But...you said it was like your best work ever!

Yeah, I find it annoying...also underXray voted for narwhal! Where are all of your votes? Come on people! Give telos and pokemonfan some votes! (I think if anyone should come in second/first its telos and me) No offense intended towards the other great works Telos...

Telos you do know your sig cuts off right...the one narwhal made for you is cut of do to the new sig limits

Hola I'm pokemonfan (obviously) I welcome you to project pokemon. If you need a killer sandshrew avatar then just click the link in my signature so that you can go ask for one. We'll jump at the chance to go make an avatar. Anyway, welcome and good luck with pokesav.

??? I'm not talking about the elite 4 those guys are tough. I dont know wraith89...I still think its going to be a snap.

Ok, thanks again, also you keep posting but your light says you're offline...what up with that...are you logging of and logging on? Also, are there any positive comments?

Oh...thanks! Is there any positive feed back in the angel of music?

That's good enkidu except...he already chose.

I think mine was the best...I vote for me! Doesn't that sound just a little bit...whatever. It was either mine or telos's it was a tough decision. maybe we should advertise this thread to get more people to vote.

No response yet to my balloons. My question for you dimi is why the life orb?

Fantina can give trouble because there is a lacking in dark types to defend against the psychic and ghost type attacks but if you out level her (which you should) you can easily bring her down.

FYI I think bear put his in the social group.

That may be so, but dont you think its a bit too easy?

My gimmick team... ______________________________ Battling is a party...but what is a party without BALLOONS! "Hey look balloons! It is a party!" -dory from finding nemo ______________________________ We all know that my favorite pokemon is drifloon. Since I don’t know much about competitive battling anyway, I figured I wouldn’t get yelled at on this thread for the team being an epic fail so here is the balloon team. Job: Suicide lead/crippler Ability: Aftermath (Its a suicide lead! Plus unburden wont work) Item: Focus sash Nature: Jolly EVs concentrated in: Speed Moveset: Will-O-wisp Facade Embargo Explosion Comment: Jolly in the face of death is the way this balloon goes. He is meant to go out their knowing that certain death awaits him. He is faster then the speed of light so that if someone does manage to land a killing hit he’ll be able to explode on them cause he’ll survive! The Focus band will allow him to survive a killing hit then if he goes first with his speed he’ll explode taking his foe and himself to the grave. (pokeball) Will-O-Wisp is designed to cripple the foes plus Façade’s power is doubled when a foe is effected by a burn. Embargo is to prevent item usage another crippling move. Job: Supporter (The imp balloon) Ability: Unburden Item: Leftovers Nature: Impish Evs concentrated in: defense and special defense (more defense though) Moveset: Hypnosis Baton Pass Calm Mind Stockpile Comment: The imp balloon has taken the field and is ready to effectively give his buddies a boost. He is trained to have metal instead of rubber and is tied tighter then any knot before. It will be hard to get this balloon to pop. By using calm mind and stockpile he is able to raise his defensive stats to pass on to his team with batonpass. Hypnosis is to stall the opponent while he gains stats to pass on to his team mates. It’s a sure fire way to mess up your opponent with this balloon. Leftovers so that he isn’t taken down and he can gain enough stats to pass on. This is a change in tactics from the lead. Job: Special Sweep Ability: Unburden Item: Wise Glasses Nature: Timid EVs concentrated in: Speed and Special attack Moveset Psychic Baton pass Rest Sleep talk Comment: This is a balloon that will sweep you up and destroy you with psychic power so therefore it is clearly mega weak towards dark type pokemon. If it is not a dark type then using psychic primarily would be the way to go then if it ws in trouble it would use the rest + sleep talk combination. If it was in to much trouble for rest to help then baton pass it over to the next balloon which you are going to see. Job: Wall Ability: Cute charm (only one) Item: Silk Scarf/chople berry Nature: Bold Evs concentrated in: Defense and Special defense (more defense though) Move set: Reflect Light Screen Wish Hyper Voice Comment: It’s another cute balloon pokemon taking the stage, but this time, its evolved! Wigglytuff comes in expecting to shut down its foes. However this balloon relies on the great baton passing abilities of the ballons ahead of her because perhaps without that defense her strategy might fall apart. Her cute charm ability will allow her to help shut down all the boy pokemon. Her silk scarf draping around her neck increases her hyper voice STAB attack making it even more deadly. Or her wonderful chople berry making sure those powerful fighting type attacks don’t do much. Her powerful defense and special defense are added to by reflect and light screen. And if for some reason she gets low on health she wishes herself back up to full health. If done properly she is a force to be reckoned with. The reason wigglytuff is focusing more on defense then her special defense stat is because her weakness is fighting type pokemon. Fighting type moves are mostly physical with the exception of aura sphere, focus blast, and vacuum wave which are special type moves. Job: Wall (hold on and due as much damage as possible assuming you’re behind) Ability: Aftermath Item: leftovers Nature: Relaxed Evs concentrated in: Defense and special defense (mostly special) Moveset: Stockpile Will-O-wisp thunderbolt/gyro ball (mainly thunder bolt) Shadow ball/ rollout (mailny shadow ball) Comment: Assuming you’re behind because you’re foe is battling a bunch of balloons then the drifblim has to hold on. It uses its defense stats to try and shut down its opponent then it burns its foe and follows up with rollouts and some air cutter stab attacks. Leftovers help it keep in the game, but if it does go down then aftermath will give the foe a little present to remember drifblim by after all…what’s a party without presents? Gyro ball because this thing is going to be as slow, as slow can be. Job: Wall for the last stand Ability: Cute charm Item: poison orb Nature: Relaxed EVs: Defense and special defense (mostly defense) Moveset: Reflect Light screen Façade Wish Comment: Wigglytuff is the last stand and its going to make an impression. Any boys will fall for her and then perish in her grip. The poison orb helps our her STAB attack facade . Her defense will be impenetrable especially with a reflect on her side. Then since façade’s power is doubled when the user is poisoned then we can have an ultra powerful STAB attack then heal up with wish. I do realize I made a mistake with façade earlier on in this post but I’m to lazy to fix it. Well actually I’m sleepy…its late. Let the party balloons rule! I still have to ask wraith89 to help me test this out. Please comment! Also, I hope I did this posting of a team thing right. It looks likes the ones other people posted so I hope its the right format.

