A Scizor with that moveset can sweep your entire team, seriously.

Someone say Scizor? =O
He's my favourite! xD

Is this random match-up? If so, the team members you have are just fine for that format, but they really do have to be trained properly if you don't want random hooligans like me to obliberate you.

EDIT: I could actually breed (yes, mm, LEGITLY breed) and train a few team members for you if you want. I would, however, keep a copy for myself using Pokecheck and pokegts.

Well, if I play online, I mostly play in random battles, so I can choose 3 team members to avoid half of my team getting raped by one type of the enemy.
I could also diversify my team with some old teams I created in Black 1, Pearl, etc.. I've just been to lazy to trade them into Black 2 till now.
I should also mention that I'm not really into breeding and this EV / DV training. So I don't know exactly how to do this properly.

By the way, does anyone know of a tanky pokemon with defense boosting moves and baton pass by any chance?

bmin's pretty much dead on with good defensive passers (disagree with durant since he can't take a special hit) but I have some other suggestions~

Munna/Musharna fits that description well. Have to breed a Munna with Baton Pass though and it has access to Calm Mind and (lol defense curl) for defensive boosting. Also I recommend using a Baton Pass Scizor as it can pass Iron Defense, Agility and or Swords Dance boosts too though Scizor's usually a better attacker than a dedicated baton passer. Lastly I'd suggest Gorebyss since it's the only mon I can think of that gets both the combo of Amnesia/Iron Defense/Baton Pass though I find gorebyss much more useful doing smashpasses but defense passing with it could still work I bet.

I'll breed and train you a set of 3, then, so at least you have 3 well-trained Pokemon you can use. Just choose 3 breedable Pokemon you want a well-trained version of and I'll try to make them soon enough.

Wow, that would be awesome
I would choose these 3
- Gengar
- Milotic
- Roserade
If you're really gonna do that, I'll be indebted to you forever ^^

i can't remember i time when i didn't use ditto for breeding ._.
catch ditto -> place in day care -> never take it back

It's not that hard to explain.

When you catch/get a new pokémon, its EV is at 0. You can increase it by battling Pokémon in the wild/Trainer-Pokémon and increase its EV to 510. That's the maximum. In some versions of the pokémon games you get a ribbon for that. (Like in R/S/E) xD
Every pokémon you battle gives EV. There are 6 types of EV - Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, Special Defense and HP. You can increase everyone of those to a value of 255. (Which is bad when you're fucking serious about the EV stuff but I'm not, anyway.) It's better if you increase a stat to 252, another one to 252 and another one to 6 - and poof, you got your 510 EV.

Next step: What do the EV do?
Every 4 EV you put on a pokémon, that certain stat increases by one. This means if you put 252/255 EV on a pokémon's stat it gets a boost of 63 points (at Lv100, I think). You can max out two of the six stats this way.

For how to get EV's fast - I'm not an expert about that since I've only dealt with maxing out 2/6 stats on EV - S.Atk and HP. First you'll have to know where many pokémon live that gives the certain EV. I guess you'll need to look this up on the internet. For example - the Celestial Tower in Black/White on lower floors is very good for S.Attack-EV. Another thing you need to know is that you can double the EV you get from a pokémon with a Macho Brace, and you can get a whopping +4 EV on a certain stat with every pokemon giving EV on that stat with your Pokémon holding a Power Bracer, Power Weight, Power Lens etc.

You can reset the EV somehow with berries but I never dealt with them.

Oh, and did I mention that you need to keep count on the pokémon you defeat while training EV? That's because they're written down nowhere in the game where you can note it. ^^

The total DV for every Pokémon you catch is 186 - 31 in every stat. You can breed them somhow if I remember it right. It does make a difference in online battles though. If the DV of your pokémon is 0 and you're battling against one that has 186 DV - it means that you have 186 less extra stats which is quite a lot if you ask me - compared to EV, which is capped at 127. However do note that every pokémon trained to Lv100 will have these 127 stat points (if you didn't do it right it can be 126 or 125 though) if you didn't give him 99 rare candies or sth like that, so it's a bit wrong to compare these two. I only wanted to say that DV might be somewhat more important than EV.

I hope I helped you. If sth isn't clear enough, feel free to PN me, then I can explain it to you in german. ^^
To the others: If I'm writing bullshit, if my english is so bad that nobody's able to understand it or if sth isn't corrrect, feel free to add the missing stuff.

