Hm. Now that I think about it, a Pokemon probably doesn't take that much memory. A few sprites, a moveset list, ability, stat lists...

Ah, thinking about that kinda thing reminds me of making programs on the good ol' TI-83 Plus back in the day...

In any case, I suppose it'll just be up to their creativity, then.

True, but it is a programming nightmare to have so many calculations and reused-but-initially-tough algorithms for factors such as STAB, abilities, personalities, level-stat gains, uses of enhancing items, critical hit rates, weather, environment, Hidden Power, Multitypes, trainer skills, special attack effects, toxic, held-item abilities, berry growth rate, item success rate, capture-rate, spawn-rate, egg-rate, shiny-pokemon encounter rate, mutliple colour palettes, image variations, gender, sexuality...

I can go on for a long time.

Are you sure about it? I did not receive the mystery gift. Are you sure you are not lying?

Besides it came out in japan, you have use mystery gift there. So YOU LIE YOU TALE TALES OF LIES.

And I got Darkrai from my japense friend in HONG KONG. But this darkrai knows ROAR OF TIME and SPACIAL REND.

Anyways im not gonna be posting as often because i got me a flight simulater.

Now, I hads some offers MetalDart, let's consider thoughs since you seem to be the only one with Silver/Gold starters.

And then with most of these new maths they further complicate the original algorithms. Such as stats. Originally Lvl 0 always ment 5 in every stat but natures ruined that.

Some of those you mentioned you never really need to care about:
Hidden Power
berry growth rate
gender

Mutliple colour palettes are only a mediocre hackers problem. I once saw this video where a guy pasted a charizard sprite into zigzaggons hex number and called it a glitch.

Most of which you mentioned are easy:
Any ratio (including anything that changes it.
Weather: Rain raises accuracy and power of water moves slightly, same with sun sandstorm ect. ect.
Any thing you mentioned with rate in it (fractions?)
Capture rate I HAVE THAT ALGORITHM DOWN LIKE A CLOWN CHARLIE BROWN

How can you read that.

Did you guys beat D/P yet? I can't get past the E4.

Am I the only one who finds the E4 easy?

Yeah. What's your party? If you have Empoleon, it's difficult, because you have to get past the ground types, the Infernape, every single thing that knows Earthquake, and that's a whole lot.

Having a Luxray helps. That mofo helps throughout the entire game. Especially if he has an Adamant nature. With high attack pokemon the Champion has, if you get to her, continually switch out and in Intimidating pokemon to reduce their attack stats to an unusable level.

If you haven't trained your pokemon sufficiently, then fly out and rechallenge trainers with your VS Seeker. If you can, train up a Gible. You can find them in the cave directly under the Cycling road.

Too easy. I beat it on my first try, with nothing higher than level 50 I think. O:

Im sorry DVS, but I was busy yesterday. I'll wait for your word for the next trade. I got my Cyndaquil ready.

At 7/14/07 01:03 PM, Kurofelis wrote: Yeah. What's your party?

It's...
Empoleon lvl. 51
Lopunny lvl. 51
Roserade lvl. 51
Dialga lvl. 51
Staraptor lvl. 51
Luxray lvl. 51

Yeah, I can't seem to get passed the Champion. I think my pokemon are too low leveled compared to her level 60's. How far should I train them?

I don't really think the level matters, but how balanced your team is. It seems as if the second Elite could hurt most of your team with ground moves. A lot of the Pokemon know Earthquake. Maybe a fire Pokemon would be nice, but I do not know how high level your team should be. My team was like that and a few were lower level too.

Heres what I did:

I had
68 torterra
53 palkia

Was trying to speed through the story

I kept switching them and using lower level pawns and revives.
I finished her last slug thing off with struggle attack.

The first of the Elite 4 I killed with my Staraptor. The second was no problem for my Roserade. For the 3rd one I used Empoleon but it usually dies (I carried lots of Full Restores, Revives, Ethers, etc.). The fourth one I used moslty Luxray and Dialga (that Alakazam is a pain in the ass). Now I eventually heal all my pokemon. The champion seems to be really difficult, I wipe out everything but Garchomp and Gastrodon.

I think I should replace my Lopunny with a fire pokemon, possible Infernape (I'll get it from trade) and replacing my Luxray with a Hippodown (also from trade).

Sounds more like you need a an Ice Pokemon for Garchomp. Grass moves on Gastrodon are 4x effective, so Giga Drain and Energy Ball pulverize it. Ice fang works very well on Garchomp, especially using a Gyarados.

I'm on Wi-fi right now with a Cyndaquil. :)

One word, one pokemon, that fits that exact bill- Abomasnow.

It's going to be hard to train it up, unless you trade for it. I'd give you mine, but I'm trading it for a Turtwig, unless somebody would like to change my mind...

Abomasnow is not going to work. It is a Ice/Grass Pokemon, meaning a fire-type move will definitely put an end to it. A Sneasle, Weavile, Smoochum, or Jinxy will do well.

Though, Jinx isn't obtaniable before the E4. He needs the NDex.

I'm saying that the Abomasnow WILL work against both the Gastrodon and the Garchomp. Cynthia didn't teach it any fire moves, after all.

I've been digging up an assload of Moonstones Water stones, everything. Spend enough time underground, and you have more crap than you know what to do with. Possibly the only things I haven't dug up are various plates and the Old Amber and Omanite fossil.

do any of you have shiny pokemon?

Shiny Floatzel, Jirachi, and Ninetails.
Why?

Just wondering what shinies you guys have. I'm looking for a shiny slowpoke or magikarp.

While I'm on corners selling crack I play pokemon

I saw a shiny Metagross on Global Trading. See, THAT's worth giving up a lvl 100 legendary for.

I've never had much patience to look for shinies. When I encounter one, by chance, I catch it.

I don't know why the D&P development team put the Beldum swarms in. Not only are they all lvl 50 and up, rendering them almost worthless for any stat development, but they're also a bitch to catch. I wasn't able to get one. It was down to a sliver, parylized, and it just refused to be caught.

I need a kangaskhan so to anyone who has one, I'll give you ANY SHINY (non uber) POKEMON of your choice!
