Okay well whatever. I can't really see the appeal of just sending out Darkrai and spamming A until the entire enemy team's down, but okay.

Protip: Spamming A means only spamming Hypnosis, which will do nothing after the first time. Nice attempt though!

Curious about those extra forms for Rotom, Shaymin's Sky form and Giratina's Origin form (shut up, adding the e to form looks really retarded) in that they give us them yet we can't even conceivably use them. It just makes me feel like what was even the point of having them.

I find it a little sad I remember the Gold and Silver map despite not having played the game in over 6-7 years. I only remember sending my gold cart to GothamAnswer, who told me the battery died not long after he got it right as he was taking on Ho-Oh. I think there's a fix for the battery, but it'd probably only lengthen the life of the game another 10 years give or take.

I only have one little design complaint with Gold there... it's really nothing big, but I think it'd be a bit better if the bang stuck out from the hole in the cap, not from under it. Again, it's nothing really big.

I also wonder if this means places like the town around Lake of Rage will be back. Probably not, but it would be better than that Cut-requiring infested maze to visit Mr. Friday.

So either you need another five ubers to make a team with, or the rest of your guys are basically pointless compared to your god tier ones, and you have to hope like hell your opponent either barely has any ubers or is much worse than you are, or you're basically screwed.

Just leaving the overpowered pokemon at home and playing OU seems a lot more fun to me bro.

I just enjoy watching people go "WTF YOU CANT USE THAT IT'S BANNED" like having a Darkrai lay waste to their team by putting everyone to sleep, having Mewtwo wreck house, and Arceus that does whatever the hell it wants, Manaphy. I always have three legends on me at any given point of a mixed assortment with some others like my little Alakazam or Dunsparce (). Like I said, I pick pokemon I like, not "what's better according to some website on the internet."

So yes, watching tards cry that I'm not playing according to some arbitrary rule system like they have sand in their vaginas is pretty fun. Only reminds me how retarded the Internet's making online play.

Moving on to more important discussion, the new girl trainer looks quite dumb, IMO. Gold still looks ready to kick all sorts of ass though. That's all that matters. Also, details:

-Three new Wi-Fi minigames?
-Starter may not be the only Pokemon that follows you, Pokemon follow you even after the beginning of the game.
-The new Lugia art is AWESOME, new stock art for Ho-Oh, Wobbuffet, Chinchou, Sentret, Mareep, Gligar, Dunsparce, Hopip, Wooper, Delibird, Larvitar, Miltank, Blissey, Stantler, Phanpy, Remoraid, Octillery,Qwilfish, Slugma, Swinub, and Teddiursa
-New female playable character, NOT Crystal
-PokeGear has got a re-design, appears to have a camera
-Slowpoke Well and Sprout Tower return with new looks
-There is a skateboard?
-Confirmation of the different Pichus in game, are both part of an event in Ilex Forest
-September 11th Release Date
-Kanto return is hinted at (DUH)
-Wi-fi features expanded
-Cutscenes in new areas akin to FRLG.

Oh, if Red gets Lv100 with this, bring some 1-hit KO'ers with you, that's one way to solve a problem (sheer cold kyogre, import if you have both Saphhire and Emerald)

I've never been too fond of one-hit KO moves. There's a few Pokemon where they could be nice, namely anything that knows Lock On or similar, but two turns to take out a Pokemon is a little risky, especially using a move with really low accuracy.

What I hate is how the higher you go in the battle tower, the higher their accuracy goes up for the computer player. One time, a streak of mine ended at 79 because a blasted Rhyperior came out and Fissured or Horn Drilled all three of my pokemon first move.

Red with a level 100 team would be lovely. I would say throw in some legendaries in to the mix as well since, outside of the Battle Frontier, no trainer has used a legendary pokemon.

Well, as has seemingly become a trend with the remakes, the Elite Four close down and become harder a little later. This also happened in FR and LG while you're off frolicking on the Sevii Islands and again in Platinum while exploring Stark Mountain. It's no doubt they'll pull something similar to Platinum again... maybe even an upgrading Red?

Again, grain of salt on all of that. That's a lot of information on a title that's otherwise just been revealed, with some stuff from the 50% point of the total game. I think they're all just shots in the dark and more of them are safe guesses than anything else. These guys aren't exactly very credible.

For the record, I 'd at the Cinnabar line because that means it's not a volcanic ruined mess.

It'll probably be very subtle visual differences, like how Spinda have different spots all over the place.

Uncomfirmed, but the Brazilians are at it with the rumormill:

    * New sprites for Kanto and Johto Pokemon, Platinum sprites for Sinnoh Pokemon Diamond/Platinum sprites for Hoenn Pokemon
    * New PokeGear, radio's still in, compatible with Poketch?
    * Pokebox DS app on DSi, sort of like Pokemon Ranch, save Pokemon to DSi, transfer between games with one DSi
    * Story's different
    * can't catch Red Gyarados (!)
    * Bug Catching Contest still in
    * Can catch Ho-Oh and Lugia in both games, Legendary Dogs too
    * Kanto's back, can get Kanto starters
    * Mewtwo's back in the same place, so are Legendary Birds (Unknown Cave and Seafoam Isle back?)
    * Safari Zone returns, Cinnibar too  ()
    * MORE EVENT ISLANDS. And also Celebi GS Ball event
    * Online Underground and secret bases, find fossils under Cinnibar
    * Somehow get Hoenn starters in Battle Frontier

...Wait, what? The Sevii Islands were in Fire Red and Leaf Green. Only one island in the game seemingly didn't work right and it was Alternating Cave or something. The rest are fully explorable and featured remixes of GSC themes (including the ever popular Azalea Town theme.) There is even a bonus Team Rocket story there along with Lorelei's house and teaching the starters super powered Hyper Beam like elemental moves.

I definitely think the Crystal version will show up after this, so I'll wait patiently for that and repeat my Full Pokedex tradition.

Actually, I'm not so sure about a Crystal remake. Wouldn't it be more advantageous to include the new elements Crystal introduced, as well as the material from the newer titles? That, and we didn't get an Electric Yellow version last time.

I'm picking Gold because Gold users take nothing short of being the best. Silver users settle at second class quitters.

That's right, I went there.

You probably got the retard chimchar of the litter then.

Actually, compared to the original starters, the ones from the last two gens haven't been all that good. Blastoise is still too awesome.

Cyrus is going to be a fast burner. Her career will pretty much tank as she gets older... this can largely be said by any Disney branded stars.
