[Zaffa Dot Xom]

Sure, you're done with Pocket Monsters, but, right now, I've got a certain itch that would just love to kick my ass through the rest of this morning if I don't post this, and then I'll scratch it.

I've been playing Pocket Monsters Ruby Version for a loooooooooong while, now, and it seems that I've stumbled upon a lv. 22 Sandshrew that shines. Now I've got a question ... would you say that the shine would go away if I evolved it into a Sandslash?

And what does this shine do for you? Is it the infamous Pokérus virus? Or is it a lame premier special effect?

[MysticWarrior]

Lame special effect. But, I think, if you catch all the shiney pokemon, something special happens.

[Dullahan]

i've got a shiny Magikarp on Silver by breeding a red and blue Gyarados. I don't really care whether it shines or not, it needs goods stats, good types, good moves and to look good, stuff like Mewtwo, Gengar and Tyranitar meets all this criteria.

[«Raziel v3.0»]

Nah, nothing special happens except the fancy shinning when he comes out... Also, if he evolves he will turn into a shinny sandslash, he wont lose his shine. And maybe they have betetr stats, im not sure...

Anyway, you were realy lucky! Untill now I only saw/caught Paras, Pidgey and Weedle (wich I evolved). All on Silver.

[Dullahan]

You were lucky! I've been playing Silver for 200 hours and not once fought a wild shiny pokemon.

[Zaffa Dot Xom]

I'm facing the Elite Four as of now on Ruby, and it's not going too well ...

I was following the Nintendo Player's Guide on type advantages that work well against the Elite Four and Champion (Steven), but once I hit Phoebe (sp?), only my Glalie knew Crunch, and it didn't really satisfy the death of her first Ghost Pokémon ...

I still need them to get up to 45, but they all are 40+, so I thought it was a good start at first. But then I looked at their levels, and bit my lip about it. Gah, I just hope I don't end up like the very first time I took them on in an earlier game ...

[Mallick]

once you catch all the shiny pokemon you get a very special item....
it makes all your pokemon level 100!!!!I have caughten a shiny onix,pidgey,sandslash,garados (obviously),and a snubble

[ForteGX]

I have Pokemon Ruby as well, and I've beaten the Elite Four...hmmm...lost count after 80 times...(not joking, but my whole party is over level 65 ^_^). I'll show you my favorite party setup and their estimated levels (too lazy to actually check):

Blaziken lv. 100
Swellow lv. 80 (recommended)
Mightyena lv. 85 (recommended)
Kadabra lv. 85 (recommended)
Gyarados lv. 80
Aggron lv. lv. 69-70

Sydney's easy; just use a fighting type (Machoke or Haryama; about lv. 50) and you' ll wipe the floor with 'em (I use Swellow, though, because Sydney uses some grass types).
I recommend using Mightyena for Phoebe, because by level 55 or 57, it knows Crunch and Thief (great dark moves).
Glacia's annoying, but you can crush her using your fighting type pokemon again, or you could use a fire type (Blaziken=perfect choice, because it's fire and fighting). Have them about lv. 60.
Drake's tough, too. Gyarados is an exellent choice, because it learns dragon type moves (which dragon pokemon are, in turn, vulnerable to), but isn't a dragon itself, so dragon type attacks can't severly damage it back (be about lv. 65 for him).
Steve's pretty easy if you have dependable fire and water pokemon, because all of his pokemon are vulnerable to either (except his Cradily; which is vulnerable only to fighting types).

This probably isn't anything new to you, but I find it the most succesful way to defeat the pokemon league.

[Mallick]

I used ALMost the same party!!!!
Blaziken level 99
Swellow level 87
Poocheyena level 90 (I didn't let it evolve)
and the rest the same!!!!!!!

[Golden Legacy]

May as well post this now:

Okay...

*draws breath*

To keep this as short as possible, each Pokemon has a certain set of DV's (also known as IV's), and I don't know what that stands for. BUT, it determines the stats of your Pokemon, and the highest possible number for each one (HP, (Special) Attack, Speed, etc.)

Shiny Pokemon DO NOT have MAXED OUT DV's, but, they have above average DV's, guaranteed. So, Shiny Pokemon may not have the greatest stats possible for that specific Pokemon, but you can be sure that it's at least quite decent.

[el_Sethro]

shiney pokémon are very rare and have significantly higher stats than normal. it WILL maintain it's shinyness when evolved.

[Someone Else]

I caught a shiny wild, uh, what was it called? A Zigzagoon, yeah! Thats the only shiny pokemon I've caught.

[ForteGX]

You've got a pretty balanced party, Zaffa, but you should still try to level up to at least lv. 60...

I hope that I helped, here are my pokemon (again) but with their moves (all male):

Blaziken (Inferno) lv. 100
Blaze Kick
Mirror Move
Slash
Sky Uppercut

Swellow (Glide) lv. 80
Fly
Endeavor
Aerial Ace
Agility

Mightyena (Nightmare) lv. 85
Take Down
Taunt
Crunch
Thief

Kadabra lv. 85
Recover
Role Play
Future Sight
Psychic

Gyarados lv. 80
Twister
Rain Dance
Dragon Dance
Hydro Pump

Aggron lv. 69-70
Iron Tail
Protect
Metal Sound
Double Edge

You'll probably think that I'm dumb for making Gyarados forget Hyper Beam, but the attack was less accurate than Hydro Pump, and I didn't want to get rid of Rain Dance or Dragon Dance, because they're handy to have if you need to raise his power.

I don't prefer using TMs or HM's on this particular party, and I also don't use any of the legendary pokemon for battling, strange as that sounds...

You two are lucky, I've never even seen a shiny pokemon in Ruby. (I caught a whole bunch in Silver, thanks to Game Shark! <_<)

Is it a good idea to teach Aerial Ace to Blaziken? Or is Sky Uppercut the better deal?

