• Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

    DPPt/HGSS Rate My Team, Please

    Ah. The Type and Power of Hidden Power depends on the Pokemon's hidden IV stats (that it starts with), and can only be determined if you know them :-\. It's not as easy as being a Normal-type move because it's on a Normal-type Pokemon, unfortunately. The easiest way to find out the Type of your...

    DPPt/HGSS Training Buddies

    Huh. It's an interesting idea. I suspect where it fails is simply that most people hate EV training at the best of times (it gets ever so tedious fighting nothing but Gastlys for hours on end!). What may work is to propose a temporary Pokemon trade to take advantage of the 50% EXP boost when...

    Your Favorite Game/Region!

    bl00d555, you get a warning for gravedigging. This thread was created in June by a member who isn't even here anymore! And, before your post, it was last posted in on August 17 - more than 3 months ago! That counts as "gravedigging", which is against the rules. Next time READ THE DATES of...

    The Random PokePoll Topic (61): Still watch the Anime?

    It's always sounded more like "Tsarboka" to me. "Tsar" pronounced tuh-sar (not like the Russian word tsar!) then bok-a. I could never understand why Arbok's sound had an -a at the end as well as the beginning. Hell, I hate all the dub voice actors. Could never understand why there was so much...

    DPPt/HGSS Rate My Team, Please

    Don't worry, he's been removed for his obnoxious attitude. 'Charms doesn't need the superpowered "my team is better than yours" type here. There's a reason that moveset names like Tyraniboah and Curselax are banned :). If you want to keep Mudkip and Eevee as they are, that's perfectly fine -...

    The Random PokePoll Topic (61): Still watch the Anime?

    Y'know, a couple of years ago, I bought my partner Richard a cuddly Wobbuffet for his birthday. Richard doesn't play Pokemon, but he watches the anime with me while we eat dinner. (Sometimes, my students mock me for this, and I point out that Pokemon is no more brainless than any of the soap...

    DPPt/HGSS Cresselia needed!

    twinky, that's not a particularly useful question. He said in the first post that he's looking for a Bold Cresselia with good IVs. If you meant to ask "What kind of IVs are you looking for?", you should say that. This forum isn't keen on short, annoying posts. Read the rules before posting again.

    The Insane Asylum (Updated 12-29-08)

    I do love "All Eyes". The four-eyed son is rather shocking :o. When did the eyes appear in the comic before?

    Pokemon XS - Sprite Comic

    #36 is awesome! The first two panels are hilarious. Poor Charmander & Ivysaur... I wouldn't have guessed the commander was Brock, but in retrospect it makes the whole phone call on the bridge make so much more sense, hehe. Also, I think you're right about the idea of the Gym Leaders'...

    DPPt/HGSS READ: Rules 'n' Stuff about the WiFi forum

    Just to add that it would be really quite sensible if those of you seeking trades or battles would post times when you are available, ideally in terms of GMT or UTC. Remember that this is an international site, with users from different parts of the world, and we all have different lifestyles...

    Phantom's.......crap.

    Hee! Well, my artwork really is crap. I reached my ability peak at the age of 8, and have never got any better than that. In contrast to that, our artists here are positive experts. I must say, I'm intrigued by what Megami the Lopunny is doing to Chaos in the second picture. Helping him put his...

    Best/Worst Pokemon Quotes Anywhere...

    Oooh... here's one from D/P that I wrote down but never got round to posting: "Ah, you timed your arrival well. I've just finished reading a book, you see." -- Lucian of the Elite Four. How pretentious? ;)

    The Newbie Help Topic

    My personal rule is not to post in a thread whose last activity was more than 6 weeks ago. And if you post in a thread that's more than a couple of weeks old, acknowledge this - say "I realise you might already have found out the answer to your question, but just in case other people were...

    Phantom's.......crap.

    What's the deal with Chaos having a head full of bandages? Or is it some kind of turban? Reminds me of Mr Bump, though :D. He's very cute, but I worry about his poor head. I agree with Rocket X about the abstracts - the light in them actually does hurt my eyes! (I find bright blues very painful...

    DPPt/HGSS Looking for some battles!

    Y'know, it would be really quite sensible if those of you seeking battles would post times when you are available: ideally in terms of GMT. e.g. 1: I'm around from 2-3pm on Sundays (GMT). e.g. 2: I'm around from 10-11am on Saturdays (West Coast of USA time, or GMT-8). e.g. 3: I go to bed...

    ~Shiny's new spriting museum, Read first page please~

    In your thread that got eaten due to the forum being hacked, I commented that I really like the Pichu Cosplayer. I think the problem with the Vulpix Cosplayer (and the other two sprites based on it) is that the colour of her hair and colour of her hat and colour of her tails all blend in...

    DPPt/HGSS 4th Gen Starmie needs a 4th move

    Sem asked me on IRC why I don't have Confuse Ray on Starmie, and I said that I'm not keen on moves that JUST inflict a status ailment. I'm also about 90% convinced that Pokemon have a hidden "wisdom" stat, as I find that some Pokemon confuse very easily (e.g. Machop line) and hurt themselves 2/3...

    DPPt/HGSS 4th Gen Starmie needs a 4th move

    So, I have a level 63 Starmie with Modest nature (+Sp.Atk -Attack) that I have seriously EV trained in the 3rd Gen. I believe it has 252 EVs for Sp.Atk and 100 for Speed, but I can't remember now what the spread was over Def, Sp.Def and HP. (I do remember I was scared by the typical Special...

    Wi-Fi Help

    Hrm. Well, the little Nintendo Wi-fi Connection setup booklet that came with my copy of Pearl (European) says: A blue unlocked icon means you can select that connection and test it without any additional steps. A red locked icon means you can select that connection but you will have to enter a...

    DPPt/HGSS Plapti's Post for Trading

    I'm usually around in our evenings, from 9pm onwards. Don't usually go to bed until 2am. That's GMT, so subtract as many hours from it as you need for your timings. I'm going to be around for at least another hour and a half tonight. You can look for me in the #pokecharms chat room/irc...
