Hey all you 'mon trainers out there. I'm an avid Pokemon fan and i'm looking for some matches so psot your FC's here, mines in my sig ;)

I remember being hooked to pokemon before. I remember owning Blue, Red, Yellow, Crystal, Silver and Gold. I think the games have went a bit too far now

Pearl and Diamond are the pinacles, 491 pokemon, unlimited team combinations. It took the last 4 generations and timed the fun by ten.

I own blue and pearl, that was it, and truth be told all seem the same to me, sure there are few extra pokemon, and pearl has mini-games built into it but I am really bored with it. Either way something to do on the long trips.

PS I didn't buy the Pokemon game got for free at a raffle, it was part of a gaming package

I played blue, red, gold and crystal, and after a while I realized that it was the saem thing again and again, so I stopped.

they still haven't caught them all?

Pokemon Diamond

Pokemon Pearl

Pokemon Diamond

My rules:

* The following Pokemon are banned: Mewtwo, Mew, Wobbuffet, Lugia, Ho-oh, Wynaut, Latios, Latias, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Deoxys (all forms), Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin & Arceus (all types).

* Sleep Clause is in effect (Only one Pokémon per team may be forcebly put under the Sleep Status at any one given time, not including Rest users). If you Encore a Sleep Move, or Lock a Pokémon into a Sleep Move via switching their Item to a Choice Item, it's your own fault.

* Self KO Clause is in effect (If you use Explosion/Self Destruct, Perish Song, Destiny Bond etc as your final move to make the match end in a draw, you lose).

* Species Clause (You may only use one of the same Pokémon per team, eg. Only 1 Charizard, but you may use a Charmander and/or Charmeleon too).

* OHKO Moves are banned (Moves that faint a Pokémon in one hit, eg. Fissure, Sheer Cold, Horn Drill, Guillotine).

* Evasion Moves are banned (Double Team, Minimize etc).

* Sub-Item Clause in effect. You can only use a Maximum of 3 of the same Item.

* Please refrain from using Hacked/Sharked Pokémon with modified stas etc.

* Disconnections will most likely count as a Loss, unless your opponent agrees to a rematch if the connection was at fault.

I disagree on a few of those rules.
Sleep Clause is in effect (Only one Pokémon per team may be forcebly put under the Sleep Status at any one given time, not including Rest users). If you Encore a Sleep Move, or Lock a Pokémon into a Sleep Move via switching their Item to a Choice Item, it's your own fault.It's called a good strategy. If you can't counter it, it's just a lack of planning on your part.
Species Clause (You may only use one of the same Pokémon per team, eg. Only 1 Charizard, but you may use a Charmander and/or Charmeleon too)Why not? I couldn't care one way or the other, but you're being really picky. If the other person has more than one of the SAME Pokémon, doesn't that make it easier for you to beat them?
* Evasion Moves are banned (Double Team, Minimize etc).

* Sub-Item Clause in effect. You can only use a Maximum of 3 of the same Item.Again, why? Double Team and Minimize are just as valid as any other move, so why do you insist on not using them? No more than 3 of the same item? What are you afraid of?

No offense, but your rules seem to be kinda nit-picky, if not harsh.

If you actually played Pokemon you would understand these are the standard metagame rules.

as defiend by smogon and serebii.

Well i realized that all pokemon games are the same

so everyone that has multiple pokemon games (including myself)
Has boughten the same game more than once

I'm an avid fan, to an extent. I don't have a team to compete with most of you at the moment, though, I'm still trying to catch 'em all. Once I get around to breeding my perfect team, I'll let you know

I'm with ploogle here some of those rules kinda of kill the whole strategy element of Pokémon. The moves your Pokémon have is key and restricting what moves you can use is stupid.

I don't care about official metagame rules I just hate people who use ubers. My team is just a bunch of common Pokémon but with the right move set I made them almost unstoppable.

There only in the 30s to but if you want to battle just pm me. We should try to get a tournament or something going.

