General

I just tried to sell my old pokemon cards. So far no buyers...

I have Pearl, and I'm going to get Soul Silver soon to play through(since I got Gold last time 'round). I'll probably get through Platinum at some point after SS, maybe.

I most definitely agree. Venusaur FTW.

Ur all wrong!!! the best is *dramatic music* Feraligatr!!!!!!!!!!!!!eleven!!!!!!!!!1!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O.o

I blame the fact that I'm playing my old Pokemon Gold right now

Count me in on the Pokemon craze, So far I currently have Red, Blue, Yellow, Sapphire, Emerald, Silver, Crystal, Leaf Green, Diamond, Platinum and I'm currently about halfway through Soul Silver.

My all-time favorite pokemon has always been Raichu. I hate Pikachu though.

About 4 years ago I competed in a tournament in Baytown, TX. I beat someone without losing a single pokemon, it made him cry. I quit competing after that. It was a sad and very uncomfortable moment.

Beware, the Champ is here!

lol Pokemon, are one of my few true passions.

All time favourite has to go to Mawile, shes just so cute and tough!

As for teams, I can never decide with any finality for long...

But dream team is:

1.Aerodactyl
2.Breloom
3.Scizor
4.Arcanine
5.Gengar
6.Kingdra

I hate legendary pokemon BTW, i reckon no one should be allowed to have them, they are legendary for a reason...

Other notable mentions include:

Scyther, Vaporeon, Belossom, Froslass, Electrode, Espeon, Starmie, Arbok, Raticate, Pidgeot.

Oh and Chatot, my second fave behind Mawile!



I wonder if gifs would work on here...

My son got me hooked on Pokemon years ago....have played through Blue and Gold on the GameBoy Color, then Emerald, and even did Fire-Red (the return to Kanto on GBA). Was able to pick all of those up cheaply and play on his devices when he was in bed. However
- even used Diamond/Pearl/Platinum haven't gotten cheap (and my son isn't done with his Pearl or Diamond, he says),
- he goes to bed later these days
- Anyway I got hooked on Warcraft a few months ago.

Still, I was thinking about breaking down and spending the money on one of those, and now this update of Gold/Silver/Crystal is out....oh the choices!

My team in Emerald varied a lot depending on what I was doing at the battle frontier (I had a squad at 50 and a few at 60). Latios, Metacross, Luxray (if I recall the name right--electric type that looks sort of like a dog), the steel/flying bird (I forget the name) and my beloved (evolved) Mudkip were amongst my all-stars.

Can you trade from the GBA games into Soul Silver, or is it like with Pearl/Platinum where only at the end game you could import them via the Pal Park?

The ideal pokemon to use against Whitney's Miltank is a Nidorina with the ability "Rivalry" and knows a fighting type move (more than likely, it'll know Double Kick).

Double Kick is Super Effective.
Rivalry means it's powered up against pokemon of the same gender.
And Nidorina's part ground, so it's resistant against Rollout and other Rock type moves.

Oh, and you have to Pal Park over the GBA pokemon.


My best team I've had at one point would have to be.

1. Raichu
2. Arcanine
3. Venusaur
4. Rhyperior
5. Pidgeot
6. Zangoose

I'm playing the original Pokemon Gold atm, almost done with the entire thing actually. *am currently quite frustrated with the difficulty in getting evolutionary stones*

My team:
Feraligatr *Fera*
Butterfree *Frea*
Gengar *Demona*
Growlithe *Archie* (this is where my frustration stems from, Lv. 57 basic pokemon?! WTF!?!)
Victreebel *Victor*
Pidgeot *Pidgen*
