The contests are rather addicting to me. Heh, Jigglypuff was my Tough Competitor, and Groudon was my Beauty. Amazingly they won all four rounds ^_^;

And I think the tough thing about catching Latias/os is actually encountering them, and then battling them long enough without them fainting or running away.

Shinobu won a Cute contest and three levels of Smart Contest. Cherry (my Blaziken) was my first champion, though. I believe she won at all four ranks of the Cool contest...

Ohhh Contest masters you must teach me! I suck at them hehe!

I got the little know game

called POKéMON Colosseum earlier today. I stink at impressions but here's some anyway.

I fell asleep playing...zzZz......which qualifies it as a successful PKMN game to me. Seriously if I can play it to the point of exhaustion it's good.

I tried the battle stadium for L100's and got cheaped a good few times before passing on it. Uh then I went to the 100-trainer mountain and beat the first 20 people a little to easily. No surprise though since there's 80 more to go.

Transferring/registerring PKMN to the game is nowhere near as fast as with the Stadium games. To be expected but still a down. Pre/Post-battle stuff also takes their time to mask loading. Colors are surprisingly toned down. Makes the game look less kiddy if you're into that. Overall it looks about DC style rpg. Not super impressive but it's pleasing and stays faithful to the GB games look.

Didn't yet bother with the supposed RPG mode. *shrug*

Luchia Nanami...

WHERE DID YOU GET COLOSSEUM HUH???? WHEREWHEREWHEREWHEREWHEREWHEREWHEREWHEREWHEREWHEREWHERE??????

sorry... I just really want the game... ONE more school day, until I can get it, unless my parents get lazy and refuse...

Only played a little of Pokemon
Not in a hurry play more

I think it's the most overrated game series ever. All you really do is just go out and catch monsters. It's suppose to be an RPG, but there's really no plot or storyline. Every Pokemon game, whether it be red, blue, black, silver, gold, green, turquoise, etc. is the same thing but just with different monsters or maybe some upgrades. Trying to beat Gary and the Elite 4 is not enough of a plot. When you beat them, you're just left in some cave to collect the rest of the Pokemon in the game. There's no ending whatsoever. And you may say that catching Pokemon is the fun part, well to me it's as fun as level building in Final Fantasy. There's no real strategy in the game except for the typical attacking ice Pokemon with fire ones, and the battle system is very simplified.

Got it. on the Final Boss, but he keeps killing me, or I don't get the Female I want to snatch away from him. *Master Ball.

Jumbled Thoughts · Post by **MarioKnight** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 9:47 am

Now that the US versions of FireRed and LeafGreen have been out for just over a week now, who's got them? I pre-ordered LeafGreen (since I already have the G1 Red) so I could get the free pocket trainer's guide. While it's not excatly pocket sized for me to keep in my pocket whereever I go, I'd have to admit it has more info in it that I had thought. It's like a really expanded instruction booklet, since it goes into more detail about the game with no maps, and the back pages are battle log templates, where you can write down your opponent's nane, the Pokémon and levels you and your opponent used, check off who won, and space to write notes on the battle's analysis. I think that would be pretty useful, though I don't see myself using it. The wireless adapter that come with every game is nice, I just wish I knew someone else with the game so I can try it out, maybe one day in the mall when I go into the union room (place in the Pokémon Center where wireless people can all meet and battle and trade and chat and such) there'll be some kids in there, but no luck yet, as it's always empty no matter where I try to access from.

As for the game itself, while full aware that this release is meant to milk cash, I love it. The G1 Pokémon series is the one I played most, and being able to relive the game with improved GBA graphics is just awesome. Not to mention they took some of the features from G2 and G3 and implemented them into this game, making a very well put-together package. Right now I've only just earned the cascade badge and on my way to see Bill the Pokémaniac, so I know I've got quite a ways to go, but the new stuff that comes ahead looks great. It seems that combining these games with the G3 Ruby/Sapphire games, you can get all 386 Pokémon from every game. That alone kicks so much ass since I know that it was a big deal that G3 couldn't do anything with G1 and G2 because of the technical differences between a GBX and a GBA. With the ability for all the Pokémon, the numbering system has been corrected, meaning that all the Pokémon numbers from G1/G2 are now back the way they were, and the new ones in G3 have the numbers that they should have been given in the first place. After you beat FireRed/LeafGreen, you get to travel to different islands where there's more to do (anyone know if they correlate with the Orange Islands in the anime?), and more importantly, where you can get a bunch of the Jotho Pokémon. It's also after you beat the game where the ability to connect with G3's Ruby/Sapphire is given. I'm pretty curious to see how the G3 games will react to a connection with these new G3.5 (I'll call them since they're not really a new generation but add a lot on) games.

