Ehhh I used to be into it super competitively, but ehh idk. I hate all the new pokemanz and I would have to buy another Action replay or some crap.

Lets be real now son, no one wanna take the time to raise a pokeman to lvl100 on their own LOL. Had to cheat to get infinite rare candys and put codes to fight poekmanz like golem to gain faster EV for Def or codes for fast egg hatching lol. Fun times though.

In HG/SS, I believe you can have your Pokemon auto-leveled to 100 when you battle.

Fly is an awful move, Baji. 70 power for a two turn attack? Ew. Peck is just as strong. Strength is super outclassed by Return. The good HM moves are Surf and Waterfall, and that's it.

Didn't know Fly was changed in 4th gen. Even then, Wing Attack is still better. Fly's only possible use is on like, an annoyer Crobat...which is kinda laughable in its own respect.

Yes Chibo, but ANNOYER Crobat? No, not really, lol. <_< There are a billion better sets.

Ether, I agree. IVs are the reason I don't want to build a team ingame like my friends from school are doing. They aren't IV breeding either, but I'm a perfectionist and would refuse to have ****ty IVs and lose because I was slightly outsped/didn't do just enough damage.

Pokesav ftw, I suppose, though I still prefer online Pokemon because of how slow-paced ingame battles are.

Yup, I co-sign this. IVs need a revamp for sure. The series has competitive potential, but RNG needs to be reduced.

Imo, the series' competitive potential has already been maximized by the simulators and hacks. They're making an effort to make IV/nature **** easier via Everstones/power items, but still...gay. You also can't do all of them at once.

I think random criticals might have to go and make it so things that raise critical hit rate are the only way to score them. It might make certain walls unbeatable, though... Then again, if they could afford to stat up that much, they probably deserve that immortal status.

I also don't like the idea of the PP system and Struggle.

Crits should be out completely, imo. They could balance the game so that tanks wouldn't be OP, without getting lucky crits. Take evasion/accuracy boost/decrease moves out of the game.

They could do a lot with PP, or even explore various other resource options.

I hate SRing.

Just bred a Gible with an Attack IV of 31 and a Speed of 27-31...

Wish I was playing HGSS, so I could guarantee that 31 Attack on an offspring.

Pokemon is so ****ing annoying. All I want is a modest Porygon and have yet to hatch one after about 40 eggs. What a waste of time.

It took me like 45 Gibles to get a Jolly female, last night.

Now, i'm breeding for IVs. Stupid *** game.

They've hinted that Black/White will revolutionize the series. Hopefully they fix this.

IVs need to ****ing go, for real. asldjf;lsadjfkljas;dl

You can make me need Cut to access the Elite Four or something, but if GameFreak ever hopes to get me into playing competitively on a cart, then they NEED to get them out of here.

Much easier solution: get 9999 coins, go to the game corner in celadon and save infront of the prize guy. get a porygon, if its not modest soft reset.

Chibo:

Female or Ditto @Everstone has a 50% chance to pass on its nature.

Female or Ditto @Power Wrist/Bracer/Lens/Belt/Anklet or whatever they're called has a 50% chance to pass on the IV of whatever stat that item raises the EVs of during training.

Have the parent hold a "Power" item, and it passes on the IV to the offspring, guaranteed I think. There are power items for each stat.

Edit: Oh, 50%.

Bored of Pokemon, so i'm messing around with my old copy of Soul Calibur 3. I think this series is super underrated. You have a staggering amount of options, it's beautiful. The move properties are really, really sexy. It would require too long of a post to detail what the game engine allows you to do. 3D fighters in general are underplayed, imo.

I dont have a memory stick and this is free. I still rather play it on psp but this works fine.

I should name every main character after someone in juice.
