Watch out for Ghosts...
Watch out for Ghosts... What's that noise... oh, sorry, hi. Let's chat. Say anything you want, anything at all, I like to talk about Pokémon... at least I think I do...? Let me tell you a story... Once upon a time there was a thread. This thread was a simple thread to chat about Pokémon in, just to chill back and have fun with friends, and we kept a counter going as we posted just to see how far we could get. Then they came... The more we spoke, the more things began to feel strange. People... changed, in that thread. One minute my friends would be acting completely normal, the next minute they'd change, they'd attack us, they'd scare us half to death. We began using the counter as a method of tracking their progress, trying to find the patterns they played by... We worked out that every time the counter hit 100, another of our friends would change into one of them. But when we reached 200... everything seemed ok again. Everything seemed cleansed. Other than the one unfortunate soul to still be counting... We only reached higher than that once, before the attacks came again - we thought we were in the clear, until I began to change myself. I'd hit 300. I started to twist, change... I never returned to how I used to be. I'm different, I'm changed. I scare myself sometimes, but I prefer to scare them instead... Sometimes I'll just shout "BOO!", and they all just have to start over again... Now that you know my story, come count with me... Becoming a Ghost
Ghosts & Their Powers Each Ghost will have a "status" under their name. Every time they "BOO," a heart (♥) will appear next to their status. A status of "..." means that they have not BOO-ed yet! Also, the number of times that each Ghost can still "BOO" will be individually listed with their status.
As the only Manipulator Ghost, I will be able to "BOO" whenever I see fit. However, I will only "BOO" strategically to keep the number of Ghosts under control. Rules

"Meyneth" http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/648.png BOOs Remaining: 3 Status: ... The Count Begins... Alright, now let us begin the conversation! 1. So... has anyone here ever completed the PokéDex? What is your opinion on completing the Dex? |
2 Pokedex completion {XD} thats funny i never get around to that not even for the shiny charm in BW
|
3 I'm too lazy to complete the dex, way too much effort.
|
4.
Yes I did complete the Pokedex in X. It took a lot of work (and trading) but it was a great feeling to receive the Diploma in X. Now 'Stephanie' (My X Character) has a completed Dex and the Shiny Charm. However completing the Dex was a lot of effort and I will almost certainly never do it again. :) |
5 - I'm working on my living dex challenge now! I am at least 80% done; I can't wait to finish it and show it off!
|
6 You guys are more patient then me xD

Thank you. :) The Shiny Charm does not seem to have any real difference on Shiny encounters. I have only two 'random' shinies (Flabebe, Gulpin) since I got it. It is said to be good for Horde Shiny Hunting however. |

The only random shiny I've ever caught was a Sunkern in HeartGold, which I evolved to a Sunflora! Other than that, all of my shinies are either traded or non-random (including a certain Gyarados). xD |
11 the thread just started and ninjad already, tradition I guess lol
12 Never completed it. 1. A bit lazy. 2. I am doing a marathon so I keep moving on to another Pokemon games since I had them ready for 2 years now. 3. I cant get legends, especially the event ones :/ Will try completing it in Soul Silver/Platinum/White. Later even the earlier versions. I was actually considering completing the Yellow one, since you can get any Pokemon including Mew, who I got already :D |
13 Wireless has made it easy to get legendaries for some, but not me! :D
|
14 I agree! The introduction of WiFi to main series Pokemon games was tremendous in bringing people together around the globe. I'm glad they contribute to improve it with each iteration.
|
14 15
I got all the legendaries and a good sum of shinies but for some reason it feels like it takes so loooooooooooooooooong to finish! Of coarse it might be simpler to finish the dex before the dex number gets above 800 |

I've got a complete living Dex so am working on a shiny living Dex. It's cool to have a project on the go! |
19 shiny living dex? Goddamit how can one do that? It is harder than finding the one piece!!! If you do it you are oficially god
|
20
I can't even remember the last time I used wireless connection in the games |

Hello there new thread |
25 Hey Hika!
|
26
hey mateys :D |
27 So, what's new in everyone's Pokemon world?
|
28
Nothing but thinking about #Pokemon20 |
29.
Whoa, it's pretty hard to believe that the Pokémon franchise has been staying strong for (approximately) 20 years! How much longer do you guys think the franchise will survive? :o |
30 Hopefully forever!
|
31 I'd like to see it continue more! There's endless possibilities.
|
32
Pokemon is love, Pokemon is life. |
33
Probably as long as Nintendo can make new consoles and even then itll probably outlast that |
34
I think they can, essentially, print money with the Pokemon franchise. We all joke about it, but it's true. As long as they stay the course they're on now, and don't make drastic changes to the series, I think they can potentially make Pokemon times for decades to come. That said, there will be a time where the dev team undergoes some serious changes, and it will be then where the big changes happen. How the series weathers those changes will reflect on how will it will persist in to the very future. |

