Well game freak obviously saw how game breaking it was and completely nerfed it in gen V. Sure, you can trade over things from IV that know it, but then you'll miss out on all of the awesome new abilities

To most people, if it really bothers them that much, you carry Rapid Spin

 

[N1ck0]

yes, I have to agree with Feugo, SR is a good move, and Rapid spin carries it out. Personally, I hate the idea o all those new abilities from the dream world, it just isn't right!

also, did you see that there is an Elecric monotype pokemon with levitate? (NO weaknesses!)

...spin blockers?

Sableye/Spiritomb also have no weakness. That floating eel can be taken down with Gastro Acid/Mold Breaker/Gravity. No big deal.

EDIT: Woah. Scrappy Swellow. Now Rotom and other Ghost Types in general must be aware when switching out to Facading Swellow.

Everything looks more badass now.

Scrappy kind of makes Facade Swellow worse...seeing as how any pokemon are only worth using Facade if they have Guts.

edit: Everyone's going to start carrying Disable now, or should. And I can't believe they fucking buffed Toxic. It never used to miss when I used it lol.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Just realized that now.

But it could make pretteh great bluff

 

[Pyritie]

I just realised all of these awesome new ability pokemon won't be able to get any egg moves ;__;

 

[N1ck0]

took you long enough... it also means you can't IV breed them, so they are no good in a competetive environment

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

It says they're pretty easy to catch once you befriend them, It's probably just as time consuming to go out and catch tons of them to find what you want then to breed 50 of them.

 

[En_Fuego]

Pokesav, imo.

 

[N1ck0]

hey people! seems this thread is starting to go a bit stale...

SO... I'm calling a Smogon challenge! anyone here that has Shoddy Battle, I dare you to face the might of Dark Pulse!!!! i may be King of Double battles, but I'm not too bad in singles, either!

 

[Pyritie]

shoddy is poop

magnet rise jolteon restores 1/4 hp every turn on it

 

[dead-man-walking]

Use POL. Shoddy is too primitive looking.

 

[En_Fuego]

Use Nintendo Wi-Fi. It's actually really good.

 

[N1ck0]

I don't have Wi-fi, and what's POL???

 

[Pyritie]

Use Nintendo Wi-Fi. It's actually really good.

But then you have to deal with friend code shenanigans D:

 

[The World Is Flat]

Dear god. What is the world coming to?

 

[Wazzz]

Butt rape apparantly

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Seems a bit difficult

 

[Wazzz]

I'm going to need some context for the above post plox

 

[Zombie]

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Need some activity here:

A few beyond good remakes of pokemon music I've found on youtube:

Lance Battle Theme

Heavy Rain Theme

Desert Theme

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Bump - skip to 20 seconds, pretty awesome remix

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Hmmm is that wi-fi connection in general or do you have to go some place to get it?

 

[Pyritie]

wifi connection in general

keep in mind it won't start until the 15th

 

[Pyritie]

I love this picture

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Lol, it suuuuuure is

I remember trying to figure out what exactly that thing is, it was hard to even tell where it mouth was in the unanimated sprite, instead of whiskers those stubs kinda like the "mouth" of a bug or something.

 

[Dragonite The 1337]

Machamp > Dunsparce, Just saying.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Machamp > Dunsparce, Just saying.

Does Machamp has Serene Grace? No?
I guess its settled then.

 

[Wazzz]

Machamp has No Guard. And Dynamic Punch. And yet I still like Dunsparce more. What's that say about Machamp?
Oh, sorry, I see I typo'd Magay.

 

[Pyritie]

You just mad 'cause he's stylin' on you

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

 

[OrangeAngel]

Guys what you do to win a pokemon game is get a shiney turtwig like I did! And dunsparce =Amazering.

So, what do you guys think about Gen V remakes of Ruby/Sapphire? I mean, it's a trend so far (Gen. 3 = Red/Blue, Gen. 4 = Gold/Silver, Gen 5. =??). Especially now that Black and White have been out for about 2 months. Don't you think it's about time that the Pokemon company begins working on their next project?

Personally, I'd like Gen 3. remakes. They were probably one of the most enjoyable gen.'s to play for me. I also enjoyed the new Pokemon and their artwork and the story was a lot better than some small-time criminals or some crazy guy trying to take over the universe and employing introverted youths to do his bidding (sounds more like a cult than an actual evil organization tbh).

Anyway, what do you guys think about Gen. 5 remakes for Ruby and Sapphire?

 

[Wazzz]

I think that if they do it, they better put in some fucking dinosaurs

 

[The World Is Flat]

Every time i see black and white i want to puke.

I just want my Torchick.

 

[Wazzz]

Torchick ain't got nothin' on a velociraptor, mother fucker

 

[En_Fuego]

have you played the games yet? They're way more enjoyable than any other generation in my opinion...sure, the pokemon are weird, but all pokemon are weird at first.

Yea, a lot of the early pokemon are generic and awful (those monkey things seem to be a slightly different take on the Eevee evolution chain, and they all suck equally), but the later pokemon additions are the BOMB, like Nadini and that Water/Ground thing, and the Fighting/Dark Pokemon and so on

Still nothing on a dinosaur, but they'll do for now

 

[D a w n]

I like that new turtle pokemon's design. Absolutely adoreable. Those candle ghosts are also awesome

but the best one is still that power ranger pokemon called Kirikizan

You've been puking a lot lately.
Meh it seems the further they go on, the worse the design of the early pokemon get, though some of the later ones are starting to look better in the new one imo - really it can't get much worse then the D/P designs.

@Fuego

It's inevitable that they're going to try and cash in on their old crap again, doesn't matter how many remakes they make, people will still buy it (soon they'll probably make a third remake of the original, especially when the games are no longer compatible with the gba to ds transfer). Really I think the third generation games were best in the series imo, I just hope they change enough things around to actually warrant buying the new game.

They really will produce it with a new story. With FireRed/LeafGreen, they used a lot of backstory that was introduced in Pokemon Special during the Red/Blue/Green chapter. Same with HeartGold and SoulSilver going back to the Gold/Silver/Crystal chapters.

also, the more I've been reading, the more it sounds like Gen. 3 remakes won't come in Gen. 5.

Lol ya, I've seen that on bulbapedia, looks badass =D
Bet it will be ranked as an Uber poke in no time

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

But then again, you have to buy Pokemon Ranger to get it - and who in there right mind would do that?

 

[Wazzz]

You have to do what now?

This is what shits me off about pokemon
They have the original pokemon, which was do-able to finish. And it was fun. Then there was pokemon Gold and Silver. Still do-able, still a lot of fun, although you would need to trade with the original pokemon games if you wanted to catch them all. Additionally, it was introduced that you could evolve pokemon by trading them while they held certain items. Nothing too complicated.
Much the same for generation III, although it wasn't anywhere near as good as generation II imo. But then comes along generation IV. To evolve Eevee, for example, into Leafeon, it must level up in a certain area. A little bit random, do-able but still random. To evolve other pokemon, they have to level up knowing a certain move. Okay, that's also do-able. In fact, that's one of the easier additions. But then there's all the different ways of actually getting fossils and such, which was kinda lame.

And now this. Pokemon Ranger. That's disgusting. That's a Justin Bieber level of disgusting. I'm disgusted.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

You don't need it to finish the dex though, it's mainly just a reason to get the kiddies to buy a crap game that teaches them to draw circles.

Idk about the one you're talking about, but I know the ones from the earlier games sucked anyways
