Pokémon General Daily Chit-Chat. Join in.
|
I am Australian, so of course I'm not participating. Also, as an Australian, I feel extremely excluded. Gamefreak need to stop with their region-exclusive events and sweepstakes. :(
|
I wonder what the costs involved with doing things internationally is...I know for this there would be shipping and such, but what does it cost to work out wi-fi things? Idek. :(
|
Americans get all the luck. ):
Gah, I guess I'd have to wait a million years (well, five to six years at least) before I could even have a DS and either Pokemon Black or White... |
I wouldn't participate in it since I bought those two dolls from the Pokemon Center over the summer, ($32.00 each) I just bought a Red 3DS a couple of days ago, I already got both Pokemon Black and White and I dont like Pokemon cards; not point for me.
:t354:TG |
Dang that must've really put a dent in your pockets!
|
It deals with B/W, therefore I'm not interested. Ever since they came out and events for D/P/Pt stopped, I haven't been caring about Pokemon events. Don't care about the cards either, or plushies that aren't of Leaf from FR/LG. The 3DS is the only thing I might be interested in, but it's not worth me entering regardless.
|
At least you can join said contest. I'm stuck with nothing. ):
|
You could sell the stuff!
|
I'm Australian too so the sweepstakes have no value to me either. I agree with Pelipper, Nintendo does like to give everywhere something but us.
/no Dream Word Banette for us. |
I live somewhere close to Australia so I guess I have the same unfortunate fate. ):
|
I live in Southeast Asia, how could I even get the chance to participate!
Not really interested in any kind of pokemon events or event pokemon. Unless they decide to distribute leaf blade Shiftry or dragon rush Serperior, that'll be different story Man, If only Game Freak or Nintendo or anyone responsible make a deal with one of the toys/action figure and make a figure of human characters I would probably buy them all. |
I won't enter the sweepstakes, since I already have both versions and a 3DS and I have no interest in the rest of the merchandise, if anything I would just resell them. Maybe keep the 3DS as a back up.
|
I would enter for the hell of it if they had it here, I wouldn't expect to win or anything but still...

Anyways, enough with the sweepstakes talk. What are you thoughts on N's complete name? I say, its quite good...except for the Gropius part. ):
Oh, and there's a thread for this at B/W if you want to know more. |
When I saw the name I was thinking it was much to do about nothing. Now if this is the beginning of 3rd Game coverage and their just starting to trickle out with information then my interest is peaked. But as of now I could careless what his name is, I just want to see more development as a character and back story.
http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Junichi_Masuda_reveals_information_on_N I don't know how much there is to this either. I lawl'ed at N believing he was born from pokemon. Or the fact that if he could see the future then why was he defeated by the protagonist unless it was all part of the plan. |
I cannot read Gropius without
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/8b/Spr_5b_357.png coming to mind. |
^ me too.
But the fact that they said N was born from Pokemon parents means that he is possibly a Pokemon himself. Either a Ditto, a Mew, or a Zoroark! :o |
I suppose it may hint that Pokemon Grey isn't all too far, maybe this will lead to more information. I hope it's just not some random facts that won't link to anything. He could be a Smeargle...
|
Oh yeah a Smeargle too. I wonder how these changing appearances happens anyways.
|
Also, N's name origins are Greek! *dances*
Speaking of which, poor Greece. The only pokemon sweepstakes we will ever have here will be pedos trapping kids after luring them with 'get your victini here'. Sob. |
I guess its not unheard of for a Pokémon to look like a person... But it's still pretty weird. I don't like the name and I think it would have been better to keep us guessing. Or they could have released some hints to generate speculation about what the name might be without actually telling us. I feel like he has lost some of his mystery now.

I can just imagine N being a Zoroark and owning one as well. Who knows, it maybe that a Pokemon turned him into a human.
|
does anybody else like the music from the Pokemon Global link website?
|
^Sometimes, it hurt my ears. Seriously those music are quite annoying.

The sound is horrible D: I like the tracks in game though, sometimes I'm lame enough to play them through my speakers :3
|
I hardly ever use Global link anyway so it's not much of an issue. If if gets too grating, I can simply mute it and play something else over it.
|
Quote:
|
Well good thing I don't tinker with this PGL thingamajig. Else, I'd be saying the same "omg this song is horrible" complemented with a "good thing I can mute this". xD
|
The Dream World is pretty boring, it takes long to load sometimes, and is horribly repetitive, the only thing you're missing out on is any Pokemon/Items. Which can be got through trade anyway.
|
Quote:
|
Yeah I like the idea! It's not the most interestingly implemented, but the adventure online is a cool idea. :3
|
I haven't even bothered with the Dream World, considering what I haven't touched my game even before Dream World opened. v__v maybe I'll pick up my White again someday, but lately I've just not been in the mood for playing Pokemon.

