4th Gen Are you actually going to use the Spikey-Ear Pichu in HG/SS?

[SageRaziel]

I am looking forward to getting my Spikey-Eared Pichu in Soul Silver, but honestly odds are it'll end up in my PC. I mean it can't be traded, so there is little use leveling it up because I can't trade to the next generation when it comes out. It can't evolve, so it's stats will be low for it's level. It's a neat idea, but in the end what exactly is the purpose of Spikey-Eared Pichu? Is it nothing more than a trophy; Something to have simply to say that you have it? I'm looking forward to seeing some other views on this.

Hmm good point. It'll be covered i dust by the time it comes out of my japenese HG's PC.

 

[Weird]

It will rest in peace in my PC :bandit:

It is unusable, because of its low stats

 

[davidthefat]

Can it mate to make super pichu or something?

A) How do you get it?

B) If contests exists, I'll use it there because it will be adorable.

 

[GlitchCity]

nope, it's going to be one of my trophy pokemon :]

To answer your question of how to get it, here in the next few months Nintendo is going to give out a Pikachu colored Pichu in Pokemon Platinum. To get this Pichu you need to connect to Wi-Fi between the dates of the event and download the wonder card. Then when HG/SS comes out buy one of them. Transfer the Pikachu colored Pichu over from Platinum and it will unlock a mini-story involving the Spikey-Eared Pichu.

I dont think I am because its just a spiky-eared pichu and is not that special.

I remember when I was playing Shiny Gold, I met a trainer who really inspired me. S/he was somewhere through the middle of the game (around Lake O' Rage, I think), when that person said, "Truly skilled trainers should win with their favorites...". Spiky Pichu would be considerably weak, but it looks awesome and I would like to beat the E4 with it. That is, of course, if I get the game.

To paraphrase Karen of the G/S/C Elite 4, "It doesn't matter how strong your Pokemon are, real Trainers win with their favorites."

I plan on making the Notch-Eared Pichu my first Lv.100 in HG/SS. Also, think about this: Why would they make a unique Pichu whom cannot be traded or evolved if it isn't more powerful than your average Pichu? Just like Pikachu from Yellow Version, the Notch-Eared Pichu may be stronger than other Pichu.

 

[BHwolfgang]

Even if its adorable, the stats are too low for me to use the Spiky-eared Pichu in battle, or competitive battling. Sorry.

 

[BeachBoy]

Going to throw this thread over to the HG/SS forum, since it fits.

Moved~

And yeah, I will use it on my team if I can.

 

[Amore]

I'll use it to battle Suicune.Lol, i can't stand Pichus, although Pikachu is worse. But, i like PCP, and i like this one.I'll use them as legend killers

 

[*Meowth V.2*]

Nah.

I would like to get it but won't really use it.

 

[Ellie]

I might, it depends. I think it's kind of a cool novelty thing and I've often used unevolved Pokemon on my teams because I like them better. It probably depends on what my other team members are and how far along I am in the game when I get it.

 

[Esmas]

I would use it occasionally. Actually, it would probably be my number one Pokémon in my party.
But what I do is try to get two, let one stay untouched and train one to Lvl. 100.

 

[AliceBlaze]

I might train it to level 100 and use it to fight the elite four and maybe even Red.

 

[Amore]

Good idea.Use it against Red's Pikachu.

 

[Crystal-Heart]

I'll get it and use it. I already love Pichu and this Pichu is just too adorable. I just hope that I can get the Shiny Pichu in order to get it.
If I can't get the Shiny Pichu, I hope someone will lend me theirs to do the event.

I don't care about its strength and I'd likely keep it in my SoulSilver since I'm sure it'll stay my favorite game. For all we know, Nintendo will create a way to transfer it to the next generation's games, like how you didn't need to trade the Pokemon from Gen. III to Gen. IV. Thus I'm sure there will be a way to send it to future generations.

 

[Yuoaman]

Probably not. It, and the Pikachu-colored Pichu, will probably just remain in my PC as trophies. :P
