Title: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-11 16:21:05
It should have its own topic, so we don't potentially hijack another if friend codes/trades/battles happen.
Anyone who plays make sure to get their Mew?  It's going on till the 24th.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 16:29:14
Already have mine. And I picked up a second card today
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-11 16:30:45
I need to get on it, myself.  Figure I'll go this weekend.
They have a lot left when you went, Blurr?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 16:31:24
yeah they have plenty left. The second card I got wasn't even for me. It's for my nephew.

You play a lot Kyrl?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-11 16:34:20
Been playing since gen 1 :P
Recently not so much, I sort lost interest around 3, then got back into it again during 5.  I finally completed my pokedex on White-2.
Gen 3 remakes made me lose interest again but I wouldn't pass up a legit mew.

Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 16:35:08
gen 6 is too awesome
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-02-11 16:52:34
what about mew im trying to get it.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 17:02:20
Gamestop is having an event for generation 6 players. Go in, ask for a special mew code card, and they'll give you one
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-02-11 17:06:07
Ah nice i might go and do that since mew is hard to get.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 17:07:13
yup. I begged on tumbllr for a mew using shinies as a lure.

It worked. Then I used mew again as a lure for new shinies.

Now I have another mew. Not gonna use it as a lure
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-02-11 17:08:50
I dont have mew yet which is a shame as i got mewtwo.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 17:11:15
Mewtwo isn't that hard to get anymore
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-02-11 17:15:22
i know mewtwo is a good Pokemon but i prefer mew.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 17:16:41
All I need is a Genesect to complete my dex once and for all....at least until volcanion comes out
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-02-11 17:18:10

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 17:22:32
yeah thanks to the GTS legendaries are super easy to get
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-02-11 17:24:27
umm whats the GTS
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 17:29:31
Global Trading System

Pretty much you just put a pokemon up for grabs, ask for a certain one in return, and then wait and see if people take it.

Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-11 21:37:36
Ooh, a Pokemon discussion.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-11 21:38:03
I'm gonna get a 3DS soon, so maybe soon I can join you guys in battles and stuff :D
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-11 21:39:49
I'm not sure if I should encourage you or tell you to wait for whatever big announcements are coming this month.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-11 21:45:56
Eh?
Oh I'm not buying it. Fuck that.
My friend at the con is going to give me one.

I miss my battles with PPP. Her bird team was hard to beat
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-11 21:49:35
Free is best then.  Get X/Y, they're a lot of fun.
Perfect timing too
http://www.pokemon20.com/en-us/mythical.html

If you need starters I can breed them with eggmoves.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-11 21:53:11
I breed for shinies
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-11 22:06:06
Yep, he's giving me X to go with it.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Suhweet!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-11 22:16:18
I know right??
He's honestly such a sweet guy.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-11 22:22:41
That's pretty awesome.
Sweet guys never give me anything  :P
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-11 22:24:52
Lel, he's technically my boss (for a fan animation project). I've just helped him through really rough patches and I guess he feels he owes me? I don't know, I tried to not take the gift, but he insisted haha.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-11 22:34:15
That's really nice of him then.
I don't know what the last generation you played was but X/Y is a really comfy chapter in pokemon.  It's not difficult, the region is based on Paris, and there is a lot of online support, but its not nearly as necessary as it was with White/Black.  Berry growing is back too.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-11 23:03:54
Berry growing was gone??
I last played Platinum.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-11 23:07:09
In Gen5 you had to log into the dreamworld to grow berries, then send them back to your game over internet.  It was a little tedious.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-12 06:15:11
Whaaaat?
That's stupid.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: mysteryserpent on 2016-02-12 08:04:10
Cool topic! =)

A website called Serebii has a lot of information on a lot of different pokemon topics.

Jwittz is a youtube guy that's hilarious to watch but he's also very enjoyable and knowledgeable about different pokemon stuff...like the best and worst kinds of poke balls, random pokemon facts, and what some good and not so good pokemon games are in his opinion. It's a really fun youtube channel! :)
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: mysteryserpent on 2016-02-12 08:05:58
https://www.youtube.com/user/TheJWittz/videos is his channel XD
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Berry growing returns in gen 6
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-02-12 10:54:12
well its a shame i got Pokemon y and not x that's why my 3DS is red but im trying to catch a shiny pikachu than evolve it into a raichu i already got a raichu lv 100 raised by myself.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-12 11:28:53
Once everyone has their Gen6 stuff squared away we should share FCs or whatever they're called now.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-02-12 11:48:36
yeah thier called friend codes and that does sound like a good idea.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-12 13:29:53
Oh hey that sounds super cool, MS! I'll give him a watch, see if he's interesting :)
And yeah, when I get my game I'll share my FC.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-12 14:10:15
Cool topic! =)

A website called Serebii has a lot of information on a lot of different pokemon topics.
Marriland is pretty good too.  I use them both back when I really into it.
I wish there was an app or something that reminded you about events.  I went to gamestop yesterday and they're out of Mew cards.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-12 14:58:27
I would love to share my friend code with all yall I haven't yet. I haven't battled in a LOOOOOONG time
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: mysteryserpent on 2016-02-12 15:24:33
List some personal favorite pokemon! :D with over 700 to chose from there are many choices. It is hard to choose just a few XD

I love dragonair, Gardevoir's line, Latias/Latios, budew and the evolutions roselia and roseraid :), fennekin and their evolutions, and of course the powerful mewtwo :D arbok and serperior too for obvious reasons with my username ;). Lopunny and Lucario too!

One pokemon that is not very common is Quilava :) gold/silver were amazing games :D
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-12 15:28:47
My all time fave pokemon, Charizard. hands down. no conest. Always. Forever. Til the end of time itself.

