    Pokemon Dash

    So, my DS finally turned up. (Ironically, the day Parcelforce finally delivered it was also the day I discovered my local import store had the PokePark DS. Oh well. They're selling it for £185, and I only paid £140 for mine.) I now have Wario Ware: Touched (which is super-excellent, and will...

    DPPt/HGSS IV question?

    For the people who actually bother to work out the IVs of newly-caught or newly-hatched Pokemon - what is the minimum IV you'll accept? Do you want, say, a minimum of 15 or 20 in all stats, or maybe a minimum of 20 or 25 in only the stats that the pkmn is actually going to use, or...? Just...

    The Ultimate Team Thread

    OK, I completely misread that... I thought you meant the team couldn't have more than one Snorlax, or more than one Blissey... And I was going to ask "Do people really have teams with multiple of the same Pokemon?"! Now I need to make a team with 6 Snorlaxes or (more likely) 6 x Salamence, just...

    My new team

    Le bump, as no one seems to have noticed my last post. I'm looking for help with my Crobat moveset, as well as a few odds & ends on my other pkmn. Crobat ~Gentle nature~ (-Def +Sp Def - I chose this particular Golbat out of the many I had because it had the best IVs, and the least bad...

    Revenge is sweet

    Hmm. Just looking at Pinsir's possibilities here, and I have to admit that I have no clue what moves to give it. Its moveset seems a bit one-dimensional - mostly just Normal and Fighting moves. As other people have noted in the past, it sucks that its only possible Bug move is Fury Cutter. It's...

    Revenge is sweet

    Pokemon Forever says that the power of Revenge is doubled if the user is hit. So I'm just agreeing with the other two, really :). What other moves are you putting on Pinsir?

    R/S/E the favoured Pokemon Collection?

    I've been playing Ruby again after Sapphire, Leaf Green and Fire Red, and I have to admit that I actually prefer Ruby & Sapphire to Leaf Green and Fire Red. Ruby & Sapphire just seem to be less linear, with less parts where you HAVE to do something before something else unlocks (like finding the...

    Should I Import XD?

    I have This Plan to do an intensive Japanese course over the summer, so I'm sort of hoping I'll be able to read Japanese well enough to be able to play games by the autumn... Having said that, the part of my brain that deals with languages seems to have stopped after French, Latin & Greek - I...

    R/S/E the favoured Pokemon Collection?

    My first thought in reading any statistic based on a net poll is "Do they have some way to stop double-clicking?". Any poll that allows people to vote over and over again isn't worth the screen space, imo. Too easy for the kiddies to vote 20 or 30 times to boost their idea higher in the rankings.

    Project Rub

    Heehee! :D Actually, I've found quite a few games where I haven't been able to work out AT ALL how to do something until I've read the instruction book. Figuring out how to always throw the correct colour Pikmin was one, um... and something fairly trivial in The Ocarina of Time (can't remember...

    My new team

    Sceptile and Octillery are out for now - I haven't managed to breed a Treecko or Remoraid with decent stats. I guess I'll keep them back for Emerald. (Are the Elite Four in Emerald the same as in Ruby & Sapphire? i.e. Dark, Ghost, Ice & Dragon?) So my team is fixed at Alakazam, Scizor (who I've...

    Project Rub

    I just want my DS to turn up! Lik-Sang claimed they were getting it on May 1st... but then there was a week of public holidays in Japan. Now I'm at the stage of checking their site twice a day to see if it's in yet *hyperventilates*. Project Rub and XX/XY both disturb me immensely. I can't...

    The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

    I still haven't seen it (*mumble* *mumble* boyfriends who forget to get tickets for cast & crew screenings *mumble*). I will have an opinion after I've actually seen it :roll:.

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Teaser (Minor Spoilers)

    It's not even THAT old - 1971? There's been a lot of remakes recently - The Italian Job and Alfie to name but two. Apparently the kids of today don't want to watch anything made before they were born, or something :roll:.

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Teaser (Minor Spoilers)

    My partner R works for a film company in London, so he tends to work on all the major live action releases (HP3, Troy, King Arthur, Hitch-Hiker's to name but 4). I asked him if he has any "you didn't hear it from me" information about HP4, but he doesn't. He said the reason the trailer has...

    DPPt/HGSS Bellossom or Vileplume + Movesets? Help!

    Heh. Thanks for the compliment. You do realise that everything I know about Pokemon strategy I learned from you? ;) You were the person who got me out of the mentality of giving everything STAB, and taught me that I needed to think about my Pokemon's weaknesses and find moves to cover those...

    DPPt/HGSS Bellossom or Vileplume + Movesets? Help!

    Vileplume and Bellossom are a bit annoying because they only learn Grass, Poison or Normal moves - nothing else that uses the Sp Atk stat. So it's difficult to take advantage of Vileplume's high Sp Atk stat without putting multiple Grass moves on. As for the Sunny Day + Chlorophyll ability...

    Re: Pokemon Planning

    You don't get a huge amount of choice. The only two that learn it by Level Up are Bagon/Shelgon/Salamence and Altaria. Bagon learns it at lv 33 while Altaria is at lv 35, but Altaria is also much easier to catch (Bagons are found wild in a really small part of the game). It's annoying that...

    What do you think of the Forums' New Look?

    I like 'em - my problem was with the pixellatedness of the others, not the concept...

    Re: Pokemon Planning

    Heh - I didn't know much about Pokemon until a few months ago, when I started coming here. My original Gardevoir moveset was: Calm Mind Confusion :oops: Psychic Reflect :shock: I pretty much only used attacks of the same type as the Pokemon to get the Same Type Attack Bonus, and I wouldn't use...
