    "Cheats" so bad they make the baby Jesus cry...

    I think you're giving him/her FAR too much credit :). And yeah, I used that strategy myself - the one you refer to, not the one in that quote :). The main problem I had was more about getting Lati@s down to a sliver of health without knocking it out, rather than not being able to find him/her...

    Breeding

    The really sad thing is I can't even remember now why I wanted to use Bubblebeam :?. I *think* it's because I was trying not to give Surf to every single possible pkmn, because it's "cheap". The problem is, Surf is by far the best Water move. It has: power 95 - which goes up to 142.5 with STAB...

    Strange American buildings

    Apparently, these are all genuine: American oddities. I like the office block shaped like a picnic basket...

    Pikachu's Great Adventure (Aka. Trip to China)

    Not sure why you put that in the OT forum - I think Pikachu travel definitely qualifies as Pokemon Chat :D v cute pictures. I *heart* the Pokemon aeroplane. v jealous of your sister/s (well, at least the youngest one won't remember it :)).

    "Cheats" so bad they make the baby Jesus cry...

    Let's have a poll: Most utterly appalling, useless and/or plain incorrect "cheat" on this page? Note this poll contains sarcasm and swearing. Read at own risk :twisted:. The choices are: Black Zabut (sic) - well, I suppose it is within the realms of possibility that if you have a Rayquaza as...

    Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green Gameshark & Action Rep

    Give us a chance - 6 hours is hardly long enough for people to have read the post... :shock: But, I think you may have problems asking here in the first place, because most of us are Pokemon purists, and consider things like Action Replay cheating. iirc, I think the few people who do use...

    Breeding

    My brane hurts :(. Trying to figure out how to get a Poliwag with both Bubblebeam and Ice Ball. To get Bubblebeam, I need to breed a Poliwag (f) with: Marill, Azumarill, Corsola, Remoraid, Octillery, Mantine, Surskit, Corphish or Crawdaunt (m) but to get Ice Ball, I need to breed a Poliwag...

    Anime mispronunciations

    Wait... are you saying that Poochyena is pronounced "Pooch-hi-ehn-ah" in the anime? (and in Japanese?). I hadn't heard them mentioned (still waiting for the rest of my DVDs to turn up :x). Well, if that's the case, I suppose I can live with "Might-y-ehn-ah" 8). I still regard Gyarados'...

    Pikachu cartoon

    A friend of mine has drawn a cartoon and thinks you should all see it: Pokemon Storm. Warning: contains the word "arse" :twisted:. The site in general also contains gratutious speeling mistooks (he is very badly dyslexic to the point of not even being consistent with his misspellings), but you...

    Anime mispronunciations

    As the Who watched Kids WB Premiere? thread seems to have diversified into moaning about strange pronunciations of Pokemon names in the anime, I thought it deserved a whole topic to itself :P. Exhibit 1: The Team Aqua/Team Magma episodes: How do you pronounce hyena? Poochyena is pretty clearly...

    STAB and HIDDEN POWER

    iirc, in FR/LG you can get a lot of TM10s from using Pokemon with the Pickup ability. Meowth is the native pkmn with Pickup, or you could trade over a Zigzagzoon, Linoone or Phanpy from Ru/Sa. Pickup Pokemon are more likely to pick up objects if they like you a lot, so leave them in your party...

    The MMOG topic

    I avoid NeoPets like the plague, because enough people have described it as "The Sims crossed with Pokemon" for me to NEED to stay away for sanity reasons! I really don't need a new addiction, I really don't... I stopped playing the MUD I used to play because I got sick of other people (who...

    Your Worst Mistake Ever (in gaming)

    Funnily enough, most of my stupid things in gaming also involve accidentally deleting saved games :shock:. There was a bug in some releases of the (grey) Playstation in Europe, whereby if you copied a save game from slot B to slot A, the file would just get deleted - on BOTH of the cards! That...

    Favourite Nintendo system?

    I love the SP. I never really got into portable gaming before. When I started to get really into console games, I bought a Game Boy Color - but the screen was only visible if I sat directly under a lamp or used one of those stupid worm lights (which only illuminated part of the screen). So it...

    Top 10 Fave Pokemon Songs - English or Japanese?

    I have a least favourite, if that helps: "They Don't Understand" by Dream Street. Everything about it is completely sucky: a) it's about adolescence, not Pokemon. If you look at the lyrics, the Pokemon bits are just thrown into a generic teenage angst song. b) it says that adults couldn't ever...

    Who watched Kids WB Premiere? Or, who lives in the US? :-P

    I haven't watched enough of the anime to make a complete list of mispronunciations that get on my nerves, but in what I've seen so far, the REALLY big annoyance is Gyarados being pronounced as "Gary-dose". It's just so wrong! It's like pronouncing nuclear as "nucular" or foliage as "foilage"...

    How much of your life have you spent playing Pokemon?

    Inspired by this thread, how many hours have you spent playing Pokemon? I think for me it's, roughly: Sapphire - 115 hours Ruby - 45 hours (Game 1) + 40 hours (Game 2) + 10 minutes (Game 3) Colosseum - 70 hours (Story Mode), 30? hours (Battle Mode) Leaf Green - 80 hours Fire Red - 50 hours...

    I'm going to the Pokemon Center!

    Correction: Some of us guys can get stuff from pokemoncenter.com. If you read the small print, they will only deliver to the continental US or Canada. Which is just ridiculous - I know Nintendo (and the other games companies) are obsessed with stupid regioning of games and their perceived loss...

    DPPt/HGSS Now I need ideas for a Machamp moveset...

    So, er, how often do you restart your games? I just restarted Ruby for the third time (I have a Treecko! For the first time ever!), but it's the only one I'm actually restarting. Unless you count playing the first 5 minutes of Fire Red approximately 25 million times (or without exaggeration...
