But for here...

>Team Rocket is back to normal?
>okay.jpg

...Well, maybe not. We still won't be seeing them in the next airing episode (which involves Bianca and Emolga), so we'll have to see whether or not they will go back to being Ash's punching bags.

James also befriends and captures a Yamask, giving him a Pokémon after 25 straight episodes of nothing.

>>19536
Well from what I hear their next objective is Looking for Giovani who was Kidnapped by Team plasma So maybe they wont see ash until he meets up with Team Plasma

I haven't watched the anime in ages, but my understanding is that the current season has changed writing staff completely and is now actually good, being about the entire Rocket organization have decided to seriously ruin Unova's day.

Yeah, from what I've seen (not much because I can only view it via wherever on internet) the show really has taken Rocket to a new level.

Though I do take issue with how it feels like Ash and co were hit with chloroform, mind wiped, and tossed into a situation where they don't know anything. I mean wow, I knew how the show in the past had him act dumbfounded at new pokemon, but it's like he's never seen a pokemon now. It even seems like he's forgotten about everything that has happened in his past? Will we never see old characters make a reappearance or have callbacks?

And why does EVERYONE look so short? Otherwise, I like the new show. I stopped watching the minute the Advanced series began, not liking it much after a few episodes. I've started again with this series, albeit only seeing episodes 4-6.

And can someone direct me to a good place to watch all of the new series's episodes, because I'd really like to give it a shot.

>>19565
People in Pokemon have always been oddly short: it's a side effect of them all being kids which is easy to forget. Old characters probably won't be making many reappearances seeing as it's Unova, until they get incredibly desperate for writing material.

>>19554
>but my understanding is that the current season has changed writing staff completely and is now actually good

Diamond and Pearl was awesome

BW is alright, not as good as DP but still good.

Who the hell is he? I think I missed it.

I think he's the new Nurse Joy?

So this happened.

Got a Heatran plush~ It's a Japanese import; does that count towards donating to relief efforts? Of course I did donate a total of $85 already, so with this it's around $120.

Like what Japan had, it's a game that, if you beat, will let you get one of the Eevee evolutions on the Global Link when it launches some indeterminate time this Spring.

Protip: The orbs decide which one you win.
Collect only the orbs corresponding to the one you want!
Psychic and Dark orbs dont' show up until level 3, while Grass and Ice orbs are in level 4

>>20040

The question lies in which to get..

>Vaporeon - Hydration
>Jolteon - Quick Feet
>Flareon - Guts
>Espeon - Magic Bounce (Grants an inherent one-time Magic Guard each turn)
>Umbreon - Inner Focus
>Leafeon - Leaf Guard
>Glaceon - Ice Body

I'm leaning Jolteon or Espeon. If I get a female, I'll be able to make Dream Eevee for the rest, too.

Will a pokemon that likes Bitter flavour still lose happiness if given herbal medicine?

>>20095
Yes.

>>20094
I can feel that.
I lost my DSi at work.
And I work cleaning rental cars, so losing it in one of those means its gone forever.
There's a reason I only wear pockets with zippers.

>>20101
I feel for you man.

...Though I did manage to find mine. It WAS in the lecture hall, but I had to wait until my night classes to get in there with nobody around and dig under the seats.

Pokemon Smash got a new opening animation.
Interestingly, it has all the Pokemon currently owned by Ash, Dent and Iris and a Cottonee.

I wonder what that miserable bastard Yahtzee's reviewing toda-
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/3008-Pokemon-White

>>20325
Good job stealing a joke from something awful.

Out of nowhere I've just realized I sent my pokewalker through the wash and dryer. So much for being on a good streak.

>>20349
Is it still functional? I've had stuff like that go through a full laundry cycle and come out fine in the past.

>>19716
Rad.

>>19716
Related: because of that code, you can't trade a Cofagrigus over GTS without giving it a nickname first.

>>20357
I'm still trying to figure that one out. In what language does any part of it's name become offensive?

>>20371
>fag

>>20374
...OH! Well, okay then. That's a bit of a stretch though. I mean, this can't be the only pokemon this applies to. It just seems unlikely that with 640+ pokemon, only 1 just so happens to contain three letters in a row that happen to be a derogatory term.

>>20375
Well, there's Skuntank, Marshtomp, Emonga...

So I made this because I hate one-sided discussions.

