Why not keep those Pokémon, but create another team for battling?
I mean, if I had a Skitty, I would never use it for anything but walking around and looking at it. I’d even have cuddled with it, if that was at all possible. ^_^

I want to have one of each kind of Pokémon, so I keep the small, tiny and cute ones along with the big, strong and all too often ugly ones. ^_^
For instance, I’ll keep Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu alongside each other, but I’ll only use Raichu for competitive battling.
That said, I mostly play the 3rd generation games so I can use my Pokémon for contests as well. So I have a Pichu for contests, a Pikachu for contests and possibly battling and a Raichu for battling. And, of course, I have them because I like them.

A friend of mine combined my favorite two pokemon.

My Mew just had a grand adventure.
Basically she (I CALL HER A SHE I KNOW MEWS ARE GENDERLESS BUT YOU KNOW) had to be traded from Emerald all the way to SoulSilver via Pal Park.. but I wanted her to learn Embargo.. so I had to send her off to Diamond, teach her Embargo, and then send her back to SoulSilver.
She’s gonna be my pal now
DDD Level 10, gonna raise it up~!
I think I basically finalised my team ![]()
I got Meganium, Empoleon, current Pupitar (Will be Tyranitar), Blaziken, Kangaskhan, and now Mew. I know I should probably get another Pokemon and not Kangaskhan, but she’s been AMAZING to me. She’s won me so many battles and she can freaken beat up GHOSTS. She’s my normal bro. My pillar of strength.
Comment ID #17489
I love normal-type pokemon. Their high hp’s can make them such a pain for my opponent. Kangaskhan is one of the best normal-types in my opinion.
Comment ID #17517
I love teaching normal pokemon thunder.
I had a persian in leafgreen who I taught that and people we all, “what the f— is this bullshit?!”
Too bad skitty normalizes everything…
Comment ID #17519
Not if it has Cute Charm.
It does get STAB from all (offensive) attacks with Normalize, though.
Comment ID #17523
Yup! And becasue I don’t believe in non-offensive attacks (besides status effectors), assist always does something as well!
Comment ID #17529
oh oh-
my Team is
blastoise, arkanine, honchcrow, pikachu, hitmonchan and a kind of open spot which right now is dragonair&pupitar
I don’t even have my real starter anymore >> he was like traded as a …the 2nd evolution

>.< I loved gold/silver, but I just dunno… is it worth getting the remakes if I haven’t touched a game in the series since ruby/sapphire from fatigue? The gameplay was just getting a bit stale.
I admit I may not be the ideal audience for pokemon. I tend to get very attached to a few pokemon out of the first 10 or so I catch and then just power through the main storyline with them, beat the elite four and I’m done. I almost never even check my boxes… @_@
Comment ID #18588
God I do that too. I’m just like “I just want to kick some ass with my top six.” so I catch like 12 until I get the 6 I think I need, let the rest rot in my PC, and then slaughter any living soul that gets in my way.
My brother would always brag how he had more Pokemon, but then I’d challenge him to a duel and he’d see how my team was like on steroids from all the training I did on those six.
Comment ID #18744
My first ever video game was blue, since then I’ve had
Silver, Gold, Crystal (Yes, I got all three in the 2nd generation, gold and crystal were gifts)
Ruby, Emerald
Diamond, Platinum
Soulsilver
Honestly the 2nd generation was the best in my mind, which is the only reason I got soulsilver, I don’t wan’t fire red/leaf green. And that’s it for me, I will not get black/white, things are starting to get rediculously repetitive. Exept for blue and my first play through of silver I’ve always chosen the fire starter.

….where have I seen that moniker before MOOM?

black and white look really different for once i dunno

@Quacksalver:
To be honest, there’s a lot of places you could have seen it o.o I use this name for everything.
I’ve got a dA account, which seems like the most likely place you would have seen me. I’ve been on-and-off active on a number of comic forums for years. I have a pretty senior gamefaqs / gamespot board account. I was fairly well known for doing a map for Guild Wars…. Anything ring a bell?
Edit: Oh yeah I was #4 on the leaderboard for Osu for a while and made a beatmap-making tutorial before I wildly burned out.
@_@ I feel off topic now. Uhhhhhhh… HEY LOOK A COMPLETELY ABSURD POKEMON PARODY ON YOUTUBE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edym6_vnjUw
Comment ID #18774
Tee hee ^_^
They still have gemstones they can use, though. And precious metals. Admittedly, “Pokémon Lace Agate” lacks a certain flair, but I’d love to see something like “Pokémon Amber”.
Comment ID #18775
Pokemon Yellow-Cake Uranium. Pokemon Drinking Water Mercury. Pokemon Public Pool Chlorine. Pokemon Boron.
Comment ID #18784
Hey, why don’t we use atoms while we’re at it? Pokémon Plutonium?
Condiments? Pokémon Salt and Pokémon Pepper?
Fruits? Pokémon Avocado?
Grains? Pokémon Maize?
There’s so much to choose from ^_^
Comment ID #18787
There are still colour left anyways, purple, orange, pink, although honestly I can’t see many guys going for pokemon purple or pink
Comment ID #18790
Pokemon Red Tide. Pokemon Black Death. Pokemon White Supremacy.
Also, I’m of the opinion that it’s time Pokemon just give up the ghost.
Also also, I believe I’ve seen you one certain sections of the Keenspot forums.
Comment ID #18791
Didn’t they already have Pokemon Maize? (Also known as “corn”
)
They’ll do what Metal Gear did. Pokemon Solid. Pokemon Liquid. Pokemon Acid. Pokemon Crystal Meth. Pokemon Uncut Cocaine.
Comment ID #18797
Whuh? Pokémon Maize? Why haven’t I been told about this?
Oh, wait, you’re talking about one of the, uh, crack versions, aren’t you.

