  1. VGC 2011 rules up!

    Yeah but not all of us know Japanese or want to play BW with a dictionary and/or blindly. ;_;
  2. VGC 2011 rules up!

    I walked into a GameStop the other day and looked through the game book. It said that BW would be released n April (can't remember whether it's at the beginning or the end)...and last year (or should I say the 2010) qualifier rounds occurred in May and June. I guess you better plan your team...
  3. DP Research Thread #6 (Even newer)

    Just learned something today, rather randomly. I was in Trainer House with a Giratina-O against a Espeon. Giratina used Shadow Force, Espeon used Future Sight. Three turns later, I got the "Giratina took the Future Sight attack!" but then the message "But it failed!" This suggests that if...
  4. Deoxys-D

    Base 90 is actually one of the slowest Pokemon in the uber tier. In Gen IV the only Pokemon slower than that are Wobbuffet and Wynaut.
  5. Prop 8: Great riddance, or GREATEST riddance?

    IIRC, a marriage license is good in all states. Civil unions are only good in the state that granted the license, with at least one exception - New York accepts other state's civil unions but doesn't actually do civil unions themselves. The recently-struck-down Defense of Marriage Act stated...
  6. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    lol I wasn't going to post in this thread but I've been following this thread and this has been argued in circles somewhere back on the 45 pages. The basic argument is Mamo and Weavile aren't very high in usage (check the usage stats) and they cannot take a hit, so they have to revenge kill it...
  7. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    They did have a Ghost-type gym. In Johto. With all Gastly and Haunter. I realize that a Isshu Ghost-type gym would be better, as RSE and DPP came out with some btter Ghost-types, but still, I facepalmed so hard and thought, "Poor Misdreavus, they've forgotten all about you."
  8. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    Really? On Winner's Path you can get a Boomlax (otherwise you'd need to use the move tutor in XD) and the chance to pick up Choice Scarf, Specs, and Band without having to pay the absurd rate of 48BP at the Frontier. Granted, it takes 8,000 steps to even have a shot at getting the Scarf, but...
  9. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    Ehhh. Team Rocket was cool back when I played FR/LG, but just seems utterly ridiculous now in HG/SS (which I admit could be because Team Rocket was rebuilding). Their sneers and quips are extremely stupid and predictable (meddlesome, little kid). I'm constantly tired of battling Ratatta...
  10. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    You should listen to some Johnny Cash.
  11. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    New Move: Ring of Fire, burns opponents on switch-in. Plays a sound bite from Johnny Cash every time it's used.
  12. Information leakage in Pokémon battles

    The only time I've really noticed this is for Pokemon with colossal HP (in the Battle Tower), like when i hit Chansey or Blissey with a SE move and it takes forever for the HP bar to fall.
  13. Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

    A quick q on the Smogon RNG guide - is it only in the Distortion World where doing the coin flips will advance the RNG? It says that the RNG would have advanced 22 times after the original load of 11 frames plus one more for Giratina, so 10 frames = ten coin flips. I read the Smogon guide...
  14. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    That's what happened in Colosseum. Es Cade the mayor was the real villain of the game.
  15. Challenge The Scramble Challange

    Remember, Texas is doing this in Emerald, so Thunderpunch is still special (though for my first Pal Park I did teach my Breloom the move). lol at 60 special attack. i guess you could use Stun Spore too...and Mega Kick/Punch (how are those NOT fighting moves...?) and Double Edge through tutoring...
