    Most annoying Pokemon

    Like everyone else who has even suffered through long, non-grassy treks in original Red/Blue, the Zubat-Geodude-Tentacool trio makes me bang my head against a wall. I think I finally broke down and discovered the miracle that is sturdy Repels, but until I was alright with wasting money on such...

    Which 'Novelty' pokemon is your favourite?

    I have a healthy respect for how one Ditto has sired upwards of 200 pokemon in a single save file, for me. That said, I generally hate the novelty pokemon. Sort of feels to me like they're trying too hard to be irresistibly awesome to make up for how incredibly difficult they are to do anything...

    Your biggest mistake you've ever done in any Pokémon game?

    Not buying Emerald. "I mean, it's basically Sapphire/Ruby... and Crystal sucked next to Gold/Silver, so it's probably bad and not worth buying." One fat, happy Pearl pokedex later suspiciously absent of the things easiest to get in Emerald: why didn't I demand that version for one of my...

    DPPt/HGSS Battle Tower 1v1

    So I decided I really like the Battle Tower for when I get bored and want to hit things-- not to mention it gives me something to build teams for besides PvP battles (which I hate and loathe and augh.) So I made another team. Before I'd finished even breeding my last one. /selfsigh Breloom@Wide...

    DPPt/HGSS A Scizor Situation

    Is its ability Technician or Swarm? That makes something of a difference. If it's Swarm: Iron Head (scyther doesn't learn, scizor learns at lv53) X-Scissor (both at lv41) Brick Break/Night Slash (TM31/both at lv45) Swords Dance (both at lv57) If it's Technician consider Aerial Ace or Wing...

    DPPt/HGSS The Neverending Cyndaquil Giveaway (D/P)

    Goes bump in the not-really-night! Updated because the old wanted list was old.

    DPPt/HGSS My Wi-fi Battle Team

    My only advice is that in general if you're making a single sort of sweeper (ie 4 physical attacks or 4 special attacks) use either Adamant (+atk - sp. atk) or Modest (+sp. atk -atk) natures-- even sweepers use their defense stats sometimes. Obviously if somebody more experienced thinks this is...

    DPPt/HGSS Double, Double, Toil and Trouble

    I'd forgotten that bit about Rock Slide. askjfoe. This is why I like to run teams past other people... thank you for reminding me. I'll try to decide whether I can stomach less accuracy for a severe power boost-- hitting 2 things at once isn't much of a pro for me, but ewww lower accuracy. Knew...

    DPPt/HGSS The Neverending Cyndaquil Giveaway (D/P)

    Updated March 4th to reflect my remorse for not buying Emerald back in the day.

    DPPt/HGSS Double, Double, Toil and Trouble

    I'm not happy if I'm not theorycrafting teams, I swear. Anyways, this set is for the single-player double battles in the Battle Tower. Guess the theme! Pair #1: Tyranitar + Cacturne Tyranitar@Wide Lens Adamant -Rock Slide -Crunch -Earthquake -Ice Claw/Dragon Fang Cacturne@Lax Incense...

    I need volt tackle help

    After how much time I've spent in the Trophy Garden trying to nab Lucky Eggs, I figured I should share my technique. Works for pretty much all items, mind you. How To Farm Items You will need: a fainted pokemon with the ability Compound Eyes (increases chance enemy will be holding an item if...

    DPPt/HGSS Toxicroak

    I'd consider Earthquake for the 4th, since it's cheap but powerful. And you can't really get a better way to cover your sore spot for Ground moves-- best you can do is find something without penalties against it, unless I missed something. I'd also consider swapping Shadow Ball for a physical...

    DPPt/HGSS Feedback Please!

    Definitely, definitely want more opinions on these movesets before I start breeding. (Most persuasive argument for buying an AR: free TMs! No more insane breeding dances required! Oh, how I am tempted.) Weavile Adamant Night Slash Ice Punch Shadow Claw Aerial Ace 2 for STAB, 2 for coverage and...

    Fears and phobias

    -Sharp/pointy things: needles, knives, swords, razor blades, etc. Not A Fan. Visits to the doctor and crafts projects are fun, mhm. -Fire: I even have trouble with matches 'cause I'm so worried about burning myself. (Amusingly enough, I had a friend a few years ago whose favorite things were...

    Flames/Hate mail?

    I'll admit, one of the best things about playing an MMO is it's a crash course in eDrama-- in the unlikely event that you're never personally subjected to it, you'll still probably get to watch several friends end up in flame wars, weird anonymous mudslinging, the whole nine yards. Myself...

    Your Pokemon Mistakes

    Best mistake I can remember so far is not deleting the old file on my Pearl after I'd decided I wanted to start over, and then getting a female Piplup. "Woohoo, it's a she!" "Ack! SAVE, SAVE!!" "Yes yes of course! *cannot save, there is an old file* ............" Of course, to follow this up, I...

    Shinies: First ever, ones you want, have seen, or own

    /pat, same boat here. I'm finally up to a grand total of three shinies though: a larvitar (which I'm 99% sure is hacked, bleh), and then a... glameow and mantyke? Huh? Definitely the oddest trades I've gotten over the GTS so far. Too bad that mantyke and glameow are almost identical to their...
