    When can I get rid of Defog?

    So, I'm starting to think about permanent movesets for my team. (Been training the same 5 Pokemon together for 20+ levels, which is almost unheard of for me - I'm not usually this organised or decisive!). And I'm using the Move Deleter to remove the HMs that aren't actually useful in combat...

    DPPt/HGSS Items & Berries Wanted / For Trade

    I want to breed Fire Punch & ThunderPunch onto Chimchar. I have a female Monferno, now I'm looking for a male Pokemon in the Land or Humanshape egg groups that knows Fire Punch & ThunderPunch. Examples of suitable Pokemon: Abra (+ its line), Machop (+ its line), Electabuzz, Magmar. They must...

    Need some help with breeding the starters

    Hmmm. So, I restarted Diamond 20-billion times (actually, about 8 ) to get a female Turtwig, and restarted my Pearl 15 times to get a female Chimchar. Now I'd like to breed my starters to make "spares" to trade over to my friend, who is a jammy git because he started Diamond and got a female...

    DPPt/HGSS Moveset needed for Drifblim

    So... Drifblim's a pain-in-the-ass Pokemon, because none of my usual moveset strategies work. Strategy 1: Use STAB as much as possible. Easier said than done. Drifblim's Ghost/Flying. The only Flying-type attacks it learns are Gust and Fly, both of which are naff in battling (I *hate* 2-turn...

    Characteristics

    Can someone explain Characteristics to me? I've found a table on Psypoke's which says it's something to do with IVs, and Serebii has one too, but I can't make much sense out of them. Supposedly, they give the IVs of your Pokemon in the order HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense...

    Differences between 3rd & 4th gen

    Is there an FAQ somewhere that details all the differences between the 3rd and 4th generations? I already know about the Physical vs Special split and the fact eggs now hatch at level 1 instead of level 5 :P. I don't much care about new moves, because they're new and I have no expectations of...

    Wanted: Advice on evolving Chimchar

    Chimchar, or Hikozaru, is a very bizarre little Fire monkey. You know how sometimes you get a special move that you only get if you keep a pokemon in a lower evolution for a long time past the level at which it would normally evolve? And sometimes, you get a special move only if you allow the...

    Catching Drifloon / Fuwante

    Hrm, this question may well be answered by the Pokedex, but the main Pokecharms site has been eaten by the bandwidth monster and is temporarily inaccessible. I know that Drifloon / Fuwante appears outside the power station on Fridays. What I don't know is whether it appears once you've already...

    Nintendogs 2

    I got Nintendogs a few months ago - played it obsessively for a while, then put it down in favour of other things. The impression I've got from other people on the #pokecharms irc channel is that they've done much the same. Frankly, I'm not all that surprised. I was the same way with the...

    The Out of Context Thread!

    Weird, funny, or just plain obscene stuff from #pokecharms, taken entirely out of context. The only rule is don't make stuff up. Enjoy ;D. from tonight: [19:18] Elliotto: holy crap, my arm moves with awesome speed [19:18] DoctorOak: ....... [19:18] * DoctorOak sniggers [19:18] Elliotto: =p...

    Wii're not getting shafted!

    I am sitting in a cyber cafe near the Game in Oxford Street, following the announcement of the European launch of the Nintendo Wii. Apparently: It's coming out on 8th December 2006, one week after the launch in Japan It'll cost £179.99 It's coming with a free game - Wii Sports. This includes...

    DPPt/HGSS The Spheal Appeal (An IV question)

    I'm using Psypoke's "DV" calculator to try to figure out the IVs of my new hatchlings. It's not as good as the now-deceased one on Pokemon Forever, because you can't input multiple levels' worth of stats, so you have to keep checking what it thought the stats were on the previous level. But...

    The Battle Sims in XD

    Oh my God! The Battle Sim CDs! They rock! ;D I've done about 20 of them so far - the one that caused me the most trouble was the third, or maybe fourth one I did: no. 20, "Let slip the Houndoom". The problem was that I didn't have the sufficiently devious mindset required for the puzzle. I...

    Ocarina of Time question

    OK, I know it's an old game. I play the Zelda games s-l-o-w-l-y. Basically because I find them so difficult that after a couple of hours I'm throwing down the controller in frustration. Also, my friends object to the level of screaming (as monsters fall down from the ceiling - ARGH FLOOR...

    SimFreezepop

    Not quite sure why I'm bothering to share these with you, as: a) none of you know who Freezepop are and b) I don't think any of you play Sims 2 but these are my icons of SimFreezepop! I'm really proud of them :). Not least of all because I have now received comments from all three of the...

    Old Grandma Hardcore!

    Hysterically funny blog of a guy whose Grandma is an avid videogamer: Old Grandma Hardcore Be warned, Grandma's language is pretty coarse - she says "fuck" a lot! I want to be her when I grow up! Of course, by the time I'm 70, no one'll be surprised by 70 y.o. videogamers, but y'know...

    Sims 2 stories

    It just occurred to me that some of you might want to read my Sims 2 stories. They're my main creative endeavour at the moment. Actually, working on them is slowly but surely kicking the noises at the back of my head that say I can't write fiction - so it's been pretty good for me :D. I have...

    Who wants a legal Deoxys, then?

    Well, today I went to the Hunt For Deoxys thingy. It's what the UK gets instead of Nintendo Events - a crappy little stall set up in a VUE Cinema somewhere in the country. It's being jointly promoted by Jetix, whoever they are - quite what any of these companies have to do with Pokemon or...

    Sick AGAIN, damnit

    ARGH! I've been mostly healthy for the last couple of weeks. Realised that living off toast & breakfast cereal was doing me the power of no good, and invented my own ultra low fat diet, which has included such delights as fatfree chocolate brownies and pancakes made with flour & low-fat soy...

    my exciting summer - blah

    Hello, I'm back. Been having the worst summer ever. The short version is that I spent 3 nights in A&E (what 'Merkins call the ER), 4 days actually in hospital, lots of time taking antibiotics, and a few days flat on my back stoned out of my head on opiates. (This wasn't even fun, as I was still...