I am in for some Pokemon. I will post my FC as soon as my DS charges.

hehe i dont like pokemon, i usto when i was like 5 lol

Smogon has over 20,000 users, serebii has nearly 50,000. They are the pokemon authorities and those are their rules. I use those rules because i beleive them to be fair and have allways played by them.

Podtacular is pretty much the Halo authority on the internet, and there's no way in hell I'd listen to any rules they set on it. Heck, just because a lot of people visit the website doesn't mean that it makes them "an authority".

Yes, because Halo is jsut like Pokemon =//=

Also the reason double team & minimize are banned is because people spam them and it makes it no fun.

I'm with ploogle, the rules are pointless, teh game should just be played as the devs allowed it to be.

And the fact that those people set the rules even if they have a lot of traffics means jack all.

They have no power, they have no say.

Don't be such a tool.

I don't condone limiting what you can do in a game because it is considered "cheap". However the frustration of fighting someone who uses and evade move over and over is sinfully painful.

I think Pokemon is crap. It's just a collect-em-up

If you think their rules are unfair then you wont get far in compettitive battling is all i can say ;)

Those rules don't apply for official tournaments, they don't count and are 100% bullshit.

You can easily counter someone who uses double team and minimize a lot and thats the whole point of Pokemon. Everyone has there own strategy but each strategy has its own weakness. To counter someone who uses double team or minimize a lot just either use attacks that never miss(there are quite a few of these), use quick claw so you go first every time so you can 1hit ko the guy or use roar to make him switch to another pokemon, use attacks that lower evasion, etc.

On the other side tho using Pokemon like Mewtwo or other ubers, there really isn't a way to counter against Pokemon who can learn every move in the game =/

they still haven't caught them all?

Haha good one. ;] I think Pokemon has gone on too far by now i only played one of the very first then i decided how weird it was. :l

Emophia agrees with me on something!

Pokemon who use Double Team and Minimize can still be attacked with moves like Swift...or any move following something like Lock-on. Mist removes all stat changes, including evasion. There are plenty of strategies to counter them, it just takes a good strategy...something which those rules forbid.

On the other side tho using Pokemon like Mewtwo or other ubers, there really isn't a way to counter against Pokemon who can learn every move in the game =/
Actually, Mewtwo can't learn every move in the game...and I don't see anything wrong with "ubers." They're in the game, so they should be allowed to be used. If you aren't competent enough to get far enough in the game to catch them, then you shouldn't be playing the game to begin with. It's "uber" easy.

Even Ubers can be slaughtered with type matchups and a good moveset.

Those rules don't apply for official tournaments, they don't count and are 100% bullshit.

Nintendo Official rules state; 3 pokemon in a team.

Thats it.

Smogons metagame is all the rules i said. i play by the meta game.

Even Ubers can be slaughtered with type matchups and a good moveset.


Wrong, even if you had a team a team of IVed, Eved OU's designed to counter a team of Ubers you would lose.

Nintendo Official rules state; 3 pokemon in a team.

Exactly, so those are the only rules that matter.

Everything is unneccessary bullshit.

You can play by whatever rules you want, but don't force them onto other people.

Aside from trying to "impress" us all with the pointless terminology, you're wrong. Why only use OU's? In my mind, that's bad strategy. If you can unlock it during the game, you deserve to be able to use it in battle. That's why Ubers are so highly sought, they are more powerful BUT THEY CAN BE BEATEN WITH THE RIGHT STRATEGY.

Have you ever put the time into IVing or EVing a good team of Pokemon? If you do it right, you can trample near anything.

And no, thank you. I don't think I'll play with you...

I got to the quarter finals of a 5000 strong tournament with 4 BL's and 2 OU's. I could 6-0 you anyday so STFU you stupid n00b.

And Ubers are not "sought" after. In fact they are frowned upon largely except in specific tournaments like JAW.

lol Pokemon elitists...

How sad...

so STFU you stupid n00b.
Not cool, man. There are many better ways to say it.

My question was asking if you have ever taken the time to breed for IVs and train for EVs correctly to build a pwning team, not how often the pokemon on your team are used by others. Way to try and impress me again with numbers and terminology; you blew it.

I'll leave you to your BLs and OUs now...goodbye.

