Posted January 22, 2011 Status moves can turn the tide of battle. Can increase evasion, add to your defence or make you a massive killing machine. They can also afflict status conditions like Burn which hinder your foes considerably http://www.serebii.net/games/stats.shtml http://www.serebii.net/games/status.shtml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jus' sayin' when I was younger Tail Whip wasnt the first move of choice, and not fantastic to look at..... Status defects paid a part in my competitive team.

Posted January 23, 2011 Pokémon manga aimed at adults to be released. Interesting... By "aimed at adults" I don't think it means you see Misty's cloyster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 "Adults"? Where did you get that from? Is Kekkaishi aimed at adults now? The World God Only Knows, too? And Detective Conan? Let's just stick to the "older target audience", although that's not necessarily true, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 Let's talk teams then guys My Jp. Black in-game team; My Jp. White in-game team; Not sure what to use for my EU playthrough, but starting with Tepig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 23, 2011 I have some game vouchers to spend, told my girlfriend I was going to buy new pokemon. She gave me such a look of disgust She won't stop me though! Shame I won't be getting Zoroark since I don't have the legendary dogs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 23, 2011 Oh man, totally starting with Tepig. I have demanded boyfriend choses Snivy (almost wrote smugleaf). cant wait for the legendary dogs! Just to look at though....i never use legendarys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 Really not sure what my team will be for this playthrough...want to use something completely different each time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 Good thing the dogs are WiFi from Feb 7th for all Gen IV games I do not have those games, nor wifi! That's the point unfortunately sorry :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 It's good people use a variety of teams. I remember once completing Reb/Blue with a team of Venusaur, Farfetch'd, Fearow, Onix, Beedrill and Raichu. Damn, that shit was hard. Really hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Am thinking of using Cofagrigus...it's a very slow Pokémon but it's beastly I'm even trying to avoid using the same types. Before HGSS, I always had the same types (heck, I did in HGSS too really except I used Murkrow into Honchkrow); Fire, Electric, Water, sometimes Grass, sometimes Ground, Flying & Psychic I went down that road with Jp Black, but with White, I went down it with a twist. I use Bug-types now. Bug-types are cool. This time, I really want to get out there. I never use Ghosts so Cofagrigus is a prime choice. Was thinking of using Waruvial but I have used Dark a lot recently. That said, so many of the Pokémon I've thought about using have terrible speed due to the metagame shift Edited January 23, 2011 by Serebii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 Really not sure what my team will be for this playthrough...want to use something completely different each time in my opinion its hard to not carry on with the first few pokemon i obtain. For example the first bird, be it pidgy to starly, ends up being my flying type >_< my starter never leaves the team either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 in my opinion its hard to not carry on with the first few pokemon i obtain. For example the first bird, be it pidgy to starly, ends up being my flying type >_< my starter never leaves the team either Well, for me, as I've played through twice, I may send some eggs over. I did that for Japanese White as I really wanted to use Ulgamoth, so I sent over my Meraruba Egg from Black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 I use Bug-types now. Bug-types are cool. that statement is so full of win. <3 Yeah I understand what you are saying, I normally have the same types in my team, usually for convienience, think il venture out abit more this time and use a better vareity of types, never really had a bug 'mon in my team...

Posted January 23, 2011 Thankfully, GameFREAK agree and there are loads of decent Bugs, Ghosts, Fighting and so forth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 About the legendary dogs-event; do you get all three of them, or do you have to choose one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's just stick to the "older target audience", although that's not necessarily true, either. The very Western (gaming) definition of "adult". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 Really hope there are some decent Water Pokemon this time round. They've been severely under-represented in all the previous generations IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) About the legendary dogs-event; do you get all three of them, or do you have to choose one? Raikou: February 7th 2011 to February 13th 2011 Entei: February 14th 2011 to February 20th 2011 Suicune: February 21st 2011 to February 27th 2011 Really hope there are some decent Water Pokemon this time round. They've been severely under-represented in all the previous generations IMHO. Very good. There aren't actually that many though Serebii's super list of Gen V waters; (Alt Forms) Plus the event legend; That's 17 out of 156, that's 11%. Compared to the 25%+ of most other region dexes, it's amazing. Edited January 23, 2011 by Serebii Automerged Doublepost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 I use Bug-types now. Bug-types are cool. Heracross and Scizor showed early on that Bug types are not just cool but awesome. Both of those if done right are brilliant additions to any team. Haven't decided when/if I'll be picking this up. I seem to get the desire to play Pokemon when a new game comes out but after a month or so, I just couldn't care less and barely touch the games after that point. Nothing seems to get me back into them so I'm undecided whether I should bother spending the £35 to pick up a copy of this or not, although I suppose having to use an entirely new set of Pokemon before I can use any of the previous generations does seem a little interesting. Will say though, that Water event legend you posted Serebii looks so meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Ah, but the backstory about it isn't meh Kerudio is an orphan having lost its family due to a massive fire and was raised by Cobalon, Terrakion & Virizion. This story parallels and alludes to the story of D'Artagnan and the three musketeers. They're all part fighting type; Cobalon being Steel/Fighting, Terrakion being Rock/Fighting and Virizion being Grass/Fighting while Kerudio is Water/Fighting; The backstory of these Pokémon gets even more interesting as they fought humans to protect other Pokémon Edited January 23, 2011 by Serebii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I think the answer is yes, in one game you can get all three dogs and not just one of them. Cool, just got my DS online again. I have moved and got a new wireless router with WPA-security, which the DS does not support. Just had to dig my old LAN-cable forth and set my computer up as a router and now it works so I may receive the dogs. Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
