^You sure? I mean in the anime, yeah, Electric attacks work on Rock type, but in the game versions too? I'm not totally convinced yet until I've seen it, going to look around.

This ticks me off, my GameStop store had only 1 DSi Action Replay left and when I go to the store today it was gone so I have to order online for one. Good grief, have to add an extra $7 for it now.

And the employee said that the new firmware for the DSi makes the Action Replay useless and have been discontinued. Is he serious? Well I have the DS Lite so I'm not trouble plus hackers will get around it eventually.



Going to be a while before I can check my Pokemon's IV and EV stats. >_>



EDIT: I looked it up, I was wrong. Rock-types can be affected by Electric attacks. That's interesting and good to know.
I'll have to take a look at what Pokemon is a Rock type without Ground type as its secondary type.

I thought I read somewhere that you can get a Spirit Tomb from the Poke Walker at a certain area. I'll look into that.
And I would switch out Sableye for Spirit Tomb if I got Spirit Tomb, plus I don't have any Sableye at all. Time to go feel the Pokedex.


Yeah after posting about the Aerodactly, it was a bad choice since it weak to Electric type attacks because of its Flying Type even though it's a Rock Type if I remember if that's right. A Metagross? I guess I'll add him for my Fully Evolved Team and have its pre-evolved form as my Basic/2nd Form Team.

Basic/2nd Form Team

*CHARMELEON
*PIKACHU
*WARTORTLE
*RIOLU
*METANG
*SPIRIT TOMB

Fully Evolved Team

*CHARIZARD
*BLASTOISE
*RAICHU
*METAGROSS
*LUCARIO
*SPIRIT TOMB

Okay since I know you are going to EV train I highly recommend you get an Action Replay.  The Action Replay not only gives you the items you need but you can actually check your EV/IVs with it too.  And I like Wartortle better than Marshstomp since it has better Defense and it won't get murdered by Grass type moves as easily as Marshstomp plus it's not as much work if later on you do want to evolve your pokemon.  Teach it Special moves and if you're lucky enough to get a Female teach and Male compatiple pokemon Mirror Coat and Sludge and breed like the wind.

Also I'm serious about replacing the Sableye with Spirit Tomb.

I can't update my old v1 Action Replay because the cable doesn't work anymore and my other v1.6 Action Replay I busted somehow when using a code in a game, can't remember which, so I cannot add any games as there's "no free space" but I have no game lists in it anymore. Oh well, but I'm going to my local GameStop today to buy the DSi Action Replay, this Action Replay works on the original and Lite DS's right? Plus I'm going to re-buy Sapphire version as I somehow lost all my Pokemon Gameboy Advance games... all I got left are the original Red version, Yellow, Gold, Silver, FireRed, Diamond, and Pearl.

I lost LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Platinum versions and I lost my Blue version a long time ago as I gave it to someone on the bus years ago in Elementary School to play my game a bit and when I went over to get it back she didn't had it anymore and didn't know where it was. What the heck!? I give it to you for alike 10 to 20 mins and you lost it on a bus!? Well I never let that girl burrow my stuff again unless I was close by keeping a watch.

It sucks that all that hours of hard work were wasted. Weird thing is this only happens to me with Pokemon, it's like a curse with me losing my Pokemon games.



Anyway, sorry for the rant, the Spirit Tomb does have good defense that helps a lot but how do I get one? What Pokemon should I trade with to get one? Until I get a Spirit Tomb, I'll find a Sableye until then.

After I build this team I'll build a team of Fully Evolved Pokemon. That Charizard build is a very nice one, and I thank you for that Sakura.
Still can't figure out what to do for a 6th Member... how about Aerodactyl? That a good?

My honest opinion is they probably wouldn't get very far, especialy if your planning to go through the Battle Frotier or fight trainers who have pokemon that they've EV trained.  I mean why do you think Ash loses the Pokemon League all the time? 

Plus the move sets for your Pokemon don't really go well with what they do best.  Take your Charmeleon for example: most of the moves you're teaching him are Physical the moves he does better with are special moves the problem is since you're limiting yourself to not evolving them fully they also can't learn the best moves for them.  The moves I recomemend for Charmeleon are Flamethrower, Dragon Rage, Ancient Power, and Toxic since those are the most powerful special moves it can learn, Toxic will be a big annoyance to your opponent, and if you're lucky Ancient Power can raise all your stats.

Now lets compare that to a full grown Charizard that can learn even more moves.   The moves set I would make for him would be Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse, Solar Beam, and Sunny Day.  Flamethrower gets STAB, Dragon Pulse can take care of Dragons threataning to kill an Ice type with a Fire type move and Sunny Day and Solar Beam combined with Charizard's high Speed can destroy all his weaknesses except electric if you use Sunny on your first turn.

