So...is anyone else as psyched for Pokemon B&W as I am?

Of course, some of the new pokemon look at little...meh. But w/e, I love these games anyway.

[Hellspawn28]

Pokemon B&W looks epic, and the new combat system in the game looks awesome too.

[Hotrod93]

At first I wasnt really happy about the 3d effects in the game but now its grown on me.

Anyway I cant wait to see the remaining pokemons

[GotengoXGodzilla]

Honestly, I'm not fond of the new battle system. While the the movement is a nice addition, 3-on-3 fights seem like a bit too much. I would have rather liked to see 1-on-1-on-1 fights. But hey, that's just me.

I'm excited for the new games and the new pokemon, but I'm willing to wait until next March or April. I'm not too excited at this time.

Pokemon sucks. Everyone knows this. Durrrr.

A friend of a friend is over on Smogon bitching that they should ban Stealth Rock before they start banning Pokemon. Cuz, you know, it's warped the entire metagame and pretty much defines tiers.

I kinda agree with that, actually. Fricken EVERYONE talks about SR, and how vital/broken/overused it is. SR is the reason why pokes like Charizard and Yanmega tend to get laughed at now.

It's especially to blame for the offensive metagame. It's not that Pokemon are stronger than before (though Choice Specs/Scarf did help), it's that SR turns so many 2HKOs into OHKOs and 3HKOs into 2HKOs etc. It's ridiculous.

[Inferno Rodan]

Ugh. I hate Stealth Rock. I refuse to use it. It's too freaking obnoxious.

This, it pretty much screws up anything. Either tone the damage down or Ban it I say.

I'm really tired of Stealth Rock. I had it on my Empoleon for a while, but after thinking about it, I really don't want to run a pokemon with Stealth Rock. Its just way overused.

I'm hoping Game Freak steps up in BW and nerfs it. For the sake of trainers everywhere.

It wouldnt be so bad if SR was like Spikes, in the sense that only certain pokemon could learn it. Too many pokemon can learn it.

Again I have to agree, also Id like to see GF fix Mold Breaker.


EDIT:

This is 100% Fake just so people will know, Thier pretty good though.

So while trying to figure out a possible moveset for my shiny Golbat to use when it becomes a Crobat (thanks to being unable to breed down shininess now =/), I came across a dilemma; If Crobat uses Mean Look, then U-turns out, does the Pokemon that comes in for the switch keep the Mean Look status on the foe?

Try:
Crobat@ Black Sludge
Mean Look
Toxic
Super Fang
Taunt/Roost

Use it as a lead or wall killer.

Nope. U-turn does not pass stats/other things like Baton Pass does.

New pokemon. Nothing special though.




Also, GXG still owes me a copy of SoulSilver.

[Legionmaster]

Well it's the Mew pokemon, so it's a little special. And it's #000, which is bizarre. Poor Missingno...

Would you take a Japanese copy of SoulSilver?

Anyway, has anyone actually tried to acquire at least one copy of all 493 pokemon? You know, actually "catch 'em all"? I don't mean complete the pokedex, I mean getting a legitimate copy of all of them.

I took me about three months, but I managed to get all of them. Believe it or not, some of the original 150 pokemon were the hardest to get, because I didn't have a copy of FireRed or LeafGreen. I had to get most of them over the GTS.
