Pokemon Diamond & Pearl

[Captain_Death]

Soo...Am I the only one looking forward to these games?

[Speedball]

I think so.
This is the first time i've even heard of them.
Why are they still making Pokemon games?

[Captain_Death]

'cause they want money. these games are for the DS

[Master Chief]

Red/Blue/Yellow are the only games that exist to me. F**k them for f**king their own franchise with adding new Pokemon and characters.

[Extromaniac]

Red/Blue/Yellow are the only games that exist to me. F**k them for f**king their own franchise with adding new Pokemon and characters.

Yeah, Red and Blue were the only Pokemon games that I played on a regular basis as a young lad.

Now, I find Pokemon to be a game/show even too lame for 8 year olds.

[Socrates]

Red/Blue/Yellow games = Very enjoyable, I loved being able to kick ass with Mew. :(

I actually have FireRed and it's basically an updated version of the originals with new Pokemon. F**kin' jeez.

[DareDemon]

Pokemon is a pretty sweet game. I don't like the show, the games are pretty fun. I'm gonna get Diamond eventually. Or maybe I'll just wait for the inevitable third one.

[jaydawg]

All the games are good, but I have to agree that Red and Blue was the pinnacle of the series. To me, those were the best pokemon. After Gold and Silver, it felt like they just stopped caring.

[WhatsHisFace]

Pokemon?

You've got to be kidding.

Anyone looking forward to Barbie Horse Adventures 2?

[Indiglo]

If it has unicorns.

[XwolverineX]

I hate teh new pokemons. They ruined the franchise. :o

[Axid]

FireRed is forever

[Extromaniac]

Pokemon?

You've got to be kidding.

Anyone looking forward to Barbie Horse Adventures 2?

Hey, don't make fun of Barbie.

She's the only hero of mine that has always stayed true to herself. :(

..Wait, what, she dumped Ken?! NOOOOOO!!!! :mad:

:p

[Spidey-Bat]

I may get it if my friend will since we both were both got into FireRed and LeafGreen. I'm interested in how it'll incorporate the DS.

Red and Blue are definately the best. All of those pokemon seem classic. After Silver and Gold it just got kinda dumb and meaningless with all the new pokemon. In R/B, I can name pretty much every pokemon. After those games there are too many to care about.

[Mr. Vice]

Any word on when Diamond and Pearl is dropping in the US?

[Trigger]

Japan gets it Sept. 28, so we'll be seeing it around December or January.

[Brainiac 8]

Oh well, I'm looking forward to them. Alot of the things they dropped after G/S that made the series good are now being added back into P/D.:O

[CrypticOne]

I think so.
This is the first time i've even heard of them.
Why are they still making Pokemon games?

Yeah, why are they still making Pokemon games. The only ones I played were Yellow, Red, and Blue. That was a long time ago.

[Darkdd]

Lets make this into a serious thread:
*The new region is called Shinou.It appears to be much larger than previous regions and is said to have a large under ground world.
*Day and Night are comeing back,but with a more detailed system including:morning,noon,evenining,night and dawn.
*You can trade over your 3rd gen pokes
*Nintendo Wi-Fi will be utilised to allow online battles,chat,TRADE etc. with anyone the world.
*The battle mechanics in the game have changed from attacks being demmed physical or special based on type,to being determined on an individual basis,based around,but not limited to contact,eg.Thunder Punch is now Physical and Hyper beam is now Special.
*The Starters MAY change to Dark/Psychic/Fighting.
*The pokemons sprites vary between gender,eg.Male Wooper's antennae are bigger than female Wooper's,female Scizors Abdomen is bigger than the males,Butterfree's wing colorations vary between gender,etc.
*There will be no new types,but many new type combo's.
*Their have been 17 new pokemon released.More on them when i feel like typing more.

[Spidey-Bat]

Japan gets it Sept. 28, so we'll be seeing it around December or January.

That's really late. I'd say late-October to mid-December. They'll definately want one of the biggest franchises out in time for the holidays.

[Trigger]

Well I was just making a guess. I figured the amount of localization would push it back a bit.

[Spidey-Bat]

I noticed on Wikipedia that the male and female pokemon will have slight alterations to their physical appearences. They showed the female Scizor having a larger abdomen (bottom) than the male.

[Darkdd]

^Thats right.

[Extromaniac]

I lost interest long ago. :(

[Darkdd]

^I only recently regained interest recently by picking up my brother's Sapphire,and having nothing to do,i got hooked and decided to buy Emerald.

[Captain_Death]

That's really late. I'd say late-October to mid-December. They'll definately want one of the biggest franchises out in time for the holidays.

Yeah. These games better be out this year in the US.

Those protagonists suck. They have such dumb hats. The ones in R/S/E and FR/LG were much better.

