The Pokémon General we know and love has been remade to drain more of our time and money!Discuss/Wank over changes you dislike.
Sunday is going to talk about all of Ash's Pokemon and discuss what his ultimate team might be.Could be interesting.
>>9651>Torkoal instead of CharizardGod damn it.
>>9654Looks like Shokotan's on your side there.
>>9656Didn't he give away Butterfree and Lapras? Two Water Pokemon isn't a good idea either way.
>>9660And Primeape, but they seem to be going for all Pokémon he's ever had.Hypothetical ultimate teams, you see.
Ash's team this series is looking pretty top-notch to begin with.
>>9656 >No PikachuLike Ash would ever make a team without him.
>>9656 ...These are all Pokemon Ash doesn't have anymore. What's up.
>>9669It must be her theme for the team.
>>9669Well I'd say it's that Ash's team hasn't been worth a shit since Season 1.
>>9669Shokotan's an oldfag.
>>9676>>9677Gliscor in the lead spot.
>>9678Gliscor is cool though, so he (she?) gets a pass.The theme seems to be Pokémon Ash has released or otherwise does not have immediate access to.
>>9679Thats because Ash hates useful pokemon.
The surprisingly useful Magnet Rise.
>>9683His current team is Pikachu, Infernape, Torterra, Staraptor, Gible, and Buizel.
>>9685Summaries say he's going into the Sinnoh League with at least his Pikachu, Staraptor, Heracross and Quilava.
>>9676His Season 1 team isn't really all that special power-wise aside from Charizard and nostalgia.
>>9684Levitated on electromagnetism, you say?
>>9685Are you really going to doubt that, taken as a whole, Ash has an alarming pattern of dumping things as soo as they become useful?
...what the hell are you guys talking about?
>>9696If he did he'd have to throw out his entire current team.The reasoning is usually really obvious: having a really broken Pokemon sort of HURTS things.
Hey Deon, I'm looking to make a doubles team, but I've hardly any experience at it. Is there any general advice you can offer me, as a much more seasoned participant, to keep in mind while putting my team together?
>>9718Generally I follow the philosophy that no Pokemon on your team should be a burden to any other Pokemon on your team. Protect is pretty useful for that.After that you can come up with all kinds of combos.
>>9696Those "powerful Pokémon" are the ones that don't sell any merchandise, I figure.
Looks like Serebii wasn't wrong in assuming the Jirachi WFC give away would happen in North America as well.I just got 3, one for Diamond, Platinum and Heart Gold.Connect to Mystery Gift and be sure to get yours to unlock Night Sky's Edge!
>>9735Oh god oh god oh god oh godYESYESYES
>>9735Are there any requirements for it, like having beaten the game or gotten a full pokedex, or can you just download it via mystery gift?
>>9738You just need mystery gift.
>Go to Gamestop a few months ago>bring my DS to get Jirachi>some xbro makes fun of me>At least I got Jirachi>4 months later, its on Mystery Gift and I don't have to worry about being publicly embarrassedFUCKING GAMESTOP
>>9735C-Canada?
>>9744Nova Scotia, even.
INCOMING MESSAGE FROM THE BIG GIANT MAP!
Robert, your Ash's dream team can't have a Pokemon that isn't even his on it.That's cheating.Even if it is his mom's.
>>9724Someday I dream of somebody making gyarados merch for me to buy.
>>9754What? A mother can't lend her only son a pokemon for a day or so?
Cooler than this, they prefaced their little black and white summary with the opening to Michael Jackson's "Black or White".
>>9757Oh, and it looks like Sunday confirmed September 18th for Japanese release day.I'll try and get some high quality shots.
This guy doesn't look like a token evil bishie at all.
>>9757And now it's time for another round of BOYORGIRL!
>>9762Either way I win!
>>9761Is that the rival?
>>9764We don't know.
>>9764>>9761>>9766HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE THE RIVAL!HE'S WEARING A HAT! No rival in any Pokemon game wears a hat.>>9762>>9757I say girl, myself.
>>9762Cheren?
>>9769CHEREN YOU TOO!
>>9769Cheren's female.
Its kind of weird seeing this type of artstyle in a Pokemon game.
>>9762I say boy.
>>9768>He's wearing a hatDude, the guy in the hat is the player.
>>9782Hal is referring to the guy in this screenshot: >>9761
Anyways, I had missed this part live; Golgo built Ash's dream team out of counters for Paul's current team.
But Baba appeared to be pointing out holes in his theory based on the fact that Paul could just switch.
Which continued until Golgo lost his temper and just slapped Arceus on there.lulz.
>>9774HEAVENS DIVIDE!
GUYS I NEED AN ICE BEAM AND AN OUTRAGECAN ANYONE PROVIDE PLZ
Reminder to all North American, European, and Australian players!The Draco Meteor Jirachi is being distributed via Wi-Fi now, and is available on all Versions thru the 16th!
>>9899HAW HAW HAWYOU'LL HAVE TO PLAY THE STUPID FLIP GAME LIKE THE REST OF US!
>>9902B-but Mindy...;3;
>>9899>>9906first of all, Jazz, sweetie Outrage isn't a TMYou have to take the pokemon to a Move Tutorhttp://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Move_tutorNow Ice Beam? Ice Beam I can give you.
>>9911oh hey you're perfectly correct. Should I teach Kingdra Outrage or Draco Meteor?Also plz do ;A;
>>9912Well, that depends on whether you want a physical or special attack.
>>9912Well you're gonna have to give me your FC4296 8865 1461
>>9913It does learn Dragon Pulse later on...Dragon Pulse and Outrage?Draco Meteor and Outrage?Draco Meteor and Dragon Pulse?>>9914Gib a few moments to set up WiFi :x
...looks like I can't connect to the internet here.OH WELL.NO MORE ONLINE FOR ME.