>>20420
Ash is made of plot armor and deus ex machina. Few of his victories had anything to do with skill.
Not to mention that the anime completely ignores basic Pokemon mechanics and doesn't even bother to have any consistency on its own terms.

>>20421

...When's the last time you watched the anime?

>>20421
I'm telling you, eet's changed, mang!

Ash is still ten after all of his adventures. Pikachu's power is still a function of the plot.

Fuck the anime. It was supposed to end after Kanto and the first movie and it shows. Johto was shit, most of Hoenn was shit. Not trying again, that ship has sailed.

Also the first movie and that other Mewtwo movie were the dumbest shit ever. SAILOR MOON made more sense than that.

>>20491
Ash is actually 11 now.

>>20494
Says who?

I don't see why people are so hung up on Ash's age anyways.

>>20491
Diamoand and Pearl and Best Wishes are awesome, bro.
>>20254
I assume that confirms Dent is catching it then.

>>20499
Or Ash??

>>20500
Hope not, Jesus, he's getting a ton of Pokemon really fast. I hope Dent gets it since he's the Grass/Bug user.

>>20499
I would love to watch it if ash for no reason just forgot the basics of being a Pokemon trainer.

>>20501
They did promise he would catch Pokemon more enthusiastically than ever before.

This far and away will always be my favorite pokemon theme, the movie version of the Johto theme.

Pokémon 3 Soundtrack: 02 - Pokémon Johto

>>20502
Wait, do you mean if he for no reason DID forget the basics, or of he DIDN'T forget the basics? Because...

>>19678
There were so many bizarre crossovers when Pokemon aired on Kids WB.

Pokemon KidsWB Promo Compilation

I like this and I don't know why.

pokemon park mad s 02 ep 02

>>20568
Oh god, I never really realized how weird all of those promotional things were until just now.

>>20569
I have to admit that that was actually kinda funny when you think about. The ending comments made it for me though.

OK, scratch that, Team Rocket is still competent.

>>20666

What have they been doing? The only scene I ever saw was when they successfully infiltrated a building of some sort. But it was all in japanese so I couldn't follow it.

>you can run indoors in B/W
>it's apparently based on America
>the American kid has no manners and so he gets to run indoors
God bless you, stereotypes.

>>20708
I distinctly remember being able to run indoors in other games.

>>20709
I know you could run inside of Pokemon centers, but I'm pretty sure being able to run inside other buildings(save for [evil team] Headquarters) is new?

But maybe I am remembering wrong. I have slept very little in the past few days, so it's more likely than not.

>>20708
>>20709
>>20710
The PC has been able to run anywhere (but in deep snow and sand) since Diamond and Pearl.

>>20711
My bad then, I'm just an idiot. B)

So where does everyone read the BW Chapters of Pokemon Special, and has anything past chapter five been scanlated?

>>20667
Well for one thing, they haven't blasted off in forever.

Ash and company almost get's there asses handed back to them every time they fight as opposed to Ash just curb stomping them.

James was shooting stuff with a Laser Beam.

Just generally not acting like to old team rocket.

You know, everyone gives Hypno and Drowzee a hard time, but I bet with proper training, they could use their dream-eater ability to effectively cure schizophrenia.

Remaking Ruby and Sapphire for the 3DS would not be a stretch. 2012/2013 will be the 10th year anniversary. Ruby and Sapphire would go with the whole "3DS" theme in a way because the colors match old 3D glasses. Plus with how you have to transfer Pokemon from Gen 3 twice just to get them to gen 5 and how you'd probably have to transfer them three times with the coming of a sixth gen, it'd make sense that they'd remake them to allow easier transfer.

Also holy shit Ruby and Sapphire are almost 10 years old.

We got a trade thread? 'cause I need a rufflet or Braviary to complete my pokedox.

>>20805
Sixth gen is probably at least two or three years off. We've got to see Pokemon Gray first. But yeah, given past patterns most likely Ruby / Sapphire would be remade between Gray and Gen 6.

VGC fun starts in May!
I wish there'd be Canadian events.

There probably won't be Diamond and Pearl remakes for Gen 6.

That would just be getting silly.

>>20877
Aw, and I was so looking forward to the Black and White Remakes for Gen 7.

HEY! HEY! WHERE THE HELL DID MOST OF MY BLACK CITY GO?! I HAD AT LEAST 3 TRAINERS AND A BUNCH OF BUILDINGS AND PLACE WHERE A GUY GAUGED MY GREED AND GAVE ME MONEY!

AND NOW THEY'RE ALL GONE!

