It's this one. And I actually do wish all trainers were smart, or at least have a "hard" difficulty setting for the game. It sucks that the only time Pokemon is fun is when you're playing against high-ranking trainers or online.

I wouldn't even let my kid own a Pokemon until he knows everything about them. Including type advantages, the general speed, attacking, and defensive capabilities of each Pokemon, etc (to protect what would, in this case, be a real life form). Even then I probably wouldn't let them leave the...

I'd hate to play the Devil's advocate, but they really hit the nail on the head with the "same game over and over" thing. I mean, even Black and White, which was supposed to be hailed as a "restart" of the series, was essentially just "same ****, different Pokemon".

If Red wasn't challenging, why did you have to migrate a level 100 Pokemon just to beat him?

From personal experience, I am going to say beware the Lite, and if you ever have the choice, choose the original DS over it. Nintendo made the DS Lite out of cheap, crappy plastic, and many people have had problems with hinge cracks and screens going out. The hinge cracks start out as just...

And that's a crying shame, because Metagross's shiny form is, by far, the coolest looking Shiny in the entire series.

From what I've seen, high-ranking trainers (Leaders, E4, Champion, and Rival) all have better AI than other trainers, and will use the right moves. They will also have Pokemon with moves that are not necessarily learned naturally. In all generations, there is still a random chance that they...

Because, you know, it's not like Pokemon can level up or anything like that. That would be absurd!

First of all, Gary is an anime-only character. Blue is the name of the rival from RBY. And he's not cool and calm! The only two words you can use to describe Blue is "total" and "prick". And yes, Wally's condition is probably athsma.

Just get bored of it and quit. Really is no point getting a perfect Pokemon or completing the 'dex when you already can beat the most powerful opponent in the game. If I had access to Wifi, I might do some trading and battling, but that doesn't work because my DS is in half.

Gliscor without a doubt. It can take physicals hits WAAAY better than Weavile can and supports a more diverse movepool. Also, it is one of the top ten most cool-looking Pokemon of all time.

Flinging an Iron Ball for the win.

Just be glad that the Game Freak has more time to stabilize Black and White before it's released in America. That means you get better games than Japan does!

Have you ever played the original GSC? You need all the gym badges to get TO Mt. Silver anyway!

There is nobody who is "not skilled enough" to exp. grind to level 100, it just takes a long time. I'm perfectly fine with hacking to get level 100s because it only saves time. It's not like hacking Wonder Guard onto a Spiritomb or anything like that. I don't think the point of Pokemon is to...