[ForteGX]

Zaffa, your Blaziken can learn both; compared to Aerial Ace, Peck is a useless attack. Make Blaziken forget Peck, and teach it Aerial Ace. Blaziken can also learn Fire Punch, but not by leveling up...you have to visit the Move Tutor to learn it.

[MysticWarrior]

Gyarados lv. 80
Twister
Rain Dance
Dragon Dance
Hydro Pump

;) Gyarados can have much more potential than that.

[Mycarayne]

I have a pack of six Arcanines in gold (not duplicates either!!) This party never lost against the elite four (Genocide can do it alone!) I did run into trouble when facing the water type though... Anyway, they are:
(the thing in brackets is the user name - all mine -- currently 141 hours in "Franko")

Genocide Lv 100 (Franko)
Flamethrower
Crunch (Bred)
Hidden Power
Extremespeed

Renegade Lv 100 (Blaine)
Flamethrower
Bite
Extremespeed
Hyper Beam

Tempest Lv 90 (Indora)
Flamethrower
Dragon Breath

Sunny Day

Overkill Lv 89 (Gold)

Hidden Power
Iron Tail

Chronicle Lv 76 (Terra) -- Only female in pack
Roar
Sleep
Snore
Sleep Talk

Firestorm Lv 97 (Neil)
Flamethrower
Fire Blast

Incase anyone cant tell, Arcanine was my hands down favourite. Oh yeah, I have two really rare things to. A shiny Zapdos (obviosly Sharked I think) and a *ta da* Unhacked mew. Wow! But i got him at Lv 91 -- and he didnt have transform *sob*

[Tao]

Eh, my friend does a lot of cheating on these games. I was looking at all her items and things on her Sapphire version and she had 99 Master Balls or something? 99 of all the TMs, and a Mewtwo and some other stuff... And she said 'How do you know?' when I said how bad it was for her to cheat.

[ForteGX]

MysticWarrior, on Jul 31 2004, 10:55 PM, said:

I'm still experimenting with moves; and like I said, I combine Offensive and Support moves (though, Rain Dance seems useless; so I'll probably replace it with Hyper Beam).

I've got a few reserves aswell, along with countless other Mewtwos, but too many make it boring.

I'm not a fan of Gyarados, unless it's changed on Ruby it's got too amny weakness and it's not fast enough. I like high speed and high special, but Tyranitar is okay because 4 of his five stats are above 280, the bad one being speed.

As for memories remain what's with all the Arcanine? Just coz it's your favourite doesn't mean you a party of it! In that case i'd have a party a Gengar which'd be slaughtered by a decent dark or pyschic, the same goes for your Arcanine, a good water type would kill 'em all, Starmie or even Gyarados.

i lost track how many times i killed the elite four, atleast a 100, i've been playing for around 200 hours and i'm missing Blissey, Togotic, Celebi and something else for a 251 pokedex (and it's not mew).

[ForteGX]

Did you use cheats or Gameshark to reach these levels?

(Yeah, the "countless Mewtwos" are obviously the result of cheats, but maybe you leveled up honestly?)

[Dullahan]

No, just hardwork and determination.

You see Blue is my rarity file, it completes the game and gives the Mewtwo, Articuno,Zapdos, Moltres, starter and both Snorlaxs to Yellow which is my storage file, which stores everything that's not on Silver or Gold. I use the time capsule to trade to silver if i want to. I think i've got eight different Mewtwo's at lvl 100 varying in quality and another two in the 70's. I had the motivation to do this, my to friends also wanted the best party. I originally had the best Mewtwo and Gengar, no one got close to the Gengar's stats only me with my one on silver bettered it, however the Mewtwo wasn't better they just got three or four that where close so i played through Blue and got lot's more, put them on Yellow and leveled them up to lvl100 to see if they where any good and because they where traded they level up faster. Every spare 20 minutes i had i fought an elite four. I was the pokemon champion at my high school. When the craze took hold and every one played it. i spent my breaks and dinners crushing any party that dared challenge mine (and there where lot's of them). All that was about 4 years ago now. Good memories.

BELIVE IT OR NOT



Shining Pokemon are actually WEAKER than the original. Jsut rarer and more eyecandy. Yers, red garados is actually weaker than the origianal. They just ahve goiod stats when caught but have a bad growth rate.

[ForteGX]

I thought that the only difference between Shiny and normal pokemon was visual...

Aww, this means that nobody read my previous post about Shiny Pokemon... and DV's...

Shiny Pokemon have ABOVE AVERAGE stats: so, they may or may not possess greater stats than "normal" Pokemon. However, you can be guaranteed that it's at least decent, which is why, stat-wise, they are fine.

[Silo STATIC]

I just beat the Pokémon League Champion in Ruby ...

... Fwew ... I'm beat!

[ForteGX]

Did you get Beldum afterwords?

[Silo STATIC]

Of course I got Beldum. What other self-respecting trainer would forget to get it? :lol:

[ForteGX]

I hate raising that thing; takes forever to level up.

[Silo STATIC]

Not with the EXP Share. ;)

It's already lv. 31 for me, thanks to ^.

[ForteGX]

Usually, my first five pokemon always remain the same, and in the sixth slot (where Aggron is most of the time), I'll have a different pokemon wearing EXP. Share. I battle the Elite Four repetatively and let the last pokemon (with the EXP-S) get all the EXP. points. It's the safest way to level up. But with pokemon like Metagross and Salamence, it doesn't work too well.

[Silo STATIC]

I took the Elite Four challenge again ... - -;

Now I'm stuck, and I want to get something outside first. Oh well, at least I'm up at Drake now.

But I have just 3 Full Restores left!!! ; ;

[ForteGX]

I usually don't use items like those (Full Heal/Restore, etc.)...I sell 'em for cash! And with that cash, I buy more items! And then I walk around with those items for a while, and then sell 'em again! Nothing really changes...'cept that I have less money, and I fight the Elite Four completely unprepared...but then again, most of my party's over level 80, and by then, you don't need recovery items to survive them anymore.