Marshstomp is better with Physical moves but if you did evolve it it's a hell of a lot of work to do.  Riolu, since you're not planning to evolve it is okay since his Physical is better than his special but if you did evolve him it's special gets much better but his Physical is still high so you can make him either way.  Pikachu can go either way evolution or no evolution.

Now the biggest problem is Sableye, out of all the pokemon that can't evolve it's probably one of the worst.  Granted he has no weakness and he's a little better with Physical attacks his stats suck so bad that he can't put anything to good use.  Spirit Tomb is a much better pokemon since his stats are better but mostly even so there is a lot you can do with customization.  Plus your team really really needs the defense he can give.

Now for the sixth you can cover your pokemon well but I think you might need some Omph with attack or defense with that since they are severly weak but honestly I can't think of anything since you seriously love to to restrict your self a lot so I don't think I can help you at all, good luck dude you need all the help you can get.

I see, that's very interesting. I guess I need to look at their base stats first, but with a helpfully nature I can get more points to a certain for the moves no? Plus IV also helps in that area.

I have never done any IV/EV Training and this will be the first time doing it.



The reason I'm restricting myself to these type of Pokemon as I wanted to make the best Base/2nd Form Team instead of Fully Evolved Pokemon and EV train them to the best of their abilities. Going to take a long time to get them where I want. Originally Mew and Darkrai were going to be on my team and originally a Wartortle instead of a Marshtomp and I didn't plan on adding Sableye until later.

I want to build a powerful team from some unlikely group of Pokemon, but this is for battling other trainers and such.


Also I didn't have a Mudkip and to get a Marshtomp I need a Mudkip to breed and evolve and I finally got one from a trade. Right now I'm breeding some Pokemon, right now Eevee and evolving them into their different forms, to trade away for other Pokemon. I need to build my Pokedex, I hate how you can't find a Pokemon you want on GTS without seeing it first.


And thank you Sakura, I'll look to change some moves on my Pokemon.

Because of my computer freezing on me yesterday that data I put into making my team was gone so now I have to remember what they were. Going to Bulbapedia to re-search the moves again.

CHARMELEON
*Flamethrower
*Dragon Claw
*Thunder Punch (Tutor)
*Brick Break

PIKACHU
*Thunderbolt
*Brick Break
*Double Team
*Dig

SABLEYE
*Shadow Ball
*Zen Headbutt
*Aerial Ace
*Double Team

MARSHTOMP
*Blizzard
*Muddy Water
*Superpower (Tutor)
*Protect

RIOLU
*Focus Blast
*Shadow Claw
*Earthquake
*Sword Dance


I did not know Charmeleon could learn Thunder Punch from the Tutor guy, very nice and convenient. Sheesh I can't remember what I originally had for them, but I got at least 3 out of the 4 moves for all of them (Charmeleon and Riolu I'm not totally sure yet).

I planning on making a team of only Base and 2nd Form, no Final Form evolution except for Sableye who doesn't evolve. I want to see how far I go with this team. Trying to add in some support moves that greatly help my team in any situation or fight off enemies they're weak to.

I have all 131 Pokemon in my Pokedex so far, all three Kanto, Johto Starters, Treeko and Torchic, a bunch of Pikachus because of the PokeWalker, Bonsly Female, Safari Pokemon (Tauros and Kangaskahn Female), Clefairy, Hitmonchan and Hitmontop, and pretty much most of the common Pokemon.

Anyone have a Mudkip I can trade for? That's the only Hoenn Starter Pokemon I don't have, I'll trade it with my Torchic or other Pokemon if you like.

SoulSilver FC: 2665-4308-6166


After collecting a certain amount of Pokemon I'm going to build my ideal Pokemon, but I have no idea what to do for the 6th member of my team. Making sure there's no Legendaries in my team, but I'm stuck on that part. Have no what good Grass, Flying, or Normal type Pokemon to add to my team and I can't seem to find a good Dragon type with good defense against its secondary weakness.

I'll figure it out eventually.

Luck also plays a big role a battle, and boy that must've been epic when that happened! ^_^


Well I finally got off my lazy butt and started off where I left off in Soul Silver getting the Boulder Badge, Volcano Bagde, and Earth Badge finally. Honestly I was kinda stumped on how to get the Poke Flute music on the PokeGear to play to wake up that Snorlax until I went back to Lavender Town and got the upgrade on the radio part to play the flute.

Well anyway I'm close to facing off with Red, but I need to go to Oak's first to put up my Kanto starter Pokemon. And it will always be Charmander, he will always have a special place in my heart as my most favorite starter Pokemon.



After that I'm going around to collect my ideal Pokemon Team and finally do that IV and EV training on them to make them the best. And I'm not going to have Final Evolution stages of my team as I want to see how far they can go from their First or Second Stage.



