The Daily Chit-Chat

[donavannj]

I managed to squeeze some Game Boy gaming in there when I bought my GBC in 1999. I had pretty much beaten Blue ('cept for the E4), by the time I got Yellow and Red for Christmas that year. Though I didn't fully beat any of them until late 2000 when I borrowed a high-level Pokemon from my cousin.

 

[Misheard Whisper]

Happy New Year, PC! And as promised, I'm posting here, now, and leaving. I wish you all the best of luck for the New Year!

k bai. This is my last post. Remember it well. /lolno

 

[Feign]

haha XD

I think in both red/blue and diamond/platinum, I beat the elite 4 first time through, mostly by coincidence and overuse of potions and such.

I haven't played Pokemon in a while though, right now I've been playing Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

 

[Zet]

I've been meaning to try out spirit tracks but I haven't had the time since I've been broke :P

and enjoy this pokemon comic strip

[Yu_&_Rei]

Happy 2010 everyone! =D

I hope you all plan on fulfilling your resolutions

 

[ÇyänïdëÉX]

Wow i forgot all about the new years resolution. oh wells, happy new years to all yous ladies and germs hugs and kisses and all that new years stuff.

 

[Zet]

Haha, don't worry, even I forgot about resolutions. I guess mine would be for 2010 to be more eventful than 2009

 

[ÇyänïdëÉX]

I guess its not that bad to make one now huh? at least it will be recorded here for a little while..hmm lets see my resolution for this year is too love more and hate less..sounds simple XD

 

[Jack O'Neill]

Haha, don't worry, even I forgot about resolutions. I guess mine would be for 2010 to be more eventful than 2009

May you live in interesting times, then.

 

[moon]

Oh noes. This new thread got 5 pages without me touching it XD

Good resolutions, the one above. Mine are to lose some weight, not to eat candy, do better in school, listen to myself more and take care of myself more. Weei :D

 

[Feign]

Lol, I chose Bulbasaur initially. And God knows why, but I decided to name it "Coolboy" (yeah... idk...).

My original team was something like:

Venasaur
Mew
Zapdos
Vileplum
Gengar
Hypno or Arcanine (or neither; can't remember)

I played the game again, before I got Diamond, and went with a sort of dragonic team.

Something like:

Charizard
Dragonite
Aerodactyl
Onix
Seadra
Gyrados

Wit Diamond/Platinum though, I got my dragon team this time around too, and even it presented a challenge when facing Cynthia, as most of her Pokemon were good against mine, or at least had moves for it.

I think the team was like:

Kingdra
Flygon
Dragonite
Aerodactyl
Charizard
Garchomp

 

[donavannj]

In one of my playthroughs of Yellow, I named them all after hip-hop artists that were big at the time. :(

 

[moon]

My Yellow team always looked the same. Pikachu, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Hypno/Kadabra, Primeape/Machoke.

Lol Don XD

 

[Feign]

Hmmm I might have used Machamp in place of the last two... I think I chose it because it could be spelt as part of my name. Not that "Machamp" is in my name but rather, seperating "ma" and "champ". XD

 

[Bay]

Heh, for my Diamond team I have all of my Pokemon named after characters from my fanfic. XD; If I remember correctly:

Golduck (Timmy)
Luxray (Jacob)
Gastrodon (Jenny)
Steelix(Brenda)
Chatot (Bunny)
Infernape (Lucas)

I think I'll do the same when I get HG/SS. XD

 

[Red✪Star]

I don't nickname my pokemon, I ruin them all. :)

 

[Jack O'Neill]

In one of my playthroughs of Yellow, I named them all after hip-hop artists that were big at the time. :(

That's still better than what I used to do when playing Gold and Silver; with a few exceptions, I simply named the Pokémon I caught after either gym leaders who used those species or Digimon that they supposedly resembled. The only notable exception to that naming convention that I still remember right now was that I named Voltorbs and Electrodes after Tsar Bomba.

 

[donavannj]

The most common nicknames I gave Pokemon in Gen 1 were SmartiePsy and PokeKing (Kadabra and Nidoking). I didn't have anyone to trade with regularly at the time. :(

 

[Zet]

I rarely nickname my pokemon, I never really found the point if I wasn't going to trade them or anything :(

 

[Feign]

Lol... Yeah I was lucky enough to have had a gameboy (regular old fat one) and a gameboy colour, so with red and blue, I was able to complete it, and get a little certificate from the developer in teh building.

I suppose I could finish off the same for Platinum, but that would take a while. XD

I do miss the good ol' days of gameboy though.

Also if anyone had or knew: The gameboy camera came out before pokemon (at least in North America), and you could unlock sort of photo/extras acheivements by taking a certain amount of pictures, or printing a certain amount, or trading a certain amount. Needless to say, about 5 of the stamps were Venasaur, Blastoise, Charizard, Mew and Pikachu (if I remember correctly)...
