I could see, perhaps, an interesting choice when it comes to Kanto and the RSE legendaries. Maybe Groudon and Kyogre have a rematch at Cinnabar (threatening to make the volcano erupt from the power of their battle?). With Rayquaza snoozing back in Hoenn, it's up to the player to catch/defeat...
I think the issue is more of the Sunny Day/Rain Dance split. Typically, you can't afford to do both on a single team. You'll want to decide which one serves you better in a battle with your team... I would actually go with Sunny Day rather than Rain Dance, considering your team.
I'm basically a casual Pokemon gamer. I like EV training (in most cases) during the game and to battle friends, but I must admit I prefer using my favorites more than simply going full-bore into being competitive
It ain't bad... not the greatest thing in the world. Decent stats. Kinda annoying to even find a Feebas (easy compared to finding a Shiny, however) in RSE, and I never did find one myself in Platinum (I had to trade to get one). Because of that, I basically consider them over-rated. I'm not...
What will I do different? Let's see...
-I'll choose Cyndaquil for my starter, instead of Chikorita.
-I won't use a flying type early on.
-No Geodude! I'll get a Phanpy if I can.
-Train an Oddish.
-KO every Sentret I find.
-Use Natu! Poor flying/psychic needs more usage.
GSC, and then the fourth gen are my favorites. Overall, Silver was my favorite game, with Crystal and Platinum following closely behind. I doubt I'll go the same route I did in those games when HG/SS comes out, but it'll certainly be fun to see the changes and if they'll change how I think of...
Hope not. I mean, it might be possible, but it's very unlikely to happen, considering that Pikachu's pretty much the flagship pokemon of the entire series. Not unless they plan to supplant the electric rodent from his perch upon Ash's shoulder, anyway.
Pikachu's pretty much gonna be stuck...
The only real issue I've had with the pokemon games (not just the fourth gen) is the number of seemingly-'useless' electric pokemon in the early-to-mid game. Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, basically. I understand that they're basically fillers, but I can't help but to think that just giving up the...
Okay, I'm having trouble figuring out a breed chain, so I'm hoping for some help. Without using TMs, I want to chain breed both Sludge Bomb and Energy Ball onto a Bulbasaur. I've figured out individual chain breeds for both already:
Sludge Bomb...
A few things.
One, I hope they shift the locations of several pokemon. Houndour needs to get their butts back over to Johto someplace (I could see them being found after Ecruteak, or maybe just before arriving there for the first time). The Growlithe and Vulpix (versions exclusives still...
One thing I'd like to see are special held items for the runners- Equip it to your lead pokemon and go to a certain route that might be close to Ecruteak or something, and the runner will appear. Otherwise, it'd be the standard runner-stuff. The beasts should be level 45-50 (probably 50), and...
What do I not want to see?
Honey Trees: Nice idea, honestly, but not the best execution. Making it timed was pretty horrible if you wound up forgetting about playing the game for a day.
Exclusives in Bug Catching Contest: Yeah, there's no need for it. You've already got exclusive bugs...
The Gym Leader's Pokemon would obviously be influenced by what is available in the Johto-dex. With that in mind, and with minimal guess-work as to which pokemon from 3rd and 4th generations might make it in, here's my guess for the Gym Leader and E4 teams. And yes, I also agree that the levels...
Knowing the natures and abilities of the pokemon would come in handy, but I'll just go off what I can think of for the attributes of the pokemon you're using.
Okay... First off, on the one I'm most familiar with. Luxray has a higher Attack than Sp.Atk, so you'll likely do more damage with a...
