General Pokémon

[FSM-Reapr]

I started a new save file.
I found out that I can't get a Landorus-T again. D:

Anyways, this time I'm not playing ruzlockes or some shiz like dat. I'm making a badass competitive OU battle team without legendaries, because they're lame to battle with unless you.

So far I got a Regenerator Slowbro(from Dream Radar), Shed Skin Scrafty and Rotom(gonna be Wash) from Dream Radar. I'm going to get a Poison Heal Gliscor(Hidden Grotto), a Technician Breloom(Hidden Grotto) and a Skill Link Cloyster. I will replace Slowbro and Scrafty with a Wobbuffet and a Garchomp.

Guys, can you please help me get a Rough Skin Gible from Dream World when I'm gone! That would mean the world to me.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

If I get 10,000+ points in the Dream World, I'll try and help, FSM!!


Also, do you need to go to Driftveil first in BW2 (after memory link) to obtain N's Pokemon, or can you catch them before that?

[FSM-Reapr]

If I get 10,000+ points in the Dream World, I'll try and help, FSM!!

BDS, if you do that, I promise I'll breed you a Jolly Gible and level it up to a lv. 100 Garchomp with max EVs on Attack and Speed and as much IVs as possible! Also I would love you forever.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Aah; I caught N's Boldore and Joltik LITERALLY one right after another (consecutive battles), and then, shortly after, I caught his Ferroseed, and finally, Klink.
Are his Pokemon really THAT easy to get?? o_O

Just a question: Are anybody here paying attention to the Animé?

I don't, but as far as I know, Ash and co. have come to the Unova League as of the most recent episodes in Japan. After that, (spoiler alert) N and Ghetsis are set to appear. But... for how long?

Depending on the writers, they could stuff in between 5-20 episodes in an "N arc". And after that, what happens? The Animé has shown every aspect of Unova as shown in Black&White AND Black2/White2. As far as I know (and heard from a friend I questioned), they've been everywhere, done everything. Now they want a plot containing the main villains of the games, but I can't see that dragging on for more than a few months. After this arc, they'll run out of game content to base Animé episodes on.

This begs the question: What will follow? Keep in mind that there is no Battle Frontier in Unova, so they can't create a mini-saga based on that. The Orange Saga was made as a "filler" while they waited for Gold&Silver to be released. Since then, all they've done has been based on main series game content.

An obvious conclusion would be "More games". Another movie, starring Genesect, is to be released in 2013. There is a slight possibility that we'll catch the first glimpse of sixth generation Pokémon there. However, if GameFreak were to follow the current pattern of time intervals between generations, annoncements regarding Gen. VI would still be a year (and one movie, counting the Reshiram/Zekrom movies as one) away.

Perhaps we'll see the fabled RSE remakes soon? Or perhaps something entirely different? The rumours are circulating on the web, some speak of new Form(e)s, or even new Pokémon, but there are aqfully few Gen. V Legendaries with only one Forme still around, and GF have never introduced new Pokémon mid-Generation.

I think we're in for a new major announcement, but only time will tell what it will be...

1: There's no Battle Frontier in Kanto either, yet...

2: More "filler"?

3: Finally an Orange Island-based game?

4: Back to the Hoenn region?

Is there anyway to get Therian form without Dream Radar?

Maybe Ash will finally turn 11 and redo Kanto?

1: There's no Battle Frontier in Kanto either, yet...

Actually --> the generation 3 Battle Frontier was located in Kanto

[Nebbles]

Actually --> the generation 3 Battle Frontier was located in Kanto

Really? Where's your proof?

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Actually --> the generation 3 Battle Frontier was located in Kanto

From Bulbapedia:
"Hoenn's Battle Frontier, which was introduced in Pokémon Emerald, and was the first Battle Frontier, located on an island in the southeast of the Hoenn region replacing the Battle Tower from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire."

Unless Hoenn is north of Kanto, then the Battle Frontier was clearly in Hoenn. Look at the map, with the area in dark red.

Ahh, ninja'd...

[Nebbles]

Yeah, I was about to say it clearly labeled the battle frontier on the Hoenn map. Kanto doesn't have one. It has the sevii islands.

[Cobraroll]

For the Animé, they relocated the Battle Frontier to facilities all around Kanto. That way, they could excuse stretching it out to an entire story arc.
Still, they changed relatively little else. The facilities were cutpasted straight from the games, if only put in different places. However, there are no such things in the recent games, at least from the latest generation (which, it should be pretty clear to everybody, is the one they always will be focusing on. Previous generations will be regarded as "History", and they won't borrow content from them unless it's retained in the current generation).

So, repeating myself, with the inclusion of N there is nothing from the games they haven't touched upon in the Animé. Or, I guess there is White Forest and Black City. Wonder if that will go in the N arc, be completely unrelated, or be ignored. Still, I really doubt they have material for as much as a year without making some new game or animé-exclusive content.

[FSM-Reapr]

I think the word "anime" is spelled with a normal "e".

[Cobraroll]

Serebii spells it with an é, but Wikipedia does without (though mentions the alternate spelling). Do somebody have any decent sources on this, so I can know what's correct?

EDIT: Upon reading the Wikipedia article further, I see that it's pronounced Animé, with stress on the E, but it's not required to spell it that way. Some cite the French term Dessin Animé as an origin for the word, though this is debated.
