    Quick questions about the pikachu-colored pichu.

    1. It's available until the 25th via WiFi, correct?
    2. If I don't get it, is it possible for me to use someone else's to get a spikey-eared pichu?

    Speaking of lost shinies, I THINK I encountered a shiny Ryhorn in the safari zone in Fire Red. Didn't turn out too well.

    My first shiny was a Girafarig in the Safari Zone, but I caught that one. I also found a shiny Weezing, but I masterballed that one before it could explode. And then, for some reason I can never fathom, I gave my game to someone. Still kicking myself.

    It's true. Kinda makes sense, they all have a baby in their pouch.

    I don't know why they don't make a male version though, just remove the baby from the sprite.

    Obviously Kangaskhans are parthenogenetic.

    I've figured it out. The reason there's no baby Kangas, and all Kangas you can catch are female: it's not a baby in the pouch, but the male of the species. Like the angler fish, it attaches itself to the much larger female, becoming a single entity.

    It's Poke-science.

    Catching legendaries is amazingly boring.

    as per shinys, I had 3 show up during the mandatory double battle parts of platinum. I got all excited until

    You cannot catch pokemon in double battles!

    I wished very bad things upon Riley and Mira

    *Edit* Whining apparently helped, caught Ho-oh with the very next ball.

    It took catching fifteen of them, but the Pokewalker finally coughed up a Modest Magby.

    Now I can swap off and start my hunt for a Mild Elekid!

    I so wish Synchronize worked on the Pokewalker. :P

    Soft resetting for a good red gyarados at the moment, here's my latest candidate:

    Adamant
    HP 31
    ATK 14-16
    DEF 12-15
    SPA 10-13
    SPD 20-23
    Spe 28-30

    Just like my last candidate, high hp and speed, good all around, but attack is low for a physical bruiser. Though after Dragon Dance, it may not matter.

    Every pokemon that comes out and ends the fight alive when the opposing pokemon is fainted gets EVs.

    Or another way to put it; Anytime a pokemon gets EXP they get full EVs from the fight.

    The whole checking on your pokemon following you around thing is pretty silly, in a good way.

    I just beat a trainer, and chatted with good ol' Nidoran(M), and he stares right at the trainer for a second... and then it says, "Nidoran is staring at nothing at all." Oooo, sick burn Nido

    Edit - @MetroidZoid :^:, talking about how great Nidoking is would never be an inopportune time.

    I accidentally registered a Fisherman and jesus his calls are annoying... if only we could call them back, if only!

    No, that is a well documented mistake.

    See, the last guy that did that? Forgot that Nidoqueens, in the wild, are a rare breed. And after walking around with his Nidoking for umpteen years, and after smelling of wilderness, one day that Nidoking said 'fuck it' and well, that Pokemaniac is buried on a small island in Goldenrod, atop of which a golden bell memorializes his death.

    Fucking rocking my Zubat for so long and I let it evolve to Golbat after it picked up Aerial Ace. One level after that, it evolves to Crobat. So I now have Quilava, Poliwhirl, Crobat, and Alakazam as my heavy hitters.

    Of course right after I get Crobat I get a call from Joey about how his Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattatas.

    HG/SS are probably the best put together pokemon games ever. It's like one or two very minor things from being absolutely perfect.

    As it is it is one of the top five video game remakes ever. Probably top three.
