Mr_Master_X2 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Just at the 8th Gym My one major gripe with this game is, I have to force myself to use other Pokemon, because from the second gym onwards everything is easily beatable by Timburr and it's two evolutions due to seemingly 90% of every Pokemon after that point being super-weak to fight/rock.

Coolness Bears Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yes! I've been training Vishbrows. (Darumakka) She was weak at first but now her Fire Punch tears all competition a tertiary anus. Also caught Miracles (Maractus) who is sexual and I'm in love. Absorbing water moves, tasty AND just a general beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I am sad. The one time I want to name my pokemon and I can't name Smug Leaf, Smug Leaf. For some odd reason the game nick named Smug Leaf, Snivy. This makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Sandile (and his evolved) are king. I love him now. I was training him (and Gurdurr, who I need to retire. :/ I like having a fighting Poke, but I'd rather use Scraggy or something, who I find hilarious everytime I see him.) to take on Elesa better, and then accidentally (don't ask) used two rare candies on him. Come on the highest levelled on my team. And his evolution is way cooler now it's obvious how BIG he is. Too big for the screen to handle. I'm terrified to see his final evo in-game. I'm glad I chose Snivy/Servine. I like him. However he's currently got an all-grass moveset, and that's without using my Grass Knot TM. Gross Knot on my Roserade in Diamond was my life. So I think I'll get rid of Leech Seed, but he needs something non-grass too...hmm. Currently the lowest level (by 1) of my squad (except Tranquill, but she's in-waiting, and will return to my squad...I hope). Quite good/has served me well. I'm so bored though. AND his evo is a trade one...so not going to bother with him soon. There's other fighting pokes I prefer. Will have to train them up, but ya. No intention of getting rid of Whirlipede! I have a thing...I guess I like a lot of bug and bird Pokemon. He's done well so far, and has nearly evolved into his badass centipede king form. Not long ago on a short-list to be "boxed" but proved his worth in the 4th gym, and now I realised I love the idea. Have a feeling he'll only get stronger. While not my first-choice for a water poke, I've grown to like him. Very good defence, good moveset, like his type combos and stuff. A keeper I think. Queen of life. Or will be. Trust me.

Tales Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Beat the E4 myself today. Great ending. Never used the crocodile, but when I saw his final evo I wish I did. Now on to the post-game, just have to do that paper first *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone EVER delete over Leech Seed. You people are FUCKING crazy. :/ I did the 6th gym this morning, it was awesome! I love the gyms. They are so so so good and original and they actually feel EPIC for the first time. I can't wait for Pokemon Orange and Purple on the 3DS. Current team, as I've had a couple of evolutions so some have been cut and others are better. :P Now he has evolved he has got VERY solid all-round stats, he has great speed and attack too. Water god. Brine is so fucking good. Trubbish is a little weak at the moment. I'm hoping his stats increase a lot when he evolves...he has some good support moves though. My jungle king, he loves having Acrobatics and awesome stats. He is strong/okay, but he will eventually leave my team I think. Maybe. This guy is a real beast.

Ganepark32 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Why would anyone EVER delete over Leech Seed. You people are FUCKING crazy. :/ Well, I did it because Grass Knot is probably a more suitable move the further you get in the game. Considering my Lilligant already had Mega Drain and Synthesis, which carry out their function of healing and attacking better, Leech Seed wasn't really necessary. Similarly, because Grass Knot's power increases due to the weight of the opponent Pokemon, it makes much more sense to have it instead of Leech Seed for later in the game as that's when you'll be encountering all of the final evolved forms of Pokemon (meaning they'll be heavier and score more damage). -------------------------- Anyway, picked up a Solosis last night and was considering using it for my team before catching it as it seemed to be the only reputable Psychic pokemon this generation. After looking at it's moveset and when other moves become available, it seems like it'll be more of a chore to level it up to a state where it's useable rather than opt for something else entirely. So that was a disappointment finding that out. Still need a 6th Pokemon to complete my team at the moment but I've got plenty of time as I'm still levelling up for the 4th gym. I say levelling, but I mean over levelling as my Pokemon are all around lvl 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm disgusted. (Yeah Grass Knot is amazing). But Mega/Giga Drain? Ugh. They pale in comparison to Leech Seed. A) Leech Seed continues after your grass mon is dead. B) You use Leech Seed. Opponent repeatedly uses Double Team - become near impossible to hit, yet their still getting douched. C) It makes a significant difference against really strong opponents later in the game, as the difference in health is double what the damage is (effectively) which is awesome. D) It is awesome. E) Leech Seed FTW F) Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better with paralysis, toxic etc The more conditions and stuff flying around, the better Speaking of which, Thunder wave / paralysis = undisputed greatness: 100 % accuracy + a fast electric type → you para them before they can do anything Speed slows down by 75 %, and their moves now have a 25 % fail rate...Throw in confusion or attract for extra fun times ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Anothe little annoyance I just noticed. All the pokemon you transfer over from gen iv have their names in upper case, whilst the gen v ones are in lower case. Again not a major issue but it's something that could have been implemented so easily - just changing them to lower case to match (I like things to be in order and matching ) I'm seriously tempted to re-breed them all just so they match (thats how much things like this annoy me)!

Ike Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Got an oshawott off the GTS yesterday, but's it nicknamed which is annoying. I'l breed it later. Will put something up for a Snivy later today. Got my 7th badge last night after another easy gym battle. I think I'm near the point were I have to catch the Reshiram. TMs are expensive in these games, although I suppose it makes sense since they're reusable. My current team: All around level 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I always feel like Leech Seed is used better against me than using it myself. And as I said, Grass Knot is e'rrthing. I didn't let Fossil Turtle-mon learn Brine. I was unsure. I wanted the speed of Aqua Jet. Brine is good though. My Wailord on Platinum was king of all Brine. My Scolipede is my favourite thing. Anyone physically attacks him and they're poisoned, then I use Venoshock, which is more powerful if the target is already poisoned. = deth.

I think I'm taking mine to the name-changer before I transfer them over, I already started that process a while ago when I realised how much UPPER-CASE POKÉMON NAMES annoyed me.

Were they in lower case before you transferred them? Thankfully when they evolve they go back to lowercase, so I'm evolving a load of mine now, although this wont be possible for the legendaries, nintendo are douches...

Eddage Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 So if you use the pokemon in battle it's name is lowercase, even though it was uppercase when you transferred him? I know that if you go to the summary page it will say (for example) "Name: Rattata", but if you look in the top right of bottom screen it'll say "RATTATA", along with the gender and level. Google searching reveals that pretty much everyone says they'll be uppercase so I don't understand how yours aren't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
