    only thing pokemon I played and liked was "snap" or whatever - the photography game where you took pictures of various pokemon along a predefined track. Didn't take long to "beat" but was entertaining.

    This is a DS game though right? so either way I wont be playing it.

    enjoy being adicted though!

    I feel your pain. Or joy, whichever way you want to describe it.

    I had never played a Pokemon game before, so this is all new to me.
    I got it one week ago and have played 24 hours, 15 minutes.
    What level is your stuff? All of mine are now entering their 30's.
    I love all the different ways I can 1-shot stuff.

    My current party-
    Prinplup(penguin, water, soon to be steal/water. Fairly balanced stats, kind of on the low side though)
    Luxary(Electric, very high special damage. I just taught it hyberbeam and thunder for 1-shot goodness)
    Roselia(Grass, very high special damage. If that wasn't bad enough, it has drain life(which can sometimes practically full heal, sleep(got overpowered?) and paralyze)
    Kadabra(concentrated psychic awesome. oh, and very high special damage)
    Gyarados(Water/flying. Very high HP and physical damage.)
    An owl. Currently looking for a fire-type replacement. Preferably with very high special damage.

    I had the red and blue versions for GBC back in like the 6th grade or whatever. Everyone had them, they were fun.

    How's the new DS version any different?
  • SmoodCrooznSmoodCroozn Join Date: 2003-11-04 Member: 22310Members
    So how many of them are in this version?

    I think Pokemon started getting kind of crappy after Gold/Silver versions.

    I mean, theres, what, 450 now? The slogan is "Gotta Catch 'Em All", but personally I think if should be changed to, "Good F***in' Luck".

    Hahahhaha.

    I stopped playing after Red. Collecting, training(A certain duplication glitch with Rare Candies helped) was too damn tedious. And there were only 151 of those guys. No more Pokemon for me.

    Gold and Silver added a lot of cool stuff. 100 more Pokemon, a new continent, a day and night cycle... all that stuff was very cool.

    In fact, I wish I could play again, but for some reason, my Silver cartridge, and everyone else's Gold and Silver cartridge that I know of, can no longer save, which makes it pretty much impossible to play.

    Edit: And I totally have Mew on my copy of Blue version. If I recall, my line up was Venusaur, Articuno, Dugtrio, Zapdos, Mewtwo and Mew.

    I was considering picking this up along with a DS Lite (Phat will be gifted off to the girlfriend). I never really got into FF III. I spend the majority of the time just playing tetris. o_O

    No way in hell can I catch them all.
    But I'll make a godly Piplup, that's my promise. With a cheesy name like "Blue Wing", how can I fail?

    srsly. And actually, 450 was in Emerald. Now we've broken 600.

    As for my current lineup, I've actually gone pretty similar to you, Isamil.

    Prinplup
    Luxio(3 levels from 30 and your evolution)
    Ponyta
    Budew(I can't get it happy enough darnit! I've fed it so many poffins it'd burst and it just won't go!)

    My last 2 places are open for 1 real flying pokemon, and 1 temporary rock one, until I can get Strength, so I can get <a href="http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Gible" target="_blank">Gible</a>, a freakin' Land Shark that turns into a Land Hammerhead. He's bad***.

    POST YOUR FRIENDS CODES PLZKTHX.

    Quan there's a whole entire thread stickied that's devoted to posting DS friend codes. I will not be participating, however, because I do not own a DS and would not play Pokemon if I did.

    Yes, one which hasn't been touched even by it's own participants in months.

    I don't have intarweb access at home just now so that's why I haven't touched it quan, what's your excuse? :p

    anyhoo... I enjoyed red and I've been waiting for a few versions so it's significantly different when I try it again. The online part could swing it for me but first I want to see what pokemon ranger is about :3
  • DiscoZombieDiscoZombie Join Date: 2003-08-05 Member: 18951Members
    I played one of the originals back in the day... kinda played like the first Dragon Warrior game from 1989. I got about halfway through before getting bored. =p

    Says the man with a pokemon name.

    Yes, I have played RED as with many of you. I do have memories about that game... Cinnabar island and that missingno. and rare candy glitch... yes, those days...

    Anybody remember the cloning technique when trading? You simply rip that cord at a precise moment and BLAM! Two mews you cheaters...

    I've yet to thank that rude mofo that helped me and my friends discover the old cloning glitch.

    She just kind of plowed between us while we were trading.

    The one I left in your quote is the answer.

    Just like how 9-10 year old kids play M/A rated games, 20+ year olds can play pokemon and enjoy it.
