Pokémon Chit-Chat
 
Well, we're going to start anew with the Pokemon Chit-Chat thread. ^^ Here, you can talk about anything Pokemon-related. Please abide by The PokeCommunity Rules as well as the Pokemon General Rules. Let's keep the conversations clean everyone - commence with the Pokechatting~! X3

Hmmm, let's get a new topic going.

How many of you like Nintendo adding a lot of baby pokemon this time around for the 4th generation.

>> Second post. Woohoo.

aragornbird April 9th, 2006 1:45 PM

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Coolness, a new Pokemon CC?

Anyways, I have to say that Nintendo should stop making new baby Pokemon. A lot of the Pokemon need Evolutions, not Preevolutions. Mantine, Sudowoodo, Mr. Mime – they’re rather weak compared to other Pokemon. If they got evolutions, more people would use them since they’ll be stronger. Preevolutions don’t help. Unless, the babies learned some cool attack that the parents can’t learn. Calm Mind Mantine, anyone? But this is unlikely.

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

pokejungle April 9th, 2006 1:50 PM

Some baby pokemon get extra moves ;x

Anyways, I hate them. Evolutions of current pokemon rock, baby pokemon don't. They're just useless...way too cute...and useless.

*eStabs them all*

Sylphiel April 9th, 2006 1:51 PM

I actually don't really like any of the new baby pokemon (or most baby pokemon in general, really. I'm just not fond of most of the designs), so I dislike the fact that we've gotten a bunch of new babies. I'd rather have more evolutions, if nothing else. x.x I have no use for babies other than to get them into my pokedex.

pokejungle April 9th, 2006 2:02 PM

Tamanta <3

That's the only good one.

Agreed. Even digging back further with the baby Pokemon that have been introduced in GSC and RS, it feels a bit pointless. I mean, sure, it was cute for a little while after GSC was released, but slowly, I think it got old. That and it just feels like it's an attempt by Game Freak to get some player interest in Pokemon that many of us, quite frankly, don't care about to begin with. Seriously, by a show of hands, who really remembered Mantine existed before Tamanta came out?

As for the moves, I just don't see why they can't just add on moves to the movepools of Pokemon, rather than create baby Pokemon that can pass those moves on, if that makes any sense. After all, it's not like movepools have never been changed before, what with the constant altering of what level a Pokemon is at when it learns a certain move. (For example: Vulpix with Fire Spin.)

So, let's see. What are we up to by now? Four baby Pokemon so far, bringing the number at roughly half of all of the revealed Pokemon thus far?

All I have to say, then, is the next revealed Pokemon had better be a brand-new one and not a baby, or I'll have to sacrifice a Pichu to Ho-oh.

pokejungle April 9th, 2006 5:11 PM

Mantine isn't bad in the meta game, besides having a double weakness to electric =/ But so did gyrados.

aragornbird April 9th, 2006 5:19 PM

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

But Mantine has a bad movepool while Gyarados could learn a ton of moves. And compared to all the better Water types out there, Mantine just doesn’t cut it.

I also fear a baby Skarmory, since Skarm is Mantine’s counterpart.

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

pokejungle April 9th, 2006 5:28 PM

Oh, I thought mantine was a decent pokemon =/

All the cool looking ones end up sucking. Araidos = <3 yet it sucks.

aragornbird April 9th, 2006 5:32 PM

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Totally. And Murkrow and Farfetch’d are awesome birds, but they got gypped. =\

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

pokejungle April 9th, 2006 5:35 PM

I'd really like Diamond and Pearl to switch up the worth of a lot of pokemon. Maybe put the limelight on some of the more obscure ones, while taking usefulness away from the usual pokemon?

Naminé April 9th, 2006 6:14 PM

Baby Pokemon is cute though... make them for the cuteness. Don't you just want to have a plushie of baby Mantine?

Merchandise of baby pokemon may make good profits with girls, but I don't want useless pokemon.

And cute doesn't cut it with me.

True. Cute does not make it worth putting in the game. I wouldn't really mind having some baby Pokemon around, but evolutions would be much better. The only baby Pokemon I found actually useful was Tyrogue, since then you can get all the Hitmons.

pokejungle April 9th, 2006 6:42 PM

Some kid told me pokemon was g-a-y on my MySpace. [I have my picture in a Pokemon card]

And I was like "blah to you =P"

But the fact is, the game is completely appropriate for teens.

Iron Mankey April 9th, 2006 6:43 PM

Then let us broil that kid with Charizards.

Not really too fitting though... the plot is beyond terrible. I know that Pokemon game doesn't really focus on the concept of "plot" so much, but seeing how they tried with Team Magma/Team Aqua and the gamecube games, it's safe to say that Pokemon and "good plot" are not fitting with each other.

