The villians and rival was terrible...

Oh, come now. Villains and the rival are a teensy part of the game when you compare it to the big picture! You battle 'em only once. The region, on the other hand, is always there to explore! The only region with a vast open water area and the only region with a town floating on water, a town at the foot of a volcano, a town built in the trees, and a grand total of 3 other island towns!
If nothing else, teams Aqua and Magma, the only time two teams have conflicted in any game, are a good laugh. Say, when you first try to enter their secret base and they're standing guard, one of them says
"Our boss is stealing a submarine. Where? I wouldn't tell you something so crucial!" and the one standing next to them says "Our Boss is in Slateport. Why? I wouldn't tell you something so crucial!"

You want terrible villains, look at Team Flare.

They're almost more stupid than this guy.

 

[CynTheTreecko]

Going to be adding people's FCs from here soon, so just a heads up!

 

[TransformerRobot]

Does anyone here think Lysandre's dead?

If he is dead, was he killed instantly when Team Flare HQ fell on him, or did he die overtime from being trapped underground? (Not that he didn't deserve such horrible fates, mind you)

 

[SkyboundTerror]

Figured I'd ask here since I'm having some trouble figuring this out, but what do you guys recommend for Heliolisk: Grass Knot or Surf? I've switched between the two and I've found that at certain times, it'd have been more useful to have one over the other.

The other moves on it are Volt Switch, Thunder, and Focus Blast.

Lol look at Blue Version and tell me those two were uncrucial.
I like those points tho.
But best game has to be the Johto region.

@TransformerRobot
Meh. I prefer Team Flare over those two.
Their plan was to commit mass Genocide.
A bit different from the rest.
Team Aqua/Magma's plans were ridiculous.
You couldn't have more of one without killing yourselves.
Lysandre was another Cyrus.
Which I love very much.

As I asked earlier, do you think Lysandre's dead? Alive? If he did die, was it from the destruction of his own HQ, or was it overtime? He seemed intent on making himself immortal, and last I checked immortal means you can only survive dying from old age, while Lysandre was buried what felt like 600 feet underground.

I'd like to think he is dead due to being crushed but...
This IS pokemon.
Major characters like that doen't usually die.
His status, like Cyrus, is unknown

Figured I'd ask here since I'm having some trouble figuring this out, but what do you guys recommend for Heliolisk: Grass Knot or Surf? I've switched between the two and I've found that at certain times, it'd have been more useful to have one over the other.

I'd go with surf. Ye don't really need grass type for coverage since your electric move's are already strong against water type pokemon. Surf is there for the fire types especially for those sunny day users and drought ninetales. And you can either hit water/ground pokemon with a rain boosted surf or a focus blast. (I am assuming you are using dry skin ability)

Lanturn begs to differ.

(I am assuming you are using dry skin ability)

The problem with using Surf against sun teams is the drop in Water power. I am running Charizard X and Hippowdon, so Fire types and Sunny Day are the least of my worries.

I'll stick with Surf and see how it works out. The only reason I've considered Grass Knot is because of Swampert, Quagsire, and Lanturn's presence (like mentioned above), all three Pokemon being huge threats to my team. I always groan when I see them, though rarely.

And since I'm already here, I'll drop my friend code and add everyone. I'm always up for a battle or two if anyone is down. I'm an addict.

[Alexxx-Returns]

I got a shiny Remoraid from a 2-stage chain fish!

How many stages does chain fishing normally take?

I was actually trying to fish for the Octillery to BEGIN chain fishing, so I didn't expect that. And it broke after the first 3, and then the next 2 got me the purple one ^.^ I'm so happy

EDIT: Make that 2 shiny Remoraids.

dont forget gastrodon. hehe.

if your ability is solar power, it effectively negates the drop in surf's power. and with volt switch, you can negate the hp drop by switching out.

the main reason id choose surf over grass knot is that surf is a more reliable option because water type moves have lesser types that resist it than grass type moves. it also gets a boost from the rain. but you can always have both grass knot and surf if you want. you can swap one of your electric type moves. without rain, thunder becomes much less reliable with low accuracy. (had an online battle once where dragon rush never connected for the 5 times i used it. and its got much higher accuracy than thunder. lol.) and seeing as youre using hppowdon, id prolly swap out thunder for grass knot. or at least changing it to thunderbolt. (unless you have a rain dancer in your team; that and i really dont see much use in sand veil ability, tho the evasion increase and sandstorm immunity is nice)

as for lanturn, i dont think he'd be much of a problem since heliolisk resists electric and with dry skin, he is immune to water type attacks.

So, I was just playing Pokémon Ruby and came across this music again. Oh man, how could I forget music as creepy as this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxwfl_-P2gI

 

[Stratelier]

I picked up a used copy of Ruby yesterday. The person's beaten the E4 and Champion. Now where's Latias?

Heya folks! I'm attempting to fill out my national pokedex at the moment, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out in terms of legendaries, namely Mew, Latios, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza and Jirachi, Uxie, Azelf, Mesprit, Heatran, Regigigas, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Meoletta. :c I don't want to trade for keeps, merely do a tradeback so that I can get the 'dex entry, and I'd of course be willing to help out with any of the legendaries that I have (or any others that you may be missing yourself). Anyone here able/willing to give me a hand?

Excellent, and certainly! I have a fair number of those on hand, and others that should be obtainable. I know I have Wynaut, Mareep, Flaaffy, Garchomp, Wooper, Escavalier, Gastly, Magnemite, Timburr, Larvitar/Tyranitar, Spinarak, Hoothoot, Wigglytuff, Lickilicky and Dragonite available, and I might have more of the others too. Will you be online later today? I suppose around 10:30 p.m your time?

Probably not. I'm free now, and I can only guarantee being free up until 10pm UTC (Which is 9pm my time). I'll be going out in a couple hours, but apart from that I'm free all evening. Bottom line- if you're available now, I am too.
EDIT- Tell you what- when you're ready, send me a PM. If I reply, I'm available.