MUDDAFUCKIN CHARIZARD!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-12 15:41:49
Really?
Charmander is cute though. Whatevs.

I gotta really think hard about this.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-12 15:50:42
yes really.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: mysteryserpent on 2016-02-12 15:56:49
Charizard is the classic King over all. I loved and still love the design. When a female Charisse's in the show kicked ash's charizard's butt in a battle one episode I was hooked on both charizard characters. The pokemon cards are awesome looking, in game charizard's usefulness is good to me, and not to mention those nostrils just beg to have something tease them ;) I still remember catbutt and her awesome charizard sneezy thing.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-12 16:07:53
I don't think I could pick a favorite, I like way too many of them. 
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-12 16:18:12
Hehe, that was pretty cool.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: mysteryserpent on 2016-02-12 20:17:35
I don't think I could pick a favorite, I like way too many of them.

It's really hard to narrow down to just one. I like the way you think! :)

Maybe name some of the ones you like, like examples of 2 or 3 in each gen.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-12 20:55:39
Okay, out of the Eevee's, Jolteon is my favorite. He's my main man, has never left my party. Even if I've had to make room for an egg, he has never left my party since he evolved. According to his summary he has a very relaxed personality. And it makes me wish I was good at drawing because I'd totes draw him chilling while the two Vulpix I have play around him (I call them the Vulpix Twins, actually, since they hatched just a few steps apart from each other.) But alas, I'm not good at art T_T

I think Leafeon and Umbreon are gorgeous pokemon, but I've never gotten an Umbreon, and my Leafeon's have never really been that effective. I use to use my Flareon quite often, but I grew more attached to my Jolteon.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 09:14:05
I actually have every eeveelution in their shiny form
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 09:25:23
:O
Seriously?? Did you get them through trading or did you breed all of them?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-02-13 09:32:59
well my favorites are easy to know lol.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 09:52:43
I got them through trading/tumblr giveaways
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 10:04:25
Ah. Cheater :P
I'm kidding.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 12:12:32
I need to catch up on the anime
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-13 12:15:51
I really want to attempt playing with nothing but Eeveelutions someday.
Even though he sucks, Flareon is my favorite. 
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 12:18:48
I like Espeon
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 12:42:27
Really? Flareon is pretty cool.

And really? I never liked Espeon that much.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 12:44:18
Espeon is a great battler with a variety of moves that can be learned.

Plus its shiny form is awesome
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 12:45:59
Hm, eh. Jolteon is my bae.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-13 12:47:36
Flareon is a mediocre pokemon in the stat department, especially for a single type.  But it's so fluffy.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 12:48:54
Is it really?
I've never payed attention to that stuff. I just beat the shit out of everything.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 12:55:25
Yeah when it comes to battling nowadays, Flareon isn't the best fire type
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 13:19:28
Ah. Well, I know that. I had my Magmortar. Or the evolution of Magby. I traded her with my friend to get the final evolution, but his game froze and I lost one of my best fire fighters.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 13:20:46
It's Magby -> Magmar -> Magmortor.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 13:24:18
Yeah, that's it. I lost my Magmar. I think I cried.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 13:25:26
That HAAAAAAS to suck. If you want I have a shiny one that I'm not using.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 13:52:31
Really?
That would be nice.
But yeah, the nostalgia was strong with that one. She helped me beat the elite four.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 13:54:11
Sure. Its yours. Lemme know when you get your game and we'll do business.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 14:27:11
Aw! Thanks Blurr! That's awesome!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 14:30:15
I also have a few more I'm not using that you can have. Like a growlithe
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 14:48:46
Oh cool.
I have a good Growlithe.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 14:55:23
cool
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 14:57:51
So excited!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 15:09:57
And even more so, the original games will be available for 3ds download soon. GOING  BACK TO THE PAST!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-13 15:10:47
I can breed pretty much anything you'd like, Leap.  Starters especially.
I think you'll really like wondertrade in the new games.  You send a pokemon out and randomly get another one from someone, from anywhere in the world.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 15:12:38
Wondertrade, yeah that is fun. And then you can link your game to the net and do all sorts of stuff with the points you get from all the online activity you do. You can use those points to get rare items that you can't get in the games. Like tons of rare candies, hard to find pokeballs, etc etc
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 15:21:56
Wow! That's super cool!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 15:28:29
Hell yeah it is. I have like 99 rare candies or something
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 15:46:36
I once had a ton of those things.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 15:49:31
Yeah you can even get legit masterballs using this stuff
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 15:58:47
Wow, cool. I have a shit ton of those.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 16:05:39
really?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 16:07:18
Master balls? Yeah.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 16:09:27
how?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 16:15:09
I just got a bunch.... Why?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 16:16:13
Usually having more than one masterball outside gen 6 is pretty rare.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 16:22:58
Really? Hm.

Leap there any starters you want?  Or any pokemon for that matter?
I can get them in eggs for ya so when you start your game I can send you the eggs.  They'll hatch and you'll be the trainer so no problems with them disobeying.  It works for everything but legendary pokemon.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 17:55:08
^Yeah plus I have a bunch of specially breeded pokemon built for battling.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 18:04:09
Wow really? Cool. Um I don't know why starters there are.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 18:06:29
Gen 1:
Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle

Gen 2:

Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile

Gen 3:

Treeko, Torchic, Mudkip

Gen 4:

Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup

Gen 5:

Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott

Gen 6:

Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-13 18:12:00
Wow really? Cool. Um I don't know why starters there are.
Think of 5 of your favorite pokemon.  You get to pick one starter from gen 6 anyhow so if you'd like to fill your team out, we can make eggs of them so you have a full team for your adventure.  Assuming you want to do that, that is.  I did it for White 2 it was a lot of fun raising an entire team.  I had:

Charmander, Joltik, Oshawott, Deino, Turtwig, and Beldum

Getting one for the gen 3 remake was great.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Do you have Cyndaquil?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 18:33:52
I Do
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-13 18:35:44
I do.  It would be born with Flamethrower, Wild Charge, Aerial Ace, and Swift.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 18:45:56
Oh, interesting. How do you know what moves it would be born with?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-13 18:49:34
When you breed them certain moves pass to the child from the parents (used to just be the male, now its both).  Egg moves and TMs will all pass to the child.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 18:51:41
right now I'm trying to breed a shiny Zubat that knows Brave Bird
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 18:52:22
Oh cool.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 18:53:49
and if you give the parent an everstone, the nature will carry on as well
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-13 18:58:03
The nature?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-13 18:59:03
A nature is something that can tribute to a pokemon's stats. Like if its Modest, then attack goes up and speed goes down a bit
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Oh, that's what you mean. Okay

Wait, what Gen is X?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-14 09:33:41
X / Y and Alpha / Omega are Gen 6.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-14 10:02:49
I'd probably take Fenekin as my starter once I get the game.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-14 14:38:36
I took chespin as mine the first time I started. then Froakie when I reset. I still have the chesnaught saved on my Omega Ruby theough
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Cool.

Yeah. So far only 4 of my shinies belong to me as their first ever owner. One of them I got through a special event when new Hoenn came out. A shiny Beldum. Then in order, I hatched a shiny Fenneken, then a Bagon, and then a Shinx. All of them are now fully evolved.

So in Gen6 TM moves don't breed into eggs.  So working on re-structuring my starter breeding pairs.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-15 00:24:56
and in gen6 tm's can be used over and over. Wonder what brought on that change
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-15 00:29:09
I think you answered your own question.  They prob figured if you can spam a TM it wasn't necessary for breeding anymore.

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-15 16:07:58
TM's. Those items you get in the games that you use to give pokemon a certain move? Remember?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-15 16:35:10
I know that >_>
I meant what is Kyrl is talking about. Like, what about breeding?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-15 16:40:37
Moves that can be taught from TM's can no longer be transferred to babies when breeding. I think that's what he means
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-15 16:49:25
Oooh. Okay, I get it.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-16 16:20:08
I didn't realize you couldn't pass on TM moves to eggs anymore, so I've been rebreeding my starters to have proper movesets when they hatch.
Wondertrade has been flooded with Charmanders while I try to get female ones.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-02-16 16:25:00
Wondertraded is always flooded with starters and Eevee's

I really love wondertrade, especially when I get junk in return (think this batch of 30 something I got a few magikarps and a lot of early game bird and bug pokemon) cause I feel like I'm really helping someone out.

Not only are we one more day away, but just today, two new Pokemon games were announced to come out this year. Pokemon Sun, and Pokemon Moon.

So what's it gonna be guys? Solar Empire or Lunar Republic?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-26 12:20:45
Tough one....
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-26 14:07:35
I don't understand why people call it the "Lunar Republic". It's not a republic if Luna is to be the princess.
But whatever. I have no idea, maybe Sun?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-02-26 14:26:38
Probably to sound nicer than the solar empire, the terms were coined way back during the Tyrantlestia days.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

I don't question things. I just get on board.

I know. It's why it bugs me. What bugs me more is the people who fall into it.

Anyway, I look forward to new games once I get my new 3DS :D
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Bird on 2016-02-26 17:24:34
I'm sooo excited for Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon! The most difficult part will definitely be deciding which one to get (as it is every year, but I LOVE the names for both of these). I'm hopefully going out and finally getting a new 3DS tomorrow.

People would legit lose their shit if they were.
I'm having a tough time picking now.  I liked Luna first but Celestia I grew to really like.
Not that any of this has any bearing on the games of course *shifty eyes*

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-06-07 19:27:13
Oh and it gets even funnier! The Moon mascot is a psychic/ghost type. So what does that make it weak to?

DARK!! The moon is weak to dark!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-06-07 19:37:25
Heh, that's kinda funny.
But Dark in Pokemon doesn't mean like, night in terms of Pokemon right? At least, I always too it to mean Dark as in like, dark themed. Like morbid?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: 1234 on 2016-06-07 19:46:14
Wait-wait-wait, let me get this straight.

The sun is weak to fire, and the moon is weak to dark.

...HOW?! O_o Somebody tell me how that works, because I don't know how that works and I would really like to know how that works.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-06-07 20:49:48
They have ruinued the new Pokemon game in my opinion.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-06-07 21:00:06
Dark in pokemon seems to mean fighting underhanded or dirty.  Biting, sneak attacks, curses, things like that.  I take this is also why it's weak to fighting.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-06-07 21:11:41

Well I wouldn't say ruined. It's a bit odd mythologically speaking but it could still turn out to be a great game
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-06-07 21:11:43

Are you for real? I think it's clever. It subverts expectations.

And yeah what Kyrl said. I never took dark to mean night. I guess the game designers didn't either.

It's not that bad honestly, if just that ruins the game for you, just that small thing, did you really want to play the game? I mean to me, hat just seems petty.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-06-07 21:18:32
Also in regards to the 'sun pokemon' being weak to fire...lets look at the dex entry/description:
"Since ancient times, Solgaleo has been honored as an emissary of the sun. It is referred to with reverence as “the beast that devours the sun.” Solgaleo's body holds a vast amount of energy, and it shines with light when it's active. It has a flowing mane with a remarkable resemblance to the sun."

They're referencing the symbol for purifying metals from alchemy, which is a green lion devouring the sun.  That's why he's steel/psychic
(https://distillatio.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/green-lion-eating-the-sun.jpg)

Hardly a game breaker, I applaud them for thinking outside the box.

