PokeChris123 July 16th, 2013 5:03 PM

Pokemon Crystal Version. More Pokemon, Locations, things to do, etc.

Pokemon BW or B2W2?

Adam Levine July 17th, 2013 2:24 AM

Black and White 2. I wish I had it.
Raikou or Cobalion?

Nolafus July 17th, 2013 3:07 AM

Cobalion for all those resistances.

Garbodor or Vanilluxe?

Blayze July 17th, 2013 1:43 PM

Garbodor - Anything is better than the icecream cone trio. Though I have to admit, Trubish is a cute/amusing one.


Trapinch or Dunsparce?

RoreyG July 17th, 2013 5:53 PM

Dunsparce. No one messes with the Tsuchinoko.

Dugtrio or Magneton?

Adam Levine July 18th, 2013 2:52 AM

Magneton...evolves into something awesome!
Poison or Burn?

Ckbruin July 18th, 2013 5:02 AM

Burn, halves Attack stat. Of course, unless it's on my Pokemon...then it makes me sad :L

Thief or Covet?

Adam Levine July 19th, 2013 1:23 AM

Thief, that awesome gimmick Kecleon learns it.
Abra or Lickitung?
Both are Gimmick Pokemon.

RoreyG July 19th, 2013 9:24 AM

Abra. I like Alakazam more than I do Lickilicky.

Hariyama or Medicham?

AmericanWonderland July 19th, 2013 1:27 PM

Medicham. I love me some psychic types.

Crobat or Staraptor?

RoreyG July 19th, 2013 1:32 PM

Crobat. I'm slightly more partial to Pokemon from the first two generations, it's legitimately cool, and it actually gives people a reason to use Zubat. That said, Staraptor is a BEAST!!!

Persian or Liepard?

Blayze July 19th, 2013 2:39 PM

Persian. I like its design better. Plus Giovanni has one. :)

Octillery or Sharpedo?

Adam Levine July 19th, 2013 7:34 PM

Sharpedo for its somehow unique ability.
Druddigon or Bouffalant?

Ckbruin July 20th, 2013 1:15 AM

Bouffalant. Although it's kinda like Tauros, I do enjoy Head Charge.

Sheer Force or Serene Grace?

Adam Levine July 20th, 2013 7:34 PM

Sheer Force, Serene Grace almost doesn't work for me.
Spiritomb or Mew?

RoreyG July 20th, 2013 8:58 PM

Mew, undoubtedly. It basically saved the franchise from an early extinction.

Kabutops or Armaldo?

PokeChris123 July 20th, 2013 9:53 PM

Kabutops. It's possibly my favorite fossil Pokemon.

Dragonite or Salamence?

Adam Levine July 21st, 2013 4:36 AM

Salamence. It's so epic.
Azurill or Pichu?

RoreyG July 21st, 2013 8:54 AM

Pichu, if only for Volt Tackle.

Ruby or Sapphire (Characters from the Pokemon Adventures Manga)?

Powerserge July 22nd, 2013 6:37 AM

Ruby, I guess.

Hail or Sandstorm?

greenking13 July 23rd, 2013 12:10 AM

Hail because there are quite a lot of pokemon who do not get hit by sandstorm, but can be hit by hail.

Normal games or hacked games?
(Ex. Pokemon Ruby Vs Pokemon Light Platinum)

Adam Levine July 23rd, 2013 1:56 AM

Normal Games, probably.
Mothim or Wormadam?

swift13 July 23rd, 2013 3:39 AM

Wormadam because no stealth rock weakness

Swirlix or Vanillite?

HSV15 July 23rd, 2013 4:44 AM

Vanillite - Ice types are awesome!

Lickilicky or Blissey?

Adam Levine July 23rd, 2013 4:54 AM

Finally! Someone else who likes Vanillite!
Blissey. Sorry Lickilicky.
Lickilicky: Aww... *walks away*
Moomoo Milk or Super Potion?

Ckbruin July 23rd, 2013 8:54 AM

Moomoo Milk, certainly. Heals more, plus it's cheaper.

Psyshock or Venoshock?

samiulrules July 23rd, 2013 6:03 PM

Physhock mew2 has it :D

Dialga or Palkia

RoreyG July 23rd, 2013 8:19 PM

Moo Moo Milk. It's cheap and cures twice as much HP as a Super Potion.

