Personally, I don't feel the game even starts until you get to the Battle Frontier now. Battle Tower is the real challenge, not the gyms or anything. Still haven't gotten my 100 win streak on Platinum. Best is 42, if I remember right.

i don't like the battle tower and the entire frontier that much, i find it much more fun makeing my main team, and when that get boring i make an alt team that could hold its own against my main team

To be honest I'd rather have an imerse campain type thing, were it just ends and you can then replay a harder version of the game. (Like Ratchet and clank series) By this I mean not just fight 8 gyms, beat team rocket twice and done. I mean somthing like the anime, or this (sorry if its a bit random(and NSFW) but without those bits it does stick quite close to a single player mode, give it a read if you have time.)

Who eles likes this idea?

Ahem, anyway, a few more Pokes revealed, and at least the Triple Battles look more & more promising.

Also, judging from that one screenshot, that girl from the silhouette slated to be in the new anime is both in-game, and..................drum roll, please................black. Finally, cultural diversity is present in the franchise to some degree............and no, I don't exactly count Brock as 'black'.

Sorry couldn't help myself

I've been running Smeargle, Tyranitar and Gyarados. It works really, really well in the early matches, because as long as Smeargle can outspeed either their first or second Pokemon, Gyarados or Tyranitar can sweep everything after you baton pass Belly Drum and the speed boost from that one berry to it. Once you hit about 40, though, it falls apart, as there's very little he can outspeed.

Should probably just be cheap and go Garchomp, Scizor and Latios or something.

Gardevoir is sexy.

I wouldn't call it that. I'd just like to know what these "musicals" entail. Will I have to use the mic to sing? I think I can hack it.

I know I should leave a review (More of long comments) but its easier to do it here, and the other members might read it if they dont already. I really loved the first Arc. I cant find anything wrong with it, from motives and plans, to the destruction and tactics. It was all perfect.

Arc 2 was good aswell, not quite as good as 1, and a lot darker. Up untill about halfway though Cataclysm, the fihts were brilliant. Then when Kiakio started talking directly to Gardevoir, I loast my intrest. It picked up again when ... came back to life. But for that section, and those last two chapters I just lost my intrest. Too much plot for my liking. I still read it, but all that plot just was too distracting.Those new charecters were somthing to be spread out bettween a few chapters, among Slash and Psymakio storyline.

By plot, I sortof mean all the new charecters, the slash prts were good. I suppose I just couldnt get into the new charecters. I still loved it.

I seem to have fucked up my info on my last post: The black girl in the games & the new anime girl AREN'T the same person. The latter is still dark-complected, but clearly different. I would've caught onto this immediately if I hadn't forgotten the latter's name at the time & matched it up with the former.

Nah; they did the REVERSE for the US version of PBR, where they let you change your Trainer's skin tone. This is the next logical step in making the franchise 'politically correct' - something a franchise this large should've been a long time ago.

Oh cmon man some legendaries aren't even good, like Articuno and Regigigas. You could just say, "I won't use Ubers" so that means no Garchomp or Wobbuffet either. I could understand if you wouldn't use Heatran or Raikou though.

Just got my dragonite on SS last night. Pupitar level 50, and I've just realised that I dont like my team, so with 2 kanto badges left Im redoing it, with Dragonite, Tryanitar, Typhlosion, Ampharoes(?), Kingler, Umbreon(?).

Althouth I might change Umbreon and Ampharoes for differnt ones, any ideas?

If you just want a tough team, try Jolteon or Magnezone rather than Ampharos. Umbreon is tough anyway, but I prefer Weavile.

If you want awesome stuff that might not be as strong, I really like Crawdaunt as a dark type. I don't really like many electric types, though. Would probably end up going Magnezone if pushed.

I was thinking of Weavile, as none of my pokemon know an ice move, and I was gonna go get a crawdaunt for one of my other teams anyway. Maybe Jolteon, or I might go with someone else.

Also, how do you guys organize your PC? By type, or region, or smoe other method.

Euugh, mine's completely disorganized, and nearly full. Will probably never sort it out now, and just make sure I don't let mine in Black and White get into that state.

I used to organize it by type in Emerald, but once I started using the cloning glitch I had to abandon that. Now my system is cluttered, except for the boxes entitled, "PARTIES [insert number here]" and such.

Also look at my sig.

Umm, congrats? Anyway i've tried by region, but that got full quite quick (Diamond) and Im now trying to organise by type, although with them all I have no boxes left so they better all fit.

Also, does anyone now of a really quick way to transfer ALL of pokmeon Diamonds pokemon onto SS ? I wanna start agin but my pokedex is almost done, I can do it normally (By trading six at a time) but that will take ages, plus Ill have to catch LOADS or weedle or somthing, to trade with.

I'm really into the idea that you don't run into older pokemon until you beat the game

It will really help the immersion and you'll be able to look forward to each new area knowing for sure you're going to see something new

Been playing SS steadily for a while now. Beat Clair finally, thanks in large part to Espeon (I didn't have any Ice moves on my current roster). Must've accidentally sold my Amulet Coin, as it mysteriously disappeared. BLARGH, I likes money whoring! Well, I think I have one on Pt, so when I get my wifi situation squared away, I'll just have one of my salvaged Pokes hold it on the way to SS.

Official art for the black girl was revealed..........oh lord..........

GF has successfully managed to stereotype her............TWICE. She's in a stereotypical '70s black woman getup (afro & bell-bottoms), with a stereotypical '50s black woman apron around her waist....

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU POTENTIALLY RUIN A GOOD THING LIKE THIS!? Not that I mind the look personally, but there's bound to be a legion of idiotic whiners bitching about this. :(

Anyway, as far as Victini's typing: Well, it's unique, but it has FIVE rather large weaknesses. Luckily, none of them are 4x, and it makes it the only Psychic-type I can think of that can give Scizor the finger (Bronzong & Metagross still take a CB Superpower to their respective kissers). And who knows what its Victory Star ability will give it - maybe the 5 weaknesses will be a moot point.

Weavile gets no love anymore. Yeah, out of bias, go with it. :P

Also, how do you guys organize your PC? By type, or region, or smoe other method.

Right now, as I don't have very many, I just have my current ones in the first box, except for the Shinies, which I keep in Box 18.

YES! I WANT TO BATTLE!

No hacked Pokemon plz, or I'll bring out some. My FC is 0088 4769 3601.

The black lady is a Gym Leader. Given her name & getup, I'll guess she's a Grass user..........wait, that came out wrong.......

Victini's Victory Star ability raises Accuracy for both it & any partners, so it's basically Compoundeyes with an upgrade. Since it'll most likely have Fire Blast, this could be insane, depending on just how much extra Accuracy it gives.

Growth boosts both attacking stats now, meaning any Grass type that can get it just got a huge benefit. Venusaur, Victreebel & Tangrowth come to mind, but especially the former.

I'm always wary of doing that incase I ever want to change EVs. I have a level 93 Gyarados, and that's too high for my liking. Mind, realistically, Gyarados is always going to be 252 Attack, 252 Speed, so it doesn't really matter.