Its easy! The only reason I had trouble with the gyms was because I knew NOTHING about pokemon. My first ever pokemon game was pokemon pearl and I knew squat about type advantages and disadvantages. Once you know the rest is training and then the gym leaders are a peace of cake. It took me a while to respond....I'm working on a balloon gimmick competitive team. I love the floons!

Punky! See you're proud of that work right. Although you know it cant top narwhal's work you're still proud of it and you dont even know if the person likes it yet. (It is good by the way) That's how I felt when I made your sig (which you rejected) You may not have liked it and i knew that it couldn't top narwhal's but I was proud of it all the same. I just didn't think you saw that. maybe now you do. It is good by the way. The only problem is that rayquaza blends to much with the blackground, a shiny version would've been better. But the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, or in this case Canadiensfan.

My first time through in pearl, it was my first pokemon game so dont judge me I knew NOTHING, I evolved my prinplup into an empoleon just to beat gardenia! I had an empoleon to beat gardenia. I didn't even know grass was better then water back then. I LOL at myself all the time for that. I'm pretty sure though that after now the rest of the gyms with my awesome drifloon, infernape, gengar, mismagius, cherrim, ambipom, combee (I traded it to platinum and taught it some good moves so I'm hoping that it will serve me well. Its just to cute!) and eventually heracross I'm going to destroy the gyms and the elite four! I've always had to redo the elite four, but not this time. That's my goal sort of. For some reason I always get pushed back by that stupid garchomp! I cant stand that thing. I guess we all struggle with some gyms but really if you look at it we shouldn't struggle with them at all.

