Topic: The Official Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver Discussion Thread

[HyperSonicEXE]

I remember KOing the entire RBY Elite Four with Articuno, particularly Ice Beam.

Then, Houndoom's Crunch, Solarbeam, and Flamethrower started kicking tail, especially Crunch against the ever-feared Mewtwo and Mew.

Zapdos and Thunder Wave. Can't forget Steel Wing.

[Tickle Buffalo]

All the more reason to use him!

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.

[Protoman Blues]

If you're gonna call a pokemon useless because it has a counter, pretty much every pokemon ever is useless.

Mewtwo's banned from standard play anyway.

No, I'm calling Tyranitar useless against him, being that he's faster than him, has pretty high speed, attack, and special attack, and Aura Sphere kills him in a single blow.

Also, Pokemon Battle Revolution was really the only time I ever battled people who weren't friends, and I don't care who they use or not. 

[Tickle Buffalo]

Oh, okay, your first post made it seem like you thought TTar was always useless because of Mewtwo, which doesn't seem fair because Mewtwo isn't all that common. My apologies for misinterpreting you sir!



And TTar won't always die from one Aura Sphere. That sandstorm special defence bonus is pretty crazy. He just dies uh most of the time.

Oh no no. No no no no.  Tyranitar was actually pretty good against Mewtwo, before Aura Sphere.  It's just the 4X Damage that Aura Sphere does to Tyranitar just hurts him so much to really put up a fight against him now.

It's the same with Snorlax.  Snorlax was always in my Silver team.  He was my backbone.  Aura Sphere hurts him a lot too.  Damn DPP for improve Fighting Pokemon! 

[Jericho]

I find it hilarious that fighting types in Red/Blue/Yellow days were always laughed at, but ever since GSC those fuckers have been raping everything.

Now, can somebody at Gamefreak please start buffing the Ghost Pokemon?

Unless they have already and I'm way out of the loop.

[Dr. Wily II]

Ghost Pokemon...
Spiritomb and Sableye are a nice little group...

No Guard: The accuracy of all moves known by all Pokémon on the field raises to 100%
it was up to 100%
Machamp can have this ability
having this ability on a 2on2 fight with a speedy PKMN that knows OHKO moves would be cruel

Oh, No Guard.
Still... OHKO moves in competitive battling?

[Tickle Buffalo]

Update: Serebii's description sucks. No Guard only helps moves used by or against Machamp, his partner's accuracy stays exactly the same.

Just in case anyone was wondering.



And no tourneyfag is ever going to allow OHKO moves, they're far too random. Random stuff's anathema to those guys.

[Pyro]

All the more reason to use him!

What would anyone think of Mewtwo using Guard Swap on a Bastiodon in a 2 on 2 battle? Heh heh heh. *Insert evil laughter*

[Solar]

Is that a female trainer I see?

[Dr. Wily II]

Yea~

Although the news below about the notched-ear Pichu worries me...

[Sub Tank]

Is that a female trainer I see?

I can't wait for all the hentai.

[Kit]

I can't wait for all the hentai.

[Protoman Blues]

I can't wait for all the hentai.

Hentai?  Of Pokemon characters? 

[Waifu]

Hentai?  Of Pokemon characters? 

Yes, although I prefer some more than others because some doujins just plain frighten me.

[Sub Tank]

Is that a rhetorical question PB?

[Akira]

I can't wait for all the hentai.

Hahaha! yus

[Gaia]

Well, they did ditch Kris.. but that doesn't bug me, though, since I will be using Gold anyway (AKA boy).

[Akira]

 

[Protoman Blues]

Is that a rhetorical question PB?

Of course it is!

[Gaia]

 

Well, she's a Crystal exclusive (and introduced gender picks), but since this is a remake it's bound to happen.

[STM]

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.

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.

[Jericho]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

OMG WHERE ARE MY SEDATIVES AHHHHHH.

So hyped now.

[STM]

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.

[Jericho]

Oh God, I remember that place.

Man, I feel the same way I did when I was 10 and reading the details on the game from NP.
