Most teams carry Flamethrower to cheaply dispose of Ferrothorn, rendering it nothing more to a pile of ashes due to its poor typing.

I say go with Bronzong. It makes a better Steel-type wall than thorny.

looks like someone had a a bad run-in with a ferrothorn...

No, but I once had an ugly encounter with a Cinccino. Rotten luck that day.

[Larry]

Sometimes I'll get rocked by awful Pokemon. Octillery and Ampharos for example.

[EternalSword7]

Unfortunately, despite its appearance, Cinccino is not an awful Pokémon. Took me completely by surprise.

Pokemon kills Pokemon with Move.

Your argument is invalid.

Great just what we needed, another lvl 100 Arceus with Nothing special,*sigh* thank's to all the people that ruin something good for something shitty.

I can't help but wonder if pokemon.com planned that. I seriously doubt that all the ten year olds made their own Arceus script to keep it ahead of Ditto and Mudkip from the start.

Guys why r u all against me on
The more your Pokemon like you the more likely their attacks are to hit
When I battled with my first Pokemon (groudon lv83) I kept on using fissure and it kept on missing, but 4 years later groudon is now lvx and fissure mostly hits

OHKO have nothing to do with happiness, and no reputable source anywhere will say otherwise. You cannot argue against fact.

Accuracy for OHKO moves works as

((User Level) - (Target Level)) + 30

If your Pokemon is the same level as the target, OHKO moves will not work.

Just to add, it's not just OHKO moves. Literally ALL Pokemon moves' accuracy has nothing to do with Happiness.


Also, OHKO moves won't work if the user has the same Level as the target or lower
The only time it will work is if the user has higher Level than the target. And even then there's still that shaky 30 accuracy in the way......

Bronzong, while it does have the advantage of it's opponent not knowing whether to use fire or ground attacks against it, doesn't have leech seed or spikes. And Ferrothorn is common on rain teams, where it's fire weakness is less of an issue. I find focus blast to be more useful than flamethrower, due to increased power and not being hindered by rain.

[destructo]

Ferro is better than Bronzong. It can recover health by leech seed and set up hazards. It also walls rain teams which are p common. It also has 2 great stabs which make some mons think twice about trying to set up

Whoa this is dying...well new Topic: Anyone care to share how they feel about the new game?

miju!

[abrar14]

Meh. I was hoping for something better but whatever. If this comes to England i'll be getting it.

[alyssnreshiram]

I. Love. TYPHLOSION!!

It is one of the best starters ever. Plus it's great moveset, Typhlosion is one heckuva killing machine. xD

About the new game(about the new avatars too)

What the hell!? Are those Samurai helmets?(really drags out from pokemon imo)
but the people somehow match up with their trainers(except the female and male characters with eevee)

I'm such a critic

[Geekachu]

I think the new game looks really good, actually. I've always been interested with the concept of Pokemon set against an older setting, so I think this could be very interesting.

However, I can't say that I'm too interested elsewhere (what, with the rumble-esque gameplay, it seems.) I'd say that I'm probably a lot more interested in the art styles and concepts more than the game itself, but nevertheless, I think it's refreshing.

[Hatsune Miku]

i think thats the problem with me. im like young and not old to look at true manga graphics
but the company has made a bif difference from adventure to RPG?

[Victory]

I don't think the new game will come out in the US, which disappoints me...

[Mijuwott]

I hope it does out or else i'll have to import it which will be not a big problem but more difficult than just going to a GameStop or ToyRus..

miju..

[The Imposter]

I've compiled rough statistical averages for every stat in the game, in case anyone wants to discuss them.

HP: 65
Attack: 74
Defense: 67
Special Attack: 65
Special Defense: 65
Speed: 65

This is for all Pokemon, and it amuses me how many 65s are on this. Seems like something that would work quite well in LC, or in the early stages of the game. I wonder if these could be the stats of the early rodent if they ever created something with these stats. Fair Attack, better Defense then Special Defense, and relatively poor everything else.

While I agree that he is a boss, I prefer Sceptile.

It looks exciting, hopefully it comes out in the US.

Same here. My favorite starter out of all of them.