Compare true "teen games" like Kingdom Heart series... I think it's rather obvious what's wrong with Pokemon and why it's a kids' game, and it merits the title of "kids' game" rightfully so.

Based on personal observation, it was still fairly forgotten compared to other Pokemon, especially -- for one reason or another -- Milotic. (Which is kinda funny because Mantine actually has better stats for its purpose than Milotic anyway.) In fact, I haven't seen a team involving Mantine for quite awhile. Maybe it's just been the server and boards I've been visiting.

Plotwise, I couldn’t care less. What older players like about Pokemon is the battling (especially competitive battling). There’s so much involved in battling that little kids can’t grasp, like the element of prediction, team roles, and all the invisible stats involved like EVs, IVs, damage calculations etc.

I agree with Birdy on this one. In fact, I think the games were actually directed a little more towards older kids because of the strategic value, whereas the anime and movies were made more with younger kids in mind. Of course either age group could be involved in the games and the series of they want, I'm just saying~ 8D

In my opinion, the Pokémon games are suitable for people of all ages. Just playing through the game can be more than a challenge to those who don't know anything about EVs, IVs, movesets etc, while for those who do, the games rarely prove to be a challenge. Playing the game through like this is really no problem once you get the hang of EVs, movesets etc. And that's why we have competitive battling, where you can match up with someone of your skill level (I had no such luck untill very recently though. I have a couple of friends who used to play Pokémon, but they were both completely horrible. I remember my friend bragging with his Gyarados with Thunder, Fire Blast, Blizzard and Hyper Beam x_x Good thing I now have my brother to compete with).

The games can atleast prove to be somehow challenging for anyone as long as you use the right Pokémon though. Let's say you have a fully EV trained team with a perfect team set up, the best movesets and the strongest OU Pokémon (even though many UUs, like Cradily, for example, can easily defeat many standard OU Pokémon.) and you're a player who knows how to use them. The games won't be much of a challenge now, will they? But let's start a new game and make a team with the Pokémon Mantine, Murkrow, Wigglytuff and equally unerdused Pokémon (I'm not saying any of these would be bad Pokémon if used correctly. Most Pokémon with atleast decent movepools can be surprisingly useful. How often do you see a Sharpedo, for example? I thought so, but it's still a perfect CBer and Heracross counter, it easily ohKOs Heracross with Hidden Power flying, and even if it was an endure/reversal Heracross Sharpedo's Rough Skin would take care of it). This would prove to be at least slightly more challenging, nay? It's all about wether you want it to be challenging or wether you just want to kick every trainer's butt efortlessly.

I agree, people will enjoy the Game both ways, Even though Challenging, young children would enjoy it, And when learning new things about battling, Movesets etc.. Older players will also enjoy the game.

So either ways, The games are for everyone xD

Lt. Surge's Raichu April 10th, 2006 12:40 PM

Here's a question. How do you get all pokemon on leafgreen? How do i link them over from the other games. I don't understand how:s This are bothering me....

pokejungle April 10th, 2006 1:03 PM

You just use the wireless adapter to trade between FireRed and Emerald, and the link cable for Ruby/Sapphire...

Not too difficult :<

I'm pretty sure that you trade between R/S and G/S/C, then you can trade between R/S and FR/LG. I could be totally wrong though, as I've never done it myself. XD

Nope, it's only compatible with the GBA version games.

So nice to hand out advice then ;P

The GB and GBC games were compatible, the hardware was similiar enought. But not between the GB/GBC and the GBA.

Pearl and Diamond will most likely be compatible with the Advance generation though.

pokejungle April 10th, 2006 2:08 PM

Not through wireless o_o;;

I'm thinking through the DS's GBA slot. Like how Pokemon Dash got the custom tracks. The DS's LAN is different than the wireless adapter for the GBA.

Hi aragornbird=) I think it should been possible to link from silver/gold/crystal with lg and fr. I can't get all pokemon cuase i don't have emerald, that sucks

blissful_nature April 11th, 2006 2:46 PM

Same here Paul. I can't wait until Pokemon Diamond/Pearl comes out (with its wi-fi feautures and all)! Been waiting for months (ever since July2005).

Out of those Pokemon, my favorite is Manafi so far--and extremely close behind is Manene.

I know what you mean. I kind of figured that they will make that a Pokemon in the GSC series of Pokemon. But no they made a stupid pre evo of Pichu, Cleffa, Magby, Elekid, Igglybuff, and Smoochum and they should of done the baby Kangaskhan first.

Naminé April 13th, 2006 9:36 AM

Cuteness in Pokemon brings out the innocense and cheerful nature of the Pokemon series, which is probably their best selling point. Even the 'aggressive' Pokemon like Tyranitar aren't all that aggressive looking, so it's the right thing to do to push towards that direction. It's one of the more distinctive nature for Pokemon in comparison to other similar monster games.

