I like the new legendary pokemon personally, but don't they look a bit like Palkia? Zekrom definitely seems to have a strong resemblance to it. And don't like how it seems likely that Reshiram will get stuck with Psychic as one of its types. We have enough psychic-type legendaries already...

It also has more RAM, better online capabilities, and a faster processor. Its as much a new generation of handhelds as the gameboy color was, and keep in mind Gold and Silver were actually compatible with the old gameboys. Crystal was the only GBC-exclusive game in that generation, and...

I'm figuring 5th gen would come out fall 2010 in Japan since new generations come out every 3 to 4 years roughly. Diamond came out September 2006, so 2010 seems likely for a Japanese release. We'll probably start getting pokemon leaks soon, and this notched-ear Pichu could even have something to...

Competitive pokemon players are the minority, and not the target audience. That 'noob' being 'pwned' by the second gym leader? THAT is who they target. A balanced metagame metagame is near the bottom of their list, just under "cool new ideas that don't care about balance" Anything they do try to...

Agreeing 100% with this. In fact, a pokebeach interview with some guy a while back basically confirmed it. Each new generation is designed with the intent of getting a new generation of kids hooked, which is why the series and the anime will never stop. Ash will forever remain 10, never...

I'm pretty sure it already works like that. You can test it with a Smeargle knowing Conversion and Roost and then throw some different type attacks at it, particularly fighting and ghost.

Dual typed attacks is definitely FAR more trouble than its worth. For one thing, what decides whether or not an attack gets dual typed? Its fine and all to say Muddy Water should be Water/Ground, but WHY should it be ground at all? What does the mud, mixed in with the water, actually add to it...

They'll probably think of something to fine tune, unless they think the battle system is perfect as is. Personally I'd like to see 'partial immunity' for physical attacks. Basically, if you for example used Volt Tackle on a Jolteon it would do half damage and be a normal type attack instead...

The first generation was by FAR the darkest generation. Even with them being toned down in the remakes you can still see this. The Kanto region was absolutely crawling with criminal activities prior to G/S/C. Gamblers, Team Rocket, random thieves, biker gangs, and the only games to feature an...

According to a post over on Gamefaqs, someone has managed to get ahold of CoroCoro early and there was some info about the movie, including the mystery pokemon. They have said that the new pokemon is Raisoro, an electric/ground ram pokemon that can absorb electricity through its horns. The movie...

I'd love to know how its Bullet Punching me when its stuck using Earthquake. Or does Choice Band let people switch attacks now?

I think thats a tricky question, personally, depending on how you want to define 'worth it'. Competitively, they won't be worth it very often. There are exceptions, of course. da gold sun mentioned CB Heatran. A while back I actually used something of the sort in the form of a 'mixed' set. Ran...

@ Metagross Magnezone @ Focus Sash 252 spd, 252 s.atk, 6 hp Modest nature - Magnet Rise - Thunderbolt - HP Fire - Flash Cannon Focus Sash ensures it survives the Earthquake, speed EV's ensure its faster so it can Magnet Rise before Earthquake #2. Resists Explosion, sash activates at worse...

@ Blastoise Celebi @ Leftovers 252 hp, 128 def, 128 s.def Nature: Calm - Leech Seed - Substitute - Psychic - Recover Can take an Ice Beam from Blastoise easily. Seeds, subs, and generally makes Blastoise an unhappy camper until the last of its hp is drained away.

Heatran switches in on Ice Shard: Check. Heatran switches in on Ice Fang: Check Heatran switches in on Stone Edge: Check Heatran switches in on Earthquake: Not Check Since one of Mamoswine's attacks are not a safe switch in for it, and its definitely not surviving the Earthquake period, its...
