    Looking at Lapras's abilities in the games, Water Absorb and Hydration both sound like "warm" abilities. Shell Armor could fit either one, though.

    Maybe cold water Lapras could have Thick Fat or Ice Body? Maybe not the most helpful abilities in battle for them, but they're thematically appropriate at least.

    Join Avenue is awesome. Too bad it involves connecting with games via c pass. Guess an AR will have to be used

    Also, wut? Challenge mode is exclusive to Black 2 and Assist Mode to White 2? Isn't that taking version exclusives a little far?

    I still think both modes should be available at the start on both games >.>

    Still a rough right now (I'm not even done recolouring, let alone shading and the outline), but:

    Slowpoke! I like that family a lot. Slowking is cool, and I recently started warming up to Slowbro.

    But anyhow, looks interesting so far. Just get it all cleaned up, and it should look good.

    Colours placed. Now to fix the outline (the toes. Are glowing) and the shading

    Then off to Reshipoke

    Then Slorem, Black Slorem, and White Slorem

    Then Coslobion, Verslozion, Terraslokion, Slowdeo, Victipoke, Melopoketta...

    Heh. I see it really does pay to be careful with your strategies.

    Speaking of which, a few weeks ago, I watched a few anime episodes. They made me curious about the Generation I Gym Leaders' and Elite Four's teams on Bulbapedia, so I looked them up. The enemy trainers' movesets in RBY... leave something to be desired.

    I know there weren't nearly as many moves back then as there are now, and they wanted to make the difficulty appropriate for younger audiences. But still, you'd think the Elite Four wouldn't still be using Tackle, Growl, and Tail Whip with their Pokémon.

    Pokémon Power Bracket

    Basically, Pokémon.com is holding a voting tournament between the legendaries of the first four generations. The winner will have a "downloadable prize package" (which may or may not include a Wi-Fi event) and a Hot Topic T-shirt themed after them. Each round lasts one week, and you can vote for each matchup once a day.

    I've voted for Raikou, Celebi, Kyogre, Darkrai, Dialga, and Giratina so far. I'm torn between both choices in the other two matchups for this week.
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    How is Jirachi not receiving more votes? It doesn't have many events, after all

    Speaking of Jirachi, it's July 7th today, isn't it? That means today is the Tanabata festival in Japan. In other words...

    Happy Jirachi Day!
  • Jirachi is sweet.


    ..Stupid event only.. (*Grumble grumble*)

    Indeed. Jirachi is just about tied with Celebi for my favorite "Mew archetype" legendary.

    Speaking of which, if I had to rank them in order of my favorites, it would look something like this:

    1. Celebi and Jirachi
    3. Mew
    4-6. Victini, Manaphy, and Shaymin (it kind of fluctuates)
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    I'm not a fan of Manaphy, Celebi, and Jirachi.

    Shaymin is super cool, Mew is gen 1 and therefore flawless a pretty cool guy, and I don't mind Victini.
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    Frictional: I have the Jirachi bonus disc. If I can get a new GBA and a cable to connect it with my Gamecube, I can grind out numerous Jirachi :D

    I have successfully acquired Pokémon Conquest today. Excellent!

    Though judging from my past experience with Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, I'm probably going to suck at it. No matter!

    • Archeops is the only Pokémon that has a base stat total of 567.
      • This makes Archeops the only evolved Fossil Pokémon whose base stat total is not 495.
      • Archeops's base stat total matches its National Pokédex number. It is the only Pokémon to do this.
        • This number is also part of the Dewey Decimal number 567.9; the number for feathered dinosaurs.
    Whoa.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    That's...

    Odd.

    ...That HAD to be intentional

    So, I've reached the second set of three kingdoms in Pokémon Conquest. It's actually quite fun. I'm liking the main characters (even though they aren't fleshed out that much, but hey, this is Pokémon), and I'm looking forward to grinding-- er, building up Pokémon links.

    The battle system is nice, though there is one thing about it that bugs me. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance taught me that attacks are more accurate and/or do extra damage when you attack from the side or behind. This appears to hold true in Pokémon Conquest as well, but they don't let you change which direction you face at the end of your move. You just stand in whatever direction you were moving at the time. :|

    Don't get me wrong, it's still fun, and it hasn't caused me much trouble yet.
  • 2nd White playthrough.

    That's really cool, taking advantage of Prankster like that. Cheap, yes, but still cool.

    Plus, it's a refreshing change from the usual FEAR trick and its relatives.

    Today, I was looking at the action poses of the Pokémon in Conquest. Thinking about the type-themed kingdoms while doing this made me wonder what certain Pokémon would look like if they were mutant individuals with different types.

    It seems to me like there should be another few steps on this path of thinking, but there aren't any.

    I know the anime sucked, but I can't help but look or listen to things like this and suffer a nostalgia attack

    Nothing wrong with that at all. As I've said a few times before, I like to think of it as a cornball show that I watch when I want something silly and fun.

    Speaking of that video, I've still only seen Mewtwo Strikes Back and Jirachi the Wish Maker. I never got around to seeing the Lugia movie.

    Sometimes, I like to listen to "What Kind of Pokémon Are You?" and "2.B.A. Master" for pretty much the same reason. There, I admitted it!

    They use instrumental versions of the songs from that album in Puzzle League. Not much of a surprise since it's based on the anime, but somehow, it's a nice touch.

    It makes the internet a tad more tolerable and cuts down on the nights I cry myself to sleep.

    What's required to make a Brick and Mortar Pokemon event official, anyways?

    Do you just call Nintendo's marketing department or sonething? Do you need to bribe pay a certain amount?

    Tried out Pokemon Brown

    1) WHY IS THERE A MT MOON LENGTH CAVE BEFORE THE SECOND TOWN!?

    2) WHY IS POUND SUPER EFFECTIVE AGAINST ROCK TYPE!?

    3) WHY IS THERE LEVEL 17 MURDERCHU IN FRONT OF THE POKEMON CENTER OF THE SECOND TOWN!?

    Level 4 Vulpix
    Level 7 Geodude
    Level 13 Squirtle
    Level 6 Diglett
    Level 17 Murderchu

    Is my current team

    It slaughtered my Vulpix and Diglett and nearly murdered my Geodude before I caught that fucker (I knew that if I sent out Squirtle it would be roasted)

    By the way, Squirtle wouldn't be so high up in level if that cave wasn't there. I mean, jeez, you can normally beat up enough trainers before the first cave so that you have a bunch of potions and a few repels at least =/

    1) This seems to be a thing in that series of hacks. Pokémon Prism starts you out in that kind of cave. If I recall correctly, you'd have to run away from a whole bunch battles if you don't want a Level 10 Larvitar (yes, that's what the game gives you as a starter) right off the bat.

    2) They must have changed Pound to Fighting-type instead of Normal. I'm not sure I agree with that, either. Just because something sounds like a punch attack doesn't mean it should automatically be Fighting.

    ^ I've played a bit of Prism. That cave wasn't fuckballs long

    Huh. I stand corrected.

    I think what happened was I was worried about murdering the Level 3 wild Pokémon before I could catch them, but Larvitar was Level 7 at the end of the cave, not 10. It's been a while since I tried it out, so those memories must have been muddled. Derp.

    What Pokemon Let's Play would people be interested in?

    Prism isn't completed yet so that's a bit of a no go...