[SouLeSS]

Bring Ash and Gary back please.

[Darkdd]

This is a link showing pictures of your second rival,and the evil Team Galaxy,that tie in to the space/time theme of the games.

[Spidey-Bat]

The rival looks like a fruit and the enemy team looks like those creepy kids from that horror movie (I can't think of the name, but they were parodied on the Simpsons).

[Darkdd]

The attack system will be cotrolled via touch screen,as will the items during battle,thouugh in a different way from R/S/E.

[DareDemon]

Is it just me or do the main characters look French?

[Future Prez]

I don't have a lot of interest in these games anymore, but just enough to waste my time reading threads like this. I must agree with everyone, though. Red and Blue were by far the best, with Gold and Silver not far behind. But they ruined the rest of the series by over populating the world with new species. 250 was a fair number to keep one occupied for a while.

[GoldenAgeHero]

anyone getting pokemon stadium?

[Trigger]

Children of the Corn?

[Brainiac 8]

I don't mind the new pokemon over a period of time. I think this new game should cap out the amount of Pokemon at about 500. Some of my favorites didn't show up until Ruby/Saphire, so I'm glad they kept making more.:) :up:

[Trigger]

I miss the Johto pokemon. They pretty much disappeared from the series after Gold/Sliver.

[Brainiac 8]

I miss the Johto pokemon. They pretty much disappeared from the series after Gold/Sliver.

You had to get most of them from Collosium, and some of them showed up in Firred and Leafgreen.

That irked me too.

My favorites from the R/S era were:

http://www.asmodee.com/dl/aggron.jpg Aggron

and

http://www.asmodee.com/dl/sharpedo.jpg Sharpedo

:up: :up: Both great, even though the defense of Sharpedos not good, his attack is great.

[ZachToTheFuture]

i got pissed at ****ing pokemon because the whole damn catch phrase was "got to catch them all" only to find out that you cant catch them all.

[Trigger]

Sure you can. It just takes a s***load of work.

[Spidey-Bat]

Children of the Corn?

No. They were english and had glowing eyes.

[Trigger]

Village of the Damned?

[Spidey-Bat]

That's the one.

i was looking forward to the game but one i heard about all of theese people it just looks dumb. just look at them. they look ridiculous. they all just look retarded.

if they were to make another uptaded version of yellow blue or red for the ds, then would get it.

[Spidey-Bat]

To be fair, all pokemon look pretty retarded.

Why would they update R/B/Y for the DS when they already did for the GBA?

[Telekinetic]

i said "if they were".

well they could remake them for the ds with more adjustments to make the game better or give the pokemon the new fighting abilities this game will offer.

[Spidey-Bat]

They aren't going to since they just did for the GBA. They should remake Silver and Gold as something like Platinum and Bronze. Have that Reigon (Johto was it?) and the Orange Islands (which have never been in a game). G/S/C have been shafted the most. The only way to get Ho-Oh and Lugia (2 of the coolest legendaries) is on Coliseum and XD, both of which aren't great, especially with all the Shadow crap.

[Telekinetic]

i agree.

[Master Chief]

I like the look, but would definitely prefer another original remake like this. !!!!!

[Trigger]

Um, by definition, I don't think any remake is original.

[Master Chief]

Shhh, I have problems wording things when I wake up with killer headaches. As long as you understood my intentions with the post, shhhh.

[Trigger]

Okie-dokie

[U.S War Machine]

Yellow version was the best

[VaderRISE]

I honestly got out of Pokemon WAAAAAY back after Blue, it being the only Pokemon game I ever had. LOVED the game though, hated the show but the gameplay was so addictive and fun.

After much thought I think I'll be picking up Pearl. Pokemon is thoughtof as "uncool" by the older crowed these days...but I'm honestly out to impress no one. I hope Pearl turns out as fun as the originals.

They also need a sequel to Pokemon Snap. That was a surprisingly entertaining game.

[Telekinetic]

Yellow version was the best

i liked that one the best just cause pikachu followed you everywhere and sommetimes died on the way:)

I had Blue and loved it. I had 99 pokemon and only needed Kabuto and Kabutops to have all 101. Unfortuantely my game crashed:(

I'm probably gonna get Pearl or Diamond as well. I also don't care about what people think. I want more in a game than beating up hookers and stealing cars. I hope you can trade and battle online since it'll be SO much easier to get pokemon you're missing.

Snap was really good. It was like a bizarro communism, the idea isn't great on paper but was executed so well.

they ran out of colors......now there using textures as the title

up next:
pokemon:milk
pokemon:lime
pokemon:bubblegum
pokemon: oprah:eek:
They only did colors for the first 5. Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl are all precious stones.

Has anyone noticed Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were the 3 Sacred Stones in Ocarina of Time?