And to be on topic, what new feature on Pokemon Black and White do you like so far you've heard from the announcements? Personally I'm liking all of them, but the new Dream World catches my attention. An interesting idea and looks very cool. One feature I'm sad that's not returning, or seems like it, is having your Pokemon follow you around. It makes it more special and more closer to my Pokemon who's traveling alongside me.

At least give the ability if you want your Pokemon outside of the Pokeball or not. Or well, no real loss in gameplay.

Also do you think this new "evil" team, Team Plasma, really is evil or misguided? Kinda like how Team Magma and Aqua was in Ruby and Sapphire? I'm going with the latter judging by their conversation in an article about them.

They seem good, though I wish there was a Red & Black version but beggars can't be choosers. Hmm... I have $420+ in my bank Account at the moment, so I need to make at least $600+ to make sure I get all the best parts for my Gaming PC. I guess I could wait until next year as I'll be working with my Grandfather again as his Tax Helper along with my job at Rainoni's, and my Grandfather pays me everyday in cash so add that with the money from work I'll be have move than enough by the time I'm working with my Grandfather.

Though I am tempted to buy that black slim Xbox 360.
I'm digging the design and the 250GB HD is a plus too! But I already have the old white 360 but with 20GB HD
And the DSi XL looks great to my eyes, but with the 3DS I don't feel like buying it.

Also I can't put any money into my bank account this week due to a few various things, plus I'm planning on reserving a game too.
If I still add in $50 from here now with the money in my bank it will take me 11 weeks to get to $1000+ plus next College Semester I'll have two classes and hopefully only 2 -3 days of school a week meaning less money to put gas into the car and more money into my bank.


Sorry for the rambling.


Well I don't have to get the Gaming PC right now and I could take my time and maybe the prices will drop a tad bit.

Answering ka-shaymin's comments:

1) Virakin has a few meaning, which one of them is called "Children of the Virus", however that's not entirely accurate but it refers to their powers as it spreads throughout their bodies like a virus hence the name.

2) Well it was a little practice to see how to draw CG Eyes. I know I can do better and I would love to spend a lot of time drawing over and over again, but I have work and College to go to and not to mention homework. @_@
I'll try to find time and practice some more, I like to continue improving myself.

3) Well his hair is pretty big, plus making it thin doesn't work. I'll try to draw his head and scale it down and sprite over it, but for now I'll keep it as is. That's the style of his hair, very tricky and hard to draw.

4) I guess, but that's how I draw my Chibi though I wouldn't mind trying to drawn them with thin arms and feet but I can't seem right to me. And the clothes were meant to be simple, no folds and anything, and I haven't got the foggiest idea to draw hands and feet chibi-like like most artist but then again it's an artstyle and preference my friend.

5) Cast List? I don't really follow, are you refering to my characters I have planned for my RPG project and Manga series?



Alright here's a new drawing by me today!

Iris Livier & Random Girl:



Hey there! It's been a while since my last drawing so here's something I made today and yesterday!


First off, the girl on the right is Iris Livier from the MMORPG "LaTale". I'm quite smitten with her, she's cute, has a nice personality (and
gullible mention in the online game from an NPC), and quite tough.

She is the main character of the online game where the player's own tale is finding Iris and learning the truth around her and the day she
fought against the Demon King. Quite a story, which you don't see a long in MMO's.

I drawn her in pen, as I didn't have a pencil at the time, and by memory as I didn't have reference. I think she came out good.
Unfortunately I screwed up on her head a bit. Too big and awkwardly curved a bit from the chin to the left side.


And finally the girl on the left. She's some random girl I draw by following Mark Crilley's video: [link]
He's a great artist and even great teacher! I pick up some tricks here and applied it to the Iris drawing I did today.


Still I need to practice some more, but I'm getting better! ^_^

Bumped it down $90, at least not as expensive as before! Couldn't really find the same parts or the same case (my god the computer cases are expensive on that site). But I picked out some parts that would do the job right. I haven't added in the S&H cost for the components yet, except for the case. Also he recommended to get "Thermal Conductive Adhesive qt oz of (can't read the last three words he wrote) fluid to draw heat away".


What do you guys think?

Thanks, looks pretty good! But it won't be until December/January that I'll be able to afford all of the parts needed to build my own Computer!


So it's better to just buy everything at once instead of buying each part one by one over time?

Alright, is this good? Everything in order? If so then which part which I get first when I get enough money of it? Currently I have $21.17 and I'm going to deposit $50 so I'll have $71.17 plus if I have money leftover from giving the car so gas (plus I have some cans to recycle) so I'll make a little extra to work on getting all of my components.

Hopefully I'll work on Saturdays again (which I hate) so I have make about $140 ~ 150 a week.
