  6. I was gonna replay Heart Gold before USUM, but I think I’ll play the games I haven’t played yet, which are RBGY and GS (with planned teams, YAY!)

    Reply

  9. Does anyone else find Pokemon games really easily repayable? It’s probably because I usually go into rerurns with a plan and don’t even touch TMs and stuff I don’t need, and I’m also not too bothered about levels

    Reply

    • Well they’re the most replayable games I’ve played, you can do a lot of things like nuzlockes, mono types, playing with Pokemons you haven’t played before etc..

      Reply

    • I don’t touch TM’s either, but I really just have to get past the beginning (its super boring at the beginning till at least the first gym in replays) but the middle is my favorite part cause you have most of what you want and have lots of stuff to still do

      The end unless I really like my team gets very repetitive sadly and makes me lose interest or if I leave for a long while before getting into the end

  10. Oh wait, I won’t be able to use Gengar or Alakazam (Some of my fav Gen 1 mons I haven’t used yet for some weird reason) in Blue cause I have No friends ( that have a 3DS)

  12. Because of the amazingly looking Hoenn gym badge collection, I decided to do a rerun of AS. I’m planning on using Pokémon I’ve never used before, like Donphan. But you can only get it in game at the Safari Zone.. So I was wondering if anyone would want to help me get a lowleveled Phanpy? I’m also planning on using Ludicolo, Houndoom and Grumpig. I don’t know if they’re good or not but honestly, I don’t care. I just want to enjoy my favorite region again 😀

  13. Really hope that Nihilego’s Mother Beast form becomes a Mega Evolution for it or something, it’s such a good design ;-;

  15. We’re rapidly approaching the one-year anniversary of the Switch announcement. I still remember it so well…after so many months of rumors we were able to see what we would be playing with for the foreseeable future. I’ll admit, I was hoping for a catchier name but now it just works.

  17. sudowoodo is a pretty good pokemon. also i cloned rollout and taught it to furret, i figured the ghost gym would only use ghost attacks so i thought why not and gave it to togepi too to catch it up with my other pokemon. it worked very nicely. and Morty was horrible! who says whitney was hard because she was simple. that dream eating gengar is what is hard

    Reply

  18. Well I’m going to start my Anime team (like as if I was in the Pokémon World)

    Now what to do for a starter? I have problems with them all rn cause

    -Treeko is waaaaay too weak at the start cause it takes me like 10 hits to finish off a little Wurmple
    – Not very fond of Torchic in the game (its cry is worse than its original too)
    -And I’ve used Mudkip so much in the past

    So who do I go for?

    Reply

  20. Gosh Damn It my DS is definetly broken the battery jumped from being 3 bars to red to blinking red back up to 3, then to red

    Any one know what might be wrong with It? Other than the battery is messed up

  22. About to challenge the E4 with my team

    Typhlosion
    Wigglytuff
    Heracross
    Lanturn
    Jynx

  25. Challenging Lance. We are both down to our last Pokemon Typhlosion vs. Aerodactyl. Used 3 smokescreens and Flame Wheel twice before he can land the first Rock Slide-but he was burned by the second Flame Wheel. Two more smokescreens and a Flame Wheel after breaking the speed tie allows me to defeat Aerodactyl and complete the league!