>>20881
Did you recently change the clock on your ds?

>>20886
NO! When I did do that nothing changed!

>>20889
Hmmm... Cause clock changes makes the game reduce the city/forest.

Were you in the vicinity of someone playing pokemon white?

>>20914
Clock changes can do that? May I ask how and why this happens?

>>20914
Noooooooope.

>>20915
Well, the game populates your black city/white forest based on how many days real time it took you to get to there the first time. So if your game senses that your clock has gone say, backwards, shit's gunna decrease.

>>20917
Wouldn't turning the clock backwards make it increase, since less playtime is better?

>>20919
It's a standard thing in Pokemon. Back in Gen 4 if you reset your DS clock you'd be locked out of doing the Pal Park Transfer for 24 hours from the time you reset, to prevent "time travel" cheats. This is most likely the same thing.

I imagine the way it works is that every time you start the game, it compares the time you've started to the last time you turned off the system, and figures out the difference. Then it sees if enough time has passed that it needs to drop the population of Black City/White Forest.

Most likely they either use the absolute value for the difference (so whether it's forward or backward makes no difference) or they treat all negative values as being a constant value that drops a resident or two.

>>20921
The game would also lock out daily events if you moved your clock forward (to catch a weekly Pokemon like Drifloon for example) so I think it just sees if you moved the clock.

I've never had a time travel problem because I'd just change the date to the day before the one I want and change the time to 23:59.

This is bullshit, apparently no matter what I do my white forest is going to be completely empty because I'm too busy to play everyday.

I traded a Kangaskhan for a Japanese (I think) Gothita. Caught in 2009.
I think it's cool.

>N speaks very quickly, as indicated by the fact that his dialogue is printed faster than that of other characters

Hory shit, how did I not notice that? His dialogue speed is ridiculous

UPCOMING EVENT NOTICE!

April - 27- 2011 to May- 31- 2011
Toys 'R' Us Egg Giveaway
Receive one of three eggs over the wi-fi.
The pokemon hatched are as follows:
Iris' Axew
Cilan's Pansage
Ash's Pidove

For more information on said pokemon look here: http://www.serebii.net/events/2011.shtml
http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=4311963

Now I wonder if there's a way to get all three eggs.

>>20978

>Ash's Pidove

>>20978
>there's probability to the eggs
>ash's pidove has the highest

>>20979
>>21018

Yeeaaaaaaah, I'm not sure if I could sacrifice 30 miles for that.

>>21020
Actually I don't know if there's probability or not, I just wanted to post that picture.

Got a naive axew with terrible iv spread. Derp.

So after buying Black 2-3 days after release, I just now beat the main storyline. Now I can grind myself retarded for 50 levels so I can catch up to you guys and inevitably be murdered because I don't know how the multiplayer metagame functions at all.

HOORAY.

>>21046
Fuck grinding. Run headfirst into all those level 60 trainers.

>>21046
I prefer to level as I go, even if it takes me a while to get through main storyline. I like my pokemon equally leveled if possible, and I like to get everything out of everything I can before I finish.

>>21048
That's exactly how I did it. I kept myself mostly even leveled up until the Elite Four, N, and Ghetis, where I just used whatever worked. I didn't even fight wild pokemon much, because basically all I spent money on was repels and a stack of revives for the E4.

>>21047
My understanding (not that I looked for much) was the only thing in post game stuff is one cave, Black City, and some super trainers like the foreign champions and new E4. What else is around?

>>21049
Post game, you can re-match the following people daily, unless noted:

Game Freak Morimoto
Cheren
Bianca (only on saturdays, after you beat E4 a second time)
Riches (just make sure to lose to the last guy, or else you can't rematch them anymore)
Black City
Nimbasa Sport Domes
Rotation/Triple Battle Houses
Ferris Wheel
Royal Unova
Cynthia
E4

And of course the post game areas that contain the legendaries have some trainers, although you can't rematch them daily.

>>21050
Derp. Forgot to mention that Cynthia can only be rematched during spring and summer.

Just ran into a level 18 Darumaka who slaughtered 2 of my level 22 Pokemon with no effort, without dying, in a Sandstorm.

Caught the fuck out of that thing, clearly it is the Darumaka chosen by Arceus himself to be the Alpha of all daruma-based Pokemon.

>>20921
>>20922

Ok, I had to change the time on my DS because it was off by an hour.
Now when I try to use game sync it says that it's out of power, and to wait 24 hours for it to recharge.
That was was two days ago. What do I do? Leave the game on for 24 hours?