Agreed

Okay, Maulzorz. I'm sorry if I came across as overly mean, but there are some things that I just get annoyed by. (One of which is trying to impress people over really pointless stuff.)

I'm just gonna drop the whole thing. I mean, seriously. It's Pokemon.

Retraction. Forget it. Not sorry.

Oh, and just to clarify: I said "It's Pokemon". I dare you to find a "just" in that particular sentence. I was meaning that it's really stupid to be arguing over a video game like Pokemon.

So....
Who all collected/played the cards?

(Let's see who flames at me though I've stated this right here: "I don't care, I don't play it a lot.")
I just got to the Victory Road on Diamond.
Too bad my battery died.

For the sake of my sanity i really hope you arent being serious

It's not any more complicated or stratigic than freaking Yugioh...

And it is 'Just' Pokemon, nothing more.

Every resource I have ever seen agrees that this is a horrible EV distribution. The goal (or so good sense dictates) is to assign each Pokemon a role (Like Tank or Sweeper) and give them EVs accordingly. If your focus is power, you're gonna want to give it more Attack than anything else, with any leftover EVs going into HP.

You seriously had the nerve to call me a stupid n00b, and yet you go against the very sources you try to convey you know so well?

I'm not trying to flame or be mean, but you seriously need to think about what you're saying and how you come across.

Sorry to against you Ploogle... but you are wrong in this case... You can't just dump EV into one stat. It is balanced by the game

So, what are the limits? Well for starters, you can only gain 510 Effort Values before they will stop being counted. 510 can be called our "Overall Maximum", if you want a technical term. So this brings the Effort Points you can gain to 64, once again as a maximum. But this is still a bit much to add to any one stat, and it would make any Mewtwo have an absurd amount of Special Attack still, or Blissey still having that huge potential to go over 700 Hit Points (not like you still can't get there.) So, to make it limited still, there can only be a maximum of 255 Effort Points per stat, giving a pokemon a potential 32 point increase in any stat.

I never said that you dump it all into one stat. I'm saying that it's a very poor strategy to divvy it up evenly amongst all the stats. I was giving attack as an example. I forget the most common distrubutions right now, but my point is that he shouldn't be talking about how he'll pwn everyone when it doesn't seem like he's done anything except try and make his pokemon powerful in everything versus even more powerful in a specific role.

I dunno... I was just going by what that site said... I figured they'd know what they were talking about seeing as they have a bunch of helpful things there.... Who knows... I picked up Diamond over the summer when my family went on a family trip. Great game to play on the road. Sad thing was that I started over like 10 hours in because I wanted to do something differently. My brother also got the game, which was cool. But we never were in the same level so we couldn't battle each other. I did manage to get a shiny pokemon, but my game shut off when I closed the DS when it's just supposed to go in sleep mode. So I lost it... Haven't been able to get another one since...

Damn that game can be so bloody engaging... I also remember trying to breed pokemon to get certain movesets on them... that's always a pain in the ass...

Well, I say this to all of you!

*facepalm*

Those are IVS, they determine the maximum a stat can reach. 31 = highest, 0 = lowest.

You use the serebii calculator and input the stats it has when it is at level 100.

Donphan is my spinner, 252 EVs in HP and 252 in Defence. That means he is perfect for a spinner as he has 31 IVs in both HP and defence, plus the boosted other stats with 31 IVs, which isn't easy to get.

Then why have I seen people put 80-100 in some stats?

Because there are 252 Evs maximum per stat, 510 EVs in total.

I don't go by the serebii abbreviations or when they try and complicate it more than it allready is.

It's not any more complicated or stratigic than freaking Yugioh...

And it is 'Just' Pokemon, nothing more.

Ever heard of IV breeding? EV training? Team building?
Ever heard of tanks, spinners, special sweepers, physical sweepers, special walls, physical walls, 491 pokemon to pick and choose from, 100 different moves providing near unlimited moveset combinations. It is a lot more complicated than yu-gi-oh.

Yes, Yu-gi-oh has stuff just as deep as that.

Face it, Pokemon is no more complicated than a childrens card game.

