Pokemon Diamond

Whoops, I forgot the PTCG! I do have that one too. Wink

I'm not saying that nothing will stand in that Blastoise's way (Blastoise isn't the best sweeper out there) but more problematic would be something with very high defense, since it's an all attacking set.

For the record, Poliwrath is pretty mediocre, even worse than Blastoise. Blastoise's high HP would probably let it outlast Poli, and who in their right minds would attack a Water type with a Water Attack, hm? Razz

Also keep in mind no single pokemon stands alone - it has to be a team effort.

Wow, I just got Pokemon Diamond earlier (It's 2:22 AM here, it was around 4 PM) and I'm hooked. I was lucky that it gave me permission to get on the internet. It's attached to my brain and could kill me at any time...

Pokemon Diamond: I heard that! *Pokes Maraha's brain*

I have a question about Diamond and Pearl, can you use the DS's WiFi through a wireless router to connect to players around the world? I don't actually own my own DS, but I sometimes steal my girlfriends's (PINK!) DS and play on that, so I've never tested it out.

I understand that on Diamond and Pearl, people are swapping friend codes and trading around the world. If so, that's pretty amazing.

Also, I have a decent team on Fire Red (Snorlax rules all), is there a way to transfer them to a Diamond/Pearl cart using only one DS?

0.0 Damnit Embri, I can't afford that many vitamins!

Also, you may have Pokemon Box, but do you have Pokemon Protein?!

No offense intended if you actually do have Pokemon Protein...

On another note, and I know crap all about Pokemon, but why Bite? A Psychic/Flying type such as Lugia would knock both Earthquake and Bite off the list, leaving Aqua Tail and Ice Punch, neither of which are all that powerful compared to Aeroblast (Lugia's signature move).

Lugia is weak against Ice, so Ice Punch is super-effective, but if you upped it's HP(?) and Defense EVs and gave it Leftovers it shouldn't be too dangerous (presuming you were around the same level).

Moveset wise, I'm thinking Aeroblast, Giga Drain (exploiting Blastoise's weakness against Grass), Thunderbolt (95 power + Super effective? Ouch >.<) and maybe Recover or Protect. Nature-wise, probably Bold (+Def, -Atk) as all those attacks are Special.

...And now I want to actually make that Pokemon 0.o... To Silver, and victory!

i likr crystal, because you can mate the pokemon.

you might be able to do it others, but i've only played red, blue, crystal and gold.

Bite, I believe, is Dark rather than normal, so he should be able to hit a Poke like Lugia with it, plus it should be Super Effective due to the Dark>Psychic move type. Although, Bite only has a power of around 40, so it's not that tough. I'd bet Ice Punch would take more damage off of Lugia.

What benefit would Aqua Tail give Blastoise over a move such as Surf? I've never actually heard of Aqua Tail before.

D'oh! Addman's right, back to the drawing board it is then.

At one point in time, I have had:

2x Pokemon Yellow
1x Pokemon Silver
1x Pokemon Crystal

I've also played countless other games.

I also managed to bug someone's game to the point of them having to completely reset by losing a game against them Mad

Silver vs Gold ftw.

My personal favorite, however, is Crystal, since it's the only one I've beaten the Elite Four in. Hundreds of hours wasted Very Happy

I also "accidentally" killed Suicine because he was a horrible *JUMPING PEPPERS!* and my starter was level 100.

That's why I tend to train Ubers as well as normals, except on Blue, but an Articuno really isn't that hard to beat if you know how. If we're going on about lists of Pokemon stuff (even though I can't really beat Embri) I've got:

Blue - Sparks (Raichu), Spike (Sandslash), Whipper (Venusaur), Blaze (Charizard), Blasty (Blastoise), Snowstorm (Articuno)

Silver - Typhlosion, Togetic, Ampharos, Gyarados, Lapras, Swellow

Crystal - Meganium, Ariados, Gyarados, Lapras, Arcanine, Suicune

Ruby - Scorcher (Blaziken), Bandit (Linoone), White Fang (Mightyena), Kal (Kadabra), Mobi (Wailord), Tiamat (Salamence)

Snap
Stadium
Stadium 2
Collosseum - Espeon, Umbreon, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Flygon (and I still can't beat the last lot! Grr)
A Pokemon N64
A (original) electronic Pokedex
A tilt-sensitive Pokeball game
About 30 of those figures with battle-discs
More battling cards than I care to count
Oh and I won a big cuddly Charizard at a fair too Wink

I might consider picking up Diamond or Pearl, maybe. Are they worth it?

I'm still learning, and have yet to actually play in a tourney match so I have no idea what's allowed and what's not. Other than switching Giga Drain for Psychic and using Protect, which you've already suggested, I'm clueless Razz