Edit: Lunala has it's origins in alchemy too, mainly the belief that the moon, being a source of moisture, releases aqua merifica, a liquid believed to extract souls from the body and give bodies life and soul.  So there's your ghost/psychic reasoning.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-06-07 21:30:27
Wow! That's super creative, I never would have thought. I wouldn't have expected it to have meaning in something else. I'm kind of excited for the new Pokemon that are going to be introduced now if the legendaries had this thought put into them.

not in the recent games you cant

Seriously? That's stupid.
I did have two Arceus somehow (don't ask I don't even know how it happened), I could just trade it to my new game.

If I had one...
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-03 19:58:54
In the recent games you can catch a lot of legendaries but a few of them are strictly event only. Like Mew, Shaymin, Manaphy, etc etc.

yea the 2km eggs tend to be trash.   I'm working on a 10km egg, we'll see how that goes.
Either way you get a lot of stardust so its still worth it.

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Yup.  Driving doesn't work either and neither does shaking the phone to trigger steps.  It's GPS based and cuts off if you're faster than 15 mph.

Yes.  It uses your GPS location.  It tracks you... it follows and knows you.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Gosh darn it. So I wouldn't be able to play it here :/

Also, does it count steps you take when you don't have the game open? Or does the game have to be open for your steps to count?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-07-10 15:38:17
You don't need wifi, phone data works ok. 
Game needs to be running and it doesn't count steps, it tracks gps.
To the earlier comment, different types of land mean different pokemon.  I found two Dratini's in a park on a bridge near a river, and about 5 psyducks.

The most common pokemon in NJ have been ratattas, venonats and pidgeys.  So you're not far off :D
But if you go park walking, whats really awesome is even the rural trails are marked on the pokemon go map and you find lots of stuff.

Greeeeaaaaat, the Pokemon types I don't like XD Oh Jersey. But I live in a rural area, and go through backwoods area for my running trail. Maybe this app will now encourage me to go out running more often.

How do you go about finding eggs?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-07-11 09:47:13
You get eggs from Pokestops.  They're fairly common.  They either take 2,5 or 10km to hatch. 
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-11 12:23:34
You go to a pokestop, and then swipe the circle icon to make it spin. Items will fall out and every so often you'll find an egg. They either take 2k, 5k, or 10k to hatch.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-11 20:27:29
Went riding around a local park today. Caught some new pokemon and that 10k egg I had finally hatched....into a Magmar. So yeah I'm happy about that.

To hatch an egg, you actually have to walk too. :)

Local parks are your friend for this game btw. I go to mine every so often to hunt, got some good finds. Plus I snagged a jolteon on the way to work

Finally released in the uk I managed to get about 6 eggs one is 10km and 4 are 5km and one is 2km so I got some progress in a couple of hours.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-14 13:34:39
Wow, I got the game too and I'm not that good.
Can you do battles with wild Pokemon in this game? Or can you only throw balls at them?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-14 16:33:55
only balls.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-14 16:50:59
Awwwww. That's kind of lame.

Anywho, I caught the pedo Pokemon. Which was a pretty sweet find.

I be going on a Pokemon hunt soon to catch some more as I got 100 pokeballs and need to hatch that 10km egg also stop at some pokestops on the way.

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-14 20:11:24
Just a tip. Spending money to buy more pokeballs is a waste. There's pretty much an endless supply of balls in the pokestops. Just hit up enough in a day and you'll be golden. I just got back from my own hunt today.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-14 20:15:09
Cool. I don't spend money in games.
How do you go about getting the golden Pikachu coins?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-07-14 20:16:21
Well it's still night for me so I can't start yet but yeah visit like 5 pokestops but I got 100 Pokemon balls anyways so I got some.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-14 20:18:08
But night time pokemons!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-14 20:24:09
golden pikachu coins HAVE to be bought unless you do this.

Get up to level five, get some high level pokemon, then leave that pokemon at a gym. If you remain undefeated for a while, you'll get some coins but not a lot.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Also, what's a pokestop module?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-14 20:31:40
a lure module is someting you can only activate at a pokestop. Pretty much what it does is lure nearby pokemon to that location. other players benefit from it too
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-14 20:33:21
Oh. How does one go about doing that?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-14 20:33:45
Also here is another tip:

You may be tempted to not bother with all the pidgeys and rattatasyou find. Don't trust that instinct. If you see a buttload of pidgeys in your area. Get them all. Cause here's the thing. Pidgeys and Rattatas don't take a lot of poke candies to evolve. and every pokemon you evolve is 500 experience points. so the birds and rats may not be useful in a battle, but they can get you up in levels REALLY fast.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-14 20:34:39
Oh. How does one go about doing that?

First you need to have a module. Second. Hit a pokestop. When you zoom in on it there should be a button in between the circle and the title of the pokestop. Press it, and then press the module to activate it.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-14 20:35:44
Huh that's cool. I've kind of just been catching everything I find XD
What's the point of these Pokemon having moves if you can't battle with them?
Or can you actually battle with your pokemons?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-14 20:36:13
Need to have a module. Do you just find that, or do you need to buy it?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-14 20:43:07
You CAN battle pokemon. You just have to find a gym to do it at. And when you do, be warned. It's not a turn based battle system. Tap the shit out of your phone to attack repeadetly, hold down for your stronger attack, and swipe left or right to dodge.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-14 20:43:58
and modules you DO need to buy. Sometimes when you level up you'll get one but that won't happen for a while.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-15 07:52:03
Ooooh. Wow. Thanks for the tips Blurr! I'll let you know what happens when I try to do battle at a gym. Hopefully I can get the hang of it XD

Oh, booo. But okay. You're so knowledgable Blurr.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-15 08:25:08
You have to get to level five before you can battle though
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-15 08:59:55
Yeah, I got to level 5.
Also, I'm in Bound Brook now there's a shit ton of historic monuments and statues and memorials so tons of pokestops!