[iceberg325]

Imo pokemon (well the original ones followed by silver and gold) are some of the best rpgs ever. I mean you can level so many characters. I think too many people are turned off by the popularity of it and because sooo many kids love it. I actually liked the game before it got uber popluar. I remember getting red the day of its release. Some of my friends saw me with it, and were like eth!!!!! Why are you playing that. Some months pass the game got huge, as did the cartoon, I went to the same friends house, and they were all playing it lol. I passed on the later ones, but am looking foward to the new one. When does it come out in the us???

[Spidey-Bat]

No date has been released so far. It's coming out in Sept in Japan. I'm guessing it'll be out for the holidays in the US.

[Trigger]

I hope they bundle it with one of those smexy DS lites.

[Spidey-Bat]

I wouldn't be suprised if they made an off-white Lite for Pearl and royal blue for Diamond.

[Telekinetic]

is anyone gonna get Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team?
http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/180186b.jpg

http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/161094b.jpg
For the first time ever, the player is a Pokémon, speaking and interacting with other characters in a world populated only by Pokémon!

One day the player awakens to find that he or she has been turned into a Pokémon. The land is being ravaged by natural disasters so the player decides to form a rescue team with a partner Pokémon. The player can interact with many different Pokémon on various missions while trying to uncover their true purpose and destiny. An engrossing story of adventure, redemption and, most of all, friendship.

http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/180189bm.jpg
An action RPG set in the world of the Pokemon Ranger movie. You play as a Pokemon Ranger. Different from a Pokemon Trainer, a Ranger travels the lands, using Pokemon in a fight to defend nature from baddies. Its release precedes that of Diamond and Pearl, and all three games link up together for some top secret bonuses.

[Trigger]

I might get Rescue Blue team just for Squirtle. I'm not getting Ranger because I have a neighbor that's already getting it.

[Spidey-Bat]

Red is on GBA and Blue is on DS? That kind of sucks. I may consider getting one pending on the reviews.

[Brainiac 8]

I might get Rescue Blue team just for Squirtle. I'm not getting Ranger because I have a neighbor that's already getting it.


I'm getting Ranger because one of the Pokemon you get, you can only get on Ranger, and you transfer it to D/P.

Blue Rescue team looks kinda fun too.:O

[Trigger]

It's Squirtle, screw the reviews.

[Axid]

I had Blue and loved it. I had 99 pokemon and only needed Kabuto and Kabutops to have all 101. Unfortuantely my game crashed:(

There were 151.....

well, 152 if you count MissingNo

[Trigger]

MissingNo?

[Brainiac 8]

MissingNo?

It was a glitch pokemon, and if you caught it, it royally screwed your game up.

[Axid]

the "glitchy-mon", it's like a virus that manifests in the game if you do a certain sequences of steps and flying and surfing through a few towns. Looks like a big distorted sprite that can level up past 100 and learn any TM or HM...multiple times.

[Axid]

It was a glitch pokemon, and if you caught it, it royally screwed your game up.

It pretty much destroys the game if you store it

[Brainiac 8]

Yup, which is why storing it was a bad thing.:o :O

[Axid]

Indeed :(

[Brainiac 8]

http://pages.prodigy.net/maryjorhodes/missingno.gif

[Trigger]

Wierd. It looks like one of the bosses from those early FF games.

[Mr. Vice]

http://pages.prodigy.net/maryjorhodes/missingno.gif

This is what it looked like.

I remember that;)

[Master Chief]

I liked that thing glitch where you could get infininte master balls. I had to do that thing like, a bajillion times.

[Mr. Vice]

I liked that thing glitch where you could get infininte master balls. I had to do that thing like, a bajillion times.

Are you talking about the glitch where you store the master ball in your PC and right when its about to save, you shut off your game? Is that the one?

[Master Chief]

No, you have to talk to some old man then fly to this secluded hard to reach place, then swim up and down the shore line and you'd fight this thing or something. Yeah. Fuuun tiiimes.

[Spidey-Bat]

There were 151.....

well, 152 if you count MissingNo

Then it was 149 I had.

MissingNo doesn't count since 152 is one of the other starters. I caught it and it destroyed my file. 40 hrs and 149 pokemon all lost.

[Telekinetic]

No, you have to talk to some old man then fly to this secluded hard to reach place, then swim up and down the shore line and you'd fight this thing or something. Yeah. Fuuun tiiimes.

i remember that. :D
i stayed up late nights swimming up and down.

[Darkdd]

Many new attacks and abilities have been released during demos of the games all over Japan.Abilities,for those of you who have not played the 3rd gen games,are traits that pokemon have,that give them a special power.Eg.A pokemon that has the ability 'Intimidate',such as Gyrados,lowers all opposing pokemon's attack stats.A pokemon with the ability 'Magma Armor',such as Magmar,can not be frozen etc.I will give a full update when my DSL stops being an ***hole.

