Pokemon!

[Lupis]

I lost my Heartgold. This is distressing.

Also, I'm waiting for my friend to bring his DS to school so I can get a shiny Raikou and Suicune, but he's being slow, which means my pokémon are now way outleveling the level 30 'mons he's going to give me. Not that I can really complain, do want shiny legendaries for my team. xD I want to get Terrakion to replace my Cobalion, too, I'm really missing that Rock type and steel isn't doing too much for me.

So, end team will probably be chock full of legendaries. >.> Suicune, Raikou, Terrakion and possibly Reshiram, but I'm unsure about that one. If I replace my Chandelure with it, I can use my Golurk for the ghost type I'd get rid of, but that would also make my Fraxure take a backseat. Maybe I'll grab a Bug type? I'm considering Scolipede, Escavalier and Durant.

You have remarkable taste in Legendaries. XP And yes I approve of the use of a Terrakion. Very much approve. <3

AS FOR BUG TYPES.. I want to say Escavalier, honestly, since while its slow as all hell, and doesn't have the best coverage ever with its moves, it's REALLY powerful. Like, really REALLY powerful. Only issue is that its best move is an egg move, being Megahorn. Luckily it shouldn't be too hard to get a Pokemon to pass it down, since Scolipede gets it at essentially level 1, so you can just evolve a Whirlipede and then have it remember Megahorn. Alternatively, you could just use a Scolipede. It has quite a bit better type coverage, and good speed and attack! Only thing is it doesn't hit even REMOTELY as hard as Escavalier, and doesn't have as good defenses.

...Overall, I'm still gonna say go for Escavalier. It's badass. (I should know! I don't use one myself, but Honey does, and that bug is all sorts of badass. XP)

I lost my Heartgold. This is distressing.

You think you've got it bad? I lost every single DS game I own in one fell swoop. Which included (off the top of my head) Diamond, Pearl, two Platinums, HeartGold, Black, White, and a couple of the Ranger games.

Geebus, I'd cry. I think I just left my Heartgold somewhere and forgot about it. It's probably in my room. >.>

Edit- and thanks for the input, Senna. I'm really torn between those two. I'm leaning towards Escavalier, but bleh, breeding. I have no idea how to do that… detailed, good-player stuff. xD

[Lupis]

Double post. Found my heartgold and made up a team, but I'm stuck on, of all things, Whitney. -.- Now, now I understand why she was so hated in the pokéRP way back when. I have a few choice words for her Miltank. Surprisingly enough, no, I can't hit him a single time when my pokémon is both in love and flinching every. single. turn.

I remember trying to kill that little ------ cow back in Gold/silver.....
I have a feeling I'd hate her even more if I play Heartgold/soulsilver

[Makoes]

I think...that I am one of the few players who has not really had any issues with Miltank. Usually I had a Nidoran/Nidorino with double kick by then to take her out. And when it did get infatuated, I'd switch it out/in again.

Glad you found your Heartgold game!! Slapperfish, how did you lose all your games??

[Lupis]

Oh for the love of Arceus. My Heartgold hates me.

I haven't saved in a while. And now? My entire team is dead in a fight with a gym leader's Gengar... Except a freaking EEVEE. So I can't hit him and he can't hit me. Is there a way to give up, or do I really have to restart?

This is kind of pissing me off. >.>

Edit- oh thank god, it ran out of PP and is using Struggle. Now I can... Not fight him again, because his Shadow Ball does 45 damage a hit.

[Magnakilro]

Figured out what the guy on Route 18 wants. He pays 10k for any Rare Bones you have.

[Makoes]

Ahh, well there we go then.

What are you using for your team now Magna?

[Magnakilro]

my B2 team is still

Agathelos the Emboar

Typhoon the Vaporeon

N's Zoroark

Relic the claydol

Mirage the Flygon

and Blade the Haxorus.

used this 6 as my story team XD

[Lupis]

Because I feel like spamming this thread…

Just realized I need to wait until post-Johto League to get a Sableye. -.- Is there any way I could nab one from someone? Bred or caught, I don't care.

[Makoes]

Thought I'd post this suggestion now to give people a chance to do something with a bit more time then previous holidays. Is anyone up for a Pokemon collaboration for Christmas/New years?

[Senna-Umbreon]

I'd totally be up for it if I wasn't planning on drawing some stuff myself for Christmas and such. >.<;; If I end up having some free time on my hands when I'm not doing those and can spare the time/effort, I can try to whip up something for a collab though!


