    It's accurate, because the website is talking about all the Red/Blue/Green/Yellow stuff. Gen1 only.

    Talking about how the anime is exactly one year old today, having debuted on April 1st, 1997 should be a big hint, as should 'Dragon Rage is the only Dragon move, truth!' thing.

    What's the deal with inheriting Dream World abilities? I've heard that you're supposed to be unable to pass egg moves, but Bulbapedia seems to say otherwise.

    "From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 40% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring. Ditto count as male for this purpose."


    Wouldn't that mean that I could breed until I got a female with the Dream World ability, then breed it with a male to have a chance at a baby with both the egg moves and the ability? My DD Feraligatr build needs this!

    Some pokemon such as the eeveelutions can only be gotten as male from the dream world and thus lose their egg moves.

    Starters might be like this too, i wouldn't know.

    Well, Dragon Rage is the ultimate dragon move.

    And, no, it's not possible to get DD, Ice Punch and Aqua Jet on a Sheer Force Feraligatr. Yet.

    I've been lurking for a while now, but the call of GTS was too strong to stay away!

    I've got a spare Tornadus that I'm looking to trade for a Thundurus. Willing to negotiate, but honestly don't have anything that special to offer. Maybe a Zorua?

    Also, can anyone explain why there are so many people looking for Zekroms and Reshirams at level 9 or under? Is that even possible?

    I've never played or really looked at Pokemon before. For some reason Black / White looks oddly interesting. I have no interest in the cartoon or even really in the graphics of the game, but it looks like there might be an interesting game powering it all.

    Speak to me of your pokemans, fine people. Sell me on this.

    Do you like deep RPGs where you can have electric zebras, polar bears with ice beards, killer metal plated ants, dragons with axes for tusks, bulls with afros...

    My, my.. I think I might! A hint of a plan is forming - I purchase both Black and White edition and give one to the missus. I think she might be into killer metal plated ice-bearded axes. Thoughts?

    I haven't played a Pokemon since Red and Blue, and this is definitely the game to start, or get back into it.

    They cut out a lot of the rape and the difficulty is more reasonable.

    That's odd, I was hoping for the opposite as my Sawsbuck has changed every month.

    Maybe try walking inside a building and back out again and it should change?

    I think that the Deerling has to be in your party when the season change occurs for it to be effected. I checked the ones in my PC box and they haven't changed to Winter, where as the one in my party has.

    If it's still a Herdier, then it's probably fine. Just teach it Retaliate and use it to sweep enemies that just took out another member of your team.

    The time will come when you need to get rid of Stoutland, and that will be tragic.

    It's already done. He was really adding nothing of value in terms of match ups. Sigilyph, even 5 levels below almost all of the rest of my team except Tynamo has proven most OP.

    The female has to HAVE the Hidden Ability to be able to "pass it on".

    Also, to those who are saying that the Pikablu wasn't Gen I... well, it kinda was, because those rumors were flying around when we were still in Gen I and Gen II was either out in Japan already or on its way. We were still playing Gen I when the Marrill pics started circulating, and I remember several people telling me you could get one in RBY.
    You can't.

    It's frustrating as hell, yeah. You'd think that with all the restrictions they can put in place to not be able to trade certain pokemon, and not use certain pokemon in various modes, that there'd be some internal checksum or something that would disallow retarded trades like someone asking for a LVL 1 Arceus.

    It almost makes me wanna load up my R4 cart and just hack out some obviously bullshit mons. Here's your LVL 5 Reshiram. It's Shiny. And has every Gen 4 ribbon. He was found in Pallet Town. And is Named HackDouche.

    Xenogears, I am done with the 'mon you let me borrow. Thanks a TON! I was able to get 4 legendaries I otherwise wouldn't have been able to get. Just give me a time and I can trade it back.

    And thread, I am 7 pokemon from completing my Gen IV dex. seven. I will have a complete gen IV dex soon! Stupid swarms, marsh, trophy garden stuff has me at its whim, though. Safari zone stuff in SS is even worse. No way to cheat the time and I need to wait like 30 days with no counter to tell me how many days the game has counted the zone being up for me. great system, gamefreak.

    Just got mine to change.

    Apparently it needs to be in your party when you start the game and the season appears on the screen. Presumably it also would have changed if it was in my party prior to 8am today; I started at about 7:58 and it was still Autumn, then changed to Winter at 8 when I left a building.

    Oh wow, a Volcarona survived a +1 Outrage from a max attack adamant Haxorus. I call hax! Not even Gigalith survives a +1 Outrage and that thing is sturdy.

    So I've got most of the BP items now and leveled my guys to lvl. 50, except Haxorus who learns Outrage at 56. If you guys did the same, we can do an Open Battle or something sometime this weekend. Or Flat Battle. I guess. Call me if you want to get bumslapped by yours truly.

    Anyone have a Hoppip for me? It's supposed to be in White Forest, but all I can find are Rhyhorns. It's the Safari Game all over again!

    Apparently the amount of different Pokemon in White Forest is based on the number of grass patches and surfing areas and mine are really sparse at the moment. I have no clue what affects it. It wasn't this bad the first time I set place. Yeah, yeah, Entralink, whatever that is. It still doesn't make sense why Pokemon abandon the place. It's like a ghost town.

    MY KINGDOM FOR A HOPPIP.

    Seriously, they're mental if they think I'm going to locally connect to another DS with the other version of the game just so I can catch a few pokemon. I was wrong to compare White Forest to the Safari Zone. It's ten times worse than the Safari Zone.
