Speaking of RSE and music...

I wished they used a remix of the desert theme from RSE for the Resort Desert in BW. One of my favorite songs in the series, and they brought it back for DP's Underground as well as part of it plays around the middle.

But the Resort Desert music ain't that bad, so oh well.

Emerald is a fantastic game. You can get a copy cheap off of Amazon. I don't understand how people can just skip an entire Generation.Andrex said:

Been here since I got my parents to import Green version for me, and haven't missed a game since.
RSE are so good.
Your problem is playing LeafGreen and not Emerald. LeafGreen is just a remake of the original Generation I games.Crunched said:
At some point you have to realize that there are well over 1500 different sprites needed for the games now, and all of those have to be animated. At the 10-15 frames of animation for each you're looking at over 20000 separate frames, and that's just for the Pokemon.Pietepiet said:
I didn't even think about it until you mentioned it. That is kind of a bummer.Suairyu said:
PBR was just straight terrible in every way.Andrex said:
Izayoi said:
Like I said on the previous page: What I mean is not attack, recoil, death, etc. animations. I just want them to think about what they're doing, instead of just rotating parts around. I wouldn't mind the grainy sprites (because of the sprite rotation) so much if the animation actually felt good, but some of it is just lazy and unprofessional and seems like they know shit about animation.

Yeah...I'm wondering, was it the same Pokemon for everyone that N's...
Zoroark transforms into? It was Klingklang during BOTH battles on my Black and White versions. Luckily I went with a Fighting Move!
This is actually totally reasonable IMO. The sprites definitely have a "cut and paste" look to them (some moreso than others) and I'd really hope for a better effort in Gen VI. I wonder how much could be done in this generation and maintain compatability though...Pietepiet said:

I don't know about that, but my gut feeling makes me 90% sure they'll introduce at least one new type in Gen 6. In Gens 4 and 5 they really tried hard to fill out that Pokemon type matrix and put a check mark in all possible type combinations. After 17 mainline games they even finally made a pure Flying type!

On a different matter, I really, really like that when watching Battle Videos saved on the VS. Recorder now, you can fast-forward or rewind to specific gameplay turns, as well as pause.
It can also help with battle annotations, for people that do commentary on other sites.
I should have probably assumed they do this anyway, seeing as how they balance Pokémon by color palette already.

Actually, I remember reading a while ago that Frillish and Jellicent were originally just Water types, but had their type changed to provide more 'balance' to the overall Unova dex.Andrex said:

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I'm probably going to eventually be active in this thread as far as trading. Right now I'm working on getting all the starter pokemon throughout all the generations (this is my first goal, anyway) so it's going to take me a while.
Anyway, my first plan is to breed my Serperior (when I eventually get it). Just a few questions: When I breed it, the egg I will get will be a Snivy, right? I know my Snivy/Serperior has to be female and it is (I do not have a Ditto).
Also, is there a rule of thumb of pokemon that generally are compatible with each other? I want to know which pokemon to use to breed with Serperior.
If I breed a pokemon with a nickname, I can rename or let the baby keep its original name, correct?
And lastly, does the daycare make my pokemon go up in levels?
Sorry for some of what may seem common sense questions, it's just been a while since I played a Pokemon game.

1. Yes, it will hatch as a Snivy.
2. Egg groups determine who can breed with who. Serperior is in the Ground and Plant groups, so it can breed with any Pokemon in those groups.
3. You can rename the baby Pokemon or leave it as is.
4. The daycare gives experience at a rate of 1 exp = 1 step. This can cause you to level depending on how long you leave the Pokemon in the daycare.

Question about the larvesta egg. Is the gender/nature determined right as you receive the egg or when it hatches?
Breeding with nicknames has no effect on the Pokemon from the egg.Shrinnan said:
There are certain egg groups that are compatible with each despite being different species. Serperior is in the Ground and Plant Egg Group so any Pokemon in those groups can breed with Serperior. Woobat and Scrafty are early Pokemon lines that can breed with Serperior as well as Petilil and Ferroseed.

Interesting thought that just occurred to me: GF made most of these changes to the main game with a secondary objective -- to further multiplayer battles, as well as to provide a wider pool of people who can battle in official tournaments.
1. Providing what's essentially the equivalent of wild Chansey in every single patch of grass.
2. Giving a free Lucky Egg as part of the main story.
3. Experience scaling
4. High-level end-game opponents, both wild and trainer
These 4 make it so that getting up to level 50, GF's 'tournament' level, is as easy as possible.
5. Making TMs infinite
This is so that it's easier to try out movesets without having to worry about teaching a TM to a certain male Pokémon, and then going through tumultuous breeding. This + Heart Scale availability mean that the only thing that really needs to be thought out are moves from previous gens + egg moves. Thereby making moveset tests easier. For battle.
6. Introducing the Global Union
Global ranked battles/free matches should make it easier for GF to balance the game in future iterations, seeing as they can collect data on actual cart matches, looking at strengths/weaknesses, who's too powerful/needs a buff because of X, restricting Y, or other uses.
Of course, this is just me rambling. For all I know, GF could not care less about the data collected online. But it could be interesting to think about.

Oh, I read about the Frillish/Jellicent type-change too...it seems last minute though. In Dream World, for example, they learn Damp...which protects them from Self-Destruct and Explosion...
Normal moves that don't hit Ghost-types.
I like that they changed them though, even though the girl who designed them were apparently upset. We have WAYYYYYYY too many pure-Water Pokemon. :/
Anyway, in terms of game mechanics, I agree with a mechanic change next Gen, but it might also mean another RS situation where inter-gen trading is removed. Then again, I think that if the series needs to grow, then it might have to make that sacrifice. And I think I'd be okay with it...

No you got it. Gamefreak is becoming increasingly more amicable towards the hardcore enthusiast community and it shows.

Yeah, damn the C-Gear. That is just really dumb it still counts as time.
Nice @ the amount of Pokemon caught, I only got like 61 before I beat the game.

I just wish they introduced EVs into the main game next Gen...
Like, maybe in the post-game (so as to not pressure those looking to simply have fun through the main game), open up some kind of new area that explains (in simple terms) the basics behind EVs, provide trainers who specialize in Pokemon who give certain EVs, and provide a basic counter to keep track of them in-game.
If you remove the math, EVs fit into the "story" well enough...in order to raise speed, for example, you fight speedy Pokemon. A simple explanation behind all the complicated math.
Another idea I had was to make it like other RPGs where you distribute the stats...each Pokemon would give you EVs still, but they'd be neutral, and every 4 you collected would mean you could add one point to a stat upon leveling up, in addition to the increase due to natures. That way, even casual players could distribute stats in a way they'd like, while hardcore could still focus on improving the stats in the best metagame friendly way without having to keep a tally count of how many EVs they've collected.

I picked up Pokémon White today, so I eagerly await to join PokéGAF when I get my 3DS.