The only thing I like is the Pokemon artwork. I have totally dropped Pokemon gaming until probably like when another game comes out. x3 |
Quote:
I got compared to N today... |
Black was pretty fun for a while but the entertainment is starting to run out. It feels like there's not much replay value left. I'm thinking about restarting Heartgold to get my Pokemon fix.
|
If you can't get much replay value from B/W, then I guess that means you don't just like the game. I can't stand playing HG/SS for even up to Goldenrod/Morty, so I guess there's not much replay value for me in that game either. :x
|
Quote:
I also play SS when I want to get my PokéFix, not only because of the easy one-handed playing, great graphics, awesome region, and fantastic music, but ALL of my Pokémon follow me. Isn't that simply the best feature GF has ever implemented into a Pokémon game? |
White didn't provide much replay value for me, either. It's too much of a chore trying to level grind, and there aren't really that many Pokemon I can choose from that I actually like. There's not much to do post-game, either.
Leaf Green and Pearl/Platinum are where I turn to if I want to play Pokemon again. |
I still find myself playing White at least once almost every day. Seems like it still holds replay value for me.

I'm going to ban you all for talking bad about Gen V. D:<
Although the last Pokemon games I seriously played were Ranger and Mystery Dungeon because I got them for my brithday. :3c |
I only played MDs Red and Sky.
Ranger? I had to borrow my cousin's. It was fun, actually. What's so bad about Gen V? I like it, even though some of the Pokemon weren't that original. I actually always freak out whenever i lose my charger, like, now. xD Dream World is nice for extra berries, and you can get Pokemon with moves they don't normally learn or abilities they don't normally have(even though they suck :( ) |
I've never bothered with the ranger series. The only lead I have about it is from the movie with the water temple... and it was a good movie.
|
I've actually never played any of the spin-off games like Ranger or Mystery Dungeon before. Are they any good? I've always been just about the main games but I'm curious.
|
I'm only a little bit into Mystery Dungeon but I really like Ranger! Plot's a little cheesy but I enjoy the "battling" system. :3 Have you never even played Pokemon Snap though?!
|
I like the ranger series, and mystery dungeon. The main games are the best for me though, the others I just play when I'm bored of levelling or something. The plots in pokemon are always... questionable... and the dialog stinks, but its a game, not a movie or a book, so I don't mind.
|
Quote:
|
Yeah it's on the virtual console for 10 bucks! I had it as a kid and then re-bought it when I got my Wii, lol. Beat in a day but soooo worth it.
|
My brother played Snap way back in the day... wasn't really my thing.
Neither are most of the other spinoffs... I always thought the concept for Mystery Dungeon was actually pretty stupid *please don't shoot me, lol*. I'm not a fan of "Pokemon without trainers" so the only spinoffs I liked were Colosseum and XD. |
Quote:
Spoiler:
|
Is it bad that I was bothered because I know the Meowth getting gusted by the Pidgey comes after the small bridge so I'm like "oh that's so unrealistic"? xDDD;
Sabre you seem to like, like...Leaf and hate everything else about Pokemon. D; |
Quote:
lol did that happen for Halloween, Pelipper Mail? I've played Snap and I can't even imagine myself imagining what you wrote up there. |
I actually like the Ranger series very much! Especially the latest one, Guardian Signs~ I've never tried Colosseum and XD as I don't have and wish to buy a GameCube just for those 2 games. Though from watching videos, I found the storyline quite interesting. I have always been a big big fan of PMD. I'm still waiting for the next PMD with BW pokemon. X3
@PelipperMail: OMG that's one MAJOR creepy story. Is it a creepypasta? T~T |
I enjoyed the Pokemon Ranger series a lot as well. The major problem with them is that they can ruin your DS's screen if you're not careful. The thing that annoyed me with Guardian Signs was that for part of the game, multiplayer was almost totally required, seeing as know one I know has it.
|
Quote:
I've played the first Ranger game, but like vaporeon said, it can ruin your touch screen and that's one of the reasons why I stopped playing them after seeing some changes to my screen. >: |
Pokemon Dash ruined my first DS's touch screen, too bad you could only play as Pikachu.
|
I loved the first two Ranger games, I managed to put quite a lot of time into both games, I was quite careful with them though - they/I never did anything to my DS's screen. I never got onto playing the third game though. I'm a busy boy.
|
Quote:
Wait, it's probably a bad thing that everyone I just named above is a bad guy, lol Eh, I've always found the trainers more interesting than the Pokemon themselves... which is why it frustrates me when the human characters in these games get little to no development. |
does anybody else agree that Delcatty's cry almost resembles an actual cat meow?
|
Quote:
But no, not a cat's. Anyway pokemon cries don't resemble their animal counterparts imo, in general. |
Delcatty's cry sounds just a bit more higher pitched than a cat, IMO. I've heard some cats with very low pitched meows, actually.
|
Actually, I thought that Skitty's cry was more like a kitten/small cat's cry~
And Purugly might resemble a low cat's cry~! |
I didn't bother to check which sounds more like a kitty or a dog. As long as they meow, its a cat sound! xD
|
Meowth really doesn't sound like a cat, though... IIRC it makes the same squeaky cry as Horsea does.
|
Wow, I can't even remember half the Pokemon cries. I tend to remember them at the time when I hear the sound itself. xD
Speaking of cries, I really do wonder how Pokemon can understand other Pokemon through their...name speaking. Cofa cofa co co cofa cofa COFAGRIGUS! xD |
Quote:
|
Well, I suppose. I'd go Zeffy zee zeff zeeffy? zeff zeff ZEFF ZEFFU!! if I would to ever talk like that. I guess Speech isn't much of a subject for Pokemon...
|
I think a lot of it is in the body language and tone of voice, so you get more of a gist of what they are saying rather than individual words (in the anime anyway)
|
But...even with their body movements I still can't get much of a gist. I'm dim at what they're trying to say. But I say, I'm looking forward for the future of Pokemon, where the Pokemon speaks human language and humans speak...Pokemon language. xD
|
Quote:
I believe they also convey their language by attacking like that Tangrowth in the anime, "ME WANT YOUR ENERGY. ME GIGA DRAIN YOU!" And what have we not in the games, Pokemon a-hopping out of grass~ c: Also do I see no point in Pokemon NPCs who just stand there forever repeating their name over and over again each time you talk to it? Like "Peeko!" xD |
I imagine the future games being a bit different if that'd happen. Like you were a different boy with telekinetic abilities which makes you able to talk and understand Pokemon language and discovered the truth about the language so you go on an epic journey to teach humans how they are supposed to speak. WITH THE POKEMON HELPING YOU HUZZAH!
|
But Pokemon can already understand humans, so why do humans need to change their speech? It's Pokemon that do :(
|
Perhaps Meowth should get Team Rocket some money by teaching human speech at a Pokemon school XD
|
Quote:
|
Apparently meowth cant learn pay day because of the effort he used learning to speak and walk like a human. Meowth is my favourite pokemon in the anime, much better than pikachu.
|
Quote:
|
did you know that there is enough Pokémon cries out there to make almost 10 minutes of audio? I used a program that combines multiple wav files into one. combined all the cries of all Pokémon to date... the result: 9 Minutes and 46 seconds!!!

