haha, ive gave up.

Watching the commenwelth games now, rugby 7's is pm :cool:

i'm really itching to play now! i won't go to bed happy unless i have started on my way to being a pokemon master!

You guys suck at roms. I've had plenty of problems with games ****ing up, but never once have I had it say I don't have a circuit board installed.

Well we both have it, so it must be the emulators, or the rom, i duno.

I have a picture of me posing like a Pokemon trainer in my backyard in front of this huge stuffed Pikachu. I'm holding a plastic Pokeball and everything!

It's from last summer.

I really should put it on my emospace. I'm sure it would get some laughs.

[QUOTE=BridgeToSolace]Pigeot and Clefable suck, dude. Seriously.

Use Alakazam. He's fast as ****ing hell and he learns physic fairly early.

Also, using Haunter/Gengar or Snorlax isn't a bad idea. Snorlax is a ****ing tank and can take hits forever. The ghost pokemon are awesome against Bruno in the elite four, and if you're one of those dudes who trains like a mofo, night shade will be your most consistantly high-damaging attack.

Zapdos > Raichu.

Pikachu learns Thunderbolt really early in yellow, which is sweet, but he's outshined by Zapdos later. Seriously.[/QUOTE]

I like Raichu, and he is pretty good. Zapdos is a lot better, but I wanna try it with Raichu. I may end up getting rid of Clefable because I evolved it way to early, so now it won't learn any more moves. For my 6th pokémon, I was thinking about Gengar, but I need to trade for it to evolve and that is a b[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]tch. I was also thinking Snorlax, but then I have way too many normal pokémon.

Just use Haunter and Abra's evolution. The trading-upgrades aren't that special.

There are no good grass moves in the entire game, and, thus, there are no good grass pokemon. Gravler isn't bad, just use him. He's common.

Gengar and any other "ghost" Pokemon in the original games are useless, because they're half poison type, too.

That makes them vulnerable as hell.



/sounds like an eight year-old

Well, my for sure line-up has Charizad, Pidgeot, and Raichu. I will put Articuno in there as well. Clefable will stay in there until I find a replacement. I need a good grass-type.

I've been playing my newly downloaded Pokemon Yellow for the last two hours and listening to Sunn o))).

Matt: You're kind of limited grass-wise, for selection at least.

[QUOTE=Rouge Poet]Matt: You're kind of limited grass-wise, for selection at least.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I know. It would be nice to have one, but I might not be able to get one.

Yeah.

They never really have given you a good mix of things you can catch in the wild.

Pidgeot sucks. All flying/normal pokemon suck, and suck completely. What are they strong against? Grass and bug and fighting. The first two are covered by charizard, and, if you're smart and you use Abra, fighting is taken care of too, with a pokemon that is faster and has far higher special attack.

I would want a fighting pokemon, too. Hitmonlee is amazing, use him.

Pidgeot is fast, though.


I usually raise a bird Pokemon similar to it simply for speed.


It's a good closer, plus it can use fly.

I really like Pidgeot and I kinda rely on him to use fly. Hitmonlee and Hotmonchan, I forgot about them. I will get one of them. Abra can be a sonuvabitch to catch though.

I hate how in Leafgreen, megapunch (and I'm assuming kick) have been made Normal-type attacks.


That really makes no sense...

nah, get hitmon-something (the punching guy) because than you can get fire punch, ice punch, electric punch, and one other really strong punching attack.

your line-up should be: charizard, lapras, kadabra/haunter, raichu/zapdos, dragonite (start with a dratini), and something else as a filler, or a last resort.

The list I'm looking at:

Charizard
Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan
Lapras (Articuno if I get bored)
Raichu
Pidgeot
Vileplume

you'll need a dragon in there to take out lance

but vileplume would be the perfect filler that i was looking for.

I think if my Charizard is strong enough, Lance will be a breeze.

You have Articuno on your team, teach him fly. I remember Charizard being able to learn it too. Don't keep a pokemon on your main team just because of an HM, that's very stupid.

Who cares if Abra is hard to catch? Spend two minutes to get a Drowzy, and train him enough to learn Hypnosis (if he doesn't already know it when you catch him). Go where you can get Abras, hypnotize him, and then catch him. You can use Sleep Powder with butterfree if you already have him.

Everyone, Alakazam is faster than Pidgeot. I'll use Kadabra's stats because most are too lazy to trade.