Ash or Ritchie (Anime)?

Shrew July 23rd, 2013 10:31 PM

Quote:

Dialga or Palkia

Dialga, because it's blue.

The color/appearance of shiny eevee or regular eevee? (Disregard rarity.)

moon July 24th, 2013 3:25 AM

Shiny Eevee! Look how cute http://pkmn.net/sprites/dp/maleshiny/133.png
A snow/silver colored Eevee is much less dull than a brown colored one. Brown Eevee is similar to Sentret, Zigzagoon and lots of other brown pokémon.

Johto or Sinnoh?

HSV15 July 24th, 2013 4:40 AM

Ach, don't make me choose!

But I'd have to say Sinnoh on this one. Johto was too small a map.

Oak or Rowan?

moon July 24th, 2013 4:54 AM

Haha, I like them both too. Johto has a bigger place in my heart for nostalgic reasons though ;)



Oak. I never liked Rowan much at all. He was just some kind of Oak-wannabe imo, haha. Makes sense that they were friends, sure, but still. I think they should have put an old lady as the Sinnoh professor instead!


Ice Beam or Blizzard?

swift13 July 24th, 2013 5:38 AM

Ice Beam (especially in Gen 5 i love the sound of it! yes im weird ok)

Sing or GrassWhistle?

moon July 24th, 2013 5:56 AM

Grasswhistle is cool and had a much less annoying battle animation imo.

Bulbasaur or Ivysaur?

PokeChris123 July 24th, 2013 7:08 AM

Ivysaur. It's evolved and stronger.

Blaziken or Infernape?

CalienteFire July 24th, 2013 4:06 PM

Blaziken, I like the design way better. Plus, Gen 3 FTW! :P

PokeNav ( Match Call ) or VS Seeker?

Zylas July 24th, 2013 4:47 PM

... I don't even think anyone ever uses those. But if I had to choose, I'd go with VS Seeker cuz its newer.

Pokemon X2 and Y2 or Pokemon Z?

RoreyG July 24th, 2013 5:07 PM

X2 and Y2. I find myself favoring sequels over revamped remakes.

Ash or Ritchie?

samiulrules July 24th, 2013 5:30 PM

Ritchie Ash is a Red ripoff

Ho-oh or Lugia

PokeChris123 July 24th, 2013 6:18 PM

Lugia. It's wings have fingers!!!

Jigglypuff or Clefairy?

Adam Levine July 25th, 2013 2:52 AM

Jigglypuff. High HP.
Tropius or Absol?

SoundDesperado July 25th, 2013 8:44 AM

Absol, because Tropius sucks.

Gardevoir or Gallade?

RoreyG July 25th, 2013 5:58 PM

Gallade. I like his aesthetics a lot.

N or Hugh?

swift13 July 26th, 2013 12:08 AM

N. hugh can go cry about his purrloin, n is way cooler and has a deeper story

volkner or flint

Adam Levine July 26th, 2013 2:42 AM

Flint, Fire-types rule, although Sinnoh has a few of them T^T
Carnivine or Tropius?

SoundDesperado July 26th, 2013 4:29 AM

Carnivine, because I dislike Tropius.

Dunsparce or Maractus?

Ckbruin July 26th, 2013 6:54 AM

Maractus. Dunsparce just seemed like a strange Pokemon to me...

Musketeer trio (Terrakion, Virizion, Cobalion) or Lake Guardian trio (Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit)?

RoreyG July 26th, 2013 8:35 AM

Musketeer Trio. I've never really been fond of the idea of "cute" Legendaries.

Sharpedo or Crawdaunt?

PokeChris123 July 26th, 2013 8:51 AM

Sharpedo. Looks scarier, seem fiercer and just a cooler Pokemon all around for me.

Ele Evolution (Elekid, Electabuzz and Electivire) or Mag Evolution (Magby, Magmar, Magmortar)?

Boilurn July 26th, 2013 9:15 AM

Mag Evolution, Magby in particular, as it keeps you warm during the long winter.

Hail or Thunder?

RoreyG July 26th, 2013 8:49 PM

Thunder, especially with my Compundeyes Galvantula, is deadly!!