On a different note, on Saturday, I started playing Conquest again! I think I forgot how awesome this game was. XD

I'm STILL on Keiji's episode, because dang it I'm having too much fun with this one. I'm currently sitting at 97 Pokemon out of 100, so if I'm not careful I'll end up completing it. XD Not that there's a whole lot to do now, since I've long gotten all of the kingdoms. I'm mostly just slowly trying to get everyone their signature Pokemon and such. It's.. Taking a long time. XD

But! I did manage to do one thing that was my absolute dream in this particular episode. Get Terrakion. And I DID. It took FOREVER, though, since first I had to get Keiji a friggen Shieldon, and I swear those things would NOT SHOW UP. They only showed up after I upgraded the areas in the kingdoms they can be in. >.< Took only one battle for it to evolve, but then took forever to get to a link of 70%. IT WAS WORTH IT, THOUGH. Because now Keiji has a badass Terrakion. XD

My main kinda team of awesomeness at this point consists of:
Terrakion (Durr. XD)
Leafeon (Because lol I recruited my player character a while back. She had her Flareon for a while, but then a random wild Eevee appeared in the Fighting type nation, aaand I decided to evolve it into Leafeon. It literally just did, too. Like, five minutes before I came to post this. XD)
Braviary (Because Braviary is badass. And so is Masamune. <3)
Lapras (I swear this Lapras is the most OP thing ever. XD I remember when I played Mitsuhide's episode, this Lapras just FACEROLLED everything. Including one-shotting Nobunaga's Hydreigon almost every single time. So naturally, I had to have it! AndokayIdoloveMitsuhidetooshutup)
Gallade (Okay anyone who knows me well will be slightly confused by this. Since when does Senna like Gallades so much?! Answer is: Since Saturday. I randomly ended up recruiting Kenshin, and well.. This Gallade is really stinkin' awesome. So I kept it. >.>)
Lucario (OKAY FIGHTING TYPES OUT THE WAZOO HERE. Not my fault that I end up with so many of them. At least they share almost no weaknesses with each other. (Besides Lucario and Terrakion's shared Fighting and Ground weaknesses.) But yes, I have a Lucario too. Another odd one, because Lucario is.. Not my favourite Pokemon ever Okay more like I hate its fans it's almost as bad as Charizard if not worse at times but I've been liking this one. Mostly cause it belongs to Ranmaru. Who I also kind of adore. CAN YOU TELL THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY ADORABLE CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME? >.<)

Yeah that's my team. Or my main one. My second main-ish group that I use consists of Samurott (Same one as I had in the main storyline! Yay Motochika and his badass Samurott. <3), Haunter (Because HAUNTER. <3), Froslass (Yup more Ghost types. Funny fact the character who has Froslass is named Aya. In Platinum, I have a Froslass named Aya.), Mismagius (MOAR GHOST TYPES), Golbat and Darmanitan.

I kiiiinda wish I could have kept Hanzo and his Haunter on my main team, since he's been with me since the start of this episode, but.. Urgh. I had to go with the group of characters I have in my main group, just because they're all sorts of awesome. >.> But Hanzo WAS with said main group for a while, so he got some use! I just wish I actually knew how to evolve his Haunter.. I'm absolutely clueless on how to evolve Pokemon that normally evolve via trading. *Flops*


I have like, almost nothing to do in this episode anymore, by the way. I have basically every single Warlord I actually like (And then some!), so I don't.. Really have much to do besides grind the hell out of everything to try and get Pokemon to evolve. >.< I just don't want this episode to end just yet since I'm having so much fun with my main group of Pokemon, though. And because of the way the episode works, I basically have all the time in the world to get people their signature Pokemon and evolve everything and everyone (Or at least as many as I can.). I just have to be careful since I'm THREE POKEMON away from accidentally finishing the episode. >.>

Tiny edit: Uh. Anyone know how to dismiss random people you don't need anymore? Other than the "Hey you recruited someone new and you're trying to put them in a nation that's already full DO YOU WANT TO GET RID OF ANYONE TO MAKE ROOM?" thing. Because just getting rid of someone to get someone new.. Ain't working. I need to get rid of some of the random non-Warlord people I have, since they're making me way too close to 100 Pokemon. Ugh.

[Azunara]

Trying to chain for a shiny starly, just for practice. It took me a bit to figure out how it works, and youtube videos were far more helpful. (Now that I know how it works, it's actually really easy, it just takes patience and being sort of careful.) Of course, I was stupid several times and my highest chain is as of yet five. But I've gotten it down, I just need to remember to stay the hell away from the edges. Bidoofs and kriketots are the bane of me, they just love breaking my progress down. Those bastards.

[Gimlion]

So I've been thinking about making a few themed teams recently. I have a few, such as my Eveelution team, but I've had a few ideas for more.

My first one, is an all Normal-only team. With few weaknesses, as well as a few powerful contenders, I've been considering this team for a while now. I currently have 6/6 slots decided (though still up to change):

Zangoose (Guaranteed)
Snorlax
Slaking
Kangaskhan (Guaranteed)
Miltank (Guaranteed)
Tauros/Bouffalant

Some alternates I've considered are:
Stantler
Ursaring
Porygon-Z
Blissey

I haven't started this team at all yet, so any input would be useful.

