Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 2 (In-Game Discussion)

Yay for Scizor with Bullet Punch! We don't have to rely on crappy quick attack. STAB + Technician sounds great :D
I just have to transfer mine to Platinum and go to the heart scale tutor.
 
kono sekai ni ha poketto monsuta-, chijimete [pokemon] to yobareru fushigi na ikimono ga itaru tokoro ni sundeiru!

In this world living things called pocket monsters or "pokemon" for short are living here!

Ware ware ningen ha pokemon to nakayoku kurashiteiru.

We humans are living together in companionship with pokemon.

Isshoni asondari, chikara wo awasete shogoto wo shitari,

Plaing together, matching our efforts to work together,

Soshite pokemon doushi wo tatakawase kizuna wo fukameteittari

And by battling pokemon deepening our bonds together

de Watashi ha sonna pokemontachi no koto wo kuwashiku shitaru tame ni Kenkyuushite oru noda!

There, for the sake of understanding pokemon in detail, I am in the midst of research!



ok, I'll stop with the idiot translations you guys could all have figured out yourself. lol
 
I notice that, at least early on, wild pokemon rosters are much the same as in DP. Loads of Bidoof, Starly (as expected), but also, nothing particularly out-of-place. A bit dull.

Heh, this is going to be pretty cool.

Life Orb 252 Attack Adamant Technician Scizor after Swords Dance using Bullet Punch on 0 HP / 0 Def Neutral Gengar:

Damage: 136.02% - 160.15%

On 0 HP / 0 Def Azelf:

Damage: 108.25% - 127.49%

Note: Metalkid's Calculator does not take Technician into account so I raised the Attack stage by one to make up for it.
 
holy crap, Curse Bibarel, straight to OU please.
And Caterpie gets a... 3rd move... whoa.

Darkrai gets Nasty Plot... WTF, just... WTF. Shaymin Sky Forme will be kicked to Uber faster than Captain Falcon with THAT Seed Flare.

Scizor getting Bullet Punch is welcoming.

Are these all level-ups?
 
Chou, you should provide a full-on translation guide/walkthrough for everyone. That would make this experience way more enjoyable.
 
Swords Dance Life Orb Technician Scizor's Bullet Punch to 252 HP/6 Def Adamant Tyranitar:

788 Atk vs 257 Def & 404 HP (60 Base Power): 512 - 606 (126.73% - 150.00%)

This thing is great
 
Scizor is OU =/

http://ownpurpose.com/damage_calculator_test.php

Against 0/0 Neutral Gengar:

359 Atk vs 140 Def & 261 HP (60 base power): 166 - 196 (63.6% - 75.1%)

That's without a +nature, a lifeorb or an SD

359 Atk vs 158 Def & 291 HP (60 base power): 147 - 174 (50.52% - 59.79%)

same as above



;D
 
Lol it seems like it could be difficult not being able to read...I have a female piplup I wish I knew its nature ?_? (looks like it's careful)
 
holy crap, Curse Bibarel, straight to OU please.
And Caterpie gets a... 3rd move... whoa.

Darkrai gets Nasty Plot... WTF, just... WTF. Shaymin Sky Forme will be kicked to Uber faster than Captain Falcon with THAT Seed Flare.

Scizor getting Bullet Punch is welcoming.

Are these all level-ups?

Yup, all level-ups of some form.

We get a new fast Eruption user in Entei.

Good catch. Raikou and Suicune simply get TM moves they could already learn...

If I find anything more, I'll update in my latest post.

Victreebel and Bellossom get Leaf Blade!
Add Pineco, Wurmple, and Skorupi lines to the new Bug Biters

using metalkid's damage calculator, STAB+ technician+life orb bullet punch does 81.99% - 96.55% to Gengar! OHKO with stealth rock... :(
 
I don't think Shaymin will be made uber. I can theorymon plenty of ways to beat it (Timid ScarfTran (which I use anyway) will always beat it and only have to be wary of ScarfMin's HP Grounds, Calm Zapdos can take Seed Flare, Air Slash, and HP Ground easily and PP stall with Substitute / Roost or just use HP Ice, Sassy Bronzong can take all three and Gyro Ball / Explode, Jirachi / Empoleon can pump themselves with Special Defense EVs (to survive the HP Ground) and OHKO this Shaymin with Ice Punch / Ice Beam, Pokemon with Ice Shard suddenly regain their significance, Pokemon like Aerodactyl / Jolteon become interesting since they outspeed and can hit with powerful Ice Fangs or Hidden Power Ices), but I "guess we'll see."

I am certainly excited to use it, however. Fuck those SubSeed sets that everyone and his mother is gooing their pants over...

I'm totally using Seed Flare, Air Slash, Hidden Power Ground, Whatever on a Choice Scarf / Choice Specs set (probably Scarf since I hate using Band / Specs and having to "predict").
 
Cursing Steelix could be useful in UU.

Also, Probopass has STAB Power Gem, which means Power Gem could theoretically see some use now. Yay for special rock type moves.