Shiftry or Cacturne?

samiulrules July 27th, 2013 9:26 AM

Shiftry it's epic. Get hugged by a Cacturne and your pretty much dead

1st Gen starters v.s 5th Gen starters (New v.s Old since 6th gen isn't out yet)

RoreyG July 27th, 2013 6:48 PM

For me, 1st Gen starters. My favorite Pokemon family is the Charmander line and this is the first generation where I like all of the starters and their lines and have no problem using either of them (the only other generation I can say this about is 3rd Gen).

Tyranitar or Garchomp?

swift13 July 27th, 2013 7:32 PM

Garchomp. I dislike slow ass Pokemon.

Cryogonal or Beartic?

RoreyG July 27th, 2013 8:56 PM

Beartic, purely for aesthetics.

Ditto or Castform?

Adam Levine July 28th, 2013 2:28 AM

Castform, Two syllables. Awe-some.
Clamperl or Nincada?

Blayze July 28th, 2013 1:34 PM

Clamperl, just because. I've never used Nincada for anything.


Dragonite or Gyarados?

KorpiklaaniVodka July 28th, 2013 1:38 PM

Dragonite, because of Multiscale and a very powerful STAB Outrage, as well as ExtremeSpeed.

Tangrowth or Slowking?

Blayze July 28th, 2013 2:01 PM

Slowking, never l like Tangrowth. Plus Slowking can learn some decent Psychic moves.

Blastoise or Feraligatr?

RoreyG July 28th, 2013 3:09 PM

Feraligtr. After Charizard, it's the starter that's always pulled through for me.

Clefairy or Jigglypuff?

Adam Levine July 29th, 2013 5:04 AM

Like I said before, Jigglypuff.
Mold Breaker or Unaware?

alisaie July 29th, 2013 7:34 AM

Mold Breaker. Because why not.

Volt Absorb or Water Absorb?

Squirrel July 30th, 2013 2:54 AM

Volt Absorb - it makes some Pokémon into really incredible switch-in choices and Electric attacks are much easier to predict than Water.

Pokéathlon or Contests?

swift13 July 30th, 2013 3:58 AM

Pokeathlon i LOVED those

Healer or Regenerator

Ckbruin July 30th, 2013 8:23 PM

Haven't had much experience with either but I'm going to have to go with Regenerator.

Defeatist or Truant?

Wobbu July 30th, 2013 9:13 PM

Defeatist, as in I'd rather use an Archeops than a Slaking.
Confusion or attraction?

PokeChris123 July 31st, 2013 7:56 AM

Confusion, because it damages and has a chance of confusing the pokemon, which in my opinion is better than infatuation.

Razor Leaf or Slash?

KorpiklaaniVodka July 31st, 2013 8:05 AM

Slash because of a higher base power.

Flare Blitz or Head Smash?

chrisdawg14 July 31st, 2013 5:26 PM

Flare Blitz because its a fire move, got 100% accuracy, and is powerful. (although not as powerful as head smash) I LOVE FIRE!

Pokemon on GBA/GBC or DS/3DS?

Renegade July 31st, 2013 11:45 PM

Pokemon on DS/3DS because the games are superior to the GBA/GBC games in pretty much every way (except for nostalgia).

Drapion or Skuntank?

KorpiklaaniVodka August 1st, 2013 1:24 AM

Drapion because Skuntank is ugly. Also Drapion is a much better Pokemon overall.

Scizor or Ferrothorn?

Adam Levine August 1st, 2013 2:48 AM

Scizor, it's so awesome.
Exeggutor or Tropius?

Renegade August 1st, 2013 11:49 AM

Exeggutor I guess because I'm not a huge fan of flying-type Pokemon.

Vaporeon or Flareon?

RoreyG August 1st, 2013 12:12 PM

Vaporeon. Ridiculously high Special Attack and bulky as hell, sign me up.

Arcanine or Houndoom?

Blayze August 1st, 2013 12:22 PM

Houndoom. But then, I'm kind of biased towards it. I've got one named Pyretta.

Mew or Mewtwo?

RoreyG August 1st, 2013 12:26 PM

Mewtwo. I love the psychology of the character.

Swampert or Seismitoad?

PokeChris123 August 1st, 2013 12:51 PM

Swampert because it is a starter Pokemon, so it makes it a rare Pokemon.

Tornadus Therian Forme or Tornadus Incarnate Forme?

Shrew August 1st, 2013 2:08 PM

Tornadus Therian Forme. The Incarnate formes were all just copypaste of each other, and also, I like it when pokemon are based on animals.

