Official Pokemon Discussion. (The 5th gen starts now)

[Flame Dragon]

Eh' date=' I'm ready for some new pokemon. the grass and fire starters look cool for the new region. the other one is kinda fukked up. and zoroark can only be recieved by event, which kinda blows.

How can Zorua be found? Just by egg/Ranger Tracks of Light?

You need one or all of the beasts. However it's an event beast.

[Eury]

I really hope Zorua and Zoroark aren't event only.

[Legokun]

Why would they be?

Off topic a bit, but who is better, Porygon2 or Porygon-Z?

It isn't really off topic since it is a Pokemon discussion topic. They both serve completely different purposes competitively. Porygon2 is one of the best counters to Gyarados and Salamence (not so much MixMence though) with Trace and access to moves to beat them (Thunderbolt, Ice Beam and Discharge) as well as decent bulk and support movepool (Thunder Wave, Toxic and Recover). Porygon-Z on the other hand is an offensive Pokemon and a powerful one at that. With Stealth Rock and/or Spikes support on your side, a Life Orb equipped, Adaptability and Nasty Plot, it can OHKO or 2HKO everything in the game (even Blissey) after a single turn of set-up however things faster than it (a good number of stuff in OU as well as Choice Scarfers) and priority moves more often than not let it down.

[Legokun]

So basically, it's a toss up.

Do i want a Defensive Pokemon or an Offensive one...

I was ninja'd. >_>

 

Except for the part about Salamence and Gyara counters. I never knew that.

[Dark]

I personally like Porygon2 more, since it has a lot of bulk running with it, a sole weakness to Fighting (which you shouldn't stay in on a strong Machamp anyways), and really good tactical moves as well as decent SpA. PorygonZ was one of my favorite Pokemon in OU (yes, it was OU before), but its Speed is REALLY lacking and it's either always using Nasty Plot or a Choice Item so it's pretty predictable.

 

Most people I run into think Porygon2 is NFE. <_<

That's stupid. Considering it's called Porygon2. You must know some idiots.

[Dark]

Well, it TECHNICALLY is "not fully evolved", seeing as it's not the last in its evolution path. But it doesn't suck. <_

It can also counter Jolt and Heatran.

 

Meh both are good pokemon and can work, but other pokemon work better.

[BulletMan]

I've decided to maybe make a guide for Pokemon (Youtube, with the more up to date games LeafGreen/FireRed, not the originals, since oh well.)

 

So I'm going to have to make a team. But I want this to be my FUNNEST experience ever on FR/LG, and so I need to choose 5 fun pokemon (Not six, cuz I'll be short on time, and HM users.).

 

I need 5 fun pokemon, including the starter. Usually, before the 4th badge can be obtained. Though, I suppose I can get my friend to trade some, so it's any. NO Legends though.

 

???

[Survivor]

Well. They are supposedly amazing damn Pokemon, that can change like ditto, but still have amazing attacks otherwise, so why not have them event? Its a way to get people lined up in toys r us or a movie theater to give more money to the Pokemon cooperation.

 

But anyway. The starters are okay...The grass is the best. The other two are just awful though. I will definatly be picking the grass IF i want to basically stab myself in my goddam foot and waste 5o dollars.

 

If they reuse sprites because they were too busy doing their extra special 3D graphics, then NO. I will not get this game. I will let the company suffer.

Just be spontaneous and catch whatever you find that looks cool. Itll make the guide more fun.

Do you know how stupid that is? We're passing up on a new game because they didn't change some sprites. The current sprites that we have are great so to keep them wouldn't be a problem at all.

[BulletMan]

I heard that the new sprites move a little when they attack. Not much, but cool.

I got as far as Porygon2 in the original Silver and Gold, FR, LG, R, S, E. Porygon in D, P, Pl, and I can't even get a Porygon in HG or SS cause they're too expensive. You can only buy them in the casino in Celadon with coins, but the only way to get coins is with the Card Game and you have to make wild guesses. It's like playing Minesweeper. It's so infuriating.

I'm good at that game. :lol:

 

It's simple, pick everything in teh row(s) that say(s) 0. Then It becomes much easier.

[Eury]

I hate the Game Corner. D:

 

So I used a cheat to get 50000 coins. <3

 

So like, I'm playing Crystal atm.

 

My team be this:

Magneton 32

Marowak 31

Feraligatr 31

Pidgeotto 31

Machoke 31

Slowbro 31

 

I don't really like Machoke anymore and I need to replace Slowbro. What should I replace them with? I'm currently at Pryce.

[Dark]

Stop complaining about Voltorb Flip. If you had one-quarter of a brain and some logic you'd be able to figure it out. Highest I got was to Level 7, at which point I had enough coins to buy some 1000 Coin item (and I was too lazy to go for a TM), and stopped. But the game itself is easy, and I like it a lot more than those mindless, stupid Slot Machines. Roulette in RSE was fun, but most people just bought coins for TMs instead of actually playing.

 

On that note, I got my second badge in Sapphire. Currently have a Lv17 Combusken, Lv17 Ralts and Lv17 Lombre. And three Zigzagoon, who gave me 3 or 4 Revives and 2 Full Restores. But only one Rare Candy, which is what I am using them for.

[Eury]

So I decided I'm going to swap Slowbro for Sneasel, and Machoke for either Xatu, Suicune, Octillery or Donphan.

Me: "No, use Xat"*gets headshot by Armadilloz*

Armadilloz: *Laughs maniacally*

Me: *Stands Up* "Xatu."

Armadilloz: "WTF?! Is that even posibl*Gets headshot by XxHighVoltagexX*

Me: "Oh, and you just lost THE GAME."

[Dizzy~]

No, use Xatu.

 

 

No, use Donphan.

[Dark]

Use Suicune.

 

I'd go with Xatu or Donphan. Octillery just sucks... literally.

[Eury]

Decided on Xatu. I need Psychic more than Ground.

 

Anyways, I'm also playing Sapphire. I'm about to get to Mt. Chimney but I need to get a Skarmory first. After I beat Flannery I can get Barboach, Trapinch and Baltoy so I can make my lolgroundtype team. Good thing I haz Gameshark for unlimited amounts of Rare Candies. <3

 

So my team is going to be this:

Skarmory - Fly, Steel Wing, Taunt, Spikes

Camerupt - Rock Slide, EQ, Eruption, Flamethrower

Flygon - Dragon Claw, EQ, Fire Blast, Crunch

Whiscash - Surf, Ice Beam, EQ, Attract/Waterfall

Sandslash - EQ, Sandstorm, Brick Break, ?

Claydol - Psychic, EQ, Shadow Ball, Cosmic Power

 

For some reason I have a feeling those are bad movesets. D:
