General Pokemon Discussion

I wonder when they are going to give them attack animations.

I wonder when they are going to give them attack animations.

I really hope that happens.

also, I'm stuck between choosing Cindaquil and Totodile. Which one should I get??? (replaying Crystal again)

[Shadowth117]

Cindaquil. Fire types are best.

[Devicho]

I've always preferred Cyndaquil over Totodile, so I'm voting Cynda.

[mozzy]

Totodile, but thats because I always pick water.

[Vipershark]

For red and gsc I always picked fire (meaning cyndaquil was my first) but afterwards I always picked water

[JarJar]

new sprites!

YAY!

all sprites are on bulbapedia. Go there for better quality.

these sprites are old news man, they released the high quality sprites ages ago

Going to go through the update point by point, cause i'm dumb like that...

Eusine makes a comeback? Good, since I completely missed Crystal, it'll be nice to have some more story...
Sweet, I guess...I dunno, I don't use them, so it doesn't really affect me...although Dialga's awesome
9 new Mini-games? Cool, I wonder if you win any items for your Pokemon
Well, if it's true, the Latis will most likely be another version exclusive
Lugia gets a 5 Level boost, and Ho-oh gets the 25-Level Shaft, but I guess this makes it more likely that the Gyms will be tougher
Red Gyarados returns at the same Level it was in G/S, which is cool, but since it's a little farther in the game, shouldn't he have been boosted a few levels?
I wonder what their 'Hidden Abilities' will be? I'm guessing either a different ability than Pressure, some new Moves, or new forms...And I don't really want new Forms(It's probably been too long for that anyway)...

I also forgot this, but the Artwork for the Legendary Beasts looks awesome

Lugia gets a 5 Level boost, and Ho-oh gets the 25-Level Shaft, but I guess this makes it more likely that the Gyms will be tougher

so i guess you only played silver

[JoshR691]

Pretty much...But now that I actually looked it up, Crystals Lugia and Ho-oh were both Level 60, so they both get screwed by 15 Levels...

[Alpha Six]

Red Gyarados returns at the same Level it was in G/S, which is cool, but since it's a little farther in the game, shouldn't he have been boosted a few levels?

Hell no. I used a level 35 red Gyarados and completely destroyed two Elite Four members on my own. Level 30 Gyarados is perfectly fine where it is.

[JarJar]

Wait how is it a little farther in the game??

[Alpha Six]

besides, i love low-level legendaries

it gives you a bit more choice in the move set they have :F