I like to keep the anime and games separate because the anime is really annoying. And I'd much rather have my Meowth know Pay Day and be able to evolve; that move is an awesome moneymaker in game... I had enough money in Leaf Green to actually buy the coins needed for Ice Beam when I first got to Celadon.

Hah, all these talk about Meowth using Payday makes me want to play Pokemon FR again tbqh. ;~;
|
You guys sound as if the Pay Day mechanics were changed in the later generations. Were they? Because one way or another I never used it or seen it in my HG and W.
|
Quote:
There were changes in the amount of money you received due to items though. |
Actually the dollar amount for Pay Day was 2x (level) for Gen I and II and 5x (level) for Gen III and after. And this does come from Bulbapedia.
|
Quote:
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/ee/Pay_Day.png Whenever after battle it described the player picking up the money, I always imagine some clumsy idiot bending over and picking hundreds of coins off the floor one at a time as if playing 52 Pickup. xD |
So it was actually buffed? That's a good thing.
Also lol, first time I see the Gen V Pay Day animation. Awesome. |
Quote:
They could do this with lots of weak gimmicky moves because gimmicky = awesome but weak = not awesome. :c And yes, it is a super super super awesome animation. :3 |
Quote:
Bulbapedia is just so helpful. :D |
*people
People made bulbapedia therefore it is the people who made it who are helpful! :3 |
I seriously think I visit bulbapedia more than facebook. I use it for everything from looking at movesets and natures to just reading about the anime characters. It is probably the best pokemon website ever
|
Quote:
But when I get the hang of it, I sort of memorized important moves that most Pokemon should know in certain situations. Though I still use it for the occasional check for anime stuff, but that rarely happens, if at all. |
