I want to start playing D/P but i need help
 
Im a long time player of GBY and even the metal games and i want to play the new ones.. i just need to know which is better and how i shuld get pokemon i want.. and whats strong for a newbie i guess u culd say..


THanks for ur help

Azonic March 2nd, 2008 4:47 PM

What do you mean by better? They're both equally good.

mcash7 March 2nd, 2008 4:52 PM

Go with Pearl nobody likes T-tar, Salamence is hawt. wish I had gotten Pearl

Chonlel48 March 2nd, 2008 5:00 PM

They're equal, If you can't decide and flipping a coin isn't a good enough idea to decide by, just research the version exclusives.

I went with Pearl because I did a lot of research, and found Palkia, the Pearl-only Legend, to better suit me, and the fact that I liked Version Exclusives better (Like you can get Bagon in the wild under special circumstances). If you have a Gen III game, you can just Import the version exclusives you don't have from that game. Wi-Fi Corner helps with the same thing as well.

Either research or flip a coin to decide between the two.

IMtheMACHAMP March 2nd, 2008 5:02 PM

well here is the thing.. i dont know anything bout the NEW ass pokemon soo pretty much like.. yeah im old school lol.. soo i need desperate help

Jessie March 2nd, 2008 5:12 PM

I don't understand what you're asking help for...? How to CATCH the Pokemon? Or which ones are good for training?

Nashton March 2nd, 2008 5:15 PM

i'm a big red blue and yellow lover too

but i did LOVE gold

but yeah go with pearl and enjoy =D

you'll learn about the new pokes as you play

trust me

Amp March 2nd, 2008 5:15 PM

Desperate help? Dude, this is Pokemon! Get out there and discover them yourself!

♣Gawain♣ March 2nd, 2008 5:16 PM

Well then, there's a lot of new pokemons there, cool and ugly. But mind you, Sinnoh's a big and confusing place. But you'll get used to it.

If you want info's about the new pokemons, go to Serebii.net

Absolutely right, that's how I manage my game. I just discovered Serebii.net 2 weeks ago.

IMtheMACHAMP March 2nd, 2008 5:18 PM

Well heres thing, i dont have a year to spend tryin to keep track of ABOut a million new lil bastards soooo im askin what is a good lineup or somtin for me to start with on this game.. dont tell me to disccover them myself... thats like telling helen keller to become college professer.. noone has that kind of time

BakingBluePotatoe March 2nd, 2008 5:19 PM

If you decide to come over to Sinnoh- DON'T GET LOST IN THE TENGAN MOUNTAINS! O_O

But seriously, just get what you want. and BTW:

Lucario is the bestest evar. don't deny it.

IMtheMACHAMP March 2nd, 2008 5:23 PM

all i know is i was sitting there one day wantin to play and saw this thing online and it showed me a FIRE MONKEY? who evolves into a " Fire/Fighting" Ape.. thats soo bad ass... ive always wanted to use a Muy Thai fighting monkey who SPITs fire

♣Gawain♣ March 2nd, 2008 5:25 PM

Just discover them yourself silly. Just how the first person playing Pokemon does. But just slowly.

And did'nt I tell you about the SITE!!!??? O_O

IMtheMACHAMP March 2nd, 2008 5:29 PM

yeah but its confusing... soo id rather stick to pokemon i know to start with.. all i kno is that i want the muy thai fire monkey

♣Gawain♣ March 2nd, 2008 5:32 PM

Not really a good choice, but if I were you I'll choose Piplup, It's both good in def. and attk.

IMtheMACHAMP March 2nd, 2008 5:40 PM

uu kno what i like ur advice but imma use the monkey bro.. he just looks bad ass and i bet he is bad ass n the game soo

Joycey98 March 2nd, 2008 5:42 PM

If this is your first time playing D&P, then you will want Chimchar for a starter and catch Starly and Shinx.

airconditioning March 2nd, 2008 5:43 PM

Dude, it's Pokemon, a game that was made for ten year olds (Don't deny it. It was.).

If you still need help, take a look at the Serebii Pokedex.

But really, you should be able to learn everything as you go along. That's what I did.

EDIT: Yeah, go with the fire monkey as the starter. He's definitely the strongest, and there's a distinct lack of fire types in the game.

ShadowofTime01 March 2nd, 2008 5:49 PM

Personally I like Pearl, and it all really comes down to personal preference. Same with the starter pokemon! I personally liked Piplup and his evolutions. Chimchar was my second favorite pokemon, and he's the best one to start with because the first two gyms are steel and grass if i remember correctly. Good luck with your decision. Which ever pokemon you chose, make sure you take care of it!

IMtheMACHAMP March 2nd, 2008 5:55 PM

i dont feel like lookin this up so what r the gyms in the pearl version?

Do you really need to know? Seriously, can't you just find out when you get to the gym ingame?

Oh well, I don't really care.

1: Rock
2: Grass
3: Fighting
4: Water
5: Ghost
6: Steel
7: Ice
8: Lightning

Jessie March 2nd, 2008 6:05 PM

Get a Shinx and raise it at the beginning of the game and evolve it. My Luxray was very helpful during the E4. Bidoofs make good HM slaves. xD And I caught a Starly and evolved it.

You're going to have a tough time with the first gym if you choose Chimchar ("the monkey"). Even though you want Chimchar, I'd go with Piplup. You can get a Chimchar shortly in to the game through trades.

IMtheMACHAMP March 2nd, 2008 6:10 PM

so ur sayin go with the pulpip or whatevrer.. sorry spelling.. and than trade for chimchar on like where.. wifi u mean?

Jessie March 2nd, 2008 6:14 PM

Heck, I can GIVE you a Chimchar. I have like...a box full. xD

But yes, I would go with Piplup as your starter. But different people have different opinions.

IMtheMACHAMP March 2nd, 2008 6:23 PM

ok well stay in touch and when i get game ill hit u up for it lol ok?
