| Some type combinations would flat-out suck, but I can think of a few that are at least usable:
- Steel/Poison: Only two weaknesses, Fire (2x) and Ground (4x), and the typing cancels out Psychic and Fighting weaknesses. - Electric/Grass: Electric's Ground weakness gets canceled out by Grass, but you then gain a weakness to Bug, Poison, Ice and Fire. =/ - Psychic/Dark: Immune to Psychic, neutral Dark and Fighting... but it has a 4x Bug weakness... I would like to see at least one of these in the future Pokémon generation. =D ____________________ "[Yugoslavia] no longer exists... but take her for a test drive, and you'll agree...

I really like Zorua's design, but Zoroark just looks plain weird. Not to mention his standing up pose looks really familiar. I also think his flowing long hair is a bit much, especially since it has a blue bead in it. Hopefully they are actually giving Zoroark a Fighting/Dark type, since he looks to be as such. Not to mention, he would only be weak against Bug and Flying. ____________________ |

| midori: It ruins the game because you don't want to play it.
Pokemon is one of the best fuses between pro-gaming and casual gaming that there is, EVER. And as for you guys using hacked pokemons over Wi-Fi, you're part of a big problem. Personally I never got into the pro-scene of pokemon, but I can definitely see a well executed game system when I see it. ____________________  |

| They may not give you the exact numbers, but since D/P, they've been adding more and more ways to control and/or understand both EVs and IVs. Power items (apparently HG/SS expand them to allowing you to pass the specific IV in that stat down to the egg), the effort ribbon, characteristics, that guy in the Battle Tower who specifically tells you how good the best IV on your Pokemon is, Hidden Power (for that matter, the guy in Platinum's Game Corner who will tell you what type it'd be), berries to reduce a given EV, etc. Arguing that they want you specifically not to use any of this information is somewhat... unfounded. |

| The IV system is borked because there's no advantage to disadvantage tradeoff. More IVs is always better (unless you really really really need a specific hidden power, then you lose 1 or 2 IV points at most). Until there's a disadvantage for having higher IVs, there'll always be a need to breed/hack for 31IV pokemon.
Pokemon is a terrible competitive game anyhow - You have to spend hours grinding before you can do anything that approaches competitive play. If you don't do the prerequisite For a game that blends casual and competitive play really well, look at Team Fortress 2. Pokemon does none of the things that make the game accessible at a low and a high level. But then, I've felt that pokemon needs an earth-shattering rebuild from the ground up but it won't get it as all the changes since Gen 2 have been really conservative. |

Well, what else are you going to have in a cave? Would you rather they just make a new bat/rock Pokemon that would essentially take the same role? Not many things live in caves....rocks, bats, occasionally bears, they have all of these things. I just fail to see the problem is all  its no more annoying than going in to a field and finding that particular gen's bird/plant of choice. As for dark/ghost being broken, well...Sableye kinda sucks and Spiritomb is far from broken, albiet a decent Pokemon in its own right.  |

| If they just added level balancing to local wireless, there would be almost no benefit (hello Mewtwo!) to reaching level 100. Much of the in-game extra content (Battle Frontier and what not) levels you back down to level 50, anyway...
I always view "leveling beyond what is required to beat the game" to be something you can do if you want, but not something the game needs to encourage. At least now you can buy rare candy, or find it with Pickup (say, when you're chaining for shinies). |

| You can buy rare candy? The hell? I don't recall any game that had this. Rare candies are pointless anyway as they raise your level but not your stats, so you could in theory give a level 1 Pidgey 100 rare candies and it would be no stronger than when you caught it (and now can never get stronger because you maxed its level ) the only time I've ever used my rare candies in game was when I was filling my Pokedex and got too impatient on a couple of evolutions. Even then I'd limit the use to about one per Pokemon so I'd still give myself something to do |

Originally posted by KeitaroRare candies raise stats but not EVs, same as the day care people. Level 100 rare candy Pidgey will be weaker than trained Pidgey, but it will be stronger than the same Pidgey if it was encountered in the wild at level 99. This also means that if you max out the Pokemon's EVs (you can get the effort ribbon in Canalave at this point), you can Rare Candy it up to your heart's content. Or put the Pokemon in the daycare center, find a muddy slope, tape the "up" arrow down, and leave the game running however long it takes. Also, Battle Tower (D/P) or Frontier (Pt). 48 Battle Points per candy. Alternately 2000 points in the Pokeathlon Dome. (Incidentally, if you track a Pokemon's stat gains over several levels while raising it with only Rare Candy and vitamins, you can use this data to calculate its IVs.) ...I'm amused by math. This makes Pokemon very good for me. EDIT: Since that last post showed up while I was typing this, as long as HG/SS is like Gold and Silver, you can buy large quantities of Lemonade at once at Mt Moon Square, as long as you visit between 10 AM and 6 PM. |