Pokeathlon minigames, or Wi-Fi Plaza minigames?

Renegade August 1st, 2013 2:37 PM

Pokeathlon minigames, since I've never played a Wi-Fi Plaza minigame...

Kanto or Johto?

RoreyG August 1st, 2013 2:54 PM

Kanto. As much as I love Johto, I'll never forget the feeling of excitement I had on my first journey through the Pokemon world in the original Red Version.


Kanto's Eeveelutions (Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon) or Unova's Elemental Monkeys (Simisage, Simisear, Simipour)?

chrisdawg14 August 1st, 2013 3:03 PM

Eevee's Kanto evolutions. I didnt really like the elemental monkeys all that much tbh. And everybody loves Eevee. Also, Kanto was one of my favorite regions.

Gen VI Question: Chespin, Froakie, or Fennikin? (hopefully i got those names right)

RoreyG August 1st, 2013 4:23 PM

So far, Chespin or Fenniken. Froakie kind of gives me the creeps.

Since we're on the subject of starters:
Sceptile or Blaziken?

Quetzal August 1st, 2013 4:27 PM

Blaziken! One of my absolute faves!

Blue (Rival) or Silver (Rival)?

ShinyXander August 1st, 2013 4:33 PM

I was literally about to ask the same question! Too funny. I choose Silver. I don't know why but having a criminal as a rival was great. The way he develops as a trainer and whatnot.

Viridian Gym Leader: Giovanni or Blue?

Quetzal August 1st, 2013 4:34 PM

Blue! I loved that he had grown after his defeat in RBY, and Giovanni was so...evil! haha

Galvantula or Ariados, based only on aesthetics?

Renegade August 1st, 2013 5:54 PM

Ariados because it gives off more of a buggy feeling.

PokeCommunity's Pokemon hacks or official Pokemon games?

Darkrai666 August 2nd, 2013 8:10 AM

Pokemon Hacks Because I'm making one

Zubat or Bidoof?
Quote:

Im most probably going to get ninja'd

PokeChris123 August 2nd, 2013 5:10 PM

Zubat, it's more useful.

Bidoof for HM SLAVE or Zigzagoon for HM SLAVE?

dd409 August 2nd, 2013 6:15 PM

Zigzagoon, since it can get Pickup. Adds to the utility and all that.

Caterpie or Weedle?

Renegade August 2nd, 2013 8:34 PM

Caterpie because I like its evolutions more.

Battle Tower or Battle Factory (from Sinnoh's Battle Frontier)?

Ckbruin August 3rd, 2013 1:23 AM

I never tried the Battle Frontier in Pearl, but I have tried the Battle Factory in SoulSilver, so I'll have to go with that. (I think the Battle Frontier in Johto is the same as the one in Sinnoh?)

Battleground (Platinum), or Fighting Dojo (HG/SS)?

alisaie August 20th, 2013 2:13 PM

The Fighting Dojo I guess?? idk.

Miltank or Tauros.

Blayze August 20th, 2013 2:21 PM

Hmmm I gonna go with Miltank, because of her healing abilities.

Ponyta or Blitzle?

HearttheWolf August 20th, 2013 7:02 PM

Going with Blitzle here, because zebras are awesome. XD

Team Aqua/Magma or Team Galactic?

Shrew August 24th, 2013 12:18 AM

Aqua/Magma, because they were version exclusives of each other.

Team Rocket's Meowth or Wobbuffet?

Squirrel August 24th, 2013 6:29 PM

Wobbuffet! I can't stand Meowth's voice, it's just grating and annoying and ugh!

Plusle or Minun?

Ckbruin August 26th, 2013 7:01 PM

Minun. Blue is my favorite color. Next to orange, green, red...

Bugsy's Scyther or Lt. Surge's Raichu?

Magykx August 26th, 2013 7:25 PM

Lt. Surge's Raichu because it always slays my entire team the first time around I battle Lt. Surge.


Garchomp or Hydreigon?

Ckbruin August 26th, 2013 10:47 PM

Hydreigon. It's nice to have a Special Attack-oriented Dragon-type.*

*That isn't a legendary.
*With Kingdra possibly being an exception.


Manectric or Mightyena?

Wobbu August 28th, 2013 7:54 PM

Mightyena. It has a better design and has a better type. Manectric doesn't have much going for it IMO.

Expedition or Skyridge?