Gosh... Whatever happened to Digimon.
MetalGreyMon could whoop Charizard.
Maybe...

In other news, I just pulled out "Pokemon: The First Movie Soundtrack"
Bump dat Aaron Carter.

So, I was wondering how using Carbos and Protein and stuff work now (on Diamond)?
Apparently you have to wait after giving them one? It used to be that you could just give your Pokemon all that they could MAX out with in one sitting. Now, is there some kind of waiting system?

Digimon was the shit.

Well until Kairi grew breasts, then it started sucking.

Oops! It's been a while. Sorry about that. It looked like you had no clue what you were talking about.

Yeah, I thought you could put in quite a few per stat.

I'm gonna have to agree with Maulzorz on this one, Emophia. Although I don't really blame him, as I didn't realize how complex the strategy could be until I read up on that stuff.

All the same, and no matter how complicated the game is, it's still a game. Ones and Zeroes. Bits and Bytes. Electronic currents. Whatever the heck you wanna call it, that's what it all boils down to. There's absolutely no reason why we (meaning you) should be getting worked up over something as trivial as electronic data.

Believe it or not, that's part of the EVing process we've been arguing over. :p In case you didn't read, here's a basic summary:

Each Pokemon has a certain number of EVs(Effort Values) that can be divvied up amongst their stats. If you're going for a pokemon with a lot of strength (just for an example, don't take it out of context again), then you'll want to put the majority in Attack. There are a couple of different ways of distributing these EVs. First of all, each wild pokemon has a certain amount of EVs per stat that you'll get upon defeating them. For example, if you beat a pokemon that gives 2 Defense EVs, then that's how 2 of your EVs will be distributed. Secondly, you can give them nutrient supplements like Carbos or Iron to distribute the EVs like that.

The point of EVs is that when you level up (please correct me if I'm wrong on this, Maulzorz) your Pokemon will gain additional stat points depending on how high your EVs and IVs are in each stat. If you want to learn more about this, I highly suggest googling it. There's a lot of great stuff out there about this written by people who know a HECK of a lot more than me about it.

I miss the old Red where you could just inject them with steroids that would make Barry Bonds look clean.
This EV and IV stuff is just ridiculous... I've never even payed attention to any of that stuff...

It's purely optional. If you want to just play the game and have fun without worrying about any of this, that's perfectly fine. However, this adds a new dimension to the game for the seriously competetive.

I miss MissingNO.

He was...a glitch. I'm glad they fixed that.

what exactly was missingNO?

what exactly was missingNO?He was...a glitch. I'm glad they fixed that.I just said.

I know he was a glitch, but he was a really fun glitch.
I wish with the next generation, they'd put him in there, just for kicks.

what do you mean a glitch?

was he a pokemon?

Hey! leave pokemon alone as you all know it is one of the most complicated and strategic game series there is :P

/sarcasm(Just incase you thought i was actually being serious)

Let me start rampaging about Pokeman and end it in 3 words: Pokemon is gay. See. All you do i catch little babies and watch the hit eachother with a punch 10ft away! ITS STUPID!

pokemon=superpowered cockfighting

Yeah, when you did a series of certain actions, the game would try to reference one pokemon higher than the total (or something like that) and give you a really glitched-out image. Fans called him MissingNo(Missing Number) accordingly.

Only thing was he could mess up your save data or freeze the game, depending on what you tried to do with him.

could he battle? did he have any moves?

Wow. Didn't realize how many people had posted before me...

Yes, he could attack...in a sense. He would do a one-hit KO, from what I remember...

If you attacked him, his health would equal zero, but he would still fight.

Yes, Yu-gi-oh has stuff just as deep as that.

Face it, Pokemon is no more complicated than a childrens card game.

yeah got that rightI cleared pokemon diamond whitout getting my team wiepout,and as for being 491 pokemon and 100 moves yu-gi-oh has more than 1000 different cards and a heck more lot of card combinations than pokemon would ever have.