>>21054
Darumakas are amazing. The first one I caught slaughtered my lv. 25 Panpour in one hit.

With fire punch.

>>21127
They have 90 base attack AND Hustle. Once evolved, they get 140 and Sheer Force.

Speaking of, what's this about SF getting Life Orb's boost without its drawback?

Man, Oran berries would be so much more useful if they, just, restored ten percent instead of ten hp.

>>21132
So Oran Berries would be better if they were Sitrus Berries?

>>21134
Significantly weaker Sitrus Berries, yes.

>>21136
Then what would the little cuppers nom?

May's theme was Victini Pose.

>>21134
Sitrus would be thirty percent.

>>21128
>Speaking of, what's this about SF getting Life Orb's boost without its drawback?
Sheer Force boosts attacking power by the same amount as a Life Orb, except you don't get hurt from Sheer Force.
It was speaking comparatively, not literally.

>>21147
Also, Sheer Force negates the recoil from Life Orb, but only on the moves to which Sheer Force's effect applies.

>>21148
I...really?
Holy dicks, brb adding a Darmanitan to every team I have.

>>21149
Feraligatr's movepool is almost as nice while offering slightly better defenses and typing, plus Dragon Dance.

>>21155

But you can't legally get it off Dream World yet, so yeah.

So has anyone else noticed that in the post game tv shows, it confirms that the story took place over a year.

I thought that was neat.
It also implies that in my game they had a year long winter.

I caved and bought Black. I am filled with remorse.

>>21181
If that's not sarcasm, don't be B/W are seriously the best games yet.

>>21183
Mostly I was waiting for that inevitable third version.

>>21184
Ah well that does make sense, but judging by how different Platinum felt from D/P it'd say it's safe enough to buy one of the early versions and the third one without feeling too ripped off in this case.

>>21195
Or maybe he's trying to fold them.

>>21196
In another sixteen years, he will successfully look like he just escaped the early 90's.

>>21682
>>21683
>>21684
I'm okay with all of this.

>>21692
But not this? >>21685

>>21693
Especially that one. Curse my laptop's touchpad for excluding it!

And then I downloaded a copy of Keeping In Top Forme to try and grab some better screenshots than the ones I got from Serebii.

Too busy watching Digimon.

>>21705
Why are the colours so sunbleached.

Pokédex 3D, featuring all of the new Pokémon from the recent Pokémon Black and White games, will allow users to look up information about more than 150 Pokémon and their moves, all for free. It will make use of SpotPass and Augmented Reality.

Players start with 16 Pokémon and can unlock the remaining Pokédex entries by scanning QR Codes, using SpotPass (up to three random Pokémon a day), or by trading data with friends, likely via StreetPass.

Users will be able to view each Pokémon in 3D, and rotate them a full 360 degrees. The Pokédex features filters and bookmarking capabilities as well.

The app will use the 3DS' built-in Augmented Reality capabilities to display Pokémon in pictures taken via the 3DS Camera.

Yes, it still counts as a legitimate Pokemon. Unless you used Pokesav to create it.

Even then, it's not hard to get a Pokesav monster past the hack detectors. What would've been easier though is to catch the Pokemon naturally and then alter it.

I'm getting the impression that the lost Rocket vs Plasma arc might just be re-worked into the current anime arc rather than where it was going to go.

>Nozomi
>Lame rival

Well fuck your shit.jpg

Did Haruka even have any other rivals but Shu and Harley? If she did, they were so uninteresting I forgot them

I loved Hikari's more, since she had more and they were more diverse and handled better

Nozomi - The first one she meets is the 'cool chick' she wants to be like and is inspired by. She always wants to impress her and she really inspires Hikari
Kengo - Hikari's childhood friend. They grew up together so there's an obvious desire to compete and show off to one another
Naoshi - A lesser rival, but unique in he does both Gyms and Contests
Ulala - Rich bitch, with awesome drill hair.
Musashi - I consider her a rival here than for Haruka because she actually won badges and grew as a character enough to make it to the Grand Festival. I think back in Advanced Generation she only won like.. 1 badge.. maybe 2.

Hikari's loss to Nozomi was awesome and really emotional, because it build upon their feeling of student/mentor and respect towards one another. Hikari finally being strong enough to challenge her. Where as with Haruka, some random Mary Sue just pops up and beats her. Though I guess it was more about her and Shu rather than Saori.

