And just to throw in a topic, how did you guys feel about the Apricorn system in Johto? I personally loved it, because it promoted so much diversity in terms of Poké Ball designs. :)
I really thought apricorn are food- who knew they could be made into different kinds of pokeballs? I like Blue Apricorn, the Lure Ball apperance-wise, for uses, my vote would be Green Apricorn, the Friend Ball!
Apricorns are interesting, they show a piece of history of the Pokéballs. I can't say I picked them a lot, because that required a lot of travelling every day, while I still prefer the use of regular Pokéballs, but I picked them every time I passed them.
If you like to participate in the Pokeathlon, Apricorns are essential to bringing out their true performance potential. Just remember each Pokemon are mostly tailored to a specific course.
Ah, I miss the Pokeathlon. I had so much fun playing with friends in HG/SS. Using the Apriblender to get the right stats was really difficult to master though.
The only course I was good at was Stamina, and that was due to a very impressive Miltank I had that seemed to have a ton of strength to her. She was also my star against Lance, in that she did Attract hax to beat his Dragonite trio and her good Defense stat held her up as well.
I wasn't exactly a big fan of the Pokéathlon at first, but then after forcing myself to try it, I eventually got addicted and now I absolutely love it, haha.
But regarding competitive play, prediction is also my biggest problem as well... :(
I find competitive battles a ton of fun. The strategy and planning involved is fun, and I enjoy training up competitive teams. Sadly though I'm not that good at it (prediction hnng).
You have to admit we got through Slowpoke quickly, given no-one was counting down. I do love that evolution line, and Mega Slowbro is adorable and a hard-hitting tank.
