Pokémon General Thread

He's a complete joke. The only reason he's not worse than Brendan/May is because he doesn't peter out halfway through the game.

Meh, they all are.

Dream radar is available, $3. Getting it sometime today.

I havent slept all night. I have to go to school now.

Im kinda annoyed that hugh isnt that tough, even in challenge mode. He still looks awesome and I love his music.

... And by 'getting it sometime today' I must have meant buying it now. Today is off for me. The scientis's face must have had something to do with that...

How come they don't have game releases on Fridays? That way, the kids could play the game all weekend after their homework was done!

Hugh seems fine, if overly aggressive.. He killed sewer Pokemon I wanted to catch though. >:|

Can you even buy Repels before you go sewer diving? Cause, if Hugh kills a potential shiny Pokemon...

I haven't played much Dream Radar, but it seems simple, but has content enough for a while.

Was gonna get another 3DS card for Dream Radar (And Goemon... And when it comes out, Harvest Moon...)

But, I was on another mission to get a Christmas gift, in case I didn't find Black 2.

Pokedex's Habitat Mode is pretty neat.

Why would you want to use repels? Hugh kills Pokemon for you, you get twice the experience and then he even heals your party.

It's a fun little mini-game, already got Munna and Riolu. Guess who's gonna have a nice party come Black 2...

But... Shiny Pokemon!

I wouldn't mind if it was a shiny Ratatta or shiny Zubat, since I already have one of each.

I guess for an out-of-sight-out-of-mind approach, to ensure you don't encounter a Shiny and he kills it.

Of course, to counter that I recommend just keeping a Pokemon who can kill Hugh's starter and murdering it if you want to catch something.

Nintendo could had, at least, disable the ability to run into shinies if you had a partner with you at the time.

Challenge mode is actually a joke in these games. You want difficulty? Turn the battle style from Switch to Set.

But then you get to the point where you just sweep teams with the first 'mon in your party.

Set mode has done nothing but make distributing EXP less convenient for me.

I'm liking all the stuff I can get... Takes about 10 minutes to reset, though some stuff on Bulbapedia is a little unclear. Like the extensions.

@ fawriel yeah my friend imported and had the key waiting.

And set and challenge mode is a pretty legit challenge.

Yeah, the shift mode is really useful for me because it lets me distribute exp in a better way. I'm not as concerned about switching in advantageous Pokemon.

Well, that was quite interesting. Just beat Burgh. The finale was my freshly-evolved Leavanny vs. his Leavanny. So it was a pretty neat mirror match. Mine won, of course, since even though it was 21 to his 24, it knew Bug Bite while his knew Struggle Bug.

I'm in Virbank (lol, I'm slow) and Roxie appears to have some daddy troubles. I plan on catching a Magnemite in this complex or whatever and beating Roxie with it (my favorite steel type :3). Now, I need a water-type...I want a Vaporeon but I dunno how long that would take, does anyone know how early you can evolve Eevee?

Late. You need Surf to get to the only place with a water stone.