[TheGrayGhost]

I am really exciting about these upcoming Pokemon games. All three of the upcoming installments (Pokemon Ranger, Pokemon Rescue Mission, and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl) are rumored to feature interconnectivity. I wonder what kind of crossover features they will have. In any case, I've seen clips of both Pokemon Ranger and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and am very excited.

The thought of online play is very intriguing. Does anyone know the full extent of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl's online capabilites?

[Trigger]

Wifi battles/trading at this point. Maybe new events will be done online too? I wouldn't be too surprised if we could load our main character from Rescue Mission into Diamond/Pearl, which would be cool.

[TheGrayGhost]

Oh yeah, I heard that you'll be able to trade all of the FireRed/LeafGreen Pokemon to Diamond/Pearl. Is this true?

Also, do any of you know if Pokemon Box (GC) will be compatible with Diamond/Pearl?

[TheGrayGhost]

Wifi battles/trading at this point. Maybe new events will be done online too? I wouldn't be too surprised if we could load our main character from Rescue Mission into Diamond/Pearl, which would be cool.

I was hoping they would also feature a community room, like they did in FireRed and LeafGreen.

[Spidey-Bat]

Oh yeah, I heard that you'll be able to trade all of the FireRed/LeafGreen Pokemon to Diamond/Pearl. Is this true?

I haven't seen anything confirming it. My guess is that it'll be like R/B/Y and G/S/C; you can trade from RBY (in this case, FR/LG/R/S/E) to GSC (in this case D/P) but not vice versa.

Also, do any of you know if Pokemon Box (GC) will be compatible with Diamond/Pearl?

Possibly but I wouldn't count on it.

[TheGrayGhost]

From IGN:



June 7, 2006 - Connectivity was the name given to Nintendo's failed experiment at connecting GameCube and Game Boy Advance. The idea resulted in a few enjoyable games, but the overall feeling was that all the required wiring and adapters got in the way of the fun.
With Wii and DS, Nintendo (http://ds.ign.com/articles/711/711658p1.html#) is making another try with the Connectivity idea, and this time no wires are involved. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed today some of the ways in which the two platforms will connect:
The DS can be used as a touch screen controller for the Wii
DS software (http://ds.ign.com/articles/711/711658p1.html#) can be expanded using the Wii (this seems to include bonus elements like playing DS software through the television -- see below for an example)
The DS can access DS Station services via the Wii (DS Station is a retail download terminal which allows for DS downloads).
Iwata gave one clear example for the second area of the service, announcing Pokemon (http://ds.ign.com/articles/711/711658p1.html#) Battle Revolution for the Wii in the process. This title will link up with Pokemon Diamond (http://ds.ign.com/objects/707/707323.html) and Pearl. You start off by inserting the Pearl or Diamond cartridge into your DS and Pokemon Battle Revolution into your Wii. The DS then acts as a controller as your Diamond and Pearl Pokemon battle it out on the screen in 3D. You will have a full set of battle options when fighting this way, including player versus player, player versus CPU and WiFi!
Pokemon Battle Revolution is being developed as the first Connectivity title between the DS and Wii. It will be released to Japan after Diamond and Pearl, but before the end of 2006. Diamond and Pearl are set for Japanese release this Fall.



The games are confirmed for use over a DS Wi-Fi connection online, and new to this DS game, voice chat is being used for Friends Listed players to communicate while battling. The two DS entries are due out in Japan this Fall. Wirelessly, you can connect your DS to your Wii, bringing your born little 2D creatures to life in glorious 3D on the Wii screen.

[Trigger]

Considering what they did with the GBA, I'm not too surprised.

[Venom160]

I dug out Silver a few days ago and found that it won;t let me save anymore, it will come up saying that the file has been corrupted or that it isnt there at all. Is there a way to fix this?

[Trigger]

Nlow the cartridge? Clean it with a q-tip?

[Master Chief]

My Yellow version never loads, my red version I brought into the swimming pool by accident and it worked for a few days then got really glitchy, and my Gold was prolly stolen.

So. Thank Jesus for emulators and roms, I can now enjoy them again using my 360 controller to play.

[Mr. Vice]

I can't even find my blue version.

[Venom160]

Nlow the cartridge? Clean it with a q-tip?I'll try and clean it with a qtip.

[Venom160]

[Captain_Death]

I can't even find my blue version.
I just found mine yesterday. I was really suprised that I had all 151 Pokemon.Where did I get Mew? I don't remember...

[Captain_Death]

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but there is a snowy region in these games, so I bet there will be more Ice types.

[Future Prez]

If you have a Gameshark, then that's probably your answer. Or you could have participated in one of Nintendo's Mew give-aways.

