Who would f*** a Snorlax?

Hey man, if a Skitty has the desire to f*** a Wailord, anything must be possible.

Yeah, Ash would have no problem at all if he stuck with his original team. There's just no way someone could be the champion of the freaking Battle Frontier and still lose to that guy. But I think it's done on purpose to keep things interesting, so we don't just have Charizard coming out every battle and kicking everyone's ass. Plus, you have the whole maturity issue, that Ash has matured so much that he no longer feels the need for strong Pokemon he's trained in the past.

Hey, learned something new today because of your question... Caterpie doesn't learn any move but Tackle and String Shot in DP, but in PtHGSS, it learns Bug Bite at Lv 15.

Magikarp is in serious trouble

Well, my statement was according to the 'old' caterpie

Considering that Bug Bite could be considered an "okay" move when compared to Magikarp's move pool, I guess that could make Caterpie better. Still depends on if Magikarp's HP would ever get low enough for Flail to do any real damage. But still, Magikarp DOES have better base stats than Caterpie does.

I'd always get really aggrevated in Sapphire/Ruby because there were barely any stones to be found there. I remember starting a new game on Sapphire, and trading a Pichu and Igglybuff from FireRed there to act as "starters" or sorts you could say. Luckily, I think there's ONE Moonstone and ONE Thunderstone (Ievolvedmypikachuthistimelol) to be found in the entire game. But I have absolutely no memory of a Sunstone or Waterstone, unless you traded them for shards (which I could mysteriously never find...)

I liked it a lot more in gen 1 when you could just buy the majority of the stones. Moonstone was the only one you couldn't buy, so it didn't aggrevate the mess out of me and discourage me from using one Pokemon the needed a Stone to evolve. So, I think the stones that are used more to evolve (Thunder,Water,Fire) are better off being bought, while others, like Dusk which have only a couple of evolutions to be gained from them, should be more like quest rewards.

I know it's COMPLETE cliche, but I'm one of those "little kids" you mentioned who fell in love with him in 1999. Battle wise, yeah, he sucks pretty bad, but at least you can can him the Light Ball now to make him better, if just a little bit. I'll probably never use him in a competitive battle, but there's always one in my team other than that.

So yeah, Pikachu.

I'm one of those weird people who's liked every generation as it's released, even though I was part of the hype for almost all of them. Was so stoked for gen 2 back in the day, just because it was a sequel you know? It'd be unnatural to not be excited about it. The gen 3 comes along, and it's on a brand new system, with graphics that look absolutely stunning when compared to the first two generations, so it was just the way it looked if anything that made me look forward to it. Gen 4 introduced soooo many features that made Pokemon more enjoyable, Wi Fi being the biggest one.

If you had told me 10 years ago that one day I could trade with someone in Japan, I would've thought you were crazy.

Ver-go-a-go-go
If you beat X at 100% you get a different ending.
I haven't seen it yet as I have only gotten to about 94% before I lost interest.
But it is supposed to be really good, I have been thinking about loading it back up just to see it.
Takes at least 2 runs through the game to get 100% due to the different Albhed(sp?) letters that you can't get till late in the game.

You sure that's not X-2 you're talking about? Because I don't remember X ever keeping track of a percentage, while X-2 did. Plus, there's nothing really secret about the ending, except for the little bit at the end credits that turns out the be the beginning of the "Good Ending" in X-2.