Though I have to ask, how come nearly all the churches here have pokestops, but the church near me doesn't??
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Lol I don't know. Most of the churches in my area are gyms

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

incubate that egg as soon as you possibly can
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-07-15 16:22:32
For those wondering why some places are pokestops/gyms while others aren't, its because the game is built off of Ingress.  Ingress was some sort of Google discovery game back in 2012 where people registered landmarks and the server gave people points for going to them.
So if nobody registered your church then no dice.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-15 17:05:07

Lol. I didn't get a chance to battle at a gym. But I can agree to that statement, every time I checked the gym there was a new Pokemon and trainer there. And they had such high CP! Like how is that possible???
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-07-15 21:31:05
Once you hit level 15 CP is much easier to get.
People on summer vacation be playing the fuck out of this game.

I think my largest gripe with the game is how you train/evolve pokemon.  So my starters are my worst pokemon because I never find them.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-16 20:15:21
Yeah I agree with you there.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-16 20:17:52
Your starters are your worst because you never find them?

I find it weird that you can really train your Pokemon. Like, can you even increase your pokemons CP without evolving them? It seems kind of unfair that getting a good Pokemon is all based on luck if you find a good one while walking around.

Some fun Pokemon Go news for you all in easy snippets.  Various stories below.

* In Vancouver, Washington, Pokémon Go players hunting for the digital animals have caused problems for a local fire station. Officials say they've had people blocking their fire trucks and engine bays while searching for Pokemon character Charmander that pops up around the station. Fire officials finally posted signs telling people not to park in front of their station to look for Pokémon.

* Also in Vancouver, Washington, two brothers came across upon a loaded handgun in a field while playing the popular Pokemon Go game. Authorities said the two young men were on the trail of a virtual Pokemon creature when they found the gun in a field and called 911. The gun was weathered and had some rust but still appeared to be able to fire rounds, police said.

* In Greenfield, Indiana, authorities arrested a sex offender after they say a probation officer spotted him playing Pokemon Go with a 16-year-old boy on the county courthouse lawn. The 42-year-old man pleaded guilty in April to fondling a child under the age of 14 and has been on sex-offender probation, which prohibits the Greenfield man from interacting with children.

In Cincinnati, Ohio, four Pokemon players who attend the same church helped save the lives of two overdose victims they found while playing the game. The foursome spotted a car rolling slowly down a street near a park and discovered the couple inside were turning blue and overdosing on drugs. They stopped the car, stayed with the couple, called 911, and even accompanied the pair to the hospital and prayed for them as they underwent treatment.

* In Washington, D.C., Pokemon Go players have been chasing animated pocket monsters through the hallowed grounds of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, distracting and offending other visitors to the site meant to honor those who lost their lives to the horrors of Nazism. The museum is a Pokestop - a place where players can get free in-game items. Museum officials are trying to have it removed from the game and said playing the game inside the memorial is "extremely inappropriate."

* A 21-year old player in Forest Grove, Oregon, approached a stranger on the street and asked him if he was playing, too, police say. The other man then stabbed him. Police say the player described his attacker, refused treatment and continued on his Pokemon hunt.  Forest Grove is a safe community, so police are searching for the suspect.  Crime rarely happens in the town.

* In Berlin, Germany, a man who was wanted by police for evading a prison sentence was arrested after he ventured out to play the newly launched "Pokemon Go" smartphone game with friends. The 18-year-old initially gave a false identity but police quickly established that there was an arrest warrant out for him. He was detained and is now serving a six-month prison sentence he had previously avoided serving.

* In Anaheim, Calif., police say a Pokemon Go player was stabbed Wednesday by a group of young men in a park who got into some type of altercation with him. He was stabbed several times in the upper torso, but is expected to survive. Police don't believe the attackers lured the victim into the park, but they do believe the victim was playing the game and was distracted.

* In Waterville, Maine, a 22-year-old freelance web designer fell on the sidewalk and twisted her ankle while wandering downtown with her smartphone in search of pocket monsters. "It vibrated to let me know there was something nearby and I looked up and just fell in a hole," she says. Her parents had to drive her and her fiancé home.

* In western Pennsylvania, a 15-year-old girl was hit by a car while playing the game and crossing a busy highway. The girl was hospitalized with an injured collarbone and foot, as well as cuts and bruises, said her mother. The car's driver stopped and held the girl's hand until emergency responders arrived.

In Riverton, Wyo., a 19-year-old woman found a dead body floating in a river near her home while playing Pokemon Go. She said she was looking for a water Pokemon when she walked down to the Big Wind River, which runs behind her home. That's when she spotted a man's body floating face down in the water. Police say it appears he drowned. The young woman told police she never would have walked down to the river if not for the game.

* In Encinitas, Calif., two men fell off an oceanside cliff while playing Pokemon Go. Firefighters say the men ignored a warning sign and climbed through a fence Wednesday afternoon while playing the digital-monster cellphone game. One man fell about 50 feet down the side of the unstable bluff and the other fell about 90 feet to the beach. Both were hospitalized with moderate injuries.

* In Westport, Conn., “Pokemon Go” led two men into the prayer garden of a local church, where they found an unidentified naked woman ripping apart the grounds. The woman threw a statue of the Virgin Mary onto the ground, pulled lights out of the garden, turned over benches and threw garbage from her car into the baptismal pond. Police were called in and committed the woman to the hospital for evaluation. A church official said all the damage is "very fixable."
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-16 21:05:12
Ah I heard about the two men in Cali, I thought they died. Good to know they're alive.

