(Why is Blue still 13?)

BW2 happens in the same year as the Johto/Sinnoh games I guess.

Nope. It's confirmed that BW take place several years (I think it's 6, but I'm not sure...) after Sinnoh/Johto, seeing as the Rocket Grunt with broken english now has a family, and BW2 takes place 2 years after BW... In other words, Blue's now around 21 or so...

You forgot the time-hole paradox he fell into.

Does anyone else get people in the Random Match up fights that quit as soon as you knock out a single Pokemon? It happens to me.

ALL. THE. TIME.

And anyone excited for Pokewood?

Looks pretty cool to me.

[Jomei]

Looks a hell of a lot better than musicals.

[Godzillatheultimate]

Anything is better than the musicals.

Sinnoh Super Contests. Boom. You done gone derped.

The musicals are a bit of silly fun. The Super Contests are a labyrinth of intricate rules wrapped up in adjustable aspects intertwined with an overly complex algorithm designed to make that fun little thing from Hoenn as fundamentally incoherent as possible.

Plus, why is making bread an upgrade? Last game, I made fudging candy, for Arceus's sake.

Crap. I was just gonna get someone to bump this for me so I could post it.

Anyways, I love how they approached the advertisement this time around, anime style. Anyone else kinda cringe from that noise when Arcanine bit down on Sevipor? And it seems N and the Shadow Triad have bigger roles this time around. Nice to know the ice isn't just there to hide spoilers.

I'm currently doing my first ever Nuzlocke Challenge on Pokemon Diamond. The rules I'm using are:
1. If a Pokemon faints it is considered dead, must be put in a PC box for eternity or released.
2. Must catch the first Pokemon I find on every route. If I KO the Pokemon then I get no Pokemon from that route.
3. Species clause - If the first encountered Pokemon in a route is one I already have I will try again until I find something I don't have.
4. No healing items. This means no potions, antidotes, and especially no revives.

Currently level grinding to fight against Rourk in the Oreburgh Gym.
Pokemon team is as follows:
Tortilla - Male Turtwig Lv. 14
Bradshaw - Male Bidoof Lv. 10
Stanley - Male Starley Lv. 13
Miss Cleo - Female Abra Lv. 10
Broulder - Male Geodude Lv. 7
Aswang(It's the name of some female vampire) - Female Zubat Lv. 8

Currently no Pokemon have died, I've missed catching 3 Pokemon, and I have no Pokemon in my PC storage box.

Just dug this up from the run I started like two years ago. Pretty sure I'm using the same rules, minus the no healing items clause. Then again, I'm not certain. I may very well pick this up again and play it in conjunction with my Black "shitty team with DW abilities" run (which is going AWESOME).

Has anyone had much success with the Masuda method? I'm thinking of trying it out, looking for any tips.

[Godzillatheultimate]

Any mons from another country, if memory serves......... is going to significantly cut down the number of non-shinies you'll end up with. Additionally, having a slugma or magcargo in your party is going to make them hatch quicker.

[MothraRocks]

Would it have to be a Slugma/ Magcargo? Or could it be any fire type?

[Godzillatheultimate]

Only slugma/magcargo, if memory serves.

[Godzilla 2000]

It can be any pokemon with the ability "magma armor" or "flame body."

I haven't explored it yet, but would also like to hear any positive stories about it.

I tried it, and got a shiny Axew after 409 eggs, as well as a shiny Bouffalant after only 179 eggs.

Though on the flipside I've gone through 1,000 eggs and no shiny Pawiard, so.....yeah.

I just made my new record in the Battle Train, 48 consecutive battles in Singles. Now if I had more variety I could probably make a better team for this propose :p

JulesVern died. To a Skitty. And it's Doubleslap hax.