Wow... I have a lot of mixed feelings about the Pokemon games. At first, they were a small heaven located on a tiny, colorful GameBoy screen right in front of me. They consumed hours and hours of my life. Eventually, I caught Mewtwo, all the legendary birds, a freaking level 100 Charizard, and even a MissingNo that evolved into a Kangaskhan that could surf AND FLY! (I don't know why) But then, my game decided to kill itself. The last time I played, all of it was gone. Everything. Why? Didn't I work to become the world's greatest Pokemon Master? I mean, come on!! That was like five years of my life!!! *throws chair against wall* Pokemon, why have you forsaken me??

I mean, come on!! That was like five years of my life!!! *throws chair against wall* Pokemon, why have you forsaken me??

It was most likely because of MissingNo. Once you capture that pokemon, all bets are off as it can corrupt anything in your game...

yeah got that rightI cleared pokemon diamond whitout getting my team wiepout,and as for being 491 pokemon and 100 moves yu-gi-oh has more than 1000 different cards and a heck more lot of card combinations than pokemon would ever have.

Calm down, I wasn't insulting your children's card game of choice.

But I'd have to agree, Yugioh is way deeper than Pokemon.

I played pokemon, and I even got another game so I could trade both poekmon into one game. however, after awhile, whenever I put a pokemon into my "storafge" place, it disappeared.

I don't know what happened... and I quit.:(

Pokemon has more to it than people first realize. With all the different types of Pokemon, one can have a truly unique team. And if you raise your Pokemon correctly, and teach them the right moves, and make them fight the right Pokemon you can have an awesome team. You have further options of hold items, natures, EVs and IVs...and all that jazz. More to it than you think.

well, you cant really find a better monster collector RPG game, can you?
I'm just saying.
although im psyched about the new Dragon Warrior Monster game coming out.
there is one coming out, right?

Yeah, when you did a series of certain actions, the game would try to reference one pokemon higher than the total (or something like that) and give you a really glitched-out image. Fans called him MissingNo(Missing Number) accordingly.

Only thing was he could mess up your save data or freeze the game, depending on what you tried to do with him.

I loved that glitch. If you fled from battle it would give you 125 of whatever was in your 4th place in the item menu. Also you could find a bunch of level 100+ pokemon at the same locations. The pokemon you could catch was determined by your characters name. I had a team of 6 level 100 Mewtwos. 6 Level 100 Mewtwos and 125 masterballs ftw.

Missingno is a glitch where you encounter a wild battle but there are no Pokemon programmed to be there so the game mashes one together.

sorry din't mean to be so rude I was just saying my opinion and as for pokemon I din't say I din't liked it,to tell the truth I prefer pokemon more than yu-gi-ho.

You apparently missed the first 6 pages...that's what we were talking/arguing about.

Yu-gi-oh is deeper than pokemon, i never said Pokemon was 'the' i said it was 'a'.

Missingno is a glitch where you encounter a wild battle but there are no Pokemon programmed to be there so the game mashes one together.
That's essentially what I said, restated differently.

Yu-gi-oh is deeper than pokemon, i never said Pokemon was 'the' i said it was 'a'.

It is a lot more complicated than yu-gi-oh.

Right...

*claps for Emophia*

In order to stop the arguing...

Feb. 27 is National Pokemon Day!!!
Facebook link. (http://hs.facebook.com/event.php?eid=19405249976)

I'm taking my DS to school and saying Pokemon names for answers all day.

Huzzah! National Pokemon Day! I wasn't aware that was a real holiday. Maybe we should work for a day off?

Huzzah! National Pokemon Day! I wasn't aware that was a real holiday. Maybe we should work for a day off?

No! Because then we wouldn't be able to spread the love of Pokemon to all of our fellow peers at schools and jobs.

"What's 2+2?"
"Clefary."

What is the capitol of Louisiana?

-...Charmander?

no

-Ah! I knew it was either Charmander or Torchic. So yeah, Torchic.

Right...

TBH i had never played a proper yu-gi-oh game, only this stupid dungeon monster yu-gi-oh game.

However i robbed up a copy of yu-gi-oh world championship 2008 off my brother ind it is very complicated.

