Sounds good to me! What you described is the primary reason I've avoided the competitive battling scene. I don't want to get owned just because my team isn't a clone of the next one. But how would we decide what pokemon qualify for our use? Smogon tiers? Oh, I just noticed you mentioned tiers...

My favorite part of Pokemon is finding Pokemon that I like (either the design, the concept, or my take on what its personality would be like), regardless of their competitive viability, and doing the best that I can with them. In fact, I tend to be repulsed by over-usage. That being said, I...

Who would make a good Yoda? I'm thinking something small, speedy, awesome, and preferably green. ... I'm coming up blank.

Fffffff god I hate update notifications. I almost always ignore them, and I hate when they don't give you a "shut up forever" box, but just a "remind me later" button. Then every once in a blue moon I go through and update everything manually. I like automatic updates as long as they only...

So, OR/AS have made me hyper-aware of my age suddenly. I'm only 25, but remakes of R/S/E are already coming out? I'm still getting used to their introduction of natures! Ok, well, that might be an exaggeration. Still, I've never really felt old until now.

In my first game I chose green because it's more my color, but then after about 500 hours of biking back and forth past the day care hatching eggs, I couldn't stand the site of that green bike anymore. So I changed it up with yellow this game.

Yeah it's pretty great. One image of it is of ponies playing poker. Rainbow Dash is owning it. Glad you like it. :3 I was starting to make a typical team signature with the six portraits of pokemon, then I realized this would be more accurate, since realistically, my team almost always consists...

I like Wally, he's a well developed character as far as pokemon games go, and you just get the feeling he and his Ralts are very close. He's also pretty different than the typical overconfident, fiery kids that are typical main characters of pokemon stories.

Thanks! I was going to make one of those typical team signatures, but then I realized 99% of the time my "team" is five eggs and a flame body hatching slave. XD

Oh, I meant the plot hole would be if they did include mega evolutions in OR/AS but the games were set before X/Y chronologically, since megas were supposed to be a new discovery in X/Y's time.

I find it interesting how many people are choosing based on sentimentality. I played Sapphire in the past, but that holds no weight with me. My choice will be based on version-exclusives--pokemon, megastones, and features.

I'm pretty convinced OR/AS will be a decade or so in the future from R/S/E in order to include mega evolutions without leaving a gaping plot hole. In that amount of time, anything could have changed in Hoenn, including new bad guy teams called Alpha and Omega. Though that would be a bit...

I was just sneaking on for a moment at work to see what's going on, and saw the new forum here. My eyes bugged out and now I can't focus on work.

They had better be compatible with Bank.

Actually, Groudon and Kyogre on the boxart don't look like their regular forms to me, which suggests a sequel with a new story. The press release also claimed the new games will feature "a spectacular new world." I'd feel let down if they're really just pure remakes after a claim like that.