[Spidey-Bat]

That's good news from IGN. The GBA-GC connectivity really sucked IMO. There were like 2 or 3 good games that used it, most the time it was only needed for multiplayer. I like the idea of have the Wii work as a DS Station. I really like playing demos and standing in GameStop playing me DS feels really awkward.

[Captain_Death]

If you have a Gameshark, then that's probably your answer. Or you could have participated in one of Nintendo's Mew give-aways.
I remember now, my sister bought a used Red and there was a bunch of Mews on it and I traded it to Blue.

[TheGrayGhost]

Here's the thing with Pokemon; it's VERY labor intensive if you want to raise powerful Pokemon. There are all sorts of details that you have to take into account if you want great Pokemon:

1) The Pokemon you battle against will affect the stats of your Pokemon. For example, if you fight a Pokemon with a higher physical attack (i.e. Machamp), with each level increase you will see that your Pokemon will gain higher stats in its physical attack. This is both a good and bad thing. If you're training a Geodude, who depends on physical attack because of it's ground/rock type, it's a good thing. But if you're training an Abra or Bulbasaur, who both depend on their special attack because of their respective types, it's a very bad thing. This is why training you starter Pokemon from the beginning of the game is not a very good idea; you'll come across so many Pokemon in the duration of the game that your starter won't be as powerful as it should be.

2) Breeding. Breeding is a goddamn *****. It takes so long.

3) Natures also play a huge role in the power level of your Pokemon. And it's a tedious task trying to catch a Pokemon with the nature you want. Natures affect the stats of your Pokemon.

4) TM's/HM's. There aren't enough of them.

5) Each individual Pokemon is set with a random permutation of IV's (individual values) for each of it's respective stats. These values are never seen and can only be determined using an IV calculator found on websites. The higher the IV's, the better the stats. The lower the IV's, the worse the stats. The values can range from 0 to 31. This is why if you catch five Pidgey, each will have different stat values and likely one will emerge as the strongest. Finding a Pokemon with the right IV's (and right NATURE, by the way) will prove to be a very, very tedious task. It is especially frustrating trying to find the right IV's for a Pokemon that only appears once (i.e. Mewtwo, Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, etc.)

These tredious tasks are precisely the reasons why I eventually dropped out of Pokemon; it was too time consuming. However, I found it very satisfying once I captured the perfect Pokemon; it was a Shroomish with perfect IV's and the perfect nature. I also trained it against Pokemon that would make it very powerful in it's speed and physical attack. It eventually evolved into a Breloom with an attack stat HIGHER than a standard Mewtwo's and a speed stat higher than a standard Jolteon's.:eek:

But I sincerely hope that Nintendo will simplify the system a bit, so we can all have powerful Pokemon without having to waste so much time. But I don't think it will happen. I probably will have to resort to a GameShark or ActionReplay to shorten the work load. But then you also have to consider that Nintendo might implement stricter cheat filters.

What did you guys do to shorten the work load? Or did you just forget about it all and just had fun?

[Socrates]

Now I wish I still had my older games, like Red and Gold. Dammit. :(

Maybe I'll play FireRed though.

[Helghast]

Just download VisualBoyAdvance, and ****en uh, a rom.

[Socrates]

That just isn't the same.

[Helghast]

It is. Verily much so, SIR. Buy a wired 360 controller, playing GB games WITH IT ****EN RULES!!1!!!

[Spidey-Bat]

GrayGhost, a lot of what you posted is very interesting. It makes Pokemon one of the most underrated RPGs b/c of how involved everything is; it's not as simple as catching pokemon, leveling them up, and winning badges. I've looked that stuff up on FAQs, and it seems too complicated to get invovled in.

The most I've done with the game is just look up good pokemon to use in a team, get them ASAP and level them up with good movesets. The best team I've ever used was FireRed. They had good move sets and covered pretty much every type.

I disagree with starter pokemons. It's good to use them since you have them from the start and full control over their movesets. They may not be as strong as they can be, but they're all pretty damn powerful.

[TheGrayGhost]

I've looked that stuff up on FAQs, and it seems too complicated to get invovled in.

Yep. When I first discovered the information, I was overwhelmed. It was a lot to take in, but I eventually came to understand the basics. Who knew that the most trivial of things would have such a lasting impact on the outcome of your Pokemon.

I also forgot to mention that learning how to pass on moves through breeding is also very complicated and requires a lot of patience and knowledge. Sometimes you'll have to form complex strings of Pokemon families to pass on a move for a Pokemon.

I used to share that strategy too, but I've moved on. I learned that a move-set should not be determined to cover respective weakness, but to enhance and capitalize on the unique abilities of every Pokemon. And then I learned about natures, IV's, EV's, and a whole lot of other game mechanics; I learned that EVERY Pokemon can be trained to be successful in battle. I once sweeped an entire team using my perfectly trained Butterfree. I also once took out half a team using only a Tangela.

