    Weird things about Pokemon

    This is a somewhat SPAMmish post. Short, Pointless, and Annoying. It doesn't add anything to the thread, and it isn't even funny. (We don't *have* wizards in the Pokemon universe!). You can do better. Consider yourself warned.

    Favorite Region

    Me too. All of this. I was disappointed with Fire Red & Leaf Green because Sapphire was the first Pokemon game I played, so I was expecting FR & LG to be similar in scope. But the Kanto region is so simplistic in layout - with the bolt-on Sevii Islands which are more annoying than anything else...

    Heart Gold/Soul Siver: Which will you be buying?

    For me, it depends on the version exclusives. It may be like Emerald, where you are unable to trade Pokemon that aren't in the Johto Dex before you've beaten the Elite Four. So I'd want to go for the game that had my favourite Pokemon in. Assuming that everything else is even, though, I'd...

    Chikorita. 'Cos Alex will kill us all if we don't ;D.

    Weird things about Pokemon

    You mean like this? I *heart* Awkward Zombie. It's a comic about video games, mainly Nintendo ones plus occasional World of Warcraft :D.

    Most annoying Pokemon

    Only in Red and Blue? I seem to recall an astonishingly large number of Zubat and Geodude in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum too ;D. What I really don't understand is how you can come across Geodude in a grassy field. I mean, wouldn't you notice that there was a large, alive boulder thing before you...

    Those crazy game sprites

    What in hells is that? Kabuto? I was ranting on irc the other night about a trainer that I fought in Platinum - Veteran someone or other. In the overworld sprite (the cute chibi sprite with oversized head that you see as you walk around), he's an old man with a bald head and long white beard...

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

    That's why I never use release ;D. I'm too afraid of accidentally releasing someone important and then not noticing and saving. As a result I have boxes upon boxes of whichever the useless Pokemon of that particular game is. A? A?! What is this A you're talking about? Doesn't everyone know...

    Is there someone special in your life?

    On the basis that I'm ancient, I've been with my partner for longer than some of you kids have even been alive. And we are still soppy enough to make our friends nauseated on occasion ;). Seriously, romantic relationships take a lot of work. A lot of talking, communication - finding out what...

    DPPt/HGSS Need backup team for Platinum

    I think it's a cut and paste error :). I think it should say: This build is pretty straight forward Waterfall over Surf because Swampert has a higher Atk stat than SpA. Earthquake for STAB. Avalanche for Ground coverage and the last move is basically a hard hitting move and Ice coverage. Rock...

    DPPt/HGSS rate my team please

    Um... I think before we even start criticising, you need to read the sticky message at the top of the forum called Explanation: Basics to a Competitive Team. Basic problems with your team: 1. You only have three Pokemon! (OK, you admit you need to improve that). 2. Your levels are all over the...

    DPPt/HGSS Come one, come all, this team needs improvement

    Are you battling as 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2? Some of the things you've said make me think 2 on 2 but it would be useful to know for sure. I'm a big fan of Swagger on your own Pokemon plus a Persim berry ;). To be honest, I don't understand why anyone would want to use Swagger on an enemy - some...

    DPPt/HGSS Pearl Team advice

    I disagree with GodlessM, actually. Your team covers a wide range of Types and, if trained properly, could be excellent. I don't know about anyone else, but personally I tend to start with one Pokemon and end up with a team of three or four, plus two HM slaves (one for Flying/Defog, one for...

    DPPt/HGSS Simple Team Help

    The first thing you want to do is to remove most of your HMs from your team. Staraptor certainly needs to lose Fly - it's a two-turn move and useless in comparison to Aerial Ace. Personally, I feel that Aerial Ace, which never misses is superior to Brave Bird, which can miss if the opponent is...

    Hardest Video Game(s)

    Wow, do I get to feel clever because I finished Pikmin? ;) The games I find hardest are the ones that require fast reflexes. I am useless at the Sonic and Mario games that most other people here love, find them frustrating and just plain don't bother. I'm also bad at games that involve "too...

    Do you think they should have a new protagonist for the anime?

    I was wondering when someone was going to mention Chronicles. I'd like to see more episodes made like them, focusing on one of the characters who isn't Ash. It would definitely help with the Ash-and-Pikachu overkill feeling. Also, I'd like it if the characters visibly aged occasionally.

    Most disturbing/scariest boss in a video game

    For me, bosses are scary or disturbing if they are ridiculously powerful for the game. In Pikmin and Pikmin 2, there are huge incredibly powerful robot-spider things which run rampant and can squash most of your Pikmin in a single move. Their design is not scary in itself (unless you are afraid...

    Your favorite Game Soundtracks?

    "Tea Parties"

    I think this topic is rather out of date so I'm locking it - start a new thread if you really want to continue the discussion. It might break your brains if I point out that left-wing Americans are positively right-wing compared to most Europeans. So imagine what we think of right-wing Americans?

    Have you ever met a celebrity?

    JON MOSS IS YOUR UNCLE?! :o If you're serious, then I'm really impressed! Culture Club were my favourite band in the world when I was a little kid. Then I got into a-ha, then Bon Jovi, then Skid Row, then the Wildhearts... music progressively getting heavier, hehe. I've met lots of people in...
