Bittersweet Candy Bowl

I think I’ve played almost all the Pokemon games (Hey You Pikachu! FTW) but the only two I’ve got now are Yellow and Platinum.

I have always and always will be a Growlithe/Arcanine fan. Forever. Don’t know what Pokemon I would be though, but if I could pick I’d choose one of those two.

I’ve loved Pokémon ever since I saw the second episode on TV (and I had no idea what it was, or even that it existed, up until that point).

Granted, some of the Pokémon are terrible (Banette) or downright ugly (Magmortar, for instance). But I like the good ones. ^_^

I don’t have either of the Generation II remakes, but I have borrowed, with two exceptions, and played all the main line games from Red/Blue to Platinum (except Diamond, and of course Green). My favourites are the Mystery Dungeon games, though. The endings always make me cry…

I got Soul Silver WE CAN TRADE!!
I also picked Chicorita ^^
I already got a Cyndaquil but no Totodile, cause I know noone who took it :9

I am also a HUGE fan of the Pokéwalk, but to answere the games question before it,

I started with blue- my cousin got red- and it was SO awesome back then x3
I remember that we still replaying it, like we were sitting with 4 friends infront of the supernintendo gameboy add-on thing so we could play it on the TV screen hah~ good old times
I had gold back then, it was also super awesome, I must say it was my favourite game so far, while I like the Gen I Pokémon the most though.
I also didn’t get leafgreen and firered, cause they were remakes of blue and red, Saphire and Ruby- well I didn’t feel like spending so much money on a gameboy game back then so I skipped these too xD
I got pearl together with a friend who got Diamond for the DS, since it was a completely new Gen gameboy and so on, it was fun but I lost the interest after a while, because.. I mean really catching all 492 pokémon?? Come on!!
Now that I got Soul Silver for the DS I am totally happy with it- I’m not so far in the story yet, just moved to the Kanto region. I want to catch all Pokémon on this one c:
Then again- it’s still 495 isn’t it? ^^u oh man that’s going to be a lot of work ^^u

These pokemon games are for the DS, right?
If they are then I may have to pick one up…
But is it possible to catch Mew-Two?

Well, “dedicated,” i’m not sure that’s the right way to say it if the only games in the series i own are the main ones. I used to have the trading card and pinball Game Boy games and the N64 Stadium games, but i plan on finding the Gamecube games if i can find another memory card to support them, but that’s it.

Used to have Blue before i got FireRed. You should get it (or LeafGreen) if you can. The only one of the original Game Boy games i still have is Yellow.

Used to have Silver before i got SoulSilver. I’m not going to do anything with it though until i get second DS (a DSi, i hope) to transfer my event Jirachi to unlock an area in the Walker.

Got Ruby a while after it came out. SO MUCH WATER. SO. MUCH. WATER.

Diamond… pretty good.

I still have my Gold version,and since i dont own a DS i havent played Diamond/Pearl/Platinium or Heart Gold/Soul Silver.
But im still good in the card game.

I have played ALL pokemon games, and I still ask my self “why?” I didn’t buy SS or HG because I tested that game, and hearing that music will just make me sick -.-;


Ninetails is as useless as ratta lol

Pokemon games I had:
Blue
Yellow
Gold
Sapphire
Pearl
Heart Gold

I’m a Sudowoodo, but my favorite Pokemon is Ninetails.

I’m planning on getting Pokemon Black when it comes out in the US.

For those who haven’t heard about Pokemon White and Black yet, here

i have always loved the pokemon games, they where my first video game on the purple see-through game boy color, still have yellow version, but i cheated on red and blue enough to destroy the save function lol.

i would get HG and SS but the top and bottom of my DS decided to divorce each other if you get what i mean

@Kyle: My DS is currently out of commission, so I found a really good emulator for the game. Downside: no pokewalker.

@everyone: Ninetales, not Ninetails.

kthxbai

(Sorry ^_^)

Also, if I were a Pokémon, I would prefer it to be a Bayleef or something like that. I’ve taken several online quizzes, but they always yield different results so I don’t know which one to believe (or even when to believe them). I think I got Absol twice, though.

