some new moves and Abilities and such.

Stuff I think is cool:

Sacred Sword: Fighting move, 90 power, ignores all stat changes.
Trickery: Dark move, 95 power, increases in base power if the enemy has a higher Attack stat.

Slip Through: new Ability, you ignore Reflect and Light Screen
Mischevious Heart: non-attack moves have priority. Only exists on two of the Legendary Genies, but come on: Priority Tailwind would be awesome in Doubles/Triples
Eccentric: New ability. You Transform into the enemy when you enter battle. New Ditto Ability?

Ugh. I had to help me mam a bit while she's tried to play SoulSilver. I shouldn't have looked through this thread. I see talk of EV/IV/whateverV, breeding -starters- to get moves I've never heard of and the right balance of stats otherwise IT'S ALL WORTHLESS, recatching Pokemon over and over again to get the right "nature" (what?), and somehow having stuff like Golem and Alakazam before Whitney. Bah. (How do you trade with a DS, anyway?)

She's got a team of level23-25 Quilava, Onix, Weepinbell, and Gastly. And is stuck at a, er, level 31 Poliwrath in the 5th gym? Yeah. My head hurts looking at all this complex stuff I never knew about 10 years ago.

I caught a Magikarp when she wasn't looking and am Pokewalking it some levels though... evolves at 20 right?

EDIT: Before anyone raises an eyebrow, she's got motor neurone disease and I stay at home now to look after her. But getting her a DS was a bad idea! >.>

10 years ago, natures/EVs didn't exist, although EVs replaced a similar mechanism, iirc. They aren't important to a basic run, though; it's mostly a competative thing.

And trading by DS basically requires a second DS with a DS Pokemon game. No cables or anything required. And yeah, Magikarp evolves at level 20. That's why it can be such a gamebreaker early on.

Getting it to 20 can be annoying, though. It levels up slooooooooow.

**Revising Ocelot** · 09-20-2010, 06:16 AM

And that's why I like the Walker. Darn fish can't fight for itself even with Tackle, takes more experience to level than 2nd stage evolutions, and gets half exp due to switching it out every fight. A few walks over the weekend though and I've got it up to 17 now. I suppose I'll have to do 19-20 'manually' though as it probably won't evolve in the Walker.

Think I'll do the same with an Abra later...

Oh, and there's nobody I know in a radius of 20 miles from me that would possibly own something like Pokemon, but a quick perusal through the manual says it can hijack my wireless router and actually trade and battle online. I'm shocked, in a good way!

So I heard that Gen V has the option to just fight random dudes online, without having to do the friendcode rigmarole beforehand, if you feel like just fighting, rather than against a specific person. Is that true?

Also: I wonder what the new Stadium equivalent will be like.

This is the first generation where I've been unsure which game to get. I was always a Red fan, Silver was awesome, Ruby was superior, and Diamond had Scyther. But now, I'm not sure. I mean yes, White has Jellybear, Golemech, and Wargle, but Black has Cottonmon, Savulture, and iirc, the Ridermon. I'm torn. I mean, Golmech can fly, but RIDERMON. It seems I'm gonna need to get my bro to start playing again...

The mech is exclusive to White? Guess I'll be getting White. Sucks that serebii had to pull it's images.

PLDH still have them. Much better quality as well.

Here, have some sprites.

Thanks, you're right those are much better. And I thought you were referring to #622 and #623 when you said golemech. I can't find anything saying those 2 are exclusive to White, so I guess you weren't.
