Oh my! Two pages of posts I've missed in my 2 days of schoolworks! Sadly I'm just about to enter Clay's gym, which is my most recent progress. But I see there's a new event now?

I'm definitely supporting the competitive event suggested by Ket, even though I know I'll do horrible. I don't think a Swoobat with Simple and Calm Mind is gonna save me, when there's a lot of strategies and methods to consider. Yeah, I definitely suck at competitive. But I'll still participate!

Then there is Meloetta which looks female yet isn't...
I wish I could tell you, 'oh, they are legendary Pokémon so they are classified as genderless.' But sadly it doesn't work that way, as Heatran can a male and a female. Then there's Cresselia, a fellow Psychic-type who has a gender. Makes you wonder why her counterpart, Darkrai, is genderless.

I couldn't make any speculations or theories for Meloetta being classified as genderless. She was probably intended to be a female and they forgot to code Meloetta that way.

There's no new event yet; it's all in the planning and talks. It would be bad of us to scrap the on going event! Do I look like that evaaal to you? >:)
On a related note, I'll be officially update Team Volt White's score on a later post! ;)

That's the spirit! Winning and losing isn't important; having fun is what makes an event fun! While Swoobat isn't part of the top tiers, Simple Woobat with Calm Mind and Stored Power can be dangerous!

Once again, a Psychic type. Seeing a trend here xD

I don't understand how Simple Woobat + Calm Mind + Stored Power isn't a threat >.<

Also, under the member list, I'm still "stest12". No hurry whatsoever since it doesn't really matter anyways but if you ever have a minute of absolute boredom with nothing to do, please change it to ketsuekiR (yay! :D) xD Thanks!

Hmm… What trend? *plays dumb*

Because its defensive stats including it HP aren't strong enough to make it a threat; one Crunch chomps it down before it can set or after setting up a Calm Mind. Like its fellow Psychic/Flying, it has potential but wasted.

I'm glad you notified us formally, you see not a lot of members do that. :)

True enough but in the event, I can't see many Pokemon using Crunch :/ Of course, it's just off the top of my head, I could be forgetting someone important xD

I forgot all about Meloetta being genderless despite both forms looking very female. Then again it is the only Psychic-type I have never owned.

White 2 Challenge Update

Battle With Marlon
Spoiler:

After defeating all the Ace Trainers Paige stood in front of the Gym Leader, a young tanned man with blue hair.
'Sup, Let's Go' Marlon said
He sent out Carracosta, Paige sent out Misty the Starmie.
'A Water Type!' Marlon exclaimed with glee. 'A Girl after my own heart'
Misty used Surf, Carracosta used Crunch, Misty was wounded but was able to Surf again as the Rock Turtle was about to go for another Crunch. Carracosta fainted.
'Awesome' Marlon said. 'But you Haven't seen nothing yet.'
He sent out a strange looking Jellyfish Pokemon with what looked like a moustache.
'My Jellicent' Marlon said proudly. 'Good luck conquering it.'

Misty was wounded, Paige withdrew her and sent out Cassandra the Gothitelle, a strange pendant hung between it's eyes.
Paige sensed something eerie about Jellicent and telepathically said to Gothitelle. 'Remember Excadrill'
Cassandra nodded and used Fake Tears, Jellicent used Ominous Wind, the cycle continued as Paige healed Cassandra when needed with a Hyper Potion.
'Cry all you want Psychic Girl' There's no way you can knock out my Jellicent with a Psychic Type.
Cassandra used Fake Tears again, Nothing happened, Marlon laughed. Paige used a Hyper Potion then closed her eyes as Jellicent used Scald.
'Shadow Ball' Paige said to Cassandra.
The pendant shone as a large Purple ball appeared and flew towards the Jellyfish Pokémon. The ball hit Jellicent as it disintegrated on the spot. Marlon gasped.

