Speaking of R/S/E, how's this team for my next Emerald playthrough?:

  • Swampert
  • Camrupt
  • Breloom
  • Gardevoir
  • Altaria

Also, I need help deciding what to put in the sixth slot.

You are not alone, and you are not strange. You are you, and everyone has damage. Be the better person.

Solrock or Lunatone?

Yes, he will be physical, and no, I caught him wild, and he hasn't been in any fights until now. I don't like breeding too much unless the pokemon can learn an amazing move from it, and through no other method. He has a gentle nature, so he'll be a good special defender, and his normal defense is also looking decent.

I see. I have Adamant, Timid, and Modest Dittos so when I need one of those natures I just give the Ditto an Everstone and breed it with the Pokemon. Works almost every time.

Remember that the Power ____ items add 4 E Vs per battle. So fighting a Bidoof while holding the Speed item would give +1 HP +4 Speed. Fighting a Gastly while having Pokerus would give +2 Sp. A and +4 Speed I think.

Power items stack with pokerus so it's 8 per battle. Too bad none of my pokemon have pokerus.

I wasn't quite sure about those items.

If you want Pokerus, I have carriers. I could give you the Flash Cannon TM too.

You only need one pokemon with pokerus to infect a whole box right? If so, I'll let him infect one of my pokemon and then send him back to you. Thanks for all the help!

The way I do it is put the infector at the lead of the party and the infectee in the second slot. Then, fight some wild Pokemon with the infector, and after each battle check to see if it spread. Give it not only to the infectee but several random Pokemon from your PC so you have a supply of it. Remember that outside the PC it loses its contagiousness after 48 hours, so infect them and then stash them away until you need more.

Do you want it now?

Give me about 10 minutes, since I'm going to finish up my Bagon first. I'll be done soon though.

It would be easier if Bagon had Pokerus, though.

He's about to be finished, and is at about 252 in speed and 190 or so in attack. Like I said, he'll be done really soon.

Edit: Done! and the payoff was nice too. 16 speed and attack.

The third generation designs definitely stand out. I'm not gonna make any sweeping statements about what one generation might be designed like, because that's simply not possible. The first two generations aren't full of animal-like designs, and the third generation isn't all full of crazy shenanigans. But overall, they definitely have very different feels. The third generation seems like the most colorful. Just browse through this, and maybe you'll get the impression as well.

Of course, "colorful" sounds like a good thing, but most living creatures don't have particularly varied colors on their bodies, and along with the necessity of making each new Pokemon look different in terms of shape as well, since a unique shape is important for recognizability, this generation in particular might strike people as looking artificial.

I've infected about seven pokemon, so that should do for now, however I have to go to a concert for my band really soon, so I'll trade him back to you when I get back. I should be back at around 8:30 or so.

Okay, but I may be busy then. Make sure he's in a PC so he doesn't lose his contagiousness.

Pokerus is a Godsend when it comes to EV training.

I beat Erika, Surge, and... um... the poison Gym Leader today! I was wandering around training my Dragonair (which is nearly at where I want it) and decided "What the heck" and fought Erika.

And beat her pretty easily. It was fun.

Erika was one of the easier Gym Leaders as long as you had a strong bird or a fire breather.

The the Poison-Type Gym leader is called Koga.

Yep, I'm still here.

^^^ Right, thanks.

And yeah. My Crobat pretty much sweeped Erika's entire team.

And asiacatdogblue, he's the Poison Elite Four. Janine is his daughter and the Fuschia Gym Leader.