@Gabriel Kaxbe: i know that emulators exist for older systems but have they already got the new ones on an emulator? don’t they take alot longer to get?
also the pokewalker looks cool, i really want to play it

@Kyle: Well, the Japanese version was released quickly. For the American version, all they did was take the dialog coding from the American translation and replace the code into the Japanese emulator.

This process is easier for RPG’s.

Farfetch’d most awesome pokemon? Or greatest pokemon? You decide!

Yeah I played through Red back in the day, and the more recent remake too. Nice fun simple game with plenty of adorable looking critters. … Never really got into the later ones though. I kept up to date on pokemon themselves granted, regularly making avs of them despite the fact I wasn’t playing the games anymore.

I -did- play the mystery dungeon games though. Refreshingly different, particularly the second one with it having a surprisingly decent story for a pokemon game.

I did grab a copy of platinum a month ago or so. Fun game… but I don’t really find myself getting attached to any of my pokemon as I did in ages past. Save my Buizel, and Chatot anyway…they’re freaking awesome <3<3. Too bad Chatot doesn’t have a second form though… poor girl’s starting to lag behind. Friends keep telling me I should have tried the Remakes of Silver/Gold instead.. far superior games they say.

dont have hg/s yet, planning to get one at some point though

anyone ever tried competitive battling? I have been trying to put a real team together, but if anyone has a shoddy battle account then I would love to fight

also, are you guys planning on getting white or black?

i hate the ds games aaa theyre so slowwww/ the trainers look stupid/ the pokemon look stupid


seriously what the fuck is this shit

i have not picked up hg/ss because i still play my gameboy color/ i imagine it will be SLOOWWWWWWWW

@ whatanamazingd

If any of the games are slow, it’s Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.

I agree about the Pokemon designs by then, though. At that point, they were just drawing random shapes and saying “There, that’s a pokemon now.” Though that’s not to say things were much different previously, but still.

I’m stuck with Fire Red and Saphire. I don’t have a DS :’(

Though, I’d probably just catch a buneary and call it a day.

*THE LOST CAROL used BUMP!
It’s super effective!*

Played and beaten Red, Yellow, & Silver at time of release.
Skipped GBA generations for reasons unknown.
Bought & beaten Pearl.
Have Soul Silver, but FFXIII (…oh, and final project for college) are more important, though FFXIII is done now. I loved Silver the most, because it’s two, two, two games in one, so I eagerly awaited it.

@Taeshi: I would be either a Xatu or a Noctowl. They have great character designs, they’re flying/psychics, and I just think they’re so cool. They’re my special friends… wait, what?

Played Blue when Gameboy Color first came out…beat the game using the old man glich.
Bought Silver when it came out…cloned a team of lvl. 100 Lugia and beat that as well.
Was tricked into buying a used Yellow version…they’d blocked all of the gliches and found I didn’t have the time or patience to actually beat the game honestly (I was 11 cut me some slack)
Fast forward eight(ish) years…friends get me back into pokemon, buy me Platinum, and I finally beat a game without using a cheat, a glitch, or a legendary.
I’m now completely readdicted to the series: I replayed and beat Yellow, have and have beaten the latest mystery dungeon game, and am slowly working my way through SoulSilver.

@Taeshi: According to Mystery Dungeon I’m a Shinx…Buizel/Floatzel are my favorite however.

***BTW did everyone get SoulSilver? I know a few people including myself who got the remakes and I only know one person who got HeartGold.

I still dream of a day they’ll make a pokemon with the same ‘from above’ view, same status, leveling up, earning medals…

… but active battles, Super Smach Brothers Style =w=
THAT would be a dream come true for me. ^^

@Shen Hibiki: It would be good, but I’m not sure it’d work as well for most people. Kids buy pokemon games because they’re easy to get into and understand the battle system and item system. For example, if you give a 7 year old Final Fantasy VII and told him nothing, it might take him a long while to work it out, whilst Pokemon’s system is so easy to understand, a monkey could play it. I’m getting ahead of myself here, point is, it would be an excellent game for dedicated RPG and fighting game fans but for casual gamers, they would prefer the usual style they know and love. I’d love it, but I understand if it wouldn’t exist because of Nintendo wanting to keep Pokemon simple for more kids buying it because more kids buying = $.