Also I'm totally not biased because I ship Hikari and Nozomi.

>>23092
You have pleased me.

>>23081
You mean Cynthia/Dawn.

Yes. Yes you do.

>>23116

That's game Dawn, silly.

You're silly.

>>23116
>>23118
why is this such a popular ship?

>>23119
It's one of those grand mysteries of the Pokemon fandom.

>>23119
>>23120
Cynthia is kind of creepy stalker mode in the games where Dawn is the protagonist.

It's adorable.

Big lady + little girl? Extra adorable.

Also, because lesbians.

>>23118
Game Hikari is different, yes.

In the anime, it's Hikari and Nozomi.

Best Wishes has Bel x Langley.

So Meowth is a spy.

No shit, Sherlock.

>>23139
Why else would he not want to be gotten?

Kuwabara, what are you doing in Pokemon? You are not a trainer.

>>23270
Kuwabara has Green eyes. That's not Kuwabara.

Ghetsis is named after his battle music?

>glance at smogon
>see gen V poke entries
>spend some hours reading them all

What's wrong with me, I don't even like competitive gaming.

OK I'm finally going to make my dream bug team. So far the only for sure Pokemon that'll be on there is Scizor because he's my bro. The rest of the team is up in the air. Any thoughts folks?

I have the feeling this will end in failure but IT WILL BE GLORIOUS

>>23442
Moxie Heracross with a Scarf is a machine of destruction built by the gods themselves.
Forretress is a pretty great entry hazarder.
Butterfree can actually be surprisingly useful with Compoundeyes and Sleep Powder.
Speaking of Compoundeyes, Galvantula with Thunder.
Volcarona is crazy good but pretty overused, dunno if that bothers you.
Personally, when I go monobug, I like including a male Combee, and using him with a Focus Sash and Endeavor. It doesn't really work that often/well, but I like making that one special absolutely-useless-otherwise Combee feel important.

WILL END YOU.

Durant is a surprisingly deadly little monster, with either a Band or Scarf to back him up, or just Life Orb and Hone Claws.

>Get a Level 1 Zorua from the GTS
>Decide to go through one fight with him to level him up a little
>Level 50 Audino
>Zorua gains 20 levels, almost 21

MOTHER OF GOD

Oh and on the bug team front I've decided on Scizor, Heracross, Galvantula, Volcarona, and maybe Yanmega so far. Still researching and what not.

>>23454
Did you have a Lucky Egg equipped?

Cause that makes it slightly more nuts.

>>23456

He didn't have anything equipped.

Oh yeah and he gained all those levels after sharing the XP with my Larvesta. Fucking nuts.

Well you did get it through the GTS.
A globally traded Pokemon gets even more boosted experience than a locally traded one.

http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=467
Although everyone was talking about it before he did the English version, there you have it.
Natural Harmonia Gropius
Apparently his music is all about primes or something.

I caught an episode of the anime during my downtime a few days ago. Apparently they're finally done parading Brock around. He was at his best before they started dragging him off by the ear mid-flirt; did he ever get to do his thing before they were finished with him?

>>23763

Not as long as this guy keeps following him around.

Granted, getting a Poison Jab in the butt is generally more entertaining than Johto's watered-down version of Misty or Max.

HAHAHA FINALLY BEAT THE E4 IN SOULSILVER

Took me 70 hours and 102 captured Pokemon. Now I can finally move on. :3 Already got the Marsh badge.

>>23763
It's a thing that was lost in translation. If you watch the JP version it makes more sense why people get mad by his flirting. In the original he'd flat out say stuff like "I'll enjoy her in 8 years" or "Are you 18 yet?" and other pervy stuff relating to the age of consent.

>>23763
>>23764
The worst thing is that half the time he wasn't even being particularly sexist or inappropriate, he was just flirting with a stranger. Maybe he was being more of a creeper in Japanese or something, but in English it just made whoever was dragging him off seem like a killjoy.

>Check up on Ruby version after a very, very long time
>Internal battery is dead, clock no longer works
That's bad.
>But my Pokémon are all infected with PokéRus
That's good!

>>23845
isn't there a bug in ruby/saphir that made the clock fail after a while with no more berry growth and such, and after something like a year it starts working again? it did happen to my copy at least.

>>23846
Yeah, there is a glitch like that.
There are lots of sources for the vaccine, though.
Even just linking up to Emerald will give it the antidote I think.

