If it's inferior, it's inferior. By all means, Strength is passable, yes. But whether you're against a human or a CPU doesn't change the fact that it's an inferior attack strength to your other options.

Hey, at least they're not as weak as Cut or Rock Smash

Honestly, most if not all players are not even going to use the pokemon they used ingame for VS anyways because of IVs/EVs/bad natures/whatever anyways, so why waste the better options on them?

Hypershell · **Reply #701 on:** May 23, 2010, 04:51:15 PM

You can't "waste" an HM, it's infinitely reusable. Furthermore, although unlikely, it is possible to use vs-grade 'mans in gameplay. All you have to do is either EV train ahead of time (and pray someone can trade you the Power- items), or invest in a lot of stat-reducing berries when you're done.

Inevitably you wind up with an "HM whore" or two.

They're a pain, what with being magically unlearn-able unless you bring it to some mind-warping man in some city.

From a gameplay standpoint, it's necessary to prevent you from trapping yourself. Suppose you lack Fly, you fight somebody on an island, and forget Surf? Or you forget Strength in the middle of a cave?

Hm, you know, if they were to make HMs usable by the trainer directly, I think Teleport would have to replace Fly. It'd be pretty weird for a disc to enable kids to soar through the air.

Uh, I know that Shell, I wasn't talking about HMs there .__.

This is why I liked Colloseum and XD; all the fun of a Pokemon game without those HM's clogging your movesets. It's nice to use a Flying-type without the move Fly on it for a change.

Just don't teach it Fly then. :/

True.

I would want that disc. It would end my transportation woes forever.

ReshiRAM and ZekROM
COMPUTER POKEMON THAT'S NOT THE PORYGON LINE

Klavier Gavin · **Reply #709 on:** May 28, 2010, 06:50:31 PM

Forgot to mention, the Japanese site got updated as well. Nothing new besides the two legendaries. There are videos up, the one's seen from Pokémon Sunday, but now you can hear the music. The Japanese games are being released in September. :v

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #710 on:** May 28, 2010, 06:52:20 PM

Nice. Can't wait for September.
Also, Black's the choice here.

Tickle Buffalo · **Reply #711 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:05:05 PM

So what, we've got Reshiram, and Mechareshiram?

If you're gonna make a obvious copy pokemon could you at least copy a design that isn't y'know awful? It's been like seven years since Metagross was designed, and the best you've managed to come up with is this scruffy looking bird and its evil clone?

TheOnly · **Reply #712 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:13:44 PM

Sounds like we are running out of ideas ppl.

Pyro · **Reply #713 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:20:42 PM

Is it me or does Zekrom resemble Palkia?

Archer · **Reply #714 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:22:33 PM

those are ugly

that is all.

Acid · **Reply #715 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:37:02 PM

I think they're pretty cool.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #716 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:38:21 PM

I love the Outlaw Star engine that Zekrom has on his ass!

Looks like some kinda drill.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #718 on:** May 28, 2010, 07:44:10 PM

Maybe Zekron is looking for the Galactic Leyline.

TO PEIRCE THE HEAVENS WITH! *ahem* I'm going for black as in tradition. I ALWAYS get the oppisite color/gem.

Blue > Silver > Sapphire > Diamond > SS > Black.

Now to figure out the "Special Edition" legendary for BW..

TheOnly · **Reply #720 on:** May 28, 2010, 08:13:49 PM

Maybe they will make a Pokemon Grey Version.

Archer · **Reply #721 on:** May 28, 2010, 08:15:42 PM

Pokemon Brown

Blackhook · **Reply #722 on:** May 28, 2010, 08:16:46 PM

After Time, Space, antimater, life, death and the God himself we got Light and Darkness?

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #723 on:** May 28, 2010, 08:19:40 PM

DARKNESS
The answer to everything.

Blackhook · **Reply #724 on:** May 28, 2010, 09:52:25 PM

Team Dark and team Light?