>>9915well what's the thing's nature, that should help you narrow down a move set.Natures that boost Special AttackModest (- Attack)Mild (- Defense)Quiet (- Speed)Rash (- Special Defense)Natures that boost AttackLonely (- Defense)Brave (- Speed)Adamant (- Special Attack)Naughty (- Special Defense)
>>9915My Kingdra has Draco Meteor (in addition to Surf, Ice Beam, and Rain Dance) because I already had Ice Beam as a reusable move to use again other Dragon-types so I have Draco Meteor as a big attack to use before switching or getting KO'd.
Anyways, the next Sunday will be all about the movie coming out on the 10th.They'll even have a battle using the Celebi that will be given out at the movie.Although I like it more when they battle the kids rather than each other.
Oh, and I guess I should have been able to tell from the music, but Red's Dream Team theme is baseball, where your best players lead and your heavy hitters back them up.
>>9906If I have to suffer to get Ice Beam and Thunderbolt, then everyone must suffer.EVERYONE.
>>9982;3;Actually I said fuck it. LOL I JUST TRADED IT OVER FROM MY PLATINUM GAME USING MY FRIEND'S DS.TEEHEE.
I don't get it, why don't they just make all the evolution stones buyable in every game? There's no real reason to restrict them, damn it.Actually, this goes for the majority of TMs, too...
>>10009It adds to their value via scarcity.
>>10009Man, Platinum's Underground gave me so many evolution stones I was just not bothering to dig them up anymore.
It's time for No one here cares!This week in Japan, Ash advances in the Sinnoh League, as expected. In the match, Heracross demonstrates Sleep Talk for the first time in the anime.The real point of interest, however, is the reveal of a mystery trainer, who proceeded through the prelims with a Darkrai.
>>10053Looks like Heatran kid has competition.
>>10053>>10063I love how people are running around with legendary, one-of-a-kind pokemon and no one seems to give a shit....Then again, they never seem to in the games, either.
Is there somewhere I can look at a Chikorita? It's the requisite in order for me to ask for one on the GTS.
So what do you make of the new movie clip shown at the end of Sunday showing what are ostensibly real Legendary Beasts that are also shiny?
>>10106Keeping in mind that it's been implied that the ostensibly real set of beasts aren't shiny.
>>10105Since you chose Cyndaquil I don't think so, since I chose Totodile and have never seen a Cyndaquil the entire game. I can just trade you one for a Cyndaquil, though. Even if you need to use the GTS for some reason, just trading you one will open up the option (duh).
>>10086Well the episode made it a point to say "Jesus fuck, he's got a Darkrai. Shitshitshit."The officials, on the other hand, clearly don't give a shit.
>>10109As a matter of fact, I've got a freshly-hatched Cyndaquil I've been looking to unload!4769 9747 5043
>>10114Alright, this is pretty much going to be the best trade ever. I'm going to leave my game on standby for the next hour or 2 as of posting this.
>>10115
Well that was exciting, but i don't think I'll trade on slower boards anymore. Enjoy your breedable solarbeam (I think? I'm not sure).
>10118It's an honor to be your last slow trade!
friends?
>>10162"Us furry-baits gotta stick together".
People keep calling it Backer, but if it's supposed to be a sport that combines Basketball and Soccer, shouldn't it be more like Baccer?
Because they're trying to hit the flying spinning football into the flying cyber net, you see.
Next week's episode will also be about the movie, except it will have come out by then, so it's a post-release show instead of a pre-release show!With musical guest Sukima Switch.
These are the IV calculations for my newly captured Lugia....should I keep?
>>10193Well, Lugia's asset is his defences, which you've got covered pretty nicely there.-Speed and low HP may be an issue.
Also some more cosplays were shown. I put it all in one image.
>>10199dat hitmontop
>>10206Why don't you have a seat over here.
Thinking about it, if there are any additional new Pokemon cameos in the movie like there usually are, they'd probably talk about them on Sunday.
I'm suddenly really disappointed that Brock didn't get a Cranidos.When does he get to go back to being a competent battler?
>>10267Never, since there's a rumor going around that Brock will be given the ax after Diamond and Pearl is over.
>>10267When he gets a girlfriend. Anyway, he never liked to battle in the first place.
Two Milotic? For shame, artist.
>>10291Garchomp would make more sense, but Roserade would also be a good choice.
I love Substitute sometimes.
There aren't many Basic Energy cards in these decks at all.I'm sure if I actually played the game, that would make sense.Special Energy cards and all.
>>10321I remember when, like, half your deck had to be devoted to Basic Energy or you'd fuck yourself over.Unless you were running one of those special decks without energy of any kind, those always blew my mind.
>>10322I know, right? But these barely even have 15 energies, special included.But these are World Championship winning decks so they must know what they doing.
General merriment, Black and White news and special guests await Pokemon Sunday's 300th Episode coming next week!
>>10199From this week.
I REALLY don't want to use an Action Replay for this Pokemon Platinum runthrough, but damnit I want me a Munchlax and this Honey Tree system is bullcrap.
>>10443To the GTS!
>>10444Haven't really found a wifi hotspot where I can actually use that thing on a regular basis. There is the community college, but I'm not sure it's open right now.
Ruler of Illusions Zoroark opened second.Had to compete with Toy Story 3 premiering on the same day.
One of my cosplay friends made this.
>>10471That's awesome. You have a great friend there.
Welp, 4chan did it, they now have their own Pokemon board...http://boards.4chan.org/vp/
>>10500wow!
I've gotta find some damn Rare Candies.
The hijinks are cut out of the recordings of Pokemon Sunday episodes.But those are the parts I wanted to see the most!