I disagree with starter pokemons. It's good to use them since you have them from the start and full control over their movesets. They may not be as strong as they can be, but they're all pretty damn powerful.

Yeah, they're powerful, but not nearly as powerful as they can be. I mean, battling Rattas and Caterpies for the first half of the game is definitely not good for you Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, etc.

It's a complicated game, and it's easy to get sucked in.

[Venom160]

The internal battery is dead.Is there a way I can fix this? Can I buy a new battery?

[Axid]

no, just download an emulator and the game rom and run it off your computer if you can't find another copy.

[Venom160]

no, just download an emulator and the game rom and run it off your computer if you can't find another copy.so you telling that I have to buy a whole nother copy of the game?

[Axid]

It's like $7 if you want to play it on your gameboy....

[Spidey-Bat]

Is there a way I can fix this? Can I buy a new battery?

Nope. Catridge batteries have a certain amount of life to them. One of the drawbacks to catridges. Eventually it dies.


I suggest getting an emulator and rom. You could get a used copy of the game, but you don't know how old that is so the battery in it could be low.

[Axid]

How come his died and my old gb games like Kid Icarus and Spiderman 2 Carnage something still work?

[Venom160]

[DareDemon]

Here's the thing with Pokemon; it's VERY labor intensive if you want to raise powerful Pokemon. There are all sorts of details that you have to take into account if you want great Pokemon:

1) The Pokemon you battle against will affect the stats of your Pokemon. For example, if you fight a Pokemon with a higher physical attack (i.e. Machamp), with each level increase you will see that your Pokemon will gain higher stats in its physical attack. This is both a good and bad thing. If you're training a Geodude, who depends on physical attack because of it's ground/rock type, it's a good thing. But if you're training an Abra or Bulbasaur, who both depend on their special attack because of their respective types, it's a very bad thing. This is why training you starter Pokemon from the beginning of the game is not a very good idea; you'll come across so many Pokemon in the duration of the game that your starter won't be as powerful as it should be.

2) Breeding. Breeding is a goddamn *****. It takes so long.

3) Natures also play a huge role in the power level of your Pokemon. And it's a tedious task trying to catch a Pokemon with the nature you want. Natures affect the stats of your Pokemon.

4) TM's/HM's. There aren't enough of them.

5) Each individual Pokemon is set with a random permutation of IV's (individual values) for each of it's respective stats.

What did you guys do to shorten the work load? Or did you just forget about it all and just had fun?

Geez, man. I never really got the whole EV, IV stuff. I still don't get what an "individual value" is. I dunno. And also, how exactly does raising your starter from the begining make him weaker? I've read the whole thread but I still don't get it. I just catch good Pokemon and raise them, but I'd freaking love to have a Pidgey that can K.O. a Mewtwo several levels higher than it.

[Spidey-Bat]

I also forgot to mention that learning how to pass on moves through breeding is also very complicated and requires a lot of patience and knowledge. Sometimes you'll have to form complex strings of Pokemon families to pass on a move for a Pokemon.

I've tried doing that as well, but the whole process is time consuming. For example, I wanted to breed a couple of Eevees to get all 3 of its evolutions. The Eevee I got was male, so I spend hours looking for the hard-to-find Ditto. Once I did, I found out that they were the middle rank in getting a long, decreasing the chances of producing an egg. I gave up on it b/c by the time I had the ability to do all that, I had lost interest.


I used to share that strategy too, but I've moved on. I learned that a move-set should not be determined to cover respective weakness, but to enhance and capitalize on the unique abilities of every Pokemon.

I once sweeped an entire team using my perfectly trained Butterfree. I also once took out half a team using only a Tangela.

The thing I don't like about it is once you have the ability to really get into it and make your pokemon as strong as possible, it's pretty late in the game and there isn't much to do. I hope with D/P, the WiFi capabilities will change that. I think it'd be cool if they made an expansion pack (in the form of a GBA cartridge) or something online. Anything to give more incentive to keep playing it other than getting all the pokemon.

Yeah, they're powerful, but not nearly as powerful as they can be. I mean, battling Rattas and Caterpies for the first half of the game is definitely not good for you Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, etc.

They're still pretty powerful pokemon and I think are worth using in your roster throughout the game.

[TheGrayGhost]

They're still pretty powerful pokemon and I think are worth using in your roster throughout the game.

But not in the metagame. Not in battle against other trainers, where it truly counts.

