Some of the stats boost moves are a little too crazy.



Huh? What do you mean? Being able to hit when you shouldn't has nothing to do with moves like stealth rock or toxic spikes. Unless I'm missing something.
The only moves that can get rid of stealth rock are blocked by ghost types. Rapid spin can't be blocked this way now.
 
Seeing that leaked pokedex has really put me off on this game.. I don't really want any of those pokemon in my team.

Generally the first forms look the best and the final evolutions are mostly kinda shitty and suffer from the Poochie syndrome with very few exceptions..

Copypasta:

616: Chobomaki: snail wearing an iron helmet.
617: Agirudaa: Ticked-off snail ninja

588: Kaburuchi: shady-looking beetle
589: Shubarugo: bug-knight wearing an upgraded version of Chobomaki's armor.

Why does the iron-helmet snail not tun into a knight wearing the same armor?

It was intentional. To evolve Chobomaki and Kaburuchi, you have to trade one for the other. In the trading process, Kaburuchi steals Chobomaki's helmet in order to evolve, and Chobomaki is now stuck without a helmet and evolves into a really ticked-off snail.

But how could it steal the helmet during the trade? Aren't they still in Pokeballs? WHAT'S HAPPENING GAME FREAK?

Don't be trollin' us, Firestorm. Just look at every thread in the B/W Forum. :lol

It's just the idiot peasants and not you glorious Site Admins
Well, that shouldn't be worrying anyone then! Current rules say no tier discussion for a reason!
 
Blaziken @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4HP
-Claw Sharpen (the Atk + Acc move, I believe?)/Swords Dance
-Blaze Kick
-Hi Jump Kick
-Thunder Punch/Stone Edge

I think this set is pretty simple. Switch in on a resisted move or after something's been KO'd and scare it off. SD/Claw Sharpen on the free turn and then sweep with a huge smile on my face.Claw Sharpen's accuracy boost works really well with Blaze kick's, Stone Edge's and HJK's less than desirable accuracy. The choice between TP/SE depends on whether you're more afraid of Bulky Waters or Mence/Nite/Lati@s. The main threats to this set:

1) Rain Dance teams make it difficult to get started and lower Blaze Kick's power. But with a few turns on its belt, Blaziken will be able to outspeed them and hit hard with Thunder Punch.

2) Priority moves, aqua jet in particular kind of ruin the set. It's probably a good idea to support Blaziken with something like Weezing who can candle Azumarill like a champ and also deal with those pesky earthquakes.

3) Intimidate kind of ruins the fun a little, especially if you use Claw sharpen. The worst part is that Gyarados and Mence are only weak to TP and SE respectively >.<

4) Stupid Shuckle! Fortunately nobody uses him anymore, but think about carrying a special based water type to get rid of it.

5) Blaziken isn't too keen on entry hazard on his side of the field. Use Starmie to get rid of them! (note: Starmie also takes out Shuckle rather nicely. Two birds with one stone!) The other side of the field is fair game though. :D

Blaziken is my Joint Favourite Pokémon, so I'm really glad to see him become truly viable competitively.
 
Oh my gosh, Espeon gets a brand-new ability! :O
What could it be?! :O

EDIT: Magic Guard Alakazam (if he can survive the hits, lol)
Serene Grace Mebukijika

So many Psychic-types with new (untranslated) abilities.

Especially that one. It was bad enough when the rivals started being friendly, but at least I could still take fighting them seriously.

Pf

Its a great theme that fits the tone, i think what bothers you the most is the fact that like you said, your rivals are friendly (they are not your rivals though, your rival is N), wich to me its perfectly fine.

The theme just fits with that, its a fun theme for your first battle, it doesnt need to be BADASS.

Unless the rival has stopped being a miniboss battle out of the blue, I don't buy it. RSE and DPP struck a balance between the extremes that I can live with, but the term "rival" is pretty clearly a misnomer at this point.

If that's true, then Black is definitely the version for me.

]So about this Pokémon:
it is an ancient bug Pokémon modified by Team Plasma, right?
[/B]
I'm really interested in the lore of the legendaries this gen. They are all batshit crazy.
If it's pokedex entry is legit, then yes.
 
Good God, the soundtrack is fantastic! :D


In regards to the 'Mons themselves, the wacky and outlandish designs are a welcome change of pace. It looks like Game Freak had a lot of fun designing them.

So, to everyone that sold out for Zekrom's punk (turbine) ass

How does it feel?

I'm confused; someone else has that listed as just
"Legendary Theme", not pertaining to any of the event Pokemon.
Which one is right?
They probably just listed it as a "Legendary theme" because it is not yet 100 percent confirmed that this is Genosect's theme. Although most are assuming this is his unique theme like the ones that Deoxys and Arceus got.
 
I'm up to the first Gym leader now. Yooterii and 'Wotter' on my team. Enjoying it a lot. I hate a lot of 3D games on the DS, but this game is definitely good looking.

I'm so jealous. I still have to wait a week or so.
