    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    So This Is About To Get Awkward...

    So? You can catch Doduo and Rhyhorn in FireRed. Doduo you don't even need the Safari Zone for. I didn't miss Slugma in my first GSC walkthrough, in fact I even got a shiny one. That's exactly what you do in Johto. You get all the badges, you defeat Team Rocket, you can catch Lugia/Ho-Oh and...

    Starter For Black/White 2?

    Bellyzard is very hard to use with Stealth Rock in play. Typhlosion has Eruption and... Eruption. It's very powerful, but not dependable. It's like saying Archeops is better than Staraptor without taking Defeatist into account (I personally thing Staraptor is overrated, but still...). Emboar's...

    So This Is About To Get Awkward...

    You named it, the bike limitation. Also, in Kanto there were rare Pokémon which you could only get in Safari Zone (Scyther, Pinsir, Tauros, Dratini), which is the whole point of a Safari Zone. Adding a bunch of Johto Pokémon in Emerald which I can easily catch in FireRed is lame. And yes, this...

    Starter For Black/White 2?

    Emboar is not a bad Pokémon, just outclassed. It's better than a lot of the Grass starters (if Venusaur didn't have Chlorophyll it would be very pedestrian), and at least it doesn't have to compete with Moltres and Ho-Oh for a team spot like Charizard. And Skyla sucks, her best Pokémon is...

    So This Is About To Get Awkward...

    Funny how our opinions are polar opposites! All the stuff you mentioned, I don't really mind. The two bikes were interesting, but I couldn't use the Mach Bike properly. Contests, well I didn't really care for them in Gen III and subsequent games. I hate all Safari Zones that aren't the one in...

    Starter For Black/White 2?

    They aren't really bad. Well, Serperior is (it's probably the worst starter ever!), but Samurott is average and Emboar is powerful apart from having bad speed. The only reason people say Emboar is bad is because it's slower than Blaziken and Infernape, but otherwise it has very good stats and is...

    So This Is About To Get Awkward...

    There's nothing "nostalgic" about Gen III. They aren't among the classics. Maybe they are for someone who started playing with Gen III, but for me, who started with Gen I, Gen I and II are the real classics and Gen III was sort of a half-assed reboot. EVs existed before Gen III but you could...

    What's the canon timeline between the generations?

    Wow thanks, I didn't know Bulbapedia was so extensive!

    So This Is About To Get Awkward...

    To me, Gen III was the worst. Firstly, there were many Pokémon which were just rehashes of older Pokémon. Wurmple line was yet another cocoon, Manectric was a worse Jolteon, Aggron a worse Rhydon, Swalot a worse Muk, and so on. I have lots of Pokémon I like, but very few of them are from Gen...

    What's the canon timeline between the generations?

    At the Nuzlocke forums a guy started a "Pentathlocke" challenge, which means he's going to be playing all five generations in succession, importing (and deleveling) a max of two surviving Pokémon into the next gen once he's done with the game. Then people started wondering what would be the...

    Starter For Black/White 2?

    I always choose the Fire starter. So, Tepig.

    Playing the original GB games just don't feel right...

    I loved playing on GBC, but I much prefer using an emulator for AR codes and speed button.

    Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal Version

    I started watching it ages ago but never finished it for some reason, maybe it would be time to pick it up again... It's pure gold, but I don't think it's an actual "Vietnamese" version with all the "FUCK" running amok. =D

    Daily Pokemon Discussions

    Volcarona is almost a pseudo-legendary and has a move that boosts three of its stats at the same time. That compensates for Stealth Rock weakness. Actually Volcarona is the only Pokémon in Gen V to have a double weakness to Rock and be OU at the same time. Double weakness is harsh on a...

    Daily Pokemon Discussions

    I love Vespiquen but her type is not suited to walling. Still, hits pretty decently with Attack Order. Actually if Stealth Rock didn't exist she could be much more effective. I don't know why the competitive community didn't ban Stealth Rock since almost every team has it and it kills the...

    Super Mario 64 - anyone else share my sentiments?

    I think you're getting too heated up over something I meant more as a joke than anything... It wasn't my intention to argue with you. Although I do believe that a video game childhood without either Mario or Sonic, or even Donkey Kong, isn't complete. There's a reason why Crash Bandicoot isn't...

    Super Mario 64 - anyone else share my sentiments?

    Well I just made a light-hearted comment. Nintendo isn't really fundamental. But Mario is! Not more primitive than PSX or even the SNES with the Super FX games and Super Mario RPG. Interestingly the first time I was creeped out by glitches was with Pokémon. Missingno. felt like a thing of...

    what languages do you speak?

    Well I speak my own language (Portuguese), and I'm fluent in English. I'm learning German and I have a personal project that will never be completed of learning Japanese. I'm also moderately good at Dothraki and Elvish but there's no one I can speak to since Westeros and Middle Earth are so far...

    Super Mario 64 - anyone else share my sentiments?

    Hahaha you should! Before Super Mario Sunshine it was Mario alone vs. an entire army of Goombas, Koopas, Piranha Plants, Boos, Thwomps, Bullet Bills and whatever Bowser threw at you. Great fun. =D SMB3's storyline: Bowser turned the kings of the worlds into animals and Mario must defeat the...

    Super Mario 64 - anyone else share my sentiments?

    Do you know how many characters you can have a positive interaction with in Super Mario World, which is the previous game in the series? One: Yoshi. Positive interactions are more meant for RPGs, where interactions unlock stuff. SM64 is a platformer through and through. And you actually have...
