The simple solution is that you're an idiot.

>"I never had a Steelix in Gen 2"
Legit, Steelix w/ Screech was amazing, I basically hit everything with it once, then proceed to anally demolish them. I believe it also uses the pokemon's cry when you use it, or is that Growl?
This move is acceptable, Defence Curl did the exact same thing and was more useful (rollout) than this.

REGION
LOCK
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU
WHY DID I EVEN UPDATE MY 2DS WITH IRONHAX FUUUUUUUUUUUCK GOD DAMN IT
WHAT'S EVEN THE POINT OF REGION LOCKING THE GAMES IT DOESN'T STOP PIRATES IT JUST STOPS LEGITIMATE PEOPLE LIKE ME FROM PLAYING THE GAMES
>>25752745
should've just bought a R4
>>25752757
I don't want to pirate
that aside, I DID have one but the stupid fucking chinks took so long to send it (4 months) I thought they just scammed me and I updated my 2ds outside of the supported firmware
>>25752745
Downgrade to 9.2 from 10.7 and set up a9lx or an emunand with a cfw idiot
Would you buy S&M if the trailer reveals it's an ARPG?
I wouldn't, wouldn't even pirate it.
It won't be.
>>25752742
I wouldn't as well. However, I wouldn't mind a Spin-Off ARPG Pokémon game.
>>25752804
Obviously, programming an ARPG for all those models would drive the lazy fucks at Gamefreak to sudoku.
This should evolve into a narwhal.

I've always liked this one the best.
How many of you had these
I used mine a lot and I have good memories of flipping through it
I had this one that was more like a handbook
It had Colosseum and Gale of Darkness which was awesome
>>25748412
Still have mine.
I still have that diploma they handed out at the events.
Mapping for the first time and wanted some advice. I'm cool with scrapping this map and starting over, this is just to show elements I want in it.
It's the starting route, and it's supposed to be a burnt down forest that is regrowing. I want there to be a house surrounded by water that you can revisit once you have surf, or maybe a bridge to it to immediately visit it.
Also, if you know of any tile sets that I should download, posts those. Thank you.
there sure are a lot of leaves on those trees for a burnt down forest
>>25746594
The grass is shit. Why have one or two tiles of grass all on their lonesome
Grass should be treated as two things: an obstacle and a place to grind/capture wild Pokemon. In one you want to avoid the grass, which should be made difficult especially if you're going in a specific direction (ledges allow grass avoidance)
The latter forces large swathes of grass for running around in looking for wild Pokemon.
One or two tiles all on their lonesome does nothing and it irks me to no end when mappers do that.
>>25746605 is right, you probably want a majority of the trees to be leafless if it was a recently burnt down forest. Also I would just put a bridge to the house. Other than that it looks pretty good.
Why does GameFreak have so much trouble designing a good shark Pokemon? All I'm asking for is a cool predator fish that looks like it's ready to rip someone's face off, not half a shark or some pseudo shark walking abomination. Seriously what the fuck GameFreak?
KYS autist
So you just want a generic cartoon shark then?
>not liking garchomp

Pretty much how this Saturday will go:

I loved seeing /vp/'s reaction to these because it's always insane hype and then
>fucking nothing!
you joke, but this was actually a perfect reveal of initial gameplay considering it was midway through a generation and everybody already knew the entirety of both kanto and johto
Well if they show the starters like they did in that video then that would be more than enough.
>>25750975
AwaWawAwAawAWa!!

Out of all of Ashy-boy's Pokemon, who is his MVP?
>>25748597
Why are Charizard's toe-claws so uneven in that pic?
>>25748924
you dont have a cat im guessing
What are the hardest Pokemon to catch in each of the generations? Besides the obvious Event Pokemon?
For example, trying to catch Shuckle in X and Y is pretty hard if you don't have a friend safari, it only has a 5% encounter rate and you need to rely on smashing a small amount of rocks in a area, which doesn't always guarantee in a Pokemon encounter.
I guess Feerbas is the obvious one for R/S/E...
Chansey in gen 1 and FR/LG
>>25748524
>mfw i decided to catch shuckle on a whim and got one on the first rock without knowing the encounter rate
maybe i should try my hand at shiny huntingNever tell me the odds.