>>10520So while I finally found the episode they dedicate to the English version, the only part of it I've got is the part where they battle.Oh well.
NOSTAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLGGGGIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhttp://www.gatheringground.com/store/showproductdetails.asp?client=C40C83B3392442D8A0E5324BFE47718E&sesid=&oper=item&product=33305&page=0
He really is using all his Pokemon for this!
aww yeah girl
A bounty of footage on this, their 300th Episode!
Also Pokemon Centres will be giving away these Shopping Pikachu cards for free.
And they were in fact asking for all those cosplay pictures from kids so that they could be invited on stage for a cosplay contest.That's next week's episode.
I got bored.
I get kind of sick looking at the cosplayer photos because I know some pedo in Japan is probably getting off on them.
>>10718Well, you sucked all the fun and joy out of that one.
>>10716Yeah, I said this a while ago, but the graph makes it a lot easier to understand.Also, different sources seem to disagree on if the catch rate of a Dusk Ball at night/in a cave is x4 or x3.5.
>>10725perhaps they nerfed it for HG/SS so you'd want to use some of the other balls more.
You know what I hate most about ROMs? They only seem to save if you have the folder open.Goddamnit, eight straight hours work, and none of it stuck.
>>10740User Account Control?
>>10741Who and the what now?
>>10742Windows Vista UAC.It keeps programs from changing files in certain places unless you give them the permission to by running them in administrator mode.
>>10743My computer hasn't got Vista or 7. Just good old XP. Like it had back in 2002.
>>10745!
>>10746Yes, yes, I know, I need a new one. But damnit, I still don't have a job. Pulling together $2000 from odd jobs around the house is fucking hard.
>>10747>$2000What the fuck.You can build a high-quality gaming computer for like $800, if you're not worried about gaming, it could probably be brought down to less than $400.I guess that's still hard to gather by washing dishes, but Jesus Christ, $2,000? No.
>>10748Well, I was following that guide that /g/ had about what of each part to get, and when I checked it rang up to $1850.I'd show you the pic, but I can't seem to find it now.
>>10749Pictured computer will make like 98% of the games out to date its own personal collective bitch.And it's very easily upgraded in the future.Dunno if you need a new monitor, and OSes can be free if you know a guy(or have a brother who buys every new version of Windows).
>>10750Well, I don't know any guy, and I do need a new monitor.And a new printer.And Keyboard, and Speakers, and Mouse, and you get the idea, even it all was still under a $1000, that's a bitch to save up without a job. (I'm gonna try again this fall, but as I explained in that /baw/ thread, right now the job market is a bitch and a half.)
On another note.If I find one more Zigzagoon with that fucking useless Gluttony ability, I'm gonna murder someone.Goddamn, I'm not leaving until I get my Pickup army.
>>10757You could use it in battle.Delicious berries at only 1/2 health instead of 1/4
>>10758Yeah, but I'm not really interested in using Zigzagoon for anything but an added item farming system while I grind Pokemon, like I did back in Ruby.
Been following the Sinnoh League?It's pretty coooool.
>>10764JUN DOES A COMPLETE FLIP WHEN HE SENDS OUT HIS POKEMON.THAT SHIT IS BANANAS.
>>10765I love it.
Also, I made this.
>>10764Why is Barry so manly in the anime?
>>10764If it wraps up before Black and White appears, I'm hoping for another Orange Islands-esque filler region.I might actually watch the anime again.
>>10771Fuck your Orange Islands, I want another Battle Frontier arc!
>>10772You disgust me.
>>10773And YOU sicken me, isn't this a wonderful chain of events?
>>10771It won't, seeing as Black and White come out this September, and the anime tends to keep up with the main games' releases.However, there's a chance that Brock is leaving the group, which is kinda like the Orange Islands.I want to see the new loli that's going to be hanging around with Ash. All we've seen of her is a poor quality concept scan.
It's a Trick Room, Ash!
>>10777 I still miss Mistey
I really REALLY wish that he'd win this tournament for once. Of course, I know that if Ash were ever to win something, the series would implode, but GODDAMNIT I'm fucking sick of Ash. Focus on some other person. Sure it didn't work the last time they did it, but that's because ASH WAS ALREADY IN THE JOHTO SAGA.
>>10790There's already concept art of Ash for this new series on the way, so he's not leaving for many more years yet.
At any rate, Mystery Trainer has a face now.
>>10794It seems his name is Takuto and he beat all 8 gyms using just that Darkrai.
The one thing that has always annoyed me about the anime (aside of complete lack of plot, character progression, or sanity) is that Ash is the worst trainer ever, why is he the protagonist? Electric Tale of Pikachu makes it work, but that's like a parody/deconstruction of the whole thing.
>>10795The bastard.
In relatively local news, Pokémon figures invade Nintendo World.
No one fights like Gastrodon!
>>10796If we're talking about his catches and releases, the answer is money, my dear.It we're talking about how he loses every conference, the answer..is money, my dear.
>>10817It's not just losing conferences, it's continuing to lose a bunch of shit someone with as much experience as him shouldn't anymore.Basically, how he keeps getting written as such a rookie even long after he actually was one.
Guys, Orange Islands? At least Ash won the championship battle for that region...Ash could win Sinnoh.
>>10819He also won the Hoenn Battle Frontier challenge... which was in Kanto for pacing reasons. He was offered a position as a Brain afterward, but declined, saying something along the lines of "I have much more I want to see".Perhaps he was catching on to the fact that every time he ends a journey, 100 more of these weird critters show up?
>>10820Didn't one of those brains fall for him as well?
>>10824Annabel did. This time Ash had a decent excuse for being thick, she's kind of a reverse trap.