All the cuteness and happy-happy traits of the Pokemon World makes me forget the cruelity of the real world, which is why Pokemon is so appealing.

Kalylia April 13th, 2006 3:03 PM

NOt only that, but they make you want to keep them as pets. In a lot of "moster based" games, the monsters are just things to be used to win. In Pokemon, they're friends. That was what really attracted me. I didn't used to have a whole lot of friends, heck, I still don't outside this place, and watching the anime showed me that Pokemon were the best friends you could ask for.

There's just something about a cute Pokemon that draws you to it. It smiles and you melt. *giggles* Like Mew and Raichu, my two personal favorites. Loving, kind, and loyal to the end, they also have fluff to squish and huggle!

Kotowari April 15th, 2006 5:51 AM

Most of the Pokemon are quite cute.
In Pokemon 4Ever the celebi eating the berries is very cute. It makes me smile every time I watch the movie.
But I don't wanna meet a Gyarados in a very dark night.

What are your favo Pokemon Movies?
Mine are Pokemon 2000: the Power of One, Pokemon 4Ever, Pokemon Heroes and Jirachi Wishmaker

Emma April 15th, 2006 6:01 AM

I like all of them but out of them all i prefer Pokemon 4ever.

1) lol how did Ash know about Minnesota when he made the joke about the vikings
2) They called Scyther Alakazam when it went through the cloning machine, probably just a translation error but still it annoyed me as a pkmn fanatic.
But 2000 with Lugia made me stick with Pokemon, and the battles with Molly in the 3rd movie had great music you could battle to.
I didn't see Wishmaker, is it worth buying?

I used to have it, but lost it when my comp reformatted. Noww I want it back again...

And do animals exist in the Pokemon world?

How does Meowth know what fried Chicken is?
And how come Ash could make that joke about Caterpie being called Cowderpie, and he was dressed in a cow costume?

Toadsworth April 19th, 2006 10:37 AM

I think other animals don't exist in pokémon, I never heard of a bird flying and it was no Pidgey, and otherwise it should have been said in episodes!

...

Lol, I defeated the league on Sapphire 110 Times :D:D:D:D:D

~YES I AM VERY PROUD ON IT~

animelover120 April 20th, 2006 3:05 PM

Yeah, it is kind of wierd. I mean, you see the characters eating meat in a restaurant or whatever. It should've come from a milktank, grumpig, or any other "farm animal" or fowl. On the other hand, most characters protest quite emotionally when a "farm/fowl pokemon" is about to die or get seriously injured.
Furthermore, the pokedex says animal names, like "Mudkip, the mudfish pokemon." Plus, animals are mentioned quite often in the series. ( i.e. bird pokemon, boss cat, etc.)

Takuya April 20th, 2006 10:34 PM

I wonder if when they make a new season of the Anime that they'll include animals in there too?

brotlov April 20th, 2006 10:44 PM

I was watching an Episode of Pokemon and Ash said this: "Umm, this fried Chicken is great".
So maybe animals do exist in Pokemon, but you never get to see them.

And they've eaten hamburgers before.

Maybe it was a tauros in that case though...

Yeah.... I've always found it weird that they are no animals in there world, yet thats what all the Pokemon are based on.

Kinda this this...

Pokedex:
"Meowth: The Cat-Type Pokemon.... ect ect."
Ash: "Whats a....Cat?"
Misty: "....I dunno...."

And do animals exist in the Pokemon world?

How does Meowth know what fried Chicken is?
And how come Ash could make that joke about Caterpie being called Cowderpie, and he was dressed in a cow costume?

One of the many weird parts of Pokemon... ^^;

o__o Chiisaki Mono...
I have that song.
I can send it to you. ^^

I love it.

At one point I obsessed over it and listened to it over and over....

I memorized it in one day.... x___x

Anyways, that pokedex example was awesome X3;

I had been thinking about that also... Well, actually there are fishes and probably some bugs or sth in Pokemon... About the other animals... dunno... But if you think about it this could be like we having types of dogs like Chiuauah etc. Well, probably...

pokejungle April 22nd, 2006 7:42 AM

XD

Here's a Golden Poochyena, a Brown Lab Poochyena, etc etc.

Naminé April 22nd, 2006 3:06 PM

Naminé vaguely recalls how she has seen normal fishies in the St. Anne episode, when Ash said "fish swimming?" Naminé also remembers how Ash's Pidgeotto first appeared to swoop down to eat an ordinary earthworm.