But seriously, are people really this collosally stupid??? Like Jesus Christ, maybe it's just me, but it is possible to walk and look at your phone you know. Besides, you don't have to constantly be looking at the damn screen to play the game, you can have it open and walk and when it vibrates look at it and see if you have a Pokemon nearby. It's also kind of cool that the game has allowed others to help communities, like the woman with the dead body and the vandalizing naked lady. But it seems a lot of incidents have idiots being well... Idiots.

And for the people playing the game at the Holocost Memorial Mueseum. What the actual flying f*ck. I can't believe people are so obsessed with a game to completely disrespect a place meant to remember those lost in such a horrible event. That's just disgusting. People have no damn respect these days. Just shaking my head.

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-18 06:18:27
I hate it when the game freezes. It does it constantly on my end. Or I does this weird thing where my avatar is still walking but I can't click on anything. So I have to restart the app, then that takes no joke like 15 minutes to load for some damn reason. It gets frustrating when it happens so often. Thankfully it's happening a little less.

The game just came out in Canada so the servers may be having a hard time right now

Hmm, Pokemon Go is related to Pokemon. And the discussion is about a Pokemon game. I think it's good here.

Is pokemon go really that popular? You bet your sweet cheeks it is XD I see it everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Even signs on the highway say "Don't catch pokemon while driving" and a book store of all places has a poster with pokemon saying "pokemon go trainers welcome here." It's kind of insane how popular this game has become in so short a time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcgEWNmkRjo I haven't gotten this game yet, but this video helped me understand the game better.

That's cool. You should get it. But be warned, it probably will eat away at your data. Somehow I have unlimited data, so I don't have to worry about being in only wifi areas. My friend laments her lack of data. But it is fun ^^

Actually Pokemon go don't use too much data I used about 50.7mb in 2 days and thats using it for a whole day.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-19 05:37:49
Without Wifi?
Because I'm sure keeping the location services turned on using only 3G or LTE or whatever others use has to eat up a good chunk of data. Maybe it's different over there?

You can apparently control what your Eevee evolves to. Following he steps written out here: Link (http://www.techtimes.com/amp/articles/170218/20160717/pok%C3%A9mon-go-gamers-figure-out-eeveelution-how-to-evolve-eevee-into-vaporeon-jolteon-or-flareon.htm).
I'm gonna try it out and see if it works. I want me a Jolteon!

Okay so where do I even begin today?

I got paid so I bought a few more incubators for my eggs and was able to hatch six of them at the same time with a lucky egg activated. Caught a bunch of pidgeys and rattatas to also aid with getting more EXP points. I went from level 14 to 16 today.

As for new Pokemon. I ended up snagging a Voltorb after I went and saw the new Star Trek movie. There was a Magnemite somewhere around the same area but for the life of my I couldn't find it. Got a few Goldeens and a Drowzee too. Most of my new ones though came from evolutions. Primeape, Arcanine, Vaporeon and Graveler.

All in all. Eventful day for me.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-22 20:15:35

And a Jigglypuff today.

Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-22 20:54:14
Cool. Don't know how these assholes in central jersey got dratinis and the evolutions but yeah.
Annoying as heck. I beat a gym, walk 2 feet it's already conquered by someone else. >_>
There's already so few yellow gyms as it is.

Also, what's with some of these badges? I've caught like 6 Magikarps, but my badge says I've only caught 1/3 Magikarp? The fudge?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

the magikarp one is dependent on size

I find a lot of water Pokemon away from water too. From the gyms around my house, Lapras seems to be semi common. I haven't caught one yet though :/
But I caught a shit ton of Goldeens and Magikarps. Only 2 Horseas's though.

But cooler weather doesn't give you rain... I guess it's better than insufferable heat haha. It's why fall is best season.

My friend mentioned something like that, there's a tournament going on coincidentally when her family is visiting Cali (don't know why they would :P).

100 Pokemon? Like new ones or just standard ratattas and pidgeys?

I caught a Golem today. Now I have all the rock evolutions. Geodude, Gravler, and Golem.
I also hatched a Tanglea.

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

A wild rapidash? Well sometimes in rare circumstances final evolutions do show up. For example I got a Slowbro and an Alakazam wild while strolling through the park
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-29 19:23:35
Wow crazy!
But yeah, I've caught final evolutions a few times. Like Golem, and Rapidash, and Hitmonchan and Clefable. And then I'm guess common ones like Raticate and Golbat aren't rare.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-29 19:29:42
Yeah. I also got a jolteon too.

Oh and get this. I missed out on a wild dratini.........AGAIN!!!!

Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-29 19:47:15
How did you miss out on it? Did it like run away?
But wow, you caught a Jolteon? Wicked cool! I just evolved one of my Eevee's to be a Jolteon. And a Bellsprout to a Weepinbell.

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-29 20:08:36
?Oh?
But if you were working, how did you know you missed out on it? You already had the game open. Might as well crouch, take 5 seconds and done. It's what I do. #badworkethic don't follow my advice DX
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-29 20:14:07
I opened the game up when I had a chance to and saw that there was a dratini nearby. I tried to go after it and find it but it despawned before I could get close

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-30 09:23:28
Alright. So I had to go into the next town over for work and afterwards I went to this old hiking trail. Tons of pokestops. Nothing new popped up. But thanks to my lucky egg and 7 other eggs hatching at the same time, plus a bunch of evolutions, I was able to get up a level. Plus I was even able to evolve some stuff into new ones I didn't have.

So I came home today with a Flareon, Poliwhirl, and a Weepinbell.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-30 11:20:24
Oh wow, I'd caught a poliwhirl. I'm working on catching a bunch of Poliwags to evolve Poliwhirl.

