The official Pokemon Discussion thread!

It doesn't look like it'll be for me really.

Agreed. It looks like an RPG, and I've been really disappointed with RPG's for the last few years. I am almost certain that I'll be passing on the mashup between these two. Besides, I really only play the mainstream games anymore.

[ToeyJoey]

Is this the game that CoroCoro was supposed to be revealing in January?

[dewhinifier]

Neither have I. I was hoping that Ruby & Sapphire were going to be remade. Instead we get a crossover game. I'm a bit annoyed.

I feel exactly the same. Remakes always bring back good memories.

Agreed on both.

I'm really hoping that this isn't the one Corocoro isn't announcing; that next issue comes out on my birthday, I don't want it to be news that I'll view as unfavorable...I think it'd be awesome to hear those remakes announced then :3

[Asbestospoison]

I wish that it had been R/S remakes, but the Nobunga's Ambition crossover looks interesting, to say the least. I'll at least give it a try when/if it comes to america. I've played and enjoyed other strategy games before, and of course pokemon will make it more interesting. I hope that wasn't what CoroCoro was revealing though, that would be kind of disappointing.

what new game?

Scroll down to last Friday's news and youll see what everyone is talking about.

[Zoruagible]

I've never played Nobunga's Ambition, but I'll try the game out. It looks very interesting.

[Reborn's Silver Angel]

okay... srry, i dont pay much attention to pokemon games right now......

[paracelsus]

I was really hoping they could do a RS remake, but with emerald aspects, like they did with the suicune in HG/SS (you had to chase and find it like in crystal). Mainly, I hope they revive the original frontier. It was the best out of the post-game boss systems (subway, D/P tower, and frontier 2). Its only flaw was the ability to find shines in the battle pyramid. THat had to be the most frustrating thing in any pokemon game, hands down

[Reborn's Silver Angel]

the new game looks bad***

[ThousandDragon]

For a few weeks Ive absolutely admired Crustle so much so im making a Trick Room team and i new some suggestions. The reason Ive suddenly started admiring it was when i was in the Battle Subway playing with a friend we had a pretty good streak going until my friends Haxorus fainted to a Crustles Earthquake and ever since that ive always wanted one.

Crustle works A LOT better as a shell smash sweeper than on trick room...without a boost, it can't hit hard enough unless it's super effective...

So..I've just restarted my Heart Gold version for fun and I notice alot of people bashing Butterfree. I feel so bad for it now because so far mine is kicking much ***.

*hugs Butterfree*

Ingame, ANY pokemon can, as you put it, "kick ***." When taken to the same level (competitive, battle frontier, battle facility, etc.) butterfree loses out...It gets a WONDERFUL ability and sleep powder but it's too slow and frail to utilize it against other properly trained pokes...also, its attacks stats are nothing to write home about either...

This is true.. I'm not much of a competitive battler anymore though. I really got into in Emerald but I lost my game after spending hours transferring Pokemon into it and it kind of slayed it for me. I won't have B/W until January (LATE) so maybe the new pokes will rekindle that fire.

I'm sorry about that...I send my condolences...but I assure you, BW is almost definitely enough to jumpstart any old player

[Victory]

Butterfree could maybe be good with quiver dance

[ToeyJoey]

Butterfree gets Quiver Dance.

It definetly is. I was so pumped for HG/SS and they completly dissapointed me and I left Pokemon for a while but B/W brought me right back in.

[ToeyJoey]

HGSS disappointed you Larry?

[Larry]

HGSS disappointed you Larry?

Yup. It didn't take me long to get get the first 8 badges, mabey a couple days but after that I just stopped playing for a few months before I finally beat it.

[ToeyJoey]

For me, it had to be probably the best Pokémon game, but hey, each to his own.

HG is one of my favorites too.

[ga'hoolefan]

HG/SS is probably my favorite game for the Pokemon and music.
Edit: Woo-hoo! Rank-up!

[ToeyJoey]

The GB Sounds made the music significantly better.