And besides, if your Glalie and Blaziken are still in good fighting condition, you should beat the Elite Four easily!

[Silo STATIC]

Should I have Glalie hold the Quick Claw or the Nevermeltice when I face Drake? Usually, his Flygon are faster than Glalie, but are a lot more vulnerable when I have her hold the Nevermeltice.

Oh, and when it was down to the last turn for both me and Steven, and all my Pokémon fainted as sacrifice to bring Groudon back, I let Manectric faint, then brought out Groudon and used Earthquake on Metagross' remaining HP, and I won. What can I do to escape that last life-threatening moment?

Oh, and by the way, I did an experiment with the EXP. Share on Metang, and already after the first three in the Elite Four did it go up to lv. 40 after Glacia. Top that, sir. :(

[ForteGX]

OK. I'm gonna' try to keep my responses organized. I'm assuming that the "Dream Team" on the previous page is your current party:

1) Unfortunaly, your Glalie's ice attacks seem to be in short number (PP wise, that is); if memory serves, Blizzard and Sheer Cold have only a 5 PP maximum each, and Ice Beam has 10 PP...plus, you've probably used her in battle...so I'd equip her with the Nevermelt Ice; you'll want to squeeze as much damage out of her as possible. The only serious threat from Flygon is his Dragon Breath anyway.

2) Save Blaziken for the Steven battle. If he knows Fire Punch or Blaze Kick, you can wipe out Metagross in 1 turn. If you do use Groudon, though, I'd use a Dire Hit on him, and then use Fire Blast (another 1-2 hit KO)

3) Oh, you're good. I have to have fought the Elite four at least 5 times just to have gotten Metang to evolve into Metagross. You're pretty close to having him evolve, yourself (I think he evolves at lvl. 48...).

[Silo STATIC]

I've defeated Drake, and now I'm conducting my "battle flow" through Steven's Pokémon. So far, I use Groudon's Fire Blast on Skarmory (1-Hit KO), then it's Earthquake on Aggron (1-Hit KO), then I switch out to Glalie and use Blizzard on Cradily (1-Hit KO; low accuracy). Claydol is another thing. I'm still working on what I should do against this menace, so I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

And Metang evolves into Metagross at lv. 45. I have the guide, so I should know.

[MysticWarrior]

You need a strategy to beat the elite four? O_o All I do is rush in and whack them upside the head with the pokemon on top of my party. First time around.

How much harder (if at all) are they than the elite four on silver?
That's pathetic, i did it once with a level 38 Gengar.

You have to have strong pokemon to do that, though...at least lv. 60...

I use one pokemon for each Elite Four battle, and never switch out; it's not worth losing a turn.

Did any one of play pokemon ruby?? Because I need help and I thought I could ask one of you guys because ur a expert gamer. ( I was talking about all of you guys). So can some one help me??

[Silo STATIC]

Pocket Monsters Discussion

You know, you gotta stop making these topics. It's just spam, ya know? There is already a topic like this. Try to stay out of trouble, okay? ^_^

EDIT: Oh, and if you ever need help, ask me.

[Mallick]

or me!!!I used to play Pokemon and have Ruby version somewhere at the back of my closet lol!

[Chaos Legion]

I own Pokemon Ruby and i will be glad to help you ^_^

[Isaac`]

Ok since you guys will be able to help me here it is ::


(Only for now) ( Iwill need help later on so thanx)!!

I need to know if this a good team against the 7th gym leader...

So here it is:

1) Seadra
Lv:35
Hp:90
Attacks: Blizzard, Hidden power, Water gun, Twister

2) Zangoose
Lv:35
Hp:103
Attacks: Slash, Crush Claw, Thunder, Thunderbolt

3) Sceptile
Lv: 37
Hp: 107
Leaf Blade, Agility, Quick Attack, Solarbeam

4) Anorith
Lv:37
Hp:90
Attacks: Metal Claw, Return, Aneintpower, Ariel Ace


So thats my team>>> Hey you guys do you want me to change any thing, get new pokemon to battle with, change attacks or which ones to keep?????????

So any recommendations??????????

[ForteGX]

I believe the 7th gym is in Mossdeep city, correct? The leaders are Liza and Tate, and they use the psychic combo of Solrock and Lunatone. You're going to want a high level (about 45) Mightyena and a high level Dusclops. It's a 2-on-2 battle, so send both out at once. You may want some strong water pokemon, too (Seadra's ok, but do you have a strong Gyarados or Sealeo or Wailmer?).

[Chaos Legion]

mossdeep gym was kinda tough, your team should do ok, if you cant then get a strong dark and water type pokemon like forteGX said.

[Dullahan]

And the difficulty compaered to silver's elite four?

Anyway what's your favourite pokemon?

Mewtwo is not allowed as it is too strong just makes it boring.

Mine personal favourite is Gengar. I just love the Ghost type. Complete protection from Fighting and Normal type moves. The only other ghost i've used is Misdreavus and it's moves where...interesting. Hyponosis and Dream Eater is such a lethal combination. My best Gengar kills ANYTHING that isn't Psychic or faster than it with an Earth or Psychic move like Earthquake or Psychic.

[ForteGX]

Alakazam's my favorite; always was, always will be. Nintendo must like him, too, to include him in every pokemon series to date.

But I hate acquiring him; you have to trade. Right now, in Ruby I only have a Kadabra; but, thankfully, all I need is to rent Pokemon Colosseum, link up my GBA and GCN, send my party to Colosseum, and Kadabra will finally evolve.

I see that Dullahan suffers the same problem with Gengar.

[Dullahan]

I've no problem i've got a gbc and an original gb aswell as a gba. I've also got a link lead and blue, red,yellow and silver versions of the game. I just trade Haunter to one and trade the Gengar back again.

