i dedicate this thread to the most amazing, beautiful and fantastic creatures that had ever existed. Pokémon! share your love by these creatures posting your own Pokémon stuff. that could be cards, plush dolls, even your Pokémon from Videogames. do not post material that has been severely ridiculized, such as memes(however, certain memes can be posted, as long as they are not offensive or splicit). so i'll start

some of my cards that i'm very proud to have:










and an extra:


sorry if the images are too big.

Couldn't this have gone in the General Pokemon thread? I mean, seriously. Having one for the pokemon video game series and one for the general series is more than enough as it is.

in those threads you can talk about certain things of the games, here you can talk about how much do you love them.

It's General as in, anything related to them. This falls into that category, as it is Something related to Pokemon.

If you're finally having X/Y in your posession, i'll trade you lots and lots of Magikarps.
I can't trade you The Real™ Man of Sex ♀ though, since it's unobtainable yet.

the next week(November 10th) there will be the Legendary Treasures TCG Set prerelease event in my country. of course, i'm in. and FYI, the prerelease events are tourneys that you can only play with the cards of the incoming set, 3 days before its official release. each player gets 6 booster packs to create a 40-cards deck(but in regular tourneys, the deck must have 60 cards). the organizers of the tourney can give you for free the Basic energies that your deck may need. i think there's no Top cut in prerelease events. at the end of the tourney(i think), each player receives 2 extra booster packs from that set, and maybe some extra prizes.

Anyone did "the greatest Gen III pokemon of all time" vote on dorkly.com?

Here's my setup on how much those pokemon impacted me, since that's basically how my team looked like when i were playing Ruby.

It's really a tough decision since gen III pokemon were the bomb, i mean, i would've chosen Tyranitar, Aggron, the 2 EON pokemon- and so many more.

1. I still remember Wally meeting his Ralts for the first time.
2. My starter
3. Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness
4. Best looking dog pokemon
5. I bugged my cousin so long to get a feebas, and even longer to evolve it. It's a love & hate for me.

Worst Loli Ever, Surskit is in that "tier" because if you use a Net Ball on it, it will have the same catch ratio as the Master Ball, but only on Surskit and similar Pokémon. and FYI, the Net Ball catch ratio increases if the Pokémon is Water type or Bug Type. Surskit has both types

Wrong, Net Ball or any other Ball cannot "stack" their effectivity, thus only replacing the chance with a higher one if there is one available, which is replacing the Net Balls chance towards Bug Types (in this case x3) with the effectivity against Water type = x3.
What has changed? Nothing, it basically overwrites the first effect with the second thus not stacking it.

Taking from the formula here (which is not the secret krabby patty formula)


The only additional thing taken in effect is only one bonus, which is the ball bonus, not including another ball effect whatsoever.

PS: Surskits catch rate with 100% HP @ Net Ball without it having status ailments is 78,1% eitherways.
FYI Surskit has a catch rate of 200; 255 being the easiest to catch (Magikarp, Feebas etc. as an example) and 3 (mostly legendaries, excluding Beldum) the most difficult.

TRIVIA: Surskits catch rate can be upped to 100% always, with full HP, no status ailments by just using a Quick Ball at the first turn.
ANOTHER TRIVIAL THING: Quick Balls has a capture rate of x5 (first turn) which is currently the highest capture rate for an pokeball that can be bought in the game since the introduction of Pokémon Black and White.

Just a reminder that the Gen V Pokémon Global Link closes (or rather, you're unable to use Game Sync) in 9 days. Transfer whatever items and Pokémon you can now, because once it closes all your items on there are gone for good.

So last night I was browsing Pokédex 3D because I like to do that sometimes. And I came across a pokémon I almost entirely forgot even existed.



How many of you can say off the top of your head what this thing's name is? How about what it evolves from? I wouldn't have been able to answer either question before yesterday, and I'll probably be unable to answer those questions a week from now.

I think Mothim is the most forgettable pokémon in town. I remember Burmy and Wormadam just fine but having never actually used either, it became so easy to forget that this low-profile mon had an alternate evolution! And bug is even one of my favorite types...

How about you guys? Any pokémon you find particularly forgettable? Any particular reason (e.g. version exclusive to the version you didn't have)? There are several others I could list but I want to see what everyone else brings up first.

This is the only evolution line I always forget or never realize it.
mathexpert
When I caught this in a friend safari I didn't know what the fuck it was...then I found out I hadn't noticed it for 6 generations .-.
Jinxy
I remember Mothim and Venomoth for Tinted Lens shenanigans.


Though, in the forgettable category, who knows Finneon?