I caught a Taurus this morning. Was so stoked!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-31 16:58:13
Went out to the park again. Hatched some eggs, got up to level 18, and I got an Ivysaur wild.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-31 17:04:40
Whoa. Cool. I caught a Bulbasaur today. And a Taurus. Oh! And a Nidoqueen. It just popped out!

Of course I'll be safe. I love you guys and I'm all about being safe.

Do you know what San Francisco has? Squirtles, Bulbasaurs, Dratinis, and Magikarps up the wazoo. With it taking 400 candies to evolve a magikarp, I frickin need as many as I Can get
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-31 19:24:14
Wow, cool!
Wish you luck.
I've caught quite a few Magikarps. Still far off, but gotta keep working.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-07-31 19:29:46
Excactly. Plus if you can get a Magikarp up to at least 200 cp, when you evolve it, you have at least a 2000 CP Gyarados
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-07-31 19:35:27
That would mean you have to have over 400 Magikarp candies to be able to level up a Magikarp to that level and then evolve it. Right not my highest level Magikarp is 68 CP.

In other news, I took over a gym right infront of my parents office. Was hard, stupid Slowbro.

Literally crying right now.
But also laughing at how Snorlax got nerfed.
But now all 3 of my Vaporeon's are garbage T~T
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-03 18:01:04
I know they changed the power of the moves I think vaporeon used to be 10 but now is 6 the other move I'm not sure as I have a jolteon.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-03 18:08:15
Well, they nerfed Vaporeon.
And upped up Jolteon.

Post by: Blurr on 2016-08-03 19:05:16
I am so close to level 20 I can taste it. I have 9 eggs right now, none of them in incubation, but all of them 5k. As soon as I get paid this coming friday, I'm gonna get some pokecoins and buy some more incubators so they can all begin their incubation at the same time. Then when the time comes for them to hatch, lucky egg. I have a few pokemon ready to evolve as well but I'm gonna wait for that one moment and pile in all the double XP
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-03 20:49:32
Jesus man, just spending so much money to incubate these eggs to level up fast?
I mean, just to buy 8 incubators, you have to drop 5 bucks to get enough gold coins.

Try holding down a gym maybe? I've tried, I think I got a good target to start gaining coins now. It's a small gym in the middle of nowhere with loser Pokemon. Gonna attack it tomorrow and take charge.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-08-04 01:24:55
I HAVE tried holding down a gym. I can't even hold a position for an hour anymore. If I want any coins right now I have no choice BUT to buy. Plus I can afford it.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-04 05:23:13
Well, there have been people who have done it. Now that certain Pokemon have been nerfed maybe you can try again! Trust me, I haven't been able to hold down a gym for even a few minutes. But don't give up.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-08-04 21:05:18
Unfortunately my strongest pokemon is the one that got nerfed the most. Vaporeon. XP.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-08-04 21:07:07
I'm saving my stardust for when I really want to level a team.  Right now gyms aren't all that interesting to me over finding all the pokemon. 
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-05 16:20:14
I know I'm the same I want to catch most before I battle as it builds the stardust and candy so I can evolve most of mine but at the moment I can't catch any they run away from me.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-05 16:29:12
Have you tried using your Razzberies? It's what they're for.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-05 17:03:25
Yeah I use them but they still break out and run away I only managed to catch one today using 15 great balls.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-05 17:18:46
Are you throwing them inside the shrinking rings? That affects your chances too ya know.
It also may be the Pokemon are like too powerful for the level you're at maybe? But 15 great balls to catch one Pokemon? Seems excessive.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-08-05 17:20:46
Curve balls too. Curve balls help
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-05 17:23:39
Well I'm only level 14 and the Pokemon I did catch I know it would use quite a lot as it was a syther 417cp but I tried to catch weedle at 55cp it kept breaking out.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-08-05 17:24:40
got a Ponyta at 717 CP today. Walking up and down the  mall. Eggs are almost set to hatch
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-05 17:28:43
Curve balls only give you +10xp. I'd rather get a Great shot and get 50xp.

But wow, that's kinda sad. Stupid wheedles.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-05 17:30:31
Yeah I gave up trying to catch it to save the balls for better ones.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-08-05 18:57:33
They hatched. And I had a lucky egg down. Level 20 achieved! Along with those nine hatches I was also able to evolve some more pokemon and got some new ones.

New catches: Tentacool, Machoke, Golduck, Persian, and Sandslash
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-05 19:00:22
Nice bet it takes a while to level up.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-08-05 19:04:48
You bet it does. But there are ways to cut the time down. Catch as many pidgeys, weedles, and caterpies as you can. They take the least candies to evolve so fast xp. Plus lucky eggs are your friends. Especially when you're about to hatch a bunch of eggs.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-05 19:08:15
Yeah I got loads of eggs but they are all 5km and I do catch a load of pigeys and that I haven't used a lucky egg yet though.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

How many incubators do you have?

ah shit well yeah thats a problem
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-05 19:19:40
Yeah but here's the thing Blurr. Not all of throw our money away on buying incubators and lucky eggs.
Some of us can only do it the slow and hard way because we can't or don't want to spend money on a virtual game.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-05 19:23:31
It does annoy me at time I must admit because 9 5km eggs take me ages so yeah I do it the hard way.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-05 19:24:51
Same buddy. Same.
I one time had like 3 10k eggs and one incubater. It was torture and took forever. But it was worth it.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-05 19:29:00
Yeah tell me about it I only had 3 10km eggs which I done first then after that it's all 5 without fail but I agree it is worth it when you get something new out of the egg.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-05 19:37:58
Totally.
I've been really tempted to buy incubators, but I don't want to spend my money that way. I could spend it on better things. Like my college books. And food. And things I can have in real life. Dat temptation doh.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-08-05 19:42:57
Yeah these days money need to be spent on more important things then a game but yeah it is tempting to buy them though.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-05 19:45:51
Gotta saves ups to gets me dat edumacation. But yeah, I think the only games I've spent money on are Palgue Inc and that's cu what you buy doesn't go away after 3 uses XD you get like hours upon hours of extra playtime.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Yeah education is important and I used to play plague Inc fun game I must admit.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Got a bit more progress on the 10k eggs. I am SERIOUSLY hoping neither of them are Eevees. Anything else I could deal with. But Eevees are so common here it makes me even wonder WHY they come out of 10k eggs.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-14 15:30:52
Because they come out as more powerful....
It would be an awesome blessing honestly. You can get super op Eevee's and then can possibly immediately evolve them to be even more powerful Flareon's.