Quote:
So if they DO continue making Pokémon games for the next several decades, do you guys think they will design a ton of new species for every single generation? Or do you think they will eventually stop making new species at a certain point, and still make games from what they have? |
36 I dunno really, They may run out of things to make pokemon based off so
|
37.
Quote:
|
38 That's true but I'd like to be like 60 playing pokemon
|
39 I think there'll be a trend starting with Gen 6 of not designing 100+ species per new generation. Gen 6 only had ~70, and I think this is something we're going to see going forward. That said, I'd like to see them hit 1000, at least, and never stop adding more.

What's the ideal maximum number of Pokémon that you guys would like to see? |
41.
1500. There is no way I'd try to go through and collect that many Pokemon. |
42 My ideal is actually 1000
|
43
1500 hmm sure is high |
44
Being totally surprised about what they do is also an option. |
45
Imagine if they were to reach 1000+ Pokemon... that would be awesome |
46 - I just hope that, at some point, they increase the number of boxes you can have in Bank. Eventually, all those Pokemon can fill it up fast!
|
47 Or make the bank free :P
|
48 - I would, actually, gladly pay for more boxes. No hesitation. $5 is extremely cheap as it is. $5 per 100 boxes seems nice. I'd probably get a lot because it's a once per year charge.
|
49
Bank is already a darn good deal. Paying to add more boxes doesn't seem that bad. I really hope they don't have up to 1500 Pokemon. There are already so many that I can't remember, and the more that's added, the more that there will be that I haven't played with. I mean, I played through Y twice, and used different Pokemon through each playthrough, and there are plenty of Kalos Pokemon that I haven't used. |
50 Nah it should be free, not everyone has money for such luxuries but wants to keep their pokemon safe
|
51 - The service has to be maintained though, and that costs money. I'd like to see some data to determine whether or not Bank is actually profitable. To be honest, I was expecting $5 a month. That price per year is a STEAL. Think about it. To cover 100 boxes of storage, you would need 4 game cartridges. (For some people, like me, that's not a problem. I have 6 Gen 6 cartridges.)
|
52
I just noticed i forgot to re subscribe to the new thread xD |
53 Nintendo is a multi billion dollar company and you're trying to say they can't at least give us an online service for free?
|
54.
I probably wouldn't trust its reliability if it were completely free, though, especially if the Pokémon are stored online. I'd rather have an app similar to Pokémon Box R/S (which was on the GameCube) for the 3DS where you can store all of your Pokémon offline without having to worry about subscription fees. It would be even better if we could actually choose between Pokémon Bank and that theoretical app I just mentioned, since people have different preferences and all. |

