Way to kill the wondering mood Jerry :P (yes, Jerry was right people). I thought about using dusknoir, but think about it. Moves like shadow punch or something arent all that strong, and i dont think dusknoir would be good for mixed battles. Doesnt it have low defenses or something too?

To clarify: Dusknoir is one of the best defensive ghosts in the game. Both of his defensive stats are on par with Groudon and Kyogre, just as an example; they both sit at 135 Base. The only thing that he suffers from is low HP. Something that is easily taken care of with Substitute and Pain Split.

He also makes an amazing attacker. I've personally used most of his sets and can attest to their effectiveness.

Back on topic, Dusknoir is a ghostly cyclops. A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the Yamawarawa may have been what inspired him.

Nobody mentioned it yet, so I figured I would...

Fact: Jolteon is the only Eevee Evolution that doesn't have a tail...

Anybody know what happened to it???

I'm not so sure about that... if they are planning to run a game with only the Gen V pokemon, it will be difficult to include the Eeveelutions without Eevee...
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

It'd be as the same case as the Luvdisc Evo.

For that, it has never been established that it was the evolution of Luvdisc... :-\

Ok, another example.

Not ALL Gen IV pokemon were in The Sinnoh Dex.

They are apparently running black and white using ONLY Gen V pokemon...

Thinking more about it... Maybe more Gen V pokemon will be included in the game once the national dex is obtained though...

Back on topic...
In the time of pokemon, the names of handheld games have always been colors*/crystals reflecting those colors, aside from the pikachu edition. The consoles have never relected this for some stupid reason.

*I know there's at least one douchebag out there just WAITING to point out that black and white aren't colors. Black: It is a combonation of all the primary colors, and is thus, a secondary color. White: Well, what the hell do you want me to call it? A spacial anomaly? Piss of!

Lol, I've got your back, but white is the combination of all colours and black is the absence of all colours :D

By consoles, you mean Colosseum, Gale of Darkness, etc?

Out of all of the 493 Pokémon... the creator's (whose name I can't recall... whoops) favourite is Poliwhirl.
Not Poliwrath, or Politoed... but Poliwhirl.
