I liked this first issue a lot and any complaints have already been mentioned and can in one way or another be completely blamed on the fact that it is indeed the very first issue. Expanded Q&A, more art and better layout are all things I'm sure will be improving over time. My personal opinion...

Something that really has me excited is that we're most likely finally going to get some new official artwork by Ken Sugimori for all the 2nd gen sprites. His style of drawing has completely changed since the original GS work was done, and they really look off compared to the newer artwork.

Mars or April 2010 seems very likely. Most definitely not earlier, looking back at previous games.

I actually think Falkner will give you Roost, seeing as it's not over powered early on, and still a "rare" TM worthy of a Gym Leader. It doesn't have to be an attacking move just because it used to. Bulk Up or Focus Punch are possible choices for Chuck. X-Scissor, Attract, Shadow Claw, Iron...

This is great news! Getting one or the other for the logo bird isn't really a deal breaker, since I can't imagine how both wouldn't be in both games. If they removed one they would not only break the story, but also make either Whirl Islands or Burned Tower pointless in each game, since about...

I think this poll was rather easy, actually. Not because of a lack of good, or excellent pieces of art, but because one clearly stood out in terms of creativity, and at the same time truly feels like a Pokémon. That one is CyzizVisheens. It's a completely different design compared to all the...

Well, the Pokémon series and games from Nippon Ichi, like Disgaea, Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom are pretty much the only single player games I've spent really much time on, and I think I'd be able to come up with stuff to do in for anywhere even remotely near this amount of time. Roller...

Of course, my point was just that the task might not take as long to complete as one might think, hopefully they will have enough people to keep the games up and running all the time, while still giving them a bit of rest. Playing effectively for 72 hours straight is of course not possible. For...

The 24-hour limit on Pal Park could be a bit troublesome, but with just one Diamond and one Pearl you still get to transfer a maximum of 36 Pokémon during 72 hours, that should be enough, considering most can be caught in Diamond and Pearl anyway. This does cause some problems when it comes to...

I almost always go Accuracy over Power unless it's a very obvious case of a 2HKO vs a 3HKO for example, and simple because constantly and reliably damaging attacks usually seems to pay off more than all or nothing-style attacks in the long run. Something is better than nothing =)

When you've maxed it's EVs and everything like you say, there'll be no more benefit from training it any more, at least if you only plan to use it for Wi-Fi.

Thanks for the answers. I can't remember any other circumstances that could possibly have affected it, I just remember that it was really weird. It was probably just some random glitch or something.

Excellent warstory. You write in a sympathic way and always manages to keep it exciting and interesting to read until the very end. And your team of non-standards only makes things even more interesting. Your first story made me breed a BellyZard of my own and it has serves me very well so...

When I first heard about Steel I really thought it would be weak against Electric, they should short circuit or something. But this is a both stupid and interesting thread ;P

Two questions about accuracy: 1) Are all moves listed as 100% accuracy still actually 99.7%? The only time I can remember that I've ever seen a 100% move miss without any accuracy/evade modifiers was way back in Pokémon Stadium, where my little Pikachu screwed up when using Thunderbolt. 2)...