Yeah, for $62. Oh and there's also Pikachu plushies. My roommate was showing this to us earlier.

F that. Come on Build-a-Bear. Really? You're really going to exploit the shit out of the Pokemon craze that much?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: mysteryserpent on 2016-08-31 06:44:20
62 dollars?? Man than is almost an entire day's pay with a minimum wage job...like I have currently...XD

Seriously though that is a ton of money for a single toy.

I finally got Go on my phone! :D it is oddly addicting. I have walked more than 20 k in the last week...maybe closer to 2 weeks now. I have a lot of phone issues though. Can't get in a single gym at all, can't use metal points in the shop either. Poke stops save me :) big time.

What level or which rare Pokemon have you all caught? I found a wild chancy and clefable :) man they were hard to catch...
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-08-31 07:32:59
Yeah, here's the kicker, they're already sold out. So GG Build-A-Bear. You successfully conned a bunch of people into spending a ton of money for a not even that good looking plush. It's ridiculous. But the fact that they're sold out is even more ridiculous.

You can't use gyms until you're like level 5 I believe. So that would make sense, unless you're higher then level 5. Then I have no idea.

You caught a CLEFABLE? I almost caught one but it ran away :/
I'm level 19 now I believe. Most rare Pokemon I've caught is a Dratini.

And the deal is like, whoa, really girly looking. It's a complete trap. And the owl's got freaky looking legs. They're all pretty cool I suppose though.

Oh boi!

I'm definitely getting sun. The monkeys and wolf design look better in it.

What about you guys?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-11-11 07:36:26
Getting Sun and picking the owl.  Haven't picked a grass starter since...ever I think lol
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-11 07:38:49
Rowlett is cute. I'd probably pick him too. I'm usually a water starter, but I'm not a big fan of the water starter. Not saying it's ugly or badly designed, just doesn't appeal to me. And neither does Litten. It should've been a Fire Fighting, but they screwed themselves with over using that double typing.

I've already pre-ordered moon. And I'm honestly not sure who to go with as my starter. All of them are interesting types, each with their own benefits. I guess I'll just wait and wing it.

I have Sun and Moon pre-ordered.  Cait is picking the water so in a few days after the release I'll be able to breed 2/3 of them if anyone wants to fill their dex out.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-11 09:57:34
So is Cait getting moon? That's cool. You can play together!
Your gf is so cool man.

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-11-18 11:50:19
New 3ds XL is what I have now. The purple galaxy style one. It's so cool to just look at. XD

Also. Moon has been acquired. I picked Rowlett as my starter.

I picked up my copy of Sun this morning after my class! So far my little team consists of Popplio, Pichu, and Pikipeck. (Which I am now just realizing all start with the same letter. xD)
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-18 14:03:11
You actually picked Popplio? Rare.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Bird on 2016-11-18 14:13:08
Mhm! I had a difficult time picking between him and Rowlett, though.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-11-18 23:08:15
I don't transfer stuff till I beat the game.  I like playing from scratch each time.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-18 23:12:13
I usually don't have people to trade with. So that's how I end up doing it most of the time haha.

Where I live it's hard to find water pokemon. Niagara Falls helped with that
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-09 17:33:35
Really? I thought in California it's easy to find everything. Like, my RA who lives in Cali has a shit ton of pikachu's, dratini's, and Dragonaire's.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-12-09 17:42:57
Not in MY area of California

Got ditto and evolved a beedrill and Magneton.

Finally had time to fight the elite 4.  What a comfy ending.  Overall a great pokemon game.  Hope it breathes life back into the series.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-20 07:37:49
Well, I went Christmas shopping with my mom the other day. We got Sun and Moon, managed to convince her to get Moon for my sister because there was only one Sun left on the shelf. I know. I'm a horrible person. But that wolf is 3edgy5me.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-12-20 07:40:53
I have sun too.  The lion is the best companion.  I normally don't use legendaries but the little story behind him joining my team was too much for me to box him.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-20 09:01:38
Aww, that's so cool. Plus the lion just looks waaaaaay cooler than whatever the hell the moon thing is. A moon?
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-12-20 11:30:54
I think it's like a bat type thing

Mm, makes sense.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Blurr on 2016-12-20 17:43:20

So, Ultra Sun/Moon for the 3ds, and some collesium type game for the Switch.   
Meanwhile, I'm working on my living dex, still need some of the ultra beasts.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-06-12 11:20:08
Yes ultra sun and moon will be out soon and I still haven't completed my dex no where near as I stopped playing the game soon as I completed it.
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion
Post by: Kyrl on 2017-06-13 18:45:25
And Gen 8 will be on the switch!  Holy yes!
Title: Re: Pokemon Discussion

I know I got the game already but I'm trying to get a shiny starter.

Huh...

Pokemon Go blamed for hundreds of deaths in automobiles according to revealing Purdue Study (https://www.autoblog.com/2017/11/29/pokemon-go-car-crashes-traffic-fatalities-purdue-study/)