'I'm...Maybe done but not yet.' Marlon said defiantly. 'Wailord go.'
Paige smiled, she knew the hard work in this Battle was done. A desperate Marlon healed Wailord as it's health dipped but Cassandra was too strong and Psychic was too good for the giant Whale. Wailord fainted and Paige had won.

'Incredible' Marlon said. 'You have all eight Gym Badges, I knew you were a Psychic Trainer and built my team accordingly but you were too good...How bout you go catch a Slowbro, use Starmie and keep Gothitelle and become Co-leader with me? We'll be near unstoppable Girl, you'd look great as a Surfer Girl.'
Paige smiled but politely declined the offer.
'Well then,' Marlon said. 'Here is the Wave Badge and the TM Scald, how about you teach it to Starmie. Good luck on the rest of your journey, I'll be rooting for you.'

Marlon swam off as Paige sensed her Psychic Powers growing, they will be needed for the rest of the journey.


Surprise Find - In a Friend Safari in my X Game I found a Shiny Abra...since I had a HA Gothitelle as my lead it couldn't Teleport away. It's Male and I nicknamed it Nostradamus. I evolved it into Kadabra but it might be a while until I have Shiny Alakazam which is pink and a deeper yellow, Abra and Kadabra are a paler almost Misty yellow colour with brown...what was it about us saying Psychic Types had weird shinies? :)

Is catching Victini allowed if it's boxed right after (I can post image to prove that I've boxed it) or it goes directly into the box due to team being full? I'm asking this because the rules say only that legendaries can't participate but technically Victini isn't participating if it's in the box all the time because common logic is that participating = battling.

Edit:
I am sure this Gen was made to punish Psychic Types.
I've thought about switching this into a Mewtwo solo run in order to strike back.

Yessy, Swoobat might be a terror in a All Psychic-type match. But hey don't take that Crunch too literal -- it means physical moves!

You can catch Victini for scores, but you just can't use it! Same applies for Lake Trio and other Psychic legendary, but they don't give more points than your average Psychihc mons!

Speaking of which I haven't catch mine and I'm not interested either. I don't hate it, but it's a drag to capture legends. :P

Pedants note: Shouldn't Sabrina have the short hair if this was drawn at the time of Gen 5. I do prefer the old Sabrina look however, I wonder why they changed it.

But yes, Will and Lucian suit Tate and Lisa's Clothes too well and it looks strange to see Caitlin without the hat.

Yeah, Sabrina looks a lot better with long hair like she used to have!

There's a saying that says that as a Woman gets older her hair gets shorter. Maybe she was redesigned to show she was older than in the Kanto games. I think the redesign is fine but the classic look fits her better.

Considering how hard Sabrina was for a lot of players in Gen 1 perhaps she should have been an Elite 4 member in the Johto games. It would have saved them using Bruno again at least.

The thread has quietened a little in the past few days for some reason.

Personally, I think she deserved to be in the Elite Four along with Koga. I liked the fact that they brought Koga up and I think adding Sabrina in there would've made it even better (since she uses psychic types and they're epic! ;D).

Nice! Next on the list is Alakazam xD

Honestly, going a centimeter or so off the rails here, I think the elite four should have been completely replaced by the Kanto Gym leaders for the Johto games...

I agree but if I were to pick four and in order:
Spoiler:

Erika - We have not had a Grass Type Elite Four in the series. Her Ace could be a Bellossom taking out the Poison weakness of Vileplume. I would still imagine she would have a Vileplume in her team. Poison's biggest weakness is (of course) Psychic. Maybe give Erika a redesign so she's not so Flower Girl like.

Koga - Same as in the games and is a ninja which are cool.

Misty - Starmie is an impressive Ace to have I think a Lapras and Slowbro would be nice additions to her team. Maybe add a Togetic to tie into the Anime.

Sabrina - Similar to how Lance carries multiple Dragonnites Sabrina could have multiple Alakazams along with a Hypno and Slowking. Whilst Psychic got a debuff in Gen 2 Sabrina would still be a worthy final Elite member.