Also if you didn't notice since the tournament started the opening has been remixed to the BAND VERSION.
>>10825Lucy also fell for Brock because she has a thing for slitted eyes.Awwwww yeah.
The event only Pokemon is regional number 000 Bikuteni!The wifi event to distribute the Liberty Ticket you need to get it will start when the game comes out, so be sure to get it soon!http://www.pokemon-sp.jp/series/bw/subwin/spe_01.html
some triple battle action.
>>10853Sorry, that should be Bikutini.Perhaps some kind of pun on Victory and tiny.Victiny?
Also Exeggutor won the costume contest.
And one more thing!Best Wishes footage!
I know this sounds weird, and I cant really explain it, but I'm getting a bit of a 90's vibe from Black and White. I wonder why.
>>10868Is it because of Black or White?
Apparently the Octillery Chief Golgo uses is very important to him.
It has a Focus Band, you see.
And thus it was given away as an event Pokemon on two separate occasions.
Not bad for an Octillery, huh?
Be ready for that Enigma Stone distro.
>The EV walkthroughMan, I'm not putting that much work into stats I can't see! That's why I didn't care about Happiness until HG/SS!
>>10997You can see them.When you look at your stats at level 100 and go "Wow, this stat is 32 points higher"
>>10998Or when you level up after a nice EV-training session and Attack gets +32, HP gets +40, and everything else gets +1
>>11001Is the payoff really that immediate?
>>11003Yes, effort values from battle have you gain the stats the next time you level up.Hell, in 2nd gen and earlier you didn't even have to wait that long because you could just put a Pokemon in a box, change the box, change it back, and take it back out and it recalculates the stats giving you the stat growth without even leveling up!
>>11003When you're EV-training high-leveled Pokemon, yes. A friend of mine leveled up his Heatran after completely EV training it in one level, Sp. Attack went up +30.
I'm trying breeding for moves for the first time ever, using FireRed. I'm attempting to make a babby Nincada with a Dustox daddy, which I will then wait until level 38 to evolve, and then use TMs and tutoring to get my remaining moves.I hope to end up with a Ninjask that knows Metal Claw, Silver Wind, Toxic, and Arial Ace, and a Shedninja that knows Gust, Shadow Ball, Giga Drain, and Spite.Breedan/Movesets: am i doin it rite?
>>11022FFFFFSpite should be Grudge. Disregard.
>>11020Had an Azelf with a Special Attack that went up by +72 once.
FUCKING FEEBASWHERE ARE YOU YOU LITTLE TURDFISH
Something that might be fun to try: 1. level a pokemon up to 99 with rare candy. 2. EV train it with a standard 252/252/43. FINAL RARE CANDY4. Two stats should increase by a bit more than 63I've never tried it, but it might be fun to see.
>>11030Giving a Rare Candy to a Pokemon at level 99 that has had no EVs until level 99 will cause it to hit level 100 with no EVs. Giving a Pokemon a Rare Candy negates any EVs it's gained that level.
>>11031Actually, it just doesn't have the EVs "convert" into stats. The EVs don't just disappear, they hang around until the next time you level up normally.Though when used on a level 99 Pokemon it's the same thing because at level 100 you can't gain anymore levels.
>>11029Want to trade for it? Or are you on an emulator/have no wifi?
>>11040I am on a Gameboy Advance.
>>11040>>11043Oh nevermind I got one.Fuck yeah it's a male and everything. I'm trying to breed Flail into a Heracross.
>>11045Particular reason you're not using Reversal instead? It gets STAB and Heracross learns it by leveling up.
>>11046I will, it's just something to have in the meantime. I'm not a fan of grinding so I find it easier to focus on breeding/tm moves, especially if a move I want comes at level 40-or 50-something. Plus I just enjoy chain breeding.I've already hatched the Paras with Flail anyway.
>>10063Looks like that Heatran kid is out of the running.
I'm actually getting excited and they had to go and not have an episode this week.Gliscor's back and Infernape knows Flare Blitz!
>>11048I sort of want to watch Ash fight Paul, if only to see the guy FINALLY LOSE.
>>11051Then you want to watch Paul vs Cynthia or Paul vs Brandon
>>11052Correction, I'd like to see him lose a fight that isn't insanely stacked against him. Getting beaten by three Regi's doesn't really count.
OKAY OKAY OKAY. I'll do it. But only for the teammate who needs it the most.
The thing is, I know there's gonna be someone who'd gonna say that Ash's inevitable victory over Paul's team won't count because Paul's team will not be the same as the usual team (save the newly-evolved Electivire) he uses to curb stomp the hapless hero.
>>11065At least he doesn't have to worry about Guts this time.
:(
I decided to liven up some of my backgrounds in Pokemon Online.Nothing extreme, just whatever I can create with resources from Pokemon game openings.
My friends and I have decided to design a Megaman themed bug team for shits and giggles. So far we have:Protoman the Scizor (Technician, Yellow Scarf, Reversal, Pursuit, Flash Cannon, Swagger) Gutsman the Heracross (Guts, Choice Band, Revenge, Brick Break, Strength, Take Down)Cutman the Pinsir (Hyper Cutter, Shed Shell, X-Scissor, Cut, Swords Dance, Fury Cutter)We know it sucks so far. I promised I'd ask my internet Pokemon friends for ideas. So... ideas?
>>11129This is only vaguely related, but I started a MM2 hack a while back. Had Ditto Man as the protagonist, and a few Robot Masters done, as well as their powers.Scizor Man to replace Quick Man, X Scissor as his weapon, nothing but a sprite replacement, really.Magmar Man to replace Heat Man, Overheat for his power. Fires a massive, slow-moving wall of fire, absorbs any shots that hit it(that is, enemies can't shoot through it), does high damage to whatever it hits, uses the entire energy bar in one go. A screen-clearer.Was in the process of making my Bubble Man replacement, don't recall who it was was, when I had to reformat and lost everything. Haven't had the motivation to try again since.