So your saying pokemon is one of the most complicated games of its type and you haven't even played its only real competition?
So basically your just a pokemon fanboy:P

So basically your just a pokemon fanboy:P

pretty much...

I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh the TCG and a couple of the video games.
I currently play Pokemon Diamond and I played the orignal TCG (where Charizard was king.)

And, honestly, Yu-Gi-Oh TCG was much more in depth than Pokemon.
Sure, Pokemon had strengths and weaknesses and HP, but Yu-Gi-Oh had all of that and then some.

To deploy a trap card effectively in Yu-Gi-Oh required a lot of cunning, anticipation, and wisdom. If you use the trap to kill this monster, will they just send out another that's even tougher? Or how can you trick opponents by bluffing.

I never used that depth of thinking in Pokemon TCG.

The games cannot be compared (unless you compare Pokemon TCG for the GBC) because they're not alike at all.
But if you DO compare the TCG GameBoy Games and the like, then again, Yu-Gi-Oh takes the cake, since the mechanics remain the same.

These are my opinions. Feel free to disagree.

I've never played the Yu-Gi-Oh card game OR the Pokemon card game...parents wouldn't let me.

So your saying pokemon is one of the most complicated games of its type and you haven't even played its only real competition?
So basically your just a pokemon fanboy:P

No, i have been to the 10th anniversary event, the summer camp, four tournaments, 6 ONM championships, 2 Smogon tournaments, 2 JAW tournaments and 3 serebii tournaments.

Yu-gi-oh isn't its "competition", they are two completely different game styles (unless you're talking about Pokemon TCG which is a completely different game to Pokemon D/P).

That doesn't change the fact that you talked about how Pokemon was deeper than a game that you never played, then took it back after you played it.

You basically have no credibility.

No matter how many tournaments for a Childrens Video game or a Children's Card game you've been in.

Yu-gi-oh may not be its only competition but it is probably the only game you can compare it to....Oh and by the way telling me you've been to all these crappy events and tournaments doesnt make you any less of a fanboy:D

Amen, although it's a bit worse than that. Maulzorz, you're comparing a turn-based video game to a completely different trading card game.

I was saying how stupid comparing yu-gi-oh and Pokemon is as they are different genres. It's like comparing Nintendogs with Pro evoltuon soccer 08, i mean 'WTF?!'.

Then:It is a lot more complicated than yu-gi-oh.

You're right in Yu-Gi-Oh not being it's only TCG competition.
Magic: The Gathering is, I believe.
Those two combined have a lot of impact on the TCG world.

As for Maulzorz:
Just because you've been to many competitions and events doesn't make you and official judge of the game, much less it's competition.
I too have been to many Pokemon card competitions, but that doesn't mean that I am biased. It means I took enjoyment in the game. But on the contrary, I never talked bad about Yu-Gi-Oh before I had played it. I didn't know what it was, so I made no assumptions. Once I learned to play Yu-Gi-Oh, I learned what it was and how it was played. Then I compared the two TCGs.

They are quite different, and deep within their own respects.

I really recommend you play Yu-Gi-Oh a few times and learn the game. Then you can do all the bad mouthing you want. But hear this, your opinions on which one is more "deep and complex" or whatever are still opinions.

And in the long run, say, when you're grown up and settled down... will it really matter which one was better?

But I did hurd that u all leik mudkips.
(Must... end... this... argument....)

But on the contrary, I never talked bad about Yu-Gi-Oh before I had played it.In Maulzorz' defense (*shudder*), he didn't ever talk bad about it. He just said that it wasn't as deep as Pokemon.

Once I learned to play Yu-Gi-Oh, I learned what it was and how it was played.Wait, say what? You repeated the same thing twice in the same sentence.

And...holy crap. You have over 200 posts. It seems like only yesterday you had 38. *checks join date* Edit: DUDE! You've been here for just over two weeks, and you already have that many posts? Look out, Viatrophy...

When i rattled of that list of tournaments i was showing what it takes to be a Pokemon fanboy, just playing and knowing the game doesn't make you a fanboy.

And i didn't talk bad about yu-gi-oh and i am currently quite addicted to it :lol:

I haven't been to TCG tournaments, i've been to video game tournaments. Yu-Gi-Oh is a completely different genre to the Pokemon this thread is discussing.

