The Official Pokemon Topic

Got my hands on December's issue of GI, and it had their BW preview.

 

Blargh. I hate GI. All the games that I like they give bad reviews.

 

HOW DARE THEY GIVE GOLDENEYE A 6/10!!

[Anime]

Thaaaat's not the point of my post at all, it was just the source...

 

Anyways, I like that they're retaining the names. Tsujara is the only one of the three that's different from what we've been using, and it's actually eaiser to pronounce.

[The Score in Blue]

It IS good that Japanese names are retained. It sounds weird when they're given new English names.

I know. But I just felt the need to share that with everyone. ^_^

[Luciana]

How are you supposed to pronounce Tsujara? I'm a little disappointed they're not going to give the Pokemon English names this gen. Most of them feel awkward to say.

[Anime]

For Tsujara, pretend the t isn't there. sue-jah-rah. Technically the t should make the s sound really sharp, but that's the least mutilated version I can think of.

[Luciana]

So the sound would be the same as "tsunami"? That T in the front threw me off. Thanks.

[Anime]

Yeah, like that. Sorry, it's a bit hard to explain without maknig the sounds. xD

I haven't had trouble with pronouncing the previous ones, but for some reason, my husband says all of them with some sort of accent. I don't know why. He does it for all of them, and he doesn't have an accent.

 

Does anyone know much about the Mystery Dungeon, Red version for GBA? I just started messing with it, and I got Eevee for my Pokemon, and I know you can evolve them after you finish the story line. Does anyone know if you can evolve the Eevee into Leafeon as well, or is it just the 3 first evolutions?

I have Mystery Dungeon Blue, which is virtually the same to Red.

It's only up to the first 3 generations so there is no Glaceon or Leafeon there. :(

[Spritzie]

Is the Blue for GBA? We've been asking several people at GameStop, and they all said that Red was the only one for GBA, but there's several for DS.

 

I was really hoping to be able to get Leafeon, but Vaporeon is my second favorite.

 

Thank you!

The original Red/Blue/Yellow was for Gameboy Color and then FireRed/LeafGreen was remade for the Gameboy Advance. Red and Green were the first colors to come to Japan but in America, green was changed to blue.

 

For Leafeon, you can only get them on Diamond/Pearl/Platinum for the DS for now (heard they will be available for Black/White coming next year) and trading them to the other games for the DS.

 

Vaporeon at least is easier to get in almost every other game ^^

[Anime]

She's talking about Mystery Dungeon.

 

MD Red is the only GBA one. MD Blue, Time, Darkness, and Sky are all on the DS. Red and Blue are 3rd gen, for Eevee you can get the first 5 evos. Time, Darkness, and Sky are 4th gen, so all Eevee evos are avalible.

Thank you! I might be getting a DS for Christmas, so I will have to get one of the others.

[flyingeevee]

Oops! My bad xD That's what I get for not reading the previous page ^^;

 

What Anime said is true though =D

 

So far, Sky Dungeon has been a great improvement for all the dungeon games that I've seen and played! Plus unlike Time/Darkness, you can be an Eevee again!

[Spritzie]

So you recommend Sky Dungeon, over the others?

 

What are some of the basic differences between Sky, Time, and Darkness?

[Anime]

They're set up the same way as the main games, pretty much. Time and Darkness were released at the same time, and are pretty much the same with with a few Pokemon exclusive to each. Sky has the same base storyline, but there are more possible Pokemon you can be, there's a chunk of storyline after the offical ended added, and there's extra missions that expand some other characters. Sky also got a bit of a mechanics update, as per usual with such things.

 

So yeah, if you're just getting one, go with Sky. I have all of them, but that's because I'm obsessed.

[Spritzie]

I'm so new to the whole Pokemon thing, that I'm fairly clueless to how anything works. I've only played FireRed and the MD Red so far.

 

I will definitely get Sky first, but I'll probably end up with all the others eventually as well.

[The Score in Blue]

@Spiritzie, just be warned that going to newer games will make one of the older GBA Pokemon games (Blue, Ruby etc.) appear worse...

[Anime]

Murf. I jumped the gun a bit. They are changing the names...

 

 

 

Tsujara will be Snivy (snake + ivy), Pokabu will be Tepig (tepid + pig, I don't get it either), and Mijumaru will be Oshawott (???? + otter).

 

Also, for the first time ever, the region is being renamed. Isshu will be known as Unova. What idiot decided that, why was there any need to rename the region.

 

 

Ok, Tsujara's I can live with. Kinda fits. Pokabu's is.... odd. But not completely horrible. Mijumaru's, however.... uh....

I know :) I don't mind. I don't want to stay on older games forever. I've only done it because I wanted to start at the beginning and my progress has been slow.

Okay, those are silly. I agree with you completely. I like the original names better though. Especially with Pokabu and Mijumaru's.

[tempdisplay]

And Isshu is Unova!!! :(

 

I really miss the Japanese names, they sounded so much cooler.

Hey guys, I need help. I can't find the Strength HM in Pearl.

And in PLatinum, does anyone know where the move deleter is? I wanna tranfer all my good pokemon to my SoulSilver game but most of them know HM moves.

Oh btw, I just feel like sharing that I caught Raikou in SS today! 8D I was catching hoppips and ekans to trade to Platinum and it appeared near Azeala town. :D

 

Oh, btw, what's everyone's favorites from the new gen? Anyone picked out some pokemon they want on their team yet?

I know i'm def getting that turtle one as my water-type, and the Wargle for my flying type.

[Anime]

In DP, HM04 (Strength) is on the top floor of the Lost Tower (route 209, south of Solaceon Town). In Plat, the Move Deleter is in Canalave City, near the Pokemon Center.

I never had problems with pronouncing them either, with only a few exceptions. I remeber I pronounced Arceus differently than how it is.

Looking at Snivy reminded me of Snively from the Sonic SatAM cartoon.

 

And Isshu is Unova!!! :(

Unova isn't that bad of a name. It reminds me of Supernova, because Nova is in the region name. But there really wasn't a need to change the name.

 

Yeah, but a couple of whiny American's would complain about how it's hard to pronouce the names. Rather than listen to the whining, they decided to give them names that aren't so hard to pronounce.
