Pokemon Discussion/Friends Code List
 

Okay so I notice there's quite a few of us here who are playing Pokemon(either 3rd generation R/S/E or 4th Generation D/P). I figure we can post here about it and start up a friend's code list so we can all trade/battle with each other.

I also realize there's some who don't know about Effort Point training. If it's your first time playing Pokemon I would just not bother dealing with it until atleast beating the game your first time.

Effort Value Point Training:

Basically it works like this: Each Pokemon gives a point into a certain stat(hp/speed/def/spdef/atk/spatk). You need 4 of those points to gain a bonus stat when you level up.

Let's take Zubat for instance. Zubat offers 1 point in Speed. Defeating 4 zubats will give you 4 EV points in Speed. When you level up, you will gain 1 extra point into speed that you wouldn't have gained normally. So say you defeat 20 zubats before you hit the next level up. You would gain an extra 5 points in your pokemon's speed stat. There are items you can use to give you even more EV points per battle(Macho Brace).

Pokemon Breeding:

I'll just stick with the basics on this. Female Pokemon determine what Pokemon you will get when the egg hatches. Male Pokemon pass on moves(each pokemon can only learn certain moves passing on through breeding).

Ditto is neutral gender so it can be used instead of a female pokemon, and is needed for breeding with nonlegendary neutral gendered pokeys.

There's way too much other info to post it all in this OP, but there's some good sites out there that have better more indepth coverage.

On to the list! Please either pm or reply to this thread with your code.

I've been playing Pkmn since I was 10 (that was when Red and Blue came out) and I still play the games. The tv-series and all that can go die. It's about the GAMES, dammit. :madbloo: The games has such a wonderful structure and was the new fresh thing when I was little D: Now when people hear the word Pokémon they think of bad limited animation for 5 year olds and collecting cards

As for friend codes... I'd love to give mine, however, my router is not compatible with my DS. I can't get online. Also, I played D/P when it came out in Japanese TWICE then again TWICE when it came out in English... so I'm a little fed up with the game 8D

If I see another Bidoof, I swear I'll... *grumble grumble*

I'd be on the list if it weren't for those over sensitive DS cards. My Diamond had a dent in it, just a small dimple. But apparently that dent was too much for it and decided to kill itself.

So yeah. Now I'm stuck playing Sapphire all day. I'll probably wait until the third version comes out so I can buy it/make someone buy it for me. Hopefully the latter.

I think while Sapphire/Ruby brought back some popularity in the series to older teens/adults, I've noticed a much larger increase since Diamond/Pearl. It's almost like it's not completely lame anymore to play it(hell even Gabe from Penny-Arcade went to a tournament recently).

Also yeah I completely forgot, my router doesn't tend to work either with my DS(though oddly I have no problems with my Wii). I'm still trying to see if there's a work around for it, but I can use it at other hot spots. Which reminds me: Anyone have any Wii codes they'd like to exchange? I'm always up for a round of Battle Revolution too. :bloogrin:

Oh btw, I'm in the process of making a new Aggron for my team. I used to have him a straight up brute force guy, but his moveset was terrible and I think I'd messed up on EV training when I first got him in Sapphire. I'm not at home atm or I'd check what Nature I went with(pretty sure it was one with a +spdef bonus) but here's what I have planned so far:

-Killdozer(aggron)
Hold Item: Hard Stone
Rockslide
Roar
Stealth Rock
Rock Polish

Essentially I'd like to find a better item since he's going to rarely be using an actual attack move. I got really lucky getting Hard Stone(5% drop rate on Aron's. Gives a large boost to atk).

Battle plan is to use Rock Polish to boost his speed a ton, then Stealth Rock and continually use Roar, sending it back and when they send out the next guy they get hit with Stealth Rock. Since Aggron has such a huge Defense I'm hoping the guys they use will just be attack users since its base Sp.Def stat is terrible. Rockslide is just there if I need a normal decent attack.

Ouch, I don't think I could wait till the third version comes out. It took about a year before Emerald was released.

dude i named my infernape after that guy.

anyways i never understood why people do all this EV-training and stuff, but eh. i guess people take this game way serious. but again eh. Im still waiting for a gold/silver/crystal re-release (like firered and leafgreen.) that'd be so awsome. :D

oh yeah id give you my friend code but i cant really get any good wifi connections right now. :(

Yeah, my Wii gets online fine, too :P I don't have my Wii code HERE though... and it's 10:30 pm and I'll have to look it up tomorrow XD And oh yeah, I forgot Gabe went there. Even though that "arc" has one of my favorite strips in it

I don't enjoy actually doing the EV training. It's long and incredibly tedious. It's the end results that are why I do it. Your pokemon are guaranteed to be stronger through EV training, making for more interesting battles. I enjoy playing against others online so for me I can deal with the extra training.

It's amazing what you can do with even the most worthless of pokemon with the right EV training and move set.

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/07/27 8D I like this one.

That one is hilarious too XD But I just love how the army cries "THE ARMY CHOOSE YOU!!"

it's so silly, yet, as Gabe said, it would be totally awesome IF it was true <3

I would enter my Diamond code, but I can't find the game. Plus, my router doesn't allow Pokemon battles. I can't get to my Wii at the moment, but I don't my router will work for Battle Revolution. It's worth a test, though, so I'll be trying soon, most likely tomorrow. BTW, the sequel to Mystery Dungeon uses Wi-Fi also.

yeah that would be nice. but personally i prefer just battling what and how i feel like battling. it makes for a more fun experience. espically when theres nobody around to worry about being stronger than.

