    You're just jealous.

    Reverted back to my old sig and avatar, since Lucario isn't as badass in Brawl as I expected. His Smash attacks are slow as tar and he doesn't have a spike. Plus, these were just better.

    you're a fool

    a fool

    You traded your Pokemon away to a GameStop, so I say you are the fool.

    Damn Skies of Arcadia distracting me from getting these two in fighting shape. Forgot how much hax Recumen and Belleza are. But I am working on Mah Bukkit and Gawain!

    I have a shitty Adamant Garchomp that I used to plow through the storyline, it probably has crap IVs and I have no idea what the EVs are on it.

    I'll try to clone some earthquake TMs for you and that other guy. I'll see if I can clone the rest of those items.

    I think the choice specs are given to you in-game, but I'm pretty sure that you can get the life orb,expert belt and at least one EQ TM in-game without the battle tower.

    yeah, I was just listing off stuff I needed, I still have my strategy guide but I didn't remember what was battle tower and what wasn't

    and I need like, three EQ tms

    I think you can get Swords Dance at the Game corner so I suppose that's something I can get on my own too

    ...it's just that Ivysaur kinda sucks...
    He might, but he just sucks so much that I've yet to look for it.

    What's with all the Ivysaur hate?.. He's quite awesome, and I prefer him over Charizard, at least in most battles. Brawl is wonderful by the way.

    So, tournament. Do people still want to finish it?

    Emiger, I need an Earthquake TM if you're cloning them. Actually, I could use 2, but 1 will suffice as I don't want to impose.

    Kuribo's Shoe, it sounds like the team you're assembling shares many similarities to the one I'm working on right now. I can probably get you a Modest Riolu and an Impish Hippopotas with Slack Off.

    Unfortunately, I can't trade until Friday when I get my Wifi back. That goes for both Emiger and Kuribo. If you're both willing to wait, I'm willing to be on Friday night.

    I could probably help you out with the Impish Slack Offing Hippopotas and the Adamant Piplup, which would also have either Yawn and Stealth Rock or Rest and Sleep Talk.

    You know, Sandstorm teams are a bit too common these days, as are Rain Dance to a lesser degree. I'm tempted to make a Sunny Day one just to screw with people.

    Status Report: Halfway through the EVs for Mah Bukkit and Gawain, the only thing that's gonna take a bit longer is leveling them up to evolve and learn a move, respectively.

    I had a sandstorm team way back in the day

    now I'm just trying to improve it

    also if anybody has a jolly Meowth with Hypnosis I'll take that too

    You'll want a male meowth, but its nature doesn't matter unless you want to use exactly that poké. Only females with everstone have a chance of passing down their nature to offsprings.

    I have most of those pokemon sitting in my boxes Shoe, but none of them have the nature you want.
    But I can clone up Earthquakes real easy in Emerald, so I could offer some of those.

    Error Code: 84020

    We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection's match-making process. Please try again later.


    I wonder if Brawls problems are spreading to all of Nintendos WiFi.
    I'm just glad its not my fault. I had to Upgrade to AVG 8.0 (anti-virus and firewall). I had problems and I think I lost the Firewall settings I used to have. But I battled with my pearl version just fine and then traded with Jugs, so I think it's just Nintendo. But now Jugs and I can't battle.

    2 more very close fights. I may lose, but it's always close.
    I hate Machamp.
    My Staraptor has worked out well. Now I just need a Physical wall that isn't Hippowdon so that I can have some defense but not get hurt by the Sandstorm.

    pearl vs. diamond, do certain starting pokemanz have an advantage? it's harder to tell than it was with ruby / sapphire since you can kinda associate those colors with the starters

    Every Pokémon has their own strengths and weaknesses Gunstar, but there's no real advantage for one starter over another. All 3 of them are great Pokémon, but you might want to choose Chimchar because it and Ponyta are the only Fire types you can get without trading early in the game.

    Oh, but you're asking whether you should get Diamond or Pearl? Here's a list of version exclusives but you can trade for everything you could want, assuming you have WiFi. Less people have Pearl, so that might put you in a better position to trade with others, but that doesn't matter around here.

    Also, I had meant to suggest "Pokemon: Killed in a Brawl" for thread title a day or two ago, but I like this new one.

    Gliscor and Skarmory both say hi. Gliscor especially as it has Sand Veil on top of all of the rest.

    Also, I happen to still have a single adamant female Gible from my 'project-beat the battle tower' team. It happens to know Outrage, but being female it sadly can't pass that part on.

    Finally, I still have my old hail team. I keep thinking of new ways to tweak it, but frankly hail teams by nature are stall based teams, and I find its kind of a boring way to fight overall. Not to say you won't see any more ice Pokemon from me, though.

    What's the right way to use someone with Choice Specs in your party? It seems like after they kill the first enemy poke you're screwed because you can't use any different attack. Am I missing something?

    switch out

    don't use it in cpu battles, because you don't need it

    the idea is to basically make one move powerful enough to sweep anything that is neutral or weak to it

    if they bring out something that resists it, you switch
