I don't suggest you do this coz bubapedia said themselves that is a malware ad. Stay away from it until the dust settles.

It seems the dust has settled bulbapedia has been given the all clear by google.

Yesterday i accessed it via yahoo search on explorer and the site had its own updates on the matter.

here they are:

Bulbapedia: The current issues are not only impacting Bulbapedia, but also a number of other large websites using these same ad networks.

Bulbapedia: Please be aware Google has updated their Safe Browsing diagnostic page for us again. Seems our ad network has not yet resolved its issues.

Bulbapedia: Based on the new information from Google, it appears we're suffering from the same rogue ad issue impacting other sites, including Twitpic.

Bulbapedia: Google has updated its listing on Bulbapedia, and we are investigating. It appears these are the result of rogue ads. google.com/safebrowsing/d…

Bulbapedia: We have requested a review by Google of their malware alert message. After our own review, we believe it's the result of a malicious report.

Anyone noticed how Gamefreak sometimes fail with a Pokemon's moves in a game.

A Lanturn in Emerald with EQ(In Victory Road)
A Squirtle in HGSS with curse(In Union Cave)
A Land Wormadam with Leaf Storm in BW(in route 12)

A Squirtle in HGSS with curse(In Union Cave)

Considering Squirtle could learn Curse via TM03 in Gen II, I'm guessing it had the move back on GSC and they decided it would be cool to keep it as an Easter Egg maybe...?

[Excitable Boy]

Let's ask Lance and his RB Barrier Dragonite, or his Gen II Rock Slide Aerodactyl.

[ToeyJoey]

The Aerodactyl would have been traded back to RBY then had the Rock Slide TM used on it then transferred back to GSC.

[Excitable Boy]

The Aerodactyl would have been traded back to RBY then had the Rock Slide TM used on it then transferred back to GSC.

That makes sense, until you realize that Aerodactyl is incompatible with the 1st Gen TM48.

[ToeyJoey]

Well **** me.

Not going to continue with spam posts like this so I'll edit to mention how very droll the below remark was.

[Excitable Boy]

Well **** me.

No, thank you. I'm good.

[Scrufox86]

Oh my... I have been using bulbapedia over the last few days to get info on baby pokemon for the community shiny hunt. I didn't see a warning about it. And then my laptop had some issues and it was saying windows wasn't genuine. I am unsure if it is related or not but i managed to solve the issue (it seems).

By the way i just wanted to ask, is the lightball in gen V or do you have to get a volt tackle pokemon from previous gens? Was just wondering for the community hunt. If i go for Pichu then i'd want volt tackle on it.

[Malcolm Belmont]

Thank God..the Bulbapedia warning has gone away

[AGGRON GUY]

i still remember the time i evolved my lairon into aggron.i was so happy.i used him in the elite four and in the battle tower in diamond.i still use him.ounce you get one you fall in love.aggron can learn good moves like earthquake.he can learn bad ones like headbutt.aggron is great.really.he is awsome.

[Rakurai]

I'd use my Aggron more if not for the fact that fighting moves are so ridiculously common nowdays (No thanks to the Low Kick and Superpower move tutor) that there's hardly anything it can go up against without a risk of taking serious damage or getting OHKO'd.

[Zecaomes]

I used Aggron in my BW2, and, even though it's an amazing-looking Pokémon, it can get killed pretty easily. It has great defenses stats, but since it's slow, it's usually out-speeded by any other Pokémon, and, as Rarukai said one post before mine, Fighting attacks are pretty common. So I thinl that Aggron could have a bigger potential if it weren't for his typing.

[rocky505]

Sturdy helps it land a blow though.

[Thomas Elliot]

Aggron is one of my favorite Gen III pokemon.
Speaking of rock pokemon, does anyone use Golem nowadays?

I actually use a Heavy Metal Aggron, called Dio w/Heavy Slam and Head Smash... It gets off two killer attacks and dies most of the time.. But if it can get rid of that one or two annoying pokemon by simply overpowering it with Heavyx2Slam, then yeah.. That fulfills its purpose. In the metagame it sucks though...

Talking about metagame, how do you use your Maractus? I'm baffled on how to use something like that.

Nope.. Sad though, I used Golem in Silver back in the days, but ever since then avoided Geodude and the like.. Just because for some reason I simply didn't catch it (and Onix) until they were the last pokemon I needed to catch back in GenIV.. Weird how that goes.

[thesmilewolfy]

I've always followed the team set up of Fire, Water, Grass, Flying and two random pokemon. It just feels weird not having them.

And in every game I always have a Crobat in my team. Are there any Pokemon that anyone else uses in every game they're available in?