I do have a query though. I don't know whether to evolve Haunter at lvl 25 when it evolves or at lvl 100 when it's finished. I usually to the lvl 25 one as i think Gengar gets better stat boosts. i think it learns Dream Eater the same level as Haunter anyway.

[Mycarayne]

My fav's arcanine -- as previously stated. Looks cool, Cool name, Excellent stats and basically undefeatable at high levels (thats a bit of an overstatement) Totally makes grass ans ice piss as well. I think I'll go and get Pokemon gold out, I havent played it 'bout a year.

[Dullahan]

Do you really use a squad of Arcanine?
Charizard's a better fire type anyway

[Mycarayne]

Yes, I do -- I know what your thinking to -- but its alot stronger than you think. It does have its weakness's though. ie: water *I hate water* and rock *hehe heh tyranitar* or "bonecrush" as I call him. Lv 66 he is and a strong little bugger to.

charizard is better, as he can learn a rock move and has flying as well, but arcanines my fav, so I use him instead. I have another party, thats more rounded, but from what I can remember, I deleted it once I started again, so Its pretty weak at the moment

[Dullahan]

Is that Tyranitar at lvl 66?

I've got one at lvl100 and he's amazing.

HP:340's
ATK:356
DEF:330's
SPL ATK:292
SPL DEF:282
SPD:200ish
MOVES-Crunch, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Hyper Beam

I'm not sure on his health, def and spd but the rest is right. I've slain Mewtwos with this beast!!

[Mycarayne]

NICE! Hes 66 coz I hardly train him, but i will resume, someday, but my efforts have been concentrated on arcanine/s. He realy is my favourite. back in the day of pokemon cards, i traded 50 of the f***ers forone foil Blaines arcanine -- and since then its been in a plastic sleeve. Along with my sisters charizard tat *vanished* one day. Mwa ha ha. I also have:

L60 crobat
L60ish electrode
L90 mew

some others that i forget aswell

Nice little conversation we have here isnt it?

[Dullahan]

I've got dozens of the buggers in training but it's boring. Here's a few:

Umbreon lvl 81
Sneasel lvl 80's
Suicune lvl 92
Kingdra lvl 65
Scizor lvl 73
Houndoom lvl 83
Steelix lvl 60's
Meganium lvl 64
Feraligator lvl 59
Can't remember anymore.

There are a few that have finished training at lvl 100

Lugia
Ho-oh
Raikou
Gengar
Tyranitar

i was training all the dark types because our link battles focused around psychic's (mostly mewtwos) and Dark maims Psychic

The best thing i did with Pokemon cards was fill the base set, jungle. and Fossil, then i stopped. The only thing i've got left is lot's of Gengars, Haunters and Ghastly.

This is a nice conversation, isn't it?

[Mycarayne]

big fan of umbreon - you reminded me of the name, got a level 40 something. I agree, once they get to 50-70, it takes to long, but once I get to 80, they are usually lvl 100 within a couple of days, coz I just did the elite 4 over and over (car trips help too) I never use rare candies except for things i want to breed. (learn moves quicker. ie crunch) I have a good kingdra too, lvl 45 or something. None of mine hold a candle to yours though

Edit: your quotes remind me of something...
I had heaps of cards once, but I only kept 'bout 10 of 'em -- the rares and foil ones, they might be worth somthing in a few years

[Dullahan]

How long have you been playing though. I've been playing around 190 hours, a lot of that is elite four fighting, car journeys are helpful. Steel is a good type, there's not much with it though.

My top 3 favourite types:

1) Ghost
2) Dark
3) Psychic

As for my quotes

the first is from Face of Fear in Odyssey
and the second is from Skullscorch in Torment.

I know your first quote is from Elvish Pioneer (the onslaught version) and the second is from Rush of Knowledge from Scourge.

[ForteGX]

There aren't enough Dark or Steel type pokemon...most of them are half Dark or half Steel. You don't seen many 100% Dark or Steel pokemon.

[Dullahan]

There's enough Dark but not Steel.

Dark i can remember:

Umbreon
Murkrow
Houndoom
Tyranitar

Maybe there isn't but loads of things learn Crunch!!

I do have a query though. I don't know whether to evolve Haunter at lvl 25 when it evolves or at lvl 100 when it's finished. I usually to the lvl 25 one as i think Gengar gets better stat boosts. i think it learns Dream Eater the same level as Haunter anyway.

This depends...if you stick with Haunter until level 100, he'll definatly level up faster. But if Gengar really does earn better stat bonuses as he levels up, then I'd chooses the latter; but you didn't seem very sure...

[Dullahan]

This shall be my last post for taday as the library is closing.
I think it gets better special, Speed and HP as Gengar than Haunter and besides it looks cooler.

Who's gonna grab the new Pokémon: Fire Red & Leaf Green versions? I'd rather pre-order them, because there's an offer for a pocket strategy guide in return.

http://www.nintendo.com/newsarticle?articl...5f-f916c7cd98c7

Also, I dug up some information about both games AND the overwhelming instant kick-off production of Pokémon: Emerald!

Pokémon: Fire Red & Leaf Green: http://www.serebii.net/red_green/

Pokémon: Emerald: http://www.serebii.net/emerald/

I wanna make note if those browsing these sources are lost: look on the right-side toolbar near the top, underneath "Sections" to look at in-depth coverage that Pokémon Emerald features. I'm not gonna spoil anything in this post, so once you've seen it, go ahead and talk about it. :blink:

[ForteGX]

Well, you already know that I'm picking up Fire Red, Silo; but I'm still a bit iffy about Emerald.

[Silo STATIC]

Eh, okay ...

