Ahh, gotcha. I have a bunch of stuff to EV train D:

It is much easier to train on Platinum due to Power Items and chaining so I'd recommend you do that, haha.

Although I must say, the notched ear Pichu is probably the most pointless event you could ever unlock.

Speaking of events, the new WCS Eevee will be making its rounds soon I believe. I know everything about it except the nature, but it will be very similar to last years Milotic. Always shiny, but always the same nature. I hope it's a good nature because shiny Eevees are fun.

If anyone has any more info about the Jirachi WiFi event that'd be cool, I'm not sure when that's coming but I have heard about it existing also.

Yeah, definitely. That shiny Metang I have needs to be trained.

I have a PCP, but I have a friend who works at gamestop, so I might just have her help me out with that. I can fight off the ten year olds while she uploads it.

That Eevee sounds awesome. I have two Milotics though.

Ahh yeah, shiny Metagross is pretty cool. Cliche now that there are a million of them, but still pretty cool.

Maybe you can get her to get you an army of PCPs for no reason??

Do your Milotics have good IVs? Either one?

I found my pickup linoones (77 and 99), so its not as big as I thought. Just missing rayray.

I don't know. I should check that.

SRing on Emerald for a decent Kecleon to mess around with.

I also ordered SS at gamestop. 30 bucks down payment.

Ahhh, pickuppers are awesome. I got basically everything worth getting in large quantities from using my Ziggy army.

It'd be pointless, but PCPs will be decent trade bait for non US non Japan people (AKA Europe lol)

I thought Kecleon were also in the wild, what are you SR'ing for? I actually kinda like Kecleon, him getting Recover is pretty cool.

Ahhhhh should I get HG or SS, I haven't even really thought about it yet. I better go review the differences again...

Dunno which I'm more excited for, HG/SS or the announcement of the possible new gen. Dammit Nintendo.

Finally added you. Mine is 1462 4064 4920

I'm just getting going on this gen, I better start enjoying it before it's gone D:

Alrighty. Let me know if you'd like to battle or trade. I'm pretty rusty and my team is old, but I would be up for it.

Seriously. It's hard to believe D&P came out 4 years ago in Japan. Mind blowing.

Yeah I've been playing for about a year. It took me a while to trade up and get the items/good IV'd/etc I needed to make good stuff...oh well I guess it won't be out in US until sometime in 2011 so there is still a little while...

R/B on original GameBoy. G/S was on the GameBoy Color. R/S on the GamBoy Advance and D/P on the DS. Weird that this will be the first time two gens are on the same console, if you count GB and GBC as being different. Anyway I'm super stoked, can't wait to see the new pokemon being released.

Thank goodness, I don't want to buy another console, lol

4th Gen probably had the most Pokemon I didn't like out of any of the Gens, so we'll see what 5th is like. With every new gen the first 2 seem more untouchable...

Definitely 4th gen was overall the worst in my opinion, but still really really good games. With the 5th I'm hoping they branch out to stranger type combos, I'd love to see some super contradictions going on like Fire/Grass or Fire/Ice haha oh and more weird animal based pokemon.

Really? I thought besides the bad Pokemon Gen IV was really good. It took all the new stuff from the third gen (Natures/Abilities/EVs) and made it way less of a hassle to work with. Third gen is horrible to breed and train in unless you have a lot of good Pokes and are RNG abusing in Emerald or something. Firered and Leafgreen are completely worthless* (Your bike is HALF SPEED WTF), and Ruby and Sapphire are borderline worthless too due to lack of moves and diversity (Oh, and the fact that Lati@s automatically have crap IVs) and lack of Wireless. PS I hate Gen III.

What they really need to start with is a way to solve the broken environment they created in the 4th Gen. I don't know if there is going to be another type, but there needs to be something else that can handle Dragons. Giving them two of the most Powerful moves in the game (Outrage / Draco Meteor), having them only be resisted by 1 type, giving them the stats to run destructive mixed sets, and giving them a great stat up move makes the metagame heavily focused on Dragons and Steels (Counters most dragons). Stealth Rock destroyed a ton of Pokemon, and there are very few Rapid Spin users (Needed a Rapid Spin tutor for HG/SS but all we mostly got garbage).

I think overall the Physical/Special split was a good thing. It made so much more stuff playable, but I think next gen needs some things to tone down the dominance of certain things in Gen IV.

Are there any animals Pokemon hasn't covered? Well, the answer is yes, because I've been through that game, lol. I'll have to make a top 5 list of animals that need to get into Pokemons for the next gen. Another good list would be most essential evolutions, because I have the feeling the new one will be a lot like Gen IV with many prevos and new evos.

*The only useful thing about them is stationary birds, but of course you can't even use Synchronize, so it's a horrible save reset battle against an unpredictable RNG