Pidgeot:
Base Stats: HP 83/Attack 80/Defense 75/[B]Speed 91/Sp Att 70[/B]/Sp Def 70

Kadabra:
Base Stats: HP 40/Attack 35/Defense 30/[B]Speed 105/Sp Att 120[/B]/Sp Def 70

Kadabra can kill anyone with psychic because of his increadible Special Attack.

Retards.

I'm not sure if I will be taking Articumo along. I like my Pidgeot and if I was going to get a Kadabra, I would want to be able to evolve it to Alakazam.

I can't tell anyone this in real life, so I've come here.

I just found out that I'm not going to be a teenage Dad. I have never been happier in my whole life. I was so scared.

thats pretty intense dude

Even though I have never seen you post before, that's good to hear.

[QUOTE=poisontheflag]nah, get hitmon-something (the punching guy) because than you can get fire punch, ice punch, electric punch, and one other really strong punching attack.[/quote]

The [elemental] punches are not fighting moves, they're elemental moves. Therefore, having a fighting pokemon is useless if you're just going to use him to fill in for other pokemon's jobs. Hitmonlee learns High Jump Kick and what not, which are the best fighting attacks you can get. He can learn the different punches from TMs, too, if you want to be a tool like that.

Dratini takes too long to train if you want him to be usefull.

Use Articuno against dragon pokemon, remember, ice is strong against dragon.

Several lives have been saved from being f[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]cked up.

The universe is a better place :chug:

charizard will get destroyed by lance's water attacks. you need either a lapras, or a dragonite if you stand a chance. even with the lapras it will be hard because of dragonite's thunder.

Jon is like the only person who knows what he's talking about. The rest of you suck at pokemon

[QUOTE=Pazz]I'm not sure if I will be taking Articumo along. I like my Pidgeot and if I was going to get a Kadabra, I would want to be able to evolve it to Alakazam.[/QUOTE]

Why? There's not much of a point to it. Even without Alakazam, Kadabra is still much better than Pidgeot.

If oyu aren't a tool and you're pokemon are strong enough it doesn't matter. I remember I could one hit ko like every single pokemon on the whole elite four team. Just use atricuno against lance and you dont need anyone else at all.

yes, but lance has a wide variety of attacks. you won't be safe with any pokemon you use against him. he's got thunder, and he's got his dragon attacks if you try to counter him with a dragon pokemon.

[QUOTE]If oyu aren't a tool and you're pokemon are strong enough it doesn't matter. I remember I could one hit ko like every single pokemon on the whole elite four team. Just use atricuno against lance and you dont need anyone else at all.[/QUOTE]

you don't have alot of time by the time you catch articuno until the time you battle the elite four. you're not going to have many trainers to battle it against, which means you have to either fight wild pokemon, or keep dying against the elite four over and over again until your pokemon are at a high level.

We're kind of over-thinking this.

You can beat the elite four with any Pokemon, provided they're at an adequate level...

I don't plan on taking a Dragonite with me. I should be fine with who I will have.

Seriously. Plus, if Lance uses water attacks against Articuno, he wont be very effective because of use.

Any self respecting Articuno can kill Dragonite with one Blizzard. Plus, lance is stupid, so he will likely use Outrage or some other dragon attack against you before he uses thunder. He's probably use Full Restore and waste a turn, too.

Articuno:
Base Stats: HP 90/Attack 85/[B]Defense 100/Speed 85/Sp Att 95/Sp Def 125
[/B]
Lapras:
Base Stats: HP 130/Attack 85/[B]Defense 80/Speed 60/Sp Att 85/Sp Def 95[/B]

Articuno has more defense, so he can take outrage better than Lapras. Articuno has higher speed, so he'll attack before Dragonite. He has a higher Special attack, so he'll kill Dragonite faster, and he has higher special defense, so he'll survive Thunder much easier.

[QUOTE]Jon is like the only person who knows what he's talking about. The rest of you suck at pokemon[/QUOTE]

Seriously.

You'll be fine no matter what you bring along.

[QUOTE=poisontheflag]keep dying against the elite four over and over again until your pokemon are at a high level.[/QUOTE]

This is the best way to train. Just make sure you spend all of your money on TMs and healing potions before hand, because you lose money each time you die.

Another good idea: Use Exp share. Put your pokemon that is strongest against the first trainer (I haven't played that game in years, I don't remember which it is), and then the pokemon that you want to train. Only those two.

Murder the first trainer, and your second pokemon will get half the EXP. Way faster than anything else you can do.

I remember using that all the time. But until I can get it, I usually send out a weak pokemon, retreat it and put out a strong pokemon that can take a hit.