Anyway, I've done more research on Diamond/Pearl, and I've found that this latest installment to the Pokemon franchise will flip the current metagame on it's head. Nintendo/Gamefreak went ahead with a very minor change that will have very dramatic effects on the way Pokemon trainers battle. To the casual Pokemon player, this change won't change much at all. But to those interested in raising battle teams against online opponents, you best get yourself educated about the new game mechanics:

ALL attack moves are going to be classified as either being PHYSICAL, SPECIAL, or OTHER based upon the attack itself, NOT the type. For example, a move like Thunderpunch is no longer a special attack. Despite it's electric typing, Thunderpunch is now a physical attack and therefore draws from your Pokemon's physical attack statistic. Other attack moves like Hyper Beam and Shadow Ball are no longer physical, but special.

The once high and mighty Pokemon like Alakazam, Blissey, Snorlax, Salamance, etc. are going to suffer severely from this change. Other Pokemon like Hitmochan, Machamp, Breloom, etc. will see a return to glory.

Again, casual players are likely to not realize the dramatic implications from this change, but trust me, it is a HUGE change. It is a change that is very bittersweet for me. On the one hand, Pokemon I've spent hundreds of hours of training will suddenly be obsolete. And on the other hand, this change is very exciting that will lead to a lot more diversity in teams and strategies.

Later today, I am going to post a streamlined version of the current game mechanics. These game mechanics are not likely to change in Diamond/Pearl. They will help you raise better Pokemon, and let you in on just how complicated this game gets.

[TheGrayGhost]

I got lazy. Everything you need to know about raising great Pokemon can be found here:

Advanced Trainer Guide (http://dw.com.com/redir?asid=0&astid=8&siteid=19&edid=107&destCat=22554&destURL=http%3A%2F%2Fdb.gamefaqs.com%2Fportable%2F gbadvance%2Ffile%2Fpokemon_rs_trainer.txt)

It is a long read, but it's worth it.

Well, you can you visit the link I posted above for a full tutorial. But here's a tip I discovered on my own:

Each Pokemon can only receive a maximum of 510 EV's, 252 EV's in two stats and 6 EV's in a third. Just use the Macho Brace and max out your EV's at around LVL 24. Once you've maxed out, you can use Rare Candies all the way to LVL 100.

[Spidey-Bat]

That change is dumb. If Thunderpunch is now physical, then there's no point in it being a Thunderpunch.

[TheGrayGhost]

That change is dumb. If Thunderpunch is now physical, then there's no point in it being a Thunderpunch.

Dumb as it may be, a lot of Pokemon will benefit from it. I sincerely think it will make for a lot more interesting metagame.

so, has anyone else busted out there old pokemon games after seeing some of this stuff?

[TheGrayGhost]

I was playing my Sapphire like crazy, trying to raise an all-star team of Pokemon to trade over into the new games. But once I heard about the change in game mechanics, I halted all of my training. I need to see how Diamond/Pearl will affect the old school move-sets.

Online play is something that has gotten me really excited.

I haven't played my FireRed in awhile. My team was good on paper but I could never get them leveled up enough. I barely managed to beat the Elite Four (I only had my Charizard, and Pigeot by the time I got to Gary). After that I tried to raise some pokemon to evolve but eventually lost interest.

[Trigger]

The starters aren't psychic, dark, and fighting. :(

http://img131.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=78649_1154771859996_447lo.jpg

Their names, in this order, are Naetoru, Hikozaru & Bocchama. Roselia's evo is Roserade, and Eletrobuzz's evo is Elecbul.

[Captain_Death]

I really want that penguin Pokemon

[Captain_Death]

Oh, and Perap (The bird with the music note head) has an attack called Chatter, which confuses. You can record your voice and it will say something when you use that attack. And Bonsley is Pearl exclusive and Mime Jr. is Diamond exclusive.

I concur, I will smother that penguin in a flurry of hugs and girly squeals.

Are those pictures of Pokemon Contests in the second pic? (At the bottom with the squirrel.)

[Spidey-Bat]

Those starters look really dumb but their evolutions are probably cool. I wonder which will be the easier starter. First it was Bulbasaur, then Cyndaquil, then Mudkip.

Elecbul is really cool.

[InsaneMembrane]

Pokemon was my video-gaming obession for years I have red, blue,yellow, gold, silver, trading card game, and pinball..then I got an xbox and stopped buying games for my portable gaming devices

I like the new grass type starter and the water one too...


The Wii Pokemon game looks awesome I'll probably buy it after I get Zelda...

[Geo7877]

Bulbasaur was the ****. I miss his totally awesome ways.

http://www.pikachu.cz/Pokedex/RBY2/001...Bulbasaur.jpg


I hate the new pokemon games, there are just way to many creatures, half of which now are completely rediculous looking.

I'd like a well made remake with the original 151 pokemon back in the spotlight.

[Geo7877]

That was made just last year :confused: :down

"..well made.."