Oh wow, you got 500 posts. Only 500 more to go to be one of the PW3N'rs here at GSSF. :blink:

[Cosmos]

Just to clear up the Shiny Pokemon debate, in Red/Blue/Yellow (Color Generation), there were no shiny Pokemon. In Gold/Silver/Crystal, when you ran into a wild battle, if the wild pokemon had high enough IVs (if you are an old-school Pokemon mechanics expert, you will know as DVs) in every status area, it was made shiny. In Ruby/Sapphire, shiny pokemon are random, and have nothing to do with stats. When it comes to Ruby and Sapphire, if you have a question, you can ask me, I know the game mechanics like the back of my hand.

By the way, the reason that whoever mentioned that their Gyrados was weaker than their Red Gyrados, was partially wrong. The regular Gyrados would have less IVs, or permanent values that alter their stats, but since you have raised it for longer, it would have higher EVs, which work sort of like more complicated EXP that affect only one stat area at a time. If you gave your Red Gyrados the right treatment, (not just bashing wild Pokemon, but "specific" wild pokemon) it could end out being your best party member. I may explain more if people want it and I feel like it.

[Silo STATIC]

I read about IVs and DVs ... but they're soOo @#%$in' confusing!!! x x;

[Cosmos]

Well, my favorite subject is math, and I am an avid TI-89 calculator programmer, and most of my games have battle systems, so I found it fairly simple. But I could imagine it to be confusing.

[ForteGX]

Yeah...I don't understand the IV/DV stuff at all...plus; I cheated on my Pokemon Silver game (Thank you, GameShark!).

[Cosmos]

The IVs, well, I'm too tired to explain, but the EVs, each Pokemon will have certain EVs it gives out, (Rattatas give out speed EVs, Machops give out attack EVs, etc.) and if you fight a lot of pokemon that give out a certain type of EV, that stat will be raised slightly more than others. That is my VERY brief explaination. :mellow:

I looked at a screenshot of a lv. 100 Unown with very low stats, and I wonder if it was just an example of IVs/DVs? :rolleyes:

IV, DV, Eevee, whatever. I just have an interesting question:

Anorith or Lileep? Which did you choose?

[Cosmos]

Flip a coin to chose, then make sure you get a female, (so you can have more than one via breeding). Unless you are lucky enough to have two cartridges, two Gameboys, and a link cable! (I personally prefer Lileep)

My three favourite pokemon (excluding Mewtwo) are;

Gengar
Tyranitar
Charizard

[ForteGX]

My top 3 are...

Alakazam
Gyarados
Houndoom

[Dullahan]

Is your Houndoom lvl 100? Mine's 81 and i want to know if it's worth finishing off.

[ForteGX]

Sorry, can't answer that. I don't have my PKM Silver anymore; sold it with about 29 other GBC games. The only version I have left is Ruby (maybe even my old PKM Blue...but I can't find it), and only one of my Pokemon is level 100.

Houndoom is a good pokemon, though...yeah...level him up.

[Dullahan]

Yeah, he's got some good moves, mines got Crunch, Faint Attack, Flamethrower and Fire Blast. His defence is a bit low though.

What is your lvl 100 pokemon?

[ForteGX]

Blaziken is my only lvl. 100 pokemon. Kadabra's well on the way, though. I think he's level 95.

[Dullahan]

What the hell is a Blaziken?!

A ruby one, obviuosly but what's it's types and stats?

[ForteGX]

Blaziken is a Fire and Fighting type pokemon. I don't know it's specific stats, but it has one signature move: Blaze Kick.

They're supposed to have extremely powerful legs. It's the evolved form of Torchic; one of the pokemon you choose at the beginning of the game.

(Anyone think nicknaming pokemon is corny?)

[Dullahan]

They have signature moves now?

The names are pretty bad, squirtle and Mareep are some examples.

Which is better Ruby or Sapphire and i'll buy that one.

[ForteGX]

They don't have signature moves. But I think that Blaziken is the only pokemon that learns Blaze Kick.

They do have special abilities, though; various powers that activate automatically. For example, Kadabra has "Inner Focus", so he cannot flinch in battle. Swellow has "Guts" which raises his attack when his health is low, and Gyarados has "Intimidate" which lowers the attack of the first pokemon to see him.

Silo and I have Ruby, but it seems that a lot of people prefer Sapphire. It depends, do you like Groudon (left) or Kyogre (right)?

[Dullahan]

The colonel is back!

What's the difference between the 2 and which one is better, from looks it'd be the left one.

[ForteGX]

Well, I had a tough time deciding between Ruby and Sapphire. I wanted Sapphire because I love the color blue (a stupid reason, of course), but I decided on Ruby, because I really wanted Groudon.

Groudon is a Fire and Ground type pokemon. I've been neglecting all of my legendary pokemon, so I don't know much about the moves it learns.

And by the looks of it, Kyogre is a Water type. You'll have to ask someone with Sapphire for the details.

Another difference between Ruby and Sapphire is the "Team" that you fight against. Ruby=Team Magma, Sapphire=Team Aqua; it doesn't make much difference in the storyline.

Also, there are those few exclusive pokemon.

Ruby:

Groudon
Seedot, Nutzleaf, Shiftree
Illumise
Minun
Duskull, Dusklops

Sapphire:

Kyogre
Lotad, Lombre, Ludicolo
Volbeat
Plusle
Shuppet, Banette

(Some of these pokemon can be found in both games)

etc. etc. etc.

It all depends on which pokemon you like best.

[Eugine]

I prefer Ruby, the Pokemon is Ruby I prefer.

[Dullahan]

Ruby it is then!

You can get Volbeat and Illumise in either version, man. They're just a little rarer than the one that's a predicament to the game. =/

[ForteGX]

Same as Plusle and Minun; I did say that some are found in both games.

[Cosmos]

As a correction, Groudon is not Ground/Fire, he is only Ground. And please, Kyogre is so much better.

[ForteGX]

But *sniff* Groudon caused a giant drought. What do you and your flood say to that?!

Then there's the Latios/Latias debate, too.

