Oh, okay. In that case, I agree. You have to admit though, despite three quarters of Lance's team being comprised of Pokémon from the same family, it's still super exciting every time you fight him. I'm personally hoping that a future game will give us the opportunity to fight every past Champion as a sidequest, if only to hear those epic themes again.

its too busy. spots, and the crossed lines in the eyes, the segmented blue parts of its body with even more spots and the ear/tusk things. it could lose a lot of that and look better.
im not a gen 1 snob, but it did have all the good fire types. later generations just cant compare.

I'm not a fan of the Gen I Fire Pokemon, to be honest, mainly because Growlithe, Flareon, Rapidash, Ninetails, Charizard, and Moltres are all kind of...I dunno, boring? Well, with the former three, they're the type of Pokemon you often see furry-ized, I guess I'll admit I don't enjoy "beautiful mammalian" Pokemon like them, and the latter two just never interested me.
Best Gen I Fire Type is Magmar!
Always been a fan of the more ugly Pokemon, I guess. Just more charming to me.

I can't believe anyone could hate Volcarona. I love that guy.
@Link1110: You can if you get the Cut HM and take a detour through Diglett Cave. It's not really worth it though because it's a pretty long way and the Geodude you'd catch would be pretty under leveled at that point. Maybe you should just catch a Diglett or teach one of your current Pokemon Dig.

I heard that all tha gyms Pokemon are lightning types, so I wanted a geodude because my pikachu couldn't hurt the geodudes.

What are you still doing here? Fly, to your nearest gaming retailer and procureth thee a copy of White version! You're missing out on one of the finest games in the series!

Blasphemy, Black is superior.
Or should I say
serperior
(Granted, we're at a point now where online trading is a viable enough option that your version of choice doesn't really matter anymore)
I've been going through the entire series again. Done Gen I and Gen II, on Ruby right now.
BTW, I agree with you on D&P. A Dragon type trainer having Gyarados and Charizard kind of makes sense, but WTF at a Fire type trainer having Steelix? But I think Platnium was an improvement.

Co-sign. Most of us at least agree Black/White are the best, tightest, and most refined in the series, and the saner 59% of us agree White is the better of that pair.

Ha! That was so fun. I just The house with the musicians and they ask if you want to hear and they add more detail to the theme music. The detail in this game is soooo cool.
Hey speakin of which. The screen of my dsl has kinda been getting me down. So I've been thInking bout getting a dsi. And I like th line green version from Japan. I know the dsi is region locked for eshop stuff but what about the dsi exclusive feature of black? Will they work fine on a Japanese dsi?
Edit: and they just implie you'll meet "someone" hahahaha this Is delightful.

Restarted my copy of Heart Gold. Goodbye, Spiky-Eared Pichu
On the plus side, really loving replaying it again. I forgot how much I liked about this game. Pokémon walking behind you is the best <3 Shame that was not in B/W
I'm going to have to restart mine whenever I eventually rebuy it, as I lost my HeartGold a year or so ago when I left GameStop with Bayonetta. I've never lost a Pokemon game before as I still have my original Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, etc. With Gold being my favorite version, it's just crazy that I lost it. I have Diamond and Platinum of all things too, plus I've never lost a DS game besides that one.
You shall be missed.

What's your reasoning behind this? White has the better Legendaries, the better Opelucid City, the better final Gym Leader, and the better version-exclusive area and Pokémon (minus the unfortunate exclusion of Whimsicott). It's just all-around better.
Just checked this out.
http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/versioncity.shtml
Honestly, i'd rather have Black City then another forest.

There's an in-game trade for Whimsicott, making White superior in all aspects.
Then you start playing and find out that neither is worth anything at all

Depends what you mean by obtainable; Magikarp isn't catchable in Black and White, but can be bought from a post-game NPC. Pikachu doesn't count any more, despite its image being plastered throughout the game.
Also, the likes of Machop, who were previously available everywhere which wasn't Colosseum or XD, are available through White Forest only, which means you can't get them in Black.
EDIT: I suggest leaving Dream World out, lest we all get confused.
I'm sure there's a few, but these are the ones I found (appearing in the wild, no dream world ie; no wild Geodudes in BW):
Jigglypuff

Say "Pokémon Black" out loud.
Now, say "Pokémon White" out loud.
Which one sounded cooler?

I find this holds true all the way back to the Red/Blue days.
The primary version (Red, Gold, Ruby, Diamond, Black) just has a "cooler" sounding name. I think that's why they tend to sell better, though I believe both versions of Silver sold better than Gold.
ThatObviousUser

White's also sold better than Black, IIRC.
Hmm, might be the first time two second-versions in a row have sold better? (SoulSilver and White.)

Well that's easy. It's because SS and White have the better cover legendary, of course. Ohohoho
But so does Pearl. :/

Better. Cover. Legendaries. Do. Ho. Ho.

Maybe another reason could be because when you say them both, one is always said before the other. And it held true for the games, before 4th gen. Or is it possible that because they came much later in the DS's life, they were less susceptible to instant 'pick up this version first since it's first' sort of deal? Or maybe it's because people wanted to pick the opposite version this time around (for HGSS). Who knows.

Pearl is pink, therefore "to girly" for little boys.

Both Diamond and Pearl had garbage cover Legendaries, in my opinion. I'm always surprised at the amount of praise the Time Pony and the Space Phallus get from the same people who criticize Zekrom and Reshiram.