>>11129Roll -> IllumiseProtoman -> LedianZero -> ScizorGutsman -> HeracrossCutman -> PinserWoodman -> ForretressFlashman -> Ninjask
EVERYONE STEP THE FUCK BACKIGOTA DSI can afford one, maybe two Pokemon gaems.Make my decision for me (considering I've never played G/S/C so I can't pick etweebHG/SS based on which one I liked before).
>>11140Platinum and SS. Platinum is the third game in the group and therefore the best, SS is just what I have.
>>11140http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_HeartGold_and_SoulSilver_Versions#Pok.C3.A9monList of exclusive pokémon for Heart gold and Soul silver. See which ones you like best.
>>11142Exclusives aren't an issue; I am in an anime club so I can trade for pretty much any pokemon because all my friends are nnnnnnneeeeerrrrrrrrrdddds.>>11141K :D
>>11143And upon further inspection of this list all the exclusives are available in the gen3 games.
If only Sleep Clause was on by default in PBR Random Wifi.
>>11151Augh, clauses aside from Item Clause and Species Clause enrage me so. I almost never violate them even when they're turned off, but when I see people whining about Sleep Clause cause they're getting swept by Butterfree, I honestly try and telekinetically choke them to death.
>>11163Sleep Clause exists solely because of Breloom and Darkrai, I feel.
>>11151>Darkrai>Giratina>ArceusThis guy is a massive faggot. Did you kick his ass thoroughly?
>>11170Looks like I managed it 4-6
>>11169Darkrai, I can handle. Darkrai is ez-modo.Fuck Breloom and Sleep Clause though. There just needs to be a Sporepunch clause.
I still stand by Stealth Rock being claused.
>>11176But then single battles will just be even more switching every where.I'm already having trouble dealing with the amount of switching that goes on even when they're taking Stealth Rock damage...I'M A TERRIBLE SINGLE BATTLER.
>>11196There's always Spikes and Toxic Spikes.
>Battle Frontier
>>11209I had all the silver prints and two gold ones....Don't go in with anything less than competitive-level 'mons, or don't expect to make much progress.
Is Toxic Spikes a good move?
>>11213Very good, especially for (or against) teams that rely on stall.
>>11198Well, I do have Toxic Spikes...My new hobby is to Baton Pass power to Lucario, and then he tears through everything.
Pokémon Organized Play is now known as Play! Pokémon
>>11215Personally, Marowak is my Pass recipient of choice.
>>11217Well if it were speed, then sure.But this is Nasty Plots with the occasional Ancient Power.Lucario seems to handle that the best.
Fighting!
I'm planning on doing an LP of a Pokemon game, but since all the originals have been done, I was thinking of doing a ROM hack. Would that be a good idea? And if so, which one should I go with?
>>11277Pokemon /tr/oll version.Ask around /vp/ for a link. Last I went there was a fuckstorm about the new Team Badguy and I don't have the patience to sift through that shit anymore.
>>11283http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omEIlfq88tUYou mean this right?
>>11277But, you're not funny. You'd be terrible at LPing.
... You know those rubberband bracelets that are shaped like things that are all the rage now?They should make those with pokemon. I would wear the fuck outta them.
>>11284The link in that description is really old and has a lot of bugs and unfinished bits. But yeah that's the rom.Might be more fun to stream it than LP it.

I feel like there'd be more fun to be had if there wasn't an easy way to tell Zoroark apart from the legendary beasts.
Brawl has all kind of texture hacks. All PBR has is music changing hacks.But now I can remove the music entirely and add some in after I've cut out all the wait times.Seamless music playing WITH the sound effects and announcer commentary still in.Woot.

Paul's packing Toxic Spikes!
ENTIRE EPISODE IS BATTLE.
>>11611>And DUDE implies a male (I even looked it up in the dictionary) >No I dont want to trade you my killerhamster. I like him plus I only have one Bidoof pokemon.>Or maybe I'll feed her just DRY POFFINS which she DISLIKES This is amazing. How old are these people anyway?
>>11716I have NO idea. I'm hoping 12.
>>11719I've debated politics with twelve-year-olds. I'm leaning closer to 9-ish.
>>11721No one younger than 16 should be allowed to own a wifi enabled device of any kind.
>>11611oh god i can't stop laughing
>>11771We need Katie in here to talk about pokemon with us.

>New Pokemon HG and SS commercial with Dylan and Cole Sprouse
Got an old LeafGreen cartridge off a friend and, since I've nothing better to do with it, I'm trying to soft reset until I get a shiny starter. Now when you look at the starters and the little preview box pops up, will it have the shiny coloring in the preview? It would save a hell of a lot of time if it did.
>>11813Nope.I know, it's a bitch. The Gen 4 games do have the shiny sprites in the selection screens, though.
Well, Ash is now in the top four, after beating Paul hard with his old Chimchar. His first opponent's gonna be the Darkrai guy. And the other two are people I don't think we've seen yet.... Yeah, Ash isn't gonna win the next one.
>>11829If they don't take the time to develop Takuto (Darkrai's Trainer), I bet he'll be why Ash goes to Isshu."Christ, what was that guy's problem? What, he's going to Isshu? I'm there!"
IT'S TASTING TIME
>>11831I love how NONE of the trailers for Best Wishes are showing Ash in them. Makes people think, "Hey, maybe they're going to follow someone else now! Maybe they finally realized we don't want to see that idiot anymore!"And then right when Takuto beats Ash, they'll finally show the trailer with ASH AND PIKACHU EVERYWHERE.
