  1. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    On the topic of Illusion, how would Zoroark function in double battles? For example, let's say one has a team as follows: Venasaur/Zoroark/Kyogre/Pichu. Would Zoroark "transform" into Kyogre or Venasaur?
  2. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    Yeah, I have always wanted a shared pre-evolution for the PokeCows. I mean, how are Tauros (Tauroses or Taurii?) supposed to reproduce anyway? Don't tell me that Dittos are Female Tauros in disguise. However, I do agree that the distinction of the two being "counter-parts" is fan-made; still, it...
  3. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    On the topic of Light Ball, I would personally like to see Raichu utilize the item. However, is it possible to "nerf" the effects of the item for Raichu specifically? (From doubling both stats to perhaps a Life Orb Boost without the recoil). Items in the past have been capable of having...
  4. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    On the topic of HM's, what does everyone think about turning Rock Climb into a Rock move? I always thought that the move shouldn't be a Normal-type move.
  5. US Regional Qualifier - Dallas, TX, May 29, 2010 - WON BY JGILES

    Good to see that there will actually be people at this event. Responding to Werecario from the first page, I guess I really should go for the fun. The AP tests are over, and high school final exams are manageable; that's it, I am going. Finishing that team is another question... Also, I can...
  6. US Regional Qualifier - Dallas, TX, May 29, 2010 - WON BY JGILES

    As I stated previously, I have an open spot on my schedule for this, and I will probably find an excuse to attend, regardless of a good team or not. There's only one problem: I'm busy on the first day of the actual tournament (on that Saturday in June). Should I still go to the Regional...
  7. Pokemon VGC 2010 DATES / rules announced for the US!

    Well, well. The Dallas tournament is pretty nearby, it's during Memorial Day weekend, and it happens to be the weekend before final exams. Hmm, sign me up for Dallas. *Thankfully, I don't have exams for the first half of the week. * Now, to actually perfect my team and my double-battlin'...
  8. Pokemon VGC 2010 DATES / rules announced for the US!

    Thank you so much for the response. I'll make sure to do my research on Kyogre (I knew that would be major threat to my team). If you don't mind, may you point me in the direction of particular threads on Kyogre? Again, thank you.

    VGC 2010 Team: Please Help I received great comments for the team I posted previously in this thread. Perhaps outlining the specifics can help my team more... (NOTE: These are from the exact Pokemon I plan to use) Ho-Oh @ Light Clay --Brave Bird --Sacred Fire --Light Screen --Earthquake EV...
  10. Pokemon VGC 2010 DATES / rules announced for the US!

    Does a team consisting of Groudon, Ho-Oh, Zapdos, and Weavile sound viable at all? If so, how exactly? If not, what am I missing? Does anyone have any suggestions for what moves to run?
  11. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 22 (READ THE OP)

    Yesterday, I received the Draco Meteor Jirachi and I want to actually soft-reset this thing correctly. I read the RNG Manipulation Guide, and I think I have a good feel of what I gotta do. Does anybody have any suggestions for movesets and IV sets utilizing Draco Meteor? Also, if you know of an...
  12. How do you play Pokemon in-game?

    Generally, I play the game as is the first time. For example, I played this way with my Sapphire, FireRed, and Pearl Versions. Once a new release of the game come out (Emerald/Platinum) I spend the months prior to having the game to plan out which Pokemon I want to use. In my Emerald Version...
  13. Can't seem to find the new HG/SS moves on shoddy?

    I Can't Find a Particular Move! Alright, this probably doesn't matter way too much to many, but when I was looking at Cherrim's moveset, I cannot find the new move it gained from HG/SS, Weather Ball. How does one fix this? I'm sure this was just a small programming misstep, and if it's too...
  14. HeartGold and SoulSilver: The Brand-New Breeding System!

    Good, I'm glad this topic was actually brought up. This new system kind of goes nicely with all of the new egg moves HG/SS offers. As Blasphemy1 said, this is going to be helpful for the semi-competive battlers here. Well, I guess I'll have to wait a few more months.
  15. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Woah. A 1001 streak? No freakin' way. Congratulations. The farthest I have ever made it through the Battle Tower was 28 battles. That is just the beast-of-the beast, no doubt. Words cannot describe that achievement with all of that patience. Once again, congratulations.

    RNG: Where to Start? Hi everybody on Smogon! As you can tell by my pathetic post count, I guess I would count as being a bit of a newbie around here. Anyway, I have recently become highly interested with RNG-abusing. I have already discovered my Pearl version's Secret ID and downloaded the...
  17. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 18 (READ THE OP)

    So Veedrock, then would it be a good idea for Cherrim to know Seed Bomb? It can learn the move in Platinum, and I was kind of banking on Smogon to be correct, anyway. Just wanted to ask a pro (or someone equally inteligent).

    Thank you. Let's hope that more people can answer this puzzling perdicament.
  19. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 18 (READ THE OP)

    Flower Gift and its power-ups I know, I know, this site has a little tidbit about the ability, but, after trying to verify the answer, I got really confused. Anyway, my question to the wise minds of Smogon is: Does Flower Gift, Cherrim's exclusive ability, power up the Attack and Special...
  20. Pokemon VGC Tournament Team

    Yo, just a new guy that has been lurking in the forums for a while. Hi. Anyway, I am really nervous about entering. I have a team, and about 2/3 of the team is complete. I know that the guys on these forums are generally great at rating teams, so please, give me some adivice. So, at a glance...
