Pokemon!

[Makoes]

Terrikion has always reminded me of an Ox, albiet slightly modified like any other pokemon.

Forgot to recharge my DS, so now its doing that. will try the GTS later and see if anything new shows up.

[Azunara]

Hmm. Dawn Scour Team?

*looks at her Dusk Rescue Team, then at the Dawn Scour Team.*

THE DUSK IS BETTER. *runs off cackling, hugging Sol, Buzzard and Lark.* Soundwave used to be part of the team, along with Isaac, but I left them behind. ;_;

(I still love the fact I gave the Dawn a name and started them...And ended up becoming Dusk and siding with them in the end. I'm not sure what it says about me. )

Updates, I guess:

Haven't actually messed with anything. >.< I think I may restart my Soul Silver, because I just don't like where I'm going with the team. I feel all meh towards it. Augh. So indecisive.

[Senna-Umbreon]

NEVEERRRRRRRR, THE DAWN IS BETTER! *Also runs off cackling, hugging the Dawn Scour Team*

(... And what's ironic is how I ADORE the basic idea of the Dusk, yet I was never able to keep a character as Dusk XD)

[Azunara]

Scarab was a waaaay better leader than Chomp was. Face it. The Dawn were constantly at each other's throats. The Dusk were kept as a cohesive unit and totally stuck together.

And the Dawn totally fell apart when Solara left. They lost a healer and a heavy fighter. The only reason Dawn won was because of the cure. Otherwise Dusk would win. (That, and OOCly, it would pretty much involve killing or Dusking everyone. Those of us that were Dusk, or at least Lupis and I when we talked about, realized the Dawn had to win. Pity.)

[Senna-Umbreon]

Oh, like it's totally Chomp's fault that a lot of the Dawn seem to have slight.. Problems. *Pokes Ghost, only to get finger bitten off* See?! She bit me! Her Trainer/creator!!! *Flails around, while Ghost watches, thinking "What a complete idiot..."*

Besides, you can hardly compare the Dawn and the Dusk. They were really quite different. One had to face their own friends in battle.. The other? They were convinced their friends hated them so they were GLAD to go on a mass murdering spree. Of course the Dawn was failing immensely, over half of them were falling apart at the seams emotionally. They were amazingly stressed out. I'm pretty sure most large groups mostly made up of emotionally broken people would constantly be practically mauling each other!

[Azunara]

Mmm. I suppose. I still think the Dusk are cooler, if only because they're underloved. No matter what happens, the Dusk can't win. Without fail, the Dawn/Sunrise will ALWAYS win, not because IC reasons, but because nobody would like it if they're chars were doomed to die or be Dusk, cause not everyone (can't see why. ) would want to be Dusk. Heh.

Anyways, whatever happens, what happened, happened. Not much one can do. And if you ask me, I kind of like what happened to Sol. She was doomed to her insanity anyways. I just can't wait till we find the mirror. *taps fingers together, grinning demonically.* Oh my psyceon, how I have -plans- for you.

[Lupis]

Meh, both had their merits. Obviously, I loved the Dusk. The Dawn were great, but I think playing the characters I did rather forced me to prefer the Dusk. xD

I'm with Azu on the 'Having plans for characters' thing. xD Ooooh, Buzzard...

[Kira]

Y'all are making me miss Delora for some reason. Grah.

And Ikis....I Love playing villans, and he was like, my favorite.

Anyway. Pokemon wise, I'm so excited for black and white this weekend! I'm off at 7 on Sunday morning so I'm going to go home, sleep for a couple hours, then...crap, I can't get a drive to my store! Ugh....I'll take the bus then! Must get the games!

Not really to do with pokemon but I also preordered Okamiden for later in the month...I will Completely disappear when that game comes out, from boards and possibly in wow too. Chibiterasu! *Girly squeal*

[Azunara]

I don't get to play Black or White till August (My birthday) so I'm not really that excited.

Ikis was pretty awesome.

*high-fives Lupis, looks around shiftily, grins demonically.* I am, arguably, evil. Or insane. Or both.

[Moonlost]

Hmm, Terrakion being based of a Cattle makes sense. *Dubs it so*
((Interesting info, an Ox is just a cattle (usually a castrated bull) that has been raised and trained for draft purposes, as opposed to a seperate species. *The more you know*))

And on the topic of Dusk vs. Dawn. I'm gonna have to say Sunrise.
The Dawn were pretty unorganised up until the very end, with constant infighting tearing the group appart.
The Dusk started out as meadering, savage beasts, but turned into a zealous army, determined to kill any who did not support their way of thinking.
The Sunrise was more abotu surviving, and finding the cure to the Dusk. Yes, they had some issues, but those were only a few individuals.

Dr. Insins was the coolest character though. *nods*

[Azunara]

*pries mauled self off the ground.* I...I stopped Sol from...eating Kam...Avenge me...

