Yeah, I normally don't use pokemon with the pickup ability, that's probably a big portion of it. Another is that I typically balance my pokemon (to a point) and run away from a good bit of wild pokemon I come across.

Oh, I forgot Misdreavus was first introduced in 2nd Gen. I guess they could give it to him. Who knows, they might very well change up the pokemon gym leaders use.
Well, if you were really desperate you could just change you DS clock to the correct time, and find him. Perhaps they'll change his encounter rate, or when you can catch him at that point. We wont find out till the game comes out in Japan what changes they made exactly. | |

I'm a competitive battler and a big fan of the Pokemon combat engine, and even I have absolutely no interest in perfect IVs, EVs, or natures in the games themselves. That's almost as absurd as some of those Disgaea crazies. Because you restart the game a dozen or more times just to get good IVs or a good nature. 20) There should be a Beauty Contest building in Goldenrod City adn Celadon. I read it again. You want the same building duplicated in two places and you didn't give any reasoning whatsoever, so I must assume the reasoning is because you're too lazy to fly back to the other one. If you'd like to explain more then maybe I wouldn't think that! 23) There needs to be more breeding-only egg moves and more complicated chain breeding lines. I must have missed some of your intentions due to you not describing exactly what you wanted here. 32) Allow the player to have his lead Pokemon, aside from legendaries follow him, not just his starter. I want my Espeon to follow me. 20 isn't nearly the same as 493. 35) Make all 140 TMs, 11 HMs, and Move Tutor moves from all the games obtainable through at least one of these methods. You can get TMs from earlier games through the various trading methods between games. There are some moves where this is impossible, but for the most part the functionality is still there. I agree it'd be nice, but I also understand that Nintendo (despite being an awesome company) are definitely in things for the mad money, and selling 6 Pokemon games and 2-3 systems to somebody makes them happy. 38) Pump up the difficulty and make the A.I., outside of battle tower, a lot smarter. Allow them to use items the way players do. There have been numerous Pokemon battle tournaments around the world with people using particular movesets and strategies. Take a hint from them and implement a few of them into the game. I want to see a trainer try and Toxic/Roar my party. The counter on toxic resets every time the opponent switches out, so when they come back in they start all over. Toxic only does 1/16th damage on the first turn, so you might as well just burn them (dealing 1/8th damage) and get things done much faster, and also halve their attack so you don't get killed in the process. 43) Give Espeon the ability to learn a sleep inducing move (other than Yawn) so that Dream Eater could be used skillfully in her movesets. It seems that every other Pokemon of every other type can learn Hypnosis (Ponyta!?). Yawn is awesome. If they don't switch out, they fall asleep and you can use Dream Eater. If they do switch out, you calm mind on the next turn and own whatever they bring in even harder. ~Polatrite~ | |

I would just wait for a dozen or so eggs and pick the best one. I read it again. You want the same building duplicated in two places and you didn't give any reasoning whatsoever, so I must assume the reasoning is because you're too lazy to fly back to the other one. If you'd like to explain more then maybe I wouldn't think that! I was talking about the placement for Beauty Contests in the "new regions." There isn't one yet in the Johto or Kanto regions. It was a cling to hopes that they would A) include the feature into this series, and B) make good placement of teh buildings. There would be one in each region, logically speaking. Fly didn't even cross my mind. You cannot Fly between Celadon and Glodenrod. You must either boat, walk, or train your way between regions, then Fly. I must have missed some of your intentions due to you not describing exactly what you wanted here. I was referring to breeding; not evolution. That makes sense. But, they already have to draw out overworld sprites for a lot of the Pokemon for in-game events anyways. I realize that, that's why I said that your method made sense. You can get TMs from earlier games through the various trading methods between games. There are some moves where this is impossible, but for the most part the functionality is still there. I agree it'd be nice, but I also understand that Nintendo (despite being an awesome company) are definitely in things for the mad money, and selling 6 Pokemon games and 2-3 systems to somebody makes them happy. No, you cannot. R/B/Y/G/S/C are the only games where one can acquire a Tauros or Omanyte with Horn Drill. There's no maney grab here because you can't get it to the new games no matter how much money you throw at it. The counter on toxic resets every time the opponent switches out, so when they come back in they start all over. Toxic only does 1/16th damage on the first turn, so you might as well just burn them (dealing 1/8th damage) and get things done much faster, and also halve their attack so you don't get killed in the process. Yes the counter resets, but the counter will still increase when the Pokemon is switched back out. The point is to use strategies in the game's A.I.; I didn't care which ones. Toxic/Roar was the first one I thought of because I've heard of a lot people using it. I don't care what your opinion of the moveset is. Yawn is awesome. If they don't switch out, they fall asleep and you can use Dream Eater. If they do switch out, you calm mind on the next turn and own whatever they bring in even harder. You state that as if to predict your opponents switching of Pokemon. This has just given me a great idea for a moveset. But once again, the article isn't about your, or my, opinions, of movesets. | |
32 and 42 confirmed. 493 Pokemon available to follow the main character. Ruins of Alph expanded upon ot encompass an Arceus sidestory.
| |
The games have been released so I thought that I should post my happy fandom confirmations.
6-11 confirmed. 12: Viridian is back but I haven't any word on trainers. 13-16: The legendary birds are back. 16 & 17 confirmed. 31: Music. Is. Awesome. 32,37,39-42 all confirmed. | |
You forgot #46, in which it doesn't take 5-8 months to get translated by their paid team of like 20+ translators.

Considering it's been out in Japan for like three days, yes, 5-8 months (Spring is March-June, by the way >_>) is quite a lot when even fan-translations can go by faster.

Then you have to give them time to go in and take out everything good for the English version and testing to make sure they didn't break it. | |
Okay, let's say a month to bug testing and such by the Japanese, that leaves 4-7 months for translation. Still WAAAY too long considering it's a paid team of 20+ translators!
Ruby/Sapphire took only like 3 months 16 days. Guess how many bugs were in EITHER version? None. Emerald was the buggy one and it took much longer. Conclusion: The best Pokemon games came out in the US the fastest. | |

They probably figure that they won't have it done by Christmas and releasing something after Christmas isn't smart. So they set the date for Spring. EDIT: I meant "Christmas Season." | |
Releasing something after Christmas isn't smart. Gotcha. So I shouldn't get new years gifts for ANYONE, right? Because no company will release anything after Christmas if it's before Spring, because it's obviously a bad business choice.
| |
The process will easily take 4ish months. Which is at the end of a bad quarter to release in. End of the Fiscal year and all. So kicking it down a quarter to spring is an easy choice.

No, it's not them worried about when they should release it, it's Pokemon, it'll sell well even if they joke with people and it just came with a freaking card saying "LOL PIKACHUUUU".
Nintendo have been lazy sacks with their games nowadays, Pokemon being the last franchise they haven't completely messed up. | |
No, its you caring when they sell it. They don't base their sales time and what you want, sorry. They base it on when is the best time for the market. That simple.
| |
Really? You're so sure they wouldn't release things at random dates?.
Granted, the game did blow badly, but that was their fault - they had 7 years to make a good sequel to Melee. | |
For the most part, yes. When I reached the Elite Four, thanks to Zigzagoon, I had close to 40 Rare Candies. I also did not do the side quests after the Elite Four, so there is a lot of room to train.
