The Pokémon Discussion Thread

I noticed there hasn't been a really popular thread about Pokemon recently (Except for "New Pokemon Game", which, IMO, isn't that good of a discussion point).

While the other was about a new game, this one is about showing off your active roster of Pokemon. This can be on any game (Which is good for those who still have their GameBoys), Just tell us the game, name, species, level, and moveset. Hopefully enough people will post to make this a decent thread (Where's Blurrz when you need him? I see Jasmine peeking out from his avatar).

I'll start off:

SoulSilver Version

#1: RHODES the MEGANIUM

Lv. 61

Magical Leaf
Body Slam
Aromatherapy
Frenzy Plant

#2: CIRRUS the LUGIA

Lv. 58

Hydro Pump
Fly
Extrasensory
Punishment

#3: BLICK the DITTO

Lv.47

Transform

#4: SALAZAR the shiny GYARADOS

Lv. 41

Hydro Pump
Aqua Tail
Surf
Waterfall

#5: BORIS the FERALIGATR

Lv. 36

Strength
Crunch
Surf
Hydro Cannon

You may also post any other game-related wins and losses, favorite catches, or your most liked Pokemon.

Until then!

I've only put any decent amount of time into one pokemon lately lol.

Porygon Z:

lvl 100
Nature: Modest
Move set:
Hyper Beam
Nasty Plot
Tri attack
Dark Plot

I EV trained the hell outta him, so it'll one hit an EV trained Blissey with the right combo. I ain't mad at that!! My only beef with it is that he has the Download ability, rather that the Adaptability. :-?

Once I have a full team rostered up I'll post them!

Any one have many shiny pokemon out there?

I regularly rotate all the members of my team, the only one who's always on there is Gardevoir... She gets all the attention and all the glory. :P (Ribbons!)

It's not a competitive moveset, I know, but Gardevoir really isn't built for competitive play anyway. She will be getting 'Psychic' back for Black and White though.

Gaze upon her glorious countenance.

Tekka, your Gardevoir has actually inspired me to give a hoot about contests and ribbons lol! Can't wait to get home and bust out the DS!!

Kukuku... Good luck! I can tell you now, it feels really rewarding when the achievements start to rack up, even if the mini games are painfully easy. The hardest part was getting the Pokéblocks to max out all her contest stats...

The battle frontier is brutal though! Those ribbons were really hard won...

You got raped, lol, and by all the popular OUs too... I can literally feel the sportsmanship being drained from the air around me as I watch the battle. :P

Well I did beat him the first time in killer fashion. This was the second battle, he knew my team already... and he decided to record. *facepalm* Oh well, I think he's one of those guys who don't train his Pokemon legitly.

How dare you to insult the thread I started in such a mean way???
:lol:

I'm just kidding...

Unfortunately, the last few months I'm working on my thesis diploma and I don't have enough to time to play SS...I hope when B/W comes out I'll be able to give it the time it will deserve..!
I saw some interesting teams in this thread but I won't give up battling with my favorite Dragons!

Another female getting all the attention??? This must make your girlfriend really mad..!

Mufufufu, not at all! <3 My love is boundless~.

Besides, we play together. <3 So, in a way, our trainers are always travelling together. <3

If you play Platinum you get a Porygon for free. Either that or you can use a program to predict Voltorb Flip..or just trade. :grin:

I'm a huge pokemon fan. I have been since 98. Transformers isn't the only thing I obsess over lol. I have an account on Serebii Forums of the same name I have here, if anyone has an account there. and yes my username is partially a reference to Tyranitar, my favorite pokemon.

Anyway I have a youtube account where I post pokemon videos if anyone is interested. http://www.youtube.com/user/Lucario42586 (feel free to friend me:) )

I'm currently replaying soul silver (bought a second game cause I didn't have the heart to restart my first). So I'll give my team from that.
Dragonite, Parasect, Stantler, Donphan, Arbok, and Shellder.

I did try to get started on the Serebii forums, but to be perfectly frank, I could not stomach the way people, and even moderators, behave on that board. It's painful to read... especially when it feels like everyone is trying to out c*nt each other. o_O;

It's really nothing like Seibertron at all... Which is weird to me because I would have thought a Pokémon board would be super friendly by virtue of being a Pokémon board...

Yeah, don't even start with that place. I prefer Bulbagarden Forums. Even then I don't bother with Pokemon Forums... It's a video game and If I really need any help I can just look at Bulbapedia. It's good for news too. I don't watch the cartoon so there's no point in joining in discussion there - and if I really really want to fight someone in Pokemon, then I'll go into their IRC Chat, but really I find the Pokemon community pretty dull..

You know a forum is trouble if 90% of the threads have been locked, within 2-3 posts even!



Anyway, my in-game team... never numbers more than 5 (#6 is always an HM 'mon) and usually breaks up/retires after the Elite Four.

Wow. I spent 4 hours to collect 10,000 coins and I finally got that stupid Porygon! I could've traded the ones I had from Diamond but that's no fun....

Yeah, as of late its been interesting. I've been in lurk mode there. Serebii is also being a bit of a ass with these supposed starter Evolutions that look super fake, but that's neither here nor there.

PLDH.net has a cool community, but Bulbagarden is cool too.

Hey! I'm working on getting a Feraligatr with help from my cousin. I got some Totodiles from his Feraligatr (I think he got emotional scars from being jacked up by my Ditto), And I think I might have a good candidate for Rhodes' partner.

Right now he's only level 21, but here he is:

BORIS the CROCONAW

Ice Fang
Bite
Water Gun
Surf

I've been mostly posting my thoughts in the new game thread...

Anyhow, my games(even FR and E) are to the point of erasing themselves now so I can't play them so much very enjoyably...
My favorites tend to be the Dinosaur-ish guys, too bad they usually get bad stats or terrible weaknesses...

I tend to have my own sort of...rules on the Pokemon universe, odd ones like Parasect still being...alive...
I guess it keeps me sane or something...

Did you know you could get one from Dragon's Den at Lv. 17? If you answer some questions from the old guy in the temple, the next time you visit him he'll give you a Dratini (If you answer them compassionately, it'll have the move Extremespeed). ;)

I started playing Pokémon Battle Revolution again, just for fun. I tried out a Steel/Rock themed team and things were going pretty well... I ripped through a lot of legendaries but the team still has more bases to cover. I'm looking forward to adding the new mole Pokémon from Gen5 to the team and seeing how it performs. The thing is probably going to be badass in a Sandstorm... If it's not already that is, its stats are pretty awesome on their own.

I wonder when work on the new 3D battling title will begin. Or if it already has...