[Cosmos]

I'm sure a flood would cause much more damage than a drought anyday... :lol:

[Silo STATIC]

Cosmos, on Aug 10 2004, 05:24 PM, said:

It's a tie, actually. But either way, you can't have a drought and a flood at the same time. And also, even if there's been a flood, people can find ways to live on water. So, floods aren't all that great, since you need water. =/

[Silo STATIC]

*revive*

Keep them reviews coming.

[MysticWarrior]

Reviving topics without anything meaningful to say is spam, so please don't do it again.

I prefer Groudon. People can live on water (like one of the towns have proven in the game perfectly), but a drought, everyone will die of thirst sooner or later. Plus, Groudon looks way cooler than Kyogre!

[ForteGX]

Alright. Just so this revival isn't meaningless...

Who'd you choose as your starting pokemon (in either game)?

Charmander, Cyndiquil, and Torchic for me.

[Silo STATIC]

I second Forte's choice, but when you're going to face Brock/Roxanne in RBY/RS as your first Gym Leader, it pays to have Squirtle/Mudkip or Bulbasaur/Treecko as a starter.

[ForteGX]

Yeah. You always have a bumpy start with fire types in the beginning of the game, but towards the end it really pays to have 'em (especially in Ruby/Sapphire; Blaziken's an invaluble pokemon to have for the Steven fight).

[Silo STATIC]

Agreed.

[NuMou Sniper]

In my silver version I have one special shiny pokemon that was VERY VERY hard to get. Togepi. Thats right a Togepi. When I went to get the egg I saved first the I kept restarting my game until finally it was a shiny one.

[Silo STATIC]

That must be painstaking work right there. ><;

[Golden Legacy]

In other news, Nintendo plans on releasing a special GameBoy SP for the Pokemon Emerald release.

[NuMou Sniper]

Silo STATIC, on Aug 20 2004, 10:10 PM, said:

Believe me it was it took me about 10 hours of reseting.

[Silo STATIC]

It's just completely random getting your own shining Pokémon, but it's certainly nearly impossible, as well. =/

[NuMou Sniper]

I think the odds of getting one is like 1 out of 14,000.

[Mycarayne]

it aint that bad, its about 5000, not 14000. but i see your point, its pointless. what merit do you get from it? I mean, shiny pokemon look cooler, and there stats may be better....er, wait, I'll stop there

[Chosen One]

is it possible to have your starting off pokemon shiny, like torchic or something?

[ForteGX]

If you really want a shiny pokemon that badly, buy a gameshark and cheat your way to finding one; that's what I did in Silver! -_-

[Isaac13]

You trained your Groudon well. My blaziken and groudon were on level 100 when they entered the pokemon league. And yeah. your team is okay, but... raise the levels of your other pokemon! They are good, but at least get them on level 50-59. That will be a winner in the pokemon league!

[NuMou Sniper]

You will probably want to train your pokemon up to at least lv. 50. Also teach Groudon these moves: Solarbeam, Ancient Power (move tutor), Fire Blast, and Earthquake. With those moves your Groudon will be almost unstoppable. For Seadra get rid off Waterfall (its not that great) and teach it Surf. Also get rid of Ancient Power and give it another ice move or dragon move. Also teach Sceptile Earthquake if you can. Thats all I can think of so far. Need anymore help just email me or something. My team is unbeatable because of move combos and stuff like that I know just about everything about this game so just ask if your stuck.

[shadowknight]

to me that was the eysiest gym battle in the game. I beat everyone with one pokemon and I didnt even have to go back to the poke center. But I beat it with a lv 50 Mightyena nicknamed "Wraith" :mellow: . Also the only attack i used was crunch :(

[Mysterious Adept]

Well If your on the pokemon league then you need to match there weekness,

1st:
Sydney:Uses Dark,

Against him you want to use a pokemon that knows a fight type move,against all his pokemon,

2nd:
Can't Remember the name:Uses Ghost,

Against her you want to use dark type moves

3rd:
Glacia:Uses Ice,

Fire Or Fight Type moves should work well

4th:
Can't remember the name:Uses Dragon,

Ice type moves is what you want to use

Final:
Steven:Uses Steel,

Fire,Water are the main moves i used,Fight Does work on some of his pokemon

There ya go

[Someone Else]

Hmm... Pkmn Fire and Leaf is released now... so I'll revive this.

Anyways its a great game, the music especially, was done very nicely :) and when you use the new item, the VS Seeker, it's funny to watch the little dudes jump up and down when they want to battle with you again. :blink:

For those of you who don't know Pokemon Fire and Leaf are remakes of the original games (we don't have yellow yet though).

Anyhoo, my Pokemon party is going good, except for my level 22 Mankey... >_< She's surprisingly weak for a fighting type. Well that's all I have to say for now.

[Ganon]

the only three pokemon i use in leaf green

CLEFABLE:level 36 strong
VENASAUR:level 35-36
FEAROW:level 33(is training)

[Someone Else]

Have you ever noticed that the enemy usually spends half their time trying to lower your stats instead of ACTUALLY battling? It's very irritating. >_<

[Ganon]

yes that makes the game to easy at sometimes thats why i never use healing items it gives me a challenge

[Nino]

I aint playing neither of em coz i really hate pokemon.

Nothing wrong with the game, just that its.....irritating...!

Best Pkmn game (according to me) is Pkmn Blue

[Ganon]

PKMN is now officaly annoying it could mean pokemon or pikmin :blink:

[Nino]

first of all

Pikmin is sh**

second of all

Pokem'on i also sh**

[Someone Else]

You know, you really need to stop making these posts Nino, it's just spam to make your post count higher, you know? No ones going to respect you if you keep doing this. -_-

Okay, I'm battling a wild, lvl 30 Snorlax and I can't catch him, any sudgestions?

Well fire red and leaf green is meant to be a revamp of the old Pokemon games Lin...unless I'm mistaken...cool idea Silo, this prevents any dupe topics from being produced.