Perhaps, normal animal names to us are only a type of classification for Pokemon. "Dogs" are Growlithes, Arcanines, Poochyena, Mightyena, and so on. That is the best what Naminé can think of in order to explain it, and she doubts that her reasoning made sense to the others here~

Volkner's Apprentice April 22nd, 2006 3:09 PM

^--- I agree with her. XD I own the St. Anne episode on VHS and I got it out to look the other day. It was clear Ash saw regular fish swimming outside the window when they were capsized. As for the earthworm thing, I remember that, can't prove it but yeah. And the birds that flew out of the trees were just..like crows. They weren't pokemon, and it was close up so you could tell..I think..=/

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ April 22nd, 2006 3:28 PM

I really do feel sorry for those Pokemon that get eaten. Especially the ones that live in the while
I have 2 questions:
Does Mantine eat the Remoraid on them?
Why are they always on Mantine's from

:t003:Dark Venusaur

Naminé April 22nd, 2006 3:57 PM

Naminé knows that Remoraids do not get eaten by Mantine. Mantine is designed after a sting ray, and sting rays in real life are often accompanied by other fishes who feed off of germs and bacteria that lives on these large sea animals. Sometimes they even accompany whales and sharks. These large animals love their presense because it cleans their body, and in return the large animals provide protection. Remoraid doesn't clean Mantine's body, but they stick to Mantine anyway due their real life counterpart's behavior. That's what Naminé thinks.

Thanks for the information.

To get back to the previous page:
i requested "Make a wish" in the music request thingy.
I did see Jirachi wishmaker and I loved it ^_^
And it sure is worth buying.

Thanx for the explanation Naminé

Lt. Surge's Raichu April 30th, 2006 12:42 PM

I'v just seen the episode with the ghost lady, that really is gastly, what do you think about that episode?

I love that episode. =D And then Brock falls in love with the ghost of the maiden, as always. XD You know...back when I was younger I never noticed what a lecher he was...XD

Lt. Surge's Raichu May 1st, 2006 12:30 PM

Heheh, Brock always fall in love^^ It's funny, he gets his heart broken many times

Supreme Edgeboy Max May 2nd, 2006 7:51 AM

Its what Takeshi does, live with it. Basically, he's never going to find someone for himself.

Lt. Surge's Raichu May 2nd, 2006 9:06 AM

Hehe, poor Brock, i think its' weird though...he never seems to find the one..

Supreme Edgeboy Max May 2nd, 2006 9:26 AM

Brock found Professor Ivy, but they broke up or something, and the whole thing was left unexplained.

Lt. Surge's Raichu May 3rd, 2006 8:13 AM

Yeh, i remember that episode. It's bad that we dont get to know what happens between them, sinse they brake up...

AAMLrox May 3rd, 2006 12:53 PM

Hehe, i remember that I'll guess we'll never know... but it's kinda funny that Brock falls in love in basically every episode ^^

Supreme Edgeboy Max May 4th, 2006 7:13 AM

And gets dumped basically every episode in which he basically falls in love. XD

So, how many of you want to save the dub? I really don't, I want the change.

AAMLrox May 4th, 2006 9:36 AM

Well, I do (obviously) but, because I live in the UK, I don't know how long it will be before I get to see any of the newer episodes anyway, they keep showing Johto Journeys and the Advanvced Battle episodes stop just before May gets to the Grand Festival.

I wanna save the dub because I can't imagine the characters being voiced by anyone else in the dubs and I kinda think it would be hard to replace them after 8 years (is it?) But I suppose it could be a change for the better...

Supreme Edgeboy Max May 4th, 2006 9:55 AM

Well, I pretty much hate the anime because of its lacking in actual anime elements. Anything changing has got to be a big improvement really.

Naminé May 4th, 2006 5:16 PM

It is doubtful in Naminé's mind that a change in voice actors can really "save" the dub. There is the nostalgic feeling to save the voice actors, so personally Naminé signed to keep the original voice actors as well. However, there is much more to dubbing than voice actors that determine if the dub is good or not. For example, 4kids have to change every background music possible to make it worse. Worse of all, what bugs Naminé the most is how they paint sandwiches over every single riceball in the anime now...

Naminé supports saving the voice actors, but it remains truthful that the Pokemon anime dub is still beyond "save." It's terrible to the roots, but that maybe because even the original isn't all that better~

Agreed, completely. As I've said before, the anime's no longer an anime at all.

they really paint over? O.O
C'mon a riceball is nothing bad. I'd like to eat one of them. ^_^

I got to agree about the background music, sometimes the original music is better than the dubbed music.
(and that's not just for Pokémon).

Supreme Edgeboy Max May 6th, 2006 8:31 AM

I just downloaded the Original Soundtrack they play for Pokemon battles. "Fukutso no Pokemon". Random name, random music. It sounds nice.

Kotowari May 14th, 2006 8:48 AM

Hope you like the CD, Max
I once downloaded the OST of Pokemon 8, I like Aaron's theme