I also picked up the guide when I picked up the game. Who wouldn't with all the info, not to mention 20% off the guide when you purchase the game with it. And like the ones before it (well, except the Gold/Silver ones, since they seperated guide and Pokédex and had them both retail for full price, rather than dock a few bucks off one or both of them), it was well worth the money. Nice expanded intro section detailing how every part of the game is played, good walkthrough though I do wish that they had the boxes of what Pokémon you can catch in what area as you go through like they had in previous guides which was very useful, and a kickass Pokédex that features all 386 Pokémon as well as all the item and attack and other info. The only thing the Pokédex is lacking is complete information for the Pokémon introduced in G3, though all are mentioned with basic stats and how to evolve them.

Overall, I'm very impressed with these new games so far, and am trying to blitz through them to enjoy all the new stuff after the game is beat.

to respond to your post Dan, they aren't the Orange Islands. those were just filler crap. except the concepts were fairly ORIGINAL. The original names were, "Rainbow Islands" but now they changed it to, "Sevii" islands. just sounds crappy. and all the islands now have RANDOM NAMES. X_X

otherwise, it's good. ^_^ I'll probebly get LG after I basiclly find time after playing FE6, or after going nuts for not being able to read Kana.

Sailor Sapphire · Post by **Sailor Sapphire** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 5:01 pm

A word of warning: Brock and Misty are harder to beat this time around...

Dinozore · Post by **Dinozore** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 5:07 pm

If I had money, I'd get them...

And there's a new game out in Japan, too: Emerald. It's the Yellow/Crystal version for Ruby and Sapphire, and seems to have a lot more old Pokemon in it, including... Mew. Of course, it needs a ticket to catch (

)

Starscream · Post by **Starscream** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 6:42 pm

Ah yes...as a long-time fan of Pokemon, I had to have FireRed. Jen got it for me as an early anniversary present, and there hasn't been a day since that I've not played it at least a little bit XD Like Dan said, yeah, it's Nintendo milking a very profitable cow, but I don't care; the ability to have a legitimate Blastoise in this generation of games is well worth the cost of the game.

I know how you feel about not having anyone to trade with readily, Dan; there was a time when I could find a few people as an undergrad with which to trade G1 Pokemon, but these days, I, too might have to go to a mall or the Pokemon Center in NY to find someone to get the ones I need.

Sailor Wind · Post by **Sailor Wind** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 7:23 pm

The only 2 series of pokemon i saw was the very first series and the 2nd series involving the orange league I think. I also loved the games also specially pokemon yellow and pokemon gold. I used to play them loads until i slowly started going off pokemon.

Wasn't there an episode of misty and ash kissing or something like that? Tried to find the clip or episode of it but can't find it anywhere :z.

DistantMemory · Post by **DistantMemory** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 8:34 pm

Uhhh... Sailor Wind? I think that maybe you should make a Pokemon anime series topic the Other Anime section if you want to discuss the anime.

But in reply to the Ash x Misty thing: as far as I can tell, not anytime soon (as much as I like that pairing). But I'm not letting that get to me, for I have a bigger bias towards another pairing... *coughJESSIExJAMEScough* XD;;;

Artemis · Post by **Artemis** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 8:47 pm

^_^ The Pokemon games are fun. I'm not a huge fan or anything, but I do have Red, Silver, and Crystal (but I lost Silver T__T). And I don't know ANY of the new Pokemon...I watched my cousin play Colesium (damn, I can't spell that), and I was like, "WTF? Who are those things?" ^_^;;

Names I've used:
Red: Kirby
Silver: Oscar (-__-...don't ask)
Crystal: I believe that I used Rei once, but I don't remember any others...
Collesium (Still can't spell it! =D): Hero's name was Jak, that redhaired girl's name was Kelly

My favorite Pokemon is Raikou...so very, very kickass...I also like Umbreon and Mew. =D
EDIT: Oh! And Seel!!!! I <3 Seel. I always used to get a Seel and name it Kim. XD

Well, I'm a bit late on this thread but....

I always moderately liked pokemon. I played Red on an emulator back in the day and found it to be moderately fun (minus the unfun factor of playing on an emulator). I got Yellow and enjoyed it. Never finished though, I felt that it was just too freaking tough and time consuming to level up your pokemon (plus i was a bit stupid and thought i could keep my ENTIRE ROSTER at approximately the same level). Silver was a similar story. I only got to about the third badge in that game.

