Title: The Pokemon Thread
Post by: StreakInTheSky on May 03, 2007, 09:42:51 PM
I know people have been talking about pokemon alot in the DS thread so I thought I'd make a new thread for it.

You can talk about anything related to the pokemon games here. Memories, strategies, favorite 6, or current 6, etc!

yay Pokemon! i haven't played any of the new games yet (i lack a DS and the emulators out there so far are crap, ROFL), but i've played through everything on the GB/GBC/GBA, and i love all the games. my copy of Crystal alone has 400+ hours on it.  :lol:

i got blue for one of my birthdays a looong time ago...

then gameboy became obsolete and gameboy advanced emulators became awesome.
played emerald from there.

and now i just got Diamond for DS. (DS emulator runs it a bit slow tho)

But the DS has impressed me so much i may eventually get it, thus ending my long history of pokemon piracy.

that sounds like it should be a great game title actually.. "Pokemon Pirate".

and for more randomness:

well pokemon games is always the same, just different trainers, gym leaders, and most importantly, pokemon.

but i only like the Gold and Silver Version, because i don't recall Sapphire, Ruby, FireRed or LeafGreen have where you beat the Elite Four and fight in another Region...

*bumping the fact that I'm a giant nerd*

So since the release of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, it seems the franchises popularity has risen a bit more hasn't it? I was at the mall today and they all sorts of t-shirts and the like.

Also, I'm pretty sure this is old... but what!?

I've loved Pokemon ever since it first came out (for me that was 3rd grade). I have/played all the versions except for Crystal/Gold/Silver. That makes me kind of sad. XD But I have the other versions to occupy my obsession. XD

@mini: IS THAT PLANE FOR SALE?! I now know what I'm going to buy if I win the lottery . . *dead serious* Annd . .

well I'm 24 and I got hook up into Pokemon when they first came out because of my cousins and kid tutoring at school... I was a bit embarrass when I went to Best Buy and picked up a copy of Platinum when it first came out in Canada, in front of me are all kids with their parents!

cashier - hi, are you purchasing this (Platinum) for yourself?
JTRIX - uhhh.... no.... is for my brother as a parent (a lie, I don't even have a brother)
cashier - oh... sorry about that (glared at me with this WTF look)

By the way: The official JP Pokémon website announced, that this autumn will be TWO new games released for the DS! (Of course first in Japan :banghead:) And guess what? It's the remakes for Gold and Silver!!! :w00t: The names of the Remake games of Gold and Silver are: HeartGold and SoulSilver!

Now enjoy this news! :D I was very excited, as I heard about this!

There should be a law written down somewhere about Pokemon starters: choose the Fire starter for some sort of a challenge, choose the Water starter to cruise through; in reference to difficulty of gyms. :thumbup

Well that would be stupid to remake red and blue they did that with Fire red and Leaf Green. I'm glad about the Gold and Silver remakes but something new would be nice though hopefully it's not another mistake like Platinum.

It's not a remake, it's a brand new game in the series :)

Well, Idols and Pokemon are my two absolute favorite things, so I'm going to make myself at home in this thread!

Heart Gold and Soul Silver are out in less than a week! I'm so excited! My girlfriend and I are each buying a version, so we can trade back and fourth between the two. I'm not sure what I want my team to be yet, but it will probably be something like this:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v442/AmeNiSlytherin/Pokiemans/Ani157OD.png)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v442/AmeNiSlytherin/Pokiemans/Ani178OD.png)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v442/AmeNiSlytherin/Pokiemans/Ani181OD.png)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v442/AmeNiSlytherin/Pokiemans/Ani080OD.png)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v442/AmeNiSlytherin/Pokiemans/Ani047OD.png)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v442/AmeNiSlytherin/Pokiemans/Ani034OD.png)

... I think. XD I'm still trying to decide. I always started with Totodile in Silver, but I don't know if I want to this time.  Of course, if I had my way, I'd just train six Wailmers and be done with it. He's my all-time favorite.  :heart:
Title: Re: The Pokemon Thread
Post by: Ayako-Luna on March 11, 2010, 05:14:36 PM
I'll buy both.. HeartGold and SoulSilver :D

My all-time favorite Pokémon was always Pichu from Silver and Gold ;_;

Title: Re: The Pokemon Thread
Post by: jafeijai on April 28, 2010, 12:08:59 AM
^ Tip: train yourself with rematches against Gym leaders. New feature of HG/SS enables you to get their phone numbers at certain times and to call them for battles at certain times. Their levels aren't as high as Lance's, but it'll provide some good experience considering how you can re-battle them within their respective time slots. :)

So, I admit, I only ever finished Pokemon Red (even though I've also got Yellow, Crystal, Pearl, and now HeartGold). ... I'm currently playing HeartGold (loving it!), but I have a weird problem... you know when some trainers want your phone number so that they can call you if they want to fight again and such... well whenever trainers call me back for a fight, they won't fight me when I finally get to where they're at. @____@ so frickin frustrating. I get berries and items from trainers that call me to inform me that they've collected stuff for me to get, but the ones who call me back to battle don't let me battle when I go to them. What's the deal? D:

No idea. Mine works fine. They just never call enough. So many numbers and not one bothers to call to battle me with Level 100s XD They should give some trainers randomly stupidly strong pokemon XD

Hmm usually on the route map, it will have a little ! where trainers do actually want to fight!!

but one of this games main flaws is that it's really hard to level up x.X

Huge pokemon fan checking in!
I've been a fan since red and blue.
The only thing I have left to do in Heart Gold is beat the Battle Factory...
I never beat that in Platinum either. I swear the factory boss is like the greatest pokemon master ever.
He's like "You got about a 10% chance of beating me." And I'm like "PSHHHH 10%! *looks at roster* I got this."
And he'll pull something out of thin air (critical hit) and whoop my ass.  :angry:
Ridiculous!
My friend code is: 1376 9662 8144

They certainly added some interesting types didn't they?
Bug/Electric, Grass/Steel, Water/Ghost?
I really like this Ghost/Fire chandelier thing though.  :lol:
On the subject of starters I'll probably pick the water one. That last evolution looks awesome.

'Spoilers' for those who haven't gotten this far or haven't played Black/White yet:
One of the 3 monkeys are given to you free based on your starter. :grin: (fire monkey for water starter, grass monkey for fire starter, water monkey for grass starter) ...And later on, you're given a free elemental stone (necessary to evolve the monkeys), though you will be asked which monkey you want to evolve (I'm assuming that if you chose a monkey you don't have, you'll be given the corresponding stone anyways).

On another note: OMFG I can walk diagonally in this game XD

Team Plasma they are, but I've only ran into them twice so far. It's not especially hard to play B/W if you've studied Japanese for any appreciable amount (and have a dictionary (http://zkanji.sourceforge.net/) handy).

I'm a little past the first gym now. Here's my elite Pokesquad:

Even Pokemon..
In a certain place in a certain street in Pokemon.

There's this part where the remarks of the people you pass by (in the game) automatically appear but then

I was called 「Plain!」*

How did you know...that's so depressing..

* - 'plain' in the sense that Sasshi's like any other person (unlike the 'idol' image)

and got 3 :D so many people were there crowded for the event because of the delay, so I transmitted a Deoxys into the crowd from Pokemon Ranger (everyone was constantly searching even though the download kiosk wasn't there yet, lol) and some kid (I hope anyways, lol) got it, I never found out who it was... lol

Makes me wanna hook up that cartridge thing that went into the back of the N64 controller, plug in Pokemon Blue, and battle with my Pocket Monsters right on the big screen.

I've been thinking about getting into Pokemon again. If I get a 3DS, then I'll definitely resume.

I really don't regret getting Pokemon White at launch, even though I was kind of indifferent about it at the time. Changed my mind the moment I started it up, haha. What is it about this game that makes it feel like I'm playing Pokemon for the very first time? o_O; It can't just be the new Pokemon, can it? And if so, they definitely need to come up with a new set of 150 pokemon for every game from now on :yep:

To me it feels like leveling the pokemon is speedier and not as bothersome as with previous generations. That might just be me, though. I've always been slow about training my team *is a careful trainer*

... and now that I'm into this thing I need to remember to keep myself updated on downloadable gifts. I got the liberty pass, but yeah...

Munna is my new favourite Pokemon :wub:

As a side note, how come I only come across male Pokemon? o_o; I have like one female Pokemon, and the rest are all guys. Where the girls at? xD;

Whaaat. Is your main character a boy? I mean, I chose the girl (yay pink everywhere 8D ), but that really shouldn't make a difference, should it? :[
Title: Re: The Pokemon Thread
Post by: pikapikapika on March 10, 2011, 02:26:15 PM
No it doesn't make a difference :D each pokemon has a ratio of male to female, so certain species get more or less males or females, depending on this ratio.

This is actually something to do with breeding again xD (sorry Twiss!!! XDDD) females are usually rarer because they can make babies of their species, but a lot of people (in previous games at least) prefer male pokemon because they can pass on TM's to their children, when TM's were one use only, this was more useful, but in B/W they're unlimited, so \o/ it's mostly for egg moves now.
(egg moves are moves that pokemon usually cannot learn, but if the father pokemon knows it, they can pass it onto the baby pokemon)

my team now is:
Victini lv30
Servine lv31
Panpour lv29
Munna lv27
Tranquil lv29
Herdier lv31

I just beat the 5th gym and I'm in a lightning cave :O

My progress is slow, because most days I only play for about half an hour or so during lunch :lol:

This gag really made me think that an actual Pokémon game like this for the 3DS would have been an amazing addition to the series. The concept with virtual reality/searching for things in your actual surroundings seem to have worked out well for the Denpamen series (http://www.denpamen.com), so why not?
