    Teh Drawings of Firefox

    I know I commented on various artworks before the forum went *poof*, but I can't remember what I said :-[. I do really love the chibis, especially the choice of Pokemon for particular people: Nem as chibi-Scizor is awesome, Figs makes the only cute Dragonite I've ever seen, and I'm amused by...

    STAB, explained

    I had a PM asking me to explain STAB, the Same Type Attack Bonus, as apparently I'm the "only one" who actually knows how much moves get boosted by. I doubt that, but thought I might as well write a proper explanation for anyone else who's wondering. STAB is a 50% boost to a move's power when...

    DPPt/HGSS My team for a Wifi RP

    Explain to me how your roleplaying rules work in more detail? When you say "we can only use moves from 3rd gen or before", does that mean you can only use moves that already existed in the game, or that you can only use moves that already existed in that Pokemon's moveset? I know that quite a...

    DPPt/HGSS Arg! Me Manaphy needs a Moveset!

    Now, I know I replied to this and it got eaten in the database loss >:(. Did you sort out a good moveset in the end? I'd like to see it.

    The Wide Lens

    Hmm, that's not altogether true. A 10% boost means that the original accuracy is multiplied by 1.1, or 110%. An attack with 90% accuracy will become 90 x 1.1 = 99% accurate. Near enough to 100% that you should hardly ever notice it fail, but in practice, far enough away that you may see it...

    DPPt/HGSS >> I need a 3rd-gen Breloom set.

    Blargh. I replied to this, and it got eaten when THAT HACKER decided to wipe the entire forum database. Grrr >:(. I think what I suggested was - assuming that you don't have access to Fire Red/ Leaf Green Move Tutors: 1. Leech Seed / Giga Drain - GRASS 2. Brick Break / Sky Uppercut - FIGHTING...

    Real-life news: The situation in Burma

    It depends on the petition, really, doesn't it? This petition is on the official 10 Downing Street website and will go directly to Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Well, to a bunch of civil servants who handle his incoming email, but near enough. Not all petitions are a waste of time. The "Support...

    Real-life news: The situation in Burma

    Haven't had time to update any of the forums with the latest news from Burma - there's too much of it! Instead, I've set up a specific political journal for it: Burmablog. It's over at GreatestJournal, because I want to try it out in case SixApart gets any more evil and I decide to leave...

    Real-life news: The situation in Burma

    Currently, this is the top story on the BBC's news site: Burma's military leaders have imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the main cities Rangoon and Mandalay. Armed troops have now been deployed. As well as the night-time curfew there is also a ban on "gatherings of more than 5 people". Whatever...

    Real-life news: The situation in Burma

    I don't often make political posts, let alone posts about the politics of another country. But the situation in Burma makes all the trivial crap of my life seem really unimportant. I doubt many of you know much about Burma - as far as you're concerned, it's a random country in Asia, sandwiched...

    DPPt/HGSS Items & Berries Wanted / For Trade

    Yeah, I think so. If a person trades me a Pokemon that I'm using solely for breeding and won't play, I don't care what it's named. But if I'm planning to actually train the Pokemon, I like to be able to name it, which means it needs to have me as the Original Trainer. Of course, I then...

    And yet more from XD: Matron Tulon: Perhaps I'll let my POKEMON give me a massage with their ELECTRIC moves. Casual Guy Ebzor: I wonder if there's a POKEMON out there that can reduce a TRAINER's weight?

    Pokemon XD, before the last Shadow Pokemon: Miror Peon Folly: Oh, Boss! The way you gyrate is the greatest! Shake, shake, shake! Shake it! Wanderer Miror B: I, I, I! Want you! Want you! Huh?! Stop the music! Let me wind down the music and take a look! Oh, you are! You are that...

    Snapdragon's Sprites

    Wow. I love the Leafeon, and the Pikachu. Although I disagree with Xanthier. To me it looks more thoughtful, or slightly scared - perhaps it just found an injured powerful Pokemon, and it wants to help, but is afraid of being attacked? The Xanthier mugshot & Snapdragon with pencil are great -...

    The Sprites of Hypotenuse Man

    I love the way how pretty much everyone who commented on the Banhammer is now banned :o. Eeek. The Phoenix Wright & Black Mage sprites are great. Can't exactly comment on the sprite of you due to not knowing what you look like (and sprites aren't generally 100% true likenesses anyway!). The...

    Cryptopokeology

    I like Vassie and Bellrung. I'm not sure "like" is really the right term for the Oreburgh demon, Canalave monster and golBATBOY. They're well-done, but too scary to like! ;D

    The stuff Rayn decided to put here.

    Heh, I like your Paper Mario-style sprites. Haven't seen sprites like that before (I've seen the game, obviously). I think I'd like to see any other Pokemon you choose in that style. If you're looking for ideas, you could try any or all of: Poochyena, Mightyena, Bayleef, Snorlax, Octillery...

    DPPt/HGSS My Pearl Team

    OK, Raiq - looking at the 10 Pokemon you've mentioned again, I think I'd go for a team as follows: 1. Vaporeon 2. Flareon 3. Roserade 4. Lucario 5. Staraptor 6. Gardevoir / Infernape / ?? These Pokemon have a reasonable mix of types, with both physical & special attackers. I wish Marriland's...