I've seen a clip or 2 of the game, and so far, I'm lovin' the enhanced battle themes! ^_^

[Nick Presta]

These attacks have been present since Gold and Silver.

[Kikuichimonji]

Hmm, that's true...anyway, I'm gonna get it next weekend, but because of my recent anime imports, (which cost me with shipping), i may not get it until mid october

[The Postman]

B) You know, the only reason I'm actually reading this is because I actually felt like playing pokemon lately , but I sold my old gameboy games to get my GBA SP, so I can't... :(

[gsninja]

Nah, you can still play. In my Sapphire version, I caught a shining grey Slugma. I don't think it's a virus; I saw somewhere that chances of catching pokemon like these are less than 1%.

[The Postman]

Nah I can't, cause I sold the actual games.

[Nick Presta]

Shiny pokemon are very rare and fall almost in the same category as an Tisiphone edge, as you have a 1/256 chance of obtaining it.

[Kikuichimonji]

omg really!!! I thought it was a virus so last time I switched my GBA off hoping it would go away! what's special about those pokemon btw

[Nino]

I got some weird stuff on my sapphire.

At my pokemons status it said PkRs or something.

Don't swear please. -Nick

[Nick Presta]

Nothing is special about shiny pokemon. They are just extrememly rare. Same stats if not crappier.

[Kikuichimonji]

meh, at least I haven't missed out on something, anyway I still haven't got a mirage Island sensitive pokemon

o.O Dont worry. You'll get there eventually.

If I'm not terribly mistaken, you only get to see Mirage Island on a nearly rare basis; not from a Pokémon that should indicate when it appears. Ask the man in the far right house of Pacifidlog Town if he sees Mirage Island that day.

[Kikuichimonji]

Umm, but I swear the guy says you need a pokemon to do so, maybe I was day dreaming

[Silo STATIC]

He was talking about the Sealed Chamber, in which is the key to get Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. In order to open up the tombs across Hoenn that conceal each of those three Pokémon, you would need a Relicanth at the top of your party, and a Wailord at the bottom. If you get into the farthest chamber of the Sealed Chamber, and interact (press A) with the one braile marking at the far north wall, just wait a second and there'll be an indication that the tombs are open.

If you want to know how to get to the Sealed Chamber, it'll be hard to describe.

[Kikuichimonji]

meh, i've done that don't worry!

[Silo STATIC]

Alright, just checking.

[Kikuichimonji]

mind you though, the regis were annoying!

[gsninja]

Yeah, they were. I just got Fire Red on the 24th.

[Ganon]

any one have any tips for the elite four in lf?

[Echo_djinn]

Just to say I never could beat the elite four without cheating with the rare candies...(I know its sad) I never had the time to level up my pokemon for that long so I just went killing them all and grabing Mewtwo

[Elliott]

Ah pokemon, where would we be without it, I first saw pokemon back in 1998, the first time it was on TV in australia, then I got red version, beat it, blue version, beat in, yellow version, beat it. By this time I was a pokemon nut, and loved every minute of it. Then I got silver and beat that, thats when the novelty started to wear off, I starting getting rid of my pokemon merchandise, and disliking it a lot. By 2002, I was totally over this series. A bit sad, but I guess people just move on, I still don't mind the games, but the TV show and merchandise is so childish (IMO anyway).

[ForteGX]

Nah, I agree. The games are great for all ages, but the franchise is just...bleah...

[Linear]

*sweatdrop* ^^;;; Pokemon...gets boring sometimes...no offense to the pokemon obssersers...

[Elliott]

The whole TV, Movie, toys, cards, and other related accessories seem too childish for anyone over 10 (in my opinion). But as Forte said, the games themselves (what started it all) are pretty much fun for anyone under 17 or 18 (when you reach that age, you get a real life :blink: j/k).

[Mycarayne]

I couldn't agree with you more Agatio and FGX. I watched one episode of Pokemon and I still have nightmares lol. I used to collect the cards, but that was for about a month or two (Still have 2 left come to think of it). The game however, accompanied me on many-a-car trips. I've had files with well over one hundred hours of gameplay. Truely addictive. One of the best games to grace the gameboy color.

[Someone Else]

CHECK THIS OUT:

http://www.pokemonel....com/index.html

read the part where it talks about Pokemon Diamond and... whatever the other one was.

While that is cool, I thought we'd get a new Pokemon Crystal/Gold/Silver, since those were the best versions in my opinion.

[gsninja]

I got Fire Red for my birthday. It's really good and Kanto looks a lot better in the game. I'm almost done with the game; I'm in Victory Road. The pokemon games are for sure the most popular pokemon merchandise on the markets.

[Linear]

=X ayee, if pokemon stuff get any better. :D like...I dont know how much, maybe I'll start to look at them again. But I'm not much of a fan of it anymore, considering I dont have time for TV anymore.

To me, pokemon is...old! My brothers dont watch it either. Er, so, it's no surprise.

Ok...that's your opinion.

Anyways...I'm just watching a friend of mine play the leaf version, and the sounds sound so cute and funny. I wanted to play right when my friend died. Ayee, yes, my friend died in the game because he was having too much time with the cute new songs.

Ive always liked gold the best. Well, that is the only one I have. I nearly fainted when I got growlithe the first time. Mwa! Then it took me ages how to get an arcanine :D *thinks firestone* Arcanine rocks.

I love Pokemon Ruby!!! I like all those new Pokemon! I have got more than 2 boxes off Lvl 100 Pokemon and I am pround! ^_^ I like those new fighting types like Breloom and Blaziken very much, I think they need a place in a new SSB game!

EDIT: I have played RUby over 500 hours! And I still love it!! I got Fire Red too, but it is not as good as Ruby! Ruby was one of the best games I ever played. Well... in fact it IS the game I had the most fun with! I played red, yellow, gold and cristal too and beaten them. I hope that Nintendo makes a remake of GOld and Silver too and call it something like: Scared Gold and Aero Silver... I liked gold very much so I hope to see Johto in the GBA or DS way...