I called you a fanboy because you were bad mouthing other game(s) In the TCG(ish) genre which you had never even played and not because you know a disturbing amount about a childrens card game:)

As I go back and read the posts now, I agree. He never bad talked it. I misinterpreted. My bad.

Yes, I realize now that that statement didn't make any sense. At the time I was writing it, I was thinking back about when I learned for the first time.

I didn't realize it was that big of a deal (the post count). I don't think I'm spamming or anything... am I?


Ok, so back to Pokemon. In Diamond, where is Grubite (sp?) (the little blue dragon thing) found? My town map didn't really explain. It showed on Mt. Cornet, but I searched for hours and never found one. Is there a specific room or time of day to find one? I really like what they look like, and aren't they Dragon type?

Pokemon was fun when it was just 151 monsters to collect... i didn't go on playing after Yellow edition on the gameboy....

I looked for about a half hour, and then gave up. I'm guessing they're like Feebas.

They're actually called "Gabite" and they are very rare in the marsh. I have some if you want to trade.

There is NO excuse for that. That's just blatant hate towards all of us. Please use proper English. If you wanted to convince us that you honestly had bad English, you shouldn't have kept the grammar intact. "Teh" and "Lieks" are considered "Leet", and not a lack of English.

"MY ENGLISH IS SOCK PLIEX KORREKT MAI MASTAKES THANX"? There is NO possible way that that's even an accidental error.

Hey buddy, you wanna, uh, please not mock religion?

Hey buddy, you wanna, uh, please not mock religion?
He's not mocking religion, he's specifically mocking Christianity.

I agree, please don't. Not only is it not cool, but it will get you a bad reputation or (*gasp*) a really lousy linked title.

Actually the story he's mocking is Judaism and Christianity. And he needs to SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

His story was based off of something? I honestly didn't read it until now, but it does appear that way...

I thought it was entertaining, religion be damned.

Leave him be.

Can we go back to arguing about pokemon again?:P

No.

No.

Why not? Isn't this what this thread is about? We all need to express our sick love for pokemon and you are getting in the way.

Besides, I heard you like Mudkips.

I'm taking my DS to school tomorrow to play Diamond at lunch.

Plus, in programming, when we have images in programs, I get Pokemon pictures.
Today we had to make a "Find the pearl under the shell" game.
I got a bunch of Shellder pictures and a box shot of Pearl version.
It was snazzy.

If you did that in my college, you'd get beat the **** up.

Unless you were me.

Nobody messes with the Canadian.

Actually I'm not mocking anything. That "leetspeak" is lolcat speak and in fact the whole bible is being translated to it :) Just makes it more fun to read. And if anyone gets offended by that they must be weird fanatics.

That's leet speak, and there's no possible explanation for adding Pokemon, cheeseburgers, and "Ceiling Cat" into the Bible unless you have any intention of making fun of it. The very definition of "translate" means to translate directly into another language, not change names and context.

New story (as always), new island (as always), new trainer art (as always), and they added a fairly crappy cop-out to the touch screen: The Pokétch! (A touch-watch with various lame apps you can get throughout the game).

They also added WiFi functionality for trading and battling, but the trading system is plagued with "Lvl1 Abra for Lvl100 Charizard" offers.

And then there's Bidoof. What the HECK is HE?

The GTS is completely screwed i agree with you there, however if you offer a fair deal you often get results.

They have a fully rendered 3-d envirment which looks ten times better than the last effort.

Well, at least they didn't go Digimon with the names. Birdamon? Greymon? Seriously...

This generator (http://seventhsanctum.com/gens/digimaker.html) is scarily accurate in creating Digimon names...

They make sense.

Birdmon, he's a bird monster.

It kind of ruins it having to explain it, but oh well.

Fanboys, before you come to my house and destroy me, I didn't say they werent good/fun/or anything.
i just said they aren't really socially favored.
so being a bajillion times more popular is not to great of a feat.
but Digimon isnt selling a billion jillion copies of games, now is it?