Ok, I was just thinking back to the differences between D/P and Pt and realized that there is such a difference in the gyms. In diamond and pearl I believe they were a lot weaker! Take a look at the first gym... Geodude and Onix are both at level 12 and they are the exact same types and share the same weakness, grass! I say grass just incase you chose the fire type starter this might be difficult. However, they are all weak against fighting type moves so a mach punch from monferno will crush them all. The highest there is a level 14 cranidos which shares the same weakness as its fellow combatants. Although this is the same as the gym in platinum I still think it is weak because the weakness is obvious and with a little training up to about level ten with a grass type, (chimchar evolve it) you can easily beat this gym. Could the creators at least find a way to make it difficult? The stealth rock signature attack wouldn't matter because you wouldn't have to switch out because you can sweep through this gym. My Luxio went in level 15, came out level 17 and beat the entire gym single handily! A luxio! That was in my pokemon pearl version. Are gyms supposed to be weak or what because this gym is weak. The second gym although it remains the same besides its design in platinum I think it is similar to the first gym, easy to beat. Its weakness being fire and flying type pokemon makes it a sinch to defeat. There is the starly you can catch in the beginning of the game and if you come in knowing wing attack or aerial ace your bound to sweep. Dont forget both dustox and beautifly learn gust, a flying type move, at an early level. Plus there is ponyta (in case you didn't choose the fire starter) Ponyta learns a fire type attack, ember, at level 16 at least in diamond and pearl. In platinum it learns flamewheel an even more powerful attack at level 15! Ember is learned back at level 10 in platinum. It is fairly simple to get a ponyta so why one wouldn't is beyond me. Then there is a big factor when it comes to taking on the gym without training, drifloon. You can catch a level 22 drifloon in diamond and pearl at the valley windworks on fridays. Drifloon will know gust and at a level 22 it will be the same level as roserade the highest level pokemon that gardenia will use. Gust is flying type move which will be a STAB attack for drifloon (at that level its pretty decent) so it should be a pretty decent sweep of that gym. Overall yet another easy gym. Then with the third gym...it gets different. In D/P its maylene in Pt. Its Fantina, the ghost trainer. This is what I think makes the gym leaders in platinum tougher because fantina was fought earlier. Maylene can be a very easy sweep, especially with a drifloon that knows gust. Drifloon will be immune to the fighting type moves of the foes and the ground type move of lucario, bone rush, the only thing drifloon will have to worry about is metal claw. However, a powerful gust can easily clean up. Plus with all the psychic pokemon you can catch like abra, (and get via trade) chingling, and meditite with those knowing some psychic type moves you wont have to worry about drifloon fainting because if the other two pokemon that didn't know metal claw are out then if drifloon does faint the psychic types can clean up. Plus dustox can learn confusion early on. Fantina on the other hand might prove to be more difficult because of the lack of dark types available but there are the ghost types like ROTOM which can be caught before the national dex and platinum. Plus there is drifloon again rearing his head. Dont forget the ever gassy gastly and evolved co. The 4th gym, crasher wake, (at least in d/p) can easily be beaten with the plethora of grass types and the electric types such as pachirisu and shinx + evolved forms. Annoyingly enough if you put all your effort into infernape then the grass type move, grass knot, that you got from gardenia will work great with infernape and crasher wake will fall faster then an elephant. Being that all of his water types are heavy grass knot will be really super effective on them. I do have to comment on the levels of crasher's pokemon in D/P. They are the exact same as maylene's! 27, 27, then 30. I mean at this point, because I've been training a lot. My highest pokemon in my restarted pearl version is drifblim (no surprise being that I'm obsessed with drifloon/and kind of the drifblim.) and Drifblim is a level 40 and I haven't even challenged maylene yet or gotten to veilstone because I've been training. Looking onward the next 4 I'm going to have a level advantage over! That's if I dont level up drifblim from now till I battle byron. I'm going to level him up because he's going to be in my gym battles before hand I'm still going to train. The ghost gym can easily be brought down with ghost type team. Like my gengar and drifblim are currently higher then fantina's and mismagius shares the same level with her mismagius. Its going to be a peace of cake making it through. By then I'll have a major level advantage over byron and the rest of the gyms. Byron can easily be brought down by the flames of rapidash/infernape and the ground power of graveler/golem. Byron's top level pokemon is a level 39 with his bastiodon. That's only 9 levels higher then lucario and floatzel maylene and crasher's best pokemon. Plus all that training you do on the way with a type advantage too you can easily destroy that gym. Then the 7th gym is going to burn to the ground by the power of rapidash/infernape. Other pokemon would be good to. The only problem might be medicham but throw in a ghost type or a dark type and lets see what happens to that psychic warrior. A sneasel caught up in snow point knowing a dark type move can bring down medicham and then flames will burn through the snow and grass that is the snowpoint gym. The hardest part of that gym may very well be the puzzle. The 8th gym. Wow, send in ground types and your done basically. I think the gyms are incredibly weak and can easily be destroyed. They should be harder so someone who took complete advantage of the gyms weaknesses doesn't get to the elite four and then they get creamed because their highest level pokemon is like in the 50s because that's all it took to beat the gyms. Maybe I train my pokemon to much when I dont need to at this point...I dont know what it is but I think the gyms are too weak. Are they meant to be weak because it sure didn't help me the first time through when I came up to the elite four. My pokemon were so under leveled because that's all it took for the gyms. The elites creamed me until I finally got my pokemon up to speed and then even with that it was a close match. Does anyone else see this. What do you think of this? I'm wondering if the gyms are supposed to be weak? So what do you think?

I didn't say numbers mattered, "but they do help." "but they do help" -Peter right before the big battle for narnia in "The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe" Great movie, you should watch it. And an even better book series. I doubt anyone's mind was going to be changed...you guys sound hardcore and unwavering.

I guess so, after all brock was the older brother back home and he was like the father and mother too! I mean it would seem like brock would just automatically fall into that older brother position like it was 2nd nature because it was to him. I do think that brock has changed a lot from the older episodes to the ones now. Like someone said its like he's a professor now other then a normal trainer.

Probably okami, why dont you PM kunaidude34 or telos about it. They're kind of the group leaders. Although my avatars have been chosen a lot...I dont think I have the power to let you in....although nothings stopping you from joining the group we have. Although, knowing you, you'd want permission. I think that kunaidude34 is online right now you could PM him.

That is the cutest poochyena ever! For those who didn't bother to look. Its so cute! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
