Son of a bitch. I forgot to get a Celebi from Gamestop. Are they still out tomorrow?
Yeah, it should still be available tomorrow. The promotional posters say "Available February 28 - March 6."
I have a question regarding my play-through in HeartGold. They told me that to get to the Pokemon League and the Elite 4, that I need to return to New Bark Town and surf east. I did that, and a fat kid on the other side told me I had just entered the Kanto region. Is the E4 for Johto really in Kanto? That doesn't even begin to make sense.
I think I'm way down the rabbit hole when I'm checking my wifi usb connector works and looking up australian event dates for downloading special pokemon and...
I got like two badges in diamond. How do nintendo manage to elicit this kind of hype? Is it some gas in the air?

Johto and Kanto are side by side, with the E4 right between them.

Guess it's time for me to start posting in this thread. Fucking Pokemon. Ruining my life with every release.
I need to make sure I get a DSI XL charger tomorrow. One of my late dog's last acts on this earth was to chew up the plug to where it won't fit in the system anymore...
I'm going around and reading the reviews that have been posted. IGN's is surprisingly generous compared to others. Most are fair "been there, done that, but it's still fun" deals, but the IGN reviewer is jizzing all over the game . It's also a redacted version of the final review, leading to hilarious paragraphs like this:
Unfortunately, a lot of these new Pokemon suck.
I can get over the ones that are just dumb, like ▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓, but many of these Pokemon are downright hideous. I love Oshawott, the water starter. I think he's adorable. But then he turns into ▓▓▓▓▓▓, who looks like ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓ narwhal ▓▓▓ ▓ drunk bear ▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓. ▓▓▓▓▓ conveys the image of ▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ melted ice cream sandwiches ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ cigarette butts.

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS MOTHERFUCKING CAVE.
I SERIOUSLY CAN'T WALK FIVE STEPS WITHOUT ENCOUNTERING SOME BULLSHIT POKEMON LIKE BOLDORE WHO IS OFFICIALLY MORE ANNOYING THAN GEODUDE.
More annoying than geodude, but more or less annoying than Bidoof?
They have an ability that makes them always survive with one HP if they were at 100% when they were attacked.
In other words, they ALWAYS get at least one chance to annoy you.
And if you run from them (from any pokemon, really) the encounter rate is supercharged for a bit -- so if you do just say hell with it and start running... you'll end up fighting a ton of random encounters.

Woohoo, Celebi get, taking far less time than anticipated.
It has sturdy, meaning that it survives with 1 hp from any move that would one hit KO it.
Being a rock type in the mold of geodude there are quite a few special attacks that would do that very job...only they can't because of sturdy. You need to waste two moves to kill them instead of one and are almost guaranteed to take damage fighting them.

Now I have this image in my mind of wild rock pokemon with Sturdy that know only Explosion.
Sounds like it would be annoying. But then again, you can just use something like Tackle either at the start to break Sturdy, or at the end to cherry tap it. If you're using Mega Drain twice, that's a bit of a chump move there.

HOLY SHIT THIS CAVE IS NEVERENDING. I THOUGHT I GOT TO THE END BUT THEN IT SPLIT INTO TWO STAIRS. BOTH LEAD TO A WHOLE FLOOR WITH LIKE A MILLION MORE STURDY POKEMON. FUCK MY LIFE.
Liligant is one of those interesting, old school stone evolution pokemon where you have to make the trade off between much worse pre evolution stats and much better moves that said pre evolution gains.
Hey, there's a dude in a PokeCenter who knows the Hidden Power type of your Pokemon. Neato!

Balls, my touchscreen has died and that seems to be the only way to interact with the shit on the bottom screen. That's fun. The persistent attempts to get online are devouring my batteries.

Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
So, I've just finished FireRed and Emerald's main plots, and I'm wondering: Are there any hints for capturing legendaries? I'm on a big legendary hunt right now, with Moltres and Mewtwo to go in FR, and all three third gen mascots, the golems, and lati@s to go in Emerald. Mewtwo will probably take my master ball, unless anyone suggests differently. Who in Emerald should I use one on? Are there any particular moves or abilities or tactics which will help me against the rest?

So... B&W will support WPA only if you have a dsi or dsiXL, right? We both have ds lites so.. damn. Since the Victini event will be via nintendo wifi, what are some good places to go that have wifi that the ds lite can access? I'm asking for the US, not in Canada or anything.
Huh. It's kind of nice to play a Pokémon game completely unspoiled for once.
Like Woobat. Did not see that coming. I take it they're this game's Zubat?
Also, that Team Plasma stuff could turn out to become interesting. Even if they do have a darn stupid name. I mean, what does Plasma have to do with knights and Pokémon Liberation?

Energy. If you notice, Reshiram and Zekrom are not just the Ying and Yang Pokemon, but they were also made to represent a Nature vs. Technology aspect. Even their design was created around this -- one looks more feminine and animal-listic while the other is masculine and robotic. Reshiram is a Dragon/Fire and has a huge jet booster for a tail. Zekrom is a Dragon/Electric and has a huge turbine generator on its butt. The 3rd corresponding Dragon in the trio, Kyurem, is Dragon/Ice is about the absence of energy.
Thus, to tie in with the themes of the story, we get Team Plasma, who want to free Pokemon from human relations. It's similar to how we had a team called Galactic for the Sinnoh Time & Space Legend in generation 4.
EDIT: Though that doesn't exactly explain the outfits... Well, N is supposedly royalty. He gets a crowning ceremony, so you could tie that to the knights motif.

You should get the first two badges in the first two or three hours but the third ones takes another three or four hours. They fixed it in Platinum.
This game is laid out quite a bit better.
Also for those complaining that America is not civilised, it's true. America is civilized.

uh the grass type starter of every gen learns tackle as a matter of fact
I'M FUCKING LVL. 40.
I DON'T NEED NO STINKING TACKLE EVEN IF LILIGANT COULD LEARN IT.
Might I recommend you all take a detour through Route 17 as soon as you get Surf, and leave a space for an egg. Annoying, but well worth the trip.
I really do think people will go mental traversing this beast of a cave. Worse than Seafoam Islands by a wide margin and that's saying a lot.
ALL OF THEM.
This gen is a lot tougher than previous ones, and I like that it tries to encourage you to use stat up moves.
I like how the boss in that cave uses all four Pokemon who have been giving me nothing but torture in these last two hours.
Game Freak, you magnificent trolls.
Scratch that, best thing is surviving a OHKO because of Sturdy. Sorry Throh, Sawk comes out on top this time 8-)

Mcdonalds, a bunch of airports, some cafes.
