Indeed. Elektross is one badass electric pokemon. I love that little blood sucker.

A pure Electric with Levitate is pretty damn evil.  I'm looking forward to Galvantula, though.  May not be the toughest, but reasonably fast, and Electric/Bug is a pretty awesome combination (as is Thunder + Compoundeyes).

I need to hook up with somebody here for a trade evolution at some point.  Gotta power up my Buldore into a Gigalith.

Just message me when. My Yahoo Email thingy should tell me. I can do it within the next 6 hours or if not, tomorrow around 3 to 6 California time.


When was the last time I poked you guys...

Gladly.  I still need your friend code, though.  Mine's in the Wifi thread.

Can anyone here hook me up with a Snover/Abomasnow? I'm trying to play with more grass types with funky mixtures and trying to overcome getting blown up by frequent Ice users.

Really really specific request here, but it still needs to be asked, can anyone help me out with a Modest natured Nuzleaf with Dark Pulse and a Leaf Stone? Man, if I only knew beforehand how important/helpful it would be to have a copy of Superior Silver handy for these ideas I randomly get...

I have White Version, so far I'm still training my Poke'Mon to head for the Poke'Mon League. I've got all 8 Gym Badges, but I'm still training, trying to get all of my Poke'Mon to Levels 50+.

My Party:
Dewott (level 46)
Gurdurr (level 45)
Simisear (level 45)
Pidove (level 45)
Emolga (level 48)
Sandile (level 46)

Yes, I am now one of those so-called "Bronies".

Sorry! The day I said I would help, my internet was cut off. Finally paid for it.  >BD
I can help now if you need it!

On a side note, I have fully trained my team. Who wants to try them?

CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL

DON'T DO THAT!!!

But thanks for sharing. 8)

B/W event, awesome news.  I'm surprised they're not giving him his Dream World ability, but still, his B/W signature attack is badass enough.  Remains to be seen if he'll have any event-exclusive attacks (come on, Nasty Plot...).

Definitely.  The 3DS kinda diverted my attention from my 'mans, so my Buldore is still sitting around unevolved.

I am back from the dead and necro-posting, but replying to my offer to help 4 months late is something else... Umm... If you still need help, I guess, I am still around. Just PM me.

Oh and hey everybody. Let's see... Happy Holloween, Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy... whatever else I missed. :D

I appreciate that, 'maru, but in 4 months I found enough time to beat the game, and booted Buldore for Carracosta.
But man, that Hydreigon is evil, I tell ya.  EVIL!  EEEEVIIIIL!!!

Next item on my list is getting my Dream World Dratini; unfortunately he requires an absurd amount of points and those minigames can get positively mind-numbing after a while, so I've had that on the back-burner again lately thanks to all the nifty released-November-to-Christmas games out there.

Hey guys


I'm sure you know what this means :P

Posted on: February 25, 2012, 04:40:57 PM
Source is Pokemon Smash which aired just now.

I...wat?

Oh, and Serebii says they're for 3DS, but I think he's wrong on that one.

Edit:


Yeah, it's DS.


My life is currently bears and Jojos and everything is great.

Well, uh... this is strange.

No 3rd Version but instead Sequel versions?
And not on the more advanced console a la Crystal?

I'm noticing some Fire/Ice theming going on as well.

It's actually Fire/Ice / Electric/Ice because of Kyurem.

Yea, but it's mentioned that that are some additional features if played on DSi or 3DS.

Also, it's not like no-one didn't see this coming, maybe except on the part that it's a "sequel".
Thinking that Black Kyurem (Zekrom) forme and White Kyurem (Reshiram) forme will be implemented similarly to the Griseous Orb on Giratina: A hold item that's exclusive to the respective Dragon, with the added bonus of power boost.

Still...
Doesn't bridge the gap that both Reshiram AND Zekrom "broke off" from Kyurem...


I'm watching you all. Always watching.

Initial reaction:  :O WTF happened to you, Kyuurem/Reshiram/Zekrom?!?!

Second Reaction: Oh, they're Kyuurem's transformations.  ::)

Third reaction:  [objection!] WAIT A MINUTE. What was the point of Nintendo chugging out numerical sequels? I mean, maybe they wanted to continue the story of the originals but they could have just made the theoretical Pokemon Grey/Gray AND promote the dual transformations of Kyuurem at the same time. Eh, maybe Nintendo wants to milk what's left of the DS' life for a bit more cash.

Fourth Reaction: Took them goddamn long enough to announce this! I knew there was going to be an updated edition of some kind! Still bummed out that they didn't just make one game called "Pokemon Grey/Gray". Ruined the whole thematic naming shtick that made each versions of the Pokemon games unique. Still gonna buy them though!

So do Black/White, though, so that's not really news.

I'm a little bummed.  I mean, yeah, we all should have seen SOME B/W revisiting as a given, but they were pretty darn late in the DS's lifespan to begin with.  I was really hoping for a legitimate 3DS Pokemon game (that and unlikely as it may be, I still dream of the day that the current EV system is abolished; this business of any 'man used in-game turning into garbage for competitions is just not acceptable to me).

That aside, Kyurem's new "fusion-ha"s with Reshiram and Zekrom look pretty awesome.  It's a shame that Ice is such a defensively horrible Type to be, or I'd be pretty excited.

I wonder if BW2 will pick up on the thread about Ghetsis' fate. Didn't he escape at the end?

Oh yeah, he did.

And maybe we'll see N again, after he redeems himself or something.

EDIT

Quote from: Tumblr



The new versions of Kyurem are AMAZING, and this is why.

The developers incorporated so many deep levels of Taoism into this Pokemon that it puts it on a level that I’ve hardly ever seen Pokemon get to.

I just felt the need to go make this huge chart to illustrate my point, because I know some people don’t approve of the new forms of Kyurem. Although I am completely for everyone having their own opinions, I felt like posting this to get this excitement off my chest.
A good point of view explaining Kyurem's new forms.

According to Serebii, release of BW2 will be June 2012 in Japan. Autumn 2012 for North America/Europe.

Wow, that's a quick localization.  :O

Well considering it's a direct sequel and most of the Pokemon and character names are already translated so it makes it much easier for them to localize faster.

That and the fact that the 3DS actually took off probably lit a fire under their ass, in terms of sitting on original-DS games not being a good idea at this point.

I'm confused about this whole thing. Are these new games going to actually have a new storyline, or are they simply revisions of the original 5th gen games?
