Pokemon!

[Makoes]

so far I've found B&W to be fairly easy, and I am enjoying fighting wild pokemon that are actually more on lv with my own pokemon rather then several levels below me as I progress through the game.
I do know after the elite the other have of Unova gets a lot tougher, with trainer pokemon being lv 60+ and wild pokemon around 45+ in level. But since your team beat the elite, these levels shouldnt be to much to handle.

After reading a bunch of Nuzlocke comics, I decided maybe I should take a stab and keep going on with my Sapphire game. I had already taken out Roxanne, but I needed to destroy Brawly's team. So I did what all trainers must do: Grind.

My level 16 ralts then easily destroyed Brawly's team with a combination of Double Team and Confusion spam. We took care of Steven and we're at Slateport. I need to pick up an electrike, and from there it's doomed to be grindgrindgrind. Whee. Most of these pokemon are ones I've never tried before.

Team:

Blazereth: Level 16 Combusken
Cira: Level 14 Wingull
Karma: Level 10 Poochyena
Alpha: Level 11 Tailow (To be replaced.)
Soryander: Level 16 Ralts
Auron: Level 11 Aron (Named after a character in a book...)

Hmmm I havent played any of my Advance games in a long time!
Maybe I should finish migrating over the rest of my pokemon from emerald and restart it since I think most of the high lv pokemon are already in one of my DS games now. I am not sure which starter I'd go with...Poochyena would definitly be on my team, I love mightyena, dark pokemon rule! Swellow was one of my favourite bird types, I dont think I ever really used ralts.

Grinding in B&W is really really easy now. All you have to do is find a nice open stretch of grass and run back and forth outside the grass until you see shaking grass, get to the shaking spot without getting into a battle and you'll most likely find Tabunne, which is really easy to K.O and gives A LOT of exp. Also, you get an exp.share really early in the game, which helps to keep your team pretty even leveled. And later you get a 2nd one...but I found that for the first half of the game leading to the elite, 2 exp.shares cut the exp to much, and leveling was slow, so i just use the one. Might make use of the 2nd one in the 2nd half of the game where trainers are lv 60+.

[Makoes]

Dont forget to get your shiny Entei!!

Updates...

For the first time, I beat Wattson. Whenever I start up my sapphire games, I always get stuck at him. Just can't go further. Try one and I go down horribly, but try two, after switching the order, Blazereth and Auron with a bit of Soryander's help managed to bring his magneton down. So I'm on my way, past Fallabor, to whatever comes.

Blazereth: Level 23 Combusken
Soryander: Level 20 Ralts
Auron: Level 20 Aron
Karma: Level 21 Mighteyna
Rycah: Level 16 Electrike
Cira: Level 21 Wingull

I... Haven't been doing much pokemon wise. :>
Just caught myself Dialga in Diamond, who'll be intergrated into my team soon. I want to grind up a few levels before moving on though, maybe even finally evolve my Gabite.
Been fiddling aroudn in HeartGold, EV training up a few pokemon in my new team. Thanks to Senna for helping me pick this awesome team out. (Although I swapped a few of the ones we discussed out for some others that fit better XD)
Was wondering if I should try to pick up a copy of PBR somewhere, but we're kinda strapped for cash. I think I might just wait for the inevitable gen 5 "Stadium" to come out. Which means my awesome team will more than likely be transfered over to my copy of Black, once I get it.

Oh, I also found this nifty link to some of the aminated sprites for Black and White. Still a work in progress, bit it's neat to see these guys in action.
Just a shame most of them are too large to use as avatars for this forum. XD

[Senna-Umbreon]

And I haven't updated in like.. FOREVER...

... I'll do that later XD

And eeeeeeee animated sprites! ... *Sadfaces as she finds out Umbreon is slightly too small for an avatar* NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU D: D: D: *Sadfaces even more as she finds out she can't use Raikou or Terrakion either. Or even Shuppet* ;___; *Realizes she can use Haunter, Zangoose or Flareon* ..... YESSSSSSS *Huggles the Haunter and Flareon sprites* ... *Doesn't know which one to use* ...... *Uses Haunter* .... *Flare Blitz'd by Phantom* ... *Correction: Uses Flareon*

[rubybeam]

I used scar since I couldn't get cherrie or ranculus in there ah well if it wasn't him I think nazi wouldve taken it

[Azunara]

Haunter! Speck! <3 I regret killing her off now and then. Still....She died in a way I always would see her dying, protecting another. Best way she could go out.

And I'd take one, but eh. I like my raptor. I'm sure eventually I make a Sol avatar or something and switch. I dunno. *lazy.*

[Kamalia]

Nifty sprites. I combed through them only to find that Blaziken, Gardevoir and Floatzel have too big of a file and Buizels are too small by like FIVE pixels... No new avatar for Kamalia. ;_;

[Makoes]

Nanaki is my forum theme, even thoug ha pokemon would be cool. Though my computer does not co-operate or like that site, things kept freezing or spazzing out for me, though i did get a chance to spot the flygon one SQUUEEEEEEEEEEE!!

[rubybeam]

It happened to me to on internet explorer if you try using a different search thing like mozilla firefox it will work :3


EDIT: I just didn't like the marowak animation...

[KynraWindrunner]

I have Pokémon Heart Gold! My Friend Code is 4855-8985-4867. PM me if you wanna trade or battle. I use Action Replay so I can get you any shiny Pokémon at any level with any item =D

If you're still having problems accessing them, then I can post up some ones you're interested in here. Hopefully with less loading at one time, you won't have as many issues.

Yeah, I'm finding myself a little underwhelmed at the Manectric myself... Which kinda leaves me dry for an avatar of a RP character.
Alas the species of my other characters are too big to use. Oh well, maybe I'll use this as an excuse to think up a new character. Or something. :>

Last I checked, Vaporeon is the right size to use.. Would go nicely with my Flareon XD

You sure? The oens I have are 78kb, 65kb for a back shot.
Which makes me sad. Vaporeon would have been perfect :<

[Senna-Umbreon]

Well, actually... I had the same problem with that site as Makoes, so I ended up finding a different site. http://www.arkeis.com/animatedsprites.html Taa-daaaaa! The front Vaporeon sprite from there should work~

[Moonlost]

Vaporeon GET!
The animation isn't as smooth, but I'm fine with that. Thanks muchly for the second link Senna

[Senna-Umbreon]

:D No problem!

... *Really wishes there was a Smoldereon sprite* .. Aw well, Flareon works XD

Hellos
Yay another friend code to add!...oh, what game is that for btw?
AR's are a lot of fun XD

Yay, thanks for the second site! Works a lot better on my ancient browser of Crashness, its an epic drop.

I've really got to get back to that EV training for my latest team. I'll let you all know when I am done and hopefully you'll let me test it out on you all.

B&W update: Hatched the fire/bug egg and am now leveling the lil one up as I progress through Victory road. Headed to get Terrakion. (the last two only took 7 duskballs between them, I hope this one will be as easy). I might do some soft resets to try for a shiny.

Going to see about getting the Shiny Entei for my games tomorrow with my friend before I head off to visit my dad again for a few nights. the 21st is my Birthday, and my Grandma's to so we try to spend it together.

on an aside note:
Nintendo announced in a press conference that the 3DS will be released on March 27 in America for $249.99. Europeans can expect the new system two days earlier on March 25. The system will be available in two colors: Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black.

Also recently announced was the new FriendCode System that will be used for the 3DS. There will be a single code that is assigned to each console, which will simplify Wifi battling for Pokemon fans. Instead of having a friend code for each Pokemon game, the 3DS will have a single friend code already that will be used for all future Pokemon games.