This is what I think that is the best PKMN team ever. (From all over the world)
(HP means Hidden Power)

1:

Mewtwo item: Salac Berry Nature: Modest Moves: Psychic, Recover, HP, Calm Mind

Charizard item: Charcoal Nature: Quiet Moves: Blast Burn, Fly, Eartquake, Flametrower.

Lugia item: Choise Band Nature: Adamant Moves: Psychic, Aeroblast, Fly, Recover

Rayqauza item: Dragon Fang Nature: Timid Moves: Outrage, Dragon Claw, Ice Beam, Flametrower

Pikachu item: Light Ball (SP. ATK X 2 By Light Ball rolleyes.gif) Nature: Modest Moves: Thunder, Attract, Rain Dance, Surf (can be learned if you have PKMN Box and store MAAAAANY Pokemon in it you get a Pichu egg who knows Surf!)

Kyorge item: Mystic Water Nature: Modest Moves: Surf, Thunder, Calm Mind, Ice Beam.

It's a great team I think! Butt you can change Kyorge for Articuno which knows Mind Reader and Sheer Cold (hehehehe that combo NEVER failes) to destroy your opponent's PKMN in 1 hit. And if you think that Pikachu has to low defenses, change it for Breloom (item: Salac Berry, Nature: Brave Moves: Mach Punch, Sky Uppercut, Leech Seed, Toxic)

Yeah I do! I heard that there are coming more new Pokémon! The only one who sure comes is the pre-evolution of Snorelax called Muchlax! Hahah that dude looks so funny! Look at him on www.serebii.net and then click: The new Pokemon generation!

Ok i know this is old, but i was playing my blue version the other day and,well the same puzzle from year four still bothers me. Does anyone know either of these 2 things.wHAT Tthe truck next to the ss.anne is there for, and the keys at the gaming center? What are these things? What's under the truck.

[Nick Presta]

The whole Truck/SS. Anne thing is nothing. People said you could get Mew by using the "Return to town without the ship sailing" trick and using strength on the truck by Mewtwo.

It's all wrong. Nintendo put it in to confuse us X.X

[Silo STATIC]

I don't know what you mean by that, since as far I can remember, there were no vehicles in Blue version.

I liked Gold the best. Ho-Oh kicked so much arse with Sacred Fire.

ok, that explains that, but what about the keys?

[Echo_djinn]

I thought you needed all the pokemon in the game and then you had to chat to the guy in the place were you get an Evee(Yes I remember all this)to get Mew. Correct me if I am wrong.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Yay this topic is alive again! :D

Ya this is spam...

[Mallick]

Do you mean Mewtwo, ED? Sorry, I don't know which game you're talking about, and I haven't played since June. >.>;;;

[Echo_djinn]

I mean in pokemon red and blue and yellow I think. Anyways I thought you needed all the pokemon to get Mew. Not mewtwo because I remember how to get him.

[I'm Always BROKE]

I have got a Mewtwo on FireRed too, and he's strong! :P His SP.ATK is already above 370 on lvl 79! <_<

Actually, you could only get Mew at one of the big Pokémon conventions in New York and/or Tokyo. It was a special giveaway to those fortunate enough to come to the booth.

[Lightning Star]

i betchya didn't know this, but i have actually completed a pokemon game in my lifetime <_< yes, its true, i finished pokemon blue for my GBC. yep, big accomplishment </sarcasm> ;) i remember missingno or missingo

[Someone Else]

Check this out, d00ds! (I've talked about this before but no one seemed to care and/or notice)

http://www.pokemonel...amondpearl.html

A 3-D RPG of Pokemon eh? I'm a little tired of Pokemon to tell you the truth, battling, catching, it gets boring. But I might give this a go.

[I'm Always BROKE]

WEEEE! I am gonna read that and I am SURELY gonna buy Diamond or Pearl! :)

Problem is is that THAT one was forthe DS. If you don't have a DS you can't play it.

http://www.pokemonel...pnews04_12.html

THIS is a 3D RPG for GameCube. (you might have to scroll down to find the article on it) You'll be able to play that one, right Diddy?

[Phaiya]

I have the attention spam of 2 minutes to Pokemon, anyways, I don't think its possible to get mew, because then it would be in the guide book.
And Mewtoo alrdy stinks, so wats the point of getting new?(It might be better, Yes i tried that possibility) Also Pokemon Blue+Red is alreaedy pretty easy to beet and it's pointless after you beat the Elite 4 and cream Gary, so theirs no point left

But dude, when this game is here in Europe... I ALREADY HAVE THE DS FOR CENTURIES. :) Yeah this is spam now so: I play Pokémon alot, got some good ones, want to play Diamond/Pearl, the cities are to small (just as in GS), why can't you Dive in FireRed/LeafGreen, do you guys play with EV's too? Is this still spam? :)

[musicman2059]

Bah, I'll bet that by the time that game is released out here, Nintendo will already have their next console out. Looks like it could be a Pokémon Colosseum 2, but I won't make any assumptions until I see a battle mode.

Then again, the only use for a Colosseum 2 would be if they released (or re-released) another pokemon game, besides emerald, on the GBA, since you can already use Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, and LeafGreen for battle on Colosseum (Yes, you CAN use FR/LG on Colo. I have my FR team registered to it right now)

YOU COMPLETE IDIOT firered and leafgreen are just blue and red in color, they made them to get a quick buck.

[Ravenblade]

i kinda agree...although the wording of that was a tad harsh...leaf green and fire red WERE just a money spinning idea, which is why i just refused to buy them. Im sure they have some features that are different but i dont see the necessity in buying them.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Well to my oppion not, there are good Pokemon in those versions and the story is good too. Well I like Ruby more I think...

[Kikuichimonji]

erm, there is no such thing as pokemon diamond or pearl :angry:

and I liked crystal btw
