    Why does the .jp region get all the cool stuff?

    Seen on eBay: Pikmin 1 & 2 set with mini figures and t-shirt. This is just one of the many cool pieces of licensed game merchandise that I've seen coming from Japan, Hong Kong or Korea - to say nothing of the games they get. How many .jp region games actually make it out in the NorAm or European...

    My friend went to the Pokemon Center and all I got was...

    ...quite a lot, actually. Let's see: 12 pencils, all with the same design featuring Pikachu, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Groudon, Corphish, Combusken and Ludicolo arranged down the length of it (and a small white patch near the top for you to write your name on) a set of 3...

    Place your bets for the Most Useless Pokemon Ever. The choices are: The Pokemon that can only Splash - Magikarp and Feebas The Pokemon that can only Harden (unless you raised them from caterpillars) - Cascoon, Silcoon, Metapod and Kakuna The Pokemon that can only Teleport - Abra The Pokemon...

    For the Animal Crossing fans...

    Because it's 2.30am and we're having surreal thoughts... Is Sudowoodo a Gyroid? :).

    DPPt/HGSS Earthquake or Magnitude?

    I have one particular pkmn who I want to have a Ground attack, but only one. I have the choice of using Earthquake or Magnitude, and I can't decide which one to pick. Earthquake is more powerful on average: it has a fixed power of 100. But it only has 10 PP. Magnitude can vary in power from 10...

    DPPt/HGSS Foresight (a.k.a. More "Information" from Prima)

    According to the Prima Pokedex, the move Foresight doesn't just guarantee that your next move will hit. Apparently, it also makes Fighting and Normal-type attacks effective against Ghost pokemon!? Any truth in it?

    DPPt/HGSS Moves that do the same damage as the user's level

    In an attempt to cut down the waffle and just ask my question: Those moves like Night Shade and Seismic Toss, that take N HP off the foe (where N is your pokemon's current level) - are they worth keeping? 'Cos when your pkmn is level 50, they'll take 50 HP off, and when it's level 100, they'll...

    "Ultimate" Pokemon Contest

    Waah, waah, waah. There is an "ultimate Pokemon contest" over at Prima Games, and you have to be a resident of the US or Canada to enter. Not Fair. Just look at the prizes. Bastards.

    "Information" from the Prima Pokedex

    Stuff from The Book: Yanking a Pikachu's tail is never a good idea. Beside the fact that it can be an electrifying experience, it's also prone to deliver a nasty bite. (And Pikachu learns Bite when, exactly?) Bulbasaur always has its lunch with it, thanks to the photosynthetic bulb on its...

    The Pokedex Collector's Edition

    I have A Book. Specifically, I went into my local video games emporium on Sunday to purchase something (I was thinking of Pikmin 2 or Donkey Konga), and I found A Book. It is one of those Prima guides but so much cooler than most of them. It is the Pokemon Pokedex Collector's Edition. It is...

    Munchlax

    So, various Pokemon sites are reporting that Gonbe (pre-evolution of Snorlax)'s English name is going to be Munchlax. Good name, or not? You know how most Pokemon names are bad puns? Well, drugs companies also come up with cutesy bad-pun names for their products when they become available over...

    DPPt/HGSS Moves that can hit you while you're off-screen...?

    Firstly, apologies for the terrible title. I couldn't think of a way to express what I'm trying to ask about in one short sentence. There are some Pokemon attacks - like Dig, Fly and Dive - where you go "elsewhere" for one turn (into the air, ground or water). This is a useful battle technique...

    What's the deal with Gengar?

    I am very confused. I traded a Haunter from LG to FR and it evolved into a Gengar. So far so good. But what are these stats? Attack 35, Sp Atk 65 (at level 21)?! Haunter & Gengar are type Ghost/Poison - which both use the normal Attack stat. I checked out the movesets to see what kind of moves...
