That's what I thought you were talking about when you said "New Pokerap."

I think I like it exactly as much as the old one.

And yeah, White > Misty.

But being better than Misty isn't exactly a difficult task.

Great OP. Nice to see RS finally get the credit they deserve for cleaning up the Pokémon data structure on GAF.

List wars time!

The only problem I see is that you're one of 2 people on this page without a Poke-avatar. :P

Oh come on, you and I know that is completely wrong. He's not even the best Gen 5 Pokemon.

That title belongs to this magnificant bastard

Even his prevolutions are FUCK AWESOME!

To be honest, I haven't enjoyed Pokemon that much since the original. The whole IV/EV thing is just a massive turnoff for me.

It was always there, ever since the original. It's just that people discovered how the system worked by the time the GBA games came out.

Oh man, now you've done it, GAF. I've been wanting to get back to White and finish training my team. Guess I'll use the opening of this thread as an excuse..

It's been around SINCE the originals. Completely optional, too, which is part of what I love about this series. You can play however you want!

Playing through five games at once; one from each gen. I'm furthest along in Emerald, which annoys me as I'm trying to have the same amount of progress in each game at any given time but I CAN'T FUCKING PUT DOWN EMERALD.

Not really, EVs/IVs as they are now simply didn't exist back in Gen I/II. Hidden values used to be a lot more primitive.

Chopper · (10-25-2011, 10:01 AM)

I've already caught them all. I got extremely annoyed that there isn't actually enough box space for one of every single type of pokemon, particularly if you were collecting different forms and shinies. I literally ran out of space. Bring on Pokemon Gray, with MOAR boxes!

MarkusRJR · (10-25-2011, 10:24 AM)

I started a new game in Black last week and I'm already at the 6th/7th gym (not entirely sure). My pokemon seem incredibly underlevelled though. It's reached a point where I have to grind on wild pokemon that give me barely any experience. Ugh.

I don't remember ever having this problem in the prior games.

Oh, and why do these games look absolutely shit on my 3DS? It's such a downer to see my pokemon look all blurry. I know i can shrink it to it's original resolution, but then everything looks microscopic.

Yeah, the scaling is a fucking mess on the 3DS. Strangely, it bothers me more with Pokémon games than with any other game I play on it.

While pokemon looks really bad, you have not yet seen true horror. Toss Chrono Trigger in your 3DS and then you'll be stabbing your eyes out with your many styluses.

I somehow lost my copy of the game before I ever went back and leveled up 30 times or whatever I would need to do, so I never beat it.

I still have a DS lite. Do any newer Pokemon games for it avoid this sort of problem?

I got like 5 minutes into Victory Road (place you go through to get to Elite Four) on Diamond and just quit when I realised how many fucking HMs I'd have to use. I'll fire it back up when I can be bothered trading the Gen 1 starters over to White, but it really turned me off Pokemon for years.

I got White a while ago though, and just beat the Elite Four the other day. Victory Road required no HMs from what I remember, and there's a Pokemon Center where you can heal/change Pokemon (was this missing in D/P?) at the top, which you can also fly to so no need to go back through the caves. I did have to spend about 10 hours grinding my party from mid-high 30's up to 50 before taking on the Elite Four, but it was easily done while watching TV so no big deal. Then I ended up fucking the ass out of the Elite Four no problem, so maybe I didn't need to do so much grinding ahah.

Why? It doesn't have to affect your game if you don't want it to. Unless you're competitively battling in a smogon league it has absolutely zero impact on your enjoyment.

I'm currently reading through Pokémon Special (basically went back to the beginning as I had forgotten stuff). I expected the FR/LG arc to be a letdown but it's actually pretty enjoyable. Still, the R/S arc really caught me off guard, so people, don't let Ruby make you lose interest right away, everything about this arc turns out to be awesome.

Also the whole manga is worth reading for Giovanni alone.

You can go to the move deleter to forget those HM moves and the move relearner to get your old moves back. It's a stupid process, but it's possible. Most people just pick one Pokemon and give it a bunch of HM moves and let it be a HM mule.

Black and White use each HM like ones until the post game. It's like they realize that HMs suck but they can't bring themselves to break tradition.

You can pretend they're not there and just play the game like a normal person. Not everyone has to play it competitively.

But if Iris wasn't in the cartoon who would call Ash a kid five times every episode?

Always loved pokemon. Been playing it since the start. Glad to see a pokemon thread on the gaming side again :). I agree w/ the op that people should read pokemon special. It's incredibly good. I read up to ruby and sapphire... got distracted w/ going to college and have yet to go back to it =/... Also recently started rewatching the first season of pokemon. Quite good. Don't think I can ever go back to the anime and catch up though. Amazing it's still going.

Also, everyone say hello to the best pokemon