So, Viz has finally started releasing new volumes of Pokemon Special/Adventures after nearly a decade (they're going to be releasing the 2nd and 4th gen volumes at the same time). Did anyone else buy a volume?
>>11845Been collecting the reprint of Gen 1's since they started them. Was more of an Electric Tale fan back in the day.
...I guess we're not getting another Battle Frontier arc....Sigh...
dun dun dun
>>11901You know, I've realized why the Diamond and Pearl conclusion's pissing me off so much. The ending basically has this guy that's come out of nowhere, used a legendary pokemon, and has plowed through all his competition and will plow through Ash as well, AND WE'RE ONLY HEARING ABOUT HIM NOW. The guy reads like a freaking Gary Stu. There's no lesson being learned about waiting to fight your rival, no learning to have full control over your pokemon before you let them fight, not even being bested by someone playing your own strategy, just "LOL we know we made Ash make it this far, best all his past rivals and obstacles, but you know what? We want him for another region instead of making a new character, so FUCK IT, bring in the random guy with the Uber!"Just, fuck, I know I shouldn't care this much about a damn show, but DAMNIT this used to be going somewhere! What the fuck?!?!
>>11906If they had built this guy up over the series, it would've made things that much more awesome.
Does anyone else get the feeling that either Ash will beat the dude with the Darkrai and lose to someone else using far more normal Pokemon in the finals, or at least beat the Darkrai then get beaten by some more normal Pokemon from the same trainer? He's making some progress as he went from top 16, to top 8, stayed at top 8 (though the guy he lost to at least won the whole tournament), and now he's at least made the top 4.Like how in the last conference Ash beat Tyson's Metagross with Pikachu but then got beaten by his Meowth, using Thunderbolt of all things?
>>11917He won't. The press release for Best Wishes says he loses this fight.
>>11920You now realize that Ash's only conference win will always be the Orange League, and that isn't even a real league let alone that league is easy mode.I just wish the anime would have more battling like this, or at least more often. Too bad there will always be 50 episodes of filler between gym matches or rival battles.
>>11920 Huh. I didn't think the writers would condone sweeping with one legendary.
>>11926It's a loss you can't really blame on Ash's skills. He didn't really lose, he was presented an unbeatable opponent.
So a number of you have agreed to afford me the opportunity to do the Black and White LP when a ROM and English patch come out.Sooooo, I need to know a good DS rom player, get some experience using it and prepare myself for the arduous screenshoting task ahead.
http://pokefarm.org/_ext/user/ladyjazzI NEED YOU TO CLICK MY POKEMONS.
>>11951No$GBA.
HOLY SHIT
Ugh why does grinding become so damn impossible after level 40.
Ash confirmed for Best Wishes.(As if there was ever any doubt)
>>12005Why do his eyes seem even bigger and more soulless than normal.
>>12006Because Sugimori's artstyle has bigger eyes than they used to.
You probably already have a good idea of how the Sinnoh League turned out, but...
>>12008God fuckshitniggerasscuntadhtjadfgøa df goiafghafg
>>12008And this is why the anime is shit. Well, one of the reasons.
>>12009>>12010Oh, it's not so bad. Ash made it to the top 4 at least.And he became the only to actually KO his Darkrai and even defeated his Latios by double knockout for the game.
>>11926He didn't. Darkrai got beaten and he needed to use another legendary (Latios) against Ash which itself was part of double-KO (but since Takuto has 4 more he never showed anyone he still won), then went back to sweeping the finals with Darkrai like >>12011 indicated, which seems to mean that if Takuto wasn't here Ash would have won the whole tournament.
>>12005It looks better in motion, IMO.Also:>Dat hat turn.>Dat D'awwwjimaru.
>>12011 >>12012 Well, that's just a whole new level of faggotry.
>>12008>>12011Okay so...A: A FUCKING LATIOS. YOU MUST BE SHITTING ME.B: Where the hell are Cynthia's tits?
>>12016They're the champion's trophy. Now that Takuto's won, they're Takuto's tits.As if having two legends wasn't enough. Truly he is a force to be reckoned with.
Aw yeah, he used the Sleep Talk he taught Heracross to counter Nando's Sing to counter Dark Void.
So Darkrai Guy won, what does that mean for the Elite Four and Cynthia? Does he have to fight them now before he can call himself the champ?
>>12030Has any Elite Four ever done anything in the anime? I think the only one of the Kanto members that appeared was Bruno.
>>12032All four of them made an appearance at least once, plus Koga appeared in his role as a Gym Leader if that counts. Will and Karen never appeared.Of the Hoenn branch, only Steven, Drake, and Wallace ever appeared.But in Sinnoh, all four of them, plus the Champion Cynthia appeared. Also, according to Bulbapedia:"It has been hinted by Lucian in An Elite Meet and Greet! that when a Trainer wins their respective region's Conference Tournament, they can participate in the Elite Four Challenge, fighting the four members of that region's Elite Four, and then possibly the Champion as well. "
>>12032We've seen Lance (who's a government officer), Lorelei (though she was called Prima in the dub, because Lorelei couldn't fit the lip-flaps for "Kanna", and she giving lectuers), Agatha (temporary Viridian City gym leader), Drake (who is a ship captain in his spare time), Aaron (he was getting ready for a championship battle with Cynthia, which he lost), Bertha (Ash and friends helped get back a Pokemon stolen from a relative of hers), Flint (he tried to convince Volkner to battle Ash), and Lucian (met Ash's group randomly). Notably, the Sinnoh Elite Four were actually described as a group before any of those episodesA couple of them battled Ash, and as you might guess they all won easily. Except Lucian, who fought Dawn with the same results.
