Pokémon It's the Pokemon thread - Part 2

GOTCHA, ****ER. That took way too long.

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

*claps*

congrats! I had a cheat that made it easier to at least find them. I would go to Ecruteak City (sorry if I misspelled that) and I would go up and down until they wound up in the little grass area just south of the city. I would go into the grass and they always appeared first battle.

I eventually caught them all, Suicune was always my favorite though.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Was Suicune a regular roaming Legendary in the original Silver/Gold? He's a weird blend of stationary and roaming in the remakes and I don't remember him being like that in the originals.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

In Gold and Silver, he was. But Crystal introduced a side-story with him and you eventually had an opportunity to catch him without him escaping. HG/SS kept that in tact.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Ah, interesting. Thanks. I never played Crystal.

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

One of my favorite Pokémon both in the games, movies and shows. When we met him in Johto Journeys you knew this was going to be special.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

Cool! My fave Pokemon in both looks and on my team and type, is Houndoom.

 

[Matt Mortem]

My favorite, as I've said a thousand times before, is Nidoking. He's not on my team anymore because my best friend runs a Starmie heavy team and I don't feel like just letting my Nidoking get destroyed. My current favorite has to be Ferrothorn. Such a baus!

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Always Dragonite for me. With Surf, Thundershock, Flamethrower and Outrage. All strong moves with good accuracy, and a varied type set to make sure I'm good against just about everyone.

 

[Matt Mortem]

It'll be interesting to see how Dragon holds up with Fairy type coming into the fray.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

I just love building up different teams and my passion for that is very high. It's so rewarding to finally get a great team and then testing them out through various battles.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

It'll be interesting to see how Dragon holds up with Fairy type coming into the fray.

It may not make as much of a difference as I originally thought. Since most Dragon-types can learn such a wide variety of moves, any dual-typed Fairies will probably still have a weakness that a Dragon can learn by TM.

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

B/W 2 was awesome for me cause I got to put together a great team of some of my favorite all time Pokémon!

For example, aside from my fully evolved starter (Tepig in this case) I got a Ryolu and evolved him into Lucario, and then I caught a Mareep and evolved it into one of my favorite Johto Pokémon Ampharos. I evolved some other Pokémon later and I had a really balanced team.

 

[Matt Mortem]

B/W2 had a really diverse Pokemon selection. IMO it had one of the absolute best. Waaaayyyy better than what you had to work with in Ruby and Sapphire.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

so have we comfirmed how x & y will be backwards compatible. i'm still on the fence about a pre order and want to know can i transfer new lv1 of my classic 6 to the new game if i breed them in black 2

 

[Ramsay Snow]

I'm hoping the new game has a great selection and when playing online, I hope you can fight almost any Pokemon from the whole series.

 

[Duke]

I don't know if this has been posted before, but it seems we'll be having another evolution in addition to the already announced Fairy Type which the new games will be calling Mega Types.

[Spidey-Bat]

Yeah, Pokemon has jumped the Sharpedo.

 

[Duke]

Or the ideas might be running dry.

 

[WolfCypher]

I think they're alternate forms for those Pokémon instead of evolutions. I only say this because a popular rumor going around is that these forms only come out during battle.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Eh, whatever. A new kind of evolution is fine with me.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I think they're alternate forms for those Pokémon instead of evolutions. I only say this because a popular rumor going around is that these forms only come out during battle.

I hope this is the case. I want Pokemon to keep the simplicity of a Pokemon family only having 3 evolutions at most.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I've read speculation that the plot of the game involves genetic manipulation of Pokemon, so if true, maybe these forms have something to do with that.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

Kinda random choices for the Megas a few wild, a legendary and an old gen starter.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Makes sense that they would use Mewtwo for promo pictures then, if that's true.