56 You have a good point there I'll agree. An offline solution would be good. Like a program u pay for once that u can install!
|
57 I wouldn't mind it even being a whole game, like My Pokemon Ranch where you can walk around with your Pokemon and see them in a huge open world. That would be awesome! Oh and then you can travel this huge landscape and interact with all of your Pokemon. You'd still be limited to 3000 per save, but still.
Oh and then you could go online and visit other people's worlds and do trades and stuff. Ok fine, I admit it, I just want a Pokemon mmo. |
58 Ok that's honestly the dream
|
59
pokemon mmo would be awesome :D |
60
Hooray I have been unghosted!!! Though when I saw the 'Closed' on the old thread, I was about to cry until I saw the post about the new thread. I really want a Pokemon MMO. However, it would be awesome if someone could create a Nerve Gear-like device from like Sword Art Online to make the MMO more realistic, but put barriers on how far someone could tweak the device [we don't want losing a battle= permadeath for the player in real life]. It should have a log off function after like an hour or two and the player cannot log back in for at least 30 minutes [so they can eat/do other stuff]. Trainers/players would start in a normal town [say Pallet Town] and have to achieve to be the very best. Nuzlocke rules of perma-Pokemon death is also included. Certain NPCs will still be present- Nurse Joy, the professor, Officer Jenny, gym leaders [initially], and some townspeople. Players can enter tournaments to become gym leaders later on [they have to also battle the previous gym leader for the position]. Players can also do other things like contests, Pokemon cooking [poffins/Pokeblocks], Pokemon healing [apprentice to Nurse Joy], joining an evil team [why not], forming trainer guilds, running a Pokemart, and other standard jobs that are needed. It is essentially meant to be a game that you can do as you please so long as you follow the morals [like no stealing, attacking another trainer, etc]. |
61
Those who want a Pokemon mmo should check out Pokemon Eternity. *flies away on a Giratina* |
62 I wish I could fly away on a giratina :<
|
63 - I wish I was a Giratina so people could fly away on me what...
|
64 Oh lmao, this conversation went places
|
65 - We're all going places, on a Giratina.
|
66 It's big so it can fit all of us :P
|
67
i want lugia so i'm the only one can ride xD |
68 but can it keep up with a Giratina? xD
|
69.
Probably not, but I bet a Lugia would be more fun to ride, like in the second Pokémon movie! Quote:
|
70 That's true, it'd go a bit fast for me xD
|
71 I wouldn't mind riding a Lugia. I wish the next game had more Pokemon that were able to soar!
|
72 Maybe next gen will be any flying type? I'd soar on a staraptor haha
|
73
Quote:
And no one can ride him cos Im the only Perma ghost with the permission, but you can dream! :D The MMO is going well, they're fixing some bugs now at decent speed. I did some maps but nothing this year yet. All in all, going well :) |

I always seem to dread the Distortion World or something. |
76 I thought the distortion world was neat and maybe it will come back in some form in the future!
|
77 I liked the distortion world! It was rather neat and challenging
|
78.
The Distortion World was indeed an awesome place, but... *sigh* My Platinum save file got erased shortly after I caught Giratina in the Distortion World, and I quit playing it ever since. :c |
79 Maybe was a glitch? Sorry that happened, I wouldn't want to face Cyrus again xD
|
80.
No worries, it's fine! If anything, that should give me a real reason to play Platinum again in the future, haha. (Plus it happened many, many years ago, so thankfully it's not a huge loss anymore!) |
81
Quote:
Hey what's your avatar all about? I kinda like it! I think maybe you should play Platinum again. I really, really liked Gen 4; it's one of my favorite gens! |
82.
I'm actually playing a new Platinum cartridge right now! Although I'm trapped with Mira in Wayward Cave.... 3XD Also I like how the game was done now, I can continue and get a chance to restart later! 8D |
83.
Quote:
Yup, now that I think about it, I honestly wouldn't mind re-playing it! I heard a lot of people saying that it's a bit more challenging than your typical Pokémon game, which is just what I need since I tend to overdo my level-grinding. :D Quote:
And glad you like the new rules! I'm still pretty much experimenting with them. ;) |
76
All aboard the Giratina train! Toot toot! |
85 Platinum definitely was more challenging than D/P, but I liked it. I remember doing a dark-type run in Pt, which was incredible!
|
86
Plat is one of my favourite games, and gen4 is one of my favourite gens. I like it mistly for nostalgia, but I liked some of the cross-gen evos, and I like how it was hard while still fun at the same time. |
87.
Not sure where the talk of Platinum being more challenging than the other games comes from. I don't recall it being any trickier than other games in the series. |
88 - What Pokemon did you guys use when playing Platinum?
|
89 Torterra here
|
90 Infernape for me!

92 - Oh I agree about Floatzel! I remember when I first encountered Buizel and I thought it was awesome.
|
93.
Yup! And Buizel is super adorable too! <3 |
94 So who will be the first ghost P:
|
95
Wait for it... Yes... I have used ALL the starters in Plat. |
96.
I had an Empoleon, Gardevoir, Roserade and Umbreon in my Platinum run. I had a few other team members but those were my main 4. |
97. I had a random Pokemon challenge for Plat and it was I think Bibarel, Staraptor, Mothim(which I really love now), Weavile, Steelix? I really dont remember all of them. QwQ I remember my Diamond team tho, Empoleon, Bibarel, Crobat, Floatzel, Rampardos, and Blissey.

|
98 - I typically don't put HM moves on team members. I am an advocate of the HM Slave.
|
99.
I actually like my team members to learn HMs, it kinda makes them feel special to me. Has anyone bought the Rumble World retail version? |
100.
I am no fan of HMs except Surf. I have never played Rumble World. I am now a Ghost. Can I have Misdreavus please Meadow? |
