The Official Pokemon Topic

[Anime]

My guide recommends level 53. Of course, with a Remex (my Archeops) at 54 and Berin (my Emboar) at 60-something, it wasn't bad. I just caught Reshiram. Only had to use one Ultra Ball, it scared me a bit. But not as much as Zekrom did. That was freaky. o.o Also, a note: Listen to the music in N's castle, and explore all the rooms. There's some intresting bits of dialouge. Reshiram had his own battle music. x3

[Noog]

Yeah, we probably have the same guide. :P It recommends 53 but you'll survive with all 51s if you don't mind purchasing some revives and potions.

Guess I have a bit of training to do xD

 

I'll probably try to face the Elite Four today if I train long enough or tomorrow C:

[Anime]

Well obviosuly, Prima has dibs on all the Pokemon guides... And it's a good idea to have a lot of healing items on hand anyways.

[Noog]

Well I saw 3 different Pokemon guides. Two of them are the same, one being limited edition hardback (like mine). I'm not sure about the third one though...maybe it was just a pokedex.

 

Just beat Ghetsis. We each had one pokemon left (Seismitoad, Samurott) and I used retaliate to take him down. Seems fitting. :)

[Anime]

Yeah, they're all by Prima. The Collector's Edition is the guide and Dex in one, and in the normal versions it's split so there's three.

The 4th gym is of the electric type. The leader has 2 Emolgas and 1 Zebstrika. It's in Nimbasa City next to the Ferris Wheel. If I'm not mistaken, you can walk directly right from the Pokemon Center exit and you should see it.

 

Thx for telling which pokemon the gym leader had, though i found the gym before i read your comment. now i know to start with boldore (named Cyrok)

[Manta]

How's everyone doing in Pokemon? I've had to take a break since I got to the postgame and realized i'm WAYYYYY underleveled hahaha

My brother, on the other hand, is on break this week, so he was able to finish his Unova Dex already, and is working on the National Dex :P

[Spritzie]

I.... um, sadly, picked my starter, and named it. :laughingsmiley: (Though I wanted a female one. :( But every time I got to that point, it ended up male.)

 

But we got a used DS Lite from Game Stop, so see what we think of it, but we don't think we want Lites, so we took it back. We're probably going to end up getting DSi's instead.

[Manta]

Female starters are the best!! :D My Snivy was female :)

 

The cool thing about playing Pokemon on a DSi is you can use the in-game video chat. On the DS Lite, it's just a voice chat. Me and my friends tried it out, and it's really sweet. Not too useful though, since you can't access other menu screens while you're using it :P

[Spritzie]

Awww! I'm so jealous! I picked Snivy, but I just keep getting male. <_< I might just keep restarting until I get female. The percentage that are male, are WAY more than female. :(

 

We originally thought we wanted the Lite, because it can do GBA games, and someone (who didn't know much, apparently) told us that was the main difference from the other two, other than the cameras. But we both already have a GBA, and the i and XLs have other features that would be great. So I'd probably go for the i (though I hate the colors) and he might go for a XL because he likes the size.

[Manta]

Ugh yeah. I never understood why they did that :sad01_anim: I like having female starters. Hope you get one soon!! *spreads luck*

 

Mm yeah. I went for the Lite because a. it played GBA games and my GBA SP was...beaten up. and b. it came in lime green

 

Also I didn't really see a point to getting a camera on a DS. I still don't :P The quality isn't good enough to justify the increased price, for me. Although the XL is pretty gorgeous, from what I've seen. And I'm looking forward to seeing how the 3DS works. :D

[Anime]

I'm in the post game, exploring various things. There IS a level jump, about 10 levels, but if you manage to power through with a lot of revives, it gets eaiser. I've got 4 Pokemon at or near level 70 now. Gonna redo the E4 to actually be Champ when I finish exploring the postgame areas.

[Spritzie]

The only other Pokemon game I've played so far, was Fire Red and I used Charmander as my starter. I wanted to name her Shar, after my best friend, but it was male. :( (But I still named him Shar.) I don't know why, but I just like females better. (I'm that way with Neopets too. Most of my pets are female. Only a couple, non-lab ones are male)

 

I like how the Lite and XLs are metallic, where as the I is matte. I'd get the light pink if I did a Lite, and probably the pink for the i as well. But I won't be happy about it! (I want a shimmery color, but the features and size are more important than colors.) I don't care about the cameras, but I guess theirs other features. I'll have to get them explained to me to see what I would be best getting. The XL just seems a bit too big.

[Manta]

Oh I hope it gets easier xD Right now my highest level is my Haxorus at level...54 I think :P

 

Aww, that's a cute name!! :D I tend to like to have an even mix of males and females, which is easier on Pokemon than it is on Neo, because Neo has so many pretty dresses!! :wub_anim:

 

My DS Lite is matte :) It's a mother's day edition or something from two years ago, and I love it :D

[Spritzie]

Has anyone seen the Pokemon Black and White DSi sets? If you get the Black set, you get a Black DSi that has both legendaries on the top (and says Pokemon Black), Pokemon Black, and a carrying case with the legendary from Black. If you get the White set, you get a White DSi that has both the legendaries (and says Pokemon White), Pokemon White, and a carrying case with the legendary from White. All for $179.99.

 

Even though we already bought the games, I was tempted to get one, since we were DSi shopping yesterday anyway, but I plan to put a cover on it to protect it (and change the color. My cover is metallic purple and I don't like the DSi colors.) and I wouldn't want to cover something that cool, but I also wouldn't want to not use a cover and have it get scratched and such.

[Manta]

Ahhh I know aren't they gorgeous??? I totally almost bought one when I went to Walmart yesterday, but I was like eeehhhh...I already have a fine DS...and the 3DS is coming out soon enough that getting a new one now would be pretty silly. :laughingsmiley:

 

On the plus side, I started working on the post game again. Black City is WEIRD man :mellow:

[Spritzie]

I was surprised Game Stop didn't have them. If they'd had them, we'd have gotten them before we got the games, most likely. But I'm going to get a plain black one for my case, and I think he wants a DS XL.

 

I haven't gotten to play yet. We didn't end up getting a DS yesterday, so it might be a week or so before I get one.

[Anime]

Black City is... intresting. It's possible yours isn't as devloped as it could be, it (and White Forest) grow with the number of people "passed by". Just go to your C-Gear, and tap the little bar at the botton with the little ovals on it, and let it load up people nearby on there. It'll raise your passed count (recorded at the bottom of the screen). I got most of my at my anime club, but I'm willing to bet you could go to the bookstore or mall and wander a bit and rack up people.

[Noog]

So that's how it gets people...I think my forest will shrink. xD

 

Reminder: Season change on April 1st!
