If I'm going to fight Benga, would it be better to replace Water Pulse with Ice Beam or Blizzard (to take care of his Dragon-types)?

[Nebbles]

Ice Beam. Don't risk the accuracy, and you have more PP.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Ice Beam. Don't risk the accuracy, and you have more PP.

Thanks! (now to find the TM and level up a bit more)

EDIT: Benga Battle!

Super Fang against Latias; not too long after, Marat fainted. Wave finished it up with Ice Beam after being hit by Thunderbolt.
Wave KO'd Dragonite with a single Ice Beam.
Wave used Razor Shell; it would've taken out Volcarona in one hit, but it had a Focus Sash. Wave was fainted by Bug Buzz. Roy (the last member of my "big three") finished the job with ExtremeSpeed; Roy was burned by Flame Body.

Time to get Dratini!

PWT is crazy amounts of fun. But the Sinnoh leaders tournament is very hard.

Just wait until you get to the World Leaders or Champions tournaments.


Which team will win:

A team filled with Pokemon with double weaknesses Vs. A team filled with Pokemon with double resistances.


Also another scenario:

Team of 2 three-stage evolution Pokemon families (Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur) leveled accordingly.

Team of 3 two-stage evolution Pokemon families (Ekans, Arbok, Rattata, Raticate, Venonat, Venomoth) leveled accordingly.

Team of 6 no evolution Pokemon (Kangaskhan, Miltank, Emolga, Rotom, Carnivine, Relicanth).

Basic = Lv100
Stage 1 = Lv80
Stage 2 = Lv60

Or whatever makes stats even. No evolutioners may need to be bumped down to Lv80.

I slammed through the Mix (or-whatever-it's-called) tournament... but I must have forgotten to save the game. X_X

Pokémon Direct

We have received the details of the timeframe for tomorrow's announcement. This announcement is to come via a special Nintendo Direct called "Pokémon Direct" and will be a worldwide viewing at 11am GMT, 8pm in Japan and 6am EST. This Nintendo Direct will be 10 minutes long and simulcast worldwide. We'll provide the news as and when it comes so check the site

It would have to be one heck of an event Pokémon to justify a PR circus like this. They schedule it so that most of the world can follow it. If they announce anything less than a main series game, it would be a PR disaster and damage their reputation badly for a long time to come.

[Nebbles]

I'm really excited now. A Nintendo Direct is pretty big, too... what ARE they planning...

[spitllama]

PokemonXDigimon

Oh no

[Nebbles]

har har. But I'm not sure what to make of this. There's so many possibilities...

[spitllama]

It's probably a Gen 3 remake. Not sure if anyone already said that.

[Nebbles]

People have been, and that's the general consensus. I'm throwing my two cents in that too, because this announcement seems pretty big and a remake of Hoenn seems to fit that...

[Waddle Bro]

It's the Ruby and Sapphire remakes. It must be. Anyone who disagrees, see that thing up there?

It's called the Logout button.

Also:

I think that it will be a Emerald Remake, rather than a Ruby/Sapphire Remake, based on cobraroll's theory that there are 5 games in each Generation.

I stand by Ruby and Sapphire remakes. I don't want to judge Nintendo, but two games make more money than one. We shouldn't forget that the remakes always come in pairs(I'm not sure if you can say that Crystal, Emerald and Platinum were remakes...).
also you disagreed with me gtfo

[Nebbles]

True, but Emerald would be nice since it had the battle frontier.

If you haven't guessed, I'd really like a 5th gen battle frontier.

[SlowPokemon]

It's totally obvious they're going to have the battle frontier web if its ruby and sapphire--HGSS were more like Crystal than anything else

Yeah; that's what I said by taking qualities of the "third version."