I'm EV training as of right now. I training my Adamant Pupitar with Dragon Dance, and I going to catch a Adamant or Jolly Slakoth, so it would later be a Vigoroth, then a Slaking in a few days. Slaking has good base stats, it's major weakness is Fighting moves and it's Traunt ability.

Makes it more fun for you maybe. I enjoy the aspect of pitting my own guys against others personally(which is odd, I'm not normally the competitive type in mmo's). It's only not fun when my guys get slaughtered because I didn't take the effort to EV train them.

Different strokes I guess. I understand not everyone finds this method enjoyable. I'm just not one of them. :P

Now if only those darn kids would stop playing Battle Revolution with full teams of Legendaries! :edmad:

I'd also like to hear how those work out for you when you're finished Crash.

I don't EV train. I feel that EV training can really sap all the originality out of the Pokemon experience. With all the elitists and hardcore players, it's nice to just use your own unique Pokemon.
I usually don't have to worry too much about super-duper-uber pokemon since I have a thing for the one-hit-KO moves.;)

They have such little accuracy, though

Exactly, I think I've maybe gotten hit once by a 1hko move. It's a little hard to pull those off when they have such horrendous accuracy.

Also I'd like to point out EV training has nothing to do with unique pokemon. o_O I mean I try to find ones that compliment each other but they're also ones I like and are usually underplayed anyway(I have a Carnivine on my team which hardly anyone uses due to their stupidly low speed. I've also toyed around with Ariados).

I only offered some advice about EV training in the OP because I figured not everyone knows about that method of raising pokemon and some people enjoy getting the most out of their guys. :sadbendy:

Really? My Kyogre pulls off Sheer Cold on a semiperfect no-miss ratio. Also, as soon as I find Diamond, I'm going to EV train my Infernape in the way of Special Defence. It's his biggest weakness.

yeah. i believe sheer cold is maybe the only 1-hit KO with good accuracy.

I don't use ubers when I'm battling. I do consider using non-uber legendaries like: Raikou, Suicune, Regice, and Registeel.

ubers take alot of the fun out of the game. but it does make for easy leveling-ups of other pokemon. :D

by the way, anyone else notice just how awsome rotom is?

Rotom is a good Pokemon, it's Levitate ability makes it immune to Ground-type attacks. However, since Rotom is an Electric and Ghost type, it's weak against Dark and Ghost types. It's defenses aren't as good, either.

well yeah. but i meant that he just looks awsome. :)

That's actually the 1 move that got one of my guys recently while playing Battle Revolution online. 8D Cheesed me off something terrible I can tell you that much!

But yeah, it's hard to pull of a 1hko when you never know who's going to be fastest unless you memorize every pokemon's base speed stats. The thought of that makes my head spin. x___x There have been a few times where I figured I'd have the upper hand in speed and my opponent surprised me with them going first.

You know, if you go to a certain point in Battle Revolution's survival battles, the Pokemon use almost nothing but 1-hit KOs. It's sooo hard to survive after 30.

Whoops, I didn't think about posting my PBR code. I'll edit this in a min.

Ugh, here we go with the GS remake. The other forum I go to won't shut up about it. It's going to be a never-ending cycle. Right now, you're whining about a GS remake. Next, you'll be whining about an RS remake, then a DP remake, then a 5th generation remake, then remakes for the neglected third version games, then another RB remake...

By the time the remakes stop, Apple will buy out Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and SEGA

See I only played enough of the single player mode to get the outfit pieces I wanted for my character. It seemed too easy otherwise(except Neon colloseum..I hate that place. And Sunset). I may give it another go to see that. :3

Also I'll add your code in a moment, Ricky. I'm trying to get some of my homework done needed for my next class in a few hours. Is that for PBR or D/P btw?

I also don't think they'll make a G/S remake. Even if they do, I don't imagine they'll release it for a loooong time since they'll likely ship out a 3rd installment of this generation next year. There's always been a large gap between the generations.

PBR

Anyone hear about Pokemon Ranch? It's going to be one of WiiWare's games where you import your DP PKMN and... do stuff... like take pictures of them with your Mii... and other stuff like... um... uhh... you can import them from DP and*bricked*

No news here.

Duuuude, no I haven't heard about this! :O Thanks for the link! It sounds amazing.

I'll add your code to the list. I'm actually turning on my Wii now to play so I'll grab my PBR code as well! :cheese:

Edit: Updated Code List

I'm currently EV training my Vigoroth, It'll be Slaking in a few days. I'm aware of it's Traunt ability though.

You know, I've recently restarted my PMD file. I haven't gotten very far, I'm stuck at Mt. Thunder. I still can't wait for the PMD sequel, though! I could use some training, though, so does anybody need saving in a dungeon with wild Pokemon levels 19 and under?
Also, look what I made out of boredom!

EDIT: Also, for those confused, the "#503" thing is because I took 493 (the total # of Pokemon in the National Dex), added 9 (to leave space for starters), and went to the next number. the 1/153 is because I plan on making 153 Pokemon splices and putting them into cards. I'm up to 2.

I don't even wanna think about what that'll look like when it evolves! :cry:

lol good job. 8D

Yeah, I don't know how I'll be making Kakupod. 8D