*falls over, remembers the whole druid thing and heals self.*

In all seriousness, I liked the Sunrise. It was neat to have a third faction, especially because nothing like a three-way hate cycle. I never honestly would've imagined them either, it took the RP to new directions. (And brought up some awesome relationships. I think Sol wouldn't quite be who she was without Kam to really help her over the edge.)

Let's see...I'll admit, I never, ever, ever would've put Speck with the Dusk, no matter how much I loved them. She's...just not much of a Dusk. Ivika is kind of the same way, I couldn't see among them.

[rubybeam]

I was about to say sunrise was better than dawn or dusk, but seeing how thats clarifyed my jobs done here

[Senna-Umbreon]

So, in a last ditch effort to keep myself from dying from waiting for Black and White.. I have decided to get a head start on one of my side teams I'm planning for Pokemon Black..

What is that team, might you ask? Well, remember how I mentioned a few weeks back about my idea of a team consisting of five Pseudo's and a Reshiram? Well, that's the team I'm meaning. So, to keep myself busy.. I shall work on training the four that I can get now; Garchomp (<3 <3 <3), Salamence, Tyranitar (Tyranitaaaar~ <3) and Metagross (Who, unfortunately, shall not be Shiny >.<)


SO YUS. To be honest, I'll probably just end up training Garchomp for now.. I JUST WANT TO TRAIN A FREAKIN' GARCHOMP, DARNNIT. But yeah, I guess I'll be training the darn Landshark while waiting for Black and White.

... And of course, my Reshiram plushie will be right there with me the whole time XD

[Felidire]

I really like Reshiram, which is rare for me because it's not very often that I like Ubers.. I wanted black but assumed that he came with pokemon white and I was disappointed, white forest looked better than the city as well, so as I was pre-ordering pokemon white I realized the black thing was on the cover.. I spazzed, canceled the page before the order went through and then ordered black instead. xD

It gets released on the 10th in Australia so I ordered one from the UK which gets shipped on the 3rd (It'll probably arrive around about the same time..) Soo yeah I'll get an Australian 3DS and check if European games are compatible - Seeing as NA/EU/AUS all have different release dates I figured it's better to get a console that can (hopefully) play both AUS and EU games, at least that way (excluding Japan) there's a 2/3 chance that I can order a game as soon as it's released.

Wow, I have the PMD blue: Sky Tower- music burned to a disc, playing on my dual sub-woofer monster stereo that's normally used for heavy metal. (See, the heavy metal is just a front, this is what we secretly listen to when the house is empty and no one's around.) xDD
</nerd>

Edit: lol now it's playing the First Battle - Colosseum music. <33

[Makoes]

I dont know what the hype is with B&W...I mean, i beat the game like a month ago. Waiting for the next game to come out...Grey?
lol j/k yeah, i was more impatient then most of you
But Really, I am psy'd about finally being able to play the game in English and find out what the heck was going on!!

i've been havinf a lot of fun with Zoroak's illusion ability. So much fun, I cant wait to be able to use it on the next PBR type game they come out with for this new generation!!

[Felidire]

At first I couldn't get my hands on a patched version of the game and then I just figured "screw it, i'll wait.." What's his ability like? is there anything that gives away that it's him or does the name/form change before he appears on the field? xD

I'm already digging through all the lovely changes, trying to figureout how I can make pokemon on this version. They sure changed a lot of the hex stuff around and things like the dreamworld ability makes it confusing. =x

[Makoes]

whenever you send him out, he appears as the last pokemon in your party, but retains his own attacks. Nothing asides from that gives away that its really Zoroak, except as soon as he gets hit with an attack, he reverts to his true form.
Not sure if this happens when he recieves damage, or if its any attack agains him...hmmm I should go test that...

[Felidire]

I'm pretty sure that's only from direct damage, not things like sandstorm. That sounds pretty cool, though. I'm betting a lot of people will be using him, I might give him a try...

Although things aren't really looking good for me.. Umbreon.. Houndoom.. Tyranitar... Now the two I like the most in B/W are Liepard and Zoroark.. that's 5 dark types, maybe I should just cram them all into a team and try work something out to make it viable...

Also, some of these dreamworld abilities are really overpowered... Serperior gaining +2 s.atk each time it uses leaf storm was a good example, whoever linked that. I saw a fish with like 530 HP that regains 150hp each time it switches out, there's probably loads of them

All umbreon gets is lousy Inner Focus, in fact most of my favourites got totally shafted. xD

But they are YOUR favorites, so they're awesome

[Felidire]

Yeah they're my favourites, so i'm stickin' with em against the odds. x3

But when you compare all these gen 5 pokemon to gen 1, 2 and some of 3 and 4, the stats/abilities/movepools are crazily unbalanced.. If they release another Wii game with a random online battle mode, just watch how badly these new pokemon thrash most of the old ones. ><;
