For anything Pokemon related. Games, fanfiction, anime for those of you who might read it, maybe post Pokemon-related pictures that you like...

Don't forget the super-duper-awesometacular Pokemon Special/Adventures manga :D

In any case, I've been playing Pokemon White so far, I'm at 139/150 of the 'obtainable' Unova Pokemon so far. What really ticks me off is that Game Freak really screwed over White players, since no trainer in the game has a Vullaby or Mandibuzz, so you have to manually trade over WiFi for one of them as opposed to just going on the GTS since you can't get it as 'seen' in your Pokedex. The same goes for Thundurus and Tornadus not being seen at all in the opposition version.

Been reading/playing the nuzlocke challenge on leafgreen. The comic is funny, the challenge is frustrating. <a href='http://www.nuzlocke.com/?p=4' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://www.nuzlocke.com/?p=4</a>

I shall grace this lowly topic with my supreme presence, for a time.

What do you wish to speak of, peasant? The strength/weakness of types perhaps?

I need to finish up my game of SoulSilver. No game is complete without the final epic showdown with Pokemon Trainer Red at the top of Mt. Silver.

I've been pondering various fanfic ideas for a while.

My favorite starters...
GenI/Kanto: the Charmander line, tough as it has it for the first two gyms and as screwed as I think it got with Charizard being Fire/Flying instead of Fire/Dragon

GenII/Johto: the Totodile line. I hate the Chikorita line and the only member of the Cyndaquil line I particularly like is the middle stage (Quilava)

GenIII/Hoenn: the Torchic line, by far.

GenIV/Sinnoh: I liked all the starters this generation

GenV/Unova: maybe the Tepig line, but even on it I'm kind of tepid. The fact that Tepig evolves into a Fire/Fighting type, meaning the Fire starter becomes Fire/Fighting three straight generations, was really annoying. Its design just screamed Fire/Dark IMO, but they chose not to go there.

I want next gen's 3rd stage starts to be able to have their secondary typings allow each Pokemon to beat the other two

there was one set of typings I think where that worked perfectly, with a Fire/Fighting type. Everything else doesn't line up perfectly.

I've wanted for a while now to write a fic where Red doesn't meet Team Rocket stealing fossils in Mt. Moon and so doesn't have a negative opinion of them when he is offered the job at Nugget Bridge. Then as he travels the world working under Giovanni he is constantly hounded by Blue who is determined to drag his friend from TR's clutches for his own good.

I wonder if the third game of current generation (There will be one. There's always one.) will be for DS or if they'll make it for the 3DS.

I'd read it. A damn nice idea, it is. ^_^

I think it may be DS, but with some features that can only be done when it's in a 3DS unit (like how some GB games will have color palettes in a GBC, or how Oracle of Ages and Seasons had a couple of things you could only do playing it with a GBA).

There are too few Pokemon fics that even had an interesting premise, period, let along good Pokemon fics.

And too few SpecialShipping fics, too. RedxYellow 4eva

If anyone happens to still be playing through the B/W storyline...

Don't beat the Elite Four for the first time at lv50. After the story finishes, enemy trainers will be bumped to lv67 and you either have to level by fighting against them, or grinding Victory Road for pitiful EXP.

or you could just Audino Grind on what I think is Route 17

On a side note, I managed to get Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald together today for $25.

A steal, I know. Along with the sealed copy of Persona 3 with artbook for $25. Now that was a steal.

Or just battle wild lvl 60 pokemon at the newly opened routes, which give about 4000exp. And defeating lvl 67 pokÚmon isn' really hard: type advantage ftw!

Route 17 is one of the newly opened routes.

I know, it was as a reaction to grinding on victory road. And Audino grinding can take a lot of time, easier to just defeat the normal pokemon there. They give plenty of experience, especially with the lucky egg.

well, considering I've only got two evolution lines left to evolve and a few other random 'mons to grab before I can finally complete my Unova pokedex, I'm not too worried. After that, I consider Pokesav fair game to catch 'em all.

Although what really pissed me off this gen is that only a handful of Pokemon finish fully evolving under the level of 40.

Really? I didn't notice. Only one that I use which evolved so late are metagross and hydreigon, but that's to be expected.

I am currently Nuzlocking all my games in an attempt to make a saga. From gen 3 to 5. I have completed the actual games of all but Black so far and I'm just a day or 2 away from that. While I've done the game it'll take a while to make the comic.