Starting trying to get all Hoenn Pokémon now. Still need a Deoxys, even if it's just a quick trade.

Deoxys. Honestly, I forgot about that Pokémon as well as forgetting it was in Hoenn...

Guys, check this out. It's a fully working FireRed MMO, Includes all the pokemons up to gen 3 (except Deoxys I think).
It's pretty good, it lags a bit when moving (movement is not as fluid as when you play on the actual console), it's got a nice playerbase, bad thing is you can't progress co-op in story mode, meaning each player has to fight every trainer :/
Just thought I'd leave it here for people that have been looking for an online pokemon client (Like me, but all I found was a battle simulator). Hit me up with a pm if you start playing so I can add you.

BTW... you need a Fire Red v1.0 rom (Heart Gold rom is optional for nicer sprites).

EDIT: Just noticed that trainers don't notice you, so you can just walk by them and not battle them xD

The last time someone posted that in this thread nobody really cared. Don't expect it to be any different this time around.

Sorry, didn't know it was posted already.

So I know this is kinda old, but I think this is why we actually won't be getting R/S/E remakes:

The past-gen remake trend never implied RS remakes. When RS were released, the series was rebooted. To reintroduce Red/Green and Gold/Silver, remakes of them were made. Those remakes were placed in the third- and fourth-generations respectively to follow the time hypothesis. (In other words, R/S/E and R/G/B/Y share the same time period, as do G/S/C and D/P/Pt.)

Since it's established that BW take place after DPPt, having RS remakes this gen doesn't make sense.
That said, remakes of any gen are always on the table, because $$$.

Why would they remake R/S/E anyways. R/S/E themselves were reboots to the system, both visually and gameplay wise, and graphically speaking, they still hold up to today's gen, minus the 3D environments. So all you'd really be paying for is a 3D version of Hoenn and 280-odd "new" pokemon for the pokedex.

just incase anyone is interested, or missed it before, the Keldeo Event is returning for a bit soon
25th January until 12th February

I saw. I was so torn by its Resolute Forme design that I really wanted to just raise a plain Keldeo, so this is a relief \o/

...I DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS, OKAY?! *flee*

I still want my remakes. No matter what, I still have my hopes for it.

they remade white/black before they did ruby saphire :/
i got my HG/SS so im happy tho

BW2 were sequels, not remakes. =/
If only GBA games weren't so rare, I'd like to have a second Emerald to use for playthroughs.

Funny story: yesterday (Monday) when I was trying to find my 2nd Platinum guide (the one that mentions all of the National Pokémon up to that point) in my closet, I found someone else's Sapphire in there. It wasn't really played (they only have two Badges), so I thought about starting over on it for nostalgia's sake (and probably just to get certain Pokémon in general).

A shame the secondary effects of Abilities didn't exist till Emerald...

I remember Ruby was the first pokemon game I aimed for a Living Pokedex on. Mainly because R/S revamped the whole box system and made it easily navigatable.

Good times. If you ride a bike in Lilycove City, and go behind the house that has the Game Freak guy who shows you the diploma, there's a tiny bit of clipping where the wheel pokes through the roof, on the left hand side.

Well... this is embarassing... Out of ALL non-event Pokémon I don't have, I don't have Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise T_T Can someone trade me one or even a Squirtle Egg?

i don't have any at the moment, but i was planning in getting some squirtle eggs

Want anything particular in return? Or can I just trade whatever?

Nvm, already discussed on IRC... partly. (Where'd you disappear to? )

I wanna do sth online too.

Someone set up a time & day of the week for us to meet up on a weekly basis, please.

Meet up for what?

Well... I don't like battling competitively since I don't have an actual team (seriously, you might as well put me in a Rental-only tourney), and the only trading I'll ask for is a Deoxys, even if it's just for a quick trade.

Now... if we did/could do something like that funzone area in Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver...

If you're serious. I'm so going to join with you all.

I concur with DxS. All we have to do is find a date & we're set.

Ah, I had a dream about Pokémon last night. It was quite scary. I was getting chased by Arceus or something ;_;

anyone else seen this? http://pokeluka.deviantart.com/art/Nais ... -255654954

Question, because I'm not familiar with cross-generation/wifi features:

if I pick up one of the new Pokemon games, can someone give me a Bidoof (once the online features are unlocked)?

I'm considering actually buying one of these games on launch and it'd be great if I could get like, a Bidoof and a Blitzle and stuff
