Pokémon
Now, a Grass/Ghost typing... That would be interesting. Particularly if the other starters were similarly typed: Fire/Dark, and Water/Psychic. Or perhaps Water/Fighting.

in my opinion......Spinda: a weak novelty pokemon only caught because it can have different patterns, no use on any serious team

Norman puts Spinda to good use in Emerald, giving it Dizzy Punch and Teeter Dance. It's actually very useful as an annoyer in double battles.
Honestly, I think the most useless pokemon of all time has to be Smeargle. So he can "paint" different attacks. Might be more useful if his stats weren't complete shit.

hmmm perhaps Chatot than as most useless, his main feature is the ability to use chatter to have him use an attack based on what you say, which is just to display the ds mic capability

Rock types are, on their own, not very good for dealing with Electric-types. That said, against Flying-types and, to a certain degree, Fire and Bug-types, they are much better. Single-typed ones like Boldore might still be a bit inadvisable, though, due to having five weaknesses and few resistances.
But hey, I would not mind having a mediocre Pokémon. Better to play with a Pokémon you like than to just take the strongest ones that everybody else also bring along. Why, at least you would not be predictable. ^_^

For electric avoidance go ground type, immune to it and has a very good amount of types it super effective against. To avoid grounds weakness i usually go with only a half ground type, A gastrodon would do the job nicely
though I always have a nidoking in the party since g one so go with whatever suits you best

The one I'm using has a nature that hinders speed, though. Not that it really matters as it'll likely be scrapped during the endgame.

I had them all at almost, if not, 50.
Let's see, my team was:
Samurott (53), Serperior (48), Emboar (50), Reshiram (53), Mienfoo (was actually 38
I had Mienfoo and Cobalion in my team for training.

To be quite honest, you could have said the same about the first generation. "We have the ancestor of all Pokémon, and it is still alive! We have also mutated it to make the most powerful Pokémon of all time!"
The thing is, the mythos can always be expanded. Just because one road has been walked does not mean that a new one cannot be paved out beside it, or in another direction. Just look at the Tao trio, based on the concept of Yin and Yang, and also Wuji - that had not before been used or emphasised to the degree it was with their introduction. It works well, even though the god of the Pokémon universe has been found; they also have representation of sea, land and sky (Kyogre, Groudon, Rayqaza) alongside the Kami trio of Landorus, Thundurus and Tornadus, who represent weather - similar, but, ahem, no cigar.
In fact, so far, the only generation who even tried to surpass what came in Generation I (in terms of legendary influence) was Generation IV.
Also, I am just about to enter the Pokémon league for the first time in Pokémon Black Version. I am very much pleased with it. ^_^

The show: Started off great (which is rare to say for a 4Kids production). Then kinda came the part with Dawn which made the series go down in quality then go back up as the closed into the newest region (Damn! Dawn is a really short lived character compared to the other girls (Misty, May, etc.)). I haven't seen it for a lil' bit of time (about a few months now) but I remembered it last as being good. (Better then Bayblade and Bakugan.) I would compare it to Digimon, but I don't know much about that plus people would probably be pissed at me for making a comparison.
The game series: I like the Dungeon kinda stuff but it's short lived since you beat the game pretty quickly and it doesn't have any real replay value. (I like the little feature they did with it.) Pokemon Stadium was pretty good. The actual series of games is pretty good, people still raving about Red and Gold and stuff. To actually get all the Pokemon you would need to have Action Replay or a friend with it unless you seriously played all the games and collected all the Pokemon and did a whole mess o' transferring. (If you did that all, I have to tell you that you have no life and it's sad for you.) Some spin-offs are minor and I won't talk about them.
Overall, it's pretty good.

Wrong.
There is at least one pokemon in every generation that is intended to be obtained via Nintendo promotion--Mew in the first generation, for example. Others require buying a game and hooking it up to your Game Boy/DS (Jirachi). You can get EVERY SINGLE POKEMON without using Action Replay as long as you know where you're supposed to look.
Edit: Before you call me out on the "unless you played all the games and transferred" part, that's wrong too. Mew always has been, and always will be, unobtainable without cheating except by Nintendo promotion. Not to mention that the Game Boy/Game Boy Color are incompletely compatible with the GBA and DS generations.

Umm, I was kinda referring to that/I said that already. You would have to get both versions of the game, or do some really good trading, to get all the Pokemon from each version then you would have to put it in your newer version and repeat the whole process. This process includes special stuff like distributions.
But I still stand by what I said. If you didn't use Action Replay to get all the Pokemon or have someone do it for you using Action Replay or some similar alternatice, you really have no

I don't know the full details, but you can use some tech to transfer the GBC to GBA via some wire or something and since you can use the now non-existent for the 3DS and the DSi GBA slot you can port them from GB, to GBC, to GBA, to DS, to DSi and future DSs without GBA ports.

The coding for the games is completely different, unlike the DS versions which are very similar to the GBA ones. Before GBA there were no natures, no abilities, and the stats used a completely different system for determining growth. You can't transfer Gen I or II because they are completely incompatible down to the base coding. That's why they've been introducing Remakes of the games--because otherwise most of the pokemon would not be obtainable in later games by any other way.
If you don't have a link or proof, you're quoting rumors, and there is a shitload of BS surrounding these games. That, or more likely, you're making it up yourself and hoping people will believe you. They won't.

Sadly, I don't have the full deets, so I cannot show you some links. But, if you search hard enough you can easily find a way to do this. (Me saying you, since you have an Internet connection, and you can look it up without me.) My brother did do this with his friends at school, and ended up getting all the Pokemon on the list for Diamond and Pearl (since his DS is broken and mine was stolen and we didn't buy another Pokemon game since we can't play it). I wish I could show you how, but you can Google it.
By the way, we are the only members here on Recess.

I'm surprised no one has talked about EV's or Pokerusyet. Do you EV train? And have you ever encountered Pokerus? (I have, twice, in Emerald).

My brother got all his Pokemon with that when he did Ruby and Fire. (I don't know if it exists in Pearl and Diamond and stuff, but my brother got a weird smiling face symbol for each of his Pokemon in Diamond (I had Pearl) and I recall someone saying it's some virus in Pokemon that he didn't know much about either.) But going to the first few things to find some answers to whether or not you can trade 'em isn't a great method of learning. Try to dig deeper, not with just one or two Google searches. Also, try to ask around to some experts and check out some of the wire equipment that was made for those systems (wire by what I mean is hooking up for stuff like trading from one system to another system). You might find some interesting things. There are a ton of interesting things for gaming. They have this little thing where you can plug in your N64 controller into something then plug that something up to the computer to play emulators with a N64 controller. (I just skipped out on that since I already have same gaming controllers for the computer.)

3. And there is no "smiley face virus," the only virus is the Pokerus and it exists in EVERY GAME post Emerald. However, it is extremely rare. It manifests as a a purple box on the stat screen that says "PKRS." You'll know you have it because the nurse at the pokemon center will tell you you have it. It's actually a good thing as it doubles the EV's you receive.

He did it, thanks to some friends with some hook-ups. (I wish I had more friends like that. I like good hook-ups.)
Reading up on it, the smiley face is supposed to represent that you don't have the virus anymore. The effects are still there, you just can't spread it to other Pokemon. (It's for the good of them, but spreading a virus sounds really bad. Like breeding chocobos, 'cept that with chocobos you use their kids with their siblings/parents/other family member.) So he apparently had it, but it went away. All his Pokemon had it (or at least all the ones I've seen) but it went away.