[Spidey-Bat]

"..well made.."

They did that:o

[Sloth7d]

Just out of curiosity...
And this question is to everyone
What was your 6 team pokemon line up and some of the strategy you used?

[Spidey-Bat]

The only game I can remember is FireRed. My team was Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard, Machamp, Alakazam, and Pidgeot. I basically would just counter with my types and attacks. I usually had 1 move that was good against it's weakness, like Machamp had Rock Slide. Electric was my biggest problem. Looking back, I should have had a different team. I'd probably have replaced all but Venusaur, Machamp, and Alakazam with better alternatives.

[Axid]

Mew, Dragonite, Zapdos, Flareon, Blastoise, and Beedrill


:confused::up:

[Sloth7d]

I can't lie.
I still occasionally play pokemon on long roadtrips.
I love any and all competetive rpgs and poket monsters are no exeption.
My current team is-(and I don't use the cheap pokemon exa:mew,mewtwo,rayquaza,deoxys,groudon,kyogre,lugi a ,and ho-oh.)is-

Dusclops,tyranitar,sandslash,Alakazam,snorlax,and gengar.

My strategy is opening up with dusclops using various status aligned moves.
If I can I'll try to dominate my opponents whole team with him. He has leftovers as an item and I use double team to lower my chances of being hit until burn kills the other pokemon. If not I'll use nightshade for a guaranteed 100 damage. If dusclops faints, I'll quickly respond with Tyranitar. He'll create a sand storm, which afterwards I'll switch for sandslah because of his high evasion in sand storms. With softsand equipped I'd continue to use earthquake or seismictoss for a guaranteed 100 damage.
And there is more to my setup than this, but I don't feel like typing it all.

[TheGrayGhost]

Just out of curiosity...
And this question is to everyone
What was your 6 team pokemon line up and some of the strategy you used?

I had trained 60 Pokemon, all especially prepared for battle. So in a way, I didn't have just one team of six Pokemon. But here is a team that I am especially proud of:

Snorlax
Gardevoir
Magneton
Skarmory
Milotic
Salamance

Argue with this team, and I will shoot you. I will literally come out of the computer screen and shoot you dead.:o

[Spidey-Bat]

I only disagree with Skarmory and Magneton though that's becauase I try to avoid having duplicate types.

[Sloth7d]

Well yeah, I have waaaaaaaay more than one team myself.
I was just curious who everyones main team is.
But
I am curious to your strategy.

[Geo7877]

I'm pretty sure I had
Venusaur
Blastoise
Charizard
Zapados
Gyarados
Mewtwo

all 100's

[iceberg325]

you have to have butterfree in a lineup. If raised right he dominates.

[TheGrayGhost]

I only disagree with Skarmory and Magneton though that's becauase I try to avoid having duplicate types.

Beware the God-like power of Skarmory. Beware.

The following links are videos of the finals of the Pokemex Tournament held in Mexico City. The videos are divided into three parts, and the battle showcases all of the strategy that goes into a Pokemon battle.

Part 1:http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBA2RmfKFQY
Part 2:http://youtube.com/watch?v=S3_gZmAZUw8
Part 3:http://youtube.com/watch?v=SHuF6wRzkgA

[Spidey-Bat]

I don't disagree with using them, I disagree with using them on the same team since they're the same type. I tend to avoid that.

[CloakandDagger]

Bulbasaur was the ****. I miss his totally awesome ways.

Two new pokemon have been revealed.This is a calendar so the art is not done by Ken Sugimori,so the art may look a little odd.

A new cat poke
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h89/emmafrost1/catpoke.jpg

And a new baby to make Blissey even more vulgar.
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h89/emmafrost1/blissbaby.png

Also revealed,One of Diaruga's types is steel,and one of Parukia's types is water.This comes from a bandai merchandise website,so it may not be 100% accurate.Link below
http://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2006/36776.html

Note-none of this is 100% confirmed,but you can pretty much believe it for now.

I really think they need a 3d adventure pokemon game for the wii. it would be in a 3d enviroment walking around, capturing pokemon and talking to people. and the pokemon fights could be like the fights in pokemon stadium

that would own

You don't get badges(to my knowledge) but you do have to treck across the land and solve problems(via pkmn battles ofcourse) in true rpg fashion.

[Darkdd]

Get your asses to serebii.net!!!!!!!! They have advance coptes of the game.
Magmar has an evo(!), Tangela has an evo, Magneton has an evo, new Eevee evolutions(!)...............

Probably before Christmas.

[spideyboy_1111]

really? thought it was an 07 release? it's just about or just came out in japan... so usually is a handfull months before it hits the US

I hope its an early 07 release then.:csad:

[spideyboy_1111]

It was released Sept 28th in Japan... and will be released in the US spring 07'
