Pokemon Diamond & Pearl - Gotta Catch 'em All! ^_^

[Teh EkwEE]

30 Elite 4 runs is fairly easy, I'm saying to get something from level 5 to level 100 in one night is almost impossible, depending on Pokemon of course. Using the EXP share alone it takes 5-6 runs to get a level 5 Charmander to a level 36 Charizard if you let it evolve. I think that's how most people fill in their Pokedexs. Now to get that same, now level 36 Charizard to level 100 you're going to have to almost triple the runs, and that would be on it's own. It took me 20+ to get my Scizor from level 70 something to 100, much less from level 5 to 100.

The antagonists are called Team Galactic. ...Team Rocket is not coming back, ever. =(

*Waits*

[jarl]

team rocket was blatantly better.

[Cye Zero]

What team rocket's not coming back. That's it if Giovanni won't rebuild team rocket then I will. And we'll have bumber cars and blackjack and gaint robots. In fact forget the blackjack.

w00t you can import your pokemon from the GBA games to diamond and pearl. Should be useful... Took me sooo long to get that lvl 100 Black Charizard... ¬_¬; just over 5000 openings of that damn pokeball and YAY shiny charmander!



... Then I found out that unlike in G/S/C they removed decent preset IVs for shiny pokemon... Great.

Still, it had reasonable IVs so I trained it up some. It's roughly 1/8000 chance of a shiny pokemon is it not?

I wanted Black Rayquaza but no dice.



I can't wait until my fiendish Blissey reaches levevl 100 on Fire Red version.

It knows substitute and softboiled. Blissey can have over 700HP at lvl 100, that means that it's doll has around 180 Hp

It can heal the damage caused by substitute in a single softboiled.

It also knows toxic. So it can just poison your party and hide behind dolls and heal itself until all the enemy pokemon die by themselves XD or run out of PP ^_^

Its' last move is counter. Whatever HP damage is dealt to blissey with a physical attack is doubled and sent right back.

This works great on Blissey, cause it has loads of HP and hardly any defense. So it takes loads of HP damage, but survives due to collosal HP, counters back and 1-Hit-KOs a machamp. That'll teach people to use fighting mons' vs my Blissey -_-; fools.



Edit: I just remembered that in pokemon Silver, before I got Ruby and Fire Red, I found TWO shiny Golbats on Victory Road. So if anyone still plays those slightly older games and wants a shiny Crobat... Make one from the shiny Golbats you may find on V.Road.

Since the "Metal" editions of pokemon (Gold/Silver/Crystal) have decent preset IVs for shiny pokemon, don't worry so much that you'll be losing out on some EV point training by catching the pokemon as a Golbat.

Wouldn't daimond and peral have some new attacks that weren't on the other games. So you lv.100 pokemon might miss out on some cool new attacks wouldn't they?

[Anti Hacker]

LOL I am pretty sure NO new attack will make me want to change Darkizards attack layout so don't you worry about that.

Fire Blast
Blast Burn (power 120, accuracy 100, downside of immobility on turn following but... accuracy 100! - nuff said)
Sky Attack (There's more than one way to skin a cat... Or pwn a leaf pokemon! Why waste perfectly good fire when you can dive-bomb the critters? XD)
Earthquake (Pwnzors electric pokemon who try to smite charizard :'( - works because most electric pokemon have phailing def stats, and charizard has good att ^_^ also good vs fellow fire mons.)

[Reigast]

I can finally remake my legendary vaporeon =D

And i need to find some way of getting my awesome Absol off of colleseum onto a cart =/

[Anti Hacker]

It's called a GBA-GC link cable Is colleseum good? Or is XD Gale of Darkness better? Or are they the same game...? I'm so confused about GC pokemon!

[PD Edge]

Pokemon XD is the sequel to Collesum. They are in the same area Orre but just a few years apart. Collesum is fun as every battle in the game is double battle. So you get use to making up new battle strategys.

Oh in Diamond and Pearl, if you didn't know the attacks all got reworked. Attacks are now physical, special, or other. This means moves category is no longer bases on the type of the attack. Hyper beam was a normal attack so was based on your atk stat, now its a special attack type, so you special attack determines the damage.
