Seel/Dewgong was my favorite from the game and Pikachu and Marill from the shows. Merill is probably the only new pokemon I like, but he's so freaking cute, how can you not like him?

Alex C · « **Reply #101 on:** 06 Apr 2010, 13:30 »

Linds, it's spelled "Marill," not "Merill." Normally, I wouldn't care, but in this case it is important.

You see, your post caused me to do a GIS of "Pokemon Merill" which leads to this:

No, the drawing is worst closest to the bottom. But at no point is it not, um, problematic.

I didn't even read that part of your post; I came back to comment on how that is the most awful pokemon, and you already did.

Right now I'm playing HeartGold and leveling a Gastly who I use quite frequently in my team.

Thing is I only just remembered that you have to trade Haunter to evolve it into Gengar, now I don't feel like using Gastly anymore because he will never live up to my high expectations.

People who say that only the first 150 Pogeymanz are the "true" pogeymanz clearly never played the boring as fuck RBY Alakazam/Eggy/Gengar/Rhydon/Starmie/Tauros metagame of blaahhahahahah paralysis.
Even GSC's skarmbliss joltwack curselax nonsense is more fun.

The quality of game mechanics is rather separate from the quality of character designs. I mean shit, they were already kinda reaching by the end of the first 150 pokemon. There's new ones that are more coherent than some of the originals, but frankly, it's hard to come up with 300+ winners.

How did they fuck this up? It's not as though a rock is hard to make and yet half these robots look like shit in both states. I mean come on, you could conceal anything in a rock. They could potentially be the most badass robots ever. Also, what do they do in their rock form? Fuck all I imagine...

a pack of wolves · « **Reply #118 on:** 07 Apr 2010, 19:38 »

Some of them looked better than that photo makes them appear, in robot form anyway. I remember Nuggit having some quite nice detailing. They all did look shit as rocks though, and the only thing I could ever think of to do with their rock forms was a plot where they ambush someone who thought they were rocks. That scenario has a pretty short shelf life.

Slick · « **Reply #119 on:** 07 Apr 2010, 21:06 »

I like following the implications of that scenario. Like, everyone would just start blasting the shit out of every rock they saw until they lived in a veritable gravel world, at which point they'd have to design some sort of gravel-swimming shape so that they could move through the sea of pebbles undetected.

This is the best assumption he could make, really. Good on him. I mean, at least he knows the internet exists.

My dad knows that the internet exists, but he only uses it to go to the DNR website, or to play around on Google Earth. Watching him use a computer is comedy gold.

If I may, I'd like to bring up the subject of pokemon again. Of all existing pokemon, it seems only Geodude levitates. Pokemon seem to either fly, swim, walk, or crawl. But not levitate. Furthermore, when Geodude evolves to Graveller, he seems to lose his ability to levitate. Why can Geodude levitate? How does he levitate? Why does he lose his ability to levitate after evolving? Perhaps he is also secretly a psychic type piokemon? This seems unlikely given that his type is listed as rock. I feel the only way to answer these questions is to dissect a Geodude to see what makes it tick.

Yayniall · « **Reply #126 on:** 13 Apr 2010, 13:20 »

Geodude doesn't levitate, he propels himself around by way of his arms.
Koffing levitates.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #127 on:** 13 Apr 2010, 13:28 »

the magnemite family levitates

BUT THAT'S FUKKEN MAGNETS

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Iron_Fist · « **Reply #128 on:** 13 Apr 2010, 13:46 »

This is true, both the Koffing and Magnemite genus levitate also. I will have to adjust my theory. And Geodude most certainly does levitate. Even if his arms are crossed he still floats around.

EDIT: Revised statement. Geodude seems to be the only pokemon that floats, and then loses the ability to float upon its evolution to Graveller. The opposite seems to happen in the case of Bellsprout, it walks, and then evolves to Weepinbell, whereupon it gains the ability to float. Both the Koffing and Magemite genus float all the way through their respective evolutionary trees. Most curious.

Ghastly and Haunter also float, but they're ghosts. But Gengar is also a ghost and he walks! This doesn't make sense.

"In the original Pokémon Red/Blue, when you encounter your rival in Lavender Town he asks whether or not you know what it's like to have one of your Pokémon die. At this point in the game, he no longer has his Raticate that he used in previous battles.Your rival battle before this took place aboard the S.S. Anne. Your rival's Raticate sustained serious injuries from the battle...but, because crowding and confusion on the luxury liner, he was unable to make it to a Pokémon Center in time and the Raticate passed away. The real reason your rival is in Lavender Town to begin with is to lay his deceased friend to rest.Despite all of this, your rival never outwardly tells you that you're responsible for the death of his Pokémon. He hides his grief and instead channels that energy into the motivation he needed to continue his quest to become Indigo League Champion. The death of his Raticate effectively destroys your rival's impish, childhood innocence. Although he tells himself that he doesn't hold you responsible, he subconsciously holds a great deal of resentment towards you which further fuels his ambitions.Tearfully swearing upon his Raticate's grave to not fail in what he set out to do, he trains hard in hopes of becoming better than you...defeating you...and to eventually make it to the Pokémon League. Mere moments after he became Indigo League champion, he was defeated...by you. Although he fulfilled his promise to his fallen Pokémon, it was only for a painfully brief instant.In the end, your rival is scolded by his grandfather while you receive the professor's praise. During the course of the game, you steal your rival's innocence, crush his dreams, and ultimately snatch away the love of his own grandfather. Oh, and by the way, your rival doesn't have any parents. He's an orphan."