>>12034The question is, how well could they take on Takuto? They handled Ash breezily, but he's developed a lot since then, and was almost on equal footing with the dickbag.Cynthia and Paul battled before, as well, and though her Garchomp made short work of his team, he also grew much stronger between the early episodes and the Sinnoh Conference.
>>12034 Don't forget Bruno and that giant Onix.
>>12036I know, it's just that the person I was responding to already mentioned that.
>>12014Mijuu mijuuuu~Mijumaru is so cute, I-I think I am going to pick him.Oh god why is he so ugly-cute.Also.FUCK THAT DUDE.HOW CAN HE HAVE LATIOS AND DARKAIRARNSJDFGDFG IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
>>12041Perhaps he used one to catch the other.
>>9647I honestly wanted to see if Ash could force Takuto into using more Pokemon. I knew Ash was going to lose, but there was some bit of hope in my mind that we could see some more of the guys team.
>>12045Darkrai, Latios, and then four Arceus.
>>12046His backup team is five Mews and a fucking Wargreymon.
>>12047No, he has Six Spiritombs with Wonder Guard.
>>12048Or maybe a Slaking with Huge Power.
Always believe in the hat turn and finish it off with Iron Tail while smiling.
>>12051Cheating bastard or not, at least he isn't a total dick about winning. That alone makes him more tolerable than Paul.Still sucks, though. Too bad Ash can't call in any favors from all the legendaries he's helped in the past. Mewtwo or Deoxys showing up would cause serious brick-shitting.
>>12051Fuck it.I'm sick of ash loosing in the end.
>>12051GODDAMN Ash, sucks that he lost but that's a hell of a way to end it. It makes it hurt a little bit more that he's gonna go all the way back to rookie next time we see him.
>>12053I've always thought that the grand finale (ha ha) will involve Ash riding Ho-oh to face the super-mega-ultra-threat.
Ash is like the Trix Rabbit. He just wants to win at least once in the big leagues, just like how the Rabbit wants a bowl of the cereal that has HIS FACE on the fucking box. But no, the writers/greedy brats won't let them have their victory/breakfast.
Does anyone else think that once Black and White come out in Japan we should make a thread for everything only revealed from actually playing the game for the sake of letting people ignore spoilers?
Now watch this guy juggle.
Iron Tail, now actually iron-like!
>Ash dedicates time training his pokemon in a long journey were he grows as a trainer and a person.>Random faggot shows up with legendaries at the last minute and just sweeps through the entire league.>Ash could have won the league if not for a guy who's the equivalent of a 13 year old boy who only uses legendaries and ubers.>My face.Fuck this, I'm just sticking to PokeSpe.
I hope Blake and Whitney (or whatever they'll be called) make at least a cameo appearance in the new series.I want to see them animated.Also, I don't think I can wait for Grey/Checkered/Spectrum/ whatever.
>>12083
...Sudden thought. How do you use items on Pokemon that aren't in battle? Do you release them just long enough to tend to their wounds, or what?
>>12088You zap the item with the recall laser and it mixes the item molecules with the Pokemon's.
I just caught a Heracross on my Nuzlocke run.And named him Ted Kord.
Today, the anime wrapped up Brock's existence by evolving Happiny. Impressed with how he handled a gang of Tentacruel poisoning a group of baby Pokémon, a Nurse Joy suggests that he look into becoming a Pokémon Doctor.And thus, Ash's most constant human companion will bid (a far overdue) farewell next week.
Oh and the Rockets get so depressed over their constant failures that they dye their clothes black. Or something.
>>12237Doesn't this leave TEAM ROCKET as the only remaining human companions he's had since the start?
>>12238I'm not sure whether Giovanni's outfit looks badass because of how much it makes him look like a general or stupid because of how much it makes him look like a bellhop
>>12238I looks kind of like they got a promotion. And Giovanni is looking rather UNF in dat coat. Just needs a hat and some ropey things on the shoulders.
YES, CROBAT GET, STOCKHOLM IS OFFICIALLY PERMANENT ROSTERNow to work on the Gastly and Geodude.
>>12247And now Geodude is dead.Balls.
>>12247>STOCKHOLMwut?
>>12266http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm
>>12267No, no not that Stockholm. THIS Stockholm. Sh...she likes Crobats, and I couldn't think of anything else to call it.
>>12268BROBAT
>>12267Yeah, I live just a mile or so north of there, I just wonder why you'd name a crobat...>>12268Ah. Um, not that I know who that is really.Also, I named my Crobat Wayne.
Mijumaru on the show already?
/vp/ may be the shittiest board in existence. I can't even get an art thread going over all the stupid postnumber games and sprite fusions.
Someone around here really likes Omanyte and Omastar, I forget who.But I thought you'd like this.
>>12294That's Tiki, and that's ADORABLE.
Your face when electric Charmander card.Why isn't "Thunderbite" a move?"
>>12300...It is...http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Thunder_Fang
>>12304I mean why didn't they call it "thunderbite". Because, you know, it sounds like "underbite"... it's supposed to be clever but I need sleep.
These seem cool.
Is this what the set will look like when Black and White come out??Seems a little boring to me, actually.
>>12367Hey look, new Pokemons.
Thoughts? Comments?
>>12369Pokemon already has gameplay flaws that need to be fixed before adding any more gimmicks. Which is what everything on that list is, not "SHIT THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN POKEMON."Also stay away from /tr/ or you'll catch rabies or something.
>>12370/tr/ is okay...I got a Celebi and Kyogre from there.
>>12370MORE LIKE CATCH POKERUS AMIRITE
>>12374>implying catching the Pokerus is a bad thing.
After a bit of searching for pics, I think the HG/SS set might be my favourite Pokemon Sunday set.
I mean, if the hosts themselves are going to be wearing bright and colourful outfits the set they're in should be colourful as well, right?
