I heard this song before, but I never saw the music video...so odd...

 

[Nyter]

Go ahead!

Well, I already planned on buying a whole crap-ton of Kids Meals to get all these toys... now I have music to listen to while I eat them.

when I was young I collected all the toys from my favorite themes (Tarzan toys, Teeny Beanie Babies)

Listen to me...

The trick is to buy A Happy Meal once per week per McD restaurant. The toy is changed at THAT same McD store every week, but each McDonald's has a different toy...

So go out there and get your hunt and grub on! Post a pic when you got all 8.

The way you worded that made me think you were collecting the kids meals and eating all the toys lol

The problem with tiers, no matter what kind, is the lack of diversity.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Hop onto PBR Wi-Fi, where there are no rules, and have fun facing the same 12 Pokemon or so, mostly one-off Legendaries like Mewtwo, Kyogre, and Darkrai. See how well your favorites stack up against them.

As said, tiers foster diversity and allow Pokemon of similar strength to compete with one another and not have to worry about the overpowered threats of higher tiers.

Players wish for more Pokemon in OU so they have to same old over and over while at the same time, not participating in UU/NU battles because they're not standard battles.

The thing about OU/standard is you can use any Pokemon from lower tiers too. Anyone (like you) who whines and moans about a "lack of diversity" and then goes on to use the same Pokemon everyone else uses only has themselves to blame.

As for no one playing UU/NU, that's simply not true. UU had a very active community in Gen 4 on Shoddy and Pokemon Online. Right now, all the tiers are still being worked out, so yeah, there are some who are waiting and seeing what happens, but the tiers are out there being tested and it's easy to find matches. Anyone who isn't able to find one just isn't trying.

What Pikachu really needs is a better movepool to counter just enough types including the likes of Gliscor and Ferrothorn.

Pikachu has a ridiculously diverse movepool for being not fully evolved. I mean, it's huge! Throw in the 4th gen TMs and the 4th and 3rd gen Move Tutor moves and it's even bigger.

And not every Pokemon needs to be able to hit every other Pokemon. That's why we have teams.

Same goes with Raichu as the light ball should at least affect the entire family.

lol. Then it makes Light Ball Pikachu pointless because then Raichu outclasses it completely.

It's the only way to retain its mascot title before being replaced by Minccino, whose evo does a decent job, or Ferrothorn.

You're delusional if you think Pikachu is in any danger of losing it's mascot status.

Pikachu will still get more appreciation due to its evo form getting more power to do well in competitive battles.

That's not what a mascot is for.

If that were true, then why do EVs, IVs, complicated battle strategies, and the Battle Frontier exist. Seem like they do give a darn about competitive play.

EVs and IVs are just part of the formula into making each and every Pokemon unique, strategy is simply something that arises out of any game pitting people against eachother, and the Frontier is for those who want a ramped up AI to face.

Thanks for the info. I haven't bought a Happy Meal since about 12 years ago. But my city has 3 McDs.

Oh, and I still collect Pokiman stuff and I am 19.

@ScytheSwipe: I am.

I am proud of you! Honestly.. anything Pokemon is valuable to me.

I might do it too. My niece can help.

 

[Epicpokemonprotecter]

They named like half or 3/4 of all the unova pokemon...

 

[Nyter]

to life?

I was told you could bring pokemon back to life in Lavender Town using the Poke Flute and the Silph Scope in RBY. I believed it too. :c Mind you I was like 5 or 6.

back to life? If you mean fainted than no...
But if you meant dead... How? Your Pokemon don't die in the game.
The closest to "losing" a Pokemon is releasing them.

 

[Nyter]

well... Pokedex...

They named like half or 3/4 of all the unova pokemon...

Thank goodness this guy is NOT the dude who input all the Pokedex entries...
Though he'd be good for pre-shoolers.

Okay, I've made up my mind
I will DL this song for my newborn niece

 

[Blackjack the Titan]

First of all, I would like ALL of the Eevee types that are missing (Ground, Flying, Ghost, Bug, Fighting, Steel, Dragon, Poison, Rock & Normal... Why not?), and then maybe another new combination like they did with Victini, Sandile, Litwick & many others in this new generation.

I would like Poison/Electric, Dark/Psychic or Ghost/Fighting, but if there is another generation, I would really get angry if they create new pokemon with sad types like Normal/Water (Bibarel) or Normal/Grass (Sawsbuck)... Oh and also if they create another Normal/Flying Pokémon...

Poison/Electric is 4x weak against Ground moves, unless it has Levitate.
Dark/Psychic is also 4x weak against Bug.

Ghost/Fighting is something I'm looking forward to.
Also Electric/Fighting, Ground/Fighting, Ice/Fighting, and Dragon/Fighting are interesting types. I'm thinking Dragon/Fighting will be uber cuz of it's resistance to Ice.

Pikachu will still get more appreciation due to its evo form getting more power to do well in competitive battles.

No, it won't. They appreciate a better pokemon got one of best hold items in the game and simply ignore Pikachu's inferiority. If anything, since Raichu can use any set Pikachu can with the Light Ball better, Pikachu will receive less attention in the competitive battling scene.

If that were true, then why do EVs, IVs, complicated battle strategies, and the Battle Frontier exist. Seem like they do give a darn about competitive play.

Because:
1. It gives the game added depth and flexibility. You can play as a noob without bothering or even knowing of EVs, IVs or even STAB and breeding. The Battle Frontier goes back to the flexibility and depth of the game. Noobs will cower at the might of the BF but experienced players ebrace the challenge of making the perfect team to take eon the BT. Battle Strategies exist because the player has discovered ways to use certain moves together well and GF has no control over them at all.
2. Pikachu is a mascot. It has absolutely nothing to do with how good it does in battle. Pikachu being the mascot means he is the face of the franchise. The mascot could have been Unown but if it's marketable then it's a good mascot.

 

[Nyter]

I wouldn't mind Pikachu getting stronger... but the base stats are set. Light Ball needs to be put in Black and White...

The Ash's Pikachu giveaway was a really good one

 

[Dave Himura]

Dark/Electric.....Dragon/Rock.....Normal/Fighting XD.....etc

 

[Drat]

Millions of pikas, pikas for me. Millions of pikas, pikas for free...

Bad puns aside i thought it was cute. About as cheesy as the PokeRap.

 

[Emperor Empoleon]

As long as Pikachu is running around with Ash, and is adored by the target audience(among other fans) for how cute it is, I don't think it needs to be stronger in-game :B

And besides that it's an unevolved Pokemon. It's not supposed to be strong anyway. Even with that it can still manage against tougher Pokemon thanks to it's Light Ball.

Seem like they do give a darn about competitive play.

I'm sure they do care about competitions. That doesn't mean that it's the focus.

 

[pokemon player]

I...
Don't know what to say...
I liked it but err...
It was strange, that's for sure. Like four Pokemon were green and bright...