DAMN THAT WAS LONG!

Aaaaanyway, I would call myself a dedicated fan. I have all of the main games, some Mystery Dungeon games, the GameCube games excluding Channel and Box and I used to have the Pinball games. (But I have no clue what happened to them.

IF I had to pick a favourite, Arcanine or Espeon would be my choice. The pokemon I am most like however, probably Cyndaquil. I’m usually very fun loving, but I can have a fiery temper.

that first image is a bidoof you can just imagine it though im sure we are all tired of seeing bidoofs

I started when Red/Blue came out. Got Red on easter that year, and was happy as a pig in poop. I played Yellow, and am ashamed to admit that the whole Pikachu gimmick won me over, because damn it, I do love cute things… Silver, and fell even deeper into love (Still missed my Pikachu though). Then came a brief flirting with Emerald, though I never finished it. I completely skipped FR & LG, and was disheartened when I decided that Pearl sucked…

But now… Finally… Heart Gold has be squarely by the balls and isn’t letting go! It’s all my favorite things about Pokémon, with the innovations like single hand play and auto-run that I so sorely craved. It’s the game I missed, and I’m so glad to have it back. It feels like coming home…

Let me just end this by saying… I still hold Down+B every time I throw a Pokéball

footage of black and white
oh my

Im totally betting that by the time it gets to America it will be Pokemon Dark and Light or something. Just dont see white and black going into the American market.

Also, anyone have any idea why the words “white” and “black” are spelled out with katakana on the Japanese version? as opposed to using the actual Japanese words

@Drakedrake: Curse you. You’ve initiated my crazy need to research things randomly.

@Drakedrake: Found some stuff. It is possible that they did this in order to make translation easier. Since the symbols say “Buraku” and “Howaito”. However, it may have also been done to make the title more universal. English words are recognized throughout the world.

Universalizing, eh? Maybe we’ll get to go to previous regions after all in the next game?

Hey, what’s this now?

yeah, I can read the katakana…

I guess your guesses are pretty darn close to mine, certainly as good as mine. Of course, while English words are recognized all over the world, the katakana are not. Romaji would have been more appropriate if that was the desired effect.

Oh, completely forgot. My favorite pokemon is Mew-Two, that’s why I was asking if it was possible to catch Mew-Two (Probably not, but a glitch or a cheat to would be friggin’ awesome!).
I have no clue what type of pokemon I am, but I didn’t particularly care that much for the series.
I have never played a pokemon game (unless playing as pikachu once on super smash bros. melee counts ), although I would like to since I have a DS and… well… Let’s face it, games that aren’t designed specifically for the DS suck, are beaten quickly, and have no replay value. (I picked up the New Super Mario Bros. and it took me days to finish, then I picked up the Force Unleashed and beat it in under 2 hours!)

So, yeah, what would be a good current pokemon game for someone basically new to it?

You can catch a Mewtwo in FireRed/LeafGreen, and if I’m not mistaken, you can also capture one in the 2nd generation games.

Hey guys, does someone know where I can get the blue scarf in SoulSilver?

I heard the blue scarf is’t available for SS and HG, so does anyone know how to evolve to Milotic in SS and HG???

Obtain maximum beauty for a Feebas by either getting it massaged at 3:00PM by blue sister or go to the hairstylist in the underground of goldenroad.
When its beauty hits max level it up and there you go. Normally have to do iy about 8 times.

An uncle gave me a Game Boy and a copy of Silver when I was 10… that’s how it all started.

I really have no favourite Pokemon, there are so many… each with it’s different capabilities… but I think I can reduce it to Mightyena, Vulpix, Noctwol, Dragonair, Leafeon, Bulbasaur, Feraligatr, Kangaskhan and… Azumarril.