Any of you up for an Explorers of Sky rescue? My trainee team got nailed on Level 10 of the Northern Desert.1@1CF0NTFM9+J+X6046C5&+K2=2CC9NN9KF#QYNH+947KM4QCY8K38
Guys.Guys.Did we know about this.http://alexonsager.net/pokemon/images/fused/68.52.png
>>12393Pokesplice? We have a thread, right here: >>11410
>>12395Change the numbers around. They have splices of a lot of things.
>>12396Oooh, I see. They seem to be using some sort of "generator" that automaticly recollours the sprites and put the heads in place, with... mixed resultshttp://alexonsager.net/pokemon/images/fused/20.3.png
I think I have the evidence that Infernape is too big in PBR....I may need to get pictures where it's not raining.
2 Ubers, it's like I'm really at the VGC.
>>12436(Especially since one of them is Kyogre)
Hey, the cat is gone.
>>12454Christ, Shokotan is tiny.Best Wishes Episode 1 preview is out. Pikachu gets a justified de-powering by being zapped by Zekrom, who decided to drop in.Christ, what an asshole.
>>12456>Christ, what an asshole.Who, Pikachu or Zekrom?
>>12454Well gang, it looks like we have another mystery on our hands. So let's split up and look for clues to solve this Phantom-cat Pokemon Puzzle.
>>12467Or we could just wait a week for the games to be released, and I'm sure we'll find out more.
>>12467Perhaps they just decided it didn't look nice on the set.Watch the real set look slightly different from that anyways.
>>12456Wait, wait, is Brock gone too?! BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK! THEY TRIED THAT ALREADY!
>>12487I think they want to totally give a breath of fresh air to the anime too by going with a girl that isn't the female choice in the games and a new guy.Hopefully Dento just acts smug around chicks and not gay like Tracey.
>>12489If they really want a breath of fresh air, make the new male partner this guy.
>>12487Brock leaving sucked, but him staying around while never doing anything related to his goal of being a Pokemon Breeder was even worse.I'd be fine if this Don George dude join; an older dude as a travel companion sounds kind of interesting.I'd also be fine if it was just Ash and Iris.
>>12487They made the mistake of replacing a Gym Leader with some random guy they made up.This time they're replacing him with another Gym Leader.
...Wasn't the waiter-looking guy with green hair joining the team, too?
>>12490Hell, we're already halfway there.
Same seiyuu as this other Guy, too.
>>12467As it turns out, they took the video down and removed the cat because Masuda wanted this week's episode to be Choroneko's world debut.
>>12598So Masuda was behind it! Good thing he didn't get away with--Oh wait, I guess he did. Oh well.
>>12609Well, the coro coro leaks kind of ruined his whole "world debut" as far as the internet was concerned.But I guess it still counts for the general public.
>>12598I still have Masuda's autograph on my DS. :3
So I think tomorrow night I'm going to try to LP a Fire Red Nuzlocke run. If you all are interested...
>>12667only if you do it in the style of a Protomen Album

The GTS website (http://www.pokemon-gts.net/) is now closed.Here are trade rankings on the last day of operation.
Your know what I'd like to see? The ability to "Equip" multiple items instead of just holding one. There could be like a categorized system that would let you use certain items together, such as blackglasses and choice scarf, but not if the items would conflict in position, like blackglasses and choice specs.
It's starting. Soon people will be all over every byte and there will be no secrets, not even the event Pokemon Game Freak wants to keep secret for a few years.It's kind of depressing.
How long before smogon tourney fags take over Gen 5?>>11163>Turn on Sleep, Item what ever clauses....> Proceed to use Stealth Rock, Spikes, and roar for the whole battle> Rage quit when your Skarmory dies.>Cry in the chatroom about how no one offers you a challenge.
>>12688Or at least a few more very elaborate fakes.It's hard to tell at this point.
I hope if there's a rematch with the Super Dento bros, you get to fight all three in a triple battle instead of just one.
>>12691Have you ever considered that competitive battlers get bored pretty quickly when you insult them by taking potshots at people they mercilessly mock? It's like insulting a religious person by making fun of fundies. As for your question, how long until a group of people that enjoy playing a game start playing a game? As soon as possible, I would say. So, 2 days.
>>12692I hope someone eventually scans it so I can print it, cut it out, and put it on one of my DS cases and freak my cousins out.
We'll probably be seeing the new Pokémon Sunday facelift next month.Probably no more Lucario after that.
>>12782Oh snap, change that.Pokemon Sunday is ending on the 26th.A full-fledged finale episode and everything.
>>12796Everything I've seen about this show indicates nothing of value will be lost.
>>12797:(
New plush toys arrived at Amazon recently. I'm considering this Shaymin here, but could they really not do a better job on the eyes?
Apparently a Pokemon Centre in a vending machine has shown up in Seattle.More may be coming to malls near you!
>>12940...where in Seattle?That place looks familiar to me, and I don't know if I'm just being hopeful
>>12954Northgate?
>>12964Holy crap. That is totally the mall right outside my apartment building.BRB
>>12998Maybe you can find out if it's real.
>>13041It totally is! I am now the proud owner of a Spiky-Eared Pichu plush.It seems like it was just set up since there was a man hanging around to help with the technical difficulties (which we did have when trying to buy things). They had the plushs, video games, and little figurines on sale. Plus, there was little touch-screen and wii-games on the sides. It was pretty fun. I hope they change the merchandise around eventually with more stuff.
Ash saved the Soothe Bell Paul gave him.
>>13076That's weird, where did he get the Focus Band from?
>>13076Ash saves everything he won from tournaments. Even if his mom tried using his Orange League Championship trophy as a dumbbell...