Then I kind of fell out of the pokemon loop. Since I never beat the first two games, I figured it wasn't worth it to go any farther in the series. Then a few months ago I saw LeafGreen at EB and decided to buy it (what the heck was I thinking). I fell in love.

All of the annoying things about the first two games seemed to have been fixed. I love the VS. Seeker to death. I currently have beaten the Elite 4 twice (easy and hard) and have every pokemon you can catch in LeafGreen. I'm currently trying to get through the battle tower.

Now, on a different story. I've been hearing rumors that at Toys R Us locations across the nation they have a place set up where you can get an Aurora ticket (So you can get Deoxys). Has anybody else heard this?? I heard of it happening in Illinois............Keep your eyes peeled....(I WANT A DEOXYS!!!!)

I got Fire Red for Christmas. I haven't really played it much though... due to the fact I now am usually playing Pocket Monsters on Netbattle. *I can't get RSbot, so

<_<
>_>
Okay so I admit that I was a bit of a pokefanactic back in the day of 1999. But I recently got bored one day and discouvered my old Blue game and it rekindled my love of the game. What can I say, I love RPGs and this one is one of the best. I was recently thinking about buying Pokemon Crystal and was wondering if someone could tell me if it has the option that allows you to change names? I always like to give them their Japanese names. Also, I heard that Crystal has little animations for the pokemon in battle, do they look neat?

Oh, and Mew's my fav. She kicks ass.

Sailor Sapphire · Post by **Sailor Sapphire** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 11:17 am

Is it just me, or is anyone else excited about versions Diamond and Pearl for the DS?

Oh, and the Deoxys movie is going to be on the WB on the 22nd...

Hmm...apparently one can get Mew without a game shark or Nintendo Rep. I found this site and near the bottom it has a cheat code for getting a level 7 Mew. I may try this when I have some spare time. I found this code a while ago, but it was just on a fan site. It'll only work for the original Blue and Red. I heard it may work for Yellow, but I'm not sure. For convience I'll quote the entire thing here:

Only Way To Get Mew #2
Apparently, catching a Mew is no longer bee-ess. This glitch has been verified by IGN Pokemon Board Mods, so you know.

Restart your game and play until you get HM02 Fly from the house west of Celadon City (or just beat the third gym and get the badge that lets you use fly out of battle and trade pokemon that know fly to the new game).

IMPORTANT!!: DO NOT fight the following trainers:
The Youngster with a Slowpoke (level 17) on the road to Bill's house(Route 25). He is the fourth trainer after you cross Nugget Bridge, standing directly above a female trainer and facing north.
The Gambler with two poliwags and a poliwhirl (all level 22) between Lavender Town and Saffron City (Route 8). He is standing just east of the entrance to Saffron City, facing north toward the door of the Underground Path. Care fully follow the series of steps illustrated below...

Make sure you have a pokemon that knows FLY. Make sure you have a level 5 or 6 pokemon and a pokemon that knows SLEEP on your team. Stock up with pokeballs (Great Balls work the best). Now Save your game before you enter Route 8 since saving after this point will disrupt the procedure.

On Route 8, stand in front of the door of the Underground Path (don't let the gambler see you or you will need to restart where you last saved). Walk down one step and IMMEDIATELY press start. If you succeed, the menu will pop up before the Gambler "sees" you. Go to the Pokemon list and fly to Cerulean City. The Gambler will see you just before you fly away. Your Start button will no longer function. Go north across Nugget Bridge and head east until you find the Youngster described above.

If you walk right up to the Youngster, the game will lock up, so you'll have to let him see you and walk up to you. Defeat his Slowpoke(afterwards your start button will work again), then fly to Lavender Town. Head west into Route 8. As soon as you enter the narrow path, the menu will pop up by itself. Press B to exit. . . and a wild Mew should appear. Mew will be at Level 7 and its only attack will be Pound. Get'em! Once you've caught Mew, you can save without any ill effects!

NOTE: I did this on my red game and I assume it works on the others (the Pokemon Board Mods say 'Yes'). It is well worth testing it because it is fairly easy to do but it is a little time consuming.

OK, even if I really did stop playing video games like I said, I have been having this strangest urge to play my Pocket Monster games again. Which I will. In Ruby, I need to get my PM's painted in the Museum and I am close to finishing the Pokedex. But I do not know how in hell I will get PMs like Jirachi or Mew and all of them. When I played Silver I only needed THREE more PMs. Mew, Kabuto, and Kabutops. Then my game got deleted.