No, I think he just is on crack

Yes, Pokemon is fairly repetative. Yes, it’s absurd to have (pending white/black) over 500 Pokemon. But, it is in the top 5 franchises Nintendo has, if not the top 3, topped most likely by Zelda and Mario.
Comment ID #19084
Personally I predict the next one will be Pokemon Puce.
@Quacksalver: 99% chance says it’s the old El Goonish Shive forums or Mayhem. Poor old dying keenspot…
Comment ID #19086
Whatever it ends up being, it’s going to be a couple years out.
Comment ID #19088
Haha. I’ll be honest, the footage of Pokemon Black/White really underwhelmed me. Maybe they just showed it to early? I dunno. >_> the DS just makes 3d look so ugly.
Comment ID #19096
That’s why I predict black and white will be released on the 3DS :3
Comment ID #19228
I thought that was the plan. Wasn’t it?
Comment ID #19231
If they release Black and White on the 3DS, I’ll buy it. The last Pocket Monsters game I played was Red, so maybe it’s time for me to get back on that old saddle… Ironically, I think that’s the metaphor I used the last time I hit on an ex-girlfriend. Hm.
Comment ID #19248
Pokemon is shit and tired and repetitive like every other Nintendo game. It is still basically Pokemon from the Game Boy. They need to step it up, and not with shit 1995-era faux 3D that predates the goddamn first game anyway
Comment ID #19260
…SuitCase..do you just walk through all the threads and say they’re about s###?
I like that it’s sitll the oldstyle pokémon game though Dx
Comment ID #19397
I really don’t think that changing the games completely would be a good move. And they really are not the same as they were in the first generation; there have been both greater and lesser innovations with each new game. Granted, the premise is still the same, but it’s too much of a staple to make changes to the standard storyline.
And really, there is a large difference between Red/Blue and the current games. We have double battles, contests, Pokémon breeding, Berry growing, weather and landscapes, the Underworld, day/night cycles, minigames, your Pokémon following you around, the Pokéathlon, the Pokéwalker, and so on. Though the basic idea still is to catch and train your Pokémon, there are so many other ways to use the game. I do not agree with people who claim that the newer games are wannabe versions of the first.
But, of course, I will not deny that there are weak points to the franchise. And I can understand that people are jaded with the format, I really can. The sheer number of Pokémon might also be discouraging, although I myself enjoy having a challenge in catching them.
One thing I would like to see, though, is a touch of the settler age. The regions right now are inhabited and explored all over, and I’d love to see a slight change to that. Perhaps having large areas where there are only wild Pokémon, and they’re stronger than usual so that there is no need for Trainers? Small towns, with primitive Pokémon Centres and Pokémarts, could replace the major cities that are everywhere. In short, I’d like to see a region in its pioneer stage, preferrably shortly after it was discovered. I realise this would be incredibly difficult to implement well, but I can always hope it’ll happen. ^_^

Started with Blue, then: yellow, gold, crystal, ruby, diamond, platinum, and finally Soul silver, which despite a few little changes was basically crystal. Everyone just keeps remaking remakes of remakes. Let’s out insane laughter. Oh and occording to quizzes I’m Mewtwo, despite not seeing myself as superior. Very modest person. ![]()

I love pokemon, been a die-hard fan since i got silver version in kindergarden
my favorite pokemon has to be Ninetails, so elegant, so powerfull, an amazing pokemon
i play competitive a bit, won a Underused pokemon tourny at a Best Buy once
……realy, that is it
Comment ID #23434
I’ve got Soul-Silver, years ago I watched the anime, but unfortunetly it was not in the cards for me to be able to afford a gameboy. After a while my interest died down until a friend let me play Platinum. I love Umbreon, Mew, Vulpix, Latias, and Buizel.
I’m running a team of all Eevee evolutions just for fun atm.
I chose my starter for SS as Cyndaquil, but now I’m wishing I had Chikorita.
Comment ID #23559
I pretty much play Pokémon just to take part on the online matches and the tourneys that go around. It’s a fun game too, but main reason is the multiplayer backstage.
The anime gone stale |P Been the same thing since I was 15 (almost ten years ago!) The spinoffs are another story though
But the movies… Ergh, well, some pocket change traded by an Arceus is good enough for me.
Comment ID #23599
ALL OF THEM.
I HAVE PLAYED ALL OF THEM.
My favorites ones are
The first one
Red Edition Gameboy
Crystal Gameboy Color
Red Fire ( REMAKE OF FIRST RED POKEMON) GBA
Emerald GBA
Platinum DS
Only the HGSS and the upcoming ones are out of my reach….for the moment…..
Can’t pick which pokemon I could be…Many options thanks to my mixed personality …
Head back to the forum index.
