Using Snivy in BW2... It might be the worst Starter to use in an ingame run. Offensive stats below 80 meaning you don't do much damage. It is a bulky Grass-type so you take Super Effective Damage from everything. It is a Grass-type so it deals half damage to almost everything. Coverage does not...

---> I don't know if I would say it is changed a lot for its performance but Togepi got a few new things that make it appealing. For one, the Donphan in the room, it can finally evolve. The bad news is, the evolution is post-game exclusive which is still vast enough to count as in-game...

I think the reason for that is also how these Pokemon can stand on their own. Both came to existence unrelated to each other with Ho-oh being created as the Pokemon advertising Generation 2 and generally representing the mystery of Pokemon according to the first Episode of Pokemon where you...

Seeing how Volt-Ikazuki's focused on type balancing by how Game Freak tried nerving Psychic types, I want to look from the other perspective that always intruiged me by looking how much the Fire-type improved over the years from becoming a joke of a time in RBY to almost a must have type on any...

So I finished my Pokemon SoulSilver run and tried out Pokemon I didn't try in these games. Here are results of those I did not expect much but did exceed my expectation: Generally I did not want to use Entei but after being stuck on the Kimono girls I felt like I needed something that can take...

Ingame playthroughts in gens 3 onwards really became a hard pill for me to swallow due to Natures because catching a Pokemon and seeing it has a certain nature can really affect my desire if I want to use it or not. It is often an inconvenients. But what is worse for me is using Nidoran line in...

---> I don't know how people feel about Blaziken in RSE but I think in the right hands it is a fantastic Pokemon thanks to the addition of its secondary Fighting Typing. Torchic-line did struggle but generally it did learn powerful moves for the time and being able to hit hard from both sides...

On the topic of starters, I would also put my viewpoint regarding them (on those whom I didn't talk about to far like Chikorita, Bulbasaur and Charmander). ---> Generally moveset wise I don't think Totodile got better nor worse. Special Ice Punch replaced by physical Ice Fang and I think you...

In my current SoulSilver Playthrough I am kinda stuck in how to beat the Kimono girls which is kinda embarrassing. I honestly don't want to try revive strategies for now and wanna see where I can go. For now I will post the team as it is to show what I am working right now. Lv: 42 Name: Croccy...

As a child I used Teams based on the characters of the show like replicating Ash's Team in Yellow or making a Team Rocket themed team.

I just encountered Raikou in SoulSilver and somehow outspeed it with Stantler and put it to sleep. It ran away... That didn't happen in Crystal...

This is something I figured when I discovered that you can trade Pokemon Colosseum Pokemon after beating the game any time to Ruby or Saphire. So around Gym 6, I traded a few Pokemon from Colosseum like Raikou to Sapphire and it was very satisfying to use Thunder. I don't know if I used Raikou...

Iris' Haxorus can literally ruin your chances of winning after 1 Dragon Dance. With that Focus Sash, she is guaranteed to survive. This might be one of the hardest Elite 4 Battles and I think it is very memorable. Especially in Challenge Mode during rematch. Definitively worthy being called a...

I am doing a Pokemon SoulSilver run. I have Croconaw, Paras and Mareep on my team. I would generally perfer to use lesser used Pokemon that are realistic to use for an ingame run and don't need massive amount of investment like Dratini.

Pokemon Stadium 2 Reasons: - amazing animations - lots of great challanges and access to an admittedly with a poor moveset, yet, still large amount of rental Pokemon to choose from - great announcer - able to use your GBC Pokemon games on the big screen and use them for an equally strong set of...
