So! I've got Pokémon Pearl! Here are my pokéys, they're all around level 30:
* Monferno (evolved from Chimchar) (and winner of a Normal rank Cool contest!) - FIRE * Luxray (just evolved from Luxio yesterday, originally a Shinx caught pretty much straightaway) - ELECTRIC * Bronzor (a new addition to the team levelled up fairly rapidly) - STEEL/PSYCHIC * Kadabra (from an Abra I caught fairly soon) plea: can someone please trade this Kadabra with me and then return him so he can evolve into an Alakazam?? He can't evolve any other way and I have *never* got an Alakazam in my entire pokémon "career"! haha I am such a sad case... - PSYCHIC * Staravia (evolved from Starly) - FLYING * Psyduck (named OWL, only pokey I've actually named!) - WATER
It doesn't feel right not having a grass pokémon but I simply haven't come across any great ones - I might try out a Roselia if I find one. But Budew is a bit meh and blah. Otherwise I think I'm fairly balanced enough. Bronzor is sort of a new tactic for me, he knows Confuse Ray and Hypnosis so he can Confuse and put other pokeys to sleep which is a) good for catching wild pokemon and b) will give me time to heal other pokeys whilst opponents sleep.

One problem I have is that none of these know Rock Smash - it's a crap attack in battle and I resent having to delete a good move in order for one of my key players to get through a dungeon - I had originally taught it to a Bidof - but when I realised my Bidof was like, 10 levels below the rest of my pokemon I realised I just wasn't going to keep the dude and put him back on the bench.
― Sarah, Friday, 1 June 2007 09:19 (sixteen years ago) link
I just had to teach Staravia Defog and delete Double Team which wz irritating...

Make sure you train some good ghost/psychic/dark Pokemon for when you get to the Elite Four, even though you don't need them to beat any of the gym leaders.
― ms fotheringham (Crabbits), Monday, 3 September 2012 01:48 (eleven years ago) link
Ooh I am so mad at myself – I got to the Elite 4 and I have nothing – nothing! – good against dark, psychic, or ghost pokemon. What folly on my part, to go that long with leveling some up, assuming since they're not immediately needed, they'll never be needed? Will I ever even finish this game?

These Pokemen are expensive. After this thread's revival I thought I should get Black/White as I haven't played one in a long time, but it's still basically full price. Thought I'd be able to pick it up for a tenner or so by now. :(

you can barely get used game boy advance games for $10 on eBay. Nintendo shit holds its value new and used for a long time.

not sure i'm comfortable with this evil pokemans liberation front storyline in black. it's a little dark knight rises.

I've been playing for about a week now. The new graphics are nice but I don't think it's a huuuuuuge step up from Black/White.
Random things I like about this game: Hawlucha, Restaurant Le Yeah's triple battles (it made it so easy to get my team levelled up between the 30s/40s without grinding), the storyline giving you a few really decent Pokemon in the first half of the game, new moves, new 'fairy' type, being able to see distribution of EVs, Pikachu's voice acting
Dislikes: only Pikachu gets voice acting, poor camera angling and lack of any on-screen map when in lumiose city, 'horde battles', that some of the ppl who challenge you to battles are a bit freaky/zombie-like in their 2D drawings, too many challengers with fighting types, two dimensional Stunfisk.
― salsa shark, Saturday, 9 November 2013 22:11 (ten years ago) link
you take that back, flat Stunfisk is hilarious
― Andrew Kornfan, Saturday, 9 November 2013 23:11 (ten years ago) link
flat stunfisk is so puzzling! I know it's supposed to be flat-ish but surely not two dimensional! I honestly thought my game was glitching the first time I encountered one :/
― salsa shark, Sunday, 10 November 2013 01:13 (ten years ago) link
it's got a little bit of thickness, I thought, but I haven't encountered one since a Battle Maison match a few days ago so I could be mistaken. I think it's supposed to be one of those fish that hides from predators in the sand. I love it

my girlfriend got me pokemon pearl and a DS for our anniversary, after hearing me complain about how much i missed playing pokemon. as someone who last played silver something like 10 years ago, i was happy with how similar the gameplay is relative to the old ones (though i guess pearl is pretty old at this point). not really a huge fan of the double battles, and i'm uninterested in all the berries/pokemon contests and stuff, but the plot is still pretty good. my only real complaint would be the lack of cool pokemon to raise, though i guess i just made some bad choices. i had always gone with the water starters, so i chose piplup, but he doesn't really learn any cool moves. the other 2 i've had for a while are machop and luxio.

Sword Shield was underwhelming in a lot of ways but its new pokemon and region specific types were great. I'm not far enough into Scarlet Violet to judge it yet but the changes/updates so far are promising.
