I think i prefer the idea of battling over finding, plus you can get money, albet not a lot, in black city
I think he means that you can just GTS it afterwards.lol. What do you mean? If N has Zoroark you can't catch it and then breed for a Zorua. You see Zorua by talking to the kid in the GameFreak building in Castelia vity, by hearing the story.
Just a question, but what do you mean by this? Yellow had its very own monkey made for the sole purpose of beating the first gym: Mankey was relocated to Routes 3, 4, and 22 for the sole purpose of having something that can beat Brock without overleveling.The monkeys are there to fix the tragedy that was yellow's first gym.
Route 4 isn't available at that time. But it was moved to 3 and 22. Even still you wouldn't naturally know about it without outside information. As the chances of encountering the monkey are pretty low.Just a question, but what do you mean by this?

Drake had a Garchomp?I don't get the big Lvl 77 Champions movesets. You'd think by now, Nintendo would know they have experienced customers, and try to add a little challenge at the end. I would love to see 6 lvl~95 mons with perfect IVs, EV trained and with competitive movesets. Like a Nasty Plot Luke, SD Chomp, Coil Eelektross, QuiverDance but NOT Overheat Volcarona, etc....
Instead we get non-EV trained mons with random moves (seriously, give Garchomp a real dragon move.....at least Drake knew he learn Outrage)
He meant Lance.Drake had a Garchomp?
Really? I always destroy his team with my Mamoswine. Ice Shard for the OHKO on Dragon/Flying ones, Rock Slide for Zard/Dos. As a matter of fact, Maman (my mamoswine) sweeps the entire Elite Four/Red...He meant Lance.
On an unrelated note that Chomp was an absolute pain to beat. I had to have my Shedinja stall it and pray that it smacked itself in confusion thanks to LOL +6 ATTACK. Thankfully though, Lance was retarded enough to have his remaining mons(Altaria and prolly Dragonite) not have moves that hit Sheddy.
Breloom: He had PsychicHow did you get past Breloom-Sawk?
I was gonna say BUT COUNTER, then I realised that Volcarona was special. >_>Sawk: Almost certainly Stone Miss.
Palpitoad vs. Elesa's Emolga x2Breloom: He had Psychic
Sawk: Almost certainly Stone Miss.
Meh, IMO, the hardest fights in the game are Elesa [You can't hit her Emolgas with a Super Effective STAB, as the two Rock types at this point both get destroyed by Volt Switch, Sturdy lets you get one hit in though], and, N, only if you play like a man and ignore the Uber thrown in your face. [Otherwise, it's Gehetis]
Seriously, I had little trouble with Gehetis. That said, I had a Samuwott and Revenge'd Hydregion's face in.
That said... I swept N by Acupressureing almost everything to +6 on a Maractus [Stupid Sp.Attk took forever to get...], in the face of his Carracosta. Water Absorb made half it's movepool useless, and my Maracrus was Bold with a 31 Defense IV...
Also, I'm of the opinion that the B/W starters are even worse than the Jhoto ones. Serperior is replaced by Petilil after the 2nd Gym [Petilil outclasses Snivy since the moment you get it... then Quiver Dance Lilligant kills everything]. Darumakka is a million times better than Emboar, and Samuwott just fails, but is useable purely because of the lack of B/W water types.
B/W is the only game where I replace my starter. Even in Jhoto I don't. If only because Jhoto is so underleveled and is so annoying to grind in, and half of the Jhoto dex is trash anyway. [Some of it's awesome, like Tyranitar...]
An NPC gives you the Sun Stone in Nimbasa, and you shouldn't be using Grass Pokemon against the third Gym anyway unless you like being roflstomped.Serperior is still better than most other Grass-types you can get, especially Lilligant. See, Petilil requires an Evolutionary Stone that isn't directly handed to you before your third Gym Badge and then will need a Heart Scale if you level it beyond Lv28. And for what? A Pokemon with less overall stats than the Starter and less coverage. Despite Snivy's Coil coming a little later, it's at the same level it evolves into the final stage (Lv36 on Servine) and is just as helpful given the role Serperior will play (Defensive and supportive). During my Snivy run, I was very close to replacing the sucker but I stuck with him and it paid off.
Sorry, I didn't elaborate on those ideas. I was attempting to say that Lilligant isn't worth waiting so long to get the Stone, while also attempting to say that the Monkeys are worth using the Stones because you get them earlier (before your third Gym). See, I was using the third Gym Badge as a unit of measurment, not saying you'd use the Pokemon in the Gym. Sorry, it came out all wrong lol.An NPC gives you the Sun Stone in Nimbasa, and you shouldn't be using Grass Pokemon against the third Gym anyway unless you like being roflstomped.