My biggest deception was that the games after Silver were just adding moar critters, sparkles and getting slower. The story of DPPt was just too boring… I mean, come on! They gave ‘em their starters for nothing! Though the story of RSE was interesting, the game was badly designed.

The Mystery Dungeon series only caught me with Explorers of Darkness & Time… best Pokemon Story ever… Explorers of Sky gave many spoilers in the intro… and Skymin made me lol.

The new games look like more shit is coming. Zurua ‘n Zoroark look like the bastard son of Shadow the Hedgehog and Lucario, and I hate both. The 3D view is not really going to guarantee a better gaming experience, in fact, it looks like crap. There’s a rumor saying there’s going to be around 600 species… wut.

What the games need is not moar Pokemon or a better look, but changes in the gameplay like…
-Having to catch your starter (a selection of at least 9).
-5 moves move set.
-Aiming the foe before hitting to determinate Critical Hits and evasion.
-Limit breaks (maybe).
-Minigames.
-A more serious story.

Speaking of looks… Generation III had too simple designs and silly (Wingull ‘nuff said)… and Generation IV had them too complicated (the Legendaries and others like Rhyperior), nonsense (Combee, Giratina ‘n stuff) and humanoid (Lucario, Lopunny, Froslass, Buizel,Frosslass, etc.).

Long text is Looong. But I had to take it out.

@Jacob: where is the massage lady in SoulSilveR? and when do I find the hair stylist in the underground??? -thanks for the help btw

@Vincent: SS and HG do have some more minigames, as for the serious story, you are a 10 year old kid with pokemon and you go save the pkmnworld from evil organisations- isn’t that enough for you? xD

HeartGold, ‘cause everyone else I know got SoulSilver. ^^ I’ve been fairly dedicated to the series since it’s start, and I have one game from each generation. Mystery Dungeon is AWESOME, by the way!! I started Blue Rescue as a Cubone, and Explorers of Darkness as an Eevee. XD

What I spend most of my time on, though, is breeding. I really couldn’t care less about the badges, and though the storyline is interesting, there’s only so much they can do before it gets repetitive. So now, I breed competition level teams in my spare time. Working on an all -Eon Baton Passing team now. They’ll never be -quite- up to par with a legit tournament team, but they be fun to challenge friends with. ^^

I think the mini-games in HGSS are fun, to be honest. My favorite is Voltorb Flip, ‘cause I’m in the process of cracking the pattern for orbs. I looked online for a while, but no one seemed to have a strategy yet for beating it, just “guess randomly”, so I decided to share my method.

Strangest moment, though… Walking into the Game Corner, and there’s only [b]ONE TABLE[/b]. Where does everyone else play? Or [b]does[/b] anyone else play? If not, kudos, Nintendo has finally cured it’s peoples’ gambling addiction. ^^

Awww…. Used square brackets instead of pointed brackets…I feel silly. XD

my friend gave me her heartgold because she has 2 copies
i played it for about 45 minutes and then i tried to save and it said i needed to have deleted the original file before playing so i lost everything i had done in that 45 minutes

i shall not be picking it up again for some time now

GUYS! I’m havig issues here-
I have my Victor (Piakchu) and I don’t want to evolve it!! but if I evolve it to raichu it gains like around 40 attack and it’s status will rise even more from that! Pikachu will prolly never reach it and… I donnu what to do Dx

yeah I figured where they are-
I’m visiting them since sunday xD I figured it pretty late I know XD

I’m really torn apart here-
I think I will keep it at Pikachu- just rais eit’s status with protein and such- I know there’s like 50 points difference at max- but still >x

I have the same issue with my skitty. I mean, I could evolve it into a delcatty to make it more powerful, but…. it’s a skitty! Do you know how long it took me to get a skitty?! A skitty that for some reason 3/4 of the time uses frenzy plant?! (Assist off my meganium CASUE GRASS IS THE AWESOME)