My second recently thought of team, is an all bug team. With the intro of Volcarona and Galvantula, the team would be a lot sturdier than in previous generations. My currently planned team is:

Heracross (Guaranteed)
Volcarona (Guaranteed)
Galvantula
Scizor
Shedinja
Yanmega

Considered alternates:
Ariados
Scolipede
Vespiqueen
Escavalier
Armaldo

Again, not a ton of work has been done for this team, so any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated.

I too have found out I am a bug Pokemon trainer.. Dont know why just am..

Scolipede is my main baby, his name is Loki :3
Volcarona and Scyther are my other two favorites.
Then I have my Leavanny and my Genesect.
Then my creepy little Shedinja. xD

[Senna-Umbreon]

Soo update on my Pokemon shenanigans..

Recently I've been trying to get some of my older Pokemon characters in Black. (Plus some that belong to one of my best friends. <3) That's 14 Pokemon in total. Yuuuup.

The Pokemon I need for this project: Linoone, Gengar, Vaporeon, Houndoom, Raichu, Swellow, Medicham, Arbok, Ninetales, Espeon, Umbreon, Mightyena, Gardevoir and Floatzel. (*Cough* People who watch me on dA miiiight have an idea of who these guys are. XD)

BECAUSE I AM THOROUGHLY INSANE. >.>

I started this project last.. Monday, I think. I've gotten only.. 5/6 so far. I say maybe 5 because I'm debating whether to use the Gastly I currently have or try and get a different one. (Hell may do the same for my Zigzagoon. Urf, she has bad Speed IVs.)

AND SPEAKING OF GASTLY. The one I do have and am debating using?

He's Shiny.

On Wednesday night, I had been going along hatching Gastly, as I had been doing for the last three days. I was.. Not having fun, needless to say. The little jerks hated me and were just endlessly TROLLING me. Because I needed a specific Hidden Power (Ice), and it had to have a good base power. Hardly any of them had HP Ice and any that did.. Well, the power stunk.

So I'm just going along, hatching Gastly.. An egg starts to hatch, and I only barely acknowledge it, being absorbed in reading something on my iPad, when I glance back at my DSi. And there, floating in the hatching screen.. Is a Gastly with blue gas. Not purple. Blue.

A Shiny.

Neeedless to say I flipped out. XD He's so pretty! I've ALWAYS wanted a Shiny Gastly, because they're just so beautiful and I just ahdhgfjlfl love Gastly anyway. XD And I RANDOMLY HATCHED ONE. He's the first random Shiny I've EVER hatched. Ever. and he's a GASTLY. Not only that, while he doesn't have the EXACT nature I was aiming for (Hasty, not Timid), he still has the right characteristic (So 31 IVs in Special Attack.), so.. He's actually sort of usable. If I ignore his.. Not-so-stellar Speed IVs (Which are like something around 13 or something stupid like that.), he's pretty much perfect. Even if I'd rather he had a Timid nature because it's better, the combination of a Hasty nature and Mischievous characteristic makes him absolutely PERFECT for the Gengar character I have. XD I'm still debating whether to use him or not, since a part of me doesn't want to evolve him or, you know, use a Shiny for an-up-to-now non-Shiny character (Graaanted both me and my friend have always imagined him being a lot darker in colour, quite a bit more like Shiny Gengar. Not that I've made that obvious the times I've drawn him recently but shush), but a part of me also REALLY WANTS TO USE THE LITTLE JERK just because AFHHGFLLGK what else would I do with him?! And I'm sick of hatching Gastly anyway. XD

Annoyingly enough, he has Hidden Power Ice. With a base power of 47. Figures. >.> But I figure that since HP Ice was really only there to, well, murder things that are 4x weak, I can teach him Icy Wind instead, since while its 55 base power ain't the best around, it's better than 47. XD


Anyway. I've been having an interesting time getting all these Pokemon. I figure it'll be easier now that I've gotten all the ones that were supposed to have Hidden Power. (My Pichu decided to like me and show up pretty soon. His HP Ice has 66 base power. <3 Unlike my stupid Houndour. In the end I decided to just say "screw it" and give him Hyper Voice instead. >.> Or SolarBeam if I use him along with my future Drought Ninetales.)

I don't really even have fully planned.. Teams for these guys. Like, some of them kinda suck (Mightyena and Linoone come to mind, sadly..) and this group wouldn't know TYPE DIVERSITY IF IT BIT THEM IN THE ASSES >:C But I love them anyway, because all of these guys are my original amazing and very beloved Pokemon OCs. <3 (Barring two, that belong to my best friend who I've known since I was 7. I love those characters too, of course~ <3)
