Viktorkrum77 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I always applauded the CEO's at the head of Pok̮̩̉̉mon. Though I hate there guts, I have to admit they are very smart. It's like the enemy of whom you don't agree with their actions, but there ideas are amazing. Pok̮̩̉̉mon was a huge success, and began a whole new industry. It was the best coporate idea I've ever seen. Almost like a corporate scam. I don't believe in hooking kids on something so they'd buy it, but it was a great idea, and worked too. It's kind of like gambling for kids, you never knew what you were going to get. It got you all pumped up, I seriously think it was as bad as actual gambling addiction is now-a-days. Except it doesn't eat up all your money, only some. Best part yet, those cards were very easy and cheap to make, I took one apart to prove it. Me doing staff.

Kiriyama Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Dude, I haven't played pokemon since I was 6. How old are you? People that think like you are annoying. I played the crap out of Silver about 2-3 years ago and it was great fun. Though as ther people have said, it gets repetitive. They really went downhill with the 3-4th generations though. Gold/Silver were the best IMO. Cloning FTW! Yeah I spent ages on getting almost every pokemon (I cheated the levels too.) Anyway I have Sapphire. My mate started a new game. Lost a level 100 Rayquaza. A Groundon and a whole load of others that were only on Ruby. My other mate then loses Ruby and gets Sapphire.

malo2 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Even though the show is down right gay (altho its still kinda fun from time to time :))...the games own! I love playing them, but I havent in a while. Its also funny how insecure people are nowdays. Go into some public chat area that is open to anyone (such as f2p runescape), and start singing the original intro song. You will be flamed by everyone just so they wont look like they like it. Its funny, I tried. Lastfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Well, Pokemon isn't just based on a child perspective, it requires shall we say, techniques. Here I will explain why this isn't a kids game. Heres a Basic Pikachu Moveset (Probably by a kid): Pikachu Level 100 Thunder Thunderbolt Thunderwave Thundershock Now the above set up is completely based on electrical attacks. Good, I don't think so, this is the perspective most kids think about. Ground > Electric types. Now that is true in most cases, someone with basic mathmatical knowledge (More of a teen perspective) would have something such as: Pikachu Level 100 Modest Nature @ Light Ball Rain Dance Thunder Surf Light Screen Now this is a more complex moveset. Some examples include that a Nature and a held item are considered. Now the Modest Nature is one that increases the Special attack of a Pokemon, but reduces the Attack as a catch. This is perfect for a Special Sweeper (A pokemon based on attacking using special attacks). Light Ball, is a held item that doubles the Special Attack of said Pikachu. This would double the power of the move Surf (Water type) and Thunder (Electric type). Rain Dance, a weather effecting move, gives certain bonuses, both good and bad. The good bonuses are that is doubles the power of all Water type moves, which makes surf x4 normal power with light ball. Another effect is that thunder has 100% accuracy. Now, usually one would use Thunderbolt instead as it has a base 100% accuracy (Even though it shows 100%, its really 99.7%). Using Rain dance, Thunder > Thunderbolt. The final move is Light Screen, which cuts all Special attack moves used by your opponent in half. This is useful if you want Pikachu to survive a special attack. If someone used a fire type move, it would be reduced in half because of Light Screen and also by Rain Dance. Pikachu would indefinably survive. The kids moveset has a reason. Its cuz they know about STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which will multiply a move if used by the same type x1.5 (Basically Pikachu is Electric and Thunder is too) Though you want to utilise STAB, its a bad idea to have all 4 of your moves the same type, as you can't do anything to Pokemon that are strong against those types. "Evolve Pikachu n00b, it gets stronger!" Again a true said statement, but by evolving it into Raichu, you lose Light Ball's Effectiveness. So Surf would only get a x2 boost from Rain dance, not the x4 from said Light Ball. One last thing, training endlessly on random Pokemon is a bad idea. For the said Pikachu, you would want to fight only Zigzagoon, and Spinda (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald) or Gastly and Pidgey (Fire Red, Leaf Green). Why? Because certain Pokemon give an invisible number, also known as Effort Values (EV). For Zigzagoon and Pidgey, they give 1 EV in the Speed stat. Spinda and Gastly give 1 EV in Spec AttackHow is this useful? Well, for every 4 EV's in a stat, you gain one extra point for that stat. What's the catch? Well the maximum EV's you can get in a stat is 255, and the total maximum is 510. So with 255 EV's, you would gain 64 Extra points of speed. If you trained with EV's and your opponent didn't that said Pikachu would obliterate your opponents team even if they were the same level. Why? With 64 extra points in speed, you would most surely go first, and putting 64 more points in spec attack combined with the Rain Dance and Light ball, their team ain't gonna live very long... BTW: If I made Pokemon sound complex, its because it is. It's evolved from just a mere child's game, and is now played on a competitive scale (Also known as the Metagame). Tell a kid any of this, and their head will explode. So end the stereotype that Pokemon is a kids game :wink: PS: Yes I was bored -.- The Complete MTA Handbook | Runecrafting Pouch Analysis | Mobilizing Armies Locator Index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
