POKEMON THREAD!

Okay, I've read a couple articles about it on different sites and I'm still confused as fuck about it.

Can someone explain to me EV training in normal-people terms?

this.

RAZOR

I'm glad I'm not alone in the EV confusion. :-))

The way I understand it is that with EV training each pokemon gives a certain number of ev points when you defeat them and the more you beat the more of a stat bonus you get when your pokemon levels.

Ex. In Diamond/Pearl Starly gives 1 ev point. So if I spent my time beating only starlys then when my pokemon leveled its speed stat would be raised more.

The copy of Pokemon Blue had a dead battery, so I lost my progress. I'm returning the game and gameboy tomorrow.

I just caught 3 legendary last night... Time to mix of my lineup. say good bye to surphant, embore, and some stupid water pokemon I had.

>> half his team is legends and says my team sucks


;-)

aren't legonds good to have on your team? They seem to have a high HP and have dual elements so they can have many different types of attacks.

School me ol' grand master.

Last night I finally captured:

B/W noob. What's that one called?

Also, why the fuck is that afro-ox wearing a tie?

You quoted it! (it was in the url). lol. landorus is his name. To get him you have to catch two other roaming that look just like him and those two appear in different games. So basically you have to catch one, and then try and trade someone for theirs. I masterballed him.

Thanks!

What about the afro ox with a tie?

WakeOfAshes

I don't know why he is wearing a tie. maybe because pokemon is dumb? :-))

sbs_will

Haha yeah. What's his name?

Where do pokemon pick up their accesories? I mean, Hypno has the pendulm, Alakazam has spoons, and that thing has a tie.

WakeOfAshes

his name is bouffalant. I dont think he really has a tie in the game. but some pokemon just have accessories. You dont pick that stuff up as far as I know.

Episode

Bouffalant literally looks like Tauros with an afro. And he doesn't actually have a tie, that was shopped in for that picture.

sbs_will

Gotcha.

Also, I recently beat pokemon blue for the first time, and I never knew until then that your pokeball could miss the pokemon.

I wasted 10 ultra balls on Zapdos, and then I found out that Great balls actually work better on it.

Because that totaly makes sense/
