get Deoxys-A in FR (Deoxys-D in LG), Lugia and Ho-oh.
-
Yeah, but think about it as if it were real life. Would a Golbat evolve into a (???) just because you don't have some upgraded National Dex? That's just so weird... and unthinkable. Maybe that world is hax!
-
Ok, since the person above me voted Kyogre, I picked Latias
-
My point exactly (regarding the DSi). No GBA slot = fail. I'll stick with my DS lite. I think Emerald came after FR/LG. Although I see no need for a remake (and the fact GSC was INCREDIBLY short), if they expanded Kanto and Johto by a larger scale, it would be awesome. Unfortunately, the geography of Johto was very linear, circular, and boring. :bidoof:
-
I'm tied between Kyogre and Latias as my favorites... both are excellent... although I'll admit, Latios is considered superior to his sister while Groudon was the better team player back in RSE thanks to Ho-oh.
-
Linoone with Belly Drum and Extremespeed is actually good competitively... at least in UU or a little over it. My top 5: 1) Mewtwo 2) Mewtwo All water Pokemon (particularly Squirtle I guess) and Articuno 3) Mewtwo Froslass, Ninetales and Gardevoir 4) Mewtwo All grass Pokemon 5) Mewt-argh! Stop appearing in my head! Haunter I guess...
-
O_O Nice explanation. I knew it had something to do with the index number. While my method isn't arbitrary that's how I obtained Mew for RBY.
-
Yeah, but you are not obligated to use the DSi at all, now are you?
-
What comic? You have to show that to me... And I could say the same about Surfing Pokemon... let's go surf on a Zigzagoon! Great idea! *drowns* What about Dive from RSE? Let's dive underwater! Trainer: "...can't... breathe... clothes... getting wet!" And while you are surfing... how do you fight with the Pokemon you are surfing on? Trainer: "All right Empoleon, use Aqua Jet!" *Empoleon rushes to the opponent's Pokemon* Trainer: "YAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!"

Thanks I hate having to have HM slaves in my team (although it doesn't matter if you're doing the One Pokemon Challenge or whatnot). Have your dream team of 6 Pokemon... not. You need those Pokemon to take part in your team while being almost useless in battle... and btw, Skarmory and Pinsir are very good in battle without any HMs, especially the former... so I would NOT keep any HM moves on them. The only HM moves worth using in competitive battle are Surf and Waterfall... that's about it. Fly is also usable in game, now that it is 90 base power, but don't use it competitively. If anything, remember that those two aforementioned HM slaves are all you really need. Tropius is a bit hard to find... I admit, but it took me one Safari Ball to catch one (and I found another one and caught it with one Safari Ball again... I don't know if that'll work for you though)... I wouldn't teach Fly or Defog to my Staraptor... especially when she is viable competitively.
