  1. Pokemon you didn't give enough credit

    Those two Pokémon are in my team and I have to agree with this. Trace on Porygon2 is just awesome now that it gets Intimidate (vs Gyarados) and you can even switch into Lanturn now that Volt Absorb absorbs TWave. Along with Pory2 I've been very surprised with its Toxic. I only thought it'd be...
  2. Bologo warstory #2 - vs. Saturn - Fight to the bitter end

    Next time, invest some Attack EVs on Shuckle, that way you'll never lose to a 4% Tyranitar again. :) Jokes aside, I really enjoyed the battle. And I give a lot of merit to people who compete with non-standard teams, so props to you.
  3. Are IVs really worth the effort?

    I am, I simply prefer calling myself impatient. ^^ Now, seriously, I've got other things to do in my life. It's already very time consuming to do things like planting berries, which I actually do, so breeding is really a big no. You may not believe me, but I actually was a very patient and hard...
  4. Are IVs really worth the effort?

    I think there's a very viable option for people like the author of the post, who like me, is utterly impatient and hates having to go 1000 times through the same place. The answer is: catch good legendaries and trade them for good pokes. These good pokes can be traded for more good pokes. Get a...
  5. 1-0 (in every way) War Story

    I really enjoyed the warstory, it always feels nice to read something off the beaten track.
  6. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer mark 5

    put that code in and ommit the "-" after [img Basic HTML stuff My question: how do you soft reset? I always forget how to.
  7. Disabilities

    Props to you for what you've done but I myself wouldn't have gone into Pokémon games because you really must put an effort to it. Now, however, if I ever went blind I'd have somebody playing Netbattle or whatever for me, telling them what to do. :P They'd get fed up though. I do know other...
  8. good leads

    I was considering Hyper Beam on that odd CSpecs Slaking they're suggesting as a lead. Anyway, I also agree that Return > Giga Impact 90% of the time, but occassionally that 50 extra BP could come in handy. I myself don't use Giga Impact on Slaking because I prefer Slack Off in that 4th slot...
  9. good leads

    I know GigaImpact exists. But who else is going to use Hyper Beam?
  10. Sandstorm Teams: Concept and Development.

    I may be wrong but has anyone mentioned Clefable? It's unaffected by SS and is a great Pokémon to receive a burn or a poison. Don't know if it can act a good role in a SandStream team though.
  11. good leads

    And considering that Slaking, why not add Hyper Beam. Now that they screwed it to Special, I can't see any other way of using it rather than in that awkward Slaking.
  12. What is the best set for a Pokemon?

    I find this to be quite a drastical statement. Fully relying on surprise will quite sure lead you to loss, but the same could be said for fully relying on the standards. I've seen lots of RMTs composed of the most common Pokémon with the most common movesets asking why they didn't work as good...
  13. What is the best set for a Pokemon?

    I have to absolutely agree with this. As I'm not fully integrated into D/P I give an ADV example: For instance, we all know that Blissey is 99% of the cases far better than Miltank in TWaving and Seismic Tossing. It's been said in Smogon NOT to use Miltank as an inferior Blissey. HOWEVER...
  14. The "Awesomeness" of the Battle Tower and Why it can $uK my (#%(&!!!!

    Well I remember that in Advance, I had won 49 battles in a row, so it was one until the 50th win and thus earning a star in my card. The last battler had the three Regis, and after some turns, my Ludicolo was left against his Regirock, both being our last Pokémon and at full health. "Only a...
