I found a 1000+ CP Pidgeot this morning, couldn't be bothered to waste ultra balls so it ran away. It's no more use than a 10 CP Pidgey if you're gonna transfer it.

Not sure if any of these are rare but they look pretty cool

You silly young people with your iPhones and your Pokémon Go, you forgot how to play regular Pokémon and you outright ignore me.

I ended up making a assault-vest Mew with Ice punch, fire punck, Psycho cut and earthquake.

I like the way Pirez thinks not answering = ignoring because it couldn't possibly mean we don't have an answer for him or anything.

Either way i'd say to hell with Fire Punch and put Drain Punch on it because Ice Punch and Earthquake got you covered for most things Fire would take down except for maybe Ice which is sorted with Drain which would also give you super against those nasty dark types especially.

EDIT : Oh yeah, Drain Punch specifically because of that HP recover for a defensive set, only alternative I see Mew getting is Superpower which would work better for all offensive.

Fire punch was added to counter specifically Ferrothorn who is left unchecked by all the other Pokémen on my team (ice punch is there to cover DemeterosLandorus). I already have a Coatox Toxicroak with Drain Punch, so I figured it wasn't really needed.

Sorry Pirez, I don't care for anything after Generation II, and I still prefer Generation I anyway, so I don't know half of the moves you're talking about nor do I have a fucking clue what a Ferrothorn is. :mrgreen:

In fact, I even thought you were trolling us the first time.

A Genwunner in our midst, for shame.

In all seriousness though, I do wonder if and how they'll manage to get the 700+ lot in. Not to mention that with Gen 7, there'll be even more new 'uns.

True Rayman Pokémon fan. :proud:

There's no such thing as a Pokémon game with Dragonair catchable in the wild. :mrgreen:

I thought they kept some out? I played Ruby once and I'm pretty sure some Pokémon weren't present in it or Sapphire.

Time to stop being a conservative shitlord and get with the times Humch, Gen IV is the best generation because I grew up with it and that's why it's better.

I don't think they put all Pokemon in the games anymore, "catching them all" got kinda ruled out once they hit 500+ and usually the games try to stir you into using the new ones anyway.

Btw, are Pokemen games worth playing on an emulator? All the DS ones are apparently old enough to be going up in price again and I'm not dropping 50 bucks to play them, but using a keyboard and two small emulated DS screens seems like it'd be a bit shit.

I remember seeing a lot of emulated battles back in our YouTube days, but I dunno if they controlled well. IIRC though, the touch screen wasn't used so much so as a gameplay element as it was an interface, you used it for the battle options, Poketch/Pokenav, Pokedex etc. I think you might be able to get away with it.

I'm sure you can get Pokémon Red for cheaper than that, and it's not like you want to play any other Pokémon game. :mrgreen:

It's no bad, Pokemon is one of those finer DS games where only minor mini-game esque features actually need the touch screen. And you certianly should be playing them, even at least for the Gen 2 remakes. :mefiant:

Yea, but avoid the steam port, not to say its unplayable or anything but the GC version seems to be the superior of them all. So either emulate it or get a copy for Gamecube.