Wow it's fucking nothing.

>>24125
Well, at least it's not Mudkip.

>>24125
Will I be able to get this in the UK? Because that's pretty much my only chance of ever obtaining Arceus, since I missed the last event it was released in and it was never actually put in the game.

Would anyone happen to have Hale's Hard Mode Emerald page 14 and 16? The page is broken on his site and the Nuzlocke forum.

>>24205
14 and 21, sorry.

I finally got around to finishing Black Version main game (I was right before the Elite Four, and stopped because I got tired of level grinding).

Jesus, people weren't kidding about that Hydreigon. I only beat the thing by having my Gigalith with Sturdy use Stone Edge, max reviving it, and doing it again. How did everyone else get it?

>>24238
Swords Dance Haxorus.

>>24238

Samurott's Megahorn. OHKO.

>>24240
My Scolipede probably could have done the same, but he was already unconscious and I didn't want to risk him being slower.

>>24238
FEAR Archeops.

>>24238
I always pack my bag full of stat uppers. By that point, my Serperior was an untouchable wall of stats.

I got White Version for Christmas. Now I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner. I didn't think I'd love so many of the new species, but a ton of them have grown on me. The fact that TM's are now reusable already had me delighted, then when I found that Driftveil Drawbridge basically dispenses free stat-boosters, I was grinning like an idiot for a good three minutes.

Plus Bianca is pure HNNNNG, and makes me smile.

>>24339
I'm still holding out for Grey. They ARE making one, right? D:

>>24339
Bianca just makes me facepalm. She's just a walking catastrophe.

>>24341
That's the same reason I find her adorable.
And it occurs to me I should get caught up on the show.

>>24342
I like her because Hips That Don't Quit.

I just came to say Bianca was great and I want to see more of her in Gray.

And less of Cheren.

This is a problem me and Sigma are having.

Our copies of Black and White were registered to access Wifi through our old DS system. We're trying to get them to play nice with their new 3DS homes, how is this accomplished?

>>24347
I believe Nintendo's official policy is "fuck you, you're trying to cheat"

>>24347

You're trying to transfer your friend codes to your 3DS, right?

1. On your old DS, access the Wi-Fi menu. This can be done on old the DS/DS Lite by selecting a main menu option on most Wi-Fi games. On the DSi, the Wi-Fi menu can be found on the system's settings.
2. Go to options, and select "Transfer Nintendo WFC Configuration".
3. On your 3DS, select Download Play. When it boots, select "Nintendo DS". Finally select the program coming from your old DS.

>>24343
That part's nice too...

>>24345
I'd find both of those changes to be so very welcome.

>>24343
I swear, that woman wears a corset or something.

Finally got my shit back from our old house after six months.

I have no idea what to do with my White file. Like I have no idea where I am or where the story is or what my Pokemon are.

I only have two badges so I'm thinking of restarting it altogether.

>>24355

Why would you want a Dragonite when they've got awesome Altaria! You know. The one that ISN'T A FUCKING DRAGON.

>>24366
...Why are they all radioactive green?

>>24383
Because shinies. Though Swablu is yellow and Horsea is more of a turquoise.

>>24383
It's a very common shiny colour.
Especially for things that were blue.

>Scrafty
>with Rest
>and Shed Skin
u mad, everyone except Conkeldurr?

>>24459
Apparently yes, yes they are mad.
I'm getting more rageforfeits than I ever have before.

>>24463
Is this as bad or worse than Trolltales?

>>24465
Mm, less trolly, but more effective. It's less obnoxious, but more irritating, cause just when they think they've finally taken him out, he's at 10 HP, Leech Seeded, and Toxic'd, lol no, he Rests and wakes up on the same damn turn.

Not every time obviously, since it only has a 30% chance of working, but considering you only sleep for 2 turns anyway, and Scrafty is just so damn bulky, it works pretty well regardless.

Yes good

Arceus.

Arceus everywhere.

I heard someone mention that Pikachu's love of ketchup in the dub was changed from soy sauce in the original Japanese.

If it's true, this may be one of the rare times I like the dub changes better- I can't imagine anyone/thing walking around chugging soy sauce.

So..
ポケモンスマッシュ！
Nothing about any of the promotional material for this week's Smash says anything about Masuda (as opposed to every other time he's been on the show) and yet, Masuda says he's going to be on and he has BIG NEWS.

I wonder what's so exciting about this time? Time will tell!
