Congrats everyone! :) Been super busy with work so I haven't been able to log on lately, but it's good to see how the contest turned out.

Heck yeah! :D My Scyther (soon to be Scizor after I get a few things figured out) is a Technician and he'll be learning Bullet Punch once I get to that point. Even as a Scyther, it's amazing to see what he can do. It's a shame that Silver Wind is a Special Attack (and only 5 PPs I think -...

Thanks! :) Starmie packs a punch as long as it can get out there and do what it needs to do. I'll need to figure out who else to build a team with. I've been meaning to train a Technician Meowth into a Technician Persian (with Pay Day, I won't be able to resist!) to see what sort of results...

I'll definitely give it a shot. :) I've tried out Starmie, actually, in terms of the overly one stat vs the other and have achieved some interesting results from it. Once I get this last batch of Pokemon trained, I'll build up another team and see how that goes. About the guy in the...

Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this strange issue. I've tried everything I could think of to try and change the order including rearranging my viewing order of the Wonder Cards before downloading a new Card... but no deal. Weird! @ Sydian: Thanks for the reminder; I'll keep...

No Lax or Gentle for me, either, as I really dislike how it +Defense -Defense in favor of or against Special Defense.

Okay, so Dragon types aren't usually readily available when you start out a game brand new (I'm thinking as a Trainer who's already passed the Elite and not as a new Trainer - whoops!), but yeah. Common in the sense that 'everyone has them' is more of my thought rather than actually...

I figured that since I already have a Snorlax, I don't need to have another Snorlax, especially since my Snorlax has Thick Fat and my Munchlax has Pick Up, which he would get to keep if he stays a Muncher. Also, I concluded that I wouldn't delete his Self Destruct (or was it Explosion?) egg...

I picked up SoulSilver before I picked up Pearl (SoulSilver is my first real exposure to Pokemon gaming as I never got to own a handheld when I was younger) and I recently learned of the Honey Trees and the 1% encounter rate with the 4 exclusive trees thing. It... scares me. LOL I picked up...

I just tested that and set my Pikachu Wonder Card to be the last one I viewed, but I still get the Celebi instead. This is just boggling me.

I definitely like watching Pokemon grow. Even watching my Sentret become a Furret was awesome because I got to see how she literally changed over the time that I spent with her. I still enjoy watching the Legendaries grow (I'm training a Mew right now, for example) though you're right; it's...

Actually, this question/topic involves not just Pearl but also SoulSilver and HeartGold which is why I put it here. Only people who have both HG/SS and Diamond/Platinum/Pearl would be able to answer the question?

Lugia's like a great wall, seriously, with all of that defense and HP going for him. I caught him with really good IVs (soft reset who knows how many times) and EV trained him and everything and he's constantly with me and my team, but he's actually never participated in any of the Gym Battles...

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like it; I'm really happy with how it turned out, too, as Lugia is one of my favorites (and I'm playing SoulSilver, too). :)

Here's a maybe weird question. Does anyone notice how, if you have 2 or more Mystery Gifts on their Generation IV DS games, that the order of pick-up of these gifts changes between games? What I mean is, let's say I have a Pikachu and Celebi waiting to be picked up on my SoulSilver game and on...
