Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Finished the latter (in Black, anyway), so that's a not-issue. (Heck, Black is already sitting with half my B2 team waiting for trade...!)
And about five minutes, then. That's good... I was hoping to be able to crib my niece's DS for a short while (if, of course, I do get it tomorrow), and it's nice to know I can get that, at least, set up right away. (I'll probably only get as far as the first point you can start trading anyway, before I have to stop while I wait to snag said half team from Black, as I imagine getting to that point (and getting some chaff Pokemon) will probably take an hour or so. But at least I cann safely make a start!)) I presume the manual will tell you how to link 'em up?

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Totally doing this with a spanky new White 2 cart. I'd do it with my Black 2 cart, but... well... that stupid Genesect event is going to screw with me.
So yeah. Now the question is, with access to any pokemon in the Pokedex, what will my team consist of? I've done the Eeveelution Assassination Squad, so that's out... My Black 2 team is Lucario/Flygon/Leavanny/Arcanine/Samurott/?... hmmm...
Maybe a mono-type run?

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Half the fun of a mono type run for me is the "shove your starter in a box and only use pokemon of the type selected" so yeah.
I challenge you to do an Electric mono-type run!

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Has anyone tried to get past the elite 4 in Emerald without catching any pokemon?
Technically doable.
You might even be able to beat the battle frontier (meaning, all symbols), but I'm not sure.Last edited by enderlord99; 2012-10-23 at 09:29 PM.
I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Oh wow, I totally forgot you get gift pokemon. I read the idea as a mono-swampert run.
So you could conceivably even beat the battle frontier with a rain team based around castform, metagross, and swampert. This is looking even better as it goes.
Too bad I don't own emerald.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
SpoilerI'm pretty sure picking the "correct" answers will just cause it to Swords Dance the whole time. The only real danger is if it uses Crunch twice before your first line.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Today's new extreme sport: Play Pokemon Dream Radar, barefoot, while a cat tries to nibble your toes.
Today's B2 playthrough catchup (up to 7th badge):
SpoilerAnd now, a dramatic re-inactment of actual events:
"Oh, hey, Lentimas. That's where I think the guy is that'll teach Dragon Pulse to my Serperior. Well, I had plenty of Red Shards for the Red Shard guy, so I'll track him down and see how many Blue Shards it'll set me ba-
…
*The Sound of Celestial Tower's Bell Echoes throughout the region!*
…And I wanted to teach Weezing Dark Pulse if I had enough leftover, but I only have 3 blue shards.
And now back to our regularly scheduled playthrough.
Oh, hi Bianca. Hope you don't mind if I KO your Musharna in just about every other battle. Just, you know, consider it taking one for the team. Wait, didn't I just fight my rival like one city ago?
…
Did he just open. With Razor Wind.
What the hell.
Alrighty then!
My new additional HM Slave is going to be a Dream Radar Drifblim. Apparently, Sigilyph can't learn cut, but a ghost blimp can. And, I'm going to transfer a Dream World Murkrow to my party, because I see I'm nearby a Dusk Stone and it's not like I've given him a chance elsewhere. Just let me log on to Global Link and-
"Pokemon Global Link is scheduled for maintenance from 3:00am to 9:00am ET!*
…
*The Sound of Celestial Tower's Bell Echoes throughout the world!*
Well, I got time. Let's try that Funfest thing that Serebii says should get me some Blue Shards. Great, looks like they want me to do a different one before I do any actually rewarding missions. Ah, there's the Shadow Ball TM. I guess I don't really want Dark Pulse on Weezing anymore.
Did… Did we just get closure about that girl on the bridge?
Ah, now for reals, the ore funfest. Rats, Serebii's list must be wrong, because I just found a Revive and that's not there. I also read on Gamefaqs that only one version gets blue and yellow shards, so I hope I don't get any red sha- rats. I got a red shard. Well, might as well finish this up, so I- aaand I just got a blue shard. Thanks, pokemon fan base, for messing everything up for people that want to look up information.
Well, I can't say anything about the losing at PWT method because I haven't tried it, but the Find Mysterious Ores mission got me all the Blue Shards I need in 3 tries. <_< Looks like nobody needs to whine about how hard it is to come by elemental stones now, too.
Power Lens? Without BP? Madness.
Smasher on the bridge: "But I'm tough enough to go all day and all night." That is what she said.
Gee, that was a long sidetrack without any gyms. I think only Diamond has that sidetrack beat. What? Iris wants me to go to route 9 instead of the gym? Gah, this better be important. What the hell could keep me waiting on continuing the- oh, Shopping Mall Nine. Got it. Come to think of it, if Bianca wanted to get to asking Drayden about the dragon, why didn't she use Fly before getting sidetracked every which way?
Er, not like it matters. DRAYDEN, I'M HERE TO SLAY DRAGONS AND CHEW BUBBLEGUM, AND I'M ALL OUT OF BUTT TO KICK! As you can guess, it was a Serperior and Lucario sweep, with a surprise appearance of Weezing to Sludge Bomb and Venoshock after Dragon Tail hopped in.
What the hell, the ship flies. Yeah, sure, wynaut?
…
Is that a-
what the
Ahem.
Feels like Skies of Arcadia in here all of a sudden."Okay, so I'm going to quick draw and dual wield these one-pound caltrops as improvised weapons..."

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Oh Shuckle, you may only be NU. But if the oppoent can't switch you out, or remove status changes, once you start trolling, you just don't stop.
Got my shuckle to survive to turn 70, in-between it setting up stealth rocks twice, and toxic posioning two pokemon.
Contary+Shellsmash equals Tank!

Okay, um, that 8th gym was the most disappointing gym ever.

Taking on Brock with Squirtle in Gen 1 was easy. This one, I felt bad for wrecking the whole dang gym. Me. The guy who takes a Contrary V-Create Entei in to the Battle Subway.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I am going to say no, without any knowledge of what team you're using right now. I mean, I used Omastar and Weezing on all the trainers because they were lagging in levels, and even though Serperior had the type advantage, all of my other pokemon could have handled the gym leader's team. Er, except maybe Honchkrow, but he's just on the team right now to leech experience.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Aha. We'll see if later today, whether or not I'll be getting to that...

(I could have bred lower levels ones, but it just didn't seem like it was worth it!) So Snivy (who will likely actually be the first starter ever phased out of a primary team...) and Zorua (who is level one) will have to do most of the heavy lifting for a bit, until I supplement them with the rest of the planned team later down the line from in-game captures.
(About 50% of my fun with Pokemon is the hours - and I do mean hours - spent deciding on what Pokemon I'm going to use of the next run through, often several games in advance...!)
