    Look in your heart; you know it to be true!

    In other news, what I'd like to see in gen 5: Tertiary typing. Charizard could be Fire/Flying/Dragon, for example. Put it in places where it makes sense.
    That would make things horribly complicated. These games are still aimed primarily at children.

    It wouldn't add much complication to the main game. It has been my observation that most kids play though the game with their starter. Despite NPC's advice to the contrary it is not that difficult to get through the game with one type.

    That's true, but I still think triple-typing is a bit too much.

    All the kids I ever talked to who played pokemon (quite a few of my younger cousins actually) caught loads and loads. Catching things is fun and they always had a full party. Sometimes silly goose pokemon with poor movesets, but they had plenty of others to choose from.

    I'm honestly surprised at how many people tend to forget this. My experience with others that play this seems to point out that they don't actively care about the things like IVs (Even I fall into this one), keep the starter and a pack of legendaries, and so forth.

    There are plenty of dual-types that haven't even been utilized yet, and plenty more that have yet to be utilized well. Why on earth would anybody want a third typing?

    Triple typing should be instituted purely for Charizard. He deserves to be a dragon :(, realize his full potential.

    If arcanine wasn't SR weak he would go places. Sadly it is so he's stuck being a top tier UU. It probably doesn't help that like 95% of teams carry a bulky water in ou.

    So besides the early-pokedex-number Flying types, which are always my favorite starting with the Pidgey family, everyone usually loves the later-pokedex-number Dragon three-stage evos. And I got to thinking:

    Dratini line
    Larvitar line
    Bagon line (Beldum line too? Trapinch line? Fuck they like their trios this generation)
    Gible line (though it has odd Pokedex placing)

    So that's Dragon/Flying, Dark/Rock, Dragon/Flying deux, Dragon/Ground a couple times ...
    Would a Dragon/Dark be too overpowered? Sure there's Giratina but maybe something OU but not Uber ... I dunno. And I think that certain pokes should get new types ... it worked for Magnemite, and isn't he the ONLY poke with a new type change? And they were backwards-compatible. Maybe make the Bagon line Dragon/Dark. I dunno.

    Giritana is ghost/dragon. Electric/dragon with levitate would be pretty amazing I think. Water/dragon is probably the strongest overall though(see palkia).

    That's true to an extent but then there's the kids who started ten years ago who are now still actively playing. The Training items and even Battle Fronteir are clearly designed for older players. I think Pokemon is one of the rare franchises that can cater to both it's fanbases.

    No, that's a pretty spot-on translation of the Japanese name for Draco Meteor. The thing is that, like most Japanese things, it's a fucking pun. Ryuuseigun means meteoric swarm, but the ryuu part of it means dragon.

    I don't like the 3 types idea but if some Charizards were Fire/Flying and some were Fire/Dragon I think that would be a pretty great idea, as long as the sprites somehow make it obvious which is which.

    I'm one of the kids who started ten years ago and still plays, but I still don't really enjoy the competitive aspect of the game. The series is just so nostalgic for me, and I feel like I'm ruining it when I try to be hyper-competitive about it. There's nothing wrong with that style of course, but some people just don't like it.

    You're right though, Pokemon does bridge the age gap very well.

    Well, I kept getting disconnected last night when trying to trade with Silence.. No idea what was wrong with my wireless, but would anyone be willing to waste a few minutes to see if I can connect to anyone at all?

    It does let me log on to WiFi, as well as GTS.. My Wii can connect wirelessly and plays games/downloads VC games just fine. Same distance, same router.. So maybe I'm just missing something simple?

    :^: This is me as well. I plan on getting back into it when I have a bit more free time, and when I eventually do some battling, I'm going to look at strategies and use that team-building page and plan my moves and stuff, but I'm also going to use Pokemon that I like. And I'm going to get a freaking Bulbasaur early on. Maybe I'll pick up Platinum and start from there, even though I never really finished Pearl. It's so hard to jump back into it mid-game!

    Kingdra is held back by average stats. If it was a 600 bst dragon that thing would be uber so fast it would make garchomp's head spin.

    That's been my experience as well. Try changing the gender/location of the pokemon you're looking for, because that sometimes gets different results. Or you might have to suck it up and give your dialga away for a purugly.

    Not that I've ever done that.

    I had much more luck putting my Pokemon up for reasonable trades. It took me no more than an hour to get the other two starters by trading the children of my Monferno. Of course, that was when I first got Diamond. People may have grown disillusioned since then.

    Of course, you're much better off just asking here.

    I once saw a kid at a Gamestop tournament who couldn't accept that his Arceus was hacked. He just kept repeating "But somebody traded it to me! it HAS to be okay!" until they just kicked him out.

    There is a program that lets you find out if a poké is hacked or not, but lately, it has been really off diagnosing. Legit Pokés from my Emerald that were trade to my JP LeafGreen and pal parked to my SoulSilver appear in that program as having been tinkered with a hacking program.

    And some hackers are so good that you could never tell if a poké they made is hacked.

    It's really not that hard if you just copy every little detail of the official event Pokemon in question (say, a Manaphy with a particular ribbon caught so-and-so at level so-and-so with the specific moves, etc.). It's undetectable because they are for all intents and purposes exactly the same as official ones, because they are essentially made in the same way. It sucks for players who want to play fair but there really is nothing much that can be done about it.
