[quote name='N8theGr8' post='4382' date='Sep 14 2010, 03:35 AM']This means that since Johto, NO NEW TYPES HAVE BEEN ADDED AND EVERY TYPE HAS BEEN A LEADER IN THE 3RD AND 4TH GENERATIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN A LEADER'S TYPE. This pretty much says to me that Game Freak isn't the most creative bunch. Maybe there will be a Dark Elite Four member, though.[/quote] Ummm...you DO realize that it is impossible for them to have introduced a new Gym Leader type (save Dark) because between Kanto and Johto, 16 of the 17 types are accounted for. You can't call that not being creative. And at least with Johto when they introduced the other types but couldn't fit in Dark, they made it an Elite Four type instead. So between Kanto and Johto, EVERY type has been a Gym/E4, meaning that every game after will, of course, be re-using types. I'm going to be....Pidgey? (I think that's right) We have only ever seen the Dark type as an Elite Four team, which is of itself impressive. You might even take it to mean that those who can master the Dark type are generally stronger trainers. Gyarados is supposed to be one of the most difficult Pokemon to train (according to the movie) and behold! Blue, Lance, and Wallace, all League Champion, happen to use it. Now despite it having only been seen in the E4, I think there is a good chance it will become a Gym type. We didn't see it in the 4th generation, and I'm sure that they are trying to avoid a carbon copy of past leagues. Odds are still strong on the first gym being Rock (again) as it is tradition. The only reason Johto didn't do it was because Kanto was in those games, too, and thus already had Rock. Plus, with the knowledge that Black & White will use only new Pokemon, it is bound to reconfigure the ranking of types. With no Geodudes, it might be impossible to make Rock the first Gym. And there might be more Dark types or a larger focus at least to warrant giving it a Gym. Edit: I predict the Dark Gym with be either 3rd or 4th

Damn, I thought it was Tentacruel, too. The only other vicious enough Water type I can think of to be called a kraken is... Gyarados

Pikachu aimed for %'s horn! Instant KO! Magikarp bitch slapped % into submission! Snorlax thought % looked like Poffin and used Swallow! Digested!

>_> I was in a rush for class but wanted to post something before I left. Otherwise, I would just now be posting. And yeah, you're right.

Random-ocity! [i][b] This Pokémon becomes total darkness when removing a character from its Japanese name[/b][/i]

First off, school has just started for most people. For the past 3 weeks I have moved back into my dorm, been settling back into the swing of college, figuring out my classes and doing reading/work for them, and having a temp job at the university bookstore. Needless to say, I have been busy with school, work and life. I'll [probably] come back when things settle into place. That can be said for most people who might be absent. I am for one amazed that Amethyst is still doing the weekly schedule considering he's just started college, even if college is easier than high school and high school easier than middle school. Second, I don't think many people have been gone for that long. Just look at me, it's probably only been 3 weeks that I've been truly absent. Don't go freaking out about people vanishing for a month. It's the internet, that's how things work. Sorry if you've gotten so attached to some of the people here, but their lives take priority in most cases. Life goes on.

I thought this might be interesting but easy to figure out, but then I realized you said HG ARTWORK and GS SPRITE. Now it's going to be interesting but hard....just the way I like it. [b]Furret[/b]

As of right now Tsutarja feels like it's going to be a pure Grass type. But I am still in the air about getting it, simply because of its face. I don't know what it is but I love how the first stage looks buts its evolutions just seem...off with the structure of their faces. Maybe it's just the quality of the scan or maybe it really is just bothering me, but I'll hold my judgment. Stopped staying on top of updates about 4 weeks ago because...I want to wait until the English release. Mijumaro looks the best to me right now. Must say, they really turned it around by its final evolution.

Let's hope they make it work. And that could happen in evolution. Dolphins used to be on land then evolved and adapted by returning to the water. SCIENCE!

[quote name='NoGoodBoyo' post='4159' date='Sep 10 2010, 01:33 PM']At least 13 legendaries? Argh. Too Many.[/quote] What the fuck? * #633 through #635 are a Dark/Dragon-type evolution chain * #638 is a Steel/Fighting-type Legendary * #639 is a Rock/Fighting-type Legendary * #640 is a Grass/Fighting-type Legendary * #641 is a Pure Flying-type Legendary * #642 is an Electric/Flying-type Legendary * Reshiram is to be #643 * Zekrom is to be #644 * #645 is a Ground/Flying-type Legendary * #646 is a Dragon/Ice-type Legendary * #647 is a Water/Fighting-type Event Legendary * #648 is a Normal/Psychic-type Event Legendary * #649 is a Bug/Steel-type Event Legendary "There are 156 new Pokémon within this generation" But with 13 of those legendaries it's around 143. I thought it was bad enough with the....15 from DPPt. Good lord they actually reduced the number of legendaries but its still too many! Only had 5 in the first generation.... I feel like they tried to make new kinds of legendaries like a Bug one and creating more Fighting ones. But.....they didn't make new typings, just made them Legendaries. Bug/Steel was done a long time ago with Scizor and Forretress. Normal/Psychic was Girafarig, Water/Fighting was Poliwrath, Electric/Flying was Zapados. And then I feel like there are too many Fighting legendaries. I mean there are 4. FOUR of the same type of legendary. At this rate, Legendary is going to lose all meaning. "What is a Legendary Pokemon, children?" "A Pokemon that is extremely unique and more powerful than the average Pokemon and is also..." "WRONG! A Legendary simply means there is only one available to catch!" "But..." "NO! They do NOT have to be unique, they do NOT have to have a unique mythos, they do NOT have to have stronger stats, they do NOT have to be anything BUT rare"

I think it should work out better if every Gym Leader is not available every day. On the technical side, it forces people to battle different leaders every day as opposed to them just hammering at the same one every time. Only time this isn't true is if you only have a single leader you can challenge, but only a few of us ever encounter that. Then on the creative side it means we can focus on the certain leaders to talk to them and let the stories unfold. If they were all here it would just be a mess.

Boyo is correct. Pitty the butchered the original Pokemon by evolving it in Rhyperior. Rhydon looks better in my opinion. So take it away Boyo with your awesome avatar.

[quote].....comes up with a [i]Pokemon [/i]and gives a clue as to what it is. This could be a vague description, an excerpt from a Pokedex entry, little known trivia, or some other information that will lead to the [i]Pokemon[/i].[/quote] Plus, the topic is "Mystery Pokemon." So say I, the creator of this topic. Edit:Eh, might as well put it back on the right track while I'm here. [b]This Pokémon holds the distinction of being the first Pokémon ever created according to Ken Sugimori.[/b]

Hmmm...very difficult question. I have never been one to use Pickup to get items, though I have considered doing it in the past. The main reason being, luckily enough, trying to farm Leftovers. Tried to find ways to get Leftovers in HeartGold recently and you can either keep stealing it from Snorlax, keep stealing it from Koga, or use Pick Up. Haven't done it yet because you need a high level Pokemon with Pickup. Even at lvl 100, there is only a 1% chance of getting Leftovers. But you don't need to be level 100, the lowest level you need to be is-*click* Beep. Beep. Beep. .......... .................... Sorry, got disconnect. Anyway, I know that Leftovers can first be obtained between the levels of 81-90. Then between 91-100 you can also get a really good TM, probably Flamethrower or Earthquake or something like that. I'm 95% sure the answer is C. 81

I refuse to recognize that as an equal run because he got all the mainstream games. You should have quizzed him on Pokemon Snap! or Pokemon Pinball.

Bah! Defeated by a spin-off series I have never touched. Now I want to study this so I will always remember it. *goes to Bulbapedia* Ok, Bulbapedia just made me more confused: "The user and all allies in the room will receive a speed boost for a short period of time." That...sounds like it increases Speed. Which makes me think I once read the article on Agility and subconsciously influenced my incorrect answer. Curse you Bulba for not specifying speed in a spin-off game in the past when I randomly read articles and influenced me toward defeat!

Ooooh, this one is actually tough. Simply because I have never played the PMD series. I have however read about various aspects of the games on Bulbapedia either intentionally or while reading another article. Now I am pretty positive it is not D as I would imagine a move like Teleport would do that. I also don't think it increases your turns as I can't think of any move that would do that so it would probably be an item in the game. Now with it being between A and B...hmmm. Don't want to use a lifeline this early and I'm going to hope that certain ideas of the series are true for all the games... B. Increases your Speed The way I look at it if I get it right, score one for logically thinking it through. If I get it wrong, Bullet gets to play and maybe more people will line up to play.

Oh ho ho, I almost said Dragon there before catching myself. Dragon Rage is completely different and Rage is... A. Normal Final Answer Such a simple attack really. Your Pokemon gets attacked and now it's ANGRY! RAAAAH!

I think only two Pokemon have this ability, one being Pinsir and the other... D. Rampardos Final Answer But what happens if Pinsir and Rampardos face off! Mold Breaking their Mold Breakers!

Ah, the questions start to get a little tricky. But I know for a fact that Mega Punch is actually a Normal move so of course it's... C. Hammer Arm Final Answer I think Hammer Arm might be the only one of those that Hitmonchan does NOT learn.

Unless you're playing Yellow and consider Lt. Surge blocking your way to league champion then... A. Raichu Took me a minute to remember what Pokemon blocks you in DPPt, then I remembered Psyduck. If only you could catch them, too.

I was worried there would be a trick here with Water/Flying [i]and [/i]Flying/Water, but this is only a $200 question so... D. Water/Flying Final Answer Damn Nintendo nerfing Gyarados by not giving it Dragon/Water because "it would have been too powerful"

C. Torchic Final answer
