    So which starter from all the games has the best stats?

    I am thinking between Empoleon and Feraligatr.

    Charizard is totally third because he is the winner of most badass by a mile.

    The answer to this is a highly subjective one. Best stats for what? And if you have great stats but a crappy movepool, you're not as good as something with slightly worse stats and a great movepool.

    I'm pretty sure they all have the same totals, and Charizard and Typhlosion have the same stats.

    Mixed Attacker? Probably Infernape. Mixed Wall? Venusaur, Blastoise, Meganium, maybe Swampert. Stupidly fast special attacker? Sceptile. Special Wall? Empoleon. Physical Wall? Torterra. Etc. etc. etc.

    True I should have been more through. All I meant to ask was really who is your favorite starter to keep on a team.

    Plus to get people to not post in the old topic and get this one going.

    Water types have the best overall defensive/offensive typing (resists four - water, ice, fire, steel, weak to two - electric, grass), get access to Water, Ice and Normal attacks as a rule (awesome coverage), and tend to be sorta bulky. The starters, at least.

    My favorite starter is Quilava. Not Typhlosion, but Quilava. I just think it looks adorable. I like Grovyle a lot too, though.

    Mesprit is being a jerk and never being synchronized to my Espeon when I meet it at the cave (Maybe it doesn't work?)

    I just noticed that Silver/Crystal are still in their boxes on my shelf. I can't believe I actually kept them in such good condition. Urge to play them has tripled but the batteries in them are probably dead.

    Submitted my team. Have 2 more Pokemon on it to actually TRAIN but I've got all week to do that. Yay!

    Well 44 is the international code for the UK and I'm pretty sure 0 is the prefix for NA dialing out.

    It's probably a hint that you should call me and explain where my ditto is you filthy kidnapper!

    New Pokemon threads! We're sure wearing them out fast.

    And I can't help but notice that in the OP, the tournament is still listed as starting on May 1st, even though registration isn't due til the 8th.

    Am I chaining wrong?

    I use one pokemon up front, poke radar, max repel, kill/catch, but it still my chains break.

    The patches are sometimes shiny as well.

    The "shiny" bushes that you are seeing are not "shiny". The bush that you enter must shake in the same way that the VERY FIRST bush you entered shook like. You should also only enter the furthest-away patch, and even then, only if that patch isn't on the very edge of the field. I also wouldn't enter that patch if it's only a few spaces away (even if it is the furthest away). If no bushes are far enough away and also shake properly, walk around a bit (avoiding all the shaking bushes) and re-use the pokeradar.

    Also, even if you perfectly follow some kind of guide to chaining pokemon, there is never a guarantee that the right pokemon will appear. Your chances for continuing the chain depend on the rarity of the pokemon (and can be increased with the Static or Magnet Pull abilities, if you are chaning an electric or steel-type pokemon).

    The actual "shiny" bushes are easily distinguishable. Rather than just having a few little lines, they actually noticeably sparkle.

    I doubt it, but you never know. I have a bunch of shinies, but I can't see me parting with any of them. They are like trophies.

    Oh well thanks for the explanation. I'm at work and can't look it up. If you do run into someone (or anyone with a shiny machop let me know)

    Snorlax - #143 (Careful)
    HP: 15
    Att: 29
    Def: 25
    SpA: 31
    SpD : 29
    Speed: 22

    The HP is disappointing but hell, it's a Snorlax. Plenty of HP to spare.
    I'm just feeling lucky that I managed to get a good one in only a dozen eggs or so.

    Does anyone want to Battle?

    Well, at first I was going to build a team of my favorite pokes, regardless to typing, but then when Ashton mentionned how almost every team he's had submitted to him so far are all redundant, I can only assume you guys are all using a bunch of Ubers, so fuck it, I'm going with some Ubers too.

    sigh

    It's like you saw my team before the battle. This could have been awesome but hey, two electric types on one team, one of the only leads that could have screwed me at the start :(

    Also the amount of pokes you have with flying/levitate, on the one game where I bring spikes instead of a stealth rock.

    I only had the 2 Levitators, but also 2 Steel types.

    It's already up, you'll see it in the newest 30. Spikes is rubbish, SR for life.

    We should have another battle, I've still got some more testing to do.

    I don't think Toxic Spikes will ever be terribly useful against me, but I don't mind that you keep trying.
    It does screw over my Hippo and Machamp actually.

    haha thats flattering I guess. I didn't expect anyone else to see that as a good idea. I'm not even sure about it myself.
    Another good fight Rami. I'm back on my game! Thank goodness. Or maybe its just cause I'm not bringing my novelty pokemon this time.
    You're going to upload that as well?

    GG. It's saved but I cba to upload it right now so go ahead if you want.

    The new guys have pretty much all turned out to be useless sacks of shit, averaging 0-1 turns before dying. Doesn't help that you have so many damn steel types that I can't lay a finger on, and every time I bring a tank you seem to have the exact sweepers required to not be phased by it.

    I don't see anything on your team thats really a sack of shit, nothing like my Cursing Lapras. Just give them a shot against someone else.
    But every thing I saw are also popular pokemon, which means most people here are familiar with and possibly prepared for all of it.
